General Qin

Qin's Li, which is equivalent to the residential quarters of later generations, is a closed structure.

Each ri is surrounded by an "inner wall", and its height is about seven feet, which is about the height of an average adult man.

There is a door on the inner wall, which is guarded by a special inner prison gate.

This prison gate is equivalent to the security guard of later generations. His daily job is to get up in the morning to open the door and close it at night. He is also responsible for fire prevention and anti-theft, but this job is not easy.

Qin Law stipulated that if Limen was burned by fire, he would be fined with a shield.

Entering the inner gate, there is a passage with a fixed width, called the inner alley. There are residences arranged in long strips on both sides of the laneway.

The one on the left side of the lane is called Lu Zuo, and the poor live there.

The one on the right is Luyou, where the rich and powerful live.

The residence Zhao Tuo was assigned to was in the depths of Luyou, and it was an official residence.

He opened the door of the house with the key (key) given by Lidian, and walked in with Heng.

This mansion is very large, inside the courtyard wall is not only the house to live in, but also a large courtyard outside the house.

There are more than 20 mulberry trees planted in the open space of the courtyard, and they are opening their bare branches to welcome the arrival of the new owner. A gust of wind blows, rolls up the thick fallen leaves on the ground, and flies in the air.

There is a well in the clearing, and there is a collapsed barn not far away.

There is a drain pipe in the corner of the yard specially used to drain sewage, but it has long been blocked.

Although the house in the middle did not collapse like the barn, it also appeared to be in disrepair because the original owner was punished as a slave and left unattended. The portals are even more densely covered with cobwebs, and the floor is covered with dust.

Although it looked dilapidated at first glance, Zhao Tuo was very satisfied.

Here, he finally has a home, no longer a rootless duckling, drifting everywhere.

Yokoi behind him stared blankly at the house.

Without hesitation, Zhao Tuo and Heng immediately began to clean the long-abandoned house.

In the afternoon, the two of them finally cleaned the house. Although it still looked dilapidated, it was barely livable.

Just add some furniture, raise a yellow dog to watch the house in the front yard, and add two pigs in the pen at the back of the house, and you will feel like a home immediately.

Zhao Tuo even had an idea in his heart to settle down here and live an ordinary life.

But this thought was just an idea, and he was directly killed by him.

impossible.

In this era, it is impossible for ordinary people to survive!

Not to mention the Daxing corvee after the reunification, which caused countless people to rush for their lives. It is said that if Zhao Tuo did not change this era and everything developed according to the original history, then twenty years later, in the troubled times of the end of Qin Dynasty, the overlord would personally plow the entire Guanzhong.

Burning Xianyang, burning, killing and looting, which Qin people can escape?

So Zhao Tuo had to work hard while he still had time to climb up.

Only by climbing higher and mastering more power can he have the ability to change history and gain a chance of life in the troubled times of the future. This is why he wants to join the army and make meritorious service.

When Zhao Tuo and Heng finished cleaning the house, Li Dian with the gray beard came again.

This time, Tian Dian, who is in charge of farming affairs, accompanied him.

This Tian Dian has the title of Shangzao, with a red headband in his right bun, which is different from the brown scarf on Zhao Tuo's head. He glanced at Zhao Tuo and Heng, with a businesslike look: "Follow me to see the fields."

"only"

Zhao Tuo was a little excited, this is going to divide the land!

After all, it is the first piece of land that I own in this era, and this is my own land!

But Zhao Tuo's excited mood didn't last long, because he and Heng followed Tian Dian out of the inner wall, shuttled through the large farmland for a long time, walked nearly three miles, and only saw the allotment for him near the woodland. field.

too big!

Qin system, one hectare, one hundred mu.

Zhao Tuo succeeded in settling down, and according to the Qin State's policy of letting people out, he could be allocated one hectare of land. After being upgraded to the title of duke, he was rewarded with another hectare of land, which added up to two hundred acres!

What is this concept?

Originally, according to the weekly system, one mu of land was 1 step wide and 100 steps long.

However, when Shang Yang reformed, he believed that "with one man's spare energy, the land will not be exhausted, so he reorganized two hundred and forty steps into mu, and one hundred mu was given to one husband."

One mu in the Qin Dynasty became 240 steps long.

Zhao Tuo calculated that a step in this era is six feet long, which is approximately equal to 1.38 meters in later generations. The area of ​​one mu of land is almost 457.056 square meters.

And 100 mu is 45,705 square meters, Zhao Tuo owns 200 mu of land, wouldn't it be 91,410 square meters!

Zhao Tuo's eyes began to dizzy again. If you add the land that was allocated to him, the area of ​​the field owned by the two of them is frighteningly large, it is more than 100,000 square meters!

He is still only a duke, if the title continues to rise, he will get 45,000 square meters of land for each level... It's terrible!

But soon under Tian Dian's popularization of the law, Zhao Tuo's hot heart gradually cooled down again.

So much land is not for you white, you have to pay taxes.

Qin's taxation system included land rent and drafts levied according to the number of acres of land.

As well as the money and gifts calculated on a per capita basis.

Finally, every man from Fu nationality has to serve a month of corvee every year.

Counting an ordinary family digging food in the field, most of the harvest will be taken away, and there will not be much savings left in a year, let alone want to make a fortune by farming.

"The productivity is still not good. There are no chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and there is no advanced technology. The yield per mu is too low. Coupled with the unstable environment, the future of farming in this era is not great."

Zhao Tuo soon lost his thoughts on farming. Although the farmland in front of him was huge, he had no intention of plowing it himself.

On the contrary, the eyes of the side looking at him glowed. The Zhao country where he lived had been in war for many years, coupled with the serious land annexation, how could he have the chance to get so many fields at once.

After seeing off Tian Dian, Zhao Tuo and Heng returned to their house in Chaoyangli.

Along the way, all the residents of Lizhong on the road looked at them curiously, but because the two had just settled here, no one greeted them before they got to know each other well, so the uncle of Lijianmen, who guarded the Limen, gave them some advice. Check the opening and closing time of the door so that they don't run around at night.

Hengyuan also disposed of a small house on Luzuo, but this guy now considers himself Zhao Tuo's servant and volunteers to live with Zhao Tuo, following him day and night.

Zhao Tuo was also willing to speak with more than one person, so he agreed.

At night, because of all the troubles during the day, Heng had already slept in the hut.

Zhao Tuo couldn't sleep, he was walking in the yard in front of the house, looking at the half moon in the sky, with flames burning in his eyes.

"Although the farmhouse is good, it's not suitable for me. Now I should take advantage of Qin's opportunity to destroy the six kingdoms to gain military merits, so that I can be able to speak in the future. I just don't know when King Qin will send troops to destroy Yan?"

Zhao Tuo's waiting did not last long.

After a few days.

King Lang Wei, who had met once, left his relatives and went to Chaoyangli, and he brought the king's order.

Zhao Tuo was ordered to enter the palace and meet the King of Qin.

"Tongdian · State and County Four": The weekly system is based on a hundred acres, and one hundred acres is given to one husband. Shang Yang Zuoqin, with more than one husband's strength, has endless land benefits, so he reorganized two hundred and forty steps into mu, and one hundred mu was given to one husband. Also, because the land of Qin is vast and sparsely populated, and the land of Jin is narrow and densely populated, the people of the Three Jins were lured to take advantage of the land of Qin, giving their fields and houses a favor and bringing them back to their children and grandchildren.

"Shang Junshu · Territory": The one who wins the first rank will be awarded the first rank, and one hectare of land will be benefited

"Shuowen": 畮 (mu), six feet is a step, and a hundred steps is a 畮. Qin Tian's two hundred and forty steps are 畮.
