Chapter 235: Two big black cauldrons, there is no doubt about the pot
Since accepting the idea of one king, the Qin state implemented a moderate Huairou policy in the newly occupied areas, which included encouraging the local people to learn the style of the Qin state, wearing the clothes of the Qin state, speaking the language of the Qin state, and those who did well were rewarded, and those who were proficient in the Qin language were given priority to be admitted to the school.
In order to eliminate the resistance of the local people, the Qin State ordered the officials not to treat the people of the occupied areas differently, and also selected a group of reliable young people, let them learn the laws of the Qin State, to serve as local officials, they took the land of the noble, distributed the slaves of the nobles to the meritorious soldiers, and redistributed the local land to the low-level people who had no arable land and were attached to the nobles.
Ma Fujun once told the King of Qin that as long as the people in the occupied areas lived better and more people enjoyed the benefits of the Qin State, the Qin State could truly be a king of the world. King Qin was able to treat everyone equally, he did not force the local people to move as before, and did not even levy high taxes on them, and reduced their conscription and taxes for the first time, and the people of Shangdang really lived a better life than when they were Koreans.
However, such an approach is obviously a double-edged sword, with advantages and disadvantages. The original wars of the Qin state were completed by rewarding the soldiers who fought with the materials of the conquered areas, because in this way, the soldiers of the Qin state were brave and good at fighting, and they were eager to fight, because the Qin king would reward them with the material wealth of the places they had conquered, increase their titles, and give slaves to match them to cultivate for them.
And now, the Qin State wants to treat everyone equally, this reward is naturally a little insufficient, Fan Ju's advice to the King of Qin is: use the property of those big nobles and rich families to reward soldiers, if this is still not enough, then reduce the number of soldiers and soldiers, and reclaim more wasteland.... Of course, the benefits are more, since the implementation of the Huairou policy by the Qin state, there have been no more rebellions in the newly conquered areas in the past.
The Shangdang people were wearing the clothes of the Qin State, and if it weren't for the lame Qin language, they wouldn't have been able to tell that they were originally Koreans. The laws of the Qin State were also implemented very quickly here, and the Qin State directly put on the coat of the horse service king, saying that what he was implementing was benevolent government, and his own laws were used to protect the people... It can be said that the strategy of attacking the heart is not only in war, but also in politics.
Not only in Shangdang, but also in the areas ceded by Chu and Wei, the Qin State also implemented such a policy... It even attracted many fleeing Chu and Wei people, which made all countries very frightened, and hurriedly lowered the tax rate and put on the cloak of benevolence for themselves. It's a pity that they don't have the same conditions as the Qin State, which has a very perfect grassroots bureaucratic system, with detailed laws to refer to, officials who know the laws to enforce them, and selfless supervision to supervise all this.
In other countries, the decision of the upper echelons to reduce the tax rate only made the officials at the bottom richer, and did not play any other role, the same system can be implemented in the Qin State, and in other countries, even if it is implemented, there will be no gain, only the country will become poor, the people will become poor, and only the officials in the middle will become richer. As a result, Wei and Zhao began to establish a supervision system.
It's a pity that the role of this supervision system is also limited, and the officials of the Qin State do not dare to bend the law for personal gain, let alone corruption... On the one hand, it is because of the laws of the Qin state, and on the other hand, it is because of the political perfection of the Qin state. For example, the tax revenue of the Qin State is all counted, truthfully reported, constantly monitored, verified, and even the income and expenditure of the officials are recorded in detail. Hehe, then wait for Qin Lu's sanctions.
But other countries don't have this, let alone record the expenses of officials, even the state's expenditures are all messy... I can't find it out at all.
This is a kind of crushing from the system, this is not something that Bai Qi, Fan Ju, or Zhao Kuo can change, after a hundred years of law changes, the Qin State has already left the Six Kingdoms behind, and it is difficult to catch up. The Qi State, which ranks second in the number of officials, has more than 12,000 grassroots officials, and the Qin State, which ranks first, has more than 100,000 grassroots officials.... This is very terrifying, this depends on the school system of the Qin State, the military merit system, which can continuously select useful talents from the grassroots level, but other countries still need to recommend....
This is not the same level in terms of quantity and quality.
And when the Qin people started a war, these Qin officials would serve as officers... So that the Qin army formed a strong combat effectiveness.
Wang Ji, the county guard of Shangdang County, has been very unhappy these days, of course, the Qin people are not very happy, but the Qin people are because of Wu Anjun's death, and Wang Ji is because of Zheng Anping. Wang Ji has always felt that his talent is not inferior to Zheng Anping, but after Fan Ju served as the Minister of State, he recommended him, but forgot about himself, Wang Ji went to meet several times, only to get Fan Ju's recommendation, when Zheng Anping surrendered, Wang Ji really gloated in his heart.
Aren't you in a hurry to recommend him? See how he repaid you?
However, before he had time to celebrate, he heard the news that Zheng Anping had become a feudal monarch in Zhao State, which made Wang Ji confused, what kind of character is Zheng Anping, he knows best, Zheng Anping can serve as a feudal monarch in Zhao State? And what about yourself? Wang Ji is in the party, it can be said that he has suffered a lot of grievances, because of the importance of the party, he has to deal with a lot of things, and every time he does a little badly, he will be reprimanded by King Qin.
Every year, the counties of Qin have to compare, compare whose output is higher, whose household registration increases faster, and Wang Ji has been at the bottom for two years, if it weren't for the newly occupied area of Shangdang, and there was a war, he would have been in a prisoner's car and rushed to Xianyang to be punished. Wang Ji was naturally very remorseful, and he also found that no matter what he did, the party would still be like this, and there would not be much progress at all, and being at the bottom twice was enough to kill him.
Sitting in the mansion, Wang Ji took another sip of wine, and then sighed.
His disciples sat around, not many, only four people, these people knew that Wang Ji was in a bad mood, and they just drank with him in silence, Wang Ji put down the wine cup, patted the case in front of him, and shouted: "Please think of a way to do it with the second and third sons, this year is going to be compared, there are not many people in the party, and the cultivated land is even more scarce, all of them are highlands, if I am at the bottom again this year, I will really go back to Xianyang..."
Hearing his words, several doormen lowered their heads.
One of them raised his head and said, "Head of the house, it's better to... Just slightly increase the number of household registrations, the output of cultivated land..."
"Heh, how can this be fake?? Layer by layer statistics, can I still make everyone in the party change their words? What about the assassins? Wang Ji said helplessly.
The doorman had no choice but to bow his head and said: "This is not fair, how can a land like Shangdang compare to those rich places?" ”
"Alas, even a little bit of political achievement, even a little bit of good! Zheng Anping's house has become a feudal king, but I can only nest here thinking about how to hold my head...", Wang Ji was suddenly stunned, he thought of something, squinted his eyes, and was silent for a long time, then looked at his doormen, and said seriously: "Second and third sons... I have an idea. ”
"Please command."
"What about my second and third sons?"
"You treat us like brothers, and we are willing to die for you."
"Good..."
...........
Zheng Anping looked at the bamboo slip in his hand, and then looked at the person in front of him, his face was dark and annoyed, he took a deep breath, and then let the messenger who delivered the letter sit down and asked, "What does your family master mean?" ”
"The head of the family wants to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and wants to follow the king of Zhao, that is, I want you to take into account the friendship with him, recommend him to the king of Zhao, if you can get the position of the king, the head of the family is willing to dedicate the party to the state of Zhao...", the envoy said, and bowed to Zheng Anping, and said: "You were very good friends with my family master at the beginning, and I hope you can also help complete this matter without betraying your friendship now." ”
Zheng Anping frowned and thought for a long time, then put down the bamboo slip and said seriously: "Please go back and tell Wang Ji not to come to Zhao Kingdom.. I'm also thinking about him, Zhao Guo is not one...", he looked around, but still didn't say anything, just shook his head and said, "You should have never seen me." I'm not going to give this out. ”
The doorman was obviously a little helpless, and he said: "You don't know about the party, because the head of the family has not been able to govern the party well, and Ying Hou wants to punish him, and he has no choice, so he sent me to ask you for help, please remember the friendship with the head of the family in the past." ”
"If you don't want to stay in Qin, you can go to Wei, you can go to Chu, you can't come to Zhao...", Zheng Anping persuaded hard, but no matter what he said, this doorman was stunned and was not convinced, he just kept leaning over Zheng Anping, hoping that Zheng Anping could help him, Zheng Anping saw that he was so resolute, so he had no choice but to stand up, promise him, and take him to see King Zhao.
When Zheng Anping came to the palace with him, King Zhao was reading "The Book of Horse Clothes", reading it with relish, and found that Zheng Anping came to find him, so he was naturally more happy, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
"Wang Ji wants to enter Zhao?" When King Zhao heard this, he immediately laughed, he kindly helped the doorman up, and asked Wang Ji about the situation, he was more eager than the doorman, he said: "Please tell Wang Jun, as long as he can serve the widow, the widow will never treat him badly, and the widow will take out three cities as his food!" Hearing King Zhao's words, the doorman breathed a sigh of relief, and the two chatted for a long time, and then the doorman left.
King Zhao left Zheng Anping, King Zhao smiled very happily, Wang Ji's dedication proved that he had rewarded Zheng Anping was lacking, Yu Qing also persuaded himself at the beginning, saying what not to treat Lian Po badly, now Lian Po has not attacked the Shangdang, and it will become the land of Zhao again, thinking of these, King Zhao smiled even more happily. King Zhao inquired with Zheng Anping about some of Wang Ji's situation, and then ordered a banquet to entertain the ministers.
At night, King Zhao and his ministers drank wine and talked and laughed.
And in Zheng Anping's mansion, a retainer sneaked into his study and copied the letter written by Wang Ji to Zheng Anping....
....
"You mean... King Zhao, no, the emperor wants to give me three cities to serve as food?? Wang Ji's eyes widened, looking at the dusty doorman in front of him, and asked in surprise, the doorman nodded, and said: "King Zhao admires you very much, I heard that you want to go to Zhao, he is very happy, and rewarded me with a lot of things.. He also hopes that you can go to Handan sooner, and he has prepared a banquet in Handan..."
"Hahaha, okay!"
Wang Ji clapped his hands, and then narrowed his eyes again, he said: "The officials of the Shangdang, I have no way to rebel, but I can hold a banquet and kill them all, and the King of Zhao will send someone to answer it, and the Shangdang can be taken down...", he discussed with the guests how to take down the Shangdang and dedicate it to the King of Zhao, and even how to develop in the Zhao State in the future, and who to get close to, the more topics there are.
Just when they were talking about the beautiful imagination of the future, suddenly, there was a shouting and killing sound outside the door, Wang Ji was startled, his doormen hurriedly drew their swords, guarded around him, the shouting and killing was getting closer and closer, listening to someone outside the door fighting, Wang Ji did not hesitate, he was already frightened He hurriedly fled towards the back door with people, when he walked out of the back door, but just saw Shangdang Assassin Shi with soldiers, raised the torch, surrounded here.
Thorn Shi sneered and asked, "Where are you going?" ”
"Heh, I just want to go out for a walk..."
"Do you want to go to Handan for a banquet... Zheng Anping told us everything about you... Is there anything else you have to argue? ”
Wang Ji's eyes widened, staring at the assassin in front of him, he roared, pulled out his sword and rushed towards the assassin, and suddenly, the soldiers fought with his disciples, only a moment later, Wang Ji fell in a pool of blood, and everyone was killed. In his mansion, the assassin found evidence of his collaboration with the enemy, as well as a plan to prepare a rebellion, and in the early morning of the next day, these materials and Wang Ji's head were sent to Xianyang.
......
"What did you say?" , Fan Ju stared at the scout in front of him, his eyes were bloodshot, looking hideous and terrifying.
The scout lowered his head, in front of the marquis, anyone would feel afraid, he said again: "Shangdang County Shouwang Ji collaborated with the enemy, has been executed, the evidence is conclusive, Shangjun is furious, please go to the palace..."
"Collaborators... Surrender... collaborating with the enemy...", Fan Ju muttered a little demonically.
"Poof~~", suddenly, Fan Ju spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.
