Just as Li Si left, Meng Tian and Wang Jian received a secret letter from the palace.
"Master, Master!"
A servant called out softly at the door of Wang Jian's room.
Wang Jian, as a veteran general, was old and lacked sleep. He had just fallen asleep not long ago.
She was still unwilling to be woken up by the servant.
"What can't you say tomorrow morning in the middle of the night?“
Seeing the displeasure on Wang Jian's face, the servant was also trembling with fear.
"If you have something to say, say it quickly!" Wang Jian draped his clothes over his shoulders.
The servant handed over a letter unique to the palace.
Wang Jian immediately became spirited after taking a look.
"Quick, quick, quick, go to the study!"
The master and servant soon arrived at the study.
"Light up!"
The lights were quickly lit.
Wang Jian carefully read the contents of the letter under the candlelight.
He took a look.
Wang Jian was immediately frightened until his hands and feet turned cold, and he fell onto the chair.
"Master, what's wrong? Are you okay?”The servant quickly came forward.
Seeing Wang Jian's face turn pale, he asked with concern.
Wang Jian carefully wrapped the silk.
He took the silk cloth again and wrote a few names on it.
"You, go out immediately and bring the token arrow from our residence to call these people to the residence.”
"Master, it's already this day…"
"Hurry up and go!"
The servant quickly left.
Wang Jian sat in the study for a long time and did not come back to his senses.
"The sky is going to change, the sky is going to change!"
The same thing happened in the Meng Residence.
After Meng Tian received the letter from the palace, she immediately called her younger brother Meng Yi over.
The two brothers controlled the army outside.
One of them was a close minister of the emperor.
The two brothers were extremely trusted by the Ancestral Dragon.
As soon as he saw this letter, he knew that there was a lead on this matter.
"Shang Yang's reform is only so much.”
"This must be the work of the state preceptor!”
Meng Tian nodded.
This state preceptor was getting more and more unfathomable.
How bold.
It was not an exaggeration to say that this matter had shaken the country's foundation.
Many of the old Qin people had already become new nobles.
They had managed the land for several generations. How could they just give it up?
However, there was a good premise. The current Ancestral Dragon's body seemed to be better.
With this god behind him, things might go a little smoother.
"This matter was jointly led by His Majesty and Imperial Preceptor, our Meng family cannot go against him, we support him!”
Meng Yi's words made Meng Tian feel very gratified.
"Good!"
……
The next morning.
When Meng Tian and Wang Jian met, they immediately learned something from each other's eyes.
Whether it was in court or on the battlefield, the two of them were good comrades-in-arms.
With a glance, he understood that the other party also knew about this matter.
The court discussion soon began.
Prime Minister Li Si stood up first.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Preceptor mentioned planting potatoes and sweet potatoes yesterday, and we discussed it when we returned. This is a great opportunity to change the face of Great Qin.”
Li Si's fans also stood up.
"Prime Minister, you are right. If sweet potatoes and potatoes are spread across the world, not only will it benefit the people of Great Qin, but it will also benefit generations. This is the greatest thing in history.”
Prime Minister Li Si said again," However, we encountered a thorny problem when we promoted the planting of sweet potatoes and potatoes. Where is the land to be planted?"”
As the state preceptor, Chen Ke sat beside the Ancestral Dragon's drooping hand. His position was obviously higher than the officials.
Looking at Li Si and that person echoing each other, he couldn't help but think of a crosstalk segment.
Li Si continued," The reason why Great Qin's food production has been insufficient for so many years is not only because of the weather, but also because of man-made reasons.”
"That is, the annexation of land has led to a large amount of land being wasted and abandoned.”
"The land is crisscrossed, and the land is mostly empty. As for the people without land, they could only starve and even become slaves of the big landowners and nobles to survive.”
His words were deafening.
The entire hall was buzzing.
Upon hearing this, someone immediately felt uneasy.
Is His Majesty going to touch our land?
No!
His Majesty was such a wise person. He would definitely be able to see that moving the land was moving the foundation of the country.
This shouldn't have happened.
" Your Majesty," Li Si continued," I'd like to make a suggestion!”
"Please mention it, dear minister!" Ancestral Dragon Hong said.
"I suggest that we re-measure the land of the world.”
"Let's see how many families have already exceeded their quota.”
Whoosh…
His words set off a thousand waves.
Li Si was really bold.
This was going against the will of the world.
Re-measuring the land.
Didn't it mean to redistribute the land?
"This matter concerns the world and everyone's interests. It also concerns whether Great Qin's legacy can be passed down for thousands of generations.”
"This subject is willing to be the first to take out all the land awarded by the Li family and return it to the Imperial Court.”
Was Li Si serious?
Was he crazy or something?
However, could it be that His Majesty was behind this?
The officials were all guessing.
Just as they were guessing.
Wang Jian was the first to step out from the ranks of generals.
"Your Majesty, this old minister is also willing to take out all the land of the Wang Clan and return it to the Imperial Court to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes.”
The old general was going crazy!
What was going on? Did they make a connection?
Just as everyone was shocked, Meng Tian stood up.
"Meng tribe is also willing to return all the land to the imperial court to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes.”
Meng Yi also stood out.
He expressed the same thoughts as his brother.
The officials panicked.
Soon, one of the nine ministers, Doctor Ling, stood out.
"Ridiculous!"
Li Si looked at the doctor's order and asked," Where does the doctor's order's absurdity come from?"”
The doctor was unconvinced.
His family had been nobles for generations, and several generations had been exploited in exchange for the fertile land they had today.
He immediately retorted," All the land we have came from rewards. It's all the glory that we have earned through generations of hard work for the court. Today, we are returning it all. Isn't it telling the world that the former king was blind and that His Majesty was unreasonable and gave us rewards!”
"Are you trying to trap His Majesty and the previous king in an unjust situation? Is this what a subject should do?”
Good fellow, you're putting on a big hat right away.
The officials all looked at Li Si with hatred.
The ministers all expressed their opinions, but they did not agree.
Li Si refuted them one by one, and the debate in the court grew louder and louder.
Even though Li Si was verbally challenging the scholars, the results weren't good.
Fu Su also stood out.
"Prime Minister, Fusu is also against it. This move will shake the foundation of the country. If we rashly carry out land measurement, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of the meritorious soldiers.”
"When the time comes, does the Prime Minister want to use force to suppress it?”
Right Prime Minister Feng Quji didn't say a word as he listened to the officials 'discussion.
Hence, the Ancestral Dragon immediately looked at Feng Quji.
"What does the Right Prime Minister think?"
