Qingji was a person who enjoyed himself, so he specially built a special sauna room in the Jinling Palace.

At first, Qingji didn't know the principle, so he had thousands of hot iron blocks thrown into the water to generate a lot of steam. He led his concubines to jump into the steam pool and play.

Later, the method of sauna bathing was gradually improved.

In a special wooden house, unique rocks are grilled on a hot stove until the temperature reaches above 70°C, and then a small amount of water is poured on the rocks to produce impactful steam...

The specific cooling or heating is done manually.

At this time, Qing Ji and Fan Li took off their clothes, wearing only a plain white towel, and entered the steamy palace room.

There were also a group of maidens who came to serve me.

There are beauties with all kinds of skin colors, including white, yellow, black, and brown. They have also undergone professional training and are dressed very coolly.

Don’t look at anything that’s inappropriate, don’t look at anything that’s inappropriate.

Fan Li hurriedly lowered his head.

"Your Majesty, why are there even dark-skinned women here? Your Majesty, your taste is really unusual."

Qingji smiled slightly and said, "It's the same even if you turn off the lights."

"Your Majesty, are you having an affair with a black woman?"

"Is there a problem?"

"this……"

Fan Li couldn't help frowning and said: "Your Majesty, something is indeed wrong. With all due respect, how can I, the prince of Wu, have dark skin?"

"This is outrageous. I heard that anyone who has an affair with a dark-skinned barbarian will give birth to children with the same skin color, which is difficult to change."

"Your Majesty, please be careful."

Qing Ji smiled and said: "Young uncle, I know, so I will never leave Long Zhong behind with a black girl."

"That's good."

Only then did Fan Li feel relieved.

Immediately, Qingji and Fan Li entered the bath.

Qingji enjoyed lying on the lap of a fair-skinned beauty and letting another fair-skinned and beautiful girl massage and massage him...

Fan Li did not dare to do this, even if it was Qing Ji's instruction, he would not dare to act recklessly.

Being able to take a bath with Qingji was already a great honor for Fan Li. How could he dare to be so "unbridled" in front of Qingji?

"Comfortable."

Fan Li couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief and enjoyed it very much.

Qingji waved his hand and asked all the ladies who were waiting for him to retreat. Then he glanced at Fan Li and asked: "Young uncle, I plan to set up twenty palaces on the territory of the original Achaemenid Dynasty."

The feudal kingdom."

"Of course, there is still something undecided. I would like to hear your opinion."

"Some ministers have suggested that I move the common people from the empire to settle in the west. Do you think it is feasible?"

Fan Li's eyes wandered for a moment, and then he asked: "Your Majesty, do you want to hear the truth or lies?"

"Of course it's the truth."

"If I were to tell you the truth, I think it would be inappropriate."

"What's the reason?"

"There are now more than 40 million Li people in the empire. However, there are also many foreigners in the overseas areas of the empire. Your Majesty, do you want to relocate the people? How many people will you need to relocate?"

Fan Li sighed and said: "With different skin colors, different cultures, different beliefs, and different living habits, the Wu people are too different from the other foreign races. It is impossible for your Majesty to assimilate them in a short period of time."

"If millions of Li common people are moved out, I am afraid that it will be a drop in the bucket and will not help the situation. A considerable number of these millions of Li common people may be assimilated by those foreign races. Isn't this counterproductive?"

"If Your Majesty moves one-third or even half of the Li people out, the land will be empty and become a truly vast and sparsely populated place. The empire will be severely weakened immediately, and foreign tribes will take advantage of it."

"This is the path to destruction, and it is even more undesirable."

Hearing this, Qingji sighed and said, "Yes. What I am most worried about is the consequences of this."

"If Wu people mix with foreigners from other countries, the consequences may be disastrous."

"But if I don't do this and strive to assimilate those foreigners, after my death, I'm afraid that this huge empire will fall apart immediately, and the achievements I have created may also disappear and become ashes of the past..."

Qingji can be said to be "sober in the world" on this matter.

As early as the beginning of the creation of the country by the princes, Qingji tried his best to encourage some domestic scholars to serve as ministers in various vassal kingdoms, and to move their families.

Although I am far away from my hometown, I can at least find an official position, and maybe become a minister of a country. This temptation is not ordinary.

At the same time, in order to prevent the nobles in the vassal kingdom from rebelling, Qingji tried his best to teach the princes who were about to establish a feudal state to know how to adopt a gentle policy and win over the nobles from various places for his own use.

Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings.

Qing Ji's painstaking efforts and solitary achievements have already shown the utmost benevolence and justice to the princes.

If a rebellion still breaks out in the vassal kingdom where they are located, and they cannot suppress it themselves, they can only count on the nearby vassal kingdoms to help them, and Wu Zhang and Wu Fan who are stationed in the west to send troops to rescue them.

At this time, after knowing Qingji's thoughts, Fan Li thought for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, actually sometimes soft knives are easier to use than hard knives."

"Your Majesty should know that an empire established through military conquest alone will be difficult to maintain without strong governance and measures."

"Not only are the foreign tribes in the conquered countries often trying to regain their independence, but even the vassal kings that have been entrusted by your Majesty will often wait for opportunities to seek separatist independence."

"Your Majesty, you are wise and powerful. After unifying the world, you still have the same writing and the same language, and unified the currency, weights and measures. This is the most effective weapon."

"This is a soft knife that kills people without blood."

"If the languages, characters, currencies, weights and measures, and even cultural customs of the people in the world are the same, the roads are connected, and the cultures are similar, even if your Majesty tens of thousands of years later, and the times change, it will surely be able to lay a good foundation for the successors.

"

Fan Li said it was easy, but even he himself didn't understand how to operate it.

Chicken feathers all over the place!

Qingji also knew that such a soft knife was indeed effective.

But, where to start?

All beginnings are hard.

In the past, Wu State wiped out Qin, Qi, Song, Yan and other countries. It was not difficult to manage because everyone recognized that they were part of China, had similar cultures, and generally spoke the same language.

Those foreigners are different.

Fan Li also knew that this matter was too difficult, so he once again advised Qingji: "Your Majesty, in ancient times, there were three major tribal alliances: Huangdi, Yandi, and Chiyou, and now they are all under one roof."

"It has been more than two thousand years since the Battle of Zhulu. Your Majesty cannot afford to wait, but Your Majesty should look to future generations."

"I believe that the descendants of my great Wu family, the descendants of the Wu clan, will definitely strive to fulfill the long-cherished wish of your Majesty and I."

Hearing this, Qingji smiled and said, "Young uncle, it has to be you."
