Chapter 259: Old Thief! You also have today!
In the Qin Dynasty, if you want to turn a subordinate concubine into a commoner, the most reliable way is to ransom people with military merits.
Military merit is hard currency in the Qin State, which can be used for promotion, promotion, or redemption for subordinate concubines.
There will always be some relatives and friends who have been demoted to subordinate concubines because they have violated a certain Qin law, and they want to be rescued? Then go to the battlefield and rush forward bravely.
The First Emperor was a great king, but he was also a feudal king.
The First Emperor didn't have much mercy for his concubines, he just wanted the empire to prosper.
Changing the slave nationality to the civilian nationality, the First Emperor could not see what was beneficial to the Qin State, so he naturally did not allow it.
"You don't want to go to Han Land here, do you want the Qin State to leave without subordinate concubines?" The First Emperor shook off Ying Cheng's hand and said, "I give you Han Di to let you go, I will see what step you can take, there can be no subordinate concubines there."
"No, one Korean land is not interesting, I need the whole territory of the imperial brother to implement it." Ying Cheng Cheng Zheng color road.
Personality equality is the first step for Ying Chengcheng to achieve, and the first step of personality equality is to cancel the subordinate concubines.
Is it better to cancel the subordinate concubines for the Qin Congress? This vertical vision has always been relatively high.
The First Emperor looked at Ying Cheng's expression, frowned and sat down again, and said, "Tell me what you think."
"To be honest, I can't convince Brother Huang." Ying Cheng shrugged his shoulders.
It is meaningless to talk about human rights, equality, and building a positive country where everyone has ideals and aspirations, and talks about the First Emperor, who can determine the life and death of others with one word, and who is the most powerful and powerful in history.
From the perspective of personal interests and the interests of the Qin State within a hundred years, the existence of slaves was more beneficial to the First Emperor, because slaves were easy to use.
The idea that a subordinate concubine is not a human being has long been ingrained in the hearts of all people, and no one will have much sympathy for a subordinate concubine.
In the case where the main body of society is a commoner, the number of exploited vassals and concubines is far from enough to overthrow the ruling class and change the day, which will not affect the monarchy.
If it is not considered at this level of people, the existence of subordinate concubines is under the level of social development of the Qin Dynasty. The benefits created are enormous, and the losses caused are almost none.
The First Emperor didn't make a sound, waiting for Ying Chengcheng to follow, he knew his half-brother too well.
If there is no certain certainty, Ying Chengcheng will not say or do it.
"As long as the imperial brother allows it, a lot of food I have saved in various parts of the world in the past ten years can be given to the imperial brother."
When the First Emperor heard this, a stunned look appeared on his face, and he looked at Ying Chengcheng with a look of whether you are sick or not.
"How much food do you have?" How dare you use this to induce me to cancel my subordinate concubines? ”
Regardless of the dynasty, the role of grain was great. In ancient times, food played a particularly important role.
If there was enough food, the First Emperor could make all the Qin troops armed. Lay down territory after territory and expand wildly.
The word ploughing war, if you go to ploughing, there will be a war left.
This is definitely a big temptation for the First Emperor, who is determined to expand his territory.
Moreover, with sufficient food, the First Emperor was able to hire civilians to build civil works and do the work of his courtiers and concubines.
For the First Emperor, who only focused on the results, it didn't matter who did it, he didn't look at the process.
Ying Chengcheng raised his hands, opened all his fingers, turned his face, and said, "The food I have saved is enough for the world to eat for 20 years."
"Impossible."
The First Emperor scoffed and did not believe it at all.
"The world has been fighting for years, and the population has plummeted. Now, according to the names reported by the counties, there are more than 23 million people with household registration, not counting those subordinate concubines who have returned to the mountains and forests and are raised by each family. An adult's food for a year is eighteen stones, and twenty years is three hundred and six stones. If these 23 million are counted as adults, 20 years is ......"
"Eighty-two thousand thousand." Ying Chengcheng paused and said, "Wan Shi."
It took the first emperor a while to figure it out, and it was the same as Ying Chengcheng's calculation, and he muttered a sentence in a whisper that he counted faster than me.
"That's right, so much food, you have?"
Ying Chengcheng nodded seriously and said, "I have."
Knowing that the First Emperor would not believe it, Ying Chengcheng said again: "The imperial brother knows everything about the Han Land, and I can win in the Han Land, isn't it just the food I rely on?"
That's right...... This shaft does have a lot of grain in Korea.
The First Emperor glanced at Ying Cheng, who had a serious face, although he still didn't believe it in his heart, but he was more or less shaken.
"If you really have a lot of food, cancel the subordinate concubines, and I will allow it."
"That's it, don't forget to start the morning tomorrow brother."
"Don't worry." The First Emperor held down the somewhat restless Ying Cheng, and said, "You give me the grain first, and then I will announce the new system."
Ying Chengcheng touched the head of the First Emperor and said, "Brother Huang, are you not sick?" Why do I bring you so much food? ”
The First Emperor, who firmly believed that Ying Chengcheng was bragging, nodded deeply and said, "Then what should I do?" I don't see that grain will not be issued in a new system. ”
"I'll take you one by one." Ying Cheng said categorically.
The First Emperor smiled.
"Are you sure that I can't leave Xianyang at the moment, so you deliberately provoke me with these words?"
It is now the first year of the First Emperor, and although the Qin State is no longer in ruins, it is also half a hundred ruins waiting to be revived, and the First Emperor cannot leave Xianyang for too long.
"So what do you say?" Ying Cheng said helplessly.
"You can't put all this food outside the customs, right?" The First Emperor pinched his chin and said, "Give me the grain in the gate first, and I will allow you to cancel the concubines."
"Yes."
Load, you continue to load.
"The grain stored in Guanzhong, if you can't let Guanzhong Qianshou eat it for twenty years, I won't agree."
"No problem." Ying Chengcheng agreed very happily.
The First Emperor got up, put on his mask unhappily, and said, "Han Di is for you, you can deal with the trouble you broke out by yourself, I don't care."
Ying Cheng replied.
"I haven't asked yet, what did you do when you hit Zhao Gao's ear that day? I can't see you in public until you and the family have come to an end. ”
"It's not nice to see him."
“…… The next time you act like this, I will really put you in this Xianyang prison! The First Emperor said a cruel word, and then said very casually: "What is Lu Buwei's reaction when he sees the words I wrote?"
"Qi and blood retrograde, heart and veins are damaged, and I was almost angry to death by you." Ying Cheng Cheng Zhao is the truth.
Old thief! You also have today!
"Alas, I just want him to know the truth of 'do unto others what you don't want to be done to yourself', but it was not my intention to end up like this, I asked Xia Wuhe to go and treat him."
"Brother Huang." Ying Chengcheng pointed to the corner of his mouth and said, "The mask can't cover your grinning mouth, you can laugh if you want to laugh."
"Ridiculous! I'm a stingy person! The First Emperor hurriedly turned around and left.
Ying Cheng took a piece of hay to his mouth and lay on his back on the bed looking at the top of his head.
"Brother Huang was not easy to deceive when he was a child. If you have all these families, will you have enough food to eat for 20 years? Alas, you can't gag, gag to kill chickens and take eggs......"
