Qin Dynasty: Becoming a peerless master through the Golden Light Mantra

Han Che did not stop and continued his speech: "Although the people of Qin can obtain titles and land by making military achievements on the battlefield and use these titles and land to atone for their crimes, these titles and land are not so easy to obtain."

The titles and lands that the people of Qin risked their lives on the battlefield to obtain might not even be enough to exempt them from punishment for crimes committed by their neighbors.

I feel that Qin's laws were a kind of military merit-based system. If people lost their military merit, they could only continue to go to the battlefield to kill enemies and accumulate military merit in order to cope with the harsh Qin laws.

In addition to harsh laws, the people of Qin also faced extremely heavy corvée labor and taxes.

This was precisely the core of Shang Yang's reforms in Qin: strengthening the state and weakening the people.

Therefore, although the people of Qin strive hard, they ultimately find that they have gained nothing; they are merely expendable resources on Qin's path to advancement.

Han Che was not exaggerating when he said this.

After Qin unified the six states and had no more wars to fight, the hundreds of thousands of convicts at Mount Li served as a prime example.

At least most of those convicts were soldiers who had fought for Qin and received Qin training; otherwise, Zhang Han would not have been able to command hundreds of thousands of untrained convicts to fight the enemy.

This is just one place in Lishan.

Later on, even the Qin people themselves rebelled against Qin.

If Wei Liao doesn't believe it, he can go to Hanoi or Hedong in the west, or Shangdang or Taiyuan in the north and he'll find out.

Those places are right next to Nanyang and have been under the rule of the Qin state for many years.

To be honest, if someone in Qin had shouted "Are kings and nobles born with special privileges?" at that time, Qin would have been thrown into chaos.

Furthermore, the military merit system in Qin was no longer as pure as it used to be.

During Shang Yang's reign, Qin's rewards were based on military merit.

In the present state of Qin, Marquis Changxin, Lao Ai, a fake eunuch, relied on the favor of the Queen Dowager of Zhao to obtain the highest-ranking marquisate in the Qin military merit system last year, and possessed two fiefdoms: Taiyuan and Hexi.

Hearing this, Wei Liao was already very disappointed with the Qin state.

He originally wanted to visit the Qin state.

Now it seems that the Qin state was not the place he had envisioned.

Although he advocated strict military discipline, can governing the people be the same as governing the army?

Han Che smiled.

He knew he had achieved his goal.

What Han Che didn't know was...

He did help Wei Liao in this way.

After living in the Qin state for a period of time, Wei Liao discovered that the Qin state was not what he had imagined.

He repeatedly refused Ying Zheng's offers of service and planned to leave the Qin state.

When Ying Zheng wanted to kill him for this, it was Li Si who pleaded for him and saved Wei Liao's life.

Later, at Li Si's invitation, Wei Liao, who was unable to leave Qin, had no choice but to put aside his prejudices and serve Qin, accepting its cruel system.

After giving Wei Liao some time to think, Han Che began his final speech: "Sir, if I may be frank, a country like Qin may seem powerful, but it is actually very fragile. A truly powerful country should be one that is rich and its people are strong."

The reason why the six states were unable to destroy Qin was because they did not find the right method.

"Give me time, destroying Qin is not difficult!"

Looking at the incredibly confident and spirited Han Che, Wei Liao felt that this was unlikely and that Han Che was just making empty promises. However, considering what he had seen and heard before, he felt that it wasn't impossible for it to come true.

King Goujian of Yue endured hardship and humiliation, and his three thousand Yue soldiers were able to conquer Wu.

Han Che's situation is much better than Goujian's.

When Zhou destroyed Shang, Han Che's ancestor, King Wu Ji Fa, also achieved a victory against overwhelming odds, seizing the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to the Shang Dynasty.

First of all, Han Che himself is capable, as can be inferred from the soldiers he trained.

Secondly, Han Che knew Qin very well, perhaps even better than Qin itself.

Finally, there's his art of face reading and divination.

Han Che is no ordinary person; such a person cannot be judged by common sense.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Liao found herself somewhat tempted.

Although South Korea is currently weak, it is precisely because of this that transforming such a weak country into a strong one is all the more rewarding and demonstrates its value.

Moreover, Han Che treated him very well, providing him with delicious food and drinks.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Liao reminded Han Che, "Young Master, please be careful with your words. Although I know that you have real talent and great ambition, you need to conceal your abilities now. The state of Han should proceed cautiously at every step."

Han Che was very happy to hear Wei Liao's words.

The fact that Wei Liao could say this shows that he was already leaning towards himself and had begun to think about himself and the interests of Korea.

"Thank you for the reminder, sir. I will certainly not speak carelessly today."

I was simply speaking out of the good feeling I had while discussing this matter with my husband.

Seeing Han Che suddenly suppress his imposing aura, Wei Liao nodded in approval.

……

After the banquet, Han Che ordered someone to take Wei Liao, who was already a little drunk, to a guest room to rest.

While remaining at the banquet, Han Che gently tapped the wooden table in front of him with his right hand, pondering the assassination attempt on him by Jing Ni during the day.

It's good that the Net's target is Nanyang.

If the matter involves adult jiao, then it becomes more complicated.

There are many things involved here.

After a moment, Han Che gently shook his head.

Before we understand the situation regarding Chengjiao, it's best not to act rashly.

I'm sure I'm being targeted by the Luo Wang organization now.

Perhaps Luo Wang was unaware of Cheng Jiao's affairs, or perhaps only had some suspicions, but his actions revealed the details to Luo Wang.

However, Luo Wang needs to issue a warning.

Being constantly assassinated like this, even if I can protect myself, I won't be able to do anything properly.

……

the next morning.

In the backyard of the mansion, Han Che sat in the pavilion with his eyes closed in meditation.

Suddenly, Han Che felt a chill creep over him.

coming!

With a slight stirring in his heart, Han Che opened his eyes and saw that familiar figure—Jing Ni.

Jing Ni, wielding the Jing Ni Sword, charged toward his location.

Tsk!

Seeing this, Han Che clicked his tongue.

In the anime, Jing Ni used a different method to assassinate Lord Xinling, but ended up assassinating herself in such a simple and brutal way.

Despite these thoughts in his heart, Han Che's actions were swift.

With a swift movement, Han Che decisively dodged Jing Ni's assassination attempt and arrived outside the pavilion.

Then, Han Che looked at Jing Ni, who had missed her target, and laughed, "Miss Jing Ni really keeps her word. What she said yesterday, she has fulfilled today."

Jing Ni stopped her attack and instead stared intently at Han Che, who seemed oblivious to the danger.

She realized that Han Che might have done it on purpose to lure her out.

Immediately afterwards, Jing Ni found herself in a very difficult situation.

Although she had considered using another method to get closer to Han Che, and she still had a great advantage in some aspects, Han Che was not interested in women, at least that's how he appeared to be.

(Han Che's inner monologue: I did that to cultivate the cool Yang Five Thunder Technique, but I don't need it anymore. Note: Based on Zhang Chulan's willingness to go to a hotel, the setting is that minor mastery of thunder magic can break one's virginity, while major mastery requires summoning heavenly thunder, which not only requires proficiency in thunder magic but also strong life cultivation.)

Seeing Jing Ni remain silent, Han Che continued, "Miss Jing Ni, I'm curious, do you assassins from the Luo Wang organization have hearts?"

The delicate eyebrows beneath Jingni's mask furrowed slightly.

She didn't understand why Han Che would discuss this issue with her, who was about to kill him.

Or perhaps he was so confident in his abilities that he thought he couldn't kill him, so he started toying with him.

With that thought in mind, Jing Ni charged at Han Che once again.

Seeing that Jing Ni had no intention of communicating with him, Han Che sighed inwardly.

Well then, since the logic doesn't work for now, let's talk about physics first.
