Chapter 461: The old man is indispensable

The state of Chu was prepared and allied with the state of Qin, and the plan of the state of Wei fell through again. I originally wanted to make a fortune from the war, but the result was a loss of soldiers.

Qin Xiaogong and Shang Ying of the Qin State happened to be worried that there was no chance to send troops. After receiving the alliance letter from the Chu State, he naturally agreed. Just when the alliance between Wei and Korea attacked Chu and was surrounded by Chu, Qin sent troops.

Since Shang Ying arrived in Qin, since Qin Xiaogong reused Shang Yang to revitalize Qin, since the reform of Qin, Qin has not sent troops on such a large scale. After secretly training and preparing for war for so many years, it was the first time that the Qin State showed its sword.

Qin Xiaogong and Shang Ying both called this war the "rising war" of Qin. From then on, the Qin State was no longer passively beaten, but had to take the initiative to attack. As long as there is an opportunity for war, it will take the initiative.

The current state of Qin has reached the time when it can fight and develop rapidly.

The current Qin State has solved two major problems: one is the food problem, and the other is the population problem.

Under the reform of Shang Ying, the land was fully liberated. When the peasants have land and pay less taxes, their enthusiasm for farming will rise.

In the past, the landlord paid taxes on the land, and he did not get much. A variety of more crossing, less planting and less handing, no planting and no handing. Under this policy, farmers are reluctant to farm.

A variety of more than one is equivalent to doing it in vain, who wants to farm?

Furthermore! The population at that time was small. After decades of war, the population is already small, and it is still disabled.

If you have a disabled person in your family, you can get some tax relief. Even! Subsidies can be obtained. But! The landlord will not subsidize you.

The land mainly maintains a life of luxury, and does not live a hard life because of state policies.

The state policy is to subsidize the disabled people who have come down from the battlefield, but the landlords will not pay for it themselves. In order to "respond to the policy" and subsidize those who survived on the battlefield, that is, the disabled, they only increased the taxes on the able-bodied.

You let them live a hard life, that's impossible. It is even more impossible for you to let them take out their old money and family funds to subsidize them.

The wool comes out of the sheep, and the king doesn't let our local government subsidize the disabled and meritorious personnel who come down from the battlefield? All right! Let's pay more taxes! Exploiting from the able-bodied.

Outcome! The able-bodied could not afford to pay taxes, so they had to farm less or even no land.

There were not many poor people who farmed the land, but they had to feed a large hereditary aristocracy. The burden on the people is as heavy as you can imagine.

In this high-pressure living environment, you can't support yourself, and your natural fertility rate will decline.

Therefore! The population of the Qin State just can't go up.

Since the Shang Dynasty changed the law, land was used as a reward, which fully mobilized the enthusiasm of the people. Taxes are gone, life is easier, and more people can be fed. Nature! is willing to have children.

Furthermore! Too poor, poor people have very little sex, where will they have children?

In the past few years of recuperation since the reform of the commercial law, not only the grain has risen, but the population has also risen rapidly.

To know! The law of population growth: fifteen, sixteen or seven years is a cycle. Girls develop early, and they can give birth at the age of fourteen, five, or sixteen. Boys develop a year or two later, and they can have children at the age of fifteen, sixteen or seven. Then there's the chicken-and-egg, the egg-and-chicken, endlessly.

Other words! The population cycle is fifteen, sixteen, and seven. After fifteen, sixteen or seven years, there will be no shortage of population.

After these years of development, although the population of Qin has not yet reached the shortage of supply, it can basically be self-sufficient.

After entering the population development cycle, the Qin state could start a war, not only to make war profits through war, just like the Wei state. It can also stimulate rapid population growth and food development.

Because! Shang Ying set a reward system for Qin's army. As long as he has made meritorious contributions on the battlefield, his family can get a piece of land or some kind of reward.

Under this reward system, it not only stimulates the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, but also stimulates the enthusiasm of the people to serve as soldiers.

If they want to get rich and get more land for their families, boys want to become soldiers and contribute to their families. Parents and elders also want their sons to make their families richer.

If the family has land, and does not pay taxes or pays less taxes, life is easy, and it is natural to have children.

If there were more boys in the family, and more boys would serve in the army, would the family be richer?

If the family has more land and more children, does it mean that they are richer?

The battle for the rise of the Qin State, specifically, was thanks to Bai Gui. If Bai Gui hadn't learned from Wei that Wei had attacked Chu with the Korean alliance and passed the news to Chu, Chu might not have been allied with Qin.

If Chu wants to ally with Qin, it can easily fight against Wei and Korea. Otherwise! What kind of alliance is there to do if you have nothing to do? Can't tie up the Qin State?

The state of Chu has always been arrogant, and it regards itself as a hegemonic country, and it looks down on people very much. It is precisely for this reason that the people of Chu are also arrogant, afraid of death, dare not cause trouble, and want to live a peaceful and peaceful life.

What is the saying: Born in sorrow, die in peace?

The people of Chu are accustomed to living a peaceful life, thinking that the world is peaceful.

At this time, the Qin State just needed an opportunity to send troops. With the alliance letter of the Chu State, it was natural that the division became famous and took the opportunity to launch a large-scale war against the Wei State.

But! At this time, the Qin State was still unable to confront the Wei State. So! The Qin State will advance quickly, and it will fight wherever it can reach the Wei State, and it will make war profits first, and stop it after plundering.

And then! When you can confront the Wei State, you will confront it. If you can't fight, withdraw your troops immediately. Do not fight frontal battles, protracted wars, and positional battles with Wei.

If you can fight it, you will fight, and if you can't fight it, you will run, and it will have the flavor of guerrilla warfare.

When the Wei State mobilized a large army to come, it was necessary to test it first. If you can win, hold on. If that fails, withdraw. Outcome! When Wei's 200,000 troops were mobilized, Qin was outnumbered and had to be defeated.

Of course! It's not a complete defeat, it's a deliberate defeat.

And then! Pick up a soft persimmon and pinch it, wave the army south, and collect a piece of land in South Korea.

You can't beat Wei, but it's still okay to clean up South Korea. Although Korea is also a vassal state separated from the Three Jin Dynasty, it is a small country. Korea is small, but it's also a nuisance. Under the persecution of the Wei state, they also participated in the war against the Qin state.

So! Qin State is no matter what your reason, if you start a war against me, I can also start a war against you.

Don't take advantage of it, bastard!

The alliance between Wei and Korea attacked Chu, but because of Chu's preparedness and Qin's sneak attack, although there was no fiasco, there were many losses.

There was no war money, and there were losses, and King Wei Hui naturally couldn't stand it. But? The state of Qin became strong and allied with the state of Chu again. turned around and attacked the Qin State, and there was no oil and water to fish. So! King Wei Hui's breath just can't come out.

King Wei Hui never traded at a loss, and obviously had a reason to attack Qin, but because there was no oil and water, he had to give up.

And at this very time! Zhao reacted against Wei's allies. King Wei Hui, who had no place to sprinkle his anger, happened to find a good place to spread his anger and sent troops to Zhao State.

Nima Di! Lao Tzu can't beat the alliance between Qin and Chu, and Lao Tzu can't beat you Zhao Chenghou? Do!

That's it, Zhao Guo's doom is coming!
