Chapter 9 You are going to make trouble
The Qin Emperor Mausoleum is located in LZ District, XA City. It was a suburb of Xianyang, the capital of the Qin Dynasty. The Qin Emperor Mausoleum was not developed. The so-called looking at the Qin Emperor Mausoleum means going to see the Terracotta Warriors and Horses. The Terracotta Warriors are located in the pit of the pottery of about 1.5 kilometers east of the Qin Emperor Mausoleum.
The Qin Emperor's Mausoleum is located in the south of Mount Li and the Wei River in the north. Its projects are vast, the number of workers is used, and the duration is unprecedented. It is precisely because of this that the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum has been unable to be excavated so far.
When the bus stopped in the Terracotta Warriors and the tour guided everyone down, Qin Mubai naturally followed Lao Qin and walked at the end.
Qin Mubai didn't know that Old Qin had seen his tomb, but the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum at that time was definitely different from now. The only remaining Qin Emperor's Mausoleum now is underground buildings, but there were above-ground buildings at that time.
At that time, the King of Chu Xiang Yu once invaded the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum and carried out extensive damage. The excavated Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit No. 4 had pits but no terracotta figurines, but there were burning marks on the ground, which may have been caused by the peasant uprising at that time.
"Welcome to our famous Terracotta Warriors, which is also one of the eight wonders of the world, and also one of the world cultural heritage sites. It is one of the earliest ancient relics listed in China as part of the world cultural heritage. As we all know, Terracotta Warriors are the burial figurines of the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, because there was a tradition of living people burying their lives earlier in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, but in the Qin Dynasty, human figures were used instead of living people burying their lives on a large scale." The tour guide before began to understand.
Although we were walking at the end, Qin Mubai and Lao Qin could naturally hear it, "Everyone knows that our technology has not been able to fully unearthly excavate the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum so far, so what we can see so far is the tip of the iceberg of the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum."
"But in history, the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum has actually encountered dozens of large-scale excavations, and it has been found in all dynasties and generations. The biggest one was the earliest late period of the demise of the Qin Dynasty. Xiang Yu, the king of Chu, led his army to break through Guanzhong and destroyed the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum. The buildings on the ground were destroyed and the imperial tombs were excavated. As for what was founded, no one knew anything. The subsequent establishment of the Han Dynasty, in order to win people's hearts, Liu Bang, the Emperor of Han, sent people to properly protect the Qin Tombs, and allowed twenty families to live near the Qin Tombs to become the guardians. In history, people had excavated thefts in all dynasties, including during the warlords' melee in modern times."
Qin Mubai felt a little nervous. Although he didn't know what Old Qin was feeling now, he thought that anyone who knew that his grave had been dug by so many people would probably not be in a good mood.
He secretly looked at Lao Qin next to him and found that Lao Qin's expression was very calm, but the expression was already slightly sarcastic and disdainful in his eyes.
"Well, tour guide, please comment on Qin Shihuang?" A tourist in the queue suddenly asked loudly.
Upon hearing this question, Qin Mubai almost fell to the ground. Damn, brother, don’t make trouble. You are here for travel, probably not interested in history.
But Qin Mubai couldn't say this now. Old Qin's face had a look of interest. Obviously, he also wanted to hear what future generations said about him.
"Qin Shihuang, as the first emperor in Chinese history, his achievements are undoubtedly great. After all, he was the first emperor to unify China, and there is no doubt that the title of the emperor of the age will be." The tour guide said with a smile.
Qin Mubai breathed a sigh of relief. Just whisper a few more words and change the topic quickly.
But before his heart was put in his stomach, he heard the tour guide start talking again, and in an instant he lifted his heart up again.
"However, although he is known as the emperor of the ages, he is also an individual. No one is perfect, and Qin Shihuang must have made many big and small mistakes in his life. For example, this Qin Emperor Mausoleum used more than 700,000 people, of which more than 800,000 were at its peak, and it was built for 39 years in total. This was a waste of people and money, which was undoubtedly a huge consumption of the Qin Dynasty's national strength at that time."
"What's more, when he built the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, he also built the Great Wall. In order to resist the Huns, he could almost say that he consumed a lot of manpower and material resources of the Qin State at that time, which was also the reason why the Qin Dynasty was directly destroyed in Qin II later." The tour guide said there.
As soon as the tour guide finished speaking, Qin Mubai had already noticed that Lao Qin, whose face was a little ugly, couldn't help it, and directly spoke sternly: "Barring the bullshit!"
Lao Qin's words were quite loud. Although this time was not the peak tourist season in Xi'an, there were also many tourists around him. Fortunately, most of them were paying attention to their team, but everyone in Qin Mubai and his team heard it.
The tour guide's face was stunned for a moment, but before he could speak, Old Qin directly spoke loudly: "I, oh, as the first person to unify the six kingdoms, after unifying the six kingdoms, the six kingdoms were prisoners of war, prisoners, kings, ministers, nobles and slaves standing in the kings of various countries, and at least millions of visitors. How should I deal with these prisoners of war without building the Great Wall and the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum? Kill them all? If they are killed, it is possible that later generations will give him the title of killing innocent people."
"And although hundreds of thousands of prisoners have been spent on manpower and material resources, it effectively reduces the great possibility of conflicts and conflicts in China, reduces the possibility of social unrest, and exchanges for a Great Wall for future generations at the lowest cost. It is no mistake."
Although Lao Qin's voice was quite loud, it was calm and powerful. And this... don't say it, at least it sounds very reasonable, and if you think from Lao Qin's perspective... this is really fucking.
"Uh, that old man, don't be excited. Let's discuss it from the perspective of future generations. No one knows what was going on at that time, right? Maybe what you said makes sense." The tour guide was also a little frustrated. I'm just talking about the matter, and I'm talking about things in history books. Are you so serious about me?
But the tourists are God, and as a tour guide, he can't argue with the tourists.
The tour guide had a good attitude, but some people in the team were unhappy: "Hey, I said, what you said may make sense, but so much manpower and material resources were spent to build a tomb. Why didn't he send these people to the north to build the Great Wall more solid?"
"Ignorance, who are those prisoners? The aristocratic and power classes of various countries. It can be said that Qin Shihuang unified the main leadership after the country was unified and transferred all these people to the north? What do you think? What if they ran away? Wouldn't that give them the opportunity to rebel?" Old Qin said sarcastically.
"Okay, even if what you said makes sense, it's always wrong for him to burn books and bury scholars? The cultural treasures that have been circulating in China for many years have been burned."
Old Qin was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Lao Qin's expression, the man immediately became proud: "What? Is there nothing to say?"
"I said you are an idiot? As the first person to unify the six kingdoms, what books did he burn? They were all books such as "Poetry" and "Music". In that era, most of these books were praising the ruling classes of various countries. If these books were not burned, how could they talk about rule? And as medical books, did he burn books on agronomy? Didn't burn them! Those so-called praises of the leadership classes of various countries, founding stages, and even the genealogy of kings of various countries, and even some mythological deeds, as the only emperor who unified the six kings at that time, Qin Shihuang did not burn them, and kept them as the spiritual sustenance of those rebels?"
Lao Qin quickly realized what it means to burn books and bury scholars, and he spoke directly with a sarcasm.
