After listening to Chen Ke's words, it was as if a huge door had opened in front of Zu Long's eyes.
From the beginning, the Ancestral Dragon felt that he was an emperor.
The land in the world was his.
But after hearing Chen Ke's words, he understood.
He did not control the land at all.
Those lands were instead in the hands of the big landowners and nobles.
Now that he wanted to use it, he realized that there was no suitable land for him to use.
He was a little dejected.
However, this state lasted for a very short time.
"Then, State Preceptor, what do you think we should do?”
Chen Ke could tell from the moment the Ancestral Dragon raised his head.
The Ancestral Dragon was that kind of person who was unyielding.
After being hit for a moment, he immediately recovered.
Such a person could achieve great things.
" Your Majesty," Chen Ke quickly asked," can you accept that there will be a period of chaos if this matter is carried out?”
This…
The Ancestral Dragon indeed had to consider it.
The word chaos had already become a sensitive word to the Ancestral Dragon.
"State Preceptor, don't you have a way to implement it without causing chaos?”
"Your Majesty, how can there be anything perfect in this world?" Chen Ke laughed.”
"In any era, land is the lifeblood of some people. It's too difficult to touch these people's lifeblood and not cause chaos.”
The Ancestral Dragon was also a little embarrassed.
"There's a saying that goes,'It's better to have a short pain than a long pain'. Instead of having a long history of drawbacks, it's better to make a one-size-fits-all approach and formulate strict laws to restrain land annexation.”
"Only by eliminating this loophole at the source can we lay a good foundation for everything in the future. Your Majesty, your decision now will pave the way for thousands of generations to come.”
This sentence hit the Ancestral Dragon's heart.
The Ancestral Dragon's greatest wish in his life was for Great Qin to be passed down for thousands of years.
"Alright, State Preceptor, what do you want to do?”
Chen Ke pondered for a moment and said," First, formulate laws to temporarily put an end to private land transactions. Announce the production of sweet potatoes and potatoes and make a promise to the people of the world. As long as the implementation of sweet potatoes and potatoes continues, all the people will be guaranteed to have food to eat in the next two years.”
"At the same time, begin surveying the land again.”
"Comparing the inventory, if the land rewarded by the meritorious officials does not match the inventory measured again, the excess must be returned.”
Hiss…
Ancestral Dragon gasped.
Re-measuring the land.
This would be a life-and-death battle with the various landowners and aristocrats.
No wonder Chen Ke said that there would be chaos in the middle.
This was not as simple as chaos. This would simply cause a rebellion.
"Your Majesty, this method of mine requires a bold emperor to come up with.”
One sentence blocked all the excuses of the Ancestral Dragon.
Are you going to do it or not?
The Ancestral Dragon made up his mind.
"For the sake of Great Qin's future generations, this matter has to be carried out.”
Chen Ke stood up and bowed deeply to Zu Long.""If Your Majesty succeeds in this matter, our names will definitely be left behind in history.”
Chen Ke's method of giving him a sweet date to eat directly hooked the Ancestral Dragon's heart out.
The Ancestral Dragon thought about how the history books thousands of years later would record his land revolution and how he had made a name for himself, and he felt great hope for Great Qin's beautiful future.
The two of them discussed until late at night before Ancestral Dragon took his leave.
Back in the palace, the Ancestral Dragon could not suppress the excitement in his heart.
He even summoned Prime Minister Li Si in the middle of the night.
Li Si sat in the carriage into the palace and wondered if the Emperor had thought of a way to solve the problem of the land by summoning him in the middle of the night.
His Majesty's efficiency in handling matters was already so high?
He suddenly thought of Chen Ke.
He slapped his forehead.
"How am I muddle-headed? His Majesty must have gone to discuss it with the state preceptor.”
"It seems that the state preceptor is really omnipotent.”
After entering the Imperial Palace, he jogged all the way to Xianyang Palace.
In Xianyang Palace, a few eunuchs and palace maids were so sleepy that they were dozing off.
However, the Ancestral Dragon sitting on the throne was in high spirits.
Ever since he took the immortal pill, not only did he return to his younger self in terms of appearance.
Even his mental state had recovered.
Even if he didn't sleep in the middle of the night, he was still very energetic.
Li Si hurriedly ran in from outside.
"Your Majesty, why did you summon me so late?”
Ancestral Dragon looked at Li Si and waved his hand for him to sit down.
The monarch and his subjects sat opposite each other.
"Prime minister, summoning me at such a late hour means that there are some things that I must discuss with you. Only then can I be at ease.”
Li Si listened respectfully.
"Tonight, Zhen and Imperial Preceptor discussed the problem of land. Imperial Preceptor gave a practical solution, but this method is a little intense, so I specially summoned the Prime Minister to discuss it.”
"Your Majesty, please speak!"
"Imperial Preceptor's opinion is to re-measure Great Qin's land and take all the land that should not have been rewarded to the Imperial Court.“
"When the imperial court sees the results of the sweet potatoes and potatoes planted, the big landowners and nobles will be willing to contribute their land.”
This…
He heard that the land was being re-measured.
Li Si gasped.
It wasn't that he hadn't thought of this method before, but he didn't dare to.
This was a very sensitive matter.
It was even more intense than Shang Yang's reform back then.
Everyone had seen Shang Yang's final outcome.
The person who did this would definitely suffer such an outcome.
"Prime minister, do you not dare? This zhen is going to hand this matter over to you. With this zhen backing you up, what are you afraid of?”
Li Si was shocked.
He instantly understood that His Majesty had not called him here to discuss the feasibility of this matter.
It depended on whether he was willing to do it.
If he wasn't willing, the Emperor would definitely have another candidate.
He thought about it carefully and understood that this was a great opportunity for him.
If he succeeded, he would definitely become the representative of Legalism.
He even surpassed his junior brother Han Feizi.
Therefore, he agreed without hesitation.
"Your Majesty's kindness is vast and mighty. I will definitely repay it with my life. I am willing to bear this heavy responsibility.”
Ancestral Dragon was delighted." Good. When you go back, prepare an effective strategy. We will discuss it in court tomorrow morning!"”
Li Si cupped his hands and left.”
On the way back, Li Si could not help but feel excited.
This matter could definitely be said to be a great revolution that would change thousands of generations.
Even if he would end up like Shang Yang.
However, to be able to leave a brilliant record in history, losing a life was nothing.
At the same time, he had his own plans.
In the court, the person who was most at odds with him was the Right Prime Minister, Feng Quji.
He could use Feng Quji as an excuse for this…
