Chapter 638 This must be the advice of the ancestors of the Qin Dynasty! Use non-dispute as a big fi
Ying Chengjiao stood up, stood in front of Ying Zheng, and bowed his hands and called: "Your Highness, I am the son of Chang'an Jun, Chengjiao, and I will give you a title!"
Ying Zheng's eyes were mixed with pride and guilt, and he spoke in a deep voice:
"The prime minister of our Great Qin State stole our Great Qin's secret plan to go to Chu and become the king, which is a thief!"
"Chu also raised troops to invade Qi for no reason, which is a tyrant!"
"Chang'an Jun led the generals of the two countries to conquer the rude with courtesy! Conquer the traitor with righteousness!"
"Destroy Chu and return!"
"Due to his merits, Zhufang County (now around Zhenjiang) is specially added as the fief of the son of Chang'an Jun, Chengjiao!"
A whisper suddenly broke out under the steps of the Qilin Hall.
"Zhufang County? My family belongs to Zhufang! But I have to say that it is a bit unfair to confer the title of Zhufang on the commander-in-chief!"
"Is this unfair? Zhufang County is far inferior to Lantian County and Daliang County. Does the king think that our military achievements in this battle are not as good as those in the previous ones?!"
"I heard that other princes and dukes were given fiefs in neighboring areas, but why did our commander-in-chief's fiefdom go directly to the Yangtze River!"
"It is rumored that the commander-in-chief and the King of Qin are close, why is the King of Qin so harsh on the commander-in-chief!"
Zhufang County is by no means a barren place.
But Zhufang County is located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and east of the Hangou Canal. At present, when the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal has not yet been dug and sea transportation is not developed, most of the Yangtze River fleet and Huaihe River fleet will be supplied and transported in Guangling (now Yangzhou) north of the Yangtze River and northwest of Zhufang County.
Only caravans that set out from the south of the Yangtze River and want to trade with Qi and Yan in the north will pass through Zhufang County.
This means that although Zhufang County is not poor, it is far inferior to Lantian County, Daliang County and other water transport towns!
More importantly, it is far away!
Zhufang County is located in the southeast corner of the world, while Chang'an Township is located in the northwest corner of the world. The straight-line distance between the two is more than 2,000 miles!
If land transportation is used, the food tax paid by Zhufang County every year is not enough for the corvées to eat in Chang'an Township!
How can this not be harsh? !
However, Mi Chen suddenly widened his eyes, and then sighed bitterly: "Your Majesty, why do you have to do this!!!"
Wei Zhuang also looked at Wei Liao in shock: "Is this a remonstrance from the national commander?"
Wei Liao shook his head stiffly: "What I am advising is to add Du County to the fief of Chang'an Jun, so that Chang'an Township and Lantian County can be connected through Du County, and let Chang'an Jun do whatever he wants."
"During the court meeting, the king also agreed to my advice."
"I never thought that now that the king has announced it to the world, he has changed his mind!"
Wei Liao was very attentive in rewarding Ying Chengjiao.
Families who often raise dogs know that as long as the lawn at home is large enough, the dog will not have the energy to destroy the house or run out all day long.
So Wei Liao sincerely hopes that the court can prepare a space for Ying Chengjiao to indulge in fun and exhaust Ying Chengjiao's energy.
But Wei Liao never expected that Ying Chengjiao's unconventional nature would affect Ying Zheng!
Wei Zhuang frowned: "If that's the case, then I think it's the result of the king's discussion with Chang'an Jun."
"The young and strong people in the Chu people's families have been killed by Chang'an Jun to the point of almost breaking down. I really don't know why Chang'an Jun is still so vigilant against the people of Chu!"
Unlike the grassroots soldiers who only consider money, Zhufang County has a different status in the eyes of the Qin officials.
Zhufang County is indeed not as rich as Daliang City, Guangling City and other places.
But as one of the former capitals of Wu, Zhufang County's strategic position in Wu is far from that of ordinary cities.
Even if Wu Yue is completely occupied, as long as Zhufang City is in hand, Qin can continue to transport troops to Wu through the Han Canal, and then use the Yangtze River system to stare at Wu!
At that time, Zhufang City was the bridgehead for Qin to regain Wu!
Now, this strategic town has been acquired by Ying Chengjiao.
As a feudal lord, it is natural for Ying Chengjiao to go to Zhufang County for a stroll.
But if Ying Chengjiao really goes to Zhufang County for a stroll, can the people of Chu still sleep peacefully? !
But is it necessary?
The people of Chu are already so miserable that even Wei Zhuang feels a little pitiful.
Is it necessary for Ying Chengjiao to sacrifice a piece of fiefdom to further intimidate the people of Chu!
Wei Zhuang does not remember any deep hatred between Ying Chengjiao and the people of Chu, and the Queen Mother Huayang is Ying Chengjiao's grandmother after all!
Ying Le suddenly said: "Could it be that this is the advice of the previous kings of my Great Qin?"
Wei Zhuang, Wei Liao and other court officials could not find any other reason except this, and they all nodded slowly: "That makes sense!"
As they spoke, all the officials could not help but increase their vigilance against Chu.
Things that the previous kings of the Qin Dynasty have deliberately reminded us of must not be neglected!
The ministers and generals had different thoughts, but Ying Chengjiao bowed his hands loudly:
"Minister, thank you, the king!"
Ying Zheng took the initiative to step forward, sighed softly, and whispered: "I'm sorry for you."
Granting Zhufang City to Ying Chengjiao is indeed beneficial to the Qin Dynasty's rule over Wu, but it greatly damages Ying Chengjiao's interests.
Ying Zheng felt ashamed!
Ying Chengjiao smiled casually: "I really want it, but I dare not ask for it!"
"Besides, Zhufang County has its own advantages. They are all the territory of our Qin Dynasty. Why do you favor one over the other?"
Ying Chengjiao had already discussed with Mrs. Han how to deal with these fiefs in the future.
Not to mention granting Zhufang County as a fief, even if Fuchun County, the southeastern corner of the world, was granted to Ying Chengjiao, Ying Chengjiao would not have the slightest fluctuation in his heart!
Ying Zheng smiled happily: "Shan! You are worthy of being the younger brother of the king!"
"I will wait for my brother Wang to revitalize Zhufang County and take Zhufang County under his own control!"
Ying Chengyu:...
No, my attitude is obviously ready to show off.
Why do you still want me to revitalize Zhufang County? ! !
Ying Zheng didn't know what was going on in Ying Chengxuan's heart, so he just raised the wine cup again and shouted loudly: "My dear friends, drink to win!"
The ministers and generals immediately suppressed the noise, raised their heads in unison, and shouted:
"Drink to win!!!"
——
Although knowing his existence can make the soldiers feel more respected, it can also make them unable to let go of their posture.
So after staying at the banquet for half an hour, Ying Zheng took the three gongs and nine ministers and generals to leave the banquet first.
After the monarchs and ministers who stood at the top of the Great Qin Dynasty left the table, the atmosphere in the square in front of the Qilin Hall was obviously a little more cheerful.
But the atmosphere in the Imperial Study Room was quite serious.
Wei Liao stood in front of the map of Kun, with a wooden stick in his hand outlining the territory of the Qin Dynasty. His voice trembled slightly: "To Fuchang in the north, to Wuhan in the northwest, to Laishan in the southwest, to Linwu in the south, to Fuchun in the southeast, and to Fuchun in the northeast. Tancheng.”
"In just five years!"
"In just five short years, the city that our Great Qin holds has doubled and doubled again!"
"The newly attached land now occupies most of the territory of our Great Qin!"
"Your Majesty, please slow down!"
"Da Qin really can't control it anymore!"
Ying Chengyu sat next to Ying Zheng, harmless and innocent, honest, obedient and simple.
It seemed as if what Wei Liao said had nothing to do with Ying Chengyu.
That's called an innocent!
Ying Zheng did not blame Ying Chengyu, but looked at Chang Yun: "The first territory I opened after ascending the throne was Yingchuan County."
"Weiwei Chang has been serving as the governor of Yingchuan County for nearly four years. He should talk to all the ministers about Yingchuan affairs."
Chang Yun stood up, bowed his hands and said, "I would like to inform you, Your Majesty, that on March 10, the ninth year of the Qin Dynasty, the "New District Provisional Law" was officially implemented in Yingchuan County."
"Today, the "New District Interim Law" has been in effect for four and a half years. Since March 10 this year, Yingchuan officials have begun to promulgate the "Qin Law" and, in accordance with the court's decision, gradually reduced the penalties and gradually reduced the penalties. "Qin Law" governs the people."
"According to my observation, since Yingchuan returned to Qin, except for an assassination caused by the remnants of the old Korean royal family, the entire territory of Yingchuan has been quite stable."
"In more than four years, more than 3,000 people have passed the legal examination in Yingchuan County, and more than a thousand of them are from ordinary farm families. Although they still cannot fill the Yingchuan County official office, they can solve the urgent shortage of officials in Yingchuan County."
"Since March 10 this year, the number of prisoners in Yingchuan County has increased by about 25% compared to last year. However, most of them are powerful and wealthy families, and the number of Guizhou leaders who have violated the law has actually decreased a lot."
"The people of Yingchuan County..."
Chang Yun reported on the current situation of Yingchuan County from multiple angles. The more Ying Chengyu listened, the brighter his eyes became, and he finally let out a long sigh.
"New District Provisional Law" is the first national policy advice that Ying Chengyu has given in his life.
In order to implement this national policy, Ying Chengyu and Lu Buwei, two rivals who wanted to kill each other, worked together for the first time, and even resolved many conflicts in the past.
Now, the five-year period has not yet come, but the "New District Interim Law" has handed in an answer that is enough to satisfy Ying Chengyu!
Ying Chengyu, who had been hanging on his heart for several years, could finally put it back in his stomach.
Ying Zheng couldn't help but smile: "When Lord Chang'an came to remonstrate with me, I thought there was something wrong. I even thought that this policy would delay the time for the newly annexed land to be transferred to Qin, causing many conflicts."
"But I never thought that this law would have such a miraculous effect!"
"Use no dispute to fight, and use two systems to seek unification!"
"Mr. Chang'an is a great talent!"
Ying Chengyu was so proud that he even wanted to put his hands on his hips.
Ying Chengyu also proudly crossed his arms!
However, Wei Liao poured cold water on it mercilessly: "The five-year period has not yet come, and it is still inconclusive whether the "New District Interim Law" is a good policy."
"And the reason why the "New District Interim Law" can be implemented smoothly in Yingchuan County is not entirely due to the "New District Interim Law", but also because of the assassination mentioned by Chang Weiwei!"
"It is precisely because of the assassination of Mr. Chang'an of the Great Qin Dynasty by Master Gu Han that almost all the people who wanted to be disturbed in Gu Han were killed, and those who had the ability to cause trouble and those who violated the law were also killed. Yingchuan County Sheriff killed more than half of them!"
"Is it possible that in every newly-attached land, more than half of the people who are disturbed and capable of causing disturbance will be killed for similar reasons?"
"of course not!"
"Therefore, I believe that the "New Area Interim Law" is indeed effective and meaningful for the management of the newly attached area, and it should continue to be implemented."
"But I, Da Qin, must not mistakenly think that the "New District Provisional Law" alone can govern the newly attached land!"
Ying Chengyu looked at Wei Liao and asked sincerely, "Why not?"
Wei Liao was slightly startled, as if he was wondering why Ying Chengyu couldn't understand his words, but he still patiently explained: "The reason why the "New District Interim Law" has achieved excellent results in Yingchuan County is because of the turmoil and the More than half of those with turbulent abilities were killed."
"But in a place where more than half of the people who are motivated and capable of causing trouble have not been killed, the "New District Provisional Law" will only indulge these traitors and give them the opportunity to cause trouble in the place!"
Ying Chengyu shook his head: "No, no, no, the captain has misunderstood me."
Ying Chengyu asked again with a sincere face: "I would like to ask, why can't our Great Qin kill more than half of the people in every newly-attached land who are motivated and capable of causing chaos for various reasons?"
"It's easy!"
Wei Liao: o(Д)っ!
