Building a canal...
Collapsed.
My mentality collapsed.
This time it completely collapsed.
I want to cry but I have no tears!
Daji didn't notice the change in Ying Yuan's expression at all, and continued to talk to herself:
“It is said that when the canal was first built, the Ministry of Revenue was almost out of money. If it weren’t for the strong support of those noble families, I’m afraid the Ministry of Revenue would have had a hard time holding on.
Fortunately, Your Majesty's previous expeditions to the Jianghu frightened those aristocratic families, causing them to provide manpower and material resources to the court free of charge..."
Hear the deep.
Ying Yuan's heart ached.
This is fucking bullshit, isn't it?
When I first rode into the world, I wanted to be stupid!
You...you people, why are you stabbing me in the back!
Why!
You have a bad conscience!
No!
You have no conscience!
Where has your conscience gone?!
Ying Yuan kept roaring in his heart.
If it weren't for what happened before, everything would have gone against our wishes.
I'm afraid that Ying Yuan will faint from anger today.
Fortunately, the experiences and preparations from the previous events made him become stronger and stronger.
but...
I still want to cry!
Ying Yuan stood up tremblingly.
At this moment, Daji noticed that something was wrong with him and asked hurriedly, "Your Majesty, you..."
Before she could finish her words, she saw him waving his hand and saying, "It's alright, I'm just a little tired and want to go back and rest. Queen, you don't have to see me off."
Um...
He is indeed very tired.
Feeling tired.
He wants to be incompetent and ruin the country even though he has fulfilled his ambitions.
However, the national strength not only did not decline, but instead continued to rise.
Who can stand this?!
At this moment, Ying Yuan's face turned pale, he sighed heavily, and then he left Kunning Palace surrounded by a group of eunuchs.
Daji looked at his departing figure with worry, sighed, and then touched her bulging belly and murmured:
"My son, your father has given everything for this country.
When you grow up, you must learn to share your father's worries and do more practical things for the prosperity of the Qin Dynasty.
Your father...it was really not easy."
The unborn child seemed to hear Daji's voice and kicked her stomach.
Although she felt uncomfortable, she felt more and more relieved because she could feel that her child had a strong vitality.
...
The dejected Ying Yuan began to stare blankly after arriving at the Xuan Zheng Hall.
He was thinking about where he had done wrong.
Why are those people doing things behind my back?!
Kill them all?
no!
The system does not allow the random killing of ministers.
But it doesn't mean we can't find some reasons.
If we just do this, where can we recruit these treacherous ministers again?
What if all the ministers recruited in the future are loyal?
At least they have the attributes of treacherous ministers.
It must be that I used them in the wrong direction, which led them to do things against their will.
Well, yes, that must be the case.
It seems that we need to think of a new strategy for the destruction of our country.
Thinking of this, Ying Yuan murmured, "Even with the help of the noble families in building the canal, it's impossible that there won't be any public resentment!
This path can still be continued. As for the imperial examination system...perhaps those aristocratic families have not yet realized how great an impact the imperial examination system will have on them.
At that time, once they realize that something is wrong, they will definitely rise up in rebellion against me.
But these are all unpredictable things, and we cannot focus all our attention on them.
Since the canal doesn't work, I will build another wonder, which is... the Great Wall!
Yes! The Great Wall! When the First Emperor built the Great Wall, it caused immense public resentment. If he could do it, I can do it too. Let’s do it!”
After thinking about the next plan to destroy the country, Ying Yuan's emotions finally calmed down a little.
At this time, Cai Jing came to Xuanzheng Hall and told him something:
"Your Majesty, the canal between Suzhou and Hangzhou is almost complete. Once the canal to Jeju is completed, the canal will be open.
As for other areas, I'm afraid it will take some time. When I first built this canal, I was worried that there might be some public resentment.
But I now feel that that was all unnecessary worry, judging from the reports submitted from various places on the progress of canal construction.
The people had no intention of complaining to the court. Instead, they supported the court's construction of the canal. If the situation continued to develop in this way, there would basically be no public resentment.
Not only that, we also won the hearts and minds of some people by building the canal."
I heard him beep so much.
Ying Yuan only formed a sentence in his mind.
The national strength has not declined, but has grown again.
The emotions that had originally stabilized were now like a volcanic eruption, and were about to burst.
This is equivalent to sprinkling salt on a wound that is about to heal, and then stabbing it again, and this stab is very clean and neat, without any drag.
"Are you done?"
Ying Yuan asked calmly.
Cai Jing was stunned for a moment, then said, "I have finished speaking."
He thought to himself.
Why was Your Majesty unhappy after knowing this?
Well... Your Majesty must have known this outcome when he decided to build the canal.
Naturally, I won’t be happy about this.
I have to say, Your Majesty is really a prophet!
Even after I return to my hometown to retire in the future, the Qin Dynasty will surely become more prosperous with such an emperor.
