Chapter Twenty-Seven: Backhand Planted a Thief's Stolen Goods for You (Chapter 3 is here!)
In the most central position on the central square of Xinzheng County, Daqin, a lot of people who eat melons have gathered at this moment, and today is the oath meeting once a month.
Xinzheng County is the new name of the Korean capital after it became the territory of the Qin State, and the central square is the core of this place, and there is a flag-raising platform in the center of the square. There is a black banner embroidered with a golden dragon and flowing water on it.
The people call it the Black Water Dragon Flag, some people say that the golden dragon symbolizes the king, those cloud patterns symbolize the civil and military officials, and the flowing water symbolizes the people of the Great Qin, and the background represents the countless savages of the Qin State.
Somehow, this explanation spread, and many Korean people were relieved to know this legend.
This is the Warring States period, and this is a world of great contention.
This is an era in which battles for the country often occur, and in this era, once there is a war for the country, it goes without saying that all the strong men will be conscripted into the army.
Among the women, the strong suitors, that is, the healthy women, are also required to serve in the military, but they do not need to go to the battlefield, but it is still common to do logistics work.
In the Battle of Changping in Qin and Zhao just a few decades ago, the Qin State levied an army of 800,000, and as long as the rear was still alive, it was necessary to serve in the conscription, and it was necessary to obey the imperial arrangements and make its own contribution to the Battle of Changping.
And now that the Qin State occupies Korea, it is also too strange that it has not robbed the wealth of the big guys (ordinary people), nor has it robbed the local women of Korea.
The imperial court suddenly frightened everyone so good, and the common people were frightened, and they always felt that the imperial court was holding back some bad tricks and wanted to make a big one at once.
When the system of Chinese and savage people was promulgated, the common people breathed a sigh of relief. When the Black Water Dragon Flag rises and falls every day, the people become more and more at ease.
In addition to peace of mind, I can't help but compare my previous life with my current life.
For the past four years, everyone has lived in hell. 2.7 million people to feed an army of 400,000, this is not hell, so what is hell?
Feeling the envious gaze of others, Zhang Liang and his father Zhang Ping stood in front of the flag-raising platform with many acquaintances, facing the Black Water Dragon Flag and the portrait of Ying Zheng and began to take the oath.
"I swear that I will voluntarily join the Empire and become a part of the Empire and fight for the Empire's advancement...... Oath-taker Zhang Ping!"
"This is the Chinese people!"
"They can be officials?"
"They can live in the city all the time!"
"Chinese, I want to be a countryman!"
After the oath-taking meeting, every citizen became an official. Even the worst are all nine-grade officials, as for Zhang Ping himself, he is directly a six-grade juncheng, and at this moment he is a juncheng of Xinzheng County!
With the active cooperation of the big man like him, the rest will be much smoother. In just half a month, more than 100,000 people have purchased textbooks for the imperial examination and literacy books.
Of course, this is also because today's books are sold at cost prices and are cheaper, otherwise the rest of the people will not be able to do so.
But even so, many people are illiterate, but they heard that books are cheap, so they gritted their teeth and bought such a book as an heirloom.
Half a month later, the Great Purge began.
A large army was dispatched to inspect village by village, and in coordination with the village chief, who had long taken root at the grassroots level, a strike hard was carried out. Nominally, it is to eliminate outlaws such as rangers, but in fact, it is aimed at those who do not follow the empire and are unwilling to go to the Korean fiefdom to be loyal vassals.
After a great purge, more than 1,000 people were killed on the spot, tens of thousands of people were reformed through labor, and a lot of wealth was confiscated, but this money was not favored by the empire. The most important thing for the empire was the confiscated lands, all according to the Qin law.
The first is that there are no people who surrender beforehand, and the property can only be kept by one percent. Taking advantage of this opportunity, all their fields will be confiscated, and even if there is still some land left, it will be forcibly redeemed by the imperial court at local prices.
Secondly, those who had colluded with the Qin army in advance and secretly surrendered could keep one-tenth of their property. The imperial court still forced redemptions, but the price was twice the local price.
The imperial court paid double the price to buy it, and in this period when Korea had just perished, who would dare to say no to the imperial court directly?
Even if he is not an anti-thief, he is also a Diao people!
Diao Min, whose name was remembered by the imperial court, do you still think about it in the future?
Only those who surrendered voluntarily and played a role in the war of extermination of Korea could keep all their property, but even their land limit was only 10,000 acres.
Because this is the bottom line of the imperial court, the law of Great Qin stipulates that no matter how high or low the status is, the upper limit of the land owned by you is 10,000 mu!
The extra land will still be forcibly redeemed by the imperial court, and the price is three times the price, which can be regarded as the court's reward for loyal ministers.
As for the question of whether there is enough money, Yingzheng has never been worried!
With a map of modern time and space, there is no shortage of minerals in Daqin.
There is black technology from the public loser and the Mo family, and Daqin does not lack mining technology. Even the two of them even came up with an autonomous mining robot.
Although Ying Zheng doesn't know what technology and power those automatic mining robots use, they can be used!
Copper ore is money these days!
If there is no shortage of mines, there is no shortage of money!
Moreover, the money for redemption is the latest new money minted by Shaofu, which is exquisite in appearance and highly skilled, and has a copper content of as much as seventy percent, which is very conscientious.
As for those two or five boys, it is really miserable, and after being discovered, raiding the house is just a standard treatment!
Nobles put to death!
Literate to death!
Death for those who practice martial arts!
The rest were reduced to slavery, and what awaited them was a ten-year, if not a lifetime, life in the mines.
In the study, Ying Zheng looked into the distance and listened to Wei Yanzi's report.
"Now that the whole of Korea has been initially mastered, the household has been completed, and it is divided into five counties, 68 counties, and 572 townships, with the largest Xinzheng County having a population of 1.5 million and the smallest having a population of 600,000. ”
"More than eighty percent of the township chiefs have been deputy township chiefs in the Qin State for several years, and they have enough work experience, and after a few months of running-in, the empire can be regarded as truly mastering Korea. ”
"So far, the total population of Korea is 5.32 million, of which 200,000 are Chinese, 5 million savages, and 120,000 slaves. Among the 200,000 people, 100,000 were migrated from my Great Qin. ”
"Overall, the number of Chinese people is still too small. However, given the pace of their learning, the total number of Malaysians is expected to grow to around 400,000 by this time next year. ”
400,000 native Chinese people, 100,000 Great Qin Chinese people, this is 500,000 Chinese people. It is possible to establish effective rule over 5 million savages by 500,000 nationals.
Even this kind of ruling efficiency is stronger than that of the vast majority of countries in history!
"Then 300,000 people migrated from Daqin, mainly those who had no land, or who could not inherit property. To publicize more, they came here to be the masters of the countrymen. ”
