"Your Majesty, this plan for the battle to unify the world should have been discussed with the important ministers and several generals in the court. But since the king wants to listen, let's talk about it for now.
The previous launch of the Puyang and Nanyang wars had destroyed the main battle armies of South Korea and Wei, and our army also suffered heavy losses. Xiong Han seized this opportunity to destroy South Korea and take over all the land in South Korea.
I used a strategy to gain the population and support of the people in Korea. Xiong Han actually rewarded all the land in Korea to the clans without hesitation. With the support of the major clans, this strategy had little effect. It can be seen that our Qin State is currently in the world.
Public sentiment is not optimistic.
In the few years planned in this foreword, our country, Daqin, will suspend war and recuperate, which is the beginning of winning the hearts and minds of the people of the world."
"Huh! Sir, you are indeed confident. I am willing to hear the details." Ying Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. Lu Yan did not disappoint him. He indeed had a way to solve the problem of people's support.
"Now the new agricultural tools built by public transporters are being tried out. The results are very fast and can be seen during the spring planting season. The large canal built with the help of public transport machinery is expected to be completed in four to five years. By then, Guanzhong will become a
Fertile soil and fertile fields; all the cropping knowledge brought back from the farmers has been handed over to the field officials, who are currently studying and studying. Presumably, although there will not be huge progress in the next few years, it is definitely possible to improve the seeds and increase the yield.
Arrived.
It can be predicted that when the canal is completed, the production efficiency, productivity, and output of our country's grain will reach a new level. Other countries will surely follow suit. Our country of Qin has been recuperating and recuperating in the past few years. People all over the world will envy peace and praise the King of Qin for his concern.
People’s livelihood, kindness and love for others.”
At first Ying Zheng was listening with great interest, but the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong. He asked suspiciously: "Sir, I can understand how to win the hearts of the people. But if you haven't participated in the war in recent years, is it a trick on me? Then Xiong Han destroyed Wei, should I?
Are you turning a blind eye too?"
Lu Yan was not surprised by his reaction, so he changed the question, "Your Majesty, what do you think of Xiong Han's attempt to disrupt my plan to take in refugees this time?"
"The way to create chaos was to reward the clan with all the territory of South Korea. The clan became stronger again, which did him no good at all..."
As Ying Zheng was talking, he stopped. Yes, why did Xiong Han do it without any hesitation?
Soon, he figured out the link, "So, Xiong Han's approach does have some merit. If I attack Chu, the clan will fully support a fight to the death."
Lu Yan nodded, "Yes. On the contrary, if I stand still, people's minds will change, and the relationship between Xiong Han and the clan will not be so harmonious."
"Yeah~ That makes sense."
"With such great benefits, the clan will soon persuade Xiong Han to send troops to attack Wei. Zhao, Yan, and Qi will not sit back and watch Wei's demise."
Ying Zheng rushed to say: "This is a good opportunity to attack Chu. I call on all countries to jointly attack Chu and cripple it, so that we, the Qin Dynasty, can unify the world and clear the way."
Lu Yan shook his head in disapproval, "Your Majesty, I discussed this plan with Mr. Liao yesterday, but I still don't know that the people of Da Qin are not in favor with me. Now that I know, this plan should also be changed.
If I issue a call, both Yan and Qi will lead me to attack Chu, but this may not be the case for Zhao."
"Zhao Guo? You mean Zhao Yan..." Ying Zheng thought of the current Zhao Wang Yan. He was not an easy person to deal with.
"Yes, King Yan of Zhao has always regarded the king as a great enemy, and is always thinking about weakening our Qin State. After the defeat of Chu State, the land of South Korea and the land of Wei State will only fall into my hands. The king feels that Zhao
Will Wang Yan let me get such a big benefit?
At that time, in the battle against Chu, Qin Yanqi will fight against Zhao Chu, and the strength of Yan Qi can be almost ignored. Our Qin State fights against Zhao State and Chu State at the same time, even if it wins, it will not gain anything. The people are not attached to Fei
What's the use of coming here?"
Ying Zheng continued along this line of thinking, "If Qin keeps a low profile and does not participate in the war against Chu, although Zhao Yanqi does not want Chu to annex Wei, he will not dare to resist and can only sit back and watch.
Based on the situation in the Chu State, Xiong Han could still only grant land from the Wei State to the clans. The Chu State seemed to be growing in strength, but in fact the royal power was weakening. Under such circumstances, Xiong Han would never sit back and watch the clan grow, and civil strife would inevitably occur in the country.
.”
Lu Yan also made a special reminder, "Your Majesty, don't forget the influence of the Yin Yang family in Chu."
"Haha, if sir hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten that next time I will call Master Yueshen to discuss matters regarding Chu State.
The Chu State seems to be strong, but in fact, every step is under control. The biggest role of Xiong Han, a tool man, is to temporarily take over the Han and Wei Dynasties for me, and survive the most painful years after the country's collapse. Our Daqin has cultivated people who value
The good reputation of the people's livelihood will then bring a better life to the people of Han and Wei, and the people's hearts will be easily won, and there will be no worries."
A look of imagination appeared on Ying Zheng's face. This annoying problem of popular support finally had a solution.
Lu Yan saw King Qin's face and knew that the other party had got the answer he wanted, "With Han Wei as an example, even though they are people who have subjugated their country, the king can regard them as the people of Qin, protect their production and life, and provide them with the same
The room for them to rise. Only in the minds of the people of the remaining countries will the idea that Qin is good come to mind. At this point, the hearts of the people in the world are already in my hands."
Ying Zheng stood up and laughed: "Cai! Sir, your saying that the benevolent is invincible is much better than your Confucian predecessor Mencius."
Of course Lu Yan studied Mencius's theory of statecraft critically, but his level of cultivation was indeed much higher than his. So he said modestly, "Compared with the level of Mencius's predecessors, I am still far behind."
"Master once said that we, Qin, will compete with the other six kingdoms for the world, only in Han and Wei. With Master's benevolent and invincible strategy, after the completion of the canal, the land of Han and Wei, and the hearts of the people will all belong to me, so why worry about the world being unstable?!
The State of Zhao fell in one battle; the State of Yan was vulnerable; the State of Chu had no time to take care of itself; and the State of Qi was corrupt and weak. In this way, the ambitions of the ancestors of the Qin Dynasty were finally fulfilled in the hands of a few people!
Sir, please pay me your respects."
Ying Zheng suddenly stood up and gave a big salute, which made Lu Yan a little confused.
"I would like to worship you as a captain of the country, so that I can plan for the unification of the Qin Dynasty."
What? Guowei?
Lu Yan's current official position in Zheng'er Ba Jing is Tai Tu, which has a very high status. He is in charge of the formulation and distribution of etiquette and laws, and can teach the king or the prince.
Coupled with his special status among the King of Qin, Lu Yan had a strong influence in the Qin court.
The position of Guowei is the highest official position in charge of the military. Lu Yan himself has already determined what he will do in the future. After the grain production capacity is increased, he will start to promote education and reform the civil service system. This seems to be similar to Guowei's position.
Function has nothing to do with it...
Then I thought about it, when he started to reform education and the civil service system, he was just poking a hornet's nest. It would definitely be different if he had soldiers in his hands.
Moreover, that Wei Liao is his rival. What if he becomes someone else if he doesn’t want it?!
Thinking of this, Lu Yan did his best, "I will certainly live up to your Majesty's high expectations."
