Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 120 Recognizing Loyal Ministers in a Dangdang State, Thinking of Good Generals in Danger of the Country! (seeking subscription)

Quiet all around.

Fusu and others were silent.

They actually don't know much about the fortune of the Qin people, but after Ji Heng's efforts, they also deeply understand that it is not easy for the Qin people to make a fortune.

Ji Heng wrote down the relevant information.

Before the establishment of the Qin State, historical materials were very scarce.

After the founding of the country, Qin State had a special historian record, but just as the Zhou people deliberately concealed the information of the merchants, the Qin historians also downplayed the influence of the Zhou people, but it is undeniable that the empty check that King Ping of Zhou gave Qin State Very tempting.

That is the place where Zhou people made their fortunes, Zong Zhou.

It also had the most advanced production technology in the world at that time.

And all of this, following King Zhou Ping's light promise, all of them were handed over to the Qin people. Although Zong Zhou was indeed occupied by the Rong people at that time, the Zhou people in Zong Zhou had been fighting hard, and King Ping of Zhou was the last The Zhou people who supported the Zhou Dynasty also directly abandoned it.

It really doesn't feel bad for a cub to sell his grandfather.

When the Qin people were in the west, they were still in a semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural state. When they recaptured the old land of Zongzhou in the future, they officially turned into an agricultural country with the help of the production technology left by Zongzhou. Since then, the real situation of the Great Qin Dynasty has begun.

All this is thanks to King Ping of Zhou.

Think of this.

A sentence suddenly came to Ji Heng's mind: Personal destiny, of course, depends on self-struggle, and the process of history must also be considered at that time.

When Qin Xianggong first succeeded to the throne, he was troubled both internally and externally. He was not only defeated by Xirong, but also constantly rejected by Zhou people. At that time, he probably never imagined how he, a small doctor in Xichuang, would become the king of tigers and wolves who later swept the six countries. The founding king of Qin.

Fu Su frowned slightly.

He meditated secretly in his heart.

After listening to Ji Heng's words, he remembered a few words from "Madame Zheng Wu Predicts Ruzi".

"My lord is in great trouble and has been in the third year of Wei."

"I don't see his state, nor his room."

"If there are no good ministers, there will be no king for three years."

"The country is in chaos."

After the Shenhou Quanrong Rebellion, Duke Zheng Huan, the king of Zheng who defended the Zhou royal family, encountered a catastrophe and was killed by Quanrong. The state of Wei was detained for three years, and the king of the state of Wei at that time, Wei Wugong, was a staunch supporter of King Ping of Zhou.

It is not difficult to conclude that Zheng Wugong might have been threatened back then, and eventually fell to Zhou Pingwang.

The supporting forces of the Zhou royal family have always been the Zheng State and the Guo State. With the defection of the Zheng State, the orthodox King Xie of Zhou directly lost his arm, and it is difficult to compete with King Ping of Zhou.

Zheng Wujiwei might just be the tip of the iceberg at that time.

In the decades when the two kings of Zhou Xiewang and Zhou Ping stood side by side, the world may have gone through a series of thrilling, cruel and bloody political games. In the end, Zhou Pingwang had the last laugh, won the approval of all the princes, and beheaded the representative of the orthodox Zhou Xiewang, but it also directly led to the loss of the prestige of the Zhou royal family.

In this political game, the Qin people undoubtedly benefited a lot.

Not only was he ranked among the vassals, but he was also promised that as long as the Qin people could expel Xirong, then the Qishan occupied by Xirong and the land of abundant water would belong to the Qin people.

No matter what the final historical truth is, the blood and tears shed by the Qin people for nearly 300 years have finally won the recognition of the Central Plains Dynasty, and officially entered the stage of history as a new vassal state.

Looking back at the past when the Qin people founded the country.

Fusu couldn't help sighing, the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty was not easy.

After undergoing surname sacrificing, they were completely blocked from the Central Plains. The Qin people did not give up, and kept trying to return to the Central Plains. Bad time seized the opportunity and returned to the eyes of the world.

Fu Su stood up, bowed to Zhai You, bowed and said, "Thank you sir for completing the historical materials for me."

"Thank you Bo Qin."

Zhai You got up, and said politely: "The official's words are serious. I, the Zhai family, was originally a descendant of the clan, and now the court intends to investigate and record the history of Qin. I should give it all I have. However, I don't know much about the Zhai family. Wait until Xianggong After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the capital of the country was moved to Changyi, and I, the Zhai family, did not follow there, so I know little about what happened next."

"I really dare not speak again, and I ask the officials to forgive me."

"It doesn't matter." Fu Su said with a smile: "What Mr. said is very useful for us to repair historical materials. How dare you want more?"

immediately.

Fu Su paused for a moment, then suddenly said: "I don't know what your opinion is about Da Qin at the moment?"

A word fell.

Zhai You was taken aback.

With a look of embarrassment on his face, he said: "What is Daqin doing now? I'm a countryman, so I don't know so much."

"Sir, please don't make fun of me."

Fusu's expression was solemn, without any sign of joking, and he cupped his hands and said, "I'm asking sincerely. I've seen and heard a lot along the way from Xianyang. Daqin's current life is very barren, and even You can be called poor, you are a descendant of the Ying surname, and you are also a branch of the Daqin clan, so you should tell me the truth."

“We also need to have a deep understanding of place.”

Zhai You's face turned serious.

He glanced suspiciously at Fusu and the others, and pondered: "Aren't you the ones who surveyed and recorded historical materials under the prime minister's mansion? Why do you ask about local affairs?"

Fusu looked as usual, and said slowly: "It has been nine years since the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty, and several years since the implementation of the New Deal, but the imperial court also wanted to know the living conditions of the people at the bottom under the New Deal. function of local truth.”

"Oh?" Zhai You's eyes flickered.

Ji Heng glanced at Fusu, guessed what Fusu was thinking, and added: "This is the order of the eldest son."

heard.

Fusu's expression froze.

Young Master Gao's expression was slightly different.

They glanced at Zhai You, then at Fusu, and couldn't help lowering their heads to avoid showing themselves strange.

"Eldest son?" Zhai You was startled, not doubting him, and sighed: "Eldest son really has benevolence and righteousness in his heart, and he is considerate of the leaders of the world."

"Since the eldest son wants to know, how dare I, Zhai You, not tell?"

"I don't know about other places, but I still know a thing or two about how the Qianshou of Qinting lived."

"bitter!"

"bitter?"

Zhai You nodded and said, "It's suffering."

"It's not suffering in one aspect, but suffering in all aspects."

"Everyone who came along the road, you should have seen something. There are few men in the fields, and basically all the old and weak women and children are farming. If I don't have a good family background, my father used to be a villager. Maybe I am no different from other Guizhou heads. , even so, the past few years have not reduced corvee service, but the time is relatively shorter."

"The population of the Qin Pavilion is not too large, there are only about [-] households, but there are less than [-] young and strong men in the entire pavilion."

"It's really shocking."

Zhai You let out a long sigh.

Fusu was also silent.

Hu Hai condensed and said: "Is it really so hard?"

Zhai You gave Hu Hai a cold look, and said coldly, "How could I tell lies about this?"

"The men of each household in the pavilion have been confiscated for two to three years, and they don't know the date of return. The imperial court's oral tax is increasing every year. Farming, autumn harvest, weaving, etc. are all on the old and weak women and children. These years have suffered a lot. The weather has always been good, if there is a drought, storm, flood, locust plague, etc., I don’t know how many people will die in the place.”

"Thanks to the benevolence of the eldest son, he took care of the salt and iron and let the price of salt and iron drop a bit, otherwise the local resentment will only increase."

"However, Guizhou Headquarters did not benefit much."

"The problems of lack of youth and high talent that are pressing on the local heads of state have not been substantively resolved."

Zhai You paused for a moment, but also boldly said: "Zhou has declined due to the loss of his ancestor Zhou, and if Qin loses the hearts of Qin people, he may repeat the same mistakes."

"I know it's inappropriate to say this, but as a descendant of the Ying surname, I don't want Great Qin to be destroyed."

"Ugh."

Zhai You sighed again.

"Thank you sir for telling me." Fusu cupped his hands sincerely and said, "I will definitely pass this on to the eldest son. Daqin has indeed used the people too much these years, but the imperial court has noticed it now. In the following period of time, the imperial court will Changes will be made gradually.”

Zhai You said: "I hope so."

Fusu asked Zhai You a few more questions, and Zhai You answered exactly the same.

Then Zhai You left.

Fusu looked at the sound of Zhai You leaving, and sighed heavily, the other young masters in the room were also silent, a heavy and depressed emotion enveloped the pavilion chief's room.

Fu Su stood up and said in a deep voice: "What Zhai You said may be restrained."

"The situation in the local area is probably even more severe."

"Da Qin has no retreat right now. Even if His Majesty wants to stop, it may be difficult to turn around. I know so much, but I don't do anything."

Fusu wandered around.

No one in the room spoke.

Soon.

Shi Yue came in.

Ji Heng said indifferently: "Mr. Shi, the relevant historical materials of the Qin Pavilion have been supplemented and corrected. I will leave later. Thank you Mr. Shi for your hospitality."

Shi Yue said proudly: "It's all a matter of duty."

"It's fine, all the officials, if you don't dislike it."

Ji Heng smiled, and suddenly said: "The chief of the pavilion is very good at management. Maybe we can still get some promotions, but we and the others speak lightly, and I am afraid that the help to Chief Shi Ting will be limited."

"But I will do my best."

Shi Yue's face was slightly different, he pondered for a moment, and smiled wryly: "Thank you for your love, but I, Shi Yue, is just a humble official, and I really don't dare to bother my superiors to ask for credit for me, and there is really nothing to ask for. It’s in Qinting, I’m used to staying here, and I’m afraid I’ll feel a little uncomfortable in another place.”

"I also thank the officials for their attention, but it's really unnecessary."

heard.

Fusu frowned slightly, and said in doubt: "The talent of the pavilion chief at that time, he knows everything by seeing the small things, manages the people of ten miles in order, and can handle all the trivial matters in the village properly. Quite talented."

But Shi Yue waved his hand and said, "The superior officials are knowledgeable."

"Everyone has their own talents. As the head of the pavilion, I can be a talented person, but if I go up, it will be difficult."

"I know my own situation."

"I can only manage one-third of an acre of land of my own family. This is given by Qin Ting's father and fellow villagers. If it is changed to another place, it may be a mess. Right now, I can continue to be the head of Qin Ting. The officials are really satisfied and really I don't dare to show my ambitions again, so I ask the officials to forgive me."

Fusu looked deeply at Shi Yue, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

Ji Heng glanced at Shi Yue, seemed to have thought of something, and said, "Master Shi Ting knows himself very well, but the current situation in Great Qin is in turmoil, and Qin Ting is the place where Qin took root, so it is not suitable to easily change officials. It would be most appropriate for Shi Tingchang to continue to be in charge."

"However, when the world is stable in the future and the court needs it, Shi Ting Zhang will still be promoted."

"I just hope that the head of the pavilion will not refuse when the time comes."

heard.

Shi Yue showed gratitude, and hurriedly said: "Shi Yue is an official of the Great Qin Dynasty. If the court needs it, he would never dare to refuse, but as the official said, the Qin Pavilion is currently busy with affairs, and I can't get out, so I have to decline."

"I hope the officials will complete it."

Fusu glanced at Ji Heng, but didn't say anything more.

see.

Shi Yue said: "It's noon, please stay at the Qin Pavilion for a while, and it won't be too late to leave after lunch."

"The servants will go down and get ready."

Done.

Shi Yue bowed to Fusu and the others one by one, and quickly left the pavilion chief's room.

After Shi Yue walked away completely, Fu Su frowned and said: "Mr. Ji, Shi Yue is a capable person, why doesn't Mr. Ji want him to be promoted?"

Ji Heng chuckled and said slowly, "Promotion? Is he willing to be promoted?"

"I don't want to."

"Shi Yue is a smart man."

"He has real power in Qinting. Once he is promoted, whether he can have real power is another matter. However, the current official position in the county is a carrot and a hole. It has been arranged a long time ago. If he is suddenly promoted, It is bound to squeeze out the positions of other officials, and I am afraid that many people will be offended."

"You say promotion lightly, but he has to spend countless effort."

"If Daqin's situation is stable, he might be happy to be promoted, but now that the situation is complicated, being promoted rashly is really not worth the gain."

"Weigh the pros and cons."

"Continuing to maintain the original position is the best choice."

"If I were Shi Yue, I would do the same."

"The current Daqin is not enough to make me work hard. If I continue to work for Daqin, the benefits I will bring to myself are already lower than the harm I will do to myself. As long as we weigh a little, it will be easy to make a choice."

"A loyal minister is known by a tough man, and a good general is thought of when the country is in danger."

"But a country cannot take the initiative to put itself in danger, and then choose loyal ministers and generals from among them. Instead, it should continuously promote and reuse loyal ministers and generals in daily life, so that they will always stand with the country. Only in this way, this country To always be on the right path.”

"If a country is in a state of doom and only thinks of using a loyal minister, the country may be on the verge of dying. Even if this person can save the world, how can it last?"

Fusu was silent.

He thought of the officials who hadn't done it all these years.

These people may have the same thoughts as Shi Yue, but as the eldest son of the Great Qin Dynasty, he only feels a heavy heart about this ugly situation.

Without the help of good ministers and generals, how easy is it for Daqin to control the world?

He also knew it in his heart.

The current situation in Daqin is not enough for people to serve.

But as long as the situation in Daqin starts to improve, he believes that there will be more and more talented people in the world who will take the initiative to serve Daqin.

I will too!

Fusu clenched his fists tightly, his eyes full of determination.

　This part of the plot has been omitted.

　　Tomorrow, I will make up the [-]D update that I said when it was put on the shelves.
