"Also, Qin often beheaded people, hung them at the city gates, skinned them, cut their bellies, and cracked their bones. These methods are too bloody and cruel. Qin should change his way of doing things. Qin shouldn't be so barbaric and cruel.
"Also, when Great Qin conquers a region, Great Qin will viciously and bloodily slaughter those who have high statuses and are arrogant. I believe that if we treat them well, they will be of great use to us."
"Firstly, it will be easier for Qin to win the hearts of the people. Secondly, they are knowledgeable and arrogant, so they should be respected.
"Finally, all books related to medicine and agriculture were burned. To a region or a Kingdom, this was a massive loss. Moreover, Great Qin did not ask about sensitive matters and directly suppressed them with blood. That was simply too cruel." Zhao Fu looked at Great Qin and said, "Great Qin's Great Qin's Great Qin's Great Qin's Great Qin's Great Qin Empire.
Hearing this, Zhao Fu could not help but chuckle as he said, "You will be a good poet, but not a good civil official. The path of an official is not suitable for you."
Hearing Zhao Fu say that he did not have the ability to become an official, the azure-clothed young man felt quite dissatisfied and said, "Sir, I'm not an official. Please tell me why? "
Zhao Fu explained with a smile, "First of all, if a person commits a crime, his whole family will be executed. Why do you think Qin did this? You just said that it was wrong, but you never thought about why Qin did this.
"This is the first reason why you can't be an official. You think too subjectively and don't consider the overall situation.
"The reason why Qin did this is that Qin's situation is far worse than you think. He must use high-pressure methods to stabilize the hearts of the people. Moreover, will all crimes be punished? Only serious crimes will be punished, especially those that shake the hearts of the people.
"Also, Qin's methods are bloody and cruel. This is also one of the high-pressure methods. In order to stabilize the unity, it is also a warning to those who commit crimes, so that they will think about the consequences before they do evil.
"Although it is bloody and cruel, the effects are very good. This is also your second reason. You are too kind. Although being kind is a good thing, you have to consider when to do it. Moreover, in the current world, people who are too kind won't live long."
"Then, we will attack the next area and slaughter those literati and people of high status who are unwilling to surrender. They are proud and admirable, but what's the use of them to Qin? If Qin has the patience to make them surrender slowly, he will win the hearts of the people. "
"But now Qin doesn't have time and patience at all. He needs to stabilize the situation as soon as possible. If they don't surrender, they will die. If one person doesn't surrender, one person will die. If the people in a region don't surrender, all the people in that region will die. If the people in a country don't surrender, all the people in that country will be slaughtered."
"Although this method is bloody and cruel, it is the most effective method. This is also the main reason why Qin carried out this method."
"The last problem is the burning of all kinds of books. Maybe this is a huge loss for you literati. It is a spiritual treasure and very precious."
"But everything that is not conducive to Qin's rule must be eliminated. Those books may be the most important and the most expensive for you literati, but they are useless for Qin. On the contrary, they are things that harm Qin."
"Even if you don't want to, you object, or even you petition, those things will still be destroyed. There is no room for negotiation."
"A civil official should consider how to manage a region and how to maintain Qin's rule more effectively. You can use any method, as long as you can achieve your goal. However, you didn't do it."
"You are talented, and you care about Qin. You love the people, and you will become a poet. But you can't be a good civil official."
"That's what I mean. A civil official is not as good as you think, and they are not free and unfettered to write poems every day."
Hearing Zhao Fu's words, the man in indigo's face turned pale. The others also looked a little pale. Now they understood why Qin didn't put them in an important position even though they were talented.
Being a civil official was not the same as being a poet. Even if they were well-read and could write all kinds of poems, they might not be good civil officials.
However, the civil officials were not as bright as they had imagined. There were some unknown darkness, and they would encounter countless things. They would not be as carefree and happy as they were now. They could recite poems every day, and when they were tired, they could just sleep.
Some people sighed and reconsidered themselves. They wondered if they had the ability to be a good civil official. They also wondered if being a civil official was their pursuit and ideal, and whether it was suitable for them.
Some of them felt that they didn't have the ability, and some felt that they were not suitable. They decided to give up the road of being an official and turn to other things.
Some people became even more determined. As a civil official, not only could they manage regions and commoners, but they could also realize their ideals and protect others. They were also respected by others and had the power to control others. This was the charm of being an official, or else not everyone would want to be an official.
The azure-clothed young man now had a complicated expression on his face. Everything was different from what he had expected, and he didn't know what to do. Should he continue on the path of an official or give up on doing something else?
Nalan Ruo looked at Zhao Fu with a trace of admiration and smiled as she said, "The people by His Majesty Qin's side are indeed not ordinary. Sir, you must have a high position in Qin and are valued by His Majesty, right?"
Hearing her words, everyone realized that Zhao Fu's identity was far more terrifying than they had imagined.
They also felt gratitude and admiration. Zhao Fu was so noble and was someone they had to look up to and worship. However, he was so polite and gentle and didn't put on any airs. He answered their questions and explained the way of being an official.
If he hadn't appeared this time, they would have returned from their trip and felt better, but they would still have continued on the path of being an official. After all, they wouldn't have known where they had gone wrong and would have failed. In the end, they would have died of depression.
Hearing Nalan Ruo's words, Zhao Fu lightly laughed and said, "There's no such thing. However, His Majesty is a very good person. Even though he is often busy with various things and rarely manages internal affairs, he still cares about internal affairs. He isn't like what you all think."
After saying this, Zhao Fu felt a bit embarrassed because they had no idea who the person in front of them was.
Of course, because of this, Zhao Fu learned that there was such a group of people in Qin City. This was a gain and allowed him to learn more about Qin City.
