National Luck: Angry Qin Shihuang at the beginning

"Yizhi, I have two answers to your question. First, why should the taxes paid by the people of our alliance be given to Daqin?

Second, have you ever thought about whether Daqin could really be saved with only these money and food? "

Fang Yizhi is young after all, and may not have a deep understanding of economic or political issues, Zhou Haoyu can only take it step by step.

"There is a famine in the world, you were originally my people of Daqin who were exiled overseas, and now Daqin is in trouble, isn't it a good time for you to return to Zhengshuo?
Besides, isn't your alliance also a vassal of the Great Qin Dynasty, if the suzerain is in trouble, shouldn't the vassals help each other wholeheartedly?

Daqin is in dire need of money and food right now. As long as we have money and food, our Daqin people will have millions of people, and we can train a few strong troops. Isn't it just a matter of days to stop the northern captivity and exile thieves? "

Fang Yizhi discovered the superficial reason for Daqin's weakness, but how can Daqin be saved only by money and food?

"Yizhi, do you think Daqin can still train a strong team?"

"As long as you have money and food, why not?"

Confucian scholars in Daqin often selectively forget. They only said that the court was short of money, thinking that they only needed to get money, but they didn’t care why they were short of money.

It's not that they don't know the real reason, but that they are in the vested interest group and they have selectively forgotten, and they have stifled this kind of thinking deep in their consciousness.

"One layer of money and food is deducted from the household department, another layer is deducted from the military department, another layer is deducted from the governor's office, the local government is also deducted, and the general is also deducted. How much money can withstand such layers of skinning?

After peeling off so many layers of skin, how much can the soldiers get, and whether they can still support their families. Why do they have the courage to fight if they can't afford it?

This is still a matter for the soldiers, what about the armor and equipment?The money and food allocated by the court cannot support the family in the hands of craftsmen, so what will happen to the armor made by the craftsmen?

Yizhi, how much money do you think such a bottomless pit needs to be enough, how can such a deduction be practiced repeatedly? "

Zhou Haoyu has answered these questions no less than a hundred times, and every time he answers, he is actually answering himself.

"It is said that His Majesty has the ambition of rejuvenation, and is diligent in governing and loving the people. As long as the monarch and his subjects work together, these ills will be eradicated. Why can't Daqin be saved?"

Fang Yizhi was very unhappy when he heard Zhou Haoyu's words, because what Zhou Haoyu meant was that Daqin could not be saved.

"Then why doesn't your family pay grain and tax? Why are the gentry all over the world unwilling to pay grain and tax? Your family owns a lot of land. As long as you pay the grain tax, why is the Great Qin court so embarrassed?"

"But Yourong gentry is the ancestor system of the Taizu. The people of the world rely on gentry to help the king to educate. Isn't it right to have a little bit of Yourong?"

The common people are dull, and they have to rely on scholars to tell them the truth and teach them the rules. This is the ultimate principle formed after the sole respect of Confucianism. Fang Yizhi said it without any hesitation.

"Let's not talk about whether the common people want you to educate us, but when it comes to asking the gentry to pay taxes, you can tell the truth.

You have also read Zulong's sinful edict a while ago..."

"Brother Zhou Haoyu, please be taboo!"

Hearing the word Zulong, Fang Yizhi jumped up from his chair, and saluted Zhou Haoyu sternly, with the intention of breaking up the relationship if he said that again.

"I don't mind having to make friends with you. Your taboos don't exist in our alliance. What's the use of using names if you can't call them?"

Zhou Haoyu is only 26 years old, and he grew up with Zhu Tao, so he has no intention of befriending anyone for a long time.

Besides, according to Daqin's etiquette system, the friendship between him and Fang Yizhi in the same generation is regarded as a friendship.

"Whether a person can be respected by us depends on what he has done, not what position he is in, let alone the position he inherited from his father and grandfather?

If you can accept it, I will continue to talk, if not, then forget it, we will continue the class another day, and there is no need to discuss these things in the future. "

Fang Yizhi was stunned, Zhou Haoyu's words had too much impact on him.

The Fang family in Tongcheng is well-known in Da Qin. As the direct son of the Fang family, no matter where he is, even if he disagrees with the Fang family, he will not say such harsh words on the surface.

I don't care if I make friends with him or not, but what should be said and what should be done should be done. The lesson is mentioned, but I won't talk about current problems!
"Okay, brother Zhou Haoyu, please continue, I want to hear your opinion!"

21 years old, just the age of passion and impulsiveness, Fang Yizhi blushed and endured it.

"Your emperor kept saying that he was wrong, but he didn't say where he was wrong, it was just because he lost his morals so much that he sinned against the world and caused a catastrophe.

I hope that the people will survive for a few more years, but regardless of whether the people can't survive it, is this admitting a mistake or fooling people? "

Although he didn't shy away from it, Fang Yizhi bowed his head to Zhou Haoyu, but it wouldn't be too much.

"However, the catastrophe in the world is indeed a fact, and you have encountered captives and bandits from the east, and the court is in trouble, but your majesty puts the blame on himself. Isn't this a big deal?"

This set of tricks to fool the common people is plausible. In fact, it doesn’t matter whether the common people believe it or not.

"Yizhi, the emperor is the head of the country. What you need is not only to admit your mistakes, but also to come up with solutions. What methods did your emperor and ministers come up with to improve the current situation?
Extra pie!But can the common people still bear the extra dispatch? If they can’t survive, they just have to rise up?

If this kind of fooling stuff is useful, I'm afraid your emperor would like to post one in an hour? "

"Then there is no way?"

"Yes, but you can't do it. Officials and gentry pay food and taxes together, can you do it? Maybe your family can, but it's only your family. Maybe your uncle and aunt's family don't agree!

It’s okay to pay food and taxes as a whole, and these families can also earn a lot of money and food, but who of them is willing to pay, and who dares to ask them to pay food and taxes? "

Needless to say, the reform of the bureaucracy, Fang Yizhi couldn't pick up the topic, and stood in Zhou Haoyu's cabin blankly, unable to say a word.

"Yizhi, go back and think about it carefully, saving Daqin is not a matter of willingness, but how to save it?
If you can think of a good way, maybe we are willing to help you, but now what do you think we should do? "

Fang Yizhi left in a daze.

On the pier in Lushun, Zhou Haoyu saw Zhu Tao and Dong Xian from a distance in the telescope.

The young man Fang Yizhi was hiding in the cabin at this time, Zhou Haoyu's words hit him too hard, he had hardly been out of the cabin in the past few days, and he didn't even respond to someone notifying him that he was docking.

To the alliance, he was just an insignificant young man, and if he didn't respond to his call, everyone would naturally ignore him.

Zhou Haoyu can't remember how many years he hasn't seen Dong Xian?But I still remember the scene of the three of them running and exercising together on the small road in Jiangkou Town in the early morning.
