My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 979: Build high walls and store up food to slowly become king! I have three strategies!
Ying Zheng couldn't help but reveal a bit of surprise in his eyes: "The Tian family of Qi State actually has such a rebellious heart!"

In recent decades, Qi State has been serving Qin State. King Jian of Qi has been weak for most of his life. He only got strong once but it didn't last long. In the end, he announced the demise of Qi State by surrendering and begging for mercy.

In recent decades, the Tian family of Qi State has become an unknown entity on the world stage. Apart from the royal family members, it is difficult to find a few world-famous figures. Most of the Tian family members just stay in their own territory and live a stable life.

It was precisely the serious stereotype that King Jian of Qi and the Tian family of Qi left on people all over the world that not only Ying Zheng, but even Lu Buwei, Wei Liao and others only focused their attacks on the former Qi Bao family, Tang family, Sun family, Chunyu family and other clans, but did not pay much attention to the Tian family of Qi.

Ying Chengjiao nodded and said, "Your Majesty, please do not be fooled by the King of Qi's appearance of surrender."

"To endure, to erode, and to replace, these are the deep-seated aspirations of the Tian family of Qi!"

"Building high walls, storing up food, and slowly claiming the throne is the strategy of the Tian family of Qi!"

"When I led my army into Qi, I intended to reduce the number of powerful and wealthy people in Qi. However, apart from the counterattack launched by Qi Zuo Xiang He and Qi Wai Shi Hu, I did not find any excuse to take action. All I saw was obedience!"

"I was already worried at that time."

"Hasn't your Majesty seen how Tian Wenzi hid himself and how Tian Huanzi was respectful and obedient?"

"Who could have imagined the arrogance of Mr. Tian at that time?"

Ying Chengjiao said firmly: "Hiding in the past and being submissive today are all for the sake of chaos tomorrow!"

Endure it, erode it with a submissive attitude, and finally rise up suddenly to attack and take over.

This was the case when the Tian family usurped Qi, when the Qi kings rebelled against Qin at the end of the Qin Dynasty, and during the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of the Han Dynasty. Even Wang Mang, who usurped the Han Dynasty, was a direct descendant of Tian An, a member of the former Qi royal family!
The Tian family of Qi State handled this process very skillfully.

And this process actually works!

Ying Zheng couldn't help but reveal a deep sense of caution in his eyes: "So the people of Qi hate our Great Qin, so the Confucian scholars of Qi despise our Great Qin, so the world that Qi wants is completely different from the world that I want, so Qi was once the Eastern Emperor and had the foundation to swallow up the world!"

"I have long believed that the Qi territory is a threat to the stability of our Great Qin."

"Now that I have heard what my brother has said, I have realized that I am still not sufficiently on guard against the old Qi territory."

"Build high walls, store up food, and slowly claim the throne?"

"So Qi Tian actually had such an idea and was so persistent!"

"The former Qi territory and the former Qi Tian clan are the greatest threat to our Great Qin!"

The words "build high walls, store up grain, and declare yourself king slowly" hit Ying Zheng's sensitive spot.

With Ying Zheng's wisdom, he could naturally see how terrifying this process was.

After Ying Chengjiao's summary and analysis, Ying Zheng discovered that the Tian family had indeed been practicing this set of procedures with the persistence of several or even more than a dozen generations!
After all, Ying Zheng's life span was limited, and Ying Chengjiao was still a mortal body, so it would be difficult for him to stay in the world for long.

But Tian’s spirit can be passed down forever.

When the Tian family outlasted Ying Zheng and Ying Chengjiao and accumulated enough strength, how would the future King of Qin deal with the sudden rebellion of the Tian family!

Even if the next generation of Qin kings and the next generation of Qin kings are still wise, there will eventually be a generation of Qin kings who are incompetent, and that will be a good opportunity for the former Qi Tian family.

Will the Qin Dynasty at that time be replaced by the Tian family like the Qi State in the past? !

Ying Chengjiao nodded slightly: "Besides this, there are three more."

"Xianyang is more than 3,000 miles away from Jimo!"

"Even if the Great Qin uses cement to pave the road, it still takes a long time to travel from Xianyang to Jimo. This will not only delay government orders, but also seriously weaken the control of the ancient Qi area."

"It is difficult for the people of Qi to return, so the Qi Tian clan is still determined to be a traitor. The long distance makes it difficult to control them."

"These three points will inevitably lead to the Qi Tian family being able to accumulate strength and plot chaos right under the nose of our Great Qin!"

"Your Majesty, do you think so?"

Lü Buwei couldn't help but look cautious, Wei Liao stroked his chin thoughtfully, Ying Zheng looked at Ying Chengjiao in surprise and relief and said, "Chang'an Jun is indeed the general who led the army to defeat Qi, and he knows more about the situation of Qi than I do."

"If it weren't for Lord Chang'an's detailed explanation, I wouldn't have known that the common people, officials, and powerful people in Qi would not easily return to their hearts."

"In addition, the ancient Qi territory is far away from Xianyang, and it is indeed a place where internal troubles are bred!"

"My brother, you have such a deep understanding of the old Qi land. I wonder if you have a good strategy for dealing with it?"

Ying Zheng was really surprised.

Ying Zheng originally thought that Ying Chengjiao was just talking nonsense just to go out and play, but he never expected that Ying Chengjiao could make such an in-depth explanation and evaluation of an area, and Ying Chengjiao's insight was even deeper than Ying Zheng's!
This made Ying Zheng feel relieved and also lifted his spirits. He listened more carefully to Ying Chengjiao's subsequent advice.

Ying Chengjiao was even more excited when he heard Ying Zheng's praise. He straightened his back and said loudly: "I have a good plan to help the king govern Qi!"

Pointing at himself, Ying Chengjiao said seriously: "Your brother is the governor of Langya County, the fake governor of Jiaodong County, and the fake governor of Qi County!"

"The court doesn't need to worry about the rest!"

Lü Buwei could not help but ask, "Does Lord Chang'an think that if Lord Chang'an were to rule the old Qi territory, the old Qi territory would be stable and free of chaos?"

Ying Chengjiao blinked and said as a matter of course: "Of course not!"

Lu Buwei:? ? ?

Ying Chengjiao explained frankly: "If the king agrees to my advice, I will bully men and women in the old Qi land, stir up trouble, and act like a dandy, so as to force the powerful people in the old Qi land to collude and rebel!"

"Then, I will raise an army to defeat them!" "I will guard the old Qi land, so there will be many disturbances in Qi land."

"As long as I am here to guard the ancient Qi, Your Majesty and your colleagues do not need to worry about the ancient Qi anymore."

"Therefore, there will only be small chaos in Qi, but there will never be a big chaos that spreads to other places!"

As he spoke, Ying Chengjiao became already quite excited.

As a prince of the Great Qin, I can finally be a playboy!
When the time comes, I’ll see which stall’s fruits and pastries I like... Forget it, I don’t come here to bully the common people, but the powerful and wealthy.

When the time comes, if I see a mansion or fish pond that I like, I will wave my right hand to ask my soldiers to clear the way, and I will take all the property by force. If there is any resistance, I will kill the whole family.

Xiang Yu could not kill all the anti-Chu forces in the former Qi area.

I would like to give it a try. I will go and kill the anti-Qin forces in the former Qi territory with the genealogy of the Tian family of Qi State. Can I see if I can kill all the anti-Qin forces in the former Qi territory?
Lü Buwei was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Does Lord Chang'an want to stir up a popular uprising first, and then suppress it with the power of war?"

"I do not doubt Chang'an Jun's ability to quell the unrest, but this move will surely cause the old Qi land to be in a state of decay for a long time, and will make people all over the world think that Chang'an Jun and our Great Qin are mean and ungrateful, and murderous without justice."

"I think that Lord Chang'an's strategy is inappropriate!"

Wei Liao shook his head and retorted: "I think that Lord Chang'an's strategy is indeed a good one."

"This strategy will certainly cause frequent chaos in the old Qi area, but why should our Great Qin worry about chaos in the old Qi area? Our Great Qin only worries about keeping the old Qi area from being in chaos!"

"Once there is rebellion in the ancient Qi, our Great Qin can march across the border with a large army and root out the rebels who are rebelling against our Great Qin!"

"If once is not enough, try twice. If two is not enough, try three times."

Lü Buwei looked at Wei Liao with great sorrow and said, "Captain Guo's strategy is really too radical!"

"This move can certainly eliminate the rebels against our Great Qin, but it will also inevitably implicate many people and cause great suffering!"

My most staunch conservative comrade, what on earth has happened to you?
Wei Liao said firmly: "For such rotten flesh, only by making up our minds can we completely remove it!"

kill!kill!kill!

Hahahaha~ I want to see a river of blood!
At this moment, Li Si suddenly spoke quietly: "If Chang'an Jun caused trouble in front of my door, or even wanted to break into my house, I think I would go to the king to cry and complain first, rather than fighting with Chang'an Jun."

"Although I have never seen Lord Chang'an riding a horse on the battlefield, I have heard of his reputation of leading 500 soldiers to defeat more than 10,000 bandits and annihilate five kingdoms in a row and fight across thousands of miles."

"I am not stupid, and I think the former Qi nobles are not stupid either."

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng gave Li Si a satisfied look.

Li Si bowed apologetically to Ying Chengjiao.

Hearing Li Si's words, Wei Liao was also startled, and then he sighed helplessly: "What Li Shangqing said is very true."

"Even those who have never seen the heroic figure of Lord Chang'an in person will be intimidated by his reputation."

"Not to mention the former Qi nobles who witnessed Chang'an Jun's conquests?"

"This strategy is not wrong, but it's a pity that Chang'an Jun has a bad reputation for killing people!"

Ying Chengjiao really wanted to say, the powerful people of Qi were not inferior to Overlord Xiang Yu and Military Genius Han Xin, so why would they be obedient and honest just because of my name?

But just by looking at the looks of the Qin emperor and his ministers, Ying Chengjiao knew that he had no way of using things that had not happened to make them understand how crazy the Qi nobles were!
As expected, Ying Zheng made a final statement: "This strategy is inappropriate!"

"Does my brother have any other advice for you?"

Ying Chengjiao sighed helplessly and could only nod and say, "Brother, there is still a middle plan!"

"Cut off their benefits and relocate their people!"

"Move all the craftsmen and workshops in the old Qi area to Guanzhong to cut off the benefits of the old Qi area's industry."

"Choose another place for transportation not far from the old Qi territory, and let our Great Qin build roads and dig canals to cut off the prosperity of the old Qi territory's trade."

"When all the commerce and industry in the old Qi are abandoned, the people will naturally turn their attention to the land in order to survive, or leave the old Qi along with the workshops and caravans."

"In this way, the differences between Qi and our Great Qin can be slightly alleviated."

Ying Chengjiao's strategy would undoubtedly deal a fatal blow to the industry and commerce in the old Qi area, and would also cause the people of the old Qi to be dissatisfied with the Qin Dynasty.

But it had little impact on the entire Qin Dynasty.

If merchants do not travel through the ancient Qi area, they will travel through other places. If craftsmen do not work in the ancient Qi area, they can work in Guanzhong.

The unrest that could be caused by Gu Qi, a place with grain but no money and no industry, was destined to be far less than that of Gu Qi, a place with grain, money and developed industry.

Without industrial and commercial interests, the people of ancient Qi could only turn their attention to the land.

After all, no matter how profound the cultural heritage is, it can’t defeat a hungry stomach!

Lü Buwei shook his head and said, "The richness of Qi is not only due to its industry and commerce."

"Chang'an Jun also said so."

"Qi is adjacent to Bohai Sea. Just relying on the salt from Bohai Sea, Qi is destined to be prosperous!"
