Chapter 2293 It’s different this time(2/2)
Just like the previous Xiqiang Rebellion.
But this time, it's different...
The melodious sound of the bone flute floats in the wind, and I don’t know which herdsman is playing it. The Han people like to use bamboo flutes, while the Qiang people mostly use bone flutes. In the Han Dynasty, flutes were called "horizontal blowing".
Beigong seemed to hear some confusion and hesitation from the music. Of course, maybe it was just Beigong himself who was confused and hesitant, just like Beigong of the previous generation.
During the previous Qiang rebellion, most of the Qiang people lived a very poor life, not only living in poverty, but they were also often oppressed by Han officials.
To put it simply, it means "exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes".
The serious taxes are actually not very high. Even if they just have to pay these taxes, the vast majority of Qiang people will not have any objections. The ones who have objections, and even find them very painful, are those "exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes"
.
Since it is "miscellaneous taxes", the text is missing.
The more famous "miscellaneous taxes" in the Han Dynasty, also known as "miscellaneous levies" and "miscellaneous taxes", mainly include three aspects, one is the "loan tax", the other is the "money tax", and the last one is the "livestock tax"
』……
There are also such things as salt class, tea class, Ganfen, dental post, pawn tax, deed tax, etc.
It can be said that as long as a person is alive, he has to pay various miscellaneous taxes, and if he does not pay, various crimes and torture instruments are ready, including tattoos, rape, palace, abortion...
Moreover, they have to go to the credit reporting system to indicate that this person is a criminal...
Don't want to be punished?
You can pay another fine and be released on bail pending trial.
"Redemption of tattoos", "Redemption of endurance", "Redemption of flow", "Redemption of palace", "Redemption of ghosts with enough salary"...
In short, no matter what, you have to get money.
As for "donation", it is even more interesting. "Donation" is not like "tax". "Tax" is an express provision, such as issuing a notice to tell all the people that starting from a certain day of a certain year, a certain month, their family will
People in a certain area have to pay a "tax" every month, which is called a "security tax". After all, this area has hired special guards to protect the safety here. This is clearly stipulated. If you don't pay, you will be liable.
Enforcement by means of coercion.
There are also things like "breathing tax", "double yolk egg tax", "catkin tax", "handsome guy tax"...
"Donation" is "voluntary".
For example, if there is a war, there are various "levies" and various "transmissions". These levies are "donations". They are all voluntary in name. It does not say that they must be paid, but what if they don't pay voluntarily...
It's like the leader's wine. Even if he knows that his liver will explode if he drinks it, he still has to take it and drink it "voluntarily" because those who "unwillingly" have fallen down and can't sit on the table.
.
Therefore, when the Qiang people rioted before, they almost responded to the call. As soon as all the Qiang people heard that they wanted to fight the Han people and oppose these exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, they all gritted their teeth and rushed forward, bringing several generations and dozens of people with them.
The hatred of generations, along with the grudges of family members and even a whole clan, tooth for tooth, blood for blood!
But this time, it's different.
After the arrival of the Han people with the tricolor flag, the Qiang people's life...
Life is okay.
Although Beigong doesn't want to admit it, it is indeed the case.
Due to some officials in the Longyou Liangzhou area, exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes have been somewhat restrained, but they still exist. It is just because the overall income of the Qiang people is higher than before, so in comparison, their tolerance is higher.
Some, especially after the opening up of the Western Regions, some Qiang people who were engaged in transportation and business even became wealthy...
Then these Qiang people were naturally unwilling to participate in Beigong's operation.
Another difference is that before, it was to oppose those Han officials who imposed excessive taxes, but this time, it is to protect these original old forces. Because "nurturing bandits to respect themselves" is two-sided.
Those Qiang people who followed the tricolor flag gradually broke away from their original queue and became less controlled by Beigong and less listened to Beigong's words.
Beigong believed that if this development continued, even if the Han people in the tricolor flag did not take action, the Qiang people would split and collapse, and the banner behind him would completely lose its influence and role.
Just like what he and other Qiang-headed people described before, the grass beside the rabbit hole has been cut away, so the next step is to catch the rabbit, and he is the biggest and fattest rabbit.
The world of Longyou and Xiliang is such a strange ecological circle. Anyone who tries to break this ecological circle will be attacked by everyone in this ecological circle.
This time, of course, it was nominally for the benefit of all Qiang people, but Bei Gong knew that it was for himself. For the sake of the Qiang people's large banner, which can still be erected in Longyou, and the sheep skull totem, which is still the totem of the Qiang people.
The symbol of the Qiang people!
"Come here!" Beigong looked into the distance and ordered in a deep voice, "Pass the order! If anyone does not gather here as required within three days, they will be treated as traitors! Everything is for the glory of the Qiang people!"
