Chapter 176
was obviously talking about good wishes, but Yin Ji's mood was very low.
Seeing this, Yin Changying instructed Zheng Gao: "Bring the folds on Ding Geng's bookcase." ”
Zheng Gao immediately brought dozens of bamboo slips over, and asked the two temple people to carry an Ji in and put it in front of Yin Changying.
Yin Changying knew that Yin Cheng would never take the initiative to touch the folds, so he motioned for Yin Cheng to open it and take a look.
Yin Ji hesitated for a moment, but still took a volume, slowly spread it out, quickly scanned it, didn't say anything, took another volume, and browsed it at the same speed.
After reading the five volumes, she found that Zheng Gao had moved a lot more, and she hurriedly said, "Lord Zheng, stop." ”
Then he asked Yin Changying: "Are all excerpts similar to each other?" ”
"Not bad."
"That's nothing to look at." Yin Ji sealed the bamboo slips and put them back in place.
Yin Changying glanced at Zheng Gao, Zheng Gao led people to take down the bamboo slips, and saw Yin Cheng holding the spoon, stirring listlessly, but he didn't eat a bite of sweet soup, so he asked: "Auntie doesn't like these eulogies?" ”
Yin Ji put down the spoon and said calmly: "I don't believe it, they didn't see it." ”
The content of those recitals is the same, which is nothing more than praising Yin Changying's wisdom and generosity, and actually distributing food to the people of Wei Guo and Liang State.
This is an unprecedented move, and naturally there are many people singing praises of virtue, and similar recitals are piled up on Yin Changying's desk, and even have to be stored in a separate bookcase.
But as Yin said, distributing food is only the first step.
Of course, it is impossible for Zhaoguo to let the people eat and drink in vain without farming, and there is no such cheap thing in the world.
Since the grain is distributed according to the population of the people, it is natural that land should be allocated to them according to the population for cultivation.
When planting land, it is natural to consider how to divide it, and it is also the proper meaning to redefine the acres of land.
Each of the seven kingdoms of the world has different characters, languages, weights and measures, coins, etc.
Like Zhaoguo, due to the implementation of the title system of military merit in the field house, the acres of land are counted in small acres.
But Zhu Guo, Chen Guo, Wei Guo, etc., the land is in the hands of the family, so it is naturally calculated according to the large mu.
Between small acres and large acres, the area is likely to be more than double or even triple.
Yin Cheng's idea was to take the distribution of grain as an opportunity to win the hearts of some people, and step by step, began to transform weights and measures.
"Look at what these people have written! The world is in the heart. Yin Ji smiled bitterly, "What's the heart, it's already good if you don't be poked in the back and scolded to death." ”
She understands better than anyone else that the distribution of food is a matter of virtue and politics, and the people of Wei Guo and Liang State will indeed be grateful to Zhaoguo.
But once the other party is forced to learn the language and script of Zhaoguo, they will change their living customs......
For the people, they may not mind who the ruler above is, as long as it can make their lives better, it doesn't matter if your king's surname is Yin or Xun.
But to move on to all aspects of life, that's sorry.
It's like in later generations, when men and women were equal for many years, and people's bodies could be changed at will, but many people still insisted on having boys.
You ask them why they have children, and now it's the same for both men and women, not to mention gender, race is not a big problem.
The other party told you that our family is going to have a boy.
Why?
Because our family is what we want!
I can't talk about this anymore.
"The words 'it has always been like this' are the most terrible spells in the world." Yin Ji sighed lightly, "If you have a small favor and a small favor, you can make the people return to their hearts, and there will not be so many troubles in the world." ”
Yin Changying saw her worried, and couldn't help but feel that she was too gentle.
For so many years, Zhaoguo has laid countless lands, and has never given food or grace.
What should the people do if they are not satisfied? Then kill.
If it is useless to kill one, kill ten; It's not enough to kill ten, just kill a hundred.
It's really not possible, kill or exile the local people, kill half of them, and serve the rest, why are there so many worries?
Therefore, he said calmly: "The book is the same text, the car is the same track, the currency is limited, the acres of land are determined, and the weights and measures are all the same plans." ”
In Yin Changying's view, this is a more important thing than defeating the Six Kingdoms.
If a country does not have a unified currency, language, and weights and measures, how can the people be united and have a sufficient sense of identity?
Of course, Yin Ji also knew this, so she didn't object, she just hoped to solve the problem in a relatively gentle way.
It's just that......
No matter how gentle it is, it is also forced, and the people will definitely resist, and Zhaoguo will definitely send troops to suppress it.
Yin Cheng didn't want to think about these questions.
Because when she thinks of this, she will be disgusted with herself, standing in the position of the ruler, but doing the things of the invaders, destroying people's homes, and convincing herself that she has "saved" the other party.
That's right, the productivity of Zhao has indeed risen a lot now, and once it spreads to the six countries, the local people will no longer need to be slaves and maids, and they will be able to support their children.
But are people willing?
If it were herself, one day, her homeland would be destroyed by the enemy.
The enemy told her that under their rule, her life would be a thousand times better than it is now.
As a price, she must learn the enemy's language, use the enemy's script, and live according to the enemy's habits, and she will not be willing!
But this is a "must do" thing.
If the people are not allowed to have the consciousness that "we are a complete country and must be unified", this land will still be as divided as it was in the previous millennium, with constant wars, and more people will die.
It is true that Emperor Zhao is a tyrant, but it is precisely because he has completed this great cause that the dynasties of later generations have held high the idea of "great unification" from generation to generation, and no one will approve of splitting the territory and dividing and conquering it.
Everyone believes that the world should be unified, not a corner of the country and set itself up as a king.
For the sake of the merits of thousands of generations, let the people of this generation sacrifice and pay.
Is it worth it?
Yin Ji didn't know.
"If only I were the one who was sacrificed." Her voice was soft, almost like a dream, "Sacrifice others, but you don't have to pay, this kind of thing is ......"
The smile that originally lingered on the corners of Yin Changying's eyes and eyebrows disappeared in an instant, and the atmosphere around him was a little stagnant.
This supreme king, as if he was careless, asked casually: "Auntie also wants to learn from Xun Shen and sacrifice herself for the sake of her homeland?" ”
Yin Cheng realized that this problem was very dangerous.
Not for her, but for Xun Shen.
There is no doubt that as long as she answers "yes", in the next second, Yin Changying will give Xun Shen to death, and it is useless for anyone to intercede.
The reason is very simple - to set a bad example and bring bad to Auntie.
This is Yin Changying's logic.
Auntie will never be wrong, if she does something wrong and has some dangerous thoughts, she must be led to be ruined. As long as the root cause of the problem is removed, things can get back on track.
This kind of unprincipled favoritism puts a lot of pressure on Yin Hui.
You can't be deceived by cheating, but you can't really continue to talk about this topic, it's too dangerous, and it's easy to trap others if you're not careful.
Therefore, Yin Cheng pondered for a moment before picking a statement that is not so easy to step on thunder: "Naturally, it is necessary to divide the situation, if it is really necessary for me, I ...... Willing. ”
