Da Qin: I exposed myself as a time traveler, why are you Zhao Gao panicking?

Chapter 217 Lu Gong’s request

They all know that building teaching is the foundation of long-term peace and stability. Qin Chi's ability to propose this strategy shows that he has thought deeply.

Qin Chi paused and continued: "Secondly, it is advisable to migrate some people from the Central Plains to Baiyue and mix with the local people. In this way, the advanced culture and farming technology of the Central Plains can be spread, and the people of Baiyue can also learn from them. , follow suit and accelerate the process of civilization and enlightenment."

After hearing this, Zu Long couldn't help but nod in approval.

He knew that migrating people would not only promote cultural exchanges, but also strengthen Qin's control over the land of Baiyue.

Li Si also praised the move and thought it was a strategy that would kill two birds with one stone.

Qin Chi's words were sonorous, and after a pause he added: "Furthermore, to govern Baiyue, we must have capable officials. We should appoint smart and capable officials who are familiar with the people's conditions to govern, carry out the policies of our Great Qin, govern the people with law, and transform the people with virtue." , at the same time, we also need to focus on selecting local talents to participate in governance together to win people's hearts."

After saying this, the atmosphere in the hall was lifted.

As soon as these words came out, Zulong and Li Si were shocked again.

They knew the importance of selecting and appointing capable officials, but Qin Chi was able to combine it with education and put forward the concept of ruling the people by law and transforming the people with morality, which was indeed a far-sighted move.

A hint of admiration flashed in Zulong's eyes, and he nodded and said: "Qin Qing has considered it very carefully. Education cannot be accomplished in a day. It needs to be persevered to be effective. You should plan carefully, and I will give my full support."

However, Li Sique looked worried and expressed doubts about Qin Chi's relocation strategy: "Master Qin, it may not be easy for the people to relocate to their homeland. Furthermore, anyone who moves to the land of Baiyue will be given land." , land, cattle, sheep and other livestock are exempted from taxes for three years. This kind of benevolent policy is good, but the taxes for these three years are also a big loss for the national treasury. Our Daqin is in need of money for many constructions, how can we take it lightly? Talk about tax exemption?”

His words revealed concern about the country's finances.

Hearing this, Qin Chi smiled slightly and replied calmly: "Prime Minister Li is very worried. However, although the people have settled down and relocated, if they are lured with benevolent policies, their concerns will be resolved. As for the tax exemption, although it will not be affected in the short term, The treasury will be affected to some extent, but in the long run, the land of Baiyue is at home, and its people and material resources can be used by me, so why worry about tax increases?"

As soon as he said this, a look of shock flashed in Zulong's eyes.

He did not expect Qin Chi to consider the problem so deeply, taking into account not only the migration problems of the people, but also the long-term development of the country.

Li Si also looked surprised, surprised by Qin Chi's answer.

Qin Chi paused for a moment and continued to explain: "Furthermore, with the rise of money banks, tax revenue has become increasingly abundant. Moreover, when Baiyue did not return, the tax revenue from its land did not enter our Qin Dynasty. Now that it has surrendered, we should be generous." , in order to win their hearts, the three-year tax exemption is a temporary policy, not a long-term solution. When the people of Baiyue settle down, the tax revenue will naturally continue to flow."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed.

Li Si's originally furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and his eyes showed some relief and appreciation.

He looked at Qin Chi with a little more respect and admiration.

Zu Long, who was listening in, nodded frequently, with a look of approval on his face.

Qin Chi stood in the hall, feeling the gaze from the side, but his heart felt peaceful.

Zulong pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "What Qin Qing said deeply resonates with me. Although the people will be relocated, their worries will be resolved under benevolent government. Although the tax exemption will be detrimental in the short term, in the long run , the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.”

When Li Si heard this, he couldn't help but clasped his hands and praised: "Master Qin's far-sightedness is really a blessing to our great Qin. This strategy not only solves the immediate difficulties, but also provides a long-term solution. It is really a wonderful strategy!"

Qin Chi smiled slightly, bowed and said, "Your Majesty is so complimentary. I am just doing my best to share your Majesty's worries and benefit the Qin Dynasty."

Although his voice was calm, it revealed a firmness and confidence.

Zulong looked at Qin Chi with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

He knew that this young man not only had extraordinary talent and wisdom, but also had an innocent heart that sought the welfare of the people of Great Qin.

Such ministers are truly a blessing to the Qin Dynasty.

And Li Si also applauded it, thinking that what Qin Chi said was very true, and his previous worries disappeared under Qin Chi's explanation. This strategy not only solved the immediate problem, but also pointed out the direction for Da Qin's long-term development.

After Zulong pondered for a moment, he said: "Although the people have to move again, their worries will be resolved under benevolent government."

"The tax exemption may cause short-term losses, but in the long run, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages!"

"I'm going to play it!!"

……

At dusk, Qin Chi returned to the mansion and saw his father-in-law, Mrs. Lu, already waiting in front of the hall. The girls were also standing beside him, creating a harmonious scene.

I saw Lu Pheasant dressed in rich clothes and wearing a pearl hairpin, looking dignified and beautiful like a fairy in heaven.

His eyes were as bright as a torch, flashing with the will of a woman and a man.

As quiet as a virgin and as active as a stripped rabbit, she stood in front of the hall, like a peony in full bloom, noble and charming, making people dare not look at her.

Lu Suze is dressed in plain clothes like snow, without any powder, and her elegant and refined appearance is like a moon palace fairy descending to earth. Her eyes are clear and as gentle as jade, revealing a kind of tranquil beauty that is transcendent and otherworldly.

She stands with a smile, like a lily in bud, fresh and elegant, refreshing.

Yu Shu's emerald skirt is trailing to the ground, graceful and graceful, like a green willow supporting the wind. Her face is as delicate as a flower, and her bright eyes are good at gazing, shining with agility.

Her smile is lovely, sweet and bright, like sunshine breaking through clouds and fog, warming people's hearts and bringing them endless hope and joy.

The three beauties each have their own charm, some are noble and dignified, some are fresh and elegant, some are graceful and graceful, they are all indescribably beautiful.

They stood beside Mrs. Lu, dazzling like stars over the moon.

Qin Chi hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said, "I'm late for returning. I asked my father-in-law to wait for you."

Old Grandpa Lu stroked his beard and smiled, saying: "It's okay, it's okay. I'm busy with things today, and I know you're working hard. Come and have a meal."

After saying this, he personally led Qin Chi to the dining table.

The table is filled with all kinds of delicacies, and the aroma is overflowing.

Qin Chi and the girls took their seats one by one. Grandpa Lu raised his glass and said, "Today's family banquet will not talk about state affairs, but only family relationships. Come and drink this wine together!"

When everyone heard the words, they all raised their glasses and cheered for a while, enjoying themselves happily.

During the banquet, the table was full of delicacies and the lights were brightly lit. Qin Chi, Grandpa Lu and the girls were sitting around.

During the conversation, Old Master Lu suddenly mentioned something. He put down the jade chopsticks in his hand and looked at Qin Chi with bright eyes.

"My dear son-in-law, I have something that I have been thinking about for a long time." Mrs. Lu said openly, with a hint of solemnity in her voice, "Since ancient times, education is the foundation of a country and the way for people to learn."

"When I was in Peixian County, I deeply felt the importance of this Tao and devoted myself to establishing teaching to enlighten the people's wisdom and educate talents."

"Now that we have arrived in Xianyang, I want to promote this matter more widely, so that the people of Xianyang can also bathe in the grace of enlightenment."

He paused for a moment, as if observing Qin Chi's reaction, and then continued: "However, this matter is beyond my ability alone. As an important minister of the imperial court, my virtuous son-in-law is well versed in the way of governing the country. I wonder what he has to say about this?"
