Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 677 Five Years Period (please give me a monthly recommendation ticket!)

The two brothers were naturally confused.

"Your Majesty, why can't this matter be made public?"

"Our Qin State has always had a good reputation as a tiger and wolf warrior. Most of the officers and soldiers have a heart to repay the kindness to the late emperor and keep themselves safe. As for the betrayal of the general, it is easy to arouse the emotions of the officers and soldiers."

Most of the soldiers promoted by Ying Zheng, when they saw that the Qin Empire was relatively stable, would definitely think of capturing Ren Xiao for the glory and face of the imperial soldiers, and even worse, capturing the area south of Bashu. .

"All the soldiers in the empire have respect for the late emperor. I have always known that some soldiers did not stay at home when they grew old, but went to settle near Lishan Mountain in order to protect the imperial mausoleum. These soldiers were born to To be loyal to the late emperor, his heart is clear."

"I know that they have always been very concerned about Ren Xiao's defection and want me to put an end to this rebellion as soon as possible. But I finally arranged for a group of civil servants to go to various garrisons to appease and suppress them. If they hear this news, some generals will definitely Please take the opportunity to ask me to arrest the rebels and capture central Guizhou. I have finally abolished the military merit system. I must not let all my previous achievements be wasted because of this matter."

Wang Meng couldn't help but sigh after hearing this:

"Your Majesty has lofty aspirations for Qin's great plan for the future. I admire you."

Wang Gang, who has always been silent, is the oldest among the three and has always been taciturn.

Wang Gang widened his sleeves and asked Fusu with a serious look:
"Your Majesty, I used to work as an official outside Xianyang City, handling government affairs. I know very well that the new policy implemented by your Majesty has saved the people from disaster, but I have always had a doubt in my mind. Your Majesty has been frivolous in corvee and low in taxes, and has abolished the title of the head of Guizhou for the common people. , in order to ensure that the water can carry the boat. But Your Majesty, I also heard about it, because Your Majesty implemented this policy of light corvee and low taxes, which left Your Majesty's treasury empty, the three armies stopped their drums, and the soldiers were stationed in the fields, which really reduced the combat effectiveness of the soldiers."

"Everyone knows that His Majesty's actions are aimed at making a big splash in the future and spreading his authority all over the world. But I can't help but wonder how long His Majesty plans to arrange these policies, or how long these policies can last."

Wang Gang looked pious, as if Fusu was a stone carving.

"Why are you asking this? Naturally, I want to see that the new policy has achieved significant results, and then make adjustments."

"Your Majesty, since I was a child, I have only heard about the subjugation of the country and the destruction of the family, but never of the subjugation of the people. Your Majesty's goal of reassuring the people is to protect the country. I just hope that your majesty will not reverse the order and neglect to protect the country in order to secure the people."

"What do you mean by that?"

"What your Majesty wants to accomplish, many people have done before, but many people have failed. Your Majesty's desire to enrich the people is indeed in line with today's world situation and alleviate the crisis of Qin State, but has your Majesty ever thought about enriching the people? Limit. What's more, even if His Majesty issues such a policy, can everyone in the world really live a life of ample food and clothing?"

"Since ancient times, people's hearts have been two-sided, and good and evil coexist. We Chinese humans seem to be wearing robes and eating cooked food without raw water and using hog wings, but we are no different from the beasts in the mountains and the earth. In order to Interests will still be fought openly and secretly. I know that Your Majesty has been in power for two years, and has been the crown prince for twelve years. I know everything that should be known, but today I still want to take the risk of offending Your Majesty and admonish Your Majesty. "

"When governing national policies, you must not go against human nature. Your Majesty is thinking about easing the hostility and conflicts in the country by weakening the country's strength. There is indeed nothing wrong with the method. However, your Majesty, it is easier to breed disasters in an overly tolerant social environment. Your Majesty, ten years have passed. Even now, I am still full of enthusiasm. I am about to enter old age, and I am very envious that your Majesty still has this spirit. However, I am worried that your majesty’s kindness to the people of the world will be taken advantage of. "

"So I ask your Majesty to reconsider whether these overly tolerant and open policies should one day be tightened. People who are overstretched must indeed loosen their belts, but people cannot always be overstretched. There is no such thing as running a country. , It may be difficult to say, easy to say, but please consider it, Your Majesty."

Wang Meng also said:

"Your Majesty, what my brother said is really from the bottom of his heart. Your Majesty, you can be called a gentleman, but is everyone in the world a gentleman? Your Majesty wants to maintain social stability, but some people want to take the opportunity to cause trouble, especially your Majesty's current policies. If you don't collect the surplus grain from these people, your majesty, the powerful landowners will take the opportunity to loot it. As a result, the suffering of the common people has never ended, but the people are resentful of you."

Wang Gang continued:

"That's the truth. Everyone in the world knows Emperor Zhou, but even though Emperor Zhou has intentions, he can't save the people from fire and water."

"I understand this truth. The princes are vassal to the emperor, and the great men are vassal to the princes. The princes will be loyal to the emperor, and the great men will be loyal to the princes, but the great men will not be loyal to the emperor."

"Then how long do you think your majesty's policy can be implemented?"

The second generation sighed:

"In the early days of my personal administration, I focused on the management of officials. Now the government has become peaceful and stable. It has already taken two years. I thought it would take another five years."

"I believe that the ideal goal of governing a country is for everyone to have a surplus of food in their homes to prepare for emergencies. If this can be achieved, the resentment of the people will be quelled by then. If all the instructions I give can be implemented step by step , I believe that in five years, everyone in the world will be convinced by me. But to do this, I cannot do it alone, and I have to rely on you all."

When Wang Ao and Wang Gang heard this deadline, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

"I am willing to devote myself wholeheartedly to Your Majesty and complete this important task."

This matter has a bit of a "Jihua economy" tone, but it may have surprising effects for the empire.

Fusu thought of this and twirled his beard.

"The two of you have reminded me today that when I come to court tomorrow, I will bet with my ministers. We will use these five years to see whether the world can implement great governance during my reign as emperor, and whether all ministers and people can be able to do so. Be sincerely convinced of me. If this happens, on the one hand, it will prove to the people of the world that I am a capable king and increase my prestige in the world. On the other hand, by then all the ministers will know which direction to go in and can unite. Consistent.”

"It's really possible! Your Majesty! Judging from my observation of the ministers in the court, if your majesty sets this five-year period, the ministers in the court will definitely be in high spirits. I personally think that your majesty is really far-sighted. But many people may not understand His Majesty’s intentions. But if Your Majesty mentions this five-year period, many people in the court will definitely know which target the arrow should be aimed at.”
