Task?

As Zhao Heng's words fell, Ying Zheng and Wang Qian's eyes couldn't help but show a hint of weirdness.

In the entire Great Qin, the person who dared to arrange tasks for His Majesty the First Emperor was estimated to be the only one in front of him.

If it were someone else, even if there were a hundred heads, it would not be enough to cut off.

But this person in front of him is a little gentleman, a legendary immortal, who can not only make them immortal, but also make Great Qin prosperous for all generations, no matter what he does or says, it is a matter of course.

"You should also know very well that whether it is my walled city, or the entire Great Qin, or the large territory that we will conquer in the future, if you want to better manage and develop, population is the foundation."

Zhao Heng pondered, and then continued: "It can be said that if we don't have enough population, even if we conquer the whole world in the future, we will definitely waste a large area of land, seven continents and four oceans, the land is dozens of times that of Great Qin, but Great Qin only has a population of 30 million, which is really too little." ”

Hearing his words, Ying Zheng and Wang Jian were silent.

It seems that they do take it for granted.

If there is not enough population to occupy it, no amount of territory will be wasted.

No matter how big the world is, no matter how many territories there are, it must be occupied and managed by people.

"Therefore, if we want to solve this problem, we must make every effort to develop the population, such as encouraging the people to have more children, and the more children they have, the better the benefits they will get, such as implementing the medical insurance system, improving the survival rate of newborns, and so on."

Zhao Heng continued: "Also, whether it is in treating the wounded or strengthening armaments, we must also achieve the greatest degree of protection to reduce the casualties of the soldiers. ”

Ying Zheng and Wang Jian are both listening quietly at the moment, as if students are listening attentively to the teacher's lecture.

"As long as we have a sufficient population and the people of the country live and work in peace, we can start conquering the world without any worries."

Zhao Hengdao.

In fact, he still has some things that he didn't take out right now.

For example, in terms of communication and transportation, he needs to get at least two things like the telephone and the train in order to really control the vast territory.

"Another point, although I agree that Qin's laws are strict and complete, some punishments also need to be revised."

Zhao Heng's eyes looked at the two of them and said, "Before Great Qin unified the Six Kingdoms, the harsh punishments could indeed better maintain stability, but now, what Great Qin needs most is to recuperate and recuperate, so that the people can at least live a stable life. ”

After the unification of the six countries, although the people were exempted from the pain of war, all kinds of harsh taxes and heavy forced labor still overwhelmed the people.

The construction of the Great Wall, the passage of the road, the Wuling Mountains, the construction of the Afang Palace, the repair of the Emperor's Mausoleum, etc., requisitioned millions of conscripts.

If there are not enough men in the households, the women are also required to serve in the conscription.

In addition, Qin Law's punishment was too harsh, ranging from cutting off hands and feet, picking noses and ears, and destroying the entire sect.

It is precisely because of these two points that Great Qin will be called a tyrant, and Yingzheng will also be called a tyrant.

Others may not know, but Zhao Heng knows that if Qin Lu does not carry out changes and continues to be rampant, even if Yingzheng does not die, one day in the future, there is still a possibility that the world will be in chaos.

"Little sir, do you want to abolish torture, or even change the law?"

Ying Zheng's eyes flashed slightly, and he asked Zhao Heng.

Wang Jian was also staring at Zhao Heng tightly at the moment, although he was already mentally prepared, but when he heard that Zhao Heng was going to change the law, he still couldn't help but feel shocked and deeply admired.

"Well, we can inherit Qin's laws, but we must also make changes."

Zhao Heng nodded.

"Little sir, do you also think that you should govern the country with benevolence?"

Ying Zheng's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked again.

He promoted Legalism, and he really didn't like the Confucian system.

"You're mistaken."

Zhao Heng shook his head and said, "I don't want to abandon the law and follow benevolence, and I will even continue to improve the law and truly govern the country according to law." ”

"If that's the case, then why can't Qin Law?"

Ying Zhengdao.

In his opinion, if the law is not strict, how can the country be governed?

"Qin law is the foundation of the founding of the Great Qin State."

Zhao Heng groaned and said: "Shang Ying's reform is indeed very successful, so that Daqin's national strength can be rapidly enhanced, and everyone thinks about war, it can be said that it is precisely because of Qin's law that Daqin has the foundation to dominate the world." ”

After a pause, he continued: "However, the law of the Shang monarch is only applicable to Great Qin during the period of conquest, but not to Great Qin in peacetime. ”

"Moreover, the law reform and law popularization should be carried out at the same time, so that all the people can know the law and abide by the law."

Historically, the reason why Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were able to successfully launch the Daze Revolution was precisely because they were charged with the crime of "missing the deadline and should be beheaded", and then took advantage of the fact that the people did not know the law and understood the law, so they were responded.

Zhao Heng's words made both Ying Zheng and Wang Jian fall into deep thought.

"If the law is not heavy, how can the sinners be punished?"

For a long time, Ying Zheng stared at Zhao Heng and questioned.

"You're mistaken again."

Zhao Heng smiled and said: "Changing the law is not equal to a weak law, the real law of governing the world should protect the law-abiding people and punish the law-breaking people. If one person violates the law, he will be punished alone, judged according to the crime, and supplemented by the corresponding reward and punishment system, why worry about the people's disobedience and the country's instability? ”

In his opinion, the method of sitting together is indeed a bit inhumane, although it will lead to other problems after it is canceled, but basically it can be said that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

As for the anti-sitting method, he is actually more supportive.

What is the anti-sitting method, which means that if you make a false accusation against someone, then you will be punished for the same crime.

For example, if you falsely accuse someone of stealing, you will be convicted of stealing.

In a way, the anti-sitting method is better than the false accusation of the later generations.

"What we need to do is to better protect the law-abiding and obedient people, so that the people of the world know that as long as they respect the law and abide by the law, they can be stable and prosperous, and at the same time, we must also use the punishment of the law-breaking people to warn them, so that they can understand that if they dare to violate the law, they will definitely be punished, so that the country can truly be governed according to law."

Zhao Heng's words made both Ying Zheng and Wang Jian realize that the true essence of governing the country according to law does not lie in torture and heavy punishment, but in taking punishment as a warning and punishment as a manifestation.

Torture can indeed serve as a deterrent, but can it really prevent the emergence of rioters?

If law-abiding obedient people cannot be protected by the law, and even will be punished by the law for no reason, then who wants to obey the law honestly?

I am afraid that in the long run, even if the people of Shun do not dare to cross the thunder pond by half a step, they will definitely regard the law as a tiger in their hearts.

If there is any hope of overturning this law, it is very likely that it will spiral out of control.

"Little sir, the task you are talking about is to ask me to revise Qin Law?"

Ying Zheng's eyes looked at Zhao Heng and asked.
