The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 372 Han Wangan, you still have a daughter!
The next step is recommendation, but even for recommendation, one still has to pass an exam, which is relatively simple and mainly tests practical ability.

There is also Yin'en, those who understand will understand this.

There is also promotion, which those who understand will understand.

With these combined moves, basically all classes and identities can be taken care of. Fortunately, the interest classes and interest groups of all classes are now in disarray under the Qin Dynasty's century-old military merit system. This allowed Ying Zheng to create the prototype of the imperial examination while being willing to spend money.

The selection of officials through various methods can not only supplement the officials of the Qin Dynasty, but also put the brakes on the military merit system.

Especially the prototype of the imperial examination system, which is very important. It is not easy to put the brakes on a militaristic empire, especially when it is still needed now.

You have to slow down in advance and be prepared for braking, so that after unification, you won't be carried forward by the military nobles and unable to stop.

Ying Zheng has sighed countless times that governing a big country is like cooking a small fish.

This is a famous saying that truly and truthfully applies.

No matter how powerful or how big a country is, if there are not so many earth-shaking things happening every day in governing the country, the country would have perished long ago.

A country only becomes a big thing when small things pile up.

Establishing a good system, selecting the right people, and dividing the cake well are the most important things.

All of these need to be fine-tuned as time and situations change, and we must have a long-term vision and be prepared in advance. It is absolutely impossible for a huge empire to sharpen its weapons at the last minute.

The bigger the ship is, the harder it is to turn around. If you don't set the direction in advance, the only way out is to sink the ship.

Fortunately, there is still time for everything now.

Finally, the seventh year of King Zheng of Qin arrived.

He didn't want to attack anyone this year.

The current harvest is enough to last for several years.

This year's strategic goal is very simple, to provoke a war among the six countries in Guandong, consume their vitality, and Qin can wait for the opportunity to act.

Apart from anything else, the State of Zhao will definitely attack the State of Yan.

The State of Chu will most likely continue to attack the State of Wei.

This matter is simple, just stir up trouble.

That loser Tianze has been doing this for a whole year. With the support of both people and money, he has only gathered more than 10,000 people and occupied a few hilltops.

The appeal of his identity is really not that strong.

After all, the Baiyue tribes themselves are not very united.

Tianze's tribe had disappeared more than ten years ago. After being destroyed by the State of Chu, it was divided up completely.

But even so, with the support of Daqin, they only recruited more than 10,000 people in a year, which is really a bit useless.

These more than ten thousand people do not refer to the army of more than ten thousand people, but the people under the rule.

His methods were too crude and brutal, and he had no idea of ​​the art of ruling.

It is right to give a sweet reward after a slap in the face. It would be strange if positive governance can be achieved by slapping again and again.

If it weren't for Li Xin's help, he wouldn't be able to gather any people now, let alone have his own little territory.

Judging from Tianze's current condition, he will be of no use for another three to two years.

Just let him be.

It’s been a while since I paid attention to Korea.

Oh, Han Wangan, you still have a daughter!

It’s not easy to find a reason to beat you, but is it difficult to find a reason to blackmail you?
There are only two counties left in South Korea, so we can't go too far.

This time I only want five cities from you.

Just after the spring ploughing season, Li Si was sent as an envoy to the Kingdom of Han to propose marriage to the Korean princess.

The betrothal gifts for this trip included a hundred carts and the "Sui Hou Pearl".

The priceless Suihou Pearl was given as a betrothal gift. It is as famous as the Heshi Jade. It is not too much to ask you for a few cities as a dowry.

Li Si was still wondering why the Suihou Pearl was different from what was recorded in the records. It seemed too ordinary.

It feels like an ordinary gem, just a little bit bigger.

Forget it. The king said that this is the Suihou Pearl, so this is it. Who dares to say it is not?

I should be able to see my senior brother again on this trip. The former king of Korea passed away, and he must go back to attend the funeral and observe mourning.

Senior brother, senior brother.

But it’s completely different now.

Thinking of this, Li Si couldn't help but feel a little proud.

When Li Si came to Xinzheng, King Han An was stunned when he learned of Li Si's purpose.

The person who comes seems to be kind, but in fact he is not kind.

I had just completed my mourning period and had just officially ascended the throne, and yet the Qin State came up with this. This must be their ill intention!

After King An of Han settled Li Si in the guesthouse, he hurriedly summoned all the civil and military officials to discuss the matter.

In addition to Zhang Kaidi, Ji Wuye, Bai Yifei, the ministers in the hall also included Crown Prince Han Sheng, the fourth son Han Yu, and the ninth son Han Fei, who were all highly valued by King Han An.

Last year, King Huanhui of Han passed away, and Han Fei naturally had to return to his country to attend the funeral and observe mourning.

Han Fei originally wanted to achieve something, but he had studied abroad for many years and had no foundation in the country. Now without Guiguzi's help, he could not make any progress in Korea and suffered a complete setback.

He still holds no position, but because of his extraordinary talent and ability, Han Wangan values ​​him very much and will call him for advice whenever there is something.

Even though he was naturally optimistic, what he experienced this year was quite a blow to him.

It is quite similar to his original historical experience. He had great ambitions and talents, but was not valued.

An honest and upright person will not tolerate a corrupt and crooked minister.

This is the real normal state. But he did not lose his will because of this. Instead, he learned from the setbacks and lessons from the failed struggles. His book is about to be completed.

In this world, all flesh will eventually turn into dust.

However, thoughts, culture, and knowledge can be passed down from generation to generation. No matter whether it is a hundred years, a thousand years, or even ten thousand years, they will eventually be engraved on this land.

Perhaps one day, the previous knowledge and ideas will no longer adapt to the new era, and may even gradually fade away.

But he eventually became a part of this nation and this land, forever fused together and never to be separated.

And his name will eventually be engraved in the long river of history and become a part of the stars of human civilization.

But at this moment, he could only stand aside. Although he had some qualifications to interrupt, it was up to others to decide whether to listen or not.

After King Han An explained the purpose of the Qin envoys' visit, the group of people below all had their own ulterior motives.

Ji Wuye said it didn’t matter, he had nothing to lose, so it was better to agree and not offend the State of Qin.

Bai Yifei was overjoyed. This seemed like an opportunity. He could send someone to the Qin Palace.

Cousin, here's your chance!
Open brows frowned.

Crown Prince Han Sheng was a little worried, because he couldn't afford to offend Qin and Han.

Han Yu was wondering whether he could get any benefit from this matter.

Only Han Fei was anxious. He didn't care about the life and death of these insects in the court.

Over the past year, he has seen through this group of people. Except for his own family, everyone else really wishes they were all dead.

The entire country of Korea was hopeless. Under the long-term threat and infiltration of the Qin State, all high-ranking officials and nobles, including his father, were just trying to muddle through and enjoy each day as it came.

You never know when you won’t have the chance again.

It seems that this idea is correct.

Although this group of insects is beyond saving, Honglian is different.

The sky of South Korea is covered by endless dark clouds, and the red lotus is a ray of sunshine shining through the gaps in the clouds.

This was the only warmth Han Fei felt in Korea, in his own country.

He must protect his sister.

Han Wangan frowned and sighed, "Everyone, please tell me what you think."

In an instant, everyone turned their eyes to Zhang Kaidi.

Who made him the prime minister?

Even though Zhang Kaidi's family was wealthy and well-educated, with a good character, at that moment, the words in Zhang Kaidi's heart were still very dirty.

Zhang Kaidi said helplessly: "Replying to the king, the King of Qin used Suihou Pearl as a betrothal gift, which shows his determination."

"And this is also a good thing. Everyone in the world knows that the King of Qin values ​​friendship and loyalty. Being able to marry the King of Qin is also a good thing for South Korea."

Zhang Kaidi’s meaning is very clear. We have no right to refuse, so just accept it.

Han Wangan said: "I understand these principles, and I am not saying I will refuse."

"I want to know what to do with the dowry."

"The Suihou Pearl is extremely valuable. Is there anything in Korea that can compare to it?"

"Don't even mention triple the gift, even double it is still too much!"

"If I don't return, wouldn't that be a humiliation to the King of Qin? If I'm not careful, a good thing will turn into a disaster."

Zhang Kaidi was speechless.

Well, I thought you, Your Majesty, were unwilling.

After all, the King of Qin wants your most beloved daughter.

So you are worried about the issue of returning the gift.

Han Wangan saw that Zhang Kaidi stopped talking and looked at other people. Whoever he looked at avoided his gaze.

My king, don't look at us, we can't take it out either.

King Han An sighed and said, "In the past, the King of Qin offered five cities of Han to marry the Princess of Chu, and the King of Chu gave this Suihou Pearl in return."

"Now the King of Qin is using this Suihou Pearl as a betrothal gift. If it is converted into cities, wouldn't it be ten cities? If we want to return the gift twice, we will need twenty cities."

"It would be better for me to submit my whole country to Qin."

A group of people looked at each other.

I wonder how many people are thinking: It’s not impossible.

Prince Han Sheng said anxiously: "Father, you can't do that!"

"How can one give a country as a wedding gift?"

"Han was originally a vassal of Qin, so Qin would definitely not accept this plan. It seems like they are looking for a reason to annex Han. It would be very unpleasant if it got out."

"Qin must also understand the difficulties of South Korea. As long as etiquette and other things are equal, it doesn't necessarily need to be more."

"In the past, the Qin State exchanged five cities for the Suihou Pearl. We, the Han State, also gave five cities as a return gift. That is enough."

Zhang Kai sighed in his heart and said in a deep voice: "What the prince said makes sense. I agree with him."

Han Wangan sighed softly: "It seems that this is the only way."

"My Lords, do you have any other suggestions?"

"What do you think, General?"
