When the Ancestral Dragon said this, he was so excited that his face was a little red.
It could be seen that when he learned that there was actually such a large territory in the world.
While Great Qin still had an absolute advantage, the Ancestral Dragon was incredibly ambitious.
He suddenly felt that the things he had done before were insignificant compared to conquering the entire world.
State Preceptor Chen Ke was a good helper for him to realize his wish of conquering the world.
Thinking of this, the Ancestral Dragon said loudly,"It really is Mister Tianci and Great Qin."
"When Great Qin and We are both in a difficult situation, Sir, your appearance is like the sun rising from the sea, shining on Great Qin. If we can get Sir's help, Great Qin will definitely become even stronger.”
"I am willing to take you as my master and ask you to assist Great Qin!”
All the officials said in unison.
"Sir, please assist Great Qin!"
"Sir, please assist Great Qin!"
"Sir, please assist Great Qin!"
All the officials were convinced and admired Chen Ke.
As expected of the Imperial Advisor, he had found a new direction for Great Qin.
Chen Ke was also moved by the Ancestral Dragon.
"Good!"
"I'm willing to work together with Your Majesty and everyone else to create a peerless Great Qin!”
The Ancestral Dragon and the officials were overjoyed.
In the next few days, the Ancestral Dragon Grand Banquet was held to celebrate Chen Ke's arrival.
At the same time, he gathered Li Si, Wang Jian, Meng Tian, and the other senior officials to discuss.
Wang Jian and Meng Tian had been leading troops outside. When they returned to the capital, they heard that the State Preceptor, Chen Ke, had arrived.
Moreover, they had brought Great Qin 2,000 to 3,000 kilograms of food per mu.
He even took out a map of the world and set a new goal for Great Qin.
All of them were shocked and wanted to see what the famous state preceptor was like.
They had just arrived and met with the ministers at the banquet.
The Ancestral Dragon summoned them first.
After everyone sat down, the Ancestral Dragon dismissed all the eunuchs and palace maids.
Only the monarch and his subjects were left in the hall.
As an old general, Wang Jian spoke first,""Your Majesty, after I returned, I heard that you had executed Zhao Gao, the Grand Scribe, and all the Xianyang Orders.”
"To be honest, Your Majesty, even if you didn't order these people to be killed, this old minister would have suggested that you kill them.”
Meng Tian smiled and said nothing.
Zhao Gao's death was definitely a good thing for Meng Tian.
The old general Wang Jian's straightforwardness also made the Ancestral Dragon very happy in his heart.
"Your Majesty, you look much younger now.”
"It's reasonable to say that you're in your twenties or thirties. Is this really the effect of the immortal pill refined by the Imperial Preceptor?”
Ancestral Dragon nodded." That's true. Imperial Preceptor is an immortal. He has cultivated for thousands of years.”
"Excellent, excellent, excellent. With the help of the state preceptor, conquering the world will not be difficult.”
Ancestral Dragon did not let the old general Wang Jian continue and said first,"The Imperial Advisor has indeed set out Great Qin's goal of conquering the world, but the first condition is that Great Qin must manage its internal affairs well and not let Great Qin's backyard catch fire.”
Li Si, Meng Tian, and the others all agreed with this.
"Now that the state preceptor has given us three to four thousand catties of grain per mu, there is a very tricky problem that needs to be solved.”
Seeing the Ancestral Dragon's expression suddenly turn serious, the old general, Wang Jian, Li Si, and Meng Tian all sat upright.
There was no longer the laughter of the ministers and ministers.
The Ancestral Dragon coughed lightly and said slowly,"The most troublesome problem is the problem of land.”
"The production of three to four thousand catties of grain per mu is still just talk. To turn this into real food, we need land to grow it.”
"I summoned all of you today to ask if you have any suggestions?”
"Where should we plant this grain? Who should be responsible for planting? Who can guarantee success?"
After hearing this, everyone fell silent.
This was a huge problem.
It was very tempting to produce three to four thousand catties of grain per mu, but the premise was that they had to find a place to grow it.
This involved many aspects, and it was not just a matter of the imperial court.
Li Si pondered for a moment before saying,""Just as Your Majesty said, this is indeed a very thorny problem.”
"Even though our Great Qin is vast and has four seas, the land that is truly in the hands of the Imperial Court is extremely small.”
Wang Jian did not understand, and he said,"Prime Minister, this old general doesn't understand. Our Great Qin is so vast; can't we even find a place to grow food?”
How much land was there?
And how many were suitable for growing food.
Even the emperor, Zu Long, did not understand it as clearly as Li Si, the prime minister.
Everyone looked at Li Si.
Li Si also explained," Old General, you might not know this. In terms of land, let's not talk about the rewards for those meritorious officials who fought with Great Qin to unify the six countries.”
"In order to appease the nobles of the Six Nations, they gave them a lot of land.”
"As the Great Qin Dynasty has been peaceful for a long time, more and more officials have been rewarded with land.”
"Also, after the new aristocrats are born, the annexation and private transactions between the people are too many to count.”
"None of these lands are in the hands of the Imperial Court. They don't even have to pay taxes!”
Wang Jian sighed.
He understood this situation.
For example, his Wang family had followed Great Qin for generations and made countless contributions.
Whether it was the promotion of a noble title or the achievement of military exploits.
The monarch's reward, in addition to the corresponding gold and silk, was also given the corresponding land reward.
Back then, the soldiers of Old Qin were stronger than the other six dynasties in the east.
In the middle of this, there must be brave men under the heavy reward.
This mechanism was indeed very good back then.
All of Great Qin's soldiers wanted to use the heads of their enemies to exchange for rewards so that they could return home and have a wife and children.
But now, this disadvantage was revealed.
" All in all," Li Si said again," it's very difficult to find a piece of land suitable for growing potatoes and sweet potatoes nowadays.“
"And it's also difficult to make these meritorious officials spit out the land that has been rewarded.”
"It's even more difficult to take the land out of the hands of the great nobles who have swallowed the land into their stomachs.”
"If we forcefully implement it, it might even arouse the resistance of these great nobles, landowners, and meritorious officials.”
