Chapter 260
The reason why I want to say this is because it is very simple to gain the hearts of the people. It is enough to let the people have enough food, but it is not enough to make the people recognize that the ruler has enough food. It also needs to provide enough upward channels.

Only if the people see hope, the people will support all the decisions of the monarch. Once this is reached, it is no longer empty talk that I am the country and I am the world.

An emperor who has the full support of the people does not need to worry about the ulterior motives of the civil and military officials below, because they have already mastered the ability to "turn the table" at any time.

Even if all the civil and military officials and the harem rebelled, as long as the emperor walked up to the city wall and raised his arms, at least half of the soldiers in the army would immediately turn around and attack the rebels, and the people below would consciously defend the emperor. rule.

Without him, although the people are ignorant, once they encounter something that is actually related to their own interests, they will not hesitate to raise their weapons and kill those who want to take away their dream life.

Only a few people in history can do this kind of thing. Qin Shihuang was able to do this to this extent in the early stage. However, when the Qin State wiped out the six kingdoms, the Qin Army lost the goal of drawing the sword, and the side effects of the military merit and land system began to bite back. Qin State.

In addition, Yingzheng is still conscripting labor, building the Great Wall, expanding the Qin Zhidao, building the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, the Afang Palace, etc...

This led to the death of Ying Zheng, and the extremely powerful Qin State burst like a bubble.

Because the old Qin people, the "foundation" of the Qin State, were disheartened and no longer supported the Qin State, the Qin army was defeated again and again, and the Qin capital Xianyang was destroyed in raging fire.

The second person who can achieve what the people want is Liu Heng, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty. Liu Heng is the key to the transformation of the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu. But his life is no different from that of ordinary people.

It is said that when Liu Heng came to Chang'an to ascend the throne, his clothes were still covered with patches, which shows that his usual living conditions were not that good.

Liu Hengneng stood out from a group of Liu's children and ascended to the supreme throne, many of whom were acting kings.

At that time, Zhou Bo and others wanted to choose a descendant of the Liu family to become the emperor after eradicating the Lu family. After much consideration, they finally chose Liu Heng, the weakest, most inconspicuous and weakest acting king. They thought they could Suppressing Liu Heng to control the government, but he didn't know that Liu Heng had a strategy in his chest, and everything before was just his disguise.

After ascending the throne, Liu Heng immediately tore off the previous weak and predictable disguise, and began to rectify the imperial court. When everyone realized, the "leader" of the people, Taiwei Zhou Bo, had been imprisoned, and all the military power was in Liu Heng's hands. The possibility of another comeback.

During Liu Heng's reign, the Xiongnu invaded many times. Emperor Wen of Han was deeply aware of the suffering of the Huns, so he began to try his best to accumulate people's strength and train cavalry.

After the two emperors, Emperor Wenwen and Emperor Hanjing, made great efforts to govern, it was only then that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty attacked the Huns in the north and completely broke the backbone of the Huns.

Under the influence of Li Ming, Ying Zheng gradually began to pay attention to the people at the bottom. Even though the Qin State has not yet unified the world, Ying Zheng has already begun to plan for the future.

The Great Wall still needs to be repaired, without him, the Great Wall in Qin State is not used for defense, but more for active attack.

With the cover of the Great Wall, the Qin army could attack from all sides of the grassland. The long Great Wall defense line was their best backing. The beacons on the Great Wall not only served as early warning, but also acted as a beacon, preventing them from losing their way when retreating.

The smoke rising into the sky is the best "lighthouse". When retreating, they only need to walk in the direction of the rising smoke to successfully return to the foot of the Great Wall, where there are food and water sources prepared long ago for them to enjoy.

Qinzhi Road, railway tracks and other equipment related to people's livelihood and that can greatly enhance national power must also continue to be built.

However, the people who build these equipment need to change. They can no longer conscript labor and let ordinary people build it, as in history, even the people of the other six countries cannot do the same.

With the land of Sanqin as the center, there are countless barbarians living in the four directions of the southeast, northwest, and these people are the best source of labor.

These people are only qualified to become a "glorious" citizen of Great Qin, etc...

Backed by the strong national strength of the Qin State, and the generous treatment of the domestic people as a temptation, the surrounding countries took the initiative to attach themselves, and of course they had to pay a price to become a glorious citizen of Great Qin.

It is impossible to let them listen to the tune and not listen to the propaganda like in history, and run to the Central Plains with some "garbage" every year in exchange for a large amount of "gifts in return".

As for those disobedient countries, Qin's tiger and wolf masters will naturally have to deal with them. What's more, the life of Qin is not comparable to them anyway.

You know, it was better in the south in ancient times. A small country in the north would have a large number of people die every winter. If food reserves were insufficient in autumn, the number of people who died in winter would multiply, especially the Yi and Xianbei people living in the northeast. This is especially true for the hunting peoples, that is, the Wei Dynasty of North Korea has a city wall to rely on, and the winter days can be slightly easier.

However, the good days of North Korea are running out. With Li Ming's intentional mention, Ying Zheng has long noticed this small country in the east.

Especially when I heard from Li Ming that although the climate there is abnormally cold and only one season of crops can be planted each year, the land is extremely fertile. The harvest of just one season is enough to compare with the harvest of two seasons in the Central Plains, and there are several fishes that can provide countless fish every year. the great river.

In these big rivers, there are a large number of migratory fish every year. In the peak period, people can even step on the back of the fish to cross the river. It is conceivable that the number is huge.

It is said that the Yi people only use their hands to catch each year, and a child can catch a few stone fish a day. They named this river Heishui River, and called the fish that appear in the river every year as the gift of the gods.

When he first heard Li Ming talk about this, Ying Zheng still didn't believe it. He had only heard of fish swimming down the river. Even if there were fish swimming upstream, they were only a few. How had he ever heard of fish swimming upstream? Every year, large numbers of humans swim upstream from the sea to lay eggs.

However, with Li Ming's explanation, Ying Zheng gradually believed that such miraculous fish really existed in the world.

According to Li Ming's words, the Northeast land, the black soil so fertile that oil can be squeezed out by hand, the ginseng hidden in the continuous mountains, the salmon that goes upstream to spawn every year, etc...

All these made Ying Zheng yearn for that land. If these are true, then this place must be included in the territory of Qin and cannot be wasted in the hands of barbarians...
