Chapter 879: Lin Xiangru and Lian Po’s Descendants
Now, the nobles' attitude towards Qin An is one of love and hate.
What I love is that Qin An has brought huge benefits to the nobles, but what I hate is that their status has plummeted, and they are on an equal footing with farmers, workers, and businessmen.
Only businessmen, their status has skyrocketed, which has also led to all businessmen in the world worshiping Qin An as a god.
As long as Qin An said a word, they would do whatever he asked them to do.
But nobles don't. They have to consider not only their own safety and reputation, but also the entire family.
Moreover, nobles also attach great importance to reputation and status.
Just because they are nobles, they should be superior to others, but now they are on an equal footing with a group of people they look down on. How can they be willing to accept it?
The unwilling nobles had an idea in their minds: to change the dynasty and restore their original superior status, but they could not let them lose Qin An, a person who could bring them huge wealth.
So some nobles began to have evil thoughts.
If funding those anti-Qin forces before was out of necessity and purely for a good relationship, then funding the anti-Qin forces now is entirely for the sake of their nobles.
How could Qin An not know their thoughts? Although it is said that the construction of Handan City requires the financial resources of the nobles, it does not mean that the financial resources of the nobles are definitely needed.
As long as Qin An is willing, he is fully capable of raising enough funds to build Handan City.
Now it's up to these nobles to take care of their business. If they don't take care of their business, then all their property will be confiscated directly.
If it's timely affairs, give them a business.
"I've said everything that needs to be said. If you don't want to stand up, then don't blame me for being ruthless." Qin An said again.
"Master." A nobleman said, "I am a villain with integrity, and my father is Lian Po. I can responsibly tell Master that the Lian family has never funded anti-Qin forces."
"My Lin family has never funded any anti-Qin forces." A nobleman said, "The villain Lin Chen has met the emperor's master, my father Lin Xiangru."...
Qin An was stunned and said: "Lian Po and Lin Xiangru are a pair of famous people. As generals and prime ministers of Zhao State, they left many stories behind. As their descendants, don't you want to restore the country?"
"I don't want to." Lin Chen said directly, "After my father died of illness, he said that the Zhao country could not be saved, so it was better to let it die."
Lian Ji said: "King Zhao did not trust my father and forced him away, which eventually led to his being tricked and killed in the Battle of Changping. This shows that King Zhao is not a wise master at all.
More importantly, after my father left the Kingdom of Zhao, King Zhao wanted to use us to force my father to return to the Kingdom of Zhao.
In the end, my father didn't come back. It was said that he died of depression, so King Zhao let us go.
Under such circumstances, does the emperor think that I will still help the anti-Qin forces? "
Hearing this, Qin An shook his head and said, "Although King Zhao is not the master, Qin is also the murderer who indirectly caused your father's death.
Don't you hate this at all? "
"Hate." Lin Chen said without hesitation, "But the general trend is now, even if I hate you again, I can't go against the people of the world.
If Great Qin is going to fall, I won’t be left alone to fight against Qin. If Great Qin is going to rise, then I won’t be left out to help.
Therefore, I did not participate in fighting Qin, nor did I participate in helping Qin. Our two families just wanted to live their own lives. "
"Don't you want your family to grow?"
"I didn't want to at first, but now I do." Lin Chen said again.
"Why is this?" Qin An asked curiously.
"Because of the Imperial Master." Lin Chen said.
"because I?"
"Yes." Lin Chen said, "Because the Imperial Master has given us hope and allowed the people of the world to see hope.
Before the emperor's master appeared, I couldn't see any hope for the Qin Dynasty. I admit that the First Emperor unified the six countries and unified China. This achievement should be remembered by future generations.
However, during the reign of the First Emperor, he slaughtered people at will
Killing, the strict laws, the tyrannical rule as fierce as a tiger, and the never-ending corvee all leave us without any hope.
However, just when everyone thought that after the death of the First Emperor, the anti-Qin forces in the world all turned against Qin.
The Imperial Master has appeared, and you are like a guiding light, guiding Great Qin to become stronger and stronger, giving the people hope.
And this hope is better than we imagined. If we ask ourselves, the hope brought by the Imperial Master is something that no country can give.
In this case, why should we oppose Qin and destroy all this.
If there is a war, all life will be devastated. At that time, everything brought by the Imperial Master may disappear.
Who wants to see their hard-earned good days ruined? "
Qin An nodded and said: "What you said makes sense. The knowledge I brought is the knowledge from two thousand years later. Even if it is placed in the later dynasties, it can bring them unimaginable benefits.
To put it more arrogantly, as long as you give me twenty years, or at most fifty years, I can rule the whole world.
If it were now, it would be easier, because in this era, many future countries have not yet formed a country, and they are all in barbaric lands. There are some barbarians, and they can be occupied by just sending a few hundred people.
Then use them as slaves, they will not resist at all, and they will think it is a miracle when they see magical things.
Maybe a bronze sword can be used as a magic weapon for them.
These countries have humiliated China for more than a hundred years in later generations, and they stand in front of the Chinese people and show off their power. ..
We gave them the title of foreign adults. This title can make us Chinese people dwarf forever.
Even if they kill Chinese people, they will not be punished in any way, and the government will blame the Chinese people for resisting. "
"What did you say?" Lin Chen suddenly became furious.
Although he is not involved in political affairs and will not help anyone, it does not mean that he can tolerate the bullying of future generations.
"This is a fact, there is no way to deny it." Qin An said, "If you want to know, I can tell you some major events in history afterwards.
Now let me tell you clearly whether I want peace or war. "
"Peace." Lin Chen and Lian Ji said at the same time.
Qin An nodded, then looked at the other nobles and said solemnly: "What about you?"
The other nobles trembled. They felt Qin An's murderous intent, and immediately a noble stood up and said: "Peace, I want peace."
"We also want peace." Other nobles spoke one after another.
Qin An nodded and said, "Okay. In that case, you will explain clearly how to assist the 50,000-strong army.
Don't worry, I won't arrest you. But if you have anything to hide, then don’t blame me for being rude.
An army of 50,000 attacking a city is no small matter. The city may be breached sooner or later, so I may be caught.
But I don’t want to be caught by them and would rather die than obey. Therefore, I will use all of you as my backing before I die. "
