Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 57 The arrogance of the empire! (for collection)

There was dead silence.

Both Fu Su and Hu Hai were shocked.

Ji Heng's statement was too shocking and sensational.

But it doesn't make sense.

Ji Heng ignored the two brothers who were full of disbelief, and ate beef and drank wine peacefully, as if the words just now did not come from his mouth.

a long time.

Only then did Fusu come back to his senses.

Eyes are still full of shock and disbelief.

He thought about it carefully in his mind, and finally found out in horror that no one around him had mentioned Qianshou.

What he hears daily is either trivial affairs in the palace, or the great affairs of the world, or various gossips, but these information are rarely related to the head of Guizhou.

Fusu's body trembled, and his lips trembled slightly.

He has realized.

What Ji Heng said may be true.

Because Daqin did use the people too much, he even wrote a letter about it.

The reason why he wrote the letter at the beginning was because people around him kept complaining, thinking that the imperial court expropriated the people and added too many tributes. He believed it deeply at the time, but was later refuted by the first emperor. Also gave up.

Now that I think about it carefully, I realize something is wrong.

At that time, it was the dignitaries in the city who advised me the most fiercely, but after knowing that I had hit a wall, these people never mentioned it again.

But aren't these people the property owners that Ji Heng talked about?

The reason why they didn't mention it again was probably because they were worried that talking too much would cause their own dissatisfaction, but even they felt that the use of the people was too much, and the bottom line would be even more miserable.

Fusu's face turned pale.

the other side.

After sorting it out for a while, Hu Hai still couldn't figure it out, and asked in confusion, "Is it really so hard for the people at the bottom of Guizhou? Can't they survive?"

"Is that impossible?"

Fusu looked at Hu Hai with a complicated expression, and sighed in his heart. Hu Hai lived in the deep palace for a long time, had no contact with political affairs, knew little about the affairs of the world, and did not know the situation of the world at all.

He said, "Mr. Ji mentioned it before."

"Daqin has been doing a lot of construction in recent years. It has not only built palaces in various places, but also built various official roads across the country. There are more than 390 at the county and county levels. This does not include the twelve official roads leading to the inner history county, and The Chidao, Zhidao, and the Great Wall in the north are being built."

"Besides, there are cutting mountains and valleys, breaking through the river defenses, dredging the Cao Canal and so on."

"Such a wide variety of projects that consume a lot of people have been implemented in the past few years. How can the people at the bottom afford it?"

"It doesn't include the relocation of 50 people to the South China Sea, and the relocation of 10 people to fill the border. If the soldiers stationed in the South China Sea and the northern borders are added, the number will only be even greater. If it is true that according to the law, one person per household will be counted. I'm afraid that every family in Daqin will not be able to fill in the service, but now these projects are still being implemented, and it must be imposed on Qianshou."

"Great Qin consumes so much people's power, how can the world not complain?"

Ji Heng glanced at Bo Qin indifferently, and said slowly: "You can see that these are not bad."

"But not enough."

"The reason why Daqin will be resented by the people."

"Actually, there is only one reason."

"arrogant!"

"The arrogance of empire."

"This kind of arrogance does not come from one person, but from the entire monarch and ministers of Daqin."

"Even the whole system!"

"At the beginning of the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty, it was vowed to tell the world that in the future, Chinese civilization will be reorganized, China's mountains and rivers will be rectified, China's long-standing evils will be swept away, and Chinese civilization will be rebuilt, the rivers and mountains will be reorganized, and the world will be permanently peaceful."

"This bold statement that surpasses the past and the present is indeed inspiring."

"It also attracted the attention of the world."

"At the beginning of the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty, it did start to rule by thunder and lightning, and drastically rectified the evils of the world."

"Renew the official system and centralize power for governance."

"Taking the governance of counties and counties as the foundation, aiming to govern the world as the purpose, focusing on the administration of politics and the people, and centering on the centralization of governance power."

"Supplemented by the county system to achieve effective top-down governance."

"Things are in the four directions, but in the center."

"We even created a system of township officials, that is, three-level people's governance at the grassroots level."

"Xiang, Ting, Li."

"However, in the final analysis, these are actually upper-middle-class buildings."

"But what about the lower floors?"

"What about the bottommost beings?"

"Da Qin Chaotang has never considered it."

"Because everyone in the court hopes that the bottom layer will never change. Only in this way, the bottom layer will always be a cow, a mermaid, and a slaughter, without the slightest resistance."

"So after the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty, the old household registration system was strictly enforced."

"A person's future destiny has been determined from the moment of birth."

"The people are obedient."

"Make the rooster guard the night, let the raccoon hold the mouse, use their abilities, and nothing will happen to them."

"Great Qin's strict household registration system, to ordinary people, is a mountain, a thunder pool, and a natural moat."

"And the imperial court hoped that the lower-level people could farm and serve as soldiers one generation after another, following the rules set by Shang Yang."

"The reason why Shang Yang did this was to enrich the country and strengthen the army, but with the unification of the world, the military merit system is almost abolished, and there is no way for the bottom to rise. Does the court officials really not know about this situation?"

"know."

"But everyone will pretend not to know."

"Because no one cares about the bottom layer, and no one cares about whether the bottom layer has emotions. This is also the result that the court wants."

"Let the lower class be content with the destiny forever, keep their own place, and continue to be dominated by others willingly. The court thinks arrogantly that the lower class dare not have emotions, let alone have any dissatisfaction."

"Only this time, Da Qin was wrong."

"After hundreds of years of gradually developing people's wisdom, more and more people will no longer choose to die in silence, but will gradually choose to explode in silence."

"It's just that the critical point has not yet been reached."

"But soon!"

"Daqin's top-down management system ignores the underlying foundation from the beginning to the end, but without a solid underlying foundation, no matter how perfect the upper-level design is, it is just an empty shell with a strong outside and a dry inside. gone."

"In the past, what Daqin did was not a problem."

"However, the times are different."

"Under the centralized system, the people have gradually transitioned from 'proprietors' to the bottom."

"But Daqin has always ignored a fatal point."

"Relationship between the government and the people!"

"If Daqin continues to be so domineering, continues to be so superior, and continues to treat the people like grass, one day, these grasses will become the last straw that crushes Daqin."

"It won't be too long."

Ji Heng shook his head.

He continued to eat his own meal.

The lower building determines the upper building, in the words of the Qin Dynasty.

That's what Guan Zhong said.

Those who have enough food and clothing know the honor and disgrace, and those who are obedient and obedient know the six relatives.

Da Qin's arrogance towards the bottom from top to bottom will eventually bury this huge, arrogant and invincible empire.

　Thanks to Duckweed and Cangsheng for their 500 starting point coins.

　　thank.
