The first thousand five hundred and fifty nine chapters
"How much of the world do you want to hand over to future generations? How can only a few people do it?"
"Is it a crime to be guilty?"
A lot of information and comments from the Central Academy have been submitted to the government and Wang's brother recently. Many things are not that simple.
If after the destruction of Qi, the state of Qin's unification of the world would return to the three ancient times, this was definitely not what the Qin king wanted to see.
If there is no way to govern the world, the country will not follow the ancient laws!
This was what Shang Jun said back then, and I have always remembered it very clearly.
For more than a hundred years since King Shang's reform, Qin's laws have been constantly given breaks, but the foundation has not changed, which is the foundation of Qin's strength.
Some people in the Central Academy believe that the Qin Dynasty does not need to extend the rule of law in the era of great controversies in the future, and only needs the kingly way.
That is nonsense.
Sure enough, after unifying all the Xia, the Qin State that followed was not comparable to ancient times, nor was it comparable to the three generations. What a foundation it laid.
Qin Wangzheng has been thinking about it.
Immortality!
Maybe there really is.
What if I can't wait for that opportunity?
The only way to build the Qin Dynasty into a country that will never fall down is to leave a strong Qin Dynasty to future generations. This is the foundation.
Didn't you handle this problem well and left it to future generations?
The King of Qin felt that it was his own fault.
This problem should have been solved by itself.
"Although it is difficult!"
"It's also simple."
"In the past, the Shang Dynasty reformed and implemented various strategies that involved all aspects of the Qin State. In just twenty years, the Qin State underwent great changes."
"Now, all the Xia are about to be reunited. If the king wants to make changes, he can use this as a reference. If he wants to do everything well at once, it is absolutely impossible."
"Just like this flower in front of the king, now it is resting. It looks very beautiful and has a delicate fragrance."
"However, after a few days, the flower will undergo other changes and need to be rested again."
"Of course, rest and recuperation would be easy at that time."
Walking to Brother Wang's side, I looked at a flower that Brother Wang was playing with. Many things seemed more complicated, but in fact they were often very simple.
Because complexity and simplicity are the two sides of yin and yang.
The way of governing a country is like the way of swordsmanship. There are thousands of ways of swordsmanship inherited from hundreds of schools of thought. Above the ninth level, there are only one move, and each move is very complicated.
But really powerful sword moves and sword styles need to be so cumbersome?
unnecessary!
Gui Gu's supreme swordsmanship is very simple, at least it looks very simple.
"What Marquis Wu Zhen said... always makes me feel a lot more comfortable."
"Perhaps as Marquis Wu Zhen said in the past, what Qin really needs already exists."
Nothing and no decision will happen out of thin air.
If you want to make a plan, you must already have it, or it must have taken shape before you can use it for your own use.
Qin Wangzheng's eyes fell on the flowers in his hands. For no reason, his thoughts were much quieter. The strategies of Shang Jun back then passed through his heart.
Danfeng's eyes flashed brightly, as if he had thought of something.
"Then...Wu Zhenhou thinks that for Da Qin, the feudal state and the counties are integrated? Which one is more suitable for the current situation?"
Throw the flowers in your hands out and fall in the garden in front of you? Fall on the ground of the garden. Are you born here? Sleep here.
"Haha, which one is more suitable for the moment?"
"Your Majesty, this is a very interesting question. Some students in the Central Academy are wondering which words are best!"
"Remember Xuan Qing and the king said that feudal states and counties have their own advantages and disadvantages? The advantage of the former lies in the advantage of blood."
"The feudal states were thought to protect the emperor. Judging from the three hundred years since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, they have their own advantages. Without the feudal states of the Zhou Dynasty, the land of the Xia would not have expanded to Liaodong, Longxi, Beihu, and Lingnan."
"What's the disadvantage of the former? It's specialized in the lower level, so there have been hundreds of years of endless war since the Spring and Autumn Period."
"More than a hundred years ago? Shang Jun's implementation of counties and counties in the Qin Kingdom was incorporated into the center of the elderly? Strengthen the monarch's control of the entire Qin Kingdom."
"Needless to say the advantages. Under the rule of the Qin State, many counties and counties were firmly in control of the central government. Talents were recruited and appointed to the central government."
"Its shortcoming? There is only one? It is dedicated to superiors. Since Duke Xiao, all the previous kings of the Qin Dynasty can be the British masters."
"Sure enough, what if a foolish lord appears in the Qin Kingdom in the future? Holding the heavy weapons of the country and having no control over his every move, it is like the imbalance of yin and yang in Taoism and goes to extremes."
"That result is even worse than the former."
There is only the most suitable, not the best.
Zhou Qing also nodded and smiled when he heard this.
You can choose between feudal state and unified county and county.
It doesn't matter who is better.
Over the years, Brother Wang chose to integrate counties and counties.
But the huge empire that followed chose to mix the two.
Even thousands of years later, these two systems still exist. Thousands of years later, these two systems still exist.
"Lord of Foolishness!"
"As long as it does not undermine Qin's self-contained rule of law, it should be fine."
Qin Wangzheng pondered for a few breaths.
What Brother Wang said is certainly reasonable.
The Lord of Foolishness?
No one can guarantee this!
As powerful as King Wuling of Zhao, he was a little careless in choosing his successor, which led to the Sand Dune Incident. He was unable to survive at the end of the year and was starved to death in the palace.
But...as long as Qin Fa is not touched, everything will run on its own.
"Sure enough, he is a fool, but he is not a fool of virtue."
"King You of the Great Zhou Dynasty easily lit the beacon fire to see the panic among the princes. That was an external manifestation."
Zhou Qing shook his head.
The failure of counties and counties lies exclusively with the superiors.
Losing the balance and restraint of Yin and Yang will lead to disaster.
The reason why the British Lord is the British Lord.
It is because he is able to act within the system of rules he has established, so everything operates in an orderly manner.
"You."
"Only you can say this to me in the temple."
"Based on your analysis, neither counties nor counties can last long."
"Taoism cultivates yin and yang. Could it be that, as some students from the Central Academy said, it should be mixed together?"
Qin Wangzheng pointed at his brother Wang with one finger.
Among the important officials in the Central Committee, there should be some who understand these words, but there are only a few who can say them in front of themselves.
Brother Wang, I am an exception.
Therefore, I like to discuss things with Brother Wang. Brother Wang can always give me different ideas and directions on many things.
From a Taoist perspective, there is no perfect system in the world.
Counties and counties are not perfect as a whole.
Feudal states were not perfect either.
Is it possible to integrate the two into one place?
"Mixing feudal and county?"
"Not advisable."
"Moreover, the real difference between feudalism and counties lies in the struggle for power. If we talk about a truly perfect order, it may only exist in what the founders and Confucius said."
"The superior virtue is not virtuous, because there is virtue. The superior virtue is done without action but without thought. The superior benevolence is done by it without thought. The superior righteousness is done by it but with thought."
"Being virtuous is not losing virtue; losing righteousness is followed by virtue; losing gain is followed by benevolence; losing benevolence is followed by righteousness; losing righteousness is followed by propriety."
"In Confucian terms, Gongyang is a unique book, but it's actually quite interesting. There are three generations of books in Gongyang."
"Looking at the chaotic situation in the various countries in the Spring and Autumn Period, what we see is called Zhao Ding Ai, and what we hear is called Wen Xuan Cheng Xiang, which can be said to be the troubled times of the Xia Dynasty."
"In addition, I have heard that in the world, there is peace and prosperity, and the Xia within and the barbarians outside can be said to be the time of peace."
"Also what I have heard and seen is that the rule of peace will be achieved, and the barbarians will advance to the lordship, and the world will be as big and small as one, and it may be possible to have a peaceful world."
"That is the future of Great Qin. Feudalism and prefectures are the means, and the king should make his own decision."
Choose one of the two!
It was difficult for Zhou Qing to decide.
You can deduce the most beautiful world, or you can talk about the best things about Zhuxia, but in the end the deduction is just a deduction.
Not really reality.
The current state of Qin is the reality.
It is a reality that the general trend is about to change.
The country is rich and the people are strong!
The country is peaceful and the people are safe!
Never fall!
This is the goal of the Qin State. Zhou Qing feels that it can be achieved no matter what means it adopts. The key lies in how to weigh it.
"This is the first time I have heard the words of the Third Generation of "Gongyang". I have read the book before, which confirms the words of Marquis Wu Zhen."
"It's also subtle."
"Some things... are difficult to do. The Taoist theory of superior virtue and the Confucian theory of great harmony are even more difficult."
"But Marquis Wu Zhen said something that I think is right. Feudalism and counties are just means. Maybe feudalism is the most suitable right now, and maybe counties are the most suitable."
"What is suitable for the present is the best. Sure enough, one day, if you are moral or not, then you will need something else."
Qin Wangzheng clapped his hands together and couldn't help but admire.
Wang Di is proficient in hundreds of schools of thought. In the past, he heard that Wang Di had a Confucian theory of internal sage and external learning in Jixia Academy, and he was impressed by the former head of Confucianism, Gong Duzi.
Now I am talking about the words of the third generation. I am afraid that even the Confucian scholars cannot understand that the two schools of thought also have something in common.
Brother Wang said so much, Qin Wangzheng understood what he meant.
Many things are constantly changing.
It is most appropriate to adopt the strategy that best suits the situation at hand.
And the strategy that best suits the current situation?
Maybe I have already thought of it a lot.
"How is the progress at the Central Academy?"
Continuing with the preface, Qin Wangzheng did not stop at the previous topic.
Brother Wang should have left Xianyang a month ago, but he stayed for a long time because of the Central Academy matter.
"Mostly fine."
"There is indeed something wrong with the reform and rectification of the Central Academy. The Xuegong Cheng is the one who issued the Xuegong Order."
A word from Zhou Qing.
The renovation of the Central Academy is already underway, and inspectors from all major government offices have also entered the major courtyards.
The specific division of functions is also clearly defined in regulations.
If you are unable to develop according to the pace of innovation, it is not your own fault, but the fault of Xuegong Ling and others.
"Hahaha, if it weren't for the existence of the Zhengshitang in Nanjun, I would really want to order you, Marquis Wuzhen, to go south."
"Ye Teng, this person has outstanding political talents, and I admire him very much."
"Well,... Zhengshitang, I feel that there will be such an administrative office in Xianyang in the future."
Qin Wangzheng laughed.
A few years ago, Brother Wang submitted a plan for integrating the four counties of Shu County, Ba County, Qianzhong County and Nan County.
Judging from the documents delivered every month, it is about to be successful.
The political affairs hall can alleviate a lot of tedious things for the king's brother.
Although it was very convenient for the king's brother, Qin Wangzheng didn't think he needed it.
But... I can't say for sure in the future. If the kings of the next generation are lazy like Wang Di, I'm sure there will be corresponding administrative agencies.
