Daqin: Assist Zulong at the beginning and become a public enemy

Chapter 400

Chapter 402

Seeing that the ministers of the Great Qin Dynasty, who were a little agitated because of his abolition of slavery, quieted down again, Ying Zheng's smile gradually faded.Things are much more difficult than I imagined, but now that the abolition of slavery is on the line, I have to do it in advance.

This matter was not a whim of Yingzheng, but a reminder from Yinggang who was far away in Luoyang.

Originally, Ying Gang wanted to wait until the restoration rebellion of the six kingdoms survivors was completely resolved before abolition, but after experiencing the Central Plains War, he understood a truth.

The interior of Qin State is not as united as I imagined.

To fight against the outside world, we must first secure the inside. Since we want to go east again, we must completely smash the seemingly peaceful environment.

And this breakthrough is the abolition of private slaves and the registration of all the population.

"My Great Qin is now waiting to be revived, and there are still six countries in Shandong outside the pass. Fortunately, the strength of the countries is now damaged and they are unable to fight against my Great Qin. The hinterland of the Central Plains and all parts of Shandong have returned to peace. I want to abolish slavery. Not from The purpose of robbing the private slaves from your lovers is to allow my Great Qin to have enough manpower to recuperate, and to accumulate strength so that after the world is pacified, I have enough strength to deal with the Huns who are about to go south."

Everyone fell silent.

The Huns in the north were out of control and became stronger and stronger, and now they have become a huge trouble.

Throughout the Great Qin, after years of chaotic wars.The people's livelihood is dying, and the population is not prosperous. If there is another natural disaster, I am afraid that chaos will be born thousands of miles away.At this moment, countless lands across the Central Plains need people to cultivate, and Daqin needs enough people to rectify this desolate and fertile soil of China.

Yingzheng said again: "But now that the people of Daqin are already registered, each family can only cultivate those lands. The remaining large amount of land is barren. Who should cultivate it? Do you think this is a private slave among a wealthy family?"

He had considered the abolition of slavery for too long.

I also know that the abolition of slaves basically involves all aspects of Daqin.Once the abolition of slaves is mentioned, it basically means that the emperor is digging up the ancestral graves of all the powerful and wealthy people in Daqin today.

However, now he had to bring up the issue of abolition and had to do it.

It's just that this matter has been brought forward a lot.

There are now two situations in the hinterland of Qin.

On the one hand, countless people entered Guanzhong, and on the other hand, there was not much arable land in Guanzhong of Qin State.

This time, Yingzheng inspected various places in Guanzhong, and he saw too many fertile lands that had been turned into wasteland and overgrown with weeds because no one cultivated them.

It is not that Daqin has no land, but that there is no one to cultivate it.

What the people lack is not land, but an environment that allows them to cultivate and recuperate with peace of mind.

The state of Qin can encourage the people to reclaim wasteland, but for those powerful families, such a move is just to boost their strength.

It won't be long before these wastelands will be slowly annexed by them.

Now, with great difficulty, the entire Central Plains has been peaceful.Yingzheng thought about it, and the only thing he could think of was the tens of thousands of aristocratic families in Guanzhong, wealthy households, and the countless private slaves in the palaces of many ministers in the court.

Only by including all these populations in the national register and being ruled by the state can many hidden dangers be eliminated and the country's taxes can be increased.

The hall fell into silence again.

None of the people present were fools.It's not stunned, it's impossible for the emperor to dig up his ancestral grave because of his heartfelt words.

Private slaves are related to the vital interests of every noble and aristocratic family.

Once agreed, everyone's worth will immediately shrink by more than half!

At that time, who will make up for his losses?Find the emperor to make up?It would be better to find a knife and wipe off his own neck.

All the officials did not speak, and the atmosphere in the hall was extremely dull.

Li Si was about to stand up and speak.

"Today's abolition of slavery, all my loves, you should think about it and discuss it tomorrow!" Seeing his movements, Ying Zheng hurriedly said before Li Si.

His purpose is very simple, today is just to say hello to these one of the most important ministers in Daqin, that is, to give a vaccination.Said that he was going to do something about the abolition of slavery.

After letting the wind out, he believes that tomorrow the whole of Xianyang will know what he said today. At that time, which side should be on and which side should not be, and all the officials in the court will have a thought in their hearts.

The real compromises and contests must be done in private.

He hadn't thought about discussing the matter of abolition of slavery in this political hall today. In that case, he would think too highly of himself and too underestimate the abilities of the various ministers in the court.

Compared with this matter involving the interests of everyone, if they are asked to give an answer all at once, I am afraid that Daqin will be divided.

He could wipe out all these people in one fell swoop, but what about after they were wiped out?So what?So, take your time, everyone.

Yingzheng's goal is simple.

In the first step, the strategy is considered successful as long as more than half of the people make concessions and hand over their mouths.

Let's take a look at how to go in the future.

Hearing that the emperor did not intend to come up with a result on the abolition of slaves today, all the officials in the hall including Li Si couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief.As long as there is no need to negotiate a result today, there is room for change in everything.

The dull atmosphere in the main hall suddenly became calm because of Ying Zheng's words.

"For the abolition of slavery, you dear ministers should think about it after you go down! It's for Daqin's plan, for my plan!" Hu Hai said in a deep voice.

"I will obey your orders!"

This time the voice of responding to orders will be much louder and more orderly.

"That's great! Now let's talk about the second thing, how is the land survey in Guanzhong? Zheng Aiqing?" Ying Zheng fixed his eyes on Zheng Guo.

"Return to Your Majesty, all the land in Guanzhong has been surveyed!" Zheng Guo got up and bowed to Ying Zheng.

As soon as these words came out, everyone's hearts were raised again.

Ying Zheng is really killing everyone.

If there is no measurement, everyone can also falsely report some figures, and maybe get away with it.

But now that the specific figures have been measured, it may not be easy to fool them.

At that time, Yingzheng will inevitably tie the population and land together.

It is more and more difficult for them to hold on to their land and population.

"Well, let's stop the land surveying for now. Please prepare a detailed letter and submit it to me tomorrow!"

"The minister obeys the order."

After Yingzheng asked Zheng Guo, he lost interest in continuing. He looked around at everyone and said, "Today's court meeting is over, I am tired. However, now that the epidemic situation in Guanzhong is over, you should do your own thing." As soon as possible, make up for the farming in various parts of Guanzhong, it is not too late, and we can still catch up with the autumn planting."

"According to the order."
