This first emperor is awesome

"Your Majesty has repaired the armored soldiers, commanded a great army, destroyed his country, and slaughtered his clan. Where are the princes now?"

"Ritual and music thrive in the prosperous age, and disputes stop at the armored soldiers."

Lian Chengwu obviously did not agree with his younger brother's words. He knew that his and his younger brother's destinies were different, so their ideas were also different.

"Brother"

Lian Cheng wanted to continue to argue, but was interrupted.

Lian Chengwu patted his younger brother on the shoulder, interrupted his words: "What I have done in my life is to open up and expand your own era for you."

"You have studied under the great Confucianism since you were a child, and you should concentrate on practicing the unparalleled knowledge of the sages. It may not take many years, and what you learn will surely shine."

"What Brother Wei can do to help you now is to remove all obstacles, lay a good foundation for you, and pave a bright road."

"Over the years, I have accumulated a lot of contacts for my brother, and I won't hand them all over to you in the future."

"Study hard, study hard first, build up your mind first, and educate people first with integrity."

Looking at his young brother, Lian Chengwu had a lot of meaning and said a lot of heartfelt words.

"elder brother"

Lian Cheng felt his nose a little sore, as if he had regained the familiar elder brother back then.

"Stupid boy, desperate to have a brother!"

"Next time, you are not allowed to take risks with Brother Wei. Honoring your parents at home is the greatest encouragement for Brother Wei."

"This time, I will take you out to open your eyes. You can only read dead books, and you can't realize any great truth."

"In the future! When the world is peaceful, the seas become clear, and you grow up, you can study abroad and cultivate generations of loyal and talented people for the empire."

Lian Chengwu smiled, then hummed a little song and walked towards the cabin.

It was only at this moment that Lian Cheng realized that his elder brother was burdened with too many things.

He is not only a businessman, he should also bear an unspeakable mission.

This mission is the supreme honor, enough to protect the prosperity of the future generations of the Lian family

Chapter 2 The Imperial New Deal Refutes the Ministers

Xianyang Palace, Pingtian Palace...

"Following the fate of the heavens, the emperor said, since I took the throne, for 36 years, I have worked hard and made great efforts to govern. I have inherited the legacy of the ancestors of the Great Qin Dynasty, and I have inherited the ambitions of all living beings in the world. Sweep Liuhe and unify the world."

"Hundreds of years of wars and strife, mountains and rivers shattered, all souls weeping blood. Fifty-six out of ten men in the world died on the battlefield, and seventy-eight out of ten of the world's food resources were consumed in the war. Monarchs and ministers were exhausted by God, generals were exhausted, Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen have all suffered from the war."

"My heart is very painful, and I am determined to promote the ten policies of the new policy, raising people in the fields, raising scholars in books, raising merchants in trade, and raising workers in workshops."

"One, encourage the subjects of the empire to open up wasteland to plant sweet potatoes, corn, peppers and other crops."

"Second, abolish more than a hundred kinds of various miscellaneous taxes. Each household of the imperial corvee will serve one month of corvee every year, which will be changed to ten days. The commercial tax will be one out of ten, and the agricultural tax will be changed to one in thirty."

"Third, for the circulation of goods in the Great Qin Empire, the local governments are not allowed to collect taxes, and the imperial tax department will collect them."

"Fourth, bookstores must be set up everywhere, and schools must be set up in every city and township in the Great Qin Empire. All citizens of the empire can go to school and receive the free education provided by the empire."

"Fifth, set up imperial banks in various places to promote the new imperial currency. One tael of gold can be exchanged for ten taels of silver, and one tael of silver can be exchanged for one thousand copper coins. Issuing imperial banknotes facilitates the circulation of commerce and trade. Ten taels of silver, one hundred taels of silver, and one thousand taels of silver , ten thousand taels of silver banknotes."

"Sixth, reorganize the military system. Ten people form a team, with a captain. A hundred people form a company, with a company commander. A thousand people form a regiment, with a regiment commander. Ten thousand people form an army, with a general."

"Seventh, from now on, the salaries of all imperial officials will be issued in equivalent currency."

"Eight, all citizens of the empire, males who are 12 years old or older must participate in military training organized by the local government."

"Ninth, all citizens of the empire who raise three or more children can receive a subsidy of no less than five hundred copper coins from the empire every year, and so on."

"Ten, completely abandon the old practice of recommending and inspecting officials. From then on, all the officials of the Great Qin Empire will mainly use the imperial examination to become an official."

"Emperor Qin Shihuang's decree is announced to the world, and the salty envoys will hear it."

After Lu Feng finished announcing the order of seal seals in one go, the faces of all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty changed drastically, and each of them looked as ugly as they wanted.

If all these new policies are implemented, will it not only be a loss of interests?It is simply digging up the roots of the ancestors!

Not surprisingly, the beneficiaries are all grassroots and untouchables, but they, the dignitaries, will all suffer.

In particular, their privileges will be greatly weakened, endangering the fundamentals!

Is His Majesty crazy?

This is to shake the country...

"Your Majesty, no! If the imperial temples are full of those untouchables, who will maintain the Great Qin Empire?"

"Your Majesty, the ancient system is completely abandoned, and some rootless weeds are used. The Empire State Building is in danger!"

"Your Majesty, how can the book of sages be reduced to vulgar things?"

"Your Majesty, for thousands of years, literature has been used to carry the Tao, and teachers and students have passed on. Students all seek famous teachers, and the whole country has passed them down. How come there are so many famous teachers?"

"Your Majesty, the tax is so low? How can the millions of soldiers in the empire survive? How can the tens of thousands of officials and nobles survive?"

"Your Majesty, the implementation of the new currency may be inappropriate. Once it causes economic turmoil in the empire, how will it end?"

"Your Majesty, if you do this, won't you chill the hearts of the heroes and generals of the Great Qin Empire? If so, who would dare to serve the Empire?"

For a time, the civil and military courts were full, and almost the vast majority of them spoke up and opposed the New Deal.

Only a very small number of grassroots officials who benefited from the imperial examination system remained silent and watched the changes.

Yingzheng was not surprised by this scene. Since ancient times, the implementation of new policies has not always been like this, and there are many obstacles.

He stood up slowly, and slowly walked down from the high platform.

Every step he took was very calm and powerful, and every time he passed a place, those civil servants and generals would all shut up, their hearts skipped a beat, and they lowered their heads silently.

Ying Zheng stood in the very center of the hall and looked around, no one could defeat him.

Looking at the silent ministers, Yingzheng said with a sharp expression: "The issuance of new coins is inevitable, and the national power of the Great Qin is booming. The old coins can no longer meet the business needs of the Great Qin Empire. Merchants barter, the old coins are not only large in quantity, but also heavy and heavy. Restricted the economic development of the empire."

"Writing is used to carry the Tao. Confucius had no more than 72 nominal disciples in his life, and [-] disciples in the house. Reading and learning rituals are not unique to the nobles. The poor people in the world can also do it. I will be a teacher of the world and teach the world."

"Imperial College has graduated batch after batch of outstanding children over the years. They are good enough to serve as teachers and cultivate the empire's generation after generation of talents."

"If anyone thinks that I am unfair and that the empire has hurt your heart, they will resign and return home. I believe that the Great Qin Empire will not lack you. How many people in this world are overwhelmed and want to step into the Zhangtai Palace."

Ying Zheng looked at all civil and military officials coldly, and everyone was speechless after what he said.

With my own prestige, as long as I deserve the hearts of the majority, there will be no chaos in this world.

As for the few whose interests have been harmed?

Don't be afraid of death and come as soon as possible!

Ying Zheng didn't worry about chaos in the empire at all. As long as the army was in hand, the Great Qin Empire would not be in chaos.

As long as these ten policies and new policies are implemented, the vast majority of people in the world who benefit will be grateful to themselves and love this country even more, so how can they rebel?

"Your Majesty, think twice!"

Someone wailed endlessly, knelt down, and shouted loudly.

Immediately, a series of ministers wailed, and then begged His Majesty to withdraw his order.

This new policy is to take them out. They are all vested interests. Most of the clan members are recommended by the old system to be officials. They are able to become officials because they benefit from the old system.

There are also some who are from aristocratic families. This new policy has seriously damaged the interests of the family, especially those from the scholarly family, which will kill them.

Of course, there are quite a few people who gloat over misfortune. They are all scholars from poor backgrounds. They are neither wealthy nor aristocratic. Although their interests are also damaged, it is irrelevant at all.

For them, as long as the official position is still there, there will undoubtedly be more opportunities to reshuffle the cards.

They naturally waited and watched the changes, the old god knelt and sat in place without moving.

Seeing that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty almost knelt down, Ying Zheng sneered in his heart when he wanted to get himself to cancel the New Deal.

The remaining half of the people, although they didn't kneel down, still had their own ghosts.

"Xiao He."

Ying Zheng cast his eyes on Xiao He who was kneeling in his original position, and called softly.

Xiao He suddenly felt that his scalp was a bit troublesome, but since His Majesty had already called the roll, he could only stand up bravely, bowed his hands to Ying Zheng and said, "The minister is here."

"You are the prime minister of Daqin, what do you think of these ten new policies? Is it inappropriate?"

Ying Zheng looked at Xiao He with cold eyes, and asked word by word.

Xiao He groaned endlessly in his heart, really he was afraid of something, objecting?

Chapter 2: There Is No First Emperor

Do you dare to object?

In the early years, His Majesty's Construction Academy has already begun to lay out for today's New Deal.

Even if everyone opposes it, it will be useless, because Imperial College has cultivated thousands of talents for Daqin every year.

In the early years, those nobles and heroes thought they had found a bargain.

Are you dumbfounded now?

How can His Majesty's cheapness be so easy to get?

Back then, in order to stabilize these meritorious nobles, His Majesty had no choice but to take second place and charge high tuition fees, cutting off the way for ordinary people in the world to study.

Nowadays, it is necessary to directly popularize knowledge for free, and the meritorious deeds of nobles and powerful families are all kicked away.

If they can remain indifferent, then there is a ghost.

"Your Majesty, I feel that the New Deal is beneficial to the empire and not harmful."

Xiao He knew that at this moment, the most important thing was not to make His Majesty doubt his loyalty, so he could only grit his teeth and fight it out.

Even if all the meritorious nobles are jealous of him, as long as His Majesty trusts him, then he, the prime minister, will be able to sit firmly.

"Your Majesty, the Bai family will always follow in His Majesty's footsteps. The Bai family has been loyal for generations and is the old family of Qin."

"If the new policy can make the national strength of the Great Qin go further, what's the point of sacrificing a little bit of self-interest?"

Nei Shi Baiteng also stood up and immediately expressed his opinion.

"Your Majesty, Montessori is also willing to support His Majesty's New Deal."

"His Majesty……"

For a while, those officials who were silent and watching the wind and steering the rudder, seeing the Bai family and the Meng family, the prime minister expressed his position, they couldn't sit still, and expressed their loyalty one after another.

The officials who knelt down and begged Ying Zheng to take back his orders were dumbfounded. Looking at this scene, they felt that the world was too crazy.

Are these guys all crazy?

Is the implementation of the New Deal good for your family?

It's just cheaper for those untouchables...

It's just that many clever officials soon came to their senses, stood up secretly, returned to their seats carefully, and then began to show their loyalty.

Are you kidding me?

The arms can't beat the thighs!

The benefits are gone, but there are still official positions and salaries, and you can also benefit your family!

If the benefits are gone and the officials are gone, then everything is really over!

None of them are idiots, so they naturally know which is more important.

It's not that they are willing to do so, but after weighing the pros and cons, they feel that they have no hope of reversing the general trend!

If His Majesty decides to carry out a new policy, and this new policy benefits only those poor people in the world, how can it be approved by the vast majority of people in the world, who can shake the foundation of the empire?

As for those soldiers, almost all of them came from the lower classes. If they knew that their children would be on the same starting line as the descendants of the nobles, they would be crazy, wouldn't they?

Now it is not the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, and the Qin State is not like the six kingdoms in Shandong. They are at the mercy of powerful clans. If the king compromises their interests, they can still resist and even overthrow the king.

Now that the Great Qin has ruled the world, the millions of soldiers in the empire only look forward to His Majesty, and His Majesty's prestige is as high as the sun, who dares to defeat his edge?

Isn't that boring and crooked?

"Then tell the world! Anyone who dares to violate the order will be exterminated and will not be forgiven."
