"So! Reform is never about you, me, and everyone. It always sacrifices the interests of some people, and it requires blood and sacrifice." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with deep eyes and continued, "Then again

A series of reforms such as the land system, the county system, and the weights and measures system were implemented to build the Qin State into a new type of country that was highly centralized from top to bottom, allowing the court to control a large amount of land resources. Then a universal land granting system was implemented across the country, and land granting was granted on a household basis.

For each hectare of land, taxes and corvee arrangements were collected on a household-by-household basis. On this basis, a universal conscription system was implemented, and all officials and civilians, regardless of rank or rank, performed military service."

"Ah! This is so familiar. In the Qin Dynasty, the land was divided among the households. One hectare was one hundred acres." Jiang Shuisheng said in surprise, "If you have more children, you can divide the land more."

"Yes! Population is an important strategic resource. You can't accomplish anything without people." Lin Nanzheng looked at them with his deep phoenix eyes and said, "Although it is not appropriate to say this, this is what Yi Di did. They killed all the men.

, all the women were kidnapped.”

"It's just to let them have children." Chen Zhongyuan said with a dark face, "It's so hateful."

Hong Lianshuo looked at them with his dark eyes and said, "The land grant system is the basis of the military merit and title system. Without the universal land grant system, the people in the imperial household would not be able to make a living and would have to rely on high-ranking officials and nobles for a living. So the household taxation system

The universal conscription system that raises troops through taxes will fall apart. Only when all classes join the army and fight can they be assessed according to a unified standard of military merit, and use military merit as the only basis for rewards and punishments."

"That's it. As for the land distribution system, the old nobles of the six countries can't stand it." Chen Zhongyuan chuckled and shook his head repeatedly. "Land is the lifeblood. If you dare to touch it, I will fight you to the death."

Hong Lianshuo looked at him with a smile in his eyes and said, "You have seen the essence. Land is the root and the six countries cannot copy it. The bureaucracy, county system, universal conscription system, land grant system, and military merit incentives commonly adopted by the six countries are also

It has always been the case, but in their land policies they all implement the principle of giving priority to satisfying the powerful, and cannot support the implementation of the military merit system." After a pause, he continued, "Compared to the Qin State, which had a thorough reform, the Six Kingdoms' court

Most of the civil and military officials above were from noble families. The aristocratic ministers of various countries owned a large amount of land, and it was difficult to ensure that the common people were granted enough land, and it was impossible to establish a multi-level military merit and title system based on the universal land grant system. Shang Yang's land policy gave priority to ensuring that the common people were granted land.

Land, military merit and land also increased step by step, and starting from the ninth level, the fifth official no longer easily increased the land property, and began to grant a number of tax towns instead." He smiled slightly and said, "So the difference in land policies led to the agricultural differences between the Six Kingdoms and the Qin Kingdom.

The gap between the war foundations became wider and wider, and finally Qin Shihuang wiped out Liuhe."

"In the end, the essence of the problem is the lifeblood - land." Jiang Shuisheng said with emotion.

"Why don't we call them landlords!" Lin Nanzheng glanced at them and said, "The amount of land is a symbol of wealth."

"That's half right. The most important thing is people, because people cultivate the land. Without people, no matter how much land you have, there will be no one to cultivate it." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with a black face and said.

"No wonder they are trying their best to turn landless farmers into landless farmers so that they can work as tenant farmers for the landlords." Jiang Shuisheng snorted coldly after hearing this.

"That's right!" Hong Lianshuo looked at them with a smile on his face and said, "Any more questions?"

"No, no." They all shook their heads.

"Then I have a question to ask. Have you read the laws of the previous dynasty?" Hong Lianshuo said, his eyes falling on Han Qinhu and Lin Nanzheng.

"No, I really don't know if I look at it. I'm shocked when I see it, there are so many laws." Lin Nanzheng looked at her with a wry smile and said, "I will never say that Qin has too many laws again."

"It doesn't matter, take your time." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with bright eyes and said, suddenly he remembered, "Shall we celebrate the New Year?"

"Can we celebrate the New Year?" Han Qinhu looked at her in surprise and said.

"Why can't we celebrate?" Hong Lianshuo looked at him with raised eyebrows and said, "If you want to celebrate, please invite people from the city to come over. Let's celebrate the 30th together with lights and colors and make dumplings. There are so many people!"

"What are dumplings?" Chen Zhongyuan looked at her and asked while sipping his saliva.

"Just mince the pork into puree, mix it with the leeks we grew to make stuffing, then knead the dough, pull it into a dough, roll it into a round piece as big as the palm of your hand, put the stuffing in, wrap it up, and knead it until it is firm.

After the water boils, just put it in and cook it." Hong Lianshuo gestured with his hands and said, "Our dozen or so pigs are not small, so we will kill them during the Chinese New Year."

One after another, we caught some more piglets and raised them. The cooks worked diligently to feed them during the day and add extra meals at night.

Especially the slaughtered seafood, the fish heads, and the 'water' are boiled and fed directly to the pigs.

The horse does not gain weight without the night grass, so the piglet swelled up like a balloon. Now a pig weighs more than 100 pounds.

Just in time to kill the New Year pig!

"This is not enough!" Lin Nanzheng smacked his lips and said, "These dumplings sound good!"

"Everything can be stuffed, including game and dried fish." Hong Lianshuo said with a beaming eyebrow.

"No wonder you asked me to grow leeks! It turns out I'm waiting here!" Han Qinhu laughed when he heard this, "The leeks will grow in bunches during the Chinese New Year, and they will be fresh and tender when eaten."

"Haha..." Hong Lianshuo looked at them happily.

"You really don't let go of any soil. You put the soil in the basket and plant vegetables." Lin Nanzheng said with phoenix eyes looking at her with a smile as bright as a flower.

"That's right! If there are no conditions, you have to create conditions." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with pure eyes and said with a smile, "Besides, it's not difficult, it's just a matter of rubbing against the temperature of the kitchen."

"Look how relaxed you are, why didn't I think of that!" Chen Zhongyuan scratched his head and stared at her.

"See more, listen more, and think more." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with bright eyes and said seriously.

Chen Zhongyuan scratched his head and looked at her, "I've been looking at her for a long time! Why can't I think like you?"

"Ms. Hong only wants to make people rich." Han Qinhu looked at them with tenderness and said, "You really think you are eating for yourself!"

"Ah!" Chen Zhongyuan looked at her in astonishment and said, "Exchange this for money?"

"What do you think?" Han Qinhu looked at him angrily and said, looking at them calmly, "It's not difficult, you can do it at a glance. It's winter! Can ordinary people eat green leafy vegetables?"

"

"Throughout the winter and spring, there is no shortage of food. You can eat it anywhere." Chen Zhongyuan said immediately after hearing this.

"So! Can I exchange money?" Han Qinhu looked at them with a smile on his lips and said. "I can exchange them one by one without any trouble."
