Da Qin: Rebuked the dissatisfied ministers, held the sword towards the emperor at the beginning

on the throne.

"..."

Ying Zheng silently compared the beliefs and thoughts of the two important ministers.

no doubt.

The underlying logic of the national policy recommended by Tu Ju is completely opposite to that of Yin Lie.

All of Yin Lie's advice revolved around one core point!
That is the substantial unification that created Kyushu.

Various policies are also based on divergent multi-dimensional... multi-pronged approach...

The ultimate goal is to open up and consolidate deeper connections in politics, land, economy, military, legal system, culture, transportation, commerce, education, public opinion, historical identity and many other aspects of the two major areas of Guanzhong and Central Plains.

First: the political level.

Yin Lie proposed the migration system, plus the system of honest and corrupt officials.

Let the Central Plains scholar class come directly to Guanzhong and have a way to become an official.

This is tantamount to tilting certain political resources to the Central Plains scholar class in exchange for further integration of Guanzhong and the Central Plains in the future.

Let’s look at Tu Ju’s policy of dominating the Qin Dynasty again...

There is no problem of integration at all.

Tu Ju always considers issues and formulates policies firmly from Guanzhong's standpoint and interests.

That is to say: You must not harm the interests of the old Qin people in Guanzhong to benefit the enemies and people of the Central Plains!

The meat of bureaucracy and political resources...

Even if he dies, he must die in Guanzhong. The Central Plains serfs can’t even think about it!

Second: land level.

Yin Lie proposed a corvee and land distribution plan, and the underlying logic also benefited the people at the lowest level.

At the same time, it paved the way for Da Qin's transition from Wu to Wen!
As long as the right to allocate land is transferred from the hands of the military class to the heads of the people of Kyushu.

The military class has lost the basis for continued expansion.

Because the core of military merit is nothing more than reward and punishment.

Why did the combat effectiveness of Wei soldiers plummet in the past?
In fact, there is no appropriate amount of land to distribute rewards, and the military class has lost new blood and gradually become weaker and weaker.

The same reason.

Yin Lie used the corvee and land distribution plan to take away the military class's say in the land, which is equivalent to pulling out the firewood!

This is intolerable to Guowei Tu Ju!

therefore.

The moment the Southern Expedition was launched!
The first thing that Guowei Tuju wanted to regain was to completely replace the corvee and land distribution plan with the diantian military merit system.

As long as the land continues to be in the hands of the military class...

Then the path of extreme hegemony, legalism, military merit, conquest, and expansion can continue to be played.

otherwise……

The southern expedition will only be an arm's length talk on paper.

After all, it involves the land rewards for military merit of hundreds of thousands of warriors.

The existing land in Guanzhong is definitely not enough, and the large amount of land occupied by the Central Plains scholar class must be vacated.

This is the most important part of the southern expedition plan.

This is also the real reason why Tu Ju wants to kill millions of Central Plains officials.

The family assets of the Central Plains officials could be used as military expenses for the southern expedition.

The vast land resources of the Central Plains scholar class can be used as the basis for rewards for foreign conquests.

All the people in the nine states of the Central Plains were used as serfs and used as mines...

It can be used as backup fuel for the Great Qin chariot rolling forward!

have to say!

Tu Ju's series of policies towards the Central Plains were truly ruthless to the core.

Even the First Emperor couldn't help but frown when he heard this!
Ying Zheng was indeed the extremely domineering leader at first...

Regarding the royal banner advocated by Lu Buwei and the general trend of heaven, Ying Zheng always felt that it was reasonable, but he also revealed the feeling of long nights and many dreams!

Ying Zheng knew that he had to work hard to unify the east...

Otherwise, we will face many unexpected problems that will lead to decline and exhaustion.

and so.

Ying Zheng's method of unification was extremely domineering.

At that time, Tu Ju, the captain of the Three Dukes, perfectly met Ying Zheng's political needs.

This is also the real reason why Tu Ju was able to become the highest military minister in the Qin Dynasty.

of course.

To be more precise.

In fact, it is the interests of the national preceptor Wei Liaozi...

Wei Liaozi knew very well what the emperor was thinking.

Therefore.

Only Wei Liaozi would recommend Tu Ju!

From this incident, we can see that Wei Liaozi is definitely an extraordinary existence.

Closer to home.

Enough about politics and land.

Back to the economic level.

Tu Ju's policy of dominating the Qin Dynasty did not pay much attention to trade and economy...

In the middle of the hall.

"His Majesty!"

Tu Ju continued: "I still remember that Qin Yucheng mentioned before that he wanted to open up the economy and focus on commerce and trade!"

"The veteran is firmly opposed to this, because pro-business will inevitably corrupt the social customs and make more people get something for nothing in society. Everyone wants to gain a foothold through cheating and cheating..."

"Let me ask, who will be able to farm safely at that time, and who will risk their lives on the battlefield?"

"In my opinion, the so-called open economy and emphasis on commerce and trade are completely harmful to the country!"

"As for the various resources of the Central Plains, such as the salt and iron in the original Qi region, the wood and mineral resources in the original Chu region, etc., we, Da Qin, can directly transfer them to the imperial court and use them as we please. Who dares to say more!?"

"As for the various military supplies required, there is no need for trade to drive the inventory. It will be directly allocated through corvee labor, which will only be more efficient and cost-free!"

……

Tu Ju did not consider the wishes of the people of the Central Plains at all.

Anyway, just stick to one thing!
As for the nearly 2000 million people in the Central Plains, as long as they cannot be squeezed to death, they will be squeezed to death!

Farming all year round is actually part of the job.

The various corvees every year not only have to take into account various national projects.

Moreover, at the level of military supplies for war, mining, transportation, smelting, etc. can also be allocated through corvee labor!
The main idea is to completely abandon business, directly use the corvee policy, and concentrate on doing big things.

"Lieutenant!"

Yin Lie seriously reminded: "First of all, you have classified key resources such as salt and iron as owned by the imperial court. There is no problem in this move!"

"But if you want to solve all material supply problems through labor and apportionment, you must face a reality..."

"That is an official monopoly, which will inevitably lead to problems such as slow efficiency, low effectiveness of finished products, and serious internal corruption!"

"The economy is open, there is competition, survival of the fittest, and the market forces vendors to continuously iterate and produce good products. This is the real way!"

"And the most important thing is... corvee has an upper limit. Once the upper limit is exceeded, the whole world will definitely turn against it."

"That's all, this is my conclusion on the relationship between business and corvee!"

……

Yin Lie believes that the economy is the lubricant of the country.

Economic openness can energize an entire empire.

It can even make the prosperous times come earlier.But Tu Ju was extremely repulsive to the commercial economy...

The reason is that Tu Ju still purely stands on the level of war and dismantles the role of business.

Needless to say.

This will only lead to an extremely one-sided conclusion!

It's like peeking through a tube...you can't see any flowers!
Tu Ju's idea is really too outdated.

suddenly.

"Meng Qing."

Ying Zheng had a headache due to the quarrel between Yin Lie and Tu Ju.

Anyway, the public says that the public is right, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is right.

The two sides have different positions and different arguments, and the final results will naturally be polar opposites.

"Meng Qing, what do you think of our Great Qin's commercial economy?"

Ying Zheng asked Meng Wu, he wanted to hear different opinions.

Meng Wu felt a lot of pressure after hearing this...

Whether it is Yin Lie or Tu Ju.

Both of them are the most talented people in the world at the policy-making level!
Meng Wu believed that he was actually somewhat mediocre in terms of talent.

of course.

It also depends on who you compare with.

Meng Wu couldn't compare to Tu Ju and Yin Lie, but compared to the ordinary civil servants and generals in the court, Meng Wu was absolutely worthy.

that's it.

After Meng Wu pondered briefly, he respectfully handed over his hand and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the development of trade and economy is very necessary. Even if our Qin Dynasty needs to focus on foreign wars, the trade and economy can also connect all diplomatic matters... "

"For example, Lu Xiang used economic ties to maintain the relationship between the Qi and Qin alliances. As a result, Qi did not send troops once until the demise of Chu."

"Similarly, in the future, whether our Great Qin chooses to govern internally or engage in external war, it will not be a good thing if the commercial and economic side shows off its weakness too much."

……

Meng Wu gave a very insightful advice.

Upon seeing this, Yin Lie immediately extended his thumb to him without hesitation.

The face of Guowei Tu Ju was a little dark...

So the question is coming?

Doesn't Guowei Tuju understand that business and diplomacy are related to espionage and infiltration?
The answer is that Tu Ju must understand...

It’s just that Tu Ju upholds the ultimate domineering attitude!

On the matter of the Southern Expedition!

Tu Ju's attitude is also to treat hundreds of thousands of people as serfs and human mines!
All material resources have become the fuel for the wheels of Da Qin's war!
There you go!
What commercial diplomacy, espionage and infiltration are not important at all!

Da Qin only needed to use absolute force to conquer the land of Baiyue, and then apply the policies and methods of epoch-making colonization and military slavery.

to be honest.

In Tu Ju's view, commercial diplomacy and espionage infiltration are... an insignificant part of foreign war!
In contrast.

The negative impact brought about by Da Qin's emphasis on commerce was something Tu Ju could not accept.

As the saying goes, choose the lesser of two evils.

Tu Ju would rather the war between Da Qin and Baiyue be more intense. He also wants to maintain the national consensus of Guanzhong to build a country by force, and resolutely resist such behaviors as cheating, cheating, and speculation.

on the throne.

"Meng Qing's words make sense."

Ying Zheng nodded, he himself was more inclined to...don't be too extreme.

Mengwu took Lu Buwei's commercial and diplomatic alliance as an example. This definitely spoke to Ying Zheng's heart.

After Yingzheng came to power in the past year, he immediately overturned the new French policy formulated by Lu Buwei.

Only in commercial diplomacy.

Ying Zheng chose to fully adopt Lu Buwei's political strategy.

no doubt.

This choice is very wise.

Lu Buwei is worthy of being a famous businessman in the late Warring States Period. In terms of business, Lao Lu dared to say he was second. At that time, few people dared to say he was number one.

"His Majesty."

Tu Ju did not worry too much about business and economics.

He immediately changed the subject and said: "As for the rule of law in our Great Qin, I still believe that national law, that is, military law, should be used to detect traitors and stop punishments. Only by using heavy codes can we deter the floating hearts of the nine states!"

"Including matters such as corvee distribution, corruption, control of iron farm tools, household registration, etc., everything must be done in every detail. Those who dare to commit disobedience must be punished with corporal punishment!"

"In this way, we can continue to maintain... or even improve the military strength of our Great Qin from a legal perspective!"

……

Tu Ju's core requirement for the law was not to consolidate the empire's political development.

Rather, it maintains or enhances the combat effectiveness of the army.

So does this logic make sense?
The answer is that it does make sense!
Although it seems cruel and ridiculous...

But if we can prove it from the historical trajectory.

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Zhang Han relied on his army of prisoners to defeat Xiang Liang, and the rest of the six kingdoms were frightened. If Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, had not emerged...

Maybe the Great Qin in history could survive for a few more years.

So why are the prisoners in Daqin Guanzhong so powerful?

The reason is that...

First: The household registration of the Qin people in Guanzhong is bound according to the Shiwu system.

If your neighbor breaks the law, you are jointly and severally liable.

Second: Military service is a must. As long as you reach the age of 17, you must take time to perform military service and train every year!
Third: It is Qin law, that is, military law...

The old Qin people in Guanzhong regard military law as a mountain in their bones. Coupled with the subconscious binding knowledge of Shiwu household registration, they will be more cooperative when fighting, and their willpower is extremely tenacious!
however.

Every advantage must have a disadvantage!
Yin Lie immediately stood up and said: "The consistent Qin law is military law. It can indeed maintain or even improve the military strength of our Great Qin, but it also leaves no room for flexibility in the legal system."

"In the past, our Daqin only had control over Guanzhong, and many things were controllable. For example, transporting military supplies would have to travel hundreds of miles. Unless there was a particularly severe natural disaster along the way, we could basically arrive at a certain time and quantity."

"But our Great Qin now controls the land of Jiuzhou, and in the future Baiyue will also conquer the territory of our Great Qin..."

"This creates a problem. For example, when it comes to the distribution of corvee labor, the transportation of materials has changed from a place of a hundred miles at the beginning to a distance of thousands of miles!"

"Let me ask! Who can walk a thousand miles without making any mistakes along the way? If you still implement the Qin law, which is the concept of military law, and leave no room for flexibility, you will be punished with two shields or corporal punishment..."

"I can only say that the number of people who commit crimes will probably increase exponentially in the future!"

"By then, it will inevitably lead to a situation where the whole people are extremely resistant to Qin's law!"

……

Yin Lie's position is still that of the whole world.

He just gave an example of transporting supplies.

In fact, it’s the small things that make the big things happen!

The larger the territory of an ancient dynasty, the difficulty and cost of governance would increase exponentially.

at this time.

It is definitely not suitable to use Chongdian in the early running-in stage!
Because too many people will be accidentally injured and misjudged!
As a result, everyone except Guanzhong hates and rejects Qin Fa...

Yin Lie said that he strongly disagreed with Tu Ju's legal philosophy!

"Hmph! Bullshit!"

Tu Ju said indifferently: "They are just a group of serfs mining? They don't even have any ideas, how can they resist? And our country in Guanzhong has long been accustomed to Qin law, that is, military law. In short, as long as we can maintain the army of our Guanzhong elite With military power, the empire will never be in chaos!"

Yin Lie: "..."
