READ WEBNOVEL Chapter 42
【Fourth, eager for quick success】
【Since the founding of the Qin Dynasty, Ying Zheng wiped out the six kingdoms, and the territory and population of the Qin Dynasty have expanded several times, which also laid the foundation for the future territory of China.】
【But at this time, what Ying Zheng should do most is to recuperate, appease the people, and give the people of the world a chance to breathe.】
【But Ying Zheng was a talented and strategic emperor. He wanted to do everything within his power in his lifetime.】
【After destroying the Six Kingdoms, Ying Zheng turned his attention to the nomads in the north.】
【In order to resist the Huns, he mobilized 300,000 troops to go north and took back the Hetao area. In order to prevent the Huns from going south, Ying Zheng mobilized hundreds of thousands of civilians to build the Great Wall in the north.】
【Building the Great Wall was a huge project. Many people were gone for several years, and many people died of exhaustion while building the Great Wall.】
【Building the Great Wall is beneficial to the country and can well deter the Xiongnu, but such a large-scale project requires unprecedented use of civilian power.】
【In addition to building the Great Wall, Ying Zheng also built several highways that ran through major cities across the country in order to rule the country more conveniently.】
【Ying Zheng's five eastward inspections all took Chidao. This was a project no less important than the Great Wall. However, Yingzheng completed the construction of several Chidao in more than ten years.】
【It can be imagined how much manpower and material resources Da Qin used to build Chidao.】
【There are also repairs to the Ling Canal, the Mausoleum of the King of Qin, and the Epang Palace. Each of these projects is extremely huge.】
【It can be seen that Ying Zheng is indeed talented and strategic. Everything he does is majestic and large-scale.】
【Such abuse of people's power will inevitably arouse complaints from the people. If the Great Wall is just built, and the people grit their teeth and hold on for a few years, maybe it will be fine.】
【But after building the Great Wall, we have to build the Chi Chi Road, after building the Chi Road we have to build the Mausoleum of King Qin, and after building the Mausoleum of King Qin we have to build the Epang Palace!】
【It was promised for three years, but it turned out that three years later, three years later, even after ten years, the corvee was still far away, the people were exhausted, the people were in dire straits, and there were many resentments in their hearts. When they began to break out, the Qin Dynasty was about to end. time. 】

"This cause of crime hits the nail on the head!! It simply touched Nai Gong’s heart!"
Liu Bang held the wine glass in one hand, pointed to the sky with the other, and said with great approval on his face:
"You said that this Ying Zheng has already wiped out the six kingdoms and established unparalleled achievements. Why is he still bothering like this? Isn't he tired?"
"That Baiyue is a place where birds don't shit, and the people there are as poor as ghosts. Why does Ying Zheng insist on having trouble with that place?"
"Does he still want to squeeze some money out of Baiyue?"
"There are also building Chi Road and building the Great Wall, one thing after another. The people in the world are doing corvee work seemingly endlessly. Even Naigong and I, as a pavilion chief, feel extremely tired, let alone those common people."
"At first, everyone thought that the world would be unified, and finally there would be no more wars, no more bloodshed, no more deaths, and everyone would be able to live a happy and healthy life with peace of mind."
"But what about the result? There were endless corvees to cope with. In addition to farming every day, drinking and singing were prohibited. Even talking loudly, for fear of being heard by Qin officials, they would think that they were discussing government affairs and slandering the court."
"What kind of fucking court is this? Ying Zheng basically treats us people as cattle and sheep raised by his old Qin family, and drives him to death without giving us any chance to breathe."
"Damn it, the destruction of the Qin Dynasty was caused by Ying Zheng himself! Liu
Bang was cursing, and the more he spoke, the more excited he became.
As an emperor, he admitted that Ying Zheng was more capable than him, but being capable is not necessarily a good thing.
Look at how many great things Ying Zheng did during his tenure, including pacifying the world and defeating the Huns. Conquer Baiyue, build the Great Wall, repair Chi Road, etc.
Each of these major events, if placed on an emperor, is enough to shine in history, but Ying Zheng wants to complete all of these during his reign.
The idea is good , but for the people of the world, it is simply a disaster.
The people's power is limited. If these people are used infinitely, then the people will not be able to bear the heavy corvee, and they will rise up.
Liu Bang has now calmed the world, which is for him That's enough. What's left is to choose an outstanding successor and hand over the country to him safely.
Each generation has its own political tasks. If one generation wants to accomplish what it takes several generations to accomplish, Things, that will cause big problems
"Your Majesty, your great talent, hit the nail on the head."
Chen Ping appeared at the right time and began to slap the horse fiercely at Liu Bang:
"Although this Yingzheng had achievements, he did not know how to show consideration for the people's power. He would only ask for it blindly, and eventually died as a second generation."
"The Qin Dynasty brought the blame upon itself, but we Han people obeyed the will of the people and punished the Qin Dynasty. Your Majesty was born at the right moment and should be the king of kings."
"Okay, stop bragging here. To be the King of Kings, Naigong just wants to live the rest of his life happily."
After Liu Bang heard Chen Ping's words, he felt a chill and had goosebumps all over his body.
"Nai Gong doesn't bother those people, and he doesn't want to waste so much effort to fight the Huns. If everyone is in peace, I will be content with this life."
As soon as these words came out, even Zhang Liang, who didn't like to talk, couldn't help but his eyes lit up and he praised Liu Bang:
"Your Majesty is as wise as a fool. This statement is very consistent with Huang Lao's way."
"If the world is governed by doing nothing, the country of Han Dynasty will prosper and prosper."
"Hahaha, I still understand me."
Liu Bang laughed happily, not caring about Chen Ping's resentful eyes.
He had been flattering him for so long, and he couldn't even say a few words about Zhang Liang....Dividing line...
