The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 16 Princess Xia’s Teachings
Of course, that doesn't mean that all of Nannan's education was given to Bai Zhi, as Gongzi Qian still came from time to time.

After hearing Nannan's words, Bai Zhi pondered for a moment, and then said, "Does Nannan not want Qin and Wei to fight?"

"Uh-huh!"

Hearing this, Nannan looked at Bai Zhi expectantly, as if Bai Zhi could find a way to prevent the two countries from fighting.

However, Bai Zhi did not answer directly, but asked: "Why do you not want the two countries to go to war?"

"When Qin and Wei fight, many people will inevitably die. Nannan has read in books that many people will die after every war."

Nannan answered seriously.

"Then why do you think the two countries are at war?"

"Because... land?"

"That's right!"

Bai Zhi nodded, and then said: "In the past, the land of all the princes was awarded by the Emperor of Zhou. Except for some princes, such as Qin, Chu, etc., they could attack Xirong to the west and seize the land, and Chu could seize the land south. The land of Baiyue, while the countries in the Eastern Central Plains can only maintain their original size."

"But as the population of various countries increases and the land does not increase, the land owned by each person becomes less and the food harvested remains the same. Then, on average, the food eaten by each person will also become less. This means It urges the king of every country to find ways to acquire land to support his people!"

"So, we can only seize other countries' land!"

Bai Zhi looked into the palace garden, sighed, and said: "When the Emperor of Zhou founded the country, there were more than a hundred feudal princes. Looking at it now, there are only a handful of them. In these hundreds of years, how many princes and kingdoms have been destroyed?" Ancestral temple?"

"But now that the territories of the countries are vast and the citizens are so numerous and have not changed again, why do they use swords?"

Princess Xia didn't understand.Bai Zhi looked at Princess Xia and knew that she grew up in a deep palace and did not know the sufferings of the world. She was well protected by Lord Qin and had not been exposed to the political affairs of other countries. It was normal to have doubts about these issues.

"Because of greed!"

"War is the only way for countries to acquire land, and it is also the simplest method. In order to obtain more land, treasures, people, rights, etc., the simplest and most direct way for kings and nobles of various countries is to launch wars with foreign countries. .”

"Then Qin..."

Nannan looked shocked, and thought of something at the same time, seemingly falling into self-doubt.

Bai Zhi smiled, suddenly feeling guilty that his evil intentions had come true, but he continued: "I think you should ask your father-in-law personally about Qin's purpose. Of course, I can also tell you in advance. The purpose is definitely not the same as that of other countries!”

Qin Wuqi on the side listened with trepidation. These words were no longer something that an ordinary Qin general like him could hear.

The Qin State was just for the survival of the Qin State at first, and then it was to end this era of endless wars.

I don’t know whether times create heroes, or heroes create an era. Maybe it will be Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng or someone else who appears in the future.

But the trend of unification is inevitable. The general trend of the world is that if we divide for a long time, we will unite, and if we unite for a long time, we will divide.

The little human cub seemed to have many little question marks. Bai Zhi did not answer her questions. Sometimes, it might be better to let it find the answers on its own.

He told her so easily, but she couldn't understand it deeply.

With doubts in her heart, Nannan immediately stood up from the couch, and then wanted to walk out of the palace garden.

"Princess Xia?!"

Qin Wuji in front of the palace gate looked at Nannan with worried and respectful eyes.

"I'm going to find my father-in-law!"

With that said, the small body disappeared in front of the palace gate. Qin Wuji looked at Bai Zhi, then looked at the direction where Nannan disappeared, and immediately followed him.

……

Not a moment later, Princess Xia left and returned.Bai Zhi had already gotten the answer through his disappointed face. At the same time, Qin Wuji, who was following Princess Xia, was holding some bamboo slips.

"How? Have you ever gotten the answer?" Nannan sat aside, drank a cup of tea, and said disappointedly: "My father-in-law said, Xiao Queque, you never told me, and my father-in-law didn't tell me either. He just gave me some books, saying that they were from The answers can be found in the book.”

"Then let's read!"

The summer is hot and the heat is unbearable, but the Huizhi Palace is cool and pleasant. Inside the palace, a girl in gorgeous clothes is seen reading seriously. Bamboo slips are scattered on the floor next to the table.

The palace maids on the side tidied it up for her with great respect.

The sunlight casts beams of light from the carved window lattice on the side, and then falls on the table, turning into bright flowers, blurring people's eyes.

The waiters and maids in the palace were all on tiptoe, for fear of disturbing Princess Xia who was studying.

Outside, Qin Wuji was also sitting in the pavilion beside him, holding a military book in his hand and forgetting to eat or sleep.

A bird landed on the grass nearby, chirping and playing, and a colorful butterfly lingered in front of the window lattice, as if it was about to fly into the palace to read with Princess Xia.

The years are quiet and seem to have stopped forever at this moment.

At this moment, Princess Xia raised her head, a look of surprise appeared on her delicate face.

She had read the book once and seemed to get the answer from the book.

Thinking of this, she quickly stood up and came to Bai Zhi's side. She looked at the divine bird taking a nap, gently shook it awake, and then said quickly: "Little Queque, I understand!"

"what do you know?"

Bai Zhi, who had just woken up, asked subconsciously.

"What our Qin State seeks is not simply land, people, and rights, but the world!"

"Ok?"

Hearing Nannan's answer, Bai Zhi couldn't help but look stunned, and then looked at Nannan in surprise.

Did you find the answer so quickly?
This was indeed a bit beyond Bai Zhi's expectation.

"Looking at the people of the six countries, after a hundred years of war, they did not truly recuperate. Instead, they continued to cultivate, fight, and then die!"

Princess Xia's eyes were a little hollow, as if she had seen an unknown scene, and her interest became a little low.

Then she looked at Bai Zhi and asked: "After our Qin Kingdom comes east, we will plot the world so that there will be no wars in the world forever, and the people of the world will no longer suffer from the pain of conquests, and there will be no need to join the army. Bear that pain?”

"Is this your guess? Or your answer?"

Bai Zhi looked at Nannan with serious eyes.

At this time, Princess Xia no longer seemed to be an eight-year-old child, but a woman in her late teens, who had truly understood this society and this era.

"How could I have such an illusion!?"

Bai Zhi shook his head and heard Nannan reply: "This... is Nannan's guess, but it's more like what she read in the book..."

"What I saw in the book..."

Extraordinary people indeed have extraordinary talents.

As a great writer of later generations said: I looked up history and found that there is no chronology in this history. The four words benevolence, justice and morality are written crookedly on every page.I couldn't sleep anyway, so I read carefully for half the night, and then I saw the words between the words. There were two words written all over the book: "cannibalism!"

Although what Nannan saw from the book was not such an advanced point of view, compared with this era, it was more than 01:30 points ahead?
Maybe it just takes time to ferment, and she will break into a new world!
　Ask for collection, ask for recommendation!
