Chapter 12: Unifying the world is just the beginning!
Seven days have passed since the surrender of Qi State. Seven days ago, the two sides set specific conditions. The edict of King Qi's surrender was spread to the entire State of Qi. The army of Qin State also officially took over the entire State of Qi. Everything went smoothly.
Even if some disharmonious scenes occasionally appear, and some rebels attempt to resist the Qin Dynasty, they will soon disappear completely, and they will not even be able to splash a splash!
When the news of Qi's surrender spread throughout Xianyang, the people of Xianyang burst into laughter, and the world was finally unified!
In the palace, a banquet is being held. It is a family banquet.
Ying Zheng, Dongjun, Concubine Han, Concubine Zhao, Concubine Wei, and Concubine Yan are all here. Even Concubine Qi, who has just arrived at the palace and has not even held a concubine-taking ceremony, is also here.
The difference is that Dongjun is pregnant again!
This is the second child, and this one is a daughter!
In addition to Dongjun, Concubine Wei, who is the boldest and most free-spirited, is now pregnant. She is also pregnant with her second child.
In addition to Ying Zheng and the concubines in the harem, those who participated in this family banquet also included the Prime Minister Wei Liaozi, the General Wang Jian, the Director of the Expedition Department Bai Qi, the Deputy Director Xiao He, the Shaofu Li Si, Ting Wei, and the Censor.
Doctors and other important ministers.
They all brought their wives and sons over. The banquet went very smoothly. Everyone was very happy and good at talking. Everyone was a talented person. Everyone's laughter never stopped from the beginning.
When the moon was at its zenith, the banquet was finally over. Ying Zheng glanced at Dongjun, who then got up and took all the ladies and sons to play in other palaces.
After the wife and sons left, Li Si, who was already drunk, suddenly regained his energy. Wang Jian, who had been lying motionless on the table, shook his head and got up.
"Now that the world is unified, I am here to toast you all. This cup is to thank you for your contributions to the empire over the years."
Everyone had different expressions, either grateful, surprised or excited. As for who was real and who was pretending, Ying Zheng couldn’t tell, let alone didn’t want to delve into it, because anyone who delved into this kind of issue was either stupid or bad!
After a glass of wine, Ying Zheng poured himself a second glass: "This glass is dedicated to all the officials of Great Qin, to every Chinese citizen who has fought for Great Qin, and to those companions who are still in other worlds and fighting for Great Qin."
The full second cup was filled with another sip. Ying Zheng was already suffocated, what else could Li Si and others do? Of course, they also sipped it too.
After finishing the drink, Ying Zheng poured himself a third cup: "This third cup is a tribute to the heroes who sacrificed their lives for the Empire, and also to the ancestors who made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty. Without their sacrifices and contributions, the Empire would
It’s impossible today!”
Shang Yang, if it weren't for this person, the Qin State would never have had the chance to survive the sixth generation, and would have been destroyed by the Wei State.
Fan Ju, make friends from far away and attack closely.
Zhang Yi, connect horizontally and break vertically.
Lu Buwei, when Ying Zheng's father died when Ying Zheng was only thirteen years old, stabilized the Qin Dynasty, restored the Qin's national power in an orderly manner according to the plan, and defeated the six-nation army led by Lord Xinling.
There are even those ordinary soldiers who sacrificed their lives, each of them is worthy of respect, at least Ying Zheng thinks so, and he does the same.
"Now that the world is united, the world that has been in chaos for four hundred years will once again restore peace and order from today on. This peace is hard-won, and this order is worth cherishing!"
It is difficult for people who are not of this era to understand the preciousness of peace!
Since the Zhou Dynasty was conquered by the barbarians from the north and the capital was moved, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty became the Western Zhou Dynasty. From then on, the Emperor Zhou became a decoration.
The world has also entered the Spring and Autumn Period. In the two hundred years of Spring and Autumn Period, countless heroes have emerged. With the help of Guanzi, Duke Huan of Qi is the leader, and the nine princes have unified the world!
At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Laozi, Mozi, Confucius and others appeared one after another, and the era of the various schools of thought truly came. Even two thousand years later, the thoughts of the various schools of thought still have a lot to offer!
However, for the grassroots people at the bottom of this era, the glory of the upper class has never had anything to do with them!
After two hundred years of the Spring and Autumn Period, there are two hundred years of the Warring States Period!
In the Spring and Autumn Period, the princes were still trying to be shameless during wars. If the nobles failed, they could pay the ransom themselves. The nobles were still considered superior. Before the war, they also paid attention to the righteousness and honor.
A barbarian country like the Chu State became a weirdo and was ridiculed by other countries just because of its young age. However, by the Warring States Period, even superficial justice was no longer practiced!
I just want to hit you?
Not convinced? Beat him hard!
After four hundred years of chaos and four hundred years of war, people in the world yearn for stability. Scholars and nobles all yearn for peace!
"However, unifying the world is not the end. From Gu's point of view, this is just the beginning. We still have a broader world and a broader goal."
Speaking of this, Ying Zheng knocked on the table: bang bang bang
"Don't ever think that after you dominate the world, it's time for you to rest and have fun. This is impossible! If you want to rest, you can resign and go home with the honor given to you by the empire. You can rest as much as you want, whatever you want.
Have fun as much as you want!"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Prime Minister's Office has formulated a plan for the next five years. It is expected that in five years, there will be one qualified agricultural officer in each village and one qualified village chief in each village. It will take five years to train a group of sufficient numbers.
Quality and capable Qin officials."
"With this group of Qin officials, the empire's execution capabilities will be further strengthened, and the empire's control over the world will be like Guanzhong, with everything under control."
"In addition, the Prime Minister's Office also plans to build roads for five years. By building roads, they will feed the savages and give them jobs, which will subtly influence the savages. After five years, even the savages from the Six Nations will
You will also truly identify with the empire.”
"When the roads are built, the water conservancy can be rectified, so that they have endless work to do and endless food to eat. There is no reason to be more simple and more important than three meals a day. By then, we will be father and mother.
There is no imperial kiss!"
Although what Wei Liaozi said was very rough, everyone didn't care at all and instead laughed. That's it. As long as the savages have a meal to eat, they will not rebel!
"Yes, when the people are rich and have enough to eat, at most they will become unruly people, at most they will be difficult to govern, and they will just be a little troublesome. But if the people do not have enough to eat, then they will rebel, and the problem will be more serious!"
