Chapter 540: Winning
At the beginning, Ying Yuan built various wonders with the purpose of destroying the country and making it incompetent.
However, after so much time has passed, that goal may be difficult to achieve.
To this end, he has also made sufficient mental preparations.
But on the way to the Terracotta Warriors, after hearing what Cao Cao said, he couldn't help but feel sad.
"Your Majesty, in accordance with your instructions to build the Terracotta Army, we have completely abolished the system of burying living people with the dead and the system of sacrificial offerings."
"This move not only wins the hearts of the people for our Great Qin, but also earns the favor of the people of other nations. The benefits outweigh the disadvantages!"
Essentially, there is no disadvantage to this matter.
Before this, people from all countries thought that Ying Yuan was a tyrant and that Qin was a country of tigers and wolves.
But what about now?
The only bad thing he heard about Qin and Ying Yuan was that he was too ambitious.
Apart from this, everyone in the world praised Ying Yuan's benevolence.
This benevolence began with the construction of the Terracotta Army and the abolition of human sacrifice and burial practices.
The foolish plan to destroy the country failed to materialize, and instead gave Qin a good reputation that other countries could not ask for...
This fact really made Ying Yuan speechless.
But on second thought, this move can be regarded as a contribution to the ordinary people.
In this way, Ying Yuan felt better.
"You have done a good job on this mission. I will reward you."
After a pause, he looked at Ying Chuan beside him.
"Chuan'er, I hope that in the future you will follow the example of your father and not bury living people with him."
Hearing this, Ying Chuan bowed solemnly and said, "Please rest assured, father. I will obey your orders."
Later, when everyone arrived in front of the Terracotta Warriors, they were gradually shocked by the scene before them.
Looking around, the colorful terracotta warriors stand in an orderly manner in the pit.
There is no end in sight.
Each terracotta warrior seems to have a ferocious face.
They seemed like living people, and just standing there could make people feel an overwhelming sense of oppression.
At this moment, a strange and bizarre scene happened.
When Ying Yuan saw the terracotta warriors, the feeling of being weighed down by a mountain disappeared.
Instead, there is a peaceful atmosphere.
It seems that the Terracotta Warriors are using this method to express their deep respect to their Emperor.
Just when everyone was feeling strange, Ying Yuan's voice came from their ears.
"How come these terracotta warriors all look so kind? The soldiers of our Great Qin should be full of bravery and martial spirit."
After saying this, he continued walking forward.
Cao Cao and others behind him were all a little confused.
When they looked at the Terracotta Warriors, they all felt a chill.
Is this what you call a kind and benevolent person?
Soon, Cao Cao introduced the progress of building the Terracotta Warriors to Ying Yuan.
"The craftsmen worked tirelessly and have now completed more than 600,000 terracotta warriors."
"Your Majesty's original goal of one million Terracotta Warriors is almost achieved."
Hearing this, Ying Yuan nodded contentedly and said:
"You have worked hard, and those craftsmen have worked even harder. I hereby order that all the craftsmen who built the Terracotta Army be rewarded with ten taels of silver."
Ten taels is already a very high reward.
After all, there were tens of thousands of craftsmen who built the Terracotta Warriors.
When they leave the Terracotta Warriors.
A strange scene happened again.
The terracotta warriors standing in the pit seemed to have lowered their heads.
It seemed like this was the way to send Ying Yuan off.
The next wonder they were going to see was the Colosseum.
On the way there, Ying Yuan kept thinking.
No matter how you look at it, the Colosseum is a bit silly, right?
It is impossible to enhance the country's strength.
However, after hearing what Cao Cao said, Ying Yuan suddenly felt upset.
"Your Majesty, this Colosseum has been built for less than half a year, and it has already earned the court 60 million taels of silver."
"I believe it won't be long before the funds for building the Colosseum will be made up."
Ying Yuan really didn't understand, "How can it make a profit?"
Cao Cao thought that the emperor was testing him, so he said bluntly:
"Your Majesty, after the Colosseum was built, two Cuju tournaments were held there. Countless wealthy merchants came to watch the games."
"The ticket prices they pay are their source of income. Besides that, Prime Minister Qin has personally organized two horse races."
"The wealthy choose horses, and the winner can gain the reputation of an imperial merchant. Moreover, horses are purchased through auctions. Sometimes a horse can be sold for 10 million taels of silver."
"Also, merchants from various nations who wish to witness the splendor of our Great Qin will come to the Colosseum to enjoy the various dances and music, spending money lavishly."
"Of course, this is not the main point..."
"Ever since the Cuju competition was held, various sports have become popular throughout our Great Qin, used to strengthen the body."
"We will even collect all kinds of rare and exotic animals from all over the world, such as elephants and lions, and we will also obtain some treasures from the countries on the sea through barter."
"By then, if a wealthy businessman takes a fancy to it, he will buy it with a huge sum of money."
"Furthermore, when merchants from various nations saw the enormous Colosseum built by our Great Qin, they were deeply shocked. It truly demonstrates the magnanimity of our great nation."
“…”
After listening to Cao Cao's long speech.
Ying Yuan's long-lost desire to die resurfaced once again.
His breathing became rapid.
