() These thoughts of Wei Zhe are not just random thoughts. In fact, in the end, the Qin State was in chaos. In addition to violent conquests and extortion, there was no reason why the Qin State unified the currency and writing after unifying the world, but did not unify the people of the world. Wei Zhe
I served King Zhaoxiang of Qin at that time and I knew the thoughts of the kings of Qin. Even the short-lived Ying Chu built the Lanchi Palace. As a result, the common people of Qin were recruited as civilian husbands and their fields were abandoned to build the palace.
, not only is it unfavorable for Qin's farming, I'm afraid it will also cause dissatisfaction in the long run. It's okay for the Qin people to get used to it. If other countries are unified in the future, Ying Zheng will have such a sign, and he will also inherit the great joyful achievements passed down from his ancestors.
Will the unified people be forced to rebel in the future? ..
When he thought of this, Wei Zhe quickly twisted up his skirt and walked out of the queue, knelt down with an outrageous look on his face, and said loudly: "This is not appropriate for your Majesty! I can't bear to eat your salary and be loyal to my Majesty."
This move is inappropriate but I won't say anything. Your Majesty, please think twice and listen to me one by one!" After he finished speaking, he pressed his forehead heavily to the ground.
A smile appeared on the corner of Ying Zheng's mouth, and he looked helpless, but in his heart he was very satisfied with Wei Zhe's outspokenness. Only when he truly thought about Qin, would Wei Zhe express his opinions in a hurry. Therefore, he
He was not in a hurry to tell his plans, he just opened his mouth and motioned for Wei Zhe to speak first.
"When the first king of Qin was in power, he loved to build palaces, but in my opinion, this is really inappropriate. Not only is it useless for the people's livelihood, but if kings from other countries are invited to live in Xianyang, it is really just raising tigers and causing trouble!" Wei Zhe saw that Ying
At this time, Zheng opened his mouth to let himself speak, which proved that he was not determined to have his own way. Maybe there was still room for change. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't help but feel more satisfied and excited that Ying Zheng could listen to other people's opinions.
He said: "I think that although the Qin State has strong soldiers and horses, there is no shortage of armor and weapons, and the soldiers are abundant, the Qin Dynasty now has an army of 500,000, which is not inferior to the glory of King Zhao in the past. This is really the merit of the king." Wei Zhe entered the officialdom.
I have been an internal affairs officer for a long time. I have become more artistic in my speech. I know that I always have to polish it a bit before I say unpleasant words. I wrapped these unpleasant words in sugar-coating and took pictures of Ying Zheng first.
Just a flattery. When I looked up, I saw Ying Zheng smiling but not smiling. I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. But I didn't want to give up this opportunity, so I quickly said: ..
"Your Majesty, please know that if you have enough food, your troops and horses will be strong. If your weapons and armor are superior to those of other countries, but if your soldiers cannot have enough to eat, then no matter how powerful the weapons are, if there are no people to use them, they will be of no use. Your Majesty.
I believe that food is the most important thing. Mr. Gongsun Yang had this vision in the past, so he encouraged farming. Your Majesty should focus on agriculture and suppress commerce. Otherwise, you will put the cart before the horse and destroy the Great Wall. I beg your Majesty to think twice before acting.
You must not conscript the people to build a post station!" After Wei Zhe finished speaking, he kowtowed deeply. He said these words from the bottom of his heart. Corporal Ying Zheng treated him with all kinds of courtesy. He could see that
It can be concluded that Ying Zheng is indeed sincere, and he is also an accomplished king. Not to mention benevolent and virtuous, although his temperament is slightly ruthless, his reason is enough to suppress this. Wei Zhe can predict this from Ying Zheng
Qin could unify the world that had been divided for hundreds of years.
No matter from every aspect, he was loyal and devoted, and he wanted to assist Ying Zheng to achieve great things. Now that he saw that he was eager to carry out large-scale construction projects, he became very anxious and ignored all efforts to give advice, fearing that Ying Zheng would go his own way.
It was a big mistake. Wei Zhe thought for a while, fearing that his speech alone would not be enough, so he quickly winked at Yu Liao. Since Yu Liao entered the Qin Dynasty, he has become a close minister of Ying Zheng. Among the ministers, Wei Zhe's age is the highest.
Although he is not as good as Yu Liao, he is also the oldest, so the two of them usually have a good relationship. Seeing him speak now, Yu Liao smiled and shook his head at him. When Wei Zhe saw the look in his eyes, he was heartbroken.
It was a bit elusive, but it was obvious that he had no intention of saying anything, and suspicion suddenly arose in his heart.
Yu Liao was from Guigu, but now he served as an official in the Qin Dynasty and was worshiped as a minister. I am afraid that his determination to help Yingzheng unify the world is even more determined than Wei Zhe's. At this time, he should have seen that it is not a good time to carry out large-scale construction projects, and it is impossible not to do so.
After some persuasion, since he didn't speak, he might have something else going on. Wei Zhe came back to his senses at this moment and looked up at Ying Zheng sitting on the high platform, with a smile on his face and no trace of dissatisfaction or annoyance.
, he suddenly thought of something, and his face paused.
"Wei Gong is devoted to Qin, and Zheng is really grateful." Ying Zheng stepped down in person and helped Wei Che, who was kneeling on the ground in a daze, to stand up. Wei Che didn't dare to ask him to help him, so he quickly let him go and bowed, and then
He stood up with Ying Zheng and sat back down. Just when he was a little uneasy, he heard Ying Zheng say again: "It's just about building a post station. Zheng Zheng has other plans in his mind. If you are here today, why don't you speak out?
I also want to make an idea for Zheng." After he said that, Meng Ao and others even said they didn't dare. No matter how stupid Wei Zhe was at this moment, he knew that he was a little too anxious. Yu Liao, an old fox, might have seen something already, so
Then he stopped, his face stiffened, but when he saw Ying Zheng turned around and walked to the steps again, without going up, he turned around and said:
"The government believes that the roads to other countries in Xianyang are long and blocked, and it is inconvenient for ordinary people and merchants to travel. If a post road is built, it will not only solve the problem of transporting food and grass for soldiers, but also make it convenient for ordinary people and merchants, which can be said to benefit the country and the people." Ying Zheng thought.
This plan suddenly came to mind, but he had been out of the palace twice. The roads in Xianyang City were really unflattering. When he went to Dongyang City, the carriages and horses were bumpy all the way. Many principles were trampled by people and horses.
Cheng, there was no special road at all. No wonder communication was inconvenient at this time, and even transportation was so inconvenient. If you wanted to return to Xianyang from Handan, you had to pass through South Korea. There was no shortcut, so it was convenient to go back and forth.
What a waste of time.
As soon as Ying Zheng said these words, he saw Wei Che frowning but not speaking. He knew that the old man was still a little dissatisfied, but it was just because he didn't refute immediately. Ying Zheng knew very well what he was thinking.
Then he smiled and said again:
"Since the construction of the post station is beneficial to the people, if the people need to use this road in the future, they must go and build it themselves. Businessmen will benefit the most, so they can just provide gold, silk, property and manpower. I wonder if you have any idea about this.
Any objections?" If a highway is built, the benefits will naturally be greater. Not only will it be convenient for the common people to travel, but in addition to being used exclusively for the royal family to transmit messages, the post station can also carry items for the common people, which is equivalent to a modern postman.
At that time, common people only needed to spend a sword coin to hire post personnel for the use of ordinary people. In this way, everyone could benefit. If it is true that the post is not only used by the Qin royal family, I am afraid that once the common people are called on to build roads, everyone will
He can run faster than anyone else.
Wei Zhe did not expect that Ying Zhenghui would suddenly think of this method. He was stunned for a moment and then his head quickly started to spin. If this was really the case, I am afraid that the construction of the road would not only be harmless to the Qin State, but also potentially profitable. By then,
It facilitates the travel of people, and Qin is a big country. If merchants know that it is very convenient to come to Qin, they will probably flock to Qin. Even though merchants have a low status, it is undeniable that merchants are the cornerstone of promoting the prosperity of a country. Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, must have
If there is someone who can support merchants, merchants can be suppressed, but they will never be extinct. If merchants from all over the world come here in the hope of profit, the city of Xianyang will be even more lively than it is now. By then, one profit will lead to hundreds of profits.
These merchants will also bring all kinds of things to Qin. As long as there is gold and silk, what kind of food and clothing cannot be bought and sold? And these merchants will always have to pay taxes when they come and go, so why worry about the national treasury not having money?
Everyone was not stupid. Ying Zheng had already mentioned this, and there was nothing he didn't understand. Wei Zhe seemed to have thought about such a grand occasion in the future. He was so excited that his beard trembled a little, and he quickly said: "Your Majesty.
This plan is very clever. The old minister is short-sighted and does not know that there is such a practice in the inn. If the king's plan can be implemented, Qin will benefit for hundreds of years. In this way, why should Qin be unhappy?" Everyone agreed with his words, but Ying won.
However, Zheng Zheng knew in his heart that if his plan was really implemented, it would not only benefit for hundreds of years, but also benefit endlessly for thousands of years to come. The construction of post roads would be like the road and bridge tolls and post offices collected in previous lives. The common people would benefit from their efforts, and
The Qin State does not need to expend much effort. Not only can it win the hearts of the people, but it can also firmly control the two important arteries of traffic and transportation. In the future, not to mention its prestige, its political power will be more stable. As long as he slowly plans to do so.
, Qin will not be a problem if it flourishes for another hundred years, and there will never be a crisis of death for the second generation!
Yu Liao also thought this method was good. He was old and had traveled a lot. He knew that if Ying Zheng's move was really implemented, the benefits would be more than what Wei Che said.
They knew that Ying Zheng had other plans, but they didn't know that his mind was spinning so fast. This method seemed very simple. As soon as Ying Zheng said it, everyone understood it, but before he mentioned it, everyone had never thought of it.
At first glance, it can only be said that Ying Zheng’s move is indeed beneficial to the country and the people. I am afraid that once the Qin State is announced, the common people who build the post roads will flock to it. After all, if this is under the slogan of doing things for the common people, rather than forcibly recruiting civilians,
Without increasing taxes, if the common people know that this post road can be used by themselves without having to pay for it, and it is not the busy harvest season, the common people will naturally wish they could not contribute.
"Your Majesty, this move will benefit the country and the people for generations to come. The veteran believes that this plan is feasible!" Once Yu Liao expressed his stance, Wei Zhe, who was already extremely excited, quickly followed. Even Meng Ao and his son nodded.
Although they are pure generals, not to mention the economy and other things, they are already very excited just because Ying Zheng said that this move is beneficial to transporting grain and grass. When the two armies are fighting, in addition to equipment and morale, the most important thing is grain and grass.
, Therefore, in the minds of generals, there is also a saying that the troops and horses are not moved, but the food and grass go first. If there is a war between the two countries, Qin's food and grass will be in place early, which is not only beneficial to the soldiers, but also a big kill for attacking the other side's soldiers.
What's more, if there is a crisis, the backup troops can arrive quickly due to the wide and convenient roads, and the benefits are self-evident. (To be continued.)
