Chu Han was shocked. He hurriedly said," Sir, you just said that you're not that kind of crazy person. How dare you criticize His Majesty on the street now?"”
This was Xianyang City!
By commenting on Qin Shihuang in Xianyang City, could it be that he wanted to occupy a spot when he burned books and buried scholars in the future?
Old Meng quickly smiled." Shopkeeper, we have traveled far and wide to do business. We need to pay attention to the country's situation and the monarch's heart. Shopkeeper has opened a shop in Xianyang City, so he must know His Majesty better than us. Therefore, we want to ask Shopkeeper what kind of person His Majesty is so that we can adjust our countermeasures in case we make a big mistake in the future.”
As he spoke, Old Meng took out another yi of gold and stuffed it into Chu Han's hand. He comforted him,"Shopkeeper, only the heavens and the earth know what you said. Our Old Meng is also an honest person. He will definitely not tell others what he said today.”
Feeling the weight of his palm, Chu Han's heart skipped a beat.
This was one yi of gold!
A total of 24 taels!
Even in the future, that would be a huge sum of four to five hundred thousand!
After hesitating for a moment, Chu Han saw that there were no more customers in the restaurant, so he directly closed the door and sent the waiter to the kitchen. He then sat back down and said in a low voice,"Then I'll just say a few words casually. You two just heard it, but I won't admit it after we leave this shop.”
Old Zhao chuckled." Shopkeeper, feel free to speak your mind. I…As the saying goes, one cannot stand without trust. I have been in business for decades, and I rely on the word trust!”
"Good! Then I'll say a few words." Chu Han sipped his wine and said," If you ask me, His Majesty is the ruler of the Three Emperors and has made great contributions to the Five Emperors. He deserves the title of Emperor!"”
"Oh?" Old Zhao and Old Meng were stunned.
For more than ten years, the Qin State had gone on a series of wars and destroyed six countries. The laws were strict and labor was heavy. The world was filled with complaints. Just now, weren't there a few Confucian scholars who treated Qin Shi Huang as a tyrant that was even more powerful than Xia Jie, Shang Zhou?
As for the title of 'Emperor', it had aroused the dissatisfaction of countless people. Even Ying Zheng himself had only decided to call himself' First Emperor 'after being persuaded by important officials, after repeated consideration, and under some inflated circumstances.
But now, this small restaurant owner was saying that the current Emperor was worthy of the title of Emperor?
"What do you mean?" asked Old Meng hurriedly.”
Chu Han said," Let's start from the unification of the currency. His Majesty not only unified the currency, but also unified the weights and measures. The books are the same, the carriages are the same, and the actions are the same. Just this point alone is enough to say that His Majesty's virtue is the same as the three emperors, and his achievements surpass the five emperors!”
Old Zhao's eyes lit up.
The five policies that Chu Han had mentioned had aroused the resistance of the people ever since they were implemented.
The unification of weights and measures, the unification of currency, and the use of the same currency made many people uncomfortable. It also caused the property of those who had a large amount of other currencies to plummet.
Shutong Wen even caused a wave of complaints.
After all, in this era, learning texts was not something that ordinary people could afford. Many people were able to read and write because of the support of their entire family or even their entire family.
However, Shu Tong Wen had made all their efforts go up in smoke. Whether they could learn it or not was another matter. Whether they had the money to start learning again, and whether there was anyone to teach Qin Xiaozhuan, were the bigger problems!
How many people had their futures cut off by this decree!
But this restaurant owner thought that this policy was enough for Qin Shihuang to be the ruler of the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors?
"Why did the shop owner say that?" Old Zhao hurriedly asked.”
Chu Han said," Using the same train will unify the roads in the entire country and reduce the geographical problems between the six countries. It can ensure that one car can travel all over the world and promote the integration and communication of all parts of the country. It can also allow the army to rush to any part of the country at a faster speed and strengthen the control of the imperial court over the local areas.”
"Writing in the same language not only allows His Majesty's edict to be completely and accurately conveyed throughout the country, but it also sets the foundation for the people of the country to communicate through letters regardless of their homeland.”
" It's even more important to be in the same family. China is a country of etiquette, and every country and region has its own customs. Only by unifying the country's food, clothing, housing, transportation, customs, and beliefs can the people of the country forget their former home country and completely integrate with it.”
Chu Han knocked on the table and stretched out five fingers."These five policies can be said to be the foundation of national integration and national unity! Only by implementing these five policies would they be able to completely remove the influence of the Warring States Period and make everyone forget about their homeland. They would completely fuse under Great Qin's banner and work hard to build a prosperous and beautiful homeland!”
As Chu Han spoke, Old Zhao's breathing became more rapid. His entire person emitted a faint aura. He looked at Chu Han as if he was looking at a confidant.
The more Chu Han spoke, the more excited he became. He took another sip of wine and said loudly,"Even if the Qin Dynasty falls in the future, as long as these five policies are implemented, Your Majesty will definitely be recognized by future generations as worthy of the title of emperor!”
The atmosphere instantly froze.
"Will the Qin Dynasty perish in the future?" Old Zhao asked faintly. The innkeeper's surname was Chu. Could it be one of the three households in Chu that would destroy Qin?”
