Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 70 Rich! (seeking a monthly ticket)

"The emperor is kind enough to kill these criminals and bury them on the spot."

"One tomb for each person is really cheap for them."

"How can there be a tomb, just a pit, buried in it and filled up, what 'sorrow' are worthy of these criminals?!"

"."

Listen to the whispers around you.

Ji Heng's eyes moved slightly. After Shang Yang's reform, the life, old age, sickness and death of Qin people were all under the laws of Qin.

Only those who have titles can enjoy 'glory' after death.

"Book of Shang Jun" stipulates that after the death of a handyman who cannot participate in the war, "Xiao Fu" (Zan Niao), a tree can be planted on the tomb. From this level until the doctor, one more tree can be planted at each level Trees, this kind of 'sorrow' is extraordinarily glorious to common people.

Like Wu Anjun Baiqi, his mausoleum is comparable to a park for later generations.

However, those whose titles are below the hairpin can only have a small earthen bag and a stone tablet, while the public servants only have a small earthen bag.

As for those without a title, they are not qualified to set up a tomb.

Just dig a hole and bury it.

This set of honor and inferiority, noble rank, and rank are each named after the difference between the field and the house, and the clothes of the courtiers and concubines are named after the family.The rule that those who have merit will be honored, and those who have no merit will be rich but have nothing to do is established since Shang Yang's reform.

Daqin divided 'expensive' and 'rich' very widely.

And this has gradually become the division between the nobles and the powerful in the future.

Only those with a title can enjoy the glory that ordinary people cannot get, and those without a title, no matter how rich they are, cannot be distinguished.

Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty also made a decree that "the Jia people are not allowed to ride in the car with silk, and the tax is heavy to embarrass them."

Follow this rule.

Hearing the whispers from all around, many alchemists and Confucian scholars turned pale, clenched their teeth and did not speak, and lowered their heads in embarrassment, looking extremely sad and desperate.

But mixed with monstrous grief and indignation.

They were naturally very dissatisfied with Daqin's set of rules.

They are alchemists, Confucian scholars, and nobles. They are all people with dignity and status. How can they be the same as the lowly heads of Guizhou, officials, and slaves after death?

There were Confucian scholars all around, shouting a few words loudly, "The world has suffered from Qin for a long time", "Everyone who has raped Qin will be punished", and "The Great Qin is self-destructing from civilization and self-extinct from the law of nature".

However, it did not cause much movement around.

Only a bunch of spittle was attracted.

Ji Heng stood at the end of the queue, and his pace was not fast.

He heard someone in the crowd ask what crime they had committed.

Some people said that they committed rebellion, and others said that they made false comments on the government and slandered the Qin government, but these answers all attracted unanimous approval from all around, and the onlookers on the road all thought that they should be killed.

Hearing the scolding, scolding, and humiliation around him, Ji Heng frowned slightly, with a hint of relief in his eyes.

He had a sense of guilt.

In fact, he was supposed to do something for the world, to make some changes, but in the end he chose to retreat, and chose to be silent. Now, hearing the deafening scolding in his ears, he felt a rare sense of peace in his heart.

It seems to have been appeased.

He raised his head.

He looked at Xianyang Palace from afar.

Faintly, he seemed to meet a pair of indifferent eyes.

This figure is like a cold sword, always shining with a cold light, until it breaks, it will never lose its light, and it will never stop moving forward.

He just stood there.

Looking down at Ji Heng coldly, with a bit of mockery in his eyes, he seemed to say to Ji Heng: "Did you see, this is the bottom layer you value."

"Forever this stupid and always this indignant."

"They will not take the initiative to seek change. Only power can make them make changes."

"You were wrong!"

Ji Heng was silent.

He looked at the Qin people who cursed him, and finally shook his head.

is it wrong?
He never thought so.

Since ancient times, the people of China have been called the most stupid by the rulers.

Because they are the best at cheating.

Just by giving some small favors, they can easily change their direction, or even take the initiative to betray. This situation has been happening from ancient times to the present, and will continue to appear, no matter how the world changes, no matter whether someone is talking about hype, or saying Very reasonable, the people at the bottom are still so 'stupid'.

But he no longer approves of this.

After ten lives, he has scolded the lower class angrily, and also approved the foolishness of the people.

The people have always been the stupidest, but the truth is the hardest to deceive.

The people at the bottom don't think so much, they don't care what the law becomes, and they don't care whether the monarch is talented or not. The only thing they care about is whether the life is getting better every day under the leadership of the top, and whether they are paying more labor. , will reap more money and food.

If not.

As long as there are better options around them, they will resolutely choose to abandon them.

This is human nature.

The most simple but most indifferent human nature.

If it is not for the people, it will eventually be abandoned by the people.

The reason why the Great Qin was able to sweep Liuhe was indeed due to Shang Yang's reforms, but more accurately, the people of Qin worked hard for the Qin State, so they could really make a fortune.

This is the real reason.

It's not that Shang Yang calculated human nature.

But Shang Yang's law can only strengthen the country, not govern the country.

Follow the old path, doomed to trouble.

Ji Heng looked back slowly, their queue had already walked out of the city, and the noise around them had also become much quieter.

"Taking land as a matter of Qin, you still hold the salary to put out the fire. If the salary is not exhausted, the fire will not be extinguished!"

"I am not wrong."

"I just haven't done it!"

Ji Heng clenched his fist secretly, and finally let go of his clenched fist, leaving behind a dull sigh.

The queue of more than [-] people turned into a long ocher dragon at this time, marching towards the grassy beach of Weishui River. They were not walking fast, but there was still a long time before the noon of the execution, so the accompanying jailers were not in a hurry Urge.

However, crying and howling gradually came from the queue.

On the verge of death, someone finally couldn't hold on, and his mind collapsed.

They were scolded by the people of Qin and castigated by the Quartet. They were only angry, but they didn't really collapse. Now they left the crowd of onlookers and walked straight on the wide avenue, but they couldn't restrain the fear and fear in their hearts anymore. Cry out loud directly.

Ji Heng looked at the Confucian scholars beside him, and shook his head quite speechlessly.

Being cynical and scolding the world and the world in prison, he was really going to die in the end, but he was suddenly afraid.

It's a bit ridiculous.

However, even if the alchemists and Confucian scholars cried and cried, they couldn't stop the queue. Before noon, they were still taken to the execution ground after all.

On both sides of the hillside, the crowd of onlookers who had been waiting for a long time looked at the large group of prisoners with disheveled clothes and haggard faces, but they seemed unusually quiet.

At this time.

On the earthen platform built at an unknown time, two rows of horns sounded in unison.

A whimper resounded through the grassy beach.

It's noon!

Ji Heng stood in front of a pit and slowly closed his eyes.

He just felt relieved.

He even wanted to take the initiative to jump into the pit and end this bleak life early.

The world is too bitter, next life
　It's May soon, please ask for the next monthly pass in advance.
