The lights were on in the imperial study. The north wind outside the door was chilly, but inside the door, the smoke from the stove was curling, and it was warm like spring.
Qin Mu listed nearly twenty clauses as key promotion projects in the next five-year administrative plan.
Now that the country has just been established, nothing has become rigid yet. In addition, his prestige as an emperor is high, and the civil and military officials are afraid that the birds will be gone and the bows will be put away, so they are relatively obedient. The formulation and implementation of various policies will encounter less resistance.
Li Jiqing petitioned for the Crown Prince to move to the palace, and it was a good idea to keep it on hold for the time being, so that the ministers would be careful in their work and would be conducive to the implementation of these policies.
Qin Mu put down his pen, stretched himself, and when he picked up the tea to drink, he found that it had already gone cold.
"Xiangjun, bring me a cup of hot tea."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Xiangjun's gentle voice came from the inner hall.
Qin Mu covered up the terms he had written. He would not let anyone see these things, not even Li Xiangjun.
The implementation of each of these clauses involves a very wide range of aspects. It would be disastrous if they were leaked out just when I had just started to think about them.
Two beauties walked out gracefully and silently. Li Xiangjun went to make tea, while Xu Ruoshi came behind him and massaged his sore shoulders.
Qin Mu sighed softly, leaned back in the warm chair and closed his eyes to think. The sound of two drums came from outside the window. The fragrance of the ambergris on the stove had a very good refreshing effect.
Although it is called a five-year plan, many of the clauses written in it are actually long-term in nature. They just need to be rolled out and institutionalized within these five years.
If you want to be rich, you must build roads first. From the later cases of the United States and China, we can see that building roads is a must.
As for road construction itself, as long as it is done well and not recklessly like Qin Shihuang built the Great Wall or Emperor Yang of Sui dug the Grand Canal, it can greatly increase market demand and promote economic development, not to mention the benefits brought by the roads after they are built.
With the continuous prosperity of overseas trade, private capital will become increasingly strong, and this private capital must be well guided, otherwise it will surely flow into land mergers. The more private money there is, the more serious the land mergers will be.
This is not good for the development of industry, the country, the people, or the capital holders themselves. We should guide these capitals to road construction and industry and commerce so that they can play a positive role in promoting the development. This is something we must consider and work hard to do.
There is also ecological protection, which is not a short-term matter, but must be done as soon as possible. Ecological destruction is easy, but restoration is extremely difficult. We cannot wait until we pay a huge price in the future before paying attention to these things.
Overgrazing is definitely not a good idea. People are now used to cooking with firewood and building with wood, which will cause great damage to the ecology.
So honeycomb briquettes may seem insignificant, but they play a significant role in changing the lifestyles of ordinary people and protecting the natural ecology. As for carbon dioxide emissions, let them go to hell. Burning firewood also emits carbon dioxide.
There is also a change in building materials. China's traditional habit of using wood as the main building material must be changed. Otherwise, no matter how much wood is used, it will not be enough. It is also not conducive to fire prevention. In history, there are many cases where a fire burned down half of a city.
With the continuous improvement of smelting technology and cement quality, reinforced concrete structure buildings must be promoted forcefully.
There is also a performance appraisal system for officials, which is a necessary means to ensure that officials are honest, self-disciplined, diligent and efficient.
The deterrent effect of punishment lies not in its severity but in its inevitability.
This sentence is absolutely classic.
Skinning and stuffing people with straw, as Zhu Yuanzhang did, is cruel, but what’s the point
When an official commits corruption and abuses the law, he or she does not think of torture, but thinks that they can get away with it. Therefore, no matter how harsh the punishment is, it is difficult to eliminate the phenomenon of corruption and abuse of power.
Only by improving the system can they be prevented from taking chances. If this is achieved, even if your punishment is not so harsh, they will not dare to be greedy again.
The official property registration system, the lifelong administrative accountability system, administrative openness and transparency, etc. are all aimed at regulating the behavior of officials. Combined with corresponding supervision, I believe that even if there is no such thing as skinning and stuffing, the effect will be better than that of Zhu Yuanzhang.
The tax system must also be changed.
Most people believe that China has been destroyed by land annexation throughout the dynasties. This is a superficial understanding and ignorant statement.
It can be said with certainty that land annexation will never lead to the destruction of a country.
The real reason for the demise of dynasties throughout history is the deformed tax system.
Throughout history, until the Ming Dynasty, China's tax system was the most unequal. Those who paid taxes were the poor, while the rich lived a life of debauchery without having to pay taxes.
This is what leads to the country’s destruction.
Such a tax system caused the court's tax revenue to dry up and made the contradiction between the rich and the poor irreconcilable. The rich became richer, the poor became poorer, and they could not even afford to eat. Eventually, it developed to the point where only force could be used to redistribute power and wealth. This was the reason for the demise of all dynasties.
Previously, the taxation system of the Qin Dynasty had already changed from the traditional head tax to the land tax, which was actually the land tax. The promotion of this tax system was carried out along with the military conquest of various places.
After Xiang defeated the Zheng family, he sent Gu Junen to govern Fujian. His main job was to select officials, rebuild the administrative structure, clear the land, register it, and then switch to levying taxes based on acreage.
At that time, we were still in the war stage and few people dared to oppose. There were also rebellions of resistance near Fuzhou, but they were all suppressed by the army.
The process of the Qin Dynasty's tax system was carried out entirely in line with the progress of the war, so it encountered very little resistance.
But Qin Mu believes that this is far from enough. Personal income tax, import and export taxes, luxury goods consumption tax, etc. must all be gradually implemented or improved.
This has far-reaching significance in easing the contradiction between the rich and the poor, ensuring the inexhaustible state funds, protecting vulnerable groups, and ensuring the long-term stability of the country.
How to implement it so as to reduce resistance requires some skills and opportunities.
Another thing is to encourage childbirth and increase the population. Although some policies have been formulated before, for example, if people give birth to two or more children, ten acres of land will be allocated for each additional child, and the government will provide corresponding support fees, etc.
These are all good measures, which will play a positive role in rapidly increasing the population. However, there are also many disadvantages. For example, the government's provision of corresponding support fees will greatly increase the court's expenditure. Therefore, they all need to be improved.
Although the pair of melons on Xu Ruoshi's chest were not as big and plump as Hong Niangzi's, they were still very comfortable to lean on. Qin Mu nudged his head in her arms, and a faint crisp fragrance wafted into his nose.
Well, we can’t put all the blame on the people. We also have to work hard to have more children.
Qin Mu's mouth curled up slightly. Li Xiangjun, who brought him tea, saw it and couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty, is there any good news?"
"I went to Da Ci'en Temple and gained some insights."
"Your Majesty, if you have any insights, can you tell me so that I can also understand them, hehe."
In private, when speaking in a friendly tone, Li Xiangjun was still accustomed to calling herself "slave" instead of "concubine".
Qin Mu held her on his knees, kissed her on the cheek and said, "For example, in this happy event, happiness comes from the heart. In fact, it has nothing to do with the event. If you have a good attitude, you can still maintain happiness even if nothing good happens."
"Nunu understands. Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself..."
"Stop, stop, stop. You've stolen my limelight." His Majesty the Emperor of Qin was a little angry and ashamed. He had gained a lot of insights, but in the end, his insights were not as insightful as others'. How embarrassing was that.
Li Xiangjun looked terrified, and her beautiful features made people feel pity for her: "I know my crime, please punish me, Your Majesty."
"Ahem, how should I punish him? I have to think of a new way tonight!"
"Hehe... Your Majesty is the worst."
Li Xiangjun couldn't help laughing, she lay on her lover's lap, smiling sweetly and looking at him with her beautiful eyes.
Looking at her delicate features and exquisite figure, Qin Mu couldn't help but think of her extremely tight vagina, as thin as a chicken intestine, and her unbearable posture with delicate voice. For a moment, his anger rushed to his Dantian and his blood surged.
"Ah!" Li Xiangjun suddenly felt something pressing against her buttock groove. She couldn't help but let out a soft cry, and a blush appeared on her beautiful face.
Qin Mu stroked her jade pigeon with one hand and lifted her palace skirt with the other, which made Xu Ruoshi's body soften... ... ... .
