Chapter 247 Debate
After all, Qin Shihuang has the final say on Daqin, and no one has the right to interfere.

In addition, Qin Shihuang also had a hobby, and that was war.

Infrastructure costs enough money, and war costs even more.

If it is said that infrastructure is only mobilized by the people, then money and soldiers must be mobilized together, which can be said to be a multiplier effect, so war is the most expensive.

This is not without precedent in history. According to historical records, during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, although after the rule of Wenjing, the treasury of the Han Dynasty was already quite abundant. The treasury reached the highest in history after the Warring States Period. Affordable without farming.

However, in the later period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the national treasury was empty, and there was almost no food in the granaries.

But we must know that the productivity of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had reached the peak level at that time, and even so, it had become such a level that it could not make ends meet. It is enough to see how much money and food was consumed by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's successive wars against the Huns.

And the Great Qin they were in before didn't have it, so how could they be better.

Qin Shihuang launched wars against the six countries year after year, so there was almost nothing left in the Xianyang treasury. However, after unifying the six countries, Qin Shihuang still liked to use military force to make the Daqin treasury, which was not wealthy, almost an empty shell.

At this time, Fusu explained: "It is impossible not to be frugal. Our emperor has been building the Great Wall and launching wars in the past two years. It's very empty, so if we are princes, we can save some, don't we?"

Fusu smiled slightly.

His smile was slightly helpless.

"Oh? Is that really true?"

Ying Yu then smiled and said: "But how did I hear that Big Brother Xiongnu is doing his best to support this expedition, and winter is approaching at this time, it is said that launching a war against the Huns at this time is comparable to Zhongxia's war against the Middle East." More manpower and material resources are needed, can it be said that Big Brother really has the heart to watch our subjects suffer?"

After Ying Yu finished speaking, he picked up a bowl of kumiss from the table and couldn't say anything, and at this time Fusu also picked up a bowl of wine.

It's just that his hands were trembling slightly and he quickly put down the wine after drinking. If the same problem was put before, then the pay might be to keep silent, because he didn't want to conflict with others.

But just a few days ago, he was determined to fight for the big position, because only in this way can he be the contemporary spokesperson of all people in the world, and now he has no turning back.

Only by constantly moving forward can he fulfill the great wish in his heart. Even if some people are sacrificed now, he must take care of the interests of most people.

After Fu Su paused for a long time, he looked at Ying Yu and said, "Mengzi once said that you can't have both, you have to choose one or the other and sacrifice your life for righteousness. There is only one way to sacrifice your life for rebellion. Brother, you know."

Ying Yu smiled after listening.

And Fusu was a little puzzled seeing Yingyu, but Fusu almost vomited blood in the next second.

At this time, Ying Yu had already felt Fusu's pulse, and said to his elder brother: "Big brother, you are indeed right. Everything in this world cannot be the best of both worlds. I don't know what you want, big brother. Can you tell my brother?" When it comes to it."

Ying Yu's question was so delicate that Fusu didn't think of the answer all of a sudden. After a moment of silence, he got up from his seat, and then came to the door of the big tent. He put his hands behind his back and looked in the direction of Yunzhong County. .

"Fifth brother, do you know how many people will be needed to build the Great Wall in the south of us? Since the father wants to unify the world, this means that the Great Wall will be longer, and how many subjects and Guizhou The capital will die for it."

"I have been in Yunzhongjun for three years, and almost every year I can see people coming in groups to pay homage to their relatives."

When he said this, Fusu lowered his head, then turned his face sideways thinking about Ying Yu and continued: "In the past ten years in Daqin, it was not only about building the Great Wall, it was as simple as collecting corvee and military service, there were many subjects such as taxes, expenses, etc. and floods, how many people were killed or injured, do you ever know?"

"Furthermore, father's Afang Palace, his mausoleum, and the six kingdoms' palaces on Lishan Mountain all need money and people. I think you and I know this best. Furthermore, the wars in the west and east of Daqin did not happen at all. Stopped, how much food will this cost?"

"You must not know how many people died, and there is no way to count the number of deaths in some Guizhou heads. Fifth brother, you have lived in the palace all year round, how can you know the sufferings of these grassroots people?"

Fusu spoke, a little sad, with a worried look on his face, but Ying Yu's expression was different from Fusu's, he didn't show any emotional changes on his face, what Fusu said was indeed true, Qin Dynasty almost used It took more than ten years to consume its Guozuo.

Therefore, after the Han Dynasty succeeded Qin and took control of the state power, it was so tight with the Xiongnu's war that it made many unequal peace treaties. In the end, it took six generations of power to really dare to wipe out the main force of the Xiongnu. .

And when the Qin Dynasty conquered the Xiongnu in the north, it also conquered the Donghu in the east, and the forces of the Dayue clan in the north, east and even west of the Qin Dynasty, and they did so one after another at the same time.

This seems to fully demonstrate that the Qin Dynasty was really strong at that time.

If there were three powerful enemies appearing in other dynasties at the same time, it would be hard enough to win one of them at the border. However, the Qin Dynasty fought against three powerful enemies at the same time. How long will the person chase.

In addition, in terms of infrastructure projects, the Lishan Palace will not say whether it was burned by Xiang Yu, but it is known from the records that its splendor far exceeds that of any dynasty.

Although the productivity was limited at that time, Qin Shihuang still used all the skilled craftsmen from all over the country to build the Lishan Mausoleum, which itself reflects the amazing mobilization ability of Daqin.

It is said that the Lishan Palace was burned down for three months. You can imagine how many palaces there are, and the magnificence of the palaces recorded in history even surpassed that of the later Tang Dynasty and even the Qing Dynasty.

However, the Lishan palace complex and the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang are all projects that cost the life of the country, so naturally there is nothing to praise.

So Fusu said that it was reasonable for his father to build these mausoleums regardless of the suffering of the common people.

But the fortifications and water conservancy facilities he launched were not useless.

Only after thousands of years did people discover that the Great Wall and Zheng Guoqu's receipts have affected future generations. After thousands of years, not only did they not bring suffering to future generations, but they also benefited them.

Before Yingyu came to the Qin Dynasty, he always heard that Yingzheng was a famous tyrant in Chinese history. Even though he founded the Qin Dynasty and established the feudal emperor's road, the fact that he was a tyrant is enough to obliterate all his achievements .
