Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Qingji is a person who enjoys himself, so he specially built a sauna room in Jinling Palace.

At the beginning, Qingji didn't know the principle, so he asked people to throw thousands of hot iron blocks into the water, generating a lot of steam, and he led all the concubines to jump into the steam pool to play.

Later, the method of sauna was gradually improved.

In a special wooden room, the unique rocks are grilled on a hot stove to make the temperature reach more than 70°C, and then a small amount of water is poured on the rocks to generate shocking steam...

The specific cooling or heating is done manually.

At this time, Qing Ji dragged off his clothes with Fan Li, only wrapped in a plain white towel, and entered the steam-filled palace.

There was also a group of court ladies who came to serve.

White, yellow, black, brown, beauties of all kinds of skin colors are available, and they have also undergone professional training, and their clothes are very cool.

See no evil, see no evil.

Fan Li hurriedly lowered his head.

"Your Majesty, why are there even women with dark skin? Your Majesty, your taste is really unusual."

Qingji smiled slightly and said, "It's the same when you turn off the lights."

"Your Majesty, don't you have an affair with a black woman?"

"Is there a problem?"

"This……"

Fan Li couldn't help frowning, and said: "Your Majesty, there is indeed something wrong. Excuse me, how can my prince of Great Wu have dark skin?"

"This is outrageous. I heard that anyone who has an affair with a dark-skinned barbarian will give birth to children with the same skin color, which is difficult to change."

"Please be careful, Your Majesty."

Qingji smiled, and said: "Young Uncle, I know, so I will never leave Longzhong with black girls."

"That's fine."

Only then did Fan Li feel relieved.

Immediately, Qing Ji and Fan Li entered the bathing pool.

Qing Ji enjoyed lying on the lap of a fair-skinned beauty, letting another fair-skinned and beautiful girl massage and oil her...

Fan Li didn't dare to do this, even if it was Qingji's instruction, he didn't dare to act presumptuously.

It was already a great honor for Fan Li to be able to take a bath with Qingji, so how dare he be so "presumptuous" in front of Qingji?
"Comfortable."

Fan Li couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, enjoying it very much.

Qingji waved his hand, and after letting all the maids who were waiting on him retreat, he glanced at Fan Li and asked, "Uncle Shao, I plan to set up twenty palaces on the territory of the original Achaemenid dynasty." kingdom."

"However, there is still one thing to decide. I want to hear your opinion."

"A minister suggested that I relocate the Li Shu in the mainland of the empire to settle in the west. I don't know what you think, is it feasible?"

Fan Li rolled his eyes for a moment, and then asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"Of course it's the truth."

"If you let me tell you the truth, I think it's not appropriate."

"What's the reason?"

"Now there are more than [-] million Li and Shu in the mainland of the empire. However, there are not a few foreigners in the overseas and other regions of the empire. Your Majesty, if you want to emigrate, how many people do you want to emigrate?"

Fan Li sighed, "Different skin colors, different cultures, different beliefs, and different living habits. After all, the Wu people are too different from the rest of the foreign tribes. It is absolutely impossible for Your Majesty to assimilate them in a short time."

"If millions of Li Shu are moved out, I'm afraid it won't help the situation. There may be quite a few of these millions of Li Shu who are assimilated by those foreign tribes. Isn't this counterproductive?"

"If Your Majesty moves one-third, or even half, of Li Shu out, the land will be empty and become a truly sparsely populated place, and the empire will immediately lose its vitality and be taken advantage of by foreign races."

"This is the way of death, and it is even more undesirable."

Hearing this, Qing Ji let out a long sigh and said, "That's right. What I'm most worried about is the consequences like this."

"The consequences of causing Wu people to live together with other ethnic groups in Fanbang may be unimaginable."

"It's just that if we don't do this and strive to assimilate those people from foreign countries and foreign races, after I die, I'm afraid that the huge empire will immediately fall apart, and the achievements I created may disappear and become a thing of the past..."

Qingji can be said to be "sober in the world" on this matter.

As early as the beginning of the establishment of the state by the princes, Qingji tried his best to encourage some scholars in the country to serve as ministers in various feudal kingdoms, and they relocated their families.

Although far away from his homeland, at least he can find an official position, maybe he can become a minister of a country. This kind of temptation is not ordinary.

At the same time, in order to prevent the nobles in the feudal kingdom from rebelling, Qingji still tried his best to teach the princes who were about to establish a state to understand the policy of gentleness, win over nobles from all over the country, and use them for their own use.

Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren.

For the princes, Qingji's painstaking efforts and solitary attainments are already the utmost benevolence and righteousness.

If there is still a rebellion in the feudal kingdom where they are, and they cannot suppress it, they can only rely on the nearby feudal kingdoms to watch out for help, and Wu Zhang and Wu Fan, who are stationed in the west, will send troops to rescue them.

At this moment, after knowing Qing Ji's thoughts, Fan Li thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, in fact, sometimes soft knives are better than hard knives."

"Your Majesty should know that an empire established only by conquest by force will be difficult to maintain without strong rule and measures."

"Not only the conquered foreigners often try to restore their independence, but even the vassal kings that His Majesty entrusted will often spy on the opportunity and seek independence."

"Your Majesty, you are wise and powerful. After unifying the world, you still have the same books, the same track, and unified currency, weights and measures. This is the most effective weapon."

"This is a soft knife that kills without blood."

"If the language, characters, currency, weights and measures, and even cultural customs of the people in the world are the same, the roads are the same, and the culture is similar, even if your majesty is tens of thousands of years later, the world will change, and you will be able to lay a good foundation for your successor. "

It's easy for Fan Li to say, but he hasn't figured out how to operate it.

A chicken feather!
Qingji also knew that such soft knives were indeed effective.

But where to start?

All beginnings are hard.

In the past, when Wu State wiped out Qin, Qi, Song, Yan and other countries, it was actually not difficult to manage, because everyone recognized that they were part of China, with similar cultures and roughly the same language.

Those foreigners are different.

Fan Li also knew that this matter was too difficult, so he said to Qing Ji again: "Your Majesty, in ancient times, there were three major tribal alliances of the Yellow Emperor, Yan Emperor, and Chi You, and now they all belong to one family."

"The battle for the stag has been going on for more than 2000 years. Your Majesty can't afford to wait, but your Majesty should focus on future generations."

"I believe that my sons and grandchildren of the descendants of Wu, the descendants of the Wu clan, will certainly strive to fulfill the unfulfilled long-cherished wishes of your majesty and ministers."

Hearing this, Qingji smiled and said: "Uncle Shao, it has to be you."

"Your words have reached my heart."
