Chapter 225: This is how my people in the Qin Dynasty were harmed by you?

"The flood in Dongjun has caused disasters to the sixteen counties. I intend to let the other counties open warehouses and release grain to help the victims. What do you think?"

Ying Zheng sat in a high position, his expression glanced at Li Si and others with a faint expression.

Zhao Hao stood in the corner, silent.

Although the two of them have communicated ways to provide disaster relief.

But they did not implement disaster relief, but wanted to hear the opinions of their ministers.

At this time, Li Si stepped forward and bowed: "Report to Your Majesty, I think this matter is inappropriate!"

"What's wrong? Tell me!"

Ying Zheng raised his hand to signal.

But Li Si said seriously: "Your Majesty, according to Qin's laws, I, the Qin Dynasty, have always been paying attention to the clear distinction between rewards and punishments for more than a hundred years. It is inappropriate for Your Majesty to make the people rewarded without merit!"

"I suggest that your Majesty just send someone to strengthen the dam to prevent the flood from recurring!"

Hearing Li Si's words, Ying Zheng's face turned solemn.

The Qin Law does have provisions.

People are rewarded for their merits.

If you have no merit, you cannot be rewarded.

If the people are rewarded with merit and without merit, it is a chaotic way.

This is the strategy proposed by Li Si to govern the people.

It is obviously impossible to make him deny this national policy.

Therefore, Ying Zheng did not have any hope for him.

But at this time, many censors present agreed with Li Si.

After all, the Guizhou leaders in Dongjun were still a little dissatisfied with the rule of the Qin Dynasty. If they were not concerned about them, it would naturally be unnecessary to manage the floods in Dongjun.

After a little silence, Ying Zheng ignored Li Si and turned to look at Feng Quji: "What do Feng Qing think?"

"this"

Feng Quji hesitated for a moment and said, "Go back to Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Li Tingwei's words are a bit biased!"

"The East County and the Sixteen counties have been in charge of our Qin State, which is considered a merit, and working hard on our Qin State, which is also considered a merit. Although they are from the homelands of the six countries, they cannot be said to be ineffective."

"Feng Zuoxiang's words are wrong!"

Before Feng Quji finished speaking, Yao Jia said coldly: "The people who are in charge of the Six Kingdoms are prisoners and have not yet achieved any results in hard work. How can we be considered a merit?

My Great Qin established a country with law. If Your Majesty does this, it will be like a chaotic law!"

"not to mention."

As he spoke, he changed his mind and looked at Ying Zheng again: "My Qin is attacking the Huns in the north, and the money and food are all relieved. There is a shortage of money and food in the north. How should we deal with it?"

"I am asking Cele now, not asking you to throw the questions to me!"

Ying Zheng said with a cold expression.

Yao Jia and Li Si looked at each other, then bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I support Li Tingwei when it comes to floods. My Qin Dynasty has always been in charge of disaster management and does not provide disaster relief, in order to prevent things that are not worth it!"

"Besides, disaster relief is not necessarily a good thing!"

"Um?"

Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhao Hao quietly.

But when Zhao Hao was also confused.

Only Yao Jia said seriously: "There was a severe drought in Zhao State that year, and the King of Zhao sent people to provide relief. As a result, the money and food were all misappropriated by corrupt officials, causing the people to live in poverty, which gave our Qin army an opportunity to take advantage of it. The lessons learned from the past have to be

cautious!"

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes and did not express his opinion. He turned to look at Wang Wan:

"Why didn't the old prime minister say a word?"

"this"

Wang Wan's attention was on Zhao Hao. Suddenly, he heard Ying Zheng's inquiry, and was stunned. He immediately bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, I think all the ministers are right, so please make a decision."

"."

Ying Zheng's face darkened. He was about to scold Wang Wan, but suddenly he thought of something and said lightly: "You are all knowledgeable and talented people. I must have read a lot of books. I want to ask you, but I can hear it.

Have you ever used labor for relief?”

"Um?"

Everyone was stunned and couldn't help but look confused.

Ying Zheng raised his lips slightly and looked at Zhao Hao again.

Zhao Hao turned his head away and did not look at him. He cursed in his heart: "Cao."

"cough!"

Ying Zheng coughed lightly and asked again with pride:

"Who are you all the good friends who have heard the story of 'carving a boat and asking for a sword'?"

"Carry a boat and ask for a sword?"

Everyone was stunned again, and after a while, their faces changed drastically.

This story of "carving a boat and seeking a sword" comes from "Lüshi Chunqiu".

It was compiled by Lu Buwei summoned his disciples, and Li Si also compiled it.

Since Lu Buwei's death, this "Lüshi Chunqiu" has become a taboo for Ying Zheng.

Now that Ying Zheng mentioned the story in "Lüshi Chunqiu", was he trying to beat Li Si?

Just as everyone was thinking about it and Li Si's scalp was numb, Ying Zheng continued:

"The way to govern the country lies in the creation of laws and regulations by wise men, and mediocre people follow the old days. Our Qin Dynasty has poor land and strong people's customs. Therefore, the legal system is strict, so we can face it with the ears;

But now, our Great Qin has unified the six countries and has a prosperous place for the six countries. We still have to follow the old system. Isn’t that the Chu people ‘carved boats and asked for swords’?”

"As Your Majesty said, isn't disaster relief following the old system?"

Li Si asked in confusion.

Ying Zheng glanced at him and said lightly: "Of course not.

The old system I follow is different from the old system you are familiar with!”

"You may ask your Majesty, what's the difference?"

Yao Jia couldn't help asking.

Ying Zheng smiled without answering, and turned to Li Si: "Can Li Tingwei read "Yan Zi Chunqiu"?"

Li Si: "."

What's going on?

Why did you ask me again!

It was clearly Yao Jia who asked!

Li Si felt that he was targeted, but he dared not not answer Ying Zheng’s question, so he answered respectfully: “Your Majesty, I have read it.”

"Can Li Tingwei know about Yan Zi's road construction and relief work?"

"this"

Li Si was stunned, and the rest looked at each other. Ying Zheng smiled meaningfully and said, "Yan Zi helped the disaster relief, Duke Jing refused. At that time, Yan Zi built a road platform for Duke Jing, so he recruited hungry people as workers. After three years, Taicheng was completed and relief was provided to the people."

At this point, he paused and said with emotion: "You don't know this old system. It seems that you have read less books!"

"."

When Li Si and others heard Ying Zheng's words, their faces turned red and they were speechless.

Grass!

His Majesty pretended to be there again.

This method is unique.

It can not only provide disaster relief, but also does not violate the laws of the Qin Dynasty.

It's the best of both worlds.

"Your Majesty, I admire you!"

Li Si, Feng Quji, Wang Wan, Yao Jia and others all bowed to Ying Zheng.

Zhao Hao rolled his eyes wildly, not knowing what to say.
