Chapter 785 Comprehensive National Strength
"Don't worry. I not only want to convince King Yan, but also all the anti-Qin forces in Qi, Chu, Zhao, Han and Wei." Qin An said, "I said that if we want to unify China, we must unify China.
Since reunification is needed, no anti-Qin forces will be allowed in the country. I want the entire Da Qin people to contribute to the future of China.
I won’t talk about anything else. I’ll just talk about how countries will compare in the future. "
"Of course it's military power." Meng Yi said, "Only with strong military power will other countries be afraid of you."
Others nodded, Da Qin was able to destroy the other six countries because of its strong military power.
Qin An shook his head and said: "Military power is just one of them. In the future, the competition between countries will be comprehensive national strength.
The so-called comprehensive national strength includes a country’s social nature, resources and environment, population, political power, economic situation, history, culture and thought, military and national defense, and foreign relations. .Ь.
It is the most important indicator to measure a country's basic national conditions and basic resources, and is also a comprehensive indicator to measure a country's economic, political, military and technological strength.
Competition in comprehensive national strength is mainly reflected in five aspects: basic entities, economic power, military power, internal affairs and diplomacy, science and technology. "
"Sir, what is the overall national strength of Great Qin?" Meng Yi asked.
"If the Qin Dynasty had not unified the six countries, its overall national power was stronger than other countries, and now it has unified the six countries.
Then the overall national strength has changed, the population has increased, political power has begun to concentrate, but social instability has emerged. Military defense has also changed. It used to defend the Six Kingdoms, but now it defends the Huns.
In the past, there was only one country's military strength, but now there are six countries' military strength. I know that after the Qin Dynasty destroyed the Six Kingdoms. The vast majority of the troops from the Six Nations were absorbed by the imperial court.
Economically, agriculture was emphasized and business was suppressed, so it can be imagined that technology was basically something invented by Mohists and public losers. At most, it was some improvement in military technology, but nothing else. Qin An explained.
"That's not right." Meng Yi said, "Sir, the economy is very developed now, and the imperial court no longer emphasizes agriculture and suppresses business."
Qin An said speechlessly: "I know, I'm talking about the past and now, of course he is number one in the world, whether it is military, culture or education.
As for diplomacy, well, all countries in the world will take the initiative to have good relations with Da Qin. Other countries are simply not comparable.
Needless to say, ten years later, let's just say that now, Daqin is already the well-deserved number one in the world. The only shortcoming is the population.
There will be a population of 1.4 billion in future generations, and the current population is not even a fraction of the population of future generations.
This made me afraid to take too big steps.
If there were 1.4 billion people now, the first thing I would do would be to build a road to the whole world.
In this way, you can attack the whole world, occupy a place, and have Chinese people guard it.
It's a pity that all of these are beautiful dreams. If you want to realize them, you need to wait a few more years. Moreover, domestic road construction also needs to be done slowly, and you cannot build too long roads all at once. "
"Sir, please rest assured. We will definitely increase the population of Daqin." Meng Yi said.
Qin An nodded and said: "I believe in you, and I also believe in Da Qin. Okay, that's enough, it's time for us to set off.
In the car, I will tell you about my future China’s politics, economy, military, education and other contents. I hope you can get inspiration from it. "
In the following time, everyone was not very bored. Every day Qin An was talking about something about the future or telling some stories.
Especially when talking about each dynasty and each generation, from the beginning of their country's founding to its prosperity to its final fall, everyone is learning from it.
This made Zhang Liang and others realize that the revival and demise of a dynasty had a lot to do with the emperor.
If the emperor is strong, the country will be strong; if the emperor is weak, the country will be weak.
Although the ability of ministers is also important, a
A powerful emperor can be a meritocracy. If this minister is not good enough, you can find a minister who can do it. .Ь.
The most important thing in China is talent, even when the country is in crisis. There are also many capable people who can turn the tide.
But once the emperor becomes a coward, a tyrant, or a self-righteous emperor, the country will be in danger.
Maybe you are lucky. Your parents have laid a strong family background for you, allowing you to be a conservative king for several generations before the country is finally destroyed.
Although Zhang Liang, Meng Yi and Gan Luo were ministers, they felt lucky to have such a powerful emperor as the First Emperor.
Only by working under a powerful and wise emperor can their talents and learning have a chance to develop.
After more than ten days of traveling, they arrived at Daliang, the capital of Wei State, now just a city among the cities of Da Qin. .Ь.
In fact, they had other ways to go to Yan, but Qin An chose to go through Daliang. The reason was simple, because Daliang was the capital of Wei.
Although it is not the case now, as the King of Wei, he will not be willing to leave here, and is even ready to return to the country at any time.
If you want to restore the country, the world must first be in chaos.
If you want the world to be in chaos, you have to have the First Emperor die.
Qin An was very sure that the current King of Wei was an ordinary citizen on the surface, but in fact he controlled some forces in Daliang City.
And these forces controlled the entire anti-Qin forces in Wei, but they were all dormant now. The court and local officials didn't know about it, or they didn't touch them even if they knew about it.
This is the generosity of the First Emperor.
How could Ying Zheng not know that after he unified the six kingdoms, the people of the six kingdoms only obeyed on the surface, but were anti-Qin in their hearts?
He could kill those people, but he could not kill all the people in the world, so he used corvee services to transfer the people of Wei to Qi, and the people of Qi to Zhao, and brought chaos to the people of each country. They cannot unite to fight against Qin.
In fact, this trick was very good, but when it was implemented, the officials or soldiers were too violent, which caused the people to complain, and in the end they all hated Da Qin.
The reason for all this is still the system of the Qin Dynasty. Ying Zheng was still implementing Shang Yang's system. This system became obsolete after Qin unified the six countries.
Continuing to implement it will only accelerate the demise of Great Qin.
"Sir, Daliang City has arrived." Meng Yi said.
Qin An nodded and said: "Let me know, we will rest for three days before setting off."
"promise."
Everyone was excited when they learned that the break would allow them to start again.
This was a public trip, and they didn't have to spend a penny on the whole journey, so after everyone arrived at the inn, the first thing they did was visit Daliang City.
In this regard, Qin An has no restrictions on anyone, but only one requirement, that is, they cannot leave anyone behind in three days, so everyone has an unwritten agreement that they must not drink alcohol on the last night.
