Chapter 444: Mausoleum Town System, Recruiting Han Xin

After Richard finished explaining to the First Emperor, he began to look through the books collected by the Qin State. After the Qin State conquered the six kingdoms, it obtained a large number of treasures from the six kingdoms, including many books.

The largest number of books were obtained from the Zhou royal family. The Zhou royal family lasted for 800 years. Although it began to decline in the Spring and Autumn Period, the royal family has continued to exist. A large number of books were collected in its storage room.

Among them are the books left by Laozi when he was the administrator of the treasury. Laozi did not leave many books, most of which were his insights from reading books. Only one book, "Tao Te Ching", was left in the treasury before he left.

This Tao Te Ching was written by Lao Tzu based on his insights after reading these books. But it is a pity that the one he has is not the complete one.

After all, hundreds of years had passed, and the Zhou emperor's life had been getting worse day by day. He himself was not living well, so naturally he would not pay attention to the storage room, so most of the books in the storage room were damaged.

There are insect bites, rat bites, or dampness and decay. After all, maintaining bamboo slips is very expensive.

Richard looked at the words in the Tao Te Ching. These words condensed a force of rules, which was Lao Tzu's Tao. He wrote this Tao Te Ching to express his understanding of the world and his analysis of the rules.

"The power of rules has been discovered. Analyzing is in progress."

"Current progress is 0.01%"

The words in front of Richard's eyes combined into a strange rule, showing him how the rule worked. This rule was very strange and showed him how the rule worked directly. It helped Richard understand the rule more easily.

This half volume of the Tao Te Ching did not tell Richard new world laws, but it helped him to analyze the world laws more quickly. I think Lao Tzu's understanding of the world rules should be in the second half.

"What a pity that the Zhou Emperor didn't take good care of these bamboo slips." Richard sighed.

"Well, I was greedy. It is a great blessing to be able to see the authentic works of Daozu. I can't expect more. Nothing can be forced."

Richard looked at the half scroll of bamboo slips in his hand, while the other half had been destroyed by insects.

Although this scroll of bamboo slips carries the rules in words, the bamboo slips themselves are still ordinary things. I think Daozu must have done it on purpose. It is his good fortune that someone can see it, but it doesn't matter if someone can't see it. Moreover, this kind of bamboo slips are envied by the heavens as soon as they are born. It is also because of Daozu that they can be preserved.

The Tao Te Ching on this bamboo slip is almost the same as the Tao Te Ching that Richard had read in his previous life. The so-called Tao Te Ching in his previous life was basically constantly revised by later generations.

The classic "Tao Te Ching" has been tampered with too many times. The "Tao Te Ching" unearthed from Mawangdui is very different from the "Tao Te Ching" passed down to later generations.

In addition to the Tao Te Ching, there are many other books, even some classics from the Shang Dynasty. The number of classics from the Shang Dynasty is very small, and most of them are incomplete, with extremely concise text, and many are engraved on tortoise shells.

Richard took a quick look and found that most of these things were items for communicating with ghosts, gods and ancestors.

In addition to these, Richard also discovered several books left by ancient sages, such as "Zhuangzi" and "Liezi". Richard scanned all these books, and these books were also very different from those of later generations.

What has been handed down to later generations has almost been tampered with beyond recognition.

After Richard taught the Emperor the Daoyin Technique, Ying Zheng would practice it seriously for an hour every day, and followed the advice to abstain from sex during this period. After all, he had been taking elixirs for many years and his body was in great shape.

Although Richard helped him clear the poison, it would still take time to recover.

Next, after stopping most of the construction projects across the country and no longer levying corvee labor, Ying Zheng began to take action against the nobles of the six countries.

Ying Zheng relocated the wealthy people of the six kingdoms to Guanzhong on the pretext of guarding the tombs of previous kings, thus officially starting the mausoleum town system.

The so-called rich families were also very simple. In this era, the rich were basically nobles. Common people had only a few coins and did not even have a surname. And those who were rich were basically nobles of the six kingdoms.

These nobles occupied large amounts of land in various places, and had many servants in their homes, with any one family being able to employ hundreds or even thousands of people. If they stayed in the local area, they would be a source of instability.

In order to relocate these wealthy families, the First Emperor directly sent a large army to garrison them. A hundred thousand troops were stationed in the nearby prefectures and counties, and the nobles of the six surrounding countries did not dare to resist at all.

The deterrent power of the 100,000-man army silenced countless people, and the imperial court's order to relocate the rich families in the world to Guanzhong was carried out. A large number of nobles from the six countries who had been dominating the local areas were forcibly relocated to Guanzhong. These nobles were dejected, unwilling in their hearts but dared not object.

On the way to Hangu Pass in Guanzhong, the traffic of carriages and horses looked like a long dragon.

A large number of nobles from the six kingdoms were moved to Guanzhong, and the land they left behind was taken over by the imperial court. Part of it was distributed to the people, and the other part was distributed to the soldiers.

After the nobles of the six countries were forcibly relocated, the land was distributed, and the originally unstable areas immediately became stable. However, this does not mean that they can sit back and relax. They also have to be careful that the nobles of the six countries will take risks and rebel on the spot. This is why Ying Zheng prepared 100,000 troops when he migrated.

After the Qin State implemented the mausoleum town system, many people were forced to migrate to Guanzhong. In addition to the nobles of the six states, Richard also recommended some talents to Qin Shihuang. The first one was Han Xin.

At this time, Han Xin had just suffered the humiliation of being kicked in the crotch and was at the lowest point in his life. When Richard told the First Emperor, he told him to give him the greatest respect.

The First Emperor curiously asked why. Richard smiled and said, "Han Xin is a great military talent. If we get his help, the world will be at peace."

"Is he really so talented?" the First Emperor asked in amazement.

"His talent is comparable to that of Lord Wu'an." Richard said with a smile.

Bai Qi, the Marquis of Wu'an, was the military god who laid the foundation for Qin's unification of the six kingdoms. In the Battle of Changping, he defeated Zhao and completely blocked Qin's way to the east.

If Han Xin could be comparable to Wu'an Jun, it can be said that the world would be at peace.

The First Emperor immediately ordered his ministers to go to Huaiyin in person to invite Han Xin, and issued a death order to give him the treatment of a duke.

So in Huaiyin County, a humble county in the Qin Dynasty, officials sent by the First Emperor found Han Xin, who was still unknown and even ridiculed. Then, with an expression of disbelief on his face, they invited him to take up the position of a Qin official with the courtesy of a duke.

Han Xin stared blankly at the official who came to announce the imperial edict. During this period of time, because he was forced by the butcher, he could only endure the humiliation of being kicked in the crotch and was mocked and ridiculed by the people around him. He could only hide at home to study military tactics. He was even more determined to make a name for himself and avenge his previous humiliation.

But when he was studying the art of war, a court official came to pay him a visit with the courtesy of a duke and told him that the First Emperor had recommended him to the imperial teacher and knew that he had great talent, so he came to recruit him to serve as an official in the court.

"Your Majesty knows that I have great talent, so you come to recruit me as an official?" Han Xin said in disbelief.

"Yes." The official who came to announce the decree smiled and said, "Doctor Han, although His Majesty has never met you, the Imperial Master knows that you have great talent, so he recommended you to His Majesty."

"Your Majesty ordered us to come here. Do Doctor Han and the Imperial Master know each other?"

"National Master? I don't know him!" Han Xin also looked confused.

"Haha, the Imperial Master has the ability to predict the future. He must know that Doctor Han is a talented person. Doctor Han, let's return to Guanzhong now!"

Although he had many questions in his mind, the desire to succeed prevailed in the end. Han Xin finally decided to agree to follow the official to Guanzhong.

"By the way, Doctor Han, the Immortal Master once said that we should ask Doctor Han after we come here whether he will punish the butcher who bullied you?"

When Han Xin heard this, his expression changed for a while. Finally, he thought for a while and said, "I have this status now because of the recommendation of the imperial teacher and the reward from your majesty. I have not done anything for the country yet, so I dare not use the majesty of the court to do private things."

"Doctor Han is a role model for our generation because he clearly distinguishes between public and private affairs. I'll leave this matter to you to handle."

Next, in the astonished eyes of his neighbors, Han Xin was recruited by the court as an official. The court envoys even welcomed him with the courtesy of a duke, which caused a sensation throughout Huaiyin County. The butcher naturally also heard the news and was terrified all day long. Only after seeing that Han Xin did not pursue the matter did he feel relieved.

At the same time, on the other side, Pei County.

There was also a team of imperial envoys coming. When they arrived, they went directly to Xiao He. When Richard recommended Han Xin, he also recommended Xiao He. Although Xiao He was a county official, Richard had talked with him and found that he was very talented. Later, he became the first prime minister of the Han Dynasty.

Now that Liu Bang has been captured by him, there will be no Emperor Gaozu of Han in the future, and Xiao He will naturally not be the prime minister, so it is a good time to bring him to Xianyang. Li Si will definitely not be the prime minister for long. The First Emperor has not killed him yet, because he is still useful. When the court's decrees are almost implemented, his mission will be completed.

During this period, Xiao He was allowed to study with him, and when Li Si was finished, Xiao He would be appointed as prime minister.

Not only Xiao He, but also several famous officials of the early Han Dynasty such as Chen Ping were recruited by the court. As for those military generals, most of them were captured by Richard when he captured Liu Bang.

These people don't have much talent now because they lack experience. They were able to grow to the heights in history because they were tempered and grew up again and again in the late Qin and early Han dynasties. Now there are no opportunities for them to grow, and these people just have some talent.

When Xiao He saw the imperial envoy coming to recruit him, he was stunned. He was even more surprised when he learned that the imperial teacher was actually Richard.

He couldn't understand why, in just one month, Richard became the Imperial Master of the Qin Dynasty and even the First Emperor respected him so much.
