Daqin: Let you supervise the country, but you rebelled!

Chapter 178
When Ying Yu talked about searching for people's fat and people's anointing, his expression became serious, and he said seriously: "Especially in Chu and Qilu, officials are very rampant when they come to greed and vanity. Water transportation, etc. are all industries that can infiltrate corruption."

"Furthermore, the money from these two industries is faster than the father's imagination, so corruption and explanations are prevalent in these places, and the corruption and degeneration of these officials is beyond your imagination. If father really wants to see it, he can also send Qingshui Some people in Taiwan secretly inquired to verify whether what my son said was true."

"So how do we address this kind of incident happening?"

Ying Zheng asked Ying Yu sincerely like a student.

Speaking of this, Ying Yu's mind suddenly turned, and his eyes moved accordingly. He said casually: "It is to establish an organization, an organization that can monitor everyone's every move."

Although this Jinyiwei has nothing to do with the Qin Dynasty, it really existed in history.

Jinyiwei originated from Zhu Yuanzhang. After Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, Jinyiwei was also established.

Zhu Yuanzhang was born at the bottom, so he hated corruption and bribery extremely. In order to be able to monitor every move of his officials and prevent these moths of Ming Dynasty from exploiting the common people, Zhu Chongba established a spy organization that only belonged to him. The investigation and punishment are true, and the punishment for corrupt officials is extremely cruel and inhumane.

It is said that at that time, Zhu Yuanzhang placed something similar to a scarecrow on the hall of each county magistrate, and the scarecrow was wearing a layer of human skin, and this layer of human skin was left by the previous corrupt officials. .

So Ying Yu thought of Zhu Yuanzhang's trick and said it casually, and then he continued: "This is actually a spy organization, but it is actually a supervisory agency. These supervisory agencies can secretly observe every move of these officials. Once This group of people will be investigated for corruption and bribery.”

At this time, Ying Zheng nodded slightly. He thought to himself that it would not be difficult to establish such a monitoring organization across the country. After all, he had already established a Qingshuitai before. Is it just to set up these secret investigation organizations?
Ying Yu shook his head again and said: "No, no, the establishment of Jinyiwei is a long-term strategy, but the problem in front of us is more serious than this, and the two points I mentioned below are also tightened in our internal supervision. Within the range, it's just..."

When Ying Yu said this, he paused. In fact, what Ying Yu said was not mentioned before.

But almost all the people mentioned before have ended badly. Ying Yu knows what kind of person Ying Zheng is.

He knows that his compound recipe is a person who likes emergencies. Everyone in Daqin knows this well. In the history of China, there are a total of two people who like emergencies. One is Qin Shihuang, and the other is Sui Dynasty. Emperor Yangdi. "

The personalities of the two of them are very similar, both of them have made great achievements in the world, and they both have plans in their hearts.Let’s talk about Yingzheng first. He built the Great Wall in a short period of time after destroying the six countries, and repaired all the official roads of Qin State to the other six countries. He also built his own mausoleum in Lishan, and built a magnificent Even later generations lamented the Efang Palace that was burned by Xiang Yu.

In addition, there were black armored cavalry led by Nanyue and Donghu, who had conquered the south at the beginning of the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, stationed in the north to resist the Huns.

All of the above were done by Qin Shihuang within 10 years. If it was placed in other dynasties, perhaps it would take 30 or even 40 years for other emperors to do things.

However, these things Qin Shihuang did are just the tip of the iceberg, and there are many small things that are not on the table. Of course, wars, large and small, are not included.

In addition, Daqin's annual corvee and military service often reached as many as one million people. Although one million people is not a big number for future generations, but for the Qin Dynasty at that time, one million people was almost equivalent to nearly 20% of the country. s population.

That is to say, one out of every five people in Daqin must perform military service or corvee service.

However, the strange thing is that in the Qin Dynasty, these military service and corvee service did not have any rewards, let alone get paid. All Qin Dynasty could do was take care of these people's food and housing, which could not even solve the problem of clothing.

There is such a story in a history book that records the Qin Dynasty. There is a man from Yunmengze who wants to go to Yunnan to serve in the army. Since he is from the south, he cannot stand the severe cold in the north in winter. The thing was simply eye-popping.

He even wrote a letter to Yunmeng's younger brother asking him to send some cotton padded clothes. It can be seen that the development of the Qin Dynasty was extremely uneven at that time, and it could even be said to be poor. Moreover, the tax of Daqin was also the heaviest empire in all dynasties. one.

It is said that Qin's taxes can account for almost half of its income.Taking rice as an example, if the landlord's family cultivates 10 catties of rice, then 5 catties must be handed over to the government, and this 5 catties is not determined by random harvest, but a fixed value.

It means that no matter what the harvest is this year, you have to pay half of it to the country, even in a year of natural disasters.

This has created a contradiction. In some areas in the north, the production itself is insufficient, and if the government gives 5%, it will still make people unable to live.

Therefore, this method can only be used in areas with high productivity, such as the land of the Central Plains and the land of Yunmeng. Even Qilu, which has a vast geographical area, does not have such output.

This is why it is easy to explain why Qi Tian and others rebelled first, but what Ying Yu said was actually what the previous ministers said.

He just summed it up.

But whenever the ministers proposed again and again, Yingzheng would turn a deaf ear to it and ignore it. Among these people, Qin Shihuang's eldest son Fusu was the one who talked the most.

Where is Fusu now?What was the result?It's not just guarding the border in Yunbei County.

At this time, Qin Shihuang said again: "Yu'er, don't hide it. I said today that we candidly say today that it is entirely about my own family and has nothing to do with state affairs. You just open up and don't hesitate." Father, I will not blame you."

With Ying Zheng's promise, Ying Yu began to make judgments again. He immediately said: "Since the father and emperor have said so, then Yu'er knows everything and can say everything. You know that people outside call us Daqin." It’s not unreasonable to blame the Qin Dynasty, after all, our examination papers and miscellaneous taxes are too heavy, and some officials can’t collect taxes at all, so they can only force the people, so the people who suffer the most are the people.”
