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

Daqin is quietly changing...

.........

Outside Xianyang City.

in the wilderness.

Six hundred thousand corvées are working hard...

We have been here for a while and have been working for a while. When we were working here, everyone was stunned!

Li Erniu was requisitioned from the quarry to farm in the wilderness of Xianyang. After a year of corvée labor, Li Erniu felt a happiness he had never experienced before...

Until this moment, Li Erniu still felt that all this was just like a dream...

After arriving in this wilderness, the first order was issued from above.

The command was not to cultivate the land, but to build houses!

Build a big house! To accommodate everyone.

A big room with a large bunk bed, dozens or even hundreds of people can sleep in one room.

But even so, Li Erniu is extremely happy...

Not only is there a large bunk bed, but there is also a washroom.

The washroom directly uses the most advanced technology in Daqin - the waterwheel!

In fact, it is to divert the water from the river and then let the water flow through the washroom.

The design is simple, but very practical.

At present, before the cultivation has begun, the corvées have already built the framework of the house...

It can be seen from the prototype that compared with the previous harsh living environment, the living environment here is much better!

If the improvement of living environment alone is not enough to make Li Erniu feel extremely happy, it would not be enough to excite the 600,000 corvées.

What really excites everyone is the tangible benefits!

After arriving at the Xianyang wilderness, the military in charge of everyone conveyed Fusu's intentions to everyone.

The court distributed curved plows, built water wheels, and grain seeds for free. Everyone reclaimed wasteland and cultivated the land, and each person was directly responsible for the land they cultivated. After the autumn harvest, the grain was divided into 30% and 70% after deducting everyone's food expenses. The court took 70% and everyone took 30%...

At first glance, this policy does not seem to be very good. After all, the tax collected by the court on farmers is less than 20%, generally between one-eighth and one-fifth.

But the key issue is that, first of all, this is the 30:70 split after deducting the food rations!

The court did not deduct food rations from its taxes.

In addition, there is also your own identity!

I am not a farmer now, I am a corvée.

Everyone understood what corvée meant.

Corvée labor means compulsory labor, working for the country for free!

As a result, we have now gone directly from voluntary labor to being paid workers?

What the hell!

Isn't this a bloody profit?

In addition to these two points, many people secretly calculated the accounts after returning...

According to the court, the curved plow and waterwheel can increase farming efficiency by at least four or five times. That means... one person's work for one year can do the same as... working at home for four or five years?

Combining these points together...

Depend on!

There are always smart and capable people among the 600,000 corvées.

You wouldn't know if you didn't count it, but once you counted it, all the recruits became excited!

Bloody profit! What a bloody profit!

How can they come here to perform corvée labor? They are here to pick up money, right?

Although not everyone knows how to settle accounts, it is not necessary for everyone to do so. News spreads at an alarming speed.

Overnight, 600,000 people were forced to work as corvées, and everyone knew clearly what it meant to farm the land.

The more you farm, the more food you earn. Working here for one year is equivalent to working at home for two years!

And there is another crucial issue.

When working at home, there are still countless trivial matters to deal with, such as the wife at home, the children at home, and the elderly at home, these are all trivial matters.

These are all the weaknesses of being a man!

Now, I am alone, surrounded by people who share the same interests as me. If I were to devote myself to farming...
