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

Chapter 531 Changes in the world

"What did you find?" Zhao Si looked at Wei Liao with a smile.

"Manpower can also change the current situation... Qin has a great grandson, which is a great blessing for the country." Wei Liao said in a deep voice.

In fact, Zhao Si's impression of Wei Liao, or Huang Shigong, is not very good.

As the saying goes, the butt determines the head. As the crown prince of the Qin Dynasty, how could Zhao Si have a good impression of this group of people who were secretly committed to subverting the rule of the Qin Dynasty.

But if we put aside their class standpoint, they each have their own reasons for opposing Qin.

The so-called hatred between the country and the family reflects the difference in ideals and ambitions. Before he returned from the sea, there was indeed a problem with Qin's national policy.

The various policies of the First Emperor are very meaningful, but we cannot confuse right and wrong and say that Qin's policies are good governance.

Now that Wei Liao was standing in front of him, Zhao Si realized that the other party was a complete idealist.

It's not that the other party doesn't support the unification, but it doesn't support the continued use of Shang Jun's old strategy after the unification.

"You want to see my uncle, why don't you go straight to Tangquan? Come to Xianyang first? Do you want Gu to be your guarantee?" Zhao Si asked again.

"Sir, you know how to read faces, can you tell anything?" Zhao Si asked with a smile.

There is no doubt about Wei Liao's ability, but he was a state captain before. Zhao Si is not qualified to win this talent now, and Zhao Si is not qualified to make decisions for the First Emperor.

"The Six Kingdoms are still in fashion and can be separated by the Qin State. There are only a bunch of bereaved dogs left. How can they work together?" Wei Liao smiled.

"But I'm afraid hundreds of families will be dissatisfied with this..."

In this way, Zhao Si can understand this group of people.

"The people will go to Tangquan to apologize to His Majesty." Wei Liao said after a moment of silence.

"Nothing is perfect, it's just a matter of trade-offs." Zhao Si said with a smile.

"I'm still surprised. If you are such a talented person and serve as a national captain, my eldest father will not let you go, right?" Zhao Si asked.

"Three generations can tell the rise and fall of one dynasty. Qin has your majesty, the eldest son, and the grandson. The three generations should build the foundation for eternity. The people are brave, and I want to ask your highness, what do you plan to do after the Qin Dynasty is unified?" Wei Liao asked.

Wei Liao is a great talent. Ask yourself. Now that the national policy of the Qin Dynasty has changed, there is a high probability that Wei Liao will not be held accountable too much based on his father's personality. Wei Liao is a smart man and has followed his father for many years. He should know this.

Wei Liao's becoming a state captain was actually semi-forced. After being caught by the First Emperor, he was immediately entrusted with important tasks.

In fact, except for a rebellion triggered by the order to move the royal mausoleum, Qin State did not have many formal confrontations with anti-Qin forces.

If Da Qin had a chance to change, why would he run away?

"First, during the time of unification, the people already hated your majesty because of their political views. Secondly, the people did not become officials, but left without saying goodbye. Your majesty also sent people to chase him, but he didn't catch him." Wei Liaozi said.

"The so-called human heart is nothing more than the distinction between east, west, north and south. People are not divided into men, women, old and young. The so-called hundreds of schools are nothing more than recasting the code of law. Each of the hundreds of schools of thought has its own emphasis. I do not intend to depose the hundreds of schools of thought and stand alone, but Gu believes that the theories of various schools of thought should be based on Qin law and should not be beyond the law." Zhao Si said.

What he wants to do is a dignified way, and conspiracy and power are really unacceptable.

With the love of the First Emperor, he would not let the other person leave even if he could not get the other person's heart.

"To find the roots, we need to trace the origins. The reason why people came to Xianyang first was because they wanted to see His Highness." Wei Liao said with a smile.

Their starting points and ultimate goals are actually different. The reason why there is a wave of waves is because they want to achieve their ambitions with a common prerequisite, that is, the demise of the Qin State.

Was this group of people wiped out because of a turmoil that didn't even affect Guanzhong? This is naturally impossible.

Wei Liao did not agree with Qin, but he supported unification.

There is nothing to hide. Anyone who asks Zhao Si is willing to openly tell what he will do in the future.

"What about sir? Are you going to become an official or continue to live in seclusion? Or continue to make all-out efforts to cultivate anti-Qin forces?" Zhao Si asked.

To put it bluntly, Zhao Si's appearance exceeded that of Wei Liao, which was the fundamental reason why he came to see Zhao Si.

After all, he is the crown prince and must succeed to the throne. Strictly speaking, there is no difference between his eldest father's and his own.

"The unification of the Qin State is for the sake of the country, and what follows is nothing more than the hearts of the people and hundreds of families." Zhao Si did not shy away from saying what he planned to do in the future.

Zhao Si nodded upon hearing this and made no further attempts to persuade him to stay.

"Let's go... Gu will prepare a car for you. Also, by the way, I'll say hello to my eldest father." Zhao Si nodded.

There are also a bunch of remnants of the Six Kingdoms who support returning to the feudal system, and there are still some people who have lost their families and fallen in class simply because of the Qin State...

Zhao Siju was left in the palace and fell into a trance with emotion.

Although the First Emperor would most likely not care about such matters, Zhao Si still did not intend to interfere too much when it came to old matters.

"Does Your Highness have any concerns?" Wei Liao asked again.

Zhao Si was shocked, isn't this what Li Er looks like?

Just as heavy laws are needed in troubled times, Da Qin wanted to unify the world and use one country to fight against six countries, so it had to squeeze out all the national power. However, this was only an expedient strategy in times of war, not a foundation for eternity.

"Your Highness is wise!" Wei Liao bowed and saluted upon hearing this.

"So, in fact, the people of the six countries who opposed Qin in the past were not like-minded?" Zhao Si asked.

"Besides watching the orphans?" Zhao Si asked.

Huang Shigong came and Wei Liao left...

"The so-called conspiracy is not as good as the conspiracy, and the mystery is worse than the good. As the overall situation becomes easier, Qin has already won... It's just that some of the aftermath cannot be seen, and some of the deaths are silent. Not everyone can die calmly. There is no essential difference between seizing his will and killing his people. Ten years ago, everyone in the world hated Qin. It can be said that everyone in the world is anti-Qin. Now, people in the world are still there, but they will not oppose Qin. Yes..." Wei Liao said.

"The appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, the appearance of the sun and the moon." Wei Liao was not stingy with his evaluation.

But the situation has changed unknowingly.

The endless assassinations in the past disappeared without a trace, and the rumors that were flying in the sky also disappeared without notice.

At the very least, rumors like the death of Qin II and the death of Zulong have completely lost their market.

At present, the most public opinion is nothing more than the dispute between hundreds of schools of thought. The people of the world seem to have unknowingly agreed that Qin is the rule maker.

Everything seemed to be no big move, but everything changed quietly.

It can be seen from the gathering of hundreds of scholars in Xianyang this time, and all kinds of old antiques coming one after another. From the perspective of the entire society, Da Qin has been officially recognized.

And people like Huang Shigong also took the initiative to show up...

"Under the sunshine, the scenery is still the same, but everything is different." Zhao Si smiled.

This is good, at least it means that what you are doing is the right thing, and you should continue to do it unremittingly. The current social trend of the Qin State has gradually become more relaxed, but the Qin Law has not changed much. The Qin Law based on the Law of the Shang Dynasty has obviously lagged behind the entire era. This is the last layer of window paper in the old era, and it is also the largest of residue.

The laws of Qin must be changed, and they must be changed as soon as possible.

"Ji Zhou..." Zhao Si waved his hand, and Ji Zhou, who was reading a book beside him, stood up and saluted.

"Go and urge Prime Minister Li!"

The purpose of establishing the New Qin Law as soon as possible is to adapt to the changes in society as soon as possible, stabilize the foundation of the Qin Dynasty, and remove the last unreasonable aspects of the Qin Dynasty.

Secondly, it is also to set an example for hundreds of families and make the New Qin Law the bottom line of social rules.

It doesn’t matter what political leanings the various schools of thought have, but they cannot go against the laws of Qin.

At the very least, we cannot promote ideas that are clearly contrary to the law.

The third reason is that the First Emperor will not come back from Tangquan until the new law is passed.

The little child slave has been away from his biological father for so long. It would be a lie to say that he doesn't want to. Besides, managing the government affairs of a country is really tiring... Zhao Si wants to find the First Emperor to replace him as soon as possible.

"The system of three ministers and nine ministers is still not reasonable enough. The emperor's work intensity is too high... This problem is too difficult to solve. To be precise, no matter what system it is, if you want to concentrate power, diligence is necessary, but you still have to look back. Let’s discuss the reform of the court..." Zhao Si murmured to himself.

Li Xiang received Zhao Si's urging and said that he was already working non-stop to prepare the new Qin Code of Laws.

Li Si had been preparing to change the law for a long time, so it was relatively simple to do. Moreover, Zhao Si often gave Li Si a small start, so Li Si knew Zhao Si's requirements for the new code and his philosophy of governing the country, so he did not need to revise it frequently.

After all, Li Si was the prime minister. Although the old officials were hostile to Li Si, Li Si still had his own connections and prestige, and had many talents who could be used. He quickly worked out a general framework.

And throughout the world, the slave liberation movement was also being implemented with great vigor.

Guanzhong, as the political center, did the fastest. After all, various armed forces such as Zhi Jinwu and political bigwigs gathered in Guanzhong. Whether they were official slaves or private slaves, they did not encounter much resistance.

The results are also very gratifying.

After the release of Guanzhong alone, the total number of official and private slaves registered was 2.3 million.

After the slave release order, the Qin Dynasty gained 2.3 million more farmers.

From now on, they will all be controlled by the laws of Daqin.

In addition, there are tens of thousands of people scattered here and there. They are the people obtained by the officials from various places in Guanzhong from clearing out the gangsters and gangsters in the mountains and forests. The number is not large, mainly because the system and development in the Guanzhong are too sound. Kuroto is really a big problem.

If it were placed in the land of the Six Kingdoms, there would definitely not be that many official and private slaves released, and the execution would not be as thorough. Correspondingly, there would be relatively more black households cleared out.

After all, Qin is a victorious country... It is normal for Guanzhong to have more slaves.

When the Slave Release Order was implemented, local governments actually complained a lot, because official slaves were considered the property of local governments.

The local government said it belonged to the Qin State, but in fact no ruler was willing to completely confiscate the financial and human resources to the state treasury.

In the past, I could control it myself, but now I have to wait for funding from above. Does that mean the same thing?
Of course, complaints are mainly concentrated in counties that are already relatively mature for development.

In wild places like Lingnan and Longxi, the local officials in counties and counties cooperated quite happily after learning about the order to move the royal tomb.

The main reason is that not many people are willing to go to remote rural areas. People have to be relocated from the interior every year. The local officials really want to split one person and use it as two people. The manpower shortage is really severe.

His Royal Highness Taisun has publicly stated that the population released by these slave manumission orders will give priority to supporting areas to be developed that are short of manpower.

Then I, the counties in Longxi and Lingnan, must have something to say.

When you ask for people from above, they ask for them confidently.

Of course, before asking for someone, you must fully support His Highness Taisun's policies.

Fortunately, there is not much difference between slaves and homesteaders in various areas to be developed. With fewer people and more work, who cares whether you are a slave or not?
So with the beginning of the slave liberation order, border counties and counties from all over the country responded with support, and then memorials like snowflakes flew to Xianyang.

There are those who are moved by emotion and reason, there are those who show misery to win sympathy, and there are those who are righteous and strict with others.

To sum it up, boss, if you are poor, give some people.

Most of the officials who govern the border are rigorous and have local influence as well as political considerations. The border must do practical things. Those who are proficient in power and politics go to the border and it is really not as good as those who can do it.

This group of people usually goes straight to the point, but it is difficult for them to rack their brains and use every means to get people from the central government this time.

It's not that I can't, but I didn't think it was necessary before...

When it came time to put it to use, Zhao Si found that the words of this group of practical talents sounded better than the words of those flattering and sycophantic people.

Zhao Si was amused and began to plan the population of various counties and counties.

Two and a half million people may seem like a lot, but actually they are not that many.

There are twenty or thirty border counties in Da Qin...the land is vast and sparsely populated, and evenly dividing them can only solve urgent needs.

At present, Da Qin's territory covers the Yin Mountains and Lingnan. The border areas even occupy two-thirds of Da Qin's territory in terms of area.

What can two million people do if they throw two-thirds of Great Qin's territory into it?

Zhao Si roughly planned to give a population of 1.5 million to the north of Longxi, which was distributed to various counties. At the same time, he issued an edict to let Meng Tian set up a county in Yinshan.

Yinshan Mountain was captured by the Qin Dynasty. The grasslands are naturally dangerous. It makes no sense for the Qin Dynasty not to set up a county here.

As for Lingnan, a total of 800,000 people are allocated...

This place has been in business for a long time, and to be honest, the land in Lingnan is not bad. If it is developed well, the population will increase, and it will be self-sufficient in the future. Longxi can really only count on domestic support in the short term.

Next, it is estimated that 70% of the population obtained by freeing slaves will continue to be thrown to Longxi.

That place is too big now. If counties are established according to the plan, at least four more counties can be established.

Time... flies by as the policy progresses.

In the blink of an eye, spring blossoms and the cold winter seems to have never passed.

The direction of public opinion in the world has changed again and again, and people's lives have truly improved.

The corvee recruitment of grain and grass began one after another, and the shipping and trade military government also began to organize troops.

As for Zhao Sidi's little friend Wang Li, he has also gone overseas.

The world is busy and busy, but of course these are not important.

The most important thing is that Da Qin's new code of law is about to be completed.
