Daqin: More sons and more blessings, building a long-lived family

Ye Xuan told them one by one.

Immigration.

immigration.

Simple and easy to understand, it is to relocate the mainland population to the border areas.

Introduce policies to encourage immigration.

Border residents in the border defense area may be exempted from other taxes and duties other than military service.

There is no need to undertake national defense roads and build the Great Wall.

As for the laborers from the mainland, if they live outside the border castle facilities, they can be exempted from some taxes, such as renting grain and grass for half of the land, etc.

Garrisoning the fields and guarding the borders is also known as "garrisoning the fields and guarding the borders".

The border areas along the Great Wall formed and deployed frontier troops and established a border defense zone system.

Under the protection of armed forces, the people on the border can be cultivated and cultivated to provide military rations.

At the same time, the armed garrison can also defend the border and prevent the Hu people from raiding the people on the border.

In addition, every family must have weapons such as crossbows and armor.

Turn the people into the army.

It can also play a certain role in guarding the border and preventing barbarians from raiding.

livestock.

Let the border people raise horses.

Promote policies, reward people's fields, houses, land, etc.

The people raise horses and provide horses for soldiers to fight.

...

Ye Xuan told Meng Tian everything he knew.

Meng Tian was shocked at first.

He was slowly thinking about a series of things Ye Xuan said...

"Immigration is real."

"The policies implemented will probably attract a large number of mainlanders."

Meng Tian said to himself.

The Qin Dynasty had heavy taxes and corvees.

How heavy is it?

It was so heavy that the people complained endlessly, and almost the people were in dire straits.

Like corvee.

The Qin Dynasty overhauled various projects, such as the Afang Palace, the Great Wall, the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, and so on.

These all require a lot of manpower.

But where does so much manpower, that is, corvee, come from?

That's from the commoners.

Commoners would want to be corvée?

Naturally impossible.

What is corvee?

Corvettes are workers who work without pay!

These include miscellaneous service, military service, and forced service.

According to statistics, the labor labor in Qin Dynasty was 35 times that of Shangzhou!

These huge projects have increased corvees, forced a large number of ordinary people to participate in unpaid labor, and aggravated the hardships of the people!

The taxation system of the Qin Dynasty was also very heavy.

Qin Shihuang built so many projects, where did the money come from?

It's from collecting taxes!

There were many types of taxes in the Qin Dynasty.

Taxes on mountains, seas, ponds, customs and cities, oral tax, commodity tax, household tax, land rent, etc.

Some taxes are understandable.

Some taxes are downright ridiculous!

It's a money grab.

And it's an aboveboard money grab!

Like the tax of mountains, seas, ponds, etc., you need to pay taxes to the imperial court when you go to the sea to catch fish and shrimps!

In addition, you need to pay taxes to log in the deep mountains.

Birds caught in deep mountains also need to pay taxes.

Raising pigs, animal husbandry, etc., mining salt and iron and other minerals also need to pay taxes.

1.2

So many taxes in the Qin Dynasty are basically killing the common people, so if a large amount of taxes can be exempted, I am afraid that many inland people will immigrate to the border even if the border is in danger of being raided by Hu people!

Come back to your senses.

Meng Tian was extremely surprised.

"Good strategy!"

"Sure enough, it's a good strategy!"

"If these things are carried out, it will definitely be able to resist the northern barbarians!"

"Why didn't we think of it before?"

"Sir, you really have the talent of a famous general!"

"Meng is convinced!"

"With Mr.'s strategy, the people on the border may no longer have to worry about it. At least they will have the power to protect themselves. Meng Tian is here to express his gratitude to the countless people on the border who have been plundered by the barbarians and are frightened!"

Meng Tian bowed deeply to Ye Xuan.

Full of admiration and sincerity.

Ye Xuan in front of him really gave him too many surprises.

.................................

Chapter 71 Ye Xuan's plan to retreat the barbarians, the Great Wall collapsed!

Daqin border.

Meng Tian led the Meng family army and the border guards to fight against the Hu people.

The Meng family army is neatly dressed in black armor, holding a long sword, a bow, or riding a horse, or walking.

The border guards held strong crossbows and shot from a distance.

The Hu people rode on horses, dressed in foreign costumes, and held curved bows and scimitars.

Both sides fight.

The blood stained the reddish-brown ground, and the sound of bows and crossbows firing, screams, swords entering the flesh, the sound of weapons being handed over, the sound of horseshoes stamping on the ground, and shouts could be heard endlessly.

"Shoot! Swoosh! Shoo!!"

Under the cover of the Mengjia army, the border guards organized another wave of crossbow arrows torrential rain.

"what!!"

"what!!!"

The barbarians who were hit by crossbow arrows fell off their horses one after another, screaming one after another.

The Hu people are at a passive disadvantage.

Meng Tian raised his long sword and roared loudly.

"Meng Jiajun, listen to the order!"

"Destroy this group of barbarians!!"

"Yes!!!"

The Meng family army responded in unison.

Shouting loudly.

"Quickly withdraw!!"

"Quick retreat!!!"

The Hu people were attacked by the Mengjia army and the border guards, causing countless casualties.

Seeing that the situation was not good, they hurriedly rode their horses and fled.

"Shoot! Swoosh! Shoo!!"

The rain of bows and arrows chased them.

There are also countless Hu people who fell from the horse with 15 arrows.

"Okay! Don't chase the poor!!"

Meng Tian tightened the reins of the galloping horse, raised the horse's front hoofs high, and leaned back. Meng Tian clamped the horse's back tightly, stabilized the horse's back, and then ordered.
