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

Chapter 47 Slavery and Winning Over the Hearts of the People

Tianze frowned slightly: "What do you want to ask?"

Han Che's actions undoubtedly made things very complicated.

The King of Poisons, however, sensed that something was amiss.

Those eloquent people from the Central Plains often set traps for others in this way.

However, since Tianze had already spoken, he couldn't say anything more, so he could only focus on keeping an eye on Han Che for Tianze.

To prevent Han Che from setting a trap for Tian Ze through his words.

"I want to know whether what you're about to do is for revenge or for the restoration of your kingdom."

Hearing Han Che's words, Tian Ze frowned even more.

"What's the difference between these two?"

Even the King of Poisons couldn't understand Han Che's purpose in asking this question, so he could only continue listening.

"Of course there is a difference. If it's for revenge, things will be very simple."

Killing someone is nothing more than a beheading.

Even if your enemy is very strong, you can always find some flaws if you look carefully.

Moreover, you can choose to join forces with others to deal with your enemies.

Tianze nodded gently.

What Han Che said makes a lot of sense.

Then he asked, "What about restoring the kingdom?"

"Restoring a country is much more difficult. The establishment of a country requires various resources, and wealth is only one of them."

The most important thing is people's hearts.

You can only become their king when people willingly approve of you.

Otherwise, your throne is nothing but a rootless duckweed and a castle in the air; the slightest external shock would be enough to knock you off your throne.

Tianze found himself increasingly unable to understand Han Che in front of him.

"Even if what you're saying makes a lot of sense, what's the point of telling me all this?"

"It's very simple. If you want to restore your country, I can help you."

Tianze looked at Han Che in disbelief: "You want to help the Baiyue restore their kingdom?"

Yan Lingji and the others also showed expressions of surprise.

Han Che's words were completely unexpected to them.

"Surprised?"

"This is truly unexpected. Why did you do this?"

"Because the restoration of the Baiyue Kingdom would be beneficial to the future of Korea."

Upon hearing this, Tianze immediately realized what Han Che was thinking: "You want us to help you divert Chu's attention."

"That's right, although I'm using you, this is also your opportunity."

Otherwise, with just a few of you, the chances of restoring the Baiyue Kingdom are probably slim.

With South Korea's backing, while you may not necessarily succeed in the future, your chances of success will undoubtedly increase significantly.

Upon hearing this, Tianze fell into deep thought.

This is a completely open and aboveboard scheme by Han Che.

Even though he knew Han Che was using him, he was still tempted.

The temptation of restoring his kingdom was too great for him.

South Korea's weaponry is world-renowned.

With the support of South Korea, he could easily raise a heavily armed Baiyue army to fight against the Chu army and allow the Baiyue flag to be planted again on the land of Baiyue.

Seeing that Tianze hadn't spoken for a long time, Han Che waited patiently.

After a moment, Tianze asked, "How do you plan to help us?"

Seeing that Tianze had taken the bait, Han Che suppressed the corners of his mouth and said, "I have already sent people to take in those Baiyue refugees who fled from Chu to Han. These Baiyue refugees have been oppressed in Chu for a long time and have endless hatred for Chu. They are the best force to fight against Chu in the future."

Upon hearing Han Che mention the Baiyue refugees, Tianze's expression turned extremely cold.

"Those guys who chose to surrender to the State of Chu and fawn over Chu were no longer Baiyue people."

Looking at Tianze's expression, Han Che shook his head inwardly.

He is unlikely to achieve anything with his current state; he has no capacity for tolerance.

However, whether Tianze succeeds or not is not within his concern.

As long as Tianze can cause some trouble for the State of Chu when he needs it, that's fine.

On the contrary, if Tianze is someone who can achieve great things, he might end up raising a tiger that will eventually harm him.

Although the State of Chu is now vast and boasts a million armored soldiers, its system is rigid and riddled with internal conflicts.

Take the slave system as an example. The slave system in the Three Jin states had already been gradually abolished, starting from the Zhao region, even before the three states were divided into Jin.

At that time, the various powerful families in the State of Jin were truly fighting to the extreme in order to make their families stronger.

If others are doing something profitable, you should immediately follow suit, or you will be left behind by the times.

After the division of Jin into three states, the State of Wei took the lead in reforming and establishing a comprehensive military merit system, which provided ordinary people with a path to upward mobility.

As a result, the State of Wei became the most powerful state at that time.

At that time, although the State of Chu, like other states, followed the example of the State of Wei in carrying out reforms, the reforms in the State of Chu were the least effective.

The State of Chu still retains many backward systems, such as slavery.

Those Baiyue refugees who fled to Korea were slaves of the Chu state.

After these thoughts flashed through his mind, Han Che looked at Tian Ze in front of him and said, "Although they made mistakes in the past, they now know how to repent, otherwise they would not have escaped from the State of Chu."

However, Tianze had no intention of listening to advice, and his attitude remained indifferent: "If you want to take in those good-for-nothings, then take them in. I won't care about them."

His words elicited different reactions from Yan Lingji and the others behind him.

Bai Du Wang is a staunch supporter of Tian Ze, and whatever Tian Ze says goes.

Moreover, he found Tianze's words to be quite reasonable.

Yan Lingji frowned slightly, clearly having some objections.

Despite being an assassin for so many years, she still retains a sense of sentimentality.

Moreover, these suffering people are all their own people.

The Peerless Ghost and the Corpse-Driving Demon showed no reaction on the surface.

Han Che sighed helplessly: "In that case, I will take these Baiyue refugees in and make sure they are settled in a safe place."

Of course, these are just superficial efforts.

This result was within his expectations.

After all, in the anime, Tianze directly killed those Baiyue refugees in a very cruel way.

He could use this opportunity to win over the hearts of the Baiyue people.

As for the difficulties faced by the State of Chu, he simply used money to redeem these Baiyue refugees.

The nobles of Chu would not turn down gleaming gold for some Baiyue slaves that they considered worthless.

Judging by the time, my people should have arrived at the Yin-Yang School by now.

Before long, the Yin-Yang School will send someone to negotiate with him.

Using Chu's money to redeem Chu's slaves and gain fame at the same time, this is a win-win situation no matter how you look at it.

Tianze didn't care when he heard this.

He looked at Han Che in front of him and said, "If your help to me is just taking in those useless people who are not important to me, I'm afraid I will find it hard to accept."
