September 13th was the day of bloodshed recorded in the history of West Asia and Asia Minor. Perhaps it was more appropriate to call it the Day of Suffering.
Because on this day, Ying Fei's subordinates, the West Military Hall, started a massacre.
From Babylon to Cecil, not a single city was innocent.
The Greek nobles who were unwilling to submit to Great Qin were all exterminated.
Blood dyed the ground red, and countless souls floated in the sky above West Earth. In the end, only the fluttering Black Dragon Flag was left.
Liu Bowen's mansion in Babylon City.
Fang Xuanling was still immersed in what Liu Bowen had told him. He didn't expect Ying Fei, who was only twenty-four years old, to have so many stories.
In the distance, the seemingly beautiful Great Qin of the East hid countless dirty and threatening things.
The remnants of the six states, the Ying Qin family, the Hundred Schools of Thought, all of them had obstructed Ying Fei's path.
The mighty Yong Jun, the son of the emperor, was finally forced to flee to the Western Regions.
"Xuanling, Your Highness has had a bumpy journey and will definitely treat his enemies as his enemies.”
Liu Bowen suddenly said.
At this moment, the sky was just beginning to brighten. The morning of September was a little hot, but Fang Xuanling's heart was as cold as winter.
At the same time.
In the palace of Babylon.
Ying Fei looked at the memorial submitted by the West Military Hall.
His expression was normal.
"Since Fang Xuanling and the others can't sit still, then call them over.”
"After the chaos, there will definitely be great peace. That's good too. Let them listen to my words of planning for the country.”
Ying Fei's eyes shone brightly.
The civil officials under his command were all famous officials in history materialized by the system, and each of them had extraordinary abilities.
They were not inferior to Qin Shihuang's group at all.
The only downside was that these civil officials had too many ideas and were always prone to going astray.
As the helmsman of an empire, he had the responsibility to steer the ship in the direction it was supposed to sail.
"Yes!"
The attendant at the side quickly accepted the order.
Soon after.
A dozen Yong Jun attendants walked out of the palace and went to different places in the city.
Liu Bowen, Du Ruhui, Bao Zheng, Kou Zhun, Xun Yu, Gu Yong, Fa Zheng, Yuwen Kai, Zhangsun Sheng, and the other civil officials all received the imperial edict.
"Brother Bowen, this…"
Fang Xuanling looked at the imperial edict in his hand with some doubt.
Liu Bowen took a sip of tea and smiled.""Our Lord is not only talented and resourceful, but also has a fierce tiger in his heart that sniffs the rose.”
"Xuanling, I'm afraid His Highness already has a solution to your worries.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
He took the lead and walked out of the mansion, boarding the carriage.
Although Fang Xuanling still didn't understand, he still followed Liu Bowen into the carriage and headed to the palace.
......
Fifteen minutes later.
In the palace of Babylon.
The civil officials gathered in the hall looked at each other, staring at each other.
"Your Highness has arrived!"
At this moment, a sharp shout was heard.
Soon after, a handsome and tall figure walked in from outside the hall. He was dressed in a black royal robe. Who else could it be but Ying Fei?
"Everyone, don't just stand there. Take your seats first.”
"I called you here today mainly to discuss how to govern West Earth.”
Ying Fei waved his hand and sat down on the main seat.
Liu Bowen, Fang Xuanling, and the others took their seats.
The Great Qin Dynasty followed the Zhou Dynasty's rites and did not have the extremely strict etiquette of the later generations. The officials and the ruler were in a superior and subordinate relationship, not a servant and master.
Therefore, no matter if it was civil officials or generals, they did not need to kowtow and bow. Naturally, there was no precedent for standing in the meeting.
"What?"
"Your Highness, do you mean to set a national policy?”
"Our army already has 15 million people and hundreds of thousands of soldiers.”
Hearing this.
The civil officials present began to discuss.
Everyone was supportive.
Lord Yong's subordinates were of the same lineage as Great Qin, but the two were still different.
The West Earth was different from the East Earth. The East Earth had been unified for decades, but there were still the remnants of the six countries who had wild ambitions.
As for West Earth, West Asia had just been unified, and there were scattered soldiers everywhere. If they were not well governed, it would cause a chain reaction.
This wasn't just Fang Xuanling's worry, it was the worry of everyone present.
"Your Highness, I have a suggestion."
Fa Zheng was the first to speak.
"There's no need to stick to etiquette for today's discussion.”
Ying Fei looked at everyone and spoke solemnly.
"Yes!"
The civil officials responded in unison.
"Your Highness, my fellow colleagues."
"The Great Qin Empire started from a small country in the west and unified the world by relying on the laws of the Shang Emperor.”
"Thus, I believe that we should implement Lord Shang's laws as the foundation for us to govern West Earth.”
"Those who have no military merits cannot be conferred titles, and those who have titles can be conferred official positions and establish the foundation for farming and fighting.”
"The entire country has entered the country war system, and everything has to give way to the army.”
"Cai!"
Fa Zheng's words caused all the civil officials in the hall to exclaim in admiration.
Ying Fei also nodded in satisfaction.
Fa Zheng was indeed the creator of Shu Han, seeing the key to West Earth at a glance.
In a foreign country, if one wanted to gain a foothold, they could only share the benefits with the people and become one with the people.
At this time, Shang Yang's cultivation method was indeed the best choice.
As long as you join the army and establish military merits, you will be able to obtain land, houses, servants, gold and silver. Why not?
"Your Highness, I believe that the method of farming and fighting is not enough to govern West Earth.”
"West Earth is a land of hundreds of battles, and the people have suffered from war for a long time.”
"Therefore, we should clean up the government, build roads and canals, and give the people land.”
"The government will distribute grain and provide farming equipment to restore the people's strength and rebuild the country.”
"After West Earth stabilizes and the rations are harvested, we can start a new army and send our troops out of Central Asia to wipe out Great Xia, Kangju, and other countries in one fell swoop, completely opening up the East-West passage!”
Fang Xuanling proposed a strategy that was completely different from Fa Zheng's.
Instantly, the entire place fell silent.
Everyone was pondering whether Fa Zheng's plan or Fang Xuanling's plan was better.
Du Ruhui, Xun Yu, and Gu Yong supported Fang Xuanling's reform with the people, while Xu Shu, Gao Wei, and Zhangsun Sheng supported Fa Zheng's national farming war.
The remaining Liu Bowen, Bao Zheng, Jin Ri Mo, Yuwen Kai, and the others did not express their opinions.
For a time, two distinct factions appeared in the court.
Ying Fei, who was sitting on the seat of honor, smiled when he saw this scene.
A country could not have only one voice. A pool of stagnant water could not shape an empire.
The only way to reach the peak was to let a hundred flowers bloom and seek common ground while reserving differences.
