Chapter 1: Emperor Qin Shi Huang (1)
The spring events of the 46th year of Qin King's helping the people.
After destroying the six kingdoms, there were always those unwilling people in the six kingdoms who jumped out from time to time and raised the banner of reviving the six kingdoms. The Qin King Jimin sent people to defeat him and subdue him.
Finally, the six kingdoms belonged to Qin and have been truly unified since then.
The King of Qin helped the people and won the six kingdoms, and thought that all seven kingdoms were called kings, and their names were not respected. It was not enough to shock the remnants of the six kingdoms. In addition, the arguments between Qin and Qi in the past were also not enough to be famous for their successors, and they were powerful to the four barbarians.
Therefore, the ancient king's title was adopted, and the Three Yellows and Five Emperors were respected. The merits were above the king. Only Qin's virtues were combined with the Three Emperors, and the merits were surpassed by the Five Emperors. He chose the word "Emperor" and called Qin Shihuang Emperor.
The Qin King Zhaoshi, who died in his early years, was posthumously named as the Supreme Emperor.
He also said: "I am the First Emperor, and I have counted it in several future generations. One, two, three, and even hundreds of thousands of generations, and it is endless. After that, the emperor called himself "I"; his ministers under Qin were called "Your Majesty."
The He clan wall that humiliated Qin was engraved with the Qin State as the seal of the Qin State's inheritance seal. His writing said: "According to the heaven, he will receive eternal prosperity." He also recommended the transmission of the five virtues, thinking that Zhou obtained the virtue of fire, but water could extinguish the fire, and Qin responded to the fortune of water virtue. His clothes and flags were all black.
This point coincides with the Qin kings in history.
Because the number of water is six, the size of the objects is used for six numbers.
The habits of the seven countries are different, so the months of worship in the new year are also different. The first month of October is the first month, and the congratulations are all the same as the month.
As for the son who mentioned at the beginning, he added a new one, and the ministers did not discuss the king because he believed that this was an unqualified act. The posthumous law was completely abolished. The reforms implemented in Qin State by King Zhao of Qin were also implemented by Lu Qingchen, and the good strategies for governing the country proposed by Lu Qingchen.
At the same time, Emperor Qin Shi Huang believed that the six kingdoms were always inextinguishable because the remaining clans were provoked in the rear, and thus began to promote the children who were promoted from military merits.
In this way, we can weaken the power of the old days and strengthen the rights and interests of Emperor Qin Shi.
The land rights and interests of the Great Qin Empire also changed.
The land rights that were inherited from the Western Zhou Dynasty have now been replaced.
After Qin Jimin became the First Emperor, five more years have passed.
It was the incident of Emperor Qin Shihuang's fifth year of autumn, and it was really a troublesome autumn.
Emperor Qin Shihuang ordered the people of all places to report all their lands to the extent that the Qin court can collect taxes. At the same time, he issued a manifesto that even ordinary people could exchange military merit for land and titles.
When Lu Qingchen reformed the law, he had a law to grant the people land. At that time, the people's land still belonged to the Qin State, but it was just private farming. Emperor Qin Shihuang's actions taught the people to also own the land that originally belonged to the kingdom.
Even in the near future, the people and those in office can freely trade the land with others.
Emperor Qin Shi Huang also thought that the Zhou Kingdom was divided into various countries, but later the countries rose up and eroded them. Later, the seven countries divided the world into the world, and no longer divided the princes. Instead, the county system and bureaucratic system were passed down from Xianyang as the center.
The Qin State and the old lands of the six countries were initially thirty-six counties. Later, with the continuous expansion and growth of Qin State, ten counties were added, and later forty-six counties were established, Xianyang was designated as the capital of Qin State.
The county system will break the original blood inheritance system one by one.
After the reunification of the six countries, new problems arose.
There are often disputes among the people, and the root cause is similar to the endless invasion between the seven countries.
The six countries have different language barriers, different living habits, and very different customs. How can we stay safe with others?
Emperor Qin Shi did not dare to think about others, did not dare to speak about others, and did not dare to use them. He opposed the opinions of others, changed the bargaining coins of the six countries, and unified the weights and measures of the world.
Even the words and documents of the seven countries are unified.
After receiving reports from various borders, the Manhu tribesmen often invaded, and occasionally there were fierce troops. Qin State also had some irresistible cases. He ordered all parts of the country to start building Great Walls, roads and straight roads to resist foreign enemies.
Emperor Qin Shi moved the wealthy people from all over the six countries and ordinary people, and was worried that the children of the six countries would rekindle again, so he also moved them to Xianyang to protect the imperial tomb.
Or they moved to some remote places, and ordinary people also migrated, which is known in history as "moving the enemy."
These ordinary people worked hard for the Qin Empire to mine, open salt wells and other hard labor.
The construction of the Great Wall was done by prisoners, and Meng Tian supervised the completion of the work.
The following year was the spring of the sixth year of Emperor Qin Shihuang.
Emperor Qin Shi ordered Meng Tian to attack Jiuyuan City, which was originally the land of the Manchu tribe. Later, it was captured by Zhao State and set up as the plain city of Zhao State. Now it was captured again by Qin State. Jiuyuan County was established here, including 34 counties.
The changes in Qin State undoubtedly attracted everyone's attention. When Lu Qingchen entered Qin State, he hit it off with Qin Zhaoshi, and the two of them became friends.
There is a beautiful talk about sleeping when talking about things.
The changes in Qin at that time were opposed by old scholars and students everywhere. Even later, in the battle of Changping, Qin was called tyranny. Some people feared Qin and some people disdained it.
At this moment, seeing the Qin court changing its appearance and thriving, those people changed their previous faces and came to Qin to serve the Qin court. For a moment, the Qin State was in a big spotlight, and the barbarians on the border all went far away to avoid it.
Because Qin Zhaoshi and Qin Jimin liked to do things.
There were many superstitious people in the Qin court, including Huang Lao Taoism, Yin Yang School, Confucianism, Law and Taoism, and many other theories, which were also influenced by many generations in later generations.
For some reason, outsiders were particularly obsessed with the sayings of gods and even had the intention of searching for them personally.
However, how could a king of a country leave easily? Under the persuasion of several trusted ministers, he gave up his original persistence, but did not give up his dream of seeking immortals.
One force presided over the theory that people from the country sent people to find the medicine of gods and immortals, which could help them become immortals.
He has already stopped Emperor Qin Shi from going out to find the immortals himself. If he stops the idea of sending people to search for them, no one of the ministers will have the courage to come forward and make suggestions.
Today, Emperor Qin Shi has no parents, and only two brothers follow his advice. As for his younger sister Qin Xuanshui, people have never seen it for many years, and I don’t know where Qin Xuanshui is going.
Seeing that the Qin court was like an army, I ordered it to go as soon as I arrived.
Therefore, when we arranged the matter of patrolling the immortals and the elixirs, we soon had candidates and their routes. Although we were worried about people like the king of Qi, we were addicted to cultivating immortals until the end of the country was destroyed.
But they also understood that Emperor Qin Shi Huang was not the same person as King Qi, because he did not abandon any government affairs with Emperor Qin Shi Huang on weekdays. This practice of cultivating immortals was just a move to prolong his life.
The ministers did not take it seriously, and they performed their duties every day.
The prosperous scene of Qin State.
