My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 807 If I don’t go to hell, who will?
All the ministers looked at Fusu, confusion written in their eyes.

The ministers no longer dared to refute the Qin II, who was specially sent by God to "reform the world and benefit the people". However, they were still the same as before, and could not help but want to get some benefits for themselves or their descendants.

The ministers first all raised their heads and looked at the young emperor, then searched and pondered in their brains for a while, and after confirming that they did not understand what the emperor said at all, they began to look at each other, and looked around, trying to see how others would react.

The ministers were pondering below, but no one responded to Qin II for a long time.

Meng Yi looked at Qin II with a strange smile on his face.

Ecological Science and Technology City? Doesn’t the name mean a science and technology city? Could it be that the emperor had a crazy idea and planned to build such a city for living people after seeing the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum, which was breathtaking in scale and world-leading in technology?

His Majesty the First Emperor was very afraid of death and attached great importance to his affairs after his death. As a favorite of the retired emperor, Meng Yi was actually very clear about everything Qin Shihuang did.

He knew that Ying Zheng became possessed after seeing his aging appearance, so he did many wrong things one after another.

While expanding the imperial mausoleum, he was also pursuing immortality.

There are also some problems in the current administration of His Majesty. After all, His Majesty is only a human being and has selfish desires. He has repeatedly favored Feng, who is behind the Queen, and has often been partial to his own close associates. These are indisputable facts.

However, Your Majesty has always focused on people's livelihood in governing, which is obvious to all the ministers. Therefore, in just one year, the entire Qin Empire began to show a state of recovery and vitality.

This is a good thing.

Instead of worrying about getting old and what will happen after death, His Majesty's prime years have just begun. He has begun ruling when he is not even thirty years old.

Your Majesty naturally cares more about living people.

Meng Yi thought about it and decided that this was the only possible direction.

The so-called ecological and technological city is actually equivalent to building a model livable city and a so-called experimental zone.

Meng Yi was also one of the builders of the Imperial Academy and a member of the Mohist School. Meng Yi had seen many of the Mohist School's ideas, most of which were the emperor's thoughts on governing the country.

Among them is the concept of experimental area.

The state-owned factories opened by the Qin State are now open to the public, allowing citizens to work in mines as free individuals and receive wages, including the land reforms carried out in Xinzheng, Yingchuan County, the emperor's previous fiefdom. All of them are similar to experimental sites.

Carrying out such experiments in one or two places is, firstly, to reduce resistance; secondly, setting up model areas can attract the public to feel the gap for themselves, allowing the public to start pushing the officials above to carry out reforms from the bottom up.

The emperor was indeed very wise. He transformed the power of the leader into a model and put it into institutional construction. He put all kinds of positive energy transmission methods of leading others by example into institutional construction, set up a model area to lead, and then let the whole nation see what the built empire looks like.

To be honest, this was something that no one could imagine in the past.

They, the Qin people, would actually experience such a thing one day.

However, since Qin Shihuang abdicated, nothing is impossible in this world.

Meng Yi thought secretly in his heart.

Qin II's gaze fell on Meng Yi, and Meng Yi raised his head to meet Qin II's gaze.

Fusu and Meng Yi looked at each other from a distance, separated by many ministers.

Most of the ministers were whispering to each other.

"Your Majesty has the means to do this, not to make a big move."

"This is to push away all the powerful officials and reduce the number of people involved. The fewer people who know, the higher the chances of success."

"To build a city, you need to recruit workers. Your Majesty actually wants to use this method to mobilize those young people who have nothing to do at home and find them something to do."

"..."

"Your Majesty, do you intend to relocate those people from the six nations to live in the new city?"

"I now understand what technology is. But what is ecology?"

The ancients were quite smart.

Even if they don’t understand what an eco-technological city is, they still have a lot to talk about regarding city building.

Zhang Cang didn't understand this new word. He felt that the emperor always acted superior and condescending, which was not good.

The sage ruled the country with ease, but the emperor was too proud, which was not good and would easily lead to his downfall.

But all the civil and military officials in the court were afraid of this emperor.

Ministers should advise the emperor, but no one does that anymore.

Zhang Cang looked at Mao Jiao in front of him, who was praising the emperor in various ways along with other ministers, and he sighed helplessly.

Forget it, if I don’t go to hell, who will?

I'd better be the one to deal with this kind of guy. He gets angry when he sees these people eating the people's money and becoming fat and powerful.

You can't rely on others, so just rely on himself.

The ministers were praising Qin II in a disguised manner, and they planned to nominate the prime minister to speak out.

Follow the rules and procedures...

At this time, Zhang Cang suddenly stood up.

When the ministers saw Zhang Cang stand up, some of them were frightened and swayed slightly.

Zhou Qingchen was nudged by someone's elbow. "Zhang Cang is going to speak. Isn't he going to impeach you?"

A surge of fluid rushed up from Zhou Qingchen's stomach and choked his throat.

Zhou Qingchen blew his beard and glared at Zhang Cang.

He looked at Zhang Cang, then glanced at his colleague sitting behind him.

He knew that he was now in a difficult position in the court and could only play the villain to get by.

But as long as I can get promoted, I will play the bad guy.

Compared to the hypocrite Zhang Cang, he is at least not that hypocritical.

So Zhou Qingchen openly said in the court, "Look, there is nothing in this world that Censor Zhang doesn't know."

"The only person who knows what we don't know is Censor Zhang."

Zhang Cang's face turned red with anger, and the tablet in his hand trembled.

The ministers all started laughing.

After all, they didn't like Zhang Cang. He was too powerful, making them seem useless.

Xiao He sat silently in the court. The whole hall was filled with black and red, and it was magnificent and luxurious. The hair crowns on the ministers' heads were enough to feed a family for a hundred years.

They don't care about people's lives and are busy intrigue all day long.

Xiao He was disappointed with most of the ministers in the court, but this peace dove was afraid of quarreling with others...so he got angry with himself, blushed slightly and sat with his head down.

Meng Tian looked at Xiao He. He felt that Xiao He's temperament was totally unsuitable for a chief judge of the Qin Dynasty. He was not domineering or majestic at all.

Seeing Meng Tian looking at Xiao He with admiration, Zhao Tuo couldn't help but look at the low-key Xiao He. He didn't even remember what Xiao Tingwei had said in the court.

The Chief Justice was a very high-ranking official in the past, but Xiao He was able to endure it and maintain a low profile despite holding such a high position.

It is said that he has not changed his own house since he took office. Instead, he has bought one big house after another for some landless and small-scale farmers in Xianyang.

Li Xin basically just came to sleep in the court.

Every time he fell asleep and woke up from a nap, he felt very satisfied with his current life.

Because he doesn't need to spend a lot of effort to govern the people. It's exhausting to watch the people under him scheming against each other every day. If one is good to another, he will be unhappy. If another is good to another, he will be unhappy.

He had had enough of that kind of life.

So when everyone was looking at Zhang Cang and Meng Tian was looking at the angry and silent Xiao He, General Li Xin looked at Qin II with sympathy. He knew that Qin II must be helpless now.

As expected, the emperor, wearing the crown and robes, now expressed two words with his body language - tired.

However, Li Xin's sympathetic look successfully made the emperor notice him.

Fusu always knew that Li Xin was either following the ministers in the court and saying yes and no, or taking a nap on the side.

But the facts proved that he was still too young. He didn't expect that Li Xin would sympathize with him when he woke up from a nap.

Why is the one who is in a superior position today still feeling wronged?

Zhang Cang was angry, but he was different from the past. He ignored Zhou Qingchen's words.

This made the other ministers who were watching the fun feel bored.

Because they hated Zhang Cang, but they liked to watch Zhang Cang quarrel with others, especially with people like Zhou Qingchen.

One is someone they can never catch up with, and the other is someone they all look down on.

Only these ministers themselves understand the feeling.

It can be seen that it will take a long time to purify the political atmosphere in the imperial court.

Everyone thought that Zhang Cang was going to make another brilliant comment and try to win the emperor's favor, but Zhang Cang actually asked the emperor directly.

"May I ask your Majesty, what is a technological ecological city?"

Under the tassels, Qin II's eyebrows twitched violently.

He should have thought of it long ago that if Zhang Cang didn't get plague, he would go crazy.

He actually thought that he would mend his ways. He was really blinded by greed.

"The so-called technological eco-city...is to combine nature and technology into one. To develop industry inside, a brand new city will be built almost entirely of bricks, tiles, and steel. But in this brand new city, the smog will be purified, and smelting steel will not pollute the rivers."

After hearing this, all the ministers were still ambiguous.

They simply couldn't understand what the emperor was saying.

Only Fusu understood.

Do you remember the incident mentioned earlier in which China was attacked by four islands?

[It seems like something is targeting me. Everything I write has been blocked recently. 】

The nature of that incident not only caused serious damage to China, causing countless lives to be lost, but also caused the traditional cultural treasures of [Hua Xia] to be lost overseas.

More importantly, it interrupted the normal process of Huaxia learning from the West, and forced Huaxia to desperately make up for the process of learning Western technology, equipment and systems in the next fifty years, which should have taken a hundred or even two hundred years.

The result is that at least three generations have been burdened with a heavy burden, and countless people have had to suffer from material poverty and spiritual confusion under the pressure of the times when the country and nation were surrounded by foreign enemies.

Fusu understood the bitterness and pain very well.

In that process, traditional culture was seriously lost and interrupted. The real traditional culture was cut off, and what remained was the dregs.

In the world before Fusu traveled through time, it was filled with anxiety, pressure, the dregs of feudal culture, and imported concepts translated from the West.

People have nowhere to rest their minds, so they turn to various forms of entertainment.

However, under heavy pressure, a large number of people have awakened and returned to the embrace of traditional culture.

It was an era destined to be glorious.

Because in the world two thousand years later, material civilization is highly developed and the level of physics and chemistry is very advanced, people began to capture "ghosts", conduct physical research on them, and named them "neutrinos".

People began to use the principles of physics, such as the famous principle of "Schrödinger's cat", to understand and analyze the ancient saints, philosophers, Buddhas [enlightened people] who had lived on the earth, to re-understand the world, to realize "God", and to understand "the gods".

Although it was a glorious era, there were still too many confused people. They followed the tail of the times, being swayed by the "Way of Heaven", and didn't know what they wanted.

What’s even more regrettable is that these people are the majority.

It was because he had seen too many "absurd" things with his own eyes that Fusu decided to do such things in the Qin Empire.

Many people think that Fusu’s industrial development is too simple.

This is not a simple measure to improve people's material life, but to help the Chinese nation avoid detours and allow people to verify the truth in the three-dimensional world with scientific and objective means, rather than blindly falling into psychology.

To be honest, there are still too few people who can achieve enlightenment through their hearts. This path is too difficult.

From the very beginning, the purpose of human reincarnation is to practice and liberate oneself from the three-dimensional world.

However, after entering the human world, most people forget the mystery of reincarnation.

So, as an emperor and a time traveler who knows history, the path Fusu had to take was the path explored by people two thousand years later.

This is a path explored jointly by China and the West.

Use physical science, chemical analysis, and a positivist approach to understand Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism (those that have not been castrated and reformed), Huang-Lao philosophy, the spirit of Zhuangzi, what Lie Zi actually said, why the "Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" can keep people away from disasters and make their lives healthy and happy, and what divination is all about.

This is the fundamental purpose of Fusu’s development of science and technology and industry.

Fantasy? Not at all.

Only in this way can people living in the world gain a sense of happiness, return to the great way, find the highest virtue, and return to the original "chaotic" era.

People are very honest and live a peaceful and happy life every day.

After the Earth, one of the universal spaces in the universe, has been transformed, it is equivalent to humans collectively raising the Earth's space by one dimension.

After that, humans can develop or help other planets...

Is it far away?
not at all.

Once you understand the truth of the universe, you will understand what it means that time does not exist at all.

Time is just a coordinate axis drawn by humans in three-dimensional space, it is a reference system.

Time does not exist objectively.
