There was a dead silence all around.

Fusu and Hu Hai were shocked.

Ji Heng's statement is too shocking and sensational.

But it doesn't make sense.

Ji Heng ignored the two brothers with disbelief in their eyes, and ate beef and drank wine peacefully, as if what he said just now did not come from his mouth.

Long.

Fusu came back to his senses.

His eyes were still full of shock and disbelief.

He thought about it carefully in his mind, and finally found out to his horror that no one around him had indeed mentioned Qianshou.

What he hears every day is either trivial matters in the palace, or major affairs in the world, or all kinds of gossip, but this information is rarely related to Qianshou.

Fusu's body trembled, and his lips trembled slightly.

He was aware.

What Ji Heng said may be true.

Because Daqin did use the people too much, he even wrote because of this.

The reason why he wrote the book at the beginning was because the people around him complained constantly, thinking that the imperial court had levied too many people and levies too much, and he thought about it at the time, but he was later refuted by the first emperor, and he gave up in order not to provoke the first emperor's anger.

Now that I think about it, I realize that something is wrong.

At that time, it was the nobles in the city who persuaded themselves to be the most fierce, but after knowing that they had hit a wall, these people resolutely did not mention it again.

But aren't these people the constant birthers in Ji Heng's mouth?

The reason why they didn't mention it again was because they were worried that if they said too much, they would be dissatisfied, but even they felt that they were using the people too much, and they were afraid that the bottom would be even more miserable.

Fusu's face turned pale.

The other side.

After Hu Hai sorted it out for a while, he still didn't sort it out, and said in confusion: "Is the Qianshou at the bottom really so bitter? Can't survive anymore? ”

"It can't be, right?"

Fusu looked at Hu Hai with a complicated expression, and sighed faintly in his heart, Hu Hai has lived in the deep palace for a long time, has never been in contact with political affairs, knows very little about the affairs of the world, and does not know the situation of the world at all.

He spoke, "Mr. Ji mentioned it before. ”

"Daqin has built a lot of construction projects in recent years, not only in various places to build palaces, but also in the country to build a variety of official roads, only at the county and county level there are more than 390, which does not include the 12 official roads through the county and the county, as well as the Chi Road, the straight road, and the Great Wall in the north."

"In addition, there are also trenches and valleys, breaking through the river defense, dredging the Cao Canal and so on."

"With such a wide variety of projects that consume a lot of people, they have been implemented in the past few years, how can the people at the bottom afford it?"

"It does not include the relocation of 500,000 people in the South China Sea, the relocation of hundreds of thousands of people to fill in the border and other handwriting, if you add the garrison soldiers in the northern part of the South China Sea, the number will only be even greater, if it is really calculated according to the law of one person per household, I am afraid that every household in the Great Qin family will not be able to fill in the service, but now these projects are still being implemented, and they are bound to be imposed on the head of Qian."

"Daqin consumes so much people's power, how can the world not complain?"

Ji Heng glanced at Bo Qin lightly, and said slowly: "You can see that these are good. ”

"But not enough."

"The reason why Daqin will end up with the people's resentment and boiling."

"Actually, there is only one reason."

"Arrogance!"

"Imperial arrogance."

"This arrogance does not come from one person, but the entire monarch of Great Qin."

"Or even the whole system!"

"At the beginning of the founding of the Great Qin, he swore to the world that in the future, it was necessary to reform the Chinese civilization, to consolidate the mountains and rivers of China, to sweep away the accumulated shortcomings of China, and to rebuild the Chinese civilization, to reorganize the rivers and mountains, and to make the world peaceful forever."

"This statement of transcending the past and the present is indeed inspiring."

"It has also attracted the attention of people all over the world."

"At the beginning of the founding of the Great Qin, it did begin to govern with thunder and lightning, and drastically rectified the world's shortcomings."

"Renew the bureaucratic system and centralize power for governance."

"With the rule of counties and counties as the foundation, the purpose of seeking to govern the world, the focus on the administration of politics and the people, and the centralization of governance power in the center as the axis."

"Supplemented by the county system, to achieve effective top-down governance."

"Things are in all directions, and they must be in the center."

"It even came up with a system of township officials, that is, the three-level people's governance at the grassroots level."

"Township, pavilion, li."

"But at the end of the day, it's all about the middle and upper floors."

"But what about the lower levels?"

"What about the lowest beings?"

"The Great Qin Dynasty has never considered it."

"Because the court hopes that the bottom layer will always remain the same, only in this way will the bottom layer be forever a cow and a horse, a mermaid and a man, and a slaughter, without the slightest strength to resist."

"Therefore, after the founding of the Great Qin, the household registration system of the past was strictly enforced."

"Man is born to determine his destiny."

"The people are to be obedient."

"Make the chicken at night, let the raccoon dog hold the mouse, all use their energy, and there is nothing to do."

"The strict household registration system of Daqin is like a mountain, a thunder pond, and a moat for ordinary people."

"And the court hopes that the bottom can farm and serve as soldiers from generation to generation, following the profit delineated by Shang Ying."

"The reason why Shang Ying did this was to enrich the country and strengthen the army, but with the unification of the world, the military merit system is almost half abandoned, and there is no way to rise at the bottom.

"Yes."

"But the whole court will pretend not to know."

"Because no one cares about the bottom, and no one cares about whether the bottom has emotions or not, this is also the result of the imperial court."

"Let the bottom always be content with the destiny of heaven, keep to themselves, and continue to be willingly dominated by others, the court arrogantly believes that the bottom dare not have emotions, let alone any dissatisfaction."

"It's just that this time, Da Qin was wrong."

"After hundreds of years of gradual enlightenment, more and more people will no longer choose to die in silence, but will choose to explode in silence one after another."

"It's just that tipping point hasn't been reached yet."

"But soon!"

"Daqin's top-down management system has ignored the underlying foundation from beginning to end, but there is no solid underlying foundation, and no matter how perfect the upper design is, it is just an empty shell of strong and middle-class cadres on the outside, and it will fall down at a touch."

"In the past, there was no problem with what Great Qin did."

"But times are different."

"Under the centralized system, the people have gradually transitioned from 'constant producers' to the bottom."

"And Daqin has been ignoring a fatal point."

"Public-private relations!"

"If Daqin continues to be so domineering, continues to be so high-minded, and continues to treat the people like grass mustard, one day, these grass mustard will become the last straw that crushes Great Qin."

"It won't be too long."

Ji Heng shook his head.

I continued to eat my meal.

The substructure determines the superstructure, in the words of the Qin Dynasty.

It's Guan Zhong's sentence.

Cang Liao knows etiquette, food and clothing are enough to know honor and disgrace, and the degree of service is six relatives and solid.

Great Qin's arrogance towards the bottom from top to bottom will eventually bury this arrogant and invincible huge empire.
