Chu Huan was thoughtful, but at this time, Su Zhongyan had already brought the tea, put a tea case between the grandfather and Chu Huan, put down the tea that had just been brewed, and immediately retreated.

"Chu Du, in fact, you also understand that the real purpose of the imperial court sending you to the northwest was just to find someone to balance in the northwest." The old lady picked up the teacup, picked up the tea lid, took a puff of the tea, blew a breath, tasted it, and then continued: "The imperial court also knew at that time that Zhu Lingyue had become a climate in the northwest, and if it was left unchecked, the entire northwest would completely lose control and become an independent kingdom. It's just that the imperial court was already weak at that time, and it wanted to meddle in the northwest, but it was powerless to ......! Staring at Chu Huan, he said, "Let's put it this way, in fact, after the Qin State Kingdom, there has always been only coercion on the three northwestern provinces, not coercion. ”

"Oh?"

The old lady smiled faintly and said: "If you take a closer look at the history of the Northwest after the establishment of the Northwest State, you should understand that the Northwest has never really fully integrated into the Qin State. I'm already old, and I'm not afraid to say some taboo words, and this old head is not worth much, so some words are not afraid of taboos. In the previous dynasty, the Hua Dynasty spent more than 200 years, produced several Ming monarchs, implemented benevolent governance, and the common people lived some good lives in the Hua Dynasty, so they all knew that there was a Hua Dynasty. You must know that it took a total of 11 years for the Hua Dynasty to destroy Wu back then, and after the founding of the country, it took nearly 15 years to take the whole world into its pocket, but do you know how many years it took for all the people in the world to really surrender? ”

"Not to mention other places, this northwest land, the Hua Dynasty was established for more than 30 years, or the rebellion is endless, and then there are two promising Ming monarchs, who have implemented benevolent government for nearly 40 years, and the people in the northwest have really received the favor of the Hua Dynasty, and feel that the emperor above still knows how to sympathize with the people, so they gradually accepted the Hua Dynasty, in other words, only the people in the northwest, until the establishment of the Hua Dynasty for nearly 70 years, after five emperors, received the benefits of benevolent government, and then really returned to the heart." The old lady said slowly: "The people's hearts are actually not so easy to subdue, it takes time, and it also needs benevolent government, the Hua Dynasty really won the hearts of the people in the northwest, and it took nearly seventy years for the people in the northwest to really be willing to admit that they are great Chinese people from their hearts, so what about the current Qin Dynasty?" He raised his hand and raised two fingers, "For more than 20 years, the throne is still the king of the country, even if the monarch of the Qin State restores the people's livelihood and seeks the well-being of the people throughout his life, it may not really make the people truly return to their hearts, unless his son, his grandson, continues to implement benevolent government and continue to regain the hearts of the people, the people of the world will slowly return to their ......hearts." ”

Chu Huan bowed slightly, "The world of those who win the hearts of the people, if there is no people's heart, there will be no world." ”

"That's the truth, whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world." The old lady said with a smile: "I have to say that the current emperor of the Qin State is really good at martial arts, commanding the Great Qin Iron Cavalry, sweeping all directions, and after the founding of the country, he has almost pacified all the forces in the country in the shortest possible time...... And he also thought about making great efforts, if he really worked hard and loved the people all his life, and a few promising future kings continued to implement benevolent government and rest with the people, maybe it would take a few decades to make the people return to their hearts...... It's a pity that he has been working hard for only ten years, and the people have not eased up, he is like a different person, from a promising king who should have made great achievements to a tyrannical king who does not care about the people's livelihood, you say, in just 20 years, the people of the world will have a sense of belonging to the Qin State? ”

Chu Huan groaned slightly and shook his head.

He knew that the old lady's words today were probably prepared, maybe the old lady was just waiting for him to come over and say these words to himself.

Chu Huan also had to admit that although the old lady's words were not easy to publicize, what he said made a lot of sense.

Although the Qin State has been established for more than 20 years, but if you want to make the people of the world return to their hearts, it is by no means possible in just 20 years, just like between people, as long as you are completely familiar with each other, and perceive the friendliness of each other to yourself, you can go from acquaintance to acquaintance, from acquaintance to acquaintance, and after the accumulation of time, you can have trust in each other.

What the old lady said is right, not only has the Qin State seen it for too short a time, but also has not been favored by the people, in this case, it is extremely difficult to make the people have a strong sense of belonging to the Great Qin Empire.

"Let's talk about the northwest, after the Qin state, the hearts of the people in the northwest have not really begotten attached, of course the emperor understands this, if he takes a gentle policy and appeases well, the result may be much better, but in fact, since the state of Qin, the emperor has always adopted the strategy of first closing the middle and then outside the gate, what he wants is to buy the hearts of the people in the customs first, completely control the people, and then free up his hands to subdue the hearts of the people outside the customs." Although the old lady is old and looks old and withered, his thinking is still clear, and his mind is still clear, "It is outside the Guan, and it is also divided into Kanto and our relationship, he is also Kanto first and then Kansai, it is not good to say, if they are all his children, this Kansai is the most unfavored child." ”

Chu Huan listened to the old lady's words, and gradually understood the reason, and only then did he understand why the old lady said at the beginning that the people in the northwest did not have much attachment to Great Qin, and it was obvious that the Qin Empire had not taken much care of the northwest since its founding.

"Zhu Lingyue is just a governor, why did he rise so quickly after a war?" The old lady's voice was very indifferent: "Of course, Zhu Lingyue is good at wrists, but it is precisely because the Qin State does not have the hearts of the people in the northwest, so Zhu Lingyue can easily take advantage of the situation, and the court knows that Zhu Lingyue will definitely become a climate, and from the beginning you will be transferred to Xiguan as the governor, maybe I just hope that you can disturb the flowing water in the northwest, Chu Du, you have today's result, I am afraid that many people can't think of it." ”

Chu Huan had already said solemnly: "Uncle, I know in my heart that without your help, I would not be able to stand in Xiguan. ”

The emperor's intentions, Chu Huan has long been clear, it is nothing more than seeing that Zhu Lingyue has become a climate in the northwest, although the imperial court does not have the energy to deal with the northwest, but it can't let it go, so he sent himself to disturb the northwest, if possible, to achieve a balance in the northwest and curb the development of Zhu Lingyue, the imperial court is obviously helpless, maybe this is the way the imperial court has no choice, and even the imperial court itself did not think that Chu Huan could really contain Zhu Lingyue, but just hoped that with Chu Huan's ability, the development of Zhu Lingyue would be delayed as much as possible, Hinder Zhu Lingyue from dominating the northwest and buy a certain amount of time for the imperial court.

In the final analysis, the imperial court sent Chu Huan to the northwest, in fact, it was to throw Chu Huan into the ghost gate, in the imperial court's thoughts, if Chu Huan has the ability, he will slightly delay Zhu Lingyue's expansion momentum, if he can't, he will naturally die in the northwest without a place to be buried, maybe everyone thought so at that time, including Zhu Lingyue, maybe they would think that Chu Huan was just an abandoned son sent by the imperial court.

But the ending made everyone dumbfounded, Chu Huan not only did not die in the northwest, but controlled Xiguan in the shortest possible time, and then broke the North Mountain, Dingtian Mountain, and now has the right to say a word in the northwest, this result, not only others did not expect it, Chu Huan himself may not have thought of it, but he clearly knew that although this qiē was because of his own efforts, it was definitely indispensable to the help of the Xiguan gentry led by the seven surnames of Xiguan.

Because of the strong support of the seven surnames of Xiguan, the gentry class of Xiguan accepted Chu Huan, when Chu Huan had not fully mastered Xiguan, it was precisely because of the help of these people that his decree was implemented, only the Juntian Order, if there was no Xiguan Seven surnames to take the lead in standing up to support Chu Huan, and also taking the lead in accepting the land inspection, Chu Huan's Juntian policy will be difficult to implement, once the Juntian Order cannot be implemented, Chu Huan will not be able to get the support and awe of the people of Xiguan, without the support of the people of Xiguan, Chu Huan will not have a zài foundation, Chu Huan did not forget it, before the decisive battle with Zhu Lingyue, the soldiers under his command said that they were willing to follow Chu Huan to fight to the death, the purpose of which was because the family could share the land and no longer starve in the future.

Chu Huan's foundation has been firmly branded in the northwest.

"Back then, Yanmen Pass guarded 100,000 troops." The old lady said slowly: "Think about it, although Yanmen Pass is the first male pass, you need to support so many people?" How much money does it cost each year? How much more will the people in the northwest take out of this silver? The 100,000 army, of course, is also to guard against the Western Liang people, but the real purpose is actually to suppress the northwest, the reason is very simple, from the very beginning, the Qin State has never really trusted the northwest, and the northwest has not really been attached to the Qin State. He stroked his white beard, "The Qin State Iron Cavalry can suppress the bodies of the people in the northwest and make them dare not speak, but to subdue people's hearts, it has never been by force." ”

"Yes, force can make people temporarily submissive, but if you want to be truly obedient, force has no effect." Chu Huan said with emotion: "Uncle, I have benefited a lot from today's teaching. ”

The old lady laughed, and then said: "Chu Du, what you did after you went to the northwest, the people of the northwest applauded, you should understand their thoughts, the people are the sky, those who follow the sky live, and those who go against the sky die, this truth, Chu Du, you should understand more than the old man." He raised his head, and at this time the sky had darkened, as if he was talking to himself, and seemed to be saying to Chu Huan: "There is no way for the Qin State to return to the sky, and the northwest is ...... A new master is also needed, this is the way of heaven! ”——
