"I will remember your wise advice."
Fu Su stood up and solemnly toasted Master Yin.
The old and the young began to drink.
In the underground palace.
The First Emperor, Ying Zheng, had also memorized the details of Yin Shang's migration.
Ying Zheng's attitude towards those who had made great contributions to the Great Qin Empire had always been to reward them generously!
For example, the two marquises of the Junwu family!
Among them, Wucheng Marquis Wang Jian has 100,000 households!
One must know!
According to Shang Yang's rank 20 military merit system, the highest rank was Marquis Che, which was only ten thousand households.
On the other hand, Ying Zheng gave Wang Jian the highest honor, which was…ten times the reward!
Of course!
Great Qin's number one general, Wang Jian, had destroyed Zhao and Pingchu. The two toughest battles had been fought by Wang Jian, so no matter how great the reward was, this old general could bear it.
However, if one were to compare the endings of the meritorious officials in the later dynasties, one would find that…
Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, had basically suppressed all the vassal kings, including Han Xin, the immortal soldier, who had died in the palace ambush arranged by Empress Lu.
Zhao Kuangyin of the Song Dynasty had just ascended the throne when he gave up his military power.
There was no need to talk about the Ming Dynasty's great ancestor, Zhu Yuanzhang. He killed so many people that their heads rolled off. He massacred thousands of meritorious families. The Huaixi dignitaries were basically dealt with.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang also had his own difficulties. Crown Prince Zhu Biao died too early... There was no other way. In the later stages of the country, Zhu Yuanzhang could only choose to kill.
But no matter what.
In any case, the First Emperor, Ying Zheng, had always given preferential treatment to the founding heroes of the Great Qin Empire.
Similarly, Wang Jian was also a general with extremely high political awareness.
For example, when Wang Jian attacked Chu, he led 600,000 troops to confront Xiang Yan, but he did not fight…
In the end, Lord Chu could not withstand the pressure from the court and began to urge Xiang Yan to attack!
However, in a large army battle, whoever was the first to lose stability would easily fall into a disadvantage.
It was the same logic.
At that time, in the court of the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, there were actually many officials who bluntly impeached Wang Jian for supporting the army and respecting himself.
Naturally, Ying Zheng was able to withstand the pressure of the courtiers 'advice.
Even Wang Jian, who was standing in front of the battle, was very good at cooperating with others. Every half a month, Old Wang would ask Ying Zheng for some gold, beauties, and other rewards.
When some of the officials saw this, they immediately began to talk about Wang Jian's style of work, thus reducing the impeachment of Wang Jian's self-respect to a certain extent.
After all, the Chu Country had not even been conquered. As a general on the front line, he was already constantly asking for rewards. It was really a little something.
It was also because of Wang Jian's continuous self-tarnishing of his reputation that he was expressing his loyalty to Ying Zheng at all times. It meant that Old Wang only wanted to be a veteran general on the battlefield, and that he had no second thoughts.
This was the tacit understanding between the ruler and his subjects.
You offer loyalty and honor!
I'll reward you for your achievements!
The monarch and his subjects worked together!
That was why Great Qin had unified the Nine Provinces.
Therefore, he had no choice.
The First Emperor, Ying Zheng, had a strong reliance and trust in the military and noble factions.
As for the scholar-officials of the Central Plains, Ying Zheng also had the same instinctive resistance.
After all, the officials of the Central Plains had once been Great Qin's enemies.
The nobles and military officers in Guanzhong were Ying Zheng's right-hand men, civil officials and generals!
This way…
Ying Zheng instinctively felt that Yin Shang's suggestion to let the scholars of Maoling become officials in the imperial court was a little inappropriate.
In Ying Zheng's mind, those who could share the world with him were either his own people in Guanzhong, or military generals with outstanding military achievements, or capable officials like Li Si who had unified the Great Qin Dynasty.
As for the scholar-officials of the Central Plains…
In his heart, Ying Zheng still wanted to suppress, divide, and even nibble away!
However, when Yin Shang explained the rules of the honest and dirty officials.
Ying Zheng's thoughts quickly changed.
As an emperor of the ages, he understood that Duke Yin's decision was extremely rational and correct.
The current Great Qin Empire ruled the four seas and eight wastelands!
He was no longer the King of Qin in Guanzhong!
He was the emperor of the Nine States!
He was Tian Zi!
In that case.
Ying Zheng had to restrict the thoughts of the past Qin Kings and carry out a leap in innovation.
The Great Qin Empire wanted to rule the Central Plains for a long time and stabilize the world.
They had to recruit the capable people from the Central Plains. Only then would Great Qin's County system be able to better govern the 36 counties!
The rules of honest officials and corrupt officials were just enough to act as a lubricant between the Maoling scholars and the various factions of the original Great Qin Dynasty Hall.
Ying Zheng understood…
In fact, this was using political interests to forcefully bind Guanzhong and the Central Plains together.
Later on, he would use the Maoling system to increase economic consumption.
This would allow the trade to deepen the connection between Guanzhong and the Central Plains.
In this way.
Only then would the foundation of unifying the world be stable.
If he only relied on military and legal coercion to rule all parts of the Central Plains…it was definitely far from enough.
In the past, the First Emperor Ying Zheng had neglected this point.
"Duke Yin's words have once again established the foundation of Great Qin!”
Ying Zheng sighed softly.
Military, legal, political, economic…and the original Ying Qin!
Five-pronged attack!
This was the path of unification!
