Qin Shi Huang made the decision on the spot to abolish feudalism in Kyushu County, China. His words were firm and his tone was majestic.

All the ministers in the palace bowed their heads and said yes, and no one objected to this. It's just that most of the ministers in the hall quietly glanced at the young man standing in the military generals.

Zhao Tuo, the chief of the house! No one was surprised that Tingwei Li Si stood up against the sub-feudal system, after all, the sub-feudal system harmed the interests of the Legalists.

But you, Zhao Tuo, as a beneficiary of the sub-sealing system, not only stood up first, but also spoke passionately, quoted scriptures, directly attacked the loopholes of the sub-seal, and even proposed to repair the road to solve the problem of the vast borderlands.

Zhao Tuo is really selfless, is he really a saint who doesn't care about fiefdom and building a country? Dr. Zhu Qing thought about it in his heart, some people secretly admired, and some people speculated and scolded in their hearts.

But no matter what, the dispute between the feudal system and the county system has come to an end. The emperor not only announced that the whole world should implement counties, but also asked the prime minister, the imperial historian, the court commander and others to go down to discuss the division of the world into counties, determine the number of counties, divide the scope of each county, and so on.

The curtain came down on the court. Zhao Tuo breathed a long sigh of relief. The matter of dividing counties is a thorny issue.

If you make a mistake in taking sides, it is very likely that your political life will be over, and whether you can hold power again, let alone want to do something big in the future, is a question of whether you can hold power again.

So after he was involved by Wang Juan, he had to be the first to stand up and speak out. Judging from the results now, the effect is not bad, at least the emperor should be satisfied with his performance.

However, when he was appreciated by the emperor, Zhao Tuo also felt a lot of malicious eyes. In addition to the very small number of feudal gainers who were unhappy with Zhao Tuo's destruction of their good deeds, there were more Confucian scholars who tried their best to get Wang Juan to contact the ministers everywhere for the sake of the feudal system.

Confucianism often says self-denial and revenge. Restored

"Rite" is the gift of Zhou Gong and the government of Zhou Gong. The sub-sealing system itself is a very important part of the Zhou Dynasty ritual system.

That was the ideal that these Confucian scholars pursued all their lives. Now, Zhao Tuo is on the opposite side of them, shattering the dream of Confucianism to persuade the emperor to divide the feud at the beginning of the new dynasty.

If they didn't have hatred for Zhao Tuo, it would be impossible. Like Chun Yuyue, Qi Weibi and others, their faces were flushed with anger, and they stared at the eldest man fiercely, and their fists in their sleeves were clenched tightly.

For these, Zhao Tuo is clear. But he didn't care, if it was put in the dynasties after Qin in history and hated by Confucians, then he really had to be cautious, and if he didn't pay attention, he might be killed.

But in this Great Qin, you really don't have to worry too much. At this time, the court meeting ended and the emperor left. Wang Juan glanced at Zhao Tuo with a complicated face, and wanted to say something, but he still stopped his mouth, shook his head and left.

The Confucian doctors standing at the end of the hall glared at Zhao Tuo one by one, but they didn't dare to step forward to provoke, they all followed behind Wang Juan, and walked out angrily.

"Chief, your remarks against feudal policies are really sharp and sharp, and they hit the key points of feudalism. It is much more powerful than the letter that the old man used to admonish and chase away customers. Li Si did not leave the hall immediately, but walked over and praised Zhao Tuo with a smile.

Zhao Tuo hurriedly said: "It's just a rhetoric, An Neng is better than Tingwei's good article that was famous all over the world, and Tingwei praised it falsely." Li Si smiled slightly, arched his hand, and turned around and walked out.

Look at each other's backs. Zhao Tuo nodded slightly. Li Si is showing goodwill. In this feudal county matter, although he hated the doctors, he stood on the same front as Li Si, and the original relationship was good, so he could barely be regarded as an ally.

However, for this ally, Zhao Tuo will not be completely relieved.

"This is an old fox, very fine." Thinking of the matter of Li Si snatching his own words and expressing his position to the emperor just now, Zhao Tuo shook his head with a smile and followed out of the palace.

However, before Zhao Tuo could take two steps, a eunuch came in a hurry and said, "Today, the chief of the edict will go to the side hall." Zhao Tuo's footsteps were sluggish, and he hurriedly answered, asking the waiting Shima to return to the mansion first, and then he followed the eunuch to the side hall.

"The Emperor finally has time to summon me alone." Zhao Tuo was very happy in his heart, since he came back from leading the army, followed by all kinds of major events called the emperor's restructuring, the emperor was so busy that he didn't have time to see him alone, and now after the court meeting, it was a good thing to let him meet alone.

Qin Shi Huang sat in the side hall, and when Zhao Tuo came in, he still lowered his head and looked at the scroll of the simple scroll spread out on the eucalyptus.

Xingjun County. Since he wanted to understand the scope of various places in the world, he was now looking at the geography of Qi, Yan, Chu and other places.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Tuo, meet Your Majesty." Zhao Tuo walked in and bowed. Only then did Qin Shi Huang raise his head and carefully examine the young face in front of him.

Although the two had met before, they were too far apart, and secondly, there were many others present, and they were distracted by major events, but now they have calmed down and got along alone, but they have found a lot of changes in each other.

Zhao Tuo has become a lot darker than before, is it because the sun is too big in Qidi? He also began to grow a beard under his chin, and he could no longer be called a teenager.

The immature face that once remained in the memory has faded, replaced by a man who is maturing day by day.

Qin Shi Huang sighed slightly in his heart. But his expression on his face did not change, and he said calmly: "Tell me what you just said, and then tell me in detail." Zhao Tuo was slightly disappointed in his heart.

When called, he talks about business, but he is really a workaholic. However, looking at the thick slips piled up in front of Qin Shi Huang, Zhao Tuo still had some understanding.

The emperor takes the country as his home. In Qin Shi Huang's heart, only national affairs are the most important, and everything else has to be pushed back.

After a little thought, he spoke: "The minister thinks that the traffic road is the blood of the world. In the past, our Qin State attacked Bashu, on the cliff, digging holes and building bridges and pavilions, so the plank road is thousands of miles, leading to Shu Han, so that the world is afraid of Qin. The Sanjin Dynasty repaired the 'noon road', and the horses galloped and people tended to come, and it became a strategic route for Shandong countries to attack our Great Qin. ”

"The road is the most important part of all operations, whether it is a large army conquest, or a logistical transportation, or a messenger's order, it is necessary to pass through the road. The road is convenient, everything is convenient, and the road is inconvenient, everything is inconvenient. ”

"For example, today's traffic is inconvenient, between the four square cities, the roads are staggered, narrow and muddy, and each is blocked by the city embankment, which is one of the reasons why Prime Minister Zuo said that he wants to seal the princes. When the minister led the army to the Kanto region, he often encountered road blockages, and he needed to make a new detour, or he needed to clear the road blockage, which was very inconvenient. This is what the great army does, and so is the traffic of the world. ”

"One of the major reasons that prevent my Great Qin from governing the remote places is because the road is long and obstructive, and the transportation is inconvenient. Nachen thought that I, Daqin, should deal with this reason. The road is far away and cannot be changed, but the obstacles on the road can be removed. The roads are muddy and the traffic is inconvenient, so build a big road to facilitate traffic. In this way, supplemented by the postal post stations laid in various places, it can greatly strengthen the control of our Daqin over the border land. Qin Shi Huang bowed slightly, thinking that he had gone to Handan before and went south to Jingchu Chen Ying, and there was indeed a difficult road on the road.

Seeing that Qin Shi Huang heard this, he nodded again and again. Zhao Tuo took a deep breath and completely laid out his selfishness in taking the initiative to bring up the matter of galloping.

"Moreover, the construction of Chi Road transportation throughout the country can not only strengthen His Majesty's control over all parts of Kyushu, but also facilitate the travel of the world's leaders and win the hearts of the people of the world."

"Go to the head of the world and collect the hearts of the people in the world?" When Qin Shi Huang heard this, his eyebrows furrowed. Build a gallop road.

Zhao Tuo's proposal, he agreed. But in Qin Shi Huang's vision, this road was the road for his emperor to inspect and give orders to the world, and it was also the road for the army to quickly dispatch to various places.

Zhao Tuo gritted his teeth and said: "However, the minister thinks that if the road leading to all parts of Kyushu is built, its length will be thousands or thousands of miles long. ”

"If it is only for the passage of the envoy and the army, and does not make the head of the Qiantou line on this road, there will be no change in the world for a long time, and the envoy and the army will not leave Xianyang for a long time, then it is difficult to know the situation of the road. Thousands of miles of roads are likely to be overgrown with weeds and thorns in many places, and mountain collapses and earthquakes will destroy the road sections, and no one knows about them. In this way, if there is a real emergency, it will be a major national event. ”

"It is better to let Qianshou also pass on the gallop road, so that it can not only facilitate the travel of Qianshou in the world, but also make the traffic convenient in various places. It can also make the court lieutenant legislate, so that the leaders of the Qian, once they find that there is damage or obstruction in the road, they must immediately report to the local government. ”

"In this way, it will be convenient for local governments to understand the situation of the Chi Road, so that it can be repaired and maintained, and it will be kept unblocked at all times, so that in the event of an emergency, the emissaries and troops will be sent to encounter the destruction of the Chi Road." Qin Shi Huang raised his eyebrows slightly.

What Zhao Tuo said is a reason. Allowing Qianshou to walk on the gallop road is equivalent to having more channels to monitor the situation of the road section, but this reason can be replaced by other methods.

For example, legislation to allow local governments to regularly send people to patrol all sections of the gallop on horseback can also achieve the effect that Zhao Tuo said.

Qin Shi Huang shook his head slightly. Seeing his appearance, Zhao Tuo knew that he had not persuaded the other party, and he immediately said the second reason.

"And the minister believes that letting Qianshou also pass on the road can not only inspect the road conditions at all times, but also make them grateful for His Majesty's virtue in building roads, and be more attentive and surrender to His Majesty."

"Grateful for my virtue in building roads?" Qin Shi Huang blinked. Zhao Tuo immediately said: "However, on the galloping road, at intervals, when the stone can be carved to paint, inscribed with His Majesty's work of opening up the road for the head of the world, and at the same time, let the officials and township officials from all over the country publicize this merit to the head of the Qian. ”

"In this way, the head of the world, whenever you walk on the galloping road and feel the convenience of this magnificent avenue, you will be grateful in your heart for Your Majesty's kindness!"

At the same time, let the officials from all over the country preach the cruelty of the six kings, only care about their own selfish desires, and build palaces to work hard and waste money. However, His Majesty has all the people in the world in mind, and the road he built is also to revitalize the head of Qian. In this way, a contrast can be formed, so that the people of the world will be disgusted by the violence of the six kings and grateful for the kindness of His Majesty. ”

"This kind of practice is not only to let the leaders of the world patrol the road conditions for my Great Qin, but also to take the opportunity to gather the hearts of the people and help my Great Qin stabilize the world!" In the end, Zhao Tuo threw out a reason that had the greatest attraction to Qin Shi Huang.

"In ancient times, the three emperors and five emperors cracked thorns, built small roads, and connected the city, and made people remember their merits."

"Now Your Majesty has built a broad road for all the people of the world, so that all the people can travel, and its merit is far greater than that of the ancient emperors, so that it is worthy of the name of the emperor! It can also be praised by all the people of the world, Your Majesty is the emperor of all the people of the world! Hearing the end, Qin Shi Huang's eyes were already full of brilliance.

Zhao Tuo's proposal is not only profitable, but also more famous, but also can win the hearts of the people, help stabilize the world, and make his emperor's name more and more lofty.

Why not?

"Good! Your words are very good, I will cultivate and gallop, and all the people will travel, so that you will be the emperor of all the people in the world! Qin Shi Huang praised him, and he had already approved Zhao Tuo's proposal.

Hearing this, Zhao Tuo hurriedly said, "Your Majesty Shengming." Zhao Tuo was very happy in his heart, his goal had been achieved.

This galloping thing was not something he came up with in his brain, but a thoughtful idea, with his own selfishness.

Zhao Tuo proposed to build a Chi Road in advance and took the initiative, which can not only counter Wang Juan's statement that the transportation is inconvenient and it is difficult to govern the border land.

And it can also make him Zhao Tuo have sufficient say in the matter of Chidao. He had heard from later generations that Qin Zhichi's road cost a lot of people's power, but it was only for the emperor's parade and the passage of the envoy's army, and the people of Qianshou could not go.

In this way, the Chi Road, which cost a huge amount of people's power to build, is not beneficial to the people, which is one of the reasons why later generations have criticized Qin Shi Huang.

Although it is also said that only the middle section of Yanchi Road is a special road for the emperor who is forbidden to pass, and Qianshou can walk on both sides.

But Zhao Tuo didn't dare to bet on this statement, in case this statement was speculated by later generations, and after the Chidao was put forward by others next year, he said that he was not allowed to pass through Qianshou, then the Chidao would completely become the same process as in history that consumed people's power and was not convenient for the people, which would only cause complaints and make Qin lose the hearts of the people.

And even if you can really let Qianshou walk on both sides, but if you can't pass through the middle road, it is also very inconvenient.

Think about it, you can only walk on one side of a road hundreds of miles long, and crossing through the middle is a crime and a sentence will be imposed.

So what if someone wants to go across the road? In the era when there were no viaducts, how to run to the other side?

Therefore, Zhao Tuo preemptively proposed the construction of the Chi Road, and as the proposer, suggested that the people of Qianshou should be allowed to walk the Chi Road and completely open it, which would really turn this big project into a good thing for the benefit of the people.

Later generations often say: if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. It can be seen how much impact a good path has on economic development and social development.

And Zhao Tuo's move not only turned the project that harmed the people in history into a project that benefited the people, and won the hearts of the people all over the world, but even relied on public opinion to publicize the selfishness and cruelty of the monarchs of the six countries, and hit the support of the leaders of the six countries in various places.

And the original purpose of building the Chidao was maintained, and the management of the Qin central government in various places was strengthened to facilitate the mobilization of the army.

It can be said that there are many birds with one stone. Of course, the most important thing is that Zhao Tuo changed another major event in history.

He changed the emperor's mind. Starting from the matter of Chidao, the emperor was changed little by little. Zhao Tuo raised his head.

Looking at the First Emperor on the emperor's couch. muttered in his heart.

"I want you to be a really good emperor!"
