Daqin started with offering immortal medicine

Only by sending troops to quell the chaos can the most direct effect and deterrent effect be achieved. How could this be a useless effort?

To put it bluntly, this is simply ridiculous!

At this time, especially Zhang Han and other generals, they all sneered at Li Yang's remarks, thinking that Li Yang was completely self-righteous.

As a civil servant who is engaged in legal reform, it is enough to take charge of the legal affairs. You also think you understand the chaos, so you are too confident to say such arrogant and frivolous remarks, right?

If you really know how to put an end to chaos, you wouldn't make such outrageous remarks.

Chapter 89 Make Your Spring and Autumn Dreams

Ying Zheng was also speechless by these words. This Li Yang really speaks amazing words every time. It seems that he can't prove that he is different unless everyone is stunned.

Ying Zheng was speechless, but he wanted to hear more about what tricks Li Yang could come up with, so he asked, "Li Yang, you are so bold that you dare to say that the army can quell the chaos. It's useless! You should talk to me carefully, if you can't make a reason, I won't let you go."

Everyone also nodded and looked at Li Yang. Obviously, if he couldn't say a reason, everyone would attack him in groups.

Li Yang smiled: "Your Majesty, you have wronged me. How dare I speak nonsense. There is indeed a reason why I said that. Has Your Majesty ever thought that this time the rebellion , Why can there be such a momentum, is it really, as they said in the banner, it is against the Qin Dynasty?"

"Obviously, no! Your Majesty is this year, lightening corvee, abolishing continuous sitting, and reforming the law. It can be said that he is doing his best in benevolent governance. Even if the people have no eyes, they know that my Great Qin is not a tyrannical Qin, but a benevolent Qin. The people are also the same. I know that as long as we survive this famine, after the autumn harvest, with this benevolent government ahead, we will live and work in peace and contentment in the future, and we will be extremely happy. However, why do the people still rebel when they know this truth?”

Speaking of this, Li Yang asked himself again: "The root cause is famine. The people have no food. They are like dying in a difficult situation. Only by robbing the official food in the city can they survive."

At this time, Zhang Han said: "Since this is the case, the situation is extremely dangerous, and we should step up the dispatch of troops to quell the chaos. Otherwise, once they become a big trend, the consequences will be even more unimaginable."

Everyone agreed with Zhang Han's words.

However, Li Yang shook his head disapprovingly, and said: "Chaos, of course, cannot be undone. However, it is obviously useless to just send troops to quell the chaos, because together with the war, the people will not live. There are new rioters, and the world is full of famine and refugees, and a single spark of rebels can start a prairie fire, so it is only a vicious circle to put down the chaos by sending troops."

After everyone listened, they also frowned, because what Li Yang said was not completely unreasonable.

In the face of famine, are the people really willing to just sit and wait to starve to death?Obviously, no one is really willing to starve to death. In a desperate situation, as long as there is a shout from the thieves, they will instantly gather into an army. Therefore, it is really not easy to calm down this chaos.

Zhang Han said: "According to what the prime minister said, is it possible to let them make trouble and rebel? I have hundreds of thousands of Daqin cavalry, and I can't finish killing these thieves?"

Li Yang smiled wryly.

As a traveler who has understood the historical process of more than 2000 years, Li Yang knows too well what chaos can be calmed down and what chaos cannot be leveled.

If it is because of the chaos caused by the rise of ideas and regimes, the use of troops can distinguish the victory from the defeat.For example, the princes rebelled, and the people of the world would not join in the rebellion. Therefore, using troops to quell chaos, pointing at the point of the sword, the chaos will be pacified.

However, because of the famine of the common people, the chaos that arises because people in the world have no way to survive will only become more and more chaotic. Everyone is trying to survive. If the government does not release food, they can only grab food.

The reason why the Qin State in history fell was actually for this reason. People all over the world were driven to a dead end. If someone came to play the banner, the people responded one after another.

Although the Qin Shihuang is still alive now, Li Yang also believes that the Qin army will be able to suppress the rebellious army, but...even if they win in the end, so what?

The whole Great Qin has become empty?Are the young and strong working hard to death?

This was the last result that Li Yang wanted to see.

If Qin wants to develop, the population is especially important. If a country has no people, what else can you do?

What's more, since Li Yang chose to be an official in Qin, he had an ideal from the very beginning, that is, he didn't want to see the sons and daughters of Huaxia kill each other.

Because no matter how the dynasties change, it is only those politicians and careerists who ultimately benefit.

For the common people, in a civil war, if they lose, they become cannon fodder; if they win, they are still the low-level common people.

In the long history of more than 2000 years, dynasties have changed countless times, but in the end, the suffering of these low-level people has continued for more than 2000 years and has never changed...

It is precisely because of this that, as an idealist, Li Yang's ambition from the beginning was to build a prosperous and peaceful Great Qin Empire, and to create a series of advanced systems in the future to protect the people's right to life.

The direction of history will always be more progressive, so Li Yang believes that as long as an advanced system is established, even if he dies in the future, the future history will only develop in a more advanced and civilized direction instead of regress.

To put it simply, Li Yang tried every means to shorten the original historical process as much as possible, so that advancement, civilization, and democracy can come earlier.For example, through his efforts, after 500 years, China will have advanced human rights and democracy awareness, or after 800 years, which one thousand years later will China really have human rights and democracy, which also shortens the historical process by 1000 year.

For Li Yang, a time traveler, this is the meaning of his struggle.

After all, as a modern person, since he came to this era by accident, if he only lives for money and power, and has no meaning of struggle in his heart, what is the difference from a salted fish?

Li Yang didn't argue with Zhang Han, and directly said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, send troops to quell the chaos. The more peaceful the more chaos, the symptoms cannot be cured. I suggest that while sending troops to quell the chaos, we must also solve the problem of famine among the people. With both hands in this way, the chaos can be easily subsided."

Ying Zheng nodded. Although he agreed with Li Yang's approach, he said helplessly, "You are right, but the treasury is also short of food. How to solve this famine?"

Li Yang replied: "Right now, only merchants have food to help the disaster."

Yes, although the state of Qin was poor, it wasn't that there was no food left. In fact, the gentry and nobles all had ample food, especially some big businessmen, who were even richer than any other country.

This is why, in history, from the uprising of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in 209 BC to the unification of the Han Dynasty in 202 BC, in seven years, the world was in chaos, but the army still had food and grass to maintain the war. More than half of the reasons were the gentry and nobles There is food.

For example, there are relevant records in the history books. Chen Sheng captured Chen County. A few days later, Chen Sheng ordered the three elders in charge of education and the local gentry to have a meeting.This is actually collecting food and grass from them.

As a result, when Li Yang said this, many people laughed, and Feng Quji said: "Could it be that Prime Minister Zhong thinks that merchants will be willing to help the famine for Great Qin?"

Ying Zheng also shook his head. It is possible to ask businessmen to donate food, but it is impossible for them to donate their family assets. For the current famine in Daqin, donating food is completely a drop in the bucket.

Zhang Han sneered and said: "Since Prime Minister Zhong said so, then he must have his own way to make the merchants shake up the disaster. It's better to let Prime Minister Zhong take care of the chaos. Anyway, I will wait for the warriors. As far as it is concerned, it is just a useless effort, so I will not add trouble to it."

All the generals nodded one after another: "What General Zhang said is very true. I would like to see how Prime Minister Zhong can make businessmen shake up the disaster, and how he can calm down the chaos with ease."

Didn't you say that it is useless for us to send troops to quell the chaos?

Since you're awesome, you might as well go up alone and see how you can smooth out this mess.

At this time, all the generals wanted to see how Li Yang closed the field.

Open mouth, talk nonsense, self-righteous.

He also said that it is useless to send troops, and that merchants are used to help disasters. What he said is so naive and ridiculous!

They didn't believe that Li Yang could really put an end to this chaos with just a word of mouth.With just one mouth, you can support a hundred thousand troops?With just one mouthful, businessmen can voluntarily donate their family assets?It is simply to be your spring and autumn dream!

Chapter 90 Extreme Arrogance

At this moment, not only the generals thought so, but even the courtiers in the palace were watching how Li Yang would accept this situation.

Although everyone has long been used to Li Yang's frivolous and arrogant personality, but now this matter is not like those in the past, which can be resolved with a word of mouth and a flexible mind.

Tens of thousands of anti-thieves rebelled, and now even several county towns have been attacked. If you don’t rely on the army to quell the chaos, can you really use your mouth to deal with those tens of thousands of anti-thieves?Can one person, with one mouth, take back several counties?

It is even more outrageous to ask businessmen to revive disasters.

A few years ago, when the emperor forced a total of 12 powerful households from the six countries to move to Xianyang, the capital, he asked these rich businessmen to donate money to build the Qin Mausoleum, but those rich businessmen, like iron cocks, took For Bashi, the richest man in Qin, he just donated [-] tons of mercury.
