Chapter 350: I want to learn medicine
After reading the book, the address of [Wanbenshen Station]: Avoid the pain of chasing books!
"Do you think it's good to be a king?" After talking about the Son of Heaven and the Son of Heaven's family, the old doctor changed the topic to the king.
Oh, yes! The princes and kings of the world divided the power and land of the Great Zhou Emperor, then! The princes and kings are very good, aren't they?
But! Kings also have the difficulties of kings.
"This?" Le Ge stalked his neck and said, "Of course the king is more than a cow. They have such a large piece of land, how much tax do they have to collect in a year! ”
"Out of breath!" The old doctor couldn't help but scold: "A country depends on land to pay taxes? There are no other taxes? How much can I collect from land taxes? ”
"This!" Lege wanted to argue, but was interrupted by the old doctor.
He wanted to say: In this most basic way of survival, farming, of course, land taxation is the main thing?
"Land tax is one aspect, and there is another very important tax, that is, commercial tax and resource tax! What is a resource tax? That's minerals, materials! ”
"This?" Lege was said by the old doctor, there is nothing to say!
Oh, yes! In addition to the grain tax, there are also taxes on fisheries, hunters, timber, and other materials. And the main thing! It's a mining tax. In addition to these taxes on local resources, there are also taxes on business.
For example! Taxes on handicraftsmen, taxes on processing plants, taxes on the circulation of commercial goods.
In real calculation, the developed vassal states only pay a small amount of taxes on agriculture, while the majority of taxes on commerce account for the majority.
So! The old doctor interrupted Le Ge to speak.
You're a superficial talker, and I'm too lazy to listen to your explanation.
"The vassal states should also be divided into large and small countries, and they cannot be generalized. And also! The good and bad, the poor and the rich of a country, have a lot to do with the property that the country possesses! That's the basics! A country is poor, no matter how large the land area is, it will not be developed! For example! Yan Guo! Isn't it? For example! Nomads of the North! The nomads of the north, their area is large, right? No matter how big they are, they can't feed many people! Isn't it? ”
"This?"
"And! A country must not only have resources, but also have good managers! What is the use of a large country if the managers are incompetent? Isn't it? ”
"This?"
"And! Relatively speaking! Big countries have an advantage, and small countries suffer! For example! War is coming! No matter how rich a small country is, no matter how powerful its military is, it can't beat a big country? Why? Chu and Jin are so good? Isn't it? Because their land area is large and their population is large? So! He will hit whoever he wants? Isn't it? ”
"This?"
"But! They also have difficulties! If all the small countries are united, and a few large countries similar to Chu or Jin, they can deal with any of the big countries.
For example! The small countries in the Central Plains, they either took refuge in the Jin State or the Chu State, and with a backer, they were not afraid of being bullied by the big countries.
Chu State bullied me, didn't he? I took refuge in the Jin Kingdom. Jin Guo bullied me, didn't he? I took refuge in the state of Chu as a counterbalance.
So! It is useless to be a big country! The key is to rely on managers, managers are not careful, it is easy to fail! The great powers will be dismantled. You know what? ”
"This?" Lege argued, "Whatever those! As a king, there should be two sons. Otherwise! Nor can they be kings. Furthermore! Do they have ministers under them? It's okay if the courtiers are talented, and the courtiers help the king come up with ideas! Isn't it? ”
"What I just told you about is the external environment! Good! Now that you're talking about it, I'm going to talk about the inside story now! It's not easy for kings to do it! Do you think it's easy to do? ”
"This?" Le Ge argued: "It's better than the common people? ”
"Strong? Strong what? ”
"Of course it's strong!"
"It's not as good as you are now!"
"Me?"
"You're free now! Isn't it? ”
"This!"
"You still have someone to protect you!"
"The king has no one to protect? The king's family has no one to protect? They still have an army! An army of tens of thousands of people at every turn! ”
"Forget it!" The old divine doctor interrupted, "What you see is only superficial! In fact, they take a lot of risks! Their wealth and luxury are only temporary, and they will not last long. It's just like the Great Zhou Tianzi swinging wide! You think he's rich? ”
"This? Beg to differ! ”
"Especially the big vassal states, what do you think? They have to be careful with their budgets, too! In order not to be bullied, they had to feed a large army as much as possible. These people! Usually they eat idle food, do not work, and are ready to fight at any time. They are useful only when there is a war. Sometimes! They didn't fight for several years, but they ate every day. What do you think? Who will feed him?
Isn't it? Do kings have to be careful? Otherwise! The wealth of a country feeds the army. But if you don't raise an army, you can't guarantee national security, can you?
This is one aspect, one major aspect. And also! The state has to feed a large number of officials to run the country. These officials will also be given money. Where did he come from? That is! Set aside a piece of land for them to administer and let them get the taxes there. Such! Dividing and dividing weakens the king's own strength.
And the result! The power of the king is small, and the power of the courtiers or brothers and nobles is great, and they don't know that the king is not good, so they still want to be the king just like you, and the result is civil strife!
So! It's not easy to be a king! Although they are more relaxed than the Son of Heaven for the time being, they are more troubled!
Opposite! Those kings who do not do their jobs properly and do not care about the life and death of the country, they can enjoy a moment of happiness. Outcome! They themselves are blessed, but the throne of the king is passed on to their descendants, and the children and grandchildren will have a hard time. It will be difficult for the sons and grandchildren to maintain the throne of king. Unless! Like him, he cares only about his own well-being, not for future generations and the survival of the country.
Again! The king's sons and sons, they are likely to kill each other in order to seize the throne, and at any time they will cause civil strife in the country......"
"This?" After listening to the words of the old miracle doctor, Le Ge was a little stupid.
In fact! He didn't want to fight for hegemony, and here's why: he saw these problems.
Facts are facts! It's not that the network can be free to yy! Any person who travels back in time to ancient times can claim the title of king. That's not your cow ratio, the protagonist cow ratio, but! Brainless yy.
If history is so easy to change, it will no longer be the way it is now, but the way you are.
And history is history! That's how it evolved slowly and naturally.
History! It is not subject to human will! But! Naturally and moving, moving forward!
The cultural thinking is wrong, and it is only a temporary prosperity! Ultimately! History will go into chaos. War! Sooner or later!
It was precisely because of this that Lege chose to follow Confucius, and then fulfilled his ten virgin dreams. For him, the battle for hegemony is considered to be looking for death!
Doesn't it say: If you don't die, you won't die?
