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

Because the imperial court keeps fleecing the people!

Governing a country is like plucking wool. The harder you plucking the wool, the more wool you will harvest at home and the more money you will make from selling it.

Although wool can grow repeatedly, it takes time!

Continuous over-fleecing has completely made the sheep bald!

The people of Daqin have never had time to rest and recuperate, and their living standards have always been struggling on the survival line...

What does it mean to struggle on the survival line? For example, if you earn 10,000 yuan a year, but you need 5,000 yuan for food and water, then this 5,000 yuan is the survival line! The survival line for you and your family!

The current situation of the Qin Dynasty is that the people have been living under the situation of harvesting a certain amount of food and water every year for more than ten years. Except for food and water, all other things have been turned into various taxes and flowed into the national treasury and the aristocratic families...

This is why the Qin Dynasty was called the Tyrannical Qin Dynasty.

The greatest emperor in history does not conflict with the tyrannical Qin Dynasty.

To become an emperor of all ages, one must have outstanding achievements. Destroying the six kingdoms is a military achievement, while building the Great Wall and constructing the Great Road are civil governance. No matter whether it is military achievement or civil governance, it is the people who suffer when the emperor pretends to be cool.

It's the same for an emperor to show off as it is for an ordinary person. If you want to show off and have face, you have to spend more money.

Ordinary people spend money from their own pockets, but the emperor spends money from all over the country!

Therefore, the economy of the Qin Dynasty was on the verge of collapse, and the people's lives were miserable. Every year, almost every household had to have someone perform free labor service for the court, and they had to hand over all their income except for the money they needed to survive...

In this situation, I suddenly discovered that there is a place that provides food and accommodation and is not dangerous. At the same time, I can make money. The money I earn in one year is comparable to the money I earn in four years. If compared to saving money, it is even more terrifying!

A job like this...I wouldn't even trade it for a job as a civil servant!

Before, they were just concerned about the attitude of the imperial court, but after Wang Ben made his attitude clear and opened the door, the whole world was in an uproar!

The first to be affected were several counties near Xianyang, where countless young and strong men rushed to the reclamation camp from all directions and joined the large group of corvée laborers...

.....

"General, we can't go on like this! In just a few days, the number of our corvée laborers has exceeded one million. If more people come, I'm worried..."

Wang Ben's staff spoke up.

At this moment, Wang Ben was also trembling with fear when looking at the bamboo slips in front of him!

I hadn’t thought of this when I recruited Chen Sheng and Wu Guang!

In just a few days, four hundred thousand more corvée laborers were added!

This is crazy!

It's all crazy!

Countless people flocked to the scene, and they were all young and strong!

Before, it took a lot of effort to recruit people for corvée labor. It would not be an exaggeration to say that we should just arrest them! But now... everyone is rushing to do corvée labor, and some even come with their entire families!

Yes, the whole family!

Grandpa, father and son, with their respective wives...

People get married early in this era. According to seniority, he is a grandfather, but in fact he is only in his 40s or 50s, and his grandson is already in his teens. In Daqin, a teenager is already the pillar of the family.

Thinking of the number of 400,000, Wang Ben felt overwhelmed... He couldn't help but hold his head...

"So what do you think I should do now?"

Wang Ben looked at his staff beside him...

The aide was silent for a moment and then shook his head helplessly: "For now, we can only report it to the eldest master..."

"The current situation is out of control. We must report it to the eldest master as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the situation gets worse..."

Hearing this, Wang Ben's expression became serious and he immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Okay, I'll go to the palace to see the eldest master now!"

Wang Ben didn't dare to hesitate any longer.

The number of people in the reclamation camp is increasing rapidly, and the rate of increase is still high!
