"What do you think? Is what Ying Mu said feasible?”
Facing the First Emperor's question, Zhangtai Palace fell silent again.
Was it feasible?
Of course it was possible!
This question wasn't something difficult for everyone in Zhangtai Palace to decide.
Ying Mu's suggestion made many people who had been secretly supporting the enfeoffment system feel somewhat unwilling.
However, it was just a little bit of unwillingness.
If they were to really object, they would really be reluctant.
This was because they knew very well.
Before this, the First Emperor was unwilling to implement the enfeoffment system.
The chances of Great Qin implementing the enfeoffment system were also very low.
This could be seen from the fact that Li Si, the Prime Minister of the Great Qin Dynasty, had taken the lead in opposing it.
After all, many times, Li Si's actions were the embodiment of the First Emperor's will.
Li Si opposed the enfeoffment system. Did he really disagree with the enfeoffment system?
In other words, as the Prime Minister of Great Qin, Li Si didn't want to split the land and become a king, so that the Li family could obtain a land that could last for thousands of years?
Was he really so open and aboveboard, wholeheartedly serving the country and not considering his own family?
How was this possible?
Everyone present was an experienced old fox.
Many people would have a hollow eyebrow if they plucked it out.
How could they believe that Li Si, Wang Ben, and Meng Kuo didn't have the intention to split the land and make them marquises?
The reason why he didn't show it.
It was just a manifestation of the First Emperor's will.
The First Emperor did not want to implement the enfeoffment system.
That was why the civil officials led by Li Si and the generals led by Wang Ben and Meng Kuo opposed the enfeoffment.
Lu Xun once said," When you want to open a window for a room, it's best to suggest that you remove the roof. That way, others will think that opening a window is good.”
This logic was also applicable to the current Great Qin Dynasty.
When the First Emperor did not want to implement the enfeoffment system at all.
As such, Ying Mu's alternative enfeoffment system became something that Great Qin's officials could accept.
Wasn't it just opening up the Forsaken Land?
Wasn't it just a fief outside of Great Qin's territory that acted as a barrier for Great Qin?
Wasn't it just paying for Great Qin's garrison to expand their territory?
Wasn't it just spending money to build a fief?
........
Although it had all kinds of shortcomings and inadequacies.
Although it was very reluctant and heartbreaking. After all, the money spent in the process was really quite a lot.
But this was still a hope, wasn't it?
It was better than having no hope at all, right?
Who knows, they might even find a piece of fertile land.
It would take one or two generations.
Perhaps he could create another Qi State or Chu State.
Therefore, many of the ministers quickly made a decision amidst their dilemma and helplessness.
This seemed to be their last hope.
He had no choice but to agree!
Even if they did not agree, the descendants of the meritorious officials who were not qualified to be enfeoffed would do everything they could to pass the proposal.
"Your Majesty, this old minister believes that although the enfeoffment system mentioned by the fourth young master is somewhat unbelievable, it is reasonable and can be tried.”
After a long time, Imperial Censor Feng Jie was the first to step forward and speak.
He didn't know how to describe Ying Mu's words and strategy. In the end, he could only use the word 'inconceivable' to describe it.
Yes!
Using territories that did not belong to Great Qin to endow Great Qin's meritorious subjects.
Yet, everyone felt that it made sense.
Wasn't this unbelievable?
However, Feng Jie was a shrewd person, so he didn't completely agree.
He only expressed that what Ying Mu said made sense and that he could give it a try.
If he succeeded.
Naturally, there was no problem. The ones who would benefit the most would definitely be the great clans.
If the attempt failed.
Naturally, there was nothing much to say. Ying Mu would be the sacrificial lamb.
In any case, he would not suffer any losses.
This was also the outcome of the past reformers.
Sacrificing a person, happiness for you and me!
Reformation?
That's right!
In the eyes of Feng Jie and the others, Ying Mu's strategy was not just a suggestion; it could change the entire Great Qin.
If the reform failed, the impact would not be great. At most, they would lose some soldiers.
However, once he succeeded. It was a new enfeoffment method that was comparable to the Shang Lord's Farming Technique, allowing Great Qin, this massive war machine, to once again operate and expand its territory to a higher level.
At the same time, all of Great Qin's upper echelons would be able to obtain massive benefits.
It was also because he wanted to understand this point.
That was why Feng Jie was the first to stand out and agree with Ying Mu's suggestion.
What Feng Jie could think of, the others in Zhangtai Palace could also think of.
Therefore, they quickly made a decision and agreed.
"Your Majesty, this old minister also thinks that what the fourth young master said is right. Our Great Qin has swallowed the two Zhou Dynasties and lost the vassals. Our national strength has surpassed all the dynasties in the past and present. We should naturally inherit the will of our predecessors and explore the four ends of the Divine Prefecture.”
"Your Majesty, the actions of the fourth young master are undoubtedly pointing out the path for the future development of our Great Qin. Your words, your plan, and your ambition are worthy of my admiration…"
"Your Majesty, I feel that since the fourth young master has such great ambitions, we naturally have to support him."
"Your Majesty, this old minister seconds."
“........”
Just as the First Emperor thought.
No one in Zhangtai Palace objected to Ying Mu's words.
Even Prime Minister Li Si, who was the vanguard of the opposition to the enfeoffment system, had no choice but to remain silent.
And in many cases, silence meant agreement.
As the discussions sounded out, all of Great Qin's important officials stood there, representing the general trend.
One was that even the First Emperor had to seriously consider the situation.
Ying Mu's companions were all stunned.
The Eldest Young Master, Fu Su, was so shocked that his jaw almost fell off.
He had never expected this.
The enfeoffment system could be played like this.
What was even more ridiculous was…Such a ridiculous enfeoffment system could still gain the approval of so many ministers.
This was really ridiculous.
It was ridiculous.
At this moment, there was only one thought left in Fu Su's mind.
"Is this my taciturn fourth brother?”
"Could it be that someone impersonated him?”
