Chapter 267: Li Si and the Three Princes and Nine Qing Systems
Speaking of the official position system, a person suddenly appeared in Zhao Kuo's mind.
Reese.
He knew how much the young man who followed Xunzi's side would achieve in the future, however, this young man was not good at talking, he was always quiet on weekdays, and he was good at listening, Zhao Kuo also chatted with this young man, and he found that Li Si had a lot of things similar to Han Fei, both of them attached great importance to the legal system, and they both didn't like to talk, and the speed of absorbing knowledge was very fast, and their heads were very flexible.
But in fact, Li Si and Han Fei are completely different. When Han Fei listens to the words of others, he always thinks in his heart, why. This gave him the perseverance to continue to explore, and he tried to use the legal system to explain the rise and fall of society, and he explained the essence of the legal system and determined the definition. And what Li Si might have thought of was, how to do it. Therefore, he attaches more importance to the practical role of the legal system and is more inclined to practice.
Zhao Kuo felt that this young man would definitely be able to help him.
When he went to find Li Si, Li Si was sandwiched between Xunzi and Gongsun Long, unable to get out, in a short period of time, Xunzi made great contributions to Confucianism, he through the debate of Gongsun Long, formulated a set of logical conclusions belonging to Confucianism, Xunzi is the most despised, he has always thought that the doctrine of the famous family has no use, can not be used to help the world and the people, but after the real debate with Gongsun Long, Xunzi still found the merits of the master.
His evaluation of famous artists is also different from before, and famous artists are not without half a role, but a useless school with only a little effect.
And Gongsun Long also improved the theory of the famous family, the theory of the famous family in logic, philosophy and other aspects of outstanding contributions, but he is indeed as Xunzi said, there is no specific political proposition, the political proposition of the famous family is only to stop the war, no thick to respect this kind, this can only be said to be an advocacy, not a policy of governing the country, Gongsun Long through his own debate with everyone during this period of time, on the basis of stopping the war, put forward a break with the people, curb the private property of nobles and officials? political propositions such as lightly dispensing with thin endowments.
This made the famous master a school that could be reused by the princes.
How much have the two benefited? Of course, Li Si has gained a lot? Although he disagrees with the views of both of them. When Zhao Kuo arrived? Xunzi is fighting with Gongsun Long? didn't even see Zhao Kuo coming, Li Si hurriedly stepped forward? Meet Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo smiled and looked at Xunzi and the two? The two are starting a debate according to the virtue of the king, Xunzi thinks? The morality of a king lies in what he says, what he does.
But Gongsun Long thinks that the morality of the king lies in his last political achievement? Well done, make the country strong is Mingjun? If you don't do anything, he's a faint king.
Lees stood aside and listened quietly.
"I'm here to find you."? Zhao Kuo suddenly spoke.
Li Si was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhao Kuo? Then he asked, "I don't know what you command?" ”
"It seems that they will have to debate for a long time, so let's go to me."
When Zhao Kuo took Li Si to his courtyard, the guests looked at Li Si with some surprise, and then asked, "Where is Xunzi?" Zhao Kuo said with a smile: "I was looking for Li Si to have something, Xunzi didn't come with me." Everyone was even more surprised, looking at the young man in front of them, these people knew Li Si completely because he was a disciple of Xunzi, Li Si had never participated in debates, he was always listening on weekdays, and everyone didn't know his talent.
Zhao Kuo sat in the courtyard with Li Si, and then took out a thick bamboo slip from his side and put it in front of him.
"You see... This is the official system that I have sorted out, and it has not yet taken shape...", Zhao Kuo didn't say much, he directly handed the bamboo slips to Li Si, Li Si was still a little confused, he didn't know what Zhao Kuo was doing to show him this, but he still opened the bamboo slips and looked at them seriously. Zhao Kuo sorted out two sets of official systems, the first set is called "Three Princes and Nine Secretaries System", this system looks very detailed, but Li Si looked at it and found many of its shortcomings.
Lees didn't speak, and he continued to read.
followed by the three provinces and six ministries system, it seems that the division of official positions is much more detailed than the first set, Li Si looked at it seriously, without saying a word, Zhao Kuo did not bother him, the two were watching, Han Fei suddenly walked in with Zhao Zheng, and was about to say something, when he saw Zhao Kuo and Li Si looking at the bamboo slips, he didn't speak, but just told Zhao Zheng to play elsewhere, and he also sat aside.
Li Si looked at it for a long time, then put down the bamboo slip, and he said with a smile: "Wu Chengjun is a real talent, and these two systems are very perfect, which is really admirable." As he spoke, he got up and bowed to Zhao Kuo again, and said, "Such a detailed system can be implemented in the Qin State." ”
Han Fei glanced at him disdainfully, shook his head, Zhao Kuo sighed, and asked Li Si to sit down again, and then said: "The reason why I called you here is because these two systems are not detailed enough and not perfect enough, and I want to ask you to help me." Li Si was a little frightened, hurriedly got up, and said: "You are recognized as a virtuous person in the world, I am a talented person, how can I help you?" ”
"It's not that I don't want to help, it's just that I'm not a shallow learner, I can't help, and I can't see the shortcomings of this system, in my opinion, this system can be implemented completely."
Han Fei no longer looked at him, looked at Zhao Kuo and said, "Teacher... I still think that the first system is more feasible, but the second system requires too many officials, and complicating simple things will not only slow down the efficiency of administration, but also cause the state to spend a lot of money to support officials, which is not good for the country! Zhao Kuo still looked at Li Si in front of him, his heart full of entanglement.
Could it be that today's Li Si has not grown to the point where he later became?
Isn't this the one he made up?
Zhao Kuo thought for a moment before he said to Li Si: "Xunzi once told me that you are his most proud disciple, and no one is your opponent in handling state affairs and formulating rules and regulations... Is there really no way you can help me? ”
Li Si looked at Han Fei on the side, and then at Zhao Kuo, then lowered his head and said, "I don't dare to correct your shortcomings, but I also have some opinions of my own." Zhao Kuo was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Please say it." ”
"You see, the third prince is the prime minister, the imperial history, the captain... You have explained their responsibilities in detail, but can you be more detailed about the position of the officials? You said that the duty of the lieutenant is to be in charge of the military affairs of the Quartet, and to stand at the front of the temple at the end of the year... But his subordinates... Do you only give a long history? Of course, there is a long history to help him, which is also okay, but since the Taiwei is in charge of military affairs, he needs a lieutenant Cao, who is responsible for the transfer and relocation of the soldiers..."
"A Fa Cao is in charge of the post department...."
"I think the Taiwei needs at least twenty Peng Shi, more than 20 Ling Shi... They can be officials of the hundred stones. ”
"Naturally, the prime minister needs more... It takes one person to have a long history, thirty people to belong to Peng, and thirty people to make history and royal subordinates also have to have thirty people... You see, the record papers, the recitals, the recitals... There need to be enough officials to help..."
Li Si said very carefully, he has a very high sense of vigilance, probably because he used to be a low-level official, so that he did not dare to treat others as "arrogantly" as Han Fei, when he faced others other than Xunzi, he would never say anything wrong, nor would he easily offend the powerful, probably because of the same character, Lu Buwei liked this young man very much.
Zhao Kuo laughed and said, "Si! Write it down! Write it down! ”
Han Fei had already prepared bamboo slips and pens, Li Si took them from his hands, and then began to write, Zhao Kuo and Han Fei came together to see, Li Si wrote very quickly, without the slightest hesitation, he wrote: "Fengchang, one person, two thousand stones, palm ritual sacrifice, each sacrifice, first play its etiquette, and act, often praise the king, every election doctor." The main shooting, pension, and funeral all play its rituals. ”
"It belongs to one person, 600 stones, and is in charge of all the rituals and sacrifices, and the General Administration of Cao Affairs, and its Cao Peng History, and the accompanying affairs are members."
"Below: Taishi Ling is a person, in charge of the sky ephemeris, where the years are coming to an end, play the new calendar... Set up a Tai Zhu Order, where the country sacrifices, palm reading blessings and welcome the gods... Dazai ordered one person, and he was in charge of the things that were used by the craftsmen... Da Le Ling is one person, and he is in charge of music...", Han Fei's eyes finally widened, he raised his head in surprise, and looked at Li Si in front of him, Li Si wrote very seriously, from the officials of various departments, to their subordinates, to the subordinates of the subordinates...
Li Si was very serious, and occasionally thought about it, looked through Zhao Kuo's bamboo slips, and then quickly picked up the pen and wrote.
Li Si was very thoughtful, and he was busy until the evening, and the sky gradually darkened, so he stopped writing, but he hadn't finished writing, Zhao Kuo was very happy, and immediately arranged a meal for him, and ate together, so he continued to discuss the compiled official system, Zhao Kuo has some new views, such as in health, education, commerce, etc., whether it is also possible to set up officials?
These gave Li Si a very good inspiration, and Han Fei also helped him revise, at this time, Han Fei found out that Li Si was strikingly similar to himself in some ideas, which made Han Fei very happy, he finally found a like-minded friend, Li Si had long understood this, however, he treated Han Fei a little coldly. In the following days, the three of them basically stayed at home, perfecting these official positions all day long.
Even Xunzi and Gongsun Long heard about this and came to them.
Li Si has an amazing talent in this area, he according to the national conditions and needs of the Qin State today, Zhao Kuo's original three princes and nine secretaries system was modified, from the central official position to the local official position, Li Si did not let go, Zhao Kuo looked at the thick bamboo slips written by Li Si, and then understood that what he originally thought was still a little simple, take the internal history as an example, the internal history he originally formulated was the official in charge of money, and divided ten subordinate officials to help him.
Li Si arranged an internal history cheng, an internal history department cheng, the taicang order, the leveling order, the guide order and other subordinate officials, as well as the cheng, shi arranged for each of these officials. The areas under their jurisdiction are different. The details of the content made Zhao Kuo ashamed. There are also the respective salaries of these people, and Li Si is also well arranged. The three of them continued to negotiate and change, and Zhao Kuo took them to visit the various administrative departments of the Qin State.
King Qin has an order: No one is allowed to stop Wu Chengjun, and Wu Chengjun will let him watch whatever he wants.
After conducting on-the-spot investigations, they also found the deficiencies and vacancies of this system, and after a full four months, they finally completed the improvement of the system of three princes and nine secretaries, or rather, they combined the three princes and nine secretaries with the three provinces and six ministries to form a new system. The purpose of the system is clear, to improve administrative efficiency, to allow the state to better function, and to have more comprehensive control over all aspects of the country.
When Zhao Kuo led Li Si and Han Fei into the palace and put this system in front of King Qin, King Qin trembled. He looked at the system that Zhao Kuo came up with, and his gaze at Zhao Kuo was even hotter.
"Okay... All right.. Seeing your system, the widow understands how simple the control of the Qin State is now...", the King of Qin wanted to reward Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo originally wanted to resign, but the King of Qin hurriedly said: "Please don't refuse the reward, in the Qin State, it is against the law to refuse the reward... It's going to be arrested. When King Qin said this, he was very serious, not like a joke.
In fact, this was indeed the case with the laws of the Qin state.
Those who have sinned will be punished, those who have done meritorious service will be rewarded, and those who will not accept it will be arrested and questioned.
Like what later, he resigned several times in order to seek fame, and was unwilling to go to Taixue to give up the quota to his brother, such an act was illegal in the Qin State... Do you dare to give in to the reward? Do you dare to resign from an official position? Shave your beard directly and see if you dare to resign!
Zhao Kuo looked at Li Si, who was sitting behind him with his head down, he stood up, pulled Li Si, and let him sit beside him, and then said to King Qin: "In this matter, it is this Li Si who has made the greatest contribution, he is a disciple of Xunzi, and these systems are all completed by him and Han Fei... I don't have anything to contribute, all I do is ask them for help, and if you want to give it, you can reward them. ”
King Qin looked at the young man in front of him in surprise, then looked at Han Fei beside him, and couldn't help laughing.
"Okay, okay."
"Since it is a talented person recommended by Wu Chengjun himself... That widow must be reused! ”
King Qin said, and then, his expression became serious again, and he said to Zhao Kuo: "The widow will gather the ministers and immediately implement this official position system in the country!" ”
"It's... Will it be a little too fast? If there's something unsafe...", Li Si asked with some concern.
"To take a sharp sword, not to kill an enemy, but to put it on a delicate table and look at it, is something that a foolish man would do. Thinking only about the harm it may bring, hesitating to execute it, this is something that only cowardly people will do... And in the state of Qin, there were no such people. ”
