Da Qin: Me! the Unparalleled Prince, Guarding the Great Wall for 18 Years

He Ying Changying thought that why did the common people call them violent Qin in private?

It is because the burden is too heavy.

The burden of the common people in the Qin Dynasty usually consisted of two parts.

One is Fu, that is, to pay taxes to the government, which may be in kind or money.

The other type of servitude is the obligatory May [-] to perform various servitude for the government.

There are roughly three types of Fu in the Qin Dynasty.

The first is rent, which is the regular collection of grain and fodder according to the size of the land.

Fu, temporary apportionment of the property to be levied.

Taxes, money levied on commodities, such as salt, iron, etc.

Among them, there are two categories under the rent, namely, grain and glutinous rice, not to mention the grain, while the glutinous rice refers to the hay and straw, which are the food of the livestock.

Someone in later generations said with emotion that the taxes levied by the Qin Dynasty were thirty times more than in ancient times, which shows that it is heavy.

In Nei Sten's view, what Ying Changying said was taken from the people was nothing more than levying taxes under various pretexts.

At that time, will the people of Daqin still have a way to live?

Nei Sten could see this, and none of the Daqin officials present were mediocre.

Naturally, it can be understood.

For a while, the look in Ying Changying's eyes became a little strange.

I thought that Ying Zheng was already the pinnacle of tyrannical expeditions, but I never imagined that Ying Changying was born out of blue.

In the crowd, Zhao Gao and Hu Hai looked at each other and were overjoyed.

This Ying Changying is really enough to die.

Relying on the first emperor's favor, he dared to say anything.

Really inflated to the point of death!

Even Ying Zheng's eyes changed at this time, and his gaze towards Ying Changying carried a hint of scrutiny.

As the emperor of the Great Qin Empire, he knew the taxes of the Qin Dynasty better than anyone else.

In addition to the basic tax, there are various "fu" names that appear from time to time.

What's more, Ying Zheng often carried out large-scale construction projects, and various large-scale projects were carried out at the same time.

The labor is even more heavy.

"Seventh Young Master, please forgive me, I don't agree with you!"

Nei Sten shook his head secretly in his heart, and his perception of Ying Changying couldn't help being a little worse.

Ying Changying looked around for a week, knowing that the ministers disapproved.

This is the limitation of the times.

When it comes to taking it from the people, I think of increasing taxes.

It can't be said that their eyelids are too shallow, but today's society is far from developed to that point.

Ying Changying said sternly: "My lord, what this young master said before did not imply that more taxes should be levied. This is the way to bring disaster. As a great Qin clan, this young master will naturally not do such a thing of self-destructing the city wall."

"My son believes that instead of throttling, it is better to imagine how to open source."

Hearing this sentence, everyone was puzzled again.

Looking at Ying Changying's eyes in surprise, it was beyond their expectations to be able to say these words.

Did they miss it?

But what about open source?

Ying Changying continued: "Everyone, this young master still remembers that since this dynasty, no one has paid attention to prices, and it is enough for the people to be self-sufficient. In addition, I have built the Daqin Chi Road all over the country, and the traffic is smooth, because The price fluctuations have not been much.”

"Of course, that's a good thing, but it's also a bad thing."

"bad thing?"

Nei Sten frowned when he heard the words. Stabilizing prices was his proudest achievement.

What about bad things?

At this time, Ying Zheng's eyes also changed from scrutiny to faint doubts, wanting to hear what Ying Changying has unique insights.

"If my son remembers correctly, since the founding of China, the price of rice has never changed, and the price of rice has never changed. The people have long been used to this situation."

"In fact, this is actually a hidden danger. The demand of the people has decreased, and the stock of currency is far less than the needs of economic exchange."

"The result is that the economy is stagnant, unchanged for years."

If someone counts the GDP of the Qin Dynasty at this time, I am afraid that the conclusion is a straight line.

Even a slash with an arrow pointing down.

Without the means to stimulate economic growth, how can we talk about enriching the people?
