Yang Zheng originally wanted to eliminate corvee labor and reduce the burden on the people, but after practice, he found that it was a bit idealistic.

????????You need to borrow people's power to repair bridges and roads, and you also need to borrow people's power to build cities.

????????During a war, transporting grain and grass also requires civilian power...

?????????Under the advice of Lu Zhi and Suo Jing, Yang Zheng changed his mind and changed the word corvee to mediocrity.

???????Every young man must work for the government for one month every year, and can use goods, money and food to offset the service period.

????????Equal land system, rent is mediocre, if you have land, you will have rent, if you have a home, you will have harmony, if you have a body, there will be mediocrity. If you use it to make a living, your family business will last for a long time without dikes; if you use it to succeed,

If you don't review it, the crowd will know it; if you use it as a principle, the method will not be troublesome but will teach you to practice it; if you use it as a gift, you won't be trapped at the bottom but will be able to use it at the top.

????????Of course, this system is not perfect.

????????There is no perfect system in this world.

????????But relatively speaking, the equal land system is the most suitable for the current situation of Qin.

Qin State directly connected with the people and bypassed the powerful middlemen of the nobles to earn the price difference.

Of course there will be loopholes in the future, which will test the wisdom of future generations.

?????????? Yang Zheng is not a saint, but he has made great contributions to China by allowing the Qin Dynasty to prosper for two to three hundred years and the prosperity of the Sui and Tang Dynasties to come ahead of schedule.

????????The system designed by Emperor Hongwu was considered perfect at the time, and he also formulated a decree stating that the laws of the ancestors cannot be changed...

????????The Ming Dynasty was also restricted to death.

????????Each era has its own situation, rules, and mission.

Yang Zheng's mission is to overthrow the powerful alliance of gentry headed by the Sima family, so he must borrow the power of the humble common people.

????????The people were extremely cooperative with the levy.

After all, they provide two meals a day, and there is no need to fight, just chopping firewood. You still have to waste food when you are idle at home, messing around with the government, maybe breaking Wubao, and maybe getting three melons and two taels.

Jujube rewards.

?????????Yang Zheng is famous for his decisiveness in killing, but he is also famous for his generosity.

?????????The government soldiers and the people all got a little dirty.

?????????So everyone was very cooperative this time.

????????Even the slaves working in the fields came.

????????In the blink of an eye, hundreds of thousands of people gathered in Nan'an.

?????????Xuan Yilang and Xuan Yipu organized the people.

?????????Yang Zheng also ordered the construction of more than fifty catapults.

????????With more people, there is more power. Hundreds of thousands of people can move mountains and fill seas. Naturally, a small Wubao is no problem.

????????In late autumn, there are dead trees and grass everywhere, which have been cut down and piled up under the dock.

?????????Yang Zheng didn’t say a word of nonsense and went straight to the practical stuff.

?????????Fire flames soared into the sky below the city, and cans of kerosene were thrown into the dock one after another.

????????Soon, shrill howls rang out from these seemingly solid forts.

?????????However, the people in Wubao were very stubborn and refused to surrender.

???????? Yang Zheng sighed in his heart, people died for money and birds died for food, so people increased the firepower and kept throwing dry firewood into the fort.

The bursts lasted all day and night, and even the sky in Wubao was burned red.

????????The next day, Wubao couldn't bear it anymore.

?????????The people inside killed the dock owner and left the city to surrender.

Looking at the roasted black prisoners one by one, Yang Zheng rushed into the crowd with his bodyguards, whipping them wantonly with horse whips, "You are a bastard who won't cry until you see the coffin! I won't give it to you.

I want you to be treated as improper human beings, and you will all be sent to Juyan, and Shuofang will be made your slaves!"

????????Hearing that they didn’t have to die, the prisoners secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

????????The reputation of Yang Zheng for massacring the city and building a temple in Beijing is widely spread.

?????????In fact, the slaves in Da Qin were much better than they were as slaves and village slaves. They could be transferred to waiting for return in three years and transferred to govern the people after two years.

?????????After destroying the first fort, you can destroy the second and third one.

?????????Yang Zheng and Zhang Fubing divided into two groups and burned them all the way.

???????Some resisted stubbornly and would rather be roasted into charcoal than surrender.

?????????Some people saw the banner with the word Qin and knew that King Qin Yang Zheng was coming in person, so they opened the city and surrendered obediently.

???????The thirty-three forts in Nan'an were destroyed in an instant.

???????Longxi also followed the same method.

????????Although the powerful heroes are helping each other tactically, they are still scattered in a strategic sense, and there is no difficulty in defeating each one.

????????The Battle of Longxi was more brutal than that of Nan'an. The powerful people here were accustomed to being lawless. They were the first to launch this rebellion. Especially the surnames such as Niu, Liang, and Xin were closely related to the Central Plains gentry.

Thousands of connections.

?????????Wildfires never burn out, but the spring breeze blows and rekindles them.

?????????Sometimes internal struggles are more brutal than external struggles.

?????????But under the pressure of Qin's Mount Tai, all resistance is in vain.

????????It is impossible for a disorganized tycoon to fight against Qin.

????????So when Yang Zheng made up his mind, it was only a matter of time before they were destroyed.

?????????Wubao was bulldozed one by one, and the powerful people of Longxi were destroyed one by one.

More than 100,000 people were moved to Juyan, Beidi, Shuofang and Xihai counties.

?????????The remaining Tianshui County surrendered obediently despite the Qin army's fierce battle and smoke billowing into the sky.

????????As promised, Yang Zheng's legal land was still theirs, and the people who were willing to continue living with them were free to do as they pleased, allowing them to keep domestic slaves, but all land and population must be registered.

The fort must be dismantled and the private army must be disbanded.

????????A wealthy family with more than 100 people in three generations must divide the family, and all descendants, regardless of direct lineage, have the same right to inherit the land.

.

????????Everyone agrees with mediocrity, no exceptions.

?????????In front of the bloody knives of the Qin army, the powerful people extremely supported Yang Zheng's various laws and highly cooperated, perfectly showing the other side of the powerful, cordial, friendly, and submissive...

Yang Zheng left Zhang Fu in Longyou to take charge of the overall situation, and returned to Chang'an with the army.

????????Longyou is just a trial run, it is inevitably a bit rude and unseemly, and there are many imperfections.

????????A Wubao is a closed kingdom.

????????The information is blocked, everything depends on the host.

????????What the powerful say is what it says.

????????Many farmers did not know that Yang Zheng was allocating their fields to them, so the resistance became a little more intense.

?????????"The next step depends on your Zhenfu Division and Xuanyi Division. All powerful and powerful people in Sichuan must have your people. Every household must be identified and let the shade households

The imprisoned people know the national policy of the Qin Dynasty and what equal land is!" Yang Zheng briefly summarized.

?????????"I accept the order!" Pang Qing and Zhao Aqi said with cupped hands.

????????The idea is very clear and we should try our best to mobilize the people.

?????????Yang Zheng doesn’t believe that people don’t want land even if they are given it.

????????Without a shelter and the support of the people in the confinement, even the powerful can't do anything.

????????This is also a strategy to remove the firepower from under the cauldron.

????????The Qin State had powerful gentry families, but no gentry clans.

????????Its power cannot be as strong as that of the Central Plains and can directly confront the government.

Before they evolve into noble clans, suppressing and weakening them is the best option.

????????instead of taking their lives.

????????Existence is reasonable, everything in the world has two sides, and the tyranny of scholars is not without merit.

?????????Although Long You's treatment was a bit disgraceful, a big stone pressing on Yang Zheng's heart was removed.

?????????Those who follow me live, those who go against me perish.

This battle also showed Yang Zheng's determination to implement the equalization of land. The rest depends on the level of the Xuanyi Division and the Zhenfu Division.

????????However, Yang Zheng felt that it was inevitable for the powerful to finally compromise.

????????Because there are too many successful examples in history.
