Zhang Liang did not stay long, and it was agreed that he would come with his two senior brothers from Xiaoshengxian Village tomorrow. However, that night they went to see Xun Kuang.
As a veteran of Xiaoshengxian Village, Xun Kuang was knowledgeable and profound in martial arts. He was silent for a long time when he looked at Zhang Liang's "Real Map of the World".
Zhang Liang had a photographic memory and memorized the world map in detail.
Xun Kuang finally sighed and said: "I'm afraid that the great master's plan is not trivial. This plan may mean that the world will never have peace." He was afraid that the Emperor of Qin had also seen this plan, and when the time came, the emperor waved his hand and wanted to lead the country.
"Bin is not the imperial land," it means another conquest and war.
"Uncle, what do you mean is that the Emperor of Qin is still dissatisfied with his own country?" Senior Brother Fu Nian asked.
"Which king doesn't want more land?"
The teacher’s thoughts persuaded him to give up the idea of opening up new territories and expanding his territory.”
The three of them nodded. They also knew that the people were tired now and they really couldn't do anything about it.
The next day, the three of them came to the Grand Master's residence as promised and met the Grand Master. Dulan was also very polite and prepared eight dishes and one soup.
Waste, waste, how can anyone be so extravagant and prepare so much food these days, but it is really delicious.
"The Grand Imperial Master is indeed polite, but Grand Imperial Master, do you know how many people there are in Songhai City now?" Fu Nian couldn't bear to see such sumptuous dishes, so he spoke.
"I know you people like to talk sense. There are 14,673 households in Songhai City, with a population of almost 100,000. It is a big city on the coast of the East China Sea."
"What the Great Imperial Master said is correct, then the Great Imperial Master knows that five years ago, the population of Songhai City reached 150,000, and it was the pearl of Qilu." Fu Nian's words are obvious. It is because of the tyranny that the population of Songhai City has dropped sharply.
It's already so miserable, but you are so luxurious, you are simply seeking death.
Dulan naturally understood and nodded slightly: "I didn't come to Daqin five years ago, so I naturally didn't know the grand situation of Songhai City, but Mr. Fu Nian doesn't have to worry. As long as everything goes well, Songhai City will become the center of the world.
People from all over the world will gather in Songhai City. One hundred thousand or two hundred thousand is not a problem. I predict that Songhai City will have a population of one million and become the capital of the world."
...Fu Nian found that Dulan understood, but he avoided the important and ignored the light. Moreover, Dulan's words also proved his ambition. It sounds perfect for people from all over the world to come to Songhai City, but how to do it? How to do it? If you do it, it will be a waste of people and money.
.
"Does the Grand Master want to conquer the world?" Fu Nian asked seriously: "But you want to point your sword at the world's territory?"
Dulan looked at Fu Nian: "I don't want to be angry, but I just realized that your current knowledge is too short, and you don't even know that there is a sky outside the world. I just hope that you can discover it, communicate with different civilizations, and understand the world.
big."
"..." Does the Grand Master think about the people in this way?
Fu Nian continued: "Even traveling across the Qin Dynasty would cost a lot of money. With the current situation of the country, do you think it is feasible to travel around the world?"
"I let him do it, even if he doesn't," Dulan said domineeringly.
The three of them looked at each other secretly, knowing that they might not be able to convince the Grand Master. The Grand Master was determined to discover the New World and travel around the world.
But today's scholars still have backbone. Yan Lu stood up and said: "Does the great master have all the people in the world in his heart?"
"No." Du Lan blocked the other party's words: "The world is unkind and treats all things as suckers."
"That is because Laozi believes that everything in the world is equal before the law of heaven. Kings and commoners, nobles and peasants are all the same. It is a warning to kings not to treat their own people differently." Zhang Liang explained: "Great Master, please
Don't misinterpret Lao Tzu's meaning, it does not mean that all people in the world are stupid dogs."
"Of course I know, so in addition to oppressing the people, I will also oppress the officials from top to bottom of the Qin State and the supreme emperor. I will kill anyone who dares not to listen to me, and the First Emperor is no exception."
hiss--
Taking a breath of air, such a desperate and rebellious speech came from the mouth of the Imperial Master who was deeply trusted by King Qin?! It was unbelievable. The three of them secretly exchanged glances, thinking that either the Great Imperial Master was crazy, or the Great Imperial Master was this.
I told them on purpose.
Du Lanxin said that they must have been frightened, so he laughed: "I'm kidding, the world is constantly suffering from ills. You are all well-educated people in poetry and literature. You should enter the Qin Dynasty as officials to serve the country at the top and the people at the bottom, and yourself in the middle."
Although you have great ambitions, why do you only want to be a teacher?"
...The three of them could no longer keep up with Dulan's pace. Fu Nian said: "We are all idle clouds and wild cranes, and have no intention of becoming an official."
Du Lan looked at them with a smile: "You don't have the ambition to be an official, but it doesn't mean that you don't have the people of the world. What you said before and what Zhang Zifang did shows that you have the people in your heart, but you don't have the people of Qin in your heart."
These words were very serious. The three of them were thinking about how to respond, and then they heard Dulan say: "In the past, the kings of Zhou divided the kingdoms, and there were 13 big countries and 17 small countries. Over the past hundred years, five hegemons and seven heroes have been replaced, and wars have continued. Now the first emperor rules the world.
, a unified system, with books and carriages on the same track, people all over the world can communicate through writing even if they have different dialects, allowing merchants to easily buy and sell using only one currency, reducing intermediate links. Building the Great Wall in the north and defending Baiyue in the south are all for the sake of the world.
There is peace, but the old aristocrats of the Six Kingdoms are bent on rebelling against Qin and rekindling the war for their own status. The emperor has no people in his heart, so do the nobles of the Six Kingdoms have people in their hearts?"
If the First Emperor heard what Dulan said, he would definitely change his opinion of Dulan. Unfortunately, only three people heard what Dulan said.
Hearing that Du Lan only talked about the achievements of the First Emperor and not his shortcomings, Zhang Liang said: "But it is an indisputable fact that Qin's laws are strict and big projects such as Epang Palace and Lishan Mausoleum were built for the emperor's enjoyment."
"That's why the emperor needs talents like you to persuade and guide." "But you don't care about relieving the country's worries. You only want to restore the old country and reverse the course of history. Your intentions are to be punished."
... Reversing history? This is the first time I heard this metaphor.
"Everyone in the world says that the Qin Dynasty is a tiger and a wolf, extremely cruel. Your six kingdoms were destroyed because of Qin's cruelty, but you don't think about the internal problems of your own country. The one who destroyed the six kingdoms is not Qin. Qin is good at war, that's
Because through the war, civilians have a way to rise, and what about your six countries? Nobles will always be nobles, and civilians will always be civilians. Do princes and generals have any kind of relationship? It’s you people who have blocked the way for civilians to rise, so that civilians don’t want to do anything for them.
The Six Kingdoms fight to the death, because for them, although Qin is terrible, they can gain status as long as they fight for Qin. Fighting for the Six Kingdoms has no other benefits except not being governed by Qin's laws. Besides, the laws of the Six Kingdoms are not much lighter than those of Qin.
.Do you think so?"
"You are talking nonsense and violating ancestral rites." Fu Nian would never agree with Dulan's words.
"Haha, a few days ago I just taught civilians how to read, and your students came to me aggressively, demanding theory." "Aren't these the students you taught? Are any of them from civilians? I'm afraid they are all
It’s because of the noble bloodline.”
This time the three of them were silent, because they had to admit this, no one would like their status to be challenged.
"The biggest problem of the Qin State now is not the Qin Law, nor the requisitioning of civilians, but that there is no battlefield, the people have no way to rise, and they have no chance to change their destiny. Therefore, outward expansion is the best way. Of course, I still
We are preparing to open the imperial examination so that everyone can study. As long as they pass the examination, they can enter the imperial court and serve as officials." Dulan expressed his thoughts, and then he looked at the three guests: "What do you three think?"
What Dulan said seems to make sense, but what Great Qin needs now is to resume production, otherwise the country will perish. The prerequisite for success is to survive, but this does not prevent Dulan and the ancient masters from bragging.
