The beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers is only the most superficial thing.
Within..., there are many benefits, many benefits.
If Da Qin wants to have long-term peace and stability, as a monarch, he cannot understand his own land well enough and cannot understand his subjects well enough.
Absolutely not!
A monarch who stays in the palace from birth to ascending the throne will never be a good monarch.
The ancestor of Xiaogong joined the army at a young age. After many years of experience, he observed the shape of the old Qin people and the overall situation of the old Qin people's rivers and mountains, and then he was determined to reform.
The late King Huiwen was expelled from the palace because he offended Qin's laws. After many years of experience, he observed the effectiveness of Qin's rule of law. After he ascended the throne, even though Lord Shang died, Qin's laws were implemented.
The same was true for the late King Zhaoxiang!
…
The First Emperor Ying Zheng believed that he should be like this.
The same should be true for the young master below you.
Among all the Xia lands, the one that wins my heart most is not the land of Guanzhong and Xianyang where I have lived here for a long time, nor is it the land of the Central Plains of the Xia that has been rich for thousands of years.
It is the ancestral land of the old Qin people.
Longxi, the land of the north.
That is where the foundation of the Old Qin people lies, and the true foundation of the Great Qin. From a corner of the land where the Old Qin people raised horses, they dominated and controlled all the Xia.
The people of Lao Qin achieved great success.
And... since Mu Gong came to dominate, the land of Longxi has always been a place directly managed by important ministers and trusted ministers of the royal family.
Paying attention to that place is something that any Qin king would do.
In recent years, the city of Tianshui, the land of Longxi, has gained quite a reputation.
That was the land that he granted to his younger brother. Tianshui City was also newly built, and it was expanding very quickly. Especially, it had vaguely become the core of connecting Hexi, the Western Regions, Guanzhong, and Shandong.
"Tianshui City!"
"The jurisdiction in recent years has indeed been very good. In terms of taxes and taxes, it should be the first among the places in Longxi."
Zhou Qing also smiled.
Tianshui City!
It was a new city that she personally participated in building back then. Qianhong had been there for a long time and was responsible for the initial establishment and structure.
Now it has become a transit place for many chambers of commerce.
It has the largest cargo transportation area on both sides of the river.
It has the most complete road system on both sides of the river, which can lead to Guanzhong, Shujun, Beidi, Hexi, Jiuyuan... any of them.
…
Businessmen from all over the world gather together, and with the support of reasonable rule of law, it is difficult to develop.
"If the prince is a merchant, he should be no less than Tao Zhu!"
The First Emperor Yingzheng was praised.
I know very well what the situation is like in Tianshui City. Judging from the increase in tax revenue, it is much faster than that in Hedong County.
"Mentioning the City of Tianshui."
"Xuan Qing has something to ask for!"
Zhou Qing held the stack of "Shang Jun Shu" in his hand as a gift.
"But it doesn't matter, what do you want from me?"
Ying Zheng smiled and waved his hand.
The emperor's younger brother is so polite that he is afraid of trivial matters.
"Xuanqing wants to seal the land with Tianshui and replace the land of Shushan."
"What do you think, Your Majesty?"
"Although the Tianshui fiefdom is good, for Xuanqing, money is nothing more than foreign objects."
"I practice my Taoism, and Shushan Mountain becomes more peaceful."
Zhou Qing said this, this was something he had thought about earlier, and discussed with Yun Shu and the others, about the fiefdom of heaven and water for him.
It doesn't bring anything.
You don't lack anything.
All that's missing is the last step.
"Shushan!"
"There..., ever since the prince led his troops to conquer Shushan, there have been soldiers guarding it, and it seems to be involved in Yu Yuan's seal or something."
"It seems to be related to Chi You. Has the hidden danger in Shushan been resolved?"
The land of Tianshui replaces the land of Shushan.
The first emperor Yingzheng Danfeng's eyes were slightly surprised, but he was not surprised by the emperor's younger brother's decision. The land of Tianshui was indeed of no use to the emperor's younger brother.
Even letting the emperor's younger brother live in Ba County was of no use.
The emperor's brother doesn't need it.
Shushan!
I still have some impressions of that place. I was assassinated by a Shushan elder in the Qinian Palace.
Shushan should be punished.
The prince led his troops to annihilate them and dispatched soldiers to suppress them. The number of people needed was not many, only one or two thousand, which was nothing.
I agreed.
The purpose of the soldiers is also clearly stated, including the Yu Yuan seal and the like. Anyway, there are strange things in Shushan that need to be rectified.
"That trouble needs to be solved by Emperor Taiyi of the Yin Yang Family. It will not be difficult to solve it within three months."
"If your Majesty agrees, Xuanqing can also send manpower to rectify Shushan as a place for future repairs."
Zhou Qing was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that the emperor still remembered the Yu Yuan seal in Shushan.
"Replace the remote and barbaric place in Shushan with a rich and prosperous place."
"I...Is there any reason why I shouldn't do this?"
"As for the land of Tianshui, it is still the fiefdom of the commanders and princes, and the land of Shushan is nothing."
The first emperor, Ying Zheng, kept laughing, so he naturally agreed to the emperor's brother's request, but... there was no need to change the fiefdom.
In the land of Shu Mountain, there is no way out of the barbaric wilderness, and it really replaces the water in the sky.
Although I understand the intention of the prince and prince.
The ministers may not understand.
"His Majesty!"
Zhou Qing bowed again. Sure enough, granting him a fiefdom would be too showy.
"It doesn't matter."
"The princes and princes of the county are important in compiling custom writing, and they have also contributed to the establishment of the Imperial Academy. They are worthy of a reward!"
"There is no need to discuss this matter again."
"When the official script of the princes and princes is completed, I will bestow upon you a hundred-mile radius of Shushan."
Ying Zheng took a step closer and helped the emperor's younger brother to his feet.
The land under the rule of the Qin Dynasty was tens of thousands of miles away, and a mere corner of the Shushan Mountains, on the map, was not even comparable to a soybean, compared with the important responsibilities of the emperor's younger brother.
Not as far away.
"His Majesty."
"On the day of an audience with a small foreign country as presented by the Dian Ke."
"After half a stick of incense, there will be people from the pagoda who come from the land of peacocks thousands of miles away to see you."
Meng Yi was silent, just listening quietly.
The honor of Wuzhen County Marquis is unparalleled.
For ordinary people to obtain this fiefdom, it is not possible for them to be real princes of Che. However, the fiefdoms obtained by the princes and prefectures are already very large. After hearing your Majesty's wishes, I thought it was not enough.
No wonder, there were rumors in Xianyang that his Majesty was very fond of Chengjiao, Lord of Chang'an. Although Chengjiao was not a marquis, he still had a fiefdom.
The honor and favor are great!
Even so, whenever you look outside the palace, you should approach and bow.
"Those pagoda people from the Peacock Kingdom?"
Zhou Qing was curious and looked at Meng Yi.
Is it the man from Pagoda who I am meeting today?
interesting!
It was such a coincidence that I bumped into him.
"The Land of Peacocks!"
"The people of Pagoda!"
"Well, that's what happened. Yesterday, Dianke also presented a document written by the people of Pagoda. It contains information about the Peacock Kingdom."
"In particular, the famous Dharma protector King Asoka also performed great deeds like me, unifying the princes of that land and returning them to the Kingdom of Peacocks."
"However, King Ashoka is no longer here. Before his death, he still ordered his descendants and the people of Stupa to spread the teachings of the Buddha."
"interesting!"
"The king of the country likes the way of pagoda. He is kind, generous, and does not kill... these things cannot rule the world."
"I have a feeling that this country will not last long!"
The content of that document was very long, and Emperor Yingzheng also took a look at it with interest in his spare time.
I have known about the people of Pagoda for a long time, I have known about them for a long time, and I have no good impression of those people, but yet... they can come to see me.
It's fair to say they understand etiquette.
There is a lot of content in the document, most of which are related to the British Lord Ashoka, the Buddha, the way of the Buddha, and what he hopes for.
King Ashoka liked the way of pagoda, and he was not wrong.
The mistake was that he governed the world based on the philosophy of Buddha.
The way to the pagoda?
What a reason!
The way of mercy?
The way to be generous?
The way not to kill?
The way to forgiveness?
…
To a certain extent, it is consistent with the ideas of Confucianism, Mohism, Farmers, etc., and the paths are the same, so I will not deceive you sincerely.
There is no Legalist way of life!
Ying Zheng immediately concluded.
"According to the information about the pagoda obtained by the Tianshui Chamber of Commerce, among all the sons of King Ashoka, only one of his sons was favored when he built a tower of 84,000 pagodas."
"It is a pity that this man was killed by one of Ashoka's beauties, and his eyes were damaged. Ashoka's grandson succeeded him, but he is still young and may not be able to rule his country."
The Peacock Kingdom did not last long.
After Ashoka, the throne changed very quickly indeed. In the course of time, the last king was openly killed by his ministers.
This point... could not help but make Zhou Qing think about the long history of the past.
This great achievement created by the imperial brother seems to be...
Could it be that one flower blooms with two flowers, both of which are similar?
Shake your head and don't think too much.
Came here by myself.
Those are destined not to happen.
"What a pity!"
The First Emperor Ying Zheng sighed.
"It can be seen that... it is important to establish a complete national political system."
"The feudal lords, the prefectures and counties are integrated, the officials, the county guards, the county magistrates, the rule of law, the writing... everything is too much."
Following the preface, Ying Zheng speaks again.
Perhaps the Kingdom of Peacock is Haotian's warning to himself, to step out of the old path of three generations and embark on a brand new path.
It's difficult.
But you must get out.
"But so."
Zhou Qing nodded deeply.
In this long period of time, Zhou Qing only believes that Brother Huang will do better and will definitely do better.
…
…
"The ordained teacher of the famous Dharma protector."
"Preacher of the Buddha Buddha."
"The Kingdom of the Peacock - Sri Lanka, brought the pagoda disciples to meet His Majesty the First Emperor of Qin."
After half a stick of incense.
In the majestic Xingle Palace, as the ceremonial guests and officials performed the rituals, a group of foreigners in strange clothes entered with bare feet and bare heads.
Leader!
He is an old man wearing a red robe. The three elements of energy, energy and spirit are obviously withered. He has only half-stepped through the mysterious entrance. After all, he has not completely stepped through it.
Entering the temple barefoot, a golden mark on the center of his eyebrows shone brightly, and a sense of compassion emerged in his words. Although his voice was old, it was steady and powerful.
Like the visitors from the Kingdom of Loulan, he is proficient in the elegant dialect of Da Qin and can speak it very well.
Put your hands together and bow deeply.
Afterwards, the people from the pagoda in red robes with bare feet and bald heads also put their hands together and bowed deeply.
"His Majesty."
"This is a gift brought by the pagoda master Rifang from the land of peacocks."
"Dedicated to His Majesty."
Upon seeing this, the dignified guest, who was dressed in regular robes, came forward and bowed. As he raised his hands, a group of waiters brought in several large boxes.
That was a gift from the people of Pagoda.
I have already checked it out, and there is nothing dangerous.
"The gift list is as shown on the left!"
"Five pairs of pagoda treasures and jade!"
"Ten white jade tusks!"
"Hundreds of purple and gold cakes!"
"Two pagoda cloud-patterned carpets!"
"The pestle of the pagoda has five handles!"
"Three handwritten notes left by the Buddha Buddha himself!"
"Ten Notes from the Lord of the Peacock Kingdom!"
"Hundreds of classics on the Way of Buddha!"
"..."
The Dianke listed the items on the gift list one by one. They were all from the Kingdom of Peacock, and they sounded quite fresh.
The value is just not very high.
After finishing the items on the gift list, the guest stepped aside.
"I am very happy that you are willing to come to Xianyang from thousands of miles away."
"I heard that you and others have been in the Western Regions in recent years. Why do you come to Xianyang to see me now?"
The First Emperor Ying Zheng stood up from his throne and looked down at the people in the pagoda.
Barefoot and bald.
The clothes he wore were not like those of Zhu Xia, and they were clearly foreign and elegant. There were twelve people in total, and the leader was the ordained teacher of King Asoka of the Peacock Kingdom.
Even though he was preaching thousands of miles away, his mind was firm.
"His Majesty the First Emperor of Qin."
"We, the preachers, came from the land of the peacock and had a hard journey. Fortunately, we entered the Western Regions and found many small countries, so we were able to preach."
"I heard that in the land of Eastern Cathay, there is a country called Qin that rules over all the Xia. Its country is magnificent and its king is extraordinary. We have come here to pay our respects to you. I think the pagoda is sincere!"
Sri Fang's old voice was slow and his hands were still clasped together.
"oh."
"Really?"
"Then...why do I have the news that you have appeared in Zhuxia in recent years?"
Ying Zheng made a casual remark.
"His Majesty, the First Emperor of Qin, must forgive our sins."
"We, the disciples of the World Honored One, have traveled thousands of miles to foreign countries in order to spread the Word of the World Honored One. All we do is preach the Word."
"We don't want to get involved in the disputes here. It's not what we want."
"If there are those who are not polite to the Qin Dynasty, I hope His Majesty the First Emperor will forgive you."
Sri Lanka bowed deeply.
The person in front of me is His Majesty the First Emperor of Qin!
The monarch of Qin, who had just conquered the Xia with a million-strong army, controlled tens of millions of people.
This place...is very unusual.
The Xianyang Palace here is more than ten times more majestic than the Palace of King Asoka.
Xianyang City is ten times more prosperous than Huashi City.
The people here are very wealthy.
Their clothes are very beautiful.
The text here is very unique.
The rule of Great Qin was also very different from that of the Peacock Kingdom.
…
Everything is different.
But... there is one thing in common, that is, some people like the teachings of Buddha Buddha, enter the office, and communicate with several waiters in the office.
It was a pleasure to talk to him.
The Buddha's principles are the most exquisite principles in heaven and earth. We should ignore all differences in words, elegance, and regions.
The Tao of the Buddha has spread to the Peacock Kingdom.
If so, the way of the Buddha can also be transmitted to the land of Eastern Cathay.
Sri Sri Fang realized that even if he died... he would have no regrets and he would be worthy of King Asoka's great trust.
"Forgive you for waiting?"
"Since knowing is a sin?"
"What's the point of forgiveness?"
"This is not a country of peacocks. There is Qin law in the Qin Dynasty, which is not the way to forgive."
The First Emperor Ying Zheng looked at the leading pagoda house, Li Fang, and knew that he was at fault. In this case, he should admit his guilt.
Rather than asking for forgiveness.
When General Meng Wu attacked Zhao, he almost died at the hands of the people from Futu.
In the land of Longxi, the people of Futu attacked and killed the emperor's younger brother, the prince.
In the Chu region, people from Futu intervened in Da Qin's pursuit.
…
"Silifang would like to ask His Majesty, the First Emperor of Qin, to convict you!"
"When the disciples of Futu entered the land of Eastern Cathay, all they did was preach, but they did not intend to cause trouble. It is our fault."
"Perhaps this is the test that the World Honored One has given us."
"As long as His Majesty the First Emperor of Qin allows us and other people who have traveled thousands of miles to preach here, we will be willing to bear all the blame for it!"
