Hu Hai gave Ying Zhen, who was standing in the crowd, an encouraging look, and said. He glanced around at the clan members who had calmed down again, and continued: "A clan of gods! You know this is the first time I heard that the people of Guanzhong treated the Ying clan.
How does it feel to be called such a person?"
You could hear needles dropping in front of the ancestral temple square. Only Ying Zhen, who was staring at Hu Hai on the steps without blinking, showed a thoughtful look on his face after hearing Hu Hai's words.
"Heavy. The weight is as if Mount Tai is pressing down on my shoulders. Do you understand?" Hu Hai said loudly, looking at the more than a thousand clan members in the ancestral temple square.
There was still silence in front of the ancestral temple square, and most of the clan members looked at the young emperor on the steps with blank faces. Hu Hai couldn't help but feel slightly embarrassed.
"The Clan of Gods, the people in Guanzhong call my Ying clan this way. Now even people in Shandong, Jiangnan, Jiangbei and other places have spread the word. Each of you is a member of the Ying clan, and what flows in your body is my Ying clan.
The bloodline of the Ying clan. Due to various chances and coincidences, the people of Guanzhong placed the four heavy words "Clan of Gods" on the heads of our Ying clan. Now it has spread throughout the Great Qin and is known to all people in the world.
These four words are praise, awe, and trust. But they are also an encouragement to our Ying clan. Don’t you feel that the weight of these four words is heavier than Mount Tai?
Go out and don't stay in Xianyang anymore. The reputation of the clan of gods can never be convinced by all the people in the world just by me alone. It is possible to spread it by word of mouth, but if it cannot enter the hearts of the people, everything will be like floating clouds in the sky."
Hearing the emperor telling them not to stay in Xianyang anymore, the clan members of the Ying family in the ancestral temple square instantly made a noise. Apparently they thought the emperor was going to drive them all out of Xianyang.
"Hmph!" Ying Teng snorted slightly, and the noisy Da Qin clan in the square gradually became quiet again.
As Zong Zheng, Ying Teng's prestige in the clan is naturally unparalleled.
"I don't want to drive all the clans out of Xianyang. I just want you to go out on behalf of me and the Ying clan. Walk around the world as a small official or a soldier, and truly make something worthy of the four characters of a clan of gods for all people in the world.
Things come up.
I will take good care of your parents, your children, and your children. The Ministry of Household Affairs will specially increase the clan salary in the near future. I will let you have no worries."
In the pre-Qin era, if you want to enlighten the people's wisdom, it is tantamount to playing the harp. The establishment of people's governance requires the development of hundreds of years or even thousands of people. This requires letting nature take its course, rather than relying on oneself to forcibly promote a republic or an election.
Promoting education that benefits people across the country is just the beginning.
As long as the empire is stable, then leaving the seeds and letting them grow into towering trees naturally is the most scientific approach. The premise is that the empire needs to be stable.
To maintain the rule of the empire, relying on high pressure from the state's coercive machinery is never a long-term solution.
In the Pre-Qin Dynasty, when the theory of ghosts and gods was prevalent, and in an era when the divine right of kings was advocated, it was obviously feasible to establish a religion that served the empire. Even in later generations, various teachings are still believed by countless people in the world.
Hu Hai did want to establish a religion at first, but in the process of vigorously promoting religion in the empire, it would take a long time and would breed some possible hidden dangers.
The integration of politics and religion rarely leads to a long-lasting empire. When the power of religion reaches a certain level, the religion will think about how to control the empire and how to attract more believers.
At that time, religion will not only no longer be a tool for the long-term stability of the Qin Dynasty, but will also become the seducer of the Qin Dynasty's downfall.
However, when the Longwei Mansion placed the news on Hu Hai's desk that the people in Guanzhong and even people in Shandong and other places had placed the four words "Clan of Gods" on the heads of the Ying family due to various coincidences, a brand new idea came to Hu Hai's desk for no reason.
It appeared in Hu Hai's brain, grew rapidly, and then gradually took shape.
Why build a religion again? Why ask for trouble? Just start with the reputation of the Clan of Gods among the people. Let the Clan of Gods be completely rooted in the hearts of every common people in Da Qin. This is much easier and safer than religion.
Much.
With the old Qin people's belief in the Ying family, and with their current reputation and the four words "Clan of Gods" that have been assigned, they only need to continue to operate. In such a short period of one or two generations, the Ying family
The reputation of the "Clan of Gods" will spread throughout the Qin Dynasty and be deeply imprinted in the hearts of all people in the world.
Even if the world changes hands in the future, at least the bloodline of the Ying family will not be cut off. However, as long as the reputation of the God family is established, the possibility of the world changing hands is really slim.
Using the royal family to establish the common people's sense of identity and belonging to Da Qin is the best thing for today's Da Qin.
Naturally, Hu Hai set his sights on the many clan members who had been doing nothing in Xianyang.
Everyone in these clans is educated, can read, and can write. However, with the recent official reform of the Qin Dynasty, every county in the world will need countless officials, and even the postmen on the several roads out of the customs will not be replaced.
All over the world, these places are the places where we can best understand the sufferings of people's livelihood.
The descendants of the clan changed their names and entered the grassroots level of Da Qin. As long as they are controlled properly and sincerely do practical things for the people, if things go on like this, the reputation of the clan of gods will soon enter the hearts of the people.
Because these children of the royal family are not only members of the royal family, they also represent His Majesty the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty. It was His Majesty the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty who asked them to give up their luxurious life. At least in the eyes of ordinary people, the life of the children of the royal family is luxurious, right? Those who travel across mountains and rivers
Came to remote villages.
Of course, relying on the clan members alone is not enough, Hu Hai himself is the biggest and best sign.
At this point, basically all the clans understood what the emperor meant. The emperor did not want to drive them out of Xianyang, but asked them to supervise the officials of Qin Dynasty on behalf of the emperor's will and understand the sufferings of the people.
"With the reform of the official system of the Qin Dynasty, many officials will be vacant in every county. Each of you can read and write, go ahead. I will say hello to the officials. You will not have high positions or even return to Xianyang after leaving Xianyang.
With the name of a clan, it is possible that he is just a wandering, stingy, and well-ranked person (these three positions are the lowest township-level officials in Da Qin). But you must remember that you have the blood of the Ying clan in your body, which represents
It represents the royal family and me.
Look more at the sufferings of the people. The Longwei Mansion in each county will help me look after you. When you arrive, they will naturally look for you. You can also directly report the sufferings of the people to me through them." (To be continued)
