Jokes and jokes of ancient political reform

For those historical reforms, of course, in our eyes, they have the function of innovating history and promoting social development, but after all, a feudal society can't do whatever it wants, even if it sometimes sacrifices its own life, those nobles will change the system again to safeguard their own interests. Shang Yang is like this. The reform and reform of Qin made Qin's national strength continuously enhanced and finally unified the six countries. However, these are also known to our later generations. For people at that time, we didn't know that you had harmed the interests of the nobility, so Shang Yang was despised in ancient times.

After Shang Yang's political reform, Qin became the most powerful country among the Seven Heroes at the end of the Warring States Period, and Shang Yang contributed a lot. In agriculture, reclamation of wasteland, land acquisition system, emphasizing agriculture and restraining commerce are all measures to arouse farmers' enthusiasm. After all, the war needs enough food as backup. In ancient times, people didn't have enough to eat, so farmers must be encouraged to grow crops.

Shang Yang also did his best in army building. Military service was granted knighthood, regardless of origin, as long as it killed an enemy, it would be promoted to knighthood. At that time, the people of Qin rushed to be soldiers, and a war was like a hungry wolf seeing meat. Although it is impossible to reach this level, there will certainly be some economic returns.

Let's talk about the land acquisition system, which takes the nobles' fiefs, the nobles' power and distributes the land to the poor to plant. Where does this rob the interests of the nobility? Nobles don't hate you. Who do you hate? Therefore, in ancient times, unless the political reform had strong strength, it would be rejected by the nobles and the end would be miserable.
