Chapter 230 On the Law

"Do you want to imitate Lord Shang and use law to strengthen the country?" Seeing a group of celebrities who seemed to have had their backs broken, Xue Ti felt something in his heart. He looked at Chu Nan and asked, what Chu Nan did was more towards severe punishment.

, there was no one around, so I couldn’t help but ask.

"Shang Yang's tricks were only useful at that time." Chu Nan shook his head. He had naturally read Shang Jun's book. Although it was only a fragment, he understood the general idea. When Xue Ti asked, he said casually:

"To say something disrespectful to the sages is not suitable for today's world."

"I would like to hear the details." Xue Ti said curiously.

"The purpose of 1min is to unify the minds of the people. Although this is helpful for the imperial court to rule the people, it also castrates the creativity of the people. Many things are created by the people. Although this move can greatly reduce the burden of governance in the short term,

But in the long run, if the people's thinking is restricted and they are not allowed to innovate, the world will lose its vitality. The people are actually like humanoid beasts. They only work hard but do not know how to create. If this continues, the world will be like a pool of stagnant water, without any possibility;

Secondly, a weak people, a strong country and a weak people are indeed more conducive to the stability of the court, but one thing is that your court must continue to be strong and strong, and if it becomes weak at all, it will be counterattacked!

Just like when Emperor Gaozu entered the country, he made the Qin people completely obedient by making a simple agreement of three chapters. Even the establishment of the Han Dynasty was due to Qin's laws. The people of Qin were accustomed to the weak people of Qin, and they could only bow and kneel to them, so that Emperor Gaozu

Given a little dignity and benefits, the people of Qin completely forgot about the Qin Dynasty. It is hard to imagine that after the capital of a country was occupied, the local people welcomed them without any resistance, and they did not miss the old master at all. This is what the weak people brought

The disadvantages are that no dynasty can remain strong forever;

Once again, the people are tired and busy running for their lives. When people are busy, they don't think about other things. Naturally, there are no more riots. But any place will be better off than under your rule. How can you still count on the people during the national crisis?

Willing to support?

The fourth humiliation of the people is actually letting the people live without dignity, choosing to accept the oppression from the upper-class scholar-bureaucrats, just like tired people. You don't think that a court that only humiliates the people can be supported by the people, right?

The last one is the poor. Don’t let the people have too much wealth in their hands. If people are poor, they will have short ambitions. Once these five skills are used, the whole country will be obedient to the people."

Speaking of this, Chu Nan paused, with a flash of disdain in his eyes: "This can greatly seize national power. While reducing the cost of governance, it can also greatly tap the people's power of the Qin State, giving the Qin State a very strong combat effectiveness, so

Qin was able to sweep across the six kingdoms under this set of laws. However, this set of laws was feasible in the land of Qin, but it could not be extended to the entire world. The people of Qin were accustomed to Qin's laws, and those who dared to resist would have been killed long ago; but the people of the six kingdoms

But they can't accept it, so they will naturally resist. They can still be suppressed when the First Emperor is still alive, but when the First Emperor is gone, who can suppress them?

So even if Hu Hai is not the one who takes over the world after the First Emperor disappears, Qin will not be able to survive for long if it cannot change."

This was the first time Xue Ti heard such a point of view. Although he had never heard of some words, it was not difficult to understand them when combined with the context.

"So, your Majesty is saying that Qin prospered due to the law and also died due to the law?" Xue Ti said with a smile.

"It was not due to law, but to power. Lord Shang's method was to seize the future of the Qin Dynasty in exchange for today's extremely strong power. However, when the world is unified, it is time to consider and start changing the system. After all, humans are not beasts.

When the beasts come to govern, it will be a matter of time before they suffer backlash. I don’t know if Lord Shang has the means to make subsequent changes. If he is prepared accordingly and can change in time, Qin will not die in two generations. But to do this, he must

Being an enemy of the scholar-bureaucrats is just like today's gentry. It is almost impossible to break through from the inside."

Chu Nan said regretfully: "It's a pity that the First Emperor disappeared, and no one can return to heaven except him. It is precisely because of this that the great Han Dynasty became what it is today."

"So you think it's time for the Han Dynasty to reform?" Xue Ti understood somewhat and looked at Chu Nan.

"Take Taishan County as an example. How much wealth does the people have in the hands of Taishan County?" Chu Nan said with a smile.

Xue Ti nodded. He had been the prefect of Taishan for several years. He knew better than anyone who held the wealth. From this point of view, it was indeed time for change. After all, there was only so much wealth, unless more could be created out of thin air.

Wealth, otherwise without change, even if dynasties change, the substantive issues will not be changed.

He roughly understood Chu Nan's thinking. It was not complicated, and the purpose was not to poison the world, but to rule it. He smiled bitterly and said: "It's just that your methods are too drastic."

"Any change means cutting off some people's bodies. I used to be a businessman. There is a saying here that cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents. You have to cut off people's bodies, and you also have to make people appreciate you.

It's a bit unreasonable." Chu Nan sighed: "Who wants to be a villain? But someone must take this road. If I don't take it today, our descendants may face even darker catastrophes in the future. It's better to

Just let me go."

"Everyone in the world knows that you are a butcher, but today you know that your ambition is extraordinary. I admire you!" Xue Ti said sincerely.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, Chu Nan's ambition is extraordinary and comparable, and when Xue Ti heard what Chu Nan said, he also felt that what Chu Nan said was quite reasonable.

Chu Nan glanced at Xue Ti, smiled and nodded, but felt a little emotional in his heart. If Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia, Xun Yu and others said this to him, he would have a greater sense of accomplishment.

In fact, he knew very well that he was not as great as others thought. If Liu Bei had accepted him, or Chen Deng and others had accepted him, nothing would have happened later.

After all, if you can eat on the table, who would lift the table without any trouble, right?

It's a pity that he didn't. Even after he voted for Lu Bu, he only had power, but in the eyes of those people, he still couldn't get on the table. Since you don't let me get on, then everyone else won't get on.

In short, the gentry rebellion in Fenggao ended like this, but the matter was not over yet. Chu Nan kept these people in order to earn money from Yuan Tan. He wanted to make friends with Yuan Tan, but he had no contact information.

Facts have proved that Chu Nan's guess was correct. Yuan Tan did take advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains to bring Mount Tai, Jiyin and other places under his rule. Therefore, as soon as the nobles here contacted him, they agreed without much hesitation.

.

Chu Nan blocked Fenggao and allowed these nobles to continue to communicate with Yuan Tan. At the same time, he ordered people to secretly investigate Yuan Tan's movements.

Yuan Tan has already sent troops, and as expected, the main force came from Xu Huang's jurisdiction, but his elite are preparing to win the county with the support of the nobles.

Chu Nan did not clean up the dormant nobles outside Fenggao. There was no need. He only used the Fenggao nobles to contact these nobles and secretly obtain information and Yuan Tan's march route.

On the third day of September, the nobles of Ying County secretly set a secret code with Yuan Tan, preparing to cooperate with Yuan Tan to occupy Ying County, and then use Ying County as the criterion to attack Fenggao.

In order to mobilize Lu Qian's army, he specially contacted the nobles of Mou County and arranged for troops to cause rebellion in order to divert Lu Qian's only mobile troops in southern Chu, and then prepared to open the city to welcome Yuan Tan into Ying County.

Chu Nan first pretended to let Lu Qian fall into the trap and went to Mou County. On the way, he asked Pei Yuanshao to lead some troops and horses with 3,000 men to go to Mou County. He then joined Lu Qian and returned to Mount Tai overnight, lying in wait for Yuan Tan's elite troops.

On the road that must be passed.

Mount Tai, the nameless valley, Yuan Tan led a thousand elites galloping through the valley.

"Lord!" Cen Bi looked at the dangerous terrain around him and came to Yuan Tan with some worry: "Is this move too risky? If it fails, the consequences will be disastrous, or just let the last general lead the troops to attack in a sneak attack. Why should the lord personally do it?"

Go out?"

Yuan Tan took the map handed over by Cen Bi, looked at it for a moment, shook his head and said: "General, look here, Chu Nan's troops are divided into two groups. The first group is led by Xu Huang, the surrendered general of Cao's army. Now they are confronting the general Zong Wang at Guishan.

In this area, the other group is led by the surrendered general Lu Qian. According to accurate information, it has now reached Mou County, and the garrison at Fenggao only has 200 people. Even with the bravery, there are only a thousand people."

"These more than a thousand brave men are just mere motivators, so I can ignore them. If you want, the Taishan nobles can support us and ten thousand people at any time. Therefore, the actual garrison of Fenggao is only two hundred, and there are still dissatisfied Chu in Fenggao city."

The martyrs of the Southern Violence are on the side. Our army's food and grass are provided by the prominent families in Mount Tai, and we also have internal support. Although there are only a thousand men, they are the key to victory. We will definitely capture Chu Nan in one fell swoop!"

Yuan Tan followed Yuan Shao to pacify Hebei and made many military exploits. He still had strategic vision. His troops were like daggers stabbing Chu Nan into his chest and abdomen. As long as he succeeded, Chu Nan would be defeated and Mount Tai would fall.

In his palm.

A few days ago, news came back from the north that his father had captured Yijing, which was built by Gongsun Zan, and would soon capture Youzhou. He needed enough credit to prove to his father that he was the best.

Originally, he wanted to take advantage of the conflict between Cao and Lu to get a piece of the pie, but he didn't expect that Cao Cao would be defeated so quickly. When he wanted to send troops to carve up the Central Plains, Chu Nan appeared in Mount Tai again. If he sent troops to the Central Plains, he would have to guard against Chu Nan himself.

When Taishan sent troops to attack Qingzhou, the Taishan nobles took the initiative to contact him and invited him to take charge of Taishan County. For Yuan Tan, this was naturally a great thing.

According to past experience, in a county, whichever side the nobles sided with would win. With Chu Nan's infamous reputation, he did not believe that the nobles would side with Chu Nan. It seemed reckless, but the attack on Mount Tai was carefully considered.

of.

"It was Chu Nan who was looking for his own death. When he came to Mount Tai, he didn't know how to show any favors, but only persecuted the nobles. This man is undefeated, and the law of heaven cannot tolerate him!" At the end of the sentence, Yuan Tan said with a proud smile.

As for why he personally led the troops, Yuan Tan had no choice. He only had two useful generals. One, Zong Wang, was leading the army to attract the main force of Chu Nan. The other, Cen Bi, was far less capable than Yuan Tan. What he wanted for this raid was

A quick word, if Cen Bi is allowed to lead the troops, Yuan Tan will be a little worried based on Chu Nan's record, so he can only come in person.
