My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?

Chapter 335 Benevolence is only within the range of a heavy crossbow!

Shun's Qianqi dance was praised by many Confucian scholars in later generations, who believed that it represented Shun's virtue.

But in Ying Chengyu's view, Shun's behavior was equivalent to pulling a group of elite soldiers wearing heavy armor, holding a long ax in their left hand and a huge shield in their right hand, and riding on tall horses to dance in front of a group of unarmed people.

While dancing, he asked: Are you convinced? Are you convinced?

After you are convinced, kneel down to me and worship me as your Lord.

Dissatisfied?

If you don't accept it, you will be punished!
  The weapons of the Miao people were unable to break through the defenses of Shun's soldiers. How dare they refuse to accept it?
  Gonggong's behavior was almost equivalent to imitating Shun, and he also pulled a group of elite soldiers wearing heavy armor, holding a long ax in the left hand and a giant shield in the right hand, and riding tall horses to dance in front of the Maxim heavy machine gun position.

While dancing, he asked: Are you convinced? Are you convinced?

If the enemy doesn't pick up a bunch of bullets on the spot, it's just to watch the joke for a while!

So, is Shun's Qianqi dance really 'virtue' rather than 'military deterrence'?

Ying Chengxuan smiled and said: "In my opinion, Shun's Qianqi dance is not enough to prove the importance of virtue."

"This only shows that benevolence is only within the range of the heavy crossbow!"

Ying Zheng frowned slightly, thoughtfully, and murmured softly: "Technology, weapons, armor, tools...systems!"

A large amount of historical experience and other people's wisdom collided and sparked in Ying Zheng's brain, and finally Ying Zheng condensed and refined it into a spiritual light with his own wisdom!
  Ying Zheng suddenly asked: "Is it like iron tools to the reform?"

Before Ying Chengxuan could answer, Ying Zheng had already figured everything out, and he asked and answered himself with bright eyes: "Because the development of technology has made the price of iron more and more cheaper."

"Zheng and Chu were the first to have cheap and durable iron tools, so the child slaves (underage and adult slaves) of Zheng and Chu were the first to start rebellions. After that, child slaves from all over the world followed suit!"

"Cheap iron tools allowed the country to have more food, grass, weapons and armor, but it also gave the child slaves the power to resist."

“The rise of iron weapons not only made the country more courageous in foreign wars, but also made the internal strife more vigorous.”

"In a time of great strife, no country dares to weaken itself, so the only way to seek reform is to cure the child servants!"

Many people in later generations will learn a knowledge point when they are in high school: During the Warring States Period, the use of iron farm tools and cattle was further promoted, the level of social productivity continued to increase, the power of the emerging landlord class increased, and the old slave-owning class collapsed. In order to adapt to With the changes in social politics and economy, the rulers of various vassal states implemented changes and reforms to establish a new political and economic order.

But why do iron farm tools have so much magic power?

Could it be that the iron farm tools are enchanted and can increase attack speed, durability, rebellion, and harvest buffs during use?

In fact, iron farm tools are not as useful as bronze farm tools in a single use. However, in the late Warring States Period, the price of iron farm tools was much lower than bronze farm tools.

And although today's bronze weapons are better than iron weapons, in the low-end market of farm tools, iron farm tools are more durable and easier to maintain than bronze farm tools!

In the past, farm tools were precious and difficult for ordinary slaves to obtain. This made it almost impossible for slaves to complete the reclamation of wasteland and achieve self-sufficiency after escaping from their slave owners.

The low grain output also makes it difficult for individuals and families to accumulate grain, and their ability to resist risks is extremely poor.

In order to survive, slaves had to depend on their masters even if they were oppressed.

However, cheaper and more durable iron farm tools caused the inventory of farm tools to skyrocket and their prices to plummet. It also made it easier for slaves to obtain farm tools and reclaim wasteland.

The further use of cattle and iron tools also led to a surge in food production, giving individuals and families a certain ability to withstand risks.

This directly led to a question in the minds of the slaves.

Why are we being exploited?
  Wouldn’t it be better for us to go out and reclaim the land ourselves and make a living?
  As a result, thousands of slaves in the Zheng State revolted in 522 BC, and tens of thousands of slaves in the Chu State revolted in 506 BC, forcing King Chu Zhao to flee to Yunmengze for refuge. Slaves all over the world set off unrest one after another like fire cooking oil!
  This also forces various countries to carry out reforms and formulate new policies for governing the people based on the new social situation.

Perhaps the old aristocrats who promoted and developed iron tools did not expect that iron farm tools would overturn the era of the old aristocrats with just the two advantages of being cheap and durable!
  "An inconspicuous iron tool can make destiny change! How..." The more Ying Zheng thought about it, the more shocked he became. He couldn't even accurately describe his inner emotions in words. He could only tremble: "Incredible!"

Ying Chengyu smiled happily: "That's the truth."

"The emergence of the Iron Age forced the strategy of governing the world to change accordingly."

"After the strategy for governing the world changes, the strategy for conquering the world and motivating warriors will also change."

"I believe that technology is a revolutionary force that plays a driving role in history."

"Technology determines the foundation of people's livelihood, and the foundation of people's livelihood determines the way of governing the country!"

"So, technology is the foundation of everything!"

Ying Zheng was thoughtful again, and then showed a smile: "So, what good things does Wang brother have that he hides and tucks away until he has to take it out?"

"Brother Wang said so much, is he trying to persuade Brother Jian Nai to suppress the advancement of technology to prevent internal chaos in our Great Qin?"

Ying Chengyu said with emotion: "This is indeed what I have been thinking for a long time."

"To be precise, I always had this idea until the battle to destroy Wei."

"In my opinion, my brother, Da Qin, is already strong enough and does not need to develop technology to obtain any gains."

"Only a step-by-step war can realize Brother Wang's ideal."

"If I take out the new objects that I have studied, it will be a blessing or a curse for me, Da Qin."

"What if, because of my brother, the hard-won good situation of our Great Qin is destroyed, brother..."

Ying Chengyu's voice was a little more bitter: "I am ashamed of all the people of all ages!"Technology has never been simple.

Cheap iron tools can overthrow the old aristocracy. The addition of saddles and high bridges on both sides allowed the northern nomads to unleash their ferocity. An inconspicuous textile machine quietly started the industrial revolution.

The emergence of every technology will change the world in all aspects, and then lead the world in a direction that even the inventors of the technology could not predict!
  The conservatism deep inside Ying Chengxuan made him dare not bring more new technologies into Da Qin.

Maybe just because of a certain technology that Ying Chengyu randomly brought out, it caused turmoil within Daqin, and even changed the situation in the world?
  The demise of the Qin Dynasty is a trivial matter.

If China missed the opportunity to dominate the world because of himself, Ying Chengyu felt that Qin Hui was qualified to kick him!
  The huge pressure made Ying Chengyu dare not even make a piece of soap!
  Seeing Ying Chengyu's serious face and slightly bent back, Ying Zheng comforted him with a distressed and warm voice: "You think too much."

"None of this is what you should be thinking about."

"Just do what you want to do. As for whether you want to do it in the world, Brother Nai is still watching over you."

"If it is true that the world is in turmoil because of what you did, it is all my brother's fault!"

"Don't forget, Brother Nai is the king of Great Qin!"

Only today did Ying Zheng realize how much pressure Ying Chengxuan was under.

But in Ying Zheng's view, none of these pressures should be borne by Ying Chengxuan.

Ying Zheng is the decision-maker of Da Qin!
  If there is a mistake in decision-making, Ying Zheng will be the one to bear the blame.

When he meets his ancestors under Jiuquan in the future, he, Ying Zheng, will be the one kneeling at the front!

Ying Chengyu smiled in relief: "At the time of destroying Wei, there will be a shortage of food and grass, strong enemies will surround us, and the roads will be difficult to navigate."

"If the reinforcements hadn't arrived in time, I might have died in Anling City."

"At that time, I thought a lot."

"Such scarce food and such difficult roads."

"Even if I, the Qin Dynasty, conquer this part of the world, how can we govern the world?"

"Brother, you really shouldn't be complacent."

"Because today's technological level simply cannot carry your and my ideals!"

Ying Chengyu, who has experienced pressure from all sides and led an army to travel half of the world, is deeply aware of a problem.

This world still needs better roads and stronger productivity to truly support the unified feudal autocracy!

What he should worry about should not be that a certain technology will change the world situation.

On the contrary, he needs to use stronger productivity to bring changes to this world, so that this world can breed the soil that can carry the ideals of the two brothers!

In addition, the demise of Han and Wei and the huge changes in the historical line also gave Ying Chengxuan a bit of a broken mentality.

Anyway, my influence on the world has been great enough.

In this case, why not turn him upside down!
  Ying Zheng was a little unable to understand what Ying Chengyu said: "Today's technological level cannot carry your and my ideals?"

"Why?"

Ying Chengyu said in a deep voice: "My brother believes that only by further liberating the capital of Guizhou, so that most of the capital can be separated from the powerful, and can be self-sufficient after being separated from the powerful, and form a small peasant economy one by one, can we further liberate the local governments." The powerful appeal to the head of Guizhou."

"Just like Da Qin, we can issue political orders to the countryside, but countries such as Han and Qi need to rely on the hands of powerful people in various places to influence the countryside."

"Once the imperial decree touches the interests of powerful people everywhere, the imperial decree will be ignored or even misinterpreted."

After Shang Yang's reform, the old aristocratic groups in Da Qin were basically cleaned up.

However, countries such as Han and Qi still maintain a high degree of slavery.

So Han Fei tried hard to persuade the King of Han to abolish slavery.

Therefore, after Tian Rong moved to Di County, he quickly became a big household in the area. By the end of Qin Dynasty, he attracted tens of thousands of slave slaves with a wave of his arms.

Ying Zheng thought thoughtfully: "What I said is similar to what Mr. Shang said!"

Ying Chengxuan smiled and said: "Shang Jun's strategy is a top-down strategy. He uses the Qin Dynasty to attack the powerful and untie the leaders of Guizhou, and then uses the military merit system to give the leaders of Guizhou the material conditions to support themselves."

"But my brother's strategy is a bottom-up strategy, using the advancement of technology to deceive the head of Guizhou to untie himself, and even force the powerful to untie the head of Guizhou himself!"

"Different paths, but the same destination!"

"It just applies to different situations."

Ying Zheng shook his head slightly: "But it's difficult."

"Brother Nai also hopes that the leaders of Guizhou can be self-sufficient and do not need to be governed by powerful people."

"Brother Nai hopes that the fields can produce more food."

"But how to do this?"
