It is not that there are ordinary people among the three elders, but this proportion is very small.

Before the San Lao became the San Lao, they were basically the military powerhouses in their hometown.

Because of high merit, the salary is good. If the salary is good, you will naturally have extra energy to manage other things.

Due to the military merit system of the Qin Dynasty and hundreds of years of conquests, it can be said that every household has a title.

According to this system, those at the level of first-class knight or sergeant can get one hundred acres of cultivated land.

As Qin unified the six kingdoms, the land in Guanzhong was no longer enough.

So Qin Shihuang began to generously distribute the land of the Six Kingdoms to the soldiers. Firstly, to stabilize the people's hearts, and secondly, to move these meritorious soldiers out, which could act as a deterrent and stabilize the rule of the Qin Dynasty.

The idea is good, the reality is actually good, and the effect is indeed there.

But with Qin II coming to power, everything completely collapsed.

As for the fact that every household has hundreds of acres of cultivated land, this king can only laugh if he is not hungry.

The fact is that the military merit system started earlier and has a history of hundreds of years.

Therefore, the land in Guanzhong was already very tense, but the Qin Dynasty continued to fight, and the young and strong labor force continued to be lost.

The number of people engaged in agricultural labor was seriously insufficient, so after the Qin Dynasty recognized the private ownership of land, the problem of land annexation had already begun in Guanzhong.

After Qin unified the six kingdoms, things were fine at first.

However, as various national projects were launched one after another, not only the people of the Six Kingdoms were recruited for labor, but also the people of Qin were also recruited.

This resulted in another round of land being abandoned, but taxes still had to be paid.

What is even more terrifying is that although the state recognizes the private ownership of land, in order to ensure economic resources, land taxes must be paid directly to the state.

At this time, the landowners will show their magic and take over your land, but they will not transfer it to the government. In fact, the land has been taken away, but it is still in your name. Then, you still need to pay the land tax yourself.

The reason why powerful people are powerful is because they are deeply rooted in the local area, and ordinary people like you can't fight against them.

Therefore, when the first piece of land is sold, the hole in the back will become bigger and bigger.

Until you sell all the farmland, this can only be said to be the initial completion of the goal, and it is still far from the complete end.

Even if you no longer have land, you still have to pay land tax.

How to pay if there is no farmland?

Just go to the powerful people to rent farmland and cultivate it, so you can come out after seeing the tax of 50%.

What does that mean?

When renting land from a powerful person, you have to hand over half of the output to the powerful person, use the rest to pay taxes, and then the rest belongs to your own family.

Therefore, the actual situation that Wang Buxu learned through his scouts was that 23 out of 10 people in Guanzhong had completely lost their land, and 56 out of 10 people had lost half of their land.

In other words, seven or eight out of ten people have sold more than half of their farmland. Where did the farmland go?

These three elders obviously have ulterior motives in making this request now.

"Your Majesty..." Xiao He behind him was a little worried that Wang Buhung's attitude would arouse the resentment of the three elders and ruin the previous good prospects.

"When a country is first established, it will naturally have a completely new scene. If everything remains the same, what is the meaning of the existence of the new country?" Wang Buxu waved his hand and directly interrupted Xiao He's persuasion.

"Your Majesty, this..."

The three elders were stunned. They obviously did not expect that Wang Buxung's attitude would be so firm.

Even though they had used public opinion to exert pressure, they still couldn't make Wang Buxung worry.

Not all the three elders are big landowners, but most of the three elders are big landowners.

After the initial accumulation of capital and reaching a certain level, they began to be kind to others.

The support of one's own tenants, coupled with external operations or alliances.

Therefore, on the surface they were petitioning on behalf of the old Qin people, but in fact they were petitioning for the interests of the landlord class.

They believed that at this critical moment, Wang Buxian should agree in order to gain their support.

But they obviously would not have thought that Wang Buxu had already figured out the actual situation in Guanzhong.

Of course, compared with the original Han Dynasty, it will be more difficult to implement here because the powerful people in Guanzhong have not been moved away.

In history, Liu Bang only made an agreement with them for three chapters and gained the support of Guanzhong. Why did Mao come to him and want more?

what?

Do you think I'm easy to bully when I'm young?

"Kings……"

"Everyone..." Wang Buxu interrupted the other party directly, and the previous courtesy treatment changed directly.

Regarding this issue, the bottom line in Wang Buxu's mind cannot be discussed.

What he wants is the support of more common people, not the support of these local powerful men.

"Have you ever heard that the laws enforced by counties are different? Does each county impose higher or lower taxes? When soldiers from each county go to the battlefield, can they survive because of their place of origin?

The rate is higher? Gu said that he will treat all Han people equally and will not let you be inferior to others just because you are from Lao Qin. Therefore, the land issue is a matter of principle, and Gu will not change his mind.

of!"

Wang Buxu said it was an explanation, but in fact it meant a stronger warning.

How was the distribution within the Han Kingdom completed?

Wang Buxu had already been vaccinated in advance, and the news had already spread among the people in various places.

Those who resist hard or resist softly, they all know what the outcome will be.

Now the king is so powerful that no one in the world can rival him.

Although the old Qin people have blood, this blood will not target the Han army, because the Han army can bring changes to their lives, but the powerful landlords cannot, and may even continue to squeeze them.

"Your Majesty, we just mentioned it casually, and we didn't think as deeply as we thought..."

"Yes! Yes! Yes! The king sees further, we old guys can't compare..."

"If the king can say that, I feel relieved. The king is simply a gospel to all the people in Guanzhong..."

"We just want to see how persistently the king treats one thing, good! Great good! The people in Guanzhong can finally live in peace..."

Complimentary words followed one after another, and the previous explicit hints instantly turned into tests.

Although it was a little bit different, it completely changed the original intention of this group of people.

The main reason is that no one would think that the Han army's swords could not chop off their heads, and no one would think that the Han army would not dare to chop off their heads.

In the face of the bloody lesson, do they still dare to show off to Wang Buxin at this time?

Isn’t that the old man eating arsenic?
