Xianyang City.
Ying Lin was in a good mood.
The external pressure was still huge.
Great Qin's internal situation was gradually improving.
Zhang Liang finally agreed to help Ying Lin.
He had a higher degree of recognition for Ying Lin's ambition, character, and style. It was not in vain to bring a salted fish guest by his side all day long. This was a good start!
Zhang Liang himself was actually quite open-minded.
In another time and space, after Liu Bang established the Han Empire, he decided to imitate the Qin system and abolish the enfeoffment. A large number of conservative ministers in the court jumped out to oppose it, but Zhang Liang was not among them.
This meant…
Zhang Liang's essence.
In fact, he did not reject the unification of China.
The reason why he was targeting Great Qin was purely because he was dissatisfied with Great Qin's laws. As a Han noble and famous person, he was naturally hostile to Great Qin.
Ying Lin's appearance.
It made him realize his narrow-mindedness.
At this moment, his obsession to restore the country was no longer so strong.
Zhang Liang was also very clear.
If the Han Kingdom was destroyed, it was destroyed.
Compared to the other vassal states.
Han was too weak and small.
The chances of restoring the country were minuscule.
Since that was the case, why should he go against the heavens and let the people of the world suffer?
When Zhang Liang inspected the heroes of the world, he initially thought that Xiang Yu and Liu Bang were the ones most likely to be successful. Among them, Xiang Yu could conquer the world but could not rule the world. Although Liu Bang had many shortcomings, he was the only one among the princes who could become the ruler of the world.
However, compared to Ying Lin…
In the end, Liu Bang was still far inferior.
If Ying Lin could bring peace to this world, if Ying Lin could bring happiness to the people of the world, if Ying Lin could make the Chinese race more prosperous and more dignified.
Then…
It was just a country name.
Was it really that important?
Zhang Liang had such a self-reflection and mentality.
He had already started to help out with some administrative matters.
Although he had not participated in the planning of the army and the country for the time being, Ying Lin believed that this day would not be too far away. As long as he was given a little more time, he would definitely integrate into his team.
Yinglin ordered Ziying and Zhang Liang to carry out the reform.
In the beginning, some overly harsh punishments and taxes would be reduced.
Great Qin's taxes were unprecedentedly heavy, and Great Qin's laws were unprecedentedly harsh.
For example.
They threw rubbish on the streets.
This was not a big deal in the future.
The Qin law clearly wrote,"Those who throw their ashes to the Tao will be abandoned in the market."
"Gray" referred to trash.
Dao referred to the path.
" Abandoning the city " referred to the execution of a criminal in public in a crowded downtown area.
To put it simply.
You have transmigrated to Great Qin.
How dare you throw rubbish on the street?
Then it was very likely that he would be caught and beheaded in the downtown area!
In addition, the Qin law also had a rule: "Those who slander will be exterminated, and those who speak will be executed.”
Anyone who dared to discuss Qin politics in private would be exterminated according to the law. When three to five people gathered together for a secret discussion, no matter what was said, the participants would have to be executed. There were many similar harsh laws.
This was also the reason.
In another time and space, after Liu Bang entered the pass, he made three rules with the people and could quickly gather the hearts of the people. The three rules were ridiculous and full of loopholes, but they simply and crudely broke the harsh and complicated Qin law, greatly reaping the hearts of the people.
In the eyes of future generations.
The laws of Qin were indeed extremely strict.
However, he couldn't just look at it from the perspective of future generations.
Qin Shihuang's continued high-handed policy was to suppress the restoration of the enfeoffment system.
After all, the Zhou Dynasty's enfeoffment system had lasted for more than 800 years. After Great Qin unified the world, the restored factions were very tenacious, and if they did not put pressure on them, they would definitely retaliate.
Burning books and burying scholars.
Regardless of whether this was true or not.
But Qin Shihuang hated Confucian scholars.
This was basically the reason.
Pre-Qin Confucians were firm supporters of feudalism.
The First Emperor's iron-blooded methods.
All the policies implemented by the First Emperor.
In the end, it was all to maintain the stability of the Empire and the unity of China.
It might seem a little too overbearing and ruthless in the current world, but if the time scale was extended, future generations would understand the benefits of "writing the same text and riding the same train" to the nation. In the historical change, short-term pain would always be inevitable.
It had been fifteen years.
The Great Qin Empire had suppressed China for fifteen years.
The most stubborn of the older generation had already died.
The new generation of Huaxia was not familiar with the Zhou system.
Therefore, the high-pressure policy could be gradually relaxed.
At this moment.
The world was in chaos.
It was the final counterattack of the restored forces.
Great Qin's nobles either died or rebelled.
At this time, the internal resistance to the reform would be the least, and it could quickly gather the hearts of the people inside and outside the pass. In the end, the old nobles of the six countries would be wiped out, and the restored forces would completely calm down. The world would definitely return to peace!
Ying Lin believed him.
After the chaos.
Great Qin would be reborn from the ashes.
The world of Huaxia would be reborn.
Eunuch Han Tan said,"Your Majesty, Qi Sai requests an audience."”
Ever since Ying Lin had spared Qi Sai's family, Qi Sai had completely changed his attitude. Although his talent was average and his abilities were average, he was already loyal to the Emperor and was conscientious in his work.
This time.
He was here to report the latest progress of Longxi's disaster relief.
Ying Lin listened carefully.”
Qi Sai bowed his head again and said,"I still have one more thing. My daughter, Yi 'er, has already made preparations. I hope Your Majesty can allow her to enter the palace."”
He had almost forgotten.
Some time ago.
Ying Lin approved Qi Yi's entry into the palace.
This was not Ying Lin's request. He was currently too busy with internal and external matters. How could he be in the mood to recruit palace maids and expand the harem? It was all because of the Qi family's loyalty, taking the initiative to beg Miss Qi to become a palace maid.
"Where is Qi Yi?"
"Outside the hall."
"Let her in."
Qi Yi walked into Xianyang Palace.
It was different from the first meeting with Dan Shui.
Qi Yi was currently dressed in a simple yet appropriate female outfit.
She had meticulously groomed herself, making her already outstanding appearance even more radiant. Due to her love of dancing since she was young, her figure was perfect. From an aesthetic point of view, there was nothing to be picky about.
Even if it was thrown into the Six Nations Palace.
She was also the most eye-catching one.
"Zhen asks you, did you enter the palace voluntarily? Answer honestly, there's no need to worry!”
Qi Yi blushed.
Her heart was pounding.
He answered almost without thinking.
"I admire Your Majesty's heavenly might and am willing to be a slave. I have no other thoughts in serving Your Majesty in this life.”
Ying Lin nodded and said," The bandits have yet to be pacified, and the world is still uncertain. It is inconvenient for Zhen to take in a concubine, but I can make an exception and make you a young envoy. From now on, you will be in charge of checking the finances of the six palaces. As long as you perform well, Zhen will not mistreat you."”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Qi Sai and his daughter were overjoyed.
The two of them knelt down at the same time to thank him.
