Ma Zhong saw that Sun Shangxiang had a lot of servants around him, and he didn't dare to talk deeply. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

can only answer honestly, "Liu Jingzhou ordered General Biao and Guiyang Taishou Zhao Yun to serve as the Sima of the camp to check the defense of the Jingzhou army. ”

Sun Shangxiang'e frowned, and looked at Zhu Ganglie dissatisfied, "Don't you know the rules, if you kill it, who dares to ask." ”

Fuck me! You great tyrant! It seems that you are Dong Zhuo of the women's middle school, which seems to be not wrong at all.

Ma Zhong deeply felt as if he had been on a thief ship.

Zhu Ganglie went up and said a few words softly.

"Oh?" Sun Shangxiang's eyebrows were raised again.

Then he said with a look of disdain on his face, "General Zhao is a martial artist, what does he know?" ”

"Huh?" Ma Zhong's face was a little weird.

If he guessed correctly, Zhu Ganglie should have told Sun Shangxiang that he had discovered her flaws, but Sun Shangxiang's current performance seems to have diverted the topic.

Could it be that there are really Liu Bei's spies among the people in this hall?

Regardless of whether Sun Shangxiang is Dong Zhuo of the women's middle school or not, or whether she is a tyrant or not, after all, she is the one who takes refuge in herself, and Ma Zhong has no reason to dismantle her platform.

It can only be maintained secretly.

He said righteously, "Madam, the reason why the Han Dynasty rose and the reason why the tyrannical Qin perished was because of the exploitation of the people too much, and now we have a firm foothold in Jingzhou." But don't be reckless. You must know that the people are water, our Jingzhou army is a boat, and water can carry a boat and capsize a boat. ”

Sun Shangxiang glanced at Ma Zhong up and down after listening, and said with a smile, "It's a little interesting." ”

Then he asked, "Since you are reasoning with me, I will also reason with you." I think today's business tax is very unreasonable, it's too low, what do you think? ”

The opponent is right, I have nothing to say.

It's not just too low, it's just too low.

There was a well-known system in the Han Dynasty, which was to emphasize agriculture over commerce.

Nominally, it attached importance to the peasants and cracked down on commerce, but in essence, the emphasis on agriculture over commerce eventually turned into heavy exploitation of peasants and light exploitation of merchants.

Some people may think that it is wrong, the peasant tax in the Han Dynasty was very low, isn't it fifteen taxes and one thirty taxes?

Yes, it's these two ratios, but that's a field tax, it's a positive tax.

But in addition to the regular tax, the Han Dynasty also had a huge additional tax, that is, the poll tax.

The poll tax is divided into ding and oral tax.

What is the basis for the poll tax? The country needs to carry out construction, and it needs the people to make contributions and contribute to serve the conscription.

But what to do when you don't need manpower to do the work? It's easy to do, pay the money, and the country will feel your heart.

The Ding Fu was levied on adults and was one hundred and twenty cents per person per year. As for the oral tax, it is levied on minors.

So during the Han Dynasty, there were often children playing on the street, and an official came over with a smile, "The child is so cute, how old is this year." ”

The child naturally replied, "Mom won't let me talk to strangers." ”

As soon as he saw that the routine was wrong, the official became angry, "What do you see me wearing?" Just tell me how old you are! ”

"Seven-year-old ......"

As soon as he heard this, the official would immediately rush up and hold his little mud-stained hand and shake it vigorously, "Comrade, you are already seven years old, and the country needs you to contribute." Twenty dollars a year, take it. ”

After that, the children were taken to their parents with a confused face.

In addition, the Han Dynasty of Kuanren also had an invention that lacked great virtue, called the salt and iron official camp.

If the people can't eat salt, they will weaken their constitution and suffer from all kinds of diseases.

That's easy, I won't let you eat salt, you can only come and beg me. When the time comes, I will be able to reap a lot of wealth as soon as I sell it at a high price.

However, when a necessity of life becomes a monopoly commodity, it brings with it a very inhuman horror and harm.

The essence of commodities is to make a profit, and the imperial court has to make enough money by selling salt.

It couldn't be easier to do this, and that is to never supply enough salt.

As a result, the skyrocketing price of salt has become a frequent occurrence in any era.

You must know that salt is ingested every day, and the high price of salt will inevitably cause many farmers to be unable to afford salt, and eventually many will die of weakness.

In every dynasty, the people who died invisibly because of the imperial court to earn this money for the monopoly of selling salt will never be less than a big war!

The situation was similar with iron tools, with the result that the development of the level of production was greatly constrained.

Behind the tolerance and benevolence of the Han Dynasty, there is actually too much hideous and bloody.

One of the most famous examples is Ti Ying's Father.

During the time of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, someone wrote a letter accusing Chun Yuyi of taking bribes. Corporal punishment shall be punishable under criminal law.

His youngest daughter, Ti Ying, wrote: "My father was a official, and everyone in Qi said that he was honest and fair, and now he should be punished for breaking the law." I grieve that those who have died of torture cannot be resurrected, and those who have been tortured cannot grow new limbs, and even if they want to mend their ways, there is no way. I am willing to sacrifice myself as a maid in the government to atone for my father's sins and let him mend his ways. ”

Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty was shocked when he saw that someone had petitioned, how could the Han Dynasty, which was so lenient and benevolent, have such a cruel punishment, no, it must be changed! It must be changed until the people are satisfied!

So I took out the law and looked at it, and there were really many cruel laws.

But it doesn't matter, take out those corporal punishments, one by one.

Emperor Wen of Han held a meeting to discuss this matter.

Shaved off your beard and hair?

No, no, it's too cruel, let's replace it with a labor camp.

Five years.

Tattooed on the face?

It's too cruel, so let's shave your hair and put chains on it instead and go to labor camp.

Six years.

Should you cut your nose? How can you cut someone's nose? What has become of that, is it a human thing? Cruel!

Don't cut your nose and get three hundred lashes.

There is no follow-up punishment for this, because after three hundred lashes, the flesh on the human body is beaten into meat sauce.

When to cut off the left foot?

Hehe, five hundred whips.

When chopping off the right foot......

After discussing this, the pale-faced ministers couldn't help it, and suggested softly, "I think it's better to kill it." ”

Emperor Wen of Han also felt that he was too merciful and could not be too good to the people, otherwise they would not be satisfied, so he changed this article to abandon the city.

Emperor Wen of Han looked around indifferently, "When you cut off your right foot, kill it on the street!" ”

- "Whoever finishes it will be the spring of the city; When the one is the one, the tongs are the spring of the city; Whoever is a slasher shall be punished with three hundred; When the left toe is cut off, the flogging is five hundred, and when the right toe is cut off, the market is abandoned. ”

After Emperor Wen of Han finished revising, he laughed.

"People, are you satisfied? No one talks much now, does it?!! ”

So everyone knelt on the ground and praised in unison.

"The benevolent king of the real Nima!"
