Diqin Designer

Chapter 67: All Sides of the World (2.0)

The young man asked, "The weakness is this Qin Lu?"

The middle-aged man said: "Yes and no!"

"The Qin laws are strict. They can only be implemented in Qin territory because they are backed by the Qin army. But once the Qin laws are implemented throughout the world, will there be enough Qin troops to guarantee them?"

"Before Qin unified the world, he clenched his fists and attacked the enemy..."

The middle-aged man stretched out his right hand and made a fist. The young man understood what he meant and also stretched out his right fist, but he did not make a fist. Instead, he spread out his five fingers.

"After Qin unified the world, it was like opening a clenched fist. Their power would be dispersed in all directions? And thus become weaker?"

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "That's right. The Qin laws are cruel and harsh. The people of the countries will not be able to endure it for a long time. Sooner or later, someone will raise the banner of rebellion and fight against the unjust King Qin."

The boy's eyes lit up in wonder: "Is this the time my uncle wants me to wait for?"

The middle-aged man said: "No, after the first person raises the banner of rebellion, we still need to wait and see if Qin can destroy the rebels in time. If not, then that is the time for us to wait."

"Yu, you are young, don't be impatient. The King of Qin took ten years to destroy the six kingdoms, and we can also destroy Qin in ten years. He is nearly thirty years older than you, we can wait!"

Hearing this, the young man didn't take it to heart at all. As long as there was a chance, Xiang Yu would definitely seize it.

But in the face of his uncle's earnest teachings, the boy said respectfully: "I will follow my uncle's teachings!"

Seeing that the young man seemed to have listened this time, the middle-aged man nodded with satisfaction in his eyes.

This is the darling of their Xiang family. If there are changes in the world in the future, the Xiang family may be able to rise up because of him and regain their glory, or even be more glorious than before.

In Zhaodi, an unknown village, several farmers were gathered together, talking in low voices and stealthily.

One person said, "Have you heard? Qi in the south was also destroyed by Qin!"

Another person looked worried and said, "I heard that the six kingdoms were destroyed by Qin. How can we take revenge in the future?"

The hatred between Zhao and Qin was deep, especially after Bai Qi killed 400,000 Zhao surrendered soldiers in the Battle of Changping. They were all young and strong men from various families in Zhao. They were the fathers, brothers, uncles and aunts of many Zhao people.
That year, almost every household in Zhao State was in mourning, and the wailing could be heard even in the neighboring Yan State.

Although several decades have passed, some people have slowly let go of their hatred, but some are unwilling to let go because those who were killed were their loved ones!
A farmer looked at the farmer who wanted revenge and said, "You still want revenge? It's good enough that we can survive! Previously, because of the existence of other countries, Qin's management of us was relatively 'lenient'. Now that Qi has been destroyed, this 'lenient' day will also come to an end."

The so-called "relaxation" was not loose at all. After Qin conquered Zhao, the taxes in Zhao were not light.

After all, the Qin Dynasty needs to continue to attack other countries and govern its expanded territory, all of which require more money and food. But where will the money and food come from?
The King of Qin and the other dukes of Qin did not know any magic, so they could not perform any magic tricks. Of course, they had to rely on the people and squeeze out what they needed from them.

The others all looked at the farmer who had spoken. The farmer continued, "We are not from Qin. We are from Zhao. If the King of Qin destroyed other countries, what good would it do us? Not only would he not benefit us, but he would be even more wary of us."

If Li Nian were here, he would definitely stick his head out and say: Brother, you guessed wrong. After destroying the six kingdoms, your life was not very good, but the Qin people were not living very well either. The First Emperor advocated equality among the seven kingdoms, regardless of closeness or distance, and the Qin people could not bear it anymore, so they happily welcomed Pei Gong.

The farmer continued, "Before, there were other countries that needed to be conquered, and the King of Qin had no manpower. Now that the six countries have been destroyed, he will be able to free up more manpower to govern us, and life will only be more difficult than before." After hearing this, several farmers fell silent. They had not read many books and had little culture, but they were not mentally retarded and could not understand the truth. After hearing what the farmer said, they realized that this possibility was not small.

The farmer who wanted revenge punched the ground next to him angrily and said, "Why didn't the King of Qin die earlier? I heard that he lived in Handan before, so why didn't anyone beat him to death?"

His voice was a little loud when he said this, and one person quickly covered his mouth, while the others looked around and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that there was no one nearby.

One person rebuked him, "Don't talk nonsense, or you will be killed!"

This person also knew that his words were too shocking. If someone reported them, they and their families would be beheaded, so he hurriedly apologized to the others.

One person sighed and said, "I don't blame you. Who doesn't hate you?"

Yes, if they didn't have hatred in their hearts, why would they gather here secretly and risk breaking the law? Are they afraid that others won't find them and report them?
The man sighed and said, "But even if this King of Qin dies, there will be another King of Qin. Qin is a country of tigers and wolves. This King of Qin is the leader of tigers and wolves. How can his son be a good person?"

This is indeed the truth, but I just don’t accept it.

The farmer who wanted revenge said impatiently: "If this is the case, when can we get revenge?"

The others remained silent, feeling that there was no hope and the future was bleak.

In a certain county in Qin, a family was very happy because they received a letter from their son (her husband) that was sent back by someone else.

An old man with gray hair and half of his left leg missing said happily: "Good, good, Ya will be back soon, and my family will have a better life."

Nearby, a young woman also cried with joy.

In the letter she sent back home, her lover told them that the last state in the world that could fight against the Qin Dynasty, Qi, had been destroyed, and that he would return home soon to reunite with them.

He made some achievements on the battlefield, which not only wiped out the crimes he had committed, but also gave him extra rewards to improve his family's lives.

The reason why the old Qin family was so happy was that the last of the six kingdoms had been destroyed, which meant that there would be no more wars in the world. Their sons (lovers) would no longer be conscripted into the army and would no longer have to face the dangerous fighting on the battlefield, but would be able to live in peace with them.

Moreover, the war is over, and the king should take time to recuperate. He won't impose such high taxes or use such harsh laws anymore, right?

They, the old Qin people, won the war for the king to unify the world, so they should get some rewards, right?
It's not possible that their lives would remain the same as before the unification of the world, or even get worse, right?

The message revealed in the family letter is not only that the son (her lover) will return, but also that their lives will get better and there will be more hope for the future, which is why the family is so happy.

This is not only the beautiful expectation of this old Qin family for the future, but also the expectation of countless old Qin people in the Sanqin land. They think they are the winners and have the opportunity to share some benefits.

However, in the history that should have been, they were disappointed, there was no benefit, and life was still as difficult as before...
