Spring begins in March, and all over the country are busy.
As a matter of fact, at the end of last year, all the assassins from all over the world went to Chang'an to report their duties. Nowadays, sweet potato has been thoroughly popularized in the whole world of Daqin. In fact, people all over the world are not short of food, and hunger is rare.
But for Zhang Xiu, this is far from enough.
What Zhang Xiu wants is not only to have enough to eat, but also to let the world develop rapidly and get rid of the shackles.
In addition to the promotion of sweet potato, the imperial examination also spread all over the world. After all, in the early years, the imperial examinations had already been launched in the territory of Daqin. Now Daqin dominates the whole country, and the imperial examinations have been extended to the whole world.
The emergence of the imperial examination greatly weakened the power of the aristocratic family, and the poor scholars constantly rushed into the official system of the Qin Dynasty.
In addition, the large-scale promotion of papermaking and printing also increased the number of readers.
Even the number of readers is still small.
But there are more and more people reading, and reading is no longer out of reach.
As a whole, Daqin became stronger and stronger.
Zhang Xiu is not satisfied with this.
As a witness of all future generations, seen the high-rise buildings, seen the aircraft and artillery, saw the moon can go up nine days, can go down five oceans to catch turtles, Zhang Xiu is not satisfied with the current situation.
However, the foundation of today's Daqin is still not solid enough.
It will take time to settle.
Zhang Xiu is not in a hurry to attack the four sides, because to attack the four sides and more places, she needs stronger strength and sufficient strength.
At present, Daqin does not have such strength.
On this day, in the imperial city.
Zhang Xiuzheng's daily handling of government affairs, in fact, has the existence of the cabinet. Most of the government affairs have been filtered, and the government affairs sent to Zhang Xiu have been screened, so Zhang Xiu is not very busy.
"Step on it! Step on it
The knock came from outside the hall.
But Wang Yue entered.
Today's Wang Yue, more and more rickets back, hair white, the whole person has entered the old age. Even if Wang Yue was a general, he was old after all.
Fortunately, Wang Yue was extremely energetic.
When Wang Yue saw Zhang Xiu, he bowed to her and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, the empress has sent someone to send a message. Both empress Daqiao and Cao Jie have proved to be pregnant. Congratulations to your majesty. Congratulations to your majesty. "
"Seriously?"
After hearing this, Zhang Xiu also showed a smile on her face.
"It's true
Wang Yue replied solemnly.
"Good, good, good!"
Zhang Xiu said three good words in succession. In fact, it has been nearly ten years since she married and had children.
In the past ten years, although Zhang Xiu often went out on expeditions and expeditions, she did not stay at home. When she returned to Chang'an, she was gentle with her wife and concubine, but Zhang Cheng was the only son under her knees.
Now, Daqiao and Cao Jie are pregnant again, which makes them even more happy.
Zhang Xiu immediately arranged for people to send some suitable for pregnant women, and sent more imperial doctors to ensure that Daqiao and Cao Jie were pregnant at any time. When the business in hand is finished, Zhang Xiu goes to the harem to visit Daqiao and Caojie and comfort them to have a good baby.
In today's Daqin, only Zhang Cheng has such a son.
Too few.
So when Daqiao and Cao Jie got pregnant, the whole harem was busy and became lively.
In fact, there are not many people in Zhang Xiu's harem. Moreover, Zhang Xiu tries her best to treat all the women as well as a bowl of water. She doesn't treat anyone harshly, so she gets along well, and there is no intrigue.
Zhang Xiu pays attention to the pregnancy of Daqiao and Cao Jie, but she doesn't neglect the government affairs.
The world is peaceful and everything is normal.
After the beginning of spring, when farming is over, Zhang Xiu arranges people to call Jia Xu and Xu Shu.
Xu Shu is the first assistant!
Jia Xu is the second assistant!
Two people are the decisive existence in the civil service system of the Qin Dynasty. Now when they are summoned together, they all know that there must be some big action again.
After all, this year, Zhang Xiu did not take any action, is in the development of production, restore strength, in such a premise, Zhang Xiu suddenly summoned two people together, the significance is extraordinary.
After the ceremony, Xu Shu and Jia Xu took their seats.
Zhang Xiu didn't beat around the Bush and said, "the reason why we called you together today is to discuss something."
Xu Shu said, "Your Majesty, please show me."
Jia Xu is also calm, staring at Zhang Xiu, waiting for Zhang Xiu to speak.
Zhang Xiu replied, "I've been thinking about it for nearly a year. I'm going to carry out land reform."
"Land reform?"
When Xu Shu and Jia Xu heard this, their faces were stunned.Neither of them has ever heard of it.
I never knew what land reform was or how to do it.
As the first assistant, Xu Shu asked, "I dare ask your majesty, what is the land reform and how to carry it out? Today, our country is peaceful and the people are in peace. The people live a rich life. They don't have to worry about food. They can eat enough. How can we reform the land? "
Zhang xiudao said: "the so-called land reform is actually very simple. It boils down to one sentence: all the land under the Qin Dynasty is owned by the state, owned by the imperial court, and no longer under private control."
Boom!!
As if a clear thunder, immediately sounded in Xu Shu and Jia Xu's brain. Even though they were sitting in danger, they were still in a state of shock.
What Zhang Xiu mentioned is too scary.
Since ancient times, private land is private, and it is also allowed to be bought and sold. But all of a sudden, if we want to take all people's land back to the state and the imperial court, it will certainly cause a great disturbance.
It may even lead to unrest.
You know, even if there are countless poor scholars in the world, they have their own fields, and they are not willing to give up their own fields.
What's more, land is the lifeblood of the gentry. If they want to take over the land of all the powerful gentry, they will certainly not agree and will certainly boycott it.
"Your Majesty, this, this..."
Xu Shu has always been in front of the collapse of Mount Tai, but now he is stuttering. After taking a deep breath and adjusting his mood, he said, "Your Majesty, once this policy is carried out, I'm afraid it will endanger the nation."
Jia Xu smoothed his beard and echoed: "in the whole world, there are innumerable nobility, innumerable gentry and innumerable common people. Whether they are nobility in the court or ordinary families, land is their foundation. Once they want to take all the land in their hands and nationalize it, it will inevitably lead to unrest. This matter is immeasurable. "
After a pause, Jia Xu continued: "Your Majesty's intention, I can roughly understand, must be to collect the land, and then send it to the people for farming, so that the farmers have their own land. But the problem is that once the soldiers in the army oppose, the whole foundation will be shaken. "
Xu Shu said again, "Your Majesty, I agree with you."
Neither Xu Shu nor Jia Xu agreed to take over the land.
The two of them also have countless fields, but in fact, they don't care about the so-called fields when they come to this antithesis. The reason why they opposed it was that they really considered the long-term stability of the great Qin and the safety of the great Qin.
