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

......

The sergeant in charge of supervising Li Erniu is called Wang Fang, a young soldier. Although he is not very old, he has been in the army for quite a while.

After learning about the problem Li Erniu reported, he was immediately shocked.

Don't be lazy, report it immediately...

After all these layers of information were passed up, the news came to Wang Ben...

In the military camp.

Wang Ben is dealing with various matters.

This was the first time that the military was in charge of 600,000 corvées. Although it was the same as military governance, Wang Ben understood that the difference must be huge.

After all, one is for opening up new land, and the other is for going to the battlefield. A slight mistake can lead to a huge error.

Even with Wang Ben's ability, it would take time to get familiar with it...

And just at this moment...

"General!"

The voices of Wang Ben's personal soldiers were heard outside the tent...

"Come in."

Wang Ben stopped writing and looked up at the door...

The bodyguard came in.

"What's the matter?"

Wang Ben looked at his personal soldiers...

"General, someone below reported that recently there have been frequent people sneaking into the reclamation camp. Someone just reported that someone wants to apply for corvée service and wants to open up wasteland with us in Xianyang!"

"what?"

Wang Ben suddenly stood up, with an incredible look on his face...

Like most people, Wang Ben's thinking is still in the inertial thinking...

Under normal circumstances, corvée labor, these two words are a nightmare for the people of Qin!

Who the hell would volunteer to do corvee labor?

Wang Ben's face was filled with disbelief...

At this time, Wang Ben's personal soldiers smiled bitterly and said, "General, you don't know that corvée labor here has become very popular. I just asked the people below and found out that many people nearby have secretly registered as corvée laborers in the camp and are secretly helping them to open up wasteland..."

"I'm afraid there are already 100,000 more people in the military camp now..."

"What!!!?"

Wang Ben was stunned...

"Why... why is this happening?"

Wang Ben is not Li Jie....

"General, you don't know that corvée labor here is very popular nowadays. The whole Xianyang city has heard about it and most of the people want to do corvée labor!"

"If some people weren't concerned about the reputation of corvée labor, I'm afraid the number of people would be even greater!"

After hearing what his personal soldier said, Wang Ben was unable to recover for a long time...

It was only after a long while that Wang Ben came back to his senses.

When he regained his composure, he immediately figured out the key.

In fact, this thing is not difficult to think of, but I just didn’t think about it in this way before…

Judging from the current policy of the imperial court towards these 600,000 corvées, they will be provided with free water wheels and curved plows, and also with food and lodging. This is very important!

In the Qin Dynasty, where curved plows and water wheels were not yet popular, the work efficiency of the corvée army, which had mastered the use of advanced technology, was obviously extremely amazing!

Even though 70% of the grain grown had to be handed over to the imperial court, when you calculate it this way, doing corvée labor was still a huge profit!

Of course, there is a key point here.

The key lies in the land!

If you farm on your own, even with a curved plow and a waterwheel, your output will still not be as good as doing corvée labor....

The first is work enthusiasm. Under the supervision of military control, corvée laborers will unleash extremely strong work capabilities.

If it were the previous management method, everyone might still be hesitant and worried about being beaten to death. However, when Fusu issued a notice directly telling all corvée laborers that any case of beating someone to death or serious unfair punishment could be reported directly to the court, the people no longer had any last bit of concern.

As a man, what’s there to be afraid of if you suffer a little bit of hardship and fatigue?

As long as you don’t kill me, then do it to death!

As long as you don’t lose your arms and legs or your life, everything else is just a small matter!

There are many young and strong people who lack perseverance but want to make money by farming, and they hope to become corvée laborers, because there are people to supervise them. On weekdays, they are idle and dare not face the problem, they are possessed by laziness, fishing for three days and drying the net for two days. Here, there are people to supervise them, and with the rich environment of pioneering, the efficiency will be greatly improved!
