Traveling through the Qin Dynasty, I seized the throne of Ying Zheng's father

Fortunately, I traveled through time to the Qin Dynasty. Although the Qin Dynasty had many problems, fortunately, the court officials were relatively capable and the army was quite strong.

A strong army can ensure the stability of the regime, and capable court officials do not need to do everything themselves.

As a time traveler, Fusu understands his strengths and weaknesses.

The advantage is that I have foresight and knowledge reserves that surpass my contemporaries, but this does not mean that I am omnipotent. There is a huge gap between theoretical knowledge and practical operations. Even the best policies need people to implement them.

Having a group of capable courtiers is like having an intelligent AI. All you need to do is input the outline of the plan, and the program will immediately generate and implement the complete plan.

..........

After some discussion, the national policy of 600,000 corvées for farming was completed at a very fast speed in front of Fusu...

In fact, the most important thing for improving a policy is the direction. As long as there is no problem with the direction, supplementing the details will be a piece of cake for Li Si and others!

"My Lord, if this national policy is implemented, the national strength of our Great Qin will rise to an unprecedented height next year!"

Feng Quji smiled.

Thinking of next year, all the officials present showed hope...

Although the Qin Dynasty had strong military power, it was a poor country.

It’s not that the Qin Dynasty has little money. The taxes of the Qin Dynasty court are very high, and the annual income is not low. It’s just that the people live a harder life, and the income of the Qin Dynasty court is not low.

But a high income does not mean being rich. The consumption of the Qin Dynasty is too horrific!

Hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in the north are constantly consuming food and grass...

Zhao Tuo in the south has just set out to fight, and he is another money-eating beast...

At the same time, the imperial court also built the Great Wall and the Afang Palace, and also maintained an army of more than 100,000 to guard Xianyang...

After the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, there were wars almost every year. Although the income was high, it was still not enough to cover the expenses. There was no chance to rest and recuperate!

The people were suffering even more.

Long-term high pressure, oh no, it can no longer be said to be long-term, it is long generations! For several generations in a row, they have been in a state of high pressure.

Nearly one-fifth of the grain grown each year has to be paid as various taxes, and the rest is exploited a little at various levels. It is barely enough to feed oneself, and in many cases one cannot even feed oneself.

In this case, they were forced to build the Great Wall, perform corvée labor, and serve in the military...

The total population of Daqin is about 30 million, and about 3 million people perform corvée labor every year! This ratio is not just exaggerated!

It seems that the total population is 30 million, but two-thirds of them are children, the elderly, the weak and women. The real young and strong people are only 10 million, or even less than 10 million! And 3 million of them have to serve in the military!

In other words, one out of three men has to serve in the military!

This proportion...is too big!

The people of Daqin live a hard life!

The court officials were naturally aware of this.

But there was no other way. The Qin Dynasty was like a large machine that moved all the way. It was impossible to stop for a few years to recuperate. What's more, Ying Zheng's age did not allow him to stop. He lacked time, so the operations became more and more frequent, and the people were under increasing pressure...

And now.......

After calculating the wealth that these 600,000 people could create for the court, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Daqin has always been in a state of tight capital chain and may collapse at any time.

Once the capital chain breaks and collapses, the entire Qin Dynasty will fall into complete chaos!

In fact, the Qin Dynasty’s capital chain could no longer hold up. The main reason why it still maintained superficial stability was because of the thorn in its side, Ying Zheng.

Qin Shihuang's reputation was too great, and this nail was too long, firmly nailing the entire Qin Dynasty.
