The cool night of late summer gradually came to an end, and the red sun of dawn appeared on the horizon again, and seven men and seven horses walked on the bustling official road so unhurriedly.

Occasionally, there are caravans and horses passing by, and they are also in a hurry, but now in this world, they are only relying on the coercion of the first emperor to suppress it, and the chaos has gradually arisen, from the inside and outside of the pass [this pass is Hangu Pass], from Jiangbei Province to Jiangnan, or inside and outside the Hetao, there is a force really brewing, I don't know that day it will erupt.

The reason why there is a qiē unstable factor, or the opposition forces of all parties that are ready to move, is not because the court of the Qin Dynasty is 'erosive', nor because the system of the Qin Dynasty is backward, but because he is too advanced.

Take the Western Han Dynasty in the history of the Celestial Empire as an example.

The entire civil affairs system of the entire Western Han Dynasty was completely copied from the civil affairs system of the Qin Dynasty!

It is completely different from the system of Song Ming in later generations!

Under the policy of arranging households and people, the Han family could even proudly shout to the later Tang and Song Mings: Brother There is no zài hermit here!

Why, you ask?

Because the Western Han government's land tax and conscription policies were quite sharp, they could almost compete with the household registration policy of the Great Heavenly Empire in later generations.

Merchants have city registration, peasants have household registration, soldiers have military registration, slaves have slave registration, and even the court has palace registration!

The powerful civil administration system inherited from the Qin Dynasty enabled the entire Han regime to control almost all of the registered population.

As for what you say about the hidden household?

If you knew how the Western Han government collected taxes, you probably wouldn't have asked that.

The Han government collected taxes by watching the people harvest in the fields on the spot, then weighed them, and then taxed them according to the output......

The apportionment of conscription, on the other hand, is a different method.

These are common sense at this time, and everyone in charge understands them. There is also a book written by Zhang Cang, the former prime minister of Beiping, as a book of governance, which is clearly recorded in the nine chapters of arithmetic, how to collect taxes and how to distribute forced labor.

At the very least, this is still the case at this time.

As for the horn pimple of the far away emperor of the mountain, the possibility of storing the vacuum of zài is naturally two words.

However, Liu Che also found traces of the same system in Hejian Kingdom in his previous life, but it was not as strict as Guanzhong.

In the later two thousand years of feudal dynasties, there was no such scientific and rigorous civil affairs system as the Qin and Han dynasties, because. The landlord Haoqiang began to rise from the Eastern Han Dynasty and began to grasp the authority, and the emperor Lao Tzu also had to compromise with these guys, naturally, it was impossible to compile an all-pervasive network like the Qin and Han dynasties.

It is precisely because of this that the Han government can afford the 30 tax and 1 land tax system.

Because it has a large taxing population, there are basically no zài hidden households.

Even in the case of thirty taxes and one tax, it also created the rule of Wenjing, not only the people's lives are relatively easy, but the burden is relatively small. Even the central government has never been short of revenues.

At the end of the reign of Wenjing, Han Wu was left with a warehouse full of grain in all countries, the ropes in the treasury were rotten, and the horse farms at the border gates had more than 300,000 war horses. The world's largest empire with a population of 50 or 60 million and 5 or 6 million registered households! ’

It's a pity, because it's too advanced, so. On the contrary, it is difficult to be accepted and recognized by people.

On the contrary, after the old Liu family accepted it, various Liu characteristics were introduced, which made it backward and ignorant, but it made the whole country gradually prosperous and powerful.

It can only be said. The rulers of the Qin Dynasty, each of them was an expert in death!

After the fall of the Western Han Dynasty, but what dynasty dared to use thirty taxes to collect taxes?

The fifteen taxes are all about loving the people like children!

Thinking of this, Yan Hong also sighed in his heart.

The systems created and perfected by the Qin people are incomparably close to the system of modern states.

It's a pity that because it's too advanced, it's hard to be accepted and recognized by people. ’

Yan Hong thought about these things for a long time, and at least seven or eight years, summed up the knowledge of the previous life, the information of this life, and so on, before he came to such a general conclusion.

But it was precisely because of this conclusion that Yan Hong himself was taken aback, and it also made him truly realize that some things that are too far beyond the architecture of the times should not be taken out.

Everything is paid attention to step by step.

Secondly, we have to talk about conscription, this system, to put it in layman's terms, is to concentrate on doing big things, and it is done quickly, easily, and quickly, but because of this, it also overdraws the future of the entire country. Not only the Qin Dynasty, but also the Sui Dynasty is a rough bypass.

However, as a traverser, Yan Hong was well aware of the presence in ancient China. What is the cost of a construction spree?

Because of the existence of the conscription system, every time the ruling class levies the people on a large scale, it is actually an overdraft of its future.

For example, Qin Shi Huang built the Afang Palace. The construction of the imperial mausoleum and the construction of the Great Wall overdrew the future of the entire Qin state, and directly led to the uprising of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.

Another example is that Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty built the Grand Canal and went on an expedition to Goguryeo, which overdrew the future of the entire Sui Dynasty, leading the heroes to rise together, and the world was in chaos.

The reason for this is that the construction of large construction projects and wars will inevitably lead to an increasing burden on the people.

When the population can no longer afford it. Then there would be a peasant uprising, and the change of dynasty took place naturally.

But. At a certain point in Chinese history, no matter how the rulers used troops on a large scale and how they built a large number of buildings. The people at the bottom honestly pay taxes according to the rules, abide by the law, obey orders, and work hard.

This was the Warring States Period, which lasted more than 200 years before Qin Shi Huang unified the world.

Throughout the Warring States Period, since the Shang Dynasty changed the law, the Qin people used a kind of extraordinary endurance and determination that will not appear in the next two thousand years to continue foreign wars and build water conservancy internally.

During the war of Qin, Zhao and Changping, the entire Qin State and even the whole country were mobilized, from eighty-year-old people to seven or eight-year-old children, as long as they were able to participate in the war.

Why can the Qin people endure it?

Why can't they endure a more lenient rule than the Battle of Changping after reunification?

The answer is simple.

The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.

During the Warring States Period, before unification, the system of military meritorious lords and famous fields made every Qin person automatically become a part of the Qin State's war plane.

There is definitely a reward for meritorious service in war.

As long as they made a meritorious deed and returned alive, slaves could become freedmen, and yeoman farmers could become landlords.

After reunification, the whole country, from the ruling class to the people, lost its purpose, and even more so, because it could no longer rely on war to gain benefits, the whole country was at a loss.

At the beginning, the Qin people were strong and prosperous, and the invincible military merit lord name field house system in the world eventually became the culprit of destroying it.

The lesson of the Qin people is profound, but it also reminds Liu Che and his followers of a crucial enlightenment: whoever benefits the people, the people will follow whomever they want.

As for the conscription, especially the conscription of the Han Dynasty, from the perspective of the 21st century, there is no doubt that the vast majority of conscription in the Han Dynasty is basically of a public welfare nature.

For example, those two years of military service and half a year of military service, from the perspective of a modern person, are just the national military service system, if in the later Celestial Empire, if you want to be a soldier, you have to give gifts and intercede?

Another example is the repair of bridges and roads and the repair of city defenses, which are very easy to understand people's livelihood projects and national defense projects, and basically the common people of the Celestial Empire in later generations are very fond of such projects. Even some poor places wish there were such projects.

However, at this time, the vast majority of peasants were very reluctant to serve, but those whose families were slightly better off would pay someone to serve on their behalf.

Especially the war. As soon as a normal peasant hears that he is going to the border, he is crying and shouting, but if he can not go, he will definitely not go!

Don't they know? If there was no one to guard at the border, the Huns would have driven straight in. Will they end up living in peace?

The answer is very simple, the people do not see the benefits, but have to pay for it, so that the fool will listen to what kind of nationalism you are talking about, the country, and Huayi's great defense!

This is the root of the Qin Dynasty's crumbling (to be continued......
