Chapter 28

The matter of Zi Nu can only be regarded as a small episode after all. Even if Ying Zheng intends to make Zi Nu one of the leaders of the net in the future, it is impossible to invest too much energy on her.

South Korea was destroyed too easily. Except that Liu Yi's troops were wiped out by Wang Jian's troops, the Han army was not injured, and King Han's voluntary surrender made Yingzheng lose the perfect excuse to cleanse the Korean nobles. .

And how to deal with these people is undoubtedly a very troublesome thing.

Yingzheng is very clear that in the original historical trajectory, although the Qin State was destroyed by the uprising of the common people, if there were no survivors from the Six Kingdoms to contribute to the flames, Qin State would not necessarily perish.

But if these people are killed because of this, it will undoubtedly make the six countries resist to the end, and once the six countries can really work together and fight to the end, then Qin can only avoid its edge.

Therefore, how to minimize the danger of these nobles in South Korea, and at the same time not make the nobles of the other five countries feel sad, has become a difficult point that Yingzheng cannot avoid when dealing with these nobles.

Before that, there was a more troublesome question: how to deal with the surrendered Korean army?
It is definitely not possible to continue to be detained. The food and grass consumed by 20 million people every day is a very large number. In addition to the 30 million Qin troops stationed in South Korea at this time, this kind of consumption is even after Qin has won South Korea. It is also difficult to make up for the situation.

Korea's hundreds of years of business operations are naturally extremely rich, but South Korea's wealth lies in goods, not food. The small land and relatively large population make South Korea's food has never been rich.

It is natural not to release these Korean troops. If such a huge army chooses to rebel after the main force of the Qin army retreats, it will be a tragedy for Qin, but it cannot be like Bai Qi did in Changping. However, they are already the citizens of Qin State in name, so how can their own country kill their own people.

After much deliberation, Ying Zheng only came up with a reasonable solution: let these prisoners of war build roads.

Qin Chidao is full of legends in another world, and Ying Zheng naturally knows about it.

In Yingzheng's view, it is better to use these prisoners of war to do this than to use the people to build roads after he unifies the world in the future, which will cause resentment from the people of the world.

When Yingzheng told Guiguzi of this intention, the head of the political strategist looked like he had seen a ghost, "How did the king think of this?"

"Let's talk about this later, do you think Chidao's thing is feasible?" Ying Zheng asked.

"It should be possible. Arranging these prisoners of war in this way should be the best way. The time to build the road is enough for the king to completely conquer South Korea. By then, the danger of sending these prisoners of war back to their hometown can be minimized. And Even if they have any complaints at this time, the army is still in Han, enough to suppress all hidden dangers." Guiguzi analyzed.

Hearing Guiguzi's words, Ying Zheng was relieved a lot.

"However, there is one thing that your majesty needs to pay attention to. When these prisoners of war are allowed to build the road, they and their families cannot be treated harshly. Most of these people are the pillars of the family. Without these people, the lives of their families will undoubtedly There are many difficulties, Your Majesty should pay attention to this." Guiguzi warned that there is no perfect solution in the world, only the lesser of the two harms.

"Gu has already taken this into consideration. Sir, you should know that the common people in Korea are short of land now. While cultivating their own fields, most people have to rent and plant some land from rich and powerful merchants and landlords. If Gu orders, let the family members participate The people who built Chidao reported the number of fields they are currently cultivating, established Qin household registration for them, and assigned the land they rented and planted to their names, I think they will be very happy." Yingzheng mused.

Hearing this, Guiguzi couldn't help but gasped. How could he not understand what Yingzheng meant? Yingzheng said so much, but in the final analysis it was just one sentence, to seize the land of the nobles to benefit the common people, but because of this, he Only then did he feel terrified. Land is the most important property in this era. Once this edict is issued, those nobles who hold a large amount of land in their hands will not agree. When that time comes, they will undoubtedly kill a person and bleed.

"Your Majesty, have you ever thought about what will happen if this edict is issued?" Guiguzi tentatively asked.

"It's nothing more than rebellion." Ying Zheng smiled indifferently.

"That way the land of Han will be unstable." Guiguzi persuaded.

"Then kill until you are stable." Ying Zheng was still smiling, very warmly.

But Guiguzi felt very cold, it was not just a few words, but a sea of ​​corpses and blood.

"Your Majesty seems to have made up his mind?" Guiguzi straightened his body.

"If Mister has a better way, Gu is willing to listen to it." Ying Zheng looked directly at Guiguzi and said.

"Forgive me for my lack of knowledge, I can't help the king in this matter." Guiguzi only felt a little cold in his heart.

He was mistaken, he thought that the person in front of him was just a talented, calculating and slightly black-bellied young man, how could he have thought that Ying Zheng's murderous intentions would be so serious, if given time, he might be even worse than Bai Qi before. How brutal.

Is such a person really worthy of his assistance?Guiguzi fell into deep doubts.

"I didn't see Mr. like this when I talked about building Chidao with prisoners of war. How can you say that these nobles have become like this? Could it be that in Mr.'s opinion, prisoners of war can die, but nobles can't?" Ying Zheng asked. road.

"Your Majesty, you should know that these are two different things. Your Majesty's rule is not at the head of Guizhou." Guiguzi persuaded.

"But not those nobles. Sir, you must know that no matter how well I treat those nobles, it is impossible for them to receive the same treatment as when the King of Han was still alive. Maybe I can make them return to their hearts, but it must be full of troubles. You may not be loyal even if you try your best. Why can’t Gu create a group of people who can be loyal to Gu? Should some people go to accompany Sajik in South Korea?"

"Let the old man think about it carefully." Guiguzi struggled.

Although Yingzheng's words are reasonable, they are completely different from the three views cultivated by the education that Guiguzi received since childhood. Some kings of the past dynasties have wooed nobles, and some have reused scholars, but Qianshou?Forget it. Looking at thousands of years of history, Fu said that such people are only rare after all.

Guiguzi got off the carriage in front of the Han Palace with a heavy heart, and Ying Zheng hesitated after returning to the palace.

Could it be that I was wrong?Became a madman ahead of 100 years?
Ying Zheng, who was sitting alone in the hall, sighed for a long time. He thought that Guiguzi would support his approach, but he didn't expect Guiguzi to have such an attitude.

Although Guiguzi is talented and knowledgeable, compared with his predecessors, he lacks the ruthlessness and boldness of taking the people of the world as pawns.

Guiguzi, who returned to his residence, was also worried. He told him emotionally that what Yingzheng did was not wrong, but his rationality told him that once Yingzheng did this, there would be endless troubles.

After all, compared to Guisou's forgetfulness, nobles are more vengeful, and besides, it is those nobles who really hold power in this era.

Gai Nie, who had already prepared dinner, brought the food to Guiguzi, and he couldn't help being very curious when he saw that Guiguzi was out of his mind.

"Master, did something happen at King Qin's place today?"

Guiguzi looked at the disciple in front of him, and after a while, he decided to speak out the conversation with Ying Zheng. At the end, Guiguzi asked, "Teacher, do you think the king of Qin's approach is right?"

"Master, it's still hard for you to tell right from wrong, let alone me. However, Master, I have a question to ask Master. Do you think there are more Qianshou or nobles in this world?" Gai Nie put a bag full of food Asked while delivering the bowl to Guiguzi.

"Do you think King Qin's approach is right?" Guiguzi asked after taking the meal.

"Before seeing the final result, no one knows right or wrong. Even if you are a wise man like you, Master, the King of Qin would know this, so he asked you, Master, to discuss it. That's why he said that he just rented the common people The land planted was assigned to their names when they built Chidao, instead of seizing all the land of the nobles. The King of Qin was also trying to keep things within a controllable range. At that time, even if it was wrong Well, King Qin also has enough ability to make up for it, after all, South Korea is too small, and more than [-] prisoners of war sounds like a lot, but to this world, it is actually nothing." Gai Nie explained.

Guiguzi looked at Gai Nie, and said after a long time: "It seems that you admire King Qin very much."

"Indeed, King Qin is an admirable person." Gai Nie said seriously.

"Why? Because he destroyed South Korea?" Guiguzi asked.

"No, the state of Qin destroyed South Korea. After all, the strength is there. If it were someone else, it might not be impossible, but the king of Qin's vision is not something ordinary people can have." Gai Nie shook his head and said.

"Okay, let's eat first. As for whether King Qin is right or wrong, let time tell."
