The Qin army expanded too fast.The ethnic minorities they came into contact with before were the Xiqiang, and then the Yuezhi.Qin people know about Xiqiang.But only a few people understand and know some languages.But Qin Jun hit the Western Regions all at once.Then the language problem becomes huge.The Qin people never thought of such a problem.
The military power of the Qin army almost directly destroyed the civilization of the opponent. The local people either became slaves or became ghosts under the knife. The flow of local people was very large.Moreover, the expansion was too fast, so that Qin State itself did not know what kind of people they were going to contact, that is, the people of Qin State did not understand the local situation at all, and then quickly sent troops to occupy it, and then all of them were mixed together and escorted to the country. The interior of Qin State was finally dispersed to various regions.In this way, Qin Guo would not be able to understand even if he wanted to know.Because the people on this land have been scattered by the Qin State.Even if you want to know, it may be difficult to gather together.
Not only these, but also the records of local civilization, some gestures, characters, and some decorations were all snatched up by the people of Qin. There are so many countries in the Western Regions, and the people of Qin are not interested in knowing them at all. After the land is often robbed directly, what is valuable is what to grab.Those who could not be robbed were also deliberately destroyed. The local civilization was destroyed a lot by the Qin army.The Qin army violently opened the doors of these countries, and the following mercenary groups, slave traders, and various businessmen who took the opportunity to amass wealth directly destroyed these civilizations.
There are various museums in Qin State.These museums have greatly opened the eyes of the Qin people. The Qin people have an openness that was rare in the era of war results, but this openness is extremely destructive.A large number of various civilizations from the Western Regions were scavenged to the mainland of Qin in different ways.In the process of looting, many cultural relics were mercilessly destroyed, or they were reduced to a piece of civilized artifacts, but these Qin people who robbed them had no such awareness at all. Looting.As a result, the things came into the hands of the people of Qin, but the people of Qin didn't even know what they were.
The worst thing is that some local gestures and slates that record texts have been largely destroyed.The population loss on these lands has been very serious, and the loss of population has also caused the loss of the civilization carrier of these people, and the further destruction of the Qin people, but the local civilization gradually disappeared.
There are a large number of precious products in the museums of Qin State.Many of these products come from the Western Regions, but unfortunately, the people of Qin have no idea what these things are.Some interested people went to study, but when they arrived in the Western Regions, the Western Regions had become extremely chaotic.They have no way of doing it.
The destruction of this civilization has led to a serious lack of language in the Western Regions for Qin people. In addition, Qin State lacks such talents, or no one understands the Western Regions at all.As a result, something like this happened today.The background reflected in such a thing is regrettable.
1587 Because of the economy of Qin State
And these policies that destroy civilization are all planned by Shang Wen.Because Shangwen knew that if the local people were still there, it would be very troublesome for Qin to control, and the special terrain and landform of the Western Regions, the narrow and long Hexi Corridor could easily be cut off by the Huns going south, or the Qiang people going north.In this way, the connection between the Western Regions and Guanzhong was lost.Once contact is lost, these areas will become an enclave of Qin.If Qin State cannot control it, it will be very troublesome for Qin State to solve it.In order to prevent such troubles.Shang Wen had to implement such a policy.In this way, Qin's governance resistance in the Western Regions was reduced to a minimum.Plus Qin's immigration policy.All these allowed Qin State to quickly control the areas occupied by Qin State.As for the negative situation, although Shangwen knew about it, he had never been to the Western Regions at all, so he couldn't know the specific situation.
"These are glass?" Mo Li said looking at the glass Shang Wen made.
"Yes. It's glass." Shang Wen said.
"How is it?" Shang Wen asked.
"En. Not bad. It's just fragile." Mo Li said, looking at the glass bottle.
Shangwen pursed his lips when he heard it.
"It's not good to praise people." Shang Wen said.
"I want to get out of here as soon as possible. The goods I can provide them are just these. Glassware, boiling salt, if they modify their ships, they can trade, these things, they will develop rapidly With these things, they can go north to Yan State, east to the Korean Peninsula, and south to Chu State. Even if they don’t produce food, they can rely on these things in exchange for food.” Shang Wen said.
"Get out of here, you can't go back." Mo Li threatened.
"I will go back. I will convince Mo Lao. Your Mo family is reasonable. So, I believe I can persuade Mo Lao." Shang Wen said.
"Mister. Sir." At this moment, the voices of several children came running from outside the house.
"Sir. Sir, we brought you the newspaper you asked for. What a good thing for us this time!" The children surrounded Shangwen excitedly.Shangwen needs a lot of newspapers to understand the situation outside.But Shangwen couldn't collect so many newspapers by himself, so he exchanged his own research results, such as paper of various colors, but mainly red, because red dye is easy to find and very cheap.Or it's gunpowder. Shangwen made a few firecrackers for the opponent to play.And these new things seem to make Shangwen the biggest kid king in this village, and the children also think that this gentleman is very good, so they work hard to collect newspapers.Then exchange for different playthings.
"Sir, do you have any good things, please let us see." The children quickly surrounded Shang Wen.Mo Li on the side looked at the big kid king.
"Look, do you know what it is?" Shangwen said while taking out a piece of glass.
"Glass, this is glass. Mr. said it." A child said loudly.
"Yes. It's glass. However, these glasses have other uses. For example, they become uneven." Shang Wen said with a smile.You wait a moment.Shangwen immediately began to polish the glass sheet to make concave-convex lenses.A magnifying glass made of a convex mirror.And the telescope made by the interaction of concave and convex mirrors.These things are things that these children have never seen.Shangwen also explained some scientific knowledge to the children while making some.
And the kids naturally want to hear it.They think these things are magical.And Mo Li would stand aside and watch.Shangwen always uses real objects for education.Children also learn very quickly.
Even some adults are willing to follow such things as advocating literature.
"Sir. I want to be a scientist like you." A child said excitedly.
Shangwen just smiled.Herein lies the meaning of education.
"I never thought that Mister could get along well with the child." Mo Lao looked at Shang Wen with a smile.
"Hey." Shangwen just smiled slightly.
"Children are just curious and playful. It is much better to play well and actively learn things in such an atmosphere." Shang Wen said.
"In Qin, a child like this has a lot of things." Shang Wen continued.
"It seems that the master wants to go back to the Qin country?" Mo had already observed Shang Wen a long time ago.He felt that this Prime Minister of Qin State was different, but what were the specific differences, Mr. Mo wanted to know.
"En. I really want to go back. The current situation of Qin is not very good. Not only the situation of Qin, but the situation of the entire six countries is not very good." Shang Wen said.
"Don't you know that Mr. Mo reads newspapers?" Shang Wen asked.
"Well, sir, the old man will see it naturally." Mo Lao said.
"The newspaper I saw was the same as before. From this, it can be inferred that the situation in the six countries is very chaotic." Shang Wen said.
"Could it be that the master hastily returned to Qin to unify the world?" Elder Mo asked.
"No." Shang Wen replied.
"Unification is the general trend, but how to unify requires a method. If the Qin State blindly conquers by force, the result will inevitably be backlashed. The King of Qin and even many civil servants and generals of the Qin State are not aware of this. Therefore, I want to change these. Therefore, During my tenure, I did not send troops to the six countries for major military operations." Shang Wen said seriously.
"On the contrary, our state of Qin did not send troops. As a result, the six countries were in chaos. Zhao's high tariffs resulted in extremely poor living conditions for the people of Zhao. Internal fighting was extremely serious. Perhaps such struggles also occurred in Chu. And the worst It is the Qi State. The Qi State caused such a situation due to civil strife. The situation of the Qi people." Shang Wen did not continue.
"And these have nothing to do with Qin's sending troops. This also shows that these countries have been unable to control the situation, or they have directly caused their civil strife because of tax issues. Greed has become the root of their internal struggle. The nobles of these countries are too greedy It is." Shang Wen commented.
"You mean, the reason why Qin is unified is because of these nobles?" Elder Mo asked.
"En." Shangwen nodded.
"I think so, these nobles have lost their determination to forge ahead. Therefore, they have become more greedy. In order to maintain their greed, they can exploit others desperately. This is the case. Qin sent troops. These countries It will also be unified into Qin State naturally. This is the trend." Shang Wen said.
"En." Elder Mo nodded with interest.Obviously, Shangwen's point of view is very unique.This was the first time Mr. Mo had heard such an explanation.
"If that's the case, why is Mister so eager to return?" Elder Mo asked.
"Because of Qin's economy." Shang Wen replied.
1588 kill
"Qin's economy is the core of the current economy of the six countries." Shang Wen said.
"As far as I know, Qin's economy has temporarily stagnated. If this continues, it is bound to be unfavorable to Qin. At the same time, the situation in other countries is also unfavorable to Qin. For example, Zhao, Zhao's coal The output was cut off. At the same time, the people of Zhao Guo were taxed to death." Shang Wen gave an example.
"A person's livelihood needs at least half of their income to survive. However, Zhao's taxation has reached two-thirds. That is to say, Zhao people can't survive no matter how hard they work, because two-thirds of them are It was taken away ruthlessly. The reason why this part was taken away was because of the nobles." Shang Wen said.
"It was reported in Qin State newspapers that these nobles do not need to pay taxes, but now Zhao State is using money everywhere. Where does the money come from? Naturally, it is taxation. The taxation has reached an unimaginable level. It is very unfair to them," Shang Wen said.
"Not only Zhao, but also Chu. Chu's high taxes have begun to inhibit the development of commercial trade. Even though overseas trade is prosperous, these nobles of Chu want to suck up the money of these merchants like parasites. Nutrients. Think about it. These Chu merchants will definitely not go on like this." Shang Wen said.
"The current situation is that the taxes of Qin and South Korea are not high, and the taxes of other countries are relatively high. In this way, the trade between the two countries is greatly restricted. The citizens of these countries are taxed Died. There is simply no spare money to buy the goods we make, so for us, this is a flaw, and our economy has come to a standstill," Shang Wen said.
Meanwhile, Elder Mo still hadn't fully understood what Shang Wen meant by these words.
"Therefore, if Qin's economy is to develop, it is necessary to solve the problem of high taxes in these countries. These taxes are really too high." Shang Wen said.
"This is the reason why I want to go back. If these taxes are not resolved, these countries will be turned into a mess. This kind of chaos may enter the mode of war. Qin does not mind launching a war to destroy the taxation barrier system of these countries .” Shang Wen said.
"Sir, can you explain it again?" Mo Lao said.
The north of Qi.The long line of captives from the Chu army slowly approached, and they moved forward one by one in a single file.Because of hunger, but also because the person leading the lame food in front was too slow.
