Chapter 529: He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "What I want is your words. I plan to use your power to gain control of the ten miles and eight towns."
Ying Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "Father-in-law, I know you have ambitions, but your ambitions are too small.
There is nothing easy to control in a place that is only about ten miles and eight miles apart. I said, after you go out, I will help you buy a small country. "
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "I know you have filial piety, but this is my obsession. I hope you can fulfill it."
"But, I really don't want to get involved in your internal affairs." Qin An said, "But I will help my father-in-law. Because I want to go out."
"Haha..." Ying Zheng laughed, "Okay. I'll help you out."
Li Si and others couldn't figure out what Ying Zheng was thinking at this time.
He didn't look angry at all, but from what he just said, it seemed that Ying Zheng was instigating Qin An to seize power again, as if he was testing whether Qin An was greedy for power.
In fact, Ying Zheng was just testing, and now he is very satisfied with Qin An's answer.
Qin An has never forgotten his original intention, thinking about returning to his own era, and at the same time he has not forgotten that he wants to buy a country for Ying Zheng, and has no ambitions.
These made Ying Zheng very satisfied.
As for what will happen in the future, as Qin An said, future generations will be blessed by future generations, so there is no point worrying about it.
"As if what happened today has never happened. No one should spread rumors about it. Don't let other people in the court know about it. Do you understand?" Ying Zheng said.
"promise."
Li Si and others already understood at this time, this matter was revealed and no one should mention it.
Qin An also understood at this time that because the people shouted long live him, Ying Zheng and the others were worried.
He sighed and said, "I understand. Father-in-law, if the court finds out about this matter, what will they do to me?"
"This is the crime of genocide." Ying Zheng said solemnly, "Whether it is the common people or you, it will be the disaster of genocide."
"Such a court should indeed be replaced."
"What did you say?"
Qin An was interrupted sharply by Ying Zheng before he could finish speaking.
Others were also panicked. This matter has already passed, so why are you mentioning him?
Just when everyone was worried about Qin An, Qin An said: "Father-in-law, don't be angry, just listen to me."
"Okay, tell me, let me see what you have to say." Ying Zheng said angrily.
Qin An immediately explained: "Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, once compared the water to the common people and the boat to the emperor.
He also put forward the statement that water can carry a boat and also capsize it. He is loved by people all over the world.
As I mentioned before, Li Shimin laid the foundation for the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and his rule of Zhenguan is even more famous in history.
Mencius once said that those who win the hearts of the people win the world.
Now that I have manufactured a steam plowing vehicle, it is loved by the people. At this time, they are shouting long live. This is the time when the people's wishes are fulfilled.
As a person in power, if what he thinks about at this time is to punish me and the people, then the person in power will lose the support of the people and may eventually be destroyed. "
Ying Zheng's expression changed and he said, "According to your opinion, what should the court do?"
"Reward me and reward the people. In this way, I will surrender to the imperial court and the people will surrender to the imperial court even more. This is such a good thing.
As for shouting long live the emperor, ministers and people will call him long live the emperor. But sometimes, when a big event or a happy event happens, everyone will also shout long live.
This is not the so-called crime of deceiving the emperor, but the people think that this matter is as important as the emperor.
For example, if an enemy attacks outside the capital, take Hangu Pass as an example.
Just when the enemy had besieged Hangu Pass for half a month and was about to break through Hangu Pass, Xianyang City was in danger.
A general led the remaining soldiers and horses to defeat the enemy. At this time, all the soldiers who escaped death excitedly shouted long live the Qin Dynasty, and at the same time shouted this
Long live the general.
If it is your father-in-law, will you reward this general or punish him? "
Ying Zheng frowned slightly and said, "If I were in power, I would definitely reward this general. If anyone speaks ill of this general because of this incident, I will definitely punish him."
"My father-in-law will definitely be a good emperor." Qin An said, "But there are two types of rewards. One is to have real power, and the other is to give only a false name.
I suggested that my father-in-law build a Martyrs' Shrine and Literature Pavilion for the court.
The Martyrs' Shrine can have the names of all loyal and martyrs in history engraved in it, and the life stories of this person can be written.
Wenge is simple. It is not just about outstanding literary talents, but also people who have made contributions to the country.
For example, Confucius, Mencius, Mohist giants and other people who have contributed to society can add their names to the literary pavilion and write down their achievements.
The Chungnyeolsa Shrine and Wenge should not only record people from one's own country, but also people from the enemy's country. Anyone who is a loyal and martyr can be recorded in the Chungnyeolsa Shrine.
The purpose of the Martyrs' Shrine is to promote loyal people and make everyone in the world become a loyal person. "
"What a good idea." Gan Luo said, "In this way, every village in the country will support the imperial court. No, as long as the village chief proposes it, everyone will support the village chief."
"We'll talk about it then," Ying Zheng said, "Today we'll just watch the plow trucks plowing the fields, and we'll have a proper celebration in the evening, and then we'll talk more about the Martyrs' Shrine and Wen Pavilion."
"promise."
Afterwards, everyone sat on the plow truck and plowed the land for a whole day. The steam plow truck kept plowing the land without feeling tired at all.
"Qin An, isn't this car tiring?" Li Si asked curiously.
"That's the difference. Cows get tired, and so do people, but plowing vehicles don't. As long as they have enough fuel, which is coal, they can run for a year without any problem." Qin An said, "However, people need to change frequently. Otherwise, one will be too tired."
"It doesn't matter, just stop the car, just like you did every time you stopped to take a pee," Ying Zheng said.
They stood there for so long, stopping the car several times for convenience.
Qin An nodded and said: "Father-in-law, it's getting late, let's go back. I still need to prepare ingredients, so Manman and the others can't be hungry."
"That's fine." Ying Zheng said with satisfaction, "Manman and the others are pregnant, so they really can't go hungry."
Afterwards, everyone got out of the car and went back to the yard.
In the yard, the three girls Ying Yin and Man had already learned the news about the success of the experiment. I also knew that the villagers shouted long live my husband, and I also knew that Ying Zheng had no intention of blaming Qin An.
This made them happy at first, then nervous and worried, and finally relieved, as if they were on a roller coaster.
In the meantime, the three women all wanted to go to Qin An, but Zhang Han finally persuaded them to stop.
Now everyone breathed a sigh of relief and knew that Ying Zheng and others were coming back, so they asked the chef who had prepared in advance to start cooking.
