    "The king must be benevolent, but the world is initially settled, and there are many people who need the power of the people. In this case! There will be no people's power available. What should we do?" Chunyu Yue took the lead and said hurriedly.

    Fan Sui originally wanted to remonstrate, but Chun Yuyue unexpectedly got the upper hand.  What he said was exactly what Fan Sui wanted to say. He nodded slightly and agreed with it.

    "Yes, Your Majesty, please think twice." The people in the palace said in unison.

    Anyone can understand that the great conflicts of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period left too many problems behind. To eradicate these long-standing disadvantages, a lot of people's power will be needed. This is inevitable.  Qin Yiren imposed a strict rule that the corvee service could not exceed one hundred miles from the place where the home was located, and those who exceeded the limit would be compensated with money and grain. Although this was convenient for the common people, it also reduced a lot of people, which made people worried.

    "With money and food, are you still worried about having no one?" Qin Yiren was full of confidence. He waved his right hand and said grandly: "I have my own way to this matter. Just don't worry, what needs to be done is  He has a lot of things, but he doesn¡¯t worry about the people."

    In the eyes of the ancients during the Warring States Period, not caring about the people but still doing a lot of things was tantamount to "wanting good horses but not giving them grass to eat." This was impossible.  Although they admired Qin Yiren very much, they didn't quite believe him.

    "Your Majesty, you didn't tell lies, did you?" Fan Sui hesitated for a while and then asked.

    These words were exactly what the people in the palace were thinking, and they were all looking at Qin Yiren.

    "You have nothing to say." Qin Yiren was full of confidence.

    After discussing the matter for a while, they dispersed.

    When Qin Yiren went back, he saw Zhao Ji, Mrs. Qing, and Mengyi laughing and chatting together.  The two brothers Ying Zheng and Ying were fighting and roaring loudly.

    "Zheng'er, come here." Qin Yiren waved to the two little guys.

    Today, Ying Zheng is already a teenager, tall, no less than 1.8 meters tall. In a few years, 1.9 meters will not be a problem.  Moreover, he is very handsome. Whenever he appears in the streets of Xianyang, he will attract many people's screams.

    "Father, my brother bullied me. Father, you have to punish me." Ying sued Diao.

    "Father, please don't listen to his nonsense. I am so well-behaved, sensible and kind, how could I bully him?" Ying Zheng hurriedly defended himself, not forgetting to give himself a pat on the back.

    Whenever two brothers see Qin Yiren, one will complain and the other will make such boastful arguments, which makes Qin Yiren laugh.

    "My father asked you, are you willing to be emperor?" Qin Yiren asked the two little guys.

    "No!" The young master shook his head hurriedly and kept saying: "What's the good of being an emperor? You work so hard that you don't even have time to eat or sleep. I want to be like my mother, the biggest merchant in the world, and have a lot of money.  , not working hard yet.¡±

    "Son, you really don't want to be the emperor?" Qin Yiren asked in surprise.

    "Of course." Ying Yiyi's head shook like a rattle, and he almost twisted his neck. He leaned into Mrs. Qing's arms and said coquettishly: "Mom, don't use up all the gold, keep it for me."

    "You child" Mrs. Qing stroked Ying's head with pity and smiled at Qin Yiren: "Your Majesty, your son is like a minister and concubine. He doesn't like politics but likes business. Let him engage in business.  Bar."

    "Where is Zheng'er?" Qin Yiren asked Ying Zheng.

    Zhao Ji was quite nervous, her eyes widened, and she kept blinking at Ying Zheng, asking him to say no.

    "This is the first time Qin Yi has asked him like this. There must be something big happening. Zhao Ji is afraid that Ying Zheng doesn't know the heights of the world and says the wrong thing, which will cause big trouble."

    ¡°Father, it¡¯s up to God to do so.¡± Ying Zheng thought for a while and said.

    "Slick! You are really his little slick." Qin Yiren stretched out his hand and scratched Ying Zheng's nose.

    Ying Zheng was dissatisfied and protested: "Father, you bully me again."

    "Pah!" Qin Yiren slapped Ying Zheng on the butt with his right hand and said, "This is called bullying."

    Ying Zheng swallowed his tongue, made a face, and stopped talking.

    "Madam, do me a favor." Qin Yiren said to Mrs. Qing: "You are the largest merchant in the world and have a high prestige among merchants. You can help the Chu Di Yidun family and the Zhao Dizhuo family.  , the Tian family of Qidi, the Bai family of Wei County, and other well-known merchants of all sizes wrote letters, inviting them to gather in Xianyang and saying that we have important matters to discuss."

    "Your Majesty, you can issue the order directly. I'm sorry they dare not not come." Mrs. Qing was stunned.

    Qin Yiren is the emperor, and he has issued a decree. Who among these merchants dares not to come?

    "I've issued an edict, but you haven't scared them out of their wits? They thought I was interested in their money bags." Qin Yiren said.

    "That being the case, then I, my concubine,??Repair books.  "Mrs. Qing is a capable person. Once she made the decision, she immediately started to repair the book.

    When he went to the study, Qin Yiren was handling official business. Fan Sui brought several servants and sent two things, one was the crown and the other was the royal robe. He said: "Your Majesty, the crown and the royal robe are ready. Please take a look at them."  .¡±

    Qin Yiren put down the bamboo slip in his hand, stood up, picked up the crown and took a look. He saw that the crown was very well made, with many pearls inlaid on it. It was very valuable. The crown alone was worth tens of thousands of gold.

    ??Looking at the royal robe again, it is exquisitely made and worth a lot of money, at least worth tens of thousands of gold.

    Qin Yiren shook his head and said, "No, do it again."

    "Your Majesty, time is tight, I'm afraid it will be too late to do it again." Fan Sui hurriedly explained.

    Time has already passed. Tomorrow is the time for Qin Yiren to ascend the throne. It is too late to do it again.

    "Fan Sui, Fan Sui, when have you ever been so luxurious? Look at this crown, isn't it worth tens of thousands of gold?" Qin Yi said in a deep voice with a face on his face: "The world has just been settled, and there are many places where money is needed.  Here we are. Great Qin values ??frugality and not luxury, how could you forget it so quickly?"

    "Your Majesty, you have wronged me. I also advocate frugality. However, this matter is a public discussion. Famous and learned men in Shandong advocate this. Saying otherwise will not be enough to show your merit." Fan Sui was a little distressed and said:  "The public opinions are fierce, but I can't do it."

    "If not, it's not enough to show off one's achievements? What a joke!" Qin Yiren said coldly: "According to what they say, the more expensive the crown on the head, the greater the achievements? Then, those extravagant kings in Shandong will not  The country will be destroyed. It is a big fallacy. The merits of a man are not the value of the crown on his head, but whether the people of the country live and work in peace and contentment, whether they have food to eat and whether they have clothes to wear. If the people of the country live and work in peace and contentment and the world is healthy, even if  Wearing a bamboo crown on my head is also a sign of great achievements. If the common people of the country do not have enough to eat, do not wear warm clothes, and cannot live and work in peace and contentment, their lives will be precarious. Even if the crown on my head is priceless, it will be in vain."

    These words were so reasonable that Fan Sui was sincerely convinced and said: "Your Majesty is wise."

    "Take it off and redo it, no more than ten gold." Qin Yiren said solemnly.

    "Ten gold? Your Majesty, is this too little?" Fan Sui was stunned for a moment, then tried to dissuade him and said, "No matter what I say, the emperor cannot be so shabby."

    Ten gold is indeed too little for the emperor. It can be said to be very shabby.

    "Ten gold is quite a lot. Ten gold is enough to support a middle-class family for a year or two." Qin Yiren said with some seriousness, "Prime Minister, have you ever thought about it? I am the founder of the country, and my words and deeds will  They will all be imitated by future generations. If a few people are extravagant and extravagant, what will the kings of future generations do? Why not collect all the treasures in the world?"

    This is very reasonable. The words and deeds of the founder of a country are the standards for future generations. If Qin Yiren is extravagant, future generations will definitely be extremely extravagant.  If Qin Yiren is frugal, although it may not necessarily make future generations frugal, at least it will have a good binding force.

    "I admire the king's foresight and foresight, so let's change it." Fan Sui greatly agreed with this and immediately left with the crown and royal robe.

    The next day was the big day when Qin Yiren ascended the throne as emperor. The city of Xianyang was filled with joy, everyone was wearing new clothes, and the joy was indescribable. It was even more joyful than the Chinese New Year.

    The symbolic significance of Qin Yiren's ascension to the throne is very great. It means that the Qin State has achieved great success and the great wars of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period have officially ended.  At the same time, it also means that a new era that will carry forward the past and open up the future is coming. Who can not be happy?

    During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the people suffered terribly and suffered unspeakably. Countless families were destroyed and countless people died in ditches. The age of great strife is over, and a new era is coming, which means that there will be good days ahead.  , who can not hope?

    Famous and well-educated scholars from Shandong Province prepared splendid articles, ready to praise Qin Yiren when he ascended the throne.  Of course, there are those who are flatterers, and there are those who are sincere in their praise.

    However, what they didn¡¯t expect was that their preparations were in vain and they had no chance at all.

    The process of Qin Yiren's ascension to the throne lasted very short time, less than an hour.

    The first thing is, of course, to offer sacrifices to the heaven, earth, mountains and rivers. This is a must-have gift during the Warring States Period, and a major event like enthronement cannot be missed.

    ¡°Then we went to the ancestral temple to pay homage to our ancestors and let them know under the Nine Springs that after hundreds of years of hard work, the Qin State finally achieved great things and unified the world.

    The third thing is to put on the crown and the imperial robe. Qin Yiren officially became the "Emperor" and no longer the "Qin Emperor".

    The fourth thing is to accept the congratulations from the ministers, which does not take long.  Many peopleThey wanted to praise Tong, but Qin Yiren didn't give them a chance. As soon as he finished the simple congratulations, Qin Yiren waved his hand and said: "I ascend the throne and cannot live without the queen. Zhao Ji has been with me for a long time and has good conduct.  She has never been immoral and should be the queen."

    "Zhao Ji in history met unkind people and met Lu Buwei, and eventually became a slut, bringing shame to Qin and ridicule by future generations.  However, today, when Zhao Ji meets Qin Yiren, not only is she not immoral, but she is also very helpful. It can be said that she is very virtuous and is loved by all the ministers. No one has any objections to her as a queen.

    After being granted the seal to Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji officially became the queen.

    The fifth thing is to establish the crown prince. At this point, many people understand that Mrs. Qing is also virtuous and was not appointed as the queen. This is the reason, because Qin Yiren wants to establish Ying Zheng as the crown prince. A son is more valuable than his mother. Zhao  Ji must be the queen.

    Ying Zheng was only thirteen or fourteen years old, but he was extremely intelligent and talented. The courtiers greatly praised him. No one had any objections to him being the crown prince.

    In this way, Ying Zheng officially became the crown prince.

    The reason why Qin Yiren established the crown prince so early was because Ying Zheng was extremely talented and he was the most suitable to be the crown prince.  The second reason is because Qin Yiren does not want to repeat the mistakes of history.  Historically, Fusu was not established as the prince. This was the reason why Zhao Gaolisi was able to correct the imperial edict. If Fusu was established as the prince, his succession would be justified, and maybe the Qin Dynasty would not perish.

    The last thing is to give the ministers a banquet and let them drink heavily.  Then, Qin Yiren issued an order for them to rush back and perform their duties and fulfill their responsibilities.
