My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 1216: You can't be so PUA! Does my brother want to betray me?
Ying Zheng looked at Ying Chengjiao with an extremely fiery gaze and asked, "Brother, will you ever be able to see this thing in your lifetime?"

"Even if it is something in its infancy as my brother said?"

Ying Chengjiao looked embarrassed, but nodded and said, "Brother, I will do my best!"

The principle of the steam engine is simple, but Ying Chengjiao hasn't even figured out the steelmaking technique yet, and there is no trace of the remaining parts. Ying Chengjiao himself doesn't know if he can make a steam engine in his lifetime, let alone let Ying Zheng see the steam engine.

However, Ying Zheng showed a relieved smile: "If this is the case, then you can rest in peace!"

Ying Chengyu:...

What do you mean you can rest in peace now? If you can't see the prototype of the steam engine before you die, you will die with regrets, right?
I can't tolerate such PUA!
Lü Buwei said solemnly, "Since this thing can be made by our Great Qin, it can also be made by the barbarians."

"Whoever gets this first will dominate the world!"

"If the barbarians get this first, they will use it to attack our Qin!"

"It is not that the Great Qin chooses war, but that the Great Qin has to fight to survive."

"Your Majesty's concerns are reasonable!"

The craftsmanship of the Donghu, Xiongnu and other barbarians was inferior to that of the Qin, but what about the barbarians in the other eight states? Their craftsmanship was not necessarily far inferior to that of the Qin, and they might not have no local gods descended to the world to bestow magic.

If the people of Kyushu all mastered the technique of traveling a thousand miles in a day as described by Ying Chengjiao, how would the Kyushu at that time be different from China today?
It seems that the Qin Dynasty can decide whether there will be war or peace, but according to the 300-year history of chaos in the Zhou Dynasty, once the Qin Dynasty is discovered, it will inevitably be attacked by other civilizations!
At this moment, Lu Buwei suddenly understood Ying Zheng's concerns.

Daqin has no choice!
Ying Chengjiao took this opportunity to end the topic of steam engines and nodded in agreement, saying, "What the Prime Minister said makes sense."

"The people of the world will not believe that one day the Great Qin will be shot down by the powerful crossbows and sharp arrows of the eight states. The people of the world do not care whether the Great Qin can unify the nine states and fulfill the command of the emperor."

"The people of the world have experienced three hundred years of war and are no longer able to sustain a long war with no end in sight."

"The people of the world need to rest and recuperate, otherwise they will dig up our Great Qin before the enemies from the Eight States invade!"

"That's why I advise you!" Ying Chengjiao bowed to Ying Zheng and said, "Govern the nine states by dividing them into fiefdoms!"

Ying Zheng's thoughts were instantly drawn away from the craftsmanship that Ying Chengjiao had just described. He looked at Ying Chengjiao in disbelief and asked, "What did my brother say just now?"

"Brother, you didn't hear it clearly."

What was the purpose of the two brothers going through life and death together?
Isn’t it just about unifying the world and bringing it under one roof?

Now that you and I have unified the world, your younger brother wants to betray our ideals and even stab me in the back?!

My biological father betrayed me, my biological mother betrayed me, my grandfather betrayed me, my grandmother betrayed me, all my relatives betrayed me, and now, even my younger brother is going to betray me!

Ying Zheng felt his heart was icy cold, and his vision even went dark, but he was still looking in the direction of Ying Chengjiao in his memory!
Facing Ying Zheng's hopeful, almost pleading gaze, Ying Chengjiao bowed again and said in a deep voice: "I advise you to divide the nine states into fiefdoms!"

"Since my elder brother offered sacrifices to heaven and earth and ascended to the throne of emperor, the Red County of Shenzhou has been designated as the Imperial Region. No one from future generations, even for the next ten thousand generations, may grant the Imperial Region to others. Only those who enjoy the Imperial Region are worthy of being emperors."

"I will then enfeoff the princes in various places in the Great Nine Provinces far away from the imperial capital, and let them lead their own troops and prepare their own food and grass to go to their fiefdoms, expand the territory for our Great Qin, and occupy the important roads along the way."

"In this way, we, the Great Qin, can attack the enemies of the Great Nine Provinces without having to sacrifice our national strength. We can also build cities and store food and grass in various places in the Great Nine Provinces. If the emperor wants to send troops to attack the barbarians, the vassal states along the way will all provide supplies." "I think this strategy may help our Great Qin take over the Great Nine Provinces and fulfill the order of the emperor's land."

"I'll ask for it myself!"

"All fiefs except Chang'an Township must be returned to the court, and in exchange for the merit of destroying the country in this battle, Yingzhou will be given to my brother as his fiefdom!"

Lu Buwei, Wei Zhuang and other ministers who supported the feudal system were originally prepared to step forward and agree with Ying Chengjiao immediately after he finished speaking, to cheer for Ying Chengjiao and take this opportunity to change Ying Zheng's mind and change the counties into feudal systems.

But when Ying Chengjiao finished speaking, Lu Buwei and other ministers looked at each other in surprise.

Shenzhou was the imperial capital, and the princes were enfeoffed to the remaining eight states. Ying Chengjiao even requested to be enfeoffed to the most remote Yingzhou.

You call this enfeoffment?

I think you are crazy!

If the Qin Dynasty really forced Wang Jian, Meng Wu and other meritorious officials to travel thousands of miles away with their families and never return to the Qin Dynasty, how would the meritorious officials view the Qin Dynasty? How would the people of the world view the Qin Dynasty?
This is not enfeoffment, this is clearly exile!
Wang Ben's eyes lit up, and he and Meng Wu stepped forward together, cupped their hands and shouted, "I second the motion!"

Exile is good!

With their abilities, as long as they can take their clansmen and family soldiers with them, they can conquer a home anywhere.

Although the home at that time might be a little simple and poor, at least there was no need to worry about being suddenly executed one day!

Unfortunately, Ying Zheng ignored the calls of Wang Ben and Meng Wu. He just stared at Ying Chengjiao with his eyes fixed, and his heart was filled with the sound of a groundhog!
You said that Ying Chengjiao did not betray Ying Zheng, but Ying Chengjiao supported the feudal system.

You say that Ying Chengjiao betrayed Ying Zheng, but the enfeoffment that Ying Chengjiao supported had nothing to do with the current territory of the Qin Dynasty.

After a few breaths, Ying Zheng finally recovered a little and asked in a trembling voice, "Is this the policy of dividing the nine provinces that my brother recommended?"

"Don't you think this strategy is ridiculous, my brother?"

Ying Chengjiao was puzzled and asked back: "Why are you laughing?"

"When the Zhou emperor divided the Qin kingdom, Didao, Yiqiu and other places were all barbarian lands. It was the Qin people of successive generations who used war to convert the barbarians into Chinese."

"Now that my elder brother is enfeoffing the princes, you can naturally enfeoff the princes to distant lands, so that they can transform the barbarians into Chinese people just like the Qin Dynasty did in the past."

"I ask to be enfeoffed in Yingzhou, and I dare to say that I will turn Yingzhou into the territory of the Great Qin!"

Ying Chengjiao felt that his strategy was great!
The implementation of the county system in Shenzhou would not affect Ying Zheng's pursuit of the idea of ​​great unification, nor would it split the territory of Qin. For the vast majority of people, Ying Chengjiao's advice was of no use.

The feudal system was implemented throughout China, and meritorious generals were sent to fight foreign wars with their own food and soldiers. This not only did not affect the national strength of the Qin Dynasty, but also allowed the Qin Dynasty to always maintain a state of expanding its territory. Isn't this how the Zhou Dynasty gained such a large territory?
There is nothing wrong with "one country, two systems"!
Ying Zheng closed his eyes in pain and helplessness.

It’s not my brother who betrayed me.

But it was the prince’s brain that betrayed him!
