Chapter 3184 The cold wind is like scissors(2/2)
In the political situation in the early Han Dynasty, inheriting the Qin system was one aspect, and assimilation policy was equally important.
Liu Bang and Xiao He were able to follow Qin's footsteps and build the imperial career again, and avoid repeating the mistakes of the destruction of Qin. One of the reasons was that they learned the lessons of the Qin Dynasty and did not rush to neat customs and unify culture in a short period of time. Instead, after completing the military conquest and political unification of the country, they temporarily stopped and accepted and tolerated the situation of coexistence of different customs. They implemented different policies for different regions. They set up counties and counties in western areas such as Qin, Han, and Wei, and "governed by Han laws", while in eastern areas such as Zhao, Yan, Qi, and Chu, they established kingdoms, allowing princes and kings to formulate and promulgate their own policies and laws within a certain range, and relying on their own scholars to "follow customs" to govern to a certain extent.
It is both "following the king" and "following the common people".
This was the case when Fei Qian first entered Sichuan.
However, "following the king" and "following the common people" are contradictory in themselves, and ultimately they must be unified to "following the king".
However, when Fei sneaked into Sichuan and Shu, although he suppressed various counties and counties in military terms, it was still chaotic in culture and personnel, especially when the traditional influence of the local gentry and gentry in Sichuan was still very large. If the law was forcibly implemented, there would inevitably be a risk of arousing large-scale resistance.
Under such circumstances, Fei Qian asked Xu Shu to slow down his plan.
Xu Shu did do this.
Now, it is basically time to "see the picture".
Xu Shu looked at the piles of writings, and suddenly shook his head and laughed, "Didn't these people expect it... No, they thought it, but they couldn't..."
...
...
Wu Yi claimed to be injured and was recuperating at home.
Wu's money is one of the best among Sichuan and Sichuan.
Just like Wu Yi’s other courtyard is now where Wu Yi is “retiring”. Not to mention the others, there are three gardens alone.
In the mansion, of course, it is impossible that Wu Yi alone or the family are cleaning it, but there are a lot of slaves.
The problem of slaves in Sichuan and Shu is even more serious than in Guanzhong.
Although the Han Dynasty was an agricultural society with self-cultivated farmers as the main body, there were also a large number of slaves in the society. These slaves had a completely different identity from free people. Until the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the existence of such slaves was still very common.
Slaves are not only slaves themselves, but their children are also slaves. Slave children were called "slaves give birth to children" in the Han Dynasty. For example, Wei Qing, the general of the Western Han Dynasty, gave birth to children, and his mother Wei Wu was a slave. Therefore, Wei Qing was always a slave and shepherd a sheep until Wei Qing's sister was fortunate to Emperor Wu.
Under slaves, there is naturally an economic system in the form of slaves.
Just like in the Wu family, almost all the labor is done by slaves.
To some extent, these slaves are not considered "human".
But under the new policy of cavalry, slaves must be counted as humans.
This is not a simple attitude or a slogan, but it actually affects many aspects. The most critical issue is that it involves "mental arithmetic".
This is another new measure that seems to be like the collapse of the sky and the earth after "Shinta Masato".
Many people in the Han Dynasty, regardless of the special identities of prisoners and war criminals, just talking about ordinary self-cultivating farmers, in the long Han Dynasty, there were also many self-cultivating farmers who "voluntarily" sold themselves as slaves...
It is either sold in this prefecture or in that prefecture.
Local gentry and gentry use no means or high or low prices to obtain the labor value of these "slaves" and attempt to possess them for a long time.
The rich have a lot of means to evade or transfer taxes.
The most common one is to hide the fields and households.
According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, all farming fields had to be paid taxes, and the national tax was actually very low. However, local gentry even had to intercept these taxes, that is, although local gentry responsible for collecting rent and drafts had already collected them from farmers, they intercepted them privately to encroach on national taxes.
This involves the Han Dynasty's moves similar to the "tax-inclusive system".
The prefects in the Han Dynasty did not allow local offices, so they came from other places. The prefects who served at the same time were of course proficient in scriptures, but not everyone was good at arithmetic. In order to maintain their official hats, these prefects often gave the authority to collect taxes to local gentry. Local gentry only needed to pay the tax amount required by the prefect, and the others were remuneration for local gentry, which naturally led to the hidden land.
It is even easier to hide a household. After all, it is sold to local gentry. Even if the account that was originally an ordinary citizen is aborted. With a red pen, the "household tax" related to this household will naturally not have to be paid.
In addition, there are fraud, sick and disabled people, false reporting of the elderly and young people, etc. Anyway, there are only unexpected things, but no one can do it.
But once these slaves also become registered populations, this means that the original "slave owner" needs to pay more taxes...
In Guanzhong, because most of the "slaves" are counted on Fei Qian. So at the beginning, Fei Qian said that he would give these "slaves" wages so that these "slaves" could pay their own oral calculations. Some people laughed at Fei Qian for being a scattered coins, while others thought that Fei Qian was a waste of money, but after all, it was Fei Qian's own business and others could not say anything.
Of course, what Fei Qian considered was not simply "mental arithmetic", but the new hierarchy of the Han Dynasty, replacing the original decadent and chaotic civil servant system, allowing more people to participate in the Dahan Online's experience and monster-brushing activities...
In Guanzhong, in Sichuan and Shu, some smart gentry and gentry had already realized these problems. They tried to transform themselves from the traditional way of encroaching on land and population to transform into a new business model with Fei Qian. However, there are still many people who have not been able to adapt to new changes, or do not want any new changes.
In this process of change, or in other words, repetition and pain are naturally inevitable.
Wu Yi also realized that what Fei Qian needed was not the kind of local gentry who stared at the land and population, but he obviously had no way to go on the transformation from the manor to the mine owner like the Sima family. He needed motivation. Even Wu Yi was not the kind of person who was full of super decisiveness and super high execution ability, so he was stimulated by the Wu Ban's affairs, and then took a big step forward, and began to hesitate again and pretended to be injured.
This kind of anxiety about gains and losses at any time and anywhere has been bothering Wu Yi in the past few days until Lei Tong came to visit him.
Lei Tong had no worries at all and smashed the door with a bang.
For Lei Tong, Mu Qiang is his only standard.
As long as the master is strong, he will kneel down and lick anywhere, but if he finds his master weak...
Now Fei Qian is strong enough, and Xu Shu is also smart enough, so Lei Tong is naturally so obedient that his tail can shake like a helicopter.
"Wu is engaged. No matter whether your injury is healed or not, you have to work now."
Lei Tong said straight to the point and smiled.
Wu Yi pondered silently. He knew what he should do, but his weakness broke out again for a moment. Perhaps he felt that Lei Tong's identity was still lower. If Fa Zheng came to the door and asked him to take action, maybe it would be better?
Lei Tong smiled and stared at Wu Yi's home appliances. He stroked the fox fur hood on the handrail where Yi sat, and praised him: "Wu Shi really knows how to enjoy it... This pattern is so beautiful! When the weather is cold, I won't be so cold that my hands are trembling... I can still take it off in summer, it's really...
『…』 Wu Yi waved his hand helplessly, "Come here, follow this one and prepare a set for Captain Lei..."
"Yo! How can you be so embarrassed?" Lei Tong pretended to shirk a moment, and then immediately thanked him, "Then I will thank Wu for his kindness! Thank you, thank you!"
Normally, if Lei Tong takes things and gets the benefits, he should get up and say goodbye. Then, even if Wu Yi spends money to delay for a few days, Lei Tong is not an ordinary person.
Lei Tong stared at Wu Yi's copper stove for heating in the living room again.
On the surface, Lei Tong seems to be stupid, but in fact, Lei Tong knows in his heart that he and Wu Yi are not the same type of people, and it is impossible to go together. Being able to enter the house this time does not mean that he can still come in so easily next time when he comes, so it is beneficial, why should you let it go easily?
Besides, the copper stove in Wu Yi’s home is indeed very beautiful. This utensil designed specifically for heating in wealthy families in the cold winter is indeed different from the ordinary copper stove brazier. It is not only in pattern carving, but also specially designed to place sandalwood or other spices...
"Wow, this copper stove is really exquisitely designed!" Lei Tong was shocked, "There is also a platter for incense, which can be added at any time... Oh, it's really... Uh? Wu, what are you doing?"
Wu Yi had already stood up and walked to the door of the hall, "Let's go! If I don't leave, I'm worried that this house will be taken by Captain Lei..."
