Chapter 469
The next day, above the court.
"All Aiqing are all flat, do you have something important to report?"
Ying Zheng smiled and waved his hand to the courtiers below.
"Your Majesty, since that fire drill, the four fire protection measures proposed by Prince Fusu, including open fire, fire prevention, fire prevention, and fire extinguishing, have been well implemented throughout the country, and the frequency of fires in our Daqin has decreased significantly. "
"And across the country, water hose trucks have been replaced with steam fire trucks, and in places with a high probability of fires, such as counties with grain depots or cotton factories, there are generally three to five. "
"Especially in our firearms training ground in Daqin, due to the huge power of firearms and the large number of equipment, a steam fire truck is specially equipped to stand by at any time."
"Where the probability of fire is low, there is at least one steam fire truck, and under such careful fire prevention measures, we Daqin have achieved zero fire casualties for the first time, and the proportion of property damage has dropped to a record high. "
"It can be said that I, Daqin, no longer have to be afraid of fire, which we once feared like a tiger and talked about the catastrophe, and the people also praised His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Prince of Fusu at home, and they supported it to the extreme. "
Shang Shu ordered Li Si to come out and report.
"Okay, this is the blessing of Great Qin, and it is also the blessing of the people, all thanks to Fusu, if it weren't for your suggestions, and the magical steam fire truck, I'm afraid that the danger of this fire is still threatening the land of Great Qin. "
Ying Zheng sighed.
It turns out that fire has always been the disaster that plagues Daqin the most, and it is okay in winter, due to the severe cold weather, there are not many fires, and even if they do, they cannot spread, and the damage caused is small.
However, in summer, the hot heat and dry weather make fires not only very easy to occur, but also burn very quickly once they occur, which can be said to pose a great threat to the lives and property of the people.
However, with the introduction of various advanced fire protection ideas in Fusu and the upgrading of advanced technology, fire, which was once feared by people, has become no longer terrible, and the people can finally no longer be afraid of it.
To be able to see that under his rule, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, free from fire, and the First Emperor, as a Ming monarch, was naturally full of joy. 837
"The father praised it falsely, the sons and daughters were dull, how dare they accept the full award, these are just the whimsical ideas of the sons and daughters who sit under the tree for a day, in the final analysis, it is just a fluke. "
Fusu said humbly.
Hearing this, all the ministers in the court had strange faces.
This humble statement is too outrageous, if even you are called blunt.
So what are we? Dead people?
Also, you sat under that tree that day, and we want to try it tomorrow to see if any ideas really come to mind.
"By the way, is there any movement in the Western Regions?"
Ying Zheng asked.
"Your Majesty, Scipio, the supreme consul of Rome, has significantly improved his political status in the Roman court since he made peace with my Great Qin, so he promulgated a series of legal systems that imitated my Great Qin, and implemented various new policies in Rome. "
Meng Yi said.
Seeing that these legal systems had achieved good results in Great Qin, the Romans copied the past, but if Rome really became strong because of this, it would cause some obstacles to our future annexation plans. "
Ying Zheng was faintly worried.
After all, the reason why Great Qin was able to rise so fast was that in addition to the advanced scientific and technological tools created by Fusu, these legal systems that benefited the country and the people also played a large role.
And now Scipio followed the example of Great Qin to implement the same legal policy, which made Yingzheng a little worried that Rome would rise too quickly and become a stumbling block to Great Qin.
After all, in order to achieve the goal of the whole world, the annexation of Rome was an indispensable step, and it could even be said to be a very important step.
Because as long as Rome is annexed, Great Qin will be able to target Carthage and pocket everything from Rome and Carthage, and Great Qin will be able to radiate influence to other parts of the Western Regions through these two Western Regions, and then include the entire Western Regions into the territory of Great Qin.
Therefore, if the annexation of Rome is blocked, it will be difficult to continue the rest of the matter.
"On this point, my father can rest assured, when the son proposed the new political system, the son has already taken this into account, so the law system proposed by the son is the most suitable for my Great Qin's national conditions,"
"Scipio's imitation of my system of laws in Rome and his vigorous promotion of them may have had some success at first, but over time he will find that the decay of Rome at sunset is not enough to sustain the implementation of my legal system. "
"In the end, in the end, it is not a tiger to become an anti-dog, so you don't have to worry about Rome becoming strong because of these reforms, thus hindering my plan to annex Rome in the future. "
Fusu said with a smile.
In fact, there is no such thing as a legal system, which is good or bad, only whether it is suitable or not.
Just like Scipio followed the example of Daqin to establish the official school, his purpose was obvious, that is, through the reform of the education system, he wanted to fundamentally solve the dilemma of no one available in Rome's internal affairs and cultivate more talents for Rome.
However, he ignored that under the attraction of Great Qin's generous treatment and advanced scientific and technological knowledge, for example, almost all the talents are concentrated in Great Qin today, and they only have three or two big cats and small cats left in Rome, otherwise they would not be without usable talents.
Therefore, even if Rome had established a government school, who would be able to give lectures to the students? It was not just the old and rotten old scholars.
It is almost impossible to expect these legalistic people to come up with new scientific and technological knowledge.
The only thing these old pedants could teach was the old knowledge that had been passed down from the mouths of their ancestors and was already chewing away in their bellies.
However, what is the use of this backward and conservative knowledge, even if it is popularized among the masses? It is still the same as it is, and it cannot change the present situation in Rome.
In other words, Scipio followed the example of the official school founded by Great Qin, but it only allowed the students in Rome to study in a different place, and there was no difference in essence from before.
And this is just a waste of money and waste, and has no other effect.
Scipio, in particular, did what Great Qin did. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
In order to improve the physical fitness of the Romans, not only provided nutritional security such as milk and eggs for infants and pregnant women, but also gave nutritional supplements to adolescents and children.
In this way, the Roman people naturally laughed and were grateful for the country's giving, but this was tantamount to a huge pressure on Rome's finances
You know, milk and eggs were very expensive in this era, even if the Romans were few, this was definitely a huge expense.
When it was first implemented, Rome had just abolished the tax exemption law for nobles, relying on the taxes paid by those large and small nobles for the first time, which was a large amount of financial revenue, and Rome was indeed able to barely support it at first.
But as time went on, the taxes that Rome was able to collect from those nobles would inevitably become less and less. []
After all, those nobles are very shrewd and will not really be slaughtered like pigs.
Formerly known as the Roman (baci) aristocracy, they were able to have tax exemptions, so it was natural for those nobles to develop vigorously in commerce and focus all their careers on this in order to make more huge profits.
But since Scipio promulgated a new code that abolished the tax exemption of the Roman aristocracy, the nobles would still pay honestly at first.
But they soon realize that if they keep their business focused on business, they will face huge taxes!
Therefore, the Roman aristocracy must change the focus of their careers, and although it is impossible to completely detach themselves from commercial trade, it is absolutely impossible for them to devote all their energy and financial resources to commercial trade as before.
Although this reduced the total income of the Roman aristocracy, the net income after deducting taxes was much higher than the previous model of pure commercial trade.
Soon this method would be widespread in Rome, and all the nobles would use it to reduce their tax burden.
But in this way, the Roman treasury could only collect the income tax of these nobles, and the commercial tax that should have been the largest income was greatly reduced.
Overall, Rome will be able to collect much less tax.
At this time, the nutritional supplement program for infants and adolescents will become a huge burden on Rome's finances.
In fact, there are not only these, but there are countless legal systems that are suitable for Great Qin but not suitable for Rome.
As Fusu said, many of the legal systems he set up are only applicable to the current Great Qin, and even whether the future Great Qin is suitable or not may not be applicable, after all, the current Great Qin is developing too rapidly, basically one day at a time, not to mention Rome where even the country is different.
If Scipio continued to imitate blindly, the Roman economy would not only not recover, but would only be a mess.
"Your Majesty, what His Highness Fusu said is extremely reasonable, and the minister has heard that Scipio has specially canonized Sophie as a princess and granted a seat to the Senate, which may have the right to vote in all political activities in Rome. "
"The seat of the Roman Senate has always been given only to those of high moral character, and no one has ever been so honored at such a young age, let alone a woman, which is probably unprecedented in the entire history of Rome. "
"This shows that Scipio attaches great importance to the matter of marrying my Great Qin, and he is doing this to show his attitude and show favor to my Great Qin. "
Nesten said with a smile.
"Well, what you said does make sense, and since that's the case, then I'm relieved. "
Hearing what Fusu and Nesten said, Yingzheng nodded.
"Anyway, what has happened to Hannibal of Carthage lately? Now that the marriage between Nascipio and my Great Qin has been made public, he, as Hannibal's old rival, should have known the news a long time ago, right?"
Yingzheng suddenly remembered this guy who was on a par with Scipio.
"Your Majesty, according to the report of the spies of my Great Qin's army in Carthage, Hannibal has recently been mobilizing his main army, and the trajectory of movement is far away from the Carthage and Roman lines, and it seems that he is faintly preparing to retreat. "
"And just today, the high-ranking nobles of Carthage have sent many rare gifts to my Great Qin, and have passed on some messages, to the effect that our Great Qin will forgive Hannibal's rude behavior, and hope that Carthage can continue to maintain good relations with Great Qin and not invade each other. "
"It is estimated that it will not be long before Hannibal will lead his Carthaginian army to retreat to the rear. "
"As for which region Hannibal will choose as the next stronghold point of the Carthaginian army, we have not yet heard about Hannibal's plans for the relevant aspects, but I will report to His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Prince of Fusu as soon as he has any new movements. "
Meng Yi replied.
From how many times I've observed Hannibal's marching strategy, he doesn't seem to be the kind of person who would give up easily, I wonder what you think about Fusu?"
In doubt, Ying Zheng cast his eyes on Fusu.
Unconsciously, whenever he encounters something he has questions about or doesn't understand, Yingzheng always subconsciously asks Fusu for answers, which almost has almost developed a habit.
This made Ying Zheng can't help but have an idea in his heart.
In the future, he must find a way to deceive Fusu to the throne, so that he can naturally hand over all political affairs to Fusu, and then be a leisurely emperor comfortably, and no longer have to think about these complicated national affairs.
Fusu naturally didn't know Yingzheng's inner thoughts at this time, but just analyzed it seriously:
"Father, what you said just now is actually very right, it is absolutely impossible for a general like Hannibal to be willing to withdraw like this, and give up the Carthage and Roman defense lines that he has guarded for several years to the Roman army. "
"But according to the report of my Great Qin's spies, Hannibal's army has been evacuated, and it is still confirmed from all sides that he is indeed evacuating, which is obviously very abnormal. "
"As the saying goes, there must be a demon when things go wrong, so according to the opinion of the sons, Hannibal should not have retreated, but deliberately made such a gesture of preparing to retreat, in an attempt to paralyze the Roman army, and then hide somewhere with his elite army, waiting for the moment when the Roman army let down its vigilance, and then deliver them a fatal blow!"
