Da Qin: Confucianism, Dharma and Taoism - #232 - Chapter 232
In the Korean palace, Ying Wei, Jing Salamander and Zi Nu are wandering in the forest in the palace.
Although it has already entered winter, there are pine and cypress trees in the palace, which are still green and lush in winter.
Compared with the palace in Xianyang, the Han Palace is more refined and elegant, just like the extravagance of Korean aristocrats.
Zi Nu has some physical inconveniences. Even though she has martial arts to protect herself, the commotion last night made Zi Nu’s waist sore and weak, and she walks a little strangely.
Ying Wei and Jing Salaman also slowed down and walked slowly around the garden with Zi Nu.
From time to time, Zi Nu could see soldiers from the Qin State carrying heavy boxes.
When he arrived in front of the examiner and opened the boxes, he found a dazzling array of jewelry and exquisite bronzes, or dazzling gold plates and gold coins.
The examiner carefully asked which Korean noble’s house these treasures were found from. After some questioning and inspection, they confirmed that the quantity was OK and then they were recorded in the register.
Zi Nu has never seen such a battle before, even she has done it beforeTens of thousands of gold, facing these many rare treasures, he also showed a surprised expression.
Seeing Zi Nu’s surprise, Ying Wei explained:”……Most of the nobles in Korea had their homes confiscated.”
“Since the founding of South Korea nearly two hundred years ago, the wealth accumulated by these nobles from generation to generation is naturally not a small amount.”
“The deceased Jade Tiger was known as the richest businessman in South Korea, with a total wealth of only 100,000 gold, but this wealth was actually nothing compared to the invisible assets of the great nobles.”
Ying Wei said this and walked to a box filled with gold coins. He put his hand into it and picked up a piece of gold coins, letting the shining gold coins slip from his fingers.
Zi Nu thought of Ying Wei The policy issued in South Korea requires all people to report local nobles in South Korea and use this as an excuse to conduct house raids.
Zi Nu was also in awe after hearing this policy. The wealth that Qin State plundered from it was simply uncountable.
Those nobles were unable to resist, Even if he wanted to make trouble, he couldn’t do it.
The 50,000 Korean troops who surrendered were already the last elite troops in South Korea.
And after Ying Wei dispersed the 50,000 Korean troops, he allowed them to join the Qin army and promised them The treatment is the same as that of the Qin army. As long as they perform military merits, they will be rewarded with titles and fields.
In addition to these material wealth, the Korean nobles whose homes were confiscated also had their land deeds taken away by the Qin State, and all the land belonged to the Qin State.
And those who will be in the future Where did the land of the soldiers who made military exploits come from? Naturally, it was divided from these confiscated noble lands.
In the eyes of the Korean troops who have surrendered to Qin, the land of the noble gentlemen is something that should be rewarded to them. Naturally They can’t get along with the nobles in South Korea.
Without the support of the army, the nobles in South Korea have no room for resistance.
Power comes from credit and violence. Without the institution of violence, all power is lost.
Purple Girl I also thought about what Chang’an Jun said yesterday. The Qin State completely suppressed the Qin aristocracy with the joint efforts of all the kings of the past dynasties.
But now, the Korean aristocrats were almost wiped out due to the external force of the Qin State, leaving most of them The land owned by the nobles can be privately transferred to the people.
From this point of view, the Qin army is basically an army of justice. Under this policy, in two or three generations at most, the local people in South Korea will forget South Korea and only know that they are Qin people..
Zi Nu also admired Ying Wei for daring to be the first in the world and completely breaking the old aristocratic system, so that the well field system, or the well slave system, completely lost its market.
When Zi Nu expressed her appreciation, Ying Wei But he laughed and said:”……Zi Nu, you are so complimentary, I feel a little embarrassed.”
“Although I do not regret doing these things, apart from taking the lead in South Korea, after the Qin State destroys the other countries, this kind of thing will be left to others.”
Zi Nu said curiously:”……how so?”
Ying Wei said in a deep tone:”……Lao Tzu once said: I have three treasures: the first is kindness, the second is frugality, and the third is not daring to be the first in the world!”
“The so-called shooting the first bird, my behavior will put myself on the opposite side of the entire old aristocratic system.”
“The centipede is dead but not stiff. The nobles of various countries cannot be completely eliminated in a short time. I have no interest in becoming the flag-bearer and fighting on the front line with those old nobles.”
“When I return to Qin State this time, I will be dormant temporarily. This set of behaviors and theories have been verified, and then I will let others do it. No matter what trouble occurs, what does it have to do with me?”
Zi Nu looked at Ying Wei in surprise and said:”……I saw that your Majesty returned from studying at Xiaoshengxian Manor, and everything he did was consistent with the way of magic.”
“I originally thought that Your Majesty respected Legalism as much as Jiu Gongzi, but after reading the classics written by Your Majesty, I thought that Your Majesty respected the integration of Confucianism and Legalism.”
“But when I saw you today, I discovered that what your Majesty respected was actually Taoist thought.”
Ying Wei suddenly smiled:”……All schools of thought have similarities and compatibility, and there are no specific requirements for which school of thought to be respected.”
“This depends on your own status and environment to decide which school of thought is more suitable for you.”
“Although faith is great, if you believe in one thing and cannot see the situation clearly, you will become stubborn and unable to distinguish between good and bad, and you will be taken advantage of by others.”
Zi Nu admired Ying Wei’s free and easy look. She is the kind of person who doesn’t want to be restrained and doesn’t like to follow rules.
She looked at the rare treasures again and asked:”……Are all these wealth going to be taken to Qin?”
Ying Wei didn’t hide it from her, but winked at Zi Nu and said:”……I have already rewarded part of this to those Qin troops. Otherwise, where do you think they will get the money to go to women’s bags?”
“Soldiers are under a lot of pressure. This kind of pressure is always accumulated, and they must find opportunities to vent it.”
“However, when the pressure accumulates to a certain level, there is likely to be a slight disturbance, which will cause chaos to occur.”
The era of cold weapons is not as good as hot weapons. The fighting on the battlefield is all done with knives, and the pressure involved is naturally ridiculous.
As a royal soldier, Ying Wei cannot pretend not to see it. Let the army rob the people.
Unless it is absolutely necessary, let alone massacre the city.
So under the huge pressure, finding women is the easiest way to relieve the pressure.
Anyway, the girls of the female concubine receive guests, and those who are The elite Qin soldiers who were rewarded by Yingwei will also spend money, and then go to the female village to collect taxes. Won’t the economy flow?
“In addition to the rewards given to the sergeants, I also kept some of the more fertile lands of the Korean royal family for myself.”
“I will withhold part of the confiscated wealth and transport the rest back to Qin.”
Ying Wei didn’t mean to hide anything at all, he just told Zi Nu about his plan.
To Ying Wei in the future, this can be regarded as self-destruction. Being greedy for money and lust is always a good idea.
Zi Nu couldn’t help laughing and said:”……The best thing you can do is be honest.”
Her words were not mocking, but more funny.
Ying Wei shrugged and said:”……There is no way, even if I make a lot of money every day, I will not have trouble with money.”
“There will be many places to spend money in the future. Whether it is the intelligence organization of Coinclothes Guest or the Purple Orchid Pavilion that will open in the seven countries in the future, it will all cost money.”
“Those who ransacked homes actually kept some for themselves. As long as they didn’t go too far, I would turn a blind eye. If they went too far, I would kill the chickens to scare the monkeys and let others know that greed should be tempered.”
“If you don’t leave any benefits to your subordinates, why should they be loyal to you and do their best for you?”
Ying Wei has always understood that there cannot be no honest officials in this world, but it cannot be all honest people. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!) When the water is clear, there will be no fish, but when people are careful, there will be no fish. Wutu!
Zi Nu didn’t hear anything else, she just heard the words”Purple Orchid Pavilion opened in the Seven Kingdoms”, and she immediately smiled and said:”……This is what Junshang said. From now on, all the funds for opening Zilanxuan will come from Junshangsuo.”
Ying Wei laughed loudly and said:”……This is easy to handle and can make Zi Nu happy, so what’s the point of spending all this money?”
Ying Wei has always understood that Zi Nu didn’t open Purple Orchid Pavilion just to make money. If she was doing business in the seven countries, wouldn’t she make more money? The reason why she opened Purple Orchid Pavilion was to provide food to those poor people in this war-torn era. I want to give girls a way to survive, but I don’t want them to really fall into prostitution.
This sounds strange. It is obviously to give them a way to survive, but it has the intention of forcing girls into prostitution and letting girls enter the female household.
But there is nothing that can be done. , except for places like this, where else do we need these ordinary women in this era?
Therefore, Zi Nu just tried her best to turn Zi Lanxuan into a business club.
For Ying Wei, spending some money to let Zi Nu pursue her dream is not a big deal What’s more,
Zilanxuan has a larger initial investment, but it will be profitable after operation. Zinu cannot do such a large amount of initial investment, but Yingwei has sufficient funds to do it.
Listen Zi Nu’s heart was touched by Ying Wei’s assurance. This man really gave her everything to him. Zi Nu had no regrets because he was worthy of trust. At this time, a guard came to report:”……Your Majesty, the Ninth Young Master Han Fei wishes to see you.”
Ying Wei was a little surprised. He didn’t know why Han Fei came to see him, so he immediately said:”……Bring him to the temple.”
Immediately, Ying Wei said to Zi Nu again:”……It’s cold outside. Let’s go back to the house first and see what’s going on with Han Fei.”
Zi Nu smiled narrowly:”……He still owes me a debt.”
Ying Wei said immediately:”……I will force him to pay back the money. If he can’t, I will force him to sell himself. I think there must be many good men like Longyang. The Ninth Young Master has fine skin and tender flesh, so some people will definitely like him.”
Zi Nu snorted, and the flower branches trembled with amuse. Even the surprised salamander, who had been protecting Ying Wei, raised the corners of his mouth and showed a smile.
