Da Qin: Destroyed the Xiongnu at the beginning

“This time I came to Da Qin to investigate the reason why Da Qin was so powerful and bring it back to Rome.”

“I believe that as long as we work hard, we will always have a chance to catch up. After all, God cannot always only care for the people of Great Qin.”

Little Scipio saw that the atmosphere was a bit solemn, so he quickly said

“Also, anyway, the Daqin people’s canal will not be opened for at least several years, and I still have a lot of time in Rome.”

Sophie also cheered up again.

The faces of the group suddenly looked much better, and they started talking and laughing again.

“What is that car emitting black smoke? Is it the legendary steam train?”

Just when the carriage entered Gusu City, the sharp-eyed Sophie suddenly saw a huge creature that she had never seen before, and she suddenly said curiously.

“This is not a steam train. The train is much larger than this and runs on tracks made of steel.”

“However, the principle of this thing is very similar to that of a train. According to what the Daqin people call it, it should be an agricultural steam tractor.”

The head of the Roman mission quickly replied

“Agricultural steam tractor, such a good thing, is actually used for farming, is it too wasteful?”

“Not to mention too many, if you gather more than a hundred of these steel monsters and drive 10 directly onto the battlefield, you will be invulnerable to swords and will be difficult to defeat, right?”

Sophie couldn’t help but frowned.

Although she was a woman, due to the influence of her father Scipio, Sophie had read many books on war since she was a child, and she was not completely a layman when it came to leading an army in combat.

“As you all may not know, the people of Great Qin attach great importance to agriculture, and both the Crown Prince and their Emperor are no exception.”

“In Daqin, farmers can enjoy government subsidies for planting, seeds and agricultural tools, and can also receive free guidance from agricultural experts, and taxes are as low as almost nothing.”

“Although today’s farmers in Da Qin may look ordinary, their wealth is not necessarily inferior to that of ordinary nobles in Rome.”

The head of the Roman mission introduced

“But if we don’t pay agricultural taxes, where will the income of Da Qin Chaotang come from? Does it all rely on commercial taxes?”

“As far as I know, the annual expenditure of the Great Qin court is equivalent to ten times that of Rome. Even for Great Qin, it is an astronomical figure.”

“Otherwise, the people of Daqin would not need to issue bonds in the name of the imperial court.”

Sophie was suddenly surprised.

“The vast majority of Daqin’s income currently comes from commercial taxes, and the remaining agricultural taxes are simply not enough for Daqin’s 30% of agricultural subsidies.”

“It’s just that Da Qin has a very good law, that is, from His Majesty the First Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, everyone must pay taxes according to regulations. Anyone who dares to evade taxes will be severely punished!”

“Therefore, every commodity transaction in Daqin will be fed back to Daqin’s tax revenue in proportion. The more developed commercial trade is, the higher the treasury revenue will be, and the more investment will be, forming a virtuous cycle.”

“As for Rome, although the business is pretty good, it should have been the main source of taxation, but unfortunately the nobles do not need to pay taxes. The source of the bulk is gone, so naturally they can only continue to squeeze the farmers.”

“According to the opinion of my subordinates, if Rome wants to become stronger, the first step is to learn from Qin’s principle of all employees paying taxes…….”

The head of the Roman mission suddenly stopped mid-sentence.

Because the two people in front of him are from the Cornelius clan, the largest noble in Rome, and they are also the biggest beneficiaries of the nobles not paying taxes. His words influenced by Da Qin are just a slap in the face of these two people. ?

Sure enough, neither Scipio nor Sophie looked very good.

“In fact, my uncle has also considered your proposal, but the resistance is too great, so he can only give it up temporarily!”

“You should continue to tell us about the steam tractor we just talked about halfway, right?”

“Is there a way to steal this steam locomotive technology so that Rome can design its own railways and trains without relying on Da Qin?”

After a long time, little Scipio took a breath and said.

Compared to Sophie, he was trained as the next generation heir of the family. He could often go in and out of Scipio’s study and observe Scipio’s decisions. For I also have a closer understanding of the situation in Rome. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

In fact, Scipio also hopes that the Roman nobles will pay taxes in full, so that the Roman treasury will be abundant and the ordinary people of Rome can live. Better.

I hope that this can gather enough prestige to allow the Scipio family to take sole control, end the Senate discussion system and change it to the head of state system, so that the Scipio family can become the Roman royal family.

However, Scipio Alain Corne The Cornelius clan couldn’t figure it out internally.

Although Scipio was a Roman consul, as the oldest and most powerful family in Rome, the Cornelius clan had already produced more than double digits of consuls. Dorsey Pia was just the icing on the cake.

On the contrary, without the support of the Cornelius clan, Scipio, who had already encountered many doubts, was not so secure in his position as consul and continued to sit.

And without Without the authority of the supreme consul, Scipio’s political opponents would settle accounts in the future. Not to mention continuing to be prosperous and wealthy, whether they could survive would become a problem.

This time, the reason why Scipio easily agreed to the young Scipio and Sophie’s visit to the Qin Dynasty , in addition to learning more about the Qin Dynasty, there may not be factors that allow the two of them to leave temporarily so that Scipio can implement the policy without any worries.

This made the young Scipio have to feel that Rome’s backwardness towards the Qin Dynasty was more than just On one side, but in all aspects.

The execution of a decree, the top and bottom results, and the unity of all people in the Qin Dynasty are far beyond what Rome can match.

And although point 263 is the least likely to be noticed, it is the most fatal.[]

“The people of Daqin are very protective of advanced technology.”

“Without Daqin household registration, let alone being exposed to production technology, they are not even qualified to buy steam tractors.”

“Moreover, all manufacturers that produce and maintain these equipment must sign confidentiality agreements with the Daqin government and accept the supervision of the Daqin Internal Security Department.”

“I’m afraid that as soon as I started asking, before I could find out any secrets, I would be captured by the Qin government.”

“The people of Great Qin were never merciless in dealing with foreigners, and they would even go so far as to increase the severity of their crimes.”

“Countries have lost a large number of intelligence experts because of this, and now there are not many who dare to risk their lives.”

The head of the Roman mission said with a wry smile.

“If the production equipment is not good, can we consider getting an exported steam tractor and transport it back to Rome for research?”

Sophie blinked and said

“Let’s not talk about the owners of steam tractors. They all attach great importance to them. It is not easy to get a machine without alerting them.”

“With such a big machine, how can you create Da Qin quietly? It’s a big problem?

The head of the envoy said with a helpless look:”I advise you two not to think about this idea any more, otherwise you will be targeted by the Daqin people, and you may not be able to return to Rome.””
