Seeing that the king's expression was not as solemn as yesterday, Wang Wan was suddenly shocked. She quickly stepped forward, took the paper document from Qin Wangzheng's hand with both hands, and looked at what was written on the document with the help of the bright light in the side hall.
The font on it was very neat and elegant, exuding a trace of dust. There were not many words, only a few lines. Wang Wan glanced at it first, and his expression was even more shocked. Then, he kept whispering in his mouth.
"The law cannot be abandoned and the people cannot be harmed!"
"According to the laws of Xuanqing, at this juncture, Qin's laws cannot be changed, and taxes will inevitably be reduced in famine years, but they can be postponed."
"For the common people involved, the taxes will be transferred according to the number, and the counties and counties will be recorded in the households, and they will be replenished in the good years. The method of manipulation can only be summarized in sixteen words: one shortage, two replenishments, one famine, three replenishments, as usual in ordinary years, and replenishment in good years.
Tax."
In this way, the words on the paper document do not exist, but these few words solved the important issue that put the ministers in danger yesterday. Not only did it solve it, but they also provided countermeasures for possible situations in the future.
It is another way to achieve both ends. In total, this strategy is even worse than the strategy proposed by the master last year to recruit people to build the canal. However, no matter what, in just a few months, Master Xuanqing contributed two strategies to the Qin State.
The credit is very great.
"My king, how about a reply from the master?"
Not long after, before Qin Wangzheng and Wang Wan could think about it in detail, there were hurried footsteps again outside the side hall. Changping Lord Xiong Qi hurriedly walked into the hall, glanced at Wang Wan, and then stepped forward to salute.
"Mr. Changping, please take a look."
Qin Wangzheng, who was analyzing the master's plan in detail, nodded to Lord Changping, and then handed over the document again.
"Is Xiangbang so fast?"
Wang Wan on one side was a little surprised. It was just after the fifth watch, and there was still some time before the Chenshi court meeting, but Lord Changping entered the palace now. It was really surprising.
"I sent people to guard the palace gate. The young man ordered Zhao Gao to come back to repay me."
Xiong Qi, Lord of Changping, spoke, and Wang Wan, the responder, quickly browsed the master's documents handed over by King Qin Zheng.
"What is the master's plan?"
After a few breaths, when Lord Changping had just finished reading what was written in the document, King Qin Zheng was walking in the side hall, speaking casually.
"Wonderful, really wonderful!"
The contents of the document can be seen at a glance, and he briefly deduced in his mind whether this method was feasible. Changping Lord naturally understood clearly. He also heard the question about the government of Qin Wang, and immediately handed the document over, with a rich smile on his handsome face.
.
It is really unexpected that Master Xuanqing, a worldly expert, could have such clear views on political affairs. It would be enough once in a while, but twice in a row is not something that can be done casually.
"Hahaha, we only thought about how to exempt taxes and how to reduce taxes as much as possible, but we didn't think that taxes could be implemented slowly. In this way, there would be a lot of taxes, but the pressure on the people would not be obvious, there would be no fear in the good years, and everyone would benefit.
!”
"Master Xuanqing is indeed an expert!"
Wang Wan was also filled with admiration. After looking through the history books, there was no such plan. In the past, when countries had this kind of situation, they could simply exempt taxes. This would not only win the hearts of the people, but also help the king.
Only for the Qin State that adheres to Qin's laws, tax exemption is not feasible. Now, in the master, a universal method has been discovered. It's wonderful, it's really wonderful.
"Yes, the master's strategy is simple. We only need to take another step forward to achieve this strategy!"
Lord Changping and Wang Wan on one side looked at each other and smiled. This solution greatly reduced the pressure on them.
"Master has been in the Qin Dynasty for several years, but he has never thought that he is unparalleled in both martial arts and literature."
"One word is written, and a long-term strategy is established. The master's talent, innate latitude and longitude, and the protector of the country are small. When the Jingshui canal is built, I will personally invite the master to join my Qin court to help the Qin state and jointly bring about great events in the world."
Compared to the Changping Lord Xiong Qi and the Changshi Wang Wan, King Qin did not smile when it came to politics. He took the document from Changping Lord, looked at it carefully again, and then sighed.
All the events since Grandmaster entered Qin flashed through his mind, and coupled with the secret document he received a few months ago, he wanted to invite Master to join Qin no matter what.
Nearly a hundred years ago, King Huiwen was assisted by the wise man Qi Liji, who made him a good story. Now, it is possible for him to create such a good story. With all the contributions made by the master, the general trend of the world will help him in the next day.
I feel more at ease.
"The secret is revealed in one sentence. It seems simple. However, such a simple step has left our Qin court at a loss for a while. How many strategists have been stumped?"
"The court meeting has not yet started. Lord Changping, Wang Wan, please tell me how to issue this royal letter first?"
Seeing Lord Changping, Wang Wan nodded, and Qin Wangzheng smiled slightly, then pointed at the document in his hand. He had a general guideline, and there was a method for how to proceed next.
"The master has clearly stated the order in the document. If the king has no objections, it will not be difficult to draw up the king's letter."
Xiong Qi, the Lord of Changping, did not speak first, but cast his gaze on Wang Wan on one side. Seeing this, Wang Wan did not refuse, and said immediately to Qin Wangzheng and Xiong Qi.
"Otherwise, this king's letter is extraordinary. If possible, it should be discussed in detail and included in the laws of the official offices of various countries."
"Mr. Changping, what do you think?"
Qin Wangzheng shook his head when he heard this. Although such a simple document could solve the immediate situation, it failed to make a real long-term plan and had long-term impact.
When it comes to planning with an overall view, Xiong Qi, Lord of Changping, should be good at it.
"In Qi's view, if the king's book is published, it should be issued one after another, with clear levels, so that the people can easily understand it. First, the master's words can be used as an outline, the law cannot be discarded, and the people cannot be harmed. It also shows the great meaning of Qin's law to protect the people.
It can make Qin's law stronger."
"The second is to postpone the collection of taxes this year, and the third is to deal with taxes in the years of good and bad years in the future, and to determine various strategies so that the common people can understand Qin's laws and let Qin's laws enter the hearts of the people."
As expected by the King of Qin, what Chang Ping Jun said was very much what he wanted, even more appropriate than what he thought. Hearing this, he smiled brightly again. If the tax issue is solved, then there is only one thing that Qin can do right now.
.
"This is what the Prime Minister said, so this royal book can make up for the failure of Qin's laws to provide disaster relief, and it can be a long-term law!"
A glimmer of understanding flashed across Wang Wan's eyes, feeling that he had spoken before, and couldn't help but feel a little dumb.
"Can!"
"Wang Wan, according to the words of Lord Changping, draw up the king's letter. During the court meeting, the officials will discuss it again. If there is nothing wrong, it will be promulgated immediately after the court meeting!"
After all kinds of discussions, the problem was finally solved, and the King of Qin's government was settled in one sentence, setting the final tone. After receiving the order, Wang Wan bowed his hands and returned to his study to start drafting the king's letter.
Lord Changping returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion and began to recruit and formulate more specific strategies for the subsequent implementation of this King's Book, allocating manpower in order to truly implement this King's Book.
As for Qin Wangzheng, after spending a night of energy, he returned to the side hall again, reviewed the king's books, took supplements with decoctions, and recuperated his body. Soon, the court meeting was about to begin.
******
After the plowing ceremony, spring has arrived, but the old Qin people are not interested in spring outings. It is said that among the six countries in Shandong, there are quite a few people who have such interest.
Moreover, for this year, even if the old Qin people were so interested, they did not have the intention. As time passed by, everyone frowned and cursed constantly.
The wheat that was planted due to the drought last year has sparsely sprouted some green seedlings. Today, instead of showing signs of returning to green, it is wilting and turning yellow day by day.
However, fortunately, with the existence of waterwheels, the common people in the area ten miles away from the water flow can still see some hope, but those further away have no hope at all. If there is no waterwheel, there will be no hope for those three to five miles away from the water flow.
Hope.
I thought that after the plowing ceremony, there would be some rain, but after waiting for more than half a month, there was still no drop of water. If it had been the same as in previous years, it would have rained for ten days and a half.
The graceful willows that were green and intoxicating in the past spring have become withered and yellow. The wind and snow in the willows that travelers all over the world marveled at have also been turned into a choking earth mist by the yellow dust. Qinchuan is eight hundred miles from east to west, except for a clear blue sky.
It attracts people to curse, and even the evergreen pine trees and cypress trees have turned gray and lost their true colors.
Seeing that April is approaching, the people of the old Qin Dynasty are extremely panicked. If the previous crop cannot be harvested, the next crop will be dry again, and the autumn planting in the Jingshui canal will no longer be able to release water, the Qin State will really suffer a great disaster.
Robbed.
Just when the people of the major counties and counties of the Qin State were panicking, the two kings who came to Xianyang City rushed down and entered the major counties and villages. In an instant, the entire Qin State was once again in a state of panic.
boiling.
Last year, there was a severe drought. Some old Qin people who were sitting on poor farmland and hungry people from Shandong who entered the Qin Dynasty knew the laws of the Qin Dynasty and the Ming Qin king's book. They swarmed up the Jingshui River canal, and the whole country was boiling.
I never thought that this year, something like this would happen again. However, King Qin still remembered them firmly and took them to heart, especially for the old Qin people, and even more so for Qin Fa.
Have a deeper understanding.
At the beginning of the year, news came from Shandong that due to drought, the six kingdoms of Guandong had long been exempted from domestic taxes. Therefore, the scholars who traveled to Guandong in Qin were saying that given the harshness of Qin's laws, they were absolutely unacceptable.
Will be exempted from taxes.
For them in the drought, it is unbearable no matter what. However, today, with the issuance of the king's letter, everything will disappoint those people.
The first king's book postponed taxes in accordance with the law, allowing the people of Qin to make up for the tax within the next three years of good harvests, and stipulated the future tax rules: if there is a small famine, the tax will be paid in a normal year, and in a big famine year, the tax will be paid.
There is a clear statement at the beginning: the law cannot be abandoned and the people cannot be harmed.
When a king's letter fell, the entire Qin State's counties and counties boiled, and the entire Jingshui River was boiling. For this reason, Zheng Guo and Li Si even ordered the canal officials to carry the king's letter on horseback to the various canal passes.
At the source of the Jingshui River Canal where the shogunate is located, Zheng Guo climbed high and roared, narrating the King's Book word by word, his expression full of excitement. After staying with them for such a long time, he naturally knew the meaning of this King's Book.
Because of this, he felt the same, and with one word, the tens of thousands of people around the Jingshui River were first silent, and then a roar that shook the earth broke out, and one by one the people and craftsmen knelt on the ground.
Head south towards Xianyang City and bow deeply.
"Jiujiao Lao Qin, we will fight against the national calamity together!"
"Jiujiao Lao Qin, we will fight against the national calamity together!"
"..."
This sentence, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, was inspired by the spirit of the old Qin people. The emotions spread up and down the entire river. Nearly two million people were excited about it, excited about it, and cheered among themselves.
Later, news came out that this king's book of countermeasures was written by Xuan Qingzi, the protector of the country who is now in charge of the Jingshui Canal. Master Xuanqingzi is not only the protector of the country, but also the canal inspector.
Lawless people from the six kingdoms of Kanto destroyed the river canals.
In the past few months, hundreds of people from the Six Kingdoms of Kanto have been killed and captured. Even on the river canals, many people have seen the figure of the Protector of the Country. Although his figure is not often seen on the river canals, he is there.
, the Jingshui River Canal can be safely constructed.
Even the strategy of using military law to lure victims to the Jingshui River Canal last year was the work of the Protector of the Country Xuan Qingzi. With the power of these two strategies, millions of people were saved. For a time, the entire Jingshui Canal was covered by the Protector of the Country.
