Shuang Daqin Comparison, No Comparison, No Harm

"Li Si, how to fill the treasury?"

Ying Zheng looked serious.

Whether the treasury is empty or not is related to the rise and fall of a country.

For example, the Ming Dynasty in later generations.

Corruption in the officialdom, collusion with businessmen, earned most of the money, and made the country unable to collect taxes.

In the end, they wanted to recruit soldiers and buy horses for the Northern Expedition, but they couldn't afford the money.

Asking is no money!

Soldiers need money, horses need money, equipment need money, food and grass need money.

There are hundreds of thousands of troops and nearly one million expenditures every day.

The treasury can't get it out at all!

what's the result?

The army either disbanded and quit, or was bought by the enemy with a lot of money and rebelled.

so.

The money in the treasury is especially important!

at the moment.

Qin Guo is facing thorny troubles again.

They didn't recruit either.

Li Si's eyes showed a fierce look, and he said resolutely: "Raise taxes, ten dollars and seven taxes!"

Ten money and seven taxes.

That is to say, if the common people earn ten qian, they have to pay seven qian in taxes to Qin.

Compare it with the Han Dynasty.

The grain tax in the Han Dynasty was one in thirty.

That is.

The common people collected one hundred catties of rice, and only had to pay three to three catties of grain to the government.

And the ten money and seven taxes proposed by Li Si.

It is about 21 times the tax revenue of the Han Dynasty!

This is a heavy tax!

It is about the same as the common people have worked hard for a year, except for leaving some food for themselves to ensure that they will not starve to death.

the rest of the food.

Everything has to be handed over to the government...

For the people, life is worse than death!

"Ten coins...seven taxes..."

Hearing this astonishing ratio, even Ying Zheng himself was dumbfounded.

Look at it this way.

The people of Qin State can no longer be called human beings!

But livestock!

It is no different from cattle, sheep and pigs!

Just feed them a little food and let them work hard.

"King!"

Li Si lowered his voice and said deeply.

"The people are suffering for a while, and the great Qin will be benefited forever!"

"The other six countries will be conquered in the future, and the king will be an old Qin man, and he will be exempted from tax for three years!"

"Don't say three years!"

"As long as the king takes over the world!"

"Give the old Qin people a five-year tax exemption, or a ten-year tax exemption!"

"King!"

Li Si is a pragmatic person.

His ultimate ideal is to assist Ying Zheng to rule the world and spread the laws he made to the world!

So his goal is clear.

As long as the ideal can be achieved.

What does it matter if you wrong the old Qin people for a while?

this time.

Ying Zheng was persuaded again...

after all.

It is human instinct to seek comfort and relieve guilt for yourself.

Ying Zhenggui is an emperor through the ages, and there is no exception.

"Li Si, you are right."

"Although the old Qin people have been wronged today."

"But when the widows rule the world, they can repay the old Qin people."

"The widow, I won't be sorry for them."

However.

The fact is the opposite.

The state of Qin oppressed the old Qin people until the end of the state of Qin, and it never stopped.

Ying Zheng's words.

It's all about assuaging my guilt.

"So, Your Majesty!"

Seeing that Ying Zheng was relieved, Li Si was so excited.

"In order to fill the treasury, for the Qin army to be strong and strong!"

"Ten money and seven taxes must be promoted!"

After Li Si's comfort.

Ying Zheng also made up his mind.

"good!"

"Just ten dollars and seven taxes, Li Si, you are in charge!"

hear this.

Li Si was so happy that he wanted to dance a laser rain.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"In the future, the king will never treat the old Qin people badly!"

talking.

Li Si quit.

The screen changed.

It's harvest time again.

The people were harvesting grain in the fields, and many officials from the government were patrolling the fields.

Whenever the people finish harvesting the food.

People in the government will take seven tenths of it directly, leaving only a pitiful thirty percent for the common people.

So.

The people have no energy.

One by one slowly, feeling hopeless in life.

"Old man, are you finished?"

At this time.

An old woman collected all the food with the help of her son.

The officers and soldiers also surrounded them with smiles.

"Officer, it's over..."

The old woman was a little scared and hid behind her son.

The son felt a pain in his heart.

ask.

"Officer, do you really have to pay 70% of the grain tax?"

"If I really hand it over, it will be a problem for my family of four to eat."

Several officers and soldiers shook their heads helplessly.

"Brother, we can't do anything."

"This is the king's order."

"But don't be sad, the king said, after this difficult time, I will repay you double."

"It's called bitterness before sweetness. As the people of Qin, of course you have to contribute to Qin."

"The so-called strong country can make the people rich."

"Without a strong country, how can the people get rich?"

but.

Lies like that.

People have heard it countless times.

But there is nothing to do.

after all.

They have no weapons and cannot fight back.

Resistance will also be beaten to death, and even the whole family and neighbors will be implicated.

Even sitting method.

Let everyone in the state of Qin not dare to refuse the exploitation of the government.

Under all kinds of reluctance.

The old woman's son still handed over 70% of the grain.

at last.

Only 30% of the food was left, which was left in front of him.

The old woman wailed.

"Our family of four, how will we live in the future!"

The son comforted: "Mother, don't be afraid, my wife and I will eat less in the future."

Similar scenario.

It happened one after another in various parts of Qin State.
