400 Mongolian State Policy
King Qin thought that Shang Wen was not the kind of person who was greedy for power, and King Qin came to a conclusion when he told the story of "Rain Man" through Shang Wen. Shang Wen has a pursuit, which is relatively ethereal. But it is very rare for someone to insist on himself for the sake of this pursuit.
In Shangwen's view, it costs a government expense to build an office space. This is highly undesirable. Because, right now, government spending is unusually tight. Nervous to death. Shang Wen thinks that such a tight expenditure is well worth it. Because of low taxes, it will bring great prosperity to their own country, and the mercantilism of those years is to achieve the development of commerce under the condition of low taxes. And this will lay a more solid foundation for Qin's capitalism. Sacrifice for such a solid foundation. Shangwen thinks it's worth it. Even very cheap and inexpensive. Because government spending doesn't need to be that big. As long as the people are given enough freedom, their path to development will be smooth.
After the visit, King Qin didn't say anything more. And Yingyu also left with King Qin. But when he left, he looted all the good things that Shangwen had here. Even the gramophone was confiscated by Yingyu. It doesn't matter if it's Shangwen, that gramophone is originally a museum thing. Shangwen doesn't care, there are better ones.
This is the end of Shang Wen's leisure day. The rest of the week is going to be very hectic.
And in the distant state of Mengzhou, the first state of Qin, people are nervously taking out loans to buy land. With the establishment of the first state government, there was a strong need for the government to recognize the land in their hands, or the land they were about to buy. Because the land was brought down by Great Qin, the ownership is Great Qin's. Daqin will sell the land at a very low price for someone who needs it, and the land is very large. The smallest are in a hundred acres. And there is only one family who farms the land. It's very tempting.
The land is very wide, and it is all good land in the plains and valleys. Those plateaus, slopes, deserts are not included in this range. In the bill that became the land in the hands of the people, they drew it up themselves. They thought it should be divided along country roads. In this way, the fortifications are very complete and the road traffic is very smooth. As a result, large tracts of land are divided between country roads.
It is divided from 100 acres to 10,000 acres. Every family has their own field. The larger ones also have their own pastures, which not only farm the land, but also raise horses, and raise cattle and sheep on a small scale. People's lives are improving. And all this is thanks to bank loans. The state government welcomes the presence of banks. Moreover, the state government also borrowed a large amount of money from the bank, 200,000 gold. At the same time, as collateral, the government will mortgage a large amount of land to the banks. Land is simply too cheap. The land plan allocates half of the state to the bank. The government's revenue comes from the formalities and sale of land. The state government pays 30% of this amount through the bank, and the rest is used for government spending. And the state government will use the money to organize militias, build roads, and form schools. All of their practices come from Shangwen's exemplary role. They explore themselves bit by bit through the imitation of the newspaper. Moreover, there is anything that needs to be approved by the Parliament, especially when a sum of money is allocated. So. Spending is very public.
The state government, in order to increase its revenue, will have to adopt an encouraging, supportive attitude to attract a large number of civilians to the state, since the state government has ten years of free taxation power. This is something that Shang Wen has specially delegated. Originally, this power was central. But in order to control the newly occupied land, this power was temporarily granted to local governments. Local governments are well aware of what this power means. They eliminated all customs duties in the state. This is to welcome more civilians into the state, as long as they pay a certain amount of taxes, they can become civilians in the state. The rights enjoyed by all the commoners of the state, in order to encourage the development of commerce. They built small towns at the intersection of roads, and the main roads, especially the roads leading to the Western Regions, grew very fast, and gradually expanded in size, to the size of a small city. And the city, like the new city of Daqin, does not have any fortifications. The abolition of fortifications was not only a matter of government spending, but also a gradual increase in the importance of commercial activity among the people. It's full of people who go treasure hunting in the West. Expeditions, immigrants from the six countries, armies, security companies and much more. A large number of businesses began to move in. Make it easy for these people. This is why the town quickly grew into a city.
For the defense protection of the state, the state government has temporarily entrusted these matters to the security company, which they believe is a very cost-effective thing. The government only needs to contribute 10,000 gold. A lot of security companies will get involved. They train militias in the rear and search for minorities in the front. Moreover, the booty was privately owned, allowing a large number of cattle, sheep, and prisoners of war to enter the state. And the peasants of the state also began to be like the land lord of Xianyang, who could get two slaves for only one and a half taels. Because there are a lot of slaves here, and then for a little money, ask the security company to watch over them and let them enter the land to work. Large-scale cultivation of wheat. And the peasants, on horseback and carrying guns, went back and forth.
For these slaves, the Qin people and the people of the Six Kingdoms didn't care at all, and even the people of the Six Kingdoms were even more ruthless than the people of Qin, because these people were nomads, they didn't know how to farm at all, and being beaten became commonplace. In the eyes of the people of the Six Nations. They are dumber than pigs. If there is the slightest mistake, the whip and club will be called. Sometimes when I don't understand my anger, I hang him alive and beat him to death. Atrocities happen every day. The nomads rose up to resist, and the bullet pressure happened every day, and before it happened, a large number of ethnic minorities would die. But soon new prisoners of war came in. And gradually, this elastic pressure is a little less. The reason is that the personnel of the security company have begun to enter the Qilian Mountains and even the territory of today's Qinghai to capture prisoners of war, Yueshi, Qiang, Xiongnu, Wusun, and even some unknown tribes, due to cultural and linguistic differences, which have led to fierce internal struggles. They fought among themselves, which provided an opportunity for the bullet pressure to be reduced by more than half. As the newly established states absorbed slaves from most of the West. The price of slaves in Xianyang has risen. Farmers in Xianyang set their sights on the north.
