Hearing this, Ying Xi raised his head and looked at Zhao Ying carefully for a long time. Zhao Ying faced him calmly without any hesitation, and finally a smile appeared on the corner of Ying Xi's mouth.
"good!"
Although the Qin Dynasty admired Legalism and started with the way of kings and dominators, driving the people like weapons, it did not understand the principle of treating the people well. In fact, if you read the Qin Dynasty's legal slips carefully, in addition to many harsh punishments, there are also many Articles related to people's livelihood and pensions for the elderly and orphans.
In some aspects, it is even worse than that of later generations.
"Those who hide their childhood, or declare their disabilities incorrectly, Li Dian and Wu Lao should be punished, and the common people should not be exempted from old age, or those who should be exempted from old age without reporting or dare to commit fraud will be punished with a fine of two grades; Li Dian and Wu Lao will be punished. If you do not report, each will be fined a guilder; for those who are in the same group, each family will be fined a guilder, and they will all be exiled."
This is what was recorded on the "Bamboo Slips from the Qin Tomb in Sleeping Tiger Land" unearthed by later generations.
The penalties for those who fail to implement pension policies, commit fraud, and deceive superiors and subordinates are quite severe. Moreover, under this frequent sit-down and compulsory mass supervision mechanism, it is actually conceivable to what extent it can be implemented.
But really no one has proposed this kind of charity system.
No one is willing to spend such a large sum of money to set up a charity hall and distribute real money to those in need of help. Even the eldest son Fusu, who held high the banner of Confucianism and shouted every day to implement benevolent government and treat the people well, had never been there before.
If the eldest son’s benevolence and love for the people are reflected in his ideas and charisma, His Royal Highness the Emperor Changsun has actually implemented it in action. He did not shout any slogans or make any unnecessary actions, and then just like that The charity hall was launched quietly.
The most rare thing is that compared with the eldest son Fusu, the emperor's eldest grandson not only has this kind of benevolent governance, but also has domineering and military exploits.
"Your Highness, if you have any use for me, just ask - although I am old, I am in good health and can still ride a strong horse, shoot a strong bow, and can be driven..."
When Zhao Ying heard this, he bowed deeply and solemnly.
"The boy is young and has weak morals, and he is not popular among the people. This move is not only to help the orphans and the elderly, but also to help with education. It is also for the reputation of our Qin royal family. Therefore, those who are not highly virtuous and respected by everyone are not enough to shoulder important responsibilities. The boy has watched the government and the public, and he is not Wei. Yang Jun is not enough to take charge of his affairs..."
When Ying Xi heard this, he couldn't help laughing, pointed Zhao Ying with his finger, and joked.
"Your Highness, are you planning to kill me?"
After saying that, without waiting for Zhao Ying to speak, he nodded seriously.
"His Highness values you, I dare not try my best to do this for His Highness..."
As a veteran who has been immersed in the Great Qin court for decades, and a member of the royal family who almost took over the position of King of the Great Qin, he naturally knew that this was a gesture of goodwill from His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson of the Emperor.
But he couldn't refuse this offer.
Because this is an achievement that can shadow future generations.
…
You're done.
Zhao Ying did not stay at Ying Xi's side and said goodbye directly.
During this period of time, the money I collected was a bit troublesome. The reason why I am still safe and sound is because of the unabashed pampering of the First Emperor. I don’t know how many people are staring at me——
Maybe, some people give themselves gifts just to dig holes for themselves.
Therefore, he simply took advantage of the situation and took out the money, and even added a sum of his own to establish the Da Qin Royal Charity Hall. I took the money, but I did it as a charity. I gave it to the widows, widowers, the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the poor scholars who were aspiring to learn.
Come and attack me if you have the ability.
But now that it is established, it must be allowed to play the role it should play.
We cannot let it become a tool used by some people to make huge profits, or even to support outsiders. Once someone uses someone other than a human being, it will not bring virtue to Da Qin, but bring evil to Da Qin.
Therefore, he chose the highly respected Ying Xi and the outstanding Zhou Yin.
Although he was not familiar with Zhou Yin, he believed that such a person who could manage to become the Grand Sima under Xiang Yu and become the top military and political leader would definitely not be a short-sighted person.
Now, with Ying Xi in charge of Charity Hall, and Zhou Yin assisting in coordination, the theme framework has been completed, and the only thing left is to officially launch it.
He came from a later generation, so naturally he would not be so naive as to think that just a single move of his own would be enough to change the current situation of poverty and weakness among the people at the bottom of Da Qin.
Perhaps, this charity hall can really help some people in need, but he actually knows in his heart that the main purpose of launching this charity is to win the hearts and minds of the Qin royal family and win public opinion.
People's hearts are actually very easy to satisfy. You only need to give them a little hope, and they will sincerely praise you.
He didn't want to think that if one day the country collapsed and everyone in the world shouted to defeat the violent Qin, when he reached the end of his road and asked for directions on the roadside, passers-by would point him to the swamp.
That would be such a failure...
…
Of course, at this moment, the person being congratulated by His Highness the Emperor Changsun did not know that someone was secretly connoting him in his heart at this moment. He was holding a telescope and looking keenly at the enemy camp in front of him.
Behind them, the army that had expanded to 20,000 people stood in silence.
The blood-stained flags, those battle robes with a dark red background that could no longer be cleaned, and the mottled marks on the armor all showed what this army had gone through.
This is a truly powerful army.
Just standing there, he was full of murderous intent, with a tragic and sharp aura.
At this time, these people were all looking feverishly at the tall figure in front of them, holding a halberd and riding a black horse.
Since entering the grassland, now those who attack are defeated and those who stand in the way are destroyed.
The direction of the military front will always lead to disadvantage.
There were more than twenty battles, big and small, with consecutive victories and never a defeat.
Now, they have finally become a powerful force that no one can ignore on the grassland. Even Maodun Chanyu, who fought with King Donghu to death on the front line, had to temporarily break up with King Donghu, turn around and prepare for the attack. Start by chewing up this nasty bug.
"General, this time Maodun Xiao'er seems to have become ruthless. A hundred and fifty thousand troops have gathered in this area. The general leading the army is Huyan Baduo, who is known as the first commander of the Xiongnu..."
The lieutenant of the scout camp who returned with his team again looked a little serious.
"This Huyan Baduo is coming in a menacing manner, and he even promised that he would gather us here and annihilate him."
A trace of disdain flashed across Xiang Yu's expression.
"Huyan Batuo is just a withered bone in a grave, but he still dares to speak arrogant words——"
After speaking, he turned around and raised the halberd in his hand high.
"Gale!"
"Gale——"
"Gale——"
"Gale——"
The sound of roaring mountains and tsunami suddenly sounded behind him.
"Follow me for a decisive battle!"
After saying that, he pushed the black horse under his crotch, raised the halberd in his hand, and rushed out first.
Behind him, the soldiers holding big flags followed closely, and the disciples responsible for spying on the enemy camp followed him closely with their long swords raised. Following General Xiang makes his blood boil every time...
This is the most powerful general he has ever seen, second only to His Royal Highness the Emperor Changsun.
As long as he charges forward, you can always trust in his power.
Invincible!
…
"General Qi, Tu Yu's tribe has taken the lead in launching a charge against us..."
The large tent of the Huns' central army.
Hu Yanbatuo, the commander-in-chief of the three armies in charge of this war, was silently looking at the map in front of him. Although the number of people on the opposite side was small, only 20,000, which was not enough even for his leader, he did not dare to underestimate the terrifying power of this army.
Because the other party relied on this army of less than 20,000 to forcefully drag down the Xiongnu's expedition to Donghu, and achieved blinding results one after another.
Forcing Modun Chanyu to have an affair with the proud and arrogant King Donghu, he sent ministers and grinded his lips, in exchange for King Donghu's forgiveness and his willingness to send troops to block the opponent's retreat.
And they Xiongnu can also take this opportunity to deal with the people behind them with all their strength——
Therefore, as soon as he came up, he adopted the safest method, connecting end to end, attacking steadily, taking advantage of his strength, constantly squeezing the activity space of this army, and not giving this army any chance to speculate.
He expected various reactions from this army, but he never expected that the opponent's general would dare to ignore the huge gap in strength and brazenly take the lead in launching a charge against his own army.
It almost made him think that he had brought 20,000 troops, but the other party had brought 150,000 troops.
Although he was shocked in his heart, there was a look of disdain on his face.
"A mere remnant of 20,000 soldiers still dares to tease my Huns tiger beard - you are really looking for death!"
After saying that, he slapped the table and looked around.
"I must keep this kid's head today and dig it out to serve wine with me!"
The battle between the two sides started quickly.
Although Huyan Batuo shouted slogans loudly, it seemed that if no one stopped him, he would rush out and fight the opponent desperately, but once the war started, he would be as safe as an old turtle. More than 200,000 people , allowing him to forcefully set up nine lines of defense in front of him.
Brave and good at fighting, right?
That general is waiting for you to fall into his trap!
When you rush in front of me, I want to see how much courage you have left.
The war started with a bang.
The "Tu Yu Tribe", which numbered only about 20,000 people, launched a brazen charge against the hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu and Donghu coalition forces.
The war horses are galloping, and the halberds are raised.
Everyone was staring at the tall figure in front of him, holding his halberd level and leading the way.
Wouldn't it be heroic to charge with the army?
…
Yuyang County.
These days, Han Xin, who has completely controlled the local military strength, is happily walking in the backyard with his wife. His wife is Feng Quji's granddaughter, named Feng Wan. She has a beautiful appearance and a gentle expression. She is a first-rate beauty.
At this moment, she was half leaning in Han Xin's arms, a pair of delicate palms gently holding her still flat belly, with no trace of it, and her face was full of maternal glory.
"Ma'am, be careful of the steps -"
Han Xin carefully supported his wife's arm, fearing that he might accidentally disturb her fetus.
"If Madam feels bored staying at home, I will take you out for a walk tomorrow morning - although this Yuyang County is not as prosperous as Xianyang, it does have a different flavor..."
What Han Xin said had a different flavor, and it was not an empty lie.
Although Xianyang is the capital of the country, which is extraordinary, Yuyang County is far away from the capital, and the restrictions on business are not that serious, so there are many shops and it is quite lively.
Listening to her husband's thoughtful words, the smile on Feng Wan's lips couldn't help but spread. Even though Han Xin was used to seeing his wife's appearance, he couldn't help but be dazzled by her appearance.
Lost consciousness for a while.
The newly married couple found out they were pregnant not long ago, which made Han Xin couldn't help but feel ecstatic, and he even became more considerate to his wife, which made Feng Wan feel more and more satisfied.
"That's just right. I heard that the weather in Yuyang County got cold early. I was thinking of going out to cut two feet of cloth and make some new clothes to keep out the cold with my husband. When I go out, I can buy some on the way..."
Han Xin was naturally helpless in this regard.
Although he himself was born into a poor family, he actually did not value material life very much.
However, at this time, he naturally would not reject his wife's kindness.
"So just right..."
While he was talking, he suddenly heard rapid footsteps coming from outside. Hearing this, Han Xin couldn't help but stop and looked up. He saw that it was the deputy general of his army who was coming in a hurry. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly and relaxed. My wife’s jade hands.
Feng Wan also took the initiative to retreat.
Her husband is now in charge of the army of a county and is busy with official duties. Naturally, he has many secrets to keep busy. Naturally, she does not want to hear this and embarrass her husband.
"I've met Madam..."
The deputy general who came to visit saw Feng Wan and was about to leave. He quickly stepped aside to give way and stood aside, slightly cupping his hands to say hello.
Feng Wan smiled and nodded.
"General, go and get busy..."
When Feng Wan was far away, the deputy general with a medium build and a stern face said seriously.
"General Qi, as you expected, Mao Dun'er and King Dong Hu reached an agreement, and the two sides were in agreement - Mao Dun's army moved back and returned all the occupied territories of Dong Hu without compensation, and King Dong Hu took the opportunity to kill the Xiongnu. For a sum of money, he even sent his elite in front of the account to help..."
When Han Xin heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and an imperceptible smile appeared in the corners of his eyes.
"The time has come!"
After saying that, he looked around.
"Come here, prepare your horses!"
Soon, the two men and a group of soldiers roared out from the county captain's mansion and went straight to the county soldiers' camp in the north of the city.
Yuyang County is an important border town, and the troops stationed here are veterans of many battles in the Qin Dynasty.
On the contrary, there were a small number of soldiers stationed in the city, and most of them were surrendered soldiers from Guyan. These veterans of the Qin Dynasty were all concentrated in the military camp between the northern part of Yuyang County and the Great Wall.
However, the number of people was not very large. Including those stationed in the city, there were only more than 20,000 people.
But now, under Han Xin's training, this team, which was originally the elite of the Qin Dynasty, has become more and more impressive and has a strict formation.
Han Xin kept walking, held his sword in his hand, and went straight to the Chinese army's tent.
"Pass my military orders, beat the drums to gather the generals——"
