Qingji is a person who can enjoy, so he specially built a palace room dedicated to sauna in Jinling Palace.

At first, Qingji didn't know the principle, so he asked thousands of pieces of red-hot iron to be thrown into the water to produce a large amount of steam, and he led the concubines to jump into the steam pool to play.

Later, the method of sauna bathing was gradually improved.

In a special wooden house, the unique rocks are grilled on a hot stove to a temperature of 70C or higher, and then a small amount of water is poured on the rocks to create an impactful steam......

The specific cooling or heating is manually operated.

At this time, Qingji dragged off his clothes with Fan Li, and entered the steam-filled palace room with only a plain white towel.

came to serve, and there was also a group of warblers and swallows.

White, yellow, black, brown, and all kinds of skin tones are available, and they have undergone professional training, and they are very cool to wear.

Don't look at indecency, don't look at indecency.

Fan Li hurriedly lowered his head.

"Your Majesty, how come this even has a dark-skinned woman? Your Majesty, your taste is really not ordinary peculiar. ”

Qingji smiled slightly: "It's the same when you turn off the lights." ”

"Your Majesty, you shouldn't have an affair with a black woman, right?"

"Questions?"

"This ......"

Fan Li couldn't help frowning and said, "Your Majesty, there is indeed something wrong. With all due respect, how can my prince of Dawu have dark skin? ”

"It's not like words. The minister heard that anyone who has an affair with a dark-skinned barbarian will give birth to children of the same skin color, which is difficult to change. ”

"Your Majesty, please be cautious."

Qingji smiled and said, "Young uncle, I know, so I will never leave Long Zhong behind the black girl." ”

"That's good."

Fan Li was relieved at this time.

Immediately, Qingji and Fan Li entered the bath.

Qingji enjoyed lying on the thighs of a white-skinned beauty, and asked another fair-skinned and beautiful girl to massage and push oil......

Fan Li didn't dare to do this, even if it was Qingji's instructions, he didn't dare to be presumptuous.

Being able to take a bath with Qingji is already a great honor for Fan Li, how dare he be so "presumptuous" in front of Qingji?

"Comfortable."

Fan Li couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, enjoying it very much.

Qingji waved his hand and asked the palace ladies who were serving him to retreat, then he glanced at Fan Li and asked, "Young uncle, I plan to set up twenty vassal kingdoms on the territory of the original Achaemenid Dynasty. ”

"Of course, there is still one thing to decide, and I would like to hear your opinion."

"There is a minister's suggestion that I should move to the empire's native Li Shu and settle down in the West, I don't know if you think it is feasible?"

Fan Li's eyes rolled for a moment, and then asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to hear the truth or listen to the lie?" ”

"Nature is the truth."

"If you let the minister tell the truth. The minister thinks that it is inappropriate. ”

"Why?"

"Now there are more than 40 million Li Shu in the empire itself, and there are not a few foreign clans in the overseas and extraterritorial places of the empire. Your Majesty, how many people do you want to migrate? ”

Fan Li sighed and said: "Different skin colors, different cultures, different beliefs, different living habits, the Wu people and the rest of the Fanbang foreign races, after all, are too different, and it is absolutely impossible for Your Majesty to assimilate them in a short period of time." ”

"If you move millions of Li Shu out, I'm afraid it will be a drop in the bucket and it won't help, and there may be a considerable number of these millions of Li Shu who have been assimilated by those foreign tribes in Fanbang, isn't this counterproductive?"

"If Your Majesty moves one-third, or even one-half, of Li Shu out, the territory will be empty and become a truly sparsely populated place, and the empire will immediately be greatly damaged and taken advantage of by foreign races."

"This is the way to perdition, and it is even more undesirable."

Hearing this, Qingji sighed and said, "Yes." That's what I'm most worried about. ”

"If the Wu people live together with the foreign tribes of Fanbang, the consequences may be unimaginable."

"It's just that if I don't do this, and strive to assimilate those people from other tribes in Fanbang, after my death, I am afraid that the huge empire will immediately fall apart, and the achievements I have created may also disappear and become a ......cloud of the past."

Qingji can be described as "sober in the world" in this matter.

As early as the beginning of the establishment of the princes, Qingji encouraged some scholars in the country to serve as ministers in various feudal kingdoms as much as possible, and it was the kind of relocation of the family.

Although he is far away from his homeland, he can find a half-official position, and maybe he can become a minister of state, and this temptation is not ordinary.

At the same time, in order to avoid the rebellion of the nobles in the feudal kingdom, Qingji still taught the princes who were about to establish a feudal state as much as possible to understand the policy of tenderness, win over the nobles from all over the country, and take it for their own use.

Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren.

Qingji is so painstaking and lonely, for the princes, it is already benevolent and righteous.

If there is still a rebellion in the feudal kingdom where they are located, they can't suppress it, so they can only count on the nearby feudal kingdoms to help each other, and Wu Zhang and Wu Fan, who are stationed in the west, send troops to rescue them.

At this time, after knowing Qingji's thoughts, Fan Li thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, in fact, sometimes a soft knife is better than a hard knife. ”

"Your Majesty should know that an empire established by conquest by force alone will be difficult to sustain without strong rule and measures."

"Not only are the conquered foreign tribes often trying to restore their independence, but even the vassal kings who have been divided by His Majesty will often look for opportunities to seek independence."

"Your Majesty, you are wise and martial, after unifying the world, you still have the same text, the same track, unified currency, weights and measures, this is the most effective weapon."

"This is a soft knife that kills without seeing blood."

"If the language, writing, currency, weights and measures, and even cultural customs of the people of the world are the same, the roads are similar, and the culture is similar, even if Your Majesty changes after 10,000 years, it will surely be able to lay a good foundation for the successor king."

Fan Li said it was easy, but even he hadn't figured out how to operate it.

Chicken feathers!

Qingji also knew that such a soft knife did have an effect.

But where do you start?

It's hard to get started.

In the past, the state of Wu swept away the Qin, Qi, Song, Yan and other states, and it was not difficult to manage, because everyone recognized themselves as a part of China, with similar cultures and roughly the same language.

It's not the same with those Fanbang foreigners.

Fan Li also knew that this matter was too difficult, so he once again said to Qingji: "Your Majesty, in ancient times, there were three major tribal alliances of the Yellow Emperor, the Yan Emperor, and Chiyou, and now they are all one. ”

"The battle for the deer has been going on for more than 2,000 years now, and Your Majesty can't afford to wait, but Your Majesty should look to the future generations."

"The minister believes that the children and grandchildren of my great Wu descendants and the descendants of the Wu clan will definitely fight for strength and fulfill the unfulfilled long-cherished wish of His Majesty and the ministers."

Hearing this, Qingji smiled and said, "Young uncle, it has to be you." ”

"Your words have reached the heart of my heart."
