In addition to the lack of copper coins in the hands of the common people, another reason why the state collects taxes in kind is that the state must keep enough materials in its hands.

In the event of a war or a natural disaster in various places, it is impossible to buy food if you want to, so you must have enough food in stock.

Therefore, even if the world has enough money in the future, and the people have enough copper money to pay taxes, materials such as grain and cloth will still be collected, but they will be distributed in proportion to the copper money.

In the five years of the Great Qiantian Heavenly Blessing, the galloping road connecting the world was finally completed.

As a super project built in the Huaiguo period, the construction of the entire Chidao can be said to have lasted for 50 years. Especially after the unification of the world, the scale of construction of Chidao has expanded rapidly. Today, the construction has finally been completed.

Through Chidao, Daqian successfully connected all the counties and Luoyang.

[Qianchi Road: The construction of Chi Road has made the communication of Daqian more convenient, and it is more convenient to travel, and at the same time, the control of the imperial court over all parts of the world has also been improved to a higher level. Civilization +10, Prosperity +10, Stability +10, March Speed +10, and the collateral effect [Unimpeded], which costs a lot of money and materials to maintain every year. 】

The integrity of the gallop allowed the army of Daqian to move quickly. However, although Chidao connects all counties in the world, it is only preliminarily connected. For example, Shu Road, the Shu Road is steep and the road is difficult to walk, and the Chi Road here is just a slightly wider road.

The vast majority of gallops are still very fast.

After the completion of the Chidao, Wang Ke set up the Chidao Division, which was responsible for repairing the Chidao, and at the same time set up a large number of post stations on the Chidao for people to rest or deliver news.

It's spring ploughing again.

Outside Luoyang City, Yishui Luoshui passes through the Luoyang Basin, and a light rain has just fallen, and the ground is still very wet.

A large number of farmers in the fields have already started ploughing.

Wang Ke looked at the scene in front of him, his heart was very comfortable, the spring breeze blew by, and he rolled up some robes.

Today he is dressed in a very ordinary way, and his clothes are old, but there are no patches on them. This is the clothes he specially sewed, and when he was the prince in the past, he would change it every time he went out on a low-key tour.

Wang Ke advocated frugality, so even if it was very old, this piece of clothing was not discarded.

"Ce'er, do you know what these are?" Wang Ke pointed to his eyes and said.

A tiger-headed child next to him looked in the direction his father was pointing, and then said, "Farmers and farmland!" ”

"Yes, farmer and farmland, do you know what it means to us?"

"I don't know." Wang Ce shook his head suspiciously.

"They are the foundation of our great cadres and the foundation of Zhuxia!"

"Are they the foundation of the Great Cadre?"

"Yes, they are farmers, cultivating the fields, providing taxes for the state, although they alone do not provide much taxes, but thousands of farmers add up to provide huge wealth for the country, which those nobles cannot provide!"

"They are the foundation of this country, their farmers, they work hard every day, pay taxes to the big cadres, and the rest of the rations to feed the family, if they can have some leftover, they will sell some money in the market, and then exchange for salt *** pot and so on.

His wife would weave mulberry linen into cloth, pay some taxes, and make some into clothes, and it was with these people that you could live in a palace that was tall, bright, and majestic, and that you could wear silk and satin.

Their sons may do the same, or they may join the army and pick up the sword to kill the barbarians who dare to invade Daqian, so as to protect Daqian and protect Zhuxia.

You can be high up and become a prince, it is precisely because of these people that they support the cadres to become stronger and stronger. And you will have to sit in the position of Emperor Daqian in the future. ”

"They provided everything we needed, and they had a hard time living on their own."

"If the foundation is not stable, even the most magnificent and majestic palace will collapse in an instant. It's like a big tree, if the roots die, the whole tree dies.

Was it because of those nobles and nobles? No, it's the millions of people, the soldiers who support you, so you have to understand where you stand and who you have to protect. ”

"If you don't protect their interests, you will oppress these people so that they will not survive. Then it will be time for the great cadres to die in the country. ”

"Their demands are very simple: three meals to eat, clothes when cold, medicine to cure the sick, to feed their wives and children, to have chickens, guineas and dogs in good years, not to starve to death in disaster years, not to be wantonly killed. Is this a high requirement? In my opinion, it is not high. ”

"In contrast, what about the emperor, the nobles, the officials, the magnates and their demands? Their consumption of three meals a day may be the wealth of these people for a month.

They want good wine, beautiful people, wealth, power, and they never get satisfied. ”

"Emperors, nobles, officials, and powerful people, any one of these people can oppress those people, force them bankrupt, and have nothing."

"As the future emperor, you must understand that only when the people are stable, your throne will be stable, if they can't survive, the great cadres will be destroyed! In contrast, although some of those nobles, officials, and heroes will perish, there will also be a large number of them that will still be passed on. ”

"As the future emperor, you need officials, nobles, and powerful people to assist you and help you control the world, but you also have to be wary of them. If you are negligent, they will oppress those people in all sorts of ways! ”

"In comparison, you are the same as the interests of the people in the world, and the cadres have now implemented the probation system, you must understand that the probation system cannot only be implemented among the nobles, officials, and powerful people, but also needs to be implemented among the people."

"Although the vast majority of the people have limited talents, there will always be some geniuses among the thousands of people. Find out these geniuses, and then grant them official positions, these people are your weapons to control the court and suppress the nobles, officials, and powerful. ”

Wang Ke has very high requirements for his son, looking at his somewhat confused eyes, Wang Ke smiled slightly and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, just write it down, you will understand when you grow up!" ”

Fortunately, Wang Ce has a good talent, and every once in a while, Wang Ke will take him to teach him personally.

——

It is hard to imagine that more than 2,000 years ago, the Chinese built such a huge transportation network, and it can be said that Qianzhidao is the ancestor of modern railways. And the only thing in history that can be slightly compared to him is the avenue paved by the Roman Empire. This makes us feel the wisdom and strength of the ancients. - "The Domination of Ancient Empires: Traffic"
