Chapter 448: Polemic III
As soon as the topic of "The Book of the First Emperor" came out, the vast majority of people suddenly came to the spirit, and everyone was curious about this legend, how great was Qin Shi Huang, who could leave the Book of Heaven that had been passed down for thousands of years to guide His Majesty the successive emperors?
And His Majesty the Emperor is watching the live broadcast now, and he is also frowning at the question of Ying Feng saying the "Book of the First Emperor", is this trying to pass the test through the Book of the First Emperor? No, Xiao Si'er will not be so insignificant, once he says it, then it means that it is not the previous emperors who are excellent, but the blessings of Qin Shi Huang are long.
Ying Feng continued: "Actually, there are yes, and there are no!" His words made everyone not quite understand. "The ancestors did leave a lot of things, but it was a thought, an emperor's thought, how to become a good monarch, an emperor!"
"I don't know what the four princes say about what this has to do with the current polemic?" Kong Xuewen was not very satisfied, after all, Qin Shi Huang's prestige was too strong, and Ying Feng introduced his topic, so it was very likely to win the support of the general public, which was not good for his arguments.
"Naturally, it is related, Mr. Kong, isn't your favorite thing in Confucianism to study the preferences of emperors? I'll say it now, so that you can see what an emperor is!" Ying Feng said sarcastically.
Everyone knows the problems of Confucianism, their own doctrine is actually relatively vague, in the guiding ideology and people's behavior, it stands to reason that this is a doctrine that the emperor should like, after all, he can know the people and make them loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. It's a pity that there is no place for it in the Great Qin Empire, and it is also a simple theory for people to be good, and it is not important to say that it is important.
Kong Xuewen's face was not good-looking, but in the end he didn't speak again, but listened quietly.
Ying Feng continued: "Since the establishment of the Great Qin Empire, the most important thing is the ordinary people, this is the foundation of a country, no matter what it is, it does not leave people, especially the people, they are combined together to be a country, whether it is a country or a family, it is composed of people. ”
"So in the past, under the bottom of the productive forces, then the most important thing for people is the land, and as an emperor, if you want to have long-term peace and stability, you must ensure that the people have enough land, can be fed, clothed, and warm, so the country is naturally stable. This is the essence of what the ancestors taught to the emperors, and the emperors of the past did the same, whether it is the royal family, meritorious service, ministers, their existence does not have a direct output, but it is indispensable, so what should I do?"
"Restricting their rights, the royal family not only restricts merit and ministers, but also restricts themselves, the royal family is born with a title, but if it is a long time, there must be too many people, so this is why there is a disconnection order. It may seem unkind, but this is what the royal family must do, otherwise too many royal family members will become a huge burden on the empire, and the burden will be on the people. ”
"Therefore, as a royal family, it is necessary to sacrifice, and those who have no important contributions are demoted in turn, and finally become commoners, so as to ensure that the number of members of the royal family is not large, and women who marry children cannot inherit titles and surnames. ”
This kind of decree also made the Win clan understand their situation, so they engaged in commercial activities to ensure that their descendants could continue and live a better life, and maintained the vitality of the Win clan instead of becoming a moth to the country. ”
Ying Feng's words completely analyzed the sacrifice of the royal family, which made the audience very satisfied, although this behavior is very clear and clear, but no one really took it out to say, after all, the power of the royal family was too great in the past, no one dared to talk about it, of course, some people used this to criticize the royal family, but they all died!
The audience in front of the TV nodded one after another, this is their royal family, for the development of the empire, there is a move to break off relatives, you must know that in the Great Qin Empire, the entire integrated Huaxia clan attaches importance to family affection, and the royal family is capable of doing so!
"The second is the land, in the past, the productivity was low, and our Huaxia people attach importance to inheritance, they all like to have boys, in the case of peace, the population is developing rapidly, the original land of the six countries is naturally not enough, the emperors of the past dynasties are not warlike, but to fight for the soil for the people, so there are hundreds of years of foreign war. ”
"It wasn't until the vast territory that this time stopped, and then all the ethnic groups were merged into one Huaxia tribe, increasing internal unity, and there was no such thing as the first person, that the Great Qin Empire was peaceful and free of contradictions. ”
"Then came the Great Migration, where the population was concentrated in one place and there were vast areas of land that were uncultivated, which was not conducive to the development of the empire. Then the population began to be divided, and at the same time, the population in remote areas was relocated and concentrated, and there was no contradiction between diversion and migration, and the people also got a large amount of arable land. The increase in grain production, the concentration of the population is convenient for management, and the construction of infrastructure, especially the construction of roads in the past, is conducive to the recruitment and training of the country's troops!"
"Then there is the cultural aspect, during the Warring States Period, because of the special environment, the Seven Kingdoms stood side by side, and various doctrines were constantly emerging, so it was natural for them to appear, and the Great Qin Empire received all the doctrines and let them do their jobs. ”
"Take the essence and get rid of the dross, this is the idea of the emperors, and they will not let you become a monopoly, why? Once a family is dominant, all the officials are from the doctrine of the faction, no matter what the faction is, then in the end it will evolve into them to empty the imperial power, and there is no one to govern in the country, this is terrible!"
"The royal family surrendered its rights during World War II and bore the consequences of returning its troops to the colonies, but why did they return the colonies? Because they are different from us, they look different, their cultures are different, their ideas are also different, and the empire does not have the possibility of long-term occupation, and the consequence is that it will be in war for a long time, which is not good for the development of the empire, and at the same time it is not good for the development of mankind!"
"Facts have proved that the decision of the royal family is right, and in the high-speed period of modern scientific and technological development, a person's decision is no longer suitable for the times, which is the fundamental reason why the royal family handed over the right, and at the same time retains the right to supervise officials, and the officials, the people have formed a triangular relationship, to ensure the continued stability of the country, this is the fundamental reason, not to say that the book of heaven is gone, the royal family is not good, as long as the royal family guarantees the interests of the people, then there is no problem, but for more rapid development!"
"So what do you need for development now?" Ying Feng asked, and then took out the props he had prepared, 10,000 Chinese coins were stacked and placed directly on the coffee table, as well as a book, side by side.
