- Lucretius (Roman philosopher and poet)

After the meeting, Oscar did not return to his bedroom, but to the study of the governor's mansion, which now belonged to him; Picking up a parchment roll, Oscar began to write and draw on the parchment roll in Chinese. Beneath this parchment are several parchments, the fruits of Oscar's previous time in the Latin provinces; Because the contents of the parchment scroll are so important, Oscar has been writing in Chinese to prevent any possible leaks.

In fact, the problems that have arisen now have long been expected by Oscar; But Oscar isn't omnipotent, and he doesn't know how to solve these problems. Oscar, however, knew a way to quickly make a regime's military strength grow rapidly and with minimal trouble; In order to reduce the resistance to the implementation of this method, Oscar has already begun to make preparations.

Oscar didn't have that much time to fight against the so-called old guards, so he chose to occupy a new territory, and then consciously cleaned up all possible New Deal threats in the process. Do you think that all the Sardinian families are willing to fight to the death with the Red Armor? It's all the active provocation of the Red Army! However, history is written by the victors; Therefore, these families were exterminated because of resistance.

Now, the whole of Sardinia has become a blank slate; Oscar can complete this reform in Sardinia faster than the change in Chinese history! Smaller territory, no old guards, and the absolute authority of the supreme ruler are all preparing for this reform; Soon, a storm will blow over Sardinia and even the entire Roman world. And he is the one who started this storm!

Again, just after this storm hangs up; The House of Augustus will grow at an unprecedented rate and expand dramatically. Perhaps, in this world, this reform will also encounter the same final fate as its own world. But, so what? When that day comes, I have conquered all the nations and countries of this world!

At least when you are in this world, you will have supreme power! As for his absence, Oscar hehe; People die and birds rise to the sky, and they do not die for thousands of years. I'm not there, let him flood he! Thinking of this, Oscar continued to lie on the table and write hard; On the first parchment scroll at the bottom are written four big characters - Shang Yang Transformation!

The Shang Dynasty Reform refers to the two political reforms carried out by Shang Ying, a famous Legalist figure during the Warring States Period, in the Qin State. After Qin Xiaogong of Qin State ascended the throne, he was determined to strengthen the reform, so he ordered the recruitment of talents. Shang Ying entered Qin from the Wei State, and put forward a set of development strategies such as abandoning well fields, emphasizing agriculture and mulberry, awarding military merits, implementing unified measurements, and establishing a county system, which won the trust of Qin Xiaogong, and appointed him as the head of the left and began to change the law.

This reform was the most thorough reform of various countries in China during the Warring States Period, and after the Shang Dynasty reform, Qin's economy developed, and the combat effectiveness of the army was continuously strengthened, developing into the richest and most powerful feudal state in the late Warring States period. Later, due to the self-suicide of Shang Ying, he was divided by five horses, but King Qin Hui and his descendants continued to implement his new law, laying the foundation for Qin's annihilation of the Six Kingdoms and the unification of China.

The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period was a period of great change in the collapse of slavery and the establishment of feudalism, during which the use of iron farming tools and the gradual promotion of ox ploughing led to the gradual replacement of the state ownership of land by slave owners. With the development of the feudal economy, the economic and political power of the emerging landlord class increased. The new landlord class demanded political reforms, the development of the feudal economy, and the establishment of the rule of the landlord class.

Various countries have set off reform movements, such as the Li Kui reform of Wei and the Wu Qi reform of Wu. It was against this background that the Shang Dynasty changed its law. Moreover, among all the changes, the Shang Yang change is the most successful and excellent change; History will prove the merits of each option. Among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, Qin was a relatively backward country, "the Six Kingdoms were inferior to Qin and did not ally with it", and Qin was called Xirong at that time.

However, after the Shang Dynasty changed the law; He made the Qin state a powerful state, and laid the foundation for the future Qin state to unify the six kingdoms, and established the idea of the rule of law. All of this is very similar to the present Roman world, in a mixture of slavery and feudalism; Moreover, its own Sardinian forces happen to be free of internal and external troubles, and can carry out reforms more smoothly and quickly!

The Shang Dynasty Reform Law is mainly divided into two parts, one is the economic aspect, and the other is the political aspect. First of all, Shang Ying's economic reform focused on abolishing the well-field system and implementing private ownership of land. This was the only change in land tenure that was carried out nationwide during the Warring States period by means of national politics and laws. The main contents are as follows: abolishing well fields, opening up fields, abolishing slavery and state ownership of land, and implementing private ownership of land; Emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business, rewarding farming and weaving, and developing the feudal economy; Uniform weights and measures.

In response, Oscar made appropriate Romanesque changes; This has become the following: First, the state land ownership system should be abolished by law and private ownership of land should be established. The decree stipulates that people are allowed to open up land, that land can be bought and sold freely, and that taxes are to be borne equally according to the amount of land each person occupies. State-owned land, such as unowned barren land, mountains, forests, rivers, and newly occupied land in other countries, will gradually be privately owned. Private ownership of land is recognized in accordance with the law, and land is allowed to be bought and sold. In this way, the production relations of slavery were destroyed and the development of the feudal economy was promoted.

Second, we should pay equal attention to the policy of commerce and agriculture. It is stipulated that those who produce a lot of grain and cloth, and those who pay a lot of taxes in business, can be exempted from their own labor and taxes, and take agriculture and commerce as their "main business." Those who are poor because of idleness are punished by the whole family as official slaves. Recruit landless peasants to open up land in Sardinia. In order to encourage the small-scale peasant economy, it was also stipulated that every family with two sons must separate and earn a living independently when they reach the age of majority, otherwise they would have to pay double the tax. Fathers, sons, and brothers (adults) are prohibited from living in the same room, and a small family policy is implemented. These policies were conducive to the multiplication of the population, the levy of conscription and household taxes, and the development of the feudal economy.

Third, develop uniform weights and measures. Before the reform, the weights and measures of various countries and families were not uniform. In order to ensure the family's tax income, standard weights and measures were made, and people of all countries and families used Augustan standard weights and measures on the territory of the Augustan family. In this way, the family domain has a standard measurement criterion, which provides convenient conditions for people to engage in economic and cultural exchange activities; It has played a positive role in the unification of the tax system and the stipend system; It is conducive to eliminating the influence of other forces on the family territory and uniting the people of the family territory.

These three are the economic measures summed up by the Oscar reform after combining it with the reality of Rome; Then there are the measures that affect the overall situation from the political side. Oscar's political reform is also focused on completely abolishing the old family hereditary system and establishing a new feudal centralized system. The main contents are as follows: rewarding military merits, implementing the eighteenth-rank system, abolishing the family hereditary system, and encouraging members of the Augustan family to establish military merits to enhance the combat effectiveness of the army; Reform the household registration system, implement the joint sitting law, and introduce a new provincial system and a local county system; Laws of Augustus, etc.

First, reward military merits. Private fighting is forbidden to reward military merits. It is stipulated that titles are awarded according to military merits, and family members must not be included in the family membership unless they have military merits. In the future, whether it is the children of the nobles or the common people, they can enjoy glory and wealth; Those who have no merit, even if they are rich, must not be extravagant. The establishment of a system of military merit and knighthood means that the reform has completely abolished the old family hereditary system, and in the future, titles will be awarded according to the size of military merit, and officials will be selected from those who have military merit.

Rewarding military merits will enable the development of the power of the landlords who have made military merits, fight the forces of the slave owners and aristocrats, maintain the power of the emerging landlords, and make the military power of the Augustan family develop, from "the land of an island" to "a huge empire". Due to the admiration of military exploits, the combat effectiveness of the Augustan army will be greatly enhanced. The further strengthening of the Augustan family in foreign wars will increase the status of the Augustan family.

The Augustan family can also gradually occupy the fertile land and the high level of agricultural development in the East and the Arab and North African regions rich in cattle and horses and war elephants by force, and social production will develop rapidly, thus laying the material foundation for the Augustan family to unify the Roman world. At the same time, it can also improve the living standards of the people; Tie all the common people under your rule to the chariot of House Augustus!

Second, reform the household registration system. Sardinia's towns, villages, and settlements were originally naturally formed settlements, large and small. In order to strengthen the rule of feudal **** and manage the majority of residents, Oscar will require residents to register their household registration. The main content of the joint sitting method is that residents take 10 families as "teams" and 100 families as "villages", and take teams and villages as grassroots administrative units. In accordance with the establishment, it is registered and incorporated into the household register, and mutual supervision is ordered. If one family is guilty, nine families must report it consecutively, and if they do not denounce it, then ten families will be guilty of the same crime. Those who do not accuse the adulterer will be beheaded, and those who denounce the "adulterer" will be rewarded with the enemy, and those who conceal the adulterer will be punished with the enemy.

This point, the Oscar was not intended to be used; Because as a modern person, Oscar felt that this punishment was too harsh. However, troubled times use heavy canons; If you want to get the rise of the family, you have to pay. It is rare to create such a good governance environment and have such a tailor-made governance policy, which must not be wasted. Perhaps if the harsh punishment law is lost, the Shang Yang Reform Law will not be the Shang Yang Reform Law.
