Chapter 668 Three Sentences to Make a Man Live for Me! This Great Qin Will Perish in Your Hands Sooner or Later!

Lu Buwei didn't quite understand why Ying Zheng thought he was a conservative.

In an era where merchants were despised, could a person who could ascend to the position of prime minister of the Qin Dynasty step by step as a merchant be a conservative?

As a foreigner, Lu Buwei controlled the Qin Dynasty in the years after the death of King Zhuangxiang. Did he rely on concessions and compromises?

In the past, King Zhaoxiang of Qin blatantly destroyed the Western Zhou Principality where the Zhou emperor stayed, but he did not dare to touch the Zhou emperor at all, let alone the Zhou royal family's sacrifices.

But Lu Buwei dared!

In the year when King Zhuangxiang ascended the throne, Lu Buwei rolled up his sleeves and led his troops to destroy the Eastern Zhou Principality, captured the Dai emperor, Eastern Zhou Huiwenjun, and completely ended the Zhou Dynasty's sacrifices!

Even if King Zhaoxiang were reborn, he would have to praise Lu Buwei: What a brave man!

Such a person is actually a conservative in the eyes of Ying Zheng?

Perhaps, it was a decree from Ying Zheng that made Lü Buwei leave the court sadly, giving Ying Zheng too much psychological hint.

Or perhaps, Lü Buwei was indeed just a conservative compared to Ying Zheng.

After a long silence, Ying Zheng finally spoke: "I want to unify the world."

"Marquis Wenxin has always dissuaded me, saying that I am too radical."

"But now Marquis Wenxin is even more radical than me."

Lü Buwei hated him for not fighting and said: "Your Majesty's desire to unify the world is not radical, but crazy!"

"If this marquis says that my Great Qin not only wants to unify the world, but also wants to pacify the Xiongnu in the north, conquer the Donghu in the east, and pacify the Baiyue in the south!"

"What do you think?"

Lü Buwei was waiting for Ying Zheng to say that this strategy was too radical, and then told Ying Zheng that this was how he felt when he heard that Ying Zheng wanted to unify the world.

Lü Buwei hoped that Ying Zheng could understand Lü Buwei's good intentions after thinking from his perspective.

Who would have thought that after a moment of hesitation, Ying Zheng said thoughtfully: "If I can really unify the world, my Great Qin will have to continue to expand its territory."

"The Donghu has been stable recently, so we can put it aside for now."

"But I must pacify the Xiongnu and Baiyue!"

Lü Buwei:...

Lü Buwei was so angry that he laughed: "This great Qin will sooner or later fall into your hands!!!"

At this moment, Lü Buwei didn't want to die at all!

He had to live!

He couldn't watch Ying Zheng drag his ideal country, which he had spent half his life building, into the abyss!

Ying Zheng slammed the table and stood up, staring at Lü Buwei angrily: "Marquis Wenxin, you are so presumptuous!"

What do you mean by this?

Does it mean that my Great Qin must be controlled by you, Marquis Wenxin, to prosper, and if it is handed over to me, it will not be far from the country's demise!

Lü Buwei also looked at Ying Zheng without giving in: "As a minister, you should give direct advice!"

As a teacher and an important minister entrusted with the care of the young emperor, Lü Buwei could not flatter Ying Zheng!

Ying Chengjiao was so annoyed that even the snacks in his mouth were no longer fragrant.

Why are you quarreling again!

Ying Chengjiao hurriedly said: "Brother, calm down, calm down!"

"Since Marquis Wenxin dares to speak wildly, let him speak clearly!"

"We want to hear why Marquis Wenxin dares to speak so!"

Ying Zheng subconsciously wanted to continue scolding, and then Ying Zheng saw Ying Chengjiao half-bowed, clasped his hands into fists, and shook them wildly.

Seeing Ying Chengjiao like this, Ying Zheng had to suppress his anger and turned around to sit down.

Ying Chengjiao looked at Lu Buwei again and said, "What the king wants is advice, not facts!"

"As a minister, Marquis Wenxin should explain well and help the king accept advice, instead of angering the king!"

Ying Zheng glared at Ying Chengjiao speechlessly.

What is the fact?

Explain to me what the fact is!

Lü Buwei's anger subsided a little, and he asked in a stiff voice: "The people can't be killed!"

"Local officials can't be killed!"

"Even if my Great Qin kills all the people in the world, there will be more people in the future."

"Even if my Great Qin replaces a group of local officials, these local officials will still repeat the same mistakes."

"Does the king think so?"

Ying Zheng nodded slowly: "Yes."

Lü Buwei asked again: "Although the people in Guandong all live in Guandong, their cultural customs and interests are different."

"Does the king think so?"

Ying Zheng said two more words: "Yes."

Lü Buwei nodded slowly: "Therefore, the people should not be the enemies of my Great Qin, and the local officials should not be the enemies of my Great Qin."

"My Great Qin cannot and should not establish such enemies!"

"The king's enemies are the few people who do not obey the king, and A few local officials who violated the law and were corrupt. "

"If all Guandong officials and people are directly regarded as enemies, how can our Great Qin not perish!"

Ying Chengjiao's eyes lit up, and he blurted out: "So my Great Qin should kill a group, pull a group, and beat a group?"

Lv Buwei finally showed his first smile since entering the imperial study: "Chang'an Jun is right!"

"What Chang'an Jun did in the old Chu land is an excellent demonstration."

"Chang'an Jun won over the people of Chu, bandits, servants, and several large families such as the Jing family, and went to kill the Chu royal family and its supporters together. Then, under the name of helping Chu to restore the country, he personally led his troops to knock on the doors of every household in Chu as a deterrent. "

"I listened to it, and I couldn't hide my joy even if I drank for three days. "

"Chang'an Jun's move can at least keep Chu from chaos for ten years!"

"I advised this strategy with the advice of Chang'an Jun."

Ying Chengjiao was a little embarrassed.

He really hoped that the people of Chu would stand up and restore Chu, so how could it be considered a deterrent?

Ying Zheng was feeling proud.

Isn't my brother smart?

If I hadn't protected him in the past, such a wise and brave brother would have been killed by you, an old man!

Doesn't this prove that I am right and you are wrong!

Ying Zheng said in a rather brisk voice: "I think so too."

"I have already decided on the strategy of making friends with distant countries and attacking nearby ones."

"For remote areas like Wu and Yue, we should appease them. For nearby areas like the former Han and Wei, we should govern them."

"When the nearby areas are well governed, we can govern the distant areas."

Lu Buwei subconsciously wanted to scold Ying Zheng as if he was scolding a disciple.

But just as Lu Buwei's face changed, he caught a glimpse of Ying Chengjiao half-bowed again, clasping his hands into fists and shaking them wildly.

Lü Buwei finally held back and shook his head, saying, "Domestic affairs are not the same as foreign wars."

"What virtue do officials have to make the king bend down and make friends?"

"How can the people lead the king to order an attack?"

"Distance is important, but distance is not the only thing."

Hearing Lü Buwei's words, combined with the conversation between Lü Buwei and Ying Chengjiao just now, Ying Zheng thought: "I think that we can further divide officials and people based on their identities, character, and interests."

Lü Buwei looked at Ying Zheng with encouragement: "Then who do you think is the most worthy of the king's winning over?"

Ying Zheng frowned slightly and pondered: "The royal family of my country should be beaten."

"The sons of the important ministers of my country should be beaten."

"The tyrants entrenched in various places are the main force to resist the Qin law, and they should be beaten."

"The sons of the declining people may be won over."

"Schools..."

As he took stock of the forces, Ying Zheng's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

Ying Zheng suddenly realized that there seemed to be no people in Guandong who were worth winning over or who could be won over by him!

Ying Chengjiao ate his snacks with peace of mind.

Today, he was only responsible for making sure Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei had a peaceful conversation.

He had no intention of participating in the rest of the matter!

Lü Buwei said gently: "In addition to these people, there is another group of people who always follow the king."

"If the Qin is strong, they will be strong."

"If the Qin is rich, they will be rich."

"They will advance and retreat with the Qin, and they are the group of people that the Qin should trust the most!"

Ying Zheng subconsciously said: "The royal family members have titles!"

But then Ying Zheng subconsciously shook his head: "No."

"The royal family members cannot be trusted, and they must not be released from Hangu Pass."

"Most of the titled people live in Guanzhong, how can they govern Guandong?"

Lü Buwei said casually: "Let the court grant land to Guandong, and grant more fertile land, they will naturally go to Guandong happily!"

Ying Zheng shook his head again: "If so, the population of Guanzhong will become increasingly scarce!"

"The population of Guanzhong is weak, and the population of Guandong is large. This is upside down, which is really uneasy!"

The great unification of the Qin Dynasty was built with human lives.

Under the supreme throne, there are not only the bones of the people of the six countries, but also the bones of the old Qin people themselves.

The continuous wars have already made the population of Guanzhong extremely sparse.

So in history, Ying Zheng would repeatedly enrich the population of Guanzhong by forcibly recruiting merchants and nobles, and conscripting corvée prisoners.

At the same time, Ying Zheng also dragged all those who seemed unstable to Ying Zheng back to Guanzhong for custody, so that the originally empty Neishi County became overcrowded.

As Ying Zheng wished, the population of Guanzhong skyrocketed, suppressing those ambitious people and assimilating many of their descendants.

Then, chaos broke out in Guandong!

Lü Buwei sighed softly: "As early as when the king ordered all the Chu Zhao'an troops who were willing to follow Chang'an Jun into Qin to settle in Guanzhong, this marquis had the intention to advise the king."

"Guanzhong Qin territory is Daqin, and Guandong Qin territory is also Daqin!"

"The king thinks that returning many people from Guandong to Guanzhong will make the world worry-free."

"But the king cannot move all the people in the world to Guanzhong, and Guandong will still be in chaos."

"I think the king can move the people of Guandong, the nobles, and the merchants to Guanzhong, but he should not move the people of Guandong to Guanzhong, but should move the people with titles to Guandong."

"Take advantage of the gap between the Guandong tyrants being moved to Guanzhong, and replace them with the people with titles in Daqin, become the new local tyrants, and then use their words to influence the surrounding people."

"In this way, the Guandong area can be returned to Qin as soon as possible!"

In Lü Buwei's view, it is impossible for a place to be without tyrants.

Then use the power of the court to move away the local tyrants, let the nobles of Daqin quickly become the new local tyrants, and let your own people fill this position!

These new tyrants are originally old Qin people, they are naturally closer to Daqin, and they are tied to Daqin's interests, so they are more trustworthy.

These new tyrants can even use their influence and control over the local area to make more people in Guandong change their minds and become Qin people.

This can also solve the problem of rewards for those with titles, allowing those with titles to obtain more and more fertile land.

Why not?

Ying Zheng refuted without hesitation: "Guanzhong is the top priority of Daqin."

"If the people and nobles of Guandong are full of Guanzhong, it is Guanzhong that has a lot of nobles going to Guandong, which will inevitably result in more thieves in Guanzhong and fewer old Qin people."

"If these people and nobles collude to make trouble, what should my Daqin do!"

This question is difficult to answer.

Because no one can say that the people of Guandong at that time will not collude to make trouble.

The number of Qin people in Guanzhong was becoming increasingly sparse, and there were not enough people in the area to quickly form an army to protect the emperor.

But Lu Buwei calmly turned his eyes to Ying Chengjiao who picked up a piece of honey Changchu cake.

Seeing this, Ying Zheng seemed to be thinking about something, and also turned his eyes to Ying Chengjiao who put the honey Changchu cake into his mouth.

Ying Chengjiao: You said (chew~chew) how come this honey Changchu cake (chew~chew) is so delicious!
