There are not many slaves in the Han country. Some private slaves cannot be counted. It is roughly estimated to be about two to three million, but the official number of slaves is as many as 2.67 million.

The composition of these 2.67 million slaves is very complicated. Most of those who have been slaves for several years are those prisoners of war who surrendered during the restoration of the Central Plains by the Han army. The majority of them are Qiang, Di and Zahu, with a total number of 600,000. People around. The remaining more than two million are the appendages of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla who were destroyed by the Han army. From the king to the common people of the Three Kingdoms, all of them became slaves except for some women who were married by Han Jia Erlang.

To be honest, females of school age from Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla are a big help to Liu Yan. The war has killed too many non-young and strong groups. The elderly and children are the priority groups in the war. Women are in the war. Survival is not easy. For a long time in Han, the number of married-age men and women is more than five to one. Although there are more than one hundred thousand women of the right age in the Three Kingdoms, although they have not been able to completely resolve the gap between men and women, they can at least allow the many meritorious soldiers (singles) of the military to have wives who inherit incense.

There is still a big gap in the ratio of men to women in Han, and some of them are bachelors who cannot find a daughter-in-law. Because the Han country attaches great importance to the relationship between military merit and knighthood, families with girls of school age will not only engage in marriage swaps... For example, if the daughter of a certain family marries to that family, that family must also have the ability to adapt. If a woman can marry a man of the family, she will look for it. Those who have titles are followed by those who are in the standing army.

In some ways, which group women value... For example, modern people give priority to marrying civil servants, or they must have a car, a house, and a deposit. Then men will prepare for that and form a kind of society. trend. In Han, the trend of women is to increase people's desire to join the army infinitely, but it is too difficult to squeeze in.

"Whether I can be recruited as a county soldier is a matter of my life."

"Who is not like this?"

For most people, it is very difficult to become a soldier after the establishment of the military field corps. Chi (1.71 meter), I and my family members have no criminal record.

Seven feet tall is not a problem for many Han people...especially the Han people in the north. The average height in the north has always been higher than seven feet, and eight-foot strong men abound. As for criminal records, the government looks at the records after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, and it doesn’t really matter what they did before.

The biggest reason why it is difficult to join the field corps is that the standing army does not directly recruit from the civilian population at all, but instead selects the best from a large number of county soldiers. Therefore, if you want to become a member of the standing army, you have to be conscripted into a county soldier and perform well after becoming a county soldier.

The so-called good performance is really not well defined. Dedicating to one's duties is just a basis. Being able to become an affiliated army of a certain battle and gaining some gains in that battle will greatly increase the chances of joining the standing army.

There are only 13 standing armies in the country. One standing army has 15,000 people. There are no more than 200,000 people who can serve as professional soldiers. How much is one?

Men of the right age in Han have the opportunity to become soldiers of counties and counties when they are serving in military service. The difference is that they perform military service locally or go to other places. If in the pre-Qin or pre-Han, the people would be afraid to go to other places to perform military service, especially military service, but in the current Han country, it is completely reversed. Everyone hopes to go farther away from home. The subsidy is one aspect. , The most important thing is that it may be temporarily transferred to a certain battlefield.

"My eldest brother served in the military, but he went to the land of Jingchu."

People who heard that were all feeling tragedy for the elder brother of a dear friend. The land of Jingchu was not a frontier, especially the land reclamation was being carried out. After that, he was a farmer.

They can't think about it. The soldiers of the standing army usually don't return to their hometowns when they retired. Many of them are placed on the spot. They are also very few people who are assigned to their hometowns. Maybe it is also good to settle down in the land of Jingchu.

To put it bluntly, after becoming a county soldier, at least there will be land distribution. With land, it means that they are not proletarians. In terms of marriage, having a productive life is the foundation. No parents in the world would like to watch their daughters suffer along with others, right? It’s not even the reason for suffering. It’s not about how to be rich. A man must at least be able to support himself and his wife and children, and his parents and even his wife’s parents must also be able to take care of them. Otherwise, where do you start a family? ?

The care of both parents is not nonsense. Today is not an only-child society, has it been through wars? Many men and women of the right age for marriage are single seedlings, and even a single seedling has more than one family waiting for the elderly. It is not only the pressure from the south. In fact, the pressure of men and women is as heavy as Mount Tai. , Can't afford to die... Thought you were joking?

"Difficult! Too difficult!"

The sighing man looked very old, but Sanshi was only twenty-four years old. Not only was he old, but he was also thinner. The hair was not tied with a linoleum towel, but was fixed with a branch of a tree.

The Han country, which has just completed the expulsion of Hulu, didn't pay much attention to domestic construction before, and the people generally just starved to death but couldn't get rich.

Ordinary people do not have their own land, they will lease it from the government, and they can keep 40% of the output, and the rest will be owned by the government. If they are more diligent and can do some odd jobs in summer and winter, it is because they are illiterate and unskilled, coupled with the fact that they are part-time workers, the salary is really not good.

Of course, the 40% tax seems to be very high, but it is by no means the most excessive. For example, the princes of the late Han Dynasty did two taxes and one tax. When the Hu Hu ruled the Central Plains, the Han people did not even have their own property. This is especially true during the period when the Jie clan ruled. During the period when the Jie tribe ruled the Central Plains, the law clearly stated that the Hu people were not guilty of robbing the Han people.

In the Qin Empire, the tax rate was one tax, and in the Western Han Dynasty after Emperor Xiaowen of the Han Dynasty, the tax rate was one tax.

After the death of the Qin Empire, including the reign of the First Emperor, not to mention that the corvee system has actually been messed up. In addition to ten taxes and one tax, there are many exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, especially during the reign of Hu Hai.

From the Western Han Dynasty to the Emperor Xiaojing of the Han Dynasty, in addition to the thirty-one tax, there were also excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, especially when the Emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty was even more chaotic. The so-called "pre-Han always 30 taxes and one tax" is just the motherland policy unchanged in the general direction.

People who do not have their own land in Han are charged 60% of the tax on official land, but there is no exorbitant tax. This is the most important point for the common people. Otherwise, what is the tax amount set by the state, and there is no other way to collect money in addition to the "national tax".

"It's enough to have food and clothes on the body."

Sanshi is not talking about how beautiful his life is. The "lu" he refers to is actually the coarse grains that are replaced after the farming has yielded, and he can wear a whole body of clothes. Compared with the misery under the rule of Hulu before the establishment of Han, it is already Feeling satisfied.

Nowadays, the main crops in the north are millet and wheat, but millet is the main refined grain, and wheat is the second-class grain. Millet is actually a kind of millet, and it turns yellow after it is shelled. Wheat is a kind of post-season replanting grain after the millet is harvested, and it is used as the inferior grain of various colors with Sunn. At present, there is no idea of ​​processing wheat into flour. As a result, wheat does not taste very well. It exists as a coarse grain. The military simply uses it to feed the horses mixed with beans.

Many people who did not know why they heard that the Western and Eastern Han dynasties were feeding their horses with wheat instantly felt that it was a waste. Little did they know that wheat became the staple food after the idea of ​​processing and milling. Then came the emergence of wheat flour, which gave rise to the origin of northerners who mainly eat pasta.

As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhu Xia Civilization had the technology of grinding flour, but it was used to grind all kinds of beans. Later in the Western Han Dynasty, tofu was made by grinding bean flour, but I really didn't want to grind anything else.

Han Guo naturally has the idea of ​​grinding wheat flour, and Liu Yan reminded him that wheat has long been not coarse grains because of the emergence of flour. On the contrary, it has become a staple food with the emergence of pasta and steamed buns, but it will happen for a while. The thinking is still incapable of changing. The folks in the north focus on planting wheat, but they still call it coarse grains.

People involved in the construction of Chang'an, whether they are from corvee or employed, have at least body-covering clothing on their bodies, mostly wearing uniform clothing issued by the government over and over again. The reason why the government issued clothes again and again was not the trouble left by the Hu Hu during his rule of the Central Plains. At that time, I didn’t mention what the Hu people were like. The vast majority of Han people didn’t even have a piece of clothing at all. Madness means that after productivity is completely destroyed, one can't afford cloth without being rich.

The clothing issued by the government is a kind of underwear with a right gusset, and is equipped with trousers. The so-called pleated coat is actually an upper body single garment of comparable length to a robe. The so-called pleated coat is just a style, and there are many kinds of materials.

Liu Yan took the country name as "Han", and his clothing was also removing the color of Wei and Jin, that is, he no longer had the loose features of Wei and Jin, and restored to the relatively tight-fitting system of the pre-Han period. The civilians are still going to "Jinhua", and the army is making a comprehensive reform. There is also a distinction between combat uniforms, dresses, and casual clothes. This is also considered to be an aspect of preferential treatment to the military.

The government has repeatedly looked for clothes made of hair, no matter what style they are, they are all linen materials. The beauty is definitely not mentioned, but the quality is very good. In addition to the underwear style, there is also a deep clothing style, and then the underwear style. Different styles are naturally worn in different seasons.

Tired of swinging a shovel, Sanshi straightened his waist and hammered again. Seeing a bull cart on the road in the distance, he walked slowly along the avenue and couldn't help being stunned.

There is no shortage of horses in Han, and nobles (referring to those with titles) can buy horses for a small amount of money. Horses are too expensive and too difficult to buy. Carts are basically the first choice for horses, and it is difficult to see people choosing cattle to pull carts.

New Chang'an is a large construction site, which is closer to the southeast than the old Chang'an. If you enter from Guandong, you will need to pass through the large construction site of New Chang'an, whether you are walking through Tongguan, Lantian Pass or Yaoguan.

Because it is a large construction site, it looks messy. The excavated soil needs to be transported out by car, and finally it is crowded with people. The avenue is really not able to withstand the slow walk. Sanshi will be stunned when he sees the bullock cart. Too slow blocked a string of cars behind.

The bull pulling the cart looked like a scalper. There was a strong middle-aged man sitting in the driving position with a whip in his hand. The rear carriage was ventilated on all sides, and two elders with white hair and beards could be seen.

"It's really rare to consume huge amounts of people's energy!"

"Reappearance of Qin and Han!"

The two old men on the bullock cart looked at them and said that they seemed to have seen the greatest tragedy in the world, and their faces were full of unbearable expressions.

Zhang Gan is dressed in white clothes with white hair and beard, and looks very dusty.

Li Mao was dressed in light green clothes. Although he was sitting upright, his temperament looked lazy.

The two came from the deep mountains (Taihang Mountain) of the Leping County generation. According to their claims, they are people in the mountain gate, and they don't belong to the same family. One of them talked about consuming people's energy, and the other about Qin and Han reappearance, only to make it clear that Liu Yan was also doing tyrannical things.

There have been quite a few so-called "mountains" in the past dynasties. They are nothing more than small groups hiding in a group, usually with their own doctrine system.

"Shanmen" always accompanied hermits, but hermits were not "hidden" at all. After the Northern and Southern Dynasties, being a hermit became a means of pretending to be coercive. "Everlasting is like a long night", as if the earth would explode if the two might not be born, and their original intention of doing things was very good, but in the end they bombed the court at that time.

"Born to be uncompromising, eternity is like a long night" comes from Zhu Xi's "Zhu Zi Yu Lei" volume 93. This brother is not really awesome. It precedes Zhu Xi's previous sentence of Zhang Zai, "Establishing a heart for the heaven and the earth, for the living of the people. Liming, for the sake of the sage to continue to learn, and for the peace of the eternal world" is the real awesome, and it has become a famous saying that the traveler must roar.

"parking!"

The driver tensed the reins neatly, jumped down first, and moved to the pier, helping the two elders to get out of the car one after another.

Although they were walking slowly before ~lightnovelpub.net~, they were at least still moving forward. The car drivers behind this stop had to follow them. The group of soldiers who had been frowning at first couldn't stand it anymore.

"Who are you waiting for, I don't know if I have to make way for parking?"

Li Mao looked at the yelling Han army like an ant. He didn't know how to distinguish between official and knighthood from the badge. He only stopped for a while and then moved away, and he walked towards Minpi by the avenue.

Zhang Gan smiled happily at the Han army, and calmly said to the driver, "Let's let it go."

The driver respectfully saluted Zhang Gan, but he hummed coldly to the Han army before he drove the bull and pulled the cart away from the road.

The Han army was a little upset: "Who, is this?"

The leader of the team looked at the old man a bit compelling. After thinking about it, he didn't break the law. Han has always acted in accordance with the law and couldn't help but calmly said: "These two are reasonable (sensible)."

That is to say... because of Liu Yan's recruitment order, have the intellectuals from all directions been prosecuted for pretending to be excessive? 8)
