Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 135 Zhao Si: That minister can only die for His Majesty to see!

"Your Majesty, when the Shang Dynasty reformed, the territory of Daqin was still very small, so no matter whether it was a well-organized government order or a popular law, in fact, the left and right were only in Guanzhong. Most of the big nobles and old clans surrounded Xianyang. In a few days, the decree can arrive within three or four days, and even the farthest place can be reached in less than a month.

Shang Jun’s reform method is to go in and tell them from door to door that the laws of Daqin have changed, and the laws of Daqin have changed.

But now that the Great Qin has ruled the world, how far are the nobles from all over the world from Xianyang?
It takes half a year to go back and forth to the farthest place. Whether it is the delivery of the king's order or the punishment according to the law, the time is long and the transmission of news is slow. If you are far away, you will be selfish, and if you are slow, you will change!
Therefore, in the current Daqin, if the government orders are to be accessible and the laws are consistent, they can no longer go in according to Shang Jun’s practice, telling them from door to door that the laws of Daqin have changed, and telling them in other people’s homes that they should Carrying out laws that are bad for them will naturally give rise to selfishness and change of heart.

Today's Daqin should not go in, but let them come. "

Zhao Si has put in a lot of effort in reading these days, and he can basically read some of the works of various schools of thought, especially the books related to Legalism. consult.

Zhao Si is now the first emperor's personal secretary. Although Zhao Si has no way to make decisions and advice when dealing with government affairs, Zhao Si has to help the first emperor check the classics and memorials over the years when the first emperor is handling government affairs.

And these have also become Zhao Si's new source of nutrition.

Today's Zhao Si dares to stand here and talk nonsense, even denying the wrong direction of the current Great Qin's centralization of power, not only because Zhao Si is standing on the shoulders of history, but also because Zhao Si is really full of ink now.

"The nobles of the six countries gathered in one place. They have a large number of servants and concubines, many retainers, and even private soldiers who are willing to die for them. No matter how brave the Qin soldiers are, the Qin soldiers are no matter how profitable they are, but the Qin soldiers did not stand in front of them. When the sword is not on them, they will feel lucky in their hearts. They will even think that Daqin will not be able to govern the place without them.

The mountains are high and the sea is far away, they occupy a lot of fertile land, do not pay taxes, do not obey the king's order, do not abide by the laws of Qin, and frequently lynch. Isn't this a betrayal of Qin and His Majesty?

Is it because they did not blatantly propose the restoration of the six countries, should they be forgiven and tolerated?

For them, they should be moved to Guanzhong, let them lose their fields and private soldiers, let the old Qin people surround them, and hang long swords over their heads. Only in this way can they settle down. "

"It's just that this move will inevitably lead to the resistance of the old nobles of the six countries... If you are a little careless, you may know that the old things of Lord Changping will repeat..." Zhao Si said seriously.

"The old nobles who need to be relocated all have extensive influence in the local area. They may not elect the six royal families because of this, and thus have the idea of ​​​​restoration. They even split up the local area because of this... Raise troops to compete with the Great Qin..." Zhao Si said seriously.

This is essentially a struggle by the central government to deprive local forces of their rights.

But there is no struggle without bloodshed or resistance.

The nobles are not fools, they are so good at being the local emperor, and they want their family to move to Guanzhong with just a piece of imperial edict.

It is impossible for them not to understand that when they arrive in Guanzhong, it is human beings for knives and me for fish and meat.It is also impossible for them to abandon their land, slaves, power, and prestige.

No matter how high-sounding this kind of thing is said, it is ultimately a real struggle for interests and power. There are a hundred high-sounding reasons, and no matter how righteous you are, it is useless for the country and the people.

"Are you worried that the Six Kingdoms will be restored?" Shi Huang asked Zhao Si with a smile on his face.

"Naturally, the Six Kingdoms dare not restore it, and they are not fools. They have already been destroyed by the Qin Kingdom once, and it is because of this that the old Guild of the Six Kingdoms pushed them to carry out the restoration."

"If they were really so loyal to the emperor and patriotic, they would have already begun to restore the six kingdoms. The current Great Qin would not be so peaceful. It would have been full of chaos and disputes, and what His Majesty encountered would not be a simple assassination.

In the final analysis, it is that they will not be satisfied with being deprived of their power and wealth.

Before Daqin recognized their titles, recognized their land and property, and even needed to rely on them to govern the country, the restrictions on them were nothing more than a new order to bring troops to the head of Guizhou. Their power and wealth were still there, and the losses they suffered were minimal Naturally, they would not be willing to openly resist the rule of Great Qin, and use their lives to restore the six kingdoms as kings and pioneers.

Your Majesty has already destroyed the Six Kingdoms once...

The unification of Great Qin relied on the masters of tigers and wolves!
Therefore, Baijia is willing to be the fate of the Great Qin!
But in my opinion, the so-called Mandate of Heaven is always only within the range of the Qin Nu. "

The First Emperor nodded, looked at Zhao Si playfully and said, "The destiny is only within the range of the Qin crossbow? I have already destroyed the six kingdoms once, so what are you afraid of?"

"Qianshou!" Zhao Si said in a deep voice.

"They are powerful, famous, rich, and have vast fields in the local area. The head of Guizhou will be bewitched by them because of this, and Daqin's reputation is really not very good after leaving Guanzhong... Daqin is not afraid of pruning branches and leaves. The branches and leaves are cut again. If there are too many, it will not affect the growth of the trunk, on the contrary, it will increase, but it cannot leave the land and rain.

If Qin loses the people, he will gain the noble, and if he loses the noble, he will gain the people.

In the past, the Great Qin retained their power, prestige, and land, and essentially let them implement the laws of Qin and the laws of Qin to squeeze the people, making them the spokespersons of the Great Qin, and the implementers of the laws of the Great Qin. At the same time as thinking about restoration, Daqin's public opinion was also discredited.

If the current Daqin wants to prune its branches and leaves, it must change the image of Daqin. When choosing to abandon them, it must win the support of the people.

If there is no head of Guizhou who is willing to pay taxes for them and fight for them, even if they are restored, there will be no disturbances. "Zhao Si replied.

"You lose the people when you gain, and you gain the people when you lose..."

"Your Majesty, what Qianshou did was just to survive... This is also the main reason why I proposed to lower the price of salt."

"Um……"

To be honest, Emperor Shi Huang was tempted!

He is really tempted!

He also has every reason to do these things, a capable emperor who abolished the enfeoffment system, insisted on the prefecture and county system, and created a great unification.

Facing the strategy of the centralization of power, there is no reason not to be tempted.

Throughout the long river of history, those with great talents and strategies must control the power of the world.

The First Emperor has never been a person who likes to compromise. A king who likes to compromise may be a benevolent king with a good reputation, but he can never be an emperor through the ages.

"If you were asked to do it, what would you do?" Shi Huang looked at Zhao Si playfully and asked.

Zhao Si felt a sudden...

To be honest, Zhao Si only dared to talk about this kind of thing that risked the disgrace of the world, but did not dare to actually do it.

Because Zhao Si really can't do well...

His conclusions, plans, and theories of action are directly copied from history, but history only records the macro trend, but does not introduce details.

Not to mention that the times are different, and the situations we face are also different.

Just like the Tweeting Order and Migration Order of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it was based on the fact that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty himself was an ambitious king, and the central army was sufficient to suppress the local area, so that it could be implemented smoothly.

Putting it in the Song Dynasty, it is recommended to move the rich and the whole family, and I am afraid that the dynasty will change in minutes.

To do this kind of thing, you must have the right time, place and people. The ruler must have great ambitions, and the ministers must have the skills and ability.

And even so, there are still many crises, the king will face the risk of losing everything if he is not careful, and the courtiers must have the determination to die with their lives and feed their swords with their flesh.

Throughout history, how many good deaths have there been for reformers?
Shang Yang was tortured by a chariot, and Chao Cuo was cut in half.

Chao Cuo forcibly cut down the feudal clan, taking great risks.Chao Cuo's father's persuasion was ineffective, and he committed suicide by taking poison.

So here comes the question, can Daqin be called an emperor with lofty aspirations through the ages?

Of course, the First Emperor was sitting in front of Zhao Si.

Zhao Si knew the danger, but he didn't have the determination to die.

As a refined egoistic modern person, it is Zhao Si's moral quality to be altruistic and benefit the people while ensuring his own safety and food and clothing.

But Zhao Si had never prepared or thought of martyrdom.

So Zhao Si resolutely admits...

"Report to Your Majesty... I dare not do it, and I can't do it well."

When the First Emperor heard this, he glanced at Zhao Si with a strange expression and laughed dumbfoundedly.

"Isn't it bold when you said it just now?"

"Speaking...it's not doing. Since ancient times, the unity of knowing and doing is the most difficult thing. Now I can only know but not do."

The first emperor was aroused by Zhao Si's words of being greedy for life and fearing death, and carefully examined the little guy who had just spoken loudly in front of him but now directly confessed his love.

"What if I didn't ask you to carry out the relocation order?" The smile on Shi Huangdi's face gradually faded, and his sharp eyes looked directly into Zhao Si's pupils.

Zhao Si was shocked!
The first emperor's face was serious, and he didn't look like a fake!

God is pitiful, Zhao Si knows that action cannot be united, this is no longer a question of daring, but whether he can, even if he pushes the duck to the shelf, facing such a national policy, Zhao Si can't understand it with his current ability.

At present, most of Zhao Si's knowledge comes from books rather than practice. It is easy to give advice, after all, there is history to learn from, but it is extremely difficult to do practical things.

"Your Majesty, I have no such ability..."

"It was you who proposed the relocation of the old nobles of the six kingdoms. If you don't come, who will do it?" Shi Huang frowned slightly.

Zhao Si heard that Emperor Shihuang didn't seem to let go of his thoughts.

……

He was really just talking about a suggestion... Zhao Si was a little numb, but he looked at Shi Huangdi with an expression that didn't seem to be fake.

Zhao Si could only answer solemnly with a bitter face: "Then the minister can only die for His Majesty to see."
