Chapter 21: Sensation

"The servant returns to his hometown and the rations are entangled, and the generals are all available for the Shaofu." The First Emperor suddenly spoke again.

Daqin's conscription was paid, but it can't be said that there is a lot, it can only be said that there is almost none.

The ancient Kumon regulations look more or less the same, and it does not mean that all the established laws and regulations can be put in place.

There are many things written clearly in the laws of the Qin State, such as about conscription, there is a salary, and the levy will only begin at the age of seventeen......

But the execution of these things is based on the absence of major projects or wars in the country.

There are big projects, there are wars, and the conscription and money that come down from the showdown will be heavy, and the expenditure will naturally shrink.

The taxes of the six countries are less than one-tenth, and when the Qin State hits the doorstep, it implements the same military management regulations, and all the grain that can be levied is levied, and it is not a strange thing that the taxes will be collected for hundreds of years.

There was little peace in the Qin State, and after the First Emperor succeeded to the throne, he officially opened the prelude to the unification of the world.

The standing army has more than one million troops, and it costs countless money and food.

The Six Kingdoms are not fools, they must have exhausted their means to compete with the Qin State when they are living and dying, at least the means of looting and exploitation will definitely be heavier than the Qin State.

How much money was spent?

After the domination of the world, the north and south had millions of soldiers, and all kinds of major projects began to be built.

The galloping road that communicates the world, the straight road from Shangjun to Xianyang, the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, and the Afang Palace......

After all, the wool is out of the sheep, to put it bluntly, although the Qin Dynasty has been unified, but the implementation is still a special regulation.

What's more, the territory before the unification of the Qin Dynasty and after the unification of the world is not known how much, and once the conscription is issued, it is no longer possible for Liao Liao to rush to the place of conscription in a few days as before.

Now it's normal to go into service for two or three months or even longer.

A little farther away like the land of Nanyue, it is not surprising to walk for half a year, and the Qin Dynasty also stipulated that the conscription should be carried out for a period of two years.

It takes more than a year to toss back and forth, not to mention the special situation in South Vietnam, and it is even more impossible to run a two-year period.

Qian silently wrote down all the instructions of the first emperor, and then bowed and retired.

Leaving the First Emperor alone to sit in place, it was a little strange in his heart.

Oddly enough......

According to his habit, in the past, the freedom of the military service would be handled by the Shaofu, and the first emperor never specifically told him to return to his hometown and entangle the matter of road expenses.

This kind of thing has its own process, and the Qin Dynasty has so many conscriptions, and there are countless experiences.

Even if the First Emperor didn't specifically say this, the subordinate institutions and responsible persons would handle it properly.

What made the First Emperor strange was that he actually remembered this matter today, and he also specially opened his mouth to advise.

Before you know it, something seems to be different.

Maybe it's because Zhao Si has mentioned Qianshou too many times, and the First Emperor is really willing to bow his head and take a closer look.

It is no longer the same as the tool in the past, but as a living individual.

It's rare, but it's true that something is starting to change.

The First Emperor knew Zhao Si's starting point very well, and he also knew that Zhao Si had a trace of compassion.

The First Emperor smiled for no reason, and then took care of his own clothes and washed, ready to rest.

It's getting late, and no amount of heavy news can offset the need for people to rest.

The next day, when the sun had just risen, the storm of public opinion was officially lifted.

There is a lot of heavy news about this grand court meeting, but there are only two that can really attract the attention of the public.

The tax was reduced to 11 ...... Of course, the matter of endowment is another matter, and if there are any projects or wars in special periods, they should still be added.

But the tax has really been reduced, which is something that really benefits both the nobles and the Li Shu, and only the interests of the imperial court are harmed, and the real meaning is Ze Pi people.

The second is to surrender!

What did the First Emperor do?

He actually stopped the mausoleum and Afang Palace, and let the servant return home?

At first, it was gossip, some people swore by the appearance of insiders, some people were shocked, and some people felt that it was ridiculous.

Joke!

Tax cuts?

The old Qin people who are serious don't know that this tax and forced labor have been going on for hundreds of years.

Hundreds of years for people almost means that it has been like this since ancient times.

The old Qin people instinctively felt that it was impossible.

Some people are noisy, some people are talking.

However, in the afternoon, the county government of Xianyang began to post notices one after another to publicize the public.

Of course, this is a decision made by Xiao He, who has just taken office.

It's a good thing to sign this.

A few feet square of large white paper, white paper and black letters, and covered with the seal of the government, it was so clearly pasted on the wall outside the county office, and there were officials standing on the side.

Black and white letters, official seals, clear and clear, at a glance!

In the past, there was no so-called official document, because there was no paper before, and naturally there were no notices.

If you have to tell the people, it is nothing more than sending officials and officials to publicize in public near the county office.

But people are more convinced by documents than they are by people.

People subconsciously think that even the mouths of officials can deceive people, but the notices written in black and white cannot be changed.

Even Xiao He, the new county magistrate, went out to say it in person, but he may not be stamped with the official seal and the notice can win the trust of the people.

Because people will abuse their private rights, they will be blinded, and they will confuse the public......

Of course, it is possible to write in black and white, but people are naturally more likely to trust documents.

"Really cut taxes?"

The people outside the gate are afraid of Qin like tigers and wolves, but the old Qin people inside the gate have lived for hundreds of years, and most of them are almost clear about the legal system, so they are not so afraid.

When the notice was posted, some people gathered around and watched from afar.

After all, this is Xianyang City, the political center of Daqin, and there are naturally more literate people.

Someone looked at it word by word and exclaimed.

"The tax has really been reduced, and the tax will only be charged eleven in the future!"

"Really?"

"What's really fake? It is written in black and white, posted at the door of the county government, and in front of everyone's eyes, there is the seal of the government, how can it be fake? ”

"This notice is really good, post it, and you don't have to listen to anyone anymore, what is written is what it is."

"Yikes! It's really falling! ”

"The mausoleum and Afang Palace are also going to stop, and the servant husband will return to his hometown?"

The small people with little literacy are just complacent about their good days.

And some literate people began to wonder, the first emperor could really do such a thing?

So the gossip that should have come has finally come.

Zhao Si argued for what he was said in the court, and everyone was convinced in private.

The case was solved, not because the first emperor was kind, but because of the loyal minister Zhao Si, who was not afraid of life and death, and opened his mouth to give direct advice, which made Daqin reduce taxes and taxes.

Stereotypes never go away.

The First Emperor never looked like he could look down on the world.
