The younger brother of the First Emperor

Chapter 52: Childish Words

Chapter 52: Childish Words
"What?" Ying Chengjiao really didn't understand this time.

The old man secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

[This is how a seven-year-old child should behave. How can he understand everything?]
Continue lightly:
“Why was the Qin Palace built so high and large? Because only in this way could the people see it.

“This is what is meant by ‘nothing but magnificence can bring about great power’.

"Night fragrance is smelly, and the feeling of applying it to the fields cannot be described as good.

“In order to have a better harvest, the people endured the stench and applied incense at night.

“If the government does the same, the people will lose their respect for the government.

“They will think that the government will compromise and use feces and urine to irrigate the ground, just like them.

“This is the source of unrest.”

The old man put down Master Cheng Jiao.

He squatted on the ground, grasped Master Chengjiao's two arms with a little force, and said earnestly:
“The authority of the government is the authority of the king, which is above all else.

"In order to distinguish itself from the common people, night fragrance must be something filthy and dirty, and it can only be something filthy and dirty.

“Just like officials wear different colored ribbons, and merchants are not allowed to wear silk.

“Contrast, limitation, and benefit can stimulate motivation.

"What you said before about the big stick and the sweet date is very good. These tiny differences made Qin strong and made the people easier to rule.

"All nobles use night fragrance in private, but no one would say it publicly. To say it would be to lower one's status."

Wei Zhe stood up after touching the head of Master Cheng Jiao, who was speechless and looked stunned.

"I know you don't understand what I'm saying.

"It doesn't matter, just remember as much as you can and ask your teacher privately.

"You, it's time to calm down."

The old man left, his steps were so light, as if he was walking on air.

Ying Chengjiao stood there for a while, then suddenly shouted at the old man's back:
"Wei Zhe! I understand! But I think you are wrong!

“It is wrong to stay away from the people and control them by making them afraid.
"The people are the most important, the country is second, and the king is the least important!
"He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world!"

The old man waved his hand but didn't stop.

The words are long and seem to come from heaven.

“Childish words.

"Read less Mencius's books, the people have no interest in them."

In a rage, the young man got on a carriage and went to find his grandfather.

When I saw my grandfather, he was playing table tennis with my brother.

The billiard table is made of golden nanmu wood and covered with smooth silk, which is enough to support a family of three for ten years.

The table tennis balls made of polished jade are of different colors, and any one of them is a treasure.

"Father, build a government office to collect night incense! And find me some people who are particularly good at agronomy!"

The young man made demands as soon as they met, holding his breath.

He has never farmed before and doesn't know how to do it.

But he knew a little bit of theory and knew that in order for farm manure to be highly fertile, it must go through a fermentation process.

He just told the agricultural officials what he knew and pointed out the direction, and the agricultural officials would naturally complete the rest for him.

Every profession has its own specialties, and professional matters should be left to professionals.

With a "duang~" sound, Qin Wangzhu hit the ball into the hole with a big smile on his face.

He continued to lean forward and aimed at another ball.

"Good grandson, wait until Grandfather finishes beating you, and then we'll talk."

Ying Chengjiao bumped into Qin Wangzhu's leg and tried to grab the club.

"No! You should approve it first before playing! Is playing basketball more important than being a strong country?"

"I can see that I'm getting the feel of it...Okay, okay, let's talk first." Qin Wangzhu was extremely helpless, put down the club, and said, "What did you just say?"

Ying Chengjiao repeated his demands again.

Qin Wangzhu listened carefully and said with some doubt:
"Cheng Jiao, are you sure you didn't find the wrong person?

“If anyone bullies you, go to Grandfather and he will help you.

“You should go to your father or your eldest mother to discuss political and national affairs.

"If all else fails, you can go find the Prime Minister."

Seeing his grandson's face was a little ugly, Qin Wangzhu pinched his cheek and laughed:
"Don't worry about those things, come on, play ball.

"You and your brother come together, and we'll take on two of you." Ying Zheng, holding a golf club, looked excited and eager to try, waving to his younger brother.

"Come here, my brother and I will work together today to kill Grandfather!"

Ying Chengjiao had a stern face and raised his hands.

“Don’t worry about it, just give me a private print.

"I will go to the official in charge of seals and talismans to get the seal of the King of Qin, and ask him to help me draft the imperial edict."

Qin Wangzhu smiled happily when he saw his grandson acting like a little adult.

"My son has grown up and can even draft imperial edicts?
"Well, your father, your eldest mother, and Prime Minister Wei Zhe, you can pick any one of these three.

"As long as there is anyone who agrees with your national policy, I will personally write an edict for you, okay?"

[If I could convince them, there would be no need to file a complaint...]
Ying Chengjiao stood still, without saying a word, and just stared at his grandfather.

He was usually so resolute that even if the request was outrageous, my grandfather would agree.

The last time I went to Hangu Pass to pick up my brother, my grandfather was adamantly unwilling to let me go, saying that Hangu was too far from Xianyang and safety could not be guaranteed.

He stood there for less than half a quarter of an hour before his grandfather, who had been gritting his teeth and refusing to give in, had no choice but to agree and gave him the Hangu Tiger Tally for self-defense.

But this time, my father acted as if he didn't see it.

Qin Wangzhu took the club and hit it hard.

With a "duang" sound, the white ball hit the red ball.

The red ball rolled towards the pocket, but didn't go in.

Qin Wangzhu sighed with some regret and stretched out his hand to signal Ying Zheng to hit him.

Ying Zheng held the golf club without moving, looked at his stubborn brother, and lowered his head.

"If you don't fight, then I will continue to fight." Qin Wangzhu said lightly.

Holding the pole, the "duang" sound continues.

Normally, it took Qin Wangzhu less than half an hour to clear the stage.

Today, he played for a quarter of an hour and still hadn't cleared the table.

Han Ming, the chariot officer who was waiting beside him, looked at Master Cheng Jiao with pity, then stepped forward with a smile and said:
"It is boring to fight alone, so I will fight with you, Your Majesty."

Qin Wangzhu glanced at him sideways and said nothing.

Han Ming's hand just touched the club.

Lower your head, loosen your hands, and step back.

After another quarter of an hour, the "duang" sound finally stopped.

Qin Wangzhu threw down his club.

"Cheng Jiao, you like to play, and I like to play too.

"Treasures, women, rare objects, whatever you want to play with, I can give it to you.

"The only thing we can't play with is state affairs. We can't let the country down.

"The Qin State is going to be gone, so we can only play with one thing.

"life.

“Do you want to play with your life?

"I don't want to."
