Chapter 286: The First Emperor of the Ages

Qin Shi Huang..."

Listening to a group of foreign friends seriously discussing the merits and demerits of Qin Shi Huang, Su Mu suddenly had a funny feeling, this emperor in history seems to have been not very good in the mainstream of history.

"I think if he is a tyrant, it's a bit too much, compared to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, some policies after the unification of Qin have been great progress."

Su Mu thought for a moment and said seriously.

"History is written by the victors, and what your tour guide just now talked about is something from a history book, and if I remember correctly, many things have already been debunked by scholars."

"Refute rumors?" Eve glanced at Su Mu a little strangely, a little curious: "rumour? ”

Su Mu's words were a bit complicated, and Eve didn't fully understand the meaning at once.

Her boyfriend is even more needless to say, in the case of not knowing Chinese at all, he doesn't know what Su Mu just said.

"Hmm." Su Mu nodded, switched his language to English, and continued to explain:

"Many of the things he just said are incorrect, although some of Qin Shi Huang's practices will seem a little cruel to us now, but as far as I am concerned, he should be able to be the word emperor of the ages."

Su Mu is very fluent in English, and at his current level, as long as it does not involve particularly professional vocabulary, he can generally communicate on a daily basis.

Yan Xiaoke's eyes widened slightly, and Su Mu was a little surprised to turn on the English mode directly.

Could it be that he still wants to talk in English the whole time?

It's a bit too difficult, isn't it???

Hearing fluent English, Eve's face also showed a surprised look, and she responded in English with a smile: "I knew that your English was so good, so I didn't need to speak Chinese." ”

Eve's boyfriend Mai Xiuwen also focused his attention at this time, he was also thinking about why those who advocated the construction of the Great Wall were evaluated as tyrants in history, and now when he heard Su Mu mention the word rumors, he couldn't help but be very interested.

looked at the three people stunned and looked at themselves and waited for the next step.

Su Mu couldn't laugh or cry a little.

"Your tour guide made a lot of mistakes."

"As an emperor, Qin Shi Huang has the highest power, and he will definitely do something that matches the power. But on the whole, his merits are far greater than his faults for the entire Chinese civilization. ”

"The Great Wall was built in the north to resist the Xiongnu, and the south was built to improve transportation and strengthen control over the Pearl River Basin, and he did let many, many workers work day and night, but in fact, most of those people were prisoners and displaced people from the remaining six countries, in the legal sense of the Qin Dynasty at that time, many of them had the meaning of slaves, and the use of these slaves seemed brutal now, but thousands of years ago, it was a matter of course."

Su Mu paused.

"The Great Wall was not built only by the Qin Dynasty, but from the Qin Dynasty, and then gradually improved with each dynasty, and the Afang Palace he just said, if I remember correctly, seems to have just built a foundation, and then the first emperor died. If the first emperor is called oppressing the people because of this, then every dynasty in history is no better. ”

Since Su Mu began to speak in English, in addition to Eve and Mai Xiuwen, the other two girls in the tour group were also attracted to it.

The tour guide Zhang Jiannan originally wanted to take this opportunity to show his knowledge in front of a few girls.

Suddenly, he found that three of the four girls had come to Su Mu's side.

That boy also seems to be talking about the Great Wall and Qin Shi Huang?

Zhang Jiannan froze.

No dissatisfaction was shown.

Instead, he smiled and said to his friends, come over together and listen to what Su Mu can say.

They were all foreigners, and they were still very interested in what their locals thought of Qin Shi Huang.

There are more and more people around.

Su Mu didn't have any pressure, and continued to speak:

"There is a saying that many of the people who burned books and killed people at that time were monks who used immortality to deceive people, and I don't know the specific actual situation, but I still believe in this statement."

"If Ying Zheng really wants to burn books and pit Confucianism, these four books and five classics will not be handed down now. Of course, the Four Books and Five Classics were only named in the Song Dynasty, but that's probably what it means. ”

At that time, many ordinary people were illiterate, and they couldn't understand the legal provisions of the Qin law, if I remember correctly, the original of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising was "it will rain heavily, the road will not work, and the time will be lost, and the law will be cut off." But there is a clear record in the Qin law that if the delay is caused by rainfall, it can be exempted from levy."

Su Mu's words were very clear, and he spoke very slowly, and he would deliberately stop and explain in some key places.

Several people in the tour group were a little surprised on their faces, they had never heard of these things Su Mu talked about!!

Moreover, these things are obviously much more interesting than that kind of rigid information!!

Most people have a doubt in their hearts, could it be that the boy Eve met on the way is also a tour guide???

These foreign girls, while listening to Su Mu's explanation, also looked at him.

The boy who got serious was already very handsome, and Su Mu's appearance was superior in the aesthetics of any country, and one of the tall girls with a hot body among the foreign girls even licked her lips, as if she was thinking about things, should she wait for more contact with Su Mu.

Su Mu gave a few more examples, but he didn't say anything.

It just shows that from the overall situation, he admires Qin Shi Huang more.

After all, Ying Zheng dared to say that his exploits had surpassed the three emperors and five emperors, and he was the first monarch to claim to be the emperor.

When Yan Xiaoke looked at Su Mu, there was a little star in his eyes again, and he was suddenly stunned again, and hurriedly took out his mobile phone.

She listened to it so much that she forgot to record her vlog material.

However, when she looked around, her face suddenly became a little strange.

Because in addition to Eve's tour group, there were two other foreigners who didn't know each other who also stopped!!

It seems that Su Mu is regarded as a tour guide and listens carefully.

The crowd suddenly gathered more and more, which was quite eye-catching.

In just five or six minutes, more than 20 people were inexplicably made up!

More people in the back also came up because of their curiosity, and even if they couldn't understand English, they were here to watch curiously!!

Yan Xiaoke was a little confused.

She didn't pay attention for a while, how did it become Su Mu's lecture??
