And these benefits immediately became an important part of Qin's national income through taxation. From this point of view, Qin became the biggest beneficiary country in the war.
Not only the wars in the north, Qin's wars everywhere are like this
For example, during the war in the north, Qin State won a large amount of pasture land and various mineral resources. There are abundant coal mines in the north. These coal mines are not as good in quality as Zhao State’s coal, but they are easy to mine. At the same time, there are also rich rare earth mines. These minerals are given to Qin State. Industry has brought huge assistants, especially in terms of technology development, Qin will use these rare earths to develop many mechanical equipment
During the wars in the Western Regions, the Qin State only acquired a large amount of land, various crops, and varying degrees of gold mines and other minerals. The temporary interests show that it is not very big.
In the south, the interests of Chu State and Qin State are getting closer and closer. Qin State exports a large amount of guns and ammunition to Chu State, and Chu State exports a large amount of agricultural products, various mineral resources, and slave resources. The Yue people in the south began to become the new source of slaves for Qin State. These slaves were transported to Bashu in Qin State through the Yangtze River waterway for farming and mineral development. The development of the south is accelerating.
These have all become part of the huge country of Qin State. The suspension of these parts will have a profound impact on this huge country. For example, the problem in the north makes Qin State feel very headache.
"The various forces of our Qin army are now all huddled in various cities and towns, and all the pastures have fallen into slavery. After that, our army is insufficient to defend and attack..." Meng Tian in the north sent such a telegram to King Qin. Seeing this The contents of this telegram gave King Qin a great headache.
"The price of beef and mutton in the Qin Kingdom has risen for seven consecutive days, I am afraid that the people of the Qin Kingdom may have no meat to eat," said a minister Shangzou.
Qin Wang impatiently waved his hand to signal that he knew.
The minister wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything when he saw King Qin like this.
"Have the people of Great Qin ever eaten beef and mutton before?" King Qin couldn't help asking secretly
899 Rich country and rich people
Best of luck to all candidates for the exam.
After the Qin State had the north, there was no lack of meat on the dining table of the Qin State
But after this habit becomes natural, if there is a small change suddenly, the people of Qin will feel a little unbearable. You know, they are used to it. Although they have not eaten meat for a year, it still hasn't changed Qin's meat-eating habit.
There is also a special variety in the futures market of Qin State, that is, the price of northern beef and mutton futures. This futures is designed to control the price of meat in Qin State. Affected by the slave riots in the north, the price of meat in Qin State has risen by more than one and a half. This half made housewives feel unbearable, so Qin's newspapers and media began to pay attention to this matter.
The slave riots in the north need to be quelled quickly to solve the food basket problem of the Qin people. The King of Qin is amused by this problem. Since when did the Qin people become so picky?
Yes, when did Qin people become so picky? You must know that Qin people didn’t have many opportunities and conditions to make picky career choices. Before they were born, they had already arranged to either work hard in the rear or become soldiers to fight on the battlefield.
But now the emergence of Shangwen has made the country more and more prosperous, but Qin’s original unification dream has gradually alienated Qin, as if occupying places that should not be occupied. King Qin sometimes thinks about these issues Shangwen’s thoughts No, or there are deviations in those places
The attitude of the six countries towards Qin has undergone a 180-degree change. In the past, the people of the six countries scolded Qin as a country of tigers and wolves, but now more and more people from the six countries are immigrating to the newly opened states of Qin. What is interesting is that the people of Qin and the six The people of the country do business, the people of the six countries scold the people of Qin less
Qin people no longer go out to fight. On the contrary, Qin people, Zhao people, Yan people, Chu people, Koreans, these people gradually went to Qin country to join mercenaries to fight Huns, Western Regions, etc. All these made the king of Qin very confused.
Faced with these new problems, Koreans are also confused. They are the closest neighbors to Qin, but they are powerless to stop Qin from expanding eastward. However, Qin has not moved eastward for a long time. On the contrary, they have established a friendly alliance with South Korea. South Korea has become Qin's last A good ally, South Korea has become a younger brother of Qin State. Qin State has set up its own concession area in South Korea and has Qin State’s ambassador to South Korea. South Korea also sent an ambassador to Qin State. The two sides have established close ties. There are roads, railways, and air lines. Qin people can freely enter and exit South Korea. The two countries have signed a very unequal agreement. Qin people can freely enter and exit South Korea, but Koreans cannot freely enter Qin.
But just like this, there is no gap between South Korea and Qin. On the contrary, Koreans are working hard to learn everything about Qin. Korean people think that everything about Qin is advanced, especially those ordinary college students in universities. They think that South Korea should learn from it. After Qin learns from Qin, it can become a powerful country like Qin. Only in this way will Qin treat South Korea as an equal.
The same is done in Korea now, the queen of Korea has sent troops to occupy Chendi and Korea has won a major victory. The people held a major night parade for this. They held torches around the palace of Han to celebrate their own victory in this special way.
But the Korean people still care about this powerful neighboring country. Every move of this neighboring country needs to be explained by someone, so universities have become an important place for Korean people to pay attention to and discuss Qin's every move.
"Dare to ask the Deputy Prime Minister?" a South Korean college student asked. This college student is a civilian college student. South Korea followed the example of Qin State and abolished slavery, that is, all Qin State people in Qin State are equal without slaves, and so is South Korea.
The new South Korean army was founded by slaves to join in and conquer the whole of South Korea. After ascending to the throne, Han Shu thought that it was better to use those slaves than to use the nobles. However, the status of slaves was low and difficult to convince the public. At the same time, the existence of the slave problem also affected the country’s industrialization path, so the Queen of Korea boldly abolished it. Since then, the country's slave system has been eliminated, and South Korea has no distinction between slaves and civilians. South Korea is all civilians. In this way, South Korea has been liberated
It is precisely because of this that Korean civilians love their motherland more because their identities have been promoted. These common college students are representatives of Korean civilians. They have not only obtained civilian status and equal social status, but the state has also provided them with education to give them a chance to study and be promoted. It is unbelievable to say that at the same time these Korean college students are also working very hard to learn and accept knowledge that they have never received
"Please speak" Zhang Liang stood on the stage and stretched out his hand and said
"Is Qin's national policy different from the previous national policy of farming and warfare?" asked the college student
"Oh why do you ask such a question?" Zhang Liang asked back
"Qin has not been out of the east for three years. Although it also sent troops to participate in the war in the Kanto, it was barely dabbled in it. Instead of sending a large army out of the pass to fight like before, it only sent an army the size of a small drum to participate in the battle. The number of them was only less than a thousand." Korean university student Tell Zhang Liang what he has observed
The emergence of newspapers allows the public to know what is happening in the world every day. Especially after the telegram appears, the speed of information dissemination is greatly accelerated. People can know what happened in Qin yesterday in the morning. What did the people of Qin do all day? What did the Koreans do? What did the Zhao people do? They even know what kind of pornographic news happened in Handan. For example, the minister’s concubine ran away and was kidnapped by slaves, etc. The college students use this kind of information analysis to understand the history of various countries. dynamic
"Not only that, Qin State has changed too much from before. After Shang Jun's reform, Qin State has brought millions of armor and has become the most powerful and prosperous country in China, but now Qin State is very different. Almost all the wealth in the world flows to Qin State. Qin State is not only rich but also rich. It will also enrich the people," the college student continued.
"The Qin people did not go to the fields to farm and fight on the battlefield like the Qin people did before, but entered the cities and became industrial workers. Their army has shrunk and disarmed on a large scale, and the number of troops has remained at less than 25. This is really unbelievable," the college student said. said
Hearing this, all the college students nodded to express their approval of Qin's every move. In the eyes of Koreans, Qin could have wiped out South Korea in one fell swoop, but Qin did not do so. Historically, South Korea was given to Qin early at this time. Extinct, but the appearance of Shang Wen allowed South Korea to continue to exist. Not only did South Korea not destroy Zhao Guo, which was supposed to be destroyed, but it also did not destroy it, which greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.
The Koreans are wary of this powerful neighbor, but they don’t understand what the Qin people are doing, so they want to hear the answer from the deputy prime minister of South Korea. It was Zhang Liang who appeared and Han Fei just made some written statements in the newspaper
"To be honest, I have also studied these things, but I can't know what Qin State intends to do." Zhang Liang confessed very frankly that he also studied Qin State, but he didn't know much about Qin State's national policy guide, because Shangwen's national policy was not clear.
"Huh la la la!" The college students in the audience whispered to each other. They couldn't believe that such a topic could be the deputy prime minister of South Korea.
"Students, be quiet," Zhang Liang stretched out his hand and said
"Although Qin's national policy is unclear and may not be able to study it thoroughly, I can explain it to you and share it with you." Zhang Liang said humbly in the Warring States period. Everyone had a chance to express their opinions. This tradition of contending among a hundred schools of thought in the Warring States period also has such a tradition in universities in various countries.
"Qin's national policy is to enrich the country and enrich the people," Zhang Liang said forcefully.
"That's right, I also think Qin is doing the same thing now, what the prime minister said makes sense," a college student said in the audience
"That's not right," another college student retorted.
"Qin is already a rich country, why should it be rich? Besides, the people of Qin have accumulated a hundred years of family business, so why do they still say that they are rich?" the college student in the audience said.
"That's right, why does the state of Qin want to enrich the country and the people?" Some people began to agree with this college student's words
"Hahaha" Zhang Liang suddenly smiled when he heard this. He thinks it's right for college students to think like this, and at the same time, he needs to further explain his views.
"The reason why the state of Qin is a rich country and rich people is because of the comparison between what the state of Qin obtained from the reform of the state of Qin and the actions of the state of Qin according to the Shang emperor's book," Zhang Liang said.
"Have everyone read Shang Jun's book?" Zhang Liang asked
"I've seen it," the college student replied
"I have also seen the spirit of the law," said a college student
"I have also read" The Spirit of the Law was originally presented to Han Fei by Shangwen, but after Han Fei returned to China, he quickly printed this book and became a must-learn book for law studies in Korean universities.
At the same time, this book is also very widely spread among Korean folks. On the contrary, this book is not very widespread in Qin.
900 new nobles
Best of luck to all candidates for the exam.
"Since the reform of Qin and Shangjun, Qin has been pursuing the strategy of strengthening the country and poor people." Zhang Liang explained that Shangjun's books have been known to Koreans. Although some of Shangjun's political views are not favored, Korean college students understand Qin's ideas. These policies have indeed put Qin on the road to strength
"Shang Jun's view is that the country and the people are opposites and cannot be united. If the country is strong, the people must be poor and evil. Only when the people are poor and evil can the country become prosperous and strong." Zhang Liang explained.
"And once the people become rich, the country's strength will be weakened. This is the principle that the country is weak when the people are strong, and the people are poor when the country is strong." Zhang Liang said slowly, and the college students below nodded. They still know this truth.
"The strength of the state of Qin depends on the self-sacrifice of the people of the state of Qin in exchange for the people of the state of Qin fighting. Why are the people of the state of Qin fighting so fiercely? As soon as they hear about the war, they will go forward bravely with bare heads and shirtless, without fear, and regardless of life and death." Zhang Liang asked.
"Because the people are poor and the people are poor, the people must strive to be better if they are motivated," Zhang Liang said, and the college students below nodded in approval
