Chapter 217

In Zhangtai Palace, although it was daytime, the palace was deep and dark, and the lights that never went out day and night were still lit, flickering between the lights.

Seeing Ying Zheng's low voice sounded, "That day in Xinzheng, you analyzed the situation of the world for me and pointed out the advantages of our Qin Guo. Right now, the Zheng Guoqu is about to be completed, and there will be ten thousand hectares of fertile land in Guanzhong out of thin air. Because the sowing season has passed this year, the war of destroying the nation can start as early as the year after next!"

For the Zheng Guoqu, Seeing Ying Zheng originally did not pay much attention to it.

Although it was a major project that started construction at the beginning of his succession, at that time, the project was led by Lu Buwei. Although Seeing Ying Zheng also agreed, it was just a formality. He had not yet taken power at that time, and this water conservancy project had little to do with him. Later, it was discovered that the Zheng Guoqu was the "fatigue Qin plan" implemented by the Han State. This project was once stopped. Although it continued because of a word from Zheng Guo, Seeing Ying Zheng did not pay too much attention to it.

Until the battle of Xinzheng, from Su Xuan's mouth, he learned the strategic value of the Zheng Guoqu.

After defeating Lu Buwei and officially taking charge of state affairs, he sent people to send him detailed information about the Zheng Guoqu for the first time and personally studied the Zheng Guoqu. Seeing Ying Zheng realized that Su Xuan really didn't lie. If the Zheng Guoqu is completed, its strategic value is indeed extraordinary.

Although the Qin Guo possessed granaries like those in Shu, the grain from Shu alone was still not enough to support the Qin Guo in a war of destroying the nation. If Guanzhong also became a huge granary not inferior to Shu, with the support of these two major granaries, the Qin Guo would not have to worry about grain and grass when destroying other countries.

And what made him even more excited was that the Zheng Guoqu was almost completed. Today, it could be completed, and it could be put into use by the end of the year.

After completing the sowing next spring, if the year is okay, autumn will be a time of great harvest, so as early as the year after next, he can tentatively conduct a war of destroying the nation.

It seems that waiting until the year after next requires waiting for a long time.

But you must know, this is a war of destroying the nation.

Since the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, although many countries have been swallowed by powerful countries, since the seven countries stood side by side, the situation of these seven major countries fighting has been maintained for many years, and no one has ever broken this situation.

At the same time, in order to resist the powerful Qin Guo, they also conducted several alliances.

Once the Qin Guo launches a war of destroying the nation, after destroying any country, it will make the Qin Guo the target of the other several countries, and the crisis of destroying the nation will force those countries to unite.

Therefore, more preparations must be made.

"Since the Qin Wang has made plans, have you ever thought about what name to use to destroy the six countries?" Su Xuan asked Seeing Ying Zheng lightly.

"Is there a saying for this?" Seeing Ying Zheng asked Su Xuan for advice.

Su Xuan said lightly, "Since the Spring and Autumn period, rites have collapsed and music has broken down. Large countries swallow small countries, occupying their land and people. For hundreds of years, I don't know how many small countries have been destroyed. So, I want to know, is the Qin Guo also prepared to do this when destroying the six countries?"

"Is this inappropriate?" Seeing Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly.

"It's not that it's inappropriate, but if the Qin Wang wants to unify the world and establish an unprecedented unified country, then you should look further."

"The war of destroying the nation is not to occupy the land of other countries and plunder their people, but to turn all the land and people belonging to the six countries into the possession of the Qin Guo. After the six countries are destroyed, there will be no more people of the six countries; there will only be the people of the Qin Guo!"

"Before the war of destroying the nation, the Qin Wang must understand this point. If you don't understand this point, after the six countries are destroyed, you will still treat the people of the six countries as remnants of the six countries, treat the Qin people well, be harsh to the people of the six countries, and treat them differently. In the long run, it will inevitably make them resentful... This is not conducive to the stability of the Qin Guo after unification."

"Even, if the Qin Guo falls into crisis, they may rise up at any time under the call of some ambitious people to restore the six countries!"

Seeing Ying Zheng subconsciously wanted to say, "How dare they?"

But the words stopped at his lips.

After all, the war of destroying the nation has not yet been carried out, but Su Xuan's words do have some truth.

What he wants to establish is a unified country, not like the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, just simply plundering the cities and people of other countries to support his own country.

If the world is unified, there will be no more six countries. At that time, if you treat the Qin people and the remnants of the six countries differently, it is equivalent to telling them that the six countries have not yet been destroyed, which will inevitably make them develop a heart of resistance.

Even if Seeing Ying Zheng believes that even if ambitious people want to resist the Qin Guo and restore the six countries at that time, he can easily suppress them.

But this is ultimately a hidden danger.

"Mr. Su, rest assured, after destroying the six countries, the people of the six countries will all be the people of my Great Qin. I will treat them equally. Of course, if the people of the six countries do not abide by the laws of my Qin Guo, I will not be lenient!"

Hearing this, Su Xuan actually wanted to say a few more words.

For example, the laws of the six countries are loose, while the Qin laws are harsh. Wanting the people of the six countries to abide by the laws of the Qin Guo is in itself an uncomfortable thing for them. In the long run, it will probably breed their dissatisfaction.

But such words are a bit inappropriate at the moment.

After all, the reason why the Qin Guo was able to destroy the six countries is precisely because the Qin laws are strict. This is not allowed, that is not allowed, which is equivalent to training the whole people into soldiers who perform their duties, turning the entire Qin Guo into a war machine.

If you really want to change the law, you have to wait until the war is over, not now.

However, there is one thing that can be said now.

Su Xuan added, "If you really want to eliminate the hatred of the people of the six countries, why wait until after destroying the six countries? Actually, you can do it now."
