Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 17 The tour is not over yet, the first emperor wants to return!

Right now, the tour of the world is drawing to a close...

Except for the occasional assassination, the whole of Daqin seemed to be calm.

But the first emperor knew clearly that all peace was only based on the fact that he was still alive.

He could clearly feel the undercurrent surging between the world.

Up to the court, the conflict between the old military nobles and the newly promoted military nobles, down to the seemingly conquered lands of the Six Kingdoms, the common people still do not know the Qin law, the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms seem to have been deprived of their titles, but in fact they still control with local economics and politics.

This is unavoidable.

With the unification of the world, the political and economic resources that can be divided up through war have been exhausted.

The plate is so big, those who have mastered the top resources must not want the situation to change.

And the newly promoted military nobles, those minor nobles who have not obtained the upper-class tickets, and those who have obtained the admission tickets but cannot go further, will inevitably desire to continue to expand outwards, and in fact this group of talents is the majority.

There was a great political conflict between this large group of nobles who were generally concentrated in the middle and lower classes and the veteran military nobles.

In the past, the national policy of the Great Qin was still in place, and the six kingdoms were not destroyed. The Great Qin with the farming and warfare system would inevitably not stop the pace of conquest, so the small nobles dominated, and the big nobles sought change.

Now, Sifangtiandi cut off obstacles, and under the constraints of natural conditions, the top nobles began to gradually gain the upper hand.

No matter how much you want to fight and want to get credit, so what?
Beat the sky and beat the northern and southern barbarians, and now Daqin is doing this.

Then what?The richest land known has been completely conquered.

And among the four fields in the world, there are also turmoil.

The retrogression of Daqin's officialdom is inevitable. The first emperor encountered assassination almost every time he traveled. The assassination that passed by Bolangsha seven years ago has not been found so far.

The first emperor knew that there must be problems at the grassroots level and in the six countries.

Officials, nobles...the scope is too large to be investigated.

Many of the appointments of officials in the land of the Six Kingdoms come directly from the old aristocratic groups of the Six Kingdoms.

Ding Po Tian means that he is not allowed to take office in his native place, and he is not allowed to take office in another place, but it still treats the symptoms but not the root cause.

Of course, the first emperor also wanted to use the old Qin people, but there was no way, because there were not so many officials, let alone so many official reserves.Moreover, it is also a question of whether the old Qin people will become corrupt when they go to the hometown of the Six Kingdoms with a relaxed political environment.

The official system of the Great Qin State requires a large number of officials to maintain, and the reduction of officials will inevitably lead to the return of government to the local government. However, in order to maintain a large number of officials and allow official administration to be carried out locally, it is necessary to use the old nobles of the six countries.

It seems to be caught in a vicious circle...

As for the common people, there are also many contradictions.

Cars on the same track, books on the same text, unified weights and measures, and unified currency.

Leaving aside the car and the same track and the same text, it may have little impact on the people. After all, the real people in this era are illiterate and do not have cars.

However, the mandatory unification of weights and measures and currency does not allow the people much time to react, and there are too many hands and feet to move.

Weights and measures and currency reforms, coupled with the not so loyal officials in the old land of the Six Kingdoms and the old nobles who controlled the local economy, one can imagine what will happen.

It is a traditional skill to push the evil government caused by officials and officials to the king.

In order to further destroy the stigma left by the six kingdoms, the first emperor banned sexual sacrifices throughout the world.

What is prostitution?

To put it bluntly, it is a festival and god sacrifice that Qin does not recognize.

Li Si and the first emperor certainly considered the incompatibility of the place, and did not simply impose the festivals, customs and beliefs of the Great Qin on the land of the Six Kingdoms.

Instead, after deliberation, combined with the current situation, it is a festival of worship and belief with the Great Qin as the main and the Six Kingdoms as the supplement.

For example, the first emperor did not ban Qu Yuan's sacrifice.

In fact, for local celebrities and ministers, as long as they did not swear to the death against the Qin faction, the first emperor basically did not prohibit sacrifices.

But even so, it still dealt a great blow to local customs and beliefs.

For example, the customs and ethos of wild marriage in some areas were explicitly banned because of the reform of the first emperor.

But the people are ignorant, and all unsuitable corvees and policies are attributed to Qin.

Therefore, the hearts of the people are boiling!

In addition, that is the most critical point.

corvee!

There were too many corvees in the Qin Dynasty!
The Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, the Great Wall, the Efang Palace, all over the world, the expansion of South Vietnam, the progress of Longxi...

The annual corvee is an astronomical figure.

Each of these is an extremely huge project, and none of them can be completed in a short period of time. Even in the original history, it was not completed until the death of the first emperor.

For the people of the six countries, the reform of weights and measures and currency is a bit painful, but it can be tolerated.

The forced change of customs can be forced to adapt.

Severe corvee, coupled with high taxes, have made them unbearable.

Emperor Shihuang knew and could see it all.

But, he can hold it down.

He knew very well in his heart that now Daqin was full of contradictions from top to bottom, and it was all due to him alone.

He also sought change, which led to the struggle between Chun Yuyue and Li Si.

In the end, he chose Li Si!
Choose Chunyu Yue, he can put it down now.

Like Zhou Tianzi, enjoy 800 years of national fortune.

Taking history as a mirror, no matter how bad the Great Qin Dynasty is, it is very possible to follow the example of Emperor Zhou and extend the royal family for 500 years.

The First Emperor wanted more!

The shame of the Zhou royal family being bare-chested and wearing jade is vivid, because the first emperor was the one who witnessed it and the one who initiated it.

In his hands, Daqin reached its peak. He lived up to expectations and fulfilled the long-cherished wish of the old Qin people of all ages.

From the east!To unity!
He has enough qualifications to be proud!
His Great Qin is far from the length that can be measured by 500 or 800 years.

So, he chose Li Si!
Compared with following the lessons learned from the Zhou royal family, he is more willing to take a path that no one has ever done before!

Unified, unprecedented!
And every step after that, there is no one to follow!
Even wrong lessons cannot be learned from history.

Every step, right or wrong, is full of unknowns.

And the great policies of the first emperor, the Great Wall, the Xiongnu, South Vietnam, Chi Dao, unified weights and measures, unified currency, unified characters, and unified customs, have all been proved by time.

The Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses built for their own selfishness have also become historical treasures in later generations.

There is no doubt about the county system...

Perhaps, since the Zhou Dynasty, since the Great Unification, there has been no dynasty that lasted as long as the Zhou Dynasty for 800 years.

However, since the Qin Dynasty, all dynasties and dynasties have taken unification as their own wish, so that the land of China was prevented from being torn apart, let alone a small land with many countries.

But, where should we go?

The First Emperor didn't know much about the world. He looked at the world map and tapped his fingers lightly.

Where is the future of Daqin?And on whose body?He didn't even know who to choose as his heir.

Pride and confusion do not conflict.

Everything about Daqin seemed convoluted, and Shi Huangdi thought about it so much that his chest felt tight.

The heavy government affairs, the confusing future, his pride and self-conceit, combined to continuously squeeze his body and become his burden.

He peeled off a corner of the fog, but what he saw was more fog.

As his body became more and more exhausted, Emperor Shi Huang frowned, skillfully opened the small bottle next to the table and poured out a brightly colored elixir into his mouth.

The veins on his forehead jumped up, his lips turned white slowly, his closed eyelids trembled constantly, and sweat ran across his face. After a long time, Emperor Shi Huang let out a sigh of relief and leaned back.

The first emperor was very tired, and he knew that the horses and horses were exhausted. Given his recent physical condition, he might not be able to finish this tour.

But... Now that the trip has passed a lot, it is not a big problem to turn back now.

If you don’t leave, you can make up for it next year...

He needs to show up from time to time to tell the world that he is still alive!

He knew that everyone was afraid of him!

But he also knows that everyone is not afraid of himself enough!

"Alright, counting the time it takes to turn back, the three new crops should be harvested." The First Emperor murmured softly.
