Chapter 645: The Possibility of the Great Qin Dynasty’s Autumn for All Generations
But Zhao Lang was confused by the cheap dad's meaningless words and asked,
"what why?"
Qin Shihuang looked at Zhao Lang and asked with some seriousness,
"How can one potato a day fill the stomach? But even so, why did they build my imperial mausoleum for me without any labor?"
Hearing this, Zhao Lang immediately relaxed.
"That's it. What do you think the kid thinks?"
"But, Dad, you are wrong about one thing."
Qin Shihuang asked extremely seriously,
"Where is wrong?"
Zhao Lang chuckled, but did not answer directly, but asked,
"Dad, do you remember what he said when you met them yesterday? Who is he building the imperial tomb for?"
Qin Shihuang thought about it carefully and then said,
"To build the imperial mausoleum, it is naturally for me."
Zhao Lang shook his head and continued,
"Dad, think about it again."
Qin Shihuang frowned slightly. To be honest, he really didn't pay much attention to these details. Letting the other party get in the car was just a reward for what he had done in the court before.
That envelope was just a request for the construction of the Lishan Imperial Tomb.
Where would you put your thoughts on these two common people?
If it weren't for the fact that the other party only ate one potato a day and had to rush to build an imperial tomb for him, he wouldn't be so concerned.
Seeing Zhao Lang pretending to be mysterious, Qin Shihuang snorted coldly, raised his hand directly to strike, and said,
"It seems I beat you less when I was a kid! It's not too late to beat you down now!"
Zhao Lang's expression changed and he quickly replied,
"Dad, they are not just for you, they are also for their own family!"
"His son died in the battle and was naturally buried in Lishan Mountain!"
Hearing this, Qin Shihuang was startled. He remembered,
The old farmer indeed said that he was building a residence for his son!
"It turns out it's for myself."
Qin Shi Huang's eyes were slightly disappointed, and then he said,
"Well, this is in line with the nature of these people. They are selfish and have no vision. A little profit can seduce them."
Hearing this, Zhao Lang couldn't help curling his lips, but he didn't say much.
"Dad, you're fine then. My son will go deal with government affairs."
Qin Shihuang naturally noticed Zhao Lang's little move and said immediately,
"What, what dad said is wrong?"
Zhao Lang wanted to say, you are right, just fool him.
But looking at his father's slightly raised hand, Zhao Lang chose to follow his heart and said directly,
"Dad, is there anything wrong with people doing things based on their own interests?"
"Who in this world doesn't? It's instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages!"
"As for what you said, the people have no foresight. This is true. But Dad, try growing up hungry. You didn't have the opportunity to go to school when you were a teenager. You have to work hard to make a living as an adult."
“With such a lifetime, where is the time to cultivate foresight?”
Qin Shihuang was silent for a moment.
Zhao Lang continued at this time,
"Moreover, interests are divided into right and wrong, big and small, and there are more than just interests in this world."
"The old farmer would rather go hungry than build the imperial mausoleum because of his love for his son!"
"As for you, what is your purpose in conquering the six countries and unifying the world?"
"Is it just for your own personal benefit and enjoyment?"
Hearing this, Qin Shihuang shook his head slightly and said,
"of course not."
"If you are just greedy for your own enjoyment, even if Qin is a little poorer, there is still no problem in supporting my enjoyment."
"I and the previous kings are here for this world! For the great Qin Dynasty for thousands of generations! For the eternal inheritance of my royal family!"
He calls himself the First Emperor because he wants to pass on the Qin Dynasty from generation to generation to eternity!
Zhao Lang nodded and continued,
"To put it bluntly, isn't it also for the benefit of Great Qin and the royal family?"
Qin Shihuang nodded. These words were a bit unpleasant to hear. He always felt like a businessman, but he made a good point.
Seeing his father nodding, Zhao Lang's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning, and he continued,
"But dad, it's actually very difficult for a country to truly last for generations to come."
"Zhou is only eight hundred years old."
Qin Shihuang frowned slightly when he heard this.
Although what Zhao Lang said was unpleasant, he also knew that it was the truth.
Just as he was about to say something, he heard Zhao Lang continue,
"But, dad, there is actually a way. I can't guarantee that the Qin Dynasty will last forever, but there is still no problem in creating a thousand-year dynasty."
Qin Shihuang was moved when he heard this. Although he still thought about the Qin Dynasty for thousands of generations, it was not impossible to establish a thousand-year dynasty first.
So he asked,
"any solution?"
The smile on Zhao Lang's face became even brighter and he replied,
"The solution lies in what I just said."
Without being too pretentious, Zhao Lang continued,
"The method is difficult to say, but easy to say."
"It is to combine the interests of Great Qin, the interests of the royal family and the interests of the people!"
Hearing this, Qin Shihuang frowned slightly.
Da Qin and the royal family are superior, how can they combine the interests of these people?
Zhao Lang will not give his father time to think too much. This seed must be planted deeply now!
"Father, you see, the Great Qin Dynasty wants long-term peace and stability, and the royal family wants to be passed down for eternity, right?"
Qin Shihuang nodded.
"The same goes for the common people. They also hope for long-term peace and order in the world and for them to live peacefully."
"There is no conflict between the interests of Da Qin, the royal family, and the common people."
Qin Shihuang nodded again.
But he soon realized something was wrong, and seemed to have overlooked something.
Because if it was so easy, then there should have been no turmoil in the country since the Xia Dynasty.
Qin Shihuang thought for a moment and asked,
"Then where do you put those ministers and nobles?"
Zhao Lang grinned and did not respond directly, but said,
"Dad, after this time, you have also seen the power of the people. The number of people will only increase in the future. As long as we stand with the majority of people, the thousand-year inheritance of Great Qin can be guaranteed!"
Of course Zhao Lang knew that the change of dynasty was not such a simple matter.
Productivity levels, social relations, and economic development are all closely linked.
But now he just wants to fool his father.
Qin Shihuang came to his senses slightly and said,
"Humph, if you do this, you can maintain it for a while, but in just a few hundred years, the dynasty will probably experience a crisis!"
Rich families are not fools!
When the dynasty cannot satisfy them, they don't mind changing to another dynasty and royal family, and they even say that they can do it themselves.
Zhao Lang showed a smile and replied,
"Dad, if one day really comes, our royal family can take the people and do it again!"
"As long as the majority of the people continue to support us, it will only be a matter of time before we start over again!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Shihuang was suddenly startled.
Zhao Lang's words opened a new door for him.
He seemed to see that even when the dynasty changed, the Great Qin royal family once again established a new Great Qin with the support of many people!
The cycle goes on and on!
The possibility of Great Qin's eternal life seems to be just around the corner!
However, he still felt that something was wrong.
Zhao Lang said again at this time,
"Dad, my people in Da Qin are the best people in the world."
"Having them is a blessing to my country, Great Qin, and a blessing to my royal family."
"If we are good to them, the rewards we will get in return will be unimaginable!"
Facing Zhao Lang's words, Qin Shihuang waved his hand and said,
"Dad knows. You go ahead and do your work first. Dad will think about it later."
Zhao Lang didn't say much. Anyway, he didn't want to change his father's mind just once.
If it were really that easy, then he wouldn't be the determined Qin Shi Huangdi!
This time I just seized the opportunity to give Dad an idea.
Through what happened last time, he also realized his shortcomings.
Even with his military exploits, his reputation is still quite high.
But compared with these ministers and nobles who control the real power of the Qin Dynasty.
There is not much advantage in government affairs.
Before his own people fully grow up and take control of the local area and the court, if he wants to make Da Qin listen to his words, he still needs his father's support for his policies that benefit the people.
Zhao Lang left quickly, and Qin Shihuang also fell into deep thought.
Until evening, the carriage team suddenly stopped. Qin Shihuang looked outside and saw a magnificent mountain.
At the foot of the mountain is a large-scale construction site.
On the construction site, some civilian workers can be vaguely seen.
This is the Lishan Imperial Tomb.
Qin Shihuang looked at the place where he would rest forever with a complicated expression.
At this time, the old farmer came over with his young son, saluted and said,
"Thank you, sir. We are already here, so we won't disturb you."
Qin Shihuang didn't say much, just nodded.
Dad couldn't let go of his wealth. Zhao Lang, who was standing by him, didn't have these burdens. He returned the greeting with a bit of solemnity and said,
"Thank you too."
The other party's son died fighting for Da Qin, so he certainly deserves this thank you.
The old farmer was slightly stunned. He didn't know what the noble man thanked him for.
Without staying long, he took his young son and left.
He was in a hurry to build a cemetery for his eldest son.
But when the younger son left, he turned around and waved to Zhao Lang with a smile.
Last night, Zhao Lang secretly stuffed a bag of food for him.
He opened it and saw that it was full of dried meat!
Enough for them to eat for a long time.
After the old farmer left, Qin Shi Huang said,
"Call the officials here."
Although Lishan has stopped working, there are still officials taking care of it.
Soon, an official ran over in a hurry,
"I've met Shangguan!"
The official saluted.
This time Qin Shihuang did not speak, Zhao Gao quickly said,
"You have to take good care of the father and son who just entered. If anything goes wrong, you are the only one to ask!"
"Yes! Sir!"
The officials agreed repeatedly.
After Zhao Gao had finished explaining, Qin Shihuang asked calmly,
"How many civilians are there in Lishan now?"
Although I don't know the identity of Qin Shihuang, no one can be deceived by his imposing manner.
Anyway, his status is higher than his.
The official replied quickly,
"Now the Lishan Imperial Tomb has been stopped for a long time, and there are no civilians left."
"The people on the construction site came here voluntarily. There are about two hundred people, and they are still growing."
"This matter has also been reported."
There is no comparison between the more than two hundred people and the hundreds of thousands of civilians before.
But Qin Shihuang felt that the weight of these two hundred people was heavier than the hundreds of thousands of civilians!
After pondering for a while, Qin Shihuang quickly said,
"All the people who come here must be taken care of."
At this time, the official gritted his teeth and said,
"Please ask the superior officer to issue a warrant so that we can deal with the subsequent inspection."
Zhao Gao was about to give the warrant, but he did not expect that Qin Shi Huang directly took out his private seal and covered it with a piece of silk.
Then he walked out and said calmly,
"No matter who checks it, you show him this is it."
After saying that, he took the people with him and turned around to leave.
No matter who these people were building the tomb for in private, they were building it for him after all, and they naturally had to be protected by him personally.
As Zhao Lang said, as long as their actual interests are the same, why bother dividing them so finely?
The official took it with some confusion. He also wanted to see where these people came from after seeing the seals on the silk.
There was a sound.
The official sat down on the ground obediently.
After spending another night in the wild, the convoy headed towards Xianyang early the next morning.
It was still evening and we arrived at the gate of Xianyang City.
As the motorcade was about to enter the city, a fast horse ran over. It seemed that there was an urgent message. After a handover, an attendant headed towards Zhao Lang's carriage.
When Qin Shihuang was a little confused, Zhao Lang hurriedly came to him.
"Dad, please go back to the palace first. I have something to do and I have to go back to Heming Academy."
Qin Shihuang frowned and said,
"But what's the emergency?"
Zhao Lang got on his horse at this time and said,
"It was quite urgent, but the kid handled it well!"
As he said that, he headed towards the school, muttering from time to time,
"Scumbag, finally come back!"
Looking at Zhao Lang and his people walking away in an instant, Qin Shihuang couldn't help but say,
"Why are you so frizzy all of a sudden?"
Zhao Gao on the side smiled and said,
"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince is not young now. It's time for us to get married. Once we have a family, this irritable temper will naturally change."
Qin Shihuang nodded and said,
"That's right, please keep an eye on it and let Lang'er know when the time comes."
Zhao Lang had dementia before, so he had no children.
After recovering from the dementia, he has been running around again. Now that he has settled down, he naturally wants to have more children.
Zhao Gao naturally responded with a smile.
Then the group of people headed towards the palace.
At this time, Zhao Lang was running all the way. He had just received news from the peasant family that the peasant saint had arrived at the college and invited him to meet him tomorrow!
Zhao Lang exploded when he received the news. How could this matter wait until tomorrow?
This scumbag must be taught a lesson this time!
It was already dark when we arrived at the school.
After asking for Ji Wushuang's location, Zhao Lang rushed to a courtyard inside the academy.
Opening the door directly and going in, he saw Ji Wushuang sitting in the yard.
Ji Wushuang saw Zhao Lang showing a look of surprise, stood up and said,
"Alang, you're here!"
How could Zhao Lang be polite at this time? He directly picked up Ji Wushuang and said,
"Now we can finally take revenge for you, right?"
Hearing this, Ji Wushuang turned slightly red and said,
"Alang, I came back this time because I want to tell you something."
"I brought it to you..."
Zhao Lang stopped the other party directly and said,
"If it's not an emergency, it's not too late to talk tomorrow!"
"It's important to help you avenge and resolve your hatred first!"
After saying that, without giving Ji Wushuang any chance to resist, Zhao Lang led people directly into the room.
There is a saying,
Since ancient times, there has been so much passion and hatred, and this hatred lasts forever.
That's exactly what it is like to hate investing in a stock.
