@sagas Hardly surprising. When you practice a philsophy whereby no reward for a good deed should be greater than the punishment for a bad one, people are going to get a little tired. It's basically asking for the system to be rejected. Take for example the first emperor of the dynasty that replaced Qin. He was an officer in charge of a prisoner party en route somewhere (hard labour, I think). Some of the prisoners escaped him. If he reported it, he would have been killed. So, instead he decided to start a rebellion.
