In his eyes, the subjects and common people are definitely not ants or slaves.

Just like the Qin Mausoleum project, he abolished the sacrificial burial system and replaced it with firing pottery figurines.

The burial of living people is a very cruel system in the slave society. Some people are buried alive, and some are buried with them after being killed or committing suicide.Beginning in the Shang Dynasty and continuing until the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, it was abolished. Kings of all dynasties had the tradition of martyrdom.

You must know that before the unification of Yingzheng, it was still a slave society. Qin Shihuang was still able to use pottery figurines instead of human martyrs, but none of the successive kings in the next 2000 years could do this. From this point, it shows that in "human rights" On the one hand, Qin Shihuang Yingzheng was 2000 years ahead of the subsequent kings.

This is what Li Yang admires the most, and it also allows Li Yang to see the hope that the seeds of human rights and democracy can be slowly planted during the Qin Reform.

Of course, Qin Shihuang in history, because he died on the east tour, did not have time to explain what happened behind him, so in history, Qin Ershi Hu Hai, because he was the emperor who usurped the throne, in order to show his love for his father, he still went down. Issued a brutal and inhuman burial order.

According to historical records, after the death of Qin Shihuang, the number of people who died for him was so large that it is rare in history.Qin Shihuang died in the 37th year of the first emperor. Qin II issued an edict saying: "The first emperor's harem had no sons, and it is not appropriate to go out. All are ordered to die." All concubines and concubines in the harem who did not have children were buried, so there were many who followed the deceased.Moreover, in order to prevent the craftsmen who built the Qin Mausoleum from divulging the secrets of the Qin Mausoleum, the craftsmen were put to death. It is estimated that there will be tens of thousands of people buried for him in the tomb of Qin Shihuang.

Of course, all of this violated Qin Shihuang's original intention.

Now, the second Qin Hu Hai who was able to kill all his brothers and sisters in history has been exiled to the people. Li Yang believes that this kind of tragedy will never happen again.

In fact, the craftsmen who built the Qin Mausoleum are absolutely safe.Because the Qin Mausoleum has been built for nearly ten years, the servants and craftsmen have changed batch after batch, and there are at least a million people who know the location of the Qin Mausoleum. Could it be possible to kill them all?

Obviously, this is unrealistic.

Moreover, Yingzheng was unwilling to kill people and be buried at the beginning, so he ordered people to prepare tens of thousands of mercury, in order to pour mercury into the underground palace after his death, so that no one would dare to dig his grave. up.

In fact, his approach is extremely correct. After 2000 years, even in the 21st century, the level of technology is so advanced, it is because of the large amount of mercury poured into the underground palace, no one dared to touch the underground palace in his main tomb.

May I ask, can Li Yang not admire such an emperor with postmodern "human rights" awareness?

Seeing Li Yang's respectful eyes, Ying Zheng thought he was touched by the honor of being with the underground palace, and said with a smile: "It's my luck to meet Qing, as long as Qing lives up to me, in this great Qin country, Qing and Qing will be together." I will watch it underground together for a thousand years."

"........."

Li Yang suddenly had a feeling that Qin Shihuang was cursing himself that he would die with him.

He smiled, and immediately expressed his sincerity, and said: "I will never fail Your Majesty."

"Okay, haha!"

Yingzheng laughed happily, and then said with concern: "By the way, you have made great contributions to this famine issue, and it is obvious to all the government and the public. For the rest of the chaos, I will send Zhang Han and others Let's go."

Li Yang was startled, and quickly asked, "Why did your Majesty change?"

"Squeezing chaos is not governing the country, how can I let you take risks?"

Ying Zheng was not willing to let Li Yang go to war, especially if he took 500 people to fight. It would be a huge loss for such a rare genius in governing the country to fall under the knife of thieves.

In Ying Zheng's heart, Li Yang's value was more than a million cavalry.

Now that the six kingdoms have been leveled, talents for governing the country are more important than military talents, and those tens of thousands of rebels, why let Li Yang take risks?

However, Li Yang disagreed, this bullshit was blown out in front of civil and military officials in the main hall a few days ago, how could he give up, isn't the truth shameless?

What's more, I also promised Han Xin to give him this opportunity to prove himself.

Immediately, Li Yang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you don't need to worry about this minister. In this battle, I will be careful and will not easily get involved in danger."

Ying Zheng saw that he was unwilling to give up, so he had no choice but to say: "Then I will transfer your [-] troops from Meng Tian's frontier army!"

Li Yang was moved in his heart, but he still shook his head: "Thank you, Your Majesty, but since I said in the palace that day that 500 people should be used to quell the chaos, then only 500 people will be used. If Your Majesty really gives the minister an army of [-], then the chaos will be settled." , It is also a joke for the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty."

Ying Zheng was speechless.

Glancing at the confident Li Yang, he couldn't help but frown and said, "Are you really able to quell the chaos with 500 people?"

Li Yang smiled: "Your Majesty has never seen a minister bragging!"

Ying Zheng: "..."

Chapter 1: Using Business to Help the People

The project bidding is still going on as scheduled...

Dozens of sessions are held every day, and all bidding projects are expected to be completed within ten days.

After the first day of the bidding conference, the businessmen who won the engineering projects began to implement the matter of hiring labor.

Each family took this matter as a top priority, and distributed it to the branches of commercial firms in various counties and counties of Daqin, and recruited labor victims across the country to send them to their respective construction sites.

After receiving the instructions from the headquarters, the branches of the commercial firms in the cities of the counties posted the announcements on the hiring of laborers. In a short time, the action of hiring laborers spread rapidly from Xianyang City to the whole country.

Countless victims of the disaster were sent to the construction site by branches of commercial companies in various counties.

All families with laborers, the elderly and the weak received the money and food prepaid by the merchants in advance. Although the prepaid money and food were very small, for the famine victims, this was life-saving rations.

Wherever the announcement of hiring labor goes, the victims of the disaster will be exhausted within a few days!

More and more businesses bid successfully, and the announcement of hiring labor spread to farther counties...

All of a sudden, the entire Great Qin Empire was filled with teams of laborers, who were sent to various construction sites under the organization of merchants.Especially in the Great Wall area, looking around, at the foot of the Great Wall, from all directions of the country, there is a team of disaster victims coming in mighty force, it is so spectacular!

In a county with severe famine.

A man rushed home with a bag of chestnut rice.

While weeping, he shouted to his wife at home: "Ma'am, we have food, we have food, we don't need to go hungry!"

I saw a three-year-old child lying next to a woman beside the bed in the house, half-conscious because of starvation.And he was holding a half-year-old baby in his arms, and the baby was crying because there was no milk. The woman worriedly called the elder son who had entered a semi-comatose state, and at the same time comforted the hungry and crying baby, shaking After beating the elder son a few times, but he didn't wake up, the woman began to cry, the helpless tears were heartbreaking.

The husband rushed in. Seeing this scene, he quickly lit a fire to cook porridge, while comforting his wife: "Ma'am, the porridge is cooking, the porridge is cooking, our son will be fine, it will be fine."

While comforting his wife, the man tried his best to light the fire while wiping away his tears.

The wife calmed down a little, and then hurriedly helped light the fire, asking, "Where does this rice come from?"

The man pointed in the direction of the city, and said, "Daqin sent merchants to rescue us. As long as we go to the Great Wall to work, they will prepay us with money and food. We are all saved, and we will be fine."

After hearing this, the wife was overwhelmed with surprise and cried happily again, holding the baby in her arms, hugging and weeping with her husband...

This scene is by no means a single case, but has been staged in every household in various parts of Daqin.

Countless disaster victims, holding the prepaid money and food handed over by businessmen, all shed tears of emotion.

Some people even knelt down, looked at Xianyang and worshiped, shouting that the first emperor will live forever, and the prime minister will live forever.

Because, everyone has heard that this is a disaster relief strategy that the first emperor ordered the prime minister to come up with.

In the past, when the people encountered disasters, all countries sent troops to suppress them, but now, the First Emperor, with the life and death of the people in mind, sent businessmen from all over the country to fight the disaster and gave them a way out.

How can such a benevolent king not let the people of the world kneel down and thank him?
