Chapter 167 A conspiracy against the family(1/3)
Ying Zheng wanted to cry without tears and regretted it.
But it’s useless to regret it any more. As Wang Ben said, everything was brought to his own fault.
After eased his emotions, Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Kun with a complicated expression and sighed: "Kun'er! Rebellion is not a one-day achievement. Although the Qin Dynasty is worried about internal and external troubles, its strength cannot be underestimated;
So we have to be well prepared!”
"Well, the adoptive father said politely!"
When Zhao Kun heard this, he nodded in agreement.
Ying Zheng glanced at Wang Ben and continued, "The adoptive father asked you, what should we do if we are short of money and food now?"
Wang Ben rolled his eyes in his heart and thought to himself that Your Majesty really knows what to do.
But Ying Zheng didn't think so. He felt that his great Emperor Qin had expressed his rebelliousness. It was a bit unreasonable if Zhao Kun didn't bring some useful information.
But Zhao Kun smiled, then took out a drawing from his arms and slowly opened it.
Ying Zheng and Wang Ben stood up to check it out, and what caught his eye was a map.
At the top of the map, there are three small seal scripts in Pinyang County.
"This...is it you drew?"
Wang Ben asked in surprise.
"Of course! This is the distribution map of the power I drew based on the Pinyang County Chronicles and on-site inspections."
Zhao Kun raised his chin and smiled slightly.
As a professional clothing designer, what is it to draw a map? If you have time, it is not difficult to make a sand table.
Of course, there is no need for sand tables, after all, it is not a marching and war.
However, this map still shocked Wang Ben because Zhao Kun used the linear drawing method to draw out the mountains, rivers, flowing water, cities, rural areas, and directions of Pinyang.
If you march and fight, using this map will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.
As the commander of the first army, Wang Ben naturally understood the value of this map, but compared with the value of the map, he was more curious about the distribution of power that Zhao Kun mentioned.
Ying Zheng was also a little curious about him, but he heard Ying Zheng frown and asked, "Why did my son make this distribution map?"
"Of course, it's to better control Pinyang."
Ying Zheng: “………”
Wang Ben: “………”
"Actually, a few days ago, my foster father asked me how to guide Pinyang. I was a little hiding from my foster father, and only said Wu Cheng, but not anything else. The main reason is that the plan has not been perfect yet."
"Then is perfect now?"
"It's almost done!"
Zhao Kun nodded, then looked at Ying Zheng: "The adoptive father just asked me about money and food, and I can do it together with my plan!"
Ying Zheng's eyelids trembled, and he felt a vague premonition, but driven by curiosity, he couldn't help asking: "How to do it?"
"Even if we get Pinyang from the First Emperor, it is basically impossible to completely control Pinyang, so I plan to have a census!"
“Census?”
When Ying Zheng and Wang Ben heard this, they looked at each other with confusion on their faces.
Zhao Kun smiled and pointed to the map and said, "Look at this, the distribution map of Pinyang's power, in addition to the three major families of Wang, Li, Yan, and Liu, Chen, and Lan, there are more than ten families of Liu, Chen, and Lan;
Although these families are not as powerful as the three major families, their influence is quite large!"
"I think when the First Emperor gave the fiefdom to the Wang family, he should have kept his hand, otherwise how could so many families be crowded in the small Pinyang."
"this……"
Hearing this, Ying Zheng and Wang Ben's faces suddenly became a little unnatural.
After all, it is still embarrassing to be told about the secret that everyone knows.
However, both of them were old fry, so they were only embarrassed for a moment and returned to peace.
"Then your plan has something to do with these families?"
Ying Zheng frowned and asked.
Zhao Kun explained with a smile: "The reason I listed these families is because there may be confidants of the First Emperor."
"Since that's the case, why are you still persistent in taking down Pinyang?"
"Before, I have said that Pinyang is not far from Xianyang and has rich resources. It is easier to take Xianyang here!"
Wang Ben: "So what is the census?"
"The census is to investigate the population, structural division and other situations of Fengyang."
“What’s the point of investigating these?”
Zhao Kun: "In order to have a more comprehensive understanding of Pinyang, we will transform Pinyang!"
Wang Ben: “………”
Ying Zheng: “………”
"Although I don't know who is the confidant of the First Emperor, I am going to kill all of them in the principle of killing a thousand by mistake rather than letting go of one!"
hiss……
Hearing this, Ying Zheng and Wang Ben couldn't help but take a breath.
Good guy!
I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go!
This kid is cruel enough!
"Don't do anything nonsense!"
Ying Zheng quickly dissuaded: "If you kill them, you will definitely alarm the snake. In this way, the First Emperor will never let you go!"
"Yes, young master! Don't be impulsive!"
Wang Ben hurriedly agreed.
Zhao Kun glanced at them and said with some amusement, "Who said I want to kill them?"
"Then you just..."
Ying Zheng was stunned and a little puzzled.
Zhao Kun smiled and waved his hand: "I said I was going to kill them, not to kill people to silence them, but to weaken them."
“Wind?”
Wang Ben narrowed his eyes: "What the young master means is the idea of making money and food on them?"
"good!"
Zhao Kun nodded: "They have accumulated countless wealth and food because of the First Emperor, but they have to act in a low-key manner due to the First Emperor's mission;
But after the death of the First Emperor, the world was in chaos, and they were like rootless duckweeds and needed to find a new backer..."
At this point, he paused and said, "Even if they want to find a new backer, they can't find us!"
"Why is this?"
Wang Ben showed doubts.
Zhao Kun said meaningfully: "Because our goal is the people of the entire Pinyang!"
"They are nobles. Do you think they will be with the people?"
"this……"
Wang Ben was so stupid, but Ying Zheng frowned and asked, "Why are our targets the people of Pinyang?"
Zhao Kun: "I also told my adoptive father before that the power of the masses is very terrible. If we want to control Pinyang, we must create public opinion in Pinyang, and the key to public opinion lies in the people."
Hearing the word "public opinion", Ying Zheng suddenly felt goosebumps.
He understood that Zhao Kun was going to incite the entire people of Pinyang to rebel!
Damn!
If this is the case, it would be a bit scary.
Why can't the remnants of the six kingdoms cause storms? Isn't it just that there are not many people following them?
Qin's law is harsh, and as we all know, one person commits a crime and the whole family is in charge.
Who dares to rebel easily?
But Zhao Kun has mastered Pinyang and Pinyang's laws, isn't it like playing?
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng and Wang Ben looked at each other and asked tentatively: "Are you not afraid of the First Emperor discovering if you do this?"
"Entertainment Father, why do you always like to forget things? Didn't I tell you?"
