Chapter 45 The third message

Now that the queen is pregnant, this means that all possibilities have become impossible.

As long as Ying Zheng has children, Cheng Chuang must move out of the Eastern Palace.

Afterwards, even if Ying Zheng died immediately, these important officials in the court would try their best to protect Ying Zheng's descendants to the throne to ensure the continuity of the policy and the stability of their own interests.

This news is purely good news for both the court officials and Ying Zheng.

The third major event is even more exciting news.

This matter is that Ying Zheng revealed his willingness to expand Qin's territory.

Everyone has always known the importance of land.

Moreover, there are great benefits here, and everyone hopes to obtain land.

In the past two years, everyone has actually done a lot of land renovation.

But the more you open up the land, the more you know the hardships of open up the land.

We must not only let the slaves fill their fill, but also let their own power cover them. Finally, we must enclose land, occupy land, purchase good tools, and make investments without returns in the early stage.

In this process, the wealth in the family is slowly being consumed bit by bit.

This process shows real investment, but not much actual returns. It is not much different from sitting in the sky, and it is even faster.

So everyone is actually very impatient.

Compared to accumulating little by little by little, it is indeed faster to plunder.

Therefore, some time ago, the nobles in Xianyang obtained the "A Sutra of Exploitation". After they understood the principles and means, they broadened their horizons and immediately began to practice and learn.

They swallowed each other and fought each other. The big nobles broke the little nobles. The little nobles were struggling to win, but they also wanted to swallow each other and strengthen themselves.

This process is the most normal thing.

After swallowing it, Ying Zheng personally came to stop the subsequent development.

But can people who have tasted meat really suppress their desire to eat meat and drink blood?

Ying Zheng knew the answer to this question.

No one can suppress their desires.

The happiness brought by expansion can control people's hearts more than any poison.

Once you try it once, there will definitely be no chance of looking back!

Therefore, although the nobles in Xianyang were kind and stopped fighting each other, they were thinking behind their backs about how to kill other families and take over everything themselves.

Monopoly is their ultimate goal.

And the realization of this goal is now suppressed.

But it is not completely suppressed.

Because news came out of the palace.

The news says that the Qin King Zheng intends to expand Qin's territory!

Everyone knows what expansion means.

The process of expansion is not about making a fuss, embroidery, discussion of the truth, nor about comparing morality.

Expansion means launching wars outside, invading outside, redistribution of sovereignty on land that originally had a lord, redistribution of ownership rights to people that originally had a lord, and redistribution of use of money that originally had a lord.

This redistribution power is usually written and fought for with cold weapons and warm blood.

No one is so kind that he is willing to give up the land on which he lives.

Even the Hu people and the Huns, who were called nomadic people, had their own territory.

You want their territory with them. No matter how poor and weak they are, they must pick up their swords and fight with you.

In the past, even Qin State would not have been very eager for war.

Because there is a very simple truth that fighting war requires consuming strong labor.

Farming, building houses, and doing work also requires labor.

The population is limited, so once people are taken to war, there will be fewer people in China responsible for construction and exploitation.

As a result, the aristocrats accumulated wealth slowly.

Even in the warlike Qin State, even when facing the Three Jins with hatred, the Qin people only launched wars when internal conflicts needed to be transferred.

Because war has uncertainty, most of the benefits that war can bring are attributed to the King of Qin, and a small part are given to those who participate in the war.

Others can make little profit from it.

So most of them do not support war.

And now it is obviously different.

——The ownership of the land was transferred from the "King of Qin" to the Qin people.

Everyone can own land.

This means that as long as the war wins, everyone can get benefits!

The premise is to contribute to the war.

The nobles did not resist the efforts to fight the war.

Even dying for war, they were not very afraid.

What is really scary is that you die in battle without getting the benefits!

Now, this fearful possibility is eliminated.

...

"Does Your Majesty really want to launch an external war?" Wang Yu asked.

Wang Jie shook his head: "How can I know? I also heard from the old fox of Wei Zhuang. That old guy, hey, if he hadn't been 100% sure, he wouldn't have spoken randomly."

"But isn't the country still building a canal?" Wang Yu was a little puzzled: "Why would Your Majesty start a war on the outside world at this pass?"

"How can I know this?" Wang Jie sighed: "Your Majesty's thoughts have always been unpredictable. What he knows about before is not something that you and I can consider, so don't worry about Your Majesty."

"But after all, we must be someone who fights a war!" Wang Yu spread his hands: "You must always determine whether the news is true, and then determine the scale of the war that His Majesty wants so that you can go to your family to arrange things!"

"You said that too." Wang Jie sighed: "But it's useless to ask me, and I don't know this. At present, the news has just been released. Even if it is true, it will be a while since the foreign war really begins."

"I know, but I'm anxious!" Wang Yu sighed: "I have purchased so many slaves at home. Now I have to take care of them for food and drink, and plant those lands. This year, I have less food. The material deficiency is very serious!"

"It seems that someone's food is not inadequate." Wang Jie grinned: "Why don't we go to the farmer's association to buy some food together?"

"Can the farmer sell it to us?" Wang Yu frowned.

"We have to try whether we sell it or not." Wang Jie said: "Think about it, your Majesty is behind the Farmers' Association."

"And the farmers' associations were the first to start changing the seed system. They have maintained two types of food for three or four years a year, and the accumulated food is quite large."

"There is not necessarily a lot of food to sell to you and me."

"If Your Majesty has no idea of ​​fighting against the outside world, the peasant association will definitely be able to sell food to you and me, and at most it will increase the price."

"But if His Majesty has the idea of ​​fighting against the outside world..."

Wang Yu's eyes lit up: "Okay!"
