022 Father and Son Argue(2/2)
But if he said so, he felt it was quite inappropriate.
Ying Zheng sat across from him. This was a courtesy for two people to communicate as equals. Ying Fusu had never been treated like this before.
In front of Ying Zheng, he is a minister and a son. No matter which of these two identities, he is at an absolute disadvantage when communicating with Ying Zheng.
He didn't want to ruin the opportunity he finally got because of an irrelevant answer.
So he chose to remain silent.
But silence itself is an answer.
Ying Zheng understood, but did not blame him, and continued: "Dunruo once sat in front of me and said that I was unfilial, so I made him the minister. Wei Liao once sat in front of me and said that I was mean and ungrateful.
I made him a state captain. If I were a person who could not listen to advice, then the Qin State today would still be a barbarian country that refused to defend Hangu Pass and was feared by the six countries but would never look down upon it."
Ying Fusu listened very carefully.
My father had never communicated with me like this.
Ying Fusu's attitude made the temporarily suppressed anger in Ying Zheng's heart lessen.
This traitor can still be saved.
"I was offended by Wei Liao's words, but because of the advice they gave me, I not only ignored their offense, but also allowed them to occupy high positions and enjoy high officials and generous salaries. I can listen to the advice of my ministers.
, then why can’t I hear my son’s advice? Fusu, have you ever thought that it’s not that I can’t listen to your advice, but that your advice itself is wrong.”
Incorrect?
Ying Fusu felt anxious and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Ying Zheng.
"Don't rush to defend yourself. Answer my two questions first."
Ying Fusu nodded.
Ying Zheng said seriously: "Most of the prisoners in the world are soldiers from the Six Nations. If I grant amnesty to the world and release all the prisoners as you said the day before yesterday, will the remnants of the Six Nations make a comeback?"
"Yes! But my father!"
"Don't be anxious, you will have a chance to speak later." Ying Zheng interrupted Ying Fusu again: "The Six Kingdoms are coming back. As you said, I will change the laws of Qin. Those harsh laws you think will be
If we remove them all, will Qin still be able to dominate the world?"
Ying Fusu was silent for a moment and said, "I don't know."
"You don't know?" Ying Zheng smiled, with a slightly disappointed smile.
Don’t you even have the courage to admit the result?
"Yeah, I don't know."
Ying Fusu said firmly, his expression a little excited and his tone rising.
"I don't know if the Qin State will still dominate the world, but I know that the people of the Qin State at that time must have been much better off than they are now! They wore rags that were mended every year, and they still couldn't eat the food they ate.
A full supply of millet and millet. Meat is so expensive that even the officials in court are reluctant to eat it. Wine has never been allowed among the people. Parading in the streets without reason is not allowed, and men are not allowed to go to other places. Men stay at home and do as much as they can every day.
The only thing for women to do is farming. Women stay at home and the only thing they do every day is weaving."
"Any family whose grain output cannot pay the taxes will be sentenced to prison. They have not slackened for a day, and the grain left after paying the taxes can barely survive. Such a Qin State, such
