"How can it be so easy......" Li Si sighed.

"Now that the situation has just been calmed down, it will take some time to relax, and from the current point of view, there is no problem with Ren Huan Zhao Tuo's decree and Ji Baiyue, if the Central Plains people discriminate against the different customs of the Yue people, it will be easy to dampen the feelings of the Lingnan people......," Li Si said.

"The barbarians are not educated, and the border areas cannot make ends meet, and if they move troops for many years, they will already be unable to make ends meet, and I am afraid that they will be even more nervous.

Your Highness, I have to tell you the truth, in fact, for the border feudal areas, being able to bear their own profits and losses financially, and being able to promote education in government affairs, so that the barbarians can obey the king, is already a superior political achievement, but now all the sides of the world, the feudal people, have to rely on the Guanzhong to make up for it. Li Si said with a sigh.

"These places have been settled in the Lord."

"So the Five Techniques of Harnessing the People are only used in the Central Plains?" Zhao Si raised his eyebrows.

"Dogs with orders, wolves with meat ......"

"A good person has to have someone put a knife on his neck? There is no such reason, does it? Zhao Si frowned.

"How many barbarians are there in Baiyue? How many Rong people can there be?

If they have 500,000, then 500,000 people will move over, and if they have a million, then 1 million people will move over! Zhao Si said categorically.

"There are only four million households in Daqin, where are so many people moving? After the relocation, who will cultivate the fertile soil of the Central Plains? Li Si looked at Zhao Si.

"Besides, there are still many subordinate ministers and concubines and private slaves in these four million households."

"Then abolish slavery, free the slaves, exile those who are guilty, and go home and have children as soon as possible if they are not guilty, I have long wanted to do this, doesn't Li Xiang want to change the law? To be sanctified and called the Son? Abolish slavery, issue a slave release decree, keep the tomb of Li Xiangzu smoke, merit added, and soared in place. ”

"Since Li Xiang wants to change the law, I think we have to start with the abolition of slavery and legalization."

Slavery is too anti-human and, likewise, too wasteful of productivity.

As a traverser, a modern person who has witnessed more than 2,000 years of history, Zhao Si deeply understands a truth.

Free people are often the ones who are most oppressive.

Slavery is the most backward institution in every sense of the word.

"Your Highness really wants to make a ......," Li Si smiled.

"I'm not joking with Li Xiang, if you want to change the law, you must start with the abolition of slavery." Zhao Si said seriously.

In fact...... From a long, long time ago, Zhao Si had such an idea.

From the first day he got off the ship and set foot in Daqin.

Zhao Si was lucky, after he returned to Daqin, he lived the life of a master, and luckily did not personally experience the laws carefully made by Shang Jun for the people, let alone experience the so-called five techniques of controlling the people.

Because from the moment he landed, Zhao Si was destined to become a nobleman.

Who were the people around him? It was the first emperor, a high-ranking official and nobleman.

He just stood from the perspective of a bystander, criticizing this era out of the values formed by his nine-year compulsory education, and never felt the same way.

He knew that there were some things that didn't make sense, such as equality......

Zhao Sicai would not talk about equality in ancient times.

But sitting in his current position, whether it is out of personal morality or because he is the prince who will inherit the throne in the future, Zhao Si clearly knows that the thing of slavery is not reasonable at all.

Especially for the imperial power! It's the opposite!

If you can satisfy your own values and be good for your position under your ass, why not do it?

"Your Highness, didn't you roast me on the fire?" Lees sighed.

"I'm not joking with Li Xiang, in fact, the border is unstable Li Xiang knows better than me in his heart, and Ji Baiyue is certainly right, but in the end, the barbarians are still afraid of power and morality, and there are not enough people in the border areas, counting on cultural assimilation, how long it will take, and how many changes will happen in the middle, Li knows better than me.

Now there are Baiyue, but Li Xiang forgot the Yinshan land that he just fell?

Han Xin brought back 200,000 people, but throwing these 200,000 people into the newly expanded land of Great Qin was tantamount to a drop in the bucket.

In addition to Baiyue and Longxi, what about Liaodong and Liaoxi? These two places are also vast and sparsely populated, but what about the sea?

The islands are dotted, and in the future, the entire offshore islands will be included by Daqin, and the small islands will not be mentioned for the time being, and the big islands must have counties, right?

All of this requires people, and it seems to me that turning people into slaves is the most stupid and wasteful thing to do.

Especially people who have a natural cultural identity with the Central Plains.

Even if they are criminals, as long as they are not heinous, they are valuable to me.

So be sure to free the slaves! The slaves must be freed!

Not to mention that there are only more than 4 million households in Daqin now, even if there are 10 million households, 10,000 households, it may not be enough......" Zhao Si said seriously.

"Therefore, not only do I want to release the slaves, but I also plan to abolish corporal punishment and the punishment of sitting together, and I don't hide from Li Xiang that these are all things that must be done to change the law.

I intend that in the future, except for the heinous criminals, I will try not to carry out the punishment of amputation, because people must not only live, but also all, and these people, even if they are exiled, will be of great use. Zhao Si said.

"Why bother? According to His Highness's method, it's almost fast, I'm afraid there will be no less local battles, right? Lees spoke.

Li Si understood what Zhao Si's immigration strategy was.

Increase the proportion of the population, and change the preferential treatment policy from ethnic groups to regions.

Speaking of human terms, the previous policy of tax exemption and exemption from forced labor has changed from targeting barbarian tribes to targeting all those who settle there, whether they are barbarians or people from the Central Plains who have moved over, they can enjoy this treatment.

Then they used various means, including forced immigration, welfare propaganda, and exile of criminals, to forcibly increase the proportion of Central Plains people in the region.

The ratio of the Central Plains to the barbarians can reach 1:2, and it will be relatively simple to assimilate and integrate and change customs, because the Great Qin government will have a very stable basic plate.

If the ratio of the population can reach 1:1, it will be easy to change customs.

But there's no need......

After all, the current assimilation method is time-proven.

Show your might first, knock on the beat, and then cultural invasion...... It's just a little slower.

"Lee Sang doesn't understand normal...... Nowadays, assimilation and changing customs are actually relatively simple.

Because in a broad sense, now we are talking about the barbarian Rong Di, as early as the time of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, we were dealing with them, aside from myths and legends, Xia Shang Zhou has the theory of barbarian Rong Di, not to mention that the founding of the Great Qin was founded on the territory of the Rong people.

Even now, these barbarians have many Yin Shang nobles' bloodline.

If it goes back to the period of Emperor Yan and the Yellow Emperor, maybe it is not possible to have one of our ancestors?

Further back in the legends and myths, we have something in common with the barbarian Rongdi.

Zhuxia is in the center, and the barbarians are Rongdi, and in the end, their customs and culture are also affected.

You should know this point, Li Xiang, and even some of our areas have come from the barbarian period. ”

Li Si nodded when he heard this.

Chu Ma......

That's true......

"Ten miles of different sounds, a hundred miles of different customs...... What do these places have in common with each other, deepen the communication with each other, and after a long time, they will naturally become one, you now go to hold a barbarian child and raise it, when you become an adult, who knows that he is a barbarian? ”

"Yes, that's exactly the truth!" Lees nodded.

"What if people are different?" Zhao Si looked at Li Si.

"Li Xiang should have heard me say that there are red-haired hawk-eyed people overseas, brown-haired people, yellow-haired people, and people who are black and like evil ghosts......

Out of the Central Plains, the farther away, the less they have in common, and the farther away, even the people are different, at this time, the assimilation is even slower......

You say it a hundred times, but the difference can't be covered, and there will always be a chance for those who have a heart to take advantage of.

In the end, it is necessary to have enough people in Zhuxia.

That's why I'm more inclined to the population advantage, it's easy to walk the road that few people have walked, but Daqin will eventually take the road that no one has walked in the future.

A group of black-faced people, even if they speak Qin language and write seal scripts, in the final analysis, they can easily form a faction. ”

"What does Your Highness mean?"

"First use the population to occupy the main body, and then use culture to occupy the dominant position."

"I probably understand what His Royal Highness Taisun said......" Li Si nodded.

"So how is the preparation of the Li phase transformation method? When can I let it go? Zhao Si asked with a smile.

Everything is still inseparable from Li Si.

In the final analysis, it is still necessary to change the law.

The shortcomings and advantages of Daqin's system are relatively obvious, so there is no need to go into too much detail.

The order to move the king's tomb, reduce taxes and taxes, to put it bluntly, is to do a small maintenance and put on a lubricating oil.

Useful, but not enough.

If you really want to achieve great things, you still have to rely on Li Si's changes.

To change, to change!

At the very least, you can't continue to copy Shang Jun's homework a hundred years ago.

To change the engine! To be overhauled!

As for that, will Great Qin become Little Qin? Then it doesn't matter.

Zhao Si waited for Li Si's movements for some time.

"Now that it is decided today, it is advisable to be quiet and not to move, it is the time to recuperate, and besides, there is no clue when writing books and sayings...... The stakes are too big to be carefully considered, and it is really difficult to give His Highness time a promise. Lees replied.

Just recited the pot of the king's tomb order, let yourself carry the pot of the slave, right?

There are many people who have offended.

The big nobles, the small nobles, the clans, almost all of them who had slaves in their families were offended.

Hey, that's not all, you have to offend the local government, why?

Because Daqin fucking has official slaves, strictly speaking, official slaves are fucking assets that belong to the local government.

This is even bigger than the pot of the tomb of the king......

Although it may not necessarily be more turbulent than the Tomb Removal Order.

Zhao Si, who had just eased relations with the First Emperor and had a close relationship with him, became the grandson again, and Li Si was just happily thinking that the five ponies had left him.

Hey, who expected these five ponies to run back again.

I also brought five more friends......

Li Si dared to do it, and Li Si dared to do it, after all, this offended the old officials at most, and offended the students who believed in the old law were regarded as betrayers by the legalists.

However, he still has new officials to win over, and as soon as his new doctrine and ideas come out, the new law that conforms to the times can kick the old law into the trash can and climb out.

After all, if you waste meat and sit together, people in the world don't say that everyone is good, but at least there is no harm.

But abolition?

Li Si understands the reason, but Li Si just doesn't do it.

Not to mention anything else, there must be thousands of slaves in Li Si's family, which is relatively rare among his colleagues.

Li Si felt that this kind of decree would feel pain and regret when it fell on him, let alone on the people of the world?

Is this a real property?

This is clearly making people cut meat!

Of course, you can endure cutting your own meat, but people in the world will not tolerate him Li Si.

Li Si knew that this was a good thing, a good thing for the country, and it could even make up for a key link in the thought he was conceiving.

But who can protect him?

The grandson can't be saved.

The First Emperor...... I'm afraid it's hard to say.

If this is done, there will really be people who want to destroy the flesh and end the plan.

If you don't talk about what is far away, you can talk about what is near......

The palace garrison Yulin Army, the Yulin Army is the only standing army in Great Qin, everyone has a title and property, and basically every family has slaves.

In addition, there are palace guards, halberders, and the same is true.

Cutting flesh is all cut to the violent group that protects its own personal safety......

Politically, who can protect him except the First Emperor?

Zhao Si flickered and wanted him to ride five ponies again, which was impossible.

At the very least, you have to give some personal safety guarantees, don't you?

"That's ......" Zhao Sihu glanced at Li Si suspiciously, and always felt that Li Xiang, the old guy, didn't seem to finish speaking.

What do you have to say?

But after all, people are professional, and Zhao Si is not good at urging too much.

After all, Li Si is the minister of a country, and he has a lot of things to do, and it is not easy to be a pastemaker, not to mention that the political affairs are governed in an orderly manner, and the government is still in the past?

"Li Xiang has to be as soon as possible...... Zhao Si smiled, and he didn't bother Li Si.

Not yet? It's nothing more than communicating with Li Si later, exchanging and urging one or two......

Leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhao Si went straight to the palace......

At the end of the day, it didn't get done, but it could be regarded as a consensus with Li Si.

The First Emperor had a rather leisurely inquiry, Zhao Si frowned and finished talking, and the First Emperor smiled after listening.

"Didn't say when you could start?" The First Emperor knocked on the table with great interest.

"Didn't say it...... I see that Li Xiang is writing a book and speaking, and it is not finished yet......" Zhao Si shook his head.

"When did you write a book and talk about it? If he can't finish writing it in a day, won't this Fa remain unchanged for a day? The First Emperor snorted.

The First Emperor got up and knocked Zhao Si on the head with a bamboo slip.

For many years, how could the First Emperor not be able to see Li Si's careful thoughts?

Even though Zhao Si is the most beloved grandson of the First Emperor, he is not the First Emperor after all, and he cannot make promises on behalf of the First Emperor.

Meantime...... Naturally, he was not as offensive as the First Emperor.

It is clear that he is relying on his good saint grandson to remember the old love, and wants to ask for a guarantee from his side.

"Go again!"

"Still going?"

"Scare him!"
