Zhao Fu set up a large number of soldiers at the border and did not bother with them anymore. He understood that the other side would not dare to attack, and he could only focus on expanding his own faction.
After Zhao Fu continuously used those despicable methods, the effects were quite effective, and there were hundreds of City Lords joining every day.
Even though the other side was desperately trying to pull people into their faction, their expansion speed could not compare to Zhao Fu's. Zhao Fu's faction would definitely far surpass theirs, and unifying the Darkwater Continent was already a foregone conclusion, so there was nothing to worry about.
Zhao Fu stayed here for a few more days, and seeing that the situation had stabilized, he once again returned to Qin.
By now, Qin had finished celebrating the New Year, and it was now in full swing. The soldiers started to clear out regions, and the various Departments were doing their jobs. There was nothing to do in many places, so they settled down and started to take care of matters.
Zhao Fu looked through the Memorials that he had accumulated over the past few days and found that a few of the Ministers had suggested improving the Commoner system. The reason was that even though they were punishing the Commoners, it would not be beneficial to the unity of the country.
There were also many loopholes in the process of raising the Commoners from Untouchables to Commoners, and there was no effective supervision. Many people used this for profit, causing some resentment among the Commoners. As such, the Ministers requested that Your Majesty reconsider the Commoner system.
After looking through the Memorials, Zhao Fu frowned. Even though the Memorials said that they wanted to improve the Commoner system, they wanted to abolish the Commoner system. It was just that they did not dare to directly suggest this to him, so they used this tactful method.
"Should we abolish the Commoner system?" Zhao Fu sat on his throne and fell into deep thought. Zhao Fu felt quite hesitant.
Back then, the Commoner system had been established to punish the resisting races and factions. Their resistance had caused Qin to suffer heavy losses, but Zhao Fu had not killed them or treated them as slaves. This was already quite good.
They had to be punished, or else the blood of Qin's soldiers would have been spilled for nothing. Zhao Fu naturally felt quite angry towards these people.
However, from the contents of the Memorials, there were indeed all sorts of problems and hidden dangers.
In the end, Zhao Fu could not make a decision, so he gathered the Ministers to discuss and gather their opinions.
Most of the Ministers were civil officials, while the Generals were fighting at the frontlines. The Ministers' opinions were divided into two sides. One side supported Zhao Fu's idea, and most of them were Outlanders and Of Outlanders, with Guri as the leader.
Guri was from the Cat Race and was originally a City Lord of a small city. He had been after Qin's City, and he had been promoted over the past few years. He had become an important Minister of Qin. of Fu of Guri was of of Of Fu.
Their opinion was that the Criminals wanted to resist Great Qin, making Great Qin spend more effort to conquer them. They deserved it, so they should be punished accordingly.
Instead of enslaving them, His Majesty has given them the opportunity to rise in ranks, which is already quite merciful. From how we see it, they should forever be Commoners, and their children should also be Commoners. The weak should submit to the strong.
"Moreover, those who have not resisted and joined Qin will receive the status of ordinary commoners in Qin. However, those who have resisted and joined Qin will receive the same treatment, which will be unfair to those who have not resisted.
In the future, they would be met with even greater resistance. They knew that if they resisted, they would become Great Qin's Peasants, so seeing how powerful Great Qin was, they would obediently submit. However, if they knew that they would receive the same treatment if they resisted, they would definitely try to resist.
Hearing this, Zhao Fu nodded; this was what he was thinking. However, slavery was different from Zhao Fu's, so he would not establish it. However, if they knew that they would receive the same treatment if they resisted, they would definitely try to resist.
Hearing this, Zhao Fu nodded. He agreed with Zhao Fu. However, the slavery system was different from Zhao Fu's, so it was impossible to establish it. Zhao Fu had his own bottom line.
Seeing Zhao Fu agree to not abolish the Commoner system, the ministers who supported the abolition of the Commoner system changed their expressions. They immediately stood out to express their opinions.
Most of the ministers were from Huaxia, and they were from various sects. Because Qin gave up on punishing the Confucian School, the Mohist School, and the Buddhist School, some important figures from the three sects had returned to Huaxia from other continents and were willing to serve Qin.
Their opinions were that His Majesty was a wise king. Historically speaking, the primitive society started with slavery, and then with feudalism.
The reason why slavery was eventually replaced by feudalism was that slavery would make the country unstable and cause all kinds of class conflicts, which would lead to constant resistance and the country's demise.
Although His Majesty's Commoner system wasn't slavery, it would cause many conflicts, which wouldn't make the people completely loyal to Qin, and it wouldn't be good for the unity of the country. As such, everyone who served Qin should be treated the same way.
I think that His Majesty should abolish the Commoner system, which would be a great hidden danger for Qin. As for what Minister Gu said, there was another way to solve it.
After hearing what Minister Gu said, Zhao Fu felt that Minister Gu's words made sense.
Now that both sides were in the right, which side should he listen to? Zhao Fu couldn't help but look at Li Si, who was Qin's Prime Minister.
Li Si cupped his hands and said with a faint smile, "Everything is up to Your Majesty!"
Li Si threw the ball back to Zhao Fu, causing Zhao Fu to glare at him.
At this moment, Li Muqing stood out and said, "Your Majesty! Please leave the throne and go to the common people to have a look. You should have a decision by then, instead of hesitating here. "
"How dare you! His Majesty's status is so noble; how can he be with those commoners? Minister Li dares to blaspheme His Majesty? Do you know what punishment you deserve? "
A Minister immediately berated before saying, "This isn't the democratic system in the real world; it's an imperial system where His Majesty is the leader. His Majesty is the leader, and the commoners are secondary. If Minister Li wants to do things through a democratic system, he might be subverting the Qin Empire."
This caused some of the players' expressions to become serious. This was quite a big accusation, and they had wanted to do things through a democratic system, which was not suitable.
The expressions of Li Muqing and the players' Ministers slightly changed, and the indigenous residents' Ministers also looked at these people.
Zhao Fu felt quite startled and looked at everyone present. He found that he had not paid much attention to politics, and there seemed to be many factions in the Imperial Court.
Because of the Minister's words, the Palace fell silent, and the atmosphere became quite tense.
