The ancients watched me play the Starry Sky Railway

Chapter 525: Qin Shi Huang: Comparison

"Ritsuka was speechless for a moment. She didn't know how to comment on this."

"You're saying this is wrong?"

"But the First Emperor did eliminate all suffering, allowing people to live happily."

"Is this the right approach?"

"But... the fact that she would die instantly from the elixir at the age of sixty still felt like a thorn in her heart."

"What's this kid struggling with?"

Those people didn't understand Lixiang's dilemma at all.

For them, farming only required sowing seeds and harvesting. They no longer had to work hard in the fields, they didn't have to get sick, they had plenty of food, they weren't exploited by bureaucrats, they weren't robbed, and they could live to be sixty.

"Oh my god! This is like a life of wonder!"

Just like they imagined, the emperor used a golden hoe to hoe the ground, and the queen could eat a whole large pancake for every meal.

The fairy-like life they imagined was just like this.

Their request is that simple.

But even such a simple request is something they can only hope for...

"That's absolutely right! If I could live a life this good, I wouldn't even want to be a god!"

"I don't understand what this kid is so upset about. He should be so happy to have such a good life!"

"The First Emperor was truly a good emperor. Not only did he allow his people to live a good life, he also gave them elixirs to eat."

"If anyone dares to say bad things about the First Emperor to me again, I will beat him up on the spot!"

…………

Unlike those excited people, Ying Zheng was sweating profusely and kept wiping the sweat from his forehead.

He felt like he was being roasted on the fire.

The First Emperor in the sky was so good to the people. When the people of the world saw this, wouldn’t they have high expectations of him?

What if he didn't do that?

Would the people shout that he was a fake First Emperor and then fight against him?

When Ying Zheng thought of the scene of people rioting all over the world, he broke out in a cold sweat and couldn't stop.

Don’t let the First Emperor of another world unify the world. This First Emperor will die in one lifetime!

At that time, Tianmu will broadcast another program "The Great Qin: Comparison with the First Emperor, the People Are Jealous".

Then he would really be nailed to the pillar of shame.

"Li Si..." Ying Zheng called Li Si over in a hoarse voice.

"Your Majesty." Li Si quickly put down the bamboo slips and carving knife in his hands and trotted over: "You are looking for me?"

"You must immediately make arrangements to stop the construction of the Afang Palace and the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, so that the people can return to their homes and live a good life."

"Also, reduce taxes nationwide! It's okay if we have a hard time, but don't let the people suffer."

Li Si was completely confused. Was this still the same ambitious Qin Shi Huang from his family?

But he soon figured out the First Emperor's intention, and couldn't help but feel a chill on his back... Damn, before he knew it, the Qin Dynasty was in a precarious situation.

"Your Majesty, tax cuts alone are not enough. We must also establish a supervisory body to prevent local officials and the descendants of the six kingdoms from exploiting the people under the name of the Qin Dynasty."

"Well, when you go down, discuss it with Wang Wan and hand me a charter."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

…………

"How's the progress?" Qin Liangyu asked the staff in the car.

"She glanced outside. It was already dark. Another day had passed."

"Sir, we will scan the entire interior of the vehicle before daybreak," the technician replied.

"Very good. You must not omit anything, and you must never forget that the fate of the Qin Empire rests on your shoulders," Qin Liangyu encouraged.

Technician: “Yes!”

"Then I'll go out and see what's going on outside." Qin Liangyu said this and got out of the car. She had been sitting in the car, looking at things that she couldn't understand, and she felt bored.

"Stepping out of the car, the fresh air refreshed her."

"In the distance, there's another village boy walking in the fields."

"This peaceful scene made her smile. This was the peaceful world that His Majesty had created, and it was also the world she longed for."

"But as the boy approached, the originally vague voice gradually became clearer, and the smile on her face instantly froze."

"The moon doesn't know how to drink, and its shadow just follows me."

“Child, this is…” She called out to the boy.

"Hmm?" the boy replied with a bright smile. "I heard it's a poem, written by a great poet named Li Bai."

"Who taught you all this?" Qin Liangyu asked hurriedly.

"That elder sister named Jing Ke taught me," the young man said happily, not noticing the gloom in Qin Liangyu's eyes.

"Strange, why do I have such an ominous feeling?"

Qin Liangyu looked at the other self in the sky and felt that the look in his eyes was too complicated, with both pain and sadness.

But the problem is, the child just recited a poem!

"Could it be that Li Bai from another world offended the First Emperor, and therefore his poems were banned?"

Ma Qiancheng guessed.

After a few people thought about it, it seemed to make sense.

In their history, didn’t Li Bai offend Li Longji?

This talented poet seems to be particularly prone to offending people...

Then, as usual, his official career was not going well, but his inspiration for poetry and prose burst out.

I don’t know if they are deliberately sacrificing their careers.

…………

"In the palace, the First Emperor received a large amount of data."

"Yes, General Qin has performed his duties successfully. Simply by utilizing the computational power of this holy body, he was able to easily analyze it... Although I want to say this, this thing is truly remarkable."

“How on earth did they manage to pack so much functionality into such a small size? It’s unbelievable.”

"The First Emperor analyzed and complained at the same time."

"At this time, he received a communication from Qin Liangyu."

"Your Majesty, I have something to report to you, with all due respect."

"The First Emperor: What's the important matter?"

Qin Liangyu: "In the village... there is a child reciting poetry."

"The atmosphere in the palace suddenly became stagnant, as if the very air had frozen."

"Both Han Xin and the chief guard stared with wide eyes: "What?"

Qin Liangyu: "After inquiring, I learned that he was enlightened by the Chaldeans."

“…” The First Emperor’s voice deepened. “So that’s how it is. That Chaldea is spreading ‘knowledge’ across this land.”

"Exactly!" Han Xin's face darkened. "Spreading knowledge is undoubtedly the very essence of Confucianism!"

Dong Zhongshu: “???”

So even in another world, the First Emperor didn't like Confucianism?

Is this going to be an alien version of the Burning of Books and Burying of Scholars?!

Fortunately, he met the current emperor, otherwise he would not know how to display his talents.

Liu Che slowly fell into deep thought: "Even the First Emperor of this other world has become an immortal, yet he still dislikes Confucianism. Could it be that... my practice of dismissing all schools of thought and respecting only Confucianism is wrong?"

Sure enough, it is more appropriate to allow a hundred schools of thought to contend, right?

Dong Zhongshu was completely stunned when he heard Liu Che's muttering.

No, Your Majesty, please don't think too much!
