152 The world confiscated the swords and armor, and the twelve golden men shook the sky.
"Your Majesty, I have a plan to defeat the turmoil of the people in the world!" Lu Bu, who was ranked as the general, stood out from the queue and shouted loudly with both hands.
The civil and military ministers in the palace saw that it was Lu Bu's request to report, and all of them were quiet. However, since Lu Bu joined the Qin State, he showed his skills in killing the enemy or making suggestions. (The title of Emperor Qin Shihuang was also presented by Lu Bu) In the eyes of everyone, this young man who was suspected of descendants of Lu Buwei was agile. Maybe he would come up with a good idea this time. [..com]
The First Emperor Ying Zheng half-depressed his body on the table in front of him, holding his dizzy head with his right hand. The quarrels between the civil and military officials below really made him feel a little headache. Lu Bu's clear and loud shout seemed to have added a dose of stimulant to him. The First Emperor Ying Zheng stood up and stared at the tall and handsome figure below: "What are the plans for Lu Aiqing, come on quickly."
After sorting out his thoughts, Lu Bu said loudly: "Your Majesty's worries are nothing more than the indiscriminate killing of the people in the world, and people are indeed indiscriminately killed, but the weapons and armor used by the indiscriminately people in the uprising can indeed be eliminated!"
The first time, Emperor Ying Zheng heard the opinions that he did not need to reduce taxes, add a garrison, and stop building a project of charity. He ignored the shocking and suspicion of the civil and military officials. His eyes shone and asked quickly: "What Lu Aiqing is talking about is the weapons and armor used to eliminate the rioters? How to handle it specifically?"
"Your Majesty can issue an edict to order all the people of the world to collect all the weapons, armor, and even chopping knives of the people that do not match the size to Xianyang. If you dare not follow or hide the weapons and armor, you will be punished as a crime of rebellion! There are several benefits after collecting all the weapons and armor of the people in Xianyang: First, you can obtain a large amount of military armor without spending a gold and a copper. Your Majesty can return these things to the furnace to make the weapons used by our army, or store these things for future use.
The second is to make the ill-behaved people in the world feel terrified. After these people have no weapons and armor, even if they do not give up and continue to cause harm to the other side, the local garrison soldiers will definitely easily kill these chaotic people without weapons and armor. In the long run, the people in the world will know that once the uprising is caused by an egg, there will naturally be no chaotic people and disasters in the world." Lu Bu said this, but he muttered in his heart that if Qin Shihuang really wanted to overhaul the Afang Palace, the Great Wall, and the royal tomb, even without weapons and armor, he would not be able to stop the indignation of the chaotic people in the world. At that time, even a long bamboo or a big stone can become the chaotic people in the world! Even if it is a body of blood stains and sweat, it can become the armor of the chaotic people in the world! In short, the matter is done by man.
No matter how effective the method proposed by Lu Bu will be in the future, at least in the eyes of the First Emperor Ying Zheng and the rest of the civil and military personnel, Lu Bu's method is extremely wonderful! The biggest reason why the chaos in the world is that when the six countries of Zhao, Han, Wei, Yan, Qi and Chu were destroyed, a large number of defeated soldiers were hidden among the people. These defeated soldiers had no stable source of income only rely on the weapons on their hands and armor on their bodies. Once all the weapons and armor on their bodies were ordered to be collected, the remnants of these six countries would be like a blow, and they would not be able to be free and happy within at least a few years, and the public security in all parts of the world would be greatly improved.
"Wonderful! It's really wonderful!! Just use this method! I will issue an order today to collect all the weapons and armors used by the people. The garrisons in various counties, cities and villages in the world are responsible for supervising and transporting these weapons and armors to Xianyang. If the people resist and refuse to hand over the weapons and armors in their hands, they will be punished according to the crime of rebellion and will be killed without mercy!!" The First Emperor Ying Zheng was extremely excited. The problem that had been entangled with him for a long time was finally solved, and it was not done with tax reduction and tax relief or suspension of projects. How could he not be happy? For Lu Bu, who offered this method, the First Emperor Ying Zheng decided to give him a plate of gold as a reward.
Lu Bu naturally knew that he could not get a higher title just because he made a little opinion, but he received a plate of gold worthless as a reward for his innocence, which also made Lu Bu very satisfied.
The edict of the First Emperor Ying Zheng quickly spread to the towns and pavilions of various counties. Although officials in some places encountered great resistance in the confiscation of civil weapons and armor. (Just like the United States has suddenly implemented the comprehensive confiscation of civil guns, are you willing to give your own guns to the government unconditionally?) However, with the help of countless Qin army soldiers, swords and halberds, powerful crossbows, countless old swords, halberds, swords and guns of the six countries were transported to Xianyang in piles. Although there were some casualties in the Qin soldiers during this process, in the view of the First Emperor Ying Zheng, the short pain is worse than short pain. Today's short pain is to avoid long pain in the future. Therefore, even if there were a lot of casualties, the strength of confiscation of weapons and armor is only strengthened without any slight slack.
The weapons and armor from the people were transported to Xianyang in large numbers. In addition to making the "remnants" of the six countries hidden among the people panic, this incident also made some vendors who relied on building weapons and armor for their vitality to panic.
Who is the First Emperor Ying Zheng? He can be regarded as the King of Qin who hates vendors the most! (Because his real father is a big vendor who says the classic quote that strange goods are available. It is normal for his real father to have an aversion to the vendor industry.) No matter whether the weapons and armor you produce are sold to be good or chaotic, after his edict, all things that can be related to weapons and armor must be confiscated!
Don’t think that as a commodity in your store, we will take inclusive measures against these things, because it is you guys selling weapons and armor that have caused a crisis in the security of our Qin Dynasty! So I’m sorry, the things in your store, the things in the warehouse, and even the unfinished products being cast will all be confiscated! Why, are you reluctant to give them? Do you see the bloody heads on the waist of those Qin army soldiers holding swords, halberds, and crossbows? The guys who refuse to hand over to try to disobey the will of the First Emperor will end up!!
Countless foundry craftsmen who made great money during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period faced the confiscation of the Qin Empire without any mercy. After they tried to cry and make trouble, some of them could only curse and take the last solution - endurance! (Let them commit suicide? They don't do it.)
Although the Qin Empire confiscated the civilian weapons and the orders of armor and armor were very unfavorable to these foundry craftsmen and vendors who made a living by casting weapons and armor, there was no absolute problem in the world, and these people finally came up with a solution.
The first person to come up with a solution was the famous foundry family in the late Warring States Period: Kong family. Kong family (anonymous) was born in Wei, and he used iron smelting as his business. After Qin destroyed Wei, Kong family was moved to Wan. Kong family continued to operate the iron smelting industry in Wan and also engaged in business. Because he was good at using the money he earned to make friends with princes and "Youxian Gongzi" and others, he gained a lot of convenience in smelting and business, "winning too much", "get rich for thousands of gold from his family", and became a great merchant in Wan. His way of getting rich was therefore imitated by local merchants.
When the Qin Empire began to confiscate weapons nationwide and armored, the always-savvy leader of the Kong clan immediately snatched the weapons and armored animals in his shop before the officials in Wandi seized the weapons and armored animals in his shop. He used a connection from Xianyang officials to actively apply to the local officials to become the Qin ** magic weapon. After spending a lot of money, he finally passed the application and became a casting craftsman who served the Qin Dynasty. Although it was naturally impossible to earn a lot of money from selling them to various "heroes" before, at least the Kong clan saved the weapons and armored animals in their warehouses by holding their thighs, and obtained a way to survive.
After the Kong clan became the exclusive craftsmen of the Great Qin Empire and was able to preserve the weapons in the shop, the news spread, the casting craftsmen from all over the country had an extra way to join the Great Qin Empire and become the exclusive craftsmen of the Great Qin Empire. (This is also the way left by the First Emperor Ying Zheng in order to avoid the weapons of the garrison soldiers in various places in the future. After the armor was broken, there was no craftsmen who could repair or maintain them, and reluctantly left these casting craftsmen...)
When the First Emperor Ying Zheng saw a hill made of weapons and armor, the First Emperor Ying Zheng had a sudden idea and ordered the weapons and armor to be re-made into gold (metal) water. The twelve giant gold men respected 240,000 jin (some say 340,000 jin), he wanted to use these to gather countless weapons and armor to suppress the national destiny of the Qin Empire! After casting some gold and water born by these giant gold men, the First Emperor Ying Zheng asked the craftsmen to cast many bells for him and placed them in the Qin Palace for viewing and enjoyment.
Speaking of the matter of the twelve golden men in the First Emperor Ying Zheng, the craftsmen asked the twelve golden men when they were preparing to cast, and asked him what he wanted to cast the twelve golden men. The twelve golden men had considered casting all of them into his own wise and magical appearance for future generations and descendants and ministers to admire and worship.
But at this time, news came from the border that Ruan Wengzhong, the general stationed in Lintao, was responsible for shocking the Huns, passed away. Emperor Ying Zheng of the First Emperor had seen Ruan Wengzhong, the most powerful man in the Qin army (the giant's martial arts skills were no less than Lu Bu, at least he was even slightly better in terms of strength). After hearing that Ruan Wengzhong passed away, Emperor Ying Zheng of the First Emperor Ying Zheng recalled Ruan Wengzhong's giant spirit-like majestic appearance and immediately ordered those craftsmen who were preparing to cast the Jin people to follow the bodies left by Ruan Wengzhong as the model of the Jin people.
According to legend, when the twelve golden men were born, the sky that was originally cloudless suddenly became dark clouds. The First Emperor Ying Zheng murmured alone: "If the Qin Dynasty gets twelve Ruan Wengzhong like a person, what can't even be the emperor in the sky do?"
If you want to know what happens next, let’s see if you don’t cry and then break it down again~~
