he had already offended the First Emperor to the point of no return, and now, he could only follow Ying Su to the end!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he didn't want to do it, since Ying Su had said it would be done, as a subject, he could only think of ways to do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides the relationship between ruler and subject, there was another thing that had a huge impact on him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was that Great Qin had lost two million people in eleven years of unification during a time without major wars!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This matter had a huge impact on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, he couldn't help but doubt whether his persistence was correct!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it was correct, then why did the population decrease instead of increase after the world was at peace?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current Great Qin actually had a smaller total population than during the period of the Seven States' hegemony!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt very melancholy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, at this very moment, he couldn't help but want to try a revolution!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if it really worked?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pondering for a moment, he said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The 'taxation based on land' is not feasible, but we can imitate the grain donation during the Shang Yang reforms; whenever a disaster occurs, the imperial court encourages nobles to donate money and grain, so as to weaken the nobles in a disguised way!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he spoke, Zhang Liang immediately laughed: \"Donating money and grain depends entirely on willingness; what if the nobles refuse to pay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This matter must be legislated; only by relying on the law to force the nobles to pay will they have no choice but to pay!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Si said angrily: \"How much chaos will direct legislation trigger?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you considered how great the reaction of the nobles will be?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Liang said: \"Then do you think that if it depends entirely on willingness, how many will be willing to donate?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two argued endlessly again, and just at this moment, Xiao He suddenly spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Majesty, the two matters of relaxing criminal law and noble taxation are too influential to be pushed across the country all at once; why not pick a county to experiment with first?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Try it in this county; if it is truly excellent, then promote it to the whole country; if it is handled poorly, then stop it immediately!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In this way, whether it is good or bad, there will be a buffer!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spoke!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And once these words were out, Li Si and Zhang Liang’s eyes both lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost instantly, they both nodded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is excellent!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Liang praised: \"If it succeeds in one county, it means this method is truly effective!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And if it fails in one county, it won't do any harm!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At worst, we can think of other methods!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Si also praised: \"This method is very clever, steady!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Majesty, this method can be used!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shouted and bowed to Ying Su!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he kept looking at Xiao He, truly appreciating this man more and more!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Likewise, he hated Zhang Liang's drastic reforms the most!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Liang only saw the benefits of drastic reforms, but never thought about what kind of drawbacks would be left behind in the process!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Take Shang Yang, for example!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He made the Qin State powerful, but the noble chaos left behind by the Shang Yang reforms spread through three generations of Qin kings!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't until the reign of King King Zhaoxiang of Qin that this noble chaos was finally quelled!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Wei Wenhou proposed employing people based on talent regardless of their background; this indeed caused a burst of many talents in the Wei State.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, Shang Yang, Fan Ju, Zhang Yi, and Gongsun Yan were all results of Wei Wei Wenhou's implementation of employing people based on talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this also caused the Wei nobles to crazily target the Wei royal family!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So much so that after Wei Wei Wenhou died, the successor of the Wei royal family was actually controlled and held by the nobles!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, how could Wei Wei Wuji have died?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of drastic reform has quick results, but the harm is equally great!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key is that it will spread; perhaps while Ying Su is alive, they won't dare to do anything, but what about after Ying Su dies?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nobles will bully the future monarchs!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Ying Su's approach is very good!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it's implemented well and can indeed strengthen the country, then do it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it's not implemented well, then abandon it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how harmful it is, it will be controlled within the scope of one county!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It will neither expand nor spread!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if one county rebels, so what?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There's no need for the imperial court to send a large army!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Su can just send a Li Li Yuanba over, and it will be quelled directly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Si appreciated this point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Likewise, even Zhang Liang couldn't help but look at Xiao He again and again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Appreciation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truly appreciating this man!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Ying Su couldn't help but start praising Xiao He; he truly had the strategy for governing the country!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To actually be able to think of this method!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, this method also had a prototype!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems there were similar plot points in the later \"Emperor Yongzheng Dynasty\"!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In order to fill the national treasury, Emperor Emperor Yongzheng introduced the \"taxation based on land,\" \"returning the fire-loss to the public,\" and having the gentry serve and pay grain together; he had once let Tian Tian Wenjing and Li Wei carry out a pilot project!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, pushing it across the country directly would trigger chaos in the first instance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this way, it would be like a plane crashing directly onto a concrete floor; the contradictions would explode instantly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the way to maximize the loss of national strength!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is the way to have both fish and net perish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Likewise, it is also the most wasteful way!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most obvious example is actually the Chu State!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Chu State had always wanted to become a hegemon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After seeing the Shang Yang reforms successfully increase national strength!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The King of Chu also vigorously carried out a revolution, but in the end, because the contradictions were too intense and the King of Chu killed too many people, the revolution failed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only did the revolution fail, but it also greatly depleted national strength, thereby losing the qualification to compete for hegemony!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, there were also the Qi State and the Yan State!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all caused their national strength to weaken because their revolutions were too intense!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, all other countries that wanted to reform were scared away from doing so!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They feared even talking about reform!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also the reason why Wei Wei Wuji only dared to do things back then but didn't dare to talk about reform!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was afraid of reform!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because reform is truly the easiest way to destroy a country!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another country destroyed by reform was Wang Mang's Xin Dynasty!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was because the reform was too intense that the country was directly ruined!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Shang Yang reforms?\u003C\u002Fp>",1251,"2026-06-16T15:53:55.937Z","2026-06-16T16:02:52.546Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","53997dab6ef2c91036eb9fab20a748709f266490b7b717b85ff75dd8d9c55c98","great-qin-i-launch-a-military-coup-asking-father-chapter-64","great-qin-i-launch-a-military-coup-asking-father-chapter-62",353,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgreat-qin-i-launch-a-military-coup-asking-father-cover.jpg"]
