After staying at the inn, Peng Yu did not leave at night. I rested for one night and got up early the next day to leave. According to the itinerary of King Qin, it will take two days and one night. Today one day and one night, tomorrow another day, you can get home.

Of course! They won't be that long. They walked alone on horseback, while the King of Qin marched in a procession. The progress of the team is not as fast as that of the horseback, and then there are the infantry.

According to Peng Yu's past experience, today he will travel for a day and rest for a while at night. You can arrive in Xianyang tomorrow morning, and you can go home around noon.

The official roads in Qin are particularly spacious, probably because Qin is a military power, right? For the convenience of the march. Only in difficult places, the road surface is narrow. When encountering the river, there are pontoon bridges on both sides of the main bridge.

When you arrive at the boundary of Xianyang, there is a checkpoint in a dangerous area. And! The checkpoints are very rigorous. It's not enough to have an ID card, you also have to have a record of your trip along the way. Other than that! Also have your origin and destination.

Especially for foreigners, you must have a "visa on arrival" after you enter the border of Qin. Where you enter the customs from, you must be issued by this checkpoint for the internal pass of the Qin State. Where did the pass say where you came from? Where are you going, and where are you going to pass through?

If you didn't mark your itinerary according to the "Visa on Arrival" and suddenly came out of nowhere, then! Congratulations! The prison of Qin is waiting for you. You can't prove that you're not a spy, and it's impossible to let you out.

You can't prove that you're not a spy within the legal date, then! After that, he had to serve the enslavement of the Qin State. This one! It is the same as the "slave law" of Wei, which is equivalent to picking up a laborer who does not need to be paid and only eats for nothing.

For the Qin locals, it was not so strict.

Furthermore! The people of Qin are all law-abiding and law-abiding, and they will not make such low-level mistakes.

Peng Yu has a pass issued by the military, so it is naturally unimpeded.

For military personnel, there is a separate inspection channel at the checkpoint. Just like the "green lane" of modern society, the trucks transporting vegetables are unimpeded. No! It's like the passage of soldiers and two commissioners in places such as train stations.

While Peng Zhou was hurrying with Peng Yu, he kept an eye on the domestic situation of the Qin State. Although I did not have specific contact with the local people of Qin, we can roughly know from the scene I saw: the reason why Qin was strong was because of the Shang Dynasty reform.

If the Qin State had not carried out the Shang Dynasty reform, it would not be as powerful as it is today. Especially! He contributed greatly to the formulation and perfection of the law.

Although the reform of the succession system of the Qin nobility offended the hereditary nobility of the Qin state, it allowed the Qin state to have the capital for reform. This is the foundation of the Shang Dynasty reform, and without this reform, everything else is empty talk.

If the Qin nobles did not release the land, there would be no way to talk about the reform of the Qin state.

Only when the people have land and reduce taxes can they have the enthusiasm to cultivate.

Only when the people can feed themselves can they have the idea of procreation.

Only with the population can the Qin state develop rapidly. The people's life is burdened, and it is difficult for them to support themselves, so where are they willing to have children? So! The population will not go up.

The further you go to the hinterland of Qin, the denser the population becomes. Especially near Xianyang, the population is larger. Almost all fertile land is cultivated with crops.

The villages are also very dense, and there are markets on the other side of the dense villages.

Although Peng Zhou did not go to the market to see it, it can be seen by the number of villagers who come and go to the market: the market is very lively.

The Qin state was a military power and did not value trade. But! There were also foreign goods in the bazaar. These goods, all of which were plundered, were rewarded to meritorious soldiers and leaders of the army.

Therefore! These prizes were then distributed to the bazaar.

The laws of the Qin State were too strict, and it would be difficult for foreign merchants to get along if they were not familiar with the laws of the Qin State. So! Foreign merchants did not dare to come to Qin to do business.

In the state of Qin! It is rare to see foreign businessmen doing retail business. Even the wholesale warehouses are very few.

On the Qin side, in order to encourage business, the nobles of the Qin State had to come forward to conduct large-scale transactions with foreign merchants. The goods were pulled by foreign merchants and traded to the noble merchants of the Qin State at designated places.

"How is our Qin State?" In the evening, Peng Yu asked Peng Zhou.

He noticed that along the way, Peng Zhou was absent-mindedly watching everywhere, looking like a child playful.

"The Qin State has a large population, there are people everywhere, there are villages everywhere, and there are bazaars everywhere." Peng Zhou replied.

"I didn't take you to the market?" Peng Yu asked puzzled.

"Can you see that? So many people coming to and from the market? Isn't it? ”

"This?"

"Whenever we go to the market, there are more pedestrians on the official road. So! As you can imagine, the bazaar is bustling with activity. ”

"When you get home, I'll take you to Xianyang City to have a look! Our Xianyang City, that is called prosperous and lively! ”

"Hmm!" Peng Zhou agreed.

"You've seen it along the way! Isn't it? What is the state of Qi, Song, and Wei? Isn't it? ”

"Yes! The Qi State is better, but there are basically no people in the land of the original Song Kingdom. When I arrived in Wei, the scene was better. But! It's also a look of defeat. At the border between Qin and Wei, that is, our hometown, there is no one to ......."

"Wrong!"

Peng Yu corrected: "According to what their parents and elders say! It was also densely populated before. Later not? Qin's internal strife led to the king's family to compete for the throne, so the Qin state began to fall.

Wei and Korea, Zhao and especially Wei took the opportunity to bully our Qin State, seized the territory of our Qin State, and plundered our Qin people to go to their Wei State.

Isn't it? Daddy, they were captured by the Wei people?

As you can imagine! Year after year! Therefore, the population on the border of the country has been plundered, and the rest dare not live and move away! Alas! ”

"Oh?"

"Whether it is our Qin State or other vassal states, there is not much population on the border. Especially in the military important places, no one dares to live there. There is a war almost every year, and there is no sense of security at all to live there. Often, when the crops are ripe and before they can be harvested, other countries invade. After driving you away, they will come and harvest the crops. Alas! ”

"This?"

"Have you noticed?"

"What?"

"Wars are often around the autumn harvest!"

"Oh?"

"It's either before the autumn harvest or after the autumn harvest."

"Oh?"

"If it's before the autumn harvest, it's usually a surprise, grabbing the crops and leaving. If it is after the autumn harvest, it will generally be a protracted war. Not only did they come to grab food, but they also had food in their own country. If you don't have food reserves, you're having a fight? Peng Yu said.

"This?" Peng Zhou thought to himself: My brother is not bad? He knows all of this, too!

In Peng Zhou's heart, Peng Yu is a martial artist.
