Baili City grabbed the ground with its head and kowtowed heavily.
"What I want to say is, Your Majesty is wise!"
The veteran general Meng Ao was filled with energy in his Dantian, clasping his fists and speaking vigorously.
"Your Majesty, Holy Ming!"
Nei Shi Mengyi immediately followed his father's footsteps, the scholar spoke with a clear heart, and his words were sonorous.
"Your Majesty, Holy Ming!"
The old Prime Minister Wang Wan lowered his head slightly, his voice was old.
"Your Majesty, Holy Ming!"
Zuo Prime Minister Li Si, who was taken away from the post of Tingwei, looked at the noble family behind him with his rigid face like Qin Lu, then turned his head, put away the cold light in his eyes, and lowered his head.
"Your Majesty, Holy Ming!"
Sima Yi sighed, feeling dissatisfied with the result, but he had no choice but to do whatever he wanted.
"Your Majesty is Holy Ming."
Wei Fa thought the same way. The dignified nobles were imprisoned by Qin Lu, so they felt aggrieved no matter how much they thought.
But under the unfriendly gaze of the First Emperor, and with the First Emperor already taking a step back, Wei Fa did not dare to refute.
"Your Majesty is Holy Ming."
Chuizhi, who had the worst attitude towards Li Si just now, is the most satisfied. His ancestor Chuiliji was originally named Yingji. He was the concubine of Qin Xiaogong, and he was also considered a member of the Ying family.
The Qili family has this kind of relationship with the Ying family, and the two families are very close. They are the only family that has a good relationship with the Ying family and the aristocratic family.
He stood up, held his head high, and shouted loudly.
"Your Majesty, Holy Ming!"
The guards of the nine ministers say that your majesty is holy, the ministers of the nine ministers say that your majesty is holy, and the young ministers of the nine ministers say that your majesty is holy. All the people present in Xianyang Palace say that your majesty is holy.
The roar of the mountains and the tsunami of worship and praise almost overturned the roof of the Xianyang Palace.
The First Emperor turned a deaf ear to this scene, which was something he had expected.
Over the years, sitting on this throne, the thing he heard most was praise.
That Zhuzi should have left Xianyang City. Will he go to Handi, which I left for him, or to Shangjun where Fusu is located?
I don’t know what Han Di has become without officials for so long. I don’t know if Fusu has realized his vision in Shangjun.
Wang Jian is gone, Wang Ben is gone, Meng Tian is gone, Wei Liao is gone, and now even this Shuzi is gone...
There are fewer and fewer people I know well...
The First Emperor was distracted.
…………
In Korea, there are many wastes waiting to be revitalized.
This piece of land, which was not sealed off by the First Emperor because it was too close to Guanzhong, had advantages and disadvantages as a private land for the Qin State.
The advantage is that this land is under the control of the First Emperor himself, and there is no need to worry about soldiers and horses suddenly rising next to his bed and approaching Xianyang with sharp swords.
The disadvantage is that there is no group of important ministers of the Qin State with high merit and prestige, and a group of important ministers' families come to guard it, so the development of Han Dynasty is much slower than that of other regions.
Especially after the local aristocrats experienced a wave of great purges, the people's livelihood in Han became more and more exhausted. In addition, hundreds of books that should have been burned were opened here, and hundreds of schools of thought could not help but learn from them.
After the news spread, people from hundreds of families and literate people rushed to Korea, just like all rivers returning to the sea. Half of the educated and knowledgeable people in the world gathered in Korea, which made Korea even more chaotic.
Qin Chen, who should have been dispatched a long time ago, has never been in place. The businessmen of the Lu Chamber of Commerce are good at doing business, and it is a piece of cake to stabilize the situation, but they are still somewhat incapable of managing the place.
Although the Lu Chamber of Commerce has a high prestige, they are not very familiar with local laws and do not know how to resolve various issues, especially when people report to the government.
In the past, Han had its own local laws and regulations, which were not subject to the Qin Law. This is also the reality in various places in the world today. The effective jurisdiction of the Qin Law is the Guanzhong area, and it is basically invalidated beyond Hangu Pass.
Most of the elites of the Chamber of Commerce did not live in Korea before. Knowing this, they wanted to implement Qin laws to restrain the people of Korea.
They failed and almost caused a civil uprising. The laws of Qin were too strict, and they became acclimatized after leaving Guanzhong.
Princes, generals and prime ministers would rather have the seed. These eight words originate from Korea and are most widely spread in Korea.
Although at the time of the civil uprising, these eight words were far less important than the two words "alive".
But when basic life safety is guaranteed, many speculators who are not satisfied with the status quo have gathered a group of forces by relying on these eight words.
If it weren't for Qin's garrison in Han, these speculators would have changed the king's flag on the city wall and set up their own king.
Instead of inciting the people, preaching the harsh laws of Qin, and confronting the Lu Chamber of Commerce to test Qin's bottom line. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are entangled interests.
Laws and orders are a cage in the eyes of some people, but they are order in the eyes of most people.
Without a set of practical laws to control it, people are allowed to grow wildly. The end result is to return to primitive society, where the weak eat the strong, which makes no sense.
The governor of Xinzheng stands on the Xinzheng City Wall. This central city in Korea is the only city that has been well-preserved after experiencing the first peasant uprising in history.
Xinzheng was originally the capital of South Korea. After South Korea was destroyed, it secretly became the leader of the Zhang family of the Five Dynasties of Han Dynasty.
The governor of Xinzheng County looked at the horizon on the west wall of the city. That was where Guanzhong of the Qin State was located, and where the young master who appointed him was located.
…………
Shangjun.
No, to be precise, it’s the seven northwest counties.
A new look.
Prince Ying Fusu's personal visit here is nothing less than a sweet rain in the northwest, a land full of suffering, and a shot in the arm for the people of the northwest.
Because of the need to prevent nomads, the land in the northwest has always been vast and sparsely populated.
Although under the powerful military power of the Qin State today, all nomads are paper tigers, and they will sacrifice their heads under the sharp Qin sword when a formal war begins.
However, apart from raids on Yanmen and Jiuyuan counties, the nomadic tribes in the northwest, dominated by the Xiongnu, have never had a large-scale offensive led by Maodun Chanyu in so many years.
They did not go to large-scale war with the Qin State, but carried out raids and harassments led by small tribes.
Usually it is an attack involving dozens of people, dozens of people, or even several people.
The Xiongnu was different from the Qin State. The Xiongnu was divided into many tribes, and each tribe had great autonomy. Some particularly large tribes could even disobey Modun Shanyu's orders.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The people of the northwest are fine within the cities and counties, but the Qin people who have settled in the villages and are not protected by tall city walls have to worry about the Hu Dao outside the wall all day long.
fell on his neck.
This phenomenon has been going on for more than ten years, and Qin's response is very un-Qin. It is not blood for blood, tooth for tooth, but close to letting things go.
It would be best if the invading barbarians could stay, but if they couldn't, there was nothing they could do about it. The Qin State, which was committed to unifying the world, was targeting the six kingdoms at that time.
Compared with the six countries where the land is fertile and suitable for farming, the barbarian areas covered with weeds are obviously not very tasty.
Qin Law stipulates that residents of a place are not allowed to move without permission, depriving people in the northwest villages of their right to move to cities and counties.
They struggled to survive in such dire straits. This phenomenon worsened to its peak when Qin conquered Zhao State, because Qin took over the border counties of Zhao State.
Li Mu was able to frighten the main force of the Xiongnu for ten years, and the former Prime Minister Wei Zhuang of Zuo was able to make the border counties of Qin withdraw the main force and the Xiongnu did not dare to attack, but they could not stop the small group of Xiongnu from plundering.
The king of hell is easy to meet, but the devil is difficult to deal with.
Even Maodun Chanyu could not control all the Xiongnu tribes, let alone Li Mu and Wei Zhuang.
The border that was supposed to be defended by the Zhao people also belonged to the Qin State, and the number of entrances that the Xiongnu could enter was reduced from one to two.
The people in the northwest villages were under greater pressure of life and death, and their children stopped crying when they heard the sound of horse hooves.
The Qin bamboo slips of Shangjun contain:
At sunrise on Bingwu, more than 20 of the captives' cavalry came out of a patch of sand and captured a few traces of Zhao Gaizhong.
When the fleas were eating, they went to the north of the fifth tunnel and saw horse tracks entering the river. There were more than twenty horses riding on them.
…
There were countless robberies by the Huns' cavalry like this. The Qin people living in the northwest villages were so desperate that they thought Qin had forgotten them.
Until Prince Ying Fusu came to Shangjun in person, and from the day Fusu arrived, Huns' plundering was greatly reduced and almost eliminated.
With Mengtian's chariots showing off their ferocious power and conquering Yanmen and Jiuyuan counties, the Huns have been very honest recently.
Meng Tian was a die-hard loyalist to Ying Fusu, and the propaganda said that he came with the prince.
Meng Tian's original intention was to let Ying Fusu win the hearts and minds of the northwest frontier army, but unexpectedly, the people in the northwest villages wanted to kneel down and kowtow to express their gratitude to the prince of Qin.
Who can keep them alive.
To whom they are loyal.
Ying Fusu, who had lost the morale of the military but won the hearts of the people first, began drastic reforms.
He originally wanted to abolish the Qin law prohibiting private migration and ask all the Qin people in the northwest villages to move to cities and counties with tall walls, but Han Fei stopped him.
The reason is simple and inappropriate.
Ignoring other areas for now, let’s just talk about the northwest. The function of this Qin law is not to send Qin people to be killed by the Xiongnu. Its real meaning is to farm.
The fields within the city and county have been cultivated long ago, and these lands are simply not enough to feed the northwest frontier army. The northwest frontier army needs more food, and these can only be collected from the people.
If all the people are concentrated in cities and counties, it will only lead to one result: there will not be enough food in the northwest, and both people and land will be lost.
The implementation of every policy has its own internal logic. It is harmful to all but beneficial to none, and no one who implements it benefits. Policies do exist, but they are rare.
Ying Fusu was very shocked.
Only when he truly took charge of life and death in a place did he understand what level his father and uncle had reached.
The implementation of every policy of the superiors is very involved, and a slight inattention can lead to disaster. Decisions made in a hot head are more likely to harm others and themselves.
After Han Fei pointed out the shortcomings of Ying Fusu's decree, he did not criticize Ying Fusu. Han Fei had great patience for the Qin prince who often played in the Chang'an palace.
This is not only because of the entrustment of his master.
Especially because he saw the dictatorial side of the First Emperor Qian Gang, Han Fei felt that the Prince of Qin was really easy to change and at least he was obedient.
Han Fei made improvements on the basis of the laws and orders proposed by Ying Fusu and proposed military-civilian replacement.
To put it simply, the northwest half enters the city, and the same number of soldiers are sent to the village every six months. This not only improves the safety factor of the village, but also makes the people in the village safer, and can also improve the communication between the army and the people.
Ying Fusu was overjoyed and issued it immediately. This policy increased Ying Fusu's reputation by at least three orders of magnitude.
After Ying Fusu implemented the New Deal, he scolded the officials in the northwest and wanted to abolish them.
In Ying Fusu's view, if Han Fei's policy could have been implemented early, the northwest would never be what it is now.
Although Han Fei's plan was very good, Ying Fusu really didn't believe that no official in the entire northwest could think of it. Why didn't anyone report it? This is the inaction of the officials in the northwest.
It was Han Fei again, urging him to stop Ying Fusu and tell him that this matter was not that simple.
First of all, officials in the northwest claim themselves to be a faction. This area has been a neglected area of the empire all year round, and a single move can affect the whole body.
Most of the officials have been abolished, so Prince, who do you plan to replace them with? The group of Confucian disciples who came with you?
Secondly, this strategy can only be implemented at this time because the border counties were previously short of troops.
Shangjun's frontier troops have always been in extreme shortage. If this policy had been implemented earlier, the Xiongnu's previous raid might have defeated Shangjun as well.
Your Majesty, because of the defeat of Jiuyuan and Yanmen, increased the garrison strength, so that this strategy can be implemented.
Ying Fusu suddenly realized it, and even had the idea in his heart that it would be better if the teacher my father found for me was Han Feizi.
The great master of Legalism, Han Feizi, gave an in-depth and simple explanation, which made the Prince of Qin suddenly enlightened. With the help of Han Fei, the Prince of Qin was growing rapidly.
For the Confucian disciples who followed Ying Fusu to the northwest, Han Fei did not leave them idle. With a wave of his hand, he asked them to teach at the border county middle school.
Chun Yuyue, a great Confucian who was committed to restoring the status of Confucianism, was actually not satisfied with this. He wanted to be a high-ranking official in the northwest so that he could better promote Confucianism.
But unfortunately Ying Fusu is no longer the same Ying Fusu who was brainwashed by him.
Having seen the true face of Confucianism and having experienced the careful training of the First Emperor and Ying Chengyu, the Prince of Qin may be immature or naive, but he is definitely no longer pedantic.
He firmly opposed Confucians as officials and only wanted Confucians to be teachers.
He even consulted Han Fei privately and worriedly, whether it was feasible to use Confucianism as a teacher, and would it not deceive the border troops?
Han Fei shook his head.
The Qin army is always in a state of war preparedness, and the people of the northwest are always struggling on the line of life and death. It would be great if Confucianism could help these people understand the most useless writing on the frontier.
Han Fei showed off his skills, busy with his feet and hitting the back of his head every day, announcing new policies one after another, and from time to time he would give the prince some insightful reasoning and tell him why he did what he did.
Li Mu, who came to Shangjun with Han Fei, was completely opposite to Han Fei.
The former Zhao Wu'anjun who no longer drank was extremely leisurely. His daily working hours totaled less than two hours, and he used some strange and bizarre methods to train the Qin army. After assigning tasks, he left it alone.
From time to time, he liked to stand on the city wall and look northwest and sigh, often muttering why Meng Tian agreed to fight the Huns? Didn't the young master say that Meng Tian only wanted to win Fusu? Alas.
Former Zhao Wuanjun, who had beaten the Huns and fled, did not want to train troops in the rear, provide logistical support, and assist the Prince of Qin.
He wanted to ride a horse and lead his flying soldiers to roam the Xiongnu land again, so that the Xiongnu people who were beaten to shit ten years ago knew that their great father Li Mu was back.
"If it really happens again, it won't be ten years."
