Chapter 31: It's Bad, the Qin State is going to get better!

Reducing taxes and taxes is a good thing for people all over the world, but a policy that benefits everyone is definitely not the common people, but the nobles.

It's a very simple problem, the people don't have much land in their hands, and they have a total of a few acres of more than ten acres of land, not to mention collecting eleven, even if they don't collect a penny of tax, they still have no ability to resist risks.

Natural disasters, man-made disasters, and the destruction of people's homes, only a very small thing is enough.

And for the Cui family, which has a land like Qianmo, the industry is all over Langya and even the old Qi, and the top nobles who can cover Langya in terms of connections, and the tax reduction is too great by four-tenths.

In the past, the Qin State did its best to concentrate the wealth of the people in the center, which was war and plunder.

However, the wars of the future are destined to no longer be as continuous as the Warring States.

When the society is stable, the cake can be bigger.

But when the cake is small, that group of people eats it, and when the cake is bigger, it is still eaten by that group of people.

As for the common people, they can't eat a penny.

When the Han Dynasty was founded, Liu Bang moved a large number of nobles to Xianyang to strengthen the centralization of power.

The well-known rule of Wenjing in history is to adopt the national policy of resting with the people, doing as little as possible politically, and ruling by doing nothing.

After the rule of Wenjing, "in the first 70 years of Emperor Wu, the country died, and it was not in the event of floods and droughts, but it was full of despise, and the treasury was full of money. That is to say, in the early Han Dynasty, Gaozu, Empress Lu, Emperor Wen, Emperor Jing and other previous rulers have made a super cake of social wealth. At the beginning of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the biggest problem facing society was how to cut this big cake.

But in fact, this big cake has long been cut by the emerging elite group.

Therefore, in the early years of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the financial resources that the treasury could mobilize were still very limited.

Because the elite interest groups of the Han Dynasty amassed most of the social wealth and occupied most of the country's interests.

And the social divide between the rich and the poor is even more shocking: on the one hand, the rich and wealthy are extravagant, and on the other hand, "the poor often wear the clothes of cattle and horses, and eat the food of dogs." ”

Dong Zhongshu, a great Confucian in the Han Dynasty, also said: "The rich have no place to stand, and the poor have no place to stand." ”

The extravagance of the powerful, the profiteers became rich, the market was chaotic, the country was weak and the people were poor, which made the Han Dynasty, which was gorgeous and wealthy in appearance, vulnerable in the face of the Xiongnu's fierce horses and strong bows, and could only use the soft diplomacy of princesses and relatives to steal peace.

The abundance of the world does not mean that the Son of Heaven is rich.

Cakes are never eaten by rulers alone.

And Zhao Si's idea, in addition to making the original cake bigger, is to make the people can't smell the taste, and they can taste the cake they worked so hard to make.

Someone plays, naturally...... Someone is going to end up.

And before flipping the table and telling some people to eat less, it is necessary to let the ignorant and easy to conform to the crowd realize a problem.

Only with whom can there be a cake to eat.

The biggest beneficiaries of the tax reduction are the nobles, the first emperor, Li Si, and Zhao Si, all three of whom know it.

But it doesn't matter, this is just a gesture to send a friendly signal to the people and increase the credibility of the government, so that they can clearly understand which side to stand on.

Oh no, you just don't have to help each other.

In fact, in this era, it is still too taken for granted to want to set off a struggle among the masses of the people.

All they need is to stand by and shout a good death.

The Cui family, father and son, and even most of the nobles in the world are immersed in the happiness of reducing taxes and taxes.

Some have even begun to sing the praises of the First Emperor.

Some people think that the First Emperor may have changed his mind.

Some people recognized the right of the First Emperor to share the cake......

This is a big deal, out of thin air, four tenths less tax, less than four-tenths in a year, ten years, a hundred years?

Who can stand to this day is not a nobleman for hundreds of years?

In their eyes, this was a great victory in their struggle, and they realized that they might be able to cooperate with the First Emperor even further.

Of course, the premise is that if it does not harm their interests much.

Judging from the fact that the First Emperor took the initiative to reduce the huge amount of taxes, the First Emperor already had the elements of a king that they recognized.

A king who knows how not to treat his people harshly is a good king.

But they didn't realize that the First Emperor, who was blackened by their public opinion, was gradually whitewashed.

And still living in dire straits, I suddenly found that the target that had been erected before had fallen.

There was no way to vent their anger, after all, they could no longer blame the First Emperor, who was already willing to take the initiative to reduce taxes.

Their anger is still there, their anger is still building.

They didn't realize it, but someone ...... Realized.

The Coast of the East China Sea......

Zhang Liang looked at the notice posted by the county government, and his brows were raised.

"How is that possible!"

Zhang Liang's face was full of incredulity!

How could Qin Shi Huang make such a ridiculous decision?

This decision cannot be said to be wrong, it can only be said that it is too right!

Zhang Liang has some understanding of the Qin State, in fact, anyone who has a university can basically gain insight into the severe social contradictions and conflicts of the Qin State.

They may not be sure that the Qin State will be destroyed because of this, but they can also feel that there will be great turmoil in the long run.

The severe social contradictions and conflicts of the Qin State have been laid out on the bright side, and the First Emperor insisted on going his own way, walking a tightrope-like national policy, and in the midst of the clouds and rain, it seems that the First Emperor has played the limit of the people's power and the country's tolerance to the extreme.

This is of course his great ability for kings, but isn't it a kind of mockery for thousands of people?

Their anger and resentment are building......

The First Emperor's move to reduce taxes was tantamount to one day suddenly standing sincerely in front of this group of people full of resentment and anger and saying sincerely: "I was wrong. ”

And also took out a lot of compensation.

The social contradictions in the Qin Dynasty were indeed very violent, but the Qin Dynasty had not yet rebelled everywhere, which shows that the social contradictions in the Qin Dynasty were far from reaching the limit that the society could bear.

Everything that Zhang Liang could foresee was based on the fact that the First Emperor continued to operate to the limit, and the people's anger and anger continued to accumulate.

What's going on now?

The big move stopped halfway through......

This is not the crux of the matter.

The First Emperor!

That's the First Emperor!

Although Zhang Liang hated the First Emperor for the ruins of the country and the death of the family, he had to recognize the First Emperor in some places.

No, how can it be soft?

Why isn't there a hurry?

Broken! The state of Qin is going to get better!

The First Emperor seemed to be in a hurry all of a sudden.

According to the law of conservation of energy, urgency does not go away, but only transfers.

The First Emperor was not in a hurry.

Zhang Liang is in a hurry!
