If the Great Wall stops being repaired, the Xiongnu will invade, who will resist?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"If the Great Wall stops being repaired, thousands or tens of thousands of Xiongnu people arrive at the border, grab and run, how can they be blocked?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The Great Wall cannot stop being repaired, Zhang Liang, stop making trouble here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Liang ignored Li Si and bowed to Ying Su: \"Your Majesty, I don't know if you have been to the border, and I don't know if you know how bitter it is to build the Great Wall!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"But... what I want to say is, I have seen it, many people are already unable to eat their fill, and some can't even eat!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Even... there are many, many people who already want to rebel!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Do you know why there are no incidents of rebellion yet? Because there are ten thousand Qin troops there to suppress it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"But... I want to ask Your Majesty, how long can the suppression of these ten thousand Qin troops last?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The resentment of the people is getting deeper and deeper, and when it accumulates to a certain extent, it will definitely explode!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"And once it accumulates to the point of being about to explode, this monstrous resentment is a pile of dry firewood, and at this time, you don't even need any sparks, even if the sun's temperature is slightly higher, this pile of dry firewood might spontaneously ignite!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"And once it burns, it won't just burn a little, but will show a spreading trend. It is no exaggeration to say that there are as many people building the Great Wall as there are people who will oppose Qin in the future!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The whole world opposing Qin is definitely not an empty word!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Therefore, the top priority is that the Great Wall must stop being repaired, and we need to give the people peace first. After the people are peaceful, and after the people are wealthy, then we can talk about repairing the Great Wall!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Moreover, even if we repair the Great Wall, we must not be in a hurry; we need two or even three generations of Emperors to repair it slowly, so that it will not accumulate resentment!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"As for the Epang Palace, it is the same!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Zhang Liang is not talented, but I have seen the drawings of the Epang Palace!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Forgive Zhang Liang for speaking bluntly, it is too big; just laying the foundation requires six hundred thousand people for three years!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Even to this day, this foundation has not been completed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"May I ask Your Majesty, is such a huge palace, just to show the grandeur of the Great Qin Imperial Palace, really worth it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"All the people of the world suffer and work hard, unable to eat their fill and unable to keep warm, just to build a huge palace for the Emperor. Do you think this will really not accumulate resentment?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Perhaps the Great Wall is open to discussion, but... if the Great Qin really wants to be rich and strong, the Epang Palace must stop being built, at least, it must stop being built now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"If you really want to build it, you need to wait until the Great Wall, the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, Dujiangyan, and the Zheng Guo Canal are all completed, and then move to the Epang Palace, or, don't build the Epang Palace, and expand the Xianyang Palace directly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"In this way, you can also show the majesty and grandeur of the Great Qin Imperial Palace!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Liang said as he bowed to Ying Su.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And for these words of Zhang Liang, does Ying Su agree?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>To be honest, he doesn't want to agree!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Because... this is already completely scolding Ying Zheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Especially in the matter of the Epang Palace, it simply scolded Ying Zheng to the point of being unrecognizable!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>One must know, Ying Zheng has boasted about the Epang Palace more than once.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But now, it has been belittled so unbearably by Zhang Liang!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However... some things, it's not that he doesn't want to agree that he can not agree!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Because... the ending of the Great Qin was already clearly written in the history books.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The second year after the First Emperor died, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled, and in just a few months, they gathered hundreds of thousands of ordinary people.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Immediately after, rebel armies were everywhere in the world!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xiang Yu and Liu Bang followed the trend to oppose Qin.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And shouted that slogan that has been passed down through the ages!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The world has suffered from Qin for a long time!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In less than a year after the rebel armies of the world rose, the Great Qin Empire, which had been magnificent for a time, collapsed suddenly!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And the source of all this was the so-called Great Wall, Epang Palace, and the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It's just that, as a modern person, he couldn't fail to understand how great the significance of building the Great Wall was!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He also understood what the Epang Palace represented!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As for the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum... to be honest, the whole world cursed the tyrannical Qin, and most of them cursed the Great Wall and the Epang Palace, but no one cursed the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Why is this?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At first, Ying Su didn't understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But later he understood, because in this era, everyone would build their tombs beautifully!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Everyone, as long as they had money, would arrange their tombs in advance!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And as the First Emperor, his mausoleum should be big enough and grand enough, so no one thought there was anything wrong with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Everyone thought it was reasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Therefore, no matter how grand Ying Zheng built the mausoleum and how many people he used, no one cursed Ying Zheng because of this!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Even Sima Qian, the Great Qin's number one black fan, didn't curse Ying Zheng in the Records of the Grand Historian because of the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But having said that, the Epang Palace can stop being built, but does the Great Wall really need to stop being repaired?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ying Su was pondering, but this matter was too big, and he didn't want to make a decision hastily, so he asked Zhang Liang: \"If my Great Qin wants to be rich and strong, is it enough to just stop repairing the Great Wall?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Uh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Liang was startled, then bowed: \"Impossible!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ying Su nodded and said: \"Then continue, today is to raise problems, not to solve them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Put all the problems out first, and then we will slowly sort them out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Liang bowed: \"Obey!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After slightly organizing his thoughts, he continued: \"I believe that if the Great Qin wants to be rich and strong, there are three things that must be done!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The first is to stop repairing the Great Wall and stop building the Epang Palace!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Saving these two huge projects can return peace to the people!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"But... just stopping the repair of the Great Wall and returning peace to the people is still not enough!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Because, even so, the people cannot be peaceful, and the reason for this has to be mentioned in the second point!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The Qin law is harsh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The Qin law is too harsh. The First Emperor Ying Zheng, to prevent the people of the world from rebelling, actually forbade the people from using kitchen knives freely; ten households share one kitchen knife!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"If one person breaks the law, the whole village is implicated!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"This looks like the whole world has no space to rebel, but... Your Majesty, don't forget, everyone is human, and even ordinary people need freedom. Even the official control of a kitchen knife is so strict, will this really not arouse resentment?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Of course, if everyone were like this, and everyone had to abide by the Qin law, that would be fine. But... has Your Majesty not paid attention to it? The slogan of the Great Qin is that princes who break the law are punished the same as commoners, but what is the reality?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The reality is... if an Assistant County Magistrate breaks the law, it is impossible to be punished the same as a commoner, let alone those high-ranking nobles!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Worrying about scarcity rather than inequality, this is human nature, and it is also common sense. Since it is impossible to make everyone abide by the Qin law, why not relax the Qin law and not be so harsh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Such a harsh Qin law is completely roasting the whole world on a fire, and in such roasting, who wouldn't want to escape this furnace?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Likewise, it is still the same sentence, if the Qin law is not relaxed, the whole world opposing Qin will no longer be an empty word!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Liang continued to speak and continued to bow!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And these words once again poked Li Si's pain point!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At that moment, before Ying Su and Xiao He could speak, he was angry!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He roared at Zhang Liang: \"You are talking nonsense, you keep saying that the people of the Great Qin will oppose Qin because of the harsh laws, but... have you forgotten?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Have you forgotten how prosperous my Great Qin is?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Shang Yang Reform, rule by law, princes who break the law are punished the same as commoners!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Precisely because of this, my Qin State became strong!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Look at your six kingdoms, one by one not seeking progress, even after many reforms, they didn't succeed. Now, you, a person of a destroyed country, actually dare to criticize my Qin law?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Li Si was infinitely angry!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Liang smiled:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The Qin State became strong because of the Shang Yang Reform, but I want to ask you a question, can a country in wartime and a country in peacetime be governed by the same set of systems?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Before the Great Zhou, there were still human sacrifices, and everyone in the world didn't feel there was anything wrong, but why did Zhou Zhou Gongdan have to abolish human sacrifices?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Because... the theory of the Shang Dynasty's Wu Ding period of sacrificing to heaven and earth, heaven blessing the people, is outdated!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"King Zhou of Shang, Di Xin, in order to distinguish the difference between the Son of Heaven and the feudal lords, abolished the qualification of collateral clans to use human sacrifices.
