Chapter 28 Never Been Kind
After all, the matter of Zi Nu can only be regarded as a small episode. Even if Ying Zheng intends to make Zi Nu one of the leaders of the future, it is impossible for him to invest too much energy in her.
South Korea was destroyed too easily. Except for Liu Yi's troops being annihilated by Wang Jian, the Korean army was not damaged. The voluntary surrender of the King of Korea made Ying Zheng lose the excellent excuse to purge the Korean nobles.
How to treat these people is undoubtedly a very troublesome thing.
Ying Zheng knew very well that in the original historical trajectory, although Qin State was destroyed by the uprising of the people, if there were no surviving tribes of the six countries in it, Qin State might not have been destroyed.
But if all these people were killed, it would undoubtedly cause the six countries to resist to the end. Once the six countries can really work together and fight to the end, then Qin can only avoid its edge.
Therefore, how to minimize the dangers of these nobles in South Korea and not make the nobles of other five countries feel sad that the rabbit dies and foxes are sad, became a difficult point that Ying Zheng could not avoid when dealing with these nobles.
Before this, there was a more troublesome question: How should the surrendered South Korean army deal with it?
It is definitely not possible to continue to be detained. The food and grass consumed by 100,000 people every day is a very huge number. With the addition of the 200,000 to 300,000 Qin troops stationed in South Korea at this time, such consumption is difficult to make up even if the Qin State has taken over South Korea.
South Korea has naturally been extremely rich for hundreds of years of operation, but South Korea's wealth lies in wealth rather than food. The small territory and relatively large population have never made South Korea's food rich.
It is natural that it is not enough to redeem these Korean troops. If such a huge army chooses to rebel after the main force of the Qin army retreats, then Qin will be tragic, but it cannot be like Bai Qi's usual behavior in Chang. After all, although these people are not convinced, they are nominally the people of Qin, so how can their own country kill their people?
After thinking about it, Ying Zheng only came up with a way that was still acceptable: let these prisoners of war build roads.
Qin Chidao is full of legends in another world, so Ying Zheng naturally knew it.
In Ying Zheng's view, if he would use these prisoners of war to do this after he unified the world in the future, and would cause resentment from the world, it would be better to use these prisoners of war to do this.
When Ying Zheng told Guiguzi this intention, the head of the Zongheng family looked like he saw a ghost, "How did the king think of these?"
"I'll talk about these things later. I think Chidao's things are feasible?" Ying Zheng asked.
"It should be possible. Arrange these prisoners of war in this way should be the best way. The time to build the road is enough to allow the king to completely conquer South Korea. By then, the risk will be minimized. And even if they have any complaints at this time, the army is still in South Korea, which is enough to suppress all hidden dangers." Guiguzi analyzed.
Ying Zheng felt much more relieved when he heard Guiguzi's words.
"However, the king has one thing to pay attention to. When these prisoners of war are built, they cannot treat them harshly. They also have their families. Most of them are the pillars of the family. Without these people, their families will undoubtedly have much more difficulties in their lives. The king should pay attention to this." Guiguzi warned that there is no perfect way in the world, only two things can be taken as minor.
"I have considered this. Mr. should know that the Korean people are generally short of land now. While most people are ploughing their own fields, they also have to rent some land from the powerful and wealthy merchant landlords. If they order the people in their family who are involved in the construction of the road to report the number of land they are now cultivated, establish a Qin household registration for them, and transfer the land they rented into their names. I think they will be very happy." Ying Zheng pondered.
Guiguzi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this. How could he not understand what Ying Zheng meant? Ying Zheng said so much, but in the final analysis it was just one sentence: to seize the land of the nobles to help the people. But because of this, he felt frightened. Field was the most important property of this era. Once this edict was issued, how could those nobles who had a large amount of land in their hands agree? When that time really came, they would undoubtedly kill a river of blood.
"Have you ever thought about what would happen if this edict was issued?" Guiguzi tentatively said.
"It's nothing more than rebellion." Ying Zheng smiled a little indifferent.
"That would be really unstable." Guiguzi advised.
"Then let's fight until it's stable." Ying Zheng was still laughing, smiling warmly.
But Guiguzi felt very cold. It was not just a few words, but a sea of corpses and blood.
"The king seems to have made up his mind?" Guiguzi straightened his body.
"If sir can have a better solution, I am willing to listen." Ying Zheng looked directly at Guiguzi and said.
"I'm sorry that I'm a little bit too little and can't help the king in this matter." Guiguzi felt a little cold.
After seeing it, he thought that the only one in front of him was a talented, deep-scheming boy, who was a little bit dark-hearted, but he would never have thought that Ying Zheng's intention to kill would be so strong. If it were time, he would probably be a little more cruel than Bai Qi.
Is such a person really worthy of his assistance? Guiguzi fell into deep suspicion.
"When I talk about the construction of the road with prisoners of war, I didn't see the gentleman with such a look. Why did these nobles become like this? In the opinion of the gentleman, if prisoners of war can die, the nobles cannot die?" Ying Zheng asked.
"King, you should know that these are two different things. The foundation of the king's rule is not in Guizhou." Guiguzi persuaded.
"But it is not among those nobles. Sir, you must know that no matter how well I treat those nobles, it is impossible for them to get the treatment of the King of Korea when they are still there. Perhaps the orphans can make them return home, but it must be full of trouble. If they have tried their best, they may not be loyal to them. Why can't orphans create another group of people who can be loyal to them? It is much easier to get the loyalty of the head of Guizhou than to recruit those nobles. Moreover, since South Korea has been destroyed, shouldn't some people accompany the country in South Korea?"
"I'm Rong, think about it carefully." Guiguzi said in a tangled manner.
Although Ying Zheng's words make some sense, they are completely different from the three views cultivated by Guiguzi's education since childhood. There are kings of all dynasties who have won over nobles and those who value scholars. But the head of Guizhou? Then forget it. Looking at the thousands of years of history, Fu said that such people are only rare after all.
Guiguzi got off the carriage in front of the Han Palace with great worries, and Ying Zheng was also hesitant after returning to the palace.
Are you wrong? Being a madman who has become a leader for a hundred years?
Ying Zheng, who was sitting alone in the hall, sighed long. He thought Guiguzi would support his approach, but he didn't expect Guiguzi to have such an attitude.
Although Guiguzi has a lofty talent, compared with his predecessors, he has less ruthlessness and courage to use the people of the world as chess pieces.
Guiguzi, who returned to his residence, was also worried. He told him emotionally that Ying Zheng’s approach was not wrong, but reason told him that once Ying Zheng did this, there would be endless troubles.
After all, compared to the forgetfulness of the Qianshou, the nobles were more revengeful. Moreover, those who truly grasped the power in this era were the nobles.
When Gai Nie, who had already prepared dinner, delivered the meal to Guiguzi, he was very curious when he saw Guiguzi's despair.
"Is there something happened to the Master with the King of Qin today?"
Guiguzi looked at the disciple in front of him, thought for a while and then told him the conversation with Ying Zheng. At the end, Guiguzi asked, "Do you think the King of Qin's approach is right?"
"Master, it's hard to tell whether it's right or wrong, let alone me. However, Master, I have a question to ask Master, do you think there are many Guizhou leaders or nobles in this world?" Gai Nie asked while delivering a bowl full of food to Guiguzi.
"Do you think the Qin King's approach is right?" Guiguzi asked after taking the meal.
"Before seeing the final result, no one knows right or wrong. Even a wise man like you, I think the King of Qin knows this, so he asked Master for discussion. So he said that the land rented by the people was only classified under their names when they built the road, rather than seizing all the land of the nobles. The King of Qin was also tempted and wanted to grasp the matter within a controllable range. At that time, even if it was wrong, the King of Qin would have enough ability to make up for it. After all, South Korea is too small, and more than 100,000 prisoners of war sounded a lot, but it was actually nothing to the world." Gai Nie explained.
Guiguzi looked at Gai Nie and said after a long time: "It seems that you admire King Qin very much."
"It's true, the King of Qin is a person worthy of admiration." Gai Nie said seriously.
"Why? Because he destroyed South Korea?" Guiguzi asked.
"No, Qin State destroyed Han. After all, the strength was there. If it were someone else, it might not be impossible. However, the Qin King's mind and courage were not something that ordinary people could have." Gai Nie shook his head and said.
"Okay, have a meal first. As for whether the King of Qin is right or wrong, let time prove it."
