Chapter 228 The Remnants of the Six Kingdoms



Zhao Qingrui's words immediately made the generals' eyes red.

The retirement money given by the imperial court was not much in the past, and no one had ever considered the future lives of these people.

Zhao Qingrui's words won him the hearts of the people again.

Zhou Yan stood in his position, watching Zhao Qingrui win people's hearts, feeling a surge of despair in his heart. He watched her move towards the position of crown prince step by step, but he had no way to stop her.

"Your Highness's idea is indeed kind, but have you considered the burden it will put on the national treasury?" Zhou Yan took a deep breath.

"I know what Zhou Pushe wants to say, but our Great Qin is no longer the Great Qin it used to be. It is thriving. Although I cannot arrange for all these people, I can arrange for some of those who have difficult family circumstances." Zhao Qingrui said confidently.

With the development of Daqin, there will be more and more places that need jobs, and these people will definitely be able to be arranged by then.

"Qing Rui is right. The Qin Dynasty is thriving and we will be able to solve these people's problems in the future." Ying Zheng said with a smile. He naturally believed in his daughter's ability.

Zhou Yan didn't want to talk anymore. The court was ruled by the father and daughter. Why were they discussing something that had already been decided? Was it to amuse them?

However, it seems that Your Majesty has long wanted to conquer the Huns and overseas.

He was also an official of the Qin Dynasty. The expansion of the Qin Dynasty's territory was also a good thing for the Qin Dynasty.

Since no one objected, Ying Zheng issued orders one after another at a rapid pace.

After more than a year of recuperation, the Qin Dynasty has undergone many changes, and it is still entirely possible to recruit an army of 200,000 across the country.

As the news of the conscription spread, the whole of Xianyang was in an uproar.

Ying Zheng conquered the world through fighting, and now he has to go to war again. Many people's expressions have changed.

In particular, the remnants of the six kingdoms who were hiding began to secretly stir up trouble, trying to lower the prestige of the First Emperor.

It’s a pity that the rhythm they set didn’t have much effect.

As the military benefits were distributed, some people in Guizhou who came from poor families began to be tempted.

With the changes in the land system, people can have children without any worries. Families with more children are ready to let their own children try it.

Moreover, there will not be a war immediately after conscription. It is said that new recruits will train for two or three years before going to the battlefield. Even during these two years of training, they can eat enough food in the barracks, eat meat, and get a monthly salary.

If you die on the battlefield, you will receive generous subsidies. If you become disabled, not only will you receive subsidies, the court will also provide you with jobs so that you can earn money on your own.

As soon as such treatment came out, the capital of Guizhou was immediately excited.

The mere thought of having enough to eat makes countless people excited.

Coupled with the various slogans Zhao Qingrui asked people to shout, the enthusiasm for joining the army swept across the entire Qin Dynasty.

In a secluded courtyard, a middle-aged man slammed his hand on the wooden table. "Have those people gone mad? Just for such a small favor, they're willing to die without a care in the world?"

"Ying Zheng just wants to start a war. What do you think we should do?" another person's voice was filled with worry.

Now, they are the only ones still fighting on the front line against the tyrannical rule of Qin.

The Xiang family, which was previously the largest force, was directly defeated by the troops sent by the First Emperor. Even Xiang Yu, the most promising member of the Xiang family, was killed by the First Emperor.

People like them can never amount to anything and can only guide public opinion behind the scenes.

Now that the Qin Dynasty has undergone restructuring, it enjoys a very high reputation among the common people.

If they had the support of the people when the First Emperor was seriously ill, even if they had revolted, they would have been righteous and against the tyranny of Qin.

But now, the people of Daqin are united. If they rise up again, it would be a rebellion and they would be criticized by countless people. There is also a high probability of failure.

"There's no other way now. The Great Qin is growing stronger. I think we should avoid its attack and wait for problems to arise within the Great Qin, then we can crush it in one fell swoop."

"What we need to do now is to preserve more manpower. We don't have many manpower available." One of the young men stood up. He didn't want to confront Daqin head-on now. It was like an egg hitting a stone. He was overestimating his own capabilities.

"Brother Yu said it simply. The Great Qin is becoming stronger and stronger. If we don't act now, we will have no chance in the future."

"Then you guys take action. I won't participate. I have the least manpower among you. Even if I were included, it wouldn't be of much use to you." The young man said lightly. These idiots didn't know where their confidence came from.

The Qin Dynasty was already powerful, and it was not something that a group of rabble like them could deal with.

Now that Daqin is stronger, these people want to confront Daqin head-on. This world is too crazy.

These people are too irrational. It’s better to withdraw now to avoid being cheated later.

"Brother Yu, you are a little too timid." Seeing that the young man wanted to withdraw, the man immediately sneered.

"Alas, there's nothing I can do. I also have to consider my big family. I really don't have the courage and insight that you have. I'm sorry." The man spread his hands and said helplessly.

In fact, he no longer wants to rebel against Qin. He joined them in the rebellion before because Qin's laws were harsh and the taxes were numerous, making it difficult for all the people in the world to survive.

But now, Daqin is getting better and better, and the lives of the people have also improved a lot. If Daqin had always been like this, he would not be willing to take risks with his family. Now he is very satisfied with this kind of life.

"Everyone, I wish you success. I will not participate." After saying this, the man bowed and turned to leave the small courtyard with his guards.

The yard was silent for several seconds before a middle-aged man frowned and asked, "Are you really going to let them go like this?"

"Forget it. With just over 200 of them, including a bunch of old, weak and sick people, they can't do anything. Since he wants to protect himself, let him do it." One of the older people sighed.

The others thought the same thing. Yu Mian was too soft-hearted. In addition to his own family, he also helped a lot of poor people.

Instead of wasting so many resources on the old, weak, sick and disabled people, it would be better to make some contribution to the anti-Qin cause.

Of course, they didn't say these words in public.

This matter was over, and the people in the courtyard began to discuss the next anti-Qin plan.

"Another exam is about to begin. The court is in need of talents. I think this is a great opportunity for us. We can..." One of the old men was holding a teacup, his eyes calm as he expressed his opinion.
