Chapter 129 Chapter 129: Meng Yi becomes the "Rhythm Master"
As a king, everyone wants to hold all the power in their own hands, so that they can control a country in their own hands. This is what Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng did, and Meng Yi had always been a close minister of the First Emperor before serving Fusu.
He also really saw that Qin Shihuang increased his prestige in the Qin Dynasty through centralization of power, issued orders and prohibitions, and wiped out the six countries in one fell swoop. Therefore, Meng Yi thought that Fusu could follow the example of the First Emperor and create a powerful Qin State through centralization.
"Meng Yi, I know that you want to increase my power in Da Qin and take the power into your own hands. I am very happy that you can do this. Taking over the power is a good strategy, but in the long run it will cause endless harm.
, let’s not talk about it, let’s talk about Hu Hai. When he was governing Donghai County and other places, it was because he had too much power and everything was based on his knowledge. In the end, he forced the officials to abandon their morals, and Li Si surrendered to me.
Well, it is understandable to say that Hu Hai is arbitrary and authoritarian. If it were not for the example set by the late emperor, would he be like this?"
Meng Yi had never thought about what Fusu said. After hearing what Fusu said, it seemed that this was also the case.
Seeing that Meng Yi did not refute what he said, Fusu continued to explain.
"What goes above and what follows leads to imitation. If I am like the late emperor, then the people in charge of Da Qin after me will follow suit, and this imitation will become more severe. One generation will be more arbitrary and arbitrary. As for the descendants of future generations, how can you and I know?
, I don’t believe that my descendants are all wise people. If there is an emperor like Hu Hai, coupled with the monopoly of power, the destruction of our Qin Dynasty is a small matter, I am afraid that it will cause harm to the people of the world, restrain.
Kingship begins with me."
Meng Yi finally understood Fusu's good intentions, but if Fusu did this, he would add a lot of trouble to himself. A talented and strategic monarch like Fusu would definitely have many major events in his political life. If he encounters
All major matters must be discussed with the ministers and everyone's opinions are discussed. The difficulties involved are unimaginable. Meng Yi's understanding of Fusu also changed with the words Fusu said. Meng Yi admired Fusu.
At the same time, I felt a little more heartbroken for Fusu.
"Young Master, I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of all the people in the world." Meng Yi said and bowed to the ground respectfully.
"Meng Yi, you can't do this." Fusu hurriedly knelt down and helped Meng Yi up.
"My lord, it is a blessing to the common people that you care about them so much. However, this day will be much more difficult for you. I really can't bear it!"
Seeing that Meng Yi understood him, Fusu nodded happily.
Fusu completely disagrees with those who say that in order to maintain the mystery and majesty of the monarch, he should speak only three points and not allow the ministers to talk to each other.
, it is easy to cause one's own mentality to be unbalanced, and a king must not have such an imbalance. When the emperor is angry, millions of people will be killed. In front of Meng Yi and other close ministers, Fusu is willing to reveal himself
’s voice.
"Meng Yi, actually I really don't want to be a hero with great talents and strategies. Do you know that a leader with great talents and strategies will make friends with distant people and conquer those with close friends, and those distant friendships and close enemies are not forged by the blood and tears of ordinary people? But I
I have to do this. In my day, I will do more to save future generations and grandchildren who will work hard and give the world peace for eternity. I will also let the Great Qin civilization become a bright moon that shines on this sky, reflecting
All the places where rivers are connected, all the people in the world will no longer use swords lightly."
This was the first time that Fusu confided his feelings to outsiders, and Meng Yi was fortunate to be the first person to hear the word Da Qin civilization.
From these wishes of Fusu, Meng Yi heard the same heroic spirit as when Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, but a different philosophy of governing the country. This concept was something Meng Yi had never heard of, but it was so
Lively and full of hope.
After a period of time, Meng Yi was no longer a critic in the court, but more like a "rhythm master" who set the rhythm, and this rhythm was often in the direction that was beneficial to Fusu.
One month after his conversation with Fusu, Meng Yi submitted the detailed plan for the establishment of the Daqin state-owned bank account to Fusu, and Fusu proposed it in the court meeting.
Because Meng Yi took the lead, and the establishment of the Daqin ticket number, except for the money and food for the Xianyang general ticket number, which was allocated by Chun Yuheng, the governor of Su Nei, the money and food for the establishment of the sub-ticket numbers in other counties was raised by each county.
It would cost the government treasury money and food, so the resolution on establishing a Daqin national ticket was quickly passed at the court meeting.
In fact, the officials did not understand very well the establishment of Da Qin's national bank account. In an era like Da Qin with a lack of financial awareness, not to mention bank accounts, even the right to build currency was participated by private capital. As for concepts such as bank accounts, there was no such thing.
I have never heard of it, and few people have even thought about it. Even a smart person like Li Si didn’t understand the role of the ticket number for a while.
Li Si agreed to Fusu's establishment of the Daqin national ticket office, all because the establishment of the Daqin national ticket office did not cost the Daqin treasury much, so he reluctantly agreed. Of course, there was also Meng Yi's sincere persuasion.
…
Starting from the annihilation of the Nanyue Kingdom, the Da Qin Medical Center was established, the Da Qin Imperial Academy was expanded, and the four counties in Hexi were vigorously built. It can be said that the national power of the Da Qin was gradually increasing.
On the other hand, although the Xiang family in Jiangdong annexed several counties that originally belonged to Hu Hai, there have been constant rebellions. In addition, the people in these counties had a difficult life, so they had to spend a lot of money and grain to relieve the people here.
