581 anti-Qin sprouts
The effects of the gas have not yet been fully applied. The Yan army did not send enough troops to capture the positions of the Qi army for a long time after the release of the poison gas. The reason is low morale. They have not been paid for three months. The soldier used this as a reason. Refusal to send troops.
And the Qi army began to sort out the tragedy. They agreed. This kind of poisonous gas with huge damage was instructed by the Qin State to do it by the Yan State. Therefore. The Qi people all hated the Qin State.
It's not over yet. This matter began to spread to other Qi places as the hatred of the front line began. When people hear about it. All were surprised and angry.
Anger needs to be vented. People began to take their anger at those Qin goods. The goods of the Qin State were all-encompassing. Soap, mirrors, shoes. and the use of various condiments. Most of them came from factories in the Qin State. But these things were taken out and burned by the Qi people. Destroy it.
Gradually, a spontaneous anti-Qin wave began to rise in various places. But this is only civil spontaneous. This spontaneity was just a dissatisfaction with the Qin State for allowing the Yan State to release poisonous gas to poison the Qi people. However, it had a great bad impact on the Qin State. Especially the old-fashioned forces and nobles of the Qi State. The idea of starting to combine this form to carry out all kinds of revenge against the Qin State began to sprout.
The state of Qi is the same as the state of Chu. It was also greatly affected by the industrial products of the Qin State. The impact is very noticeable. And the power is huge.
Take, for example, the exchange of goods. Most of Qin's industrial exports were light industrial products. And it's something that people use every day. These things don't just work well. And it's also firm. It's not just the quality of the product. A lot of things didn't exist before. For example, mirror soap. laundry soap and much more. These are all women's favorite things.
Qinguo Chemical Industry. Especially after the synthesis of ammonia. Glass has become a common thing. This also allowed the Qi people to use this kind of mirror. There is also soap for cleaner laundry. And there is a smell of orange after washing. This is something that Qi women love very much.
Korean merchants brought in a steady stream of products from the Qin State. and put together the food of the people. The Qi people could only buy these daily necessities by exchanging food. It's not just food. There are also a large number of other Qi specialties.
Sea salt was originally the most sought-after product in various countries. However, the newly occupied territory of the Qin state had a large number of inland saltwater lakes. These greatly satisfied the Qin State's demand for salt. In particular, there is a demand for industrial salt. Under the regulation of the commodity futures market. The edible salt of the Qin State was very well developed in Bashu. The use of packaging bags makes the use of edible salt more formal. The color of Qin's salt is also very good. It's very fine. Affected by this factor. The demand for sea salt in Qin and neighboring countries has dropped significantly.
Qin's products are unique. No country can make it. However, the country's sea salt has been greatly impacted. Prices plummeted. The state of Qi exchanged salt for the products of the state of Qin. Turn. Qin took back the raw materials and continued to process them for export. And the price is lower. This disrupted the original order. The sea salt of the Qi people began to bleak.
And that's not all. A large number of goods flooded the country of Qi. And the Qi State became more and more dependent on the products of the Qin State. Even paper had to be imported from the Qin state. These lead directly to a large imbalance in trade.
The gold of the nobility was lost to the Koreans. Then it flowed into the pockets of the Qin people. It's not just gold. A large amount of grain was also collected. The food was exchanged for some daily necessities. But the food could not be grown. After the nobility lost its gold. In exchange for food. Start growing some cash crops. Hemp, apple trees, sheep grazing. These things can be exchanged for gold.
This directly led to the loss of land for the peasants. The land began to be annexed. And the peasants who lost their land were full of resentment.
In terms of taxation. The price of goods in the Qin State was low. Because it's machine-made. So, the price is very low. But it makes it impossible for other merchants to compete with it. Local merchants do not have this advantage. The business tax of Qi is very equal. How much do Qi people pay. Outsiders pay as much as they want. So. The advantages are all on the commodity side of the Qin State.
And the state of Qi is at war. Imports of large quantities of arms. It's expensive. Gradually, taxes were raised. This became a disaster for the merchants of Qi State. The economy of Qi began to be hit by the cheap goods of Qin. This shock has caused some people to be dissatisfied. It makes the people resentful very heavy.
And the literati class of Qi State has a lot of criticism about Qin State. Factories in the Qin State used female workers. The woman's sense of independence began to strengthen. In particular, the Qin State used a large number of women as state officials. Many of the office workers are women. This is nothing new in the Qin State. There is already a large percentage of women in their company.
But this is contrary to Confucian thinking. They began to attack the Qin State on a large scale, and the relationship between men and women was extremely improper. Describe the barbarism and ignorance of the Qin people. Confucianism vigorously exerted their rituals. For this reason, they also wrote a large number of articles to publicize the various badness of the Qin State. Ridiculously. These are all from Qin's own newspapers.
All kinds of discontent were brewing hostility towards Qin. Anti-Qin forces have sprouted. They needed an opportunity to attack the Qin State. And the news of this poison gas attack became the fuse of the anti-Qin movement. Time is speeding up this hate propaganda.
And the upper echelons of the Qin State thought that everything was fine. Shang Wen also happily talked about the plot of the Qin dance drama with the queen of Korea. The queen also invited the dance drama to be staged in South Korea. They then discussed other aspects of the Qin state. For example, the issue of international students. bank loans, etc.
And the folk. There are also people who have begun to enter the literary circle. A large number of song and dance troupes began to be formed. Theaters began to appear. People began to use their imagination to write scripts. Rehearse the plot. The Qin people found an atmosphere of folk culture.
The novel is no longer serialized in newspapers. Rather, it is a book that appears for sale. The dance of the Chu people. There are also various musical instruments that play beautiful music for the Qin people. Chu people, Yue people. Huns, Huns, Koreans, and so on. The culture of the Qin State was full. People are no longer empty. No more numbness. Old Qin people. The new Qin people were infected by culture. Change the love life. Enjoy life.
But royal music still retains its tradition. However, they have survived in the form of records and sheet music. In order to nurture human resources. The Qin Royal Family Conservatory of Music was established. Although the purpose is to compete with the people. But it put art on the right track.
And the artistic characteristics of the Qin State also began to appear. People pay more attention to the human spirit. The value of people. Person. Start becoming a theme.
