Chapter 16: Breaking the Bamboo (16) [4k, ask for subscription]
Speaking of this, Ying Zheng's voice gradually fell silent, and after a while, he seemed to sigh and said: "Actually, I don't know the problems that the empire will face after the women of their family become queens. ”
"But I don't have any other choice."
"Fusu is not me, he must grasp some aristocratic forces in Great Qin, so that he can smoothly carry out some reforms."
He looked at Chen Ke: "I know that you still have thousands of ideas in your heart that you want to realize, but you have not been able to implement them. ”
"Maybe when Fusu ascends the throne, you will continue to make drastic changes."
Chen Ke shook his head slightly, and he looked at the First Emperor.
In fact, he knew that the First Emperor had always been very curious, and he had never believed that all the things he had seen were from "books".
It's just that the First Emperor couldn't tell where his things came from.
Maybe Yingzheng has already regarded him as an immortal.
This is both a good thing and a bad thing for Chen Ke.
He just smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are too worried, in fact, the minister is not such a smart and great person. ”
"All I can do is pass on some of the wisdom I stole from me, put the seeds of civilization and flame into Daqin, and then watch the seeds rise little by little and turn into raging flames."
"The flame will eventually become a new great day, shining on Daqin."
"Therefore, the minister has actually done everything he can do."
"There's not much left."
Chen Ke's voice was very serious, and at the same time very serious.
And what he said was true.
Chen Ke didn't feel how smart and powerful he was, he was able to complete some of the current changes, as well as new things, all by relying on the miscellaneous books he read in his previous life and the gradually clear memories after coming to this life.
He didn't intend to be like the characters in the script, and bring everything to Daqin on his own.
Steam engines, internal combustion engines, generators, airplanes, artillery, aircraft carriers, spaceships.
New political systems, new national concepts, new economic systems, new technologies, new medical knowledge, robotic arms, and so on.
Everyone feels that the more advanced science and technology are, the more they can bring surging vitality to backward people, but Chen Ke does not feel so.
This is like a person who is usually very weak, and you directly pour a large tonic, maybe when you just pour it, the patient will suddenly become very vigorous, and can even punch ten.
But what about a year on?
What about two years later?
The patient may become sick and weak again, or even more sick and weak than before.
Why?
Because "void is not replenished".
Today's Great Qin, or China, is also like this, instilling a large number of advanced things in a backward political system, backward productive forces, backward culture and society, and backward environment.
Daqin will not be able to digest it.
What's more-
If Chen Ke was allowed to create all the advanced culture by himself, what would he become? What will Great Qin become?
Perhaps, Daqin will directly become the most advanced country in the world, and even the most powerful after thousands of years, but after Chen Ke left, will Daqin have the ability to innovate?
Can you keep going?
It will also become a rotten giant baby waiting to be fed.
Chen Ke didn't want such a Great Qin, and the First Emperor didn't want such a Great Qin.
Therefore, Chen Ke's initial plan was to start with culture, system, and concepts, change the culture of this era, and take out some of the most basic things and concepts in advance; Changing the system of this era and allowing some advanced systems to emerge can supplement the change of leftist culture and concepts; Change the concept of this era, so that this ancient nation no longer feels that "technology" is a non-mainstream thing.
When there is an endless desire for knowledge, when technology, craftsmen, etc. are no longer perceived as third-rate things.
Daqin will become a never-stopping, eternally innovative machine, he will constantly produce new things, and then become more rapid.
The development of civilization is exactly like this.
Just as a train needs power, the development of the times needs such a "core".
After doing this, Chen Ke didn't plan to do anything else.
Ying Zheng may have felt the meaning of Chen Ke's words, but he just smiled vigorously: "No matter how much, it will be a matter of Fusu in the future." ”
"What I can do now is to pacify the world and take down the Xiongnu, the Western Regions, and Baiyue."
"After the world is settled, maybe I should really retreat into the background."
This is the first time Yingzheng has said his intentions.
The emperor who swallowed the anger back then has now become calm, and perhaps all the turmoil will eventually return to the ordinary.
Chen Ke said with a smile: "I don't know if I will have the honor to retire with His Majesty at that time?" ”
Ying Zheng sneered when he heard this: "You kid want to be lazy? ”
"I don't agree."
He said softly: "Chen Ke, just for the sake of my face, let's serve Daqin for a while." ”
"At least wait until Fusu is firmly in that position and matures before leaving."
Chen Ke closed his eyes, and said softly and in a serious tone: "Your Majesty, don't worry, how can I leave Daqin?" ”
He turned his head and looked at the ups and downs outside the main hall that had begun at some point: "I will watch His Highness Fusu look forward to the world." ”
"This is where I live, after all."
Having said that, there is really nothing more to say.
Ying Zheng stood up and asked with a smile: "But speaking of which, Fusu is already going to have a wife now, aren't you going to add a few people to your side?" ”
He looked at Chen Ke and was quite concerned: "Boy, it's going to be winter again, and you're about to be twenty-eight." ”
"In the near future, the sons of the people next to me are already running all over the streets, and some of them are even about to become grandfathers."
"There's no one around you yet."
"How do you reassure me?"
At this time, Yingzheng was no longer an emperor, but an elder of Chen Ke, just telling his inner worries.
Chen Ke's expression was still calm, he just said: "Your Majesty, there is no so-called love in my heart, if I forcibly find a woman to marry him, it will only hurt the heart of another person." ”
"Why bother with another sad person?"
"What's more, with His Majesty here, those slaves and maids in the palace, the life of the ministers and whatever, it's all very good, and there is no need for another person."
Ying Zheng couldn't hold back, and said again: "What about your descendants?" ”
"Are you going to cut off the incense? So that you will never have a legacy in future generations? ”
Chen Ke just stood there, silently putting his hand in his sleeve: "Why do you have any so-called inheritance, why do you have any so-called incense?" ”
"It's good that the minister is just one person."
"The students of the minister are the inheritance of the minister, and the disciples of the minister are the incense of the minister."
"The world is so big, where can't I live?"
Ying Zheng shook his head and didn't say anything anymore, in the final analysis, he couldn't and wouldn't force Chen Ke to marry a wife, this was Chen Ke's own business after all.
It's just that as an elder, I can't help but say a few words.
He waved his hand: "Okay, I can't talk about you, you just feel happy." ”
"Just remember, don't lose the person in front of you."
Saying that, Ying Zheng walked outside, Chen Ke followed his steps, and slowly walked towards the hall outside, the surrounding environment seemed very ordinary, Ying Zheng was not a person who liked luxury.
In the original trajectory, he also built Afang Palace, but in today's historical trajectory, Yingzheng has not even built Afang Palace.
..............
The land of a hundred Yue, the East Yue
The two armies led by Zhang Han and Zhao Tuo had penetrated deep into the hinterland, and their marching speed was not fast, because there were many weapons.
A lot of Dongyue soldiers had been killed on the road before, and the ground was full of corpses, and the blood had dyed almost the entire jungle red.
Whenever a campaign ended, they would burn the corpses in a fire, according to the orders of the imperial physician who followed the army, in order to prevent a great plague, according to the imperial physician's order.
"Gollum—"
The sound of chariots echoed through the silent jungle as the army headed for the territory of East Vietnam.
The deeper you go into the forest, the more silent it becomes.
I don't know how long the army has been walking, but suddenly their eyes widened.
Although Dongyue lives in the jungle, in fact, the place where they live is not a jungle, after all, they are not primitive people.
The East Vietnamese army was already waiting for them here.
In fact, they are not barbarians, after all, Dongyue is actually part of the territory of the former Yue Kingdom, and the current king of Dongyue was also a descendant of the surname Ji back then, and he was the descendant of Goujian.
In the past, when Zheng Taidong was preparing to rebel and occupy Huiji County, he had made a plan to cooperate with the king of Dongyue to completely occupy this place, and then restore the former Yue Kingdom.
It's just that Zheng Taidong's plan is to do this after completing the occupation of "Huiji County", so he has not contacted the king of Dongyue, and the king of Dongyue does not know about it.
I don't know how long it took, many Qin soldiers suddenly noticed that their eyes lit up, and they walked out of the vast jungle.
The soldiers gathered, and Zhang Han looked at the wide flat land in front of him, with a little seriousness in his expression.
He felt that the place was so flat, and with the endless plains, it didn't look like an ambush, but it was just right for a charge.
If there is an army here waiting for the rabbit to work at ease, they will have a big problem.
But then again, Zhang Han is not afraid of such a thing happening.
Because—
There's really nothing to be afraid of.
Their soldiers will get tired, but the cannons behind them will not get tired.
Therefore, he ordered the whole army to stand in place and rest, and after resting for an hour, he continued to advance.
They want to kill the Dongyue King City within two months, before the arrival of winter!
Before winter comes, they will win the battle of Dongyue for His Majesty the First Emperor of Great Qin!
Before winter, they want to let the leaders and people of Huiji County get enough firewood and enjoy enough peaceful life.
There is an enemy ahead, and they cannot rest.
.........
Huiji County
Yang Tianyi counted the time in his hand, and his heart was thinking about the war and this winter.
As a disciple of Chen Ke, of course, he knew that at some point in the future, things like firewood might gradually withdraw from the sight of the upper nobles, and be replaced by something called "coal".
This kind of thing can also burn and heat, and it can also make people feel warm, which is easier and more convenient than firewood.
However, it is impossible for that kind of thing to be supplied to everyone in a large area in a short period of time, and it is extremely difficult for ordinary Qiantou to use coal except for the nobles.
But—
No matter how difficult it is, within five or six years, most people will be able to afford coal.
So he had to plan properly for the cutting of wood and coal.
Strive to make the people, the chiefs, and the nobles able to smoothly transition.
Thinking like this, Yang Tianyi sighed slightly, then looked at the person next to him and said, "What news is coming from ahead?" ”
This is the front line of the war with East Vietnam.
The person next to him shook his head slightly, with a cautious look on his face: "Qiyu County Guard, there has been no news." ”
Yang Tianyi frowned slightly, because logically speaking, there should already be news at this time.
What's going on?
He was a little dazed, but he still stabilized his mind and said, "Go to the county and say that I have something important." ”
The scribe nodded immediately and walked outside.
Huiji County is also a typical example of learning from Xianyang and Penglaizhou, because the territory of Huiji is very vast, so they have already directly built an "administrative district" and set up a "county yamen" separately.
The county guard, the county guard, and the county guard yamen clerks all worked here.
Next to each other are new institutions such as the newly established Municipal Property Administration, the Manufacturing Agency, and so on, as well as the places reserved for institutions that may arise in the future.
Since this is not the most central place in the city, there is no need to worry about setting it up.
.........
Xianyang University
According to the requirements of the imperial court, the revision of the book began in Xianyang University.
It was not only people from Xianyang University who came, but also doctors from Penglai University and Zhongzhou University.
Since the announcement of the reform of Baijiagong some time ago and the split into four parts, three universities and three research institutes have begun to frantically recruit sages.
The name of Hamyang University and Hamyang Research Institute is "Kyoto is located, the center of the world"; The names of Zhongzhou University and Zhongzhou Research Institute are "the hometown of the prime minister", "the source of culture" and "the heart of civilization"; The name of Penglai University and Penglai Research Institute is "coastal shore" and "emerging land".
In addition to some PhDs who were transferred from Xianyang University, Zhongzhou University and Penglai University also recruited some sages.
Because these people all feel that Xianyang City may not still have their place.
But there must be new universities.
Among them, there are some talents who have not been recruited in the past and have not gone out of the mountain.
At this time, in Xianyang University, the person who argued with Yan Kun, or did not call it an argument, but unilaterally exploded, was the representative of this new talent.
His seniority is too high, and no one present dares to argue with this except Li Si.
Sometimes age is an advantage in itself.
Lin Jing, the son of Lin Xiangru, the descendant of Zhuangzi, the successor of Lao Tzu, the supreme representative of Lao Zhuang's doctrine and Taoism, thought so when he pointed at Yan Kun.
