Chapter 127: A combination of kindness and power, a clever plan!
Ying Zheng looked solemn and said:
"So you propose to implement rule by doing nothing."
"But as you said, land annexation is real."
"The court already knows about this. Now I can report the thoughts of the courtiers to the First Emperor. Knowing so many things, can't I take countermeasures against them?"
Qin Luoheng hesitated for a moment.
He shook his head and said:
"cannot."
"Now it is testing the determination of both parties."
"Who can't keep calm?"
"Who loses!"
"Now those who have gained immediately can't keep their composure, so they start to keep admonishing. Once the court starts to respond, no matter what response it is, the court will lose."
"Why?" Ying Zheng was puzzled.
Qin Luoheng sighed:
"Chief officials have been in high positions for too long."
"No matter how good a policy is, it depends on people to implement it."
"There are policies and measures to counter."
“The imperial court wanted to resolve the land annexation, but little did they know that local governments were waiting for policies from the imperial court.”
"No matter what policies are given by the higher authorities, whether big or small, good or bad, as long as they are not in line with the interests, local governments can misinterpret the policies and take advantage of the opportunity to coerce a large number of ignorant people to criticize the court's policies. Some places may even deliberately force rebellion.
In the head of Guizhou, the imperial court had to retreat."
"This is how I achieve my ulterior motives!"
"Governing a big country is like cooking small dishes."
"In the eyes of Taoists, when governing a country, one should not go over and over again, do not disturb the people at every turn, and do not mess around. Sometimes doing nothing can produce the best results."
"The more you do, the more flaws you make and the more mistakes you make."
"The Qin Dynasty only ruled the world for a few years. The court's control over the counties in Shandong was far from enough. Many local officials in Shandong were colluding with the remnants of the Six Kingdoms. It is basically unrealistic to expect them to implement policies honestly."
"All the court can do is wait and see what happens!"
Ying Zheng was indifferent.
Qin Luoheng was actually right.
The court's control over Shandong counties was indeed insufficient.
Otherwise, he would not have built a straight road, and he had repeatedly mobilized troops and troops to patrol the east and the north. Isn't it just to intimidate the world and make people everywhere not dare to act rashly?
but......
Is it really possible to do nothing?
Ying Zheng had doubts in his heart.
He said in a deep voice:
"As you said."
"The court can really wait and see what happens."
"And as time goes by, local laws will become more and more popular, but local families and powerful people will probably become more and more restless. What if they rebel?"
"The court has insufficient control over Shandong counties."
"If there is a rebellion in a certain place, other counties and counties in Shandong will definitely have their thoughts. When the time comes, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms will also rise up, and the world will soon fall into war again. Several generations of kings of the Qin Dynasty worked hard to govern, and then they were able to unify the world and let go
Doesn't it mean that all previous efforts have been wasted?"
"How can this be done?"
Qin Luoheng took a deep breath.
He said slowly:
"I do recommend doing nothing."
“But doing nothing doesn’t mean doing nothing.”
"If we continue to let things go unchecked, chaos will indeed arise in the place. This is obvious."
"Private ownership has been practiced in various parts of Shandong for hundreds of years. How can it be so easy to reform? The local resistance is extremely strong, and it is easy to cause duplication. If we want to really realize the reform, we can only carry out drastic reforms!"
"It's not easy to change the concept just by popularizing the law."
"Today, the land system in Da Qin is 'new', and the old land system in various parts of Shandong is 'old'. If you want to quickly replace the old with the new, you are destined to take the violent route."
"The people are simple and simple."
"It's easy to be bewitched by powerful people in the world."
"No matter what the court does, bloodshed is inevitable."
"In that case."
"Then the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain."
"Let the bloody lessons let the people know what the land system of Da Qin is like."
"What if the world rebels?" Ying Zheng asked.
Qin Luoheng said indifferently:
"Then sweep across the world again."
"Back then, the Six Kingdoms were still there, and Great Qin could still go east out of Han Valley and sweep across the world. Now there are only a few remnants of the Six Kingdoms left. What does Great Qin have to fear?"
"If the Qin Dynasty were to succeed within a few years, the army would be so corrupted that it would be unable to carry out important tasks."
"Then Great Qin must perish!"
Hearing Qin Luoheng's words, Ying Zheng also laughed.
The forehead said:
"Well said."
"Back then, when the six kingdoms united to attack Qin, Great Qin didn't even care. Now that there are only some remnants left, how can Great Qin be afraid?"
"If they dare to rebel, Da Qin will be destroyed!"
"If they dare to restore the country, Da Qin will dare to destroy it!"
"Big deal."
"Kill until there is no one left in the Six Kingdoms!"
Qin Luoheng's eyelids twitched.
Embarrassed:
"That's not the case."
"I just said it casually."
"My rule of inaction is actually planning and then taking action."
"As long as the court delays it long enough, there will be local powerful families who cannot bear it anymore. At that time, the court will just send county and county lieutenants to quell the rebellion. When quelling the rebellion, it will mainly target local powerful families.
"
"Qualifying chaos is not about killing people."
"But to get the deed from the family."
"The Lord Shang moved trees to establish trust back then. The court can follow the example of establishing trust among the people."
"Burn these deeds in public!"
"Then the government will re-distribute land to local Guizhou chiefs, and at the same time let judges and legal officials be present to preach the Qin land system, so that the policy of public land ownership will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people."
"Besides."
"Once the practice here is spread, it will definitely cause panic in other counties. As the saying goes, 'In troubled times, use heavy codes', but in my opinion, we should also 'give heavy rewards.'"
"The imperial court should reward the first county that puts an end to the chaos."
"The person who makes the first contribution should be directly promoted to the court!"
"When local turmoil occurs, the abilities of officials are best demonstrated."
"and......"
"This is also a big test for local officials!"
“Many officials in counties and counties in Shandong are both evil and evil.”
"On the one hand, they are the officials of Da Qin, and on the other hand, they are entangled with the remnants of the Six Kingdoms. This local turmoil is also forcing them to make a choice."
"Choose Qin!"
“It’s better to choose the Six Nations!”
Listening to Qin Luoheng's eloquent words, Ying Zheng's eyes revealed a strange color.
He had never thought that Qin Luoheng could think about this matter so thoroughly and deeply. It had only been half an hour since Qin Luoheng knew about this matter. But in such a short period of time, he not only saw that
I figured out the problem and thought of a solution.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! His focus is not on solving a problem.
But there are multiple questions.
Land, people's hearts, officials.
He has considered everything involved.
Extremely thorough and detailed consideration.
even.
He thought that he had never imagined that it would be so deep in a short period of time.
What surprised him even more was.
Qin Luoheng has never learned the art of intrigue, but his words and deeds are full of intrigue.
Killing powerful people to establish their authority, then burning them, and issuing deeds to the people to establish their trust.
This is obviously a combination of kindness and power!
Again.
By quelling local chaos, we tested whether officials were loyal to the imperial court, and at the same time tested the abilities of these officials. Officials with excellent abilities and loyalty to the Qin Dynasty were given promotions and titles.
This is undoubtedly a blessing.
Those officials who serve both sides of the coin, are both obedient and incompetent, and are incompetent should be abolished.
This is undoubtedly powerful.
Pulling and beating not only established the prestige of the court, but also gave local officials who were originally worried about their future the hope of promotion. This was of obvious benefit to Da Qin.
in addition.
Attacking the powerful local families will undoubtedly weaken the remnants of the Six Kingdoms.
To quell local chaos is not only to quell the turmoil of powerful families, but also to quell the chaos of the remnants of the six kingdoms.
Local officials had only two choices when they arrived, either to completely fall over to the Qin Dynasty and break away from the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, or to cause rebellion and completely fall over to the remnants of the Six Kingdoms.
besides.
There is no third option.
because......
The largest powerful family in the place is the remnants of the Six Kingdoms.
If local officials want to quell the chaos, they must attack the remnants of the Six Kingdoms. If they do not move the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, the local Guizhou leaders will cause trouble sooner or later. By then, it will be too late for them to try to cut them off.
This is the real big test.
Passed the exam.
Along the way, he rose to the rank of official.
Couldn't pass the exam.
He was dismissed on the spot.
If Qin Luoheng's idea is truly implemented, not only will the land issue be completely resolved, but also the problem of promotion and removal of former officials from the Six Kingdoms, as well as the rampant problem of the remaining evildoers of the Six Kingdoms.
This is true once and for all.
It benefits both the country and the people!
Ying Zheng nodded happily, then looked at Qin Luoheng and said curiously: "The measures you mentioned are all good. I will tell the First Emperor these ideas, but are you really the one who came up with these measures yourself?"
Qin Luoheng said proudly:
"That's natural."
"I have always believed that after the imperial government has established its policies, it should not be changed easily unless it is really necessary to change it. If it is really determined to change, then it should be done quickly and changed with lightning speed."
"National affairs are not child's play."
"Hesitation will only be counterproductive."
"But if it is really my personal thought, it is not necessarily true. The chief officials have also heard it before. What I said about establishing trust with the people comes from Lord Shang's move of trees to establish trust, and the burning of deeds comes from Lord Mengchang's burning of the deed market.
righteous."
"As for rewarding officials heavily."
"It comes from the fact that there must be brave men under heavy rewards."
"Although I have been familiar with Taoist classics in the past, I have also dabbled in hundreds of other schools of thought. I should be considered to be good at absorbing the theories of various schools, so as to "combine Confucianism and Mohism, combine names and methods, and understand all the Tao of hundreds of schools of thought."
"Gathering the learning of hundreds of schools of thought for my use."
“When it comes to major national affairs, I still believe in governing by doing nothing.”
"..."
Hear the words.
The smile on Ying Zheng's face gradually froze.
There was also a flash of unreasonable disgust in his eyes.
He had heard what Qin Luoheng said before from another person.
That man’s name is Lu Buwei!
Qin Luoheng didn't notice the change in Ying Zheng's expression, and showed off his erudition rather complacently. Ying Zheng didn't interrupt, but just listened quietly.
After listening.
He sat back on the recliner without changing his expression.
There were no more words after that.
Qin Luoheng just thought that Ying Zheng was tired and did not bother him. He just read the literacy textbook "Cangjie Chapter" and wrote down a few rare characters on the calligraphy slips from time to time.
soon.
It's time for dinner.
Qin Luoheng got up, went to the kitchen, and started making lunch.
At this time.
Ying Zheng opened his eyes, a cold look flashed in his eyes.
He recalled what Lu Buwei said when he recommended "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals".
Lu Buwei said:
"Lü's Spring and Autumn Annals collects the successes and failures of government in the world for more than 600 years. It unifies the theories of various schools of governance with the king's way, and takes righteous soldiers and lenient government as its two major axes. Its purpose is to alleviate the severe and urgent Qin Dynasty since the Shang Dynasty.
The law makes the country peaceful and the people prosperous."
"Illegal, not Mohist, not Confucian, and not Tao. It is also legal, not Mohist, not Confucian, and also Tao."
"It is not the theory of hundreds of schools of thought, but it is the collection of learning from hundreds of schools of thought."
