Chapter 72 The king seems to have the intention of reform
Ying Zheng said: "What changes should be made?"
Wang Wan said: "The Tingwei has just said that the punishment should be suspended and the tax should be reduced. Let the people of the Six Kingdoms compare with the current Qin Law."
Ying Zheng and the ministers understood that this was what it meant.
Change the current Qin Law to a lighter tone, and then throw it to the people of the Six Kingdoms, so that the people of the Six Kingdoms can find out: Hey, the Qin Law is not so harsh and scary? No, the previous Qin laws were very strict, but the ones we use now have been relaxed.
This must be something that King Qin deliberately mitigated for us. From this point of view, King Qin is not as cruel as the rumors say. He is willing to change the laws of Qin for us. King Qin is a pretty good king!
Wang Wan continued: "However, we must grasp the balance and do not make it exceed the 'suspended punishment, thin tax and limited tax' for the Guanzhong elders, otherwise the Daqin elders will be dissatisfied."
"They will feel that they are the old people of the Qin Dynasty. They have paid a lot for the Qin Dynasty to unify the world. The six countries Why are the people like them?"
Ying Zheng thought: "If you don't care about equality, you will not be rewarded accordingly?"
Wang Wan said: "Exactly. This is how people's hearts are, but the elders of Da Qin have indeed contributed greatly to the unification of Da Qin, and they should be rewarded. "
"I think we can make changes like this. The Guanzhong elders' 'suspended punishment, thin tax collection' will be ranked first, and the rest of the land will be ranked in order according to the time of the unification of the Qin Dynasty, and a year will be determined, such as five or ten years. When the time is up, the world will be unified into the same "suspension of punishments, thin taxation and restraint". "
If Wang Wan proposed enfeoffment in history as the Qin Dynasty slowly implemented it in terms of system, then what he said at this time would be the same. It is progress in the level of the law, step by step.
The ministers nodded. Wang Wan’s method not only appeased the old Qin people, but also made the old Qin people feel that they had received benefits and preferential treatment, and would not be dissatisfied. The people of the six countries also felt that they had received benefits, even for a short time. Not as good as the old Qin people, but seeing hope for the future, they can still be comforted.
We all have a bright future!
But this method takes time, and it depends on whether the king will agree.
Feng Jie said: "I think the prime minister's method is very good and suitable for the public opinion platform. First, he can focus on promoting the merits of 'prompt punishment, thin tax and restrain' to the world, so as to strengthen the king's hope; second, he can take the opportunity to say that it is not easy for the king and the Qin Dynasty, so as to ease the Qin Dynasty." Sleepy "
On the second point, Feng Jie did not explain everything. "It is not easy to talk about the king and Da Qin, and to ease Da Qin's dilemma." The purpose is to buy time for Da Qin to make changes or for Da Qin to completely control the world.
But he was not sure what Ying Zheng was thinking, and could only vaguely say, what if Ying Zheng had no intention of modifying Qin's laws, but was desperate to control the entire world?
Afterwards, another minister spoke, with the same theme: the old Qin people in Guanzhong must be appeased. This is the foundation of the Qin Dynasty and cannot be lost.
Hearing the speeches of these ministers, Ying Zheng felt quite depressed. So many ministers could see the problem, but the historical version of himself that Li Nian mentioned did the opposite.
‘The second generation of the Qin Dynasty died, and I have the main responsibility. It’s not unjust! '
Ying Zheng and the ministers discussed for a long time, and set a framework on how to reply to the old Qin people's wish that the war was over and life would get better. Then they would fill in the content to form a concrete and feasible of government decrees.
Watching the ministers leaving one by one, Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes. He summoned the ministers this time. It was indeed him who felt the crisis in the Qin Dynasty and wanted to get opinions from the ministers. But at the same time, it was also him. I want to observe the reactions of the ministers and lay a foundation in their minds.
So far, the results are good. These people are very smart and have understood his intention - he wants to change the laws of Qin, or in other words, he wants to change the laws of Qin!
Someone from the current dynasty asked if the Qin Dynasty was destroyed, why would it be destroyed? How to treat it? I want to establish a throne again, set up a platform, and take out the globe. Now I use the bamboo slips of the elders of the San Qin Dynasty to talk about things.
As long as the ministers are not stupid, they can all see that their king is aware of the crisis in the Qin Dynasty and wants to change the law!
Don't tell me, now is the time when the six countries are unified and the world is initially settled. It is really the best time for reform. The king's prestige has reached its peak and is the most convincing. Although the six countries have residual forces, But I don’t dare to be too ostentatious right now.
If changes happen again in five or ten years, it will not be so easy. At that time, if you want to change the law and save the situation of the death of the second generation of Qin Dynasty, you will get twice the result with half the effort, because the people of the old Qin do not believe in the Qin Dynasty. Got it!
Although the old Qin people are living a miserable life, they still have expectations for the King of Qin because of the victory of destroying the six kingdoms and unifying the world.
The same is true for the people of the Six Kingdoms. Although they are suspicious and fearful, after all, it has not actually happened to them, and they still have the idea that Qin Law may not be so scary. It's just that in the original history, the expectations of the old Qin people were frustrated, and the fears of the people of the six countries were confirmed... Yes, our Great Qin is so cruel!
When he wanted to change the law, Ying Zheng knew that he couldn't do it on his own, not even Li Nian. He also needed the help of the ministers of the Qin Dynasty. He did this several times to make the ministers accept that he wanted to change the law and be willing to follow him.
During this process, Ying Zheng's thoughts are gradually changing.
At first, Ying Zheng was shocked when he heard that Li Nian said that the Second Emperor of Qin had died, but he didn't actually feel how serious the problem was. He even wondered if Li Nian was lying to him?
But these bamboo slips sent back today made him truly feel that if he did not make changes, his Great Qin would really perish.
Meng Yi, who was standing aside, suddenly heard Ying Zheng say: "Li Niancheng doesn't bully others!"
Why did the king suddenly say this?
Meng Yi was stunned. Before he could figure it out, he heard Ying Zheng say: "Where is Zhang Han?"
"I have been in the palace for a long time and am waiting for the king's summons."
< br>Although Ying Zheng said in his order, "Don't summon Zhang Han urgently yet," Meng Yi knew that the king meant not to summon him immediately, not not to summon him, so Zhang Han had already entered the palace at this time.
"Let him in!"
Zhang Han entered the palace carrying a bag of bamboo slips, saluted Ying Zheng and said, "I have seen the king!"
After receiving Ying Zheng's secret appointment Afterwards, Zhang Han did not leave Xianyang immediately, but was recruiting his own people and writing his arrangements for the pilot plan.
Especially the latter, which is a plan written to Ying Zheng. Only with the consent of the political boss can he take drastic measures and show off his talents.
Hearing the summons from Ying Zheng today, Zhang Han thought that Ying Zheng was about to make the final decision, so he immediately rushed to the palace with the bamboo slips written on it.
"Get up!"
Ying Zheng looked at the bag of bamboo slips Zhang Hand carried, nodded and said: "It seems that you are working hard these days."
Zhang Han said: " How dare you not serve your Majesty with all your heart?”
Ying Zhengdao: "You have bamboo slips to present to me. I also have some bamboo slips with you. Let's talk about it after seeing it."
A chamberlain immediately brought two piles of bamboo slips to Zhang Han, and at the same time, another chamberlain Send the bamboo slips brought by Zhang Han to Ying Zheng.
There are two piles of bamboo slips, one of which records the words of the old Qin people in Guanzhong, and the other pile contains the records of the discussions that Ying Zheng and his ministers just discussed.
