The Great Arcanist Who Traveled Through the World of American Variety Shows

Richard's words made Ying Zheng fall into deep thought. Yes, even the old Qin people are unwilling to fight for Qin, so what hope is there for Qin?

Fighting the remaining strength of the six generations, sweeping across the world, unifying the world, and then dying in the second generation?

No! This is not the Qin I want! Ying Zheng's eyes showed a resolute look. When he was a four-year-old child, he was wandering on the streets of Handan and fighting with wild dogs for food. He did not give up. When he first ascended the throne, his stepmother and Lao Ai joined forces to frame him, but he did not give up. Even his uncle was killed by him.

He went from an abandoned child wandering in Handan to today step by step. His heart has long been unusually tough. Although he saw the Qin Xianyang burned into ruins with his own eyes, the great imperial foundation he established was destroyed.

After coming to his senses, Ying Zheng suppressed his endless anger and said to Richard respectfully: "Thank you for your advice, Immortal. Where do you live?"

"I just came to Daqin and have no place to live."

"If you don't mind, then live in Ganquan Palace."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Richard said.

"I want to make you the national teacher. I wonder if you are willing to accept it?"

"Yes." Richard waved his hand and didn't care about that.

"Your Majesty, I want to see the literature and books of various countries. Is that possible?" Richard said. The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period was a period of great explosion of various thoughts for Chinese civilization.

The various schools of thought and doctrines of the pre-Qin philosophers and scholars emerged continuously during this period, and many things could not be found in later generations. Moreover, there were books such as the "Tao Te Ching" left by the Taoist ancestor at this time that were not tampered with by later generations.

Richard was very interested in these books, and that person was the Taoist master. Richard wanted to learn from him. If he could learn a little bit, it would be of great benefit to him.

"Hahaha, you can read it at will. I will order the official historian to send all the books." Ying Zheng said with a smile.

"Thank you very much!"

"Immortal, I still have some things to deal with. I am sorry for neglecting you. You can walk around the palace at will." Ying Zheng's illness was completely cured, and he was full of energy after receiving the guidance technique given by Richard.

When he thought that his Qin Dynasty would collapse in less than ten years, he immediately began to adjust various policies. Richard did not go around the palace, but picked up the bamboo slips next to him and read them.

At the same time, the palace people also came back to work. These people did not notice anything about what happened just now, and even did not react to Richard.

This surprised Ying Zheng.

"Your Majesty, don't be surprised. They don't have any memory of what happened just now." Richard said with a smile.

Ying Zheng nodded after listening, and then began to modify the national policy.

In the future scene just now, he clearly saw the situation in the world. Although Ying Zheng also cared about the people before, he did not go to the people to check it out in person.

He governed the world with Qin law. In this case, he made a fatal mistake, that is, the people of the six countries were not used to the strict Qin law. At the same time, another reason is the number of officials.

Qin unified the world, but there were not enough officials at all. You know, in this era, reading and writing have almost nothing to do with ordinary people. There are very few qualified officials.

And Qin naturally could not use the officials of the six countries to wipe out the six countries, otherwise those places would not be Qin land.

So this caused a serious problem, the number of officials was insufficient. The basic qualities of a large number of officials could not enable them to govern the place reasonably.

Qin's territory directly expanded several times, the population expanded five times, and the number of officials required increased by at least five times. Qin could not train so many qualified officials in a short period of time. As for the lower officials, there were even fewer.

In order to enable the country to operate normally, Qin could only send many unqualified officials at that time, and at the same time used many original officials from various countries.

To whom these officials are loyal is still a big question mark.

No matter how rigorous and perfect the Qin law is, it still needs people to implement it, which leads to a serious problem. The Qin law eventually became a tool in the hands of those people.

In fact, after the First Emperor began to mobilize labor for the whole country, the public security in various places deteriorated, and the court's control over the local areas became weaker and weaker.

Otherwise, Xiang Yu and Xiang Liang could gather 800 Jiangdong children in their hometown without being discovered by Qin Shihuang. Zhang Liang sent a strong man to assassinate the First Emperor with a big thorn, but he hit the secondary car by mistake and was not caught by the officials.

The fundamental reason is that there is a problem with the grassroots power organs of the Qin State.

At the beginning, the world was in war for hundreds of years. The Qin State was able to unify the world, and the people did not want to fight anymore. The hundreds of years of war have caused great harm to the people of all countries in the world.

After the Qin State unified the world, if it could give the people a rest, the world would not fall apart.

As a result, the people who thought the world was peaceful had not had time to enjoy a few years of peace before the court began to recruit laborers. Decades of labor were unbearable for the people of the world.

After learning about the future, the first emperor ordered that the construction of the Afang Palace and the Mausoleum of Mount Li be stopped, and all the laborers being recruited be stopped, and all the people were given food and returned to their hometowns.

At the same time, he ordered a general amnesty, and all criminal laws were pardoned except for serious crimes. Then he issued an edict that officials from all regions should not seek immortals anymore, and all officials should rectify local government affairs.

When the Emperor's edict was passed to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Li Si saw the edict in his hand and doubted whether it was fake.

Although the Emperor had been deceived many times in the name of seeking immortals, seeking immortals has always been the priority of officials in various places. Now the Emperor has even revoked the order to seek immortals, which means that something big must have happened.

Did those Confucian scholars convince His Majesty? Otherwise, why would His Majesty issue such an edict?

Li Si thought for a while, and then asked: "Eunuch, did Your Majesty meet anyone today?"

"Prime Minister, I don't know." The eunuch bowed.

"Then I'm sorry for the trouble." Li Si didn't get an answer, but he was still very polite.

After delivering the edict, the eunuch did not stay and returned directly to the palace.

Although the Emperor knew what Li Si did later, he did not directly remove Li Si from his official position and imprison him, but continued to employ him.

Li Si was very talented. The First Emperor needed him to help deal with state affairs, and he was not worried that Li Si would cause any trouble in his hands. He could kill him at any time if he wanted to.

Li Si didn't know what happened in the palace, but since the edict had been issued, it must be carried out. So the officials of the Prime Minister's Office issued the court's order to the 36 counties of the world.

The first order was to suspend all labor conscription, and the second was to grant amnesty to the world, except for serious crimes, all other crimes were pardoned. The third was to distribute food to the prisoners in Mount Li and the Afang Palace and let them return home. The fourth was to prohibit officials from all over the world from looking for immortals.

After the four edicts were issued, they immediately set off an uproar in various places, and those who had been drawn to labor were even more excited and cried. You know, in ancient times, labor was so heavy that many people died in labor.

Now that the court stopped conscripting labor, the people all over the world were like celebrating the New Year. Then the court pardoned the crimes, and many people who fled to various places returned home.

In fact, many bandits were unwilling to continue being bandits. The bigger reason for these people to gather in the mountains was to avoid taxes and labor.

After learning that the court had stopped collecting labor and pardoned the crime, many bandits began to return home. The number of prisoners in Mount Li and Afang Palace was more than 700,000 at the highest, and even now there are still hundreds of thousands.

All these people were pardoned, and the First Emperor ordered to give these people food and cloth and let them go home. When the order came here, the huge construction site was filled with cheers.

Hundreds of thousands of people began to distribute supplies and return to their hometowns.

On the other hand, the survivors of the six countries hiding under the surface of the Qin also found that something was wrong.

"What's going on? Why did the tyrant suddenly change his temper? He stopped collecting labor."

"I don't know, but this is a good thing. At least we can relax! We don't have to spend money to find people to prepare for labor."

"Do you think it's possible that the tyrant is dead?"

"It's possible!"

"Then should we act directly?"

"Wait, we can't be the first to act, what if he's not dead?"

"Yes, wait for others to act first!"

The court's decree was quickly implemented, and the long-standing grievances in various places suddenly settled down. Seeing this situation, the survivors of the six countries who were secretly agitating could only temporarily stop their agitation.

In the past, the court oppressed too much, and the people in various places were dissatisfied. Their agitation was very smooth. Now that the court has changed the edict, they will be easily discovered if they agitate again.

In Xianyang City, it seems calm, but under this calm surface, there is a dark tide.

The Black Ice Platform of the First Emperor kept going out, gathering all kinds of information and sending it to the palace. A large amount of intelligence was collected from all over the place and transported to the palace.

The First Emperor looked at the various intelligence sent by the Black Ice Platform and soon found that the situation was very similar to the future he saw, although the intelligence was far less serious than the future.

But if it continued like this, it would only be a matter of time to reach the future he saw. As the immortal master said, the world had indeed gone wrong. Adjusting the national policy has reached a point where it can't be delayed.

At the same time, the First Emperor also found that many officials in various places were illegal. This made him look very ugly.

"Your Majesty, the chickens and ducks you asked people to feed are dead." At this time, a palace servant hurried to report.

"Dead?" Ying Zheng's face suddenly became gloomy. What he asked people to feed was the elixir refined by those alchemists. It was only five or six days, and all the chickens and ducks died.

Ying Zheng immediately went there in person to see what was going on.

Sure enough, when Ying Zheng came to an open space, he saw more than a dozen chickens and ducks lying on the ground, without any vitality, and even those chickens and ducks that survived became dying one by one.

Seeing this situation, Ying Zheng's face became even gloomier. At the beginning, although Richard showed many magical methods, he did not believe them all.

Although Richard did look like an immortal, Ying Zheng had been deceived many times and still had doubts in his heart. Now seeing this scene, he completely believed Richard's words.

These so-called immortal pills will not make you immortal after eating them, but will kill you!

"Come here!" Ying Zheng said coldly.

"Your Majesty, I am here!" Several guards stepped forward and said.

"Go and arrest all the alchemists who made the immortal pills, including their families, for interrogation!"

"I want to know if they are plotting to murder me!"

Accompanied by the order of Qin Shihuang, the Black Ice Platform was quickly dispatched. The alchemists who originally enjoyed a special status in the palace were directly dragged away by the soldiers for interrogation like pigs and dogs.

For a time, the entire Black Ice Platform was dispatched. The officials who had experienced this scene were frightened and trembling.

A large number of alchemists were arrested for interrogation. At the same time, the court army began to suspend the construction of various large-scale projects. Even the construction of the Great Wall was reduced. The court released a large number of labor services. The Huns outside the Great Wall are now very honest. At the beginning, Meng Tian led the army to fight against the Huns, and the Huns were beaten by the Qin State's crossbow formation.

Now there are 300,000 troops stationed in the Great Wall area, and the Huns dare not go south at all.

At this time, the Great Wall has been almost built, and most of the roads in various places have been completed. After stopping the construction, the First Emperor has asked people to extend the construction period, reduce the number of labor services, and no longer require completion in a short time.

With this decree, officials from all over the country are also relieved.

Under such circumstances, Prince Fusu came back from the Great Wall. Seeing this scene, many officials were puzzled. Some even secretly speculated whether the First Emperor was in poor health and wanted to recall Fusu to the throne.

When Ying Zheng saw Fusu rushing back and respectfully saluted him, he felt much better. A few years ago, he drove away all the teachers of Prince Fusu and sent him to the Great Wall to sharpen him.

His eldest son was kind and intelligent, and treated his brothers very well, but the only thing was that he was not like his father.

As the First Emperor, he was cold and majestic, worshipped the Legalists, promoted the Qin law to the world, and formulated a unique county system, but his eldest son Fusu did not recognize the county system, and even wrote to promote the enfeoffment.

This is simply ridiculous! To promote enfeoffment, didn't he know the lessons of the Zhou Dynasty?

King Wu enfeoffed the princes of the world, what was the final result? The princes fought each other, and the world was in turmoil for hundreds of years. In the end, the Qin people unified the world. Now they are dividing the land again. Isn't that going through the old path of the Zhou Dynasty again?

Then what is the meaning of unifying the world?

And he promoted the Qin law, but his son re-implemented the Confucian way of governing the country. If Confucianism can really govern the country, why didn't any prince use Confucius's way for hundreds of years during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period?

He was so stupid from reading that I don't know how he is now after several years of experience at the Great Wall.
