The policy of the previous Qin Dynasty was to make the people ignorant and weak. After Zhao Qingrui came to power, this policy was directly abolished. Especially after the land tax was equalized and the gentry paid taxes together, the status of the common people was greatly improved.

Along with this, the status of merchants also improved, while the status of these nobles was greatly threatened.

It’s not that no one has resisted, but they were suppressed by the Qin Dynasty with violence.

I still remember when the new policy was first implemented, the dead bodies dyed the earth red, many rivers were stained with blood, and the smell of blood in the air lingered for a long time.

Coupled with the current systems, this is once again squeezing the living space of the nobles of the six countries.

Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on Zhao Xie's forehead.

He wanted to stop all this, but his current strength was like an egg hitting a rock when compared to the Qin Dynasty.

With the emergence of official gazetteers, many common people learned to read a few words with the help of official gazetteers.

Through the court reports, they understood the court's policies. They were no longer the ignorant people they used to be and were difficult to fool.

With the continuous assessments in recent years and the constant replacement and adjustment of officials from all over the country, the descendants of the remaining six kingdoms are no match for the Qin Dynasty.

Moreover, all the people of the Xiang family, the most powerful descendants of the Chu State, are gone.

"How is it? Is there anything you don't understand?" Feng Wenlei asked with a smile.

"No more, thank you, Brother Feng." Zhao Xie said hurriedly.

"It's okay, it's okay. His Highness said that we, the people of Daqin, must unite and help each other." Feng Wenlei waved his hand.

Zhao Xie: “…”

The official newspaper promotes kindness and justice, calling on everyone to be one family, people of the Great Qin, and to help each other. This kid must have been brainwashed.

"You are dressed so well, your family must have been aristocratic before," Feng Wenlei asked curiously.

"Well, it's thanks to the legacy left by my ancestors." Zhao Xie didn't say much.

"That's great! My family was so poor before, but thanks to the sweet potato vines sent by His Highness, we can now have enough to eat."

"Your Highness also allows us to study for free and gives us more land to cultivate. I will definitely pass the civil service exam in the future to repay Your Highness!"

Zhao Xie was silent: That’s enough, can you please stop praising Qin? People are praising Qin everywhere.

Now that the people of the Great Qin have returned to their hearts, the problem of shortage of officials in various places is also being alleviated, and the quality of officials is getting higher and higher. It has become countless times more difficult for the descendants of the six countries to do anything in the court of the Great Qin.

The control of the six former kingdoms over various regions was gradually weakening.

It is impossible to confront the Qin Dynasty head-on, and even the difficulty of making some small moves has increased. If the descendants of the six countries do not change, they will only become more and more decadent.

Zhao Xie sighed in his heart. Is there any other way to change besides submitting to the Qin Dynasty?

However, after submitting to the Qin Dynasty, how could they be willing to give up their previous high and mighty lives and lower their noble heads?

Soon it was time for class, and Zhao Xie stopped daydreaming. The most urgent thing was to learn more so as not to fall behind the times.

Moreover, many of the people here have close ties with the court, and there are many benefits to making friends with them.

The clipper boats took only a few days to reach Lingnan along the river.

In Lingnan, the fleet stopped for a while and prepared to purchase some more things before entering the sea.

Sui Shicong had something more important to do, which was to meet Zhang Han, the general stationed in Lingnan.

Zhao Qingrui gave Zhang Han some things and asked him to look for them in Lingnan.

Rubber has not been found yet, and Zhao Qingrui wants to see if there are any good things in Lingnan.

Lingnan has a hot climate and is located in the subtropics, which is very suitable for the growth of some fruits.

However, Lingnan is still in the process of development, and some tribes there have not yet been fully integrated into the Qin Dynasty.

We also have to guard against those foreign tribes, otherwise the Qin Dynasty would not have stationed so many troops in Lingnan.

The purpose of the fleet's journey was to enter Africa, the Kingdom of Carthage at that time.

There are many good things in Africa. This trip is mainly for exploration, and it would be better if we can bring back more good things.

Zhang Han met with Sui Shicong and had a brief chat with him. Then he called everyone in the fleet together for a lively meal.

It has been almost two years since Zhang Han arrived in Lingnan. From being timid and uneasy at the beginning, he became more comfortable following Wang Li.

After gradually adapting to life in the army, he felt that this kind of life was more suitable for him.

It’s a pity that His Majesty did not take him with him when he went to conquer the Huns this time.

If you go along, you'll definitely be able to gain some credit.

His current situation is a bit awkward. He was promoted from a civil servant with no military merit to the commander-in-chief of an army. This leap is really too big.

In the army, there were many people who did not obey him at the beginning, but as he gradually integrated into the army, the situation gradually improved.

Zhang Han opened the letter from Zhao Qingrui with a serious expression on his face, but soon, he couldn't suppress a smile on his face.

In addition to asking him to find something, Zhao Qingrui also told him about his plans for future campaigns and that he would not stay here to guard Lingnan forever.

Once the Huns are defeated, he will swap guard with Meng Tian and the others. Then he will be transferred to Your Majesty's side, and next time he can follow Your Majesty to fight.

Now he is a military general, and as an internal staff member, and a relatively important one, he is fortunate to get a world map.

There is so much more out there. With your majesty's ambition and your youth, these places will definitely be incorporated into the territory of the Qin Dynasty.
