Chapter 124 The ancestor of all villains!

"If I remember correctly, it took Zhao Shilang eight years from going to sea to returning..." Right Prime Minister Wang Wan came out of the queue and looked at Zhao Si with a smile.

Zhao Si nodded.

"Eight years! How far is the distance? How can the generals listen to the emperor's orders when they are away? How can the soldiers obey the control when they are away? How can we continue to provide food, grass, soldiers and horses? How much manpower and material resources will be wasted in logistics? Is there anything overseas that is worthy of such a high price for the Qin Dynasty?

?" Wang Wan said with a smile.

If there are young people, there will naturally be mature people. If there are radicals, there will naturally be conservatives.

The main structure of the Young Zhuang Sect is the beneficiaries of middle and low-level military merit and titles, as well as the direct descendants of the beneficiaries of high-level military merit and titles.

The main structure of the Lao Cheng faction is the vested interests with the old aristocratic forces as the core, a group of people who stand at the top of the Qin Dynasty.

The young faction and the mature faction are intertwined. The young faction is currently mainly the beneficiaries of middle and low-level military merits, and the core direct descendants of the mature faction such as Meng Tian are the main ones.

The Laocheng sect is dominated by the Meng family, the Wang family, and the Wang family.

It can be said that there is me in you and you in me. There is no conflict.

Even Li Xin, who originally competed with Wang Jian, was the unquestioned leader of the Shao Zhuang faction, and his father Li Yao was also one of the core representatives of the Lao Cheng faction.

This is because the title of Da Qin cannot be directly inherited.

No one can be promoted to nobility without military merit, and even the children of the royal family cannot hold any position and receive any salary without military merit.

This also means that no matter whether they are big nobles, small nobles or common people, they all have to roll.

Therefore, a special phenomenon will occur.

Regardless of whether they are children of big nobles, small nobles, common people or even slaves, as long as they have gained military merit, they are all born radicals and young men.

When their title reaches a certain level and it is difficult for them to continue to be promoted, they will naturally turn to the old school and want to seek hereditary inheritance of the title.

Wang Jian and Wang Ben, Li Yao and Li Xin, Meng Wu and Meng Tian, ​​these three father and son pairs are all typical.

The old ones are the mature ones, the young ones are the young ones.

The battle against Chu was the final battle for Qin to unify the world, and it was also the most intense confrontation between the mature faction and the young faction.

Li Xin was defeated and fell into a disastrous decline after losing his morale.

Wang Jian led his troops on an expedition, and after conquering Chu, he received no titles or rewards. He stood at the top of the 20th level of military merit in the Qin Dynasty and became the only Chehou.

As a reward for the victor, the title of the Wang family was specially approved to be inherited, so Wang Jian, Wang Ben and Wang Li became the princes of one family and three nobles.

Chehou! That is the pinnacle of the twentieth-level nobility in the Qin Dynasty!

Although Wang Ben had military merits, Meng Tian's contribution was not inferior to Wang Ben's. If it were not for the special inheritance, Wang Ben would have no choice but to stop being a marquis.

Ordinary Hou and Chehou are completely different concepts.

This was considered the first shot at the hereditary title, but the First Emperor did not compromise, so the Wang family became the most special existence in the Qin Dynasty.

Although the mature faction won the victory, the confrontation between the young and mature faction still existed.

In essence, it is a game and struggle between father and son. There is no doubt that after reaching the top position of the young group, when there is no progress, the former core figures of the young group will naturally turn into the mature group.

Wang Wan, as the Right Chancellor of the Qin Dynasty and the most noble being among the three princes, fired the first shot.

And obviously... the young people don't agree with Wang Wan's mature words.

"Isn't it enough to bring back three types of immortal food in eight years?" Meng Yi was the one who spoke.

It was like stepping down personally to speak on behalf of my brother who was not present.

As a result, the young faction and the mature faction began a formal war of words. Of course, there were many taboos between father and son and they would not confront each other directly. For example, Meng Yi refuted Wang Wan, Feng Jie spoke against Meng Yi, and Shusun Tong spoke against Feng Jie

, Li Si opposed Shusun Tong...

In short, you quarrel with my father, and I will quarrel with your father...

There is no need to mention the mature words of the mature faction, but the radical remarks and firepower of the young faction left Zhao Si speechless.

"There is so much fertile land overseas, shouldn't it become the territory of Great Qin?"

"It's difficult to control overseas lands? Then kill all the barbarians and move the people from the Central Plains over!"

"This is wrong. You should be captured and made your concubine!"

The firepower output of the mature faction is simply not as good as that of the young faction. What stands out in the proposal of the young faction is that it is dangerous.

It is said that in anxious situations, he may even initiate personal attacks, and a strange situation will occur as a result.

You offended my father, I hold a grudge, I will offend your father...

Although father and son are not directly facing each other, it is undeniable that this is a war between Laozi and his son. What is even more paradoxical is that Laozi's side loses in a mess...

As the left prime minister, Li Si was quite calm. He didn't speak much because he knew the will of the First Emperor and was also the executor of the First Emperor's will.

As the Right Chancellor, Wang Wan didn't have so many worries. He didn't have that much real power, and he was about to retire at an early age, so he simply put on airs.

Da Qin respected the right. He was old and shameless, which made him really difficult to resist.

"When Shang Jun changed the law, he demolished the big surnames into small surnames and everyone into small families. How can the Prime Minister know?" Shusun Tong stood up and asked.

"Of course I know!" Wang Wan nodded.

"Then your right minister knows that every time Lord Shang divides a family into a family with a surname, the elders will be killed!"

"The fertile land overseas is more than a thousand miles away? The right prime minister's opinions are tantamount to binding one's own hands and feet and blinding one's eyes! Thousands of miles of fertile land overseas, an overseas territory, and tens of thousands of subordinates..."

After finishing a long sentence, Shusun Tong suddenly turned his head and looked at Wang Wan: "We are public servants, and the right Prime Minister is selfish, and his heart can be punished!"

When Wang Wan heard this, she held her breath in her chest. There was even silence in the court for a moment... not everyone dared to criticize the Prime Minister directly.

Zhao Si was secretly speechless... How come you, a Confucian, know so much about Legalism and still learn and apply it...

It was the First Emperor who looked at Shusuntong with a smile on his face.

Shusun Tong, Dr. Daizhao, studied under Chun Yuyue, a leader of contemporary young disciples of Confucianism. However, compared to Chun Yuyue, Shusun Tong was obviously more satisfied with the First Emperor.

However, things eventually went too far, and Shu Suntong's arguments were too exaggerated. The Young Faction and the Old Faction were really fighting over each other. The two factions did not become angry in a day or two. Li Xin even gave Wang Jian to Wang Jian at his peak.

I was forced to electrify myself and go to the field, and then returned to my hometown and became autistic...

Because Wang Jian, the leader of the mature faction, did not go to court and the nuclear bombs were not deployed, the mature faction lost completely.

After all, it was the First Emperor who stood behind the Young Faction, but the essence of this court meeting was maritime affairs. The tit-for-tat confrontation between the Young Faction and the Old Mature Faction was to some extent a deliberate indulgence by the First Emperor.

The mature faction had already completely lost, so Li Si naturally stepped in to end the conversation.

"Your Majesty, I think that Qing Meng's opinion makes sense to a certain extent. However, it is difficult to communicate while wandering overseas, and it is difficult to solve the problem of a long voyage. Therefore, in my opinion..."

In the end, Li Si revealed all the discussed plans.

Develop maritime affairs, but you cannot do it rashly regardless of the cost. When you start investing in shipbuilding, you should focus on offshore places where the voyage time is short and you can focus on attacking overseas Dongyi and occupying offshore territory.

In the distant sea, the main purpose is to establish communication after exploration and not to attack without permission.

At the same time, it was proposed to use Zuofeng as the main preparation for maritime affairs...

Everyone knows that this has been discussed long ago. On the contrary, there is no dispute or discussion here. Everyone tacitly begins to discuss how to clean up the overseas Dongyi, how to build offshore power, how to build sea-going ships, and how to rule overseas.

…

Then the traditional dispute began again, whether overseas counties should be established or enfeoffed...

Because Wang Wan lost all face and Shusun Tong deliberately avoided it, the feudal faction was defeated again.

Zhao Si was dumbfounded when he saw it...

So, a maritime incident turned into a big fight?

First there is the dispute between the mature faction and the young faction.

Later came the dispute between the feudal faction and the county faction.

Everyone seems to be losing their minds, but if you take a closer look, it turns out that there is me among you and you among me.

As for the filthy people?

The people of Qin, who are full of martial virtue, no one cares about the life and death of the dirty people overseas.

The radical Qin people believed that people should be killed on the spot, organized to immigrate, and dig out holes.

The conservatives believe that resources should not be wasted. Da Qin requires a lot of labor to build. They think that they can capture them as slaves and concubines, or use them overseas while ensuring their reproduction, so as to ensure that Da Qin has a continuous supply of tools.

By using it, you can even use foreigners as rewards to the Qin people who are willing to move offshore. As long as you are willing to move here, you can receive agricultural tools to cultivate the land.

In a lonely place overseas, even offshore... no one with a bad mind comes up with suggestions to educate, integrate, and absorb filthy people.

Well, Shu Suntong, who was supposed to be a humble gentleman, had even more incredible suggestions.

He suggested that the castration of dirty people could be organized. Unfortunately, Wang Wan criticized this suggestion in person because Da Qin's castration technology was too immature and the death rate was too high.

"Looking at it this way, the triangular trade is really not dirty..."

"Is this... my ancestor who was full of martial virtue?"

To be honest, Zhao Si has been hesitating whether he should propose trading agricultural tools, but his ancestors got even more awesome.

Either the country is subjugated and the species is exterminated, or the species is raised, exploited and reproduced...

Zhao Si suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have anything to propose?

Moreover, Zhao Si was also keenly aware that the court of Great Qin was full of hostility!

Violent indeed!

The fights Zhao Si saw were essentially the fights between fathers and sons, teachers and students, and sects that were deliberately instigated by the Qin kings of the past dynasties!

"The bad thing is...it really doesn't border with Daqin..."

Zhao Si shook his head and sighed with emotion... As long as it borders the Qin Dynasty and has the basis for direct rule, the ancestors will not do such a trick.
