Su Qin, Bai Qi and Jiang Mu have left, while Ju Xin continues to stay and discuss with Wei Zheng the great cause of changing the law and strengthening the country. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"How to go from weak to strong, from small to large, from humble to noble...... It is difficult to change the law, so that we can finally achieve the great cause of strengthening our country and dominating the world! Zixin, it is imperative to defend the country and change the law, how are you preparing for your law? As soon as Wei Zheng asked, Ju Xin replied: "The prince is tolerant." On the occasion of this princely meeting in the eastern capital, the minister has formulated a general outline for the reform of the law of our country. ”

Wei Zheng smiled and said, "Oh? Let's hear it briefly. The drama Xin was so excited, and immediately said: "The minister is ugly in front of the prince, and I hope the prince will give advice." ”

Wei Zheng is a master of legalism, and Ju Xin is also very modest, knowing that in front of the monarch, there is a lot of taste of getting an axe, but when Wei Zheng returned to China, the two sat down to discuss the law, and Ju Xin also benefited a lot.

"Back to the prince, since the beginning of the day, his subordinates have drafted a general policy based on the three principles of the rule of law of the prince and the prince."

"To defend the country and change the law, the main thing is 'one law, three outlines and nine systems'. The law is as solid as it is, and the country is governed according to law. One of the three outlines, emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business, rewarding cultivation and weaving to enrich the country; Second, the military system is upgraded, and military merits are rewarded to strengthen the army; At the end of the three outlines, unify the governance power, and rectify the governance of officials to govern the government. ”

"The nine systems are: the field cultivation system, the tax system, the knighthood system, the Qi customs system, the county system, the official system, the military merit reward system, the weights and measures system, and the unified Yulu system."

Wei Zheng didn't say a word, he always listened to the drama Xin's eloquent speech, and never said anything.

Ju Xin continued: "The first is the "Field Cultivation System", which abandons the well field and opens up the land, recognizing that the land is private for the people, and the people can buy and sell the land freely;

The second is the "Taxation System", which abolishes the old tax system of indefinite tribute, and establishes a new law that taxes farmers pay taxes according to the acres of land, workers according to workshops, and merchants according to transactions;

Third, the "knighthood system", the common people are committed to farming and weaving to get rich and pay more taxes, they can get the title, and the knighthood system will be able to encourage the people to work hard and weave, which is the lifeblood of the country to gather grain;

Fourth, "Qi Customs System", according to the law, it is compulsory to remove the barbaric style of the foolish people in the mountains and fields, and change customs, such as sleeping together with the family, martyrdom and other vices;

Fifth, the "county system" abolished all the fiefdoms of the nobles of the Shiqing and returned to the state, and unified the establishment of county and county two-level official offices, which were directly governed by the country and governed by the officials sent by the imperial court. Since the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, the feudal division of the country has led to the decline of the Zhou Dynasty, and the world has chased it together. The Qing family's own fiefdom continues to grow bigger and support the self-esteem of the land, support the army and self-respect, and then have the following chaos, the three families are divided, the Tian family represents the Qi country, and the country stealer Hou Ye, such troubles must be nipped in the bud.

Sixth, the "Official System" limits the number of government officials at all levels and their subordinate powers to govern power, and puts an end to government affairs from going out of their private doors.

Seventh, "Military Merit Incentive Reward System", where the battle array beheads the enemy's pawn, a military salary will be rewarded for one year, and the number of enemy leaders will be rewarded, and military merits will be awarded to the knight. Bravely kill the enemy to make profits, accumulate military merits to get famous, fame and fortune must make our soldiers fight bravely to kill the enemy, brave and fearless, why is there no victory?

The eighth "system of weights and measures", where within the realm of our defense, the degree, measurement, and balance are not unified and corrected by the only standard customized by the government, and the weights and measures of the official system should be the only valid, and the rest are invalid, so as to prevent businessmen or treacherous officials from exploiting the common people, and also make the local taxation eliminate favoritism, and the unity and justice are subject to all sides.

The ninth "Yulu System" abolished the old system of dividing land to reward meritorious officials, and the ministers and hundreds of officials were uniformly fixed as the salary, or grain, coins, and gold were used as the salary, and the amount of the official position was determined. For the construction of the country and worship the heroes of the king, the reward of the fief can only enjoy the right to cai, without any right to rule, the governance of the fief is governed by the important members of the court, and the unified tax is verified by the government and then presented to the lord of the feudal monarch. ”

At the end, I saw Ju Xin bow slightly, and said: "The general policy of defending the country and changing the law is as mentioned above, return to the monarch and marquis, and the minister is finished-!" ”

Wei Zheng sat still, nodded again and again after a while, and said, "Hmm-!" Zi Xin is a great talent, for the great cause of my country, and the legislation is new, one law, three outlines and nine systems, concise and to the point, but Ben Hou knows that Zi Xin must have taken great pains for this, worked hard, and worked hard! ”

"Xie Junhou is sympathetic. It is the duty of the minister to be in charge of the public affairs of the state and to choose the king and be loyal to the king. The drama Xin was quite moved, and suddenly felt that the efforts of these days were not in vain, and he chose to serve such a bright lord and be a minister, what regrets are there in this life.

After laughing, Wei Zheng asked again: "Zixin's law is quite the shadow of Shangjun's law, and this law is also quite perfect, and it generally does not need to be changed, but there are a few places that need to be reformulated." ”

"Please show me!" Ju Xin thought that this law, three outlines and nine systems were already very perfect, and thought that Wei Zheng would be very satisfied.

Wei Zheng is indeed very satisfied, but not completely satisfied, in fact, Ju Xin has also done a very perfect job.

"How does Zixin think his 'Yulu system' should be implemented?" Wei Zheng asked.

"The minister thinks it's ......," Ji Xin thought about it and said: "It depends on the level of the official." Those who are officials are not businessmen, and the way of officials should be for the country and the people, and the style of officials should be honest, and those who are high-ranking officials should set an example and act as a model for the wind of integrity, so that the wind of honesty will be able to sweep the government and the opposition. ”

Ju Xin saw Wei Zheng suddenly shaking his head, and he was puzzled, so he thought about it carefully, and after thinking about it, he didn't think of anything wrong.

I saw Wei Zheng look at him and said quietly: "Seeking truth from facts, advancing with the times, facing objective reality and adapting measures to local conditions are the essence of my Legalist faction. There is nothing wrong with being honest and honest for the sake of officials, but no-! ”

As soon as this remark came out, Xin opened his mouth slightly, and he didn't know what to say, don't you want to be corrupt officials if you don't want to govern the country?

Wei Zheng thought of the dynasty that advocated honesty in the Ming Dynasty but became the most corrupt officials, and when he thought of those things in the Ming Dynasty, he made up his mind even more, only to see him look at the puzzled drama Xin, and said: "My courtier, honesty is naturally at a loss, but there is no need for him to be honest." I just need him to be productive and fair! ”

"Human nature is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Zi Xin, everything in the world is wanted, what do you want? Desire also! It is human instinct to have desires, inhibition is the policy of the bottom, and the guide is the best policy. ”

Speaking of this, Wei Zheng couldn't help but think of Hai Rui, a famous Qing official in the Ming Dynasty in later generations, and edited a true or false story in his heart and said: "Zi Xin knows that outside the Central Plains today, there is a big country in the extreme of the Western Regions and thousands of miles away? Compared to today, it is invincible to any country, even the Qin State? ”

Wei Zheng is of course talking about the great empire that spans Asia, Africa and Europe, that is, the Macedonian Empire, also known as the Alexander Empire. It just so happened that this year was the year of the fall of the Macedonian Empire.

"The ministers are lonely and unheard, and they don't know what the prince is talking about." The slightly dazed drama Xin said weakly.

The extreme of the Western Regions, thousands of miles away? The shocked Ji Xin couldn't help but ask, "The Qin State is also invincible?" Is what the prince said true? A great power in the Western Regions thousands of miles away? ”

"This is what I know in the ancient books of Shimen, the name of its country is 'Macedonian Kingdom', its country is thousands of miles in circumference, I don't know thousands of miles, and the Qin State is also invincible!" Wei Zheng swore that today's Qin State would definitely not be able to defeat the unified Macedonian Kingdom, and this year was 323 BC, and the Macedonian Empire was estimated to have fallen with Alexander's death.

Wei Zheng suddenly said that this country was not specifically to expand the geographical horizon of Ju Xin, but to use the Macedonian Empire to tell Ju Xin about those things in the Ming Dynasty.
