Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 93: A man seeks the world! (seeking subscription)
There was silence.

Fusu pondered Ji Heng's words silently, with a hint of understanding in his eyes.

Ji Heng stood up from the reclining chair, stretched his waist comfortably, looked up at the sky, and said calmly: "Governing the world has never been easy. Some Confucian views are indeed old-fashioned, but some have some truth."

"Cultivate one's body and make one's family peaceful."

"Most people in the world can't even manage their own small family well, so how can they expect to manage everyone well?"

"And running a country is not the same as running a family."

"Governance is more important than stability."

"There are no permanent friends in this world, only eternal interests."

"It's a phrase that applies to statecraft as well."

"In your eyes, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms are the enemies of Great Qin, but in the eyes of those who have a strategic plan, 'enemies' and 'friends' are never easily determined, but will change with the current situation. Going back and forth between enemy and friend."

"In my opinion, the relationship between the nobles of the six countries and Qin is also an enemy and a friend."

heard.

Fu Su and Hu Hai were taken aback.

The two looked at each other and couldn't help but look at each other.

Hu Hai wondered: "How is this possible? Enemies are enemies, how can they become friends? When did Daqin become friends with the nobles of the six countries? After the world was unified, the two hated each other and wanted to put each other to death."

"Where did you start talking about being both an enemy and a friend?"

"You should see more broadly."

Ji Heng stood with his hands behind his back, with his back to the two of them, and said in a deep voice: "If friends and enemies are distinguished from the worldly perspective, they will indeed be easily judged as enemies or enemies, and friends as friends, but if they are separated from themselves, they will be judged by the country. For the sake of thinking and discussing the matter as it stands, the boundaries between enemy and friend will become blurred, and even overlap."

"Take salt and iron as an example."

"The suggestion I put forward this time is to use salt and iron as a lure to cause internal strife in Kanto and realize the profit for the imperial court."

"This proposal is actually not complicated."

"Even a little ordinary."

"And the starting point of this suggestion from the beginning to the end actually falls on one point."

"That is to unite all the forces that can be united, to make one's own side stronger, and then to isolate the enemy and make the enemy weaker, so as to achieve one's own goals."

"From this point of view, we first need to clarify a problem."

"Who is a friend and who is an enemy."

"As far as the matter of salt and iron is concerned, are the officials and nobles in the Kanto region friends of the imperial court?"

Ji Heng turned around and asked the two of them.

Fusu's eyelids twitched.

He had never actually thought of that.

But after Ji Heng said this, he suddenly woke up, as if this was the case.

The Great Qin’s control over the Kanto was insufficient. Without the help of the Guandong officials, the matter of salt and iron could not be carried out. However, the Guandong officials and the imperial court have always been at odds with each other, and the nobles of the six countries hate Qin to the bone. It is logical that they are unlikely to help each other.

However, Ji Heng's suggestion is likely to be implemented.

For profit!

Daqin was hundreds of miles away, and seemed to be in Kanto. Together with officials and merchants in Kanto, they joined hands to dismember merchants all over the world.

Think of this.

Fusu felt a strange feeling in his heart.

Quite uncomfortable.

a long time.

Fu Su sighed and said: "As far as the matter of salt and iron is concerned, the Guandong officials and nobles are really 'friends' of Great Qin."

"It's just unbelievable."

"It's not very acceptable either."

Ji Heng nodded, and said lightly: "There is nothing difficult to understand. In terms of governing the country, interests are more important. As long as the other party is beneficial to what the court is going to do, it is a 'friend', and if it is not good for the court to do, it is a 'friend'." enemy'."

"The so-called friends and enemies will also change with things."

"You can't generalize."

"Whether it is an enemy or a friend, it must be discussed on a case-by-case basis."

"National politics, there is no emotion, only interests!"

"The same is true in governing the country. We must first identify the enemy, and then use common interests as the pivot to unite as many people as possible."

"The unity here does not necessarily mean that the other party will fall to you, but to stabilize the other party so that these people will not fall to your opponent, and then concentrate power to defeat the opponent, so as to achieve the goal."

"also."

"Learn to slow down."

"Like the current Daqin, there are already serious disadvantages. It is simply unrealistic to want to achieve overnight success and achieve success."

"" Therefore, we must first learn to split a thing that cannot be done in a short time into several small things that can be done, and then complete these small things step by step, and then promote the completion of the whole big thing. "

"On the way to completion, learn to use everything around you."

"Even if it's the enemy you think!"

Done.

Ji Heng didn't speak again.

Youzai returned to his reclining chair.

Fusu lowered his head and pondered.

Hu Hai yawned, looking around rather bored.

Soon.

Fu Su woke up and respectfully saluted Ji Heng: "Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Fu Su has been taught."

Ji Heng waved his hand and expelled: "The wine you brought today has already been finished, and it's getting late, you can go back."

"also."

"The weather is getting colder. It's suitable for resting at noon, not for blowing outside."

"There's nothing to do in daily life, don't come here all the time."

"You can take it, I can't take it."

heard.

Fusu couldn't laugh or cry.

He could only say on his forehead: "Fusu, remember, he will not come here to disturb you for no reason."

"Please rest assured, sir."

Done.

Fusu saluted respectfully again.

This time I practiced the disciple ceremony.

When he came, he didn't think too much.

But after hearing Ji Heng's words, he couldn't help being awed.

Ji Heng sees the matter of salt and iron thoroughly, and what he says is clear and comprehensive.

He didn't like plotting.

But after listening to Ji Heng's explanation, he completely changed his view.

The tricks are too terrifying.

What Ji Heng used was just scheming, and he had already manipulated people's hearts in the applause. If Ji Heng had calculated, I am afraid that few people in the world would be spared.

Regarding Fusu's respectful gesture, Ji Heng shook his head, but didn't take it seriously.

He doesn't care about these at all.

And there are some things that you don't really understand after listening to them.

There is still a long distance between understanding and understanding.

Fusu still has a long way to go.

Fusu straightened up, took a deep breath, and looked very dignified.

He is no longer as naive and ignorant as before.

After this period of baptism, his xinxing has been greatly improved.

He now clearly knows that if he really wants to implement Ji Heng's idea, he will definitely encounter a lot of resistance.

Even though he himself has so many doubts and questions, there will probably be more doubts and questions from the ruling and opposition parties, and this is all he has to face.

It must also be faced.

Fusu turned around and walked outside the house.

Hu Hai followed and left.

The two brothers walked side by side for a while. Hu Hai looked around and asked curiously: "Brother, Ji Heng's idea is really so powerful? Why can't I feel it?"

Fu Su condensed and said:
"Mr. Ji's method is beyond the reach of others."

"What he focuses on is not just salt and iron, but all aspects related to salt and iron."

"From the bottom-level salt workers and officials, to the supervisory officials, and the merchants who transport and sell, there are thousands of low-level people in the world."

"Besides, he also calculated the Kanto, borrowing the benefits of salt and iron to stir up internal strife in the Kanto forces and let them cannibalize each other, so that the imperial court can reap the benefits."

"These methods are truly astonishing."

"He calculated human nature."

"Even if the Kanto nobles saw the court's intentions, they would still choose to jump under the temptation of huge interests."

"This is a conspiracy."

"Guiguzi once said: A villain seeks his life, a gentleman seeks his country, and a man seeks the world."

"Ji Heng is such a real man."

"His vision is so high that it far surpasses mine."

"While we were still thinking about how to 'make money' and 'strengthen the capital', he had already looked at the world and worked out a very complete set of solutions."

"Such minds are astonishing."

"I'm even a little lucky that he was caught in prison, and fortunately he was discovered by my younger brother. Otherwise, Mr. Ji would be allowed to roam around outside. When he escapes from Xianyang in the future, and give him a little chance to show off, I'm afraid he would become Daqin in an instant." It's a big trouble for my confidant, this kind of monstrous mind is simply not something we can match."

Fusu had a happy face.

heard.

Hu Hai grinned and said triumphantly, "It's natural."

"There are more than 400 people who went to prison with Ji Heng, and I fell in love with Ji Heng alone."

"Is my insight into people comparable to that of ordinary people?"

"Furthermore."

"Can ordinary people get into my eyes?"

"It's also worthy of such good wine and meat as me?"

"Although I don't have much pen and ink in my stomach, I can still recognize talents."

Hu Hai raised his head and held his chest high, with a rather contented expression on his face.

Fu Su chuckled lightly and said, "This is indeed your credit."

"However, you should be more polite to Mr. Ji from now on. Don't call him by his first name. Mr. Ji is a man of great talent, how could he be so rude?"

Hu Hai curled his lips, and said impatiently: "Ji Heng himself doesn't mind, and I've known him for so long, there's really no need to be so polite."

"Too polite seems out of place."

Fusu frowned.

see.

Hu Hai also quickly said: "I see, I will call him Mr. Ji from now on."

Fusu glanced at Hu Hai, shook his head, and said nothing.

We walked together for a while, without talking all the way.

After entering the palace, the two returned to their respective palaces.

Inside the Lama Temple study.

In his mind, Fusu recalled what Ji Heng said in detail, took out a blank bamboo slip, and wrote down the details one by one.

When I remember the key point, I can't help but stop writing, think about it carefully, and show a lively look from time to time.

What Ji Heng said today was very enlightening to Fusu, and it broadened his mind a lot, especially some of the unique insights in it refreshed him, making him have a better understanding of people and things. deep understanding.

Significance.

He sat there for nearly a quarter of an hour.

But Fusu felt fulfilled for a long time.

He has not appeared in this state of thirst for knowledge for a long time.

Fu Su stopped writing, holding the bamboo slips lightly with both hands, and blowing them carefully. When the brush and ink on the bamboo slips dried up, he carefully read them several times to make sure they were correct. Then he closed the bamboo slips, tied a string, and placed them Sleeve, out of the study, walked towards Xianyang Palace.

He wanted to report this policy to the First Emperor.
