Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 313: Ying Zheng's eastward patrol; twisting the good strategy (Yue Mo asks for rewards with monthly tickets!)
"The general trend is in accordance with God's will. If heaven wants to continue Qin's national destiny, I will naturally not be able to disobey it. However, it is too early to say this now. Everything will have to wait until I meet Chu Nan Gong before I make a decision. .”

"Furthermore, the world is so big, is there no place for us to settle down and make a living? If not, then we can become Fan Li and do business."

-

In the 26th year of Emperor Qin's reign, it was March in late spring.

The First Emperor visited the western and northern areas of Longxi, leaving Jitoushan and returning to the middle.

The vast army conducted a three-month tour.

This long queue, with carriages and horses connected to each other, attracted many people to watch along the way.

Qin Shihuang visited the northwest and climbed Liupan Mountain. In addition to frightening and showing off the Rong people in Longyou, his other important purpose was to offer sacrifices and worship.

The emperor of the Zhou Dynasty had a system, and those who were not the emperor were not allowed to offer sacrifices to the famous mountains and rivers of heaven and earth.

In order to rectify his name, Ying Zheng stopped at all the mountains and rivers he passed to pay homage to the mountains and rivers.

Standing on the top of the mountain, Ying Zheng overlooks the northwest land, naturally magnificent and intense.

At times like this, Ying Zheng kept thinking of Fusu's words from time to time.

"The remaining heroes of the sixth generation vigorously promoted their strategy and controlled Yu Nei, and swallowed up the princes for two weeks."

As the successor of the Qin Ying clan, Ying Zheng accomplished what all generations of ancestors had failed to accomplish.

Although Qin Shihuang's footsteps in Liupan Mountain were hurried and short-lived, due to his patrol, the roads in Liupan Mountain had to be built and smooth.

But at the same time, large areas of virgin forest began to be cut down, and they were continuously transported to the construction sites of Huizhong Palace and Afang Palace...

Where Ying Zheng's army was accompanying him, Qin people and prisoners were everywhere along the way.

Ying Zheng looked at the two scenery.

One scenery is naturally the scenery of the northwest, while the other scenery is the sense of superiority that one is dominated by, and everyone in the world is his captive.

This tour naturally cost a huge amount of manpower, material and financial resources.

Wei Zhuanglao Xiu was replaced by Feng Quji.

But he has a new title, Doctor Yushi.

Ying Zheng bluntly said that he was supervising the prime minister.

If the prime minister has faults in his words and deeds and he criticizes them, then the imperial censor can become the prime minister.

Li Si took Feng Quji's place and took the position of minister again.

This cruise was just because everything was peaceful along the way.

So Ying Zheng was very happy.

Inside the car.

At this time, the weather has not yet fully warmed up, and Ying Zheng is still sitting in the car, warming up with charcoal fire.

"Originally, the head of Guizhou has not yet surrendered, and there have been many riots in the land of Jingchu. I intend to go to the land of Jingchu at the end of the year."

When Li Si heard this, he naturally agreed.

"Your Majesty originally wanted to go to the land of Jingchu to suppress it. Not long ago, there was another riot in Shouchun, the land of Chu. If Marquis Wu Cheng had not ordered people to suppress it forcefully, an accident would have happened sooner."

Ying Zheng heard this and said the same thing.

"I should have gone to the land of Jingchu long ago."

When Prime Minister Wang Wan heard this, he was naturally unhappy.

With Wei Zhuang gone, he, the prime minister, naturally has to bear more responsibilities.

Wang Wan learned that a large amount of the funds in the treasury were used for the construction of imperial tombs, imperial cities, and palaces.As for the financial resources of the palace treasury, the prince must have long been aware of the shortcomings, so he ordered the commercial government to run the country.

This time, the tour to Longxi was on the original border of Zhao Kingdom.

For the safety of His Majesty the Emperor, a large number of soldiers were mobilized.

The cost of traveling in luxury cars and manpower and material resources is extremely high.

Wang Wan now feels more and more that His Majesty the Emperor is not someone who is willing to practice virtuous government.

But the people of the world, numbering in the tens of millions, confiscated their weapons and used your majesty's millions of troops to suppress them. This is the current situation of the Qin State.

Now, Wang Wan felt that the prince was good.

With the prince advising his majesty at his side, and the prince being far-sighted and actively advocating reforms, it was only then that his majesty was pushed to lead the Qin country on the right track.

Things that even an old man like Wang Wan thought of were thought of by a young man.

But the resources and manpower consumed are naturally countless.

The resources in Xianyang City are continuously collected and sent from all over the world.

Excessive levies and excessive extortion have revealed early signs.

But Wang Wan would naturally not say these words in front of Ying Zheng again.

Wang Wan Su Rong, this scene is quite rare.

Wang Wan was already tall and tall, and he always had a smile on his face. He was amiable to anyone who saw him, and he seemed to be wise but foolish.

At that moment, Wang Wan's lips were tightly pressed together, without any smile on her face.

Ying Zheng naturally knew what Wang Wan was thinking.

"The Prime Minister looks worried, but does he think this is inappropriate?"

Ying Zheng was very patient with Wang Wan.

Just as Wang Wan and Fu Su were sure, Ying Zheng was not a person who showed mercy.

"Your Majesty, during this eastward tour, coupled with the construction of imperial mausoleums, palaces, and imperial cities, the treasury resources are flowing out continuously, but the collection of taxes is not enough to make the treasury have a surplus. And at the beginning, Lord Dongyang had reported , it is necessary to set up salt and iron ministers in all counties and counties across the country to sell them as official shops and collect profits."

When Ying Zheng heard this name, he was surprised for a while.

Prince——

It's been a long time since anyone dared to mention this name next to Ying Zheng's ears.

With him gone, Ying Zheng did feel the emperor's supreme authority, but Ying Zheng also clearly felt that something was missing around him.

But over time, you will naturally get used to it.

Now that Wang Wan mentioned it, Ying Zheng couldn't help but remember a lot of things.

Speaking of which, Fusu had too many ideas, and he almost forgot that there was such a thing.

Li Si heard this and said:
"Your Majesty, if you want state-run commerce, control salt and iron. Although this is a plan to enrich the country, your Majesty has collected the wealth of all the people in the world and put it into the treasury. When the people hear about it, they will definitely criticize you."

Ying Zheng now pays great attention to reputation.

Although benevolence and righteousness cannot be used to govern a country, it can be used to beautify an empire.

Li Si continued:

"Furthermore, if Your Majesty uses his own selfish interests to promote commerce across the country, then when the officials and people hear about it, they will definitely imitate Your Majesty in private."

"So, what's the point of Your Majesty moving one hundred thousand households of the world's leading merchants to Xianyang?"

Ying Zheng originally wanted to implement the strategy of prohibiting business.

As a result, Ying Zheng naturally fell into chaos.

Han Fei once said that businessmen are one of the five beetles of the country.

Shang Yang also issued an express ban on trading.

Hong Kong will lead to social injustice.

The reason why Qin became the strongest among the seven kingdoms was precisely because it strictly implemented this strategy.

After much thought, Ying Zheng naturally felt that this method was unreasonable again.

Thinking like this, Ying Zheng's impression of Fusu began to gradually shift again.

Looking back on the past, Fusu was always self-righteous and confident in admonishing him to do this or that...

But when he thought that he had gone to the land of Dongchu, the anger in Ying Zheng's heart gradually subsided.

Li Si deserves to be the person who knows Ying Zheng best.

Ying Zheng was also the implementer of Legalism.

Ying Zheng finally said naturally:

"This plan cannot be used. If the government's treasury resources are insufficient, taxes will be increased."

Wang Wan was naturally angry after hearing this.

For the sake of power and position, Li Si, His Majesty the Emperor Ashun, has already lost his true intentions. Sooner or later, he will fall into his own hands.

A few days ago, the news spread that Baijia was deposed and the magic arts were the only ones.

Immediately there was criticism in Taixue.

All the students in the court became royal advisors and no public discussion was allowed.

All the places listed on the list of hundreds of schools were sealed.Classics, etc., are all added to the Imperial Academy for collection.

This method of prohibiting the spread of culture among the people was supplemented by the prince's previous proposal to establish primary schools and discuss the method of enumerating laws.

Compile teaching materials to teach the children of the world how to read Qin characters, and then use Qin Legalism to teach the people of the world to value profit over justice...

Wang Wan only felt that the prince's previous political views had been completely distorted.
