The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 463 Big Sister, the Eternal God
At that time, many people who had no other way to join the country also yearned for it. After all, everyone yearns for a better life.

However, such a major matter as completely surrendering to Qin could not be decided in a hurry, even for the prestige of the Six-Fingered Black Knight.

After several days of meetings, the Six-Fingered Black Knight finally convinced the majority of people and all the leaders, both for public and private reasons, and both emotionally and logically.

Not all six or seven leaders supported it, but at least no one opposed it.

Some people also raised the question: what should be done about the development of Chu and Yan?
The Six-Fingered Black Knight did not force ordinary disciples. Those who wanted to stay in Chu and Yan would not be forced, and those who wanted to enter Qin would follow him into Qin.

But all the leaders and core disciples must follow into Qin.

In addition, all Mohists were not allowed to be enemies with the State of Qin, otherwise they would be expelled from the Mohist school.

Regarding this, the Six-Fingered Black Knight gave a death order.

Not to mention that the Six-Fingered Black Knight is still the leader today. Even after the position of the leader is passed to Xiang Lisheng, his prestige is still the highest, and no one can replace him as the leader of the Dengling clan's Mo Sect for a while.

Besides, he is still needed to take the lead in Qin State. The Six-Fingered Black Knight is the leader of Chu Mo recognized by Qin State.

The status of a guest official of the Great Qin is not something that anyone can take on.

Chu Mo’s rules are the most strict, and no one dares to disobey him.

Although there were some bumps along the way, it was still going smoothly. Chu Mo and his group began to enter Qin in large numbers.

At the same time, in order to show his loyalty, Li Bing united the various tribes in Bashu and Yunnan to present precious treasures and beauties to Xianyang.

It has been more than eighty years since the Qin Dynasty annexed Bashu, but it has only been in the past twenty years that the people of Bashu were truly and completely won over. Li Bing governed Bashu, worked hard to control floods, created the land of abundance, and won the hearts of the people of Bashu, making great contributions.

The title of marquis is what he deserves.

Although the ancient Shu Kingdom was destroyed, its remnants still existed. The only surviving prince of the Kaiming clan, Du Pan (Shu Pan), led his people to flee south to Jiaozhi (now northern Vietnam), destroyed the Wenlang Kingdom, established the Ou Luo Kingdom, and called itself the Anyang Dynasty.

We will have to destroy it in the future to completely eliminate its future troubles.

Although the land of Bashu has been basically conquered now, it is not so easy to assimilate it completely. The culture of Bashu is very different from that of the Central Plains, and it has a rich cultural heritage. In addition, there are many tribes, complex beliefs, a strong wizard color, and relatively extremely superstitious beliefs in gods.

Although there is some rich cultural heritage, its superstitious beliefs are even stronger. In addition, there are many barbarian tribes and the development is insufficient. The governance and assimilation of the Bashu land cannot be relaxed at all.

And now the main focus is on cracking down on the messy beliefs in gods and witches in the local area. Although the Bashu area has implemented county management for many years, many local tribes have great autonomy, especially the tribal wizards, who have strong control over the tribe.

This group of people who claim to be God's spokespersons on earth are the main targets of crackdowns, and their right to speak must be eliminated. However, this cannot be done by force, at least not now, otherwise it will only backfire.

Of course, it doesn't mean that they should be spoiled. They still need to be educated from time to time. If they are obedient, they will still be the high and mighty gods and witches in the tribe.

If you don't listen, find someone else.

The ignorant people cannot be educated in a short time, but the spokesperson can be replaced at any time.

I will send you to heaven to listen to the teachings of the gods, and then you can come back to teach the people. As for how you come back and whether you can come back, that is your business.

Ying Zheng had already considered the issue of faith a long time ago. It was a top priority and should not be taken lightly.

Faith is necessary and positive. In this era when the vast majority of people can only experience pain, the vast majority of people live and die in pain.

Most people cannot read a single word, and many people must have a belief to comfort themselves and keep living, whether it is God or ghost, true or false.

This is not necessarily a bad thing. After all, life is too cruel, so cruel that one can only numb oneself with illusory gods.

Although the beliefs of this era are quite complicated, they are also quite simple and plain.

It is mainly nature worship such as the sun, moon, mountains and rivers, as well as ancestor worship and totem worship. Even the gods are mostly the embodiment of nature and laws.

There is absolutely no truly complete belief system.

Religious doctrines, religious scriptures, religious rituals, behavioral norms, and organizational structures, when combined together, form a truly complete belief system.

Now there is none at all.

It's already good enough to have three of them, and each one of them has many loopholes when taken individually.

Regarding this point, Ying Zheng had already secretly compiled a mythological system, which was closely integrated with the position of the Son of Heaven, making the emperor's rule in theocracy absolutely legal.

The mythological system compiled with Ying Zheng's knowledge, as well as the related descriptions and specific details, are a dimensionality-reduction attack on this era, like a hammer pressing down on it.

Once the world is unified, it is time to promote a new belief system, which is an extremely important step.

In an era without various isms, faith is extremely important. Among the lowest class of civilians, this is the most important culture.

All aspects of governing a country must be taken into consideration. The imperial system and official system are naturally important, but the cultural and ideological construction at the grassroots level are also important, and can even be said to be more important.

In an era where the illiteracy rate is over 90%, faith must be restricted and must be carried out under the guidance of the imperial court, otherwise it will inevitably lead to great trouble. Not to mention modern times, even in later generations where the illiteracy rate is less than 3%, the control and guidance of faith cannot be taken lightly, and its seriousness and importance can be imagined.

Some people in this world only have basic self-care abilities and are not actually normal people.

Coupled with the cruel life, we must give the lower-class people hope.

Hope is the most precious thing in the world, especially for rulers. As long as the people still have hope, no matter how vague the hope is, it must be there. As long as it exists, the rule can continue.

However, it is not appropriate to change faith now. It will be appropriate only after unification. All the messy obscene and evil sacrifices must be cleared out.

There can only be one spokesperson for God on earth, and there can only be one person who has the final say on what God means.

The combination of divine power and royal power is the truly supreme power.

The Zhou Dynasty has already made a good start in this regard, and it can be inherited and carried forward.

Ying Zheng was a pragmatist. He would use anything that was useful.

Are the principles and rules in the world so inconvenient?
Li Bing did not ignore the chaotic beliefs in Bashu and even in Yunnan today. He deliberately guided and controlled them. His prestige in Bashu is very high now. Even those who cannot read are willing to listen to him.

After all, he fed so many people. No matter what kind of gods or beliefs, for most people, they were not as important as the people who could feed them.

People will listen to you if you talk while cooking; empty talk is useless.

The ignorance and simplicity of the people are not in conflict.

They are ignorant because they have no opportunity to receive education and broaden their horizons.

They are simple because they have simple values, and after experiencing things, they can distinguish between good and bad.

Among the beauties presented by Li Bing this time were saints, witches, goddesses and other women with special identities from various tribes in the Bashu area.

The title of the Son of Heaven claimed by the Zhou Dynasty for 800 years was recognized even in the land of Bashu.

Li Bing used a big stick in one hand and a sweet date in the other, and said directly that he wanted to select people to serve the emperor. The process went smoothly. Several of the largest witch tribes offered their most outstanding women, and even the most powerful Shushan obediently offered its saint.

Shushan was originally the official place of worship of the ancient Shu Kingdom. After the destruction of the ancient Shu Kingdom, its status declined greatly and it was weakened year by year. However, even so, it is still the strongest witch organization in Bashu.

Of course, he still bowed his head obediently in front of the Qin Dynasty.

They only dare to do some tricks and complain in private, but they dare not confront head-on.

Even this time they were very active and had no rejection. They also wanted to send the best women to serve King Qin in exchange for the future of Shushan.

Moreover, Ying Zheng's reputation as being favored by God is now known to everyone even in the land of Bashu. The books compiled by Nian Duan have saved countless lives.

The people are simple and honest. They will remember those who are good to them and those who save them.

At least now.

Just like several witch tribes claimed that Nian Duan was the reincarnation of the goddess of child-preserving or the goddess of child-giving, etc., they have been included in the scope of worship and are quite popular. After all, other gods have not seen much, but Nian Duan is a reincarnated god who is alive and well.

After all, reproduction and fertility worship are the most primitive and simple worship, especially in Shu.

Even though many wizards did not want to include a living person in the sacrifice, when the people voluntarily began to believe in the sacrifice in every household, they had no choice but to quickly offer Nian Duan as well.

These wizards can guide and deceive the people, but they would never dare to go against them directly.

Besides, Nian Duan has the support of the Qin Dynasty behind him, so they dare not force him.

The people are offering sacrifices to the tablets of Nian Duan, do they dare to destroy them?

The swords and knives of the common people are not sharp, but the swords, spears, swords and halberds of the Qin soldiers are very sharp.

Is faith such an inconvenient thing? If it is useful, absorb it! If you can't beat it, join it!
Not to mention Bashu, the core heartland of Qin, even Chu claimed that Nian Duan was Shao Siming who came to the world to benefit the people.

Of course, all of this was also due to Ying Zheng’s great help, but the results were all good.

After all, the two of them are tied together, and the elder sister has an immortal golden body, which is equivalent to Ying Zheng having the same body. Naturally, she will help with all her strength. The implicit impact of this on stabilizing her rule is immeasurable.

The eldest sister's medical code and pharmacopoeia are almost finished and are undergoing final proofreading. In addition, according to Ying Zheng's instructions, she is also compiling a simple, easy-to-use abridged version of a medical book similar to the "Barefoot Doctor's Manual". Ying Zheng named it "The Life-Saving Book".
