Liu Tan was actually a little jealous when his two younger brothers were granted the title of king before. He was the eldest son of the emperor and had made great achievements, but his father did not grant him a title.
After a lapse of several years.
He also became the king of a kingdom.
This was not a long red carpet, but it was very difficult for him to walk.
Because at this time, he inexplicably felt that the burden on his shoulders was even heavier.
My father has laid down the country for me, and now I have to manage this country. Whether I can manage the Qin Kingdom well, and whether I can live up to my father's trust.
Liu Tan walked forward slowly, thinking constantly in his mind.
It wasn't until he climbed up to the high platform and came to his father Liu Chan that he put away his thoughts and respectfully paid homage to Liu Chan:
"My son, I pay homage to my father. Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
"Pingsheng!" Liu Chan waved his hand, then stood up from the dragon chair, walked to Liu Tan, then took a golden crown from the hands of the ceremony officer next to him, and gently put it on his son's head, satisfied.
He said: "Today I make you the king of Da Qin. From now on, you must work diligently and love the people, govern Da Qin well, and let the people of Da Qin live a prosperous and stable life from now on!"
As soon as Liu Chan finished speaking, Liu Tan paid homage once again and said loudly: "My son, I will obey my father's will and be diligent in government and love the people, so that the people of Qin can live a stable and prosperous life from now on."
After the worship ceremony was over, Liu Tan walked slowly to the stage and looked at the soldiers and civilians in the square. The people and troops below were his subjects from now on.
Winter, winter, winter.
Woo, woo, woo.
There were three more drums and trumpets, and then Liu Tan officially faced the subjects of the Kingdom of Qin as the King of Qin. Just as he walked to the stage, a guard of honor had been prepared for a long time, holding a black and white banner.
Dragon Flag,
The flag is inlaid with five golden dragons, and in the middle, a big character - Qin.
From this moment on, the Great Qin Kingdom officially stood on this land.
Of course, with the establishment of the Qin Kingdom, the Roman Empire, which had lasted for hundreds of years, was officially declared destroyed, and this land will also enter a new era.
Just as Liu Tan stood in front of the stage, the nearly 10,000 Imperial Guards in the square immediately shouted in unison:
"Long live His Majesty the King of Da Qin!"
"Long live His Majesty the King of Da Qin!"
The guards had just started shouting, and the people in the square followed suit and shouted:
"Long live His Majesty the King of Da Qin!"
"Long live His Majesty the King of Da Qin!"
After waiting for the army and the people to shout long live, Liu Tan raised his hand to stop the shouting, and then announced several decrees of the Qin Kingdom in public.
The first of these is the official abolition of slavery in the Qin Kingdom.
The second article is that all the land in Da Qin will be nationalized and then uniformly distributed by the state to the people of Da Qin.
At the same time, he also emphasized that all land in Da Qin is state-owned. Even if it is distributed to the people, the people only have the right to use it and have no right to buy or sell it.
After hearing this policy, the people in the square did not understand it at first. They thought that the land belongs to the country, so what do we have?
However, Liu Tan then gave an explanation.
When land ownership belongs to the state, people no longer have to worry about the land being annexed by others in the future, because people have no right to buy and sell. All people can just grow crops with peace of mind, and no one can take away their land.
As long as the people own land, they will never go hungry again.
Although it is still unacceptable, it seems to be about the same compared to the Roman Empire, because when the Roman Empire ruled, the land belonged to the nobles and did not belong to the common people. The common people planted crops and after harvesting, they needed to pay the nobles
Taxation.
Now the Qin Dynasty rules this land, and the land belongs to the Qin Dynasty. The people plant crops and pay certain taxes to the country after harvesting.
Change the soup but not the dressing.
Just when the people thought so, Liu Tan immediately announced that the grain taxes of the people of Qin were based on the 37-7 policy, that is, 30% went to the state and 70% went to the people themselves.
Upon hearing this policy, the people in the square were all overjoyed. This time they shouted from the bottom of their hearts:
"Long live His Majesty the King of Da Qin!"
"Long live His Majesty the King of Da Qin!"
They have no reason to be unhappy, because during the Roman Empire, when they planted crops, they needed to hand over the proportion to the nobles. That was based on the ratio of 64, 60% was handed over to the nobles, and they could only get the remaining 40%.
.
Nowadays, the ratio set by the Qin Dynasty is 37%, and only 30% is handed over, while the people keep 70%, which is nearly twice as much as during the Roman Empire.
Then, Liu Tan also announced several decrees.
The Great Qin Empire officially promoted the Chinese language. Within half a year, the Great Qin court would open Chinese academies across the country. Within three years, people could study Chinese nearby for free.
Three years later, people across the country will be able to take part in the imperial examinations promoted by the imperial court. Those who pass the examination will be appointed or removed from official positions by the imperial court based on their results.
This article is very important. There are no restrictions for all people in the country. Everyone can participate. As long as you are talented and knowledgeable, you can become an official in the court.
This decree is also the most exciting one for the people, because there is no level restriction and everyone can refer to it. This was something that the Roman Empire would never dare to think about.
With this policy, even if they were slaves before, as long as they study hard in the past three years and pass the assessment after three years, they can become officials and change their destiny.
Long live Great Qin!
Long live Great Qin!
Great Qin truly made everyone equal, and regarding religious matters, Liu Tan also made public regulations that as long as each religion did not do anything to confuse and disrupt the country, the imperial court would never interfere.
The entire founding ceremony lasted for nearly an hour. As the first king of the Qin Kingdom, Liu Tan announced a series of policies that were recognized and supported by the vast majority of the people.
Of course, for the aristocrats and wealthy gentry, there are some policies that affect their interests, such as nationalizing all the land in the country and freeing all slaves.
But——
No matter how dissatisfied they are, they dare not say anything in front of the powerful weapons of the Han Dynasty and the nearly 200,000 Han Ming troops. At this time, anyone who dares to stand up and oppose is tantamount to asking for death.
If you cooperate, you will lose some benefits, but it will not harm your life.
If you don’t cooperate, not only will your interests be lost, but also the lives of the entire family will be saved, which is a big problem.
Because when Liu Tan announced these decrees, he specifically emphasized that if anyone dares to obstruct the imperial court from implementing new policies, he will be severely punished—killed without mercy!
The Qin Dynasty was a country founded by the Easterners, and the Romans were the defeated. The defeated could only obey and had no power to bargain.
...
After noon.
Liu Tan officially entered the Roman Palace, and at the same time officially held the first court meeting of the Qin Kingdom in the main hall of the Roman Palace.
After making a request to Liu Chan before the founding of the People's Republic of China, Liu Tan officially appointed Zeng Shu, the imperial censor of the Han Dynasty, as the prime minister of the Qin Kingdom.
The other officials who accompanied Liu Tan on the Western Expedition were all given titles.
For example, Li Feng, the commander-in-chief of the Navy, was granted the title of Chariot and Cavalry General of the Qin Kingdom, Lieutenant General Meng Hua was granted the title of General Anguo, Deng Ai was granted the title of General Zhennan, Sima Zhao was granted the title of General Zhenbei, Lu Kang was granted the title of Censor Lang, and Xu Yi
He was granted the title of Censor Zhongcheng and others.
Some officials who surrendered to Rome were also reappointed.
After the dispersion of the dynasty, as soon as Liu Tan returned to the palace, he said to Liu Chan with some worry: "Father, my son is a little worried!"
"Oh???" Liu Chan was stunned for a moment and asked, "What are you worried about?"
