Chapter 43 Liu Bang's Overall View and Calculations
"Your Highness, a divine thing, a divine thing!" Liu Bang ran all the way in excitedly. Even if anyone told him that Zhao Wen was not blessed by a god, he would not believe it.
Divine objects with yields of tens of thousands of kilograms per acre can appear. This is no longer the blessing of the gods, this is simply the gods themselves descending to earth!
After hearing what Liu Bang said eagerly, Lu Fei covered her mouth in shock. Her family also owned land, so she naturally knew what tens of thousands of kilograms per mu was. Thinking that such a treasure was brought by His Highness, she looked at Zhao
There was unconcealable love flowing in Wen's eyes.
Melons have the highest yield. Zhao Wen had known this for a long time, so he was not too surprised by the news, but he directly rejected Liu Bang's subsequent proposal.
"No need!" Zhao Wen shook his head very directly and said: "What Da Qin lacks most now is population. Hiding the news about Pumpkin can certainly enhance the strength of Jiujiang County and deify me among the people of Jiujiang, but it will
Delay the development of the Qin Empire!"
"I know what you are worried about. It's just that after the empire has a lot of food, Your Majesty doesn't need a capable prince at all. No matter who is able to be the emperor, it will be detrimental to me!"
The biggest problem of the Qin Empire now is that the people of the six countries are dissatisfied, but enough food can suppress everything. When they are full, no one will rebel.
The spread of pumpkin, a grain that yields tens of thousands of kilograms per acre, can deify Zhao Wen, the twentieth son of the emperor, but at the same time suppress all the problems of the Qin Empire, which will instead reduce the First Emperor's ability to control the second generation of the Qin Dynasty.
dependence.
But this is what Zhao Wen doesn't care about the least. He just wants to increase the population of various places in Da Qin.
With Zhao Wen's current strength, even if he directly raises the flag to rebel, he is probably very likely to succeed. He is doing so many things now just to deepen the First Emperor's impression of his ability in the mind of the First Emperor.
Anyway, Lao Qin still has more than ten years to live, and he is impatient. He wants to do hundreds of thousands of years of things in his hands at once. But in this era, everything Lao Qin wants to do requires a lot of time.
Human lives go to pile up.
As long as he can successfully inherit the throne, Zhao Wen will definitely support Lao Qin in completing more major projects while he is still alive, so that he can fully enjoy his achievements when he succeeds to the throne.
"But Your Highness..." Liu Bang said with hesitation. As long as there is a food crisis, Zhao Wen is the best candidate to succeed. But now, after His Highness has solved the food crisis, the possibility of the eldest prince succeeding has greatly increased.
, how willing he was.
"I heard that His Highness studied Confucianism!"
His Highness is unwilling. As a minister, he naturally has to comply with his superiors' wishes. Moreover, having more food is a good thing for the country and the people. However, it affects His Highness's succession to the throne. Liu Bang feels that he should find a way to make up for this matter.
possible impacts.
"Fan Yushi once said that regarding the captives from the six countries, what Confucianism is best at is hypocrisy. I plan to encourage some corrupt Confucians to seek refuge with the eldest prince, and let the eldest prince save these people's lives!"
Over the years, Liu Bang had some idea of the character of the First Emperor. He was generous, far-sighted, and even somewhat benevolent. He was by no means as cruel as rumored.
But even in the atmosphere, he absolutely cannot tolerate that the successor he is optimistic about is a waste.
Now His Highness does not have to do anything while staying in the capital of Qin, and naturally he will not make any mistakes, and there will be many people promoting His Highness's reputation.
Regarding the fact that the First Emperor enslaved all the prisoners of war from the six countries to death, Liu Bang absolutely agreed. With so much free labor, he could also build some big projects. The most important thing was that all the resentment was concentrated on the nobles of the six countries. After all, these people were not
Recruited by Da Qin.
If His Highness raises objections to such a matter, at least it will leave a mark in the heart of the First Emperor as one who is ignorant and generally has no foresight.
It is even very possible that in order to train His Highness, he will be released and asked to do some things.
Naturally, there will be no mistakes if you don't do something. Once His Highness is released, and he can suggest some things through the rotten scholars who have taken refuge in His Highness, Liu Bang is absolutely sure that His Highness will become a complete waste in the heart of the First Emperor.
.
Looking at Zhao Wen expectantly, what Liu Bang is most worried about right now is that if His Highness pays too much attention to brotherhood, it would be the best if His Highness continues to stay in the capital of Qin to build his reputation like this.
Bad things.
But he was plotting against his Highness' brother, but he could never make the decision without permission. He had to report it to His Highness. Liu Bang bowed his head and saluted, feeling full of anxiety, fearing that if His Highness did not agree, he would be passive in the future.
After a while, still no sound was heard. Liu Bang raised his head slightly and found that there was no one in front of him. His Highness and the Princess who were in front of him just now had already left.
He saluted His Highness again in the direction of leaving, and then Liu Bang left with a confident look on his face.
His Highness's silence is to allow himself to act freely and give himself the greatest autonomy. If under such circumstances, His Highness, who has been taught by rotten Confucians since he was a child, cannot be extricated from Qin Capital, what kind of face will he have in the future?
Serve as the Shaofu Ling beside His Highness.
"This person has an extremely grand view of the overall situation and is very powerful in calculating people's minds!" Lu Pheasant whispered to Zhao Wen after leaving far away.
This is not because Lu Pheasant wants to interfere in Zhao Wen's government affairs, but Liu Bang was just a pavilion chief before. Although he was responsible for intelligence after following Zhao Wen, he did not have specific responsibility for government affairs. He should not have much knowledge about the affairs of the DPRK.
.
But his calculation actually included His Majesty the Emperor's reaction. From this alone, he could know the opponent's overall view and the horror of his calculation ability.
With such people around, if you are not careful, sometimes you will die without even knowing how!
"It's okay, he is not responsible for specific government and military affairs!" Zhao Wen looked indifferent. No one knows better than him whether Liu Bang is powerful. He only started a rebellion in his forties, and he actually unified the world in a few years. Throughout history,
There are few who are stronger than Liu Bang.
Unless Zhao Wen's strength is raised to the level where one person can suppress a country in the future, such a person will have no choice but to stay by his side as a general manager. At most, he will be a high-ranking Shaofu Ling who doesn't know how to deal with foreign ministers.
However, Liu Bang's reaction just now made Zhao Wen know one thing, that is, Liu Bang has completely surrendered to him, and he plans everything from his own perspective. For this reason, he is even willing to plot against Fusu and the First Emperor!
