Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 397: The Real Situation of the Six Kingdoms, Business Collapse (please give me a monthly recommendation ticket!)
"Taxation is divided into three classes, the craftsmen are the first class, the farmers are the second class, and the merchants are the third class."

"However, it is said that it is the third class, but it is actually the fourth class. Scholars have the highest status. Businessmen are the last. We only occupy the middle."

The Lu family was originally a businessman, so Lu Pheasant was naturally unhappy when he heard that his family occupied the last place among the four equal parts.

As early as the beginning, the Lu family fled to Surabaya County to avoid trouble. When they first arrived, they made friends with the local landlords through marriage.

The second thing Lu Gong did was to buy land and settle down.The family had abundant resources, so they were able to purchase several acres of land.

But Lu Gong continued to run business as before.

The Lu family can no longer afford to be big merchants, but being a small stall hawker is really an insult to their ancestors.So the Lu family opened a grain store locally.

A merchant who buys rice.

The Lu family all feared and hated the people of Qin, especially the Emperor of Qin.

When the Qin State unified the world and promoted currency throughout the world, this business problem was even more serious.

Counterfeit currency is rampant in the world, and the old currency cannot be replaced, which causes the Lu family to suffer a second blow.

The Lu family declined again and again, which caused Lu Zhi's status in the Liu family to fall again and again.Lu Pheasant was gradually marginalized by his brother and sister-in-law.

Fortunately, Lu Pheasant still has an elder brother who works in Pei County. Lu Pheasant has his brother to take care of him here, so his life is a little more comfortable.

However, Emperor Qin's policy, implemented repeatedly, actually messed up the lives of the people of the six countries.

Of course, some people take advantage of this opportunity to gain profits.

The order to recruit workers also divided the industry into four levels, which led to the status of scholars and craftsmen rising repeatedly.

But at the same time, among the six countries, it was difficult for merchants to do business, and many of them went bankrupt due to the introduction of the new currency.

This forced more people to work in the fields.

The Lu family was very upset about this.

Lu Pheasant wrapped himself in clothes and went underground to get himself a bowl of water.

Li Shiqi's eyes never left Lu Pheasant.

The Lu family's attitude towards Qin was now written on Lu Pheasant's face.

Disdain, disgust.

Lu Pheasant walked to the water tank, looked in the mirror slightly, and after a while, she got up.

When Li Shiqi saw this, he knew that she was angry, so he quickly came over barefoot to comfort Lu Pheasant.

"It's all because I said nothing, so don't be angry."

When Lu Zhi heard this, he was naturally even angrier.

"The reason why I, Lu Pheasant, have fallen so far is all because of Emperor Qin. Emperor Qin conquered the world, but in the end, he still distinguished us from the people of Qin, which is okay. Originally, the people of our six kingdoms had a hatred for the destruction of the country with the people of Qin. "

Lu Pheasant finally spoke.

This opening hit the nail on the head.

"The people of Qin are vicious and cruel, and have a notorious reputation. Although Liu Ji is a rogue, some of his words are correct. The people of the six countries are just convinced but not convinced. However, in the land of Qilu and Wu and Yue, there has always been a practice of doing business. Now outside the customs Suppressing merchants, counterfeit and bad coins are rampant, old coins are difficult to enter the market, and they cannot be used in one county."

"The generals of the Qin State's border guards colluded with the local powerful, formed cliques, and occupied the land. Therefore, although we have the policy of pioneering, it is difficult for us to enjoy such benefits. However, it is those powerful landowners and the Qin State's border guards. The soldiers will take advantage of it.”

"I've been complaining about Qin for a long time. But I hear your tone, but you are praising Emperor Qin."

Li Shiqi naturally smiled after hearing this.

Li Shiqi was silent for a long time.

He was a scholar and took advantage of Qin's policies.

The Lu family is a businessman. Originally, the Lu family had a feud with the Emperor of Qin to destroy the family. In addition, the Lu family's business was once again hit, which made the Lu family even less favorable to the Emperor of Qin.

Li Shiqi's face darkened.

In fact, Li Shiqi was thinking that the Qin State had lost so much strength, revolutionized Qin twice in succession, and even abolished the military merit system.

Li Shiqi is a smart man, he can see that Qin's strength will last a long time.

Legalism emphasizes changes with time, which is indeed good.

Li Shiqi and several scholars also began to pay attention to Legalism.

The empire's attitude towards the people of the world is already obvious.

"This time, that time. Although we can't do business, farming is a good thing. If everyone goes into business and makes profits from business, who will farm the land at that time. The strategy of focusing on agriculture and suppressing business has been around since ancient times. Why should we attribute it to Emperor Qin?"

After hearing this, Lu Pheasant immediately changed his face.

"what do you mean?"

"I won't hide it from you. I have already obtained the qualification to be recommended as an official, and I no longer need to be a teacher in the future."

Lu Zhi was naturally furious after hearing this.

"In Peixian County, no matter whether they are from Wei or Chu, all scholars are ashamed to serve as officials of Qin, but you want to do the opposite. Aren't you afraid that the people in the village will dislike you?"

Li Shiqi grabbed Lu Pheasant's wrist.

"It doesn't matter to me if others dislike me, but it would only upset me if you also disliked me."

When Lu Zhi heard this, he was naturally moved.

Lu Pheasant turned his back to Li Shiqi.

"Are you sure you want to do this? In the future, if you take Qin's salary, how can you still consider yourself a Wei person?"

Li Shiqi said:
"I heard that there was a prince named Fusu in the Qin Dynasty. He advocated reforms in the Qin Dynasty many times. Although he was opposed by the ministers in the court, he was quite prestigious in the Qin Dynasty. This man's political views were very practical and benefited the people of the world. I want to go there Be loyal to him."

Lu Pheasant didn't say anything after hearing this.

Fusu's name is very famous in Chu land.

At the beginning, he was only in Chu State for one year, but the things he did were praised by Chu people.

"Emperor Qin is still alive. If you join the prince's family, isn't it obvious that instead of helping the prince of Qin, you are harming him?"

After hearing this, Li Shiqi naturally admired the woman in front of him a little more.

Lu Pheasant has never been an ordinary woman.She has read books, knows how to be patient and reasonable, and she is not ambiguous on some important matters.

Li Shiqi praised:
"What you said does make sense."

There are already many people like Li Shiqi in the world.

This is the impact of the two reforms on the scholars of the world.

"I heard that in the current Qin Dynasty, most of them are veterans and ministers who are dying and can't do anything. I think I, Li Shiqi, read the books of political strategists before, and want to show off my ambitions. Now that the troubled times have stopped, it's better to serve the new dynasty."

After hearing this, Lu Zhi took back the words that came to his lips.

The Lu family was the target of Qin's attack.

"You will prosper in the future, I just hope you don't remember me, Mrs. Lu."

After saying this, Lu Pheasant began to pick up Li Shiqi's clothes and threw them to him.

Li Shiqi was naturally surprised.

"Why did you suddenly issue this eviction order to me?"

Lu Pheasant only said:

"Who gave me the last name Lu?"

"The Lu Buwei case is just a matter of the past, no one has missed you for a long time."

Lu Zhi still didn't like the man in front of him.

"I, Lu Pheasant, have met many scholars, but I have never seen anyone who is a descendant of the Six Kingdoms serve Qin and be treated seriously by the people in the countryside."

　In fact, this household registration classification has no intention of dividing the people of the world.It's Xu Huang.

　　The system was designed to replace the military-industrial system from the beginning.

　　I still don’t understand why so many people opposed this system when it came out.

　　Nowadays, different regions in China also have different household registration policies and benefits.
