heard.

Fusu suddenly realized.

In the past, Daqin practiced farming and warfare.

The foundation should be consolidated from the "farming war", and "farming" involves too many people, and the court can't "solidify" at all. Moreover, the deterrent power of the Great Qin is mainly reflected in the "war". Therefore, the Great Qin first What needs to be stabilized is the 'military spirit'.

Fusu cupped his hands and said, "Fusu understands."

"Whether it is the head of the local government or the grassroots officials, although they are all painful, the army is the root."

"As long as the Qin army is not chaotic, even if there is a riot in the Kanto region, Daqin still has room for maneuver."

"Once something happens to the army, Daqin will be in real danger."

"The 'robbing money' that you mentioned before, the money will eventually be used in the army. As long as the army's morale remains strong and the soldiers are willing to trust Daqin, Daqin will be able to stabilize his figure in the undercurrent."

"Furthermore, when the soldiers get money, most of it will be sent back home, which invisibly reduces the pressure on the local area."

"Sir wise."

Ji Heng nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice, "There are three respects in being a human being."

"The army that protects the country, the teacher who educates people, and the doctor who saves people."

"The military is the cornerstone of the country's stability."

"As long as there are no problems with the army, Daqin will always have a chance."

"However, relying on salt and iron alone to collect money and food is not enough. Daqin should vigorously encourage iron ore mining and use the excess iron ore to cast coins. Daqin has a huge demand for money at present. The tense situation in Daqin is relieved."

Fusu nodded, and said in a deep voice: "The imperial court has issued an order to vigorously reward ironworkers who increase iron ore mining and pig iron production, and also sent many Mohists to go there. Presumably, it will not take long before the local pig iron production will increase. There has been an increase, but it may be some time before production actually increases."

Ji Heng didn't continue to say more, but said: "It's getting late, it's time to go back and rest."

"Tomorrow I will see the descendants of Qin Shifu."

Fusu hesitated to speak.

He actually had some questions to ask.

But seeing that Ji Heng was not interested, he didn't disturb him any more, he cupped his hands, got up and left Ji Heng's room.

Ji Heng yawned.

After traveling for a long time, he was already tired.

He covered his body with a quilt made of withered grass, and fell asleep with his clothes on.

The next day.

After Ji Heng and others had their meal, they followed Shi Yue to the pavilion chief's room.

The pavilion chief's room is not very big, except for the three parties and a few cases, there are two extra-large bamboo bookshelves, which are full of notebooks, which record the specific situation of the Qin Pavilion over the years.

Shi Yue was very enthusiastic and forthright.

When Fusu and others entered the main room, they immediately ordered Qin Zu to pour out the hot soup, and then went to urge the descendants of 'Qin Shifu' in person.

a time.

There are only five Fusu people left in the pavilion chief's room.

Ji Heng sat at the end.

Soon.

Shi Yue brought Zhai You, a descendant of 'Qin Shifu', into the house.

Zhai You is a middle-aged man of medium stature.

Shi Yue introduced: "Zhai You is a capable person in our pavilion, and he is rated as the best in the county for raising cattle every year."

"You talk, I still have something to do in the booth."

After saying a few words, Shi Yue wisely left.

Di You looked around the room, bowed to Fu Su, and said, "Mr. Qin Ting Di You has seen the superior."

Fusu looked at this person up and down, then slightly cupped his hands and said: "There is no need to be so polite, I was ordered by the court to record and verify the relevant Qin history. After hearing that you are the father of Qin, I dared to invite you Come here, please don’t hesitate to say something.”

There was a strange look in Zhai You's eyes.

When he heard Shi Yue say that someone from the government came to record the history of Qin, he was actually very surprised. The state of Qin has been established for hundreds of years, and their Zhai family has also been rooted in Qinting for hundreds of years. In the past, he had never heard that the imperial court would send a special person to record and verify Qin. history.

He hurriedly said: "I know everything."

"However, my Zhai family has long since fallen, and many historical materials are passed down by word of mouth, so they may not be accurate."

"Please forgive me."

Fusu said: "It's okay, it's just as a supplementary evidence."

Zhai You pondered for a while, then began to talk, saying: "Back then, the ancestor Feizi was rewarded by King Mu of Zhou and granted to the Qin Pavilion. The Qin Pavilion at that time was different from what it is now. Among them, the Rong Di in the world at that time were mainly Chi Di, Bai Di, and Chang Di, and the Rong were Shan Rong, Bei Rong, and Xi Rong."

"But it's different from what the world knows."

"Rong and Di are actually close relatives of Huaxia, and they are also descendants of Yanhuang."

"There are quite a few Rong people with the surname Ji."

"The reason why they are called Rongdi is mainly because the Shang and Zhou dynasties established the Dingding Central Plains, and these tribes were backward in culture because of their marginal location, and their language customs were not the same as those of the Zhou family. In addition, they were unwilling to submit to the Zhou royal family. Therefore, the Zhou people who occupied the Central Plains regarded them as barbarians who refused to obey the king."

"In Shang Dynasty, these barbarians were called Fang."

"Zhou Shi is Rongdi."

"And during the time of King Xiao of Zhou, Feizi's ancestor was enshrined in the Qin Pavilion."

"Enjoy the reality of a prince, but not the name of a prince."

"However, the status of the Qin people was low at that time. Even though they worked diligently for the Zhou royal family, they were never taken seriously by the Zhou royal family. On some occasions, they would even call the Qin people 'Qin Yi'."

"And at that time there were always Qin people who were captured by the nobles of the Western Zhou Dynasty and served as slaves."

"In the next period of time, the Qin people have been struggling to survive in the pinch between the Zhou people and Rongdi, but during the reign of King Zhou Li, the Qin people gradually gained attention."

What Zhai You said was very brief.

He also knows very little about many things.

After listening for a while, Ji Heng opened a bamboo slip and added: "After King Zhou Li succeeded to the throne, he did not follow the old calendar and use the old nobles who were nobles in the world. Duke Rongyi and Duke Guo, who were experts in the field, were at that time the Zhou royal family was weakening day by day, and in order to save the economy of the Zhou royal family, Rong Yi took the measures of mountains, forests and lakes as the royal family's patent."

"Ultimately, this law caused public resentment to boil over."

"King Zhou Li also adopted a high-pressure policy in public opinion."

"Anyone who slanders the emperor will be punished, and the well-known saying 'Fangmin's mouth is better than Fangchuan' comes from this incident."

Zhai You nodded and said, "That's true."

"A few years after this order was promulgated, the Zhou people besieged the palace with sticks and clamored to attack and kill King Zhou Li."

Speaking of which.

Zhai You couldn't help laughing, and said: "The paradox is that at this time King Zhou Li ordered his subordinates to lead the guards, but those generals directly replied, 'Your Majesty, we have soldiers with the people of the country, and the people of the country are soldiers, and soldiers are soldiers." The people of the country, the people of the country are rioting, who can the king call?'"

"So King Zhou Li could only flee the capital with his cronies."

"In the end, he died as a foreigner."

Ji Heng closed a copy of the bamboo slips, shook his head and said, "Perhaps King Zhou Li has something wrong, but judging from what you said and the records on some bamboo slips, I think that's how King Zhou Li is considered It's the fatuous king who is a bit biased."

"At that time, most of the history books were recorded by full-time nobles."

"The actions of King Zhou Li are obviously contrary to the old aristocracy, and also harmed the interests of the old aristocracy, so the historical records cannot be trusted."

"Some measures of King Zhou Li are worthy of recognition."

"He may be a monarch who wants to do something, and he has even achieved something. Otherwise, Xiong Qu, the powerful king of Chu at that time, would never have given up his title of king because he was afraid of King Zhou Li's conquest."

"Therefore, the evaluation of King Li of Zhou should not only be based on the history books of the Central Plains, but also combine the views of the barbarians Rong and Di."

Zhai You frowned slightly.

He didn't expect that Ji Heng would speak for the faint king.

But he didn't refute, just sat quietly at the side, and let Ji Heng write down these words, but after thinking about it, he seemed to think of something, and muttered: "This official said there is something wrong." To some extent, the 'Official Mountains and Seas' practiced by Daqin today and the 'Burning Books and Alchemists' some time ago are somewhat similar to what King Zhou Li did."

Zhai You's voice was not loud.

But in the silent pavilion chief's room, it was clearly audible.

The faces of Fusu and other young masters changed slightly.

Ji Heng raised his head, glanced slowly at Zhai You, then at the other young masters with livid faces, and said indifferently: "To a certain extent, there are indeed similarities between the two, but King Zhou Li's move is more important. He has offended almost all the old nobles and Zhou people, so he is doomed to fail."

"We are here this time to write down these."

"So that future generations can learn from history."

Hearing Ji Heng's words, Fusu and the others looked slightly relieved.

But his face was still cold.

Only Fusu took a deep look at Ji Heng.

He thought of what Ji Heng said before that all history is contemporary history, which is just an interpretation of the same thing from different angles. Comparing the reforms of King Li of Zhou and the reforms related to the Great Qin Dynasty, it may not prove the correctness of this sentence.

But Ji Heng has learned from experience.

That's why Da Qin didn't make the same mistakes as King Zhou Li.

Ji Heng said slowly: "According to the relevant historical books, the people of Qin declined because of Zhou's prosperity, and also prospered because of Zhou's decline."

"Regardless of the historical truth, the Zhou royal family was indeed in decline at that time, which is indisputable."

Zhai You nodded and said, "That's true."

"It is recorded in some books of the family that Rongdi, headed by Xiǎn yǔn at that time, also strengthened their resistance to the Zhou royal family. Just when the Zhou royal family building was about to collapse, the Zhou royal family began to fight against the Zhou royal family in order to protect themselves. Mobilize all forces that can be mobilized on a large scale, including the Qin people."

"It's also from then on."

"The arrogant Zhou people finally bowed their noble heads to the Qin people whom they have despised for a long time."

There was excitement in Zhai You's eyes.

As if he was in the current world, watching the people of Zhou asking for help from the people of Qin, the people of Zhou who were invincible in the past can no longer be arrogant to the people of Qin from now on.

Ji Heng shook his head.

He is not interested in the love-hate entanglement between Qin people and Zhou people.

He is interested in the unsolved case of King Zhou You.

For the past few days, he has been reading the history books he brought with him. The more he reads, the more confusing things about King Zhou You become. It’s just that after Shenhou Quanrong broke through Haojing, he burned a lot of Zhou history, and many historical truths was buried.

He already had some guesses in his mind.

But not enough.

It's just that the more you know, the more you recognize winners and losers.

Zhai You said: "It was also at this time that the Qin people were completely reborn from the ashes."

　It's not me who reversed the case for King Zhou Li.

　　This is the point of view of the archaeological and historical circles in recent years, and I just borrow it.

　　Do not represent personal views.
