Chapter 166: The Leisurely Life of the First Emperor
"In short, now that the world is calm, there will be no more major turmoil in a short period of time, and there are many things that can finally be done with free hands......" Zhao Si sighed.
The chariot formerly named Daqin actually had a lot of problems because of the violent driving of the First Emperor, and there was a possibility that the car would be destroyed and killed at any time, but it was cleverly resolved by the First Emperor's excellent driving skills.
But not everything can be solved by driving skills.
The current Daqin is equivalent to stepping on a sudden brake, although it triggered a strong reaction, but finally stopped on the verge of losing control.
The biggest unstable situation has been resolved, most of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms have been swept away, and even if there is restlessness, it will take a certain amount of time to dormant and brew, and Zhao Si can finally free up his hands to solve all kinds of small problems on this chariot.
"Go and ......," the First Emperor waved his hand.
Zhao Si nodded and left the palace, and the First Emperor spoke again.
"Yu Ji's side is also tight."
"Grandson's order!" Zhao Si laughed.
Maybe it's because of the love of the house and the black? In short, the First Emperor's attitude towards Yu Ji was not bad.
Of course, Zhao Si estimated that the biggest reason was because Yu Ji was pregnant.
Although theoretically speaking, the current First Emperor already has a great-grandson.
For example, Changyi, the son of Milan, although he is younger than Zhao Si, he got married early and had a son early.
But it is clear that Sun Tzu and Sun Tzu are completely different in the eyes of the First Emperor.
To be more precise, the great-grandson recognized by the First Emperor as Zhao Si's child, not the child of other grandsons.
There are many heirs of the Heavenly Family, and the restrained feelings of the First Emperor have always been only Zhao Si.
Recently, because of the decentralization of power, the first emperor has a lot of leisure time.
This old man who is over half a hundred years old has rarely begun to enjoy the leisurely life of daily life, and even has a feeling of indulging in it.
The first emperor of Fusu still can't believe it, after all, Fusu's political opinions are there, although the relationship between father and son has eased a lot because of Zhao Si, but the awkwardness of more than ten years can not be dissolved in a day.
But trivial matters are handed over to Fusu, and in all fairness, the first emperor is still more relieved.
Not to mention that the military affairs were handed over to Zhao Si, this kid is very clever, and he must ask Wang Jian more about everything, and he will not hesitate to ask the first emperor for advice when he is really unsure.
This is what Emperor Shi admired most about Zhao Si.
Zhao Si will not give up asking for help from his eldest father for the sake of the so-called face.
Thick skin is sometimes a plus.
Therefore, except for some major events that need to be controlled by the First Emperor, the current First Emperor can rest assured.
This is unimaginable for a king who has spent his entire life personally taking care of everything, big and small.
Peace?
Or rest assured?
It's hard to imagine yourself feeling this way.
Yes, this kind of reassurance is not due to the fact that Zhao Si will definitely do things seamlessly.
It's out that even if things are messed up, there are relatives around each other who will seriously solve the problem, without resentment and accusations, and there is no hard-mouthed kind.
So he can rest assured that he will leave things to Zhao Si to do, even if this kid messes things up, it doesn't matter.
What's more, Zhao Si is a clever kid, and he won't let go of the opportunity to ask himself for advice if he can't eat accurately.
Therefore, instead of worrying about these things, the First Emperor was more willing to think about some other things.
Such as...... Will his soon-to-be-born great-grandson inherit the auspicious miracle of his own good saint grandson?
Such as...... Is it not necessary for him to find another daughter-in-law for Zhao Si?
Theoretically speaking, Zhao Si's position as the prince has been decided, and there are vassal states, so he doesn't need to marry to take advantage of it.
Moreover, with the ability of Zhao Si, he does not need to rely on his relatives to stabilize the situation.
Although I didn't like Yu Ji's family background at first, it was rare for my grandson to like it, and Yu Ji was also very competitive, so I had it this year.
The First Emperor clearly remembered that his good saint was not a very restrained person, and he had not had other women before he married Yu Ji, but none of them had been pregnant so far.
In short, out of various emotions, the First Emperor felt that there was no need to toss so much, at least from the point that Chong Yu Ji could give birth to Zhao Si, the First Emperor had recognized the value of Yu Ji.
If Yu Ji's child to Zhao Si can inherit the miracle of his own good saint grandson, then there is no need for any more twists and turns in his life, right?
If family members can trust each other, there is no need for a family to be so chaotic.
"Your Majesty...... The garment you want is ready. CRRC Fu Ling Qian bowed down and opened his mouth to serve the tray.
On it was a small piece of clothing, which was obviously intended by the First Emperor for his great-grandson.
Oh, and maybe a great-granddaughter?
"All thirty-six of them were completed."
"Well, send it over!" The First Emperor waved his hand.
The First Emperor had even begun to look forward to the scene of his great-grandson being teased after the birth of his great-grandson.
In the past, I couldn't relax because there was no one to share it, but when the child is older, it's no problem to share some with my father.
……
On the other side, Zhao Si also found Li Si.
"What is Lee Xiang busy with?"
Inside, I saw Li Si writing on the desk.
Zhao Si leaned over and saw that the content written in it was quite lofty, what kind of person wants to be reasonable......
I know all the words, but when I put them together, they become unfamiliar.
"Write a book and talk about ......it," Li Si heard the sound and put away the draft on the case.
"Li Xiang, is this ready to be sanctified?" Zhao Si was quite familiar with pulling over a cushion and kneeling down.
"How's it going?" Zhao Si leaned over curiously and spoke.
"Now I just have a clue, how can it be so simple to write a book and say it?" Lees shook his head.
"Your Highness is ......," Li Si asked.
"The filthy people in the Jiaodong area have been pacified, if nothing else, there will be no more turmoil in Daqin for a long time, and now Daqin is in the north of Nayin Mountain, Xianbei Wuheng Huns are all called ministers, and the south is expanding to Baiyue, and the world is in ruins because of the rebellion of last year, so it is indispensable to levy and issue conscription...... The main reason for coming today is to discuss with Li Xiang and sort out the conscription. Zhao Si said.
"Your Highness, please speak!" Li Si nodded and spoke.
"First of all, it's hard labor and military service, and I think the score is clear...... The 600,000 military service in Lingnan is conscripted for military service, but in fact it is for hard service, right? Zhao Si said.
Great Qin referred to labor service and military service as conscription, and there is no clear distinction at present.
From a military point of view alone, the current Great Qin is actually a conscription system, not a conscription system.
And because of the continuous war, the reason for construction is indispensable after the war, so it is sometimes unclear whether the conscription is military service, labor service, or both.
In short, it's very confusing.
But it would not be so much if there was no distinction among them.
Compulsory service is usually of a shorter duration, and military service is usually of a longer duration.
However, in some areas, there is a need for war and development, and the situation is more complicated.
Like the extreme Lingnan ......
It is said that it is conscription, but in fact it is similar to immigration.
These 600,000 people, pessimistically speaking, are likely to be doomed to not return from the moment they are requisitioned.
"Your Highness refers to Lingnan? Lingnan can't do without these 600,000 people......" Li Si asked.
"I didn't say I was going to let them go back......," Zhao Si shook his head.
Although this kind of thing is very inauthentic, there is no way to do it, this is the reality.
Now the situation in Daqin is still small and there are many people, especially after the order to move the king's tomb was implemented.
The land contradiction in the Central Plains is not too big, the population is not so much, the world can be regarded as peaceful, if it is not through forced immigration, there is a high probability that no one wants to go to a place like Lingnan......
Historically, the widespread exploitation of wild lands was either due to war, cataclysm, or changes in geographical conditions......
It's too hard and too hard to expect to get people through rewards and benefits on a large scale.
The human heart tends to be stable on the whole......
Just like now, there are hundreds of catties of immortal grain per mu, there is a good public security environment, the tax is only one-tenth, the price of salt is also very low, and there is no war.
You let such a family immigrate to the miasma everywhere, the average life expectancy may not exceed 30 years old, and you may be conscripted as a soldier at any time to fight with the Lingnan tribes, and you may face the rebellion of the Lingnan tribes at any time......
Not to mention giving 100 acres of land, people don't want to ...... 1,000 acres of land
Therefore, forced immigration is a helpless thing......
This is the reality, when the majority of the people in the Central Plains are still alive and the class contradictions are fully resolved, it will become extremely difficult to emigrate and expand.
"Lingnan is like this...... What I need is a clear distinction between military service and hard labor, and immigrants are immigrants...... These things have to be sorted out. Zhao Si said.
"In this way, there will definitely be whispers in the local area......" Li Si raised an eyebrow.
"In fact, the 600,000 servants in Lingnan are still counting on returning home, and if they are told that they are not allowed to return home, they may cause trouble...... Not only Lingnan, but also many people in Longxi actually moved over from the conscription. Li Si spread his hands.
"This will be a mess, and officials everywhere will not agree, including Zhao Tuo."
Zhao Si sat down and looked at Li Si when he heard the sound: "If you don't agree, you have to do it...... Paper can't hold the fire, how many years have it been now? Even if you don't say it, don't you realize it? Take Lingnan as an example, it is nothing more than the method of using bullet pressure, the Lingnan departments must be guarded, the common people must also be guarded, and both sides must be guarded, is this a good thing?
The new Qianshou does not need to serve, does not need to pay taxes, and even Xianyang has a lot of subsidies, is it not good to give these things to his own people? Zhao Si asked.
The so-called new Qianshou refers to a wide range.
Sometimes it refers to the people of the newly conquered Six Kingdoms.
Sometimes it refers to the nobles of the Six Kingdoms who submitted to Great Qin.
Some refer to the barbarian Rongdi who are different from the cultural customs of the Central Plains.
It all started with a decree.
After Qin Kaibaiyue conquered the Xiongnu Pingbazhong, there were relevant decrees.
That is, the land of Xinna, the barbarians, the lord is not more than the past, and at the same time there is no need to pay taxes.
It refers specifically to the barbarian Rongdi who were conquered except for the seven countries of the Central Plains.
Somewhat similar to the special policy for ethnic minorities.
That is, as long as this group of people accepts the rule of Great Qin, they can not serve like a knighthood, and at the same time, they do not need to pay taxes, and they can also retain special ethnic units at the grassroots level, such as what tribal system or something......
No way, the barbarians are not like the Seven Kingdoms of the Central Plains.
In fact, since a long time ago, the seven countries of the Central Plains have been successively reformed into the county system because of the conquest, so it is not so difficult for the first emperor to change customs, more precisely, the seven countries of the Central Plains, no matter which country, have actually been accustomed to accepting that there is a king on the top of their heads, not to mention, although the customs in the Central Plains are very different, but not so big.
And the barbarians......
The customs are too different, the language and writing are not understood, the blood relatives are the tribe and connection, they are poor and arbitrary, they have less money and more things, and they like to use their fists to solve problems, and they can't kill them, and they are not afraid to kill......
From the Qin Dynasty to the Ming and Qing dynasties, special policies for such ethnic minorities were not uncommon, and most of them usually did not have to pay taxes because the output was too small, and even the central government needed to make a certain amount of subsidies......
To put it bluntly, because of a high sense of identity and habits that are very different from those of the Central Plains......
People have united front value......
And Zhao Si meant to honor these special treatments to the Qin people who had immigrated to the past.
"What about the barbarians?" Lees asked.
"Those who obey the king's orders will be treated equally, and those who disobey the king's orders will plough the court and sweep the caves and exterminate the species." Zhao Si opened his mouth and said.
"Daqin has suffered losses in Lingnan before, how can it be so easy to plow the court and sweep the holes?" Li Si frowned.
"That's because there are no people in the local area." Zhao Si opposed Li Si's decision.
"Although the soldiers are essentially immigrants, they always think that they are soldiers, they always think that their home is in the Central Plains, and now it is different, now it is to tell them that their home is here, their family is here, the future is also here, their children and grandchildren are here, and there are 600,000 barbarians in the Lingnan tribes? We have 600,000 local people!
Li Xiang: Have you ever heard of villagers fighting for water?
Let them go from fighting for Great Qin to fighting for themselves! Zhao Si said seriously.
Although Zhao Si's strategy is somewhat shameful, taking advantage of human nature.
But honestly, there's nothing wrong with that.
At least the welfare of the new Qianshou falls on his own people, doesn't it?
It's better than being deceived and delayed, and finally having to accept the reality of living here for a long time.
As for letting them go, it's impossible...... There is no such thing as the best of both worlds in the world.
Let them become locals, so that their great power can be brought into play.
Why did Tu Weifa Lingnan suffer? On the one hand, it was because of the battle in different places, and on the other hand, it was also because the soldiers fought for Qin, not for a few.
And the premise of doing this is to make them accept reality......
Accept the reality that they can't return to the Central Plains.
"Your Highness really has a problem for me......" Li Si sighed.
"No way...... You can't wait so long to expect exile to last? How long can you expect deception to be hidden? The simplest and most effective way is to reunite their families and compensate them five times the amount of land they have on their land...... Labor service, military service, and relocation must be clearly scored, and the times have changed, and we must not use the previous techniques of controlling the people. ”
