Chapter 120 Why did King Qin suddenly change?
“I dare to ask you, what would you think if the original Qin laws were really imposed on us?”
No one can answer this question, but everyone knows the answer, it must be It's fear and fear, and at the same time holding back resentment and anger!
The drinker did not expect that anyone would answer his question out loud, and said: "The original Qin law can make Qin strong and unified, but it may not be suitable for the unified world. The King of Qin is really extraordinary. He actually had the courage to amend the laws of Qin, and He deserves to be the lord of the world!”
The drinker praised the King of Qin: “This is also the best time to revise the laws of Qin. Before he proclaimed himself emperor, it was spread throughout the world, and the whole world was celebrating. It was the right time. When the country is unified, the emperor comes out.”
The King of Qin is incredible. This move will gain the hearts of the world, appease the originally uneasy people of the six kingdoms, and make the world quickly stabilize after unification.
Another drinker said: "Not only is it a 'suspended punishment', I heard that it will also be a 'light corvee, a small tax collection'. Although I don't know how 'light' or 'thin' it is, it is better than me." Wait for what you wanted before."
Another drinker said: "This is it. I have also heard from people that the old Qin people's "light corvee service and meager tax collection" are more generous than ours." "Bo Fu Lian" was more generous than them, but the drinkers in the wine shop were not dissatisfied.
After all, the people of Qin are meritorious people who fought under the command of the King of Qin, so they deserve preferential treatment.
On the contrary, if there is no preferential treatment, it will make them think that King Qin is a cold and cold person.
How can he be kind to the people who have made great contributions to conquering the world for him if he doesn’t treat them harshly?
No, one of the drinkers said: "The people of Qin have made great contributions to the King of Qin, and the King of Qin treats them preferentially, which is right. We have no merits, but we can also 'light the corvee and pay less'. We are already the King of Qin. Such kindness.”
These words made all the drinkers nod.
As the common people of the enemy country of Qin, it would be fine if the King of Qin did not punish them to death, but he was still willing to let them "light corvee and thin tax". This is not benevolence. What is it?
Seeing this scene, the handsome young man in the corner of the restaurant sighed secretly and put down his chopsticks.
Not long ago, these Qi people were still afraid of the King of Qin, treating him like a tiger and fearing him like a snake and scorpion. Now they actually started to call the King of Qin benevolent.
You are people of Qi. The King of Qin has captured your king and captured your country. You don’t want to take revenge, but you still sing praises to the enemy king?
The drinker who said that the old Qin people were "lighter in corvee and less generous in tax" said: "As far as I know, the King of Qin has not always made the old Qin people better than us. He has set a In time, ten years from now, we will be the same as the old Qin people, and there will be no difference. If there is excellent local governance during these ten years, the time will be shortened. ”
The first point the drinker said was exactly what Wang Wan proposed to improve the level of the law, step by step, and the latter point was supplemented by Li Nian.
By setting up such rewards, the local people can be better governed, encourage them to actively integrate into the Great Qin, and strive to become good citizens of the Great Qin.
This aroused the interest of all the drinkers, and they asked this drinker: "May I ask what 'excellent governance' means? How to shorten the time?"
The drinker said: "Me too It’s not very clear. It is said that the use of Qin money and Qin words will be counted among them.”
The young man in the corner sighed secretly again. With his wisdom, he didn’t understand that the King of Qin was not only a person. To win the hearts and minds of the people of the world, we must also unify the coins and words of the world.
But he also admitted in his heart that this method was very good. Let the people see that there are benefits to be gained, and induce them to take the initiative to use Qin Wen and Qin money. It is better than rough and forceful orders to implement it, and is more likely to be adopted by the people. accept.
People are often like this. When they are forced to do something, they will feel dissatisfied even if it is good for them. But if there is a visible reward, they will be willing to do it, even if it is very difficult to do. Good job.
Just like working overtime, is it what people hate about working overtime? Not at all. The annoying thing is that there is no reasonable overtime pay for overtime work. If the overtime pay given by the boss is adequate, the complaints will be reduced by half.
But now many bosses are even more arrogant than Zhou Papi. They don’t get much overtime pay, but they still want people to work hard overtime.
I want the horse to run, but I also want the horse not to eat grass.
When the other drinkers heard this, they just used Qin money and Qin Wen, what a big deal. And their attitude fell into the eyes of the young man, making him feel more and more hopeless for the future.
Another drinker said: "I have also heard something. It is said that the King of Qin specially prepared a few gifts in order for the whole world to celebrate and have fun with all the people, that is, to have fun with us."
Many drinkers looked at this person , a drinker was surprised and said: "A king can actually prepare gifts for us? This is the first time I have ever encountered this in my life!"
It would have been nice for the aloof king not to force them to give gifts, but also to prepare gifts for them. , inviting them to join in the fun is simply strange!
Another drinker asked curiously: "What kind of gift is it?"
The drinker who said that King Qin had prepared several gifts shook his head: "I only heard that there are gifts, but I don't know what they are. This matter is being spread around the world, and you will know about it later. It should be true."
< br>This drinker is not a local, but comes from out of town.
The surprised drinker asked: "What gift can you give to me and everyone else?"
The curious drinker guessed: "It can't be money and food, it can be something like the law. . ”
This made the drinkers agree, if we give money and food to everyone in the world, how much food will we get?
It must be something like a law that can benefit them without wasting money or food.
At this time, a drinker suddenly raised a question: "Everyone, it is indeed a good thing for the King of Qin to suspend punishments, light corvees, and thin taxes and collect taxes. But if the King of Qin needs to use corvees, money and food, he will , and where did it come from?”
This question is also what the handsome young man is thinking about.
"The corvee is light, the tax is small and the tax is collected". With less money and food collected from the people, how can King Qin maintain his army of tigers and wolves? How to make the whole world work?
After unifying the world, the territory expanded several times, and the corvee and taxes that needed to be levied also doubled. Where did King Qin get so much money and food?
According to the young man's analysis and understanding of King Qin over the years, he is by no means a person who would harm himself in order to benefit the people. There must be a deeper reason, and that reason is in Xianyang. It is that reason that has led to all these changes, beyond His expectations.
The young man raised his head and looked to the west, his eyes seemed to penetrate the space and saw Xianyang of Qin.
Originally, in his judgment, Qin seemed strong, but it had fatal weaknesses. From his perspective, it was difficult for the King of Qin who had accomplished unparalleled achievements to correct these weaknesses.
The young man thought he could see the character of the King of Qin very clearly. He was impatient, domineering, and arrogant. He would not think that there was any problem with his Great Qin, nor would he think that anyone would dare to resist him.
It’s no wonder that he is arrogant and arrogant. How many people can accomplish such great things as destroying six kingdoms and unifying the world without feeling proud and satisfied?
