Great Qin Shi Empress

Naturally, Fusang's own military strength cannot be compared with Qin's, but it is not so easy to win this place.

The main reason is that ordinary ships are difficult to reach.

But after the ship was invented, finding Fusang became a relatively simple matter, and once the person was found, it became extremely simple to take him down.

For Qin, it is not difficult to take it down, but how to govern it is difficult.

What Yingzheng did was...

Directly relocate all the local people to live and live in Qin State, and directly plant food, such as rice, etc. on that island.

After all, Lin Qian mentioned before that although Japan is small, the land is extremely fertile.

If rice is planted on it, very good yields can often be obtained.

Therefore, Fusang people had no choice but to move.

Fortunately, although there is indeed a king among the Fusang people today, it is not called Fusang at this time, but the Yamatai Kingdom, and its folk customs and ethnicity are also very different from those of the Fusang people of later generations.

When this group of Fusang people...ah no, after the Yamatai people landed and naturalized in Qin State, they soon learned the language of Qin State under the organization of local officials, and worked in the fields to make a living.

It may be because life is better today than in the past, so apart from the troubles caused by the language barrier, these Yamatai people settled down quickly and gradually integrated into the common people of Qin State. It becomes difficult to tell each other apart after intermarriage.

At this time, Qin was truly without any threat.

So Yingzheng dismissed most of the soldiers, leaving only a small number stationed in the passages connecting the Western Regions with Central Asia, as well as in places such as the Bering Strait.

After a large number of young and strong laborers were released back in Qin State, it quickly entered a stage of rapid development.

The first is the reform of coins.

The imperial court began to look for gold mines everywhere. After mining almost ten thousand catties of gold, it began to develop and issue banknotes with anti-counterfeiting marks across the country. At the same time, it issued the latest imperial decree to major newspapers—

The imperial court will completely abolish Qin Banliang in ten years, and replace Qin Banliang with banknotes within ten years.

Of course, the imperial court also published the appearance of the banknotes and all the anti-counterfeiting marks on the newspaper: watermarks, gold threads, color changes and other anti-counterfeiting technologies used on banknotes by later generations. As long as the current technology can be made, Yingzheng will use all of them. on the banknotes.

At the same time, the imperial court opened many banks across the country.

If people want to exchange Qin Banliang into banknotes as soon as possible, they can go directly to the bank to exchange.

But because this matter involves all the savings of the whole family, it is definitely impossible for the common people to change obediently at the beginning——

This has nothing to do with whether the people trust the court, but the people's ability to resist risks is too small to take risks easily.

Fortunately, the imperial court had already anticipated this situation and specially reserved ten years.

And within ten years, what the court needs to do is to build more power stations across the country as soon as possible——

With the help of alchemists from the Mohist School and the Institute of Chemistry, as well as more and more students graduating from the school, the generators and the machines and equipment for storing and transmitting electric energy have basically been developed, and now they just need to be put into production.

At the beginning, Ying Zheng was willing to build schools and train talents nationwide at a loss. His original purpose was actually to train more talents who could govern the country.

But after the students of the school gradually graduated from the school, he discovered that most of these students actually hoped to enter the Mohist School and the Institute of Chemistry, or even the agricultural and medical schools that study biology, etc. Students who wanted to be officials in the court Not so much.

However, because there are enough students in the school, and some people graduate from it every year, the lack of personnel in the imperial court has been alleviated after all.

On the contrary, these unexpected talents gave Yingzheng a very, very big surprise after graduating from school and entering Mohism and other departments.

The first is the emergence of various electrical appliances.

The electric light is just one of them. The telegraph, telephone, real movies, etc. have also come out in the hands of these students, although they still cannot be popularized nationwide...

Can't spread it across the country?

Lin Qian finally realized the biggest problem——

Under the official mountain and sea policy, all the natural resources of the entire Qin State belonged to the imperial court, the mountains and forests belonged to the imperial court, the sea belonged to the imperial court, and naturally the minerals also belonged to the imperial court.

Therefore, anyone who wants to use minerals, especially metal minerals, must obtain the consent of the court.

Because metal can make weapons, and weapons will bring threats to Qin's rule and more turmoil and trouble.

As soon as Ying Zheng ruled the world, he confiscated all the weapons in the world and built twelve bronze men. Naturally, he could not agree to allow metal to flood Qin.

And as long as metals, coal, etc. are restricted, it is impossible for various inventions today to be popularized on a large scale.

If the invention cannot be popularized, then the group of people who make the invention will most likely not get enough remuneration, and without remuneration, their initiative may be hit, then...

The real industrial revolution may never come.

Today's technological explosion may be just a flash in the pan.

Lin Qian found Ying Zheng.

After listening to Lin Qian's words, Ying Zheng said frankly: "Under the current circumstances, it is impossible for the widow to relax the restrictions on metals, especially the steel that can be used to make weapons. What happened, no one knows."

Lin Qian actually understood Ying Zheng very well, or she actually guessed the result——

Since the Guanshanhai policy was put forward, it has not been removed from the laws of various dynasties for more than 2000 years. Even in New China, there is no so-called Guanshanhai policy. Various industries that may threaten the foundation of the country It is the same with resources and so on that private individuals should not be allowed to intervene. To some extent, it is just a variant of Guan Shanhai's policy.

She was just a little regretful, if it continued like this, the great situation that had finally come about now might be ruined in a short time.

Ying Zheng is also aware of Lin Qian's thoughts, but it is impossible for him to deal with such a major matter of national governance because of...

wrong……

Ying Zheng looked at Lin Qian: "The widow suddenly remembered something. In your previous life and even the country where the modern host you contacted, didn't you realize how dangerous it is for the people to have unlimited access to steel and other metals?"

Lin Qian's eyes were a little erratic: "Of course the government will also restrict the appearance of controlled knives."

Yingzheng raised his eyebrows: "Except for the control of knives? Forget about kitchen utensils, there is no metal on all kinds of electrical appliances? Isn't a bicycle metal? And the four-wheeled car that I have seen before, is it not metal?"

Modern technology is highly developed, and various metals are bound to flood.

Yingzheng does not believe that there are no people in modern society who are dissatisfied with the country and the government. Among these people, there will be no one who wants to "revolt". With metal everywhere, if the government has no other countermeasures , he doesn't believe in modern society...

For some reason, he suddenly remembered the "policeman" who appeared once in the finale of a modern TV series he had watched, and captured the villain.

If I remember correctly, the policeman once escaped from his waist with a strangely shaped thing that looked like a weapon and pointed it at the villain?

That thing seems to be called...

Wooden warehouse?

Ying Zheng looked at Lin Qian: "Modern weapons must be different from today's, right?"

Lin Qian smiled sheepishly, and finally nodded: "It's really different, and it can even be said that there is no similarity at all. The weapons we use now are called cold weapons, but modern times are already in the era of hot weapons."

One is cold and the other is hot, and people can already know how big the difference is.

Ying Zheng blinked: "Hot weapons?"

Lin Qian glanced at Ying Zheng: "The basis of hot weapons is fire and medicine."

Ying Zheng understood instantly.

He raised his head after pondering for a while, and said with a smile: "Can we exchange weapon designs with Hyundai? As long as the imperial court's military force is better than that of the civilians, any accidents can be controlled. Relax the policy of officials, mountains and seas, and make the use of coal and steel more relaxed. It's not okay either."

In the final analysis, the implementation of the Guanshanhai policy is to maintain the rule of the court. If there is a better way to maintain the rule, it is not impossible for Yingzheng to relax the restrictions.

Can make Qin country better, will Ying Zheng refuse?

Lin Qian was silent.

Ying Zheng was stunned, and looked at Lin Qian suspiciously: "Do you have any concerns?"

Lin Qian looked up at Ying Zheng, hesitated for a while and then said, "I can't say I'm worried, it's just...the family rule system in the feudal era is too unstable."

Ying Zheng's expression was blank for a moment, then he frowned: "You don't believe me?"

He was a little unhappy.

Even gave birth to a little anger.

Lin Qian said, "It's not that I don't believe in you, I just don't believe in your successor. Ying Zheng, you can't live forever, you can't control this empire forever, and you can't guarantee that every emperor after you will be a good emperor." .”

Ying Zheng fell into deep thought.

For some reason, Ying Zheng suddenly thought of the child who had been killed by Lin Qian——

The one who is said to kill Fusu after his death, the ministers loyal to Qin and his brothers and sisters, and cause the death of Qin II... Hu Hai.

But after all, he only heard about the child's countless "accomplishments" from Lin Qian's heart voice, and he didn't feel deeply about it.

So, he thought of that group of useless princesses and sons again.

Ying Zheng: "..."

but……

Yingzheng wants the country he built to be passed on for a long time. Even if the descendants are ineffective, he can't give up a method that might make the country he built more stable just because the descendants may treat the people badly. .

Even if he has no affection for his offspring, he cannot do this.

Because the country of Qin was not brought down by him alone. He saved enough foundation under the circumstances that Qin's ancestors worked hard for generations and did not dare to make a big mistake. Only then did he manage to rule the world and win The current layout.

Yingzheng needs to be responsible to this country, as well as to his ancestors.

But obviously, Lin Qian didn't think so.

Although Yingzheng herself is good enough, because she wants to improve the lives of the people, and because she is also a Chinese, she has not hesitated to use her golden fingers to help Yingzheng, the people, and the country to become stronger, but Lin Qian herself has a great deal of respect for feudalism. society……

In fact, I don't like it very much.

Even if this feudal society was created by Ying Zheng, even if this society looks very good now, even better than Lin Qian's previous life in some aspects, she can't help but think, what if a certain emperor who succeeds later will be What should I do with Hu Hai's brutal and unkind personality?

In today's world, Qin State can almost be called the strongest in the world. If it has hot weapons... It is not an exaggeration to say that it is invincible, and it will really not develop into...

A world like steampunk?

At that time, will the people still be able to rebel against the imperial court through an uprising?

The thoughts of the two went in two completely opposite directions. After looking at each other, they immediately understood each other's meaning.

Neither of them is the kind of person who likes to quarrel or mess around, so after understanding each other's thoughts, they didn't argue, but chose to ignore and temporarily put it aside.

Ying Zheng didn't ask Lin Qian again if he could trade thermal weapons from the modern host, and Lin Qian didn't stop him from going to the group of alchemists from the Mohist School and the Institute of Chemistry to study thermal weapons with gunpowder.

So, what's the final result... Resigned to fate?

Lin Qian originally thought so.

But in the end, I couldn't get over the hurdle in my heart, and finally I took the initiative to find Ying Zheng: "Even if there are hot weapons, once the people really reach the point where they can't go on, they will still try their best to resist. The world is really There is no such thing as dynasties and families that can rule forever."

Even in a steampunk world, the final main theme of the ruler will only be overthrown, not for a long time.

"If you really want to last long, you can actually adopt a constitutional monarchy." Lin Qian looked at Yingzheng, "Only a constitutional monarchy can allow the royal family or the royal family to exist for a longer period of time."

[Modern society is not without royal families that have existed for more than a thousand years, and there are quite a few such existences.But after the modern age with the rapid development of science and technology, all of them were basically destroyed. Among the remaining dynasties, the ones with real power in their hands were either religious countries, or... countries with no real power in the hands of the royal family. 】

Lin Qian looked at Ying Zheng: "If you can't guarantee that every ruler of Qin State is a wise king, it's best to limit the emperor's rights from the very beginning, so that the rule of Qin State and Ying family is good for the people..."
