After the two monarchs and ministers bowed to each other, Qin Shi Huang tightly took Chen Xu's hand and said: "Regarding the matter of the prince, Aiqing should already know my worries, Fu Sufei is the best candidate for the prince, but the inheritance of the ancient monarchy and princeship is all about establishing the elder and not the young, and the heir is not virtuous. ”

"Previously, I had been worried about three things, one is the Baiyue in Lingnan, the second is the Hun Hu in the northwest, and the third is the remnants of the Six Kingdoms. For the land of Lingnan, I also tried Aiqing's encroachment strategy first, and wait a year later to see how the results are, as for the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, it is my most worrying place, I traveled to the southeast last year, and encountered six bandit attacks, Ran Feng is the strongest, and Bolangsha is the most sinister, and these two times are Aiqing's warning in advance to avoid escaping, and the remnants of the Six Kingdoms forget Qin's heart for a day if they don't die, then Daqin will not be at peace for a day, When Aiqing said that he wanted to reduce taxes, I felt worried, if there was not enough food to support, my Great Qin would not be able to support a million soldiers, and if there were not enough soldiers, how could I be able to maintain the stability of my Great Qin, this is a contrary reason, and I can't let go of it......"

Qin Shi Huang said this and looked at Chen Xu: "It's not that I can't lightly cultivate and raise the people!" However, the situation in the world is not a good opportunity! ”

"Your Majesty's Dao?" Chen Xu asked indifferently.

"I don't have a deep understanding of Go, I only know a little about it!" Qin Shi Huang made no secret of his Go skills, sat down and said with a smile, "Could it be that Aiqing wants to play a game with me?" ”

Chen Xu hurriedly shook his head like a rattle: "Your Majesty, the minister is not proficient in Go, but what the minister wants to say is that the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear, and many times the opponents are not as clear as the bystanders!" ”

"Well, Aiqing is right, I feel this way!" Qin Shi Huang nodded.

"Governing the country is actually the same, Your Majesty is in the game, although you are watching and listening to all directions, but you are always attracted by the opponent's chess pieces, and you can't jump out of the chess game to look at this matter, although the remnants of the Six Kingdoms are disturbed, but in fact, the overall situation of this game of chess has been decided, and the victory has long been in the hands of Your Majesty, in this case, why should Your Majesty be so worried and heavily guarded, in the face of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, what Your Majesty has to do is not to strictly defend it, but to break its foundation, and then slowly encircle and annihilate it."

"Please also tell Aiqing in detail!" Qin Shi Huang's expression was quite moved.

"The remnants of the six countries, all of them are descendants of the nobles of the previous six kings and grandchildren, lurking in the people and ready to move, but these people have no generals, two have no weapons, three have no strategists, they seem to be chaotic on weekdays, but in fact the dragons have no leader, and the people who rely on them are only the ears of the people of the six countries, and the people of the six countries are now all under Your Majesty, they are either full or poor in Your Majesty, the people take food as the sky, if they continue to work hard and pay harsh taxes, the people are still short of food and clothing, if they are lightly paid, the people of the world are worry-free for several years, Once the people have no worries about food and clothing, they will not regenerate their dissenting hearts, and the remnants of the six countries will inevitably lose the hearts of the people, which is like a tree vine, whose foundation is the people of the six countries, and if its foundation is broken, this tree vine will slowly wither. ”

"Since Your Majesty has already taken the initiative, why should you bear the pressure to defend it strictly, the current pressure bearer is not Your Majesty, but the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, Your Majesty does not need to make a big move, just use two strategies to beat the remnants of the Six Nations to throw away their armor! This game of chess is bound to be a big win. ”

"Which two strategies?" Qin Shi Huang's face was serious, and there was a glint in his eyes.

"First, lightly pay for the meager endowment!"

"Second, loosen the household registration!"

"Your Majesty, the people of the Six Kingdoms are not familiar with the laws of my Great Qin, and they have never experienced such a strict household registration management system, and the strategy of heavy agriculture and suppression of merchants is also a great suppression for the merchants of the Six Kingdoms. The conscription of prisoners and slaves will cause the people's dissatisfaction with the court, and at the same time, the court will also arrange the transportation of a large amount of food and tools, but if the road construction is handed over to the merchants, then the matter can be easily solved, because the operation of the merchants must be different from the strategy of the imperial court, and there is no need for the court to worry about messy things that disturb the people, and the final result is the same, that is, Daqin has obtained a smooth road, so in order to speed up the construction of Daqin, we can't help but loosen the restrictions on the peasants, and also loosen the bonds for the merchants, Tax reduction for merchants, so that commerce can develop faster, and at the same time, it is necessary to loosen the restrictions on craftsmen, so that all craftsmen can freely make and sell utensils, only the people of the world are free to work and labor, then the materials must be greatly enriched, Your Majesty previously asked the minister how the Tang Dynasty governed the country in the Anecdotes of Kyushu, then the minister can now answer Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty and the Great Qin are the same at the moment, using the official system of three provinces, six ministries and nine products, but Shinong industry and commerce have no distinction between high and low, and the monarch and the minister work hard, In just a few years, Datang has become a prosperous and prosperous era! ”

After listening to this, Qin Shi Huang was silent for a long time and then nodded and said: "The authorities are obsessed with bystanders, it seems that I do have a clear understanding that I can't see in the chess game, and I must think carefully about what Aiqing said today." ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Chen Xu stood up and smiled and arched his hand, "The minister has been greedy lately, making an improved ice powder, and the minister invites His Majesty to taste it!" ”

Qin Shi Huang also stood up with a smile on his face: "Okay, I have heard that it is fruit pulp ice powder, just to satisfy my cravings!" ”

"Your Majesty, please!" Chen Xu pushed open the door of the study.

"Father!" Fusu stood in the courtyard with Ziying in his hands, his face helpless.

"Humph!" Qin Shi Huang snorted coldly and brushed his sleeves away.

"Childe, please!" Chen Xu's face was kind, and he asked Fusu to go with Ziying.

When he came to the restaurant, Chen Xu instructed the chef to bring out the prepared pulp ice powder for the emperor, Fusu and Ziying to taste.

After eating two bowls of ice powder with fruit flesh and ice powder, Qin Shi Huang ordered him to drive back to the palace, and Fusu also left with his children.

"Childe is so depressed, was he scolded by the emperor?" Seeing thousands of black-pressed forbidden troops escorting the emperor's guard of honor away, Yu Wuya stood next to Chen Xu with an iron sword and asked curiously.

"Well, sort of, he scolded me for the sake of my face!" Chen Xu nodded.

"Eun Gong, you are so bad!" Yu Wuya shrugged.

Chen Xu turned around and walked back with a dark face.

This kind of thing is not clear from Yu Wuya's rectum.

If it weren't for Chen Xu, Qin Shi Huang would never have said this today.

But speaking out today, if Fusu can't make changes, it is estimated that he will really have no chance to be an emperor in this life.

The emperor has made it clear that he will never allow a son who admires Confucianism to succeed him at the helm of Great Qin.

And Qin Shi Huang was able to say this, naturally because of Chen Xu, and at the same time, he also expressed the emperor's position to Chen Xu.

As for teaching children and babies to tell the fables of the Lu family's Spring and Autumn Period, Chen Xu is naturally not untargeted.

Carving a boat for a sword is a story recorded in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Lü family, and the emperor must know this story, because the Spring and Autumn Period of the Lü family was dedicated to the emperor after Lü Buwei organized people to compile it, and the emperor had not officially ascended the throne at that time, so he must have read it in its entirety, but after Lü Buwei's death, this imperial masterpiece that cost Lü Buwei countless efforts was put on the shelf.

Using a story in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Lu family to teach the child is something that Chen Xu has long prepared, no matter whether the emperor listens to it today or not, he will definitely know the origin of the story.

Chen Xu just expressed his thoughts to the emperor, that is, the times change, everything changes due to the situation, and you can't stick to the narrow things in front of you, Lu Buwei is a businessman, and he has a very deep understanding of commerce, and knows that the simultaneous development of agriculture and commerce is a good policy for governing the country.

In fact, for governing the country, Lü's Spring and Autumn Period is based on Confucian theory, based on Taoist Huang Lao thought, with name, law, ink, agriculture, soldiers, Yin and Yang thought and doctrine as the material, melting the hundred schools of thought as a furnace, forming a very rich and theoretically detailed statecraft, in Chen Xu's view, than Xunzi's etiquette rule of law is more in line with today's Great Qin, but unfortunately Qin Shi Huang is too advocating magic, coupled with dissatisfaction with Lü Buwei, Such a set of statecraft was discarded.

And now that Great Qin needs to develop the economy rapidly, it is necessary to change the national policy of Great Qin as soon as possible, so put Lü Chunqiu to see how the emperor reacts, after all, it has been twenty years since Lü Buwei died, and Qin Shi Huang was not the king of Qin that day, many things should have been seen more clearly, and the blocks in his heart have already begun to loosen, but no one dared to bring it up to the Manchu Dynasty Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.

Just like when he proposed to occupy Chang Yu's other courtyard for office, Chen Xu's identity is different, his ideas are different, and his status in Qin Shihuang's mind is also different.

Sure enough, the content of today's lesson did not make the emperor react much, and even mentioned his gratitude to Lü Buwei, which shows that the emperor has begun to dissipate the past that made him angry.

The swimming pool in the backyard once again came to the sound of a group of princesses and maids Xing'er and others playing in the water, and without the suppression of the emperor's aura, the Qinghe Courtyard once again returned to its former ease.
