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

Originally, if 600,000 corvées worked hard for a year, they could collect as much as the imperial court's tax revenue last year. If these two million corvées were all using curved plows and water wheels...

More than three times!

The income generated by these two million corvées alone was enough for the previous imperial court to collect taxes from all over the country for more than three years!

Earn three years' money in one year...hiss...

Moreover, the income of the court is the same as that of an individual. Individuals have to spend a fixed amount of money every year to maintain their lives, and the court also has to maintain normal expenses every year.

If you earn three years' worth of money in one year, the money left over should be the same as what you would normally earn in four or even five years!

Even...more years!

"Don't panic. The eldest son has already solved the food problem. It won't be a problem to feed two million corvées. Let the people below work hard to open up the wasteland. The eldest son has given them food, so they must work hard."

"Don't worry, General. The people below are fighting for their lives."

Wang Ben stood up and walked out of the tent.

Looking at the countless corvées working hard to open up wasteland in the camp, I couldn't help but imagine the future of the Qin Dynasty...

Half a year...What will happen to Daqin in half a year?

What will Daqin look like next year?

Looking forward to it...

In the pioneer camp.

Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Li Erniu and others were working as a team to farm.

As the sun was rising, the camp was already filled with the aroma of food...

.....

The laborers who were working in the camp also stopped and began to line up in an orderly manner to get their meals.

Wang Ben and the soldiers supervised and maintained order on the side.

There was quite a bit of trouble in the camp when people were getting food on the first day.

Because the food was so tempting, everyone lost their temper and a stampede almost occurred. Fortunately, Wang Ben led his army to intervene and manage the situation, thus avoiding a tragedy.

After that, those who did not queue up for food were directly punished, and the punishment was very simple: they were not given any food.

This punishment is fatal.

If it were normal times, it wouldn't really matter if I skipped one or two meals, but now everyone has food to eat, except me. Moreover, I have no food to eat at this critical moment of land reclamation. What does this mean?

This means that my strength is not as good as others! There is less land to be reclaimed, which delays at least half a day of reclamation!

What does it mean to delay land reclamation? It means that your income is affected.

This delays my making money!

The atmosphere in the camp is extremely hot right now. Many people are not only clearing the land during the day, but are also making fires at night! The enthusiasm is terrifying!

They start farming as soon as it gets light in the early morning, and secretly open up wasteland late at night.

If the cows could handle it, I estimate these people could drive for ten hours out of twelve hours a day!

After the first experience, everyone became more obedient, lined up and got their meals...

.....

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang joined the army later, so they did not experience the scene of getting food on the first day, but they did hear about it during their many days in the camp.

The huge rice buckets were carried to their respective teams...

"This imperial court is truly generous. This is the first time in my life that I have eaten such delicious food!"

Li Ergou was eating while mumbling...

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang on the side were also busy eating.

The bowl was full of rice.

Let alone Li Ergou, how many people in this world can eat as much as they want?

While eating the rice in his hand, Chen Sheng thought about his previous life at home...

Although the family produces a lot of grain from the crops, they dare not eat it without restraint. If they eat too much, if they run out of food before the autumn harvest next year, not only will they go hungry, but their whole family will!

The taxes from the court, the money from the local government, and the expenses of all matters at home all depend on the money from the grain from this land...
