Xianqin Multiverse Empire

This also made the ministers realize that Ying Zheng is not a mean and ungrateful guy.It's just that it's a bit stricter, and it's no big deal to obey the Qin law.

Chapter 8: Never Die Alone, Never Die an Empire

In the study room, Ying Zheng looked at the historical records in his hand, and a question came to his mind again - why did the Qin Dynasty die in the second generation?

This issue has been discussed in all dynasties. People in the Han Dynasty thought it was a problem with the system. The Qin Dynasty just couldn’t do it, fundamentally, not anywhere!

Although the Han inherited the Qin system, and although the system of the Han Dynasty was very similar to that of the Qin Dynasty, this is how the Han Dynasty officially recognized it.

However, the views of the dynasties and dynasties after the Han Dynasty were similar to those of the Han Dynasty.

Tyrant Qin will die!

fixed question!

In modern time and space, Ying Zheng also consulted the opinions of many experts and scholars, and finally he also consulted the opinions of the majority of sand sculpture netizens.

Some people think that Hu Hai was a big fool, so Qin Dynasty II died.If Fusu is replaced, no matter how bad the Qin Dynasty is, it will be able to occupy Guanzhong and restore its status as one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period.Once Hangu Pass is closed, no one can get in.If you are lucky, you can pass on Daqin smoothly.

Some people think that Qin's laws are too strict and the people of the six countries can't bear it, so the Qin Dynasty fell.

Others believe that this is a backlash against the abolition of the enfeoffment system and the implementation of centralization.It was a 300-year dynasty if it was carried, and then the Qin Dynasty could not resist.

Of course, there are also some people with unique views who believe that this is the result of the self-collapse of the military merit system after losing its enemies.The old system collapsed, and the new system died before it was established.

Ying Zheng has carefully analyzed these reasons.When analyzing, he also carefully compared the various data of Daqin collected by Shaofu with the detailed situation of the whole world today.

In addition, he also carefully read all the history books of the later Han, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Republic of China, and modern times.

Then there was an answer in his heart: these points of view are all reasonable, but they are not complete, and they are all secondary reasons.The main reason is that I died, and I died too early.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng took a pencil and wrote eight big characters on the white paper, and the strokes in regular script were very correct--Who dares to oppose Qin if a widow is not dead?

After thinking about it, Ying Zheng wrote down two names—Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.

If the widows are not dead, would they still dare to rebel?

Don't dare, at most it's just fleeing.What's more, in terms of corvée, Qin Fa has never said that they will be beheaded if they miss the deadline. They are just corvée and not the army.

With one swipe, the names of the two were crossed out by Ying Zheng.Immediately afterwards, another name was written below - Xiang Yu.

If Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising can be regarded as the pioneer of the king, then Xiang Yu is the guy who directly caused the demise of the Qin Dynasty. He annihilated the main force of the Qin Dynasty.

Living alone, does he dare to rebel?

He guessed he was really daring, but his uncle Xiang Liang was not dead, so how could it be his turn to be the master of the house as a junior.

Do the remnants of the Six Kingdoms dare?

Zhang Liang, who is the most courageous, is also engaged in assassination, and Bo Lang strikes him.As for rebellion, those who have the courage have no strength, and those who have the strength have no courage.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng wrote the last name on the white paper, this time very hard - Liu Bang.

This guy was the one who overthrew Daqin and established a new dynasty.And his descendants are still black Qin to death.The same is true of the civil and military officials of the Han Dynasty, especially Sima Qian, who is a big black guy.

Never die alone, never die an empire.

Dong dong dong

Hearing the knock on the door, Ying Zheng returned to reality from his thoughts. When he looked at the door, his right hand shook slightly, and the white paper in front of him automatically turned into powder.

"It turned out to be sir, please come in and give me a seat."

After Wei Liaozi sat down, Ying Zheng came across from him.The two sat opposite each other, both sitting on cushions.In front of him was a small table with white paper, pencils and some related materials on it.

The Great Qin at this moment is completely different from the later generations.It is not only the monarch who chooses talents, but the real top talents also have the right to choose the monarch.

Therefore, when Liu Bang worshiped Han Xin as a general, he needed to build a special worship platform to show his sincerity.

And Wei Liaozi is the top strategist of this era. Compared with the two Guigu twin swords who only know how to hack and chop, they are more like Guigu's children.

"Mister's grandfather was Wei Guoguo, and his father was also Wei Guoguo. If there is no accident, Mr. Wei will still be Wei Guoguo. However, Mr. Wei gave up his status as Wei Guoguo and came to Daqin after being invited by Gu. happy."

In order to invite me, you sent eight sunflower guards and eighty evil spirit guards. With such great sincerity, can I not come?

"Haha, I'm just optimistic about Great Qin. My grandfather was a lieutenant of Wei for three generations. He was in charge of Wei's military, and he knows the Seven Kingdoms quite well. If there is any country that can rule the world, it can only be Qin."

"The world is determined to be one. This is the consensus of people with lofty ideals. But now, I am more optimistic about the king." Wei Liaozi said lightly, stroking his beard.

It's a pity that Zhang Liang, Prime Minister of the Five Dynasties Han, was not as enlightened as Wei Liaozi. Faced with Ying Zheng's invitation, he chose to refuse.

"What can you teach me, sir?"

"Given the strength of the Qin State, the princes are like the kings of counties and counties. What I worry about is that the princes will unite. They will unite to catch people by surprise. This is the reason why Zhibo, Fucha, and King Min perished."

"I hope that the king will not cherish the property and use it to bribe the powerful officials of various countries to disrupt their strategies. In this way, only 30 gold will be lost, and all the princes will be wiped out."

"As long as you do this, you just need to try your best not to make mistakes in the rest. With the national power of the Great Qin, if you don't make mistakes, and don't give the princes a chance to unite, the world will be settled."

"As for the more specific strategies for governing the country and the more detailed methods of governing the army, I will not discuss them in detail with your majesty. Generals, prefects, and county magistrates should know these things."

"What the king has to do is to grasp the overall situation, stand on a high place, stand at the forefront of Daqin to guide the direction, and set goals. Leave the rest to me, the prime minister, to Meng Ao, the Shangqing, and to Li Si, the young man. The government will do."

At this moment, Wei Liaozi was very firm, and at the same time was watching Ying Zheng, waiting for his response.

"Good, I think so too." Ying Zheng said with a smile.

In the history books recorded by later generations, the number of memorials I read every day was as many as several carts of bamboo slips. Coupled with my poor health, I fell ill directly from exhaustion, and later died of exhaustion.

Ying Zheng didn't want to experience this kind of future again.

"Sir, in order to unify the six countries, I will worship you as your prime minister, and I will entrust you with the important task of reforming the Great Qin Dynasty. Here are some of my requirements for you."

"If you can't meet these requirements, you can bring them up and we can discuss them. If you can, please ask sir."

"First of all, the army has to train every day. Three meals a day, full meals, at least one meat dish every two days, and soup every day. Officers..."

"Secondly, the common people have to eat enough. Near Xianyang, they have to eat three meals a day, and at least one meal of meat dishes every ten days..."

"In addition, there are fiscal and budgetary systems, the first five-year plan, road construction, population encouragement, encouragement of births, more rewards for more births. If you can't support them, you can give them to the imperial court, and the imperial court helps to raise them. More people are more powerful..."

Chapter 9: Wei Liaozi pays homage to Prime Minister

After listening to Ying Zheng's request, Wei Liaozi didn't directly answer yes or no, but began to think.

Even in the process of thinking, sometimes he would pick up a pencil to write and draw on the white paper, or look up the latest statistics of the Shaofu, but Ying Zheng didn't urge him, instead he picked up the teacup and began to drink tea slowly.

Even the method of tea and frying tea was introduced by Ying Zheng from other worlds.Probably this is the alternative heaven and world is the primary productive force.

Half an hour later, Wei Liaozi put down the pencil in his hand and said seriously: "Your Majesty is too anxious. Even if the development speed of Daqin in the next five years can maintain the trend of the past four years, or even grow on this basis, it will not be completed. His Majesty's request."

"Many requirements will take ten years or even 20 years to realize. Individual requirements may require a lifetime of hard work."

"Your Majesty's starting point is good, but it is too hasty. It is impossible to accomplish these magnificent goals within five years."

"Take the army as an example. Today's army exercises every three days and trains every five days. It is considered the most elite in the whole world. But even so, the consumption of the army has already accounted for [-]% of the imperial court's annual income."

"This is due to the increase in the income of the imperial court in recent years. If it is changed to training once a day, the amount of meat and grain needed will be amazing."

"Even if the king is willing to use the income of the Shaofu to support the court, the food can barely meet the requirements, but the meat shortage is extremely huge."

"Your Majesty, don't you think that you can train an elite army by only eating food and not meat?" Having said this, Wei Liaozi stopped and looked at Ying Zheng.

"Well, what else? Please point out any problems, sir. Maybe you can't solve the problem, but I can solve it alone." Ying Zheng said calmly.

Isn't it just meat? Daqin doesn't have it, so can other worlds not?

"The old minister can just talk about it casually, and the king should not be angry."

"The sources of meat are nothing more than chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep, and pigs, but the requirements for large-scale farming and free-range farming are completely different. Various factors are extremely complicated. It is by no means a decree from the imperial court. can be multiplied.”

"These orphans are understandable, what else?" Ying Zheng nodded.

"In terms of money, there is no problem for the time being with the new money minted by the Shaofu. There is not enough food. Since His Majesty wants to unify the world, no amount of food will be enough. Because the world will not be limited to Great Qin in the future, and the livelihood of the people of the six countries will also have to be Taking it into consideration, money alone is not enough..."

Unknowingly, this discussion came to the second day.At this time, Shaofu Ling Li Si and Shangqing Meng Ao also joined in.

Li Si's memory is excellent, and he has a photographic memory.He memorized all aspects of Daqin's data by heart, and would blurt it out as soon as he needed it, without hesitation.

As for Meng Ao, he has more experience and specializes in checking for leaks in the military's planning.All kinds of small details that seem inconspicuous but have a great impact were also raised by him one by one.

By the third day, the number of participants in this meeting had increased from four to nine from Ying Zheng.

At night, when the rest of the people had already left, Ying Zheng and Wei Liaozi sat under the steps together under the moonlight, making a final summary.

"Overall, there are many minor problems, but they can all be overcome. The biggest gap lies in grain. This year's grain deficit is 300 million shi, and in five years' time the grain deficit will reach tens of millions of shi."

"Yes, it's mainly the army's three meals a day, and the consumption of training every day is too great. Even if there is a Shaofu, plus Qin's past accumulation, it will last at most the first two years."

"Considering the farm officials in the Shaofu, even if they are a bit more optimistic, they will persist for at most three or four years in the case of good harvests every year, and they will definitely not persist for the fifth year." Wei Liaozi said.

"In addition to the food problem, the meat problem also needs to be solved urgently. Even if we go to the mountains to hunt and go to the river to catch fish, if we don't harm the root cause, we can only support the first two or three years?"

"Yes, meat and food are the biggest problems."

In short, the plan is good, but limited by meat and food, it is almost impossible to realize.Not to mention the large-scale construction of water conservancy and the consumption of building roads.In the final analysis, everything is a matter of eating and drinking.

"Sir, you don't need to worry, let's go according to the plan first. Reform as you want, and you are your biggest backer."

"Whether it's the sons of the clan, the descendants of nobles, or local tyrants, whoever dares to stop this reform is my enemy of Yingzheng, and whoever is my enemy of Great Qin."

Having said that, Ying Zheng untied the sword he was wearing around his waist, and pulled it out with a clang.

Under the moonlight, the gorgeous sword body shone with moonlight.Ying Zheng could even see his own face from the blade of the sword.

"The name of this sword is Tianwen. It is one of the most precious swords in the world. It is also the sword that Gu used to carry with him. Now it is a gift to Mr. When necessary, Mr. can hold this sword, cut first and then play."

"only!"

After seeing off Wei Liaozi, who was holding a sword in both hands, Ying Zheng took a look at the moon in the sky and knew that today was another all-nighter.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously stroked his hair. Fortunately, he was still young and able to hold on.

Half an hour later, Ying Zheng came to a secret research base in Shanglin Garden, which was still owned by the public loser.It's just not used to study artillery, but to study various advanced technologies related to life.

The previous chalk, blackboard, pencil, white paper, toilet paper, these inconspicuous little objects were first spread from here.

"How are the preparations?"

"My lord, everything has been prepared a long time ago." Gong Shuchou patted his chest and laughed.

Now he feels more and more that joining Daqin is such a correct move.This is the luck of the entire public loser, and also the luck of his public defeat.

In the past, even in his dreams, he never imagined that the public loser could get such great love from the empire.

"Look, my lord, these are woodblock printing and movable type printing made according to the king's secret code."

"Movable type is lead type. After having the secret code given by the king, these are very simple, but there are some minor problems."

"What's the problem?" Ying Zheng asked patiently.

"According to the secret book, movable type printing should be more convenient. However, in fact, woodblock printing is more convenient. I thought about it, and there should be some reasons."

"First, the number of literate people in Daqin is too small, and picking movable type is too time-consuming, and there are not enough people."

"Secondly, the number of books that Daqin needs to print now is relatively small, and the advantages of movable type printing have not been reflected at all."

"Third, if you were a congenital master doing it yourself, it would take no more than half an hour to make hundreds of completely different and excellent engravings without any typos."

And a high-quality engraving block is enough to print [-] books, which is extremely efficient.In this case, the efficiency of movable type is not as good as engraving.

"Well, I don't know about this matter. For the time being, we will mainly focus on engraving, and the movable type will be sealed first, and we will talk about it when it develops in the future."

"Next, you have to create a newspaper called Daqin Xunbao. The content on it is..."

Chapter 1: Xiao He

In the palace, Ying Zheng and Wei Liaozi sat facing each other.

It has been a month since Wei Liaozi paid homage to the chancellor. In this month, Wei Liaozi also has a more detailed understanding of Daqin, and the reform is about to start.

When I came here today, I specifically informed Ying Zheng that a big move is about to start. If there are no problems, I will start after I go back.

"Your Majesty, this is the upcoming examination."

"According to His Majesty's request, the examination is divided into three rounds. The first round has the simplest requirements. As long as you can write and recognize Qin characters, you can pass. After training, you can serve as a magistrate."

After the reform of the Qin State, officials across the country were divided into nine-rank officials and second-rank petty officials.

The bottom ones are naturally small officials like small shrimps. For example, the minions under the command of the pavilion chief who are responsible for local security are small officials, and the chief of the village is also at the level of small officials.

Although the petty officials are the most inconspicuous, they are the foundation for the empire to rule the Great Qin.Without them, it would be impossible for Daqin to exert its extremely powerful mobilization ability and ruling ability.
