Chapter three hundred and eighty fifth immigration
Lu Buwei was very angry about Zhang Tang's sudden escape to Qin State.
Qin State spent a lot of energy to make Zhang Tang firmly positioned as the Prime Minister, and even let him directly interfere in Yan State's internal affairs. However, Zhang Tang obviously failed all this. Lu Buwei looked at Zhang Tang in front of him coldly, "In other words, you gave up your business in Yan State with the evidence that the prince killed his father and fled directly?"
Zhang Tang could feel Lu Buwei's anger, and he knew in his heart that if he could not give a reasonable explanation, he would probably not be able to save his head. Zhang Tang bowed again and said helplessly: "Please forgive me for your crimes... The ministers of Yan State have a bad relationship with me. They are willing to obey Dan's orders, and I cannot mobilize the army... Since Dan can kill his father, of course he can kill me. I have no way to deal with it, so I left Yan State."
"Can the regicide matter be arranged in one or two days? Ju Wu made friends with warriors from all over the world, and Prince Dan conspired with him many times. What are you doing at this time? Why not protect King Yan? Why not expose Dan's conspiracy?" Lu Buwei was even more angry when he heard Zhang Tang's defense. Zhang Tang hurriedly said: "I got information before. Dan wanted to assassinate me. I have been waiting for the opportunity. As long as he attacked me, I will immediately catch him and completely get rid of them."
"Ju Wu found the King of Yan and asked him to go to Wuzhong to watch the fish... I knew about this. I thought they wanted to transfer the King of Yan and then deal with me. I was ready and waited for them to take action. I really didn't expect that their target was not me, but King of Yan. I didn't expect that Dan would dare to kill his father!" Zhang Tang trembled all over. At the beginning, after hearing that the King of Yan was assassinated, he was so scared that he ran away.
The main reason is that what Dan did was so scary, the evil man who killed his father... What else could he not do?
Lu Buwei stared at Zhang Tang, thought for a long time, shook his head, and said, "You can go back."
Zhang Tang stood up tremblingly and bowed to Lu Buwei again, then left the Prime Minister's Mansion. After seeing Zhang Tang off, Lu Buwei called his confidant Li Si over. Over the years, Li Si has been helping Lu Buwei with work because Lu Buwei was busy sorting out his works. Many times, state affairs were handled by Li Si. This favorite disciple of Xunzi did not disappoint Lu Buwei, and he could stand alone.
Although Lu Buwei didn't want to admit it, he knew in his heart that he was getting older day by day. Many times, his thoughts became confused, his mind was blank and he was at a loss. However, the young man Li Si could make many suggestions that convince him... Lu Buwei was no longer as good as before, but he still wanted to hold on for a while. Seeing that the dawn of the world was right in front of him, he could not give up this position to others.
Assisting the king to realize a wise minister in the world, this is a bonus to the aura of saints that Lu Buwei wants to create.
"Ah... I shouldn't have sent Zhang Tang to Yan State. I should have changed someone to take on such a heavy responsibility. Zhang Tang hurriedly fled back to Yan State. All my deployments in Yan State failed..." Lu Buwei sighed, but Li Si was particularly calm. He said: "You don't have to do this... Yan State itself is a weak country. Even if Dan is a wise king like King Zhaoxiang, even if he has a virtuous prime minister like you, he is not a threat from Qin State at all."
"What's more, Dan kills his father, this is a very serious crime. As long as it can be spread, the wise men in the world will not dare to submit to him. The ministers of Yan State will be rebellious... What can Dan do alone?"
"What you said makes sense. I want to attack Yan State. What do you think?"
"Prime Minister, a woodcutter walked on the mountain road with an axe. There was a tied tiger in front of him, grinning at the woodcutter, trying to break free from the bondage, and behind him was a sheep with horns. The woodcutter did not take advantage of the tiger to kill him, but wanted to turn around to deal with the sheep. This was wrong. Zhao State has many household registrations and the soldiers were brave. If they did not take advantage of the opportunity to destroy it, it would sooner or later be a threat from Qin State."
"And even if Dan has been governed for twenty years, it may not be able to reach the current level of Zhao. Why did you give up Zhao and want to attack Yan?"
Lu Buwei nodded and agreed not to attack Yan State for the time being.
Soon, the matter was known to the King of Qin. Ying Zheng widened his eyes. He could not believe that Dan had the courage to do such a thing. However, he didn't care. Yan State, which had been defeated repeatedly, had nothing to worry about. Compared with Yan State, Ying Zheng is now more concerned about the affairs of the counties outside the pass. Han and Wei State added a lot of counties to Qin State.
However, it is not easy for Qin to completely control these counties. The first thing to do is to promote the law is a very difficult thing. Qin relies on the law to govern the country. The people of Qin live a completely different life from the people of other countries. The people of Wei were able to visit each other freely in the past, but after Qin occupied this place, wandering for no reason was a crime and being arrested. When the Wei people saw it, they felt that the Qin people were deliberately making things difficult for them.
After all, this is to impose the lifestyle of Qin on the Han and Wei people, so this change has succeeded. If they want to let them know how to live next, what can be done and what can not be done, they need enough pavilion leaders. However, on the one hand, the Qin State does not have enough grassroots officials, and on the other hand, it is a language barrier. The officials sent from Qin State only know Qin language and elegant language.
The people at the bottom do not know how to speak elegantly. How do grassroots officials communicate with them? How to popularize the law? How to do things?
Therefore, Li Si's previous proposal to use local people to govern the local people was really perfect. Unlike later dynasties, the central government had a strong control over the local area and could reach the minimum control. At this moment, there were no powerful people, no gentry, no one could compete with the king for local control, and no one dared to do this... and maintaining such control requires a lot of Qin officials.
The ministers were all worried. While Zhao Kuo came to visit his grandson in the palace, Ying Zheng took him to the hall and asked him about this matter.
"Although school rooms are being set up everywhere, it will take at least more than a year to wait until they complete their studies and become officials..." Ying Zheng said, and asked again: "Is there any way to get enough officials in a short period of time?" Zhao Kuo pondered for a moment before saying: "In various parts of Qin State, if there are few officials in counties, can't the assessment be set up? As long as you pass the legal question and answer, you can serve as an official? Why not implement it in various places?"
"If this is the case... I'm afraid..." Ying Zheng did not say it clearly, but Zhao Kuo still understood what he meant, mainly because he was afraid that these people were not loyal enough. If a large number of people summoned Wei to become officials of Qin, he was afraid that those who were interested would collude with them and carry out conspiracies that were unfavorable to Qin...such as inciting local people and distorting Qin's policies... Zhao Kuo shook his head with a smile.
"Han Fei is right. If you want everyone in the world to regard yourself as Qin people, then you have to treat them as your own people. You can't be as guarding against thieves every day... There may be many people in the country who want to restore the country... But as long as the system is perfect and the people live a peaceful life, these people will not find an opportunity to take advantage of... First of all, Qin has a formed supervision system, from the grassroots to counties..."
"This is not only to supervise whether the officials are doing their duty, but also to supervise officials with ulterior motives... to ensure that they cannot inspire the people. In addition, if the people live a wealthy life, they will not follow the restored country to cause trouble..." Zhao Kuo suddenly thought of something, and he said: "The Qin State has now taken away all the aristocrats from various countries' homes, right?"
"That's right, isn't this what you proposed? Use their property to reward the soldiers who have made contributions."
"Since that's the case, it's better to migrate... either the people who migrate to the places, or the nobles who migrate to these places, the former powerful and rangers, the Wei Kingdom, and the Han Kingdom can migrate to Guanzhong... the Zhao Kingdom can migrate to Nanjun..." Zhao Kuo said, Ying Zheng's eyes lit up, he nodded and said: "Most of those who want to restore the country are the original nobles. Those who are dissatisfied with the Qin State's policies and want to return to the past... as long as these people are migrating out, a lot of unrest can be reduced."
"Then, you can recruit local wise men to participate in the Law Q&A, and give official positions through them to enrich the number of officials..." Ying Zheng said to himself: "Let these grassroots officials popularize the law and popularize your thoughts of a family in the world... Eliminate the influence of the homeland and make them sure that they are Qin people..." Ying Zheng laughed and said, "Father, let them do what you said."
"You don't know that the ministers in China are now a little anxious... I can't wait to attack Zhao State."
"But before completely controlling the counties and counties of the Wei State in South Korea, I would never attack Zhao State... Now it will cost a lot to manage these places. Only by turning them into part of Qin State and digesting the harvest of these lands can Qin State continue to go on expedition... What do you think?"
"Well, if you eat too fast, you'll choke... you still have to chew bites."
Then, Ying Zheng summoned the ministers and began a migration policy. This migration was to migrate the victims of the Qin policy to other places and cut off their influence in the local area. When Ying Zheng proposed this policy, Lu Buwei was very surprised, and then the ministers agreed. The administrative efficiency of Qin was very high. As soon as an order was issued in Xianyang, all regions had already started to take action.
The original nobles were also unlucky. Their property and assets were taken away were enough to make them sad. Now they could not even stay in their hometown and were forced to leave their homes and go to a strange place. This led to defection in various places. Unfortunately, they could not escape the soldiers of Qin. They were forcibly taken away from here. For a moment, the old nobles from all over the country cried, lowered their heads, and walked towards the unknown destination step by step.
Zheng County, Cheng Qi has been here for a while. Because of teaching Zhang Liang, he gradually fell in love with this kind of teaching and educating life. He served as a sacrificial wine in the school room of Zheng County and taught local students the horse uniforms... He also often visited Zhang Liang, and Zhang Liang learned things very quickly. Sometimes, Cheng Qi had to write a letter to ask Zhao Kuo before he could answer the questions he asked.
On this day, as soon as he arrived at the door of Zhang Liang's house, he saw a group of soldiers standing here, shouting something loudly. Cheng Qi frowned and walked up. Seeing Cheng Qi, especially his head crown, these soldiers did not dare to make loud noises and bowed to him. Cheng Qi looked at the situation in the courtyard. Zhang Liang and his mother were packing up their things. Cheng Qi asked in surprise: "What are the two and three sons trying to do?"
"We are executing the king's orders... The king has orders, so nobles, rangers, and their families must leave their homeland." The leader said in a low voice. Cheng Qi was stunned. Just as he was about to speak, Zhang Liang and his mother walked out of the courtyard. The eyes of the two were red, obviously they had just cried. Seeing Cheng Qi, Xiao Zhang Liang wanted to rush forward, but his mother grabbed his shoulder and refused to let him go.
Cheng Qiong walked up and stood in front of them. He lowered his head and looked at Zhang Liang in front of him, frowned.
"This family has a relative to me, can they stay?"
Cheng Qi asked, and the soldier in charge shook his head and said, "This is the order of the king, no one can disobey it." Cheng Qi sighed and looked at Zhang Liang again. During these days, he had been with the little guy and was reluctant to part with him... But in the face of the order of the King of Qin, he could do nothing. Zhang Liang did not cry. He wiped off the tears on his face and bowed deeply to Cheng Qi.
"Thank you for your care during this period of time, and I will definitely repay your kindness."
Before Cheng Qi could even say goodbye to them, his soldiers had already taken them away. In order to prevent these old nobles from gathering together again, they had to disperse and go to different county towns. When they go to the territory of the old Qin people, they would probably not be able to return to their hometown in their lives and could not make any waves... This is the best way to deal with the nobles of the six countries, throw them into the old Qin people and let the old Qin people overwhelm them.
Cheng Qi looked blankly at the soldiers taking Zhang Liang and his mother on the carriage and left immediately. Until they disappeared from afar, Zhang Liang did not look back at him. Cheng Qi just sighed, he had been in Zheng County for a long time, and perhaps he should go back. These restorers left their hometown helplessly with hatred for the Qin people. On the land of the old Qin people, they never had the chance to restore the country or realize their ambitions.
The migration process was not so smooth. Many elderly people died on the road, and some young people took out their hidden weapons to fight against the Qin soldiers.
There are crying everywhere on the road leading to the inner gate.
But Zhao Kuo did not regret it, because the war on restoring the country would kill more people.
