"I have also made relevant plans regarding the land tax revision issue that Lord Zhang mentioned before." Zhao Qingrui took out his own plan.
Zhao Qingrui prepared two documents, one for the original policy of allocating land tax and the other for state-owned enterprises.
After Zhao Qingrui finished explaining the system of dividing the land tax by land, the silence in Qilin Hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
"Your Highness, this system is undermining the foundation of the Qin Dynasty. We cannot do this." Zhou Yan was the first to stand up and object. If they lost their land, it would be a huge blow to the nobles like them.
"I second the motion."
A lot of people stood up to oppose it, but these people did not include Li Si, Feng Quji and others. Ying Zheng had already discussed this plan with them before, and the plan was prepared a long time ago.
Because they had known about it for a long time and had participated in the improvement of the plan, they already had a clear understanding of this system.
Especially after knowing that this plan was proposed by Zhao Qingrui, people like Feng Quji became even more optimistic about Zhao Qingrui.
Although this plan may harm their interests temporarily, it will be of great benefit to Daqin in the long run.
As people who have followed His Majesty for so many years, they have already reached the highest position in the country and do not lack such little things. If they can make the Qin Dynasty better, they are willing to work hard for it.
"Your Majesty, I feel that this system will not damage the foundation of the Qin Dynasty. Instead, it will make the Qin Dynasty better and better. The Qin Dynasty is not only composed of the gentry, but more of the common people. The common people are the foundation of the Qin Dynasty." Li Si said respectfully.
"Your Majesty, when we surveyed the land before, we found that many fields were hidden fields, and there were also hidden households. I also want to make Daqin a better place. Since you all are so opposed to it, is it possible that my name is also not clean, with hidden fields and hidden households?" Zhao Qingrui said righteously.
"Your Majesty, I am innocent. As an official of the Qin Dynasty, it is impossible for me to break the law knowingly." Zhou Yan's face froze, and then he cried out that he was innocent.
"Since you feel that you are wronged, then what are you worried about?" Zhao Qingrui swept his sharp eyes over these people.
These people all have some problems to a greater or lesser extent, but it is not a big problem. Some of these people also have hidden fields and households, but they are not many.
Therefore, they were not cleared out during the previous cleanup, and there was a shortage of people in the court.
Moreover, when the water is too clear, there will be no fish. It is impossible that those people do not have any problems at all.
"I believe all my colleagues understand what kind of life the common people of the Qin Dynasty live. The common people are the foundation of the Qin Dynasty. Without them, you will be nothing." Zhao Qingrui said lightly.
"Qingrui is right. I have already known about the issue of dividing the land tax by the amount of land, and have discussed it with the Prime Minister and others. It will be implemented after the grain is harvested at the end of the year." Ying Zheng naturally stood on his daughter's side without hesitation.
Looking at his daughter's confident and outspoken appearance, Ying Zheng felt very relieved. This is how his child should be.
Ying Zheng's words immediately silenced those who still wanted to continue opposing. His Majesty and the others had already discussed this matter, and they had not received any news at all.
When they were surveying the land before, they didn't pay much attention to this matter.
After all, after the measurement, the court no longer paid any attention to this matter, and they gradually forgot about it.
"This meeting is to make Daqin a better place, not for personal gain. Please adjust your attitudes, everyone." After the old man spoke, things went much more smoothly.
Zhao Qingrui planned to set up state-owned enterprises in order to fill the national treasury and even provide a large number of jobs. No one had any objections.
——————
The meeting lasted for three days before all the plans were finalized.
The plan has been sorted out. Zhao Qingrui looked at the plan in his hand with a bright smile on his face.
The situation in Daqin cannot achieve the same kind of great harmony as modern development, but the plan in her hands can make Daqin much stronger.
She is still young and has system support, so Zhao Qingrui is full of confidence in the future.
"Little sister, you seem to want to suppress the nobles? It is because of those nobles that the Qin Dynasty has become what it is today. Why do you want to do this, little sister?" Fusu looked at Zhao Qingrui in confusion.
Ying Zheng glanced at Fusu with disdain and said, "Learn more from your little sister, and stop fooling around with Chunyu Yue and the others."
"Okay, calm down. Are you thirsty, father? I'll make you some tea." Zhao Qingrui said with a smile. He was in a very good mood. The meeting was successfully completed. Even though there were some objections, the Qin Dynasty was not ruled by those people.
He made a cup of tea for his father and brother, "Brother, do you think we need those nobles to secure the throne?" Looking at Fusu, Zhao Qingrui asked back.
"They have made an indelible contribution to the stability of the Qin Dynasty. Suppressing them now seems like abandoning them." Fusu was used to being disliked by his father. He felt uncomfortable unless his father scolded him.
"Can the nobles that Big Brother mentioned represent everyone? The Feng family, the Meng family, the Wang family, and Li Si and others, they knew about my plan, but they did not object. Their interests were also affected, but they firmly supported me." Zhao Qingrui raised the corners of his lips. Fusu was like this, maybe someone said something in his ear again.
The fact that he was easily influenced caused both her and Ying Zheng a headache.
The Chief Censor supervises all officials, and it is hoped that he can gain more experience and temper his temperament in there.
Fusu paused holding the teacup. Indeed, these people were definitely the greatest nobles in the Qin Dynasty. Even if their interests were damaged, they would be the ones who suffered the most. They lacked firm support for his younger sister.
"A bunch of short-sighted termites." Ying Zheng looked displeased.
"Yes, the emperor is like a boat and the people are like water. Water can carry a boat but it can also overturn it. Everything that the Qin Dynasty has today is thanks to the people. If you stay in the Censorate in the future, you can learn more about the situation of the officials and understand what is really going on behind those high-sounding nobles." Zhao Qingrui said lightly.
"What the common people care about is who can lead them to a better life. They don't care who the emperor is."
"If the Qin Dynasty wants to last long, it needs the support of the people."
Looking at Fusu who was still in deep thought, Ying Zheng felt disgusted again. His daughter's words really sounded nice. Looking at Fusu again, he felt that transferring Fusu back would only bring trouble to himself.
"Do you know where you are inferior to Qing Rui? If you were really made emperor, it's hard to say whether you could defend the Great Qin."
Zhao Qingrui looked at her father helplessly. She found that whenever her father saw Fusu, he couldn't help but want to scold him. Fusu probably grew up being scolded. He was never affirmed and was hesitant in doing things. His father should take a great responsibility for Fusu's character.
