Chu Wangqi tried his best to sing and drink with Xiang Yan, in fact, he intended to take the opportunity to take the power of the nobles as his own.

Although the transfer of the people's management power to the central government is not the resumption of the army.

But it is conceivable that labor, taxation, military resources, etc. are all from the people. If the people at the bottom are lost, the nobles and the army are actually castles in the air. It is only a matter of time before all kinds of power are restored to the center.

But who are the nobles of Chu?

Chu Wangqi would think of this, but how could the old treacherous nobles not think of it?

As soon as Xiang Yan's voice fell, there was no sound in the hall. All the nobles, look at me and I look at you. Although it was tacit, they all understood Chu Wangqi's intentions.

When Chu Wangqi saw that the nobleman was not talking, he pushed forward:

"What do you think the general suggested?"

"I can collect taxes and grains like Qin, although it is less, but it can alleviate the people's worries about losing."

"It's the saying,'Brothers are frustrated by the wall and guard against their insults outside.'"

"At the moment the Qin army is under pressure, if we wait for the same method to fight Qin together, I'm afraid..."

The latter words do not need to be said by King Qiduo of Chu. Of course, it is difficult to resist the attack of Qin army with the scattered power of Chu Kingdom.

From an objective point of view, Chu Wangqi's words really make sense.

The Qin army only had more than 200,000 soldiers, while the Chu army had 400,000.

Although the quality of the Chu army is not as good as that of the Qin army, it is not enough to destroy the country with twice the strength.

So the biggest problem here is disunity.

But since ancient times, "disunity" has not been able to be solved like Chu Wangqi hoped, and it can be solved with a few words and a little external pressure.

Almost all "disunity" needs war, blood and repression to resolve.

The reason is simple, nobles have their own interests, and they represent a family rather than themselves.

For example, the Zhao clan that Zhao Xie wants to consider must be agreed by all the Zhao clan.

The same is true for Qu Wei and Jing Yu.

In other words, these people who participated in the meeting did not even have the right to speak, they had to go back to discuss with the tribe.

Therefore, Chu Wangqi's phrase "reform" is simple to say, but it needs the approval of thousands of people.

As the saying goes, "it's hard to tune in", it's impossible to reach agreement by itself.

What's more, the nobles have other worries:

If today the management power of the people is handed over, will the military power be handed over tomorrow?

If the military power was handed over, would Chu Wangqi avoid any worries, would he take the nobles in the air or even find an excuse to copy them all?

This is not a joke. If one is not good, it will be "destroyed". How can it be possible to easily pass the handle of the knife into the hands of others?

Not even Chu Wangqi!

After being silent for a while, Zhao Xie replied:

"Back to the king, the Weichen thought..."

"It is feasible to resolve the worries of the loss of the people by reforms."

"However, the rich and the poor are uneven, and the land occupation is different, so the subordinates believe that the various ethnic groups should make their own reforms in different situations."

"Only in this way can the weight be appropriate."

The nobles said yes.

At this moment, the king of Chu was choked... The reform should be a unified change from the top to the bottom of the country. The nobles in various regions changed themselves, and they still practiced their own methods.In the end, isn't it that the separatist regimes of different races cannot be unifiedly deployed?!

But Chu Wangqi couldn't help it.

Because what Zhao Xie said is also reasonable, if it is just to solve the Qin Chu system balance problem to bring the people back, it is really only necessary for the various ethnic groups to reform their own laws. Why do you need Chu Wangqi to participate?

On the other hand, at this time, King Qi of Chu had no more than one hundred thousand soldiers, which was similar to the strength of the three tribes, so he spoke much less.

Therefore, the king of Chu Qixin didn't dare to attack even though he was angry, and the meeting was so depressed and scattered.

This is also one of the reasons why Shen Bing used propaganda warfare instead of sending troops to attack directly.

If you send troops to attack directly...it hurts the nobles even to the point of extermination, then the clan will be destroyed anyway, why not fight to unite with other clan and even Chu Wangqi?

At that time, it was Chu Wangqi who asked the nobles to hand in management and military power, and they could only agree.

Otherwise, the nobles in the front will be annihilated by the Qin army, but Chu Wangqi can hide in the Dongting behind to watch the battle. If it is impossible, Chu Wangqi can continue to retreat south into the Baiyue dense forest...

But now, this method of peeling off the cocoons and boiling the frogs in warm water is a little bit weakening of the power of the nobles. The nobles still have room for relaxation, so they cannot be unified.

But the nobles really changed their laws after returning.

Although it is a bit painful: the people who originally belonged to the private property of the nobles and belonged to the status of serfs, have now become farmers and only need to pay taxes to own the land.

And the tax rate is the same as that of Qin State, which is twelve taxes and one tax.

Some nobles, such as the Zhao clan, also lowered the tax rate to 15%.

The nobles are obviously right to do so.

Because it is obvious, or the unchanging law does not give the people the same benefits, what is the use of leaving the land after the people run away?Isn't it going to be occupied by the Qin army in the end?

This matter was reported to Shen Bing, that is, the number of Chu Min who came to descend was immediately reduced.

At the beginning, Shen Bing didn't know what was going on. He thought that Chu Jun had used any method to keep Chu Min under control.

Until Yang Duanhe walked into his handsome account with a piece of information...

Yang Duanhe first saluted Fusu, and then said to Shen Bing:

"The State of Chu has begun to reform."

"Zhao's even lowered the tax rate to 15 tax one."

So Shen Bing realized that these guys used this trick.

After thinking about it, Shen Bing asked:

"Zhao's tax rate is fifteen and one tax...that is, the tax rate of each race is different?"

Yang Duanhe nodded and said:

"It is indeed different, but the highest tax is only one twelve."

Hearing this Shen Bing was relieved.

Fusu felt a little strange when she heard it, and asked:

"Why does the lieutenant care about Chu's tax rate?"

Fusu believes that the focus at this time should be how to solve the problem of equal tax rates in Qin and Chu.

Shen Bing explained:

"My son, the tax rates of different races are different, that is, the princes of the Chu Kingdom have not yet united, so it is still a mess."

Fusu gave an "Oh", nodded slightly and felt ashamed in his heart.

This is actually no wonder Fu Su, since he grew up following Chun Yuyue, he only knew how to read and practice calligraphy and learn from the teachings of the saints.

In short, even though the theory of Fusu's study is correct, it still stays in theory instead of practice.

At this time, Fusu served as the supervising army beside Shen Bing, but it was a thorough practice.

Shen Bing also wanted to test Fusu, which is also a kind of respect.

He asked Fusu:

"The son thought... how should I solve it later."

Fu Su immediately looked confused.

He is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and for a while, he will know what to do.

After frowning for a while, he replied:

"I may continue to reduce the tax rate to recruit Chu Min."
