Chapter 356 I Will Be Your General(2/2)
.”
"There is also corvee service. He greatly extended the age of service and only had to serve once every three years. In addition, the people were allowed to work and had to pay. Such a light corvee service was only done by Emperor Wen throughout the ages."
"In that era, every household had land and no worries about hunger, cold or disaster. Even if there were seven years of floods and three years of drought, the people did not have to go bankrupt and go into exile."
"Because Emperor Wen continued to benefit the people throughout his life and benefited the world."
Speaking of anything else, Yan Nu had no feeling at all, only feeling empty.
But when Miaohan said this, he immediately felt the difference.
He and Aweng have experienced too many disasters, including all kinds of corvee wars, tax robbers, and disasters...
A single drought would cause Aweng to go bankrupt and become a refugee. He would be completely ruined and would never be able to turn around again.
During the Wenjing rule, the people could experience "seven years of floods and three years of drought" without becoming refugees. This was a good life that the people of the Jin Dynasty could not have imagined.
This is the prosperous age that people like Yan Nu absolutely recognize in their hearts.
For such a good emperor, no wonder Zhang Pijiang defended him so much.
Seeing the barbarian digging up the mausoleum, he was so angry that he wanted to ignore the refining of earth, wind, water, and fire. He would rather give up the opportunity to end the law of heaven once and for all, and draw his sword!
"That's right, that's right... If a random disaster causes the people to go bankrupt and go into exile, how can it be a prosperous age?"
"But what are you talking about? Throughout the ages, people have been able to reach the level of Emperor Wen in just these twenty years?"
Yan Nu glanced at everyone and saw Luo Yan and other demons all nodding, and couldn't help but remain silent.
Miaohan muttered: "The prosperous age of Zhaoxuan is comparable."
Du Yu shook his head: "Waibi Babu!"
Everyone looked at him. He calmed down, pulled everyone into the field of decryption, and said: "At the time of Zhaoxuan, the national power was indeed extremely powerful, but national power is only national power, and the people's lives cannot actually compare with it."
"I was born during the reign of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty. I served three years of military service on the border at the age of sixteen and did not return home until I was nineteen..."
"Because of the lack of my labor force, my grandmother died of starvation, but after I returned, my family quickly became rich... Maybe this was also a prosperous time."
After hearing this, Yan Nu said: "This is not a prosperous age."
Both he and Aweng had done a lot of corvee work and knew the pain of it.
I had also served in the military, and it was really miserable to be forcibly taken away by Gou Xi. If there were other elderly people at home at that time, they would definitely starve to death.
In the prosperous age of Zhaoxuan mentioned by Miaohan, no matter how powerful the country was, in the eyes of Yan Nu, it still could not be compared to the time of Emperor Wen.
After listening to the words of the people in the devil's path, Miao Han also sighed: "Emperor Xuan's foreign military was strong, so corvee service is indeed indispensable."
Yan Nu asked: "Emperor Wen's corvée service was so light, but he was still exempt from taxes. What would happen if a foreign enemy invaded?"
Miaohan, Luo Yan and others said at the same time: "Make peace."
Yan Nu raised his eyebrows: "That's it..."
Zhang Bijiang said solemnly: "The Yongxuan family invaded the pass, and Emperor Wen was so anxious that he personally boosted morale and drove his troops to conquer the enemy in person."
"The marriage was followed by decades of peace. Although his martial arts was not as good as that of Emperor Wu, he still preserved the peace of the country. His national power was not as great as that of Emperor Xuan, but he allowed no one to go into exile."
"Xiaoren has really reached his limit as a person."
Yan Nu looked at Zhang Pijiang with a smile: "I know, I admire him. If I had known this just now, I would have killed those barbarians with one shot."
"You can set up a formation to guard this Ba Tomb well, so that in the future, some people will not understand and think it is full of treasures like other mausoleums, and they will die in the wilderness."
Then, he collected the excavated soil.
Zhang Pijiang and others also took action, but they did not reshape the gate, but used immortal magic and set up formations to hide Ba Ling.
After doing all this, Yan Nu sighed: "If Emperor Wen is given an invincible army, he may be able to achieve true peace in the world."
Everyone also imagined that although Emperor Wen made the people happy, his martial arts skills were insufficient.
Although the Han Dynasty was extremely powerful during Emperor Wu's reign and even later during the Zhaoxuan period, to support such national power, the toil of the people was unavoidable.
If Emperor Wen's martial arts were combined with Emperor Wu's martial arts, it might really be a peaceful and prosperous age.
Zhang Pijiang looked at him: "Even if Emperor Wen is given a champion, he will not be able to raise a cavalry that can dominate the world..."
"You can't always have both sides of things in this world, because people have their limits."
Yan Nu smiled: "But I'm not a human!"
Everyone also smiled, yes, Yan Nu's ability can make up for all these shortcomings. Can't afford it? Doesn't exist. Forced to increase the burden on the people? It's unnecessary.
As long as one emperor is chosen, who has a benevolent heart and is good at governance, and then eliminates the interference of the way of heaven, which always rises and falls, then the world can be strong and rich at the same time, the eight wastelands and the six can be unified, and peace will be created for all ages.
At that time, the immortal emperor in heaven rewards good and punishes evil, the human emperor on earth is prosperous, and there will be reincarnation in the underworld to make up for the regrets. If we start over again... maybe it will be perfect.
After Yan Nu finished speaking, he looked at Miaohan: "Xue'er, if you were Emperor Wen, I would be your general!"
