Chapter 174: The people’s hearts return to Qin
Xiao He heard this and immediately said: "No matter whether the world is in chaos or not, the orthodox person must be the prince, and the First Emperor's theory of Chinese unification has been thoroughly rooted in the hearts of the people.
Anyone who wants to start an uprising must be able to convince the public. As far as I know, no one can do this.
There is one person in Peixian County who can convince everyone, but it is only limited to Peixian County. For the entire Daqin, that person is like a drop of water in the ocean, unable to make waves. "
"If we are pushed too hard, sooner or later someone will resist. But that was before, and I'm afraid it will be difficult now, as everyone is focused on those crops.
As long as the yield of those crops is really that high, then no one in the world will rebel again.
If someone really rebels, then this person is probably extremely confident in himself. "Han Xin said.
"You are right. Unfortunately, so far, everyone has been suppressed by the First Emperor, and no one dares to rebel.
The most important thing is the Qin Law. Legalists all over the world gathered in Xianyang City. Once the Qin Law is revised and the criminal law is reduced, no one in the world will oppose it.
Once the prince ascends the throne and releases the prisoners who built the Great Wall at Lishan and border passes, the people's hearts will completely return to the Qin Dynasty.
Anyone who dares to oppose Qin is against the people. I can now see that the future of Da Qin will be unexpectedly strong and rich. "Xiao He said.
Han Xin nodded and said, "I believe it too."
…
In Juhuan, an old man and a young man were walking in the fields.
"Father, how do you view the current situation?" the young man asked.
“The unification of China, the Four Treasures of the Study, lowered salt prices, new agricultural tools, and new crops all added to the national fortunes of the Qin Dynasty for another twenty years.
Yu'er, if you start an uprising now, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, and you may even be killed by the imperial army. "The old man said slowly.
The young man is Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu who was able to lift the cauldron with one hand in history, and the old man is his counselor and sub-father, Fan Zeng.
Xiang Yu said with an ugly face: "After Qin unified the world, it took away so much of the people's wealth and made the people miserable. It can even be described as the people's livelihood.
However, now that so many things have happened, it can add another twenty years to the national destiny of Great Qin. It is simply unreasonable.
Yafu, if we don't do something now, I'm worried that the uprising will be delayed again and again, and eventually it will go to nothing. "
Fan Zeng sighed, then pointed at the people who were harvesting grain and said, "Yu'er, look at them, what are their faces?"
Xiang Yu looked closely and found that the faces of the people were all smiling. Although they were working hard, they were full of smiles.
"A smile is a smile." Xiang Yu said, "It's a bumper harvest now, and it's rare for the people to smile.
The addition of these farm tools accelerated their harvesting speed, and they were even more happy.
Yafu, do you have any ideas? "
Fan Zeng nodded and said: "The reason why the people smile is because they have a good harvest, but when they pay taxes, there will be no smile on their faces."
"You mean Yafu wants the government to collect more taxes?"
Fan Zeng nodded and said: "Yes, the imperial taxation is relatively strict, and the taxes paid by the people are not enough, or the local government's granary was burned by fire.
Will local officials collect taxes from the people in order to replenish their positions? "
"Yu'er understands what Yafu means." Xiang Yu said excitedly, "Yafu, I will go back now, gather the people from Jiangdong, and burn down the granaries everywhere."
Fan Zeng nodded and said: "This matter is not urgent, and it cannot be local, but Xianyang City. Unless the First Emperor dies, the world will be in chaos. Now we can only wait.
Yu'er, let's go to Xianyang City. After arriving in Xianyang City, we will make friends with the court officials and take advantage of the power of the court. Help yourself gain momentum. "
"Father, Yu'er doesn't understand."
"Being an official in the court, it is best to control an army. In this way, when the First Emperor dies and the world is in chaos, Yu'er can quickly stand out.
Now that the unification of the world has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even if the First Emperor is dead and the world is in chaos.
If Yu'er wants to become the master of the world, it will take too much time and it's not worth it.
However, as long as Yu'er becomes a member of the imperial court, you can legitimately raise a big flag, and countless people will come to seek refuge with you.
At that time, as long as it is a city belonging to the imperial court, it will definitely open its gates and surrender to you, getting twice the result with half the effort. Why not. "
"Yu'er already understands what Yafu means." Xiang Yu frowned deeply and said in a deep voice, "But I don't agree with this matter.
Yafu must have heard that although Chu has three households, if Qin is destroyed, Chu will definitely die. You ask the descendants of Xiang Yan, the great general of Chu, to seek refuge with Qin, the enemy of Chu. I will never agree to it. "
"Yu'er, the current situation in the world is completely different from what it was back then. Among the several policies recommended by Ying Zheng, the amendment of the Qin Law has made the people of the world return to their hearts.
Even if the forces of the Six Kingdoms still exist and there are millions of people in total, they are no match for the Qin army that is in full swing.
After the death of the First Emperor, Fusu succeeded to the throne. The most fearful thing is that Fusu will release the prisoners in Lishan and Border Pass.
This move will make the people more loyal to the Qin Dynasty. The only plan now is for Yu'er to become the chief general of the army. When Yingzheng dies, the whole country mourns. Before Fusu succeeds, he burns the granaries and launches uprisings everywhere.
Only then would Da Qin cause indelible harm and have a chance to overthrow Da Qin. "Fan Zeng analyzed.
Xiang Yu thought for a while, with a look of struggle on his face, and finally said: "Father, my uncle and I need to discuss this matter."
Fan Zeng nodded and said: "Okay, I will go to Kuaiji with you. I believe General Xiang Liang will definitely agree."
Xiang Yu nodded solemnly: "Okay, let's set off now."
…
Pei County.
Liu Bang, who became the county magistrate, was as carefree as ever, but when the time to collect grain came, he stopped fishing and went to the fields with the county officials to harvest grain.
"Sir," an official said, "Now that the harvest is plentiful, the people have new farm tools, and everyone is happy.
This is a great thing. Do you want to report it to the imperial court, inform the imperial court of this good news, and congratulate His Majesty at the same time? "
Liu Bang smiled and said, "What are you doing, do you want to flatter His Majesty?"
The official smiled and said: "The villain is not doing this for the sake of the adults."
"Okay. Let's get to work."
"promise."
Xia Houying came over at this time and said: "Brother, the grain growth is very good this year, and the people should have surplus grain in their hands."
"Yes, the common people can have enough to eat, especially after the imperial court withdrew from steamed buns, steamed buns and noodles, the common people's lives have obviously become much better." Liu Bang said.
"Brother, I shouldn't be a spoiler on such an important day." Xia Houying said helplessly, "But I have to say it."
Liu Bang glanced at him and said slowly: "You want to talk about escorting the laborers to Lishan Mountain?"
"That's right." Xia Houying nodded solemnly.
