Daqin Engineers

Fusu is in a good mood these days, he is waiting for the results.

In fact, he didn't mean waiting for results, but waiting to see Shen Bing's jokes.

If in other respects Shen Bing defeated Chun Yuyue, then Fusu believed that Chun Yuyue would defeat Shen Bing this time.

Fusu even said to the guards:

"Just rely on those rough calligraphy and paintings to persuade Chu Min to come to Qin?"

"Shen Bing regards the governance of the country as a trifling matter."

"Although he has a talent for woodcraft and a way to lead soldiers, he has no reason to govern the country!"

"If Father knew this, he would not leave me here!"

Yang Duanhe is also waiting for the result.

Shen Bing discussed this matter with Yang Duanhe throughout the whole process, and Yang Duanhe had to play the Ming Dynasty and get permission... Shen Bing’s fields and homes for the Chu people were the large areas of Huaibei occupied from the Chu State. .

Although Yang Duanhe and Shen Bing took down these lands, it does not mean that they can dispose of them at will.

Just kidding, the land is something you want to give as you want?

This is a fief with one's own self-respect!

Do you want your head?

Of course, there is no objection to the winning government of land.

Because this land was planted for the people of Qin and for the people of Chu, Yingzheng didn't care about who it was planted, he only cared about the amount of taxes collected.

It doesn't matter if the tax collected at the beginning is less. After all, Yingzheng has a long-term vision, knowing that if it successfully attracts Chu Min to vote, it will weaken Chu's strength and even break the current predicament of attacking Chu.

The so-called "dilemma" refers to what was said before. At this time, if the Qin army wanted to attack Chu, it would fall into an awkward situation:

Huainan is the fief of the nobles. If you continue to attack Chu to the south, you will not only enter the difficult mountain and water network, but will also unite the nobles of the Chu Kingdom and gather under the Changping Lord... Ying Zheng always calls the Chu Wangqi the Changping Lord Not the king of Chu, because he didn't want to recognize this king of Chu.

There may even be a phenomenon of unprecedented unity of "brothers playing on the wall and guarding against the outside".

So the Qin army did not attack, nor did it not attack.

The method that Shen Bing thought of, that is, to attract the people of Chu with fields, homes, and lower tax rates, was a way to slowly weaken Chu's strength.

This is also a "warm water boiled frog", but it was too late when the nobles of Chu discovered the seriousness of the problem.

Thinking of this level, Ying Zheng no longer hesitated, and immediately approved the plan.

At the same time he also praised Shen Bing:

"Shen Bing has courage and strategy, and he will have something to help Su by his side!"

Yang Duanhe didn't see it so clearly. He was holding the attitude of "a dead horse as a living horse doctor." Anyway, there was no other way to break the deadlock at this time. He was temporarily unable to go south due to lack of food. Why not try?

Therefore, Yang Duanhe just handed it to Shen Bing to deal with, and he turned his head and plunged into the Huaihe defense and the farmland.

Shen Bing is also waiting for the result.

It's just that he wasn't waiting, but chose a field by the Huai River to wait for Chu Min to come to the village.

This field is located on the north bank of the Huai River. The land is fertile and close to the water source, and the geographical position is very advantageous.

Shen Bing chose this place for a reason...

Chu Min came with interest, and of course he wanted to satisfy them.

The first batch of Chu people are satisfied, and the north bank of the Huai River is not far from Huainan, they will easily pass the news back to Chu, and then they will bring batch after batch of Chu people to vote...

It was Fusu who received the news first.

The reason was that Fusu wanted to get results sooner, or that Fusu was a little worried, so he sent guards to look around Huainan every day.

Then let him wait.

The guard ran back to Fusu who was practicing in the tent and reported:

"My son, Chu Min has come to vote!"

What Fusu wrote was "Government and Virtue".

That is what Confucius said: "The Tao is governed by the law, and the people are free and shameless; the Tao is based on virtue, and the law is courteous, shame and moral.

This is used by Confucianism to deny legalism.

The general idea is that the law and criminal administration rely on coercion, which only punishes crimes, and the people dare not do bad things out of fear.

But morality and ethics rely on education and self-consciousness. He is shameful, so he will spontaneously restrain himself.

There is a certain truth to this, which is the scope and function of the "ethics" mentioned earlier.

What’s wrong is that this is to put "ethics" above the law...

This is not surprising at all, because Legalists also place themselves above Confucian theory.

But in fact, the two should coexist and manage society together.

Fusu felt it out at this time.

He had firmly believed that this was correct before, but after listening to the story of Shen Bing...he discovered that sometimes morality and etiquette were not necessary at all.

What about the deer courtesy of the church?

Do wolves stop eating it?

Don’t you starve to death if you spend less?

These are the things that benevolence and morality can change...

Sometimes Fusu really wanted to see Confucius personally ask to solve this problem.

The personal guard came to report when the word "Virtue" was being written.

Fusu's brushwork was not messy at all, and he replied as he wrote:

"Oh, but how many are there?"

Fusu's brushwork didn't mess up because he thought that Chu Min would definitely not come to vote.

Don't want to answer the guard:

"The subordinates have never counted, but...to say nothing, there are thousands of people."

Fusu was startled, and the word "De" was broken.

He stopped writing and looked at the guard with a face of disbelief, and asked:

"what did you say?"

"There are thousands of people."

The guard replied hesitantly:

"There are indeed thousands of people. And this... just the first batch."

At the moment, Fusu had no interest in writing anymore, so he was able to pay the bill and rushed out of the city by himself.

Because the Liangjun barracks are south of Shouchun City, and Shouchun City is in Huainan, I saw a large number of Chu people coming out of the city.

At this time, Fusu discovered that the guards had spoken to Shaoli. There were more than a thousand people in the Chu people, and there were three to five thousand people in Shao said in the dark.

Fusu didn't give up yet, got out of the carriage and bowed his hand to Chu Min passing by... Confucian children always pay attention to etiquette, and the people are no exception.

"Dare to ask Lao Zhang, you are from Chu Di? Why are you here?"

The people looked at Fusu with strange and worried eyes and answered:

"Didn't you give Tian to the house when you post the notice?"

"Now you can't count them anymore?"

"Then I will wait to go back!"

Fusu hurried to stay.

Although he is unwilling to lose to Shen Bing, after all, he is the son of Qin, so how can he dismantle himself in order to win...

But in fact, there are such people, and there are not too many.

But Fusu is not such a person.

After comforting the people and giving them directions, Fu Su couldn't help but sigh inwardly:

"This time I lost completely again."

"If there are three to five thousand people in Shouchun, there will be tens of thousands of people from Chu who descend along the Huai River."

"And it's just this moment."

"Who would have thought that Shen Bing's'notice' would have such an effect..."
