Chapter 894 Profit

Three months later, the slave tax was extended from Jingzhao to the entire Guanzhong.

The news has been out for a long time, and people gradually accepted it.

Its existence is reasonable. Since slavery exists, it means that it has adapted to this era and the court has regulated it to prevent its barbaric growth.

Many slaves were attached to wealthy Han households by their entire families. In fact, they were no different from tenant farmers, except that they lost some personal freedom. In addition to farming, they also had to serve their masters.

Of course, the vast majority of people cannot afford to keep slaves.

He couldn't even feed himself, let alone keep slaves.

Even if the wealthy families are dissatisfied, there is no ground for rebellion.

It doesn't matter to the larger wealthy families. If the slaves are legal, they can enjoy it openly.

The implementation in Guanzhong encountered little resistance.

At the end of the second year of Taixing, Yang Zheng issued an edict and the whole country implemented it.

The secretary in the corner, Li Mi, was busy writing, and not long after, a vigorous edict came out.

In the later Tang Dynasty, Emperor Li Er continued to fight, but he did not see the country weakening. He only needed to control his situation well. Unlike Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, he could not move millions of troops. Before the enemy was killed, he killed himself first.

The ancestors of the Xianbei people, who were poor and red-eyed for more than ten generations, finally took advantage of the war in the Central Plains to occupy the land and population. How could they vomit out what they had eaten?

As long as there is no large-scale violent resistance, Yang Zheng will treat them as consent.

Looking at the surrounding area, everything that can be robbed has been robbed, and only the Xianbei Tribe and Goguryeo in Liaodong are left.

Besides, fighting foreign wars is not always a loss-making business.

Yang Zheng raised the imperial seal and slapped it on the edict.

If this group of people continues to stay in Youzhou or Jizhou, Yang Zheng will feel somewhat uneasy.

Suo Jing said: "Your Majesty can just reward you with gold, silver and official positions. Why do you need to promise such a huge profit?"

The Liaodong mentioned by Yang Zheng is by no means the homeland of the Han Dynasty. Liaodong is a large regional concept. Rather than taking advantage of others, it is better to take advantage of one's own family.

"If this were not the case, how could Hebei Haoqiang An be spared his life?"

Lu Zhi smiled bitterly, "Since Your Majesty has already made a plan, I won't waste any time talking."

"General Guanqiu can sweep across Liaodong with more than 10,000 cavalry. Aren't my sons inferior to those before him?" Yang Zheng poured a pot of chicken blood.

There are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom, and the game between the central government and local governments has been going on since ancient times.

It also means that Da Qin will not regret it, otherwise it will be a breach of trust in the world.

"Uncle, do you know that I have no allies?" Yang Zheng said with a smile.

Many rich and powerful people simply led their families, dressed in rags, crowded in front of the government offices and rolled around...

If you want others to risk their lives, you must give them enough benefits.

The slaves took the initiative to oppose the collection of slave tax, saying that the master treated them well and the court did not need to worry about it.

People from Hebei came forward, people from the Central Plains shouted to support the momentum, and the wealthy families from Jiangdong waited and watched.

"How much can the powerful take from such a large land?"

Robbing the Qiang people, robbing the Hu people, robbing the Hu people, robbing the Sima family, and becoming bigger and stronger step by step.

Wei Guan always followed Yang Zheng's wishes, "Goguryeo has made a comeback, and the three tribes in Liaodong have invaded Daifang, Xuantu and other counties. They have two to three hundred thousand Han barbarians under their command. The land in Liaodong is fertile and can be cultivated and grazed. In time, the strength will be greatly increased."

, If we don’t attack at this time, we will definitely bring disaster to our descendants.”

"His Majesty……"

Yang Zheng's rise is essentially robbery.

If you don't take them out to chop outsiders, it's really a waste of natural resources.

Once stamped with a jade seal, it has legal effect.

This era is not as harmonious as it is advertised in history books.

Yang Zheng has been around for so many years and has never done anything like this.

They each expanded their armies and prepared for war.

There is no need to waste Guanzhong's food and grass, and there is no need to send troops from Guanzhong. Naturally, no one objects to such a good thing.

The strength of Hebei is evident.

Originally, the three tribes in Liaodong hated each other and attacked each other. Dogs bit dogs in Liaodong. However, after the rise of the Qin Dynasty, they felt a strong threat and these three tribes actually formed an offensive and defensive alliance with Goguryeo.

Lu Zhi said: "General Guanqiu was able to sweep across Liaodong because of the help of the Xianbei people. Today is different from the past. The Xianbei people have the right time, place and people. Our army is far away and the soldiers are working hard."

"The drought in Guanzhong is not over yet, and there will be another war. I'm afraid..." This time it was not Lu Zhi who objected, but Suo Jing.

Yang Zheng ordered people to carry him to the sand table in Liaodong, pulled out his long sword, and drew a large circle on the sand table, covering the entire Far East.

"The attack on Liaodong can be put on the agenda." In Yang Zheng's Tianyuan Pavilion, all the ministers and ministers of Great Qin gathered together.

Du Yu didn't support it either, "Daxing is five thousand miles away from Liaodong, so the transportation of grain and grass is difficult."

From Yang Zheng's point of view, governing a country is actually about balancing the interests of all parties. If the court takes away the interests of others, it must give certain compensation to form a virtuous circle, establish mutual trust, and then work together to accomplish great things.

Being powerful is also a resource. You have soldiers and food in your hands.

Wenyang's 20,000 cavalry swept through Moxi. Political interests aside, the population, cattle and sheep alone brought back hundreds of thousands.

Da Qin originally had a dual system of agriculture and animal husbandry, and it was nature to be enterprising.

Du Yu and Suo Jing also nodded in agreement.

During the Han and Wei dynasties, the Yingchuan gentry was famous all over the world, and the powerful people in Hebei were not far behind. The "April Civil Order", which is a guide for farming and worship, is actually the family history of the Cui family in Qinghe.

"The wealthy families in Hebei are powerful and can be commanded. Ma Xiaoxing has stationed troops in Hebei for many years. Aren't his horsemen and cavalrymen from Xianbei?" Yang Zheng had already been confident.

In the past, the wealthy families in Guandong were suppressed, but the powerful people in Youzhou were only spared, just for today.

The enslavement of foreigners was everywhere, Hebei enslaved the Wuhuan and Xianbei Xiongnu, Jiangdong enslaved Shanyue, Shuzhong enslaved the southern barbarians, and the Central Plains people enslaved their own people...

There was no direct violent confrontation, but soft confrontation became more and more intense.

Yang Zheng said loudly: "The edict: Liaodong is the homeland of China, but now it is occupied by others, and my people are the slaves of others. This is unbearable. All our warriors in the Qin Dynasty can recruit their own warriors from their hometowns to regain the lost land. If it’s done, I won’t hesitate to give you a hereditary or replacement title!”

Guandong is not as easy to talk to as Guanzhong, especially the powerful ones in Hebei, which have certain strength. Most of the people in the family are Karasuma, Jie, Xiongnu, etc., who constantly write to the court to cry out and sell themselves into poverty.

He said that he was too poor to expose the blame, so how could he have any spare money to pay taxes to the court? The wealthy people of Guandong enjoyed the benefits of trade and were the biggest beneficiaries of the slave trade. Of course they would not object, but the people of Guandong were different. The poor people all The northwest wind is coming soon.

However, Yang Zheng's consistent approach is that if he takes other people's things, he should give them some compensation.

The Chinese elites such as Lu Zhi, Du Yu, and Wei Guan had little interest in foreign lands. What they cared about was actual control and basically had no objection.

When the Zhou Dynasty was founded, it was only in the Yellow River Basin, but after some enfeoffments, the territory expanded rapidly.

Liaodong was first enfeoffed during the Zhou Dynasty.

If it is sealed, doesn't it become China's sacred territory since ancient times?

Yang Zheng raised his sword and drew a circle around the coastal area in the Far East. "This place can establish the Bohai Kingdom. Just like the Xia Kingdom, it will be controlled by the prince!"
