A group of villagers invited ten Qin officials into the village. The village chief raised his voice and shouted, "The adults are here, hurry up and hold a banquet to entertain the adults. You should serve good wine and good meat."

The villagers were busy organizing and had to hold a banquet.

"Let's go." Qi hurriedly took a quick step, stopped the villagers who were about to go to the program, and clasped his fists and said, "Dear fellow villagers: We have learned your kindness. We must not hold a wine or a banquet."

"Sir? You think there is no delicious food in our village, right? Please rest assured. In order to welcome the adults, we went up the mountain to hunt, and there were all kinds of delicious food and game." The village chief quickly explained.

"That's not what it means." Qi Meng explained quickly, saying: "According to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, officials are not allowed to accept hospitality and gifts, otherwise they will be punished by Qin law."

"Sir, are you joking? How could such a thing be? Isn't it just a meal?" The villagers were very disbelief.

"It's true." Qi Meng said hurriedly: "In the Qin Dynasty, not only officials are not allowed to accept hospitality or gifts, but even the king is the same. Do you know? King Huiwen of Qin once killed officials who gave gifts, and King Zhao of Qin also killed officials who wanted to give birthday gifts."

"This..." The villagers all stared at each other with disbelief on their faces, as if they were listening to a fantasy.

The laws of Qi were corrupt. When officials inspected, they not only had to drink and treat them well, but also had to be careful when serving the marquis. It was best to find a few beautiful beauties. In a word, they should serve the marquis all over.

Not only do you need to treat it well, but you also have to give generous gifts. You must satisfy your official and historical officials, otherwise you will feel better.

The Qin officials were just the opposite. They were not allowed to accept hospitality or gifts. This kind of thing was never heard of by the villagers. It was really difficult to ask them to believe it.

"Sir, you didn't lie to us, are you?" After a while, the villagers woke up.

"In the Great Qin Dynasty, this is a well-known thing. You may not believe it now. After you know the Qin method, you will believe it." Qi Meng said hurriedly.

"But, you come from afar. If you don't eat or drink, it's not good, right?" the village chief hesitated.

"If you want to prepare some hot water for us, then we can do things if we have hot water." Qi Meng said.

"The officials of the Qin Dynasty are really good officials. They don't accept hospitality or gifts. Such good officials, where can they find them in the world?"

"It would be great if the officials of Qi could be so honest."

Immediately afterwards, the villagers were filled with emotion.

"It is precisely because the officials of the Qin Dynasty are honest and the officials of Qi State are greedy that the Qin Dynasty can conquer the world, and Qi State can only perish." Qi Meng was originally a native of Qi, and he was most clear about the affairs of Qi State. He also felt deeply moved when he heard the villagers' feelings.

Under the command of the village chief, several villagers filled hot water with a pot of pottery and moved it out. They also took a few pottery cups for drinking tea.

After Qi Meng thanked him, he said, "Time is tight, so we won't say much. Let's start dealing with official duties now. Meng Sanhei, Liu Qiwa... come out."

A few black and short Qi people stood up, a little scared, their eyes flashed, and they dared not look at Qi Meng.

"Please rest assured. If you ask you to come out, there is something good." Qi Meng smiled and said, "You are all slaves, not Chinese people, without family business, and even their lives are hard to save..."

These people are slaves in the village. It is common for them to be beaten and scolded on weekdays. Their lives are not guaranteed at any time, let alone seek wealth. After hearing Qi Meng's words, these people were very angry, clenched their hands into fists, and their faces were twisted.

The tragic fate of slaves is unnecessary. It is something that everyone can think of, who doesn’t want to be a commoner?

"…………Congratulations, from now on, you are no longer slaves, you are Chinese people!" Qi Meng clasped his fists and congratulated them.

The people's eyes widened and stared at Qi Meng with disgust on their faces.

"Gugu." A strange sound was made in their throats. They wanted to speak, but they couldn't speak.

"Sir, is it true?" Suddenly, several people asked tremblingly, their voices trembling.

Slaves are not even considered humans, they can only be regarded as tools and the property of slave owners. Their destiny is tragic. They are always looking forward to getting rid of their slave status and becoming common people. When they hear Qi Feng's words, they are like five thunders rushing to the top, which is unbelievable.

"It's true!" Qi Meng took the photo of the official from the official and handed it to them, "This is your photo of the photo, you have put it away. From then on, you will be the people of the Qin Dynasty."

"Puff!" These people knelt on the ground and kowtowed hard, and their foreheads hit the ground with too much force, making a "bang" sound: "Sir Xie, Sir Xie."

Qi Meng hurriedly helped him up with several officials and smiled and said, "Don't thank me, if you want to thank me, thank Qin Fa."

"Thank you Qinfa! Thank you Qinfa!" These people were so excited that they hugged each other and burst into tears: "Woo woo!"

The crying sounds like thunder, as if it was about to cry out all the tragic fates that decades had passed.

After Qi Meng and the others persuaded them for a long time, they stopped crying and kept shouting, "I am a Chinese! I am a Chinese finally!"

Qi Meng smiled and said, "Your Majesty has an order, Qi has obtained new results, and the first year of taxes will be exempted."

"Not for tribute?" A scream sounded, from the mouths of the villagers.

The laws of Qi corrupted princes and nobles, and the powerful families tried to increase taxes in different ways. They were as expensive as a tyrant, and they wanted to squeeze out the common people and the people, and they had never heard of such things as exempting taxes.

It was a fantasy for them to hear that Qin would be exempted from taxes for one year, or they would not be shocked.

"Yes, it's just a exemption from tuition." Qi Meng smiled and affirmed, and then said: "The second and a half years of tuition, and the third year is to pay the full amount."

"Sir, how much does this tribute do you have?" the village chief stroked his forehead and asked hesitantly.

"Yes. Not too many, right? Will it be even more evil than the nobles and noble families of Qi?" The villagers were unsure.

"But please rest assured that the taxes of the Qin Dynasty are fixed, and no one can change them, even the king cannot do it." Qi Meng smiled and said, "The taxes of the Qin Dynasty are not high, they are just twelve."

"Twenty percent? That's so low?" The villagers were overjoyed and were all excited.

In the past, all the exploitation was layer by layer, and most of their labor income was removed. What's more, not only did all the labor income be exploited, but also had to be reposted, which was amazing.

For Qi people, 20% of the tax is a low tax that they have never heard of, and they cannot be happy.

"You new Chinese people will be exempted from taxes for three years." Qi Meng pointed at the humanitarians of Meng Sanhei who had just become a Chinese.

"Long live yours!" Meng Sanhei and the others cheered.

The slaves had just obtained their own body and had no spare wealth in the family. If they were asked to pay the tax, it would be too harsh. It would be worth exempting them from their taxes for three years.

"Long live your life!" The villagers cheered happily, raising their arms and laughing happily, and they all smiled even more happily than the New Year.

"The taxes of the Qin Dynasty are fixed. Except for the national government, it is your own, even if it is too much." Qi Meng encouraged and said, "You can work hard to help the crops. If you can't finish the surplus grain, you can raise livestock and poultry. Eating more meat is good for your body."

"That's, that's." The villagers agreed happily.

Some people even began to think about how to serve crops, and they must work harder than serving women.

"The land of Qi has not been plowed with oxen, so that it is easier for you to grow crops. Daqin will send you oxen and iron farm tools to you." Qi Meng's words made the villagers even more happy.

"Plowing ox? Haha, this is great. We have meat to eat." Some villagers cheered loudly and looked full of joy.

"Yes. The beef is delicious, we have a good taste." An echo immediately.

In the Warring States Period, looking at the world, only Qin State fully implemented the technology of ox plowing. In Qi land, it was not that ox plowing was not used, but that it was very rare and not popular, far from reaching the level of popularization of Qin State. In the eyes of Qi people, ox plowing was not an indispensable farm tool, but meat.

"Eat? You know how to eat?" Qi Meng said in a deep voice: "According to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, those who harm oxen will be punished!"

"Ah! Is this a crime?" A scream sounded, from the mouths of the villagers, all of whom were shocked and incredible.

"That's right. Whoever dares to hurt the plowing ox will have to pay the blame." Qi Meng said with a stern face: "The plowing ox will be tested every year. If the next year is not as good as the current year, the ox will be punished. Slaughtering the plowing ox must be approved by the government and officials will be sent to supervise it on the spot.

Those who privately slaughter the ox will be punished!"

These words are full of power, murderous intent, and are thrilling.

"Then I'd rather not, no more." Some villagers immediately gave up.

"Yes, no more. This is not a plowing ox, this is the ancestor, I don't want to suffer this." An echoed voice rang.

"No? That doesn't work. You have to ask for it even if you don't want it, and you have to ask for it even if you want it. If you want it, you have to raise good oxen." Qi Meng's words were very arrogant and quite unreasonable.

"How can we make such a reason? Can't we just stop it?" The villagers condemned in unison.

"I'll ask you, how many days can you use one person to plow the land for a day?" Qi Meng asked in a deep voice.

"Three days, not four days, or even five days." The villagers thought for a while and replied.

"One person and one ox plow the land for one day can be worth three or five days. Why don't you do such a convenient thing?" Qi Meng's face was very gloomy and said coldly: "If you want to not be hungry, you have to use ox to plow. If you want to eat meat and drink wine, you are using ox to plow. You all know that the Qin State is rich, and the Qin people in Guanzhong eat meat and drink wine, which is true. However, this kind of beauty did not fall from the sky, but was obtained by the Qin people in Guanzhong serving the crops and using ox to plow."

These words are reasonable and no one can refute them, and the villagers are speechless.

"Sir, we can't raise cattle?" In the Warring States Period, ox plowing was very precious, so how could these people in the world raise cattle?

"It doesn't matter. The Qin Dynasty will guide you to raise cattle." Qi Meng stretched out his right hand, and an official hurriedly handed him a bundle of bamboo slips. Qi Meng took it in his hand and shook it, saying, "This is the ten methods of raising cattle. How to raise cattle is all on it. The Qin Dynasty will send officials to supervise this matter. If you have any questions, you can ask him."

"So that's it, it's good. With plowing oxen, we will be much stronger and we will have a good life." The village chief took the lead in expressing his opinion.

"Yes." The villagers figured it out and agreed in unison.
