Chapter 189 I, Ji Heng, am the evil dragon!(1/2)
Breeze.
It blows the hair and whiskers, and also blows the heartstrings.
Ji Heng stood up and poured himself a glass of water. He looked at the sky with slightly blank eyes, holding a pottery bowl in his hand. He didn't know whether he was right or wrong in doing so, but this move was indeed a solution to the harsh problems that Great Qin had accumulated over the years.
The most appropriate way.
It's just that it was "started from a baby" and came out too early.
He also didn't know what impact opening this 'magic box' so solemnly would have on the world in the future.
But he didn't have many other options.
He picked up the pottery bowl, took a sip, and said with a somewhat generous voice: "This method is not as good as imagined. Once it is not handled well, the government may force the people to rebel. In the past, the government only pressured the youth.
Strong labor force, once the court sets its sights on the 'family', I can't predict what kind of consequences it will have in the future."
"But for now, this is the most practical option."
"It is also the easiest to include most of the soldiers who have received meritorious awards."
Fusu's eyes were slightly strange.
This was the first time he saw Ji Heng look so dignified.
But he was a little confused as to why Ji Heng was so worried?
Although Fusu was confused in his heart, he said: "What you said is absolutely true. However, the unification of the world by the Qin Dynasty progressed too quickly, so that most of the generals accumulated too many military exploits. In addition, there were subsequent wars with the Xiongnu in the South China Sea.
The accumulated rewards are enough to overwhelm the imperial court."
"Sir, feel free to say anything."
Ji Heng knew that Fusu didn't know much about this, and he didn't want to say more about it. He just continued to talk about it: "The fields in Guanzhong are fertile, so the grain output is actually much higher than in other places."
Few, and after the Qin Dynasty started the war to destroy the country, most of them won, and many soldiers took advantage of this to accumulate a lot of wealth."
“It just hasn’t all been realized.”
"even so."
"The people in Guanzhong still choose to believe in the imperial court. The reason is very simple, because the head of Guizhou believes that the imperial court will eventually be able to fulfill the rewards under the military merit system. If they get those rewards, the difficult life they are living will be greatly improved, and even
You can become a 'rich farmer' in one instant."
"Qin people have been deceiving themselves in the past."
"But this kind of dream cannot be exposed. Once exposed, the people of Qin will feel that they have been deceived by the government, and the anger and madness that burst out from the depths of their hearts will be enough to swallow up the entire Qin court.
"
"That's when."
"No one in the world will miss Qin."
"There is no one who wants to restore the country for Qin as much as the remnants of the Six Kingdoms."
"There is no greater sorrow than the death of the heart."
When Fusu heard Ji Heng's words, his expression became very serious, but he had to admit that if the people of Qin really understood the current situation, they would probably complain against the court as Ji Heng said, and no one would be grateful.
Da Qin is good.
He smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Ji Heng continued: "It is precisely because of this that this matter must be resolved. But as mentioned before, the court cannot do it by relying on real efforts to realize the rewards, so it can only find another way."
"Qian Shou can't explain it, it doesn't make sense."
"Then change the way."
"Most of them fight outside for any fame, but just to improve the situation at home and provide a better environment for future generations."
"That's why."
"Only my suggestions are feasible."
“And this only has the basis for implementation by the people of China, Laos and Qin.”
"Most of the old Qin people have some land in their hands. Although they can't really provide food and clothing, as long as they don't pay very high oral taxes every year, the family's food rations can be saved."
"So they have the conditions to accept their children to go to school."
"However." Ji Heng raised his eyes and looked at Fusu and Hu Hai, shook his head and said: "If we implement it directly like this, the resistance will be extremely great, because it will shake the entire class of 'shi' and the 'officials' who will benefit from it.
', it involves a wide range of areas and involves the entire Guanzhong."
Fusu stood up from the table and said slowly: "So Sir, you asked your second brother and others to compile books on literacy and digitization in order not to cause dissatisfaction among the 'officials'?"
Ji Heng nodded and said: "The selection of officials in Da Qin used to be done through the academy."
"There are many things to learn in the school. In addition to reading and writing, you also need to write official documents, arithmetic, military affairs, etc. Under the school's rules, the cost of training a qualified 'official' in Da Qin is very high, and the imperial court cannot afford it.
Secondly, the 'official' class will also be dissatisfied with this."
"Because only families with relatively high titles can enter the school."
"My suggestion is to allow most ordinary families to send their children here. This will not only greatly lower the admission threshold, but also greatly increase the competition for 'officials'. They will definitely have great concerns about this.
Resentment."
"So if you want to truly implement this policy, you must carefully consider it and go through many considerations and plans."
"Please sir, please elaborate." Fu Su saluted Ji Heng and asked.
Since Ji Heng is willing to speak, he will no longer hide his clumsiness at this time. Moreover, Da Qin has also accumulated a lot of things, so it is time to continue moving forward, and the steps will be much greater than before.
But we must go.
If he doesn't leave, once the strata of all parties are stabilized, Da Qin will not be able to leave even if it wants to.
He said: "The starting point of this strategy is to solve the problem of merit and reward and be based on the people. Therefore, the acceptance of the Guizhou head at the bottom must be considered. Knowledge is of course priceless, but the reward the Guizhou head can get is limited. If the court is greedy and excessive,
The demands are too much, how could Qian Shou be willing to make this deal?"
Fusu nodded.
Ji Heng is right.
If you can't even solve the problem of a family's livelihood, but still want to let future generations study, this is a complete daydream, and it is impossible for anyone to agree.
He also understood clearly.
Why would Ji Heng say that only Guanzhong can do it?
Under the system of military merit and nobility, most people in the Qin Dynasty had dozens or hundreds of acres of land in their hands. Therefore, even if the court defaulted, the head of Guizhou was only dissatisfied and resentful, but he did not ask for it too eagerly. This was Ji Heng.
The key to this idea being possible.
Qin people are ‘rich’!
Ji Heng continued: "In addition to considering the acceptance level of the lower-level officials in Guizhou, we also need to consider the 'officials'. Regardless of whether Da Qin admits it or not, a large number of Guizhou descendants will use this method to learn Chinese and Chinese characters, which will definitely cause panic among the lowest-level officials."
For fear of being replaced.'
"The number of 'officials' at the lowest level is the largest, and they are also the tentacles of the Qin Dynasty that truly control the world. They must not cause the 'officials' to rebel."
"So we must consider the acceptance level of 'officials'."
"in addition."
“There’s also cost to consider.”
"It took the Qin Dynasty a total of ten years to unify the world. Even now, it only takes twenty years. Twenty years is one generation. At least one million Qin people can be affected by this policy."
"No matter how much the cost is reduced and the requirements are lowered, it is still an unbearable expense for the Qin court, so the court's ability to bear it within a certain period of time must also be considered."
Fusu silently remembered it in his heart.
But he also felt a little numb on his scalp.
There are too many groups affected, and there cannot be any problems.
Ji Heng's face remained as usual, he picked up the pottery bowl, took a sip, and said seriously: "The highest civil rank in the Qin Dynasty cannot exceed Gongcheng, which is the highest level than a doctor. Any higher level can only be achieved by becoming an official."
"And the titles of officials above the imperial court are at least from the fifth rank."
"That is to say, they are all at least 'Qing' level."
"In fact, the salary for those below the rank of fifth doctor is not very high. Every time you advance to a higher level, you will get one or two more hectares of land, and you don't have to kowtow or serve."
"The standard for entering the school is to be an official."
"According to the law, officials can get seven hectares of fields and seven 'houses' of homesteads."
"As for the titles above the rank of doctor, and the lowest level of civil servants, the court has actually honored them before. The ones that have not been honored are mostly the rewards for lower-level titles such as high-ranking officials and hairpins."
"The benefits of these titles are not very high, but each time you advance to a higher level, you will receive one hectare (one hundred acres) of land and one 'house'. There are currently hundreds of thousands of people in the army of Da Qin who hold these three titles."
"If you look at the entire Guanzhong, it may be as high as millions."
"Millions of people are asking for land and houses. The amount of land they need is definitely not something the imperial court can provide."
"What needs to be resolved now is the demands of these people."
"The status of these three knight-level people in Great Qin is actually very embarrassing. If they are high or low, they will be low. Those with low status in the army only wear armor and red or black rag turbans. The highest status is sergeant major.
If you are higher up, you can serve as the 'car right'."
"But this is only in the military."
"The titles they received were basically civil nobility."
"You can't become an official without anyone's recommendation, and you don't have the financial resources to study in a school. Although you have a title, in the end you are still a Guizhou head who relies on God for your livelihood."
"So if the imperial court provides their children with the opportunity to study, they are the easiest to be persuaded. However, taking into account the influence of 'officials' and the imperial court's expenses, the imperial court can at most allow some hairpins to be admitted to school with people who have not changed their title. As for the
Because there are too many people, the imperial court cannot afford them."
"And if the scope of opening is too broad, it will look a bit cheap."
