Uncle Nine: I became Master Qianhe, and my fame resounded throughout the Daoist sect.

Chapter 702: Self-willed

[Ying Zheng: Dear Group Leader, I have pacified the six kingdoms, standardized weights and measures, and built the Great Wall. For such great achievements, I humbly request that you, Qianhe, grant me the elixir of immortality so that I may protect the Qin Dynasty for a long time.]

After all, if they shout "Big Brother," then I'll just follow suit, so there shouldn't be any problem!

Chizuru remained silent for a moment.

He took a look at this world of Qin Shi Huang.

It's neither a mythological world nor a world of high martial arts.

It's just an ordinary world.

"Later generations all hope that he will achieve immortality. So be it, why not grant him that?" Qianhe thought for a moment and said.

........................

Chizuru: The elixir of immortality is not easily obtained, and even if it exists, it cannot be given away casually.

However, considering your outstanding achievements, I can give you a chance.

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng's eyes lit up, and an overwhelming sense of excitement surged within him.

He knew this was a rare opportunity, perhaps the path to immortality he had always dreamed of.

[Ying Zheng: Please enlighten me, Qianhe!]

He asked impatiently, his voice revealing a longing for immortality.

He dreams of living forever!

Now that we have the opportunity, how can we let it slip by?

[Qianhe: I'm giving you a chance to reform the Qin Dynasty. If you succeed, I'll give you a golden elixir that will make you an immortal!]

Qianhe's words were like a lightning bolt piercing the night sky, leaving Ying Zheng utterly shocked.

He never imagined that immortality would be connected with the reform of the Qin Dynasty.

Is this some kind of deliberate attempt to make things difficult for him?

The laws of the Qin Dynasty did indeed have many problems.

Ying Zheng knew that if he were granted immortality without addressing these fundamental issues, the future of the Qin Dynasty would inevitably face enormous problems.

It's not good for ordinary people.

Therefore, the reforms proposed by Chizuru were undoubtedly a wiser choice.

Only through reform can things improve!

Otherwise, if the First Emperor had been emperor for too long, chaos would have broken out in the country.

..........................

[Ying Zheng: I would like to hear Qianhe's reform proposals!]

Ying Zheng looked at Qianhe with anticipation. He was determined to follow Qianhe's guidance, not only for the golden elixir that could grant immortality, but also for the long-term prosperity of the Qin Dynasty.

Moreover, through his interactions with Chizuru, he began to realize that the Qin system did indeed have some drawbacks.

He wants to make changes.

However, he didn't know how to make the changes.

After all, the Legalist Li Si was a formidable force.

He would never want Confucianism.

Of course, Confucianism still has some merits.

He could not give important positions to Confucian scholars because their ideas did not fully align with his ruling philosophy.

So, what exactly are Chizuru's clever tricks?

Ying Zheng was eager to know the answer.

[Chizuru: Abolishing the well-field system, recognizing private land ownership, and allowing free buying and selling would incentivize the people to cultivate the land and increase national tax revenue.]

Then, Chizuru recounted some things from the Qing Dynasty and the contemporary era.

Ying Zheng listened, his eyes gleaming, constantly pondering the feasibility of these reforms.

Ying Zheng: What Qianhe said is absolutely right. I will definitely implement the reforms, but I fear I will encounter many obstacles in the process.

[Qianhe: The path of reform is inherently difficult; you must have unwavering resolve. Those who obstruct reform must be dealt with decisively. Once the reform is successful, the golden elixir will naturally be yours.]

Ying Zheng clenched his fist, having already made up his mind. He was going to unleash an unprecedented storm of change in the Qin Dynasty.

.................................

Not only Qin Shi Huang, but also Liu Bei and Cao Cao thought Qianhe's words made a lot of sense.

Only Xiang Yu looked disdainful!

[Xiang Yu: Pshaw, it would be better to divide the land into fiefdoms, letting the states return to the Warring States period, an era of mutual respect!]

Ying Zheng: ...........

Cao Cao: .........

Liu Bei: ..........

[Guo Jing: .........]

This made many people think that Xiang Yu was out of his mind.

It’s not a bad loss.

[Qianhe: With your abilities, you'll never conquer the world. It wouldn't be unjust for you to commit suicide at the Wujiang River!]

[Xiang Yu: What? I'm going to die?]

[Chizuru: That's right, you will be defeated in the Chu-Han Contention and ultimately commit suicide at the Wujiang River.]

[Xiang Yu: Impossible, absolutely impossible!]

[Lu Bu: That's entirely possible, because I'll be living four hundred years in the future!]

Cao Cao: That's right, you committed suicide. You have no face to face the elders of Jiangdong!

Liu Bei: Hehe.

[Guo Jing: Ah, Yu's bravery is unparalleled throughout history!]
