Great Qin Shi Empress
Chapter 70 193~196
==·System·==
Lin Qian blinked, and smiled at Ying Zheng with a little guilt: "Did you hear it just now?"
Ying Zheng looked at her angrily: "You didn't hide it, why can't the widow hear it?"
Lin Qian reached out to Ying Zheng, grabbed the hem of his clothes and pulled it to her side. Seeing him sitting down, she leaned towards him and explained with a smile when she touched his arm: "If possible, I I really want to hide it from you."
Ying Zheng looked at her with raised eyebrows: "You still want to hide it from the widow?"
Lin Qian laughed: "After all, I'm worried that after you know that the industrial revolution may shake your own rule, you will want to stop the current development momentum."
As she said this, she looked at Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng thought for a while, and did not deny Lin Qian's conjecture, but he did not cut it across the board, but asked, "There have been two revolutions in the world where host No. [-] lives? Tell the widow what's going on."
Lin Qian paused, and nodded earnestly: "Sally participated in the revolution in the first country relatively high, and it can even be said that she promoted it alone. According to what Sally said, part of the reason why she funded those revolutionaries was because Personal enmity, she wants to take revenge on her father, who is a great nobleman, partly because of injustice, as a woman, she hopes to gain status and power by supporting another regime."
"But unfortunately, she failed and had to flee to other countries."
"The revolution in the second country has nothing to do with her. According to Sally, it is because of the class inequality in the second country. The decadent aristocratic class is in the torrent of history because of its stubbornness and unwillingness to accept new things. Falling behind in the middle and about to be eliminated, such as the big businessmen she turned to rely on technology to obtain a lot of money, but their status does not match their property."
"Someone is like the big businessman Sally traded with marrying a declining nobleman. The merchant gets power and status, and the declining nobleman gets money, which is considered mutual benefit; but there are also people who are unwilling or unable to do this, so they They can only gain status and power through other means, they have money and technology, and they can build advanced weapons, so seizing power has become the first choice.”
Ying Zheng nodded: "So the businessmen of the second country succeeded in overthrowing the regime?"
Lin Qian blinked, and stretched out a hand towards Ying Zheng: "It's still in progress. Sally found that the timing was wrong and wanted to trade some weapons with me just in case. Do you still have a dagger in your hand?"
Ying Zheng looked down at Lin Qian's white and tender palm, smiled, and grabbed her hand.
Lin Qian looked at him suspiciously.
Ying Zheng directly called a servant in and asked someone to fetch some daggers.
Lin Qian immediately sent it to Sally, and she received it quickly, and sent over some gold very quickly.
Ying Zheng ordered the gold to be put away, sent everyone out, and then looked at Lin Qian seriously: "The national revolution of the No. ? Similar things must have happened in the world of your previous life, so your heartbeat is that sentence."
Lin Qian paused, with a hesitant expression.
Ying Zheng approached Lin Qian and looked at her seriously: "Don't you believe me?"
Lin Qian was almost fascinated by the beauty, but fortunately he reined in at the last moment and didn't directly reveal everything he knew.
but……
[No way, you are the emperor after all, are you still engaging in beauty tricks? 】
Lin Qian stared at Ying Zheng incredulously, she couldn't believe it.
Ying Zheng retreated to his seat, and said calmly: "The widow just wants to get close to my wife, what does it have to do with the beauty trick?"
Lin Qian: "..."
She simply imitated Ying Zheng's movements and leaned directly in front of him.
Unexpectedly, when she was moving, Ying Zheng suddenly took her hand and leaned forward a little bit. Lin Qian was caught off guard and kissed Ying Zheng's lips directly.
Lin Qian blinked blankly, realized what had happened, bit Ying Zheng's lip angrily, then pushed him away and sat back beside him.
Ying Zheng raised his hand and touched his lips, a chuckle escaped from his throat.
Lin Qian glanced back at him.
Ying Zheng smiled, and put her hand on his lap.
Looking at the palms he and Lin Qian clasped together, Ying Zheng looked a little dazed: he used to not like to touch the skin, but for some reason, after communicating with Lin Qian, as long as he saw someone, He always liked to hold her hand.
Lin Qian didn't pay attention, and made a couple of upsets, seeing that Ying Zheng didn't let him go, he had no choice but to let him go.
The two fell silent.
The atmosphere would not make people feel awkward. Lin Qian felt that the two of them just sat together without saying anything or doing anything, which was actually very reassuring, but it was already bedtime, and the two of them just sat on the bed like this Rest seems silly again.
Lin Qian took a careful look at Ying Zheng: "Actually, it's useless to know the situation of those revolutions."
Ying Zheng came back to his senses: "How can it be useless to learn from other people's failures?"
Lin Qian thought for a while, and said, "Probably because it is inevitable? As long as society develops to a certain stage, this kind of thing cannot be avoided at all."
After a pause, she denied her statement again, "It doesn't seem to be completely useless..."
Ying Zheng looked at Lin Qian.
Lin Qian explained: "Because the set of centralized governance management you designed is too mature and effective, this system has never undergone major changes in the subsequent thousands of years of history, but has only undergone small-scale changes. Repair, waited until the last feudal dynasty, this system reached the peak of centralization in the hands of an emperor named Qianlong."
"However, because the whole world was undergoing dramatic earth-shaking changes at that time, and the emperor at that time was too short-sighted. Even though he had seen the high-tech products at that time and had exchanged letters with the queens of other countries that were undergoing changes, they all He didn't take it seriously, but after learning that a great revolution in other countries overthrew the rule of the royal family, in order to maintain the rule of his own nation, he did not choose to keep up with the changes in the whole world and carry out reforms. advanced knowledge from abroad.”
Ying Zheng didn't understand: "Isn't he worried that the country will fall behind and be attacked?"
During the hundreds of years of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, how many vassal states were destroyed because of their backward national power?
Ying Zheng couldn't understand this approach at all.
Lin Qian also disliked Qianlong very much, his eyes would get angry when he mentioned this person.
but……
Lin Qian sighed: "Although the country fell behind and was attacked by others, the rule of the Qing Dynasty has actually continued."
Qianlong is a very typical feudal monarch. The starting point of everything he has done is to maintain the rule of the Qing Dynasty, the rule of the Aixinjueluo family and his own rule. The people and the country's future are not within his consideration. .
Regardless of the final tragic result, Qianlong did achieve his goal.
In addition to Qianlong, there is actually another country whose royal family resisted this impact.
Lin Qian said: "After the Great Revolution, a revolution broke out in another country. But because the main initiators of this revolution were members of the royal family, and even the original heir and her powerful husband, so in the end Not only didn’t it cost a single soldier, didn’t hurt half of the lives, but also successfully saved the royal family, and he and his husband ascended the throne to rule the country together.”
Ying Zheng thought for a while and asked, "What does a constitutional monarchy mean?"
Lin Qian explained: "There are several types of constitutional monarchy, and I can't explain each situation to you clearly, but in most cases, in countries that implement constitutional monarchy, the kings have no real power. The mascot of a country, the real power rests in the hands of ministers."
Ying Zheng fell into deep thought.
Lin Qian couldn't help but moved closer to him: "What are you thinking now?"
Ying Zheng glanced at Lin Qian: "Why, I'm worried that the widow will take all the things you took out across the board?"
Lin Qian returned to her original position, her eyes wandering a little: "How could that be? If you really did this, wouldn't you be the same as that closed-door emperor? How could you do such a thing if you are so wise and powerful?"
As she spoke, she couldn't help but glance at Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng squeezed Lin Qian's hand amusedly, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "According to what you said, it is those big businessmen who really want to fight for power? If that's the case, I don't have to worry about it."
Lin Qian looked at him suspiciously: "Why? Because you have already moved the big businessmen from all over the country to Xianyang?"
After a pause, she suddenly remembered something——
Since the reform of Shang Yang, the state of Qin has been emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business. The compulsory labor stipulated by the law such as corvee service and military service for businessmen is much heavier than that of ordinary people.
In the past, the world was not unified and there was no way to track down everyone, which made people have a lot of loopholes, or the businessmen in other places were not under the jurisdiction of Qin Law at all. Apart from these big merchants who migrated to Xianyang, the Qin Dynasty no longer had the soil for big merchants to grow.
It's okay for the common people to do small businesses, but once the business becomes too big, there is a possibility that the government will change their household registration.
Compared with making money, life is naturally more important.
Just like Xiao who has entered the officialdom now, being a businessman has never been the first choice of ordinary people.
As long as the Qin Law's legal provisions on "emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business" remain unchanged, it is indeed unlikely that merchants will cause too much trouble in the Qin Dynasty.
After Lin Qian figured it out, she stopped worrying.
However, Ying Zheng thought over what Lin Qian said over and over again, and finally set his sights on the word "technology".
In addition to suppressing the status of merchants, it should also be important to master key technologies.
==·Poor Qin·==
Yingzheng immediately thought of the textile machine, which had never been popularized until now, and the steam engine that had just been researched.
There is even a "Science" textbook that has just been compiled.
If more people learn the knowledge in the "Science" textbook, will someone invent brand new things to earn more money and shake the rule of the Qin Dynasty?
But soon, he dismissed such thoughts.
However, Ying Zheng soon realized that even if someone got the drawings of the textile loom and the steam loom, or even cleverly understood how to make it, it would be useless——
The imperial court has opened garment workshops and textile factories in many places, and the price of clothes is quite low, and other factories are not competitive even if they want to open factories; as for the steam engine, there is no need to worry about the blueprint leaking out, because ordinary people have no access to it. From iron, the raw material for building steam engines, to the amines currently added to the Eucommia gum used for sealing.
The reason is simple: since Guan Zhong proposed "Guan Shan Hai", other vassal states immediately incorporated it into their laws.
The main content of this law is to hand over to the government the monopoly of the resources that can obtain and seek huge benefits and are closely related to people's livelihood in nature, and private ownership is not allowed——
In the past, the so-called "official mountains and seas" policy only controlled metals and salt.
However, after coal was widely used and the huge profits were known to the naked eye, Ying Zheng immediately included it under the legal jurisdiction of "Guanshanhai".
Coal mines are governed, as are copper and iron.
Even if you get the blueprint, what if you can't build it?
Again...
Thinking of the school that was still missing, Ying Zheng became more calm: the outstanding talents from the school will naturally serve him for the court.
……
Lin Qian gave Ying Zheng a tug: "It's time to rest."
Ying Zheng nodded, quickly blew out the candles and lay down to sleep without mentioning it.
Early the next morning, Lin Qian subconsciously opened the plane trader, and found that Hua had sent him a message early in the morning.
She glanced around and simply hid behind the screen.
After opening the plane trader, Lin Qian immediately heard Hua Xing's voice: "Lin Qian, Lin Qian, we have already contacted the people in the city to the south. They repelled the people, and agreed to let people from our two tribes live in that city, so we don’t have to worry about sleeping at night anymore!”
Lin Qian repeatedly typed to congratulate.
Hua has long been used to the fact that Lin Qian can't speak at any time, so she doesn't care at all: "I originally wanted to find you after I lived in the city, but didn't you ask before if there is a kind of cut tree near our tribe?" Is there a tree species that oozes white sap after its skin? We searched for a long time but couldn’t find it, thinking that there is no such thing in our world.”
After all, they are two different worlds. Even if many plants overlap, some of them must not overlap.
Lin Qian didn't find it strange.
But what Hua said obviously had a turning point.
Lin Qian pricked up his ears instantly.
Hua did not live up to her expectations: "I have always felt sorry for the forging method of the weapon I got from you this time, so when I was in contact with the people in that city, I asked them if there were any special plants around the city. Then they Just tell me, their city is next to a dense forest, and more than half of the trees in it are the kind of trees that can ooze white sap after the bark you mentioned!"
Lin Qian asked in surprise: "Are you sure there are rubber trees all around?"
Hua hesitated: "That's what they said, but the specific situation will not be known until we live in the city. But don't worry, we will definitely check whether that kind of tree is what you need as soon as we arrive at the destination. rubber tree."
Lin Qian was so happy: [If there are so many rubber trees in the world of flowers, wouldn't we not need to plant rubber trees and not be short of rubber? 】
On the other side of the screen, Ying Zheng frowned.
After Lin Qian and Hua finished speaking, she found that Ying Zheng's mood seemed not as high as before.
Lin Qian was a little puzzled: "What's wrong with you?"
Ying Zheng glanced at her and said seriously: "Since the rubber tree is so important, it's safer to hold it in your own hands."
This endless sentence...
Lin Qian paused, and instantly understood.
She said dumbfoundedly: "Isn't there no suitable place to plant rubber in the territory of the Qin Dynasty? Of course you can grow it yourself if you have the conditions, but it's okay to buy it directly from others if you don't have the conditions."
Ying Zheng didn't answer, and directly sent the person back to wash up.
After that, the two had breakfast together, and then they went to the meeting hall together.
Lin Qian was still pondering Ying Zheng's words in his heart, and he was always a little absent-minded when he went to court.
Ying Zheng took her reaction into his eyes, felt a little helpless, and simply asked the question he originally planned to ask after the business was settled: "How much food has the treasury saved now? I remember that there was a Dian Kingdom and Ye Ye near Shu County." Langguo, can the money and food in the treasury support the army to take it down?"
Lin Qian raised her head abruptly and looked at Ying Zheng in disbelief.
No wonder he said that in the morning, it turned out that it was because he had already made a plan in his heart to completely take down this place in Yunnan!
Although a little surprised, Lin Qian quickly accepted Ying Zheng's approach.
One is that these two countries will not last long and will be merged into the Chinese territory, and the other is that these two countries are simply not enough in front of Qin State. They are not the enemies of Qin State at all, and there is no need to stop them.
This Yelang country is the source of the idiom "Yelang is arrogant". It itself is a minority government country. Its land is mainly in Guizhou and Yunnan during its existence. It is not large in size and its national strength is not very strong.
The situation of the Dian Kingdom, whose land area is almost entirely within the scope of later generations of Yunnan, is even more embarrassing——
The country was founded by a general named Zhuang Qiao from Chu State. At that time, in 278 BC, King Xiang of Chu wanted to occupy and attack Yelang and Dian. Send Zhuang Qiao and a large number of soldiers to attack Yelang and Dian.Unexpectedly, after the place was defeated, the neighboring Qin State directly cut off the back road, and this army would never come back.
When Chu State saw this situation, he said: Ho!As long as there is Qin State, it will be useless to defeat this place!
So Chu State resolutely gave up this army that stayed in Yunnan, and was not willing to spend energy negotiating with Qin State to bring people back to China.
However, the troops sent to attack Yunnan had already made enemies with the local people, and they could not tell the other party that everything before had never happened, so in order to protect themselves, they could only establish a political power in the local area.
Calculating the time, this country has only just been established for a few decades.
Moreover, this country has a small army, weak national strength, many ethnic groups, and deep hatred between the ruling class and ordinary people. In terms of overall strength, it is far inferior to Yelang Kingdom.
In order to bring down these two countries, it will not cost much food.
however……
Zhi Suaishi stood up and said: "If you want to attack the two countries, I'm afraid it won't work. Although the tax revenue collected by the national treasury has increased year after year, the amount of consumption has also increased year after year. If we can guarantee to win the two countries in three months Money and food can still support it, but once it exceeds this time, it will be more dangerous."
Yingzheng was puzzled: "Where did the money and food collected over the years go?"
Zhi Suuchi explained: "It is mainly due to the food consumption of prisoners who dig coal mines and limestone in various places, and the construction of cement roads leading to major counties and counties across the country. The consumption of prisoners who produce cement, and the consumption of money and food by border troops Wait, among them, the construction of cement roads requires the most money and food, and more than half of the taxes collected every year are used for this.”
"At the very beginning, the annual tax revenue was not even enough for road construction. It was necessary to consume some of the food stored in previous years. It was not until the first two years that the treasury's revenue and expenditure reached a balance. Only in the last two years a surplus."
Of course, wars will also consume money and food, but because the previous wars to unify the six countries did not take much time each time, and since Yingzheng did not start a war in the first ten years after he became the throne, the treasury has accumulated quite a lot of money and food. The supplies are abundant, and there is no need to worry about whether there is enough food and grass for war.
But the construction of cement roads is a long-term and never-ending thing. It has been several years since the first construction of cement roads. Roads are being built all year round, and there is no time to stop. Naturally, the consumption of money and food is terrible. .
Ying Zheng frowned. He originally planned to send troops to take these two countries directly, but he didn't expect to have no money.
Lin Qian didn't expect this development in the end. After being astonished, a smile appeared on her face.
And the villain on her head is even more exaggerated——
Almost at the moment when he realized that the treasury had no money and could not fight a war, a box that had not appeared for a long time suddenly appeared, and the small Lin Qian in that box unconsciously held his stomach and laughed loudly .
Ying Zheng noticed Lin Qian's reaction and squinted his eyes dangerously.
Lin Qian's hairs stood on end suddenly, and when he looked up, he happened to meet Ying Zheng's meaningful eyes.
She froze for a moment, not understanding why Ying Zheng looked at her like this.
After a pause, Lin Qian reached out to touch the corner of his mouth: "..."
She realized that if she didn't explain now, she might be in a bad situation when she returned to the palace, so she quickly spoke from the bottom of her heart——
[It's just that it's rare for me to see you deflated, so I think it's funny, but I'm not laughing at you. 】
Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak when Wei Liao offered his advice: "Your Majesty, I believe that it is not impossible to take these two countries within three months."
==·Baiyue·==
Ying Zheng looked at Wei Liao: "What do you mean?"
Wei Liao said, "The Yelang Kingdom reached its peak shortly after its founding, and has been going downhill since then. Now there is nothing to fear."
To prove what he said was true, he also gave an example, "At the same time as the establishment of the Dian Kingdom, King Xiang of Chu sent his general Zhuang Qiao to attack the Yelang Kingdom. King Yelang surrendered directly, claiming that he was willing to become a subsidiary state of Chu State. The bravery of our Daqin soldiers is unmatched, and it is more than enough to take Yelang State in three months."
Ying Zheng frowned: "After taking Yelang Kingdom in three months, what about Dian Kingdom?"
Lin Qian mentioned before that only Xishuangbanna in Yunnan can grow rubber trees. Although she didn't know where Xishuangbanna is, when she mentioned Yunnan, she was referring to the country of Dian and never mentioned the country of Yelang.
Come to think of it, this Xishuangbanna should be in the territory of Dian Kingdom.
Wei Liao smiled and said: "This is what I want to say. Although we know that the treasury can only support the soldiers for three months of fighting, Dian Kingdom does not know. As long as we take Yelang Kingdom, when the time comes Turn around and make a stance to attack the Dian Kingdom, and the Dian Kingdom will most likely surrender voluntarily when they see that the Yelang Kingdom, which is stronger than themselves, has been defeated by our Daqin soldiers."
"If Your Majesty is worried, you can ask Yao Jia to go to Dian Kingdom in advance to lobby the king of Dian Kingdom."
"Although the current king of Dian is the son of Zhuang Qiao married a local woman, it is said that Zhuang Qiao has been thinking about returning to his homeland all his life, and in his later years he often mentioned his life in Chu with his wife and children. He has a good impression of the Central Plains. If Yao Jia goes to the Dian Kingdom, he will bring a few pamphlets compiled by Zhang Tingwei to let them know that the Great Qin is good. You must still be willing to resist."
After the founding of the Dian Kingdom, in order to ensure the stability of the regime, the army has been only willing to recruit those descendants of the Chu army.
So as long as the will to fight of these people is disintegrated, Dian Kingdom will have no threat.
Wei Liao continued: "Furthermore, the hatred between Zhuang Qiao's descendants and the local people has not been eliminated not long after the founding of the country. As long as the local people can be persuaded, even if the soldiers of the Dian Kingdom are unwilling to give up resistance, the local people will not stand by. They fought us without moving."
The Dian Kingdom has targets all over its body, and it is a shortcoming that can be exploited if it is caught casually.
However, even though Wei Liao had mentioned so many advantages of the Dian Kingdom, he still felt that the Dian Congress would surrender after hearing that the Yelang Kingdom was destroyed.
After all, Dian Kingdom is too weak.
Lin Qian understood Wei Liao's meaning in an instant: To put it bluntly, this is a variant of the empty city plan. It is all about pretending to be a powerful appearance to confuse the enemy, so as to achieve the purpose of retreating the enemy or defeating the enemy without fighting.
But different from the real empty city plan, Qin's army will win a battle before, showing its strength to Dian.
If there is no accident, this effect may be better than the real empty city plan.
Ying Zheng looked at the others and asked their opinions on the strategy proposed by Wei Liao.
All eyes turned to the other generals.
Wang Jian raised his eyes, looked around for a week, and then said, "Dian Kingdom (now) is not a good place, even if you become the king of Dian Kingdom, you may not be able to enjoy anything, and their strength is much weaker than Yelang Kingdom. Without knowing that the treasury of the Qin Dynasty does not support another war, as long as the troops are at the gates of the city, they will inevitably surrender."
Although Wang Jian had never dealt with the Dian people, he understood the pressure of the Qin army on other countries.
Without Yao Jia at all, Li Xin can win both countries.
Wang Jian has always been cautious, he said so firmly, it proves that Wei Liao's strategy is feasible.
Others echoed and began to discuss the details of this battle, how to govern the two countries after they were defeated, who should be sent to be the sheriff, and which officials should be sent to govern the two places——
It seems that these two countries are already in the pocket of the Qin Dynasty.
Lin Qian froze for a moment, then suddenly laughed.
Ahu is an ordinary member of the Baiyue tribe in the mountains and forests of the Yue Kingdom. He grew up in the mountains and forests. In the past, apart from his relatives and friends in the tribe, there were also a few people from the nearby Baiyue tribes who didn’t even know that he belonged to the Yue Kingdom. , He didn't know about it from his parents until he was 13 years old because Qin State sent troops to attack Yue State.
The Baiyue tribe living in the mountains and forests has enmity with the kings of the two Yue kingdoms——
Most if not all of them.
Because most of them hid in the mountains and forests in order to avoid exorbitant taxes after being unable to live under the rule of the Yue Kingdom these years.
So when they heard that the Qin State was attacking the Yue State, the elders of the entire tribe became overwhelmed, and they couldn't wait to go down the mountain immediately to help Qin State attack the Yue State.
Who knew that the two kings of the Yue Kingdom were all soft bones, and they surrendered as soon as the Qin army arrived!
The elders of the Ahu Tribe were so angry that they made villains at home every day.
Fortunately, I heard that Qin State moved all the royal family and nobles of Yue from the capital to house arrest, and even sent other officials to take over Yue State soon.
But what to say...
The Baiyue tribe hiding in the mountains and forests didn't trust Yue, but they also didn't like Qin.
Especially after hearing that the Qin laws were strict, almost all the Baiyue tribes returned home immediately after the two Yue kings surrendered, and had no intention of going down the mountain at all.Even when the county guards sent by the state of Qin arrived in the capital and began to register their household registration, they had no intention of going down the mountain at all.
But it didn't take long for them to regret it.
It's not that they have any good feelings for Qin State, but because after Yue State's land was merged into Qin State's jurisdiction, the people's life soon changed drastically——
There are many mountains and forests in this part of the country of Yue, and there is a lot of miasma. People who are not from the Baiyue tribe often die in the mountains and forests.
And even the people of the Baiyue tribe would easily get lost if they rashly took a path they had never set foot on before, or they would simply be bitten to death and devoured by ferocious beasts in the mountains and forests.
In addition to the complex and changeable terrain and miasma in the mountains and forests, this place also has a big stomach disease that even the doctor and Wu Zhu can't help.
Almost everyone who chooses to farm will not live long.
But all this changed after Qin took over.
At the beginning, the county guard recruited many people to help plant a plant called grapes on the grounds of treating the big belly disease. After the grapes were planted, they began to brew a bright red wine.
This kind of wine has a very strong taste, and after brewing, it will be sent to Xianyang for sale.
But what is strange is that, apart from taxes and transportation fees, the county guard actually took all the money earned from selling wine as wages and handed it over to the common people who helped make wine.
Everyone couldn't believe it.
Wine is a rarity these days, and good wine is in short supply——
It is said that a barrel of wine can sell for tens of thousands of dollars.
So much money is given to the people to share equally, and each person can even share several thousand.
But soon, they knew why.
Because not long after the money was distributed, the sheriff posted a notice telling everyone that a kind of tartar produced in the wine making process could cure their big bellies.
Now, all the people in Yuedi who knew about it all rushed to the county town.
Then, the sheriff took out all the tarts, the price...
It was the wages that were distributed to the common people who helped plant grapes and wine making, one was not too much, and the other was not.
When Ah Hu learned about this, he thought it was a lie fabricated by the sheriff to defraud money.
But soon, he heard something——
The county guard sent several doctors to sit in the place where wine stones are sold. Every citizen who wants to buy wine stones needs to receive the doctor's pulse diagnosis. You are hopeless. Although it will not prevent you from buying, it will also expressly imply that it is useless for you to eat it. It is better to leave the money to your family.
Regardless of the process, what Ah Hu knew was that those people down the mountain who could still be saved had already been saved.
Even those who have no money at home can give the government an IOU, first take some tartrates home to eat, and then just help out during the grape planting season, picking grapes and making wine, and it can be paid off in a year or two. In arrears.
Because there are more people who owe tartar on credit, the speed of planting and picking grapes is faster.
Naturally, this job is also easy.
After Ah Hu heard about this, he thought of the tribe members who had suffered from schistosomiasis, so he wanted to go down the mountain to seek medicine.
but……
He soon discovered that not only could he not afford the money at all, he could not even enter the city.
Because he didn't have a household registration in the Qin Dynasty, he couldn't even pass the physical examination at the city gate, let alone when it was time to buy things and help with work.
Ah Hu had no choice but to return to his tribe the same way.
But for the next few days, he was always depressed, and it was obvious that he had something on his mind.
After several days of observation, his parents called him in front of him for questioning.
Ahu was a little frustrated: "I know from Uncle Mingye that the counties and counties below the mountain have already found the medicine for the big belly disease. I want to buy it, but I have no money."
Ming Ye is a vendor who often travels among the various Baiyue tribes. He specializes in selling some daily necessities, and also brings some outside experiences.However, because he needs to go to too many places, he may not be able to visit their tribe once in several years.
But he just came to their tribe once last month.
Ah Hu's father didn't care about Ming Ye. When he heard that there was medicine for the big belly disease at the foot of the mountain, he stood up immediately: "If you want money to buy medicine, tell me, and I'll get you the money..."
"No need, Father!" Ah Hu bowed his head in pain, "If you want to buy medicine, you can only go to the county town, but we can't get in at all."
Ah Hu's father was puzzled: "Why?"
Ah Hu is sad: "They want a photo card when they enter the city, saying it records who everyone is, where they live, what they look like, etc. It is said that it is issued by the government after registering household registration. We don't have household registration, where did it come from?" Photos?"
Ah Hu's father was dumbfounded.
But thinking of those elders, relatives and friends in the tribe who suffered from schistosomiasis and could only wait to die, and even those elders, relatives and friends who chose to commit suicide in order to alleviate the pain and avoid dragging future generations, Ah Hu's father couldn't sit still: "I'll go to the patriarch!"
Saying that, he rushed out the door immediately.
Baiyue tribes like them, although their population is extremely small, are extremely united——
For them, every clan member is each other's relatives.
After hearing the news, even the patriarch was moved.
He immediately called all the clansmen to the ancestral hall, and then asked everyone for their opinions: "I mean to send someone to inquire about the situation and see if anyone has pursued our past. If not, let the sick clansmen, or simply Everyone goes down the mountain together to register a household registration, which will not only cure diseases, but also make it convenient for us to go down the mountain to buy things in the future."
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, no matter what their thoughts were, they finally nodded in agreement.
only……
Someone questioned: "I don't mind going to the government to register for household registration, but Ah Hu has never been able to enter the city. How can he know the authenticity of the medicine? As for Ming Ye, he is also from the mountain, so he is not trustworthy."
The patriarch frowned: "This is indeed a problem."
At this time, the patriarch's wife suddenly said: "Speaking of which, when Mingye came here last time, I also told me about it. I laughed at him and said he was lying. He seemed a little angry, so he threw me a small white Shi Zier, it is said that it can be eaten by others to see the effect."
== Dilemma ==
Everyone stared at her in unison.
The patriarch's wife was taken aback: "I, I don't believe it, Mingye was full of flamboyant words, and almost cheated my daughter back then..."
The patriarch directly interrupted: "Go and find that little stone!"
The patriarch's wife didn't dare to delay, so she got up and went back to her home, and soon came over with a cloth bag.
After opening the cloth bag, a small white pebble appeared in front of everyone.
The patriarch picked up the little stone and looked at the others: "This tart is free, does anyone want to try it?"
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but no one dared to step forward to take the wine stone.
The patriarch couldn't help frowning, and was about to call the roll call, when Ah Hu's mother stood up: "Let me eat and see."
Everyone looked at her in astonishment.
Ah Hu's father was even more frightened and angry: "Why didn't I know that you also had a big belly?"
Ahu's mother sneered: "I'm afraid that you will worry about me..."
There was no medical treatment at all before, even if she said it, it would only add to the troubles of the family, it might as well be when the time comes
Lin Qian blinked, and smiled at Ying Zheng with a little guilt: "Did you hear it just now?"
Ying Zheng looked at her angrily: "You didn't hide it, why can't the widow hear it?"
Lin Qian reached out to Ying Zheng, grabbed the hem of his clothes and pulled it to her side. Seeing him sitting down, she leaned towards him and explained with a smile when she touched his arm: "If possible, I I really want to hide it from you."
Ying Zheng looked at her with raised eyebrows: "You still want to hide it from the widow?"
Lin Qian laughed: "After all, I'm worried that after you know that the industrial revolution may shake your own rule, you will want to stop the current development momentum."
As she said this, she looked at Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng thought for a while, and did not deny Lin Qian's conjecture, but he did not cut it across the board, but asked, "There have been two revolutions in the world where host No. [-] lives? Tell the widow what's going on."
Lin Qian paused, and nodded earnestly: "Sally participated in the revolution in the first country relatively high, and it can even be said that she promoted it alone. According to what Sally said, part of the reason why she funded those revolutionaries was because Personal enmity, she wants to take revenge on her father, who is a great nobleman, partly because of injustice, as a woman, she hopes to gain status and power by supporting another regime."
"But unfortunately, she failed and had to flee to other countries."
"The revolution in the second country has nothing to do with her. According to Sally, it is because of the class inequality in the second country. The decadent aristocratic class is in the torrent of history because of its stubbornness and unwillingness to accept new things. Falling behind in the middle and about to be eliminated, such as the big businessmen she turned to rely on technology to obtain a lot of money, but their status does not match their property."
"Someone is like the big businessman Sally traded with marrying a declining nobleman. The merchant gets power and status, and the declining nobleman gets money, which is considered mutual benefit; but there are also people who are unwilling or unable to do this, so they They can only gain status and power through other means, they have money and technology, and they can build advanced weapons, so seizing power has become the first choice.”
Ying Zheng nodded: "So the businessmen of the second country succeeded in overthrowing the regime?"
Lin Qian blinked, and stretched out a hand towards Ying Zheng: "It's still in progress. Sally found that the timing was wrong and wanted to trade some weapons with me just in case. Do you still have a dagger in your hand?"
Ying Zheng looked down at Lin Qian's white and tender palm, smiled, and grabbed her hand.
Lin Qian looked at him suspiciously.
Ying Zheng directly called a servant in and asked someone to fetch some daggers.
Lin Qian immediately sent it to Sally, and she received it quickly, and sent over some gold very quickly.
Ying Zheng ordered the gold to be put away, sent everyone out, and then looked at Lin Qian seriously: "The national revolution of the No. ? Similar things must have happened in the world of your previous life, so your heartbeat is that sentence."
Lin Qian paused, with a hesitant expression.
Ying Zheng approached Lin Qian and looked at her seriously: "Don't you believe me?"
Lin Qian was almost fascinated by the beauty, but fortunately he reined in at the last moment and didn't directly reveal everything he knew.
but……
[No way, you are the emperor after all, are you still engaging in beauty tricks? 】
Lin Qian stared at Ying Zheng incredulously, she couldn't believe it.
Ying Zheng retreated to his seat, and said calmly: "The widow just wants to get close to my wife, what does it have to do with the beauty trick?"
Lin Qian: "..."
She simply imitated Ying Zheng's movements and leaned directly in front of him.
Unexpectedly, when she was moving, Ying Zheng suddenly took her hand and leaned forward a little bit. Lin Qian was caught off guard and kissed Ying Zheng's lips directly.
Lin Qian blinked blankly, realized what had happened, bit Ying Zheng's lip angrily, then pushed him away and sat back beside him.
Ying Zheng raised his hand and touched his lips, a chuckle escaped from his throat.
Lin Qian glanced back at him.
Ying Zheng smiled, and put her hand on his lap.
Looking at the palms he and Lin Qian clasped together, Ying Zheng looked a little dazed: he used to not like to touch the skin, but for some reason, after communicating with Lin Qian, as long as he saw someone, He always liked to hold her hand.
Lin Qian didn't pay attention, and made a couple of upsets, seeing that Ying Zheng didn't let him go, he had no choice but to let him go.
The two fell silent.
The atmosphere would not make people feel awkward. Lin Qian felt that the two of them just sat together without saying anything or doing anything, which was actually very reassuring, but it was already bedtime, and the two of them just sat on the bed like this Rest seems silly again.
Lin Qian took a careful look at Ying Zheng: "Actually, it's useless to know the situation of those revolutions."
Ying Zheng came back to his senses: "How can it be useless to learn from other people's failures?"
Lin Qian thought for a while, and said, "Probably because it is inevitable? As long as society develops to a certain stage, this kind of thing cannot be avoided at all."
After a pause, she denied her statement again, "It doesn't seem to be completely useless..."
Ying Zheng looked at Lin Qian.
Lin Qian explained: "Because the set of centralized governance management you designed is too mature and effective, this system has never undergone major changes in the subsequent thousands of years of history, but has only undergone small-scale changes. Repair, waited until the last feudal dynasty, this system reached the peak of centralization in the hands of an emperor named Qianlong."
"However, because the whole world was undergoing dramatic earth-shaking changes at that time, and the emperor at that time was too short-sighted. Even though he had seen the high-tech products at that time and had exchanged letters with the queens of other countries that were undergoing changes, they all He didn't take it seriously, but after learning that a great revolution in other countries overthrew the rule of the royal family, in order to maintain the rule of his own nation, he did not choose to keep up with the changes in the whole world and carry out reforms. advanced knowledge from abroad.”
Ying Zheng didn't understand: "Isn't he worried that the country will fall behind and be attacked?"
During the hundreds of years of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, how many vassal states were destroyed because of their backward national power?
Ying Zheng couldn't understand this approach at all.
Lin Qian also disliked Qianlong very much, his eyes would get angry when he mentioned this person.
but……
Lin Qian sighed: "Although the country fell behind and was attacked by others, the rule of the Qing Dynasty has actually continued."
Qianlong is a very typical feudal monarch. The starting point of everything he has done is to maintain the rule of the Qing Dynasty, the rule of the Aixinjueluo family and his own rule. The people and the country's future are not within his consideration. .
Regardless of the final tragic result, Qianlong did achieve his goal.
In addition to Qianlong, there is actually another country whose royal family resisted this impact.
Lin Qian said: "After the Great Revolution, a revolution broke out in another country. But because the main initiators of this revolution were members of the royal family, and even the original heir and her powerful husband, so in the end Not only didn’t it cost a single soldier, didn’t hurt half of the lives, but also successfully saved the royal family, and he and his husband ascended the throne to rule the country together.”
Ying Zheng thought for a while and asked, "What does a constitutional monarchy mean?"
Lin Qian explained: "There are several types of constitutional monarchy, and I can't explain each situation to you clearly, but in most cases, in countries that implement constitutional monarchy, the kings have no real power. The mascot of a country, the real power rests in the hands of ministers."
Ying Zheng fell into deep thought.
Lin Qian couldn't help but moved closer to him: "What are you thinking now?"
Ying Zheng glanced at Lin Qian: "Why, I'm worried that the widow will take all the things you took out across the board?"
Lin Qian returned to her original position, her eyes wandering a little: "How could that be? If you really did this, wouldn't you be the same as that closed-door emperor? How could you do such a thing if you are so wise and powerful?"
As she spoke, she couldn't help but glance at Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng squeezed Lin Qian's hand amusedly, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "According to what you said, it is those big businessmen who really want to fight for power? If that's the case, I don't have to worry about it."
Lin Qian looked at him suspiciously: "Why? Because you have already moved the big businessmen from all over the country to Xianyang?"
After a pause, she suddenly remembered something——
Since the reform of Shang Yang, the state of Qin has been emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business. The compulsory labor stipulated by the law such as corvee service and military service for businessmen is much heavier than that of ordinary people.
In the past, the world was not unified and there was no way to track down everyone, which made people have a lot of loopholes, or the businessmen in other places were not under the jurisdiction of Qin Law at all. Apart from these big merchants who migrated to Xianyang, the Qin Dynasty no longer had the soil for big merchants to grow.
It's okay for the common people to do small businesses, but once the business becomes too big, there is a possibility that the government will change their household registration.
Compared with making money, life is naturally more important.
Just like Xiao who has entered the officialdom now, being a businessman has never been the first choice of ordinary people.
As long as the Qin Law's legal provisions on "emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business" remain unchanged, it is indeed unlikely that merchants will cause too much trouble in the Qin Dynasty.
After Lin Qian figured it out, she stopped worrying.
However, Ying Zheng thought over what Lin Qian said over and over again, and finally set his sights on the word "technology".
In addition to suppressing the status of merchants, it should also be important to master key technologies.
==·Poor Qin·==
Yingzheng immediately thought of the textile machine, which had never been popularized until now, and the steam engine that had just been researched.
There is even a "Science" textbook that has just been compiled.
If more people learn the knowledge in the "Science" textbook, will someone invent brand new things to earn more money and shake the rule of the Qin Dynasty?
But soon, he dismissed such thoughts.
However, Ying Zheng soon realized that even if someone got the drawings of the textile loom and the steam loom, or even cleverly understood how to make it, it would be useless——
The imperial court has opened garment workshops and textile factories in many places, and the price of clothes is quite low, and other factories are not competitive even if they want to open factories; as for the steam engine, there is no need to worry about the blueprint leaking out, because ordinary people have no access to it. From iron, the raw material for building steam engines, to the amines currently added to the Eucommia gum used for sealing.
The reason is simple: since Guan Zhong proposed "Guan Shan Hai", other vassal states immediately incorporated it into their laws.
The main content of this law is to hand over to the government the monopoly of the resources that can obtain and seek huge benefits and are closely related to people's livelihood in nature, and private ownership is not allowed——
In the past, the so-called "official mountains and seas" policy only controlled metals and salt.
However, after coal was widely used and the huge profits were known to the naked eye, Ying Zheng immediately included it under the legal jurisdiction of "Guanshanhai".
Coal mines are governed, as are copper and iron.
Even if you get the blueprint, what if you can't build it?
Again...
Thinking of the school that was still missing, Ying Zheng became more calm: the outstanding talents from the school will naturally serve him for the court.
……
Lin Qian gave Ying Zheng a tug: "It's time to rest."
Ying Zheng nodded, quickly blew out the candles and lay down to sleep without mentioning it.
Early the next morning, Lin Qian subconsciously opened the plane trader, and found that Hua had sent him a message early in the morning.
She glanced around and simply hid behind the screen.
After opening the plane trader, Lin Qian immediately heard Hua Xing's voice: "Lin Qian, Lin Qian, we have already contacted the people in the city to the south. They repelled the people, and agreed to let people from our two tribes live in that city, so we don’t have to worry about sleeping at night anymore!”
Lin Qian repeatedly typed to congratulate.
Hua has long been used to the fact that Lin Qian can't speak at any time, so she doesn't care at all: "I originally wanted to find you after I lived in the city, but didn't you ask before if there is a kind of cut tree near our tribe?" Is there a tree species that oozes white sap after its skin? We searched for a long time but couldn’t find it, thinking that there is no such thing in our world.”
After all, they are two different worlds. Even if many plants overlap, some of them must not overlap.
Lin Qian didn't find it strange.
But what Hua said obviously had a turning point.
Lin Qian pricked up his ears instantly.
Hua did not live up to her expectations: "I have always felt sorry for the forging method of the weapon I got from you this time, so when I was in contact with the people in that city, I asked them if there were any special plants around the city. Then they Just tell me, their city is next to a dense forest, and more than half of the trees in it are the kind of trees that can ooze white sap after the bark you mentioned!"
Lin Qian asked in surprise: "Are you sure there are rubber trees all around?"
Hua hesitated: "That's what they said, but the specific situation will not be known until we live in the city. But don't worry, we will definitely check whether that kind of tree is what you need as soon as we arrive at the destination. rubber tree."
Lin Qian was so happy: [If there are so many rubber trees in the world of flowers, wouldn't we not need to plant rubber trees and not be short of rubber? 】
On the other side of the screen, Ying Zheng frowned.
After Lin Qian and Hua finished speaking, she found that Ying Zheng's mood seemed not as high as before.
Lin Qian was a little puzzled: "What's wrong with you?"
Ying Zheng glanced at her and said seriously: "Since the rubber tree is so important, it's safer to hold it in your own hands."
This endless sentence...
Lin Qian paused, and instantly understood.
She said dumbfoundedly: "Isn't there no suitable place to plant rubber in the territory of the Qin Dynasty? Of course you can grow it yourself if you have the conditions, but it's okay to buy it directly from others if you don't have the conditions."
Ying Zheng didn't answer, and directly sent the person back to wash up.
After that, the two had breakfast together, and then they went to the meeting hall together.
Lin Qian was still pondering Ying Zheng's words in his heart, and he was always a little absent-minded when he went to court.
Ying Zheng took her reaction into his eyes, felt a little helpless, and simply asked the question he originally planned to ask after the business was settled: "How much food has the treasury saved now? I remember that there was a Dian Kingdom and Ye Ye near Shu County." Langguo, can the money and food in the treasury support the army to take it down?"
Lin Qian raised her head abruptly and looked at Ying Zheng in disbelief.
No wonder he said that in the morning, it turned out that it was because he had already made a plan in his heart to completely take down this place in Yunnan!
Although a little surprised, Lin Qian quickly accepted Ying Zheng's approach.
One is that these two countries will not last long and will be merged into the Chinese territory, and the other is that these two countries are simply not enough in front of Qin State. They are not the enemies of Qin State at all, and there is no need to stop them.
This Yelang country is the source of the idiom "Yelang is arrogant". It itself is a minority government country. Its land is mainly in Guizhou and Yunnan during its existence. It is not large in size and its national strength is not very strong.
The situation of the Dian Kingdom, whose land area is almost entirely within the scope of later generations of Yunnan, is even more embarrassing——
The country was founded by a general named Zhuang Qiao from Chu State. At that time, in 278 BC, King Xiang of Chu wanted to occupy and attack Yelang and Dian. Send Zhuang Qiao and a large number of soldiers to attack Yelang and Dian.Unexpectedly, after the place was defeated, the neighboring Qin State directly cut off the back road, and this army would never come back.
When Chu State saw this situation, he said: Ho!As long as there is Qin State, it will be useless to defeat this place!
So Chu State resolutely gave up this army that stayed in Yunnan, and was not willing to spend energy negotiating with Qin State to bring people back to China.
However, the troops sent to attack Yunnan had already made enemies with the local people, and they could not tell the other party that everything before had never happened, so in order to protect themselves, they could only establish a political power in the local area.
Calculating the time, this country has only just been established for a few decades.
Moreover, this country has a small army, weak national strength, many ethnic groups, and deep hatred between the ruling class and ordinary people. In terms of overall strength, it is far inferior to Yelang Kingdom.
In order to bring down these two countries, it will not cost much food.
however……
Zhi Suaishi stood up and said: "If you want to attack the two countries, I'm afraid it won't work. Although the tax revenue collected by the national treasury has increased year after year, the amount of consumption has also increased year after year. If we can guarantee to win the two countries in three months Money and food can still support it, but once it exceeds this time, it will be more dangerous."
Yingzheng was puzzled: "Where did the money and food collected over the years go?"
Zhi Suuchi explained: "It is mainly due to the food consumption of prisoners who dig coal mines and limestone in various places, and the construction of cement roads leading to major counties and counties across the country. The consumption of prisoners who produce cement, and the consumption of money and food by border troops Wait, among them, the construction of cement roads requires the most money and food, and more than half of the taxes collected every year are used for this.”
"At the very beginning, the annual tax revenue was not even enough for road construction. It was necessary to consume some of the food stored in previous years. It was not until the first two years that the treasury's revenue and expenditure reached a balance. Only in the last two years a surplus."
Of course, wars will also consume money and food, but because the previous wars to unify the six countries did not take much time each time, and since Yingzheng did not start a war in the first ten years after he became the throne, the treasury has accumulated quite a lot of money and food. The supplies are abundant, and there is no need to worry about whether there is enough food and grass for war.
But the construction of cement roads is a long-term and never-ending thing. It has been several years since the first construction of cement roads. Roads are being built all year round, and there is no time to stop. Naturally, the consumption of money and food is terrible. .
Ying Zheng frowned. He originally planned to send troops to take these two countries directly, but he didn't expect to have no money.
Lin Qian didn't expect this development in the end. After being astonished, a smile appeared on her face.
And the villain on her head is even more exaggerated——
Almost at the moment when he realized that the treasury had no money and could not fight a war, a box that had not appeared for a long time suddenly appeared, and the small Lin Qian in that box unconsciously held his stomach and laughed loudly .
Ying Zheng noticed Lin Qian's reaction and squinted his eyes dangerously.
Lin Qian's hairs stood on end suddenly, and when he looked up, he happened to meet Ying Zheng's meaningful eyes.
She froze for a moment, not understanding why Ying Zheng looked at her like this.
After a pause, Lin Qian reached out to touch the corner of his mouth: "..."
She realized that if she didn't explain now, she might be in a bad situation when she returned to the palace, so she quickly spoke from the bottom of her heart——
[It's just that it's rare for me to see you deflated, so I think it's funny, but I'm not laughing at you. 】
Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak when Wei Liao offered his advice: "Your Majesty, I believe that it is not impossible to take these two countries within three months."
==·Baiyue·==
Ying Zheng looked at Wei Liao: "What do you mean?"
Wei Liao said, "The Yelang Kingdom reached its peak shortly after its founding, and has been going downhill since then. Now there is nothing to fear."
To prove what he said was true, he also gave an example, "At the same time as the establishment of the Dian Kingdom, King Xiang of Chu sent his general Zhuang Qiao to attack the Yelang Kingdom. King Yelang surrendered directly, claiming that he was willing to become a subsidiary state of Chu State. The bravery of our Daqin soldiers is unmatched, and it is more than enough to take Yelang State in three months."
Ying Zheng frowned: "After taking Yelang Kingdom in three months, what about Dian Kingdom?"
Lin Qian mentioned before that only Xishuangbanna in Yunnan can grow rubber trees. Although she didn't know where Xishuangbanna is, when she mentioned Yunnan, she was referring to the country of Dian and never mentioned the country of Yelang.
Come to think of it, this Xishuangbanna should be in the territory of Dian Kingdom.
Wei Liao smiled and said: "This is what I want to say. Although we know that the treasury can only support the soldiers for three months of fighting, Dian Kingdom does not know. As long as we take Yelang Kingdom, when the time comes Turn around and make a stance to attack the Dian Kingdom, and the Dian Kingdom will most likely surrender voluntarily when they see that the Yelang Kingdom, which is stronger than themselves, has been defeated by our Daqin soldiers."
"If Your Majesty is worried, you can ask Yao Jia to go to Dian Kingdom in advance to lobby the king of Dian Kingdom."
"Although the current king of Dian is the son of Zhuang Qiao married a local woman, it is said that Zhuang Qiao has been thinking about returning to his homeland all his life, and in his later years he often mentioned his life in Chu with his wife and children. He has a good impression of the Central Plains. If Yao Jia goes to the Dian Kingdom, he will bring a few pamphlets compiled by Zhang Tingwei to let them know that the Great Qin is good. You must still be willing to resist."
After the founding of the Dian Kingdom, in order to ensure the stability of the regime, the army has been only willing to recruit those descendants of the Chu army.
So as long as the will to fight of these people is disintegrated, Dian Kingdom will have no threat.
Wei Liao continued: "Furthermore, the hatred between Zhuang Qiao's descendants and the local people has not been eliminated not long after the founding of the country. As long as the local people can be persuaded, even if the soldiers of the Dian Kingdom are unwilling to give up resistance, the local people will not stand by. They fought us without moving."
The Dian Kingdom has targets all over its body, and it is a shortcoming that can be exploited if it is caught casually.
However, even though Wei Liao had mentioned so many advantages of the Dian Kingdom, he still felt that the Dian Congress would surrender after hearing that the Yelang Kingdom was destroyed.
After all, Dian Kingdom is too weak.
Lin Qian understood Wei Liao's meaning in an instant: To put it bluntly, this is a variant of the empty city plan. It is all about pretending to be a powerful appearance to confuse the enemy, so as to achieve the purpose of retreating the enemy or defeating the enemy without fighting.
But different from the real empty city plan, Qin's army will win a battle before, showing its strength to Dian.
If there is no accident, this effect may be better than the real empty city plan.
Ying Zheng looked at the others and asked their opinions on the strategy proposed by Wei Liao.
All eyes turned to the other generals.
Wang Jian raised his eyes, looked around for a week, and then said, "Dian Kingdom (now) is not a good place, even if you become the king of Dian Kingdom, you may not be able to enjoy anything, and their strength is much weaker than Yelang Kingdom. Without knowing that the treasury of the Qin Dynasty does not support another war, as long as the troops are at the gates of the city, they will inevitably surrender."
Although Wang Jian had never dealt with the Dian people, he understood the pressure of the Qin army on other countries.
Without Yao Jia at all, Li Xin can win both countries.
Wang Jian has always been cautious, he said so firmly, it proves that Wei Liao's strategy is feasible.
Others echoed and began to discuss the details of this battle, how to govern the two countries after they were defeated, who should be sent to be the sheriff, and which officials should be sent to govern the two places——
It seems that these two countries are already in the pocket of the Qin Dynasty.
Lin Qian froze for a moment, then suddenly laughed.
Ahu is an ordinary member of the Baiyue tribe in the mountains and forests of the Yue Kingdom. He grew up in the mountains and forests. In the past, apart from his relatives and friends in the tribe, there were also a few people from the nearby Baiyue tribes who didn’t even know that he belonged to the Yue Kingdom. , He didn't know about it from his parents until he was 13 years old because Qin State sent troops to attack Yue State.
The Baiyue tribe living in the mountains and forests has enmity with the kings of the two Yue kingdoms——
Most if not all of them.
Because most of them hid in the mountains and forests in order to avoid exorbitant taxes after being unable to live under the rule of the Yue Kingdom these years.
So when they heard that the Qin State was attacking the Yue State, the elders of the entire tribe became overwhelmed, and they couldn't wait to go down the mountain immediately to help Qin State attack the Yue State.
Who knew that the two kings of the Yue Kingdom were all soft bones, and they surrendered as soon as the Qin army arrived!
The elders of the Ahu Tribe were so angry that they made villains at home every day.
Fortunately, I heard that Qin State moved all the royal family and nobles of Yue from the capital to house arrest, and even sent other officials to take over Yue State soon.
But what to say...
The Baiyue tribe hiding in the mountains and forests didn't trust Yue, but they also didn't like Qin.
Especially after hearing that the Qin laws were strict, almost all the Baiyue tribes returned home immediately after the two Yue kings surrendered, and had no intention of going down the mountain at all.Even when the county guards sent by the state of Qin arrived in the capital and began to register their household registration, they had no intention of going down the mountain at all.
But it didn't take long for them to regret it.
It's not that they have any good feelings for Qin State, but because after Yue State's land was merged into Qin State's jurisdiction, the people's life soon changed drastically——
There are many mountains and forests in this part of the country of Yue, and there is a lot of miasma. People who are not from the Baiyue tribe often die in the mountains and forests.
And even the people of the Baiyue tribe would easily get lost if they rashly took a path they had never set foot on before, or they would simply be bitten to death and devoured by ferocious beasts in the mountains and forests.
In addition to the complex and changeable terrain and miasma in the mountains and forests, this place also has a big stomach disease that even the doctor and Wu Zhu can't help.
Almost everyone who chooses to farm will not live long.
But all this changed after Qin took over.
At the beginning, the county guard recruited many people to help plant a plant called grapes on the grounds of treating the big belly disease. After the grapes were planted, they began to brew a bright red wine.
This kind of wine has a very strong taste, and after brewing, it will be sent to Xianyang for sale.
But what is strange is that, apart from taxes and transportation fees, the county guard actually took all the money earned from selling wine as wages and handed it over to the common people who helped make wine.
Everyone couldn't believe it.
Wine is a rarity these days, and good wine is in short supply——
It is said that a barrel of wine can sell for tens of thousands of dollars.
So much money is given to the people to share equally, and each person can even share several thousand.
But soon, they knew why.
Because not long after the money was distributed, the sheriff posted a notice telling everyone that a kind of tartar produced in the wine making process could cure their big bellies.
Now, all the people in Yuedi who knew about it all rushed to the county town.
Then, the sheriff took out all the tarts, the price...
It was the wages that were distributed to the common people who helped plant grapes and wine making, one was not too much, and the other was not.
When Ah Hu learned about this, he thought it was a lie fabricated by the sheriff to defraud money.
But soon, he heard something——
The county guard sent several doctors to sit in the place where wine stones are sold. Every citizen who wants to buy wine stones needs to receive the doctor's pulse diagnosis. You are hopeless. Although it will not prevent you from buying, it will also expressly imply that it is useless for you to eat it. It is better to leave the money to your family.
Regardless of the process, what Ah Hu knew was that those people down the mountain who could still be saved had already been saved.
Even those who have no money at home can give the government an IOU, first take some tartrates home to eat, and then just help out during the grape planting season, picking grapes and making wine, and it can be paid off in a year or two. In arrears.
Because there are more people who owe tartar on credit, the speed of planting and picking grapes is faster.
Naturally, this job is also easy.
After Ah Hu heard about this, he thought of the tribe members who had suffered from schistosomiasis, so he wanted to go down the mountain to seek medicine.
but……
He soon discovered that not only could he not afford the money at all, he could not even enter the city.
Because he didn't have a household registration in the Qin Dynasty, he couldn't even pass the physical examination at the city gate, let alone when it was time to buy things and help with work.
Ah Hu had no choice but to return to his tribe the same way.
But for the next few days, he was always depressed, and it was obvious that he had something on his mind.
After several days of observation, his parents called him in front of him for questioning.
Ahu was a little frustrated: "I know from Uncle Mingye that the counties and counties below the mountain have already found the medicine for the big belly disease. I want to buy it, but I have no money."
Ming Ye is a vendor who often travels among the various Baiyue tribes. He specializes in selling some daily necessities, and also brings some outside experiences.However, because he needs to go to too many places, he may not be able to visit their tribe once in several years.
But he just came to their tribe once last month.
Ah Hu's father didn't care about Ming Ye. When he heard that there was medicine for the big belly disease at the foot of the mountain, he stood up immediately: "If you want money to buy medicine, tell me, and I'll get you the money..."
"No need, Father!" Ah Hu bowed his head in pain, "If you want to buy medicine, you can only go to the county town, but we can't get in at all."
Ah Hu's father was puzzled: "Why?"
Ah Hu is sad: "They want a photo card when they enter the city, saying it records who everyone is, where they live, what they look like, etc. It is said that it is issued by the government after registering household registration. We don't have household registration, where did it come from?" Photos?"
Ah Hu's father was dumbfounded.
But thinking of those elders, relatives and friends in the tribe who suffered from schistosomiasis and could only wait to die, and even those elders, relatives and friends who chose to commit suicide in order to alleviate the pain and avoid dragging future generations, Ah Hu's father couldn't sit still: "I'll go to the patriarch!"
Saying that, he rushed out the door immediately.
Baiyue tribes like them, although their population is extremely small, are extremely united——
For them, every clan member is each other's relatives.
After hearing the news, even the patriarch was moved.
He immediately called all the clansmen to the ancestral hall, and then asked everyone for their opinions: "I mean to send someone to inquire about the situation and see if anyone has pursued our past. If not, let the sick clansmen, or simply Everyone goes down the mountain together to register a household registration, which will not only cure diseases, but also make it convenient for us to go down the mountain to buy things in the future."
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, no matter what their thoughts were, they finally nodded in agreement.
only……
Someone questioned: "I don't mind going to the government to register for household registration, but Ah Hu has never been able to enter the city. How can he know the authenticity of the medicine? As for Ming Ye, he is also from the mountain, so he is not trustworthy."
The patriarch frowned: "This is indeed a problem."
At this time, the patriarch's wife suddenly said: "Speaking of which, when Mingye came here last time, I also told me about it. I laughed at him and said he was lying. He seemed a little angry, so he threw me a small white Shi Zier, it is said that it can be eaten by others to see the effect."
== Dilemma ==
Everyone stared at her in unison.
The patriarch's wife was taken aback: "I, I don't believe it, Mingye was full of flamboyant words, and almost cheated my daughter back then..."
The patriarch directly interrupted: "Go and find that little stone!"
The patriarch's wife didn't dare to delay, so she got up and went back to her home, and soon came over with a cloth bag.
After opening the cloth bag, a small white pebble appeared in front of everyone.
The patriarch picked up the little stone and looked at the others: "This tart is free, does anyone want to try it?"
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but no one dared to step forward to take the wine stone.
The patriarch couldn't help frowning, and was about to call the roll call, when Ah Hu's mother stood up: "Let me eat and see."
Everyone looked at her in astonishment.
Ah Hu's father was even more frightened and angry: "Why didn't I know that you also had a big belly?"
Ahu's mother sneered: "I'm afraid that you will worry about me..."
There was no medical treatment at all before, even if she said it, it would only add to the troubles of the family, it might as well be when the time comes
