The first thousand and fifty-seven chapters are divided into counties and counties
"Nangong!"
"Why do you say that?"
Lu Zhenlang's expression became more and more solemn.
Nangong's words were extremely pessimistic, and he was already preparing for the worst. It was already Qin's plan to decide where to go after all the countries in Shandong were destroyed one by one.
"The Yan State cannot sustain itself for two years!"
"The same is true for Wei State."
"If so..., three years later, eight out of ten times, Qin will go south to attack Chu. King Qin Yingzheng will not give Chu more time, but Qi will not have to worry about it."
"Three years is too short, unless you give Chu State more than ten years!"
Chu Nan Gong's expression remained the same as before. He didn't appear to be too sad or solemn. The world was like this, and all they could do was accept and cope with it.
In the Kingdom of Chu, the great commander-in-chief Xiang Yan was reorganizing his troops and horses, and the king of Chu was responsible for reorganizing the government. He wanted to take power into his own hands, but the old people would not agree.
That is the problem of Chu State!
It is also the weakness of Chu State!
For hundreds of years, Chu State has always been a big and powerful country, but it has been difficult to become a strong and dominant country like Qin State. The old aristocratic families have dragged down Chu State.
They would rather maintain the status quo and maintain their own glory than to lose their own glory and power and leave life and death in the hands of others, even if the Chu Kingdom is destroyed as a result.
For three generations, thousands of vassal states have been warned by their demise one after another, but it is of no use. The word "power" is the most touching word in the world of Zhuxia.
"Ten years of time!"
"It's hard."
Thief Zhi listened quietly to the side and rarely made a sound. Hearing this, he couldn't help but shake his head.
If we say five years, there is still a lot of possibility, as long as all costs are considered.
Ten years have become a bit dreamy.
"Nangong, please teach me?"
Lu Zhenlang took a step closer, cupped his hands and bowed deeply again.
Duke Nan of Chu was a wise man of the Chu State. He was able to ask about this matter, and he must have thought a lot about it.
"Do you think the possibility of Qin Guodong's coming out of the world exceeds the fifth level?"
Duke Nan of Chu held the yin-yang wooden staff and continued to walk around the courtyard at will.
"have!"
Lu Zhenlang had no doubt that after conquering Wei, Lu Zhenlang even thought that it might be possible to reach the seventh level.
"After the Qin Kingdom becomes one, how do you think Qin will govern other countries?"
Duke Nan of Chu nodded.
"The laws of Qin should be passed through all Xia!"
The waves on the road pillow fell down in a nutshell.
"Why Qin Fa?"
Duke Nan of Chu asked again with a smile.
Thousands of people in all Xia speak of Qin's Fa, but above the ninth level, they don't even know what Qin's Fa is, and they just follow what others say.
If the Qin State is indeed unified, then Qin's laws will definitely prevail in all Xia. This is inevitable, but... it is not the answer I hoped for.
"Continue Qin's governance of South Korea and Zhao."
"Divide counties and counties, farm and fight to attract the people, and manage with capable officials!"
"Create a smooth road, an important road, a straight road, to connect all industries!"
"Unify the writings, customs, etiquette, elegance, measurement... of all countries into one unified Qin Dynasty!"
"..."
Lu Zhenlang was naturally no stranger to this. He had also personally visited the Qin State and had a look at the current situation of the Qin State. He naturally had a deep understanding of the Qin Law. That was not a secret.
There are talented and learned people in all countries who know it.
After all, knowing it is one thing, but whether it can be used in your own country is another.
"What do you think of feudal states and divided counties?"
Duke Nan of Chu listened carefully and couldn't help but nod his head. He did not find the wrong person. Lu Zhenlang was a big plan.
“Feudal states and divided counties?”
"This... is a feudal state established by the Three Dynasties. The emperor was in the middle and divided the feudal lords to defend the royal family."
"The emperor used it to issue orders, govern Liuhe, and better control the Xia. This method is to entrust the middle, with the royal family's children guarding important places, and important ministers granting secluded places."
"The emperor only needs to control the lord of the princes to control the Xia!"
Lu Zhenlang didn't understand why Chu Nan Gong asked such a question, and it didn't seem to have anything to do with Zhu Xia's subsequent plans, but... let's talk about it slowly.
"Dividing counties and counties means incorporating the former vassal states into the name of counties and counties. The county governors are dispatched by the central government, as are the county magistrates and county magistrates under them."
"The emperor is in the middle and directly controls the county. The power of the county can further control the Xia. The governor of the county cannot be hereditary. After one term, another person will take over."
"Within the region, the powers held are different. The lords of the vassal states are larger, while the power of counties and counties is smaller, and they are more concentrated in the center."
Lu Zhenlang continued to speak. As he spoke, he couldn't help but think about the connotation of Nangong's question in the back of his mind. When he extended it to the Qin State, he seemed to have thought of something.
"Since the Spring and Autumn Period, all kingdoms have emerged together, and the area of the Xia Dynasty today is much larger than that when the Zhou Dynasty was established."
"The Qin State started from a corner of the country. During the reign of Duke Mu, it expanded westward and merged dozens of countries until it reached the great river. Now, the Qin State has two counties in the west of Hexi, and counties south of the Wei River stretch thousands of miles away."
"The ancestral land of the Chu State is on the shores of Dongting Lake. Over the past hundreds of years, it has expanded to the south to the river and to the east to the East China Sea."
"Since the time of King Wuling, the territory of Zhao State has expanded thousands of miles to the north, and the Yunzhong Hu people's grassland has also been included in it."
"From the time of King Zhao, the State of Yan expanded eastwards to Liaodong and even Jizi Korea."
"At present, although the Qin State has prefectures and counties, the core areas are still in Guanzhong and Longxi. The rest are outside the Guanzhong, in the north, south of the Wei River, and the old Han and Zhao lands are thousands of miles wide."
"Besides, last year Zhao's territory was not all divided into counties, but a new Handan County was established. What do you think?"
Duke Nan of Chu enumerated various things, saying that the Xia's territory now spans three dynasties. If it were to be governed, there should be two strategies available. One is to use counties and counties, and the other is to use feudal states.
What's more, there were not no feudal states in the Qin State. Since the Reform, Wei Yang had a fiefdom in Shangyu, and later Ranghou, Wenxinhou, Yinghou and others also had their own fiefdoms.
"Nangong thinks that King Qin Yingzheng is also hesitant about these two rectification strategies?"
The road pillow and the waves make it clear.
"If that's not the case, the land of Old Han and the land of Zhao have long been divided into various counties."
"The larger the territory, the more difficult it becomes for the king to control it. As expected, the current Qin State only needs to control the Central Plains, Guanzhong, and Bashu, and it is enough to control the Xia."
"As for some remote places, sending people from counties and counties is too remote, and it costs a lot to go back and forth. If King Qin Yingzheng could adopt a feudal state, he would entrust the children of the royal family there."
"It may not be an opportunity."
Feudal states and divided counties each have their own advantages. When it comes to direct control over local areas, natural counties are superior. When it comes to control over the peripheral lands of the Xia, feudal states are superior.
Not only that, the children of the royal family who were enfeoffed are all members of the royal family. Even if there is chaos in the future, it will not matter. After all, it is just the inheritance of the clan for three generations.
Nangong was aware of this, and King Yingzheng of Qin took this into consideration.
"Nangong's intention is that... hundreds of families can survive from now on?"
Within the counties and counties to which the Qin State belongs, the Qin State's sweeping power is extremely strong, but within the Shandong states, this is not the case. Of course, the Shandong states are loose.
More importantly, the strategies adopted by the Shandong states were different from those of the Qin state. In a land with great power and great wealth, it was difficult for even the monarch to intervene, and hundreds of families could be secure within it.
"It may not be possible."
"Convince King Yingzheng of Qin to adopt the feudal state, and then the hundreds of families will still have considerable vitality!"
Nangong smiled softly.
"This shouldn't be easy."
"In my spare time, I also heard the great master say that in Qin's policy, the king's power is supreme. This is even more true in "Han Feizi". Sure enough, a feudal state does not divide the power of the king of Qin?"
Thieves Zhi touched his head with one hand. He didn't understand those things well, but he still understood the concept of power. It would be difficult to give away things that belong to him.
Just like when you steal something, it is absolutely impossible to get those rich people to give it to you willingly.
"The land of Old Han, even if it is divided into counties and counties, is it really like the counties and counties in the Qin Kingdom?"
"The same is true within Zhao Di."
"The war has lasted for hundreds of years, and the foundations within the countries are not easy to break. If you push it hard, there will be great resistance. If you push it slowly, with gentle methods, you will have a great chance."
"The envoy from Yan State surrendered, and the King of Qin accepted it, which shows that Ying Zheng's tender heart is clear!"
The matter was not as simple as what the Mohist leader Tao Zhi beside Lu Zhenlang said. Yingzheng's hesitation in dividing the counties was also due to the strength of those old lands.
If it is strong, the resistance in those places will be great, making it difficult for Qin's law to be implemented quickly.
Huairou, slowly trying to control it, just like how he treated Yiqu Country in the past, he has completely controlled it for decades.
Sure enough, if there are talented and learned people who persuade Ying Zheng to adopt the wishes of the feudal state, then hundreds of families will still have enough opportunities to maneuver, and the states will have enough remaining strength to find a way out.
This is the worst plan, and this is also the preparation for the worst plan.
If you don’t want to plan things in advance, you will have nothing to plan for.
"……."
"If you want to persuade the King of Qin to win the government, you must have someone who is close to him. At present, the power of the hundreds of families in Xianyang is weak, so it is difficult to do so. Can Nan Gong recommend it?"
"If you are of use to the Mohists, you will not refuse!"
