Daqin started with offering immortal medicine

At the beginning, those Confucian disciples strongly opposed the prefecture and county system and suggested returning to the enfeoffment system.But this son of mine is full of benevolence, fearing that the Confucian scholars in the world will cause chaos, but blindly protects the Confucian scholars and pleads for their lives, how stupid.

Now, although Yingzheng is no longer angry with Fusu and has called him back, the cowardly nature of this woman's benevolence still needs to be corrected, especially the Confucian things.

Yingzheng was really worried that if Fusu came to power in the future, would he really change his central system and restore the whole country to the enfeoffment system.

The reason why he got so angry just now was that he was scolding Feng Quji and other ministers on the surface, but in his heart he wanted Fusu to understand a truth. As the successor of Daqin in the future, facing Daqin's For all kinds of problems, the first thing to think about is to solve the problem, not to make concessions to the problem or difficulty.

In fact, the reason why Ying Zheng brought Fu Su to the morning court today was to ask him to come to the hall to listen and see how Li Yang governed the country and dealt with problems.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng couldn't help but sigh, they are all young people in their twenties, why is there such a big gap?

Look at Li Yang, he is very good!

He was even thinking that it would be great if Li Yang was his son.Even if he was to die now, he didn't have any regrets or worries, because he believed that Da Qin would be safe in Li Yang's hands.

Unfortunately, Li Yang is not his son.My own son... hey...

Just when Ying Zheng was furious about his son, Li Yang below also started to talk about sustainable development strategy...

Li Yang went forward, climbed three steps, and stood under Yingzheng, then turned around, faced the people in the hall, glanced at all the civil and military officials, and then said: "Before I talk about the sustainable development strategy, I have three I have a question, I want to ask you adults first."

"Ask, I want to ask Feng Xiang."

"Feng Xiang has repeatedly advised His Majesty to lighten the corvee. It can be seen that Feng should be aware of the current situation of the people in Daqin. So I want to ask Feng Xiang, what is the current situation of the people in the world?"

Li Yang looked at Feng Quji in front of him and asked.

Feng Quji took a look at Yingzheng, as if he was scolded by Yingzheng before, and he still had lingering fears at this moment, afraid of saying the wrong thing.

Li Yang smiled: "Feng Xiang can answer truthfully, there is no need to be nervous."

Feng Quji became a little more at ease. After contemplating for a while, he finally summoned up his courage and said, "Since Li Zhongcheng wants to tell the truth, then the truth should boldly tell us about the current situation of our people in Daqin."

"From the Warring States period to the reunification, the registered population of Daqin was about 2000 million. The number of corvee workers was 70 for the Afang Palace, 30 for the Lishan Tomb, 50 for the Great Wall in the north, and 50 for the Wuling in the south. 200 people, the total number of corvee can be estimated at about 30 million. In terms of military service, Meng Tian led an army of 50 people, and Zhao Tuo led an army of 100 people, plus the troops of the counties and borders will not be less than [-] million people."

"The number of people who have combined corvee service and military service is as many as three million people. This number accounts for about [-]% of the total population of our Great Qin, and they are all young and strong laborers. It can be said that, excluding the old, weak and young women, all the young and strong in our Great Qin are here .so……"

Speaking of this, Feng Quji was a little scared, and glanced at Yingzheng again, seeing that Yingzheng was not displeased, he continued: "So, if there is a serious shortage of young and strong labor force, there are now The old and the weak have insufficient food and clothing, and the military pay and taxes are even more serious. What's more serious is that five or six out of ten of the frontiers can't survive, and most of the corvee workers died on the way or during the construction. , resulting in a rapid reduction of the young and strong labor force, and if this continues...it will be difficult to last for any longer."

Thinking of Daqin's current situation, Feng Quji felt distressed. As the right prime minister of Daqin, facing such a serious situation, do you think he can not worry, can he not be in a hurry?

Feng Quji was really sad, and felt that he was really wronged. Over the years, seeing the situation getting worse and worse, he was so anxious that he risked his life to persuade him many times, but His Majesty never listened to him. Today is even more so. He was scolded by His Majesty in public.

Alas, if this continues, Daqin will die!

However, this time the emperor decided to dismiss all the corvees, which gave Feng Quji hope, because it represented that the crisis in Daqin could finally be completely resolved.

There are more than 200 million servants, all of whom are young and strong. They all return to the fields and engage in farming. Daqin has hope.

Although he was scolded by His Majesty today, thinking about it, Feng Quji still thanked Li Yang, not for anything else, but because he could win a way out for the people of the world and resolve the predicament for Great Qin.

After Feng Quji told the truth about Daqin's current situation, especially after hearing the figures he said, everyone in the hall realized the seriousness of the matter and felt worried.

Especially Fusu, who even opened his mouth wide in worry.

Of course, Ying Zheng was also secretly frightened. He never thought of Daqin's current situation to such a serious point.

Li Yang nodded, and said: "Feng Xiang's speech is very comprehensive, which shows that Feng Xiang cares about the country and the people, no one else can compare."

Feng Quji was taken aback for a moment. Li Yang was very surprised that he praised him so much. At the same time, he felt warm in his heart, feeling that someone had finally said a fair word for him.

Immediately, grateful in my heart, I cupped my hands and said, "Thank you Li Zhongcheng for your praise!"

Li Yang smiled, and then his face became a little dignified: "What Feng Xiang said, it can be seen that the crisis of our Great Qin has reached the moment of urgency, and what Feng Xiang said 'such a situation is unsustainable' is the current Great Qin status quo."

Everyone nodded and agreed with Li Yang's conclusion.

Li Yang then looked at He Zhang again, and asked, "Second question, I want to ask General He Zhang, according to the current status of the major projects, how long is it estimated that the major projects will be completed?"

Chapter 32 The Unlucky Boy

He Zhang was obviously taken aback for a moment, and his face immediately became very ugly. Obviously, this question was also very difficult for him.

There is no way, the answer sounds good, but if I can't do it myself, if I answer truthfully, the emperor will be furious again, I really don't know what to do.

He said with a bitter face: "Zhong... Zhongcheng, are you also telling the truth?"

Unexpectedly, Shihuang Yingzheng glared at him again: "Is it possible that you still want to lie!"

Poor He Zhang was so frightened again that he trembled and almost knelt down, and hurriedly said: "Report to Your Majesty, Zhongcheng, if there are enough people, the Great Wall will pass by the Great Wall of Qin, Zhao, and Yan." Connected, it is estimated that it will take another three years to complete, while the Lishan Qin Mausoleum will only take half a year to complete, and the Efang Palace will still take five years."

Having said that, he glanced cautiously at Ying Zheng, then at Li Yang, and he was slightly relieved when he saw that he didn't say anything wrong.In fact, these data are all the time originally estimated in the past. Of course, the current situation is obviously not like this, but he dare not say.

Li Yang nodded and smiled: "You also said that this is the time required for each project under the condition of sufficient manpower, but if we look at the current situation, how much does General He Zhang expect for each project?" When will it be finished?"

Hearing this, He Zhang trembled all over.

Damn, Li Yang, are you really going to kill me?

He Zhang's face turned pale with fright, and his heart was terrified.According to the current situation, the status quo is that there is no one to recruit, and the status quo is that even the existing servants are almost out of food. It won't be long before, let alone the project, even these existing servants may have to All starved to death, and finished a wool!

In such a situation, how the hell should I say this?

To be honest, isn't this courting death?

He Zhang is suffering from the heart, committing a crime, what kind of crime is this, he is doing well, no one offended, if you want to talk about your sustainable development strategy, then you can talk about it, why are you arrested? Seeing myself as such a general as the Shaofu tossing around.

He Zhang can't wait to beat his chest and feet, do you know that this will kill me?

He raised his head and glanced at Li Yang. This guy was staring at him steadfastly. He Zhang was so heartbroken that he had to ask again: "This... this time, are you still telling the truth?"

"He Zhang!" This time, Ying Zheng was really angry. This guy must be sick today!He said angrily: "If you don't answer the truth again, you will be killed immediately!"

thump……

He Zhang's feet softened, and he knelt down directly. His heart was ashamed, and he felt like a little daughter-in-law who had been wronged.

This is all right, I was forced to cry directly.

Poor He Zhang...

"Say!" Ying Zheng shouted coldly.

Seeing He Zhang's pitiful and cheap look, Li Yang felt a little sympathetic to him, and comforted him: "Your Majesty told you to tell me, just report it truthfully, don't be so nervous."

He Zhang has a feeling of wanting to die, isn't it all because of you?

However, the emperor was furious, so he didn't dare not to say anything, so he had to make up his mind and said tremblingly: "Returning to Your Majesty, Feng Xiang also stated the current situation of the Great Qin. If we look at the current situation, the servant is already a levy. Not only that, but now there is a shortage of food and clothing. The barracks in the Great Wall, Lishan, and Efanggong barracks, all the servants are starving. "
