Chen Ke lowered his head and said nothing.
It’s better not to speculate on the emperor’s intentions at this time.
"Your Majesty, I don't know."
Ying Zheng looked at Chen Ke, his eyes slightly lowered, looking at the wine baron in his hand, as if there was something interesting about the wine baron.
"Is it?"
There was playfulness in his voice: "If you didn't know, you wouldn't be in this state."
Ying Zheng stood up, his expression calm and intimidating.
He looked at Chen Ke: "Tell me what you think."
“The moment the paper comes out, you should already have this idea. "
"You should still have the so-called "God-given artifact" in your hand, right? "
"For example, technology that can mass-produce books?"
Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes, and for the first time, his power was completely revealed.
Blows like a violent storm.
Chen Ke is like a small boat in the wind and rain, swaying with the wind and rain.
At this moment, the two faced each other silently.
Chen Ke sighed and slowly stood up straight.
"Your Majesty, what are you worried about?"
"At least, you want me to know what you are worried about, right?"
Ying Zheng put down his wine glass, and the wine maker made a crisp collision sound with the table.
"What am I worried about?"
Ying Zheng looked at Chen Ke with an unusually calm expression.
"If you want to deal with Confucianism and make Confucianism panic, then you must start from the foundation they have laid out for decades."
"For example, "books" and "knowledge". "
"Confucianism now makes most scholars in the world read Confucianism, so you want people in the world to read other books."
"So you took out the paper"
"Then, maybe there will be other things that can print books?"
Although Ying Zheng's words were full of speculation, his voice was very certain.
"You will even bring out the ideas of other schools of thought from hundreds of schools of thought to compete with Confucianism for scholars."
“Reducing the Power of Confucianism.”
"The final fatal blow to Confucianism."
After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he looked at Chen Ke who was standing there: "Am I right?"
Chen Ke sighed.
Although I have never underestimated the wisdom of my old friends from the beginning, I have given them enough attention.
But deep down, I am still separated from this era, with the superiority of modern people.
I feel that no one in ancient times could see through my own layout.
But one thing was overlooked, that is, even if the ministers around him couldn't see through it, could it be that the first emperor of the world couldn't see through it either?
only.....
Chen Ke still didn't understand why the First Emperor, who had always been obsessed with immortality, decided that "paper" was not a gift from immortals.
It's the technology you have in your own hands.
If the First Emperor believed what he said, as he expected.
Although he may be sent to refine pills after that, at least he doesn’t have to go now.
At least while he's still useful, you don't have to worry about this problem.
He raised his head, his eyes showing the second wave after coming to Da Qin.
"How did your Majesty guess this?"
Chen Ke's voice was filled with helplessness and respect, and deep in his tone there was a hint of ridicule that the First Emperor could not hear or understand.
"I thought that Your Majesty would believe what I said about immortals and gods entering dreams."
With a smile on his face, Ying Zheng looked at Chen Ke and said, "Chen Ke, have you forgotten?"
"When you entered the court as an official three years ago, you took out the thing that the Mo family had secretly hidden."
"Is this the position of Young Master that I have conferred upon you?"
"Back then, I was just guessing whether there were any remnants of the Mo family in your hands."
"It's just that you have been keeping to yourself these past few years, and later you got closer to Chunyu."
"I thought you didn't have any more, so I just let you go."
"When you took out the "paper" that day, I knew it, but what the gods said was a good thing for me and for Da Qin. "
"That's the truth."
Ying Zheng said casually: "Since I have answered your doubts, why don't you also answer my doubts?"
"What are you going to do?"
"If it is because of your actions that the people of the world are ambitious, it will put the Qin Dynasty in a crisis of turmoil."
"I won't agree to it, and you won't be able to do it either."
Ying Zheng looked indifferent at this time, as if the usual favors were fake.
The power of the king is unpredictable.
Chen Ke said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this involves two different measures for the people."
"In your opinion, is it better to keep people ignorant or to be intelligent to a certain extent?"
Ying Zheng squinted his eyes, and he keenly noticed that there was a qualifier before "Zhimin" in Chen Ke's words.
"To a certain extent"
"What is a certain level of wisdom?"
Chen Ke smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, people are often brave when they are ignorant."
"Do you agree with this?"
A look of surprise flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes.
People are most brave when they are ignorant?
What does it mean?
"Oh? What do you mean by this?"
Chen Ke looked at Ying Zheng. At this time, he and Ying Zheng were kneeling opposite each other with serious expressions.
"Your Majesty, suppose you are an ordinary person now."
"You know nothing about Qin's laws, and you know nothing about pain."
"You don't know that breaking Qin's laws will lead to death. You don't know what breaking Qin's laws means. You don't even know what death is."
"Are you afraid of violating Qin's laws?"
"If the Six Kingdoms are still at war now, you are a person who doesn't understand anything."
"One day, you suddenly met a man from Yan State."
"This man tells you that if you send something outside the city, you can get thousands of gold."
"You looked at the thing in your hand and realized that you didn't recognize the words on it and didn't know what it was."
"So you sent it out."
"It turns out this is the city map and troop distribution of Hangu Pass."
"At this time, have you violated Qin's laws?"
Ying Zheng seemed to understand, but also seemed not to understand.
"Offended."
Chen Ke asked again: "What will you do?"
Ying Zheng replied: "I will die, and I will be charged with treason."
Chen Ke spoke again: "This means that he doesn't know anything. Is he good for Da Qin?"
Ying Zheng was silent for a moment and shook his head slightly: "It seems not."
Chen Ke asked again: "Assuming all other conditions remain unchanged, a person can read and know that it is the city map of Hangu Pass."
"But this person doesn't know the laws of Qin. He doesn't know that collaborating with the enemy and treason is a capital crime."
"What would you do in front of the rich money someone gave you?"
Ying Zheng hesitated for a moment: "Most people will choose to give it away."
"Because they didn't know they were going to die."
Chen Ke smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, these are still stupid people."
"But if the conditions were changed."
"We will popularize the Qin Law in the world, so that everyone, even the illiterate, will know the Qin Law."
"Just like Shang Jun back then"
"Do you think this person will send the city map out of the city at this time?"
