General Qin

"Famous for the city, killed the heroes, received the soldiers of the world, gathered in Xianyang, sold Feng Dy, cast it as twelve golden people, and weakened the people of the world. Then practice Huahua City, because the river is a pond, according to the city of billions of meters, Lin The abyss of unpredictability is solid..."

Zhao Tuo whispered in his heart, thinking of the well-known article he memorized a long time ago.

After the unification of the Qin State, Qin Shihuang began to order the guards and lieutenants of various places to destroy the city gates and defenses of the famous cities of the capital. The inner Great Wall originally built by Qi, Yan, Chu, Zhao and other countries also began to be demolished to open the way.

At the same time, all the remnants of the six kingdoms and heroes who dared to resist Qin's rule were killed, and Zhang Liang, Gongsun Xin and others who escaped were put on the wanted list.

Kill the famous city and kill the heroes.

After these two things were done, the emperor ordered people to gather all the weapons, armors, bows, horses and other weapons originally owned by the six countries to Xianyang City for destruction.

Zhao Tuo himself has no objection to the matter of collecting the world's weapons for destruction.

The weapons of the Six Kingdoms and the weapons used by the Qin army are different in shape and structure, and the length and height are completely different, so they cannot be equipped and used in the army.

Even bows, crossbows and arrows, and even the core components of large equipment such as ladders and chariots, cannot be replaced because they are different from Qin's weights and measures.

Leaving these weapons is useless except to occupy the treasury, and may even be used by the survivors of the six countries who harbor rebellious intentions to rebel. Instead of doing this, it is better to destroy them.

It's just that after being destroyed, what is used to cast it is very particular.

Zhao Tuo naturally knew what Qin Shihuang wanted to do with these things.

Five feet high and weighing a thousand stones, the Twelve Golden Men stand majestically.

Create another wonder of the Qin Empire!

"After the unification of the world, there is nothing to do. The emperor will turn into a maniac."

Zhao Tuo quickly thought of a way to deal with it. If he directly proposed the Twelve Golden Men, Qin Shihuang would definitely be happy, and he praised Zhao Tuo for knowing my heart.

But in Zhao Tuo's view, the casting of golden men not only consumes a lot of people's power, but the things created are of no benefit to the entire country except to satisfy the emperor's desire.

This is a matter of harming the power of the people and not benefiting the country.

It is not advisable for a spectacle to harm the country!

Zhao Tuo took a deep breath, a thought popped up in his mind, he cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty accepting the soldiers of the world to fight against the world, is really like the old Zhou Wu Wang Yanwu Xiuwen, Ma Fangnanshan, it is a great thing. I think it's better to sell these weapons and cast them into plowshares, which can help the world's farming."

"Forged into farm tools?"

The emperor frowned blackly.

Zhao Tuo pretended not to see it, and continued: "In the past, the monarchs of the six countries were tyrannical. They made weapons of copper and iron, fought each other, and caused chaos in the world. Your Majesty raised up righteous soldiers, punished riots, and rescued the heads of Guizhou. If they are unified today, Your Majesty will use the six kingdoms The weapons that come to fight are destroyed to show that the Zhuxia family will never fight again. Then these destroyed weapons are made into tools that are helpful to the farming of all people in the world."

"Compared with these two, it can better reflect the confusion of the six kings and the wisdom of your majesty."

"The emperor sells the soldiers of the world and casts swords into plows. Such a holy virtue should be praised by all people and be preserved in the four poles!"

After the unification of the world, Qin State belittled the six kings and praised the emperor in political propaganda.

Now Zhao Tuo is grasping this correct route, and first put the high hat on Qin Shihuang.

"Forge the sword into the plow."

Qin Shihuang chewed these four words, and looked at Zhao Tuo in front of him.

Zhao Tuo has always understood his heart, from discussing the emperor's name to feudal disputes between counties and counties, every time this boy said, it was very consistent with his thoughts.

This time, Qin Shihuang had already had an idea in his mind about the matter of receiving the soldiers of the world.

He summoned Zhao Tuo to inquire, firstly because the Shaofu was responsible for this matter, and it was within Zhao Tuo's scope of authority.

Secondly, the emperor wanted to see if this son could still understand his thoughts.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Tuo came up with a new idea.

Forge swords into plows.

It sounds good and practical, but it is not what Qin Shihuang most wanted.

"It should be that the hints given are not enough."

The emperor ignored Zhao Tuo's suggestion of casting swords into plows, but talked about another matter.

"According to Lintao Duwei's report, when I wiped out the six kingdoms and proclaimed myself emperor, twelve giants five feet tall and six feet tall, wearing barbarian uniforms, appeared near Lintao and bowed in the direction of Xianyang. Those onmyojis say this is auspicious."

"Xiangrui? Damn Xiangrui!"

Zhao Tuo scolded in his heart, guessing that the captain of Lintao saw Qin Shihuang enthroned, so he specially made up a story to please the emperor.

Things like auspiciousness are not uncommon in later generations.

Now only twelve Lintao giants appeared, which is quite simple.

In later generations, you can get all kinds of yellow dragons, blue dragons, and unicorns.

However, when Qin Shihuang mentioned this matter in front of Zhao Tuo, it was a naked statement.

Zhao Tuo suddenly realized, and said: "The twelve barbarians bow down to the giants. This must be the surrender of the four barbarians. Your majesty presides over the phenomena of the world. This is even more evident. When the world is peaceful, when your majesty casts swords into plows, why not also cast twelve small ones?" People bow down to the elephant to commemorate this event."

Qin Shihuang shook his head, what Zhao Tuo said this time was barely in line with his wishes.

But twelve villains?

"I want to use this to cast twelve golden men and make them stand in Xianyang, just to show the great power of my great Qin!"

Qin Shihuang's voice suddenly became higher, and in his mind, the towering and tall appearance of the twelve golden men kneeling on the square in front of Xianyang Palace appeared in his mind.

style!

Just thinking about it makes me happy.

"Your Majesty, it is indeed a grand thing to sell the soldiers of the world to cast a golden man. But the golden man stands in Xianyang, but it prevents the people of the world from looking up and feeling the power of your majesty."

"I think of a major event in the world, maybe it can be combined with each other."

Zhao Tuo opened his mouth to answer.

Qin Shihuang's face turned cold, and he said, "What are you talking about?"

Zhao Tuo immediately replied: "I traveled to the land of the six countries before, and found that the coins of various countries are abnormal, and it is very inconvenient to circulate and use."

"For example, the state of Qin uses half taels of money, the state of Yan uses sharp-headed knives, the state of Chu uses ant-nose coins, and the state of Wei uses yuan coins...Coins vary from country to country, and their weights vary, and there are many private coins in the old places of the princes. It has caused people in the world to suffer for a long time. Now that the Qin Kingdom is unified, we cannot allow this situation to continue."

Seeing that Zhao Tuo was talking about the business, Qin Shihuang nodded and said: "I already know about this matter. The prime minister and the young master... the former young mansion have already discussed the matter of unifying the world's currency. Our country of Qin will rule the world, and the six kingdoms will be wiped out. It is used by the former princes. The coins are naturally not allowed to exist. When the prime minister decides, the world's currencies should also be set at one. You are the Shaofu, and you are in charge of minting coins. You will take over this matter later, but why are you here at this time? Mention this matter?

Zhao Tuo hurriedly said: "I just think that if those weapons in the world are only used to cast the Twelve Golden Men, although it can show the great power of your majesty and my Great Qin, it would be a pity that the people of the world cannot admire them."

"That's why I think it's better to separate those weapons and cast iron into plows to show your majesty's virtue and scorn the six kings. And the bronze can be cast into coins, and it will be implemented together with the unification of the world's currency."

"I think that it is possible to print the kneeling image of the barbarian on the coin. When the coin is circulated, all the people in the world who hold the coin will be shocked by the image of the barbarian on the coin. Knowing that my Great Qin belongs to the destiny, Even barbarians from all over the world will kneel down!"

Seeing the thoughtful look of the emperor on the couch, Zhao Tuo added: "I think it is still possible for famous teachers in the world to draw the image of His Majesty's martial arts and print it on the coins."

"Coins are something that everyone in the world must use. In this way, as long as the thousands of heads of the world use coins, they can see the image of His Majesty and feel His Majesty's mighty virtue. Wouldn't it be better to do so Cast a giant in the sky, but the people can't look up to it?"

Qin Shihuang was startled.

Don't make gold men, but mint coins.

Do you still engrave kneeling images of barbarians on the coins, or print your own heroic and wise headshots for all people in the world to look up to?

This idea is a bit novel.

Qin Shihuang closed his eyes, and scenes appeared in his head.

A child held a coin in his hand and asked his mother curiously: "Mother, who is the person on this coin, so majestic."

The woman immediately said respectfully: "That is the current emperor, the greatest emperor who rules the world!"

"It turned out to be the emperor!"

The children looked at the portraits on the coins with admiration.

"Emperor, great emperor!"

By doing so, it seems that his emperor's reputation can really be spread all over the world, making every Guizhou capital look at his head every day and recite his emperor's name.

Looking at Qin Shihuang who was moved on the stage.

Zhao Tuo was a little nervous.

He deliberately mentioned the matter of unifying the world's currency at this time, just to remind Qin Shihuang that our Qin State is about to abolish the currencies of the six countries. To do this major event, a large amount of Qin coins must be minted, which will require a lot of copper materials.

When the country is short of copper, but you take so much copper and iron to cast a big golden man, are you at ease as an emperor?

In addition to posing this practical problem, Zhao Tuo also proposed the idea of ​​printing head portraits.

Your face is printed on all the coins in the world, so that all the heads of Guizhou look up to you every day. Wouldn't the satisfaction brought by this be better than making a few golden men?

A strange idea popped up in Zhao Tuo's head again.

"If the emperor agrees to this matter, Qin's coins are all printed with his face, what will people call it when they dig it out?"

Qin Datou?

"Historical Records: The Benji of Qin Shihuang": The soldiers from all over the world were collected, gathered in Xianyang, sold as bells, twelve golden men, each weighing a thousand stones, and placed in the palace.

"Sou Shen Ji Lintao Giants": In the twenty-sixth year of Qin Shihuang, there was an adult who was five feet long and six feet long.
