Shuang Daqin comparison, no comparison, no harm

“Li Si, how to fill the treasury?”

Ying Zheng’s face was serious.

Whether the treasury is empty or not is related to the rise and fall of a country.

For example, the later Ming Dynasty.

Officialdom is corrupt, colluding with businessmen, making most of the money, so that the state does not collect taxes.

In the end, if I wanted to recruit troops for the Northern Expedition, I couldn’t get the money.

Just don’t have any money!

Soldiers ask for money, horses for money, equipment for money, grain and grass for money.

Hundreds of thousands of troops, with nearly a million dollars spent every day.

The treasury simply can’t take it out!

The result?

The army either disbanded and did not work, or it was bought by the enemy at great expense and rebelled.

So.

Money in the treasury, especially important!

Now.

The State of Qin was facing thorny trouble again.

They also ran out of recruitment.

Li Si’s eyes showed fierceness, and he said resolutely: “Raise taxes, ten dollars and seven taxes!” ”

Ten bucks and seven taxes.

That is, if the common people earn ten dollars, they have to pay a tax of seven dollars to the Qin State.

Compare with the Han Dynasty.

The grain tax in the Han Dynasty was thirty taxes and one.

That is.

The people collected 100 catties of rice, and only needed to hand over 3.3 catties of grain to the government.

And Lees proposed ten dollars and seven taxes.

That’s about 21 times the taxes of the Han Dynasty!

That’s a heavy tax!

It is equivalent to a year of hard work for the people, except for leaving some food for themselves to ensure that they do not starve to death.

The rest of the grain.

All of them must be handed over to the government….

For the people, life is better than death!

“Ten bucks… Seven taxes…”

Hearing this amazing ratio, even Yu Zheng himself was stunned.

Look at it this way.

The people of the Qin Kingdom can no longer be said to be people!

It’s livestock!

And cows, sheep and pigs are no different!

They are all fed a little food, and let them work hard.

“King!”

Li Si lowered his voice and said deeply.

“Bitter people for a while, benefit the great Qin for all generations!”

“Come to Japan and conquer the other six countries, and the king will be an old Qin again, can’t he be tax-exempt for three years!”

“Don’t say three years!”

“As long as the king wins the world!”

“It is not impossible to give the old Qin people a tax exemption for five years, and it is not impossible to be exempt from tax for ten years!”

“King!”

Lees is a pragmatic person.

His ultimate ideal is to assist the government to rule the world and promote the laws he formulated to the world!

So his goal is clear.

As long as it can fulfill the ideal.

What does it matter if you temporarily wronged the old Qin people?

This time.

Ying Zheng was moved again….

After all.

It is human instinct to draw a pie and seek comfort for yourself and alleviate guilt.

As an emperor of the ages, he will not be an exception.

“Lees, you’re right.”

“Although today let the old Qin people suffer grievances.”

“But when the oligarchs rule the world, they can repay the old Qin people.”

“Widows, will not be sorry for them.”

However.

The opposite is true.

The Qin state oppressed the old Qin people until the fall of the Qin state, and it did not stop.

Winning the words.

It’s all about alleviating your guilt.

“So, King!”

Seeing that Huan Zheng was relieved, Li Si was excited.

“In order to fill the treasury, for the Qin army to be strong and strong!”

“Ten dollars and seven taxes, it will be promoted!”

After a comforting call from Lees.

Ying Zheng also made up his mind.

“Good!”

“Just ten dollars and seven taxes, Li Si, you will be responsible!”

Hear this.

Lees was happy to jump into a laser rain.

“Thank you, King!”

“In the future, the Great King will never treat the old Qin people badly!”

Said.

Lees withdrew.

The screen turns.

It’s autumn harvest season again.

The people were collecting grain in the fields, and many officials were patrolling the fields.

Whenever the people finished their grain.

The people in the government will directly take away seven-tenths, leaving only a pitiful thirty-tenth to the people.

And therefore therefore.

The people were unmotivated.

One by one, they swallowed slowly, feeling that life was hopeless.

“Old man, finished collecting?”

Then.

An old woman collected all her grain with the help of her son.

The officers and soldiers also surrounded with grinning.

“Official, it’s over…”

The old woman was a little scared and hid behind her son.

The son felt a pain in his heart.

Ask.

“Official, do you really have to pay seventy percent of the grain tax?”

“If I really hand it over, it will be a problem for my family of four to eat.”

Several officers and soldiers shook their heads helplessly.

“Brother, we can’t help it.”

“This is the order of the great king.”

“But don’t be sad, the king said, when he gets through this difficult time, he will pay you back twice.”

“This is called bitter first and then sweet, as the people of the Qin Kingdom, of course, you must dedicate to the Qin Kingdom.”

“The so-called strong country can make the people prosperous.”

“Without national strength, where will the people be rich?”

But.

Lies like that.

The people have heard it I don’t know how many times.

But there is nothing to be done.

After all.

They have no weapons and cannot resist.

Resistance can also be beaten to death, and even implicate the whole family and implicate the surrounding neighbors.

Sitting method.

Let everyone in the Qin Kingdom dare not refuse the exploitation of the official government.

Reluctantly.

The son of the old woman still handed over seventy percent of the grain.

At last.

Only thirty percent of the grain remained, remaining in front of him.

The old woman howled.

“We are a family of four, how can we live in the future!”

The son comforted: “Mother, don’t be afraid, my wife and I will eat less in the future.” ”

Similar scenario.

In all parts of the Qin Kingdom, it happened one after another.
