After the war, there should be great governance, and after the chaos, it is also easy to govern, and the two are almost the common views of some people with lofty ideals.

How to manage it after chaos? Isn't it because there were too many people who died during the war and most of the land was vacated, and the government carried out a new round of land equalization, so that the proletarians became propertied and the propertied became richer, and the interests of all parties were taken care of, and naturally the people were willing to settle down and engage in large-scale production.

It must be noted that it has always been until the establishment of the Han Empire, no government has the habit of giving people anything for free, and the pre-Qin era in ancient times paid attention to "heaven rewards diligence", and heaven rewards diligence has a more multi-layer meaning, but there is no white "obtain" this layer of meaning. That is to say, what? It is that there is no thing in the world that you can get without paying, and you need to pay if you want to get something, so of course, it also includes that the government will not allocate land for no reason, such as Shang Ying's change of law in the Qin State is an example.

In the "Law of the Fields", the state divides the land into neat fields with 100 acres of acres as a unit, and regularly maintains these fields every year, which is only possible under the condition that the land is state-owned.

The Qin Law explicitly prohibited the buying and selling of land, and there were some strict restrictions on the state's public and private trade, and at that time almost everything could be bought and sold, including "concubines" and slaves, except that land was not in the category that could be bought and sold.

On the basis of the state-owned land, the Qin state generally practiced the system of granting land to the people, which was the same as that of the Warring States states. However, the premise of Shang Ying's formulation of land state-ownership was for the formation of the farming and warfare system, which offended so many nobles and old families. In order to enrich the treasury, then the purpose of giving land to the people is of course to be able to increase the grain endowment.

Shang Ying implemented a policy of ten taxes and one tax, that is, people need to pay 10% of the tax, in modern view, the tax of 10% is not high, but to be honest, it was slightly higher in the pre-Qin era in ancient times, not to mention that not everyone at that time paid taxes. It is also Shang Ying's formulation of the system that really implements the need for everyone to pay taxes, so he has offended so many people.

In terms of the basic policy of the 10 tax 1, because of the change of the law to give the allocation of land, this type of land is not in the 10 tax 1, it is a decreasing mode every year, for example, as much as 70% of the field tax needs to be paid in the first year, 60% in the second year, 50% in the third year, and then 50% of the land tax will be maintained in the following years, and it will continue to decrease in a few years until the 10 tax is restored. This is also the so-called special case under the rules and regulations.

Non-special cases. The implementation of the ten taxes and one by the Qin State is really ten taxes and one under the strict laws and a strict supervision system. And the first of the ten taxes is still a tax at the national level, not counting the various taxes increased by the local government, the Qin State is not like other warring states that will add some local miscellaneous taxes on the basis of the national tax.

During the Warring States Period, except for the "high tax" of ten taxes and one in the Qin State after the Shang Dynasty Reform Law, the rest of the Warring States had fifteen taxes one, twenty taxes and one and twenty-five taxes, which seemed to be much lighter than the taxes of the Qin State? However, the national taxes of each warring state do not seem to be much, and they are not much but the amount of taxes issued by the center. There will also be some exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes in the local area.

During the Warring States Period, people from all over the world laughed at the people of Qin for living in a society with ten taxes and one tax, which was really hard enough. The ten taxes were also regarded as another evidence of the tyranny of Qin, but the Qin people did not feel that the taxes were heavy, but had some meaning of living a healthy life. Everyone laughed at the people of the Warring States of Qin, they had national-level taxes and local harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and they actually had to live much harder than the Qin people.

Resting with the people is a political concept that the Huang Lao School has always adhered to, and the core idea is "rule without doing", which was considered a useless national policy in the Warring States period, along with some Confucian ideas. The Warring States period was about great disputes. It is to fight for everything, because if you don't fight, you will be fought, the country will die, and the royal family and temple will not be sacrificed, so the rule of inaction in Huang Lao's doctrine and the benevolence and etiquette pursued by Confucianism are basically excluded, but the "righteousness", "wisdom" and "faith" of Confucianism are respected to a certain extent.

The empire was founded by Lü Zhe. On the basis of the old territory, another round of expansion has been carried out, and in fact, it has not only completed the unification of the "world". At this time, many places had just quelled the war, and even some places were still plagued by bandits, but the empire focused its energy on continuing to open up to the outside world, and it seemed that it did not pay much attention to the interior, which made many people in the opposition feel confused and criticized.

What is in the wild? Isn't it that he is not an official in the court, according to the modern meaning, he is a figure such as "public ~ knowledge" of non-ruling personnel.

In ancient times, celebrities and hermits were the kind of people in the opposition, and it was not only in modern times that there were people in the opposition who would attack the government, and it was those celebrities and hermits who were the first to attack and criticize the government.

"Do you mean to say that Shangshan Sihao's proposition is to rest with the people?"

"Your Majesty, I didn't have a very detailed conversation, that's what the minister learned from some conversations."

"To what extent do you rest with the people? Do not do any management of stocking? ”

"This ......"

Lu Zhe was not disappointed, he remembered that according to the development of "established history", after Liu Bang won the world, the Huang Lao School did rise its head, and in the following generations of Han Emperors, the Huang Lao School began to fill the court, especially in the period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, the Huang Lao School was the most prosperous.

Each period has its own unique time node, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty was in charge of the world, the Han Empire was indeed not suitable for big moves, and the "rule by inaction" of the Huang Lao school was also in line with the needs of the government at that time, so some of the ruling concepts of the Huang Lao school were implemented.

The queen of Emperor Liu Heng of the Han Dynasty is called Dou Yi, she is a faithful and fanatical believer in the Huang Lao doctrine, with the existence of such a queen, it is impossible for the Huang Lao School not to be in power, after the death of Emperor Liu Heng of the Han Dynasty, Dou Yi became the queen mother, and the Han Jing Emperor Liu Qi did not have much say at the beginning of the succession, and the Han family was once above the court Huang Lao, and it was unspeakable to Huang Lao.

Is it Huang Lao unspeakable? It's not that Dou Yi doesn't like other theories, of course, except for the people of the Huang Lao School, the rest of the people have no right to speak. This phenomenon continued until the early days of the accession to the throne of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, and the ancestors and grandchildren repeatedly clashed because of their different views on current affairs. The result of those Confucian scholars jumping was effortlessly cleaned up by Empress Dowager Dou Yi.

The empire built by Lü Zhe was not the same as the state founded by Liu Bang.

Liu Bang established the empire after the great chaos at the end of the Qin Dynasty, and then there were many attacks and killings between Chu and Han, the population was greatly reduced, the economy suffered unimaginable heavy losses, and even the war horses in the country were sharply reduced to the point that they could not find four white horses.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Han Empire, all sides withered. It was very weak, and then Liu Bang was trapped in Baideng, that is, the "Siege of Baideng" incident, in fact, he had no ability to open up at all, and even the Lingnan counties, Nanhai County, and Minzhong County that had been laid down by the Qin generation were lost again.

In Liu Bang's era, the territory of the Han Empire was mostly preserved except for the Central Plains and Qin, and the Chu and Yan lands were mostly lost, and the Hetao was of course also lost.

The country is weakened and needs time to regain its strength, so it can only put away its minions. It will not expand outward at all, and even sometimes it can only be silent when it is beaten, so the lost land was not recovered in the era of Emperor Liu Heng of the Han Dynasty, and the lost territory was not recovered in the era of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.

"Are they joking?" Lu Zhe frowned and said: "Is it the time to make great achievements, let the country let the people go and stop foreign wars?" ”

If Zhang Liang's circumstances and experiences have not changed, he is actually one of the main forces in favor of resting with the people, and even many, many people advocate resting with the people. Only then did the Han family have several generations of "stocking" in China.

The current Zhang Liang is no longer the Zhang Liang in history, he has a new experience. Being able to participate in the imperial government can also understand more aspects, so he is very embarrassed, and said: "The Xiongnu have experienced several major defeats when they are weak, and they should indeed take advantage of the great opportunity to expel them in one fell swoop, and it is best to drive them to Mobei." ”

Lu Zhe was very pleased to hear it, but he remembered some of Zhang Liang's original actions in history. Now that I see Zhang Liang become a main battle faction, the joy in my heart is not enough for outsiders. He said with a smile: "The ambition to expel the Hu people to Mobei is smaller, and we should also consolidate the grassland occupation area, and even expand the occupation area beyond Mobei." ”

Zhang Liang let out a "uh...... and thought about it again and again. Said cautiously: "Shang Shan Sihao doesn't know much about the government and politics, and he doesn't know much about the current situation of the country, but they advocate resting with the people is collected from the people, Your Majesty...... Maybe it should be verified? ”

One thing is more certain, it is a sure thing that someone in the country thinks about An, after all, he has just come out of the war, who doesn't want to live in peace for a few years? But this is definitely not the mainstream, there are people who have Si'an, are there no ambitious people who want to make a difference?

"The military wants to reduce the army, but the enthusiasm of the counties and counties to join the army has been repeatedly inflated, and they have been made to have a headache in their brains." Lu Zhe is brave in the blood of the people under the rule of Danse, and he is also euphemistically refuting the statement that the people are at peace.

Zhang Liang is a doctor, he can say anything, anyway, it's just a suggestion. He was very happy when he saw that Lu Zhe was interested in chatting, didn't some opinions be slowly raised while chatting? He has a lot of things he wants to talk about national policy to Lu Zhe.

The patrol team has arrived at Michi. This place is about sixty miles away, and during the Warring States Period, the Six Kingdoms repeatedly joined forces to attack Qin, and many times they stationed their troops near Mianchi and Xin'an, because it was close to the Yellow River and Luoshui, and there would be no shortage of water sources for the army to be stationed. In addition, because the terrain between the two places is relatively flat, it is suitable for the camp when the army is camped.

After Qin unified the world, because the first emperor ordered the city wall, some of the city walls of the pass were not demolished, including Hangu Pass, in order to place the repetition of the need to have corresponding measures for the entrance of Qin, located in the east of Hangu Pass, the pond played an early warning role, there was a time when the garrison exceeded 100,000, but later were sent north to fight the Xiongnu.

There is currently a garrison in Michi, which is the 16th Mixed Regiment, which is commanded by Zang Tu.

Trying to try the imperial military under the current situation of military reform, some corps are actually not in a state of full strength, and even the commanders of the lieutenant generals have been rotated, some of the legions stationed in the interior have gradually been transferred out of the auxiliaries, and some formations have also been transferred to the north, for example, the 16th mixed corps stationed in Michi is an under-formed corps, with less than 30,000 troops.

The emperor's procession was close to thirty miles, and Zang Di took some generals in the army to greet him, and the time when they saw the emperor was when Lu Zhe was chatting warmly with Zhang Liang and some others.

Lu Zhe is talking with a group of people about the formulation of national policies, and the unifying point is to distinguish and arrange policies from place to place and from person to person, and those who want to be stable can be stable, and if they want to make a difference, they can participate.

Among the group of people, there was the figure of Shangshan Sihao, but Huang Shigong was not present. Shangshan Sihao looked very happy, they accepted the emperor's call, and when they came to the patrol team, they talked with Lu Zhe once, thinking that the emperor's explanation of the national policy was that some of the words they said were accepted by the emperor.

Of course, the emperor will recruit Shangshan Sihao, after all, Shangshan Sihao has shown an attitude of being a scholar, Shangshan Sihao has a great reputation among the people, if the emperor does not express it, wouldn't he not pay attention to talented people?

Shangshan Sihao was recruited and was happy that the emperor had listened to some opinions, but he was disappointed that he only arranged the position of guest secretary and did not arrange an official position, so Zhang Liang, as a recommender, specially explained to the four people, explained in detail the system of imperial officialdom, and explained a series of processes for appointment and assessment, although the four were depressed, they were not good to complain.

If you want to be an official, you must have the corresponding talent, and to prove that you have talent needs to go through an assessment, start serving at some levels, and then look at your performance to decide whether to be promoted, and the empire goes through such a process.

Shangshan Sihao is a hermit and a celebrity, they think that they have the talent to start as a small official, and they will express their opinions when they have the opportunity to get close to the emperor, hoping to be valued by the emperor, and do not follow the process to have special arrangements.

Did Lu Zhe arrange anyone with special circumstances? In fact, there are, such as Meng Tian is one of them, Zhang Han and others also took a shortcut because of Lu Zhe's special arrangement for Meng Tian, but these people have already repaid Lu Zhe with their actual merits, and they have also used their talents to silence some gossip people.

The national policy of having Zhang Youchi has always been brewing in Lu Zhe's heart, but he has not been able to form a framework plan, he talked a lot with Shang Shan Sihao, and naturally rejected those decadent thoughts, but what Shang Shan Sihao said was not all unreasonable...... (To be continued.) )
