In the past, the Wei State relied on war to plunder the property and land of other vassal states. Other than that! They also took away the populations of the defeated countries and became the subjects and slaves of their countries. Those who obey their Wei kingdom become the subjects of their Wei state. Those who do not obey are all slaves.

What is a slave? It is a person who only works and has no freedom. Let them do hard work, how much they must do in a day. If you can't do it, you'll be beaten. If you resist, you can only die.

If you work honestly, complete the assigned tasks every day, and gain the trust of the leader, then you can get the corresponding rights. Gradually! You will be able to change the status of a slave.

In general! The people who have just been taken captive have no rights, they are purely slaves. It took a few years to change his fate.

Peng Zhou's father and mother were both natives of Qin, but after the defeat of Qin, Wei migrated the Qin people from the original land to various parts of Wei, named Wei people, who were actually slaves of Wei. If you don't resist, it will take years to change your identity.

When it started! The people of Qin were not aware of this provision of Wei. Later, I learned about this policy of Wei, so everyone became refined, and they had to be a "obedient people" and "good citizen", so as to get the same treatment as Wei people. But! The hearts of these people are not convinced. So! They often exploited the loopholes of Wei's law.

For example! Peng Zhou's father and mother came up with a way to pretend to be dead, and they could still receive Wei's subsidy if they didn't accept Wei's military service.

In the Wei Kingdom! There are not only people from Qin like this, but also people from neighboring defeated countries such as Korea and Zhao. These people! None of them can enjoy the treatment of real Wei people.

These people are called Wei people, and they are actually against Wei. When the Wei State was strong, they had no choice. Once the Wei State declined, these people all became opponents of the Wei State, thus exacerbating the speed of the Wei State's decline.

During the period of Wei's strength, it not only treated the people of the defeated country, but also imposed taxes on the land of the defeated country. Didn't Wei occupy your land? So! The taxes of the people of this land were heavier than those of the natives of Wei. Thus forcing the defeated state to recover the lost territory, or to hand over the land deed to (cede) the Wei state. Or! A large ransom was given to the Wei state.

Otherwise! The people of this land will resent the king for not being able to take care of his own people. forced these subjects to submit to Wei, and in order to survive, they were willing to be Wei people, accept Wei's migration policy, and migrate to various parts of Wei to be Wei people.

In short! Do everything you can to weaken the defeated country and strengthen yourself
