Chapter 14 Solutions to the Qin Dynasty's Hidden Dangers

Could it be that this kid really has a way to resolve the hidden dangers of the Qin Dynasty?

Ying Zheng couldn't help but think.

"how do I say this?"

In fact, the problems that troubled Ying Zheng all had solutions, according to Zhao Yi, a later generation.

Although Ying Zheng was an emperor of all ages, his thoughts were ultimately limited by the times.

As time goes by, human society is also constantly developing.

Especially in modern times with the Internet, the speed and scale of information dissemination have reached unprecedented levels.

Ordinary people can easily access all kinds of information, and thus have experience and knowledge that the ancients did not have.

"In my opinion, as long as the emperor of the Qin Dynasty can be ruthless, there are three ways to solve the hidden dangers of the Qin Dynasty."

"First, let's talk about the worst plan. The hidden dangers of the Qin Dynasty are divided into internal and external threats. The internal threat is that the people of the original six countries may rebel, and the external threat is the foreign enemies such as the Xiongnu and Baiyue."

"In this case, the Emperor of Great Qin only needs to implement strict control to prevent the flow of information from various places. Then send the people of the six countries to attack the foreign enemies. After the two are consumed to a certain extent, Great Qin will naturally not need to maintain so many troops, and the problem of taxation and corvée will also be alleviated."

Ying Zheng would naturally not use such means, because the people of the six countries are now also the people of his Great Qin.

This method is equivalent to exchanging the population of the six countries for the population of the Huns. In the end, the original six countries' areas will be deserted and become uninhabited wilderness.

Zhao Yi continued: "The middle strategy is to relocate the people of the six countries."

Ying Zheng asked in confusion: "What do you mean by relocating the people of the six countries? What is the purpose of this?"

Zhao Yi explained: "The so-called relocation of the people of the six countries means that the people of the original six countries will be relocated to other places as a family unit. The people of Yan will be relocated to the other five countries, and the people of the other five countries will also be relocated to other countries separately. Then a corresponding supervision system will be established."

"The essential purpose is to disperse the people of the six countries to facilitate the rule and management of the Qin Dynasty, in order to prevent the rulers of the six countries from using the original people to launch a rebellion. In this way, the internal troubles of the Qin Dynasty will naturally be solved, and the Qin Dynasty will not need to maintain so many troops."

Ying Zheng thought about it.

I found that the middle strategy Zhao Yi mentioned seemed to be really feasible.

Why haven’t I and all the officials thought of this method?
Obviously, a three-year-old child like Zhao Yi could think of it.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng felt a little ashamed.

Since the middle strategy is like this, what is the best strategy?
Ying Zheng concentrated more carefully and listened to Zhao Yi's best strategy.

"The last is the best strategy. The best strategy is actually very simple. Decentralize education, start the imperial examination to select officials, and let the officials govern in different places."

"Old Zhao, you also know that education is now monopolized by the middle and upper class aristocrats, and most of the lower-class people are not qualified or have the conditions to receive education. This leads to a problem. If the Qin Dynasty wants to maintain its rule, it must have officials to manage various places."

"But the number of officials in Daqin is not enough, because the territory of Daqin is too large. So Daqin inevitably needs to appoint nobles from the six countries as officials to maintain local rule. Because the most basic requirement for being an official is to be literate."

"And this is the root of the internal troubles of the Qin Dynasty, because the Qin Dynasty does not know how many officials of the six countries have rebellious intentions."

What Zhao Yi said is all true.

Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, who later destroyed the Qin Dynasty, were both officials of the Qin Dynasty.

Liu Bang was a small pavilion chief in Sishui County.

Xiang Yu and his uncle Xiang Liang both worked under Yin Tong, the governor of Kuaiji County.

Later, after Chen Sheng and Wu Guang launched the uprising, Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu took the opportunity to kill Yin Tong. Then Xiang Liang appointed himself as the governor of Kuaiji County and launched the uprising in Wuzhong.

Xiang Yu and Xiang Liang were originally nobles of the Chu State and had considerable influence in the local area.

"So as long as the emperor of the Qin Dynasty opens up education and gives the lower classes the opportunity to receive education, and appoints officials through the imperial examination, he can let the lower classes serve as officials, instead of those nobles of the six kingdoms who have ulterior motives."

"Then, officials will be governed in different places, which can eliminate the possibility of official rebellion. Because officials have no power in the local area, all their power comes from the appointment of Daqin. They will naturally maintain Daqin's rule. Once they find any situation, they will report it immediately."

"Then the internal troubles of the Qin Dynasty can be solved."

Hearing this, Ying Zheng couldn't help but shout happily: "Great!" Zhao Yi asked a little puzzled: "Why are you so excited?"

Ying Zheng realized that his reaction was too intense and seemed a little abnormal.

There is no other way, because the best strategy Zhao Yi mentioned can really solve the problem of the remnants of the six kingdoms.

Ying Zheng felt deeply moved.

Among all the civil and military officials in the court, none can see things as clearly as Zhao Yi, and none are as useful as Zhao Yi.

I must recruit Zhao Yi to serve me.

This kid Zhao Yi is as powerful as an army of 500,000.

Do not!
If we add potatoes, paper, cement and other things that can change the Qin Dynasty.

I'm afraid Zhao Yi can match the millions of soldiers of the Qin Dynasty.

He can change the Qin Dynasty!

So Ying Zheng scratched his head and explained: "You speak so well, I admire you in my heart."

Zhao Yi said shyly: "Hey, actually I can only come up with these by standing on the shoulders of giants."

Ying Zheng was very puzzled and asked: "Giant's shoulders?"

Could it be that Zhao Yi is really an immortal who has descended to earth?
"That means learning from the knowledge and experience of our predecessors. But the Qin Dynasty has become too far gone to recover, and the emperor no longer has the ambition to conquer the six kingdoms."

Zhao Yi said with regret: "He is now incompetent and has wasted the country's financial resources on the illusory pursuit of immortality."

This is Ying Zheng drinking a sip of iced black tea to suppress his anger.

But he admitted that Zhao Yi was right.

If he had not met Zhao Yi, he would still be taking golden elixirs every day in pursuit of immortality.

But it's different now.

With Zhao Yi's support, Daqin's internal and external troubles can be easily resolved.

The astonishing yield of potatoes can solve the internal problems of the Qin Dynasty.

By then, the people of the six countries will be able to eat enough every day and the Qin Dynasty will have enough food and fodder to supply the army.

Then the people of the six countries will not rebel.

The external threats of the Huns and Baiyue were nothing compared to Zhao Yi's grenade.

Ying Zheng planned to ask Zhao Yi to help him implement the best strategy after his identity was revealed.

Ying Zheng knew that once the best strategy was implemented, the people of the six countries would completely submit to the Qin Dynasty.

The six kingdoms will completely become history, and there will be no possibility of restoration!
"So the Qin Dynasty will surely perish in the second generation! So we must prepare for the rebellion as soon as possible."

Why do you think about rebellion all the time?

"I think the future belongs to you, Old Zhao. Old Zhao, you have the potential to be an emperor. Don't forget to promote me when the time comes, right?"

Haha, in fact, I have already been the Emperor of Qin and there is no need to rebel to become the Emperor.

Ying Zheng felt that he would have to find an excuse to beat Zhao Yi up in the future to relieve his depression.

The little brat doesn't learn anything else every day and just thinks about rebelling. He must be lacking in education.

Deserve a beating!
