Chapter 563: The Big Family
Qian Rujun didn't know how the Great Han eliminated the wild people. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn Qian Rujun's impression, there are almost no savages in the Han Dynasty, and even those who live in the mountains and forests need to pay taxes, of course, some people may not be able to pay officials, because they are bandits and robbers.
It is estimated that after a long period of development, the regime here has made it easier for the people to be protected by the regime than to survive alone.
As for the deception, it is too late for them to regret it, because the courts of various dynasties are always strong and weak, and even the strongest dynasty, if they encounter the weakest officials, it will make them miserable.
Qian Rujun knew that now was the period of Emperor Liu Heng, which was called the reign of Wenjing in history, which meant that this was a relatively prosperous dynasty.
Even in the history books, it is described that in this dynasty, the ropes that tied the copper coins were rotten, and their money could hardly be spent, and even if the grain rotted in the warehouse, no matter how much they ate the old grain, they could not eat it all.
But since Qian Rujun arrived at this time, he clearly saw that most people were actually hungry.
The productivity of this period is far from enough to feed everyone in this period.
In addition to the reasons for the relatively weak productivity, most of the grain still had to be sent to the landlords' families, as well as to the imperial court.
Qian Rujun knew that because it had to be divided, people would have to be a little hungry, but it would have become that many people would starve to death.
During this period, more people died of starvation than in war.
But even so, most of the people still feel that this era is much better than before, even if the imperial court is almost corrupt, almost over-collected, and there are almost all kinds of bad things, but which era of the past dynasties is not like this?
At least they can survive according to certain rules. In most cases, they can buy a daughter-in-law to carry on the lineage.
During this period, the population was doubling.
During this period, the population did not increase once in 30 years, but once in 15 years, and many people were desperate to survive almost from birth to death.
The mortality rate of children who can't be born is too high, and if they do, they will keep two to three children alive.
But in most cases, they can only feed one or two children, and if they have more children, they may choose the ones that are most likely to survive, and the others will either be sold or drowned.
Even more often than not, it was they who drowned him as a baby.
Even the Dahan stipulates that drowning a child is a crime. There's no way to stop that from happening.
Because most of the government will not convict parents of drowning their children, the population is still a relatively precious property in this period, because the size of the population, in fact, it is related to the wealth of the court.
If there is no one, then how can there be taxes?
After all, the tax policy in this period was still based on people.
In fact, the wild people outside the city do not necessarily mean that they are uneducated.
It's just that they don't communicate with anyone other than the wildlings, and only a few people learn outside languages because they need to trade some salt and stuff.
In the mountains, they have little chance of finding such things as salt, and not eating salt can actually lead to night blindness or other diseases.
Although they don't know this principle, their long-term life experience will let them know that salt is necessary, not to mention that if the food does not contain salt, it is very different from the taste of salt, even if you don't have other seasonings, but salt is necessary.
There are more savages in the mountains and forests. Most of them exist in the form of tribes.
Although the wildlings also imitate and learn, so much so that their tribes have a lot of similarities. But, in principle, there are still many more differences between their tribes than they have in common.
The tribe and the tribe will directly and will fight to obtain the necessary women outside the tribe, because they find that if the tribe does not fight and marries in the tribe, they will give birth to many deformed children.
Moreover, robbery is the principle of getting rich, not only civilized people know, but also savages know that if they can only rob food from other tribes, it will have a very great benefit to their tribal life.
So the wildlings are not actually at peace with each other, but they would rather fight with the wildlings than with the flatlanders, because the weapons in the hands of the flatlanders are not something they can make.
The main reason why they don't live on flat land and don't mix with civilized people is that they can't beat civilized people on flat land, because one of their biggest shortcomings is their lack of weapons.
Because their civilization is closed and lacks learning, even if they want to learn from the flatlanders how to make weapons, the flatlanders are reluctant to tell them, especially the closer to the wildlings' flatland villages, basically the iron-crafting technology is particularly weak.
Their highest technology is often in places where crowds gather and those places are also not easily accessible to people.
There they could be hunted, and the nobility didn't really like savages as their slaves, and even farming required some training.
However, the advantage is that it is cheap, so the average common people are willing to get some people to help them do things.
As for not being able to do things, it doesn't matter, how much they do and how much food they give.
With food as an incentive, they will no longer be able to do things, and they will work hard to learn to do things very quickly, at least they will be able to increase their food, and overall, they will still earn.
Basically, it is not so easy for flatlanders to hit the mountains.
Because when they want to go to the mountains, they have to face the environment in the mountains, and no one is more transparent than the savages than they know about the environment in the mountains.
In the mountains, he has a lot of weapons in his hands and his war equipment, which will lose its effect, and there are many natural things in the mountains and forests, which may in turn become weapons that can be attacked.
Moreover, the physical reaction of the flatland man is no more suitable for activities in the mountains than that of the wild man.
Whatever environment a person lives in for a long time, he will adapt to the local environment.
Obviously, as long as the savage tribe does not sit big on the mountain, the court of Weiman Korea and Mahan and Benhan will not have the energy to attack.
The only tribes they want to exterminate are the tribes that will pose a threat to the imperial court, which is more targeted.
In fact, the local court in Korea was more similar to some of the feudal states of the Zhou Dynasty. Their court, probably composed of a number of retainers, helped them with some chores. Basically, it's in the form of a big tribe.
