Chapter 23: Untitled
At noon, breakfast is officially distributed.
It's still coarse food and black salt......
The bridge eats with relish, but unfortunately, the amount of food that each person can eat is limited, otherwise the bridge will definitely have a big bowl of dry rice.
After eating, the ecstasy continued in Hashi's chest, and the more he got to this time, the more unprovoked the Hashi's heart became more and more apprehensive.
At a loss, he followed the crowd and obeyed the arrangements of the officials.
Collect the salutes, collect the passage money and the rations to return home.
There are post stations along the official roads and even in the townships of Daqin, except for inaccessible places, there is basically no need to bury the pot to cook.
The inn will provide hot water service and food processing services, and if you have a knighthood, you will also be able to provide free meals.
Yes, it is available free of charge depending on the rank of the knighthood.
Of course, don't think about the official food expenses of the white prostitutes, and don't consider the private rooms when you rest, they are all heated water services outside the Chase shop.
Private rooms and official meals, minimum supply standards, and knighthood standards are all doctor's starts.
The title is just a hierarchical system for people, but the Qin State has done it more thoroughly in this regard.
In the Qin Dynasty, the higher the title, the more preferential treatment, these are the special treatment written in the law, not only can the title be used to offset the guilt, all aspects of life, including clothing, food, housing, transportation and daily life, there is a set of standards corresponding.
The main thing is to delineate the detailed class classification through the legal system, and it is precisely because the classification system of the Qin State is thoroughly implemented that the gap between people in different titles will be wider.
Again, there is no harm without contrast.
Everything is to stimulate people's upward heart, from all aspects of life.
Self-employed people who do not have a title are basically struggling to survive......
In the event of a natural disaster or man-made disaster, it will go bankrupt in an instant, the Qin State is still a slave country, and the self-employed will not waste labor if they go bankrupt, so what do the official slaves know?
Without enough slaves, how could such a clear hierarchy of titles be supplied?
Therefore, families that have lost their strong labor and do not have a knighthood will naturally become official slaves in a few years.
is still the same sentence, the Qin Dynasty never minds that slaves can be redeemed through the military merit system, not only can they redeem their own bodies, but also their families.
Moreover, the official slaves of the Qin Dynasty actually had certain human rights.
For example, if a person is married, even if one of them becomes a slave, his marriage is still protected by the law, and even if he is a slave, the government or an individual is not qualified to rearrange the marriage for him, except in special circumstances, of course.
At the same time, it is still the same sentence, meritorious service and redemption.
No matter who this slave is assigned to, even if it is assigned to the current prince, the family members have made meritorious contributions and redeemed themselves immediately, and no one can stop or interfere.
And there are only two ways to make meritorious service, be good at farming, pay more taxes, or fight bravely on the battlefield.
Essentially, it's about making people work hard for farming and war at all costs.
Especially in the kind of families where some members of the family have become slaves, but the strong labor force has not yet become slaves, their families will generally be arranged to do some lighter work, and even if the rewards are distributed, they will not be too far away, in order to facilitate the redemption of their lives.
In addition, money can only buy slaves, not redeem them.
As long as the Qin Dynasty was a registered slave, it could only be exchanged for a title to become a free man.
Another point, the reward of the first-class title of the Qin Dynasty is also clearly marked, rewarding a subordinate concubine, a house, fifty stones, and one hectare of land (fifty city acres. )
Basically, each level of knighthood is stacked on top of this in turn.
Therefore, objectively speaking, choosing to redeem a slave as a free man with the meritorious service of a first-class title is a loss-making transaction, and it is a lot of losses.
The bridge is lucky, during the time of leaving, the family has lost a strong laborer, and no one has been reduced to slavery for the time being.
In short, with confusion and apprehension, the bridge looked back at the place where he had lived for a long time, looked at the officials urging the servant to get out of here, and finally had the courage to lower his head and speak.
"Your Excellency...... When is the next enlistment? ”
The bridge originally wanted to ask if he would not be recruited after going back this time, but when the words came to his lips, the bridge still changed to a high emotional intelligence statement.
"The devil knows?" The officials looked at each other and smiled.
Conscription is an obligation, nothing may not be levied for decades, and it may not be said that after years of war, you are the reincarnation of the three emperors and five emperors, and the conscription is indispensable.
In the case of frequent wars and huge projects, it is not necessary to come up with a king like a moral saint to avoid the loss of labor and money.
The home is about to be gone, are you still resting with the people there?
As for when the Qin State will recruit officials, it is even more uncertain.
However, the news channels of the officials are naturally wider, and the servants regard Zhao Si as a good official, and the officials regard Zhao Si as a god.
This matter is outrageous, Zhao Si felt that Daqin's conscription and taxes were too heavy, and the court persuaded him, and the result was done?
Although Zhao Si said that the righteousness was awe-inspiring, it seemed that he was not afraid of life and death.
But it's not that the First Emperor hasn't cut people, and the last one who mentioned this to the First Emperor was going to die, and the grass on the grave was three feet high.
In the final analysis, Zhao Si is not the only one who is not afraid of death, the key is that the first emperor really listened to Zhao Si.
Zhao Si is really close to the king, as long as Zhao Si does not lose his favor, I am afraid that this conscription will have to stop for a long time.
Even if the construction starts, I am afraid that it will no longer be as big as it is now, with hundreds of thousands of Guizhou first soldiers at every turn.
"It will take a while......" The official seemed to be in a good mood, but reluctantly replied.
The bridge felt a little lost in his heart, but it was also good news.
I hope you don't recruit yourself next time.
At present, the tax cannot save anything at all in the whole year, and without a strong laborer, it can barely be maintained in a year or two.
If it were five or six years, the family would have been reduced to slavery long ago.
It's all barely living, let alone enlisted. On weekdays, the bridge doesn't even dare to get sick.
I have been tightened all year round, and if I relax a little, I will have to worry about being a slave......
There is no capital or means to resist risks.
"But there is no need to worry about conscription, Zhao Shangqing played, and the tax was reduced from fifteen to eleven, so that he could work hard, and he would not encounter any disasters and famines, and he would not be a slave." A little official kindly spoke.
The official briefly answered the question of the bridge, and then went to urge the rest of the servants to go on the road.
All that left was the bridge standing in place, fingers snapping.
There's no way, fifteen is what, eleven is it, how much is the difference in the middle, for people in a cultural desert like the bridge, it has to be counted for a while.
(Some old men are talking about water, and some old men want to write more about this plot, and I have made an outline myself, probably in about six or seven chapters, from several angles to briefly analyze the core of the problem of the death of the second Qin Dynasty, of course, just a brief analysis.) Not from policy, from social customs and people's simple feelings. Express it in terms of the most direct stakes. )
