The Jagged Empire of Daqin

"Your Majesty is right!"

"A strong country is my great wish."

Minister Wu talked a lot, making the court room noisy.

"Silence!" Prime Minister You Jiu shouted coldly!

The ministers who were discussing all closed their mouths and looked at He Jiu, only to see He Jiu facing Lu Jia on the high platform with a solemn expression and said: "Dare to ask your majesty how to reform, if you can strengthen Da Lu, you will be killed even if you are close to death." No regrets!"

"Your Majesty, please tell me how to reform the law. As long as Dalu can be strengthened, I will do my best and die!" Zuo Prime Minister Chen Ming said with a rather excited expression.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, tell me!"

Many ministers couldn't help urging them, and they wanted to hear how Lu Jia would reform.

Because Dalu has always been a well-regulated dynasty, and his strength is not high or low, many ministers hope that Dalu can become stronger, even if he becomes stronger once, but God fails, Dalu has never been strong!

But now, after listening to Lu Jia's words, Man Chaowu suddenly saw the hope of a strong country!

Seeing that the Wudu of the Manchu Dynasty had an obsession with a strong country, Lu Jia was very pleased, and immediately said: "I want to learn from the Qin system, implement the military merit system in the army, encourage soldiers to train hard, fight the enemy bravely, and implement the tenth class among the people. The system of peasant nobility encourages the people to reclaim wasteland and raises the national grain tax!"

When the ministers heard this, the blood of the powerful country could not help but diminish.

The military merit system can affect the interests of the left-wing party in the army, how can it affect the law?

First of all, let’s talk about the current Lu army system. The Lu army system is a very old military system. There is only one way for ordinary soldiers to be promoted. However, as soon as that kind of person shows his ability, he will be appreciated by his superiors and promoted.

Therefore, if it is not a particularly outstanding general, it will take seven or eight years for an ordinary soldier to become a corps leader. This system makes soldiers have no interest in killing the enemy, and joining the army is purely for a living.

This kind of system also gives some people who are interested in taking advantage of the opportunity. All the positions in the army are given to their cronies, so as to control the entire army. reason.

And the left-wing party is like this, half of the army in Dalu is in the hands of the left-wing party.

If the military merit system is implemented in the army, then the left-wing party will not be able to intervene in the promotion of soldiers, and who will the soldiers be loyal to after they are promoted?Naturally, they are loyal to the imperial court, because they are promoted through the military merit system, which is implemented by the imperial court, and the imperial court belongs to the emperor. They are promoted relative to the emperor, so as to be loyal to the emperor.

Losing the right to promotion will reduce the power of the left-wing party in the army. Therefore, the left-wing party is naturally unwilling to implement the military merit system.

There is also the tenth-class peasant nobility system, which has a much greater impact than the military merit system, and it can affect the entire big Lu dignitaries!

What do the rich and powerful live on?Imperial salary?Shit, how much is the royal salary, a large family with hundreds of people, that little salary can't support them at all, it all depends on the land acquired through mergers, and these lands are too much to be planted by one's own people, so you can only ask The people came to work as small households, farming and harvesting crops for them.

And the common people who are willing to be small households for the powerful are poor people without land, and they have to work for the powerful.

However, if the tenth-class peasant noble system is implemented, the common people can reclaim wasteland and harvest it for themselves. When the common people have their own good land, they will not work for the powerful. Without these common people, the land of the powerful and powerful will be abandoned. I really want to eat dirt.

It can be said that the tenth-class peasant noble system is a national policy that destroys the foundation of the powerful. It is precisely because of this national policy that when the countries were attacked by the Qin army, few aristocratic families voluntarily surrendered, and they were beaten and unable to surrender.

From the excitement at the beginning to the silence now, Minister Wu only took three breaths in the process, and the attitude towards the reform has undergone an astonishing change in the three breaths.

When Lu Jia saw that Minister Wu was silent, the feeling of relief that had just arisen in his heart disappeared immediately.

He finally saw clearly that this group of ministers did have the obsession to strengthen the country, but they also had the obsession to protect their own interests. The two obsessions collide, but the latter cannot be touched.

Reform is difficult!

However, the more difficult the task, the more he has to do it!

Let the people of the world see that Da Lu does not lose to the Qin Dynasty, and what the Qin Dynasty can do, Da Lu can also do!

"I know what you're thinking. It's nothing more than worrying about losing your interests, and you don't want to sacrifice your own interests to complete the dynasty. I can understand this. After all, no one wants to lose their own things, but think about it!"

"Dalu doesn't change its laws, can it resist the tiger and wolf Qin? When the Qin army destroys our Dalu, can you keep your own interests from being damaged?"

PS: "I'm asking for recommendation tickets, asking for monthly tickets, asking for rewards, asking for full reservations, and asking for four daily requests. I hope you will support me a lot!"

Chapter 1000 Tang Shao also wants to reform!

"To put it bluntly, once the Great Lu is destroyed, you will no longer be princes and nobles, but just a few ordinary people of the Qin Dynasty. The policies implemented by the Qin Dynasty can also use up your heritage accumulated for generations!" Lu Jia said for the audience. The ministers analyzed the pros and cons, with a tone of hatred for iron and steel.

All the officials were silent, and all fell into deep thought.

Lu Jia was not in a hurry, and quietly waited for the response from the officials.

He believed that with the external oppression of the Qin Dynasty, it would definitely be able to squeeze the interior of Dalu into a ball, and this is the time for reform!

There is no decisive strategy in the world, only the right time, place and people are needed!

There are great Lus with good weather, great Lus with favorable lands, and great Lus with people and harmony.

The Qin Dynasty wanted to wipe out all the countries in the world, and Dalu was threatened. This is the right time.

Dalu is located in the middle of Kyushu, far away from the Qin Dynasty, which is a favorable location.

Da Lu has his Lu Jia to support the reform, this is the harmony of people!

With the right time, place and people, there is no reason that it will not succeed!

"I support His Majesty's reform, strengthen Dalu, and resist the tyranny of Qin!"

"I also support His Majesty's reform."

"My minister agrees!"

After thinking for a long time, all the officials finally made decisions one after another, and all supported the reform to strengthen the country.

A smile finally appeared on Lu Jia's face, "Da Lu's reform will definitely inspire people's hearts, pass on my will, and immediately announce it to the world. !"

"Your Majesty is holy! Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" All the officials bowed down and saluted with a serious smile!

From now on, the Great Lu Dynasty officially reformed!

A new and powerful Dalu Dynasty is about to stand in front of the world.

Time passed slowly, and the days passed day by day. With the passage of time, the Great Lu Dynasty finally implemented the policy of reform in the eight counties of the country. Rushing to reclaim wasteland day and night.

The generals of the Lu army learned that the imperial court implemented the military merit system, their morale increased greatly, and they worked hard in training.

Flash forward a month!

December 28th, [-]th year of Shengqin!

Chen Shi!

Great Wei Dynasty, Zhongtian Imperial Capital, Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room!

"Your Majesty, this year our Great Wei's fiscal revenue has reached 800 million taels of silver and 230 million shi of grain, which is an increase compared to last year!"

In the imperial study room, Emperor Wei Gong of the Great Wei Dynasty was sitting on a dragon chair having a meal. In front of him stood the old prime minister Tang Shao. Tang Shao was reporting the financial situation of the Great Wei Dynasty this year for the Wei Palace.

Two years have passed since the Great Wei unified the north and the south. In two years, the population of the Great Wei has increased from 300 million to 320 million, and the fertile land has increased from 200 million mu to [-] million mu.

Compared with before the reunification, the national strength of Great Wei has somewhat recovered, but compared to the peak, the current national strength of Great Wei is not enough at all, it can only be regarded as the national strength of a third-rate dynasty, and even if the national strength has recovered, the people of Wei still have enough to eat Not a warm day.

Because Wei's grain tax is very high, a full [-]%, which is only [-]% lower than when Wei Shang was in power.

Because the grain tax was too high, ordinary people could not support themselves by farming. Many ordinary people would rather work for the rich and powerful than farm. The annual increase in the number of good fields in the Great Wei Liangtian was all owned by the rich and powerful, and not a single acre belonged to the common people.

Great Wei has entered a period of serious land annexation.

And this problem is also a headache for Tang Shao and Wei Gong.

After hearing Tang Shao's report, Wei Gong couldn't help but put down the silver chopsticks in his hand, and suddenly lost his appetite for food.

"Your Majesty, according to the current recuperation policy, it may take ten years to take initial effect, and during these ten years, my Great Wei cannot be disturbed by any outside world, otherwise all previous efforts will be in vain!" Tang Shao wrote in a worried salute road.

Wei Gong looked up at Tang Shao who was frowning, and asked, "What does the prime minister mean, that you want to change the strategy of self-cultivation?"

Tang Shao nodded, "That's right, now the Qin Dynasty has conquered the three dynasties of Zhao, Xia, and Qi, and Shu and Han are also in danger. With the current speed of the Qin Dynasty, the Qin army will definitely be able to attack the Great Wei Dynasty within ten years." Territory, if we, Great Wei, don't restore our national strength before the Qin Dynasty conquers Wei, I'm afraid we won't be able to withstand the Qin army's attack at all!"

"Ah!" Wei Gong sighed heavily, and said with a sad tone: "What the prime minister said has reached my heart. I also want to restore the national strength quickly, but I don't know what strategy to use to restore the national strength!"

"I have something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not!" Tang Shao said aloud.

Wei Gong smiled wryly and said: "Your Excellency, if you have something to say, just say it, and there is anything else that should be said or should not be said."

"The minister just said it!" Tang Shao's expression gradually became serious.

Seeing Tang Shao's seriousness, Wei Gong also spontaneously felt solemn, and only heard Tang Shao's serious expression: "The Qin in the past was almost subjugated, and the Qin at that time was much worse than my Great Wei, but Qin only used Years to recover and rise!"

"It's not luck that Qin is strong. It is closely related to the policies implemented by Qin. In recent days, I have been studying Qin's national policy and found that Qin's national policy can also be used for my great Wei!"

When Wei Gong heard these words, he immediately understood Tang Shao's meaning, "What does the prime minister mean, that our Great Wei implements the national policy of the Qin Dynasty?"

"Yes!" Tang Shao nodded in response.

Wei Gong looked a little displeased and said: "My Great Wei is a great country, the former overlord of Kyushu, if we apply the national policy of the Qin Dynasty, wouldn't it be a joke? At that time, all the countries will say that I am not intelligent. A better national policy for the Qin Dynasty!"

"Your Majesty, besides a large piece of wasteland, our Great Wei now wants nothing else. How can we talk about the theory of a great country, and the title of the overlord of the Kyushu is also in the past. Moreover, the military merit system currently implemented by the Qin Dynasty is not based on the military merits of our Great Wei. Was it reformed? But I have never heard anyone say that the Qin Dynasty has no intelligent people." Tang Shao was speechless and helpless.

Hearing the second half of Tang Shao's words, Wei Gong felt much better.

Yes, didn't the Qin Dynasty also apply the military merit system of the Great Wei?It doesn't matter if my Great Wei applies the national policies of the Qin Dynasty, it's not a matter of indecent behavior!

"The prime minister is right!" Wei Gong showed a smile, then his expression changed, and he asked solemnly: "Prime Minister is planning to apply the national policy of the Qin Dynasty?"

"The system of tenth-class peasants and the policy of encouraging births used before the rise of the Qin Dynasty!" Tang Shao replied without thinking.

Wei Gong frowned, and said with a dignified expression: "The tenth-class peasant noble system is indeed conducive to the development and recovery of the country, but the question is, will those powerful and powerful people agree? There is also a policy of encouraging births, which is also a good way to restore the population. policy, but it is very costly, and I, Da Wei, cannot afford it!"

ps: "Total War is so difficult to write, I regret it a bit, the scene is too big, the author can't control his writing power, but this is also an opportunity to break his writing power, the author will try his best to write well!"

Chapter 1001 Borrow money from Kyushu Bank!

"And as far as I know, the Qin Dynasty did not implement the policy of encouraging births throughout the country, but only implemented it in the places with the smallest population, so the Qin Dynasty's finances can support it. If we want to implement it in the Great Wei, we must implement it in one county. Nationwide implementation!"

Tang Shao quickly corrected and said: "Your Majesty, the reason why the Qin Dynasty was not implemented in the whole territory is because Qin captured a large number of Jin women during the war with the Huns, and the population of Qin men increased, and my Great Wei did not have this. Opportunity, the only way to restore national strength as soon as possible is to implement a policy of encouraging births throughout the country!"

"The prime minister is right, and I won't refute it. The prime minister will tell me how to solve the problem of opposition from the rich and powerful and the financial problem. If these two problems are not resolved, what you and I said today is nothing but nonsense!" Wei Gong said Said expressionlessly.

"It's not difficult for the rich and powerful!" Tang Shao replied aloud.

"Why is it not difficult?" Wei Gong asked.

"Most of the civil and military officials in the current court are meritorious ministers who followed His Majesty to fight against violence. They watched Wei fall from the altar, so they all have a heart to revive the dynasty. With this heart, the minister can persuade them!"

"As long as Chaowu supports His Majesty, those dignitaries from all over the world will not be able to make a big storm, and can only smash their teeth and swallow it in their throats!" Tang Shao explained.

After hearing these words, Wei Gong couldn't help but fell into deep thought, wondering whether Tang Shao's words made sense, after a while of contemplation, he felt that there was some truth in them, and immediately asked: "What about the financial issue?"

"Borrow!" Tang Shao only said one word.

"Borrow?" Wei Gong was taken aback for a moment, and asked in a very puzzled tone: "Borrow from whom? How do you borrow it? Prime Minister, please don't tell me to borrow from the Qin Dynasty. Our Great Wei still owes the Qin Dynasty more than 3000 million taels of silver." Woolen cloth!"

Speaking of borrowing, Wei Gong immediately thought that he still owed the Qin Dynasty 3000 million taels of silver.

If it was during the peak period of Great Wei, he would be able to pay back after a year of frugality, but now that Great Wei is poor, it can be said that he can spend as much as he has in a year's finances, and he doesn't have a tael of silver left over.

"Of course it's not borrowing money from the Qin Dynasty. The Qin Dynasty wants us to have problems now, so how could it be possible to return the loan to us!" Tang Shao said with a sneer.

"Then who to borrow it from? The dignitaries?" Wei Gong was even more puzzled.

"It's good enough that the dignitaries don't object to the implementation of the tenth-class peasant noble system, so why would they lend us money!"

Hearing this answer, Wei Gong frowned, and he was puzzled and said impatiently: "It's not borrowed from the Qin Dynasty, nor from the dignitaries, so who should I borrow it from? Lu? Qing? Shen? Or Chu?" ? Hey, prime minister, don’t be a fool, who is he borrowing from!”

Seeing Wei Gong's repeated questions, Tang Shao couldn't laugh or cry, and then bowed down and saluted and said: "Your Majesty, borrow from the Kyushu Bank!"

"Jiuzhou Bank?" Wei Gong raised his voice, his tone full of surprise.

He never imagined that Tang Shao would want to borrow money from the Kyushu Bank. How did he have such a brain? He would think of this. He deserves to be the No. 1 Prime Minister of Kyushu.

"That's right, borrow money from the Kyushu bank!" Tang Shao nodded affirmatively, and continued to add: "The Kyushu bank is spread all over the Kyushu countries, and its financial resources are well-deserved. Therefore, it is the best choice to borrow money from the Kyushu bank. money security!"

"Will the Kyushu Bank lend money? I haven't heard that the Kyushu Bank has ever lent money to a certain country. After all, the Kyushu Bank has never cared about the affairs of the world, and only wants to open a bank to make money!" Wei Gong felt that it was unreliable to borrow money from the Kyushu Bank. .

The reason for their unreliability is very simple. The Kyushu Bank has always claimed not to participate in any national affairs, and the Kyushu Bank has also done it, and it has indeed not participated in the affairs of the world.

Tang Shao smiled disapprovingly and said: "Your Majesty, you don't know. In the past, all the countries joined forces to attack Qin, and when the monarchs of the countries were having a banquet in the Wuending Kingdom, someone once wanted to give the countries a large amount of wealth. A large amount of money and food was found in a cave!"

"Although the monarchs of the countries never mentioned this, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and they still revealed it. However, no one knows who gave the wealth to the countries, and neither did the monarchs of the countries, but it is not difficult to guess. Only the Kyushu Bank is the one with the ability and strength!"

"What else?" Wei Gong was surprised.

"I just learned about this and proposed to borrow money from the Kyushu Bank!" Tang Shao said.

Wei Gong showed a smile on his face, and said with a smile in his tone: "The Nine Provinces Bank aids the money and food of other countries, which means that the Nine Provinces Bank does not want to see the Qin Dynasty unify, or in other words, does not want to see any country unify Kyushu, which will have a negative impact on the Nine Provinces Bank. unfavorable!"

"Now that the alliance of all countries has failed, the Kyushu bank is nothing, and even the Kyushu bank is thinking of other ways to resist the unification of the Qin Dynasty. At this time, my Great Wei borrows money from him, and it is likely to be possible!"

Tang Shao leaned over and saluted with a smile on his face, "Your Majesty is wise, this is exactly what I mean!"

"The question is, how to borrow it?" Wei Gong stared at Tang Shao without blinking.
