A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 342: Chi Dao travels all over the world
In addition to the lack of copper coins in the hands of the people, another reason why the country collects in-kind taxes is that the country must keep enough materials in its hands.

Once a war breaks out or a natural disaster occurs in various places, food cannot be bought even if you want to, so you must have enough food in storage.

Therefore, even if there is sufficient money in the world in the future and the people have enough copper coins to pay taxes, materials such as grain and cloth will still be collected, but they will be distributed in proportion to the copper coins.

In the fifth year of Daqian God's blessing, the Chidao connecting the world was finally completed.

As a super project built during the Huaiguo period, the construction of the entire Chidao can be said to have lasted 50 years.Especially after the unification of the world, the scale of Chidao's construction expanded rapidly.Until today, all construction has finally been completed.

Through Chidao, Daqian successfully connected all the counties with Luoyang.

[Qianchi Road: The construction of Chidao has made communication in Daqian more convenient and travel more convenient. At the same time, the court's control over all parts of the world has also been improved to a higher level.Civilization +10, Prosperity +10, Stability +10, Marching Speed ​​+10, with the accompanying effect [Unimpeded Travel], it requires a lot of money and materials to be maintained every year. 】

The integrity of Chidao allowed Daqian's army to mobilize quickly.However, although Chidao connected all the counties in the world, it was only initially connected.Take Shu Road, for example. The mountains on Shu Road are steep and the road is difficult to navigate. The Chi Road here is just a slightly wider road.

The vast majority of Chidao move very quickly.

After the completion of Chidao, Wang Ke established the Chidao Department to be responsible for repairing Chidao. At the same time, a large number of post stations were set up on Chidao for people to rest or deliver messages.

It's another year of spring plowing.

Outside Luoyang City, Yishui and Luoshui pass through the Luoyang Basin. There has just been a light rain and the ground is still very wet.

A large number of farmers have started working on the farmland.

Wang Ke felt very comfortable looking at the scene in front of him. The spring breeze blew by and rolled up some of his robes.

Today he was dressed very ordinary, and his clothes were old, but there were no patches on them.This was a piece of clothing he had specially made for him. When he was a prince, he would put it on every time he went on a low-key tour.

Wang Ke advocates frugality, so this piece of clothing was not discarded even though it was very old.

"Cer, do you know what these are?" Wang Ke pointed in front of him and said.

A thick-headed child next to him looked at the direction his father was pointing, and then said: "Farmers and farmland!"

"Yes, farmers and farmland, then do you know what it means to us?"

"I don't know." Wang Ce shook his head in confusion.

"They are the foundation of our Daqian and the foundation of Zhuxia!"

"Are they the foundation of Da Gan?"

"Yes, they are farmers, cultivating the fields and providing taxes to the country. Although the taxes provided by each of them are not much, thousands of farmers add up to provide huge wealth to the country. These are the nobles and nobles. What we can’t provide!” “They are the foundation of this country. Their farmers work hard every day and pay taxes to Dagan. The remaining rations can feed the family. If there is more leftover, they will be taken to the market. Sell ​​some money online and exchange for salt, pots, etc.

His wife will weave mulberry and linen into cloth, part of which will be paid for taxes, and part of which will be made into clothes. It is with these people that you can live in a tall, bright, majestic and luxurious palace, and you can wear silk and satin.

Their sons may do the same, or they may join the army, take up swords to kill the barbarians who dare to invade Daqian, and protect Daqian and Zhuxia.

You can stand high and become the prince precisely because of these people, who support Daqian to become stronger and stronger.And you will still sit in the position of Emperor Daqian in the future. "

"They provide everything we need, but they themselves have a very hard life."

"If the foundation is unstable, no matter how gorgeous and solemn the palace is, it will collapse in an instant. Just like a big tree, if the roots die, the entire tree will die.

Was it because of the nobles and nobles that Da Qian was able to be established?No, it's the tens of millions of people and the soldiers who support you, so you have to understand your position and the groups you must protect. "

"If you don't protect their interests and wantonly exploit these people, making it impossible for these people to survive, then it will be time for Daqian to perish."

"Their requirements are very simple. They have three meals of food and clothing. They have clothes when they are cold. They have medicine to treat them when they are sick. They can feed their wives and children. They have chickens, dolphins, dogs and pigs in good years. They do not starve to death in bad years and they do not want to be killed indiscriminately. This Is the requirement high? In my opinion, it is not high."

"In comparison, what about the demands of emperors, nobles, officials, and powerful people? What they spend on three meals a day may be the monthly wealth of these people.

They want wine, beauty, wealth, power, and they are never satisfied. "

"Emperors, nobles, officials, powerful men, any one of these people can oppress the people and drive them bankrupt, leaving them with nothing."

"As the future emperor, you must understand that your throne will be stable only if the people are stable. If they cannot survive, Daqian will be destroyed! In contrast, although some nobles, officials, and powerful people will also perish. , but there will also be a large number of people who will still pass it on.”

"As the future emperor, you need officials, nobles, and powerful men to assist you and help you control the world, but you must also be wary of them. As long as you are slightly negligent, they will use various methods to exploit the people !”

"In comparison, you have the same interests as the people of the world. Daqian has now implemented the inspection system. You must understand that the inspection system cannot only be implemented among nobles, officials, and powerful men, but also needs to be implemented among the common people. "

"Although the vast majority of the people have limited talents, there will always be some geniuses among the thousands of people. Find these geniuses and grant them official positions. These people will be your control of the court and suppress the nobles, officials, and powerful people. weapon."

Wang Ke has very high requirements for his son. Looking at his confused eyes, Wang Ke smiled slightly and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, just write it down. You will understand when you grow up!"

Fortunately, Wang Ce is very talented. Every once in a while, Wang Ke will take him to teach him personally.

It is hard to imagine that the Chinese built such a large-scale transportation network more than 2000 years ago. It can be said that the straight road is the originator of modern railways.The only thing in history that can compare even slightly with him is the road paved by the Roman Empire.This makes us sigh with emotion at the wisdom and power of the ancients. ——"The Rule of Ancient Empire·Transportation"
