Chapter 763: The Importance of Unification
"Building the Great Wall is a huge project that consumes people's money, so as long as the emperor is the emperor, he will think twice about this matter, and the court will investigate and calculate it countless times before it can be implemented.
But once this happens, no one knows what will happen.
But the First Emperor was different. He not only ordered the construction of the Great Wall, but also spared no effort to build the Great Wall.
He is not doing it for himself, he is doing it so that countless border people can live in a safe environment.
Therefore, the construction of the Great Wall was a merit for the First Emperor, but a sin for the present. "
The old man looked at Qin An and said, "My eyesight is shallow. I see the contemporary world. Imperial Master, now that you are out of the mountains, do you still want to build the Great Wall?"
"Xiu." Qin An said without hesitation, "Even if we drive away the Xiongnu, who can say for sure whether other nomads will appear in the future.
The Great Wall is one of the biggest defenses against nomads and must be repaired. It is also one of the biggest symbols of China and must be repaired.
Because what we are building is not only the Great Wall, but also our determination to resist foreigners, and it is a kind of faith. "
Hearing this, the old man sighed and said, "The emperor still has to do such things that waste people and money. It is really disappointing to me."
"You are disappointed because you are ignorant. In the future, when the Great Wall is built, corvee labor will no longer be required. Instead, the court will pay people to build it. Not only will the materials be provided, but the workers will be paid for their work and will also receive three meals a day.
Doctors will also be arranged at various areas of the Great Wall. If you have any injuries, you can seek medical treatment in time, and the medicine will be free of charge.
Dad, there may still be corvees, but they will only serve in the county where they are staying, and they no longer have to run around.
It is also possible to cancel the corvee and replace it with money. With the money collected, the government will invite workers to do the work.
Dear people, the unification of the six kingdoms by the Qin Dynasty is not only about the unification of the land, but also the unification of everything.
There are seven languages in a country. Let me ask you, should you learn Qin characters or Qi characters? Chu character? "
"People from Chu learn the character Chu, and people from Qi learn the character Qi. Why not?" Another person said.
"Absurd." Qin An sneered, "If that's the case, then I have to ask you, when the countries from the Western Regions come to Qin, do you want them to see the characters of Qin or the characters of the other six countries? A Chu man wants to go to Qin Do we need to learn all the Chinese characters to do business locally? Is this beneficial or harmful to a country?
If a country wants to be strong, it must be unified. If it is not unified, then when the Six Kingdoms are still there, why do they only use one language instead of two or several languages?
Because it is inconvenient, inconvenience means that it cannot make the country strong.
Why do I say that if we want to get rich, we need to build roads first? Because if we have roads, it will be very convenient to travel to various places.
I really don't know how stupid a person is to ask this question. "
The person who just spoke immediately closed his mouth, shrank his whole body, and looked at the people around him in embarrassment, as if the looks around him were all contempt.
The old man nodded slightly and said: "I have learned the lesson. But I still have a question for the emperor?"
"Excuse me, father." Qin An was still very polite to the old man.
The old man nodded and said: "Since the Imperial Master said that the Imperial Master came from the future, I would like to ask the Imperial Master, how is the national destiny of Great Qin?"
"If the original historical trajectory is followed, the national destiny of the Qin Dynasty will only last for two generations, and the First Emperor will pass away next year. The Qin Dynasty will be destroyed three years after the death of the First Emperor." Qin An answered truthfully.
"Great, our chance has come." Li Zuoche said excitedly.
Also excited were other anti-Qin forces, including the remnants of the other Six Kingdoms.
Under the city wall, Xiang Liang's uncle and nephew had wry smiles on their faces. According to the historical trajectory, Da Qin was destroyed by their Xiang family.
However, the trajectory of history has changed.
At this time, the two of them looked at the man on the tower who changed the trajectory of history.
However, those anti-Qin forces were not happy for long.
Qin An spoke again: "However, the trajectory of history has changed, and I, Qin An, will not allow the death of the Second Emperor of Great Qin.
I don’t have the ability to say that I will definitely be able to make Great Qin last forever, but I can at least guarantee that Great Qin will remain standing for hundreds of years.
Today I stand on the city tower and mainly talk about three things. The first is that China must be unified, with unified writing, unified language, unified weights and measures, etc.
I am not opposed to the preservation of local dialects in various places, but I require that the next generation must be able to speak Da Qin's Mandarin and Mandarin, and understand Da Qin's national characters and simplified Chinese characters.
Only by unification can the Qin Dynasty be strong and the Chinese nation become stronger and integrate into more nations.
Confucius once said that Confucianism is the great unity and can be integrated into hundreds of schools of thought. In other words, all schools of thought can be integrated into Confucianism.
The Chinese nation upholds Confucianism and implements the policy of great harmony, allowing all ethnic groups to integrate into the Chinese nation.
Let the Chinese nation become the first nation in the world today. "
"Okay." A commoner suddenly shouted, "Master Emperor, I am willing to contribute to the Chinese nation and vow to make the Chinese nation the first nation in the world."
Other common people look at me and I look at you with firm eyes. They are happy that they can become a member of China.
Immediately, there was a sound like thunder from all around.
"We are willing to contribute to the Chinese nation and vow to make the Chinese nation the first nation in the world."
After the people of Xianyang City finished speaking at the same time, the scene fell silent instantly.
Qin An immediately said: "I will encourage you all together."
Qin An then handed the microphone to Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng understood, took the microphone and said, "I am willing to encourage you all together."
"The common people (minor ministers) are willing to work with His Majesty to encourage this."
United as one, hundreds of thousands of people were so united that it frightened the generals of the six countries and the anti-Qin forces.
They are not afraid of a battle with the Qin army. They are afraid that the Qin Dynasty will be united and monolithic. The Qin Dynasty was already very powerful, but now it is even stronger. They cannot resist at all and can only shrink back.
Qin An took the phone again and said, "Thank you for your trust. The second thing I want to say is the merits and demerits of the First Emperor.
I want everyone to know about the pattern of the First Emperor. Everything he did was not for the Qin Dynasty but for the future of China. XiuShu.com
What you don’t know is that the First Emperor issued an imperial edict to Border Pass and South Vietnam. No matter whether the Qin Dynasty was destroyed or not, the border troops were not allowed to return to Xianyang City for rescue.
Even if the people of the Qin Dynasty revolted and the Six Kingdoms raised their troops again, they would still only be crushed against the Qin Dynasty's millions of troops.
However, because of an imperial edict from the First Emperor, nearly 800,000 troops from the north and south did not go to Xianyang City to serve the king, which ultimately led to the demise of the Qin Dynasty and a dynasty change.
The next dynasty was the Han Dynasty. After several generations of development, the Han Dynasty finally destroyed the Xiongnu and ruled the countries in the Western Region for a while..."
