Chapter 447: The Great Change
Great Wei Palace, the main hall. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The potter sat on top of it, eagle-eyed like a blade, quietly waiting for something.
A moment later, a scribe from the Jixian Pavilion stepped into the main hall and bowed at the feet of the potter.
"The person has arrived, system elf, wake up, and call up the four-dimensional data of Shang Yang for me." The potter looked at the scribe, but ordered with his mind.
"Tick...... Heroic Soul Shang Martingale data has been called up, Warring States politicians, reformers, representatives of legalism, commanders 80, armed forces 53, resourcefulness 90, politics 100, initial loyalty 25. ”
As expected, Shang Ying's political ability was indeed 100.
The famous Shang Ying, throughout the ages, no one knows, who does not know, the pottery merchant is familiar with history, and it is impossible not to know his brilliant achievements.
When he was young, Shang Ying was originally a person from the Wei State, but he was not reused by the mother country, and finally went west to the Qin State and defected to the famous Qin Xiaogong.
At that time, at the beginning of Qin Xiaogong's succession, Qin did not participate in the princes' alliance of eastern countries because it was located in the remote Yongzhou, and was regarded as Yidi by the eastern princes, let alone respected.
At that time, the Qin State was still weak, and was repeatedly bullied by the most powerful Wei State in the Central Plains.
During the more than ten years of Shang Ying's implementation of the reforms, the national strength of the Qin State increased by leaps and bounds, and it became the strongest country in the world, and then with its strong national strength, it began to attack the six eastern countries, and won many battles, and finally became the strongest existence in the Warring States.
Subsequently, although Shang Ying died, but its law was not destroyed, Qin State is relying on the foundation laid by Shang Ying's law, in order to become stronger and stronger, and finally through the struggle of the sixth monarch, Qin Shi Huang swept away the six countries and unified the world.
It is no exaggeration to say that Shang Yang is the most critical point for the six countries that Qin can unify, and if there is no Shang Marting, it is still unknown which country the world will eventually belong to.
The reason why the pottery merchant wanted to summon Shang Ying was to rely on his superb political talent and Legalist concept to carry out the second Shang Yang reform in the Great Wei Dynasty, liberate the Great Wei from the shackles of Confucianism, and re-turn it into a Legalist-led, rich country and strong army, so as to achieve his goal of dominating the world.
Although the potters did not remember the specific details of Shang Ying's reforms, they remembered that one of the main contents of his changes was to abolish the privileges of the nobility, and everyone was rewarded and appointed and dismissed according to their merits.
Although the Han system claims to have inherited the Qin system, it has already deteriorated after 400 years of wind and rain.
The reason is that the Han Dynasty pursued Confucianism, and all officials who were inspected must be proficient in a Confucian scripture before they can be qualified to be officials.
In order to be proficient in the Confucian classics, it is necessary to read a large number of Confucian works, in this era of prevalent bamboo slips, the price of books is expensive, and ordinary people can not guarantee three meals a day, and where do they get the spare money to study.
If you don't have the money to study, you naturally can't be proficient in Confucianism, and if you don't be proficient in Confucianism, you can't be an official, and even if you are an official, you're just a lower-level official.
Therefore, only those officials and wealthy families have the money and capital to study, to learn Confucianism, and after learning something, it is logical that they will be recruited by the state to become officials, and his descendants will naturally have the opportunity to read and study the scriptures, and then continue to be officials.
In this way, the generation of officials will be officials, and the common people can only serve the people for generations, and there will never be a day to rise except for rebellion.
A family name has been an official for generations, and it will inevitably rely on the power in his hands to grab a large amount of land for his family in the local area, so that this family has both power and money, and after several generations, it has formed the so-called family power.
Think about it, there are so many clans in the world, they marry each other, and gradually form an intertwined community of interests, they are represented in the court, local official positions are also occupied by them, and the family has a lot of wealth and private armies, such a powerful clan group, it is not easy to join hands and subvert a dynasty.
The potters are familiar with history and naturally know that in the past, Cao Pi was able to ascend to the throne with the support of these clans.
Decades later, the clans found the Sima clan who could better protect their interests, so they ruthlessly abandoned the Cao clan and supported the Sima clan Jin Dynasty to replace it.
The potters summoned Shang Ying and implemented the law change, which was to abandon Confucianism, break the foundation of the monopoly of official power for generations, and restore to the Qin State The era of Legalism governing the country by rewarding merit and awarding the title of Marquis with merit.
In other words, as soon as the Shang Dynasty reform is implemented, even if Confucius is resurrected, and the Four Books and Five Classics are memorized backwards, you will not want to be an official.
If you want to be an official or a marquis, you either want to join the army, kill more people on the battlefield, and exchange the credit for your head, or you can honestly go to farm, plant the land well, and contribute to the country, so you naturally have the opportunity to be an official.
Only in this way can the threat of the world be cut off, and the entire Great Wei Kingdom will become a war machine, and all the people will either rush to the battlefield to kill the enemy, or work hard to farm the land wholeheartedly, and no one will have to waste time to study the empty and boring and flashy principles of Confucianism.
"This system kindly reminds that Shang Ying is full of 100 heroic souls, and if you want to summon Shang Ying, the system will randomly bind and summon three heroic souls in all parts of the world, please consider carefully."
"Don't think about it, come on." Without hesitation, the potter stood up and walked over to the scribe, and pressed his hand above his head.
The implementation of the Shang Dynasty Reform Law cut off the threat of the world, so that the Great Wei embarked on the road of becoming rich and strong, laying the foundation for the Great Wei to sweep away the countries and unify the world, and it was worth binding the three heroic souls.
What's more, it is possible that these three heroic souls will be summoned in his ruling area.
"Tick...... The system is open as loaded with heroic souls, ten ...... Nine...... Eight ......"
After the countdown, the pottery merchant said solemnly: "This king knows that you are studying the Legalist and have a heart of change, this king will give you the name Shang Marting, and hope that you will be like Shang Marting, for the king to implement the law change in the Great Wei, enrich the country and strengthen the army, and help the king to dominate the world." ”
With that, the potter let go of his hand and motioned for him to be flat.
"The ministers and merchants will live up to the king's trust." Shang Ying stood up calmly, and looked up at the potter's gaze, which was full of courage and determination.
Left and right, Xiao He, Zhang Liang and other civil and military officials, when they heard that the pottery merchant was actually the scribe and gave the name of "Shang Ying", they were all shocked.
Xiao He said with even more meaningful emotion: "Shang Ying was born, it seems that the king is determined to eliminate the evils of the world, and a big change is imperative......"
"Tick...... The system is randomly summoned, the first place, Mao Dun, Xiongnu Shan Yu, Commander 96, Armed Forces 96, Gambit 61, Politics 63, Summoning Location, Saibei. ”
"Second place, Wu Han, the founding minister of the Eastern Han Dynasty, commander 81, armed force 71, resourcefulness 73, politics 74, summoning location, Yanzhou."
"Third place, Assassin Zhuzhu in the Spring and Autumn Period, 32 commanders, 81 in force, 61 in resourcefulness, 28 in politics, summoning place, Wu County."
The list of three random heroic souls has been called up by the system elves, and the potter can't help but be slightly moved when he sees this list.
Regardless of the two heroic souls of Zhuan Zhu and Wu Han, Mao Dun, the heroic soul, is really a great character.
This Mao Dun is the second Xiongnu Shan Yu, who killed his father Manshan Yu and stood on his own, claiming to be the first Xiongnu Shan Yu with great talent.
During the reign of this person, he defeated the Donghu, attacked the Yueshi in the west, invaded the Central Plains in the south, and served the Ding Ling, the salary plow, the refractive and other Hus in the north, expanding the land for thousands of miles, so that the Xiongnu rule reached its heyday.
This person's most famous masterpiece is to lead more than 300,000 Hun iron horsemen, the Han Gaozu Liu Bang besieged Pingcheng for seven days and seven nights, if it weren't for Chen Ping's plan, by bribing Mao Dun's wife, let Mao Dun let go of the corner of the siege, Liu Bang would be trapped in Pingcheng to death.
After this battle, Liu Bang was also completely frightened by Mao Dun, and he did not dare to attack the Xiongnu north again in his lifetime, so he could only rely on his relatives to sacrifice his daughter to slightly ease Mao Dun's ambition to invade the south.
And this pro-national policy was not broken until the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty relied on more than 70 years of national strength to accumulate national strength before it dared to launch a counterattack against the Xiongnu.
"This is a big and small hidden danger......
The potter was only slightly emotional, and his thoughts immediately returned to the change of the law, for the sake of today's plan, only by changing the law to make it strong, enriching the country and strengthening the army, so that the Great Wei unified the world is the top priority.
As for Mao Dun, even if it becomes a hidden danger in the future, it is a big deal to wipe it out, anyway, the pottery merchants have long had the intention of destroying the Huns, Xianbei, and Wuhuan who are entrenched outside the fortress, and in the future, the Great Wei will rule the world, and they will definitely use their knives.
The potter did not intend to leave any external hidden dangers to his Great Wei State, so as not to repeat the tragedy of the Wuhu Chaohua.
When the ministers were shocked and sighed, Tao Shang's thoughts had converged, he turned around and sat back on the throne, and said: "Shang Qing, about the implementation of the law change, enriching the country and strengthening the army, what do you think, just say it." ”
"No."
Shang Ying stood in the main hall, gushing endlessly, describing the blueprint of the change in his heart in detail.
The change of the law mentioned by Shang Ying is to clarify the law and implement heavy punishments for minor crimes.
As the saying goes, in troubled times, the more chaotic the world, the more severe punishment and strict laws must be adopted, which is a lesson since ancient times.
The second article is to abolish the so-called filial piety of the Han Dynasty, instead reward military merits, and re-implement the Qin 20-rank lord system of rewarding according to military merits.
The third is to clear the household registers, liberate the tenants in the hands of those clans, and incorporate them into the state household, emphasize agriculture and suppress commerce, reward cultivation and weaving, reward the cultivation of wasteland, and exempt families who produce more grain and cloth from labor and taxes.
This fourth article is to list the doctrine of Legalism, together with the doctrine of Confucianism, as a national study.
The pottery merchants originally wanted to directly abolish the status of Confucianism as a national study, but considering that the power of the world was still strong, these famous people of the world had relied on Confucianism all their lives to eat, and suddenly smashed their rice bowls, which was easy to arouse strong resistance.
Therefore, the potters decided to adopt the strategy of boiling frogs in warm water, first elevating the Legalist doctrine to an equal position with Confucianism, and then slowly abolishing Confucianism.
Shang Ying's way of changing the law won the hearts of the pottery merchants, and he immediately took the case, waved his hand and said happily: "Very good, pass on the edict of the king, according to what you said, I will implement the Shang Martingale reform from now on!" ”
