Chapter 50 This country must be treated like a beast
Ying Zheng said: "Get up, I have agreed to what you asked for!"
I didn't ask what the request was, but agreed directly first Come down.
This moved Li Nian quite a bit. The First Emperor had many negative comments in history, but he had nothing to say to his trusted ministers.
Trust Meng Yi and let him accompany him around. Trust Zhao Gao and always take him with him. Trust Li Si. All the men in the Li Si family are the princesses of Qin, and the women are married to the princes of Qin.
But Li Nian did not get up, but knelt on the ground and said: "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty! What I want is that if there is a chance, I would like to ask Your Majesty to overthrow this country, destroy its species, and exterminate its descendants!"
The footbaths of this era have not done anything, so it is quite unreasonable to deal with sins in the hereafter.
But does Li Nian need to be reasonable? Does the First Emperor need to be reasonable again? When the footbath invaded China, were you reasonable?
Sure enough, what kind of disaster did that country cause to China in later generations? Only then did the Chinese people of later generations want to destroy their country at this time, so that this country would never stand up again.
Ying Zheng promised again: "I agree to your request. If there is a chance, I will destroy this country, cut off its veins, cut off its seeds, and no longer be a trouble to China!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Nian kowtowed to Ying Zheng a few times before he stood up and sat down again. He did not forget to say one more sentence: "Your Majesty, the people of this country cannot be treated as human beings. To treat them as beasts is equivalent to committing crimes against China." The crimes he committed are too numerous to describe, and what he did was even worse than when Master Hu Hai killed ten princesses with punishment.”
Just give an example, why do you have to use Hu Hai? Are you afraid that I don’t know that Hu Hai will kill my other children after he ascends the throne?
Ying Zheng glanced at Li Nian and said nothing. He admired Li Nian's kneeling and kowtowing just now even more.
This is like a passionate man!
After talking about the specific reasons for the demise of the Qin Dynasty, Li Nian started to talk about the solution. He first put layers of armor on himself.
“The solution I mentioned is based on what I learned from later generations and my own thoughts. It may not be suitable for the Qin Dynasty. It is only a reference for the king.”
“It is nothing more than being too strict on Qin’s laws. It is to modify the Qin Law according to the actual needs and the wishes of the people, so that the Qin Law is suitable for the country and the people."
"The king can send people to visit all over the world to understand the evaluation of the Qin Law by the people everywhere. Don't pass it either Du listens to what the people say, and the people sometimes can't see clearly whether it is good or bad. If they change it according to their own wishes, it will be harmful."
"The revised Qin laws may not be all good, so the king may not accept it yet. If the new law is implemented nationwide, only a few counties and counties will be selected to try out the new law to see its strengths and weaknesses. In this way, even if the new law has major flaws, it will not have a big impact, and it can be revised. Once it is implemented nationwide, it will be easy to change again. Not simple.”
This is a direct method of specific operations. What Li Nian didn't know was that Ying Zheng was already conducting pilot tests on the reform of Qin Law.
"Even if the new law has no major flaws after the trial and is applied to the world, it does not mean that the new law does not need to be changed. I have told the king before that everything in the world is changing, everything changes, and the law The law will naturally change accordingly. The new law today will be the old law tomorrow, and the old law the next day. "
"Day after day, the new law will be the old law. How can it not change? It is also not advisable to become too frequent. The order must be revised overnight. The time must be set to summarize the gains and losses in the implementation of the law, such as revising it every three or five years so that the law can adapt to the current situation."
"I think it can be permanent. Supervise and inspect the officials who enforce the law, and let them collect the opinions and questions about the law from all over the world during the period of implementation of the law."
Li Nian did not say that princes who break the law are as guilty as the people, and people before the law are guilty. All people are equal. The First Emperor might be able to listen to what he said, but he would certainly not do it.
Shang Yang failed to cure Ying Si (King Huiwen of Qin) who had committed a crime. He only punished Ying Si's teacher. Li Nian didn't think he could do it.
This is how the times are. Princes who commit crimes are guilty of the same crimes as the people. It is always empty words not to say it, but in most of history, it is indeed true!
Li Nian continued: "After the six kings are over, the world is one, and there are no more wars in the world to provide military merit. The military merit title system of Great Qin will naturally expire. The reasons and functions of the establishment of the military merit title system have also been discussed with the king. , It provides a path for promotion for the old Qin people and gives them the opportunity to become marquis and prime minister."
"There are two ways to deal with the failure of the military merit system. One is to restore the military merit system, that is, to launch more wars to provide military merit. If the king is willing, there will be no shortage of wars in the world. The Huns in the north and the Xiongnu in the west The Dayue clan in the east, the foot basin in the east, and the Baiyue in the south can all be targeted for attack."
"The second method is to open up other promotion paths besides the military merit system. This can be linked to the current lack of officials in the Qin Dynasty. In later generations, there will be imperial examinations and college entrance examinations to provide promotion for people."
" In the Song Dynasty, there was a saying that "a good man will be judged only if he is called outside the Donghua Gate", which shows that the imperial examination was a method of selecting talents, and many people were educated through education. Many people learn to read and write, and then a group of outstanding scholars are selected from these scholars through examinations. "
"The examination is a performance check. Questions are asked and people are asked to answer. Those who answer correctly are the best. The content of the imperial examination in later generations. All come from Confucian classics."
Ying Zhengdao: "No wonder Confucianism can be so prosperous in later generations!"
Can it not be prosperous?
If you want to be an official or a master, you have to learn Confucianism. If you don’t want to learn but still want to be a master, then you have to look at your background. And most people don’t have a good background, so they can only enter Confucianism and read Confucius and Mencius. .
“I believe that the imperial examination method can also be used in Da Qin. It will not only allow the world’s heroes to have a path to promotion, but also select useful talents for Da Qin and make Da Qin more peaceful. All the heroes in the world will be under the king’s command. able Reduce the intention of having evil intentions and causing trouble in the world. "
Ying Zheng understands what Li Nian means and allows all the smart people in the world to focus on the imperial examination, so they will not think about it all day long and think about rebellion.
"The Qin Dynasty can use the imperial examination method, but there is no need to learn from the Confucian classics that later dynasties must learn and take, because the ministers can provide better things for the king."
This sentence Li Nian said quite confidently, and he must express categorically to the First Emperor: He has something better than Confucianism, and he does not need to use Confucianism.
As one of the Chinese cultures, Confucianism has had a negative impact on China, but its achievements are indelible. If there were no Li Nian, it would be okay for Da Qin to use Confucianism. But now Li Nian has traveled to Da Qin, and he still has a code in his mind that can search for information about future generations. Why use Confucian engines?
Ying Zheng also understood what Li Nian meant and said: "I believe in you!"
Li Niandao: "The imperial examination and education are inseparable. If we want the imperial examination to be implemented, we must enable more people to do so. People receive education, but education cannot be without limitations." "If you don't think, you will lose sight, if you think without learning, you will perish." I think it should be added, "Learning without guidance will lead to confusion." If students are not guided correctly, they will go down the wrong path. The more knowledge they have, the worse they will be. The more widespread it is, the greater the harm to the country and society.”
Just like some public intellectuals in later generations, are they uneducated?
No, the knowledge level of many of them is higher than that of ordinary people, but what they say is poisonous.
