My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?

All the ministers were shocked.

You said that we are radical?

How presumptuous!

Ying Zheng waved his hand to signal Xia Wuqi to step back. He sat on the couch and looked at Ying Chengqi gently, saying: "Since Lord Chang'an has said that he has some ideas about boiling sea salt and removing salt poison, I think this strategy is possible."

"Yes! Salt is a great benefit!"

"Today, there is sea salt from Qi in the east and well salt from Bashu and Chu in the west, which can compete with each other."

"But if the prince deepens the art of boiling sea salt, the salt prices in the eastern coastal areas will definitely increase sharply, while the well salt prices in the west will remain the same. . "

"Overall, this move is beneficial to our Great Qin and can greatly increase our Great Qin's national strength."

"But if you look closely, you can see that this move is most beneficial to the East."

"If my brother really makes the old Qi land have the rare sea salt, then Bashu may not have the benefit of well salt first, or it can only survive by relying on the geographical advantage, so that the East becomes richer and the West becomes poorer!"

"If this continues, it may make the world, which is already upside down, even more overturned!"

Large-scale sea boiling and salt production is a good thing for the country as a whole.

But for political creatures, everything such as economy, technology, and thought should serve politics, rather than let politics serve the economy.

If the capital of the Great Qin is located in the eastern coastal area, or if the west of the Great Qin is richer than the east, then the Great Qin can naturally boil the sea and make salt without scruples.

However, the reality is that the capital of the Great Qin is located in Xianyang City, far away from the coastline, and the economy of the west of the Great Qin is much worse than that of the east.

Under the circumstance that the capital's economic zone is seriously backward, the ambitious and rebellious zone that has not yet been completely conquered is developing the economy wantonly, and the development is a killer weapon like salt. This will not only further hit the Western economy, but also betray the old Qin people, and may even cause a serious impact on politics!

Lu Buwei was slightly stunned, and then suddenly slapped his knees: "I am confused by the pursuit of profit! I only care about the profit, and ignore the importance of the east and the west!"

"If Chang'an Jun develops the technique of boiling sea salt and removing salt poison, the biggest beneficiary is still the common people in the East, not the old Qin people, which may cause the old Qin people to be more dissatisfied!"

"The private salt vendors and local tyrants that have grown due to the surge in salt prices in the East will become a new source of unrest!"

"What the king said is very true!"

The faces of the court officials also showed a look of sudden realization, and then they were filled with deep helplessness and regret.

It's not their fault that they ignored the political factors just now. It's because all the ministers of the Great Qin were afraid of poverty. As a result, Ying Chengjiao said that he had the technology to make a money printing machine and could print a lot of money.

How could they not be excited and excited, and how could they not be blinded by the interests? !

Ying Zheng's voice became more and more gentle: "My brother, this idea is very good, and my brother can also study it."

"But I think that my brother should implement this strategy in the world after my Great Qin, especially Guanzhong, has developed slightly and the coastal areas have all returned to their hearts."

"Only in this way, it will be safe!"

Ying Chengjiao's lips moved for a while, held back, moved again, and held back again, but in the end Ying Chengjiao whispered: "I also have some ideas about the technique of digging wells and salt in the Great Qin."

Ying Zheng: !!!

Ministers: Ah? ? ?

The monarchs and ministers of the Great Qin looked at Ying Chengjiao in unison, their eyes were shocked and sluggish, and finally they glowed slightly.

You not only have some ideas about removing the poison from sea salt, but also some ideas about digging well salt?

How many ideas do you have in your little head!

Ying Zheng couldn't wait to ask: "My brother, do you have any ideas about digging well salt?"

"How long will it take to complete the work?"

Ying Chengjiao hurriedly said: "It's just some ideas."

"Compared with the art of removing the poison from sea salt, the art of digging well salt is much more difficult!"

"If you want to complete the work, even if I study with my disciples, it may take several years or even more than ten years."

"Don't have too much hope in the short term, Your Majesty."

Improving the sea salt manufacturing process is very simple. Ying Chengjiao is even confident that he can get it done within a year, which will not delay his training and preparation for war.

But the difficulty of transforming the well salt manufacturing process is much higher.

Because the important shackles that restrict well salt are not how to remove the toxins in it, but how to mine it more efficiently!

Ying Zheng trembled and said, "How can I not have great hope!"

"Chang'an Jun has just spoken clearly about the benefits of salt. You should know how much benefit it will bring to our Great Qin if we double the amount of salt!"

"Well salt is more beneficial to our Great Qin than sea salt!"

"If my brother can really study the art of digging wells for salt, our Great Qin can not only make huge profits from well salt and let our subjects taste the taste of salt, but also use the benefits of salt to reverse the imbalance between the East and the West!"

Lü Buwei also spoke up: "After all, sea salt should be used on the eastern coast. It can only be made with a prescription, and after it is made, it must be transported from the east to the world. The journey is long and labor-intensive. "

"The well salt veins are scattered, which makes it easier to transport to various parts of Daqin."

"It is indeed more expensive to dig well salt than to boil sea salt, but the transportation cost is much lower."

"Even if the well salt technique is more difficult, I think that Chang'an Jun can first study well salt and then sea salt!"

Han Cang and several other court officials couldn't help but stand up, looking at Ying Chengjiao as if they were looking at a god of wealth! Ying Chengjiao asked tentatively: "Then, how about I go to be the governor of Bashu for two years?"

"If I want to study the well salt technique, I must go to the well salt mine in person."

"Otherwise, no matter how talented I am, I can't show it out of thin air!"

If I can't travel to the ancient Qi land, I can't go.

It's not bad to go to Bashu to have fun!

Although there were not many delicacies in Bashu during this era, there were black and white dumplings to play with! And I could also grab the tender bamboo shoots that the black and white dumplings loved the most to eat!

I was a little excited just thinking about it!

However, what Ying Chengjiao did not expect was that Ying Zheng actually slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Between breaths, Ying Zheng suppressed his eagerness and said gently: "We'll discuss this later."

"Since Chang'an Jun has the upper and middle strategies, he should also have the lower strategy."

"Chang'an Jun, please don't be stingy with your words!"

Still not getting permission to go out and play, Ying Chengjiao said a little disappointedly: "The lower strategy is much worse than the upper and middle strategies."

"My lower strategy is to let the upper class rule Qi with Qi, pull a group and beat a group of the middle class, and assimilate the lower class's thoughts!"

Ying Zheng's eyes flickered slightly: "Pull a group and beat a group of the middle class?"

"Just like when Chang'an Jun ruled the old Chu and the old Wei?"

Ying Chengjiao nodded, then shook his head: "The thoughts remain unchanged, but the strategy should be changed."

"Although there are many powerful and noble people in the old Qi, the combined strength of all the powerful and noble people is not as strong as the old Qi Tian family."

"But it is precisely because the old Qi Tian family has so many children, so even if the old Qi Tian family is relatively united, there will always be people who are selfish. The most important ones."

"The group of people I want to win over are not only the common people, bandits, and servants, but also the people of Guqi and even most of the descendants of the Tian family of Guqi, and use their strength to attack the remaining descendants of the Tian family of Guqi!"

"After most of the descendants of the Tian family of Guqi have been attacked and eliminated, some of the descendants of the Tian family of Guqi who were originally won over will be listed as targets for attack for various reasons."

"Although this strategy will cause Guqi to fall into chaos for a long time, it will not cause a big chaos, and no matter how chaotic it is, the people of Guqi will be hit. "

This strategy has been used twice by the Qin Dynasty, and both times have achieved good results, so Ying Zheng nodded happily: "This strategy can be used!"

"What is the strategy for the assimilation of my brother's thoughts?"

"But is it the same writing and the same ethics?"

Ying Zheng is eager to try it as long as you say a word, my brother, I will give the order!

The corner of Ying Chengjiao's mouth twitched slightly: "I think it's a bit too hasty to implement the policy of writing the same text and doing the same ethics now."

"The policy of ideological assimilation that I advise is not assimilation from top to bottom, but to make the people of Qi actively learn the thoughts of our Great Qin from the bottom of their hearts, study the thoughts of our Great Qin, and even rely on the current thoughts of the Great Qin to study out thoughts that are more suitable for our Great Qin!"

Ying Zheng looked puzzled, and even a little surprised: "The people of Qi actively learn the thoughts of our Great Qin, and even surpass the thoughts of our Great Qin along the thoughts of our Great Qin?!"

Is this possible!

What I want is nothing more than writing the same text and doing the same ethics.

But I know very well that the people of Qi don't look down on our Great Qin at all, let alone the thoughts of our Great Qin.

Even if it is forcibly suppressed by the court laws, it will still take decades to achieve this policy.

What my brother advises is not to force it by law, but to let the people of Qi actively learn the thoughts of our Great Qin.

My brother said that I was too hasty?

But what my brother advised was obviously more difficult to achieve than what I said!

Lu Buwei's eyes suddenly lit up: "Divided into imperial examinations!"

"The imperial examinations that Chang'an Jun advised were meant to induce the people of Guandong to actively learn the laws and thoughts of our Qin Dynasty, and then to enter the court as officials through the imperial examinations, and then divide, win over, and suppress the forces of Guandong."

"The people of Qi are more eager for official positions than anywhere else."

"As long as our Qin Dynasty clearly informs the people of Qi that they can get official positions by participating in the imperial examinations, the people of Qi will enthusiastically copy the laws of our Qin Dynasty and worship our Qin law officials as their teachers."

"The people of Qi may despise the laws and thoughts of our Qin Dynasty, but for the sake of official positions, the people of Qi will still study day and night and study hard until they learn thoroughly, understand, and learn their own thoughts!"

Are you eager for an official position? Are you eager for an official position?

I, the Great Qin, have put everything you desire into the laws of the Great Qin.

Come and learn!

As long as you learn something, you can get everything you desire - and you will also become a part of the Great Qin!

Ying Chengjiao smiled and nodded: "Yes!"

"I think that people's thoughts are soft inside and hard outside, and it is extremely difficult to change them by external force."

"But if people spontaneously drill from the inside out, they will break as soon as they drill!"

"I advise that, on the grounds that the old Qi has just died and the Great Qin lacks officials, a special examination for the ancient Qi area will be held in half a year."

"At the same time, the recommendation system will no longer be implemented in the old Qi area, but the positions of the chief clerks and the most basic minor officials in the old Qi area will be included in the category of the special examination, so as to enhance the attraction of this special examination to the people of the old Qi!"
