Chapter 142 The Huns Invade the Frontier
Write a few large characters on it upright.

Change the soil and return to the stream.

In fact, the Qin Dynasty's governance of Baiyue was not short-sighted.

After the first emperor pacified Baiyue, he withdrew a series of measures to stabilize the local area in Lingnan. He not only set up Guilin, Xiangjun, and Nanhai counties in Lingnan to implement the county system, but also set up Nanhaiwei in the relatively developed Nanhai County to deter the localities.

At the same time, the people in the interior were relocated to enrich Lingnan, and encourage reclamation and intermarriage with local residents.Even county and county officials were dispatched by the central court, although most of these people had to go because they were reviled by the court.

But this does not affect the actual governance of Lingnan and the influence of the Central Plains civilization in Lingnan.

However, this detainment policy did not really solve the problem of Lingnan. The tribes still had a high degree of autonomy, and the imperial court could not govern Lingnan as deeply as it governed the interior.

Even if there are hundreds of thousands of troops guarding it, they have to give up three points with patience.

Therefore, after realizing this problem, Zhao Ying had to think about the feasibility of the far-reaching policy of land reform and return to local people in later generations.

Although later generations have proved that it is feasible to reform the land and return it to the local people, it does not mean that this policy is also feasible when it is moved to the Great Qin Dynasty. After the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the reason why this measure can be implemented is actually because of the continuous exchanges between the people in Lingnan and the mainland since the Qin Dynasty. , are related to each other.

That is built on more than 1000 years of historical accumulation!
Moving here abruptly now probably won't solve the problem, and if one is not good, it will also arouse the sensitive nerves of the Lingnan people, and let Lingnan, which has finally calmed down, fall into endless wars again.

Along with it, it also dragged the already exhausted Daqin into the abyss of destruction.

Thinking of this, his face became more serious.

After the first emperor's almost hand-in-hand teaching in the past few months, Zhao Ying's political vision and wisdom are no longer what they used to be.What he wants is not a copy-and-paste reform, but a simplified version of reform that can really suit the current situation of Daqin and Lingnan.

Therefore, he scribbled and corrected this memorandum, writing it for almost half the night, and barely finished it until Zishi.

Picking it up and re-examining it, seeing that there were no mistakes or omissions, I let out a long sigh of relief.

Seeing that it was getting late, he didn't go back to his yard, but lay down directly on the bed in the study.

What he didn't know was that at the moment when he wrote the words "reform the land and return to the country" on that piece of paper, a young girl with bright eyes and picturesque features happened to walk to the door of his small courtyard.

As if feeling something in his heart, he suddenly stopped and looked up in the direction of Zhao Ying's study, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

The atmosphere of that interesting emperor's eldest grandson has changed again.

There seemed to be a stream of light in her eyes, her brows were slightly frowned, and her eyes were full of puzzlement.It was still an unpredictable fate, but indistinctly, that trace of majestic and domineering royal air suddenly increased by three points!

So, what the hell just happened!
Reminiscent of the change in Zhang Liang's fate just now, the curious look in Xu Neg's eyes intensified a bit.

"interesting--"

Xu negative was silent for a long time, suddenly broke his face and smiled, turned around and returned, his steps were light, like an elf in the dark night.

……

While Zhao Ying was staying up all night thinking about how to govern Lingnan, many people in Hedong, Hanoi, Sanchuan, which were the closest to Xianyang, and Handan, which was originally the capital of Zhao, were sleepless all night.

Several carts of books came suddenly, completely breaking the tranquility of these counties.

Different from the traditional bamboo slips and wooden slips, those books were written by something similar to cloth that they had never seen before, but even the writing was strange and unreadable.

The fonts of all the books are as if they were one, with no difference!

how can that be!

In Handan County, in the mansion of Lord Guangwu of the former Zhao, some nobles from the former Zhao gathered spontaneously, looking at the few books Guangwu Lord Li Zuoche asked someone to get from the mansion of the governor, they couldn't help but look at each other, what the hell is this!
"Have you ever found out the intention of the imperial court's move..."

An old man with gray beard and hair frowned, looking at Li Zuoche who was sitting there silently.

"It is said that the county guard is responsible for selling cheap books to the young and poor children of the county for them to learn to read. After that, the imperial court recruits talents and selects officials. These books will be used as part of the investigation..."

As soon as Li Zuoche's words came out, everyone couldn't help being in an uproar.

Those books about agriculture and mulberry, medicine and astrology don't matter, but that book "Casting the Soul of the Army"...

Since Handan is not far from Xianyang, unlike Kuaiji County, the promotion of "Casting the Soul of the Army" has not completely stopped, but under the open and secret resistance of the nobles of Zhao State, the progress is not smooth.

But that was before, once these books were distributed to those youngsters in the county, especially those poor ones, the situation might really get out of control.

You know, these young people have already become quite resistant to the master's family because of the sinister tweet, if they read these books again.

Everyone gasped involuntarily.

Daqin didn't even want to leave any room for him!
"What should I do? If these books are allowed to flow into the people, the consequences may be disastrous..."

The old man who asked the question just now frowned, and a trace of deep worry flashed in his eyes.

As a descendant of Pang Nuan, although his vision and knowledge are not as good as those of his predecessors, he is outstanding among these ancient Zhao nobles, so he naturally knows the terrible consequences of allowing this kind of book to be promoted.

But who can stop the imperial court under the banner of selecting officials?
Don't talk about outsiders, I'm afraid it's the young children of the clan, and I'm afraid it's hard to stop them.

What's the matter--

The Tweet Order has been stuck for a long time and refuses to be implemented. Now that these people want to seek a future by studying, you have to stop it?If it is really hard to stop, I am afraid that without the court's action, the family will fall into chaos.

Li Zuoche smiled wryly.

"I've asked people to turn around and begged the officials in charge of the county to suppress the news for the time being, but now that the general situation is in Qin, what we can do is actually very limited. Sooner or later, we will not be able to hold back this matter..."

At this moment, a middle-aged man with a three-strand beard stood up.

"Zhao has an idea, I don't know if it can be done..."

Hearing what he said, everyone immediately looked over.The old man of the Pang family looked at the middle-aged man expectantly.

"What good strategy does General Zhao have—"

The middle-aged man who spoke was a descendant of Zhao She, that is, Zhao Dun, the younger brother of the famous Zhao Kuo, who was a Lieutenant Colonel of Zhao Guojun and served under the old general Lian Po.

"Didn't you say that you want to sell it cheaply to young soldiers in the army? Although we can't stop the imperial government's decree, there shouldn't be any problem if we buy it..."

Zhao Dun's words made everyone's eyes shine.

Yup--

We can't stop you from promoting, but we have money, we can buy them all.

Books are nothing else, and it is not easy to copy. To produce so many books, the imperial court has no idea how much effort it took!

Buy it for him!

"Okay, each of us will buy some after we go back, we must not let these sinister things flow outside!"

Zhao Dun's proposal was quickly approved by everyone. Even Li Zuoche, who was always resourceful, didn't say anything more, although he felt that things were not that simple.

But what else can I do...

Then buy it first!
Similar scenes, not only in Handan, but also began to appear in other places as these printed books were shipped out.Although many places did not think of the idea of ​​buying books by themselves, they all delayed the release of these books through various means.

It was temporarily suppressed in treasuries all over the county.

However, I believe that with the spread of the practices of these nobles in Handan County, more and more nobles from the six countries will follow Handan and adopt similar methods to obstruct the circulation of books.

From their point of view, they are naturally not reconciled to seeing this kind of books on the roots of Zhao's nobles appear on the market.

I just don't know if they will be so depressed that they vomit blood on the spot when they know that there is something called printing and papermaking in this world.

……

Zhao Ying didn't care about these things, after all, these were things he and Shi Huangdi had pondered over and over again.

Just wait for them to come out to buy books and subsidize Daqin's exhausted treasury.

Nothing else, just a time difference!

"According to the itinerary, those books should have arrived in Handan and Sanchuan yesterday, and I don't know how they will react at this moment—"

The first emperor stopped the chopsticks in his hand, looked at Zhao Ying who was sitting across from him, wolfing down his breakfast, and asked with a smile.

There was an obvious schadenfreude in the words.The group of dogs, like mice, often tripped him up in the dark, and this time he could make them feel bad, and his heart soared with joy.

Zhao Ying couldn't help laughing at Shi Huangdi's joyful mock-up.

"How else can I react? At most, I can think of a way to delay it for a few days, eat ashes in the treasury for a few days, and then either buy them or let them flow to the market-in any case, we will not suffer..."

The First Emperor nodded cheerfully.

"Well, how are the storyteller's preparations going..."

Zhao Ying picked up the bowl and drank a bowl of millet and red date porridge in one gulp, and when serving it for himself, he also poured another bowl for Shi Huangdi.

"Father, you should also drink some of this kind of rice porridge, which can reconcile the appetite and calm the mind. Didn't you say that it's not good to rest recently? The book says, drink more of this..."

First Emperor:……

He looked at the big bowl that Zhao Ying pushed over with a look of disgust, then picked it up and took a sip.

Zhao Ying didn't force him to drink as if he was dealing with an errand, anyway, just drink as much as he wanted, and it wouldn't make the old man really full.

"In the past few days, the Confucianism and Mohist families have gathered more than 1000 disciples. I have sent Chen Ping from my house to give them unified training. Three days later, they will officially set off..."

Having said that, Zhao Ying couldn't help but smile.

"No matter what, give them a little time to buy books..."

After hearing this, Emperor Shi Huang couldn't help laughing.

"This matter, you just have a name. Didn't you find a Daqin storyteller? Let him do it with your Chen Ping..."

Zhao Ying smiled and nodded.

Although this matter is very important, the matter of guiding public opinion and changing people's thinking is not something that can be achieved overnight. He still has a lot of important things to do, so it is naturally impossible to spend all his energy on this.

After breakfast, the grandparents wandered around the Zhangtai Palace for a while, digesting and digesting food, and then returned to the palace, ready to start reviewing the memorials.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside.

"Report to Your Majesty, the urgent report from Jiuyuan County—"

When Emperor Shi Huang heard this, his face immediately became serious, and Zhao Ying couldn't help but put down the brush in his hand, stood up and stood next to Emperor Shi Huang.

The fact that he reviewed the memorials for the first emperor was known to no one other than a few maids in the palace who served closely, Hei, the head of the Black Ice Terrace, and Zhao Gao, who has now been reduced to the groom of the emperor's eldest grandson Zhao Ying's mansion.

Zhao Ying was also unwilling to cause unnecessary criticism and disputes because of this kind of incident, and to cause unnecessary troubles for the first emperor.

After all, although he just wanted to share some burden for the first emperor, so that the old man's health could be better, but if he really said it, his behavior had seriously overstepped.

Therefore, as long as there are outsiders around, he usually stands aside and waits on him. Even Hu Hai, who recently became a lieutenant in the imperial army and spent every day in the palace, did not discover this little secret between him and the first emperor.

Of course, it was mainly because Zhao Ying asked the First Emperor to impose a ban on Hu Hai not to trespass without permission.

In a blink of an eye, a servant came in hurriedly from the outside with a roll of bamboo slips in his hand, and stood not far from the first emperor.

Zhao Gao was not there, so Zhao Ying consciously assumed the role of Zhao Gao temporarily, stepped forward to take the bamboo slips, walked up to him, and handed them to Shi Huangdi.

Then, stretched his head and looked aside.

Sure enough, there was nothing good about Jiuyuan County's urgent report.

As Jiuyuan and Shangjun have also been hit by heavy snow in recent days, several tribes of the Xiongnu near Jiuyuan County have been severely affected, and there has been a serious food crisis.

Therefore, as soon as the heavy snow stopped, they couldn't wait to launch a surprise attack on several villages and towns in Jiuyuan County.

Hit Grass Valley.

Several villages and towns were destroyed and thousands of people suffered.

Su Jiao, the general in charge of guarding Jiuyuan County, was furious and had already launched a retaliatory counterattack. Near the border of Jiuyuan County, he fought several brutal encounters with the Xiongnu.

Although they repelled the Huns several times, these small tribes of the Huns, like maggots on the tarsus, still harassed them from time to time.But Su Jiao was trapped in the snow, unable to pursue in depth, and also failed to take the opportunity to expand the results of the battle.

So, this memorial from Su Jiao.

One is to report the Huns' invasion to the court, and the other is to plead guilty to the court.

Looking at the memorial from Jiuyuan County in front of him, Shi Huang couldn't help but frown.What he was concerned about was that the Huns harassed the border again. As for whether Su Jiao pleaded guilty or not, that was actually the case.

After all, the Xiongnu's similar behavior happened almost every year, and he had long been familiar with it.
