Talking About Military and Political Matters
Because it was related to Great Qin's army's supplies, Great General Wang Jian was the first to answer,""Duke Xiaoyao's army has always had the soldiers prepare their own weapons. Of course, they would buy their own weapons from Great Qin's own shops, and the rest of the supplies would be prepared by the Kingdom. Is there a problem?"
Looking at Great General Wang Jian, Deputy Deputy Xiao Yao did not know what to say. Some soldiers prepared their own weapons; he really did not know how Great Qin had defeated the Six Eastern Kingdoms.
However, Duke Xiaoyao knew that what Great General Wang Jian said was the truth. It was recorded in the bamboo slips of the dark husband that were unearthed in his previous life.
The original text is: Give the black husband money, mother with summer clothes to come. Today's book festival is coming. Mother thinks Anlu silk cloth is cheap and can be made into a skirt and a short coat. Mother must make it and let it come with money. The price of silk and cloth is very high, and the black man thinks he can make silk and cloth in vain.
The translation was,"Give some money to Heifu and ask our mom to make a few summer clothes and send them over." After receiving this letter, he asked his mother to compare the price of Anlu silk cloth. If it was not expensive, he would buy it to make a whole set of summer clothes. You must do it. After you're done, send it along with the money. If the silk cloth is expensive, just send me money. I'll buy the cloth here and make it myself.
From this, one could see that the clothes of Great Qin's soldiers had to be made by their families and sent over. This was because they had enough money, and if they did not have enough, they could just send money over and buy their own clothes.
In his previous life, Deputy Xiao Yao, Ying Liang, could not understand how Great Qin's army could still unify the six countries of Shandong after receiving such terrible treatment.
Now, after hearing General Wang Jian's words, he understood that not only did he have to prepare his own clothes and weapons, but he also had to prepare them himself. Thinking back to his previous life, what wasn't prepared by the country in the army? Not only did the soldiers not have to worry about their own things, they even had a monthly allowance.
Compared to Great Qin's soldiers, Deputy Xiao Yao felt that Great Qin's soldiers were pitiful and respectable.
Even under these conditions, Great Qin still relied on these soldiers to conquer the Six Eastern Kingdoms and unify the world.
Thinking of this, Deputy Xiao Yao asked,""Lord Wang Jian, you just said that Great Qin's soldiers prepared their own weapons. How much are they selling for?”
Great General Wang Jian did not know why Deputy Xiao Yao asked about the price of the soldiers 'weapons, but he still told him the truth,""A Qin sword costs about a thousand and a half taels of Qin, and a piece of Qin armor costs about two thousand and a half taels of Qin.”
"Then how much does Great Qin's commoners earn in a year?”Deputy Xiaoyao Ying Liang continued to ask.
"This…" Great General Wang Jian was in charge of the military. The issue of collecting money from the commoners was a matter of governing the officials. Great General Wang Jian was not clear about it.
"Let Li Si answer this question.”Prime Minister Li Si said," The annual income of a normal family in Great Qin is about 5,000 Qin and a half taels.”
"Is that so? In that case, may I ask, Lord Li Si, how much does Great Qin tax ordinary people?”Deputy Xiao Yao asked.
"Yes, this should be around 4,000 to 4,500 taels.”Prime Minister Li Si said.
This was equivalent to a year of hard work, and in the end, 90% of all the income was taken away by the government. It was no wonder that Great Qin had so many rebel armies. This was not only because of the rebellion of the Six Eastern Kingdoms 'nobles, but also because of Great Qin's strict tax collection.
Great Qin's laws were harsh, and if they could not pay taxes in time, they would be beheaded.
To Great Qin's residents, this was nothing, but to the residents of the six eastern countries, it was a serious matter.
The people of the Six Eastern Kingdoms had already been resentful because of the years of war during the Warring States Period, and now that many of their relatives had died under Great Qin's iron hooves, it would be strange if the people of the Six Eastern Kingdoms did not rebel.
Deputy Xiaoyao Ying Liang sighed and said,"Lord Li Si, I wonder if Great Qin's main source of income is taxes from the commoners?”
"That's right. All of Great Qin's income comes from the taxes of the commoners.”Prime Minister Li Si said.
It seemed like that was the case. He had no choice but to take out this magic treasure.
After Deputy Xiao Yao made his decision, he said,""Your Majesty, please reduce the taxes of Great Qin's citizens so that they can recuperate.”
Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, was very familiar with what they had just discussed, so he did not think that there was anything wrong with it. However, Ying Liang, the Deputy of Xiaoyao, begged for a reduction in taxes for the common people after listening to them, which made Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, very puzzled, so he said,"Tell me, what is the reason?"
At that moment, Zhao Gao, who had been serving by the side, inwardly laughed. He laughed at Deputy Xiaoyao, Ying Liang, for thinking too much and actually daring to set his sights on Great Qin's tax collection.
"Your Majesty, I believe that Your Majesty is aware of the situation that was discussed just now. In that case, how did His Majesty think Great Qin's ordinary people would survive under such a heavy tax rate? We can't survive at all." Deputy Xiaoyao, Ying Liang, looked straight at Qin Shihuang and said.
"In the past, because they had to conquer the six countries in Shandong, Great Qin's people joined the army to kill the enemies and make contributions. They relied on the rewards from the country to survive.”
"Now that the Six Eastern Kingdoms have been unified, there won't be any wars for a short period of time. Great Qin's people no longer have anything to rely on.”
"Why not? Wasn't Duke Xiaoyao the one who offered the 'world' before? Aren't those countries just relying on it?" Great General Wang Jian said.
"Lord Wang Jian, conquering the other countries in the 'world' is not something that can be completed in a day. Right now, we must first have a stable rear before we can gather our strength to carry out the conquest.”Deputy Xiaoyao Ying Liang said.
"Back then, didn't Great Qin conquer the Yi Qu Tribe to the west of Great Qin? Only by winning a stable rear for Great Qin would they be able to gather all of their forces to go east to Hangu Pass and unify the six countries in Shandong.”
This time, Great General Wang Jian did not say anything because Deputy Xiao Yao was speaking the truth. Before conquering the Righteous Canal Tribe, Great Qin had been fighting against the Six Nations to the east of the mountain, and the Righteous Canal Tribe had taken advantage of Great Qin's lack of soldiers to launch a sneak attack on Great Qin, causing Great Qin to lose the war.
Looking at the silent Great General Wang Jian, Deputy Xiao Yao turned his gaze to Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, because only the ruler of the Great Qin Empire, Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, could make the decision.
Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng, noticed that Ying Liang was looking at him, but he did not express his opinion. He just said,""Li Si, how much does Great Qin spend in a year?”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Prime Minister Li Si replied.
Deputy Xiaoyao Ying Liang knew that Prime Minister Li Si was the most difficult to deal with. General Wang Jian was a martial artist, so his thoughts were not that complicated and easy to deal with. However, Prime Minister Li Si was different. He was the representative of Legalism and was not easy to deal with.
He had just checked if the main character had a system.'Most people agreed that they would give the main character a system. But don't worry, the main character would not become invincible because of the system. He would only have the ability to protect himself.
Finally, some of the timeline in the storyline had been changed because of the storyline. After all, in the history of the West, the only person who could compare to Qin Shihuang was Alexander the Great, who was on the Eastern Expedition. The strength of the other empires was based on Baidu's information. Don't the readers feel that if these empires weren't at their peak, how could they compare to Great Qin?
