At the most central location above the central square of Daqin Xinzheng County, many melon-eating people gathered at the moment. Today is the oath-taking meeting that takes place once a month.

Xinzheng County is the new name of the Korean capital after it became the territory of the Qin State. The Central Square is the core of the place. In the center of the square is a flag-raising platform. On it is a black flag embroidered with a golden dragon and flowing water.

The common people call it the Black Water Dragon Flag. Some people say that the golden dragon symbolizes the king, the cloud patterns symbolize the civil and military officials, the flowing water symbolizes the people of Qin, and the background represents the countless barbarians of Qin.

.

This explanation spread out somehow, and many Korean people felt relieved after knowing this legend.

This is the Warring States Period, a time of great strife.

This is an era where wars that overwhelm a country often occur. In this era, once a war overturns a country occurs, not to mention all the strong men, they will be conscripted into the army.

Strong dressers among women, that is, strong women, also have to perform military service, but they do not need to go to the battlefield, but it is still very common to do logistics work.

In the Battle of Changping between Qin and Zhao just a few decades ago, the Qin State conscripted an army of 800,000 people. As long as those in the rear were still alive, they had to serve as corvees, obey the arrangements of the empire, and make their own contributions to the Battle of Changping.

But now that the Qin State has occupied South Korea, it has not robbed everyone (ordinary people) of their wealth, nor has it robbed the local women of South Korea. This is too strange.

The imperial court was suddenly frightened by such good people. It seemed that the imperial court was holding back some bad tricks and wanted to make a big one at once.

When the countrymen and barbarians system was promulgated, the common people breathed a sigh of relief. When the Black Water Dragon Flag was raised and lowered every day, the common people felt more at ease.

While feeling relieved, I couldn't help but compare my life before and now.

In the past four years, everyone has simply lived in hell. A population of 2.7 million supports an army of 400,000. If this is not hell, then what is hell?

Feeling the envious looks of others, Zhang Liang's father Zhang Ping stood in front of the flag-raising platform with many acquaintances, facing the Black Water Dragon Flag and facing Ying Zheng's portrait and began to swear an oath.

"I swear to voluntarily join the empire and become a member of the empire, and strive for the advancement of the empire... The oath-giver is Zhang Ping!"

"This is Chinese!"

"Can they become officials?"

"They can always live in the city!"

"A Chinese, I want to be a Chinese too!"

After the swearing-in ceremony, every Chinese citizen became an official. Even the worst ones were ninth-rank officials. As for Zhang Ping, he directly became a sixth-rank officer. At this moment, he is the commander-in-chief of Xinzheng County!

With this big shot like him taking the initiative to cooperate, the rest went much more smoothly. In just half a month, more than 100,000 people bought imperial examination textbooks and literacy books.

Of course, this is also because today's books are sold at cost prices which are relatively cheap, otherwise others would be powerless if they wanted to.

But even so, many people are illiterate, but they just heard that books are cheap, so they gritted their teeth and bought one like this as a family heirloom.

Half a month later, the great purge began.

The army was dispatched, inspecting one village after another, and working with the village chiefs who had already taken root at the grassroots level, a severe crackdown was carried out. In name, it was to eliminate the rangers and other lawless people, but in fact it was aimed at those who neither followed the empire nor were willing to go to South Korea properly.

The twenty-five young men who serve as loyal ministers in the fiefdom.

After a great purge, more than a thousand people were killed on the spot, tens of thousands were sent to labor camps, and a lot of wealth was confiscated. However, this money was not valued by the empire. The most important thing to the empire was the confiscated land.

Everything is in accordance with Qin law.

First of all, those who did not surrender in advance could only retain 1% of their property. Taking advantage of this opportunity, all their fields were confiscated. Even if there was some land left, they would be forcibly redeemed by the court at the local price.

Secondly, those who had colluded with the Qin army in advance and secretly surrendered could retain one-tenth of their property. The court still forced redemption, but the price was twice the local price.

The imperial court paid double the price for the purchase. In this period when Korea had just been destroyed, who dared to directly say no to the imperial court? Aren't you afraid that the Legalist officials of the Qin Dynasty would backhand you and plant the spoils of a rebel thief?

Even if he is not a rebel, he is still a troublemaker!

Diao Min, whose name was remembered by the court, what do you want to do about the future?

Only those internal agents who surrendered voluntarily and made contributions in the war to destroy Korea could retain all their property, but even their land limit was only 10,000 acres.

Because this is the bottom line of the court, Da Qin law stipulates that regardless of status, the upper limit of land ownership is 10,000 acres!

The extra land will still be forcibly redeemed by the imperial court, and the price will be three times the price, which can be regarded as the imperial court's reward for loyal ministers.

As for whether there is enough money, Ying Zheng has never worried about it!

With a map of modern time and space, Daqin has no shortage of mineral locations.

With the black technology of Gongshujia and Mo family, Daqin is also not lacking in mining technology. Even the two of them have developed automatic mining robots.

Although Ying Zheng doesn’t know exactly what technology and power those automatic mining robots use, it just works!

Copper mines are money these days!

If there is no shortage of minerals, there will be no shortage of money!

Moreover, the money redeemed is the latest coin minted by the Shaofu. It has a beautiful appearance and superb technology, and contains as much as 70% copper, which is very conscientious.

As for those young men, it's really miserable. After being discovered, having their homes ransacked is just standard treatment!

The nobles were put to death!

Death for literacy!

Punishment for practicing martial arts!

The rest were reduced to slaves, and what awaited them was a life in the mines that lasted for ten years or even a lifetime.

In the study, Ying Zheng looked into the distance and listened to Wei Liaozi's report.

"Now Korea has been initially controlled, and household registration has been completed. It is divided into five counties, sixty-eight counties, and 572 townships. The largest Xinzheng County has a population of 1.5 million, and the smallest has six

Population of 100,000.”

"More than 80% of the township chiefs have served as deputy township chiefs in Qin for several years. They have enough work experience. After a few months of running in, the empire has truly taken control of South Korea."

"So far, the total population of South Korea is 5.32 million, including 200,000 Chinese, 5 million savages, and 120,000 slaves. Among the 200,000 people, 100,000 were immigrants from our country, the Qin Dynasty.

"

"Overall, the number of Chinese people is still too small. However, considering their learning speed, it is expected that the total number of Chinese people will increase to about 400,000 by this time next year."

There are 400,000 local people and 100,000 Qin people, which is 500,000 people. With 500,000 people ruling 5 million barbarians, it is possible to establish effective rule.

This kind of governance efficiency is even stronger than that of most countries in history!
