Chapter 213: Do not force, only guide
At this time, there was also a ban on close relatives marrying, but the so-called "close relatives" were different from modern times. Immediate relatives were not allowed to marry, cousins were not allowed to marry, and people with the same surname were not allowed to marry. But cousins can.
Like cousins marrying each other, and then marrying each other, it still existed in later dynasties.
After saying a few more things, Li Niandao said: "These are not forced orders. I hope you will tell them to the public so that the people can consciously abide by them."
A doctor said: "Sir, this is These are all good things, and they should be forced to be known to all people, rather than made people aware of it! ”
These words caused many doctors to nod.
If these things are true, they are great good things that benefit the people. They should be widely advertised and promoted to the world, so that everyone knows and abides by them, rather than making the people conscious.
Before Li Nian answered, a doctor had already replied on his behalf: "How can it be so simple? For example, it is a good thing to boil the water before drinking it, but you need to use firewood to boil the water, and ordinary people's firewood, Cooking and heating require careful consideration. How can there be free firewood that can boil water for drinking at any time? "
As the saying goes, "Seven things to start the door: firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea", firewood ranks first.
Because there is no firewood, even if there are the other six items, it is impossible to light a fire to keep warm and cook the food.
Firewood is hard to come by. Even in the 1980s and 1990s, firewood was a problem for some people, let alone now.
The firewood that the people finally obtained may not be enough for cooking and heating. People are also forced to boil the water for drinking, wasting firewood on boiling water...
Even with good intentions, It will also be considered a bad thing by the public!
After the doctor said this, other doctors also understood that although a good thing is a good thing, it is subject to the actual situation and it is impossible for everyone to implement it. If it is forced by law, it will be even more difficult. Counterproductive.
The doctor who answered said again: "Young master, his wisdom is as deep as the abyss. He has already foreseen this situation. Therefore, he does not force the order, but only informs the public. This is to let those who can do it know what to do and what cannot be done." A person can also predict and do it later when he can do it.”
The other doctors looked at Li Nian and saw Li Nian nodded, indicating that he indeed thought so.
Due to the current actual situation in Daqin, these things cannot be accomplished overnight, but they can be mentioned. People can be made aware of this, and examples can be used to let them see the benefits of doing so, so that those who have the conditions can Do it spontaneously.
Li Niandao said: "It is true. If Li makes these things a law and forces all places to implement them, it will no longer be a good thing and will no longer be beneficial to the people. It will even turn into tyranny and harsh rule. , and harsh government is fiercer than a tiger!"
The phrase "tyranny is fiercer than a tiger" made all the doctors feel shocked. The one who proposed to The doctor who had been ordered stood up and said with a shameful face: "The common people have little knowledge and do not think well, but fortunately the young master is wise..."
Hearing that he wanted to apologize, Li Niandao said: "People are not saints, how can anyone be without fault? What's more, even sages have their faults. What's wrong with you speaking out of good intentions? Please sit down!"
After the person sat down, Li Niandao said: "This is the fifth thing. In a few days, your Majesty will send people to foreign lands. The journey to foreign lands is long and requires traveling through mountains, rivers, and forests. Even those who choose to go to foreign lands will For a strong and healthy army It is difficult to avoid getting sick even if you are healthy. Therefore, you need to be accompanied by a doctor!”
“This trip to a foreign country is not only to investigate the situation of foreign countries, but also to bring back foreign crops to benefit the Qin Dynasty. .”
In order to let doctors know the importance of traveling to foreign lands and be willing to go to foreign lands, Li Niandao said: "If there is a crop called 'cotton', clothes made from it have excellent thermal insulation effect. If you can have one, even in Yan The land of Zhao is not afraid of the bitter cold. ”
India does produce cotton, but the cotton originating from India is a coarse staple cotton. Due to its low yield and short and thick fibers, it is not suitable for machine spinning. , has been gradually eliminated in later generations. Later generations mainly used long-staple cotton and fine-staple cotton, but these two were produced in the Americas and cannot be reached at all now. The only choice is to find cotton from India. It is better than nothing.
After hearing what Li Nian said, the doctors were first surprised, then happy, and then excited. If such a crop really existed, bringing it back would help many people avoid the cold in winter and survive the winter.
This is a great thing that benefits the country and the people, so why can’t we do it?
Even if they will die on the road, they are still willing to go. Immediately, a doctor will get up and ask Li Nian to go to a foreign land.
Li Niandao: "Don't be anxious, everyone. We are going to a high mountain and a long road. We may encounter various dangers on the way, and we may even lose our lives on the road, and even the bones cannot be transported back to our homeland. You must think carefully about this! And! Because there are many dangers on the way, it is best for those who are in good health to go."
Hearing this, some older doctors and female doctors looked regretful, and Li Nian's words obviously excluded them. outside.
But when I think about it, I think it should be right. The journey to a foreign land is long and dangerous. If they are not strong enough, they will be a drag on the traveling team.
Li Nian added: "In addition to the above, there are some things that I have to do for you. A military academy will be established in Xianyang soon, and you will have to go and teach."
Military academy, It should be the same thing as their doctor's academy. It was this young master who advised the Emperor of Qin to build an academy dedicated to training generals?
Will future generals also come from the academy? Wouldn't that mean there would be an endless supply of generals?
However, if they are to be taught in military academies, they should be taught how to provide first aid on the battlefield.
In fact, the doctors did not know that they had to teach not only the students of the military academy, but also the group of smart young people selected by the Naval Academy and the First Emperor to go to Xianyang.
If the navy wants to sail on the sea in the future, it must be equipped with doctors, and naval officers must also have certain knowledge of first aid at sea.
Those children are the first batch of Li Nian’s formal students. The seeds of Da Qin’s future are very precious. Naturally, they also need to master some medical knowledge so that they can save themselves or others when encountering certain situations. .
When Li Nian met with many doctors and said that he would select some doctors to accompany him to foreign lands, a delegation from Great Qin had already arrived in the "foreign land".
It is said to be a "foreign land", but in fact it is no different at all. In later generations, it was the land of China, but it was occupied by the Xiongnu at this time and was not part of the territory of Qin for the time being.
This mission was sent by the Qin Dynasty to visit the Huns. They set off with the returning Huns mission and arrived at Man City, the head of the Huns, today.
Looking at the Xiongnu Royal City not far away, Jiao Li, the main person in charge of this envoy, said to Chen Ping, the deputy envoy beside him: "Although this city is not as good as Xianyang, it still has its own style!"
< br>Chen Ping looked at Manchester City carefully for a few times, then looked at a few more places, and said in a neither light nor serious tone: "This city is easy to change." Defending is difficult to attack. The people who built this city must be people who know how to fight. The dangerous points are heavily guarded. If you want to attack, the best strategy is to defeat the enemy without fighting. The middle strategy is to break it from the inside. The worst strategy is to break it with force. . ”
These words made Jiao Li look askance. Why did he, the deputy envoy, think about how to capture Rencheng when he saw it?
He looked around hurriedly. Fortunately, there were no Huns around for the time being. If the Huns heard about it, they were going on a peaceful mission this time, not to kill people and seize the city.
