Chapter 33 Talking

The bandits are like fire, can't they be eye-catching?

When Ying Zhu left, he was still thinking about this sentence.

The focus of this statement is on the word "conspicuous".

And can this indirectly reflect Ju Zizhou's personal character?

He didn't know, but generally speaking, people who longed for "striking" were all arrogant, domineering, rich, lustful and powerful people.

Ying Zhu felt that Ying Zheng could try to control Ju Zizhou with this.

After Ying Zhu left, Ying Zheng came over and said, "It's not right."

"What's wrong?" Ju Zizhou asked.

Ying Zheng couldn't say something was wrong.

But he felt that Ju Zizhou's previous remarks were problematic.

This is a intuition created by his learning and his sensitive personality, and he believes in his intuition.

Ju Zizhou stared at Ying Zheng: "Do you really think there is something wrong?"

"That's what I think." Ying Zheng nodded.

"Is there really a problem?" Ju Zizhou's tone changed, with a hint of teasing.

Ying Zheng was a little unconfident when he asked this.

"It should be..."

"Do you want to think about it again?" Ju Zizhou asked in a negotiated tone.

Ying Zheng gritted his teeth: "There's just a problem!"

His character does not allow him to make too much concessions.

Ju Zizhou nodded with satisfaction: "Your feeling is not wrong, there is indeed something wrong!"

"But my senior brother hopes that you will use what you have learned in the future to find out the problem!"

"And you need to be more confident!" Ju Zizhou said: "Because I may mislead you, and others may mislead you!"

"This kind of misleading cannot even be said to be a deception - just like the truth I just told Qin Wangzhu, I did not deceive him, I just used a little bit of speech to mislead him!"

"What kind of speech?"

"It's just a little bit of misleading." Ju Zizhou smiled: "The King of Qin is too ignorant of ordinary people and the lives of ordinary people."

"Because he has been out of his foundation for too long!"

"He doesn't know that ordinary farmers eat dry food when they are busy and porridge when they are free. The villagers often make their own sauce and vinegar, so they won't be full when they are full when they are busy."

"And most importantly, they often feel forced to eat raw food due to conditions."

"So..." Ying Zheng nodded: "So that's how it is!"

"In fact, their survival cost is not as high as I have calculated, but if you don't say it's a little higher, you can't mislead the King of Qin." Ju Zizhou said.

"Then is not wrong with the "poisons in the country" being "people's grievances"?" Ying Zheng asked: "I think there is no problem."

"The so-called "poisons in the country" are indeed "civil resentment".

"But the impact of survival problems is actually very small. I hope you remember the most important problem for a lifetime - this is an inevitable problem caused by the inequality of rights and responsibilities, not an economic problem, but a "distribution problem" hidden behind economic problems!"

"Distribution issue?" Ying Zheng wrote down this word.

"If you have a good memory enough..." Ju Zizhou said: "You should remember the data of Zhao State in "Handan Investigation"?"

"How many people are there in their family?"

"A common family often ranges from eight to fourteen!" Ying Zheng replied immediately.

Before he took out the "Handan Investigation" to the King of Qin, he had already memorized it thoroughly. Such data could be obtained at this time.

"How much land does a family occupy?"

"The poor farmers range from 16 acres to 87 acres of land."

Follow the official account: Book Friends Base Camp, follow it and get cash and order coins!

"The middle-aged farmer's land ranges from 88 acres to 166 acres."

"The rich peasant ranges from 167 acres to 800 acres of land."

"Have you found the problem?" Ju Zizhou asked.

"If you don't eat dry meals every meal, you can only eat as much as a middle-aged peasant!" Ying Zheng was stunned: "Why?"

"The State of Zhao cannot stop drinking, fighting privately, and fighting privately."

"There are many rangers in Yanzhao land!" Ju Zizhou smiled: "Because there are many poor people, there are many people who have lost their land and even become slaves!"

"Relying on the power of the nobles alone, we cannot control the vast areas outside the city!"

"They may be able to requisition the houses of the wild people as we encountered on the road, but they cannot force them to pay taxes, and cannot force them to serve King Zhao and noble Zhao."

"It's not because they don't want to control it, but because they can't! They don't have the ability!"

"The basic foundation of the Zhao nobles is the group of people who are in the "middle peasants"!"

"Those people received so much from Zhao State that they were enough to feed themselves, and even enough to detach from the actual production of land and other resources."

"They are the real "vested interests" of Zhao State!"

"So they support Zhao State."

"And this group of people... are very few!" Ju Zizhou said: "The land of Zhao State is concentrated in the hands of all kinds of nobles of all sizes."

"There are actually not many people below the nobles and middle peasants."

"These people are the "backbone" forces of Zhao State and the main source of recruitment."

"In the Battle of Qin and Zhao, these people were the main source of Zhao's troops."

"They enjoy the benefits brought by the existence of the "Zhao State", and therefore need to defend the existence of the "Zhao State" to defend their own interests."

"In this case, interests are "power", and service is "responsibility."

"But most of the "Zhao people" do not enjoy enough "right" to eat themselves, so they actually do not care about the "right" that is not enough to make them eat, so they do not need to be responsible for the "Zhao State" at all! Because those of them are not vested interests of the "Zhao State" at all."

"Even as a "Zhao people", the "Zhao Kingdom" is not their country, so if you tear your throat and make them patriotic, they can't love them. If you force them to work for King Zhao, they won't work!"

"And Qin State is different! Qin State is a little fairer."

"In addition to "sloppy family", the Qin people have ways to obtain more land and wealth. Although there will inevitably be unfairness and excessive land concentration,..."

"But the "power" enjoyed by the "Qin people" is equivalent to the "responsibilities" they have to bear?" Ying Zheng asked.

Ju Zizhou looked at Ying Zheng with contempt.

"The "powers and responsibilities" of the Qin people are not equal!" Ju Zizhou said: "The Qin law stipulates that the "responsibilities" that every Qin people need to abide by are fixed, but divides the "power" into the "twenty-class title" system and is distributed."

"Although it is slightly better than Zhao State, it is not much better."

"This asymmetry between "power" and "responsibility" is the root cause of public grievances."

"And what "equal rights and responsibilities" requires is as "fair" distribution as possible!" Ju Zizhou said: "I don't know how much grain yield per mu of Qin is, but it must be more than "Zhao State".

"But even so, the Qin people without titles still have a hard time."

"What happens if they abide by the corresponding "responsibility" but do not get the "right" they deserve?"

Ying Zheng was speechless, and the little bit of pride that had just risen in his heart disappeared without a trace.

"You should have calculated... Actually, there is not a small amount of food in Zhao State... According to the data I gave, you can calculate... There is enough food for all Zhao people to make everyone full."

"But the reality is, it's not."

"This is not because the yield per mu is too low, which leads to insufficient total grain."

"But something went wrong with the distribution!" Ying Zheng nodded: "So senior brother, you have taught me before that the saying "productivity determines production relations" will be invalid?"

"That's half a sentence!"
