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

"Father, I have been ordered to return to the capital and come to return my orders." Fusu respectfully returned the imperial edict.

"Get up." Ying Zheng said.

"Thank you, father." Fusu stood up and said.

"Tell me, what have you seen at the Great Wall in the past few years? Do you understand what you are doing?" Ying Zheng said calmly.

"Father, I think we should postpone the call for corvee service, recuperate with the people, and implement benevolent government for the world," Fusu said.

"Benevolent government, benevolent government, will those Huns recognize your benevolent government? They will only recognize the sword!"

"Do you want to implement benevolent government towards them?" Ying Zheng couldn't help but said.

"Isn't my father now promoting benevolent government? When I came back, I heard that my father stopped the world's corvee and let the prisoners go home. This is benevolent government!"

Seeing Fusu's dusty appearance and thinking of him committing suicide in the future, Ying Zheng sighed in his heart and said no more. He was going to ask the immortal master for advice on how to educate his eldest son.

"You should go back to the palace and rest first!" Ying Zheng said.

After seeing that Fusu returned safely, Ying Zheng immediately ordered Heibingtai to arrest Hu Hai in the name of disobedience and unfilial piety. He had been patient with his temper before and did not explode immediately. Now that Fusu is back, he no longer has this worry.

For the things Hu Hai did in the future, Ying Zheng had already cultivated them without directly ordering him to be quartered. But now that Hu Hai has not done those things, he cannot kill Hu Hai for no reason, so Ying Zheng is going to imprison him and keep him in prison until his death.

He has ordered that a high wall be built in Yongcheng to imprison him, so that he will live within the high wall for the rest of his life.

After dealing with this, Ying Zheng hurriedly came to look for Richard.

"Immortal chief."

"Your Majesty is here." Richard said with a smile.

"Immortal, I am a little confused. I would like to ask the Immortal to clarify my confusion." Ying Zheng said respectfully.

"Your Majesty, what do you want to ask?"

"Chief Immortal, is there something wrong with Qin's implementation of the system of prefectures and counties?" Ying Zheng saw that the whole country would rebel in the future, and he also had some doubts about the system of prefectures and counties.

Richard smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, there is no problem with the county system."

Richard knew very well that many of the systems enacted by Qin Shihuang were not problematic, otherwise there would be no such thing as the Qin law being followed by subsequent generations. It is said that Qin's laws are harsh, but are Qin's laws really harsh? You must know that the Han laws of the Han Dynasty were almost copied from the Qin laws, but the penalties were reduced.

The system of prefectures and counties was implemented in later generations for thousands of years after its emergence in the Qin Dynasty. Even in later republics, the shadow of the system of prefectures and counties can be seen.

But why did the Qin Dynasty implement these systems and eventually fall apart? This is because it is too eager.

"However, His Majesty is too eager to implement the county system."

"Too urgent?" Ying Zheng asked in surprise.

"Yes." Richard nodded and said: "Since the implementation of the prefecture and county system, the imperial court's control over Guandong has declined. In a short period of time, the imperial court lacked a large number of officials, and as a result, the prefecture and county system was forcibly implemented, which will lead to this kind of situation. result."

"Your Majesty must already know."

Ying Zheng nodded. He discovered this from Heibingtai's report. The imperial court's control over the counties in Guandong was very weak.

"Your Majesty, the imperial court has been fighting for years and has imposed a large amount of labor, which has caused great damage to production in various parts of the world and has affected the operation of the imperial court."

"And those counties in remote areas are almost as far away as the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and they have become the de facto emperor of the earth."

"Master Immortal, what should we do?" Ying Zheng asked.

"The system of prefectures and counties can now be implemented, but it can only be implemented in places that the imperial court can control. For places with inconvenient transportation or long distances, states can be divided into states."

"In areas where the roads are far away, the roads are difficult, and the power of the court is weak, we can entrust the states and then send the princes to entrust them."

"Those princes will go there with an army, and then form their own team to rule the country. In this way, with the princes and the army in charge, these people and the place will naturally be stable."

"But what if, in a few generations, those countries become bigger and threaten the imperial power?"

"It's very simple. Those countries can be divided again in advance!" Richard said with a smile.

"Again enfeoffment?"

"Yes, after the imperial court divides the kingdoms and the princes go there, after those princes give birth to sons, His Majesty can issue an order for the heads of each kingdom to allocate the kingdoms to several sons to inherit."

"Then after the sons of these princes are enfeoffed, they will be enfeoffed after their sons grow up."

"After doing this several times, an originally powerful country eventually turned into a dozen or more countries. These countries directly turned into a piece of loose sand. By then, the court would be able to kill them all."

"Those countries can't resist at all. After the last few enfeoffments, these countries will no longer be a threat. If the emperor is not stupid at that time, he can slowly take back these lands."

After those countries managed the original barbarian lands for decades or hundreds of years, the court could almost re-implement the system of prefectures and counties.

"Sir, you are such a talented man, I am suddenly enlightened!" Ying Zheng nodded repeatedly after hearing this, his eyes filled with brilliance.

In fact, this combination of counties and counties and the enfeoffment system was exactly the system implemented by the Han Dynasty, and the subsequent enfeoffment was the famous Tuien Order. With the order of favor, those states could not resist the central court at all. At that time, the states can be settled and the system of prefectures and counties can be implemented throughout the country.

Ying Zheng felt that this system was very suitable for the current Qin State. Although Qin State unified the world, its governance in many remote areas was very low. It is indeed good to implement enfeoffment now.

"By the way, Immortal Master, do you know about Yinghuo Shouxin and the meteorite falling from the sky?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Dongjun meteorite? Of course we know this." Richard said.

"Is this meteorite really a warning from the sky?" Ying Zheng asked.

"It can be said to be a celestial warning, but the characters on the meteorite are fake." Richard said: "The characters on the meteorite were carved by others. The seven characters were written in Qin's seal script, and they also used cinnabar. , it’s man-made at first glance.”

"As expected!" Ying Zheng said with a gloomy expression.

"What are your Majesty going to do?" Richard asked.

"I am going to give an order to arrest all the people within a fifty-mile radius and torture them. We must find that person!" Ying Zheng said.

Richard shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, the person who carved the words on it has probably escaped long ago. Even if you capture those people, you won't be able to find out anything."

"If you arrest or kill those people, they will only be publicized everywhere by those with ulterior motives. Just let those people go."

"Just follow the instructions of the Immortal and let all those people go!" Ying Zheng nodded and agreed.

"Chief Immortal, Fusu returned to Beijing today, but I think he still wants to implement Confucian Confucianism!" Ying Zheng said dissatisfied.

"If that set of things is useful, the princes and countries will not all use it, but he still worships Gui Gao, what should I do?"

Richard smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you can bring Fusu and I will teach him."

Ying Zheng was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately said, "Thank you so much, Immortal."

"Your Majesty, you still have one important thing to do." Richard suddenly said.

"Please ask the Immortal to clarify your doubts!" ​​Ying Zheng asked respectfully.

"Your Majesty, you conquered six kingdoms and swept across the world, but does this world really belong to Qin?" Richard asked.

Ying Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Isn't it?"

"Haha, it's not that easy!" Richard said with a smile: "Although the Six Kingdoms were destroyed, the nobles of the Six Kingdoms were not destroyed!"

"Which noble of the Six Nations is not the local overlord? They have thrived on that land for hundreds of years, and their families are prosperous. They occupy a large amount of land, control a large number of people, and even serve as many local officials. They are completely the same A local emperor. The decrees of the imperial court don’t even carry as much weight as their words.”

"How does the imperial court control this place? How does this place belong to the imperial court?" Richard's words were like a big bell, awakening Ying Zheng instantly.

"Are you the nobles of the Six Kingdoms? No wonder in the future scene, those Six Kingdoms came back easily. The Six Kingdoms of Kanto instantly became full of chaos, and the whole world rebelled. In a short period of time, they became so powerful. So that's how it is!" Ying Zheng murmured! said.

"This damn noble of the Six Kingdoms. When I swept through the Six Kingdoms and moved the royal families of various countries to Xianyang, I was not harsh on them. Is this how they thank me now?"

Ying Zheng said with an ugly expression.

"Your Majesty, if these nobles of the six countries are not dealt with, Qin's system of prefectures and counties will not be implemented at all and will only remain superficial."

"It seems that I am really too kind to them!" Ying Zheng said coldly.

"Chang Immortal, how about I plan to move all the nobles of the six countries to Guanzhong?"

"Of course it's okay!" Richard nodded. It is naturally very good to move the nobles of the six countries into Guanzhong.

The nobles of the Six Kingdoms were able to make trouble in the local area simply because they were local snakes, with a huge network of connections, land, and clans. And once they are forcibly moved to Guanzhong, everything they rely on will eventually disappear.

When they came to Guanzhong, they were not familiar with the place, so they could only be at the mercy of others.

Moreover, although the land in Guanzhong has been reclaimed by the Qin State for hundreds of years, there are still many places that have not been reclaimed. You must know that during the Han Dynasty, the world's population exceeded 60 million at its peak, but now the total population of Qin is less than 40 million.

There are too many wastelands all over the world. Moving those nobles to Guanzhong will not only eliminate their local power, but also enrich Guanzhong. In addition, Guanzhong is under the emperor's feet. These people dare not have any influence in Guanzhong. Violation of law and discipline.

As long as there is a little crime, Ying Zheng has many ways to deal with them. As long as he is willing, these nobles will soon fall.

"Your Majesty, those nobles of the Six Nations can be used to fill the population of Hetao, and the lands in Longyou and Hexi are also very important to Guanzhong. Your Majesty can also use their power to open up the land in Longxi and Hexi."

As Richard said, he waved his hand gently, and saw a flash of light in front of his eyes, and a three-dimensional real-life map appeared in front of him.

Seeing these lands, the First Emperor was stunned for a moment. He quickly recognized that the image in front of him was actually a map of Qin. And compared with those maps collected by Qin State, the map in front of me is exquisite and ingenious.

"This is the map of Qin. This is Hexi, here is Longyou, Hetao, and here are the countries in the Western Regions!" Richard zoomed in on the map. Qin Shihuang's eyes widened. He actually saw the mountains and rivers clearly, and could even see A tree on the map.

"Chief Immortal, are the people here real?" Ying Zheng said suddenly.

"Of course it's true!" Richard said with a smile: "This map is me using my magic power to reflect the world and display the current regions here."

As Richard waved his hand, the map instantly moved to Xianyang City. Then the map zoomed in, and Ying Zheng actually saw the crowds of people walking on the streets of Xianyang City.

"The immortal's magic is indeed exquisite!" Ying Zheng said enviously.

"If your majesty can be deified by the heaven after death, these little ways can also be mastered." Richard said with a smile.

Ying Zheng took a deep breath and decided in his heart that he must govern the world well and then be deified after death.

"Your majesty, the Qin army swept across the world and unified the world, but after pacifying the world, you did not distribute too many benefits to them. This is also one of the reasons why the old Qin people were unwilling to fight for the country later."

"Now we can take the opportunity to migrate some of the old Qin people to the six countries in Shandong, and divide some of the land of the nobles of the six countries to them. After seeing such rewards, the old Qin people will naturally become the invincible army again!"

"Immortal, I understand, I will let people prepare!" After Richard's narration, Ying Zheng has understood the current problems of Qin State and has a solution.

After leaving here, Ying Zheng immediately went back to prepare to draft an edict. He planned to enfeoff his adult sons to various places to establish states, and at the same time, he planned to enfeoff some meritorious officials.

He planned to enfeoff the wild lands such as Lingnan, Wuyue, and Jingnan, while the Central Plains would continue to be used to implement the county system.

Next, Ying Zheng began to order Heibingtai to collect information about the nobles of the six countries from various places to prepare for the forced migration of the nobles of the six countries. He had already planned that some of the nobles of the six countries would migrate to Guanzhong, and some would migrate to Hetao and Hexi.

With the help of the power of these nobles of the six countries, he would open up Hexi and Longyou.

After seeing Richard's map today, he suddenly had a new goal, which was to open up the Western Regions. From that map, the Western Regions still had vast lands, which were very rich, and the Western Regions had a close relationship with the Xiongnu in the north. He wanted to cut off the connection between the Western Regions and the Xiongnu.

The climate in the Western Regions of this era was much more humid than that of modern times, with fertile land and rich products. Now that he had seen it, how could Ying Zheng let it go?

Moreover, this was also a strategy to encircle the Xiongnu.

The First Emperor had made up his mind to continue to expand the world, but he could not be impatient about this expansion, as he wanted the Qin Dynasty to continue.
