Chapter 479: Dont take responsibility for yourself, dont ask about your position!
Walk out of Shangshusi.
Chen Ping took a deep breath and looked very determined.
Until then.
Only then did he finally accept his choice.
The ambition of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms to disrupt the world and plunge the world into war again may not be realized. Da Qin has long been familiar with the various measures of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms and has already made corresponding countermeasures.
Now it's just boiling frogs in warm water.
This is a conspiracy.
But the nobles of the six countries could not stop it.
Because the Qin Dynasty is now powerful, the nobles of the Six Nations are simply unable to resist it and can only secretly accumulate strength. The dormant nobles of the Six Nations also mean that the Great Qin can unscrupulously weaken the strength of the nobles of the Six Nations, and the nobles of the Six Nations do not dare to resist.
As long as Da Qin does not make major policy mistakes, the nobles of the Six Kingdoms will only become weaker and weaker.
When the nobles of the six countries are weak enough, even if they try their best, it may be difficult to shake the Qin Dynasty.
The world is destined to return to Qin!
Chen Ping walked on the street, his mood gradually calmed down.
He looked at the people coming and going on the street, and felt a sense of pride in his heart.
He wants to prove that he belongs here.
And from now on...
He will also serve this vast empire.
While traveling.
Chen Ping came to a guest house.
Two years ago, there was a great gathering of scholars and he lived here.
After he was selected, the guest house was lively for a while, and his name was even posted outside, but it has long since disappeared. Now that the heat has subsided, everything has returned to how it was when he first arrived.
Chen Ping strolled into it.
The people from back then were still greeting people inside.
Meet Chen Ping.
The fellow was stunned for a moment.
He felt that the dusty man in front of him looked a little familiar.
Seems like I've seen it somewhere.
But this feeling is very strange, because as a housekeeper, he greets many guests on weekdays, but he cannot remember most of them, and the ones he remembers are basically those who come and go frequently. The person in front of him is obviously not a regular customer.
but.
He didn't pay much attention to it. He still had a lot of dishes to give away.
Within one or two years.
The stir-fried dishes that Qin Luoheng strongly recommended gradually entered the restaurants in the city, and gradually became a household staple.
Chen Ping went to sit by the window.
soon.
Then someone came forward.
Chen Ping said: "I just came in to sit."
Sheren glanced at Chen Ping suspiciously, but didn't say much. There were many such people in daily life.
Chen Ping leaned against the window and looked into the distance.
He didn't sit here for long.
It's approaching noon.
There are gradually more and more people dining in the restaurant.
Chen Ping did not choose to eat here because he was really short of money.
The fatigue of traveling and traveling has exhausted most of the money and food.
Now that he had just arrived, he still needed to buy a house, so he really didn't dare to eat in the store, and the reason why he came in and sat down was just because of some emotion in his heart.
Chen Ping turned around and left.
After being busy for a while, the housekeeper finally remembered Chen Ping's identity and ran to the store excitedly and said: "Shopkeeper, I remember who that person is? That person is Chen Ping, who was a scholar from two years ago.
Celebrities who bring great gatherings of people.”
The store owner looked at the door suspiciously.
There was no sign of anyone.
The store owner rolled his sleeves and said impatiently:
"Go! Go! Go."
"You can remember this famous person."
"Business in the store is so good today? Why don't you get busy?"
Toneri rolled his eyes.
He put the sweat towel on his shoulders. Even though it was already spring and the weather was still cold, Shiren's face was covered with beads of sweat, but he still had a relaxed and honest smile on his face.
after all.
The world is very peaceful now.
And the imperial court clearly began to favor the old Qin people.
They are also gainers.
...
Xianyang Palace.
Ying Zheng was at his desk processing the memorial.
At the same time, he was also listening to the Skynet Order's report on Qin Luoheng's actions during the past half month.
Heard about Qin Luoheng's various actions.
Ying Zheng slightly raised his forehead.
said:
"If you don't care about yourself, don't ask about your job!"
“Sometimes when hiring people, you should be informal and don’t stick to formalities.”
"There may not be any capable people in the countryside."
"It's just that this man was once a disciple of Duke Xinling of Wei."
Ying Zheng frowned slightly.
But he soon felt relieved.
This is Qin Luoheng's choice, and he won't interfere too much.
But he was also a little curious.
Qin Luoheng knew about Xiao He, and he could understand it. After all, Xiao He was among the scholars at the gathering. Although Xiao He had always been close to Fusu, he had never shown an obvious tendency. He was more or less able to be used, but Liu
Ji is just the next pavilion chief in Peixian County. He has never even heard of him before. How did Qin Luoheng know about this person?
And you still trust him so much?
Ying Zheng said: "Then what did Liu Ji do?"
Tao She said:
"Return to Your Majesty."
"News from Pei County."
"During this period, Liu Ji basically arranged for all the friends he had met in the past to go out. Now most of them are in Shouchun, monitoring the movements of the Qu, Zhao, and Jing clans. These people are originally Chu people, and most of them are businessmen.
Vendors have not attracted anyone's attention in Shouchun. From this point of view, Tenth Young Master's selection is indeed somewhat clever."
Ying Zheng smiled.
Said: "After all, he used to live in the market, and he has a little bit of the atmosphere of the market. He knows the habits of the people in the market. It is indeed more suitable to use these people than to use officials. Since he has ideas, I will not interfere too much."
"You can continue to send people to keep an eye on it."
Tao She said: "No."
Tao She then told Ying Zheng about Chen Ping.
Hear the words.
Ying Zheng's eyes closed slightly.
But there was a hint of relief deep in his eyes.
Someone came to invest.
This is enough to explain Qin Luoheng's growth.
At that time, the grand gathering of scholars was held so grandly that one hundred famous scholars were selected. However, after the gathering of scholars, not many people left to serve in the Qin Dynasty. Most of them either returned to seclusion or chose to return to the countryside. At that time, Qin Luoheng
Although he is ambitious and ambitious, it seems to be a bit exaggerated and exaggerated.
After several years of hard work, my character has improved greatly.
I am now able to stand alone.
But whether he is just strong on the outside or capable on the inside, or whether he really has such abilities, depends on Qin Luoheng's response in Chu.
This was also a big test he gave Qin Luoheng.
"Ahem."
Suddenly, Ying Zheng coughed lightly.
Tao She's eyes were full of worry.
Ying Zheng waved his hands and said, "It's okay, you can step back first."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Tao She said worriedly: "Your Majesty, your body."
Ying Zheng said: "My health is fine, but I have an old problem. You go do your thing first."
Tao She bowed and said:
"I excuse myself."
"Your Majesty, please ensure your health."
When Tao She was completely gone, Ying Zheng finally couldn't control the itching in his throat and coughed violently.
After coughing for a while, he gradually recovered.
"Here comes someone."
"Call Zongzheng..."
I almost finished speaking and swallowed it again.
Then he suddenly remembered that Ying Teng had been retired for half a year.
The current Zongzong is Ziying.
below.
The eunuch worriedly asked: "Your Majesty, are you going to summon Zong Zheng?"
Ying Zheng waved his hand and said: "Forget it."
Ying Zheng sat at the table.
At this time, I no longer had the interest to review the memorials.
He looked around and suddenly found that there were not many familiar faces around him.
When he first came to power, many of the old ministers who assisted him died or retired. Now there is no news in the court. The officials he appointed after taking power also retired and died in the seven or eight years since the founding of the Qin Dynasty.
's death.
Look up.
Eyes filled with loneliness and emptiness.
I think back then, when he was in his prime, Wang Bi, Meng Wu, Li Si, Zheng Guo, Mao Jiao and others in the palace all dared to speak out. But now that these old ministers have retired, there are only a few who dare to tell the truth to him.
Now Wang Ben, Meng Wu, and Zheng Guo have passed away.
The only people who could still talk to him were Dun Rui, Zong Zheng Ying Teng, and Tian Wang Ling Yi.
But during this year, the imperial censor's weakness was finally exhausted by his health, and he could no longer persist. He completely retired last month. Yingteng also appointed Zongzheng's candidate a few months ago, and he got to know Ziying.
After the political affairs, he also retired directly, and because Yi got involved in Qin Luoheng, Hu Hai and the court affairs, he had no choice but to retire.
At present.
There was no one around him to speak to.
Totally lonely.
Ying Zheng thought about it in his mind.
In the end, he had no choice but to admit that almost all the old ministers he was familiar with were no longer in the court.
The only ones who are rare are Shaofuteng and Li Si.
"well."
Ying Zheng let out a long sigh.
At some point, he became a loner.
Ying Zheng asked: "Where is Prime Minister Li Si now?"
The eunuch said:
"Return to Your Majesty."
"Prime Minister Li is now at the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Ying Zheng said: "Go and prepare the chariot. I will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"promise."
Not long after.
Ying Zheng sat in the car and drove slowly towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Sitting in the car, Ying Zheng looked calm.
Over the years, he has received many resignation letters, and the contents are similar. Almost all of them are old and weak, and their knowledge is too late to keep pace with the emperor. Ying Zheng can see these, but in his heart,
He didn't want these people to leave, but forcing them to stay would be in vain, but now that he thought about it, he felt somewhat sad.
Things are different and people are different!
The First Emperor, who had always relied on himself to be as energetic as a tiger or a wolf in the past, also felt tired at this moment.
He felt it faintly.
I seem to be really old.
Ying Zheng's chariot speed was very fast, but Ying Zheng felt that the journey was very long, which made him a little sleepy. However, he forced himself to stay awake and did not let himself fall asleep.
Not long after.
The imperial chariot arrived outside the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Ying Zheng got off the imperial chariot and walked straight towards the Prime Minister's residence without waiting much longer.
Upon hearing that His Majesty was coming in person, Prime Minister Li Si hurriedly went out to greet him.
Ying Zheng waved his hand.
He said calmly:
"Everyone else, please step aside."
"I am discussing something with the Prime Minister."
Hear the words.
Li Si's eyes were slightly strange.
Soon, the monarch and his ministers sat across from each other around a large stove with red charcoal fire. Ying Zheng did not hide anything and directly explained his intention.
"I want to stop the conscription of the people in Guanzhong for the two major projects of Lishan Mausoleum and the Great Wall."
The end.
Ying Zheng asked: "Is it feasible for the Prime Minister to miss you?"
Li Si thought about it silently for a long time.
Finally he handed over his hands and said: "Your Majesty, this strategy is certainly conducive to the stability of Guanzhong, but it is difficult to implement."
"Why?" Ying Zheng asked.
Li Sidao: "The two major projects, the Lishan Mausoleum and the Great Wall, actually have a certain reason for conquering the people of Guanzhong. The Lishan Mausoleum is near Xianyang, and the Great Wall stretches from Lintao in the west to Liaodong County in the east, and stretches for thousands of miles, while the people of Guanzhong
What is being built is a section close to Lintao. If the people in Guanzhong are not levied, they will inevitably have to levy corvees from afar."
"The Northland has just experienced war, and the people have not yet recovered. Some of them have to be requisitioned. If the conscription continues, it may arouse people's anger and resentment. And if the people of the old Chu land are requisitioned, it may be difficult to implement. The Chu land has just conscripted ten troops.
Fifty thousand, it will be difficult for young men to make up for it in a short period of time, and if we recruit them again, it will cause complaints from Chu."
"There are no more people to recruit from all over the world."
Ying Zheng remained silent.
a long time.
Then he sighed and said: "Isn't there a way to have both?"
Li Si sighed sadly and said: "In fact, it is not impossible, but it is not very feasible. After nearly ten years of renovation, the six places in Shandong have actually restored a lot of popularity, but the court's control over the places is not high, and the form is greater than the reality.
, every time corvee is levied, it will encounter great resistance, and..."
"Fleeing has become a common trend in this place in recent years."
"Many people have fled into the mountains, rivers and lakes, Yunmengze being the most popular among them. According to statistics reported by the local government, Yunmengze alone may have hidden hundreds of thousands of people. If other mountains and rivers are included, the population may have been hidden.
There are hundreds of thousands of households.”
"And the number is growing every year."
Ying Zheng's eyes closed slightly.
Asked: "What is the reason for this?"
Li Si's eyes flashed with solemnity.
He said slowly:
"I'm afraid it has something to do with local governance."
"The people of the six places regard the Qin as a tiger and a wolf. They are afraid of Qin's laws and laws, and it is understandable that they flee. However, after a few years, if Qin's laws and laws are implemented, this will never happen, but the local people still flee.
If it becomes a common practice, it may have something to do with local officials."
"In addition, apart from the fact that the imperial court was engaged in large-scale projects at the beginning of the founding of the country, in the past two years, the projects have actually become much larger."
"Especially since the Great Wall has not been officially built."
"The number of local households fleeing is not normal. In addition, local land annexation is common, and the environment of mountains, rivers and lakes is harsh. Many places have not been cultivated, which is not suitable for people to live at all. If there are only tens of thousands of people, they can barely survive, but a few
One hundred thousand, such a huge number, those barren lands simply cannot support them."
"I estimate..."
"There is a lot of underreporting in the local area."
"The local government is afraid that many officials, after annexing the Guizhou land, will directly buy these Guizhou people as slaves, let them continue to cultivate the fields, and then report them as fugitives, so as to avoid corvee taxes."
“Then through apportionment, these people’s corvée taxes were imposed on other people, thereby accelerating their own seizure of local fields.”
"now."
"This phenomenon is very common in the local area."
Ying Zheng was silent for a long time, his face looking gloomy and scary.
How could he not know what Li Si meant?
If the imperial court does not expropriate the people in Guanzhong, it can only expropriate the people from the six areas. The six areas already have serious population loss. If they are expropriated again, it may further accelerate the land annexation. By then, the people of the six areas will not be able to make a living, and it will be a matter of time before they revolt.
It was precisely with these considerations in mind that Li Si did not recommend conscripting the people of the six lands.
But Guanzhong is the foundation of the Qin Dynasty.
Guanzhong has sacrificed too much over the years.
If this continues, I'm afraid Guanzhong will be in chaos before the six places are in chaos.
a long time.
Ying Zheng raised his head.
His eyes were full of coldness.
Indifferently said: "Perhaps the New Deal should be put on hold for a while, and the Qin Dynasty should continue to control the world. The approach of being gentle to the world and appeasing the people with tolerance was perhaps a mistake in itself."
