Chapter 529: Those who win the hearts of the people win the world
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "All I want is your words. I intend to use your power to gain control of the Ten Miles and Eight Towns."
Ying Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "Father-in-law, I know you have ambitions, but your ambitions are too small.
What is there to control, I said, after you go out, I will help you buy a small country."
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "I know you have filial piety, but this is my obsession, I hope you can fulfill it."
"But I really don't want to get involved in your internal affairs." Qin An said, "But I will help my father-in-law. Because I'm going out."
"Haha......" Ying Zheng laughed, "Okay. I'll help you out."
Li Si and the others couldn't figure out what Ying Zheng was thinking at this time.
It doesn't seem to be angry at all, but from what he said just now, it seems that Yingzheng is instigating Qin An to seize power again, as if he is testing whether Qin An is greedy for power.
In fact, Ying Zheng was just tempting, and now he was very satisfied with Qin An's answer.
Qin An has never forgotten his original intention, thinking about returning to his own time, and at the same time, he has not forgotten to buy a country for Yingzheng, and he has no ambition.
All of these made Ying Zheng very satisfied.
As for the future, as Qin An said, the descendants of the future generations will have the blessings of the descendants of the future generations, and it is useless to worry about it yourself.
"Treat today's events as if they never happened, don't spread them around, and don't let the rest of the court know, understand?" Ying Zheng said.
"No."
Li Si and the others had already understood at this time, and this matter had been revealed, and no one should mention it.
Qin An also understood at this time, because the people shouted long live themselves, so they would worry Yingzheng and them.
He sighed, "I see. Father-in-law, if this matter is known to the court, what will it do with me?"
"It's a crime of extermination." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice, "Whether it is the people or you, there is a disaster of extermination."
"Such a court should indeed be replaced."
"What did you say?"
Before Qin An could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Ying Zheng's voice.
The others also panicked, this matter has passed, what are you still mentioning him for?
Just when everyone was anxious about Qin An, Qin An spoke, "Father-in-law, don't be angry, listen to me."
"Okay, you say, I see what you have to say." Ying Zheng said angrily.
Qin An immediately explained: "Tang Taizong Li Shimin once compared water to the people and small boats to the emperor.
It also put forward the remark that water can carry a boat and also capsize a boat. He is loved by the people of the world.
Li Shimin seems to have mentioned that he laid the foundation for the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and his Zhenguan rule is even more famous in history.
Mencius also once said that whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world.
Now I have built a steam plough cart, and I am loved by the people, and they are shouting hooray, which is the time for the people's hearts.
As a person in power, if the thought at this time is to punish me and the people, then this person in power will lose the support of the people and may eventually be destroyed."
Ying Zheng's expression changed, and he said, "According to your opinion, what should the imperial court do?"
"Reward me, reward the people, so that I will take refuge in the court, and the people will submit to the court even more, what a good thing.
As for chanting long live, the ministers and the people will call it long live the emperor, but sometimes, when a big event and a big happy event happens, everyone will also shout long live.
This is not the so-called crime of defrauding the king, but the people's opinion that this matter is as important as the emperor.
For example, if an enemy attacks outside the capital, let's take Hangu Pass as an example.
Just when the enemy besieged Hangu Pass for half a month, he was about to break through Hangu Pass, and Xianyang City was in danger.
There was a general who led the only remaining soldiers and horses to defeat the enemy, and at this time, all the soldiers who escaped death excitedly shouted Long live Great Qin and chanted this at the same time
Long live the generals.
If it's a father-in-law, do you reward this general, or do you punish this general?"
Ying Zheng frowned slightly and said, "If I am the one in power, I will definitely reward this general, and if anyone says bad things about this general because of this matter, I will definitely punish this person."
"Father-in-law will definitely be a good emperor." Qin An said, "However, there are also two kinds of rewards, one is to hold real power, and the other is to only give false names.
I suggested that my father-in-law set up a martyr's shrine and a pavilion for the imperial court.
The Martyrs' Shrine can engrave the names of all the martyrs in history and write the life deeds of this person.
Bunkaku is simple, not only with outstanding literary talent, but also with people who have contributed to the country.
For example, Confucius, Mencius, Mohist giants and other people who contributed to society, they can add his name to the Wenge and write down their merits.
The Martyrs' Shrine and the Bunkaku, not only record the people of their own country, but also the people of the enemy country, as long as they are loyal martyrs, they can be written into the Martyrs' Shrine.
The purpose of the Martyrs' Shrine is to promote the martyrs, so that all the people in the world can become a loyal martyrs."
"Good idea." Gan Luo said, "In this way, ten miles and eight towns will support the imperial court, no, as long as the village chief proposes, everyone will support the village chief."
"We'll talk about it then." Ying Zheng said, "Today, we will watch the ploughing truck plough the fields well, and celebrate it well in the evening, and then talk specifically about the Martyrs' Shrine and the Wenge."
"No."
Then everyone sat on the plough cart and ploughed the plough for a whole day, and the steam plough cart kept plowing the plough without the slightest tiredness.
"Qin An, won't this car get tired?" Li Si asked curiously.
"That's the difference. Cattle get tired, people get tired, but the plough truck doesn't, as long as it has enough fuel, which is coal, it can run for a year." Qin An said, "However, people need to change often, otherwise one person will be too tired."
"It's okay, just stop the car, just like just now, every time you stop for a little relief." Ying Zheng said.
They stood for so long, but they stopped the car several times in the middle of the way, just for convenience.
Qin An nodded and said, "Father-in-law, it's getting late, let's go back." I also have to prepare the ingredients, so that they can't go hungry."
"It's fine." Ying Zheng said with satisfaction, "Yan Yan and they are pregnant, so they really can't go hungry."
After that, everyone got out of the car and went back to the yard.
In the courtyard, the three daughters of Yingyin had already learned the news of the success of the experiment. also knew that the villagers shouted long live Mr., and even knew that Yingzheng did not blame Qin An.
This makes them happy at first, then nervous and worried, and finally relieved, as if they have been on a roller coaster ride.
In the middle, the three girls all wanted to go to Qin An, but were finally persuaded by Zhang Han.
Now that everyone is relieved, they know that Ying Zheng and the others are coming back, so they let the chef who prepared in advance start cooking.
