Prime Minister of Great Qin

Observe filial piety for half a month.

While the courtiers were busy preparing for Fusu's enthronement ceremony, Fusu arrived at Ji Heng's residence.

Also coming together were Hu Hai and Ying Sinian.

See Ji Heng.

Hu Hai still couldn't hide the look of sadness on his face.

Ying Sinian was also crying bitterly, but Fusu maintained a certain expression even though his face was sad.

Ji Heng glanced at the three of them lightly, opened the door, and let a few people in.

It was very cold outside, and the ground had already frozen solid. Walking on it felt like stepping on hard rocks, and you could hear banging sounds.

There is a strong fire in the house.

Fusu cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Ji."

Ji Heng nodded and said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry and accept the change."

Ji Heng poured a cup of hot tea for the three of them and let them warm their hands.

Although Fusu felt sad in his heart, he also knew that he could not be too hurt. He took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and said in a deep voice: "Mr., I have made you look ugly. Fusu came here today because he wanted to ask Mr. Now that my father has passed away, I am afraid that people with ulterior motives from all over the world will start to take action. Fusu is a little worried and would like to ask Mr. Fusu to sort it out in detail."

Ji Heng raised the teacup and took a sip.

Then he slowly said: "With the death of the First Emperor, the world will indeed become less stable and there will be many more variables. This is understandable. When a powerful leader dies, there will definitely be a certain power vacuum. You can realize this situation. , the remnants of the six countries can also notice it, and local officials also have this consensus."

"The world has since entered a period of shock."

"But don't worry too much. The mournful soldiers will win. Even if the remnants of the Six Kingdoms and the local officials want to take action, they will not cause trouble at this juncture. In the short term, you don't have to worry about the situation in the world."

"But it is undeniable that as the First Emperor passes away for a long time, the world's fear of Qin will also be greatly weakened."

"Troublesome times are coming."

Fusu was indifferent.

Of course he knew this.

And not only did he know it, the First Emperor also knew it when he was there.

Otherwise, he would not have called him specifically some time before his death to ask about the situation in the world, and repeatedly told him some things, because he was worried about whether the eldest son of the First Emperor would be able to shoulder the important responsibilities of the world after his own death.

In fact, he was also a little confused.

To him, the First Emperor was the sky, enough to shield him from all wind and rain.

Now the sky is falling.

Everything has to be done on your own.

Even though Fusu had gone through a lot, he was still a little confused and uneasy, so in order to avoid any accidents, he deliberately took some time out of his busy schedule to come to Ji Heng's place, hoping that Ji Heng would make more detailed plans for him so that everything in the Qin Dynasty could be settled. No worries.

Ji Heng sat upright and said calmly: "In the world of Qin, it is very difficult to miss."

"The remnants of the Six Kingdoms and local forces will definitely cause trouble, and Guandong will indeed be in chaos for a while, and various rebellions may even occur. However, as long as the Qin court does not act randomly or recklessly, the disasters in Guandong will not shake the world of Qin. "

"You don't have much to do."

“Just execute as planned in the past.”

"Amnesty to the world."

"But the current amnesty world has changed from what was established before."

Hear the words.

Fusu's face straightened, he looked at Ji Heng solemnly, and asked, "I wonder what has changed?"

Ji Heng smiled and said: "I told you before that the amnesty you want to do for the world will be very broad. Almost all criminals except repeat offenders will be pardoned. At the same time, palaces in various places will be stopped one after another. There are also the hundreds of thousands of prisoners who built the mausoleum for the First Emperor in the past. If we really count, it involves at least millions of people."

"This amount is not a small amount."

"If the court doesn't think anything about it, they will put all these people back together."

"That's 'let the tiger return to the mountain'."

"These people are all young and strong. Once they return to their places and are bewitched by the remnants of the Six Kingdoms and the local tyrants, they will become anti-Qin people. Therefore, the world must amnesty, but the amnesty must be carried out step by step. These people cannot be allowed to stand in the end. The opposite of Da Qin.”

"We cannot let these people become enemies of Great Qin!"

Fusu nodded, deeply convinced of this.

He said in a deep voice: "Sir, what should Fusu do?"

Ji Heng chuckled lightly, with a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes, and said calmly: "The imperial court announced a general amnesty for the whole country, and also announced the scope of the amnesty. However, the specific time of the amnesty needs to be based on the situation reported by the local government and the service of these prisoners and corvees. According to the situation, pardons will be carried out in batches, but the court will also give a final time limit, and all pardoned persons will be released before the autumn harvest, which will never delay the autumn harvest all over the world."

"Why limit it to the autumn harvest season?" Fusu asked.

Ji Heng said: "If I were a noble of the Six Kingdoms, I would rebel after the autumn harvest."

"It's no better now than before." "With Meng Yi's massive looting in Guandong."

"The overall grain reserves in Guandong are declining. Without enough grain, even if the nobles of the Six Kingdoms intend to cause trouble, they will not be able to cause much trouble. After the autumn harvest, grain from various places will be transported to corresponding transit warehouses one after another, and these transit warehouses are undoubtedly the Six Kingdoms. The existence that the country's nobles are most jealous of is also the place they will definitely capture."

"In normal times, if the nobles of the six countries rebelled, the court would not know their specific movements. But now, these transit warehouses are like torches in the dark night, illuminating every move of the nobles of the six countries."

"Indeed."

"Not all the nobles of the Six Kingdoms will cling to these warehouses, and they will definitely plunder the local people's food. However, the rents of Da Qin have not decreased over the years. The local people are actually very embarrassed and cannot squeeze out much food at all. There are plans to move local officials and powerful people."

"As it concerns your own wealth and life, as well as your family's accumulation of wealth over the years, how can local tycoons and local officials not fight to the death?"

"No matter who wins in the end."

"They are all eroding the strength within Kanto."

"As long as these transit warehouses are still in the hands of the imperial court, no matter how big a war breaks out in Guandong, the imperial court can still sit on the Diaoyutai, and the remnants of the Six Kingdoms must also focus on these warehouses, because they contain nearby places. Mostly food.”

"So after the brief chaos in Kanto, it will eventually turn into a series of attacks."

"Local warehouses will also be the focus of attack and defense."

"This will undoubtedly be of great help to the Qin army's reconquest of the world."

"The Qin Army is not afraid of head-on confrontation. What it is afraid of is that the remnants of the Six Kingdoms are like loaches. They will hit and run, causing chaos in the world and making life difficult for the people. Now with these warehouses as strongholds, the Qin Army can easily defeat the forces of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms. Once removed.”

"The more rapidly the remnants of the Six Nations expand their armies, the greater their need for food and grass."

“The thirst for these granaries is higher.”

Fusu was thoughtful.

Ji Heng continued to explain: "As for why it is set around the autumn harvest."

"This is to win people's hearts."

"Qin Ting fulfilled the promise he made to the world, which will undoubtedly win the hearts of the people, and he did not let them miss their autumn harvest. This will also make these people grateful. But if the remnants of the Six Kingdoms rebelled, they would rob them. Food and iron tools, this will undoubtedly make them dissatisfied and resentful towards the remnants of the Six Kingdoms?"

"With each coming and going, won't the imperial court become more popular?"

"also."

"The court detained these people for a period of time."

"Firstly, it allows them to work for the imperial court for a while longer. Secondly, it means that they have no chance to bewitched by the remnants of the Six Kingdoms. Once they return home, they can only immerse themselves in the fields and prepare for the autumn harvest. Even if they do this in the future, The people who surrendered to the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, without a certain amount of training, ended up being just a bunch of rabble, and the threat they pose to Great Qin will undoubtedly be weakened a lot."

"Therefore, keeping it for a period of time will do more good than harm to Da Qin."

"But it will do more harm than good to the Kanto rebel forces."

"They don't have much time to encourage these people to rebel against Qin, nor do they have much time to recruit and train troops. Moreover, the more kindly the court's attitude is during the autumn harvest, the more ferocious the remnants of the Six Kingdoms will be. After a comparison, the world will naturally I feel a little fond of Qin Sheng."

"This will be of great help to Da Qin in reorganizing the country in the future."

"Why are you so sure that the Kanto rebel forces will take action this year?" Fusu looked curious.

Ji Heng smiled and said lightly: "Because the time is not with them."

"If you don't offer amnesty to the world, or if you don't fulfill it after offering it, they will naturally be happy to wait. But as long as you announce the amnesty to the world and actually implement it, it will be completely unacceptable to the forces of the six countries. .”

'Because the amnesty for the whole world is very able to win over people's hearts. "

"If the local people develop a good impression of you, it will only become more and more difficult for the remnants of the Six Kingdoms to succeed in the future. And as you take over the power, the current power vacuum period in Da Qin will gradually weaken, and the strength of the imperial court will It will gradually increase.”

"They had no choice."

"The longer it takes, the worse it will be for them."

"So you must break this situation and disrupt the world before you win over the people."

"That way they have a chance to make a comeback."

Hear the words.

A cold look flashed in Fusu's eyes.

He said coldly: "Fusu understands, the world will be relatively peaceful before the autumn harvest, but after the autumn harvest, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms will take action. If the court handles it properly, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms will be easily pacified by the court. If The local government colluded with the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, and the imperial court was unable to deal with it for the time being. In the future, the court can still use the local granary as a fulcrum to eliminate the remnants of the Six Kingdoms one by one."

"The imperial court always has room for leeway."

Ji Heng nodded: "This is actually the First Emperor's idea."

"We are tired of the people of the world, we have gathered the soldiers of the world, and we have conquered the food of the world. We have forced the Guandong to have no one to use and no food to eat. Even if we rebel, it will be difficult to maintain. As long as the pass is not lost, the Qin army will attack Hangu again." Guan, just wipe out the world."

"My change."

"It just moved the war from Guanzhong Aocang back to Guandong."

"Even if all the warehouses in Guandong are lost, or even the entire Guandong falls into the hands of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, all this loss will be the strength of Guandong itself. Qin Ting has been recharging his energy, waiting for work, and attacking the tired army with a strong army. How can the court be invincible?" (End of this chapter)
