Fifteenth, Qin issued a grass reclamation order, according to Yongzhuang's strength

Duke Qin was taken aback by the tens of millions of military expenses calculated by Gongsun Martingmao! He pondered in his heart, it seems that this army is really not just a matter of thinking about it, and it really has to be supported by strength. β—†,β—‡x. When I think about this, I don't think about it anymore, and I habitually ask, "Sir!" Since you have long known that the expansion of the army to 200,000 will require tens of millions of military spending, why should you agree with the expansion of the army of the widows? ”

Gongsun Ying solemnly returned: "The general trend is also forced." Wei Wei Siege Handan is a God-given opportunity, fleeting, if Qin does not seize it, and misses it, then Wei frees his hand and will destroy Qin; Therefore, the minister did not dare to miss this opportunity, since he hit it off with the lord. But how to raise these tens of millions of military expenses, please think carefully about the lord and ministers, there is no good plan at present. But the minister knew that even if he did his best to make the whole Qin, he would also expand the general to 200,000 within two years, so he asked the lord and the minister to start with the nobles in the country first, and how much equipment could be equipped, and then try to do it. ”

As soon as Qin Gong heard that he was going to get money from the stingy and hated nobles again, he asked reluctantly with a straight face: "Please sir sue the widow!" How to start with the aristocracy? ”

Gongsun Ying raised his fingers, counted and said: "One donation, after the lord takes the lead in donating, then mobilize the generals and nobles in the army to donate money, and then mobilize the lord to get close to the ministers and officials, and then mobilize the merchants and the heads of the Qian, and set a rule, all those who donate more than ten gold, in the war with Wei, will use the spoils to return their twelve gold. The second is to borrow, that is, to borrow money, you can also borrow things, this thing must be chariots, armor, weapons and other war materials, the borrowed money by the government within five years to repay, borrow one to repay 1.4, if you need land, houses, you can also borrow a simple lettering, with the government land, house mortgage. For these two items, the minister estimated that he could raise two million gold, plus the balance of the government, etc., it was enough to equip five aristocratic armies first, improve the original five armies, and by next spring, there would be 100,000 troops to defend the Wei army in Hexi. The remaining 100,000 yuan, with the financial resources of the past few years, can still let it: wear light armor, knives, spears, ge, and other light weapons, strengthen training in peacetime, and use it as a heavy soldier or a long-distance attacking army in wartime, and then equip it after raising money. If you are poor, you have to come step by step, and if you want to catch up with Wei in one go, you can't do it. ”

After hearing this, Qin Gong let out a long breath of evil anger and said fiercely: "Okay." Widows are accustomed to being wicked anyway. This time, I will be ruthless next time, sit in Yongcheng with you, and gather the people, wealth, and things of the nobles of Qinxi first, and the five nobles will be formed this year. ”

Gongsun Ying smiled slightly: "Since the lord's decision has been made, the minister will also accompany Yongcheng to implement the "Grass Reclamation Order" and raise matters other than the construction of the army for the lord. Lord, do you see General Bai and them, should they also come to Yongcheng? Weapons, equipment, and vehicles are counted as ministers, but to form an army, the lord does not have to be respectful, there are still five months left this year, and the generals should be finished. ”

Qin Gong smiled slightly: "Of course they are done, aren't they coming, the equipment is coming, the formation is coming, and then training and training?" The widow is miserable, and he will send money to both of you! Alas, people are poorβ€”β€”! Well, it's useless to complain, let's travel around the fiefdoms! ”

The monarch and the minister laughed for a while. As soon as Gong Qin made a move, Jing Jian came over and asked, "Do you want to drink?" ”

Qin Gong patted Jing Jian's head and said with a smile: "It's still Lord Zaifu, considerate and widowed!" Serve! ”

The "Grass Reclamation Order" of the Duke of Qin was officially promulgated to the world on the Jiazi Day in the middle of Mengqiu in the eighth year of the Gongqu Liang of the Qin State. The "Grass Reclamation Order" is very simple: there are only six articles,

1. The Duke of Qin let go of the mountains, rivers and rivers, and the unowned wasteland, leaving his nobles and Guizhou heads to cultivate grass; The land of the grass is registered with the local government, and after the government measures it truthfully, a certificate is issued, and the land is owned by the grass from then on, and the first three years of the Qin State Gong are taxed according to ten taxes and three and ten taxes and two after that.

2. All merchants and citizens shall register with the local government, and the government shall issue one of the ten households to engage in business according to local affairs, and the other nine households shall be allowed to immigrate to cultivate grass, and those who violate the law shall be treated as official slaves.

3. All inns, grain merchants, butcher merchants, and wine merchants in Qin shall be abolished, and only one of the above five types of merchants shall be approved by the local government in each place and city; And in the whole Qin, all playing, playing, catering and other businesses will be canceled.

Fourth, the Qin people are not allowed to go out if they have nothing to do, and those who urgently need to go out will go to the local government and receive a voucher according to the law; Stay and eat at the inn with Jane; Whoever has no simple lodging or food shall serve sixty days of labor and ten rods; The inn merchants were confiscated as official slaves, and their assets were confiscated.

5. All slaves, who have good agricultural skills in farming, or who have more than three acres of farming, can go to the local government to declare that they have been stripped of their slave status, and after verification by the government, they will be promoted to the head of Qian, and fifty acres of land will be divided, and the grass will be cultivated by him; Whoever obstructs the declaration of slaves shall be fined ten gold.

6. Those who come to Qin to cultivate grass from outside the Qin State shall register with the local government, and the government will borrow their grass reclamation materials and agricultural tools, and enjoy the treatment of the Qin people, and shall be exempt from tax and no forced labor for the first three years, and the rear shall pay the tax to the government according to the Qin people's tax.

But these six articles caused a sensation all over the world. What caused a sensation in the world was that Qin took the lead in allowing the people to own the land, destroying the ancestors who were on the shore of the land and the land of the king. What caused a sensation in the whole Qin was that slaves were allowed to get rid of slavery, which made the nobles panic and worry about the collapse of the Jingtian system. There are no slaves left, so what about our nobles and the fiefs of our nobles?

Duke Qin told them a story, and in this story, helped them settle an account: "There is a nobleman named Zhao Shuang in Yongcheng, who was the former Mu Gongma who died in Qishan, and more than 300 savages ate it. His ancestor was Mu Gongxun's imperial official, and when he saw that Liangjun had lost the belly of a savage, he wanted to punish the savage. Hou Mu Gong stopped and gave wine to the savage. In order to repay this kindness, the wild people all fought to the death after the Zhao imperial officials in the Jinzhong. When he personally went to the fields and cultivated grass in Yongcheng, he was met by the widow and Zuo Shu Changying. The widow asked Zhao Shuang: You are old, and you are a nobleman of the right watch, why are you still cultivating grass with your family and domestic slaves?

Zhao Shuang told the widow: After hearing the grass reclamation order, he deeply felt that this grass reclamation order is beneficial to the country and the family. I have a thousand slaves, and I have just enough grass for him to find something to do; secondly, learn agricultural techniques from the Wei people, and increase my mulberry and millet; Again, Ken's Tian surname is Zhao! This can create the river of my ancestors. Lord, what about my surname of thousands of acres of good land? And the surname of this reclaimed field is Zhao. For the surname Zhao Kencao, happy!

When the widow saw that his slaves were all working hard, he asked, "Don't you worry about the order to free your slaves?"

Zhao Shuang smiled and replied to the widow: Don't worry, but be happy. Is it strange that the widow is wondering? Zhao Shuang calculated an account for the widow: Zhao Shuang also changed the law to the slaves: those who won the top 50 in farming participated in the reclamation. Those who reclaim 50 acres of wasteland, those who harvest three acres of millet per mu will be abolished and promoted to the head of Guizhou. and reported to the government to give Anjiatian 50 acres. Zhao Shuang added Su Sihu again, so the slave was not desperate.
