The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 639 Waiting for the Opportunity
This was something that the original people of Yan and Zhao did not dare to think about.

The weather in Yan and Zhao is bitterly cold, and it’s not just the harsh environment.

The nobles were vicious and tyrannical, and the officials were extremely greedy. Only after they entered the Qin Dynasty and followed Qin law in everything did they know what the rules were.

Rules written on paper and strictly followed, even if they are still biased, are better than rules where what the masters say is the final word and the final right of interpretation lies in their mouths.

Moreover, Qin law really treats everyone equally and cannot be violated. In recent years, more nobles have been punished for breaking the law than ordinary people.

After all, civilians often dare not break the law.

And nobles often don't like to obey the law.

Especially in a country like the Qin Dynasty, which has many rules and strict laws.

A large number of people who have gained wealth and power through good reincarnation techniques are so stupid and arrogant that it is hard for ordinary people to imagine.

Those superiors and nobles use tricks to brainwash ordinary people, always promoting how wise, intelligent, kind and benevolent they are, but in fact.

Under the system of hereditary aristocracy, the vested interest groups and the elites are always the minority, while fools are the majority.

As for kindness and goodness, they are even more of a luxury.

There are more idiots than one might imagine who come to help Daqin establish its power and reshuffle its cards.

Under the system of collective responsibility, this group of idiots made outstanding contributions to the rapid reshuffle of power in Qin and the strengthening of control.

Moreover, it is reasonable, legal and compliant.

Congratulations, congratulations.

What is worrying is not the lack of things but the inequality. If everyone follows the same rules, rewards those who have made contributions and punishes those who have made mistakes, cohesion and recognition can be improved very quickly.

Coupled with Daqin's efficient grassroots management and construction, the lives of ordinary people have truly and effectively been greatly improved.

Even though 99% of people in this era have not received any education and cannot read a single word, ordinary people are not stupid.

It is still possible to tell whether life is getting better or worse.

There are some extremely despicable idiots, and maybe there will be more of them as life gets better.

People have a common psychology, that is, when they are not living well now, they will definitely recall the good times in the past, but memory can be wrong, and people will instinctively blur those memories that make them sad and magnify the happy memories.

But now, the vast majority of ordinary people, even some grassroots officials and small nobles, are not so lowly as to miss the old days.

Although people's memory is often not very good, it is not so bad that these few short years will not make them forget the past.

Although they did not live the good life as described in the legend, it was already a world of difference compared to before.

Even though the three neighboring kingdoms were in chaos, the Qin Dynasty could still remain peaceful and sound. This was something that would never have happened in the past in Yan and Zhao, and it was something that the people of Yan and Zhao could hardly imagine.

In such troubled times, being able to avoid war can be said to be an extreme luxury.

Since King Yuan of Zhou ascended the throne and the Warring States Period began, more than 240 years have passed. There have been more than 230 recorded wars of varying sizes, with more than 2.4 million soldiers killed. Countless people have been displaced and their families destroyed due to the wars.

During the Warring States Period, the ratio of civilian deaths to soldier deaths in wars was at least five to one, and could even be as high as twenty to one!

In every war, in addition to the ordinary soldiers who die on the battlefield, there are often countless civilians who die in invisible places.

It is hard to say which is better: starving to death because the government seizes food supplies for the war, or dying on the battlefield.

Tranquility, peace, and stability are the luxuries that people in troubled times desire most but cannot obtain.

And now, Ying Zheng brought it to them.

The people’s hearts can be stabilized.

The lives of the people in Yan, Zhao and Han are getting better and better, and the neighboring Wei and Chu states can also see it.

First of all, it is true.

Secondly,

Ying Zheng will actively spread it!
Daqin is a beacon of civilization and peace, prosperity and tranquility!
When it comes to the importance of public opinion, Ying Zheng always puts it first.

If something is 50% good, you should exaggerate it to be 120% good, and make sure everyone knows about it!

Only in this way, those who are living in dire straits will offer food and drink and line the streets to welcome the Qin Heavenly Army to save them from the dire straits!

If the weapon of public opinion is used well, it can be more powerful than a million troops!

However, although things are gradually merging and everything is improving steadily, it does not mean that everything is going smoothly.

Han and Yan are okay.

South Korea is adjacent to Daqin and can see the changes in Daqin most clearly. In addition, after decades of erosion, Han An is also a sensible person. He actively promotes and cooperates with the Koreans to integrate into Daqin and obey the leadership of the saintly monarch, so the integration is relatively smooth.

Yan State was not so bad, after all, the royal family of Yan State had really lost the support of the people, and the original system of Yan State was too far behind the impact of Qin State. At present, Qin State not only had no ruling benefits in Yan State, but also had been investing in talent and material support, so the people of Yan State could really benefit from it.

Qin and Yan had always been on good terms, without much hatred, and integration was relatively smooth. The main problem was still with the people of Zhao.

It’s still Zhao State.

The hatred of the Battle of Changping has only been going on for thirty years, but this hatred has still not dissipated. This deep hatred that is engraved in the hearts of the people is not so easy to dissipate.

Even though Ying Zheng worked so hard to build his own reputation, he married Ying Xin, made Ying Xin his queen, repeatedly provided assistance to Zhao State in times of disaster, worked with Nian Duan to bring a better life to the people of Zhao, and even accepted the Queen of Zhao to appease the people of Zhao.

However, human beings may forget kindness quickly, but hatred is not so easy to forget.

Nowadays, many people in Zhao still reject the Qin Dynasty in their hearts, even though they are Qin people.

It’s not that I miss the old country. There’s nothing worth missing in the old country. I just simply reject it.

They will not rebel, but this passive attitude itself is a hidden danger, and will greatly hinder the progress of integration into the Qin Dynasty. Some people may even become weapons of those who are secretly planning rebellion.

Especially Daidi.

The people of Yandai are tough and half-agricultural and half-pastoral, and are relatively independent under the management of Li Mu all year round.

Li Mu was killed, and they hated the Zhao royal family, but that didn't mean they liked the Qin royal family.

In their view, one cannot write two Zhaos with the same stroke; Qin and Zhao are one family, birds of a feather.

The land of Yandai was the least enthusiastic about integrating into the Qin Dynasty.

If we just rely on the power of time, it will take too long.

In this regard, the opportunity that Ying Zheng has been expecting is about to arrive.

After a slap in the face, there is a sweet date. Now that I have given enough dates, I need a big slap in the face.

If you haven't been beaten, you don't know how hard it is to have a happy life.

Of course, Ying Zheng cannot give a slap in the face. If he does, it will be even more detrimental to integration.

It depends on the weather.

Only in the face of a survival crisis, in pain and disaster, will people forget hatred more quickly.

Only by providing timely assistance can we achieve the best results.

The hearts of the people are like water. How to gain and control them is an art. Simply being nice to people is not enough.

Water flow needs to be guided so as not to cause disaster, and it needs to be guided so as to become a help.

This opportunity is finally here. As long as it is handled well, the people of Zhao will no longer have any feelings of rejection.

Ying Zheng only cared about a good reputation; he was not worried at all about a bad reputation.

Having a good reputation is extremely important. Ying Zheng understood this truth very well. With a good reputation, one can often achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Even if it is, it is like having wings on a tiger when it comes to winning a woman's heart.

Just like the pure heart and pure moon now.

Su Xin Jing Yue stayed alone in Su Jin Palace with the windows wide open. She supported her pretty face with her bare hands and looked out the window expressionlessly. Her vulgar figure was clearly visible under the wide palace robe, and her voluptuous and full breasts were still attractive under the palace dress, attracting people's attention at the first sight.

The moonlight is dimly reflected by the sparse plum blossoms outside the window. It is just like the mood of the beautiful woman at this moment. Her face is emotionless, and she can't see joy or pain, but her heart is uncertain, with light and dark spots, and she is worried about gains and losses.

It has been more than half a year since she entered the palace, and she has not had much time to see Ying Zheng. The few times she has seen him, it was only in public places with many people around. Su Xin Jing Yue, who was trembling with fear in her heart, did not dare to say much. She just found a place where she tried not to attract anyone's attention and stood there quietly.

However, a beauty like her would stand out from the crowd wherever she goes, and it would be impossible for her not to attract attention.

But her body is like green bamboo and her face is like frost, which makes people afraid to get close to her.

This caused people in the palace to talk about it privately. This stunning Taoist fairy was truly as pure and cool as a fairy, and she did not belong to the mortal world.

Of course, now that time has passed, some people have begun to laugh at her, saying that this Taoist fairy is too aloof and cold, which is why the king doesn't want to get close to her.

She has been in the palace for so long, but she still cannot receive the king’s favor.

Su Xin Jing Yue was so aggrieved that she almost cried in private. God have mercy on her. She would never treat the king coldly in private. It was really that the king would not even come!
Su Xin Jing Yue really has no confidence at all now, and she can't help but doubt in her heart, is it because she looks unapproachable that the king really dislikes her?
But that’s not the case. The king knew that he was afraid of people, and the way the king looked at him before did not show that he was uninterested.

Su Xin Jing Yue didn't really care about some rumors. She felt quite comfortable and at peace in the palace by herself. Except for some necessary occasions, she didn't need to go out.

But after being in the palace for so long, he hasn't even had a chance to sleep with his wife. This is really unbelievable, and Su Xin Jing Yue feels very resentful.

Moreover, the more you don't want to think about many things, the more they linger in your mind.

For more than half a year, Su Xin Jing Yue couldn't help but think of her encounter with Ying Zheng on the day she first entered the palace, and the embarrassing yet intoxicating intimacy between them.

She had grown up and since she was eleven years old, she had no physical contact with anyone except her mother, not even her father.

In addition, she was afraid of socializing and didn't want to go out. She met very few people and had never been close to a man. Suddenly, she was intimate with a man she didn't dislike, especially a man she was sure would be her man. The wonderful feeling was really unforgettable for her.
