"After migrating the princes, he ended up in Guanzhong with the powerful clan?"
Qin Wangzheng's eyes flashed with surprise.
Zhao Gao, who was recording Zhao Tuo's words next to him, also paused with the pen in his hand.
Zhao Tuo explained: "I dare to report to your Majesty, as I said before, although our Qin army destroyed the five kingdoms, after the army withdrew, due to the few officials and long distances, our Qin State's control over the hometowns of the princes is actually limited. "
"The king has a benevolent heart for the world. After destroying the country without killing the princes, he only demoted the nobles of the five countries to common people so that they could live in their homeland. However, each prince has existed for hundreds of years, and the nobles of the five kingdoms have not been killed. Among the nobles there must be those who are loyal to the old country, such as Han Cheng and Zhang Liang today."
"They first planned the Xinzheng Incident, then attacked and killed the prime minister in Qi State and then won, persuaded the Qi people to send troops, and then assassinated my commander in Dongjun to promote the battle of Zhencheng. Although these thieves are few in number, They are lurking in the rivers and lakes, carrying out assassinations and raids at every turn. They are impossible to guard against. If they are not cleared up and raided, it will be a disaster."
Hearing this, Qin Wangzheng nodded slightly.
He originally did not pay attention to Han Cheng, Zhang Liang and other thieves from the princes who were interested in restoration.
Until the incident in Qi State sounded the alarm for Qin Wangzheng.
These little people, who seemed to him insignificant, could actually change the situation in the world and encourage Qi to send troops. If the Qi army had not been so weak in combat, the destruction of Chu would have been repeated.
The most disgusting thing is that they killed Hou Sheng, who was friendly with Qin, so that the Qin Wangzheng's original plan to surrender to Qi Wang Jian through Hou Sheng's argument after the destruction of the five kingdoms was directly aborted, disrupting Qin's process of unifying the world.
When he thought of this, Qin Wangzheng became angry and agreed with Zhao Tuo's suggestion of paying attention to these thieves.
Seeing the king nodding, Zhao Tuo's voice became louder and he continued: "The thieves from the princes are rampant in our territory of Qin, but the guards and lieutenants cannot capture them, so why?"
"They are all local powerful clans who originally belonged to the princes and countries. They control the power of counties, townships and li, and protect Han Cheng, Zhang Liang and other traitors from the princes who have rebellious intentions, allowing these rebels to circulate smoothly between counties and counties."
"In addition, when the king's decree is issued across the country, when they want to be implemented, the powerful clans will use local power to violate it, making it difficult for the king's decree to be implemented and the rebels to be caught, which damages the majesty of our Qin State's laws. Therefore. As I wish to die, I hope that the king will move the feudal lords and the powerful and wealthy households from all over the country to Guanzhong."
"First, the descendants of the princes can be monitored nearby in Guanzhong, their clans can be disrupted and separated, and they intersect with our Qin tribes, and the local pavilions can be ordered to monitor them."
"In this way, even if there are thieves like Zhang Liang and Han Cheng among these people, under the supervision of the officials of the Qin State and the head of Guizhou, they will have no choice but to act as obedient people, and nothing like the East County of Qi will happen in the future. "
"Secondly, moving the powerful and wealthy households from the princes' hometown to Guanzhong will not only replenish the population of Guanzhong and absorb the wealth they bring. It can also uproot their power from the princes' hometown and allow our Qin State to send out to govern the place. Qin officials reduced obstacles in their administration."
"After moving away these powerful clans, the local guards and lieutenants can cultivate new powerful clans who are friendly to our Qin rule. These people are supported by Qin officials, and all their power and wealth come from the kindness of the king. They are very important to us, Qin." They will definitely support the administration of the officials, and they will not dare to disobey the orders given by the king, and they can thoroughly implement the orders in the countryside."
"The two strategies I mentioned are to expand the source of students in the school and train more grammatical officials to govern the hometowns of the princes. This is the purpose. Move the nobles and powerful people from the original hometowns of the princes so that the Qin officials sent by the king can better serve Control the place, this is the form.”
"In this way, the exterior and interior are unified, and the two strategies are coordinated, then the land of Shandong will truly be ruled by the king. No one can resist the king's order!"
Zhao Tuo's eyes flashed with light.
At the end of the Qin Dynasty in history, although Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and others fired the first shot, the real main force in overthrowing the Qin Dynasty was the nobles of the Six Kingdoms.
The Xiang family, Zhao Xie, Wei Bao, Han Cheng, and Tian family, in their original homeland of the Six Kingdoms, tens of thousands of people responded to their call, and they had great influence and appeal.
If they could be moved from their original homeland of the Six Kingdoms to Guanzhong, not only would the officials and people of the Qin people be there to monitor them, but they would also be inspected when entering and exiting, making it difficult for them to escape wildly.
Moreover, there are still elite Qin lieutenant troops stationed in the Guanzhong area. Even if there is a real change in the world, these descendants of the Six Kingdoms will not dare to rebel if they are given ten courages.
As for the migration of powerful and wealthy households to Guanzhong, the purpose was to completely break up the original local structure, cooperate with the settlement of a large number of grammatical officials, and cultivate new local pro-Qin forces, which would greatly strengthen Qin's dominance over the hometown of the princes.
Completely changing the situation in which Qin was able to conquer the six kingdoms but was unable to completely control the six kingdoms' homeland was a way of strengthening the foundation and weakening the weak.
Qin Wangzheng was the master of great talents and great strategies. No one had mentioned the harm of these princes and the difficulties of governing the place to him before, so he ignored it.
Now that Zhao Tuo said this, he still didn't understand the importance of this issue and the role of Zhao Tuo's two strategies.
As Zhao Tuo's voice fell, the King of Qin held his hands and praised: "Well done, these two strategies are very good. If they can be implemented, they can indeed solve the crisis of our Qin country. Zhao Tuo, Zhao Tuo, I didn't expect that you can do more than military warfare." , there is a real talent for governing the country. The problem you raised is so serious, how can no one in the Manchu Dynasty understand it? "
Qin Wangzheng stared at Zhao Tuo with bright eyes, which made Zhao Tuo feel embarrassed. He lowered his head and said: "What I said is that only by observing along the way and understanding the princes' hometown can we gain something. The reason why the princes in the court did not say anything is because they need to be in charge. The central government is not very clear about the local situation, and it is really not the ministers who can defeat the princes."
King Qin was noncommittal and whispered: "There are so many problems with the princes' homeland. It seems that after I have established the six kingdoms, I should patrol the homeland of the princes eastward to consolidate my world."
Below, Zhao Tuo's eyelids jumped when he heard this.
I obviously only talked about migrating the nobles and powerful people from the six countries to Guanzhong. How can you, my king, think of the idea of exploring the world from the east?
Qin Wangzheng turned his head again and said to Zhao Gao, who had the same surprised look on his face: "Give the Lord Lieutenant's Mansion the suggestion that Zhao Tuo just said just now to expand the source of children in the school, and let him discuss which rank the title should be. More appropriate."
"only."
Zhao Gao immediately took the order.
Zhao Tuo was overjoyed. Just now, the king only said that the matter of expanding the source of disciples for the school would be left to Tingwei for discussion, because Tingwei is the highest authority in charge of legal affairs, and the affairs of the school are also under its jurisdiction.
At that time, the king did not decide immediately.
But now, after hearing Zhao Tuo's in-depth explanation, Qin Wangzheng changed his mind and asked Zhao Gao to send the suggestions directly to the Lord Lieutenant's Mansion, and let the Lord Lieutenant propose the title level for implementing this strategy. This was equivalent to doing it on the spot. Having decided on this policy, this is a big progress.
It can be seen that Zhao Tuo's words completely moved the king's heart.
"Training grammar officials is not something that can be accomplished overnight. I proposed it earlier. Before the destruction of Dai and Qi, we began to recruit a large number of disciples to the entrance hall. Then after the destruction of Qi, perhaps the first batch of grammar officials would come out, just to fill the gap between Qi and Dai. Earth."
Zhao Tuo felt that he had accomplished a big thing.
"The matter of the school can be implemented after the Lord Lieutenant and the Tingwei have reached an agreement."
"But after moving the princes and dealing with powerful clans. Zhao Gao, do you think this matter is feasible at this time?"
Qin Wangzheng suddenly spoke and asked Zhao Gao directly.
Zhao Gao was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the king would throw this issue on him. This was very unusual.
Zhao Gao glanced at Zhao Tuo, who was also astonished, and Qin Wangzheng, who had a faint smile on his face, and he understood something in his heart.
The king once learned from Han Feizi the art of controlling his subordinates, which is called "a hundred battles in one day".
I'm afraid this is not a test.
The king has a lot of ambitions. He wants to see whether Zhao Gao will agree with Zhao Tuo's words on military and national affairs.
Sweat broke out on Zhao Gao's forehead. He couldn't agree on the spot, nor could he completely abandon it. He had to say something meaningful.
Fortunately, Zhao Gao is a smart person, and he thought that what the king said was "Is it possible at this time" rather than "Is it possible to do this".
Zhao Gao suddenly understood. He held up his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the strategy that Young Master Zao just mentioned to move the princes, nobles and powerful people is indeed a good plan for the country. However, it is not appropriate to implement it at this time."
"Our Qin State has just conquered Jingchu, and then plans to conquer Dai and Qi, which requires a lot of national power. Moving the princes, nobles and powerful people to live in Guanzhong will not only take time but also consume military and financial resources. If it is implemented at this time, it will definitely It disrupts our Qin State’s plan to dominate the world.”
"Therefore, I believe that the king should put Jian to destroy the Qi Dynasty first. The migration policy proposed by Shao Shangzao may be slowed down and implemented after the king has established the world. Only in this way will there be no hindrance."
Qin Wangzheng nodded, turned to Zhao Tuo and said, "Do you think Zhao Gao's words are acceptable?"
Zhao Tuo said hurriedly: "What the Zhongche Mansion Order said is true. With the current situation in the world, our Qin State should focus on destroying the Qi Dynasty and put the migration of princes and nobles later."
"Ranchen believes that these two things are not in conflict. The migration policy may be implemented immediately after the Qi is destroyed, which will have the best effect."
Qin Wangzheng raised his eyebrows, and Zhao Gao narrowed his eyes.
I saw Zhao Tuo explaining: "After our Qin army destroys Qi, we can use the power of destroying Qi and use the coercion of the army to uproot all the fields and powerful clans in Qi and let them return to Guanzhong with the army. In this way It saves time and effort, and among the powerful families of the land, who dares to resist and refuse under the power of our Qin army?"
"Now that the land has begun to migrate, your Majesty will move the nobles and powerful men from the other five countries' hometowns to Guanzhong. I think their resistance will be reduced a lot."
"Therefore, I am proposing the migration strategy at this time. I also hope that after the Qi Dynasty is destroyed, the king can let the generals who lead the army implement this strategy together. In this way, we can get twice the result with half the effort!"
Zhao Tuo stared at Qin Wangzheng with bright eyes.
After a long series of preparations for the school and the migration strategy, he, Zhao Tuo, finally came to a conclusion.
Your Majesty, do you understand what I mean?
Think about destroying the position of Qi general?
