Prime Minister of Great Qin

The interior is quiet.

The sound of Ying Si Nian's reading could be heard outside.

Just not really.

Fusu frowned and stared straight at Ji Heng, with a touch of bitterness and helplessness on his face.

He could no longer keep up with Mr. Ji's thoughts.

Moreover, what Mr. Ji said was a bit mysterious and beyond his understanding.

This is a different path from the world before.

perhaps

This is the path Mr. Ji wants to take.

This is also the great rule of the world that Mr. Ji really wants to pursue.

It's just that this great rule is too vain for him.

It was too ethereal, too unreal.

Judging from the little understanding he had, Ji Heng's intention was to make Da Qin completely change its direction, gradually shift from the emphasis on agriculture that it had practiced in the past to commerce and handicrafts, and then use the vigorous development of commerce and handicrafts to promote changes in the world, and It advances at an increasingly faster speed, eventually reaching a threshold that is difficult for ordinary people to overcome.

This threshold is invisible.

It is there. If you can step over it, you can reach the sky in one step. If you can't, you can only look at it from a distance, and you won't even feel any dissatisfaction, because this threshold is not set by the court, but by the long-term development of the world. Development is a naturally formed class threshold. It is invisible but tangible.

It just stands there.

With the emergence of this high knowledge threshold, the world's classes were naturally divided.

Most people can only work like servants, doing things for the upper class. There is no way for them to become the upper class, because their abilities and wisdom are not up to them. As time goes by, the people at the bottom will become more and more powerless and will slowly accept it. In the current situation, they are finally demoralized and can no longer think of rebellion.

It's all wonderful.

It’s just that it’s too erratic and profound.

And all of this must be based on the academic room, or the ‘Imperial College’.

As the crown prince of the Qin Dynasty, he had been in charge of government for several years, and he was well aware of the difficulty of the world's scholars.

Nowadays, the number of scholars in the world is not that big, which already makes him quite troubled. If there are twice as many, ten times, or even a hundred times as many scholars, the troubles that such a large number of scholars can cause will be really scary. , just thinking about it made Fusu sweat profusely and feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

This may not be a good policy for governing the country.

It is a strategy to bring chaos to the country.

He really disagreed with Ji Heng's suggestion.

He didn't dare to do something so impulsive and rash, especially since he was completely unprepared for it. Once something happened, it would be completely unpredictable. He would not gamble with the fate of Da Qin.

But Ji Heng was right about one thing.

Da Qin may need to establish a 'Tai Xue', a 'Tai Xue' with endless learning, to fabricate a set of 'reasons' for Da Qin's world governance, so that Da Qin's system will no longer be so hollow and become more rhetorical. It has something and can use it to improve the existing system of Da Qin.

Through this Imperial Academy, Da Qin's system can be constantly innovated and improved.

This allows Da Qin to constantly make corrections without falling into a dilemma.

This is the true meaning of Taixue.

This is also the real use of this higher education room to Da Qin.

a long time.

Fusu said in a deep voice: "Fusu is aware of Sir's suggestion."

"It's just that the trouble is serious and Fusu may not be able to make a decision. We can only report it to Your Majesty and let Your Majesty make a decision."

Ji Heng took a deep look at Fusu and understood Fusu's thoughts. He smiled lightly and didn't take it too seriously. He said calmly: "You don't need to care so much. This is just my judgment and estimate of the future direction of the world." , is not necessarily correct, and is just a family opinion, not to mention it cannot withstand too much deduction and scrutiny."

"Now Da Qin can't think that far."

"At least until the people have enough food and clothing, Da Qin has no reason or conditions to take that path."

Fusu cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your understanding, sir."

"Let's not say much about this matter for the time being. We will discuss it later after the Qin Dynasty has stabilized the world and has enough food and clothing."

"Fusu came here just for one thing this time."

"Sir, you have already given a solution, but the trouble is serious. Fusu has to ask a few more questions. The 'devolution of coinage rights' proposed by you is indeed of great benefit to Da Qin. In your opinion, what should we do? To implement it?”

"In this way, the turmoil in Kanto can be reduced to the greatest extent."

Fusu looked at Ji Heng earnestly.

Ji Heng sat back on the desk again, and was not in a hurry to speak. He just made himself a cup of tea, thought for a while, and said calmly: "It will not be difficult to implement this matter."

"It could even be called simple."

"Because it's a profit."

"No one in the world can afford it early."

"They are also profit-seeking."

"How many people in the world can't be moved by the decentralization of such a huge interest in minting power? Are they not jealous?"

"But the world is also greedy."

"If they directly announce the decentralization of coinage rights, their first thought is not to hand over salt, iron and other economic powers as the court wants, but to want to take them all. Therefore, the court must use a certain amount of coercion and use a high-pressure The situation forces them to choose one of the two."

Fusu nodded.

This is indeed the case.

People are greedy and not self-sufficient.

If the imperial court continues to announce this, local forces will never think about handing over economic power such as salt and iron after obtaining the right to mint money. Instead, they will change the law and control local economic power in their own hands, and then Allow yourself to amass more huge profits and wealth.

This is human nature.

Those who know how to advance and retreat, and who know what to choose are ultimately the minority.

A contemptuous sneer appeared at the corner of Ji Heng's lips, and he said indifferently: "As long as the court can promulgate this policy, it will not be as difficult as you think to implement it. It will just make some adjustments, and it will not be promulgated blindly, but The news leaked out in the form of a decree."

"The imperial court can directly issue a decree at that time."

"A comprehensive inspection of the world's salt and iron and other economic-related operations will help to understand the world's economic context, which will be of great help to the government's future governance of the world and the promulgation of future policies, and will also facilitate the future prosperity of the world."

"In this edict, it is also announced that the power of minting is planned to be decentralized."

"Trial it from Guanzhong."

"At the same time, a 'money-weighing scale' was established in the world to speed up the unification of currencies. At the same time, it was also to completely eliminate the currencies of the six countries from the world. As for why the imperial court knew that the currencies of the six countries were circulating in the six places, it was naturally confiscated by Meng Yi in Dang County. During the family property, a large amount of currency from the six countries was harvested, and this was used as an excuse to allow the court to know the true status of the currency in the world."

“Then this new monetary policy came into being!”

"After the decree is issued."

"Ling Meng Yi began to go to major warehouses to reconcile the account books submitted by various places, and finally began to make changes to some county officials, and to gather economic power in Guandong. At the same time, private casting will be officially liberalized in Guanzhong Regarding coins, at this time the court can reward officials with outstanding political achievements in the past with a small copper mine." "Two-pronged approach."

"One side is a sharp knife, the other side is honey."

"Just like this, the forces in the six places are tempered little by little, forcing them to make active choices."

"As long as Guanzhong behaves actively enough and the benefits obtained are large enough, how can these people in Guandong not be tempted?"

Ji Heng looked indifferent.

It was as if he was already familiar with what would happen next.

He continued: "With the large amount of coins minted by the Guanzhong Copper Mine, there will definitely be a lot of coins circulating in Guandong. If they don't make a choice, their own wealth will undoubtedly shrink significantly, and they will also plot for others and for their own benefit. , but also to consolidate one’s own power.”

"They will actually choose to compromise."

Ji Heng showed a hint of sarcasm and said with ridicule: "This is the limitation and weakness of powerful people. They always have a way out. They can't really risk it all, let alone rebel as a whole family. In the end, there will only be a little compromise. Even if some forces are unwilling to be cannibalized by Qin Ting, they will not be able to make waves when others choose to follow the trend. "

"When."

"Those who don't have copper mines will plot against those who have copper mines. Those who have copper mines are worried about being robbed. Those who have a large amount of currencies from the six countries in their hands are frantically trying to exchange these currencies for more practical food. In the end, Kanto themselves will be at loggerheads with Bubo and Bobo, so how can they be able to work together to fight against the imperial court?"

"Under this trend of private casting, the imperial court can quietly complete the investigation of the world's copper mines."

"It will be relatively easy to take it back in the future."

"Indeed."

"Some areas are barren and there are no copper mines in their jurisdiction. Therefore, these forces are unwilling to give up the huge profits of salt and iron, and it is difficult to persuade the court. However, China has always had no shortage of copper mines. This kind of place is destined to Very few, just one or two places cannot cause much turmoil to the world."

"Other regions will not take the initiative to get involved in these disputes."

"And the benefits of minting are too great."

"It's big enough to turn against each other internally. Maybe we can maintain peace in the early stage. But in the future, when the court completely decentralizes the power of minting and controls the power of copper mines, the rapid accumulation of wealth will quickly widen the gap with others. By then, No matter how solid Kanto is, cracks will gradually appear."

“And it’s going to get bigger.”

“Too big to be bridged.”

"Under such circumstances, Kanto will cut itself off."

"In addition, the competition for the copper mines in Guandong will also be fierce, and some people are happy to see the imperial court clean up some officials in Guandong. After all, if some officials are missing, there will be fewer people to share the pie. They can get it The benefits are even greater.”

"All forces in Kwantung will fall into internal fighting."

"After this incident."

"If no major changes occur, Kanto will enter a period of peace in the next one or two years."

"At least that's the case on the surface."

"When everyone is focused on making money and fighting for power and profit, those small actions in private will undoubtedly be much less. Even if the remnants of the Six Nations want to cause trouble in Guandong, it will be difficult to have any big effect. In this kind of situation, Under such circumstances, the large and small officials in Guandong appear to be very supportive of the Qin Zhenghui."

"After all, they are profit-seeking."

"No one hopes that the large amount of coins they mint will eventually turn into a pile of waste coins due to chaos in the world, and they will not be able to spend any money. Therefore, to a certain extent, these people will help the court to calm the world."

Fusu was thoughtful.

Ji Heng's suggestion is to announce it first and then fish for it.

As long as the forces in Guandong do not express their position, Meng Yi will not make much movement and allow the coins minted in Guanzhong to flow into Guandong. This will force these people to sit still and have to give in and make choices. Once some of them reveal their attitude to the court , that is, taking the initiative to hand over the account books that a certain official was responsible for in the past to Meng Yi's hands, and then Meng Yi would continue to attack Guandong.

Then step by step, Kanto was forced to make a choice.

thereby achieving the purpose.

It's all their own choice.

It was not coercion by the imperial court.

I can't blame the imperial court.

Even if these people know that it is the imperial court that is fanning the flames and adding fuel to the flames, it is indeed someone else who took the initiative to hand in the "letter of surrender". How can they blame the imperial court?

Although the imperial court was also involved, it was relatively dissociated.

Fusu smiled and said, "Sir, you are resourceful."

"Sir's plan for Guandong has probably been completed a long time ago. Starting from letting Zhang Cang take over the Shaofu, then letting Meng Yi patrol the world as an inspector, and now the 'delegation of minting power', one link after another, Linked together, and then using the economy as the anchor, they formed a general trend, and finally forced Kanto to make concessions, thereby achieving the desired goal."

"Not only did they gather economic power, they also further suppressed the Kanto forces."

“It can be said that it accomplishes multiple things with one stone.”

"In the past, my husband always said that the hustle and bustle in the world was all about profit and change, but Fusu didn't think so at first."

"Looking at it now, Fusu is superficial."

"This sentence is actually a wise saying, and it should also be used as a strategy."

Ji Heng smiled and said without comment: "Benefits can only be calculated against many people, not few. Not everyone in the world will be moved by interests. If you are obsessed with profit and power, you will only lose more than you gain. As a king, the most important thing is We must be upright and govern the world with righteousness."

"but."

"You're right."

"As long as the interests are big enough, who in the world can't understand Qin?"

Hear the words.

Fusu whispered, 'Who in the world doesn't understand Qin'? He couldn't help but smile and nodded: "Sir, you are funny. Fusu has always heard the words 'tyranny is more fierce than a tiger' and 'the Qin Dynasty will perish'. It’s really amazing to hear this sentence now: there is no one in the world who doesn’t understand Qin.”

"Haha."

"But I'd like to thank you for your good words."

"If the master's plan is really successful, Fusu will use these coins to build a 'Tai Xue' for the master."

Ji Heng took a deep look at Fusu, and finally nodded: "Yes."

Fusu nodded.

The purpose of his trip has been achieved.

As the crown prince of the Qin Dynasty, he had very heavy political affairs every day, so he couldn't stay at Ji Heng's place for too long. He chatted with Ji Heng for a few words about Ying Si Nian's situation and then left.

Ji Heng did not stop him.

But he didn't go out to see him off.

He drank the still warm tea while minding his own business.

After finishing the bowl of tea, Ji Heng showed a smile and shook his head: "Fusu has grown up after all, but all I want is to plant a seed."

"As for the rest."

"It's beyond my wildest dreams." (End of chapter)
