Chapter 55 Epang Palace * Ask for a monthly pass]
"Xia Afang?" Wu Chenzi and Zhang Han were both stunned.
Wu Chenzi thought that the later public account said that Qin Shihuang built the Afang Palace for the sake of Afang Girl. He always thought that Xia Afang was a gossip, but now it seems that it is true. Of course, the construction of Afang Palace was definitely not for Afang Girl.
However, Zhang Han thought of the past of the young master of the Mo Sect that he had checked. Mo Xue had lived in Handan for a while, and Mo Xue was called Xia Afang at that time.
"Do you know?" Wu Chenzi and Ying Zheng both looked at Zhang Han. As one of the leaders of the two major intelligence agencies of Qin, did Zhang Han have news about Xia Afang?
"It was told by the National Master!" Zhang Han looked at Wu Chenzi and said.
He really understood now that Wu Chenzi just wanted to kill him. Even though he knew that the young master of the Mo Sect liked King Qin, he asked him to flirt with Mo Xue. He was simply fighting with the king for a woman, and he was also the woman of the king's young man Mu Ai.
"You don't want to tell me that Xia Afang is Mo Xue, right?" Wu Chenzi asked in disbelief as he looked at Zhang Han.
One is a woman who collects herbs outside Handan City, and the other is a young master of the Mo family's Mo Sect, who can't connect them together.
"I will check the origin of the young master of the Mo Sect. She suddenly appeared in the Mo Sect ten years ago and has been living in Handan before." Zhang Han said.
"Ten years ago?" Wu Chenzi frowned. Wasn't that the time when Ying Zheng returned to Xianyang? These two people were really a decisive marriage.
"Do you know that before my sister was ten years old, she didn't know that she was the young master of Mo Sect. Until my tenth birthday, the elder found me and took me back to the Mo Sect, telling me that I was the young master of Mo Sect and that I would inherit the position of Mo Sect in the future." Mo Xue hugged Xiao Fusu and said with a smile.
Lu Buwei looked at Mo Xue, are you a devil? I have never been so disgusted by others in my life! I have worked hard for my whole life to become the prime minister of Qin, and even made "Lüshi Chunqiu" that was barely favored by the aristocratic people.
Now tell me that one day an old man suddenly appeared and told you that you will be the leader of the Mo Sect in the future and will live to an end that others will never reach in their entire lives.
"Who are you talking about the young master of Mo Sect?" Ying Zheng looked at Zhang Han and Wu Chenzi, both nervous and looking forward to it.
"It is Mo Xue, the young master of the Mo Sect who has presented papermaking to the king!" Zhang Han answered.
"It's the young master of the Mo Sect who refuses to see me?" Ying Zheng was stunned.
When Mo Xue offered papermaking, she was received by an exception, but Mo Xue refused, saying that there was something important to do, but she refused to see her.
"That's right!" Zhang Han nodded.
"It's so hard to deal with good things!" Wu Chenzi sighed.
He knew that the King of Qin that Mo Xue liked, so he created a chance for Mo Xue to meet the King of Qin. Who knew that this willful girl actually refused to receive the King of Qin.
"Have you ever thought about how to resettle refugees who appear after war and disaster?" Wu Chenzi asked again.
Ying Zheng frowned and let his children go aside. He had few chances to meet Wu Chenzi, but every time Wu Chenzi offered his national policies to him.
"Li Si, Meng Yi!" Ying Zheng shouted.
"Meng Yi?" Wu Chenzi was a little surprised. He had heard of Meng Wu's two sons, Wen and Wu, and Meng Yi was also appreciated by Ying Zheng for the King of Kings, but he had never seen Meng Tian and Meng Yi.
"I'm here!" Li Si and Meng Yi hurriedly trotted in from outside the door.
Wu Chenzi then looked at the burly young man beside Li Si. If he hadn't known in advance that Meng Yi was a scholar, he would have thought he would be a general. The Meng family's genes were indeed powerful.
Meng Yi also looked at Wu Chenzi, full of curiosity. This national teacher, who was highly praised by his father, is also an idol worshipped by all the young men of the Qin State, and he is naturally no exception.
"The National Normal University asked how to deal with refugees caused by war and disasters. What suggestions do you have?" Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and Meng Yi and asked.
Li Si and Meng Yi were both silent for a long time, but did not make any comments.
"According to Qin's laws, the government shall not provide food to the people in any form. Even if it is a major disaster or war, it requires the people to support themselves. The government only provides food and grain seeds to the people." Li Si said.
The laws formulated by Shangjun were extremely strict. Even if it was natural disasters and man-made disasters, the government would not provide food relief to the people, but would only provide seeds and production tools. This was also because during the reign of Xiaogong, the treasury was empty and the government agencies in various places did not have enough food reserves.
Li Si and Han Fei also thought about revising this law, but in the end they chose not to change it, because people's laziness allowed them to know the impact of this law once they were revised.
Wu Chenzi nodded. This law has never been changed. It is not that the government cannot produce the food, but that it will lead to a disaster. Everyone will sit and wait for the government to come for relief, rather than thinking about overcoming natural disasters.
What the government office needs to do is to lead the people to overcome natural disasters on their own, carry out self-rescue and post-disaster reconstruction.
"The unification of the world is already a foregone conclusion. Have you ever thought about building a magnificent Qin Palace?" Wu Chenzi asked at Ying Zheng.
"I never thought of doing such a waste of money and money! Especially in the year of a major disaster!" Ying Zheng shook his head and said.
His annual trip to Guanzhong made him realize the sufferings of people's livelihood, so in such a major disaster year, people are even more reluctant to build a large-scale project.
Wu Chenzi shook his head and said, "The king must build it, because Qin needs such a magnificent Qin Palace!"
"Why?" Ying Zheng, Li Si and Meng Yi looked at Wu Chenzi in confusion.
If Wu Chenzi was not the master of the Qin Dynasty, they would have regarded Wu Chenzi as a slander and a traitor who bewitched the king's enemy country. In the year of great disaster, they would build a large-scale construction of the Qin Palace. If they say this, they would probably be scolded by the people in the world.
"The Qin Dynasty destroyed the bloodline of the Zhou Dynasty, and there was no common ruler in the world. The entire Central Plains was in a state of unmanagement. Why did the six countries jointly attack Qin many times? Isn't it because Qin has the strength to destroy a country and is qualified to win that position?" Wu Chenzi looked at Ying Zheng and said.
Ying Zheng, Li Si and Meng Yi all nodded. The situation of unification of the world has already emerged. Now Qin is the most qualified country to become the common ruler of the world.
"So Qin needs such an imperial palace to declare its status and tell the world!" Wu Chenzi continued.
The Han Dynasty built the Weiyang Palace and Changle Weiyang, which declared the sovereignty of the emperor. The Tang Dynasty built the Daming Palace, and the Ming Dynasty also built the two Forbidden City in Nanjing and Beijing, which declared the rights of the emperor. This imperial palace is also the highest right in the world.
The same is true for the Afang Palace built by Qin Shihuang. However, the Afang Palace was not successfully built, and the Qin Dynasty declared its end.
"This is one of them!" Wu Chenzi said. In addition to demonstrating status and identity, the most important thing is to build such an imperial palace, which requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and this will also create a large number of jobs.
"Secondly, Xiao He has returned to Xianyang. He has run the business of using labor for relief. Building such an imperial palace can provide a large number of jobs for refugees, which is much easier to use than recruiting civilians!" Wu Chenzi continued.
Many major projects in history were never built in wealthy years. The Hoover Dam, Naspibe Reservoir and Roosevelt Dam in the beautiful country were all built during the Great Depression.
Passively building these large-scale projects will only cost the people and will easily cause dissatisfaction and resistance from the people. However, if you can have a meal to live in the year of a major disaster, everyone will be 100% motivated to do things. Therefore, this natural disaster is not a bad thing for Qin. Instead, it can build Qin Zhidao and Afang Palace.
Moreover, such practices will not be criticized by the world. As a capitalist, Qin can also take this opportunity to unify the weights and measures of currency, and can also be recognized by the people of Zhao, Wei and Han.
"I said, you guys do it!" Wu Chenzi said, carefully talking about the various methods of labor-for-relief, and also roughly talking about the unity of currency and the unity of weights and measures.
"I always feel that someone is going to plot against me again!" Xiao He, who was far away in Xianyang, frowned and said to Han Fei.
"Coincidentally, Brother Xiao, I feel the same way!" Han Fei looked at Xiao He and said.
"Wuchenzi!" Xiao He and Han Fei looked at each other. Only Wuchenzi could make them feel this way at the same time.
"I have returned to Xianyang, can't I let me go?" Xiao He looked at the sky and always felt that his leisurely retirement life had been in a few days.
"The King's Order, please prepare all officials in Xianyang to accept 700,000 refugees to build the Afang Palace!" Jin Lingjian's special envoy looked at Xiao He and Han Fei and said.
Now that the entire Xianyang is gone, Li Si and Meng Yi are gone, and the biggest officials are Wei Liaozi, Xiao He and Han Fei.
"You are so lucky!" Han Fei said to Xiao He.
"???" Xiao He asked, "You call receiving 700,000 refugees good luck? What do you think is easy to place these 700,000 refugees?"
"Your previous term has always been asked to ask for people, so it is the first time I have sent people like this!" Han Fei said with a smile. At that time, Wu Chenzi asked for people in various ways, and Chen Ping came to their Tingwei Mansion to snatch people every day, which also made Chen Ping a fearful existence in Xianyang.
"Seven hundred thousand refugees!" Xiao He's head is getting bigger. Shouldn't all the things in the war and refugees be in charge of Chen Ping of Zhao State?
"It's either a disciple or an outsider, just play with me like this!" Xiao He touched his hairline that was moving upwards. It was Chen Ping's business to place refugees, but in order to reduce the pressure on his students, he sent refugees to Xianyang and asked him to deal with them. Isn't this killing him?
One of the 700,000 refugees could not handle it well. If a riot occurred, he would not have died for a few lives. And if nothing unexpected happened, these refugees would not be refugees from Qin but war refugees from Zhao, Wei and Han.
"Look at it, these 700,000 will only be the first batch!" Xiao He said to Han Fei. With his understanding of Wu Chenzi, 700,000 is just an appetizer, and the real horror is still behind.
"Brother Xiao is very good at helping him!" Han Fei didn't know how to comfort Xiao He, and he would not be able to easily place refugees in the placement of refugees.
"There are no 700,000 people in Xianyang, how can I resettle it?" Xiao He looked at Han Fei. The entire city of the Seven Kingdoms, except Linzi and Handan, had a population of more than one million, and the other capitals were only more than half a million.
Xianyang is about to approach one million, and it suddenly floods into 700,000 people. It makes people feel numb when thinking about it.
"What is this Afang Palace more than this? It actually requires 700,000 people to build it!" Han Fei looked at Xiao He and said.
Xiao He also shook his head. He didn't know what this Afang Palace was, and he had never heard of it before.
"The Qin Palace in Xianyang was built by Duke Xiao. At that time, Duke Xiao was just a duke, not a title, so the construction standard of the Qin Palace was actually built with the standards of Duke and Majesty. Now Qin has destroyed the Zhou Dynasty and has no master in the world, so this Afang Palace should actually be called Qin Emperor Palace!" said Zi Nu.
"Imperial Palace!" Xiao He and Han Fei looked at each other in shock. They should have thought of it long ago that Qin has destroyed Han, Zhao is already on the way, and Wei is not far away. Qin, which occupied the land of the Three Jins, is indeed qualified to win the throne. Building such an imperial palace is also to declare its status as the common ruler of the world.
"The establishment of the Qin Palace is indeed not suitable for the Qin State today!" Han Fei sighed and said, "The Han Palace has always been the King of Han, so the Han Palace is one standard higher than the Qin Palace.
When they saw the Qin Palace before, they were thinking that with the national strength of Qin, it was not impossible to upgrade the system, but Qin did not do it. Now they finally know that Qin is going to build the imperial palace in one step.
Wu Chenzi looked at Li Si and Meng Yi who were writing quickly and nodded with satisfaction. The construction of Afang Palace and Qin Zhidao was a big project, which required the cooperation of farmers, Mohists, Gongshuists and various officials and yamen in Qin State. The manpower was also increased by millions. He could only propose a simple concept, and the specific details needed to be improved by these people.
"That's probably all. After returning to Xianyang, you must be prepared. I will complete the destruction of Wei within three months. You will start the execution at that time!" Wu Chenzi said.
"Destroy Wei in March?" Ying Zheng, Li Si and Meng Yi were both stunned.
Before Zhao State can be completely defeated, will it continue to launch troops against Wei State?
"Teacher, is this too anxious?" Ying Zheng said hesitantly.
"Sir, according to the information of the Ying Sewei and Luowang, Qi has also begun to rectify its military equipment over the years. Wei State is different from Zhao and Han. If we move Wei State, it will be difficult for Qi State and Chu State to send troops!" Meng Yi said.
Wu Chenzi looked at Meng Yi in surprise. Unexpectedly, Meng Yi was the direct person in charge of Luowang and Yingmiwei in a quiet voice.
"Don't worry about Qi and Chu. Chu State itself has a lot of bad things to deal with. As long as the king and queen are still alive, Qi State will not be able to send troops!" Wu Chenzi said.
Women may have a peaceful life in the country and live and work in peace, but they will also have shortcomings, that is, they lack courage. Whether it is Queen Mother Xuan or the only female emperor, when they are in power, they are doing orderly internally, but they are all messy externally.
"Before the drought comes, the Wei State must be resolved and the land of the Three Jins must be included in the territory of Qin!" Wu Chenzi said seriously.
"What is the teacher going to do?" Ying Zheng asked.
What the teacher wants to do is beneficial to Qin State, and what they have to do is support behind their backs.
"It's time for the Yulin Guard to pull out the blood. I will draw the army of Wang Jian, Yang Duanhe and Meng Wu to go south, cooperate with the White Armored Legion of Nei Shiteng to encircle the Wei State, and fight quickly! At that time, Zhao State will be handed over to Chen Ping, Wang Ben, Li Mu and Yulin Guard!" Wu Chenzi said.
"Transfer the Yulin Guard?" Ying Zheng was stunned. Is the Yulin Guard going to be pulled out in less than a year after its establishment?
