Chapter 338: Creating a Great Qin Sect
The ministers did not object to the fact that the people of the Qin Dynasty were the high caste of the Peacock Kingdom.
Is this not natural? Should the people of the Qin Dynasty be a low caste in the Peacock Kingdom?
"Reserving the caste system can not only win over the middle and high castes of the Peacock Country, but also stabilize the lower castes, and also ensure the status of the people of the Qin Dynasty in the middle of the Peacock Country."
"If the caste system is not retained and the people of our Great Qin are designated as high castes, the lower castes of the Peacock Kingdom will probably look down on me, Great Qin and not take me seriously!"
After hearing this, the ministers thought about it and said that the people of Peacock Country were indeed outrageous. Such abnormal people may really have to be governed by abnormal laws.
Because their minds are not like normal people, treating them as humans may not necessarily think you are friendly, but they may also think that you are weak and they are very awesome. You are forced to be friendly to them because you are afraid of them. So you are arrogant and want to shit and pee on your head.
Instead, they don’t treat them as human beings and whip them hard with a whip. The more they will think you are powerful and praise you and obey you.
"The Peacock Kingdom is different from our Great Qin. Some of the governments in our Great Qin should not be rushed to be implemented in the Peacock Kingdom. It must be adjusted according to the local conditions."
"With the national policy of major government orders and national policies, some government orders can be adjusted according to the situation on the ground."
"This is not only the governance strategy of Daqin for the Peacock Kingdom, but also the governance strategy of Daqin for other non-Chinese cultural areas in the future."
"Li knew that His Majesty and the Dukes wanted the world to be unified, but this matter was not easy to implement. There would be many problems if it was forced to implement it. You have to eat one bite at a time, and Ruth took it step by step!"
The Qin Dynasty in history made this mistake.
Too anxious to make all parties agree, and the actual situation in other six countries was not examined, which made the people accumulate a lot of resentment.
But under the guidance of Li Nian, the Qin in this world was not so impatient, and he seemed even more calm.
Wang Wan, Wang Jian, Wei Liaoren and others all supported Li Nian's words.
Governing the country is not a matter of one night, it is a project that requires patience.
The First Emperor asked, "What is the 'main government order and national policy'?"
The First Emperor knew in his heart that he was asking on purpose so that Li Nian could answer.
Li Nian said: "Acknowledge that our territory of the Great Qin is an inseparable part of the Great Qin; recognize that it is governed by the Great Qin court and recognize the laws of the Great Qin. If it is subject to the local conditions, some decrees will be issued according to local conditions, but these decrees must be approved by the Great Qin court and within the provisions of the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty; "
"Acknowledge Your Majesty as the King of the Great Qin, recognize and use our Great Qin language and writing, use the Great Qin coins, and carry out the Great Qin education..."
"The above is what I believe is the 'main government orders and national policies', which are not complete yet. We must discuss and decide with Your Majesty and the Dukes again. This is the bottom line and cannot be overcome!"
After hearing this, all the ministers understood that the Peacock Kingdom and other places could make government orders that were different from those in the Qin Dynasty in some aspects, but set a bottom line and cannot be overcome.
Wang Wan nodded and said, "You have to set the bottom line, otherwise it will not be the land of my Great Qin, but another country, and will cause trouble in the future."
Li Nian said: "I also have some ideas about the specific governance of the Peacock Kingdom and all the officials. I think one or several governors can be selected to govern. For the sake of government affairs, commerce and military strengths in this place, the candidates for the governor will be negotiated by Your Majesty and the court. The governor's term must be set. The term of office must not be too long, nor too short."
"The candidate for the Governor is best for people from the Qin Dynasty. After the term of office expires, they will not be re-elected and will be recalled to the court to report their duties..."
When the First Emperor and his ministers thought that this was actually a system adopted by the countries such as Yingying and Aoya in later generations, and the effect was quite good.
Li Nian said again: "If there is no governor, some princes can be enfeoffed here. For example, the Peacock Kingdom has a large territory and can be divided into several countries, and each country can be handed over to a prince."
Li Nian was not concerned about the future unrest in these areas after the enfeoffment of the young masters overseas. The enfeoffment of the young masters fought against each other. His goal was very clear: to spread the Chinese civilization and dye the world the color of China.
If you are messy, just beat them. As long as the meat is in the pot of China, it will still belong to the Chinese civilization and will not be taken away by outsiders.
When the First Emperor heard this, he glanced at Li Nian, but said nothing. He now understood this boy's intention to do things. He took Chinese civilization first and the Qin Dynasty had to lean back.
Li Nian continued: "When governing, we must strictly implement our policy of the Great Qin and spread the language, writing, customs and habits of the Great Qin to these areas. Not only should we force orders, but we should also use some methods to attract local people and turn them from foreign peoples to our Great Qin people!"
"It is easy to conquer a place, but difficult to conquer the body, and difficult to conquer the thoughts, that is, it is easy to conquer the mouth but difficult to conquer the heart. Only by transforming the people of foreign countries into the people of the Qin Dynasty from the perspective of thought can we have long-term stability."
Everyone suddenly became interested and listened carefully. Li Nian said, "My people in the Qin Dynasty are different from local people. As long as the local people are not stupid, they must understand this!"
"After the Great Qin conquered the Peacock Kingdom, they would definitely think that the people of the Great Qin are more noble. They are inferior to the people of the Great Qin, so they want to become the real people of the Great Qin. Not only can we not stop their thoughts, but we should give them a way!"
"But this road cannot be given too easily. Things that are easy to obtain often do not feel precious. Only when the process of obtaining is difficult will you think that it is valuable and rare!"
"Standards can be set, and the degree of mastery of the language, characters, customs and habits of the Qin Dynasty can be evaluated based on the amount of wealth donated to the Qin Dynasty. Only those who meet the standards can obtain the identity certification of the Qin people. You can't even say the words of the Qin Dynasty, and you can't write the words of the Qin Dynasty, so you are embarrassed to be a citizen of the Qin Dynasty?"
"Some of them have outstanding contributors can also be verified, such as those with outstanding talents among the people of foreign countries, and those who have made contributions to our Great Qin. This method can be used for our Great Qin."
"This move can not only increase the talents available to our Great Qin, but also weaken the people of foreign countries. If the talents and talents in the tribe are led away by our Great Qin, the possibility of rebellion and rebellion will be reduced!"
This sentence talks about the hearts of Emperor Qin and his ministers. He recruited talented people from the people of foreign countries, which not only strengthened the power of Qin, but also weakened the power of the people of foreign countries. "Your Majesty and all the dukes should not underestimate this strategy. For a long time in the future, our Daqin will not have a large population in other regions. If you want to govern the local people with an advantage in the number of people, you must appoint local people. For example, if you are stationed in the local area, how many troops can Daqin send?"
"For example, maintaining local public security and levying taxes in daily life, the local people have to do it. If they do not give them any benefits, how can they be willing to do things for the Qin Dynasty?"
The First Emperor and the ministers immediately reacted, yes, even if the Qin Dynasty conquered the Peacock Kingdom, it would be impossible to send many people there immediately, and the local people must be used to do their business.
But to make the local people loyal and willing to do things for the Qin Dynasty, become the lackeys of the Qin Dynasty, give them the identity authentication of the Qin people is both effective and not much effort.
Letting them be certified as the people of the Qin Dynasty can not only demonstrate the importance that the Qin Dynasty attaches to them, but also inspire other local people to follow suit, so as to make diligent contributions and be certified. At the same time, it can also create a certain gap between certified local people and uncertified local people...
We have been certified by the Great Qin. We are not from the Peacocks, but from the noble people of the Great Qin. They are different from the mud legs of the Peacocks. What you used to call us? We can ignore it, but now we have to call you Master of the Great Qin!
The Peacocks, who are certified as citizens of the Qin Dynasty, will not regard their original tribe as their tribe. They will be more loyal to the Qin Dynasty than the real people of the Qin Dynasty and will be more ruthless to the original tribe.
This phenomenon has been proven many times in history!
Li Nian continued: "In order to increase the proportion of the population of our Daqin people in the local area, while turning the local people into our Daqin people, we must also immigrate to the local area. A group of prisoners who have not committed unforgivable crimes can be moved to the local area, and some people can be attracted to this place through incentives. For example, the people of the Daqin people are willing to move here, and they can obtain cultivated land, taxes and labor service."
The population of Daqin is still too small, and the total population of the seven countries is only more than 20 million. The population of Daqin must be increased. Otherwise, not only will the development of Daqin be limited, but it will also be able to develop overseas.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
It is indeed necessary to increase the population of the local people of Daqin, and it must account for a certain proportion to be safe. Otherwise, whenever there is an incident, the local area will be out of control of Daqin.
But Li Nian's method was also problematic. Li Si asked: "The method that the young master said is indeed worthy, but it also has inappropriate points: First, the young master said that those people from foreign countries should be certified as citizens of the Qin Dynasty, and the meaning of the words is to make them have the same status as those of the Qin Dynasty."
"But in this way, will the Qin Dynasty in turn affect the people? Will the people who believe in Buddhism, Jainism, and agree with the caste system lead to the detriment of the Qin people? If it takes longer, will the people who will turn against each other?"
This question is good. This is to ask that these local people are allowed to become citizens of the Qin Dynasty and receive the same treatment as those of the Qin Dynasty. In the future, it will affect the purity of the Qin Dynasty's people. Even if the population of their descendants is too large, it will change the population structure of the Qin Dynasty and in turn occupy the magpie's nest.
Just like a certain Gaul chicken, it is about to change from a Gaul rooster to a Gaul black chicken.
Li Nian said: "The question from Deputy Prime Minister Li is very visionary, but it will not happen in the short term. Even if it happens, it will take decades or even a hundred years later. There is plenty of time to deal with it!"
"Accepting the people of foreign countries and turning them into our great Qin people will definitely have an impact on the great Qin. If you want to avoid this impact, you don't want to have any effect at all. It is best to keep your country closed and not contact and communicate with the outside world at all!"
But this cannot be done. Not to mention the First Emperor, even the ministers such as Wang Wan and Li Si would not accept it.
If it were in the past, Wang Wan, Wei Liao, Li Si and others might have accepted it, but now they know that the world is so big that the Gentiles are not only not a wild land, but are better than the Qin Dynasty in some aspects. How could they not want to occupy and seize it?
The world is so big. If the Qin Dynasty does not occupy those good overseas lands, other countries will occupy them, which may pose a threat to the Qin Dynasty in the future!
"But closing the country means giving up the place outside the Great Qin. Your Majesty and the Lords should know the disadvantages of this, and this method cannot be chosen. Therefore, the Great Qin must contact the foreign countries and communicate with foreign countries. Since it is inevitable, what we need to do is to control it!"
"Previous Prime Minister Li asked, "Whether he believes in Buddhism, Jainism, and agrees with that caste system will lead the people of the Qin Dynasty." This is possible."
"So, when we review their certification qualifications, we must strictly check, closely review their background, religious beliefs, and ideological status, and set more appropriate standards."
"If those who believe in Buddhism and Jainism cannot be certified, if they find that such beliefs are spread in our Great Qin, they will be severely punished! Moreover, in the Great Qin, religious supervision must be set up and religious supervision must be regulated, and they must not let them do anything wrong!"
It is unrealistic to completely eliminate and ban religion. At least it is impossible in the current era of Daqin. It is probably possible only when productivity is far better than modern times and people have extremely high ideological awareness.
Li Nian's idea was to create a religion under the control of the Qin Dynasty, and to defeat and replace other religions. Although the Qin Dynasty has no unified religion now, it has gods to worship, such as the Donghuang Taiyi, the Chu people believed in, and the Five Emperors to worship by the First Emperor.
They can all be used to change and become gods of the Great Qin religion. The ancestors of the Youchao family, Suiren family, Huangdi, Shennong family, and Dayu can also be used as beliefs.
The Qin Dynasty wanted to change and influence the world from all aspects, not only to intimidate the countries with force, but also to culture, thoughts, beliefs and other aspects.
Li Nian said: "I have an idea to establish a world religion originated from the Qin Dynasty and replace foreign sects with it. This can also be used as a standard for assessment and certification, and use whether they are included in the teachings of the Qin Dynasty and how many teachings of the Qin Dynasty can memorize them as reference."
After listening to Li Nian's words, the First Emperor and the ministers fell into thinking: No, this idea is really feasible.
This method is better than violently restricting the destruction of foreign religions. If it can be implemented successfully, it will have a better impact on the people of foreign countries, and it will be more conducive to spreading the Qin culture and destroying its original culture.
Religion is a cultural phenomenon. No matter how much it changes, it will still carry the cultural characteristics of its birthplace. Just like Chinese Buddhism is already different from Indian Buddhism, it still carries some imprints of ancient Indian civilization.
This is already cast at its birth and is difficult to change and remove.
Instead of letting other nations and countries create religions with their cultural characteristics to influence the Great Qin of China, it is better to create a religion with pure Chinese cultural nature to influence others and use it to become a world-wide religion, so that they can believe in the ancestors of China and worship the gods of China.
Why can others do it? China cannot do it. There is no such reason. In this world, the Great Qin or China must not only be better than other countries in terms of force, but also in terms of cultural and ideological thought.
