……

A few days passed, and because of Chen Xu's words in the court, the matter of selecting hundreds of celebrities and building statues slowly subsided among the people.

After repeated quarrels and mediation among thousands of people in the Faculty of Letters, one hundred and twenty celebrities in the primary election were also released, writing biographies, writing classic quotations, sorting out sect theories, and a supplement with one hundred and twenty celebrities was published with the latest issue of Daqin Metropolis Daily, which was also mixed with a ballot, and everyone who bought the newspaper would get a chance to vote.

Although the quarrel between the people and the hundred schools of disciples because of the statues and rankings has begun to subside, but in fact, this kind of thing must not be relieved, after all, the sages have basically died in this era, and even the last great sage Xunzi has been dead for more than 20 years.

And this is also because of the traditions of the Qin State.

Among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, the Qin State is the country that attaches the most importance to practical theory, in order to be strong, it has successively enabled the law disciple Shang Ying, implemented the art of fooling the people and strict decrees, enabled the Mo disciple who was rejected by the Six Kingdoms, and even used a large army to attack South Korea in order to get Han Feizi, and even vigorously promoted Li Si, who poisoned and killed his fellow brother, that is to say, the tradition of employing people in the Qin State is to only value ability, not character, under this tradition of employing people, the temperament of the hundred disciples who came to take refuge in the Qin State can also be seen.

And Da Qin Cheng is also utilitarian, and defeat is also utilitarian, because he pays too much attention to utilitarianism and ignores benevolence, righteousness and morality, and finally collapses hopelessly.

Among them, the two main figures who overthrew the Great Qin, one was Zhao Gao, who was from a low background, but was proficient in the law, so Qin Shi Huang promoted him to the Zhongche Prefecture Order, and also asked him to teach his son Hu Hai, and even committed a capital crime and was pardoned.

And Li Si is the same, although he is far-sighted and talented, but his moral character is extremely flawed, poisoning his senior brother Han Feizi, and burning poetry and books for his own interests, both of which are unforgivable crimes, but he can be in the position of the left prime minister, and he is knighted and controls the government.

Utilitarianism prevails, and morality will inevitably decline, and Daqin relies on strict laws to restrain civilians to maintain the stability of the country, which is originally putting the cart before the horse.

In the development of human civilization, morality is always in the first place, any normal law is to maintain morality and justice, when the law can not maintain morality, when the law can not support the people who have fallen to the ground, when the law can not uphold justice, the moral level of society will decline rapidly and begin to collapse, when people are punished or even wronged because of their good deeds and righteous behaviors, people will give up morality and hide their goodness, and over time, the country will not be a country.

At present, the bustling hundred disciples in Xianyang are full of utilitarian hearts.

And the celebrities who really have no utilitarian heart are hiding in the folk and even in the barren mountains and mountains, and they don't want to do Qin.

The construction of the library, the selection of a hundred sages, and the erection of statues for them are to set an example for Daqin, let utilitarianism fade, let morality return, and then supplemented by the implementation of new laws and regulations, maintain basic fairness and justice on the basis of guaranteeing imperial rule, and build Daqin into an initially prosperous imperial feudal state.

This is what Chen Xu needs to slowly achieve.

The distribution of each issue of Daqin Metropolis Daily began at the end of the early hours of the morning.

Because the four gates of Xianyang will be opened at the end of the Yin period, and the horse-drawn carriages carrying newspapers from the printing house can enter the city.

In late autumn, the day is getting later and later.

But on this day, before the end of the day, the whole Xianyang City began to be noisy, countless hundreds of disciples in various costumes after a night of tossing and turning, all got up early and flocked to the countless newspaper kiosks and consignment halls all over Xianyang City, and the mobile sales points began to wait in line.

Yawning, rubbing eyes, rubbing hands and stomping feet, the early morning of late autumn was already very cold, but they all stared at each other with reddened eyes and discussed each other, and even many people were noisily pushing and shoving, and they pulled out their swords to duel in the street, but there were not many people who persuaded and stopped except for countless people who cheered.

And it seems that the people have long been aware, just when these hundreds of disciples got up early to line up to buy newspapers, many street vendors with carts carrying baskets to sell breakfast also got up, pushing steaming steamed buns, pancakes, and baked cakes to various newsstands and outlets, providing breakfast for these guys who queued up to fight and watch the excitement.

The early three coins and five coins are no longer a problem for the people of Xianyang today, these hundred disciples used to be mixed in Xianyang to beg for a living, and many of them were extremely miserable, just like the original Tang Ting, often ate the last meal without the next meal, and sometimes couldn't borrow money to be hungry for a day or two It is also a common thing, but in recent years, these literate intellectuals have become a wealthy group in Xianyang City, and have been recruited by the imperial court and wealthy businessmen to devote themselves to the reform tide of the Qinghe Marquis, and there is a place to give full play to their talents.

The so-called full warm thoughts**, these people have also become frequent visitors to the Quyuan Miscellaneous House, they are a group of cultured hooligans, with their salaries to support the vigorous development of countless Quyuan Miscellaneous Houses throughout Xianyang, and they are the favorite group of all the little ladies of the Quyuan Miscellaneous Cottage in Xianyang.

Before dawn, Lu Huan was called up from the bed by the patrolling forbidden army, and reported that thousands of hundreds of families had gathered on the street, and Lu Huan had to leave the concubine and get up from the warm quilt to arrange to strengthen the patrol and defense of the forbidden army, and only after figuring out the reason for these people gathering was he relieved.

The sound of fighting and scolding, laughter and cheers, the shouting of steamed buns, the shouting of the forbidden army, and the foggy Xianyang City, under such a lively and noisy scene, ushered in another rising sunrise.

"Crunch crunch ~"

Under the huge winch, under the impetus of more than a dozen forbidden troops, the four closed gates of Xianyang City slowly opened.

The people who had been waiting in line inside and outside the city gate to enter and exit also began to bustle excitedly, until the gate was fully opened, and after the forbidden army guarding the gate dragged the horses and fences to both sides, the flow of people inside and outside the city gate instantly began to flow forward, and the inspection of the forbidden army began to pass.

"Driving~~"

At the west gate of Xianyang City, among the crowded crowd queuing in and out, there was a row of more than a dozen double-bridled four-wheeled carriages directly entering the city from the passage where the nobles next to them entered and exited, and the forbidden army guarding the gate quickly let them go without checking at all, because these carriages were sprayed with the words Daqin Metropolis Daily, which were carriages for newspapers to transport newspapers, and they were basically coming and going every day.

"It's coming, it's coming, the newspaper is coming!"

Soon after the newspaper wagons entered the city, countless small two-wheeled carriages or mules and horses carried large bundles of newspapers in rattan frames to the various sales points, and when the latest issue of the newspaper arrived, everyone who was fighting, making noise, and eating steamed buns quietly settled down and reorganized the procession, and then took out the money bags one by one.

"Whoa~" The window of the newsstand was pushed open, and a helper inside poked his head out and shouted: "Queue up, don't crowd, start selling!" ”

"Wow~" The thick and long line on the street instantly swayed like a long snake, and everyone squeezed forward desperately.

"Fifty newspapers~" The first in line is estimated to be a scalper, and he directly slapped ten purple Tai Chi Tongbao on the wooden windowsill of the newspaper kiosk.

The helper of the newsstand did not lift it, and swept the five hundred dollars into the cash box with a sweep of his hand, and threw out a large bundle of newspapers.

"Hehe, I'm going to make a small fortune today!" The scalper excitedly carried the newspaper and turned around and ran.

"Fifty newspapers of a certain one~" The second in line also patted ten Tai Chi Tong Bao on the windowsill.

"Whoa~" With the sound of copper coins falling into the box, a large bundle of newspapers was also thrown out.

"A certain fifty copies~" The third also dropped five hundred coins and turned around to resist fifty newspapers.

"Fifty ......" When the fourth one shouted the same number, the queue behind them suddenly became excited and noisy.

"Enter your mother, you wait for a few splashes to be shameless, it's just with you on weekdays, today I wait to buy newspapers have important matters, you wait for fifty copies per person, I wait to get up early and line up, wouldn't it be empty to rejoice......"

"Exactly, put down the newspaper and crawl away!" A burly Confucian in a wide-sleeved robe stepped forward and grabbed the neck of the scalper who was about to leave, gritting his teeth and shouting.

"Lang Jun spares his life, I bought it for the ministers in the south of the city...... " Splash Pi hurriedly confessed, he couldn't afford to offend these scholars.

"What about the minister, the minister can not let me wait to read the newspaper......" Confucian kicked the scalper out.

"Guapi, leave the newspaper and leave quickly, otherwise I will beat you~"

"Of course, kill this turtle grandson~"

A crowd of scribes grinding their fists and palms rushed up to threaten.

"Okay, if you don't buy it!" The scalpers don't want the money they are scared of, and they run away while tidying up their clothes and hair, anyway, they are frequent visitors to the newsstand, and they won't lose the money, but it seems that they can't make money today.

"Nima said that it is necessary to make money as soon as possible, it seems that it is not early enough to get up today, a group of deflated calves, really unlucky, phew~" The scalper spit out a mouthful of phlegm at the students in line and turned to chase after the three companions in front.

"A certain ten...... Uh, five newspapers~"

"Five newspapers~"

"A certain three ......"

Because of the experience of the past, the back of the newspaper is much gentler, at most three or five copies of the purchase, with the sound of tinkling copper coins falling into the box, the newspaper also fell one by one in a pair of impatient hands to be snatched away.
