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

In addition to labor enthusiasm, there is also the issue of land.

Among the common people, land is limited. Even if they have a curved plow and a waterwheel, they do not have enough land to cultivate it. If they rent land from others, rent will be another part of the expenses.

In addition, there is also personal meals, which is an extremely high expense.

In addition, there are all kinds of miscellaneous money. Although the imperial court only collects 15% to 20% in taxes, if all the layers of exploitation are actually taken into account, the total amount to be paid is 50%!

As a result, it became a problem for one to farm to support his family, but if he joined the army of land reclamation and did corvée farming, he could earn as much in one year as he would from farming at home for four or five years!

Wang Ben understood the reason after a little thought.

But even though I had thought it through, I was still troubled by how to deal with Wang Ben...

This is the first time I have encountered such a thing, I have no experience...

As for corvée labor...I never thought that anyone would rush to do corvée labor...

Should we accept it or not?

"General, this..."

"Who wants to join my reclamation camp and become a corvée for my Great Qin?"

"They are a group of people who came from afar. The people of Xianyang have been making some moves in the past few days, but they are all just listed as corvée laborers. So although everyone knows about it, they did not stop it. However, these people want to do corvée labor... It is difficult to make a decision, so I reported it to the general..."

"Oh?"

Wang Ben raised his eyebrows and became interested...

It is understandable that the people of Xianyang chose to be nominally included, as they were concerned about the reputation of corvée labor. But what about these young people?

"Bring them here."

"Yes!"

......

at this time.

Li Erniu has already led Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Li Ergou and others into the reclamation camp...

As soon as they entered the camp, the surrounding scene instantly attracted Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and a dozen of their friends who followed them...

In the camp, everyone worked very hard to till the land....

"Erniu, where are the curved plow and the waterwheel?"

Chen Sheng looked around for a while, and was amazed at the enthusiasm and efficiency of the people working the land. However, after looking for a long time, he did not find the waterwheel and curved plow he had always dreamed of.

"It has not been widely popularized yet. There are still very few of them. But it doesn't matter. The eldest son has ordered all the craftsmen in Xianyang City to build the curved plow together. Oh, and the waterwheel, the waterwheel has already started to be built.

"this..."

Chen Sheng frowned slightly: "Erniu, you said that the number of curved plows used for these 600,000 corvées is so large, and there are also water wheels and oxen... The imperial treasury..."

"Oh, Shengzi, don't worry about it. If you talk about before, I definitely didn't know, but if you talk about the current Great Qin treasury, it is really too rich!"

"How to say?"

Hearing Li Erniu's confident words, everyone around him suddenly became interested and looked at Li Erniu curiously...

"It's normal that you don't know the court's policies because you are not in Xianyang. The Qin Dynasty today is very different from before!"

As he spoke, Li Erniu looked towards Xianyang, his eyes full of admiration...

"The eldest prince is in power in Xianyang now. The rules and regulations have changed dramatically compared to when Your Majesty was in charge!"

"What changes?"

"So what if the eldest son is in power?"

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang looked at each other, all of them were confused...

In fact, for everyone, it doesn’t matter who is in power. After all, the affairs of the court are the affairs of the court, and have little to do with ordinary people like us...

"Do you think the court is too far away from us? It has nothing to do with us?"

Li Erniu looked at everyone.

"Is not it?"

Li Erniu smiled slightly: "I thought so before, but later the court personally sent people to talk to us in the camp. After that, we realized that the affairs of the court are closely related to us!"
