As the emperor of the ages, Qin Shihuang claimed that he was like the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and was the leader of the Chinese tribe. He had long regarded the children of China as his own people.

Now that after listening to the two thousand years of later history told by Li Yang, Ying Zheng felt that the sufferings suffered by the Chinese nation were empathetic and mourning, and felt extremely sad and sad for the Chinese nation.

The wars brought about by the repeated changes of dynasties must occur every two or three hundred years. Prosperity, suffering of the people, and destruction, are also suffering of the people.

What made Qin Shihuang even more angry was that whenever the Chinese nation was weak, it would be invaded by foreign races, the country was destroyed, and the family was almost at risk of the destruction of the tribe.

The Huns suffered disaster, the Five Barbarians invaded China, the Ten Days of Yangzhou, the Eight-Nation Alliance, and the Japanese army invaded...

For more than two thousand years later, the uninterrupted bullying of foreign races made Ying Zheng feel heartbroken and filled with grief!

What's even more sad is that the Qin Empire he built by himself only existed for fifteen years, which made Ying Zheng extremely sad and sad.

If you don’t know this history of suffering in the Chinese nation for more than two thousand years, that would be fine.

But now that I know, how could Ying Zheng let it continue to develop along the historical trajectory?

Change must be changed!

Although the Qin Dynasty had abolished the sanctions and lighted labor service, and implemented a series of new policies and reforms, which brought new hope to the people of the world. In addition, Xiang Yu, who had originally destroyed Qin in history, was already dead, and it seemed that the Qin Dynasty had no worries about the country being destroyed.

However, Ying Zheng was still not satisfied with the fact that he was just worry-free at the moment. Especially after he was familiar with the history of the Chinese nation for more than two thousand years, his ideals and ambitions became even greater.

He wanted to create a prosperous Qin Dynasty, and to allow this prosperous Qin Dynasty to last for thousands of years and protect the Chinese nation for generations.

To do this, you must do two words, that is, strong and prosperous.

After understanding the history of later generations for more than two thousand years, Ying Zheng deeply realized what it means to be like water. Water can carry a boat and can also overturn the boat.

If the country does not prosper and the people live a hard life, they will rebel.

If the country is not strong and does not have strong military power, even if it flourishes, foreign races will still invade and bully it. Just like the Qing Dynasty, it was also prosperous in the world pattern at that time. In Li Yang's words, the total GDP volume is quite large.

But, so what? Are you still bullied by foreigners, robbed by the Eight-Nation Alliance, various unequal treaties, and land cede compensation, which one is less?

Moreover, Li Yang said that there is a country called Russia that only uses the GDP of Guangdong Province of China to successfully play around the world and often challenge the United States. It can be seen that a country cannot resist foreign ethnic groups by its prosperity alone. Only by the strength of its military can it shock the small amount.

Therefore, if we want to ensure that the Qin Dynasty can last for thousands of years and to avoid bullying, we must build a country that is prosperous internally and strong externally.

However, Ying Zheng did not have much opinion on all this.

"Li Yang, according to you, how can we make the Qin Dynasty prosperous and powerful?" Ying Zheng looked up at Li Yang and asked.

Li Yang replied: "Prosperity depends on economic prosperity; strength depends on strong military power. This kind of military power is not necessarily just the number of troops, but more importantly, advanced weapons. Isn't the reason why His Majesty's Qin army was able to sweep the six countries because the Qin crossbow was invincible in the world?"

Ying Zheng nodded, agreeing with Li Yang's explanation very much.

At this moment, Li Yang suddenly sighed and said, "But... the Qin Dynasty has not even been able to solve its food and clothing. It is still a long way from Xingsheng."

When Ying Zheng heard this, he frowned and said, "Now that the labor service is light, the people can farm with peace of mind. The construction of various places has been stopped a few days ago. The victims have returned to their hometowns to harvest in autumn. So far, we will have no worries about food and clothing?"

Li Yang smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, do you really think that the people can solve the problem of food and clothing after the autumn harvest?"

"Isn't a year of farming enough to maintain a year of food?" Ying Zheng was puzzled.

"Your Majesty doesn't know that almost all the land of Qin is in the hands of the new crown princes. The people in the world are tenants, and they can survive by renting the land of the new crown prince landlords. If you farm for a year, if you catch up with the harvest and pay the land rent, you may be able to drink porridge for a year. If you catch up with the famine, you will be out of your way."

Speaking of this, Li Yang couldn't help but worry: "Your Majesty, think about it, only when the people catch up with the year of harvest can they drink porridge for a year and there is no surplus grain. Once they catch up with the famine and have no way to survive, wouldn't they rebel? For example, the famine several months ago is the best example."

"How could this happen?" Ying Zheng was really shocked.

This is not a surprise to him, because in his opinion, the people actually have self-cultivated land.

Qin State changed from slavery to feudal system.

Many people don’t understand the difference between the two. In fact, the biggest nature is that the basis of slavery is the collective production of well fields by slaves, while the basis of feudal system is the individual production of civilians one by one. In other words, at this time, thousands of slaves were successfully transformed into self-cultivated farmers through military merits and had their own land.

Those who made military achievements were granted additional land.

For example, the lowest level of "commander" in the military title level can obtain a hectare of land, a house and a servant only if you have to seize one enemy's head.

From this we can see that those who have made military achievements will have additional enfeoffment on the land, which is called military construction fields.

Therefore, in Ying Zheng's view, the people of the Qin Dynasty only have the difference between more and less land in each family, and it is impossible for the people to have no land.

Ying Zheng said: "Since the unification of the world, hundreds of thousands of soldiers have made military achievements. In the later period, I was worried that continuing to reward land would make it insufficient, so I issued a new order to replace land with salary. Anyone with a marquis below will no longer be granted land, and the salary will be replaced by annual salary. Why do people still have no land to cultivate themselves?"

Li Yang smiled bitterly: "Although Your Majesty has left self-cultivated land for the people of the world, it is..."

"If you have something to say, I won't blame you." Ying Zheng knew that Li Yang must have wanted to say something ruthless.

Li Yang nodded and then said, "Have you forgotten that during the past ten years, the people have been constantly mobilizing the people to build the Great Wall, build the Chidao, build the Afang Palace, build the Lishan Tomb, etc., and requisitioned millions of laborers. As a result, there was a serious shortage of labor required for farming and production, so there was a situation where 'men were not able to work hard to farm and pay, and women were not able to spin and do not have enough clothes'."

Hearing this, especially Ying Zheng, who had been in the next two thousand years, couldn't help but feel embarrassed. However, he did not blame Li Yang, but said in disbelief: "Although the corvee service is heavy, I did not ask them to hand over their own farmland!"

Li Yang sighed helplessly: "Although Your Majesty did not ask them to hand over the land, the people in the world are serving and no one is working, but they still have to pay the land tax. What should I do?"

Ying Zheng was stunned, looked at Li Yang, waiting for his later words.

At this time, Li Yang replied: "There is no ripe in the field, and the tax on this field must be paid, so he had to sell the land to exchange for grain. On the one hand, it was for the tax to be paid, and on the other hand, it was for the survival of the elderly, weak women and scholars in his family. And those who could afford the land were naturally the upstarts with the grain and the rich and gentry. Therefore, during the past ten years, the land of Qin State slowly flowed into their hands."

Yes, after the Qin State was unified, the most important thing to worry about was the issue of the new nobles who had divided the feudal state. However, Qin State had a short life and had not had time to discover this problem, Qin State was finished by Qin II, so this problem no longer exists.

However, now that Li Yang's appearance has changed the situation in Qin State, this problem has to be put on the table and faced officially.

"So that's it, so that's it!"

Hearing this, Ying Zheng finally realized the problem and understood the crux of the problem.

Because in Qin, those who have made military merits can be exempted from labor service, so when civilians are still busy farming, they have surplus food for their families. In this way, when civilians have no young and strong labor to farm and have no way to survive, they have to sell their land to these upstarts and gentry.

At this time, Li Yang continued: "Now the Qin State is poor, and the people below are suffering. Only the upstarts and gentry members are rich enough to compete with the country. The money and food of a country are all their hands. This time, the people's famine is so famine that the country is unable to revive the disaster. Only a hundred merchants have solved the millions of victims in the world. It can be seen that the local tyrants and gentry are rich. If this continues, let alone the prosperous and powerful country, it only takes another disaster and the people will rebel again. Your Majesty, this problem is already very serious, and you must prepare early."

This time, Ying Zheng also realized the seriousness of the problem.

To put it bluntly, this is in danger of destroying Qin.

"This is a difficult disease caused by the implementation of Qin's policies over the years, and it may be difficult to solve for a while." Ying Zheng pondered for a while, and then said, "Do you have a way?"

Li Yang said: "There is no good solution. You can only use severe medicine for severe cases!"

"Who is the medicine?" Ying Zheng asked.

Li Yang stretched out four fingers: "Land Reform!"

"Land reform?" Ying Zheng was stunned.
