Chapter 139: What is most lacking is time

"All parts of central Fujian are desolate and barbaric. Compared with the Qin State at the time of the Shang Dynasty's reform, it was even more backward. Because the Qin State was already a vassal state before the law change, the law change had an object of support. Li Zuoche said slowly: "But there is no foundation like Qin in Fujian. Not so long ago, the Yue people here were enemies of the Qin state. Naturally, the resistance to the implementation of the law change will be greater. Li Zuoche's words were very careful. But Chen Sheng could still hear the meaning outside the strings.

Li Zuoche obviously knew Chen Sheng's intentions. Chen Sheng wanted to enforce the laws of the Qin state in Fujian. I want to go through a series of changes to narrow the gap between Minzhong County and Qin State as much as possible, and even surpass it in some aspects. But Minzhong County is not the old land of Qin after all. Although Chen Sheng's methods copied the methods of Shang Ying's reform more than 100 years ago, Chen Sheng ignored the most important and fundamental point: public support.

Before Shang Ying's reform, the Qin State was bullied by the Six Kingdoms of Shandong. When the princes were allied, the major vassal states even disdained to be with the Qin state. Coupled with the fact that the powerful Wei State was neighboring the Qin State at that time, Wu Qi, who was invincible at that time, captured a large amount of the Qin State's territory, which made the Qin State humiliated.

In this scenario, the Qin State was under internal and external pressure, and when life and death were at stake, the fate of the immutable law had been revealed, so it was a determination to implement such a change. This change basically offended the nobles of the entire Qin State. However, it was supported by the common people, and the strong national strength of the Qin State was already known. Although the reform was successful, Shang Ying, who presided over the reform, was finally martyred and died at the hands of King Qin Hui.

When Chen Sheng's policy in Fujian was implemented in the Qin State more than a hundred years ago, the resistance was already huge, let alone among the Ouyue natives who had not yet been civilized. Li Zuoche's attitude is obvious, Chen Sheng's method is not wrong, but it does not conform to the people's feelings.

"How can we reduce some of the resistance?" Chen Sheng frowned slightly and sighed.

Faced with this question, Li Zuoche hesitated for a while before he said slowly: "Temporarily change the law." This obviously does not match Chen Sheng's answer. If the law is not changed, it means that Minzhong County is still chaotic, backward and ignorant for a long time. Such a place is not what Chen Sheng wants at all.

"Impossible." Chen Sheng was silent for a while, and said: "The emperor needs me to give results, whether the change is successful or not, this is a watershed. If I do nothing in Fujian, then all my plans will be over. There was obviously a hint of anxiety in Chen Sheng's tone.

"Your Excellency. Hear me out. Li Zuoche said indifferently: "If the law does not change now, it does not mean that it will not change in the future." Nowadays, the implementation of education and literacy in various parts of central Fujian has achieved very good results. This in itself is a process of changing the law, a process of imperceptibly changing the people. It only takes a certain amount of time for these people to automatically integrate into the system of the people of Great Qin. My lord, you are still young and do not lack time. As long as it takes twenty or thirty years, Minzhong County will definitely be able to completely integrate into Daqin. This is an immortal feat, and it is impossible to hurry. ”

Hearing this, Chen Sheng smiled bitterly. After a while, he responded: "Brother Zuoche, what I lack most is time!" ”

Li Zuoche was stunned. Chen Sheng is only seventeen or eighteen years old now. It is a period of heroic development, and it is normal to rush for quick success. But such a tone full of vicissitudes should never come out of Chen Sheng's mouth.

Chen Sheng knew very well that what Li Zuoche said was true. As long as there is enough time to imperceptibly, Minzhong County will be completely integrated into Daqin. But time was not on Chen Sheng's side.

It is now the twenty-seventh year of Qin Shi Huang. In other words, there are at most ten years left for him. In this decade, he must change the world as much as possible. So that the trajectory of history can change. Although he already knew that the treacherous trajectory of history had deviated a little, his intuition told him that what he had done was far from enough. He didn't want the First Emperor to die in the sand dunes, he didn't want Fusu to be killed, and he didn't want to be the first bird in Daze Township and then be suppressed...... That's not what he wanted.

So Chen Sheng was very impatient. I was so impatient that I wanted to rewrite everything in a day and night. He wants to turn Minzhong County into the most solid backing of Great Qin, if a disaster really strikes one day, he has the strength to turn things around, instead of taking a group of indigenous people and waving the sticks in his hands to save Qin.

"Your Excellency. There are priorities for that. Li Zuoche's tone was very steady. From Chen Sheng's eyes, he saw the anxiety in Chen Sheng's heart, and even the vague fear. He didn't understand why the most high-spirited young man in the Great Qin Empire had a city government and pressure that was deeper than that of an adult.

"I know." After pondering for a while, Chen Sheng nodded yes. After exhaling a breath of turbidity, Chen Sheng stood up and said, "Brother Zuoche, it's getting late, let's go out for a few drinks, what do you think?" "Since Ling Suyun left Dongye, Chen Sheng's daily dining has become a big problem. It's not that there are no cooks in the mansion, but it's not to Chen Sheng's taste. In the entire Dongye City, there is only one wine shop in the east of the city, which is slightly in line with Chen Sheng's taste. So when Chen Sheng was free, he went there to find something to eat, and by the way, he observed the people's feelings.

Except for Fan Zhi and Ling Zhu'er, Chen Sheng did not bring other guards and servants. The light car Jian Cong, and Li Zuoche drove side by side, and hurried to the east of the city. Since the Yue people received the support of the Qin army, no one dared to provoke the Yue people in the local area. Later, Chen Sheng promoted the merger of the township, and the Yue people also set an example and expressed their willingness to merge with other villages. This move was vigorously commended by the government and received a lot of rewards. After learning that Chen Sheng had become the county guard of Minzhong County, the shrewd old patriarch sent his granddaughter to the county guard mansion and let Lingzhuer be Chen Sheng's personal maid. He also selected the dragon and dozens of warriors in the village and gave them to Chen Sheng as guards.

In the face of the enthusiasm of the old patriarch, Chen Sheng was also disrespectful. He was weak in Fujian, and he was in urgent need of the support of the force, and the old patriarch's behavior was like a charcoal in the snow. Chen Sheng arranged a position of commander for Qian Long, and asked him to lead an elite team selected by Chen Sheng from the defeated army of Ouyue. Although these soldiers were defeated soldiers, they were still barbaric and difficult to tame, but Qian Long was also a local Yue tribe, and it was relatively easy for him to command the rest of the people arranged by Chen Sheng. As for Ling Zhu'er, Chen Sheng also admired her terrifying combat power. However, staying by his side was mainly to appease the old patriarch, so he left Lingzhu'er behind. After all, Chen Sheng's own combat effectiveness is not weak, and those who want to fight his ideas will not have too much chance of success.
