Chapter 20 The whole people change the law!

Qin Zheng handed the fragrant wood in his hand to Zheng Ling, and looked at the frightened people with a serious face.

"People of Great Qin, are you afraid? Are you panicking? Qin Zheng's eyes widened and he scanned the entire square:

"Are you scared at the sound of a sound? Are you still not old Qin? My lords, tell you what was going on just now! ”

In fact, the three hundred knights in the front row just now were guessing the source of the sound, and now that Qin Zheng asked so, they naturally guessed it. After all, they have only used it once, but they are really impressed!

"It's the artifact Heavenly Thunder!"

A few brave warrior knights were the first to speak, and other knights joined in one after another.

Although the knights shouted more and more excited, the people and even the officials next to them were still at a loss, but no one dared to come forward to ask.

At this time, Qin Zheng took a small bamboo tube and a lit incense tree, and everyone was immediately attracted to it, and everyone was waiting for his next move.

Qin Zheng picked up the low-profile version of the Diamond Monkey and reached out to light the thread. All I heard was "Whoosh-boom!" With two sounds, the Drill Monkey instantly rushed into the sky, and immediately exploded into ashes.

This time, everyone saw it with their own eyes, and the knights, who were originally immersed in "watching", returned to their excited state, and kept shouting in unison: "Artifact!" Thunder! ”

Qin Zheng gestured several times, and the knights barely stopped.

Qin Zheng was able to continue: "Sons of Great Qin, this is one of the things I learned in my sleep from the hands of the sages and gods.

The sages said: The world of great controversy is back, and only by constantly changing the law and reforming and learning and promoting this knowledge can Great Qin once again dominate the world! ”

"Really? Can Daqin still dominate the world? ”

"Are you from Qin? Isn't Han Wei defeated? ”

"With this artifact, you can definitely win!"

"I just don't know what to change the law?"

After listening to these remarks, Qin Zheng understood that the old Qin people would not be as silent as the people of many dynasties, and they had long understood that only by actively participating in the reform of the law could they reap the benefits.

"Since I mentioned the change, I have to read the prime minister's inventory report first, so that I can give you an explanation:

First of all, the territory, and now it has been determined that the areas that are still controlled by our Great Qin are related to Zhong, Hanzhong, Beidi County, and Shang County. Now add south of Pyeongyang in South Korea.

The second is the number of households, Daqin has 970,000 households, a total of 3,758,755 people, 543,500 young and strong, of which 3,205,000 live in Guanzhong and Hanzhong, 280,000 fewer than in 26 years, all of them are young and strong.

The third is money and grain, at present, Daqin coins are very abundant, but there is a lack of mines in Chudi, and it is difficult to predict in the future.

The food supply is also optimistic, and even if you don't have rations, a few warehouses of grain will be enough for winter and spring sowing.

But I can say unambiguously that the land at this time was far less fertile than twenty-six years old, and the climate was drier.

The fourth is the surrounding situation, there are now some nomadic herders active in Jiuyuan County in the north, but they do not have the ability to enter the Great Wall.

To the east were the Han and Wei families, and Korea had been wiped out by General Wang Li, and the Wei state had also been repulsed. But we don't have the power to govern this place for the time being, and there are tens of millions of Koreans there.

To the southeast is Shang, yes is that Yin Shang, it seems that the technology is backward at present, and he has no strength to fight us. Moreover, the merchant has an old relationship with us, and it is possible that we can make friends, and I have already sent a letter of state.

There are many rogue horse thieves in the west, who have been invading the border, but the specific situation is unknown, the scouts are still investigating, and the same is true in the south, our army has not gone out of the border to go deeper. ”

Qin Zheng said a lot in one breath, and although the people of Great Qin below had been listening, they didn't know what he meant at all. No matter how you look at these things, it's not something that they can manage, right?

The civil and military officials next to him were also a little at a loss, and the court meeting had never said these things in such detail, and they told everyone to listen? Isn't this the work of a thousand stones, two thousand stones? What the hell is going on with their majesty?

Qin Zheng glanced at everyone again, looked at their reactions, and said earnestly: "

The reason why I say so much today is to tell you that this world has become a chaotic time again, and it must be even more chaotic than before. And we are now understaffed and do not understand the enemy, so we must change the law.

But to change the law, you must first have the strength to protect yourself, this time we arrested Han Houwu, Han Xiangshen is not harmful, and he is a figure who changed the law in history, but now they are just prisoners.

Therefore, under the guidance of the sages and gods, I have found a new way to change the law, that is, to change the law for all! ”

At this time, Zhao Gao suddenly said: "Your Majesty? What is the change of the law for all? ”

Qin Zheng glanced at Zhao Gao, and suddenly understood why Ying Zheng favored him. He said so much just now, most of the others just listened silently, and only Zhao Gao was helping him answer.

"Mencius once said to me: Since the government of Xia Zhizhi won the world with the family, both the Shang and Zhou dynasties were governed by nobles, the people of the country obeyed, the savages watched the plays, and the slaves labored.

However, gradually the people, regardless of the country, are actually the main components of the country, a big river. And the royal eunuch is a boat on the river, floating on the water.

The people are happy to be able to sail into the sea with a boat, and if the people are unhappy, they can set off waves and capsize the boat, which is the truth of the boat and the people's water. ”

The metaphor quoted by Qin Zheng is very vivid, although the people are not highly educated, they also nod unconsciously.

However, the aristocratic officials who have been influenced by the Legalist rule of law school next to them are a little worried. The biggest drawback of the Qin law is that the law is not above the king. Now Wang is openly propagating the Confucian idea of "benevolence", which is shaking the foundation of Legalism!

Yingyi was both a Legalist and a prince, and suddenly felt bad, and hurriedly opened her mouth to admonish Qin Zheng. As a result, Qin Zheng waved his hand and signaled him to calm down:

"Some people say that my Great Qin is based on the law, and the way of Mencius is benevolent government.

Therefore, I also have a comparison with the law, the law is like the embankment of a big river, and if the river has no bank, it will be scattered into the soil, and it will not become a climate. If the shore is not high enough, the river is not deep enough, and it will not be able to carry large boats.

Only when the law binds the people and the people unite and contribute can the ship move forward quickly and steadily. It is possible that the boat is carrying the materials for the construction of the embankment, the person who designed the embankment.

Therefore, my idea is that the specific methods and amendments to the law will be designed by me and the hundred officials, and the people will elect representatives to listen to the reactions, and the officials at all levels in various localities will implement them, and the people will supervise them with the law.

This is my three-in-one theory of national reform, and I plan to listen to the statements of the people of Chang'an, the hundred officials of the capital, and the elite of the new army now. ”

Qin Zheng's scorching gaze swept over everyone, but everyone was still digesting this advanced theory, and they didn't know how to speak.

At this time, Wang Limeng, who had been silent, stood up and took a step ahead of the "King of Support" Zhao Gao: "Your Majesty, whether it is the law of Shangjun, the art of Mencius, or the Trinity, only Your Majesty's thoughts are our thoughts."

Our new army is the army of Great Qin, and it is also the army of His Majesty, and we will always support the king's decision and always protect the king's safety! ”

When the martial knights below heard this, they also shouted: "We are waiting to support the king!" Protect the King! ”

Although Qin Zheng was expressionless, he was still very relieved in his heart, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with his treatment of the soldiers.

And all the people in the audience saw their heroes, and the elite martial knights all supported Qin Zheng. Qin Zheng said so reasonably, and began to shout one after another: "Support Your Majesty!" Trinity, reform for all! ”

Here, Zhao Gao also hurriedly glanced at Prime Minister Yingyi, although Yingyi still had concerns, but he could only take the lead in supporting this situation.

Yingyi bowed to Qin Zheng and said: "The old minister is also willing to support His Majesty on behalf of the hundred officials and implement the Trinity National Reform!" ”

Qin Zheng nodded his head and nodded: "The people are the solid cornerstone, the officials are the pillars of the building, with such a country, how can my great cause of changing the law not succeed?" How could Great Qin not be able to unify the world? ”

"Change! Change the law for all! ”

"Trinity! Unify the world! ”

"Your Majesty for ten thousand years, Great Qin for ten thousand years!"

Qin Zheng listened to the boiling shouts of the audience, and he was also very excited, and he pulled out his sword, raised it above his head, and shouted:

"The gods of heaven and earth, the ancestors and the ancestors are above, and today the whole people of Daqin will change the law! It's endless! ”
