Daijuncheng!
After three days of settlement, the entire State of Zhao has now been completely incorporated into the territory of Qin.

The black dragon flag was planted on the top of countless city walls.

And Yingjun also completely understood Zhao Guo in these three days, and also discovered many problems.

These problems not only exist in Zhao State, but also in the current Qin State.

The most serious one is the land enfeoffment system adopted by various countries now.

This system completely divided all the land within the territory to those officials, and the people who wanted to cultivate the land had to become slaves of these officials. Only in this way could they have a way to survive in this troubled world.

Moreover, all the grain harvested by the common people from cultivating the land must be handed over to the officials every year. These officials will also distribute only enough rations for one year according to the grain output turned in by the people and the number of laborers.

It is precisely because of this system that even if there is no war, many people still cannot have enough to eat; once there is a war, the lives of these people will become more difficult, and no less than a few people will starve to death every day, so this This also resulted in many children being sent away by their families or voluntarily joining the army as soon as they reached the draft age.

It’s not for anything else, just for the children to have enough to eat. If they can kill enemies and make meritorious deeds on the battlefield, the family will also benefit from it, and at least they will receive a fixed salary every year.

However, the hidden dangers of the feudal system did not stop there. After those high-ranking ministers or nobles obtained these lands and people, they were equivalent to establishing a small country.

Once you are dissatisfied with the imperial court, you can leave the country and become your own king!

This is also the reason why many kings from various countries favor those high-ranking ministers and nobles!
Now that the Zhao Kingdom has been destroyed, if we want to completely change this situation, we can only imitate the county system implemented by Ying Zheng after he unified the six countries.

Only by implementing the county system can the people completely get rid of slavery.

It will also concentrate the power scattered in the hands of powerful people everywhere into the hands of the king.

Implementing this system is equivalent to completely rectifying the entire court from the inside out. Just like the legal system implemented by Shang Yang back then, it will inevitably offend many powerful people.

But only in this way can the centuries-old foundation of the Qin State become more stable, the lives of the people can be improved, and the king will be more loved by the people.

Zhao State was destroyed, and now Qin State has undoubtedly become the focus of everyone's attention.

If the system of prefectures and counties is rashly implemented in the Qin State, chaos will inevitably occur in the country, which will allow other countries to take advantage of it.

Although the Qin State is now stronger than the other five countries, the successive wars have also consumed a huge amount of materials. In addition, there are so many more Zhao people who need to be resettled. In a short time, they want to implement the prefecture and county system in the Qin State. , it’s simply impossible!
But the Zhao State, which had just been destroyed at this moment, was the best experimental field!
Stand behind!

Thinking of this, Yingjun raised the corners of his mouth slightly and looked out the door expectantly.

If the now-extinct Zhao State can be rebuilt into a new Great Qin, then when other countries are conquered in the future, this place can be used as a template for other countries to follow.

After thinking about this, Yingjun immediately picked up the pen and ink and started writing on the bamboo slips.

at the same time.

drive!
Rumble!
The iron hoofs roared like thunder. In the open wilderness, a mighty Qin cavalry and more than a dozen carriages were fully armed. Under the leadership of Gai Nie, they quickly marched towards Daijun. Bring officials to help control Zhao's territory.

Everywhere he passed, the black black dragon flags were planted on every city wall, and corpses of Zhao people could be seen everywhere. Even in the wilderness, a few bodies would appear from time to time.

One can imagine how great the hatred between Qin and Zhao was.

I don't know how long they walked, but when Genie passed by a village, a skinny commoner in ragged clothes sat on the ground with dull eyes, and beside them, there were countless corpses lying.

These corpses range from big to small, and they are everywhere as far as the eye can see.

"What's going on?" Gai Nie looked at everything in front of him with doubts in his eyes, and his hands couldn't help but clenched. These were definitely not made by Qin soldiers.

Although they saw many corpses of Zhao people along the way, most of them were the corpses of Zhao soldiers. Even though there were some corpses of common people inside, they were far from the staggering number like here!

And when Gai Nie led many officials and Qin army soldiers into the village, the scene in front of him completely shocked him.

"Jun...jun ye, alright...ok alright, give it to the one who stutters!"

"I'm starving. Food, I want something to eat."

"Hungry...so hungry, so uncomfortable!!!"

"Mother... mother... wake up quickly, wake up quickly, mother!"

In the village where corpses were strewn all over, there were only a few people left on the rural roads that used to be crowded with people. They seemed to be lifeless, with dull eyes and dejected crawling on the ground.

And not far in front, a skinny little girl with a bloodless face kept shaking the woman in front of her with her hands, crying hoarsely, even unable to shed tears.

When she saw Gai Nie, who was walking towards her quickly not far away, and the Qin soldiers behind her, the little girl's eyes suddenly became frightened, as if she had seen something terrible, and she cried and flinched. He kept shaking his little hands to keep them away.

However, the next second, Gai Nie immediately picked up the long bow placed on the war horse, set the arrow on it, and stared at the little girl closely.

call out!
Along with a whistling sound, the arrow shot out instantly and flew straight towards the little girl.

Seeing this scene, the little girl immediately closed her eyes as if she already knew the outcome, and the shouting stopped instantly.

hum!
The arrow passed by the little girl's ear and shot directly at the unconscious people behind her.

Pfft!

A stream of blood gushed out, and the arrow penetrated directly through the chest of the common man, who fell heavily to the ground.

Listening to the noise behind her, the little girl opened her eyes again and turned to look.

I saw that the commoner who fell on the ground was holding a short blade in his hand, and I could vaguely hear the voice coming from his mouth: "Meat... I want meat... I want to eat meat..."

Gradually, the unconscious people completely lost their breath.

"He has completely lost his consciousness. He just wanted to kill your mother for her flesh, but now she is dead!"

Gai Nie stepped forward, looked at the corpse behind her, and said with an extremely heavy face, full of doubts in her heart.

What exactly is going on?

Why did this village become like this?

Even the counties and towns he passed through before did not experience such a situation. It is not an exaggeration to describe this village as a hell on earth!

Although we obviously live on the same land, why are there such huge differences?

(Readers, you can guess who this little girl is! She is from the Kingdom of Zhao!)
