Chapter 541 Is it so good?
"Brothers, kill me!"

Liu Ji swung the spear in his hand, and a group of soldiers followed him and rushed forward.

The Qin soldiers defending the city were still prepared to fight to the death, but they had no ability to resist at all!
There was no way. They had not had a drop of water since morning until now. Maybe for people in later generations, being hungry for half a day would have no effect at all, but for these soldiers wielding weapons, the little food they had last night had long been digested, and now they couldn't even wield the weapons in their hands!

In fact, the Qin army was not without food. According to Qin law, every city must have at least enough surplus food to supply the entire city's population for more than half a year. This city originally had tens of thousands of dan of food and fodder, enough to feed these soldiers for a year!

But!
When the Tang army began to attack the city, the soldiers who went to the granary to get food died inexplicably on the way, and the soldiers responsible for collecting baggage were hit to death by dung forks, shoulder poles and rocks that suddenly attacked before they even walked out of the alley.

Under normal circumstances, these untouchables would naturally not dare to disobey Qin's laws. After all, even if they wanted to go to the border to eat some porridge, their entire family would be executed, not to mention killing the soldiers who transported grain.

But now, isn’t it the Tang army that is attacking?

The number of Qin soldiers stationed in each city was actually limited. Normally, these soldiers could easily kill all those unruly people who dared to rebel and usurp the throne. But now they were already overwhelmed just by resisting the attack of the Tang army. How could they have extra manpower to encircle and suppress the rebellion?
The Qin army, which had no food to eat, quickly sent more people to get food, but they were intercepted and killed halfway. By the time the officers defending the city learned that those unruly people had dared to rebel, it was too late!
After all, the people's hearts are worthless if you say they are useless. The Qin State has been governed for more than a hundred years relying on the strict Qin laws. If these unruly people dare to resist, they will be killed directly without any nonsense.

But are you saying it's really useless?
Anyway, it seems to be of some use now!

When Liu Ji climbed up the city wall, he thought there would be a bloody battle, but who would have thought that after he killed this group of Qin soldiers, the whole city suddenly seemed to come alive.

A group of men, women, old and young, all rushed out from all corners of the city holding carrying poles, wooden sticks and other things, and began to chase and kill the scattered Qin soldiers who were originally prepared to fight to the end.

Good guy!
Liu Ji said that he had never seen such a scene in his life.

Among the people of the seven countries, except for Tang, where almost everyone had a prosperous year because of the Tang King's lavish spending, many people in the other six countries would starve to death or freeze to death every winter.

This is also the reason why those refugees from Wei and Chu surrendered and rebelled in an organized manner, because everyone fought each other just to make a living!

On the Qin side, the starving people who wanted to go out to get a meal not only didn't get enough to eat, but also implicated their entire family and even their neighbors.

It seems that such harsh laws and punishments have indeed tamed the people into submissive slaves, but the premise of such high-pressure rule is that the ruling class must never show signs of fatigue.

Qin Shihuang was so powerful when he unified the world, but from the uprising of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang to the demise of the Qin Dynasty, it took less than three years, setting a record for the fastest demise of a dynasty in all dynasties!

Moreover, even the Qing Dynasty, which is always criticized, or the Jin Dynasty, which is not even mentioned in history books, had a bunch of old people trying to restore or mourn after their demise. However, there was not even one person to commemorate the Qin Dynasty, which swept across the world.

Therefore, from the historical perspective of thousands of years later, the Qin Dynasty definitely laid the foundation for the Chinese nation and is absolutely worthy of being placed on a monument and worshipped!
But if you become a person of this era, then the tyrannical Qin Dynasty will definitely be defeated!

"Captain Liu, what should we do now?" Looking at the civilians who were chasing Qin soldiers, a group of soldiers asked Liu Ji.

Liu Ji spent more than a month learning the simplest Tang Dynasty writing skills. He was originally planning to take an examination to become a county magistrate. However, who would have thought that when he had just arrived in Luoyang with his little brother Lu Wan, he learned that the King of Tang was sending troops to attack the State of Qin, so he ran over to join the army!
It is true that as an intellectual he could choose to be a civil servant like a county magistrate, but Liu Ji felt that since he had already made it in the society, he should become a high-ranking official, right?

The upgrade of civil officials is too slow, but the upgrade of military generals is much faster!
He was tall and good at fighting, and he could also read and write, so he was directly recruited as a captain and led 500 soldiers to attack the small town.

There is no other way. The Tang Kingdom is now in a state of disrepair. As long as you are bold and hardworking, you can quickly succeed. As the saying goes, if you stand in the right place, even a pig can fly!

"What else can we do? Follow the rules! Go and take out all the food and cloth from the warehouse, and then start distributing money!"

At this time, the residents in the city also stopped retaliating against the Qin soldiers. The main reason why these civilians dared to rush out for revenge was because they were filled with passion. This winter, everyone had a hard time. Even many people's relatives and friends were killed by the Qin soldiers. Due to the harshness of Qin law, they didn't even dare to collect the bodies. So now that they learned that someone was coming to attack, it was natural that the anger in their bodies was ignited.

But now, after killing the remaining Qin soldiers, they could not help but fall into confusion.

According to the rules of war at that time, would the officials start to plunder them? Either they would be forced to do corvée or they would have to pay money?

Before the residents could figure out what was going on, they saw a group of Tang soldiers rushing into the treasury and pushing out carts full of mountains of grain and cloth!
Don't be surprised. Although hundreds of people starved to death or froze to death in this small town this winter, the treasury actually stored enough food to feed three thousand people for half a year.

Originally, these civilians were a little nervous when they killed those Qin soldiers, but now when they saw these things, they just felt that they acted too late.

"Listen up, fellow citizens of Piltover. These grains and cloths were taken from you by the tyrannical Qin. On behalf of the Tang Emperor, I now declare that everyone has a share. Line up and come and claim them!"

Liu Bang took out a large tin loudspeaker and started shouting.

Originally, Li Qingyuan was going to let the Mohist school make trumpets, but he gave up the idea after discovering that those senior disciples of the Mohist school could only make two at most a day.

What is Industrial Cthulhu and what is domestic demand crushing?

In fact, it’s not that those old powers are unable to manufacture industrial products. The main thing is that the cost of the products they produce is several times more expensive than the finished products dumped by a certain country!
Distribute food?
Really?

Originally, these residents only regarded the story of the Tang Dynasty distributing porridge and money as a myth. Moreover, Qin law strictly prohibited more than four people from talking together, so many people did not know about this incident.

And now?

When everyone was happily rushing back carrying food, everyone finally understood that they would actually have a good day one day.
