General Qin

Qin Shihuang made the decision to abolish feudalism in Kyushu, China on the spot.

His words were firm and his tone was dignified.

All the officials in the palace bowed their heads and said yes, and no one raised any objections.

It's just that most of the ministers in the palace turned their eyes to the young man standing in the ranks of generals.

The eldest son Zhao Tuo!

Ting Wei Li Si stood up against the enfeoffment system, no one was surprised, after all, enfeoffment harmed the interests of the Legalists.

But you, Zhao Tuo, as a beneficiary of the enfeoffment system, not only stood up first, but also spoke impassionedly, citing scriptures, directly attacking the loopholes in enfeoffment, and even proposed repairing Chi Road to solve the problem of remote border areas. Be prepared.

Zhao Tuo is really selfless. Is he really a saint who doesn't care about building a country?

Dr. Zhu Qing thought about it separately, some admired secretly, while others speculated and cursed in their hearts.

But no matter what, the dispute between the enfeoffment system and the county system has completely come to an end.

The emperor not only announced that the whole world should implement prefectures and counties, but also asked the prime minister, doctor Yushi, Ting Wei and others to go down to discuss the division of counties in the world, determine the number of prefectures and counties, divide the scope of each prefecture, and so on.

This court will come to an end.

Only then did Zhao Tuo heave a long sigh of relief.

The matter of enfeoffing counties and counties is a thorny issue.

Once you make a mistake in standing in line, it is very likely that your political life will be over. In the future, let alone wanting to do some big things, whether you can hold power again is a problem.

So after he was involved by Wang Wan, he had to be the first to stand up and speak out against it.

Looking at it now, the effect is not bad, at least the emperor should be satisfied with his performance.

However, when he was appreciated by the emperor, Zhao Tuo also felt a lot of malicious eyes.

Except for a very small number of enfeoffment beneficiaries who were unhappy with Zhao Tuo's destruction of their good deeds, more of them were those Confucian scholars who worked hard for the enfeoffment system and urged Wang Wan to contact the ministers to advise.

Confucianism often says self-restraint and return to ritual.

The so-called "rituals" are the rituals of the Duke of Zhou and the governance of the Duke of Zhou.

The enfeoffment system itself is a very important part of the ritual system of the Zhou Dynasty.

That is the ideal that these Confucian scholars have pursued all their lives.

Now, Zhao Tuo is standing on the opposite side of them, smashing the Confucian dream of persuading the emperor to entrust the enfeoffment at the beginning of the new dynasty.

It is impossible to say that they have no hatred for Zhao Tuo.

People like Chun Yuyue, Qi Diaobi and the others flushed with anger, glaring fiercely at the elder, clenched their fists in their sleeves tightly.

For these, Zhao Tuo is clear.

But he didn't care. If it was put in the dynasties after Qin in history and was hated by Confucianists, then he had to be careful, and he might be killed if he didn't pay attention.

But in Daqin, there is really no need to worry too much.

At this time, the court meeting ended and the emperor left.

Wang Wan glanced at Zhao Tuo with a complicated expression, and wanted to say something, but she stopped, shook her head and walked away.

The Confucian doctors standing at the end of the hall stared at Zhao Tuo one by one, but they didn't dare to step forward to provoke him. They all followed behind Wang Wan and walked out angrily.

"Master Da Shu, your rhetoric to criticize the feudalism's policy is really sharp and sharp. It hits the feudalism's vital points. It is much more powerful than the old man's previous letter of admonishing and chasing away guests."

Li Si didn't come out of the hall immediately, but came over and praised Zhao Tuo with a smile.

Zhao Tuo hurriedly said: "It's just a mere rhetoric, and Ting Wei praised An Neng Bi Tingwei's famous article that was famous all over the world."

Li Si smiled slightly, cupped his hands, turned and walked out again.

Looking at each other's back.

Zhao Tuo nodded slightly.

Li Si is showing his favor.

In this matter of feudal counties and counties, although he hated the doctors, he stood on the same front as Li Si, and with the original good relationship, he could barely be regarded as an ally.

But for this ally, Zhao Tuo would not be completely at ease.

"This is an old fox, very smart."

Thinking of Li Si taking the lead and expressing his opinion to the emperor just now, Zhao Tuo shook his head with a smile, and followed him out of the hall.

However, before Zhao Tuo took two steps, an eunuch rushed over, cupped his hands and said, "Today, the Shangzhao Da Shuchang heads to the side hall."

Zhao Tuo's footsteps faltered, and he hurriedly responded, telling Shejian who was waiting for him to go back to the mansion first, and then he followed the eunuch to the side hall.

"The emperor finally has time to summon me alone."

Zhao Tuo was very happy in his heart. Since he came back from leading the army, various major events of proclaiming the emperor and reforming the system followed. The emperor was so busy that he didn't have time to see him alone. good thing.

Qin Shihuang sat in the side hall, and when Zhao Tuo came in, he still lowered his head, looking at the scrolls on the case.

Line counties.

Naturally, he wanted to understand the scope of all parts of the world, but now he was looking at the geographical conditions of Qi, Yan, Chu and other places.

"My minister, Zhao Tuo, pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Zhao Tuo walked in, saluted and bowed down.

Only then did Qin Shihuang raise his head, carefully sizing up the young face in front of him.

Although the two had met before, they were too far apart because of the presence of other people and were distracted by other important matters. Now that they have calmed down to spend time alone, they have discovered many changes in each other.

Zhao Tuo has become much darker than before. Is it because the sun in Qidi is too strong?

He also began to grow a beard under his chin, and he could no longer be called a boy.

The immature face that was once in memory has faded away, replaced by a man who is maturing day by day.

Qin Shihuang sighed slightly in his heart.

But his expression did not change, and he said calmly: "Tell me about what you said just now."

Zhao Tuo was slightly disappointed.

Talk about business as soon as you call, what a workaholic.

But looking at the thick bamboo slips piled up in front of Qin Shihuang, Zhao Tuo still had some understanding.

The emperor regards the country as his home.

In Qin Shihuang's heart, only national affairs are the most important, and all other things have to be pushed back.

He thought for a while, and then said: "My minister thinks that the road of communication is the blood of the world. In the past, when the Qin State attacked Bashu, we dug holes to build bridges and pavilions on the cliffs. Everyone in the world fears Qin. However, the Three Jins built the "Wu Dao", and the horses and people rushed to it without waiting for tiredness, and it became the strategic main road for all Shandong countries to attack our Great Qin."

"The role of the road is so great that it is the most important link in all actions. Whether it is a conquest of a large army, logistics transportation, or an envoy's order, all need to pass through the road. The road is convenient, everything is convenient, and the road is inconvenient. inconvenient."

"Nowadays, the transportation in the world is inconvenient. The roads between the four cities are criss-crossed, narrow and muddy, and each is blocked by city embankments. This is one of the reasons that Prime Minister Zuo said that he wanted to be a prince. When I led the army to the Kanto, I often It is very inconvenient if you need to re-detour or clear the road when you encounter road blockages. This is what the army does, and so does the traffic in the world."

"One of the main reasons that prevented my Daqin from governing the remote areas is because the roads are long and obstructed, and the traffic is inconvenient. The minister thought that my Daqin should deal with this reason. The road is far away and cannot be changed, but the obstacles on the road can be opened. Remove it. The road is muddy and the traffic is inconvenient, so build a road to facilitate traffic. This, supplemented by the postal stations laid in various places, can greatly strengthen our Daqin's control over the border areas."

Qin Shihuang nodded slightly, thinking that he had gone to Handan before and went south to Jingchu and Chenying, and there were indeed difficult roads on the road.

Seeing Qin Shihuang, he nodded again and again.

Zhao Tuo took a deep breath, and completely exposed his selfishness in proposing the matter of the way.

"Moreover, the construction of Chidao traffic across the country will not only strengthen His Majesty's control over the Kyushu, but also facilitate the travel of the world's heads of Guizhou and win the hearts of the people of the world."

"Let's travel to Guizhou head of the world and win the hearts of the people of the world?"

Qin Shihuang frowned when he heard this.

Build the road.

He accepted Zhao Tuo's proposal.

But in Qin Shihuang's vision, this road is the road for his emperor to inspect and send orders to the world, and it is also the road for the army to be quickly dispatched to various places. How can the head of Guizhou also walk on it?

Zhao Tuo gritted his teeth and said, "Of course, I think that if we build roads leading to all parts of Kyushu, the length will be thousands or thousands of miles long."

"If it is only for envoys and troops to pass by, and the head of Guizhou is not allowed to travel on this road, the world will not change for a long time, and the envoys and troops will not leave Xianyang for a long time, then it will be difficult to know the situation of Chi Dao. On thousands of miles of roads, it is very easy It is possible that weeds and thorns will grow in many places, and mountain collapses and earthquake torrents will destroy road sections without anyone knowing. In this way, if there is an emergency, it will miss the national affairs.”

"It's better to allow Guishou to pass on Chidao. This will not only facilitate the travel of Guishou all over the world, but also facilitate the transportation between various places. You can also make Tingwei legislate to let the Qianshou who walk on Chidao, once they find that the section of Chidao is damaged. If there is any obstacle, it must be reported to the local government immediately."

"In this way, it will be convenient for the local governments to understand the situation of the Chidao, easy to repair and maintain, and keep it open at all times, so that they will not send envoys and troops to encounter the situation where the Chidao is destroyed in an emergency."

Qin Shihuang frowned slightly.

What Zhao Tuo said is a reason.

Letting Qianshou walk on the road is equivalent to having more channels to monitor the situation of the road section, but this reason can be replaced by other methods.

For example, legislating local governments to regularly send people on horseback to inspect various sections of Chidao can also achieve the effect Zhao Tuo said.

Qin Shihuang shook his head lightly.

Seeing his appearance, Zhao Tuo knew that he had not convinced the other party, so he immediately gave the second reason.

"And I believe that letting the heads of Guizhou also pass on Chidao will not only allow them to patrol the road conditions at all times, but also make them grateful for His Majesty's road-building virtues, and make them more loyal and surrender to His Majesty."

"Thank you for my road-building virtue?"

Qin Shihuang blinked.

Zhao Tuo immediately said: "Of course, on the road, at intervals, you can carve stones and paint pictures to remember your majesty's achievements in opening up roads for the head of Guizhou. At the same time, let the law officials and small officials from all over the country publicize this to the head of Guizhou. achievement."

"Doing this, the head of Guizhou, the world's leader, will be grateful to His Majesty's kindness in his heart every time he walks on the galloping road and personally feels the convenience of this magnificent avenue!"

"At the same time, let the officials from all over the place preach the cruelty of the six kings, only care about their own selfish desires, and build palaces to waste people's money. But your majesty has the hearts of all people in the world, and the road he built is also to appease the head of Guizhou. In this way, a contrast can be formed, and the world will People who are disgusted by the violence of the six kings are grateful for your majesty's kindness."

"In this way, not only will the head of Guizhou in the world patrol the roads for our Great Qin, but it will also take the opportunity to win the hearts of the people and help our Great Qin to stabilize the world!"

In the end, Zhao Tuo threw out a reason that had the greatest appeal to Qin Shihuang.

"In the old days, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors cut thorns, built small roads, and connected the city walls, so that people will remember their achievements."

"Now, His Majesty has built a broad road for the people of the world, so that the people of the world can travel. His merits are far greater than that of the emperors in ancient times. Only in this way is he worthy of the title of emperor! It can even be praised by all people in the world. Your Majesty is the emperor of all people in the world. !"

Hearing the end, Qin Shihuang's eyes were filled with splendor.

Zhao Tuo's proposal is not only beneficial, but also famous, and can win the hearts of the people, help to stabilize the world, and make his emperor's name even higher.

Why not do it?

"Okay! Your words are very good. If I cultivate the way, all people can travel. Only in this way can I become the emperor of all people in the world!"

Qin Shihuang nodded in praise, which already approved Zhao Tuo's proposal.

Hearing this, Zhao Tuo hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Zhao Tuo was very happy in his heart, and his goal was achieved.

What happened this time was not something he came up with in a flash of his head, but a thought after careful consideration, with his own selfishness.

Zhao Tuo proposed to build Chidao ahead of time, which could not only counter Wang Wan's argument that the traffic was inconvenient and it was difficult to manage the border areas.

And it will also allow him, Zhao Tuo, to have ample say in Chi Dao.

From later generations, he had heard that Qin Zhi's road cost a lot of people's power, but it was only for the emperor's parade and envoy troops to pass, and the common people in the head of Guizhou were not allowed to leave.

In this way, the Chidao built with a lot of people's resources is not beneficial to the people. This is one of the reasons why later generations criticized Qin Shihuang more.

Although there are also sayings, only the middle section of Yan Chi Road is the emperor's special road where traffic is prohibited, and the head of Guizhou can walk on both sides.

But Zhao Tuo didn't dare to gamble on this statement. In case this statement is guessed by later generations, when Chidao is raised by others next year, if they say that Guishou is not allowed to pass through, then Chidao will become the same waste of people's energy as in history. The process of making things easier for the people will only lead to complaints and make Qin lose the hearts of the people.

And even if it is true that Qianshou can walk on both sides, it will be very inconvenient if he cannot pass through the middle road. Think about it, you can only walk on one side of a road that is hundreds of miles long. If you cross the middle, it is a crime and you will be sentenced.

So if someone wants to go across the road for something, what should they do? In the era without viaducts, how to run to the opposite side?

Therefore, Zhao Tuo first proposed to build the Chidao, and as the proposer suggested that the people in the head of Guizhou could walk the Chidao and fully open it, which would really turn this big project into a good thing for the benefit of the people.

Later generations often say: If you want to get rich, build roads first.

It can be seen how much a good road has an impact on economic development and social development.

And Zhao Tuo's move not only turned a project that harmed the people in history into a project that benefited the people, and won the hearts of the people all over the world, but even relied on public opinion to publicize the selfishness and cruelty of the monarchs of the six countries, and hit the leaders of the six countries against the six countries. Heart of support.

And maintain the original purpose of building Chidao, strengthen the Qin Central Committee's management of various places, and facilitate the mobilization of troops.

It can be said to serve multiple purposes.

Of course, the most important thing is that Zhao Tuo changed another major event in the original history.

He changed the emperor's mind.

Starting from Chidao, the emperor was changed little by little.

Zhao Tuo raised his head.

Looking at the first emperor on the emperor's couch.

He murmured in his heart.

"I want you to become a real good emperor!"

The big chapter has 4,000 words, so I wrote it later. It seems that during the special period, the comment chapters on the entire platform are not displayed these days, and it will be fine in a few days. However, the comments left can be seen in the background. After a few days, they should be displayed again.

"Longgang Qin Bamboo Slips": Anyone who dares to walk in the middle of the road will move away; his riders, as well as rides in carts, and carts... are not included in their carts, horses, and cattle.

The unearthed Qin bamboo slips show that ordinary officials and the head of Guizhou are not allowed to travel along the road. Once discovered, they will be sentenced to exile and all the vehicles and horses they ride will be confiscated.
