Back to Daqin to be Emperor

Chapter 527 Ten Empty Cities
Looking at the government affairs piled up like a mountain in front of him, Xiao He couldn't help sighing.

Fusu has been making unannounced visits for more than two months, and Xiao He is not sure about Fusu's specific whereabouts in these two months.

Only when Fusu conveyed his experiences and feelings back, did Xiao He know where Fusu had been.

And those experiences and feelings also include many suggestions.

Let Xiao He carry out the camera, and some of the more important points were marked by Fu Su, so there is not much room for negotiation.

The emperor said a word, and the pawn ran and broke his leg.

Although Xiao He is not a pawn now, but a powerful figure in Daqin, it is precisely because of this that he needs to do his duty even more.

The affairs arising from the revision of various laws and regulations are extremely complicated, and each item must be handled properly.

Of course, these are relatively urgent or immediate decrees.

As for those laws that are slow to take effect and are not too urgent, we can only rely on them!

But at this time, another major event was pressing on Xiao He's head.

In order to save Meng Yi that day, Qin Guo and Zhao Guoxu ceded ten cities to Zhao Guo with Wei Snake, and Fu Su had no intention of going back on this matter.

However, if it was given to Zhao Guo in this way, Fusu would inevitably feel a little unhappy and reluctant.

Therefore, Fusu moved most of the people in these ten cities to Guanzhong, leaving almost ten empty cities in Zhao State.

Naturally, the means used by Fusu cannot be forced. After all, even if people are tied to Guanzhong, these people will flee back one day sooner or later.

If this is the case, Fusu will not be able to lose money by stealing chickens, and it will have a great impact on both Qin and Fusu's reputation.

And the means used by Fusu are also very simple, to lure him with profit.

For most people, this trick is of course no disadvantage.

And can the land in Guanzhong carry so many people?The answer is of course yes. Back then, Fusu wiped out all the old nobles headed by the Feng family, and now all that remains are small fish and shrimp, which can't make a big difference.

It was that time that most of the land in Guanzhong was nationalized, as well as houses, gold and silver treasures, etc. It can be said that it greatly enriched the treasury.

Even when Fusu fought against other countries in Shandong several times, these confiscated Zi property also gave Fusu great help, not only providing military expenses, but even post-war rewards, part of which was allocated from it.

After several battles, the loss of property in the treasury of Qin State was very small.

But now, those people in the city were relocated to Guanzhong, and Fusu brandished a big stick of money to smash these people into a daze.

As soon as they heard that the land tax would be exempted for the first five years of farming in Guanzhong, and there would be subsidies for grain seeds, farm tools, etc., the people who went to Guanzhong became enthusiastic.

More importantly, Fusu also sacrificed the calendar.

This calendar is different from the previous ones, it was written and completed by Sima Jizhu, a great master of the present age. After Fusu accepted this capable man that day, under Fusu's advice, Sima Jizhu served as the Taishi Ling of Daqin.

After Fusu succeeded to the throne, Fusu mobilized manpower several times and allocated funds for Sima Jizhu to preside over the compilation of the calendar wholeheartedly.

After several years of brewing, this calendar is finally fresh out of the oven!
The calendar, whether it is for the emperor or the common people, is an extremely important matter.

The people need to sow grain according to the four seasons, and then harvest. Among them, one of the seasons cannot be wrong. If it is wrong, in the end, most of the grain production will be reduced throughout the year.

Therefore, the importance of the calendar is self-evident.

Thanks to the combination of white paper and printing, tens of thousands of calendar books have been created.

As long as you settle in Guanzhong, Fusu will give it to you for free.In addition, there are officials to guide the daily agricultural production, and everything has rules to follow.

And this calendar plays a role not only in that, but also as a textbook for ordinary people to read and read.

Fusu was rather thankful that he was born in this era, not in those dynasties of later generations.

At least, Qin's ability to control and mobilize the grassroots, in history, no dynasty can do better than Qin.

In later generations, it is normal for imperial power not to go to the countryside.

However, in this era, Qin Ting can easily extend its tentacles to every household for effective jurisdiction.

Fu Su thought deeply, in history, after Shang Yang's reform, the continuous emergence of Ming Jun and Qiang Jun in Qin State is probably not an accidental phenomenon.

In the six kingdoms of Shandong, there have indeed been many heroic and heroic lords, but after a generation, they often return to their original forms.

But the state of Qin is different. Fusu guessed that this may be the reason for the system of the state of Qin. A petty official who is absolutely rooted at the bottom.

This means that even a king of Qin who is not very qualified can still make some achievements by relying on such a system.

Fusu couldn't help but think of the Qin bamboo slips unearthed in later generations, among which the sleeping tiger bamboo slips were the funeral objects of a small official named Xi.

May I ask, in the land of Guanzhong, how many small officials like Xi did Qin have?

I'm afraid I can't even count them!
However, in this way, Xiao He suffered a lot. 10,000+ people migrated to Guanzhong. For Xiao He, this test was extraordinary.

Of course Xiao He knows that these people are a burden to Qin Ting at the moment, but it only takes two or three years, no, it only takes one year. These people are not only not a burden, but a great help to Qin State.

In the government's recorded data, the population has always been the assessment standard, why?

Because people are fundamental, only a sufficient population can afford more taxes. You must know that the tax collection policy at this time includes poll tax.

This means that the larger the population, the more taxes can be collected, and the strong men can also join the army to fight, which is another great benefit for the court.

The selection of soldiers in the army can be selected preferentially. In this way, the combat power of this army will naturally be stronger.

Of course, looking at the ten cities that were almost empty in front of them, the monarchs and ministers of Zhao State couldn't help but want to scold their mothers.

Immediately, an envoy was sent to negotiate with Qin State, but Qin State's response was also quite cunning. In a word, it was none of my business.

Whether the people live in their original place or migrate to Guanzhong is up to the people themselves.

Qin State has never persecuted any of them, and Qin Ting even said that if Zhao State can do it, it can bestow favor on the people and make them return to their hometowns.

After Zhao Guo knew about it, he had no choice but to scold Qin Guo for being cunning.
