Rather, it is the nobles and noble families who can directly control the common people and slaves. Those are the people that Lord Shang wants to target. Only by solving them can the new law be implemented.
As for the common people, there is no big obstacle.
When common people become merchants, they will soon have surplus money and goods, but once ordinary people have more than money and goods, big changes will often occur.
Lu Buwei, Marquis of Wenxin, is one of the most obvious examples. As a merchant, he bet on the former king and made a profit that was rare in Xia. The Qin king was not happy about it.
Therefore, all businesses of merchants are also in a state of suppression, except for those merchants who are necessary and those who are controllable merchants.
It is absolutely impossible for merchants to move freely and elusively.
If these people appear in large numbers, they will cause obstacles to the government's ability to govern the entire country. If they cause obstacles, the country's power will weaken, and the country's power will weaken.
It can be clearly seen from the various countries in Shandong.
Therefore, the people must be weakened. Only by weakening them can the country be strong and the Qin Dynasty be what it is today.
Because... they were the ones who took away the wealth and power that should have been mobilized by the Qin Dynasty, and there were Shiqing Shilu, countless nobles, and aristocratic families in the Shandong countries.
It was precisely because the powerful forces belonging to the monarch were divided one by one that the states in Shandong were so weak that they are no match for the Qin Dynasty today. The king's brother's plan was to change the way the people were weak?
At present, the most obvious country is the Chu Kingdom. The king of Chu issued the order to extend favor, which also weakened the people and strengthened the power in his hands to make the government orders smooth and orderly.
Sure enough, Guoqiang!
Qin Wangzheng felt that this point must not be touched.
"There is nothing wrong with what the king said."
"Han Fei has a saying: The government of King Fuming has made the people who are engaged in business, industry, leisure and food few, and their reputation is low. They have little interest in their main work and have to do nothing. If you practice in this world, you will be able to buy official titles."
"If officials and nobles can be bought, then merchants and workers are not humble. If traitors and rich merchants can use it in the market, there will be many merchants. If you gather more farmers and respect those who work hard and fight, then there will be few honest men and many high-priced people.
.”
"This statement is the same as that of Shang Jun, and Xuan Qingjue is also a statement of seeking the country. However... Guan Zi said that the four peoples, scholars, farmers, industry and merchants, are the stone people of the country. The people rest on the fields and cultivate them."
"Seniors, officials who plan the affairs of the country both internally and externally, and merchants and workers who travel throughout the Xia for profit, all four are indispensable to a country."
“Without the cultivation of common people, everything would be without roots.”
"Without the operation of commerce and industry, all kinds of wealth would be dead."
"Without the planning of scholars, everything would be in chaos!"
Let’s talk about whether there is a change that can make the Qin Kingdom last for thousands of generations.
have!
Indeed there is!
The Patriarch once said that in a small country with few people, it will have a few weapons but not use them, and the people will die again and not move far away. Although there are boats and carriages, there is nothing to take them. Although there are armored soldiers, there is nothing to display them.
Make people re-knot the rope and use it to achieve the ultimate cure. The food is delicious, the clothes are beautiful, the people live in peace, and the customs are happy. Neighbors look at each other, the sounds of chickens and dogs are heard, and the people do not interact with each other until they grow old and die.
What is a small country with few people?
In a small country, there are few people in the government who manage the country, and there are few rules and orders. Everything only needs to be carried out according to the original operation of the way of heaven.
A few people means that the people have few desires and desires. If they are quiet and guarded, conflicts will not appear.
If this is the case, then thousands of people will enjoy delicious food and fine decorations, live in stable houses, organize their own customs, look at each other from neighboring countries, and be quiet and undisturbed, and they will naturally last for eternity.
Confucianism also has: The conduct of the great road is that the world is for the common good, select the worthy and capable, be trustworthy and cultivate harmony. Therefore, people do not only love their relatives, nor only their children.
Those who are widowed, lonely, alone, and disabled or sick are all provided with support, knowing that men have their share and women have their own home.
The goods are abandoned on the ground, and there is no need to hide them in oneself. The power to hate them does not come from the body, and it does not have to be for oneself. This is why people seek to close the door without prospering, and thieves and thieves do not commit crimes. Therefore, the door is not closed to the outside. This is called the Great Way
same.
It's a pity that the best virtue is not virtue. Therefore, if you have virtue, such a worldly realm may only exist in classics and illusions.
And in the long course of time, any kind of change is a metaphysical change, which does not touch the real metaphysics and the origin of the truth.
What's more, even with the level of common people under Zhu Xiamu, it is impossible to reach that level.
However, as the world progresses together, all developments and changes are heading towards the realm mentioned by the ancestors and Confucianism.
Because, compared to ancient times, today has surpassed a lot.
The future will undoubtedly be more progressive than the present.
The still water is deep and needs to be gentle. If it pushes the waves to help the current, it will come roaring.
Zhou Qing felt that it was still a very good result.
"Only few people have heard of the theory of the Four Peoples, but the State of Qi will not last long after all."
"Guan Zhong conquered Qi in only half a generation, but Shang Jun conquered Qin in six generations."
Wangzheng of Qin naturally read and studied the theory of Guanzi in Qi State in the collection room. As a great talent who was able to assist Duke Huan of Qi and nine other princes and help the Xia Dynasty, he had his own merits.
But... Guan Zhong's reform of Qi State could only achieve temporary results. Therefore, after Guan Zhong's death, the entire Qi State was in chaos, and Qi State's hegemony was gone.
On the other hand, the laws of the Shang Dynasty were laid down for the Qin State and the whole country abided by them. Over the past six generations and more than a hundred years, the power of the Qin Dynasty has been growing day by day, and it is only now that the Qin Dynasty is the only powerful and hegemonic country.
However, the power of the four people does exist. Without the existence of merchants and workers, the entire Xianyang City would not be as lively as it is now. However, the merchants and workers repair the tools to cure the hardships, gather extravagant wealth, and store it for the time of the year.
profit.
It is truly a silverfish in the country!
Qin Wangzheng felt that what his brother said deviated from the essence of Qin's law, which was the foundation of Qin, the foundation for Qin's strength, and the foundation that had been tested for six generations.
Can't be shaken.
What Brother Wang said is slightly inappropriate.
Meng Yi listened and did not dare to interrupt.
"Don't avoid the doctor if you punish someone who has done something wrong, and don't spare the common man if you reward good people."
"This is when Xuan Qing and Han Fei were discussing Taoism in the past. They often said that the only way to stabilize a country is to use law, and the writing of the word "法" was written by Lord Shang during the years of Duke Xiao."
"That was written by Lord Shang for the Qin State of that day."
"Now, the Qin Kingdom is the only one in the Xia Dynasty, and it is even going to dominate the world. So, what does the king think, if Lord Shang is here, what will happen to the law he wrote?"
Zhou Qing did not say much about the specific details, the specific changes and the connotations. These can be discussed in detail, and it is not even difficult.
The key... lies in a heart and a belief.
Facing Brother Wang's gaze, Zhou Qing's expression did not change, and he still had a slight smile. The words he just said may be a bit loud, but he will have to face it sooner or later.
Shang Jun's method has been practiced in Qin for more than a hundred years, and it has almost completed its own process.
In the next step, another method will appear to replace it, which is more in line with the current situation of Qin.
"The words of Marquis Wu Zhen... are also what I want."
There is no need to say more about the politics of the King of Qin. No matter what the brother Wang's intention is, there is one thing that he agrees with, that is, it must change, and the new situation of Qin must be changed.
That point was changing during the years when Wen Xin was waiting for Lu Buwei.
Since he came to the throne, and since Guan Li took charge of the government, he has also realized that the laws of Shang Jun cannot be implemented forever. For example, after the military meritorious officials in the army have wiped out the Shandong kingdoms, what will happen to the iron-blooded warriors of the Qin Dynasty?
That is one of the fundamental reasons why the warriors of Great Qin are unparalleled.
After wiping out all the kingdoms and having no more opponents, what can we do?
…
This is also the reason why Qin Wangzheng has been reading more books from hundreds of schools and countries recently, and I hope he can benefit from it.
******
When we left the side hall of Xingle Palace, dusk had already fallen, and the last ray of afterglow in the distance on the horizon was only a red mark left in the white clouds.
I have to say that the food made by Shangshifang is still good. I ate and drank casually while chatting casually, with some singing and dancing to add to the fun.
After two hours, everyone felt full in their stomachs, and with the infiltration of wine, they felt even more comfortable. Although Meng Yi behind him was also two hours old, he didn't drink too much wine and his mind was clear.
As he stepped forward, purple mysterious light loomed around his body, and his mysterious skills were running. Although it was unintentional, all the alcohol in his body was gone, leaving only the faint smell of alcohol on his body.
"Meng Yi, what can you gain from being in the palace today?"
He was walking in front, flanked by a group of black dragon heavy-armored soldiers sent by Li Zhong to protect him. According to the order given by the king before leaving for the harem just now, there were also chariots and horses sent by the order of the chariot government.
Passing by Hongtai, it was still the same as when I first saw it more than ten years ago.
It's a pity that Hongtai remains the same and things change.
"Meng Yi is stupid and cannot understand the words of the great king and Marquis Wu Zhen."
"Little gain."
When Meng Yi heard this, he quickly bowed his hands and followed suit slowly without stopping.
Today, when I was having a banquet with him, it was really... hard for me to say anything. With my identity and status, I couldn't even say anything, let alone put forward any opinions.
The variable legal issues discussed at the beginning between the king and Marquis Wu Zhen are no longer something that he can touch now.
Secondly, it’s about longevity!
Talking about the splendor of various countries!
Talking about the affairs of Chu State, Jiangnan, Baiyue, Beihu, etc., there are many topics, covering a lot of things, not limited to the superficial and the superficial, Meng Yi personally sighed with emotion.
Since the Great Crown Prince took office, he has been burdened with important responsibilities for the whole country. He actually knows those things in such detail. Marquis Wu Zhen is also knowledgeable and can speak in one sentence, and it is not a general talk.
Even the princes in the harem are mentioned later. This topic is quite taboo within the Qin court.
According to the usual practice, the Qin State should now establish the position of crown prince.
However, the king made it clear a few years ago that he would not establish a crown prince for the time being, but Marquis Wu Zhen was able to talk on this topic, and there was nothing unusual about the king's wishes.
Wu Zhenhou!
He is indeed the person that the King admires the most.
"Hahaha, you are the doctor's order now. Listen more, see more, and do more. You will be rewarded after a few years."
Whether Meng Yi really has enlightenment is not within the scope of Zhou Qing's consideration.
The future Xianyang and the future Zhuxia belong to Meng Yi and others.
"yes."
Meng Yi nodded.
Immediately, he and Marquis Wuzhen stepped out of Xingle Palace. Ten feet away from the palace gate, there was already a chariot of King Si Ma ready, and the people in the chariot were very fast.
"Wu Zhenhou!"
A man wearing a dark brocade robe, a miter binding his hair, and handsome eyebrows approached from where the carriage and horses were and bowed to him.
"Well, Zhao Gao?"
Zhou Qing did not reject Brother Wang's kindness. Although he was not a member of the Tianzong, he was a Guannei Marquis in Xianyang, so he should have the glory and honor that belonged to Guannei Marquis.
Looking at the man saluting in front of him, he seemed a little familiar. Looking past him, he couldn't help but smile. Who could he be if he wasn't Zhao Gao?
It's just that... the aura of Zhao Gao in front of him was a bit strange, and his spiritual sense instinctively emanated, passing over Zhao Gao's body. After taking a breath, his expression showed a hint of surprise.
"Have you practiced the Korean Night Blood Clothes Technique?"
I had traveled to South Korea in the past, so I naturally understood the four evil generals of the night. With my cultivation at that time, I was not afraid of the four evil generals, so I knew a little about the four evil generals.
I have never seen the coir raincoat guest!
Chao Banshee should have died in Xianyang Palace.
Ji Wuye was killed by himself.
Bai Yifei was a chess piece left by himself, and it was regarded as a chess piece left for Liusha. Looking back, this chess piece was quite capable, but Liusha was unable to effectively compete with it.
"Wuzhenhou Daofa has bright eyes. Last year, Zhao Gao was stupid and angered the king. He was imprisoned in Yongxiang. He accidentally got cold air into his body and his life was in danger. Fortunately, there was this scroll in the net to clear away the cold air. It is to practice
Already."
The commander of the Che Mansion, Zhao Gao, responded in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.
"Your qualifications are quite good."
"You have made great contributions to the assassination of Qin by the state of Yan. Next, you should be more attentive."
Zhao Gao's cultivation level is already that of a god. A few months ago, when Zong Quan was delivering documents to himself, he also mentioned that there was a rebellion in Han Shen Xianyang Palace that day, and Zhao Gao showed up to help, which was a great contribution.
Under normal circumstances, there must be a big reward, but the document has been left behind long ago. Zhao Gao has stopped at the Chefu Order in this life. Even if he has great achievements, he cannot go further.
At close range, he could sense another extremely cold air in Zhao Gao's body. The level was not low, and he didn't know where it came from.
Sure enough, I have benefited from it. I am afraid that within ten years, I will be able to reach the pinnacle of spiritual transformation and have a glimpse of the mysterious gateway to enlightenment.
It seems... Zhao Gao has some opportunities.
Night!
Snare!
The Eight Swords of the King of Yue!
…
Looking at the respectful Zhao Gao in front of him, he smiled slightly and walked past him.
"Here."
Zhao Gao bowed deeply again.
Observing the direction Wuzhenhou was walking, he quickly followed. Wuzhenhou's strength was really terrifying. Although there was no breath flowing through his body, standing in front of Wuzhenhou, he unconsciously felt frightened.
Not only that, at that moment, it seemed as if Marquis Wu Zhen had penetrated all the secrets in him at a glance.
But Wuzhenhou didn't say much.
Don't care?
Or... don't care?
He probably doesn't care.
With Wuzhenhou's level of cultivation, even at the level of Xuan Guan, he could not be moved, unless it was the rumored Gui Yuan He Dao... which was also what he longed for.
Waiting for Marquis Wu Zhen to board the Si Ma King's chariot, commanding the left and right, the chariot moved smoothly towards the exit of Xianyang Palace.
