Chapter 806 Cheng Jiao's Ambition! The Power of One Person Is Limited, but the Power of the People Is Infinite!
Mrs. Han didn’t quite understand what Ying Chengjiao said and asked, “Qiao’er, do you think their sacrifice is still not meaningful enough?”
Even though all the powerful people would treat their family soldiers well, Ying Chengjiao’s treatment of his family soldiers was still far better than that of other powerful people, and he was more sincere.
In Mrs. Han’s opinion, these family soldiers should die for Ying Chengjiao, and being able to protect Ying Chengjiao was the greatest meaning of their lives.
Mrs. Han really couldn’t think of how Ying Chengjiao could make the sacrifice of these family soldiers more meaningful!
Ying Chengjiao took a sip of wine and said in a complicated voice: "For Duanfu and others, their sacrifice may be meaningful enough."
"But in my opinion, it is not enough, far from enough!"
"And even if the sacrifice of Duanfu and other family soldiers is enough, then is the sacrifice of ordinary soldiers in the army like Ernao worth it?"
"I hope their sacrifice can not only bring benefits to the family, not just to the generations of descendants."
"But a new era that is better than the present."
"I think that perhaps only a dozen generations and a war will break up the clan and the family tree."
"I hope that even if their descendants will be scattered all over the world in the future, they can still live a better life... at least a better life than now!"
The sacrifice of Duanfu and other family soldiers certainly made Ying Chengjiao feel sad, but Ying Chengjiao at least had a way to compensate their families and dispel the sadness in his heart.
But what about the hundreds of thousands of ordinary Qin soldiers who died on the battlefield? What can Ying Chengjiao do for them?
Mrs. Han's pupils trembled: "What I want is not just for one prefecture."
"It's for the whole world!"
Let the descendants of Duanfu and other family soldiers live better than now after they are scattered all over the world.
This is definitely not something that can be accomplished by the power of Chang'an Junfu alone.
Because it means that everyone in the world can live a better life than now.
This kind of change that affects the whole world is extremely difficult to accomplish even if the power of the whole Qin is poured into it!
Ying Chengjiao smiled: "Mother knows me."
"I hope that this world can become better while being unified."
"I hope that any comrade who died in the battle does not have to worry about whether their children will starve to death in the winter."
"I hope that I, who they will protect at the cost of their lives, can bring more changes to this world."
Even in the battle to destroy Zhao, Ying Chengjiao's first goal was still to ensure that Qin could unify the world while preserving his own life.
So even though Ying Chengjiao brought out many creations, and Ying Chengjiao also benefited many people through these creations, the appearance and manufacture of these creations were all for Ying Chengjiao's self-preservation and the unification of the Qin Dynasty.
Ying Chengjiao kept all the technologies that might cause a huge change in the world deep in his heart, and dared not tell anyone!
But now, Ying Chengjiao suddenly had a wild ambition in his heart.
He hoped that while protecting himself and unifying the Qin Dynasty, he could take the productivity of the entire era to a higher level and make people's lives better!
In this way, he would not let down those who died for him, nor would he let down this journey.
Mrs. Han looked solemn: "Qiao'er's words are very biased."
Ying Chengqiao was stunned: "Why did my mother say that?"
Mrs. Han raised her voice and said solemnly: "No one thinks that Qiao'er should make this era better."
"No family soldier expects that his descendants can still live a good life after more than ten generations."
"No soldier thinks that he should be rewarded by Qiao'er. They are all summoned by the court and fight for themselves."
"Even if Qiao'er really makes this world better, it is impossible to make the sacrifice of those family soldiers more valuable."
"In fact, if it weren't for the closer relationship between Qiao'er and the king, Qiao'er's idea itself would be a crime enough to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan!"
Mrs. Han ruthlessly exposed Ying Chengqiao's long-brewing emotions.
No one thinks that Ying Chengqiao should make the world better.
If someone else did what Ying Chengjiao wanted to do, they might even be mistaken for buying people's hearts, and then be framed with a lot of crimes, and eventually have their property confiscated and their family exterminated!
Ying Chengjiao's series of ideas are only derived from his personal thoughts.
Even if Ying Chengjiao's ideas are implemented, Ying Chengjiao's family soldiers and his family will not think that Ying Chengjiao's achievements have anything to do with them. They may even make more sacrifices for Ying Chengjiao's ideas!
Perhaps the only thing that can really feel satisfied is Ying Chengjiao's personal moral satisfaction.
Ying Chengjiao: ⊙﹏⊙
Seeing Ying Chengjiao's distorted expression, Madam Han said calmly: "My son is good at arguing."
"If what I said is wrong, my son can refute it!"
Ying Chengjiao sighed helplessly: "Mother, what you said is true."
"As mother said, my son's thoughts may not be enough to make the sacrifice of the family soldiers more valuable, but it will make my life more valuable."
Madam Han shook her head again: "Who determines the value of life? That is just a name woven by the court to drive the people away."
"Who said that life must have so-called value?"
"If the relationship between my son and the king is not so close, my son's life is addicted to sensual pleasures and worthless, which is the greatest value for Daqin!"
"And Jiao'er is a very noble person in the world."
"Once people of Jiao'er's status have ambitions, they will be paved with the lives of countless people!"
"Qiao'er's life does have so-called value, but do Li Shu really think that helping Qiao'er realize the value of Qiao'er's life is also the value of their lives?"
"Your uncle, Han Fei, once said that the world is always moving forward and will not be transferred by individuals."
"How can my son, with his own strength, replace the efforts of countless people and the grinding of time, and then change this world?"
"My son is not afraid that after sacrificing many lives of Li Shu, he will be useless to the world?!"
Mrs. Han's attacks came one after another, and each round hit the point and pointed directly to the core of the problem, stripping away all emotions and revealing the cold and cruel facts.
After completing her attack, Mrs. Han looked at Ying Chengjiao quietly, waiting for Ying Chengjiao's defense and counterattack.
However, Ying Chengjiao cried out in grievance: "Mother!"
"I just returned victorious and I'm still hungry!"
Madam Han:
Seeing Ying Chengjiao like this, Madam Han couldn't help but laugh and scolded angrily: "You brat!"
"Mother is talking to you about serious matters, don't you think mother is scolding you?"
Madam Han said seriously: "Those who accomplish great things must have struggles."
"My son didn't have great ambitions in the past, but just hoped to help the king. Whether the king's ambition succeeds or fails, the final result will be borne by the king, so I don't need to say more."
"But since my son now has great ambitions, I must let my son understand."
"Before doing anything, you must first think clearly whether you are doing it for others or for yourself."
"Even if the achievement you want to complete is a good deed, there will certainly be countless people who don't understand you, and too many people will sacrifice their lives for it. I hope my son will not regret it when he looks back at the mountains of corpses and seas of blood along the way."
"Now, my son should have made up his mind."
"My son, do you still want to continue to carry out your wish, so that you can satisfy your inner satisfaction of "making their sacrifice more valuable"?"
Mrs. Han did not want to dissuade Ying Chengjiao, but just wanted Ying Chengjiao to understand who he was working for, what difficulties he would encounter in the process of his efforts, and what kind of miserable situation he would look back on after success. She also asked Ying Chengjiao whether Ying Chengjiao could accept the sacrifices he had made along the way at that time?
After a long silence, Ying Chengjiao finally looked up at Mrs. Han: "I will never change my mind!"
"The value of life is determined by me."
"A life of fishing for fun is valuable, but a life of great achievements will leave me with no regrets!"
"I know that any action I take will cause unrest in the world, and may even cause countless people to lose their families because of my actions."
"But I know that only our generation has fought the war, and later generations will not need to fight again."
"Only our generation has suffered the hardships, and later generations will have no regrets." So you don't have to suffer from hunger. "
"The world is so big that it may be difficult to reverse it with my own strength, but I don't think I am alone. Chen Li, Zhuang Chou and many other righteous men will help me. "
"If the strength of one person is not enough, then raise the strength of ten thousand people. If the strength of ten thousand people is not enough, then raise the power of faith. I firmly believe that I have the ability to accelerate the evolution of the times and make this world a better place!"
"Even if it is difficult for me to complete my life, I can at least leave a spark for future generations to ignite!"
Ying Chengjiao knew very well that the development of the times was not transferred by personal will.
But Ying Chengjiao's eyes were still firm!
Because Ying Chengjiao believed that it was not only his own strength that changed this world, but also the strength of thousands of people who wanted to live a good life!
Individuals may not be able to change the times.
But the people can definitely!
Mrs. Han didn't know where Ying Chengjiao got such determination, but she didn't delve into it.
After helping Ying Chengjiao determine how firm his belief was, Madam Han asked the last question: "My son has great talent since he was young, but he never wanted to show it."
"Is my son no longer afraid now?"
Madam Han knew that Ying Chengjiao's head was filled with knowledge that could change the world, and the technology Ying Chengjiao had brought out now was probably just the tip of the iceberg.
But Madam Han also knew that Ying Chengjiao was always a little timid, and was afraid of this and that when he brought out some technology.
From what Ying Chengjiao said tonight, Ying Chengjiao was obviously going to make a big move.
Has the fear that once troubled Ying Chengjiao been overcome by Ying Chengjiao?
Ying Chengjiao grinned: "Marquis Wenxin has returned to the court and has expressed his willingness to support my elder brother's ambition!"
"If what I did really had a bad impact on Daqin, I'll leave it to Marquis Wenxin to deal with!"
This was the cornerstone of Ying Chengjiao's sudden radicalization!
Ying Chengjiao had no confidence in dealing with the mess he had made.
Ying Chengjiao knew that Ying Zheng was almost at his limit, and he was reluctant to let Ying Zheng clean up the mess for him.
Lü Buwei's return to the court had put a fuse on the Qin Dynasty.
As long as Lü Buwei did not collapse, Ying Chengjiao would still dare to make trouble!
Madam Han was stunned, and then laughed: "You kid!"
"If Wen Xinhou heard this, he would probably be so angry that he would resign on the spot!"
Ying Chengjiao laughed and said: "I have paid money to support Wen Xinhou for so many years, not for Wen Xinhou to eat dry food!"
"If you eat the corn I sent, you have to work for me!"
Madam Han laughed and shook her head: "You, you!"
"Since my son has made up his mind, I feel relieved."
Sitting up straight, Madam Han asked seriously: "Can I help my son in any way?"
Ying Chengjiao bowed his hands and said: "Thank you, mother, to sort out all the money and treasures of Chang'an Junfu and Chang'an Palace, and calculate the total price."
"Order the local fiefs to send more young and strong men to Chang'an Township."
"My son will need a lot of money and food next!"
"I'll have to take care of all the affairs in the palace and the government."
Madam Han smiled and nodded: "Since my son has his heart set on it."
"Chang'an Junfu and Chang'an Palace will do their best to support you!"
