Chapter 62
As we all know, today's Great Qin is slightly inferior in terms of military weapons, but the rest of the culture, politics, and economy can be said to be the big brother. It is basically superior to all countries west of Hongzhou, and the Tang Dynasty is still in the advanced stage.
The status, economy, culture and politics of Da Qin were partly determined through discussions with Li Shimin, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and others.
In terms of culture, Li Shimin sent Du Fu, Li He, Chen Ziang and others to the capital of Great Qin to spread poetry, and Ying Zheng also hoped that the people of Great Qin could also learn these poems. After all, they should keep up with the times and stay in the country for a long time.
If you stop moving forward in one position, wouldn't you still end up being beaten by a group of people?
"Shang Yang, let me talk about the content of this reform for everyone." Ying Zheng asked Shang Yang to formulate the content of the reform again this time. Based on the current situation and dynamics of the country, where should the development of Da Qin go?
His Highness, Shang Yang, stood in the center of the hall. Prime Minister Li Si admired Shang Yang very much, so he was willing to be a green leaf and make concessions for Shang Yang. The Qin State was able to reach this point because of Shang Yang's reforms that made the Qin State truly powerful.
, so it is appropriate to make concessions for Shang Yang.
"This reform includes the first change of the "Qin Law", the second change of the military system, the third change of the economy, the fourth change of politics, and the fifth change of culture." Shang Yang's purpose is very clear. This reform must keep up with the times. Now their Qin State
There are very few policies that are beneficial to them, so they have carried out detailed integration and reforms for each country today.
After Sima Rui released the video of the war between the Yuan and Qing Dynasties and the Ming Dynasty, Ying Zheng also had the latest understanding of this war, and the Ming army's artillery really shocked Ying Zheng. The Qin State could no longer do whatever it wanted, and must target their countries.
Carry out an intensive reform.
As for the first point mentioned by Shang Yang, changing the "Laws of Qin", this one is beyond everyone's expectation. After many years of precipitation, the "Laws of Qin" has become a tool for everyone to control the country. If it is changed, it may cause some
In response, it is more likely that Shang Yang will make the same mistake again and touch the interests of some people again.
Furthermore, the "Qin Code" has harsh laws and mostly severe punishments. After Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty abolished harsh punishments, various dynasties also followed this practice, relaxing the punishment standards for prisoners, and completely abolishing some cruel punishments. The "Qin Code"
The modification is also to adapt to the current era.
"Change the Qin Code? Are you kidding me?" Wei Liao stepped forward and asked.
"This revision of the "Qin Code" is, firstly, to adapt the Qin Dynasty to the times, and secondly, the people's livelihood is trapped by the harsh punishments and laws of the "Qin Code". Why did the Qin Dynasty only exist for a few decades in the long history of the "Qin Code"
"The punishments are too harsh, so they must be changed!" Shang Yang told everyone all the shortcomings of "Qin Code". Ying Zheng also nodded to Shang Yang's words. To be honest, these matters must be left to professionals.
It's up to people to do it. After all, "Shang Jun Shu" was later changed to "Qin Code". He still knows how to adapt to these principles.
"We will follow Lord Shang's opinion." On the side, Taiwei Yingji stepped forward and bowed.
"You guys, if you are like this, I will feel at ease. Lord Shang doesn't have to worry about the reform. I'm here to do it boldly!" Ying Zheng stood up and patted Shang Yang on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"I thank you, Your Majesty." Shang Yang's relationship with Ying Quliang and his ministers was as good as brothers. What kind of sparks will he create with Ying Zhenghui today?
Then, Shang Yang turned around and continued to talk about economic issues. Now the Qin Dynasty has occupied the fourth place in the economic rankings of all the countries in the world. The first is the Song Dynasty, the second is the Ming Dynasty, the third is the Tang Dynasty, and the fourth is Qin. The Tang Dynasty
The economy of Qin was very developed, and Qin's economy was also driven by the Tang Dynasty, so Qin wanted to use this power to improve its economic strength again. With the economy, his words would be half as powerful, and if he strengthened the military field, then there would be
A certain amount of force was used to direct these emperors to fight here and there.
"For the economy of the Qin Dynasty, Shang Yang made a plan for this. The Tang Dynasty adopted the city system and established the east and west cities. It had an absolute grasp of time and space. However, we in Da Qin initially implemented it and removed the dross. The city system was beneficial and beneficial.
Disadvantages, the advantage is that the market is open. The disadvantage is that only the east and west markets can be bought and sold, and time is strictly controlled. Therefore, regarding the economy, we must imitate the Song Dynasty, but we must not imitate it completely. I propose to establish mutual markets to open markets and conduct commodity trade with various countries.
, the capital set up a market opening system for testing, and a special security team was responsible for the jurisdiction of the market area, so that trade could be carried out in the morning and evening, and a city department was set up to specifically manage the economic security issues of the capital's market." Shang Yang made the market system of Qin a
Detailed reforms followed the advantageous aspects of the Song and Tang Dynasties and opened the Qin market to the outside world.
Everyone nodded and thought it was feasible, but some people disagreed. After taking a closer look, it turned out that the Grand Master Qianlong was unwilling. The current position of Grand Master was just a false position. It was given to Qianlong to provide for him in his old age. Unexpectedly, he would still be able to change the plan.
Want to do something exciting.
Ying Zheng was puzzled. Could it be possible that Qianlong wanted to repeat the same mistakes and strongly opposed Shang Yang's reforms?
"What does the Grand Master want?" Ying Zheng asked with some confusion.
"Shang Jun's policy is tantamount to shaking the long-term economic foundation of our country. What will happen if we make mistakes in doing so?" Qianlong did not mention what happened that year, but this time he mentioned his opposition to reforms. In short, Shang Yang
If I don't agree with what you're doing, just stop talking.
"Come here, take the Grand Master home and find a good doctor to treat his brain." Ying Zheng directly ordered people to take him down. He finally understood why King Huiwen had to "take good care" of him back then.
Qian Long.
Qianlong was an extremely conservative person. He just thought about the issue of ancestral system and did not know how to adapt. The only way to solve his stubborn problem was to let him work at home instead of messing around in the court.
Immediately afterwards, Shang Yang gave an in-depth explanation on the economy. The ministers listened with great enthusiasm, as if their Qin Dynasty would soon be at the forefront of the world. However, they did not know that implementation would require their close cooperation to have a high probability of success.
"As for economic reform, we cannot hide our wealth in the country, and let go when we need to. To understand the ways of merchants, it is impossible to be absolutely sure. Only by taking a gamble can we have a chance to earn a lot of money, and let our great Qin Dynasty
Enrich it." Shang Yang recently read some people's reforms, and he is indeed right. If you should give up, let it go. Reforms that are not suitable for you will not be suitable after all.
"Okay, that's well said." Ying Zheng nodded, and the ministers echoed.
"Now our Qin State should form a united collective, let the people work and farm, and use a piece of meat pie as bait to guide the people to actively make money, and the taxes should also be lowered, and the grain and grass collection should also be reduced. From today on
, the salary of all officials will be reduced by 50%, the salary of soldiers will be reduced by 40%, and all salary money will be used for reform." Shang Yang told everyone what must be done in this reform, and he had no choice but to accept the reduction of salary by half.
Immediately afterwards, Shang Yang made a thorough analysis of military issues, and called all the military generals to the front to talk carefully to see what shortcomings there were compared with other countries' military strength. If there are shortcomings, make up for them and don't be arrogant.
