Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 315 Innovation Chapter Zhou Chong Discusses Politics ([-])

"Tell me, tell me, what's the problem, what should I do next?" King Qin led Zhou Chong, Wei Liao, Han Fei, Li Si, Gan Luo, Wang Ao, Wang Jian, Meng Wu, Nei Shiteng and other consultants. He ordered the minister to go back to the study, and he started to question after entering the door with his right foot, and said: "In my opinion, the reunification of the world is a major event, since Pangu opened the world, but it doesn't mean that you can sit back and enjoy it. We don't need to do anything. According to the widow, we still have a lot of things to do, so the widow wants to hear your opinion, and you can say whatever comes to your mind. Zhao Gao, come, help the widow get rid of the clothes."

Zhao Gao responded, came over and took off the armor and weapons King Qin wore for hunting, and retreated obediently.

If it were another person, after receiving the news of the Great Victory in Lingnan, he would definitely think that nothing would happen from now on, and he could sit back and enjoy the success, but King Qin didn't think so. Everyone was heartbroken, especially Zhou Chong, who admired King Qin's long-term thinking from the bottom of his heart.

The Qin Dynasty existed for a very short time, but the unified pattern created by Qin Shihuang has been handed down. It has been more than 2000 years, and it still exists, and it will exist in the future. It is the crystallization of King Qin's vision!

Conquering the territory is only the first step in unification. There are still many things to do. A series of unification measures must be taken to consolidate the achievements. After listening to King Qin's words, Zhou Chong can't help but admire, and he said sincerely: " Zhou Chong is very grateful for Wang Shang's sage!"

"Mr. Zhou, like Mr. Liaozi, you seldom say nice things. Today you also said nice things. No matter what you say is true or not, everyone is very happy." Qin Wang said with a smile.

Zhou Chong explained: "Your Majesty, what Zhou Chong said is all the truth. Please think about it, Your Majesty, under the rule of your Majesty, Great Qin fought against the remnants of the previous generations, wiped out the six kingdoms, attacked the Xiongnu in the north, and flattened Baiyue in the south. , China's territory stretches from the desert in the north, the seashore in the south, Bashu in the west, and the coast of the East China Sea in the east. The territory of thousands of miles is all in Daqin. This is a major event that has never been overfulfilled since Pangu opened the world. Although Yu, Shang Tang, and King Wenwu of Zhou are known as saints, the China under their governance is only a small area as large as the Central Plains, but it is only a thousand miles away, and it is less than eleventh compared with the current Great Qin.

"Such a feat has never existed in ancient times. It was pioneered by the king. When the success was achieved, the first thing the king thought of was not how to celebrate or how to add a title to himself, but to deal with the problems that would arise when the world was unified. Wang Zhou Chong would not have admired him for being so attentive."

As soon as Zhou Chong's words fell, Wei Liao took over and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, Liaozi also thinks so. With such a great achievement, such a great event has never happened before. If the King adds a title to himself, he will celebrate it. It's also a matter of reason, no one can say anything, but the king's first thought is how to deal with the problem instead of celebrating the victory, if Liaozi is not convinced!"

Han Fei stammered, "Your Majesty, Han Fei also agrees with what Mr. Zhou and Mr. Liaozi said, that's why!"

Li Si was not to be outdone, and said: "Your Majesty does not talk about achievements first, but questions first. This is indeed an admirable thing. Looking at the changes from ancient to modern times, when a king of great achievements achieves success, Always congratulate, King Wu of Zhou succeeded in defeating Zhou, put his swords and guns into the warehouse, and put his horses on Nanshan, which showed the world is peaceful, but the Zhou family has never had peace in the world, and the world has been fighting for 800 years. But he didn't think of the problems it brought, and the king thinks of the problems first, even if the minister refuses to submit."

Qin Wang waved his hand to interrupt Wang Jian and the others who were about to speak, and said: "Okay, okay, I want to listen to your opinions, and I want you to give advice on how to deal with the next thing. I'm not here to listen to your flattery. Don't talk about it. You, Mr. Zhou, are the same. I want to talk about the problem, but you talk about it nicely. It goes against my wishes. This matter must be punished. What do you think is good about punishing Mr. Zhou?"

Zhou Chong took the blame and said: "Zhou Chong is guilty, please punish him, Your Majesty."

Prince Qin nodded and said: "Punishment is certain. I will punish Mr. Zhou for asking at least ten questions. Mr. Zhou, tell me."

Zhou Chong's views are different from others', and his views are very novel, maybe he has a whimsical idea, everyone is listening intently.

King Qin punished himself like this, but Zhou Chong didn't expect it. Then he thought that he had many problems to remind King Qin. Isn't it the right time for him to tell himself that the trend of Chinese history is here, so he must not miss it.With a certain idea, Zhou Chong said slowly: "Your Majesty, Zhou Chong thinks that the most important thing right now is to celebrate the victory!"

His face sank, King Qin pointed at Zhou Chong and said, "Mr. Zhou, I want you to talk about the problem, not the credit, this doesn't count."

Zhou Chong did not rush, and said: "Please allow Zhou Chong to finish his words for a moment. Zhou Chong thinks that the reunification of the world will have a great impact. Even if the king doesn't care about credit, the common people and soldiers may not care. They followed the king to fight north and south, begging from east to west, fighting to the death, and when they are successful, if they don’t celebrate, they will easily complain.”

There is a saying that goes, "Adversity is easy, wealth is difficult." The reason is that there is no conflict of interest between each other in times of adversity, so it is easy to get along with each other.When it comes to sharing wealth and wealth, you have your interests, and he has his interests. It is easy to have conflicts of interest, and it is difficult to have no conflicts.The reunification of the world is such a great achievement, wouldn't those soldiers who followed King Qin to conquer the world not want to receive some credit?
The enemy is easy to handle, just dispatch troops to destroy it.But for the heroes, the problem is even bigger, they cannot fight, and if they don't reward them for their meritorious service, who would sacrifice their lives for King Qin, and who would be willing to fight on the battlefield?
Zhou Chong's idea is not so much a celebration, but a way to appease the hearts of the heroes. This is indeed a top priority, Wei Liao nodded and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhou's words are very true, and Liaozi also thinks so."

Li Si, a man of utilitarianism, with bright eyes, said: "My lord, what Mr. Zhou said is very true. If the officials follow the king to fight the world, if they don't reward them, they will be hard to convince people. Rewards and punishments are the foundation of the Great Qin, please Your majesty, appease the ministers as soon as possible."

Zhou Chong's original intention was to ask the King of Qin to appease the heroes, and he didn't want the King of Qin to reward the heroes. It would be difficult for Li Si to join Zhou Chong, as if Zhou Chong was asking for title, which is a big taboo. The cold reception and even decapitation of the heroes of the past dynasties was caused by the arrogance of taking credit. Zhou Chong quickly clarified: "Your Majesty, Zhou Chong means that the most important thing is to appease the heroes. As long as the officials know that they will be rewarded for meritorious service, as long as they have meritorious service, they will not fail to reward, and this can stabilize the situation."

"Don't worry, those who have meritorious service will be rewarded! You don't have to worry about it." Qin Wang remained calm.

Hearing his tone, he already believed that Zhou Chong said this because he was asking for a reward. This is the most taboo among taboos, and it is not impossible to kill Zhou Chong's head. Zhou Chong was secretly frightened, and really wanted to scold Li Si.
