Stop and go along the way.

While everyone was looking at the antiquities and recalling Qin Shihuang's feats, they started talking about it.

"The First Emperor of Qin was once a rebellious and rebellious emperor! But he was too violent. He burned books and humiliated Confucian scholars, which caused a gap in literature, and built the Great Wall, which made the people complain and mourn!"

"Increasing various taxes has made the people helpless, and even the land has to be exploited. Tell yourselves, how can such a monarch maintain long-term peace and stability?"

"So it is natural for the second generation to fall. After all, his father has not laid a good foundation and only enjoys himself every day. How can he make the people surrender by doing this?"

Everyone around nodded quickly.

What's more, they pointed with their fingers and spit, telling all the shortcomings of Qin Shihuang.

Most of the people here today are archaeologists.

He was so familiar with this period of history that the people around him did not dare to say too much.

Lin Mo followed behind, frowning slightly.

Everyone in the world can see through what Qin Shihuang did.

Besides, build the Great Wall to defend against foreign enemies. Although it was a bit cruel at the time, it allowed the five thousand years of culture to be sealed. It has been peaceful and stable for ten thousand years, and foreign enemies cannot invade, and the inside can develop freely.

No matter how you look at it, the merits outweigh the faults.

As for the other crimes they mentioned, although they appear to be so on the surface, in fact, as long as you think about it, you can know the purpose of Qin Shihuang's actions.

Because of that memory, Lin Mocaizhi knew the truth.

"If what you say is what you say, doesn't Qin Shihuang have any merits?"

Someone next to me asked about my doubts.

After hearing this, the scholar who was pretending here just now smiled coldly.

"What merit can it have? To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than unifying weights and measures and unifying currency, but this also allows those profiteers to develop!"

"The only benefit is that it gives future generations an accurate measure of measurement. What else is there?"

The scholar talked endlessly, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

But there is a group of people who are just so flattering. Follow him and watch the scholar praise and give a thumbs up.

"It's really good!"

"Look at how knowledgeable he is and what he says is different. How can we ordinary people compare to him?"

"Besides, everyone knows what Qin Shihuang did. Such a cruel monarch is indeed not conducive to the development of future generations. So to reach today's situation, it is to adapt to the trend!"

Lin Mo frowned as he listened.

If it weren't for my remaining memories, I might have really believed his lies.

"What are you thinking about? Why haven't you spoken for a long time!"

Wang An stood on one side, looking at Lin Mo from a distance, doubtful in his heart.

"What is there to say? Haven't scholars said enough? Besides, benevolent people have different opinions and wise people have different opinions."

"Everyone has different ideas, and it won't do any good if we really argue with him."

Lin Mo just expressed his thoughts. There was a small pavilion in front of him.

Several people sat down.

It was a nice day with a gentle breeze.

Looking at the beautiful scenery around him, Lin Mo was thoughtful.

The rare silence was interrupted in an instant.

"So, we have to leave a thin line in everything we do. If Qin Shihuang doesn't kill everyone and eradicate the roots, Yuehehe will have no one to help him when the Qin Dynasty is in trouble?"

"Even if the second generation ancestor has great ambitions, I am afraid it will be difficult to maintain. This is the cycle of cause and effect. Even in history, there are traces to follow."

Lin Mo did not expect that this expert scholar would speak again.

Seeing that the old man looked about sixty years old, I didn't know how he had such energy, walked so far, and could still talk without interruption.

"Qin Shihuang is not as bad as everyone says! He laid the foundation for unifying the six kingdoms and unifying weights and measures. You just said that this will also be good for future generations."

As soon as a young scholar opened his mouth, he was interrupted by the other party.

"What's the benefit? The benefit is that the people have been devastated by the war for years?"

“Or will it increase taxes and collect taxes based on population, causing people’s livelihood to mourn and the national treasury to be empty and unsustainable?”

This old man opens his mouth and shuts up. This is the justice of the country.

It's just a pity that he is full of chicken intestines and can't see the problem at all.

"Even if the six countries are not unified, we will not stop fighting every year for fear of the consequences."

"Besides, at that time, excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes were imposed, which led to an empty treasury and people's complaints. It was not individual taxes that were mourned."

The man whispered.

"It's not like you don't know that during those years of continuous drought, there was no harvest in the land, so the people were running around and the war started."

"These are far more than man-made disasters. They are not considered natural disasters at all. Do you think this kind of thing should also be blamed on Qin Shihuang? That would be a bit unreasonable, right?"

His brows were furrowed and he was thoughtful.

I couldn't help but say it out loud.

Lin Mo stood behind and looked at the young man, couldn't help but smile and nodded.

This person does have some insight, at least he is much better than the old man just now, and he will not blindly follow what others say, which is good.

"Young people don't understand that much?"

"How many books have you read and how many roads have you walked? Let me tell you, some things are not just the knowledge in books. I have also explored what happened!"

"It's clear that the monarch is cruel and incompetent, that's all!"

Lin Mo was extremely helpless.

Standing next to him, he originally wanted to turn to the side road alone, but he didn't expect that the old man behind him actually followed him with everyone.

"This little friend just saw you keeping silent. He seems to have some insights into what I said!"

"I wonder if you can tell me what you are thinking at this moment, refute me, and see if what I said is true?"

Lin Mo shook his head when he heard this.

"Historical merits and demerits cannot be said equally by anyone! Besides, each individual has his or her own merits, and everyone has his own faults. Can you explain it or can I explain it?"

Then he turned sideways and glanced at Wang An next to him.

Wang An opened his mouth several times, but stopped himself every time.

Now, I understand.

Lin Mo's eyes were slightly encouraging. If the old man was allowed to continue talking, he was afraid that everyone would be taken away.

If you go back and spread the word, wouldn't you be cheating people?

After thinking about this, Wang An said softly.

"I have something to say!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, the old man turned his head.

His eyes were like eagles, staring closely at Wang An.

If he were an ordinary person, he would have been too frightened to speak anymore, but at this moment, Lin Mo stood beside him and patted Wang An on the shoulder.

It gave Wang An a certain amount of motivation.

Wang An cleared his throat and then said, "What you said is indeed wrong. The best evaluation is when the merits outweigh the faults."
