Good Life in Qin Dynasty

Song Hongzi's blood boiled with Li Jiyang's few words, and he told Li Jiyang everything!

It turned out that these Mohists actually wrote letters in the second year of his arrival, and he didn't spend the salary that Li Jiyang gave him, so he sent them all back.

I also sent a letter, hoping that they would use the money as travel expenses to come to Qin, even if they don't serve anyone like him, at least they can have a place to settle in Qin.

As a result, they were so determined that they would rather stay in that poor place than come to join him in Qin State. He sent a letter urging him in half a year, sending back all the salary and bonus, which made the person who gave him the money worse. We all know the way there!

But just like that, these people didn't come, so he had no choice but to send it back as soon as he had money, entrusting them to the same caravan, and that caravan had a little friendship with him.

After such a long time, the other party wrote to him, asking him if Qin Anjun invented tofu?He said yes; and asked him if he invented the new farm tools?He just said yes; then ask him is the unicycle also?He also said yes...

It was hard to maintain the communication for more than a year. If you say that the transportation in ancient times was underdeveloped, this has just improved a bit. Okay, it’s time to catch up with the locust plague!

"They went through a lot of hardships on the way here, and they almost couldn't get out!" Song Hongzi's eyes turned red: "I'm so happy that they can come!"

"Where do they live?" Li Jiyang asked him, "Qi State?"

"It's from...Xiangcheng...^" Song Hongzi said in a low voice, "They escaped...."

Li Jiyang knew that in the Warring States period, it was Xiangcheng; in modern times it is very famous: it is now Fenyang City, Shanxi Province.

Xinghua Village is located there.

Linfen is one of the birthplaces of the Han nationality. "Emperor Century" said: "Yao's capital is Pingyang", which is now Linfen.

"Yu Gong" divides the world into Kyushu, and Pingyang is the land of Jizhou.Jizhou is located in the center of Kyushu, so it is called "China", "China"

This is where the word comes from.

During the Western Zhou Dynasty, King Cheng of Zhou named his younger brother Shuyu in Tang (now Yicheng). Because there was Jinshui in Tang territory, Shuyu's son, Xiefu, "changed Tang to Jin".

The Spring and Autumn Period belonged to the vassal state of Jin. When Jin Wengong dominated the north, the center of the Jin state was in the area of ​​Quwo, Houma, and Xiangfen.

In the early Warring States Period, Han, Zhao, and Wei "divided into Jin", and Han established Pingyang as his capital.

So, they came from Korea!

"Korea is not a big place?" Li Jiyang wondered, "How could it be so serious?"

Even Mohist was forced away, no wonder it was the first to be destroyed by Qin, and he couldn't keep this talent.

"But Qin's suppression of South Korea is too serious. In fact, South Korea didn't have much food last year. The nobles only care about enjoying themselves, and no one cares about people's livelihood." Song Hongzi said with a red face: "The money and treasures sent back by me can't be eaten. You can only eat them." As money for the journey, those cruel officials don’t let people flee, but they don’t care about everyone’s life or death, but they can sneak away at night if they give the money...”

Li Jiyang finally knew how the South Korean envoys got their money and treasures!

South Korea's economy has completely collapsed, and the king of Han only cares about enjoying himself. Without Zhang Ping, a prime minister who is good at people's livelihood management, South Korea has shown signs of decline earlier than in history.

Fortunately, the money that Song Hongzi kept bringing back made the way, and these people helped people all the way to Qin Anjun's mansion.

Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll starve to death on the way!

When these people came out after washing, what was waiting for them was not Qin Anjun, but the food prepared by Qin Anjun's mansion.

Because they are all the distinguished guests of the son, and I heard that they came all the way here as if they had escaped from a disaster, and there was no oil in their stomachs, so the kitchen didn't dare to make big fat meat for them to eat, but gave them white-cut beef, Chumi rice, Stewed tofu with dried vegetables.

These people were free to eat, and the kitchen allocated a large food plate for everyone, and the beef was cut a lot, enough for them to eat and have leftovers.

After washing up, the hair was dry after eating, and housekeeper Li Fu came with a servant to lead them to the place where they lived, because it was already dark at this time.

"Qin Anjun...don't you see us?" A young man asked Steward Li Fu nervously.

"No, the young master is thinking that everyone has come from a long distance, and those who have trekked mountains and rivers are also exhausted. Let's rest and recharge our spirits, and then have a good talk with you." Li Fu's housekeeper said: "Everyone, here is Young Master personally arranges a place for everyone to rest, and there are people outside from morning till night, just ask for anything you need, as long as Young Master can do it, it will be done!"

The young master has already said that this is a distinguished guest, so of course he must treat him well.

"Okay!" The old man looked at Butler Li Fu: "There are still many refugees fleeing famine outside the city, let them eat first."

"No!" Butler Li Fu bowed: "I'll do it now, little one, what else do you want?"

"Uh... gone." The old man didn't expect Steward Li Fu to actually agree.

"The little one is resigning." Steward Li Fu led the people away, leaving a room full of old, weak, sick and disabled booing each other.

"They really...?" A young man looked at the old man anxiously.

The old man was silent, and after a long while, he finally spoke: "If he can really do it, and Mo Zi takes refuge in him, then..."

On the other hand, Steward Li Fu had people open the granary and transported a lot of grain out. Outside Xianyang city, there were more than 100 victims of the famine, all of whom were old, weak, women and children.

The young ones abandoned them to find their own way of life, and they were thrown on the road. It was Mo Zhe who saw them all the way, led them, and gave them food and drink.

And they all came all the way with the Mozis, and they all depended on the grain they bought to feed themselves. Now that they arrived at the place, the Mozis had all left, and they didn't know where they were going.

Moreover, these people are all Koreans, and it was Mozi who took them along the mountain road to follow them all the way, otherwise Qin Jun would never let them pass.

Steward Li Fu reported the matter to Li Jiyang while opening the warehouse to release the grain.

"My lord..." Song Hongzi looked at him, hesitant to speak.

"How many people?" Li Jiyang asked.

"They didn't say anything." Steward Li Fu said in a low voice, "But they must all be hungry."

"Let's go and have a look first, bring some food and clothing, if there are not many people, then take it to Lijiazhuang." Li Jiyang has become a shelter, butler Li Fu took his things to have a look, come on, he has to do good deeds, Not only did they give food and drink, but they also took people to see a doctor. After packing up, they pulled a bullock cart and took people to Lijiazhuang with the old, weak, sick and disabled.

When they arrived at Lijiazhuang, they sent someone to report to Qin Anjun's mansion in Xianyang City.

Li Jiyang heard that they were all old, weak, sick and disabled: "Get settled down!"

Song Hongzi was right there at that time, and after he left the study hall, he went to the clan's courtyard early the next morning.

"How is it?" the old man asked Song Hongzi who entered the room.

"Everyone has been arranged in Lijiazhuang, and the young master said to settle down well." Song Hongzi stood there respectfully and replied, "Lijiazhuang has fields and houses, and the location is good. It won't make them difficult."

"Okay." The old man nodded.

Yesterday they ate light food, and this morning they ate not too heavy, steamed buns with beef and mutton, traditional food of Qin State.

These people lived in Qin Anjun's mansion. Song Hongzi showed them the pedal washing machine and the keel waterwheel he was developing. Three days later, the kitchen made them rich fermented bean curd and braised pork. Among these people, it turned out to be The old man likes braised pork with Chu rice best!

Li Jiyang thought that those people were the crystallization of the kindness of the Mohists, but after a few days after he went to court, he heard from Zhang Ping that many people from other countries came to Qin!

"Why?" Li Jiyang was shocked: "Didn't they look down on Qin?"

People in the vassal states think highly of themselves. Where is the state of Qin?That is where the low class people live. The ancestors of the state lord of Qin State were the servants who herded horses and sheep for Emperor Zhou!

Therefore, the status of Qin State among the people in the vassal states is very low!

On weekdays, no one cares about people from Qin.

Moreover, the laws of Qin State are harsh. As mentioned earlier, other countries do tax evasion, as long as they have money, they can redeem their sins, but Qin State can’t do it. Usually they know it, but they know it. It’s fine if they don’t catch it. , without discounting at all, even nobles can't help it!

So many people say that the Qin law is harsh, and they don't want to live in Qin because they are not used to it!

Why are you all going to Qin now?

"I heard that even the little nobles in South Korea don't have food seeds... and the common people are fleeing to Qin!" After all, Zhang Ping was born in South Korea. There is no emotion, and those are human lives!

"Oh." Li Jiyang nodded, life and death are at stake, these people don't care about those things anymore.

"Qin Anjun, can you tell the king..." Zhang Ping stammered, "...those people...are innocent civilians..."

"Don't worry about that. The state of Qin doesn't have many other things. They have enough food, but they can't cause trouble. They must abide by the laws of Qin, take root in Qin state, settle down and settle down, and guarantee the same treatment as Qin people." Li Jiyang knew this. What the times care about is population, without population, everything is in vain.

Without population, there would be no production, no labor, no military service, and no taxation!

He wished that all the population of South Korea would come to Qin!

At that time, they don't need to fight Qin, they can directly take over South Korea!

"Thank you, thank you Qin Anjun!" Zhang Ping was overjoyed.

"However, it has been agreed in advance that they are coming and settling down in the state of Qin. They will be people of the state of Qin. We can't let this matter pass, and they will go back and become Koreans." Li Jiyang does not want South Korea to become the state of Qin It's a big mistake.

"Of course!" Zhang Ping said seriously: "How did they come to Qin, don't they know? South Korea... Hmph! I don't think they can recover in three to five years."

The state of Qin implemented the strategy of "distance from distance and close attack". It was very serious and strict in suppressing South Korea, which was the weakest side. On New Year's Eve, South Korea gave the most generous gifts.

For three to five years, these people have also taken root in Qin State. Li Jiyang believes that with the current treatment of common people in Qin State, these people have no choice but to leave!

Upwards, this matter was also brought up. Population is an existence that every country attaches importance to.

Ying Zheng issued a new order to Li Si, isn't he in charge of the census now?These outsiders are also settled.

"These people can set up temporary household registration first. After ten years, they have lived a good life in our country of Qin, and there is no trace of crime in our records. They can settle in our country of Qin. Otherwise..." Li Jiyang suggested that the latter is not the case. It's up to everyone to come up with a solution.

"Bring me to the public." Gan Jing asked very normally, thinking that showing her to the public is already a very serious punishment, what a shame!

"Confiscate property!" Zhang Ping was strict with himself, and even stricter with his own people.

"If you dare to break the law with a temporary household registration, you will serve as a military service directly!!" Lu Buwei was even more ruthless, and directly proposed serving as a military service.

Then everyone started full punishment when they were in the Yizheng Hall, and then took a series of measures to regulate the foreign population.

Unanimously, they all put forward a regulation that foreigners should not be allowed to join the army!

Li Jiyang: "...!" It's really not the usual xenophobia!

In March, the land has been civilized, and the Qin State has introduced a policy of substituting work for relief, allowing the local people of the Qin State, on a household basis, to contribute a strong labor force and a stone of grain every day; a woman can only cook and wash clothes. Half a stone of grain every day.

The underage teenagers and old people over the age of 12 only need to light a fire and move firewood, and they still have half a stone of food every day.

For those over the age of six, there are special teachers to set up a temporary school, which provides two meals a day and does not eat at home, but they must study Qin law hard, as well as numeracy, and the school will distribute materials and make clothes.

For children, as long as they can walk and run, they have a meal every day, and they don’t need to do anything, just help the big guys watch something.

Seeing this, everyone understands, right?Basically, the imperial court supported a family of civilians!
