Compared with Yi Huawei's high spirits, Yi Xiaochuan seemed a little lonely and awkward, with a wandering look in his eyes.

Faced with Yi Huawei's rising power and grand blueprint, he felt mixed emotions, and his mantras of benevolence, righteousness, and morality seemed pale and powerless at this moment.

"It is true that people with different ideals cannot work together, and summer insects cannot talk about ice."

Yi Huawei looked directly into Yi Xiaochuan's eyes and said slowly:

"Just live out the rest of your life adhering to your creed! You will see my name passed down through the ages. In your lifetime, you will see the flag of the Great Qin flying all over the world. As for the problem of prosperity and decline, you don't have to worry about it. As long as the total population of the Great Qin people accounts for half of the world's population, even if it sinks temporarily, there will be a day of revival. As for who will be the emperor, I don't care."

After saying this, Yi Huawei raised his head slightly, his eyes revealing infinite reverie about the future, and continued: "The current population of my Great Qin is 180 million. In another hundred years, the population will definitely exceed 2 billion. With the agricultural foundation and territory I have laid, it will not be a problem to feed 5 billion people..."

Yi Xiaochuan frowned, as if he wanted to refute, but he didn't know where to start. His lips trembled slightly, and he finally squeezed out a sentence: "You are so aggressive and aggressive, expanding your territory, have you ever thought about the lives of the people? How many innocent lives have been lost along the way? Is this what you call a great achievement?"

Yi Huawei sneered, with a hint of disdain in his laughter: "Humph! You are too soft-hearted. Wherever my Qin cavalry went, there was war, but it also brought civilization and order. Those conquered lands were originally in chaos and backwardness, and it was the Qin that gave them new life. We built water conservancy projects and promoted advanced farming techniques so that the people no longer suffered from hunger; we built roads and promoted trade so that materials from all over the country could circulate. Isn't this a move that benefits the world?"

Yi Xiaochuan shook his head: "Your so-called civilization and order are nothing more than imposing force on others. Every nation has its own path of development. Why do you think that the Qin model is the best?"

Yi Huawei laughed: "Because the Qin Dynasty is strong! In this world where the strong prey on the weak, only the strong can make rules and lead the development of the times. Look at the Qin Dynasty today. Its territory spans most of Asia. It destroyed the Xiongnu in the north, so that they dared not go south to herd horses; it pacified the Xiqiang in the west and the Donghu in the east, bringing these nomadic peoples under the rule of the Qin Dynasty, so that they bid farewell to the life of eating raw meat and drinking blood, and learned to farm and settle down. In the south, our Qin Dynasty annexed Baiyue and Ailao, and expanded the territory of our Qin Dynasty to the shores of the South China Sea. In the west, countries such as Parthia, Persia, and Aleuk were wiped out by the firearms of the Qin Dynasty, and the Qin cavalry went all the way west and conquered large tracts of land along the Mediterranean coast. Today, in addition to millions of tiger soldiers, our Qin Dynasty also has a naval fleet of 300,000, dominating the sea. What an honor and glory it is!"

Yi Xiaochuan was silent for a moment: "But if you do this, you will break the balance of history. The future direction will become unpredictable and may even lead to a greater disaster."

Yi Huawei laughed: "The balance of history? That's just an excuse for your cowardice. I want to change this world and create a prosperous era for the Qin Dynasty. If we just follow the so-called history, what's the point of our time travel? I want to use the power of the Qin Dynasty to reshape the world and let the civilization of the Qin Dynasty shine everywhere."

Yi Xiaochuan showed a trace of pain on his face: "But, you will attract countless hatreds. The people of other countries will not be willing to be ruled. They will rise up in resistance. The rule of the Qin Dynasty may not last long."

Yi Huawei's eyes were stern. "Resist? That's overestimating their own strength. The army of the Qin Dynasty is invincible. We have advanced weapons and equipment, strict military discipline, and a complete governance system. For those conquered areas, we will select local talents to participate in governance and respect their customs and beliefs. As long as they obey the rule of the Qin Dynasty, they can share the prosperity of the Qin Dynasty. As for those who attempt to resist, we will resolutely suppress them."

Yi Xiaochuan sighed: "You have been blinded by power. Your ambition will drag Daqin into an abyss of no return."

Yi Huawei looked at Yi Xiaochuan with disdain: "You don't understand what real politics and strategy are. The expansion of the Qin Dynasty is not blind, and every step is carefully planned. I built military fortresses and stationed troops on the conquered land to ensure the security of the border. At the same time, I vigorously developed cultural education, so that the culture of the Qin Dynasty can be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and people from all over the country will gradually recognize the rule of the Qin Dynasty. In terms of economy, we encourage commercial trade, promote economic exchanges and development in various places, and let the people live and work in peace and contentment."

Yi Xiaochuan shook his head helplessly: "I can't communicate with you, and I can't agree with your ideas."

"I don't need your approval!"

Yi Huawei sneered: "Your mind and eyes are only concerned with those little romances, and you have trapped yourself in a narrow little world. All you care about is the joys and sorrows of a few people. Your vision is really too narrow."

Yi Huawei stood up, stood with his hands behind his back, and continued: "And what I seek is to push Daqin to a peak that no one can reach, to make it the overlord of the entire world. You have also seen that Daqin may still have some shortcomings in your eyes at the moment. In the long years to come, Daqin may inevitably encounter various setbacks and tribulations, but so what? As long as our Daqin's foundation is solid enough, the population is large enough, and the cultural heritage is deep and strong enough, then no matter what storms we encounter, Daqin will surely be able to rise again, stand at the top of the world, and let the four directions come to pay tribute."

When Yi Xiaochuan heard this, he became more and more emotional. His face flushed red, and veins on his forehead were faintly exposed. He raised his voice and retorted: "Your so-called solid foundation, is it built on the suffering of the people? Look at what you have done over the years, constantly conquering foreign countries, endlessly expanding territory, and leaving a mess wherever you go. Have you ever thought about those people who lost their homes because of the war? They used to live and work in peace and contentment, but because of the iron hoof of the Qin Dynasty, they became displaced. And those innocent lives lost in the war, those are all fresh lives, how innocent are they?"

Yi Xiaochuan took a breath and continued, "You keep saying that you want to make the Great Qin culture strong, but in fact, what you do is clearly destroying cultural diversity. You forcibly suppress the civilizations of other regions with the strictness of Qin law. No matter how unique and beautiful cultural traditions those places originally had, when they come here, they all have to follow the Great Qin's system. Is this what you call making the Great Qin culture strong?"

Yi Huawei responded calmly: "Those who achieve great things do not pay attention to small details. If you look through history, from ancient times to the present, in that long river of history, which great empire was not forged in the baptism of blood and fire? In order to achieve a greater goal, some sacrifices are inevitable, so what does it matter?"

"When the flags of the Great Qin are planted on every piece of land in the world, when the Qin language becomes the common language in all places, and when our Great Qin system is imitated by all quarters, then everyone will understand how correct and far-sighted the choices I made today are. Those seemingly cruel means now are just the price that must be paid to achieve the future glory of the Great Qin."

Yi Xiaochuan snorted coldly and said with disdain: "Humph, you say it lightly, but are those who sacrificed not human beings? Can their pain be ignored so easily by you?"

Yi Huawei sneered and said, "Yes! What I want is the eternal glory of the Qin Dynasty, and the great achievements that future generations will always admire. If we give up pursuing higher and farther goals just because of the so-called peaceful life we ​​see in front of us, it will be a betrayal of history and irresponsible to the people of the Qin Dynasty." Yi Xiaochuan sighed, with a hint of helplessness and regret in his tone, and said, "You are wrong. History is not written only by the victors. What really makes history is whether the people's well-being is guaranteed and whether civilization can be inherited and developed. You are so blindly militaristic. Even if you rely on force to create the glory of the Qin Dynasty for a while, it is only a superficial prosperity. Countless hidden dangers have been buried in secret. Sooner or later, these hidden dangers will erupt. At that time, the Qin Dynasty will surely end up in ruin."

Yi Huawei heard this and smiled: "You only see those so-called sacrifices, but you don't see the good life that the people of Daqin are living now."

Yi Huawei sat back in his seat, took a sip of his teacup, and continued, "Take the construction of the canal for example. I requisitioned prisoners of war and slaves to do the work, which not only solved the labor problem, but also allowed the project to proceed smoothly. Once the canal is built, who will benefit? Isn't it the people of Daqin? Now every family of Daqin has three years of surplus grain, and they have no worries about food and clothing on weekdays. This is a good life that we couldn't even imagine in the past."

Yi Xiaochuan disagreed and retorted: "What about the people in other conquered areas? Do they deserve to be treated differently? You classify them as second-class people. Only those who have made military achievements or contributions to the Qin Dynasty can be recognized by the Qin Dynasty. Is this fair? They originally had their own lives and their own culture. But now, under the rule of the Qin Dynasty, what kind of life are they living?"

Yi Huawei frowned and said, "What's unfair about this? Since they have become part of Daqin, they must naturally follow the rules of Daqin. If they want to get better treatment, they must work hard and contribute to Daqin. Only in this way can the entire Daqin be united and continue to move forward. If everyone is treated equally, then what is the hard work and struggle of the people of Daqin over the years? Why should they share the foundation they have worked so hard to build with those who came later?"

Yi Xiaochuan raised his voice and said, "But if you do this, it will only make the people in the conquered areas resentful. If this continues, the Qin Empire will be plagued by internal conflicts. How can it develop stably and for a long time?"

Yi Huawei shook his head: "This is where you are short-sighted. I will use various policies to slowly resolve these conflicts and allow them to gradually integrate into Daqin. For example, we set up schools so that those foreign children can also learn Daqin's culture and knowledge. As long as they identify with Daqin and are willing to work for Daqin, they can gradually improve their status. Moreover, in terms of economy, we also encourage them to participate in Daqin's commercial activities, so that they can see the hope of living a good life with Daqin."

Yi Xiaochuan: "But in this process, all kinds of unfair things are bound to happen. The people at the bottom, whether they are from the Qin or foreign races, have been oppressed too much."

Yi Huawei retorted: "Where is absolute fairness in the world? Everything I do is to weigh the pros and cons and choose the most beneficial approach for the whole of Daqin. You always look at things from the perspective of those individuals, but ignore the overall situation of the country. Daqin is now in such a position that it must remain strong in order to deter all sides."

Yi Xiaochuan sneered and said, "According to you, as long as we can maintain the strength of the Qin Dynasty, sacrificing the interests of some people is reasonable?"

Yi Huawei nodded without hesitation and said, "When necessary, it is indeed true. For the happiness of the majority of the people of Daqin and for the immortality of Daqin, it is worth sacrificing the immediate interests of a small number of people."

Yi Xiaochuan was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at Yi Huawei and said, "You are simply selfish. You are pretending to be doing good for the Qin Dynasty, but in fact you are just trying to satisfy your own ambitions and leave your name in history."

"Yup!"

Yi Huawei looked calm and nodded as a matter of course: "What's wrong with this? The people of our Great Qin are the foundation of our country and the most important thing. If we need to weigh the two, it is far better to make them suffer than to let the people of our Great Qin suffer. Everything I do is for the prosperity of the Great Qin as the ultimate destination. As long as the Great Qin can stand firm, everything else can be abandoned."

Yi Xiaochuan laughed in anger: "Don't forget that water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. Today you trample on foreigners so wantonly. If they get the chance in the future, they will surely rise up and attack you. How can the Qin Dynasty be stable and peaceful for a long time?"

Yi Huawei curled his lips in disdain: "My Great Qin has strong soldiers and horses, and strict laws. What is there to fear? And I am gradually assimilating them. As long as the Great Qin continues to be strong, they can only follow the trend and surrender obediently."

Yi Xiaochuan snorted coldly: "You are wishful thinking. People's minds are hard to predict. How can you be so sure?"

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Yi Huawei's eyes: "I will deal with all changes with iron-blooded means. Anyone who attempts to shake the foundation of the Qin Dynasty will be ruthlessly suppressed by me."

With a smile, Yi Huawei stood up and looked at Yi Xiaochuan, and said loudly:
"Although you and I are from the same clan, we have different ideals and cannot work together. You only see the compromise in front of you and pity the trivial joys and sorrows of the foreigners, but you don't know that the general trend of the world is mighty and powerful. Those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish. I only believe in one truth in my life, that is, the glory of the Qin Dynasty is above all else! I am willing to use my blood and everything I have to forge a smooth path for the Qin Dynasty to eternal immortality. Every inch of land expansion and every baptism of war are solid steps for the Qin Dynasty to reach the peak.

The accusations you level against me today are nothing but the whine of a coward. In the long river of history, they will eventually be drowned out by the mighty voice of the Qin Dynasty.

I will lead the Qin cavalry, break through all obstacles, let the Qin flag fly in every corner of the world, let the Qin culture illuminate the entire night like a bright star. Even if there are thorns ahead, even if there are curses behind me, I will never retreat a single step.

Because what I carry on my shoulders are the hopes and future of countless people of the Qin Dynasty; what I pursue is the dream of a great empire that future generations can only look up to but find difficult to reach.

The glorious road of the Great Qin will be opened up by me, and no one can stop me!"
