Chapter 263 Bao Bailing
"Let's replay the game."
Ying Chengjiao turned over and sat up, cleared a small space, picked up a wooden stick and wrote the word Xianyang on the ground.
Two slashes were drawn under Xianyang, one representing the aristocratic family and the other representing the emperor's brother.
“All the noble families in Xianyang have been mobilized. If they can still tolerate what happened in Loutai, then they should kill Bao Bailingzhi as well.
“They can accept the death of a doctor, but I don’t believe these families can tolerate the death of a family head and the loss of control over the Doctoral Office.
"As long as these noble families keep their eyes on me, they won't notice the outside world. The arena has been set up. There are so many noble families here, don't be afraid to step up."
Draw a circle on the emperor's brother.
"I want my brother to push for the abolition of slavery and concubines. This is the first step to equality. The next step is to abolish the differences in origin between scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, eliminate the class differences brought about by occupations, and achieve equality of personality.
" It would be difficult to gather public opinion and arouse empathy without doing so. Personal equality is the basis of patriotism. The Qin State must develop from militarism to patriotism. This is the path it must take."
The wooden stick lightly tapped the word "Royal Brother".
"Brother, you have to work hard."
If the First Emperor were here, he would have chopped off Ying Chengjiao's head with the King of Qin's sword. How could he have such a shameless brother?
"Enough food for Guanzhong for twenty years... It should be enough if I gather all the food from all over the country, but transportation is a big problem. Only one tenth of the food in Qi remains here. Alas, the highway is too slow to build."
Ying Chengjiao wiped off the words on the ground and wrote four big characters: Seven Northwestern Counties.
"With Han Fei here, we can quickly establish a mature political system here, complete with comprehensive social welfare, as long as the aristocratic families in Xianyang do not make things difficult for us.
"There's no need to worry about the military training because Li Mu is in charge. The only thing we need to be careful about is that this guy doesn't go crazy and run over to the Xiongnu to start a fight."
The wooden stick was placed northwest of the seven northwestern counties, with the word "Xiongnu" written on it.
"With advanced weapons and Meng Tian's command, the little Taotie will not die as long as he doesn't commit suicide. The Xiongnu tribes are not unified, so it shouldn't be a big deal if we pull one group against another.
"It's a pity that I don't have time to go there, and I don't know the specific customs and practices there. Otherwise, I could focus on that and unify the Little Taotie faster."
Erase the seven northwestern counties and finally write the word "Han Di".
After concentrating on the word "Han" for a long time, Ying Chengjiao relied on the map in his memory to write the words "Qin", "Wei", "Zhao", "Chu" and so on around Han .
"At the beginning, I only wanted to use this place to let my brother know the importance of public opinion, but I didn't think of taking it into my own hands. Such a place with well-developed transportation is most suitable for economic development.
"It would be a waste of geographical location to build it according to the template of the seven northwestern counties. The most suitable position for Han is to be the economic center of Qin. We need to send some disciples from Xun Lao to manage it first."
Ying Chengjiao wrote and drew on the ground, mumbling something to himself that only he could hear...
Bang Bang Bang
A huge sound of banging on the iron door suddenly rang out, and could be clearly heard by Ying Chengjiao.
"Brother! You forgot to bring me food again! Brother! Dear brother! You don't want to starve me to death, do you?"
Ying Chengjiao opened the iron gate impatiently and kicked the iron gate next to him hard.
"Shut up! You won't die of hunger if you don't eat."
Gan Luo was inside banging on the iron door and shouting loudly.
"A soldier can be killed but not starved!"
"If you call me that again, I'll throw you down to the next floor."
"The first floor also needs food. I haven't had lunch yet..."
"I didn't send you lunch at noon? How come I remember sending you lunch... You don't exercise, you don't burn any calories, so why are you hungry?"
"If I am guilty, please judge me according to Qin law and don't let me starve ... Brother, please ask the jailer to bring me food!"
The autumn wind is a bit bleak, and the fallen leaves are swirling and floating freely in the air.
The revenge of the aristocratic families was very slow, and Gang Chengjun, who was elected as the leader, stayed at home for two days without locking the door.
…
"The Prime Minister's Mansion has not received any memorial impeaching Li Si. The business of the building is much worse than before. Even half of the hall is not filled with guests... The situation of the aristocratic families is generally like this. As for the government..." Li Si narrated in a serious manner.
"Stop, stop, stop." Ying Chengjiao was helpless and said, "Li Si, I've told you many times, don't tell me about government affairs. Go to Lü Buwei for civil affairs and Wang Xi for military affairs. If they are unreliable, go to Zhangtai Palace."
"only."
Li Si obeyed without saying a word.
But this is just silence for today. Tomorrow Li Si will still think about telling Ying Chengjiao about the affairs of state.
Ying Chengjiao sighed helplessly and pointed at Li Si for a long time, not knowing what to say.
After a while, he said, "You are just too suspicious."
Ying Chengjiao knew what Li Si was thinking.
Li Si, who joined Chang'an Junfu halfway, always felt that something was missing compared to people like Lu Buwei, Han Fei, and Li Mu.
In order to show the significance of his existence, he would nag Ying Chengjiao about state affairs every day to prove his ability.
Li Si put on an ugly smile and said, "Not everyone can be scolded by the Lord every day."
"Forget it, it's up to you. These noble families are really patient. My little brother died unjustly in the tower without any explanation. Aren't they afraid that people will lose their morale and become difficult to lead?"
Ying Chengjiao murmured to himself, and after a moment he sighed and said, "Is Bao Bailingzhi still alive? If he is, let him go."
"Go and take a look."
Li Si came out of the second floor and reached the first floor, where a foul, sour and rotten smell hit his nose.
Li Si remained calm and refused the mask that was kindly handed to him by the jailer beside him.
The first-floor prison was not built with brick walls, but with upright iron pipes as thick as an adult's arm. The prisoners were like wild animals locked in cages.
Rats, insects and ants were crawling around on the ground in the green and red solid and liquid compounds that gave off a foul smell. Every prisoner was infested with lice and fleas.
They had no energy and were all sickly and could pass out at any time. Even so, they still had heavy shackles on their hands and feet, and some even had splints on their necks.
Bao Bailingzhi is unfortunate to live in such a harsh environment.
Bao Bailingzhi was lucky. He had no shackles on his hands and feet and was much freer than the other prisoners.
But he was not satisfied, he wanted to leave here every day.
Even if I have to be imprisoned, I would like to be imprisoned in the second floor of Xianyang Prison, which is a key prison in the north.
He curled up in a corner, with the wooden bucket for excrement and urine in the opposite corner of the one he was lying in. This was the farthest point from him in the entire cell, and he wanted to be farther away from his own excrement and urine.
When
The knock on the iron railing woke up Bao Bailingzhi who was dazed by the smoke.
Bao Bailingzhi pushed aside the dirty and messy hair that was stuck in front of his eyes.
Li Si was seen standing outside the iron bars, with a jailer following behind him.
