Chapter 1: The First Emperor of the Ages, the First Emperor of Qin (1)

The spring of the forty-sixth year of King Qin Jimin.

Since the destruction of the Six Kingdoms, there have always been unwilling people in the Six Kingdoms, who will jump out from time to time and play the banner of reviving the Six Kingdoms, and the King of Qin Jimin sent people to defeat them and subdue them.

Finally, the Six Kingdoms completely belonged to the Qin State, and since then they have been truly unified.

King Jimin of Qin won the six kingdoms, and thought that the seven kingdoms were all called kings, and his name was not respected. It is not enough to deter the remnants of the six nations. In the past, the Qin State and the Qi State were called the East and West Discussions, which were also not enough to be passed on to future generations, and they were powerful.

Yes, the use of the ancient monarch name, to the three yellow and five emperors as the respect, merit above the king, but Qin De and the three emperors, the five emperors, choose the word "emperor", called Qin Shi Huang.

Posthumously crowned the Qin King Zhaoshi, who died at an early age, as the emperor.

He also said: "I am the first emperor, and there will be countless of them in later generations." First, second, third, and even millions of generations, it has been passed down endlessly. After that, the Son of Heaven called himself 'I', and his subordinates called Qin Shi 'Your Majesty'. ”

The original piece of the wall that humiliated the Qin State was engraved as the seal of the Qin State, and its text said: "Ordered by the sky, it is subject to Yongchang." "He also pushed the transmission of the five virtues, thinking that Zhou had fire virtue, but water could extinguish fire, and Qin should be the luck of water virtue. The clothes and flags are still black.

This point coincides with the intentions of the Qin kings of the past dynasties.

Because the number of water is six, the size of the utensils is six.

The habits of the Seven Kingdoms are different, so the month of New Year's pilgrimage is also different, and the first month of October is the first month, and the pilgrimage is the same month.

As well as the original mention of the son not discussing the father, a new article was added, the minister did not discuss the king, because he considered it to be an indecent act. Abolish the law completely. He also implemented the changes implemented in Qin when King Zhaoshi of Qin was alive, and the good policy of Legalism for governing the country proposed by Lu Qingchen was always implemented.

At the same time, Qin Shi Huang thought that the Six Kingdoms had always been endless, but because the children of the clan left behind were stirring up in the rear, so he began to promote the children who had been promoted by military merit.

In this way, the power of the old era was weakened and the rights and interests of Qin Shi Huang were strengthened.

The land rights and interests of the Great Qin Empire have also changed.

The land rights and interests inherited from the Western Zhou Dynasty have now been replaced.

After Qin Jimin was called the first emperor, five years have passed.

It was the autumn of the fifth year of Qin Shi Huangdi, and it was really an eventful autumn.

Qin Shi Huang ordered the people in all places to report all the acres of their fields so that the Qin court could collect taxes. At the same time, a document was issued, even if it was a common man, he could exchange his military merits for land and titles.

When Lu Qingchen first changed the law, there was a law to grant the people land, and at that time, the people's fields still belonged to the Qin State, but they were just private farming, but Qin Shi Huang's move taught the people to also have the fields that originally belonged to the kingdom.

Even in the near future, the common people and those in positions of office will be free to buy and sell their land with others.

Qin Shi Huang thought that the Zhou State was divided into various countries at the beginning, and later the countries rose up and encroached on it, and later the Seven Kingdoms were divided into the world, and no longer divided the princes. Rather, it is the system of counties and bureaucrats with Xianyang as the center.

The Qin State and the old land of the Six Kingdoms were 36 counties at the beginning, and later with the continuous expansion and growth of the Qin State, 10 counties were added, and then 46 counties, and Xianyang was designated as the capital of the Qin State.

The system of counties and counties will break the original bloodline inheritance system one by one.

After the reunification of the six countries, new problems arose.

There were disputes between the people from time to time, and the root cause of this was similar to the incessant and never-ending invasion between the Seven Kingdoms at the beginning.

The six countries have different language barriers, different living habits, and very different customs, so how can they get along with others in peace?

Qin Shi Huang thought that others did not dare to think, said that others did not dare to speak, and was able to use others, and tried his best to eliminate public opinion, and changed the barter knife coins of the six countries, changed their regulations, and unified weights and measures in the four seas.

Even the languages and documents of the seven kingdoms are unified.

After receiving reports from the borders of various places, the barbarians sometimes attacked, occasionally fierce armies, and the Qin State also had those who were difficult to resist, and ordered all parts of the country to start building the Great Wall, galloping roads and straight roads to resist foreign enemies.

Emperor Qin Shi Huang migrated the wealthy people from all over the Six Kingdoms, as well as the common people of Pingtou, and was worried that the children of the clan of the Six Kingdoms would be revived again, so he also moved them to Xianyang to take care of the imperial tomb.

Or they moved to some remote places, and the people of Pingtou also migrated, which is known as 'migration'. ’

These ordinary people did hard labor for the Great Qin Empire, such as opening mines and salt wells.

The construction of the Great Wall was carried out by the prisoners, and Meng Tian supervised its completion.

The following year was the spring of the sixth year of Qin Shi Huangdi.

Qin Shi Huang also ordered Meng Tian to attack Jiuyuan City, this place was originally a barbarian land, and then captured by Zhao State, set up as the Zhao State Plain City, now by Qin State to seize again, set up Jiuyuan County in this place, of which the county has a total of 34 cities,

The changes in the Qin State undoubtedly attracted everyone's attention, when Lu Qingchen entered the Qin State, he hit it off with Qin Zhaoshi, and the two became close friends.

There is a beautiful talk to talk about when you have enough to sleep.

At that time, the changes in the Qin State were opposed by old scholars and students everywhere, and even later, in the Battle of Changping, Qin was called tyranny, and there were those who feared Qin and those who disdained it.

At this time, seeing that the Qin court had changed greatly and was thriving, those people changed their previous faces and came to Qin one after another to serve the Qin court.

Because of Qin Zhaoshi and Qin Jimin, they all like to do things.

There were many superstitious people in the Qin court, and there were Huang Lao Taoism, Yin and Yang Buddhism, as well as Confucianism, Dharma and Taoism, and other hundred schools of thought, and later generations were also influenced a lot.

Outsiders somehow Qin Jimin is particularly obsessed with the theory of immortals, and even has the intention of looking for it in person.

However, how can the king of a country leave easily, under the persuasion of several confidants, he gave up his original insistence, but did not give up the dream of seeking immortals.

One force presided, and the country sent people to find the medicine of the immortals, which can help them become immortals.

has already prevented Qin Shi Huang from going out to find immortals in person, if he stops the idea of sending people to find it, none of the ministers will have the courage to go forward and speak again.

Today's Qin Shi Huang has no parents, and there are only two brothers who obey his words, as for his sister Qin Xuanshui, the world has not seen it for many years, and I don't know where Qin Xuanshui went.

Seeing that the Qin court was like an army, the order was carried out immediately.

Therefore, the matter of arranging the inspection of immortals and immortal medicines soon had candidates and their routes, although there were people who were worried about the king of Qi and indulged in cultivating immortals until they finally died in the country.

However, they also understand that Qin Shi Huang and Qi Wangping are not the same kind of people, just because they and Qin Shi Huang have not abandoned any government affairs on weekdays, this move of cultivating immortals is just a move to prolong life.

The ministers did not take it to heart, and performed their duties every day.
