Xuanwu said sternly: "Yes, the power of the Qin State lies in its ability to impose the system, the will of the king, and the word "violent Qin" on every ordinary person, and help them realize this management model.
, those veterans and meritorious soldiers who returned home from the army. These people learned the management system in the army. Even if they are illiterate after returning home, as long as they are taught what they need to do and learn the annual laws and regulations, they can
We can go back to effectively manage each household, and the Baojia and Sitting system makes it impossible to act in a shady manner and to evade the imperial court."
"The civil titles of the Qin State cannot be passed down to descendants, and are deprived of them after death. Therefore, once these grassroots officials in the Qin State die, their titles will no longer be passed down, and their descendants will have to start from scratch and become ordinary
People, this is what Shang Yang said about making the people have no surplus wealth. Once the officials at the grassroots level cannot complete the accumulation of wealth, it means that all the officials at the grassroots level can only be attached to the country and obey the will of the king. They dare not
If you don’t do your best, you won’t dare to deceive your superiors or subordinates, and turn your village into your own territory.”
Suzaku gritted his teeth and said: "So, the hand of Bao Qin, named Military Merit Lord, gives everyone hope of advancement, but in fact, all the land, resources, and power in the world only fall into the hands of King Qin. Dufu
Below, they are just slaves. The so-called hope of living a good life is just to kill the enemy on the battlefield and narrowly escape death in exchange for a minor official such as a village chief or a township chief, and then use this little power.
, regarded it as a treasure, crazily bullied others in office, and used the country and the name of the King of Qin to squeeze the people of the same village and fellow countrymen. To satisfy this perverted desire for control and management."
Qinglong said coldly: "Yes, in this world, if you can have enough food and clothing, and no worries about food and clothing, then what people pursue is actually power. What is power? That is to instruct people, manage people, and control people.
, or even determine their life or death, forcing them to submit to their own abilities. We have always been aloof, well-clothed and well-fed, and we cannot understand the feeling of the people below who are forced to submit to others in order to survive. We also understand
I don’t understand how those humble officials who only have jurisdiction over a village or a pavilion can use this little power in their hands to force the people of the entire village and township to submit to him."
"But the State of Qin, or Shang Yang who formulated this system, was very aware of the living conditions of the lower class people. Although he was a nobleman, his family was of modest means. He was born in the countryside and suffered all the hardships of the world. He knew very well what was happening to these lower class people.
For example, the village chief, Li Zheng, was the local emperor who could take away their wealth and lives, so he used the official positions that were hereditarily occupied by the local powerful nobles to stimulate the people of the entire Qin State and lure them to do something for them.
After obtaining these powers, they abandoned farming and joined the army, using the heads and blood of their enemies in exchange for the little power in their hands. Once they had the power, they could run rampant in the countryside and bully men and women."
Baihu laughed: "But it turns out that those who run rampant in the countryside and bully men and women are also the lower-class scholars who hold hereditary official positions. They have been officials for generations, monopolizing the countryside, and have long lived the life of a local emperor. With these people returning to their hometowns
A veteran, what’s the difference?”
Qinglong laughed: "The difference? The difference is huge. Scholars have been officials for generations and have lived in the countryside for a long time. Anyway, this power belongs to themselves and their descendants for generations, so there is no need to look too ugly. But what about Qin officials? They are just veterans.
, after accumulating military merit, one can get the position of village official, and often reach the age when they can no longer fight. This power is given by the state and is given by the King of Qin. Maybe in the next war, someone will replace him. How can it be like the power of the gentry, which lasts from generation to generation?
What about occupying it?”
"The so-called power becomes useless when it expires. These people not only want to exercise their power during their tenure as officials and satisfy the pleasure of managing and controlling a village, but they are also afraid that they will be punished by their superiors for not doing things well, and losing this power or even losing their lives, so they do things
It will only become a bengali. If the superior wants to collect one stone of grain tax, he will collect two or three more to show his ability. If the superior wants to draw three dings, he will collect four. In this way, he will increase the amount layer by layer.
Through exploitation, these Qin officials have become the most loyal and fierce guard dogs, and they have also become the joints and components used to maintain the operation of Qin's terrible war machine."
"So to put it bluntly, the King of Qin relied on Shang Yang's inhumane system to make the entire Qin people completely his slaves, for the pitiful hope of serving as a low-level official for only a few to more than ten years.
, served as soldiers and killed people, returned to their hometowns to manage people, and the whole people worked like cattle and horses. They either died on the battlefield, or were so tired that they vomited blood. In the end, the family had no money left, and basically all the output went into the treasury. As the Qin State continued to launch wars
, occupy more territory, and let more people in the world become the capital of this kind of Qin slaves."
Suzaku said solemnly: "Lord Qinglong said it so well. This method of military farming and warfare is the greatest tyranny in the world throughout the ages. The blood, sweat and tears of countless people of Qin and the Six Kingdoms have only made King Qin famous.
A single-minded thief can kill everyone in the world at will. This imperial power is too great to control. Once a tyrant appears, who is extravagant and extravagant, just for personal enjoyment, or who is very happy with his achievements and constantly goes to war, the people of the world will be in dire straits. Such tyrants will disappear.
The nobles will do whatever they want without the restraints of aristocratic families. The establishment and existence of our Black Hand Universe is to prevent such a thing from happening!"
Xuanwu breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Bai Hu, and said: "Now, our Jin Dynasty seems to have another Shang Yang. Liu Yu, under the banner of asking for orders for the people and the Northern Expedition for the country, wants to teach the soldiers in the army
Literary literacy is the most critical step in evacuating the gentry. Once these people are able to return to their hometowns as officials and effectively control the grassroots, then Liu Yu will no longer need us. Back then, Shang Yang’s reform was to let Qin
The country can effectively govern the village without relying on the gentry. It is to let the Qin army apply the methods learned in the military school to the people. Liu Yu is even more ruthless and directly makes Qiu Ba literate. If this plan succeeds, there will be a way for the children of our aristocratic families to survive in the future.
?”
Bai Hu smiled slightly: "Then Master Xuanwu thinks there is any way to restrict this policy? Liu Yu used a conspiracy. He wanted the Qiu Ba people to be literate in order to understand military orders, learn the art of war, and write family letters by themselves. Educated people
The army is the one with fighting power, how can we refute this?"
Qinglong sneered and said: "I have a plan, or a slogan, that can be used to oppose Liu Yu's move, that is, the more knowledge you have, the more you will be afraid of death!" (End of Chapter)
