At this time, Hu Hai was already dressed in rags, and with an equally cruel and unbearable Meng Bai behind him, no one could recognize that this was the second emperor of the Great Qin Empire.

In addition to the three princes and nine kings of the Great Qin Empire, only Yongcheng Ling Yingzhen knew that Emperor Qin was touring west, and at this time, Hu Hai's whereabouts were still a mystery.

If you enter Xianyang City like this, you will naturally be caught by the city guards.

……

Because Wei Ping was holding a golden arrow, there was no one to stop him along the way, which also made Emperor Qin Hu Hai less troublesome and returned to Xianyang Palace directly.

Because he knows that there are too many things he needs to do at this time, and he must not delay.

"Han Tan, find someone to write a complaint, go to Yongcheng, and sue Songlin Gouli in the name of me, gather people to gamble and drink alcohol......"

"Your Majesty, is there something wrong with this in your name!" Han Tan was silent for a while, then looked at Hu Hai and said, "It's just a pine forest ditch, it's not worth your majesty's fight at all!" ”

"Haha......"

With a sneer, Emperor Hu Hai of Qin paused word by word, and said: "This time, I want the world to know that Qin Fa Zhaozhao, the city guards, the procuratorate, and the court are not decorations. ”

"In my Great Qin Empire, Qin Law is respected, even I can't skip Qin Law to act!"

"Yes!"

Nodding in agreement, Han Tan turned around and left. The firmness in the eyes of Emperor Hu Hai of Qin had clearly told him that this matter was not in doubt at all.

"Come on, bathe and change clothes——!"

"Yes!"

……

Emperor Hu Hai of Qin met Han Tan, and after ordering things properly, he summoned the palace maids to be busy, bathing, trimming his face, changing clothes, and a new Hu Hai appeared in Xianyang Palace after a while.

"Prepare a small feast!" After being silent for a while, Hu Hai looked in front of the bronze mirror for a long time.

"Yes!"

……

This time, Hu Hai didn't chew slowly, even if there was Queen Wang Luo Jie. He drank the rice wine over and over again, thinking about the next step.

Hu Hai knew that at this time, the land measurement work of the ten counties in the country had already achieved results, and the second step of the Great Qin Empire's reform should also be staged.

"Your Majesty, what is the situation in various parts of Great Qin?" Seeing that Hu Hai fell silent for a while, the queen Wang Luo Jie on the side couldn't help but ask.

Growing up in a large family all year round, Wang Luojie only read a lot of books, but she can't really be like a man, and really travel to see the magic of nature.

Therefore, Wang Luojie was full of curiosity about the situation in various parts of the Great Qin Empire.

"The land is barren everywhere, the Great Qin Empire is in ruins, and the years of war have made the old Qin people miserable......"

Speaking of this, Emperor Qin Hu Hai's eyes flashed with solemnity, and he couldn't help but drink a glass of rice wine, sighed, and said: "Today's Great Qin can no longer withstand a war of any scale, which is also the original intention of me to carry out a thorough change!" ”

"But even if it is a change, can it make the old Qin people rich quickly?" Regarding Hu Hai's words, Wang Luojie's heart was full of questions.

She knew that there were no ancients before Shang Ying's reform, and there was no one after him, and it would take twenty years to have a powerful Qin State.

After all, it takes time to measure the matter of changing the law. Without enough time to pile up, it is impossible for the old Qin people to be rich at all.

Glancing at Wang Luojie, Hu Hai shook his head and did not answer. The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and this must be prevented from now on.

Otherwise, it will have a great impact on the future, and even lead to the destruction of the Great Qin Empire.

Looking at the 5,000 years of China, there are too many such examples.

"I believe that the Great Qin Empire will definitely become rich, it will be!" At this time, anyone can be discouraged, but Qin Emperor Hu Hai cannot.

"The concubines also think that the Great Qin Empire will definitely become rich!"

……

In the study room of Xianyang Palace, Emperor Qin Hu Hai and Youxiang Kuaiche were silent, this time measuring the arable land among the ten counties in the country.

In essence, it is also a kind of population census, but looking at the numbers on this statistical bamboo slip, Hu Hai is quite dumbfounded.

"Right Xiang, are you sure that the entire Great Qin Empire now has only six million people? The entire territory of Daqin is only 730,000 square kilometers, right, there is no error in these statistics? ”

When the real number was placed in front of Hu Hai's eyes, he completely understood how broken the Great Qin Empire was today.

So much so that at that moment, he couldn't believe it. So, Hu Hai looked at the right minister, wanting to get a definite answer.

"Your Majesty, according to the measurement of the ministers, and at the same time comparing the previous palace records of the Great Qin Empire, the current internal history covers an area of 63,293 square kilometers and a population of 2.25 million."

"Upper County: An area of 94,609 square kilometers and a population of 300,000. Northland County: It covers an area of 147559 square kilometers and has a population of 210,000. ”

"Jiuyuan County: an area of 52,650 square kilometers and a population of 200,000. Sanchuan County: It covers an area of 28,223 square kilometers and has a population of 300,000. Hedong County: It covers an area of 36,270 square kilometers and has a population of 500,000. ”

"Longxi County covers an area of 68,569 square kilometers and has a population of 230,000, while Hanzhong County covers an area of 87,541 square kilometers and has a population of 300,000."

"Ba County, with an area of 125855 square kilometers and a population of 700,000. Shu County covers an area of 106887 square kilometers and has a population of 1 million. ”

Speaking of this, the right minister Kuaiche arched his hand at Hu Hai and said, "This is only the total area of each county, and the entire population. ”

"According to Chen's calculations, the total cultivated land area of the Great Qin Empire is less than 350,000 square kilometers, and the young and strong population is less than 2 million."

"In addition to the official population and the army, the current Great Qin Empire has a serious shortage of young and strong population, which means that in the future, the Great Qin Empire will have an embarrassing situation where no land is cultivated."

"Hoo ......"

With a long exhale, Hu Hai pondered for a moment and said, "Since this is the case, then break the jar and break it, right minister, and immediately announce it to the people of the ten counties of Great Qin." ”

"From today onwards, all the common people in the Great Qin Empire will be uniformly enslaved, and the harshness will be restricted, so that the tax will tend to be stable."

"From today onwards, we will break the previous tax system in which acres of land are taxed, and servants are collected by households, and in addition to the assignment, there are a variety of additional taxes such as square goods and soil tribute."

Hu Hai's eyes flashed with a touch of solemnity, and he said to the right minister: "From now on, all taxes and labor will be simplified into one." The land will be attributed to the land and collected by the mu; Changed forced labor to hired labor, and the imperial court hired people to serve on their behalf. ”

"Yes!"

Nodding in agreement, Kui Che was a little excited, he could understand Emperor Qin's thoughts Hu Hai. After the implementation of the new law, due to the unification of the enlistment, it was difficult for officials at all levels to set up names.

From then on, the disadvantages of taxation and labor were cleared, so that taxes tended to be stable, and the people of the Great Qin Empire would be able to settle down a little.
