Chapter 904: The Cloth Clothes Will Be Together

"I don't know if the First Emperor was aware of that."

It had not been a long time since Hefu had shown his heart to anyone like this, and he muttered:

"The first emperor hated Xianyang Palace all his life, and at first he repaired the palace room in Guanzhong and went to deal with government affairs elsewhere. Later, he indulged in cruising, and I guessed that in addition to showing the power of the Son of Heaven, he also wanted to escape from this place, leave the isolated center, go out and see, see the vast world, see the real happiness of the people, he wanted the truth, everything he wanted......"

But the experience of the First Emperor, his great desires, outweighed his concern for all sentient beings, and countless people covered up for various purposes, he was destined not to see the truth. Even if he saw a little, but at that time, he was more concerned about how to live forever and how to fight with his courtiers in a hundred battles a day. ”

"In short, starting from the first emperor, from top to bottom, there was a big problem in Great Qin, everything was based on the king's desire, tens of thousands of Qin officials and 30 million people in the whole world were running east and west in order to realize the first emperor's desire, fighting in the south and fighting in the north, but forgetting the simplest relationship between the king and the people......"

Zhang Cang is indeed a person who understands Heifu, and he explained the simple and clear truth for Heifu, but was deliberately ignored by the First Emperor.

"The king's boat is also, the people's water is also, the water is the boat, and the water is the overturned boat."

Zhang Cang sighed and said: "This is the teaching of my teacher Xun Qing Dundun, but Prime Minister Li Cheng doesn't know whether he deliberately forgot it, or blindly obeyed the will of the king, fueled the troubles, and finally the world was corrupted......

"That's right, water can carry boats and race...... Well, the shipwreck! ”

Heifu nodded: "Lost the support of the people, so the weak south can defeat the strong north, and this is also the Kanto group and anti-Qin, in addition to the remnants of the six countries from the instigation, those of the six countries' hometown of the Qianshou Lu Zuo, is really 'bitter Qin for a long time', fed up with forced labor, running around......"

Heaven only seeks democracy at the right time, but it is a great manifestation to retire and retire in soup. He who is the Lord of the people, the Son of Heaven is also.

Servants are democratic, and they should be led by law. Those who are masters of the people are also officials.

Since the Great Qin Emperor and officials cannot make decisions for the people, then the people of the world can only chop wood for soldiers, uncover poles and banners, and make decisions for themselves......

This is the true connotation of "democracy" in ancient China, and it is also the rule of the game, the greater the destruction of this rule, the faster the dynasty will fall.

Heifu secretly said in his heart: "When I sweep the world again, at least for twenty years, I will not raise a war!" ”

That is for the future, and what is to blame for now is the policy of his "regent":

"The old Qin has been overthrown with the fall of Huhai, and the new Qin must not repeat the mistakes of the past!"

"New Qin ......" Zhang Cang chewed on what this title meant: "But how to avoid it?" ”

"Although Qin Xingjun is a meritorious knight, the civil lord is only a public ride, in recent years, he was born in the military and can be in the court......"

Heifu pointed to himself: "It's not Heifu boasting, I'm just alone!" ”

Moreover, it is still necessary to work hard to do it.

"Therefore, at the beginning of Qin, the princes were destroyed, the heart of the world was undecided, and the wounded were not ...... to revitalize the people's urgency, support the elderly and save the orphans, and repair the sum of the people, but the generals still followed the will of the first emperor, and the of the Yi Xinggong"

When he said this, Zhang Cang glanced at Heifu, and said in his heart, Aren't you the one who took the lead in these things......

Heifu explained to himself: "It is necessary to drive out the Xiongnu, and that's it, but after the Eastern Expedition, the Southern Expedition, and because of the words of the Great Xia people, the First Emperor ordered Li Xin to send tens of thousands of people and 100,000 mules and horses to the west, it is really unnecessary, not to mention the internal repair of the palace." ”

"I also admonished South Vietnam, at least slowly, but the first emperor didn't listen, and he had a big quarrel with me in the Jieshi Palace, and the ministers at that time didn't see anyone to help me speak......

"But it's different now."

Heifu is quite confident: "Unlike the first emperor, Wang, Meng, Yang and other generations of military ministers are generals, although they are slightly the best in the world, but they still despise the head of Qian, my regent, and many civil and military subordinates, most of them are from cloth clothes. ”

Needless to say, the old department of Nanjun is either a local official, or a poor man, and there are many white disciples like Heifu who don't even have a surname, and the rest of the people, Lu Jia, Sui He, and Chen Ping are poor people, Han Xin is an unemployed vagrant, and Xiao He and Cao Shen are local officials.

In the process of victory, it is true that some people have forgotten the class from which they came from and have rapidly degenerated, but most people, at least still based on their rising class, have not yet shed the mud on their feet.

"Among his generation, there are not a few talented people."

It's not Heifu boasting, several prime ministers of the Han Dynasty in history, Xiao He, Cao Shen, and Chen Ping are all in his pocket - not counting Zhang Cang in front of him.

"His generation will occupy the core of the court, or as a feudal official, govern one side, creating an unheard of situation......"

Heifu stretched out his hand and pointed to the main hall of Xianyang Palace, which had been cleared by himself by force, murder, coercion and temptation:

"Cloth clothes will be the same game!"

Moreover, this group of people is widely distributed, not only from Nanjun, but also from Liangdi, Huainan, abundant, and Qilu, almost all over the world.

"When his generation governs the state and the country, he will at least know more about the diseases at the bottom and the urgency of the world than the sons of wealthy families who grew up in the capital."

Heifu said: "The local officials will gather the people's urgency, report to the court, and the center will make corresponding improvements, and then send it to the localities, continue to receive feedback, and test whether these policies are correct. ”

"This is what you say, from the people, to the people?"

Zhang Cang was a little moved, although he was not born poor, but he was just a township tyrant in Yangwu County, and he was still a mere cloth when he was thrown into a place like Xianyang.

"Bu Yiqing ...... This is the dream of many scholars. ”

During the Warring States period, scholars were very enterprising, and traveled to various countries in order to enter the government, either directly to the monarch, or lobbied, expounding their political ideas and political strategies, and after gaining the trust of the monarch, they were reused, and changed from a scholar to a senior bureaucrat.

But as Heifu said, the princes and nations have never had a grassroots superior like Heifu's group......

In this cloth general's game, he Zhang Cang also has a place!

Although this is only Heifu's ideal, and there will be all kinds of difficulties and unexpected changes in putting it into practice, it alone is enough to make people excited.

Zhou, Qin, and even all dynasties, when the first regime arose, the blueprint of the edifice was not full of idealistic outlines?

Ideals are not hypocrisy.

It is the expectation of the founders for those who come after them.

It is also a "lie" that a polity must maintain at all times.

Some people feel disgusting, some people don't think so, some scoff, and some people sneer.

But there are still some people who believe that the blood and sweat of their predecessors will not be in vain, and that they believe that generations of people will work hard for it, in case, one day this ideal will be realized?

The regime's emphasis on ideals is like a dream that one must remember, and if one day we forget it, we will already be stuck in the quagmire of reality, and we will have to get by, and there will be no future.

"But this situation can't be maintained forever."

But immediately, Zhang Cang, who is well aware of the evil of human nature, is determined: "The reason why everyone follows you is to be a marquis, but they may not be able to follow the concept you expect." Now that his generation has ascended to a high position, he is no longer the cloth clothes of the past, and at most one generation, he is no different from the former Shiqing! ”

"Yes......" Heifu understands that if he does not change and still follow the routine since the Spring and Autumn Period, this kind of cloth situation will last for twenty or thirty years at most, and it will be fleeting with the death of the people who fight the world.

"Therefore, there is a need for a channel to rise from the bottom to the top, so that talented scholars in the people, especially scholars in the homeland of the Six Kingdoms, can step by step, first as a small official, then as a county official, and finally slowly rise to the court and participate in the decision-making system of the world."

A political system without the injection of fresh blood is destined to be a pool of stagnant water, and only by providing a stable upward channel can the regime maintain its vitality to the greatest extent.

"In this regard, Daqin is much better than the Spring and Autumn Period and the Six Kingdoms, and the head of the Qian, and even the subordinates can also be officials through military merits, and the prime ministers are all issued in the state department, and the fierce generals must start in the army, and the princes and grandsons must not belong to the family, which can be regarded as curbing the Shiqing Shilu ......"

But Qin's military merits have two major problems, one is that it is difficult to descend when it is promoted, and in the end, it becomes more and more worthless and gradually corrupted. On the other hand, those who enjoyed this system were the new and old Qin people, who accounted for only a quarter of the world's population, and the six kingdoms, which were quickly annexed within ten years, had no chance of this upward channel.

"When the first emperor was not unified, those who still came did not refuse, so that the people of the world gathered in Qin, but after the unification, in addition to the more than seventy doctors, you have ever seen a Kwantung scholar in a high position?"

After thinking about it, the only ones who can find it are Chen Ping, Cao Shen, and Xiao He, who have been promoted all the way by Heifu......

The rest of the officials above 1,000 stones are all Qin people, and there are almost no people from the Six Kingdoms!

Lu Jia, Sui He, and the countless strategists in the anti-king camp of the Six Kingdoms are all people who have natural talents, but they have not been able to enter the upward channel under the system. What's even more excessive is that because the Qin officials have limited customers, the local nobles have been hit again, and there is no way out, the Kwantung scholars can only actively join the ranks of "anti-thieves".

To put it mildly, in the past ten years, in the Kwantung region, Qin was like the Qing Dynasty, which canceled the imperial examination, and cut off the upward channel of the scholars of the Six Kingdoms, which undoubtedly pushed them to the opposite side of the regime.

In addition, the nobles of the six countries, who were already intertwined, gave advice to the depressed and depressed Qianshou people, and the scholars gave advice from them, so it is strange that this rebellion is not violent.

Zhang Cangshen thought so: "My teacher Xun Qing once said that although the descendants of the princes and doctors cannot belong to the courtesy, they will belong to the people." ”

"Therefore those who are above need to go down, and those who are below need to go up."

Heifu has already calculated: "The upper one should be simpler, the title will be demoted from generation to generation, and those who will be unworthy in future generations will not be able to maintain their wealth and nobility." ”

Zhang Cang looked at Heifu: "If you do this, you will offend a large number of heroes and soldiers who created this 'New Qin'." ”

"So you have to plan it slowly, at least for a short time, and don't give it suddenly."

Heifu looked at the fat man's mouth and said, "The reason why I sued Zhang Jun is because I know that you have a tight mouth." ”

"Cangdang is tight-lipped like a bottle." Zhang Cang nodded, but immediately felt that it was wrong, what is a tight mouth, he always felt that this conversation was weird......

Heifu didn't think much about it, outlining the system requires the wisdom of a thinker, as a post-Xunzi student, and his own hardcore henchman, Zhang Cang is the first choice of helper he thought of: "As for how to let the subordinates go up to the state and the court, ......"

Zhang Cang inevitably continued to promote Xunzi's idea: "My teacher Xun Qing also said that although the descendants of the Shu people are also accumulating literature and doing their own thing, if they can belong to etiquette and righteousness, they will be returned to the Qing Xiangshi Doctor." ”

Heifu disagreed, Xunzi only put forward this idea, which could be used as a program, but did not further propose specific implementation methods.

And the factors of reference are literature, morality, etiquette? Although it is the theme of the inspection and imperial examination system in later generations, it shows the far-reaching influence of Xunxue, but it does not conform to the basic national conditions of Qin at present, as well as Heifu's higher expectations for the future......

"In what way? But I have to think about it. ”

is not in his position and does not seek his government, even if he is as smart as Zhang Cang, in the past, as a small official of the Qin Dynasty, at most he sorted out the books, counted the money, grain and grain, and the court affairs? Hefu is not qualified to judge the reform of the system, let alone him, so he has not thought deeply about this issue.

"Do you need to talk about that?"

Heifu slapped his palms and smiled evilly at the hundreds of millions of students in later generations.

From ancient times to the present, from small to large, from students to civil servants, what are Chinese best at and most passionate about?

"Of course it's an exam!"
