Chapter 542: Only Respect the Law and Confucianism
The amnesty was to buy time, and the revision of the Great Qin Law was actually only a palliative move.
If you want to truly cure the root cause, you must turn off the war machine of the Great Qin Empire.
Ever since the Shang Dynasty changed the law, the laws and decrees of the Qin State were all formulated for the purpose of war.
Therefore, the Qin State began to gradually become a country that made a living from war, and the people of Qin State were overjoyed when they heard that there was a war, and they were proud of the battlefield, ashamed of not being able to go to the battlefield, proud of making military achievements on the battlefield, and ashamed of not being able to make military achievements...... A country with such combat power should not be able to dominate the world.
However, now that the whole world has been unified, it is obviously inappropriate to continue to implement such a decree, and even if such a decree is purely for the purpose of war, even if it is amended, it will only be a mere attempt to straighten out the curve.
This is also why, after Liu Bang entered Xianyang, he directly abolished all the strict punishment laws of the Qin State, and only agreed on three chapters of the law.
Of course, Qin Xiaobai doesn't mean to follow Liu Bang's example, and directly do things to the end, this can be the case in troubled times, if there is no chaos now, then the world will be in chaos.
You must know that after Liu Bang's goods seized the world, they were still made by Han Cheng Qin......
Therefore, Qin Xiaobai suggested that Fusu should change the core idea of governing the world for the empire.
The hundred schools of thought are the core of this thought.
Qin Shi Huang was a hundred schools of thought, only the Legalists, and later Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was to depose the hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism.
Therefore, Qin Xiaobai suggested that Fusu should combine the concepts of the Qin Emperor and Han Wu into one, and all schools of thought should be taken, and only Confucianism should be respected.
Putting on the Legalists a Confucian cloak and Confucianism is within the law, so that the empire can continue to operate efficiently, and at the same time, it can be accepted by the people.
Later generations have indeed proved that this is the best compromise.
Unlike Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the hundred schools of thought were not abolished.
You must know that a hundred schools of thought are contending. However, in the unprecedented prosperity of civilization in the history of China, only competition can have motivation, even if the best things become monopolies, they will definitely make things stagnant.
Only by reserving a place for the hundred schools of thought can the civilization of the Great Qin Empire become more splendid.
To be on the safe side, of course. Qin Xiaobai still told Fusu that if he couldn't turn the contention of the hundred schools of thought into healthy competition, then it would be better to abolish it all, after all, the stability and continuation of the empire is the top priority, and it is also the key to Qin Xiaobai to obtain the Great Qin Dragon Qi.
Fusu, a good student, immediately nodded like a chicken pecking rice when he heard the words, and quickly wrote it down on the bamboo slip.
When Xiaobai Laoshi talked about this, his mouth was a little dry, so he took a sip of tea to moisten his throat. Then he thought of it again, so he continued: "By the way, there is also the Mo family, and the Mo family is also very good. ”
"The Mo family advocates both love and non-aggression, and is very opposed to His Majesty's invasion of the countries, but I should support you, after all, you have the same philosophy, and now the world is unified. Then they should no longer think about splitting the Great Qin Empire and letting the world return to the battlefield where they have been fighting for many years.
"You can send someone to contact them. If you can use it for yourself, you can reuse it. ”
Fusu nodded when he heard this, he had already thought about how to govern the world in his heart, but the concept was very vague, and he only knew how to implement benevolent government, but Qin Xiaobai embodied it. coincides with his philosophy, especially Confucianism and Moism, so he can't help but admire Qin Xiaobai even more.
They all wrote it down, and they planned to do what Qin Xiaobai said as soon as they ascended the throne.
Qin Xiaobai was happy when he saw Fusu's serious attitude. is worthy of his on-demand broadcast with so much saliva.
And according to Qin Xiaobai's combination of punches, and Fusu, a benevolent monarch, to implement it, it should not be a problem to save the fate of the Great Qin Empire.
However, since Qin Xiaobai knew what would happen in the future, he naturally had to add a little foresight.
Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Liu Bang, Xiang Yu, and the nobles of the Six Kingdoms, these potential threats can be dealt with.
Logically speaking, it seems that all you need to do is take a roster and put these people wanted, but in reality it is not that simple.
First Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, Qin Xiaobai only knew their names and the location of the uprising, and they didn't know where they were from at all.
Besides, when they see that the situation is not good, can they flee incognito?
The best example is Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu, they have long been wanted by the empire, and they are not all right.
And Liu Bang is now obscene in Mangdang Mountain, and it is not easy to arrest.
If you have to send someone to arrest it, maybe it will cause a butterfly effect such as forcing them to rebel in advance, and then it will be a pit.
In addition, there is also a saying that the wheels of history are rolling and crushing, killing Liu Bang, and there may also be Zhang Bang and Li Bang.
The decapitation plan, it is difficult to change the trajectory of history.
As for giving them official titles and bribing them, Liu Bang still has the possibility, but for other anti-Qin forces, it gives them a better platform to make trouble, so this method is not available.
Therefore, Qin Xiaobai chose a solution that was not the fastest, but definitely the most secure, suppression.
Send a large army to Daze Township, Mangdang Mountain, and Wuzhong, these major locations, to suppress the Kanto region with radiation from point to area.
With the deterrence of the army, it is easy for no one to rebel, and even if there are outlaws who dare to make trouble, they can extinguish it when the spark develops into a prairie fire.
When the time comes, with a series of reforms planned by Qin Xiaobai to save Daqin, the root cause and the symptoms will be cured, so that those who have rebellious intentions will have no room for rebellion.
In this way, the general trend is naturally irreversible, and it is the safest solution to let Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Liu Bang, and Xiang Yu stand out to everyone.
However, in order to activate this method of crushing everything with the general trend, one big problem must be solved, no soldiers.
After the first emperor swept Liuhe, he sent an army of 300,000 to conquer the Xiongnu in the north, and an army of 500,000 to attack Baiyue in the south.
The entire Central Plains region is almost hollow, and only the more than 100,000 central troops around the first emperor can use it, which is why the first emperor wants to tour the world in order to suppress the Quartet.
is also why Zhang Han later could only use Lishan prisoners as soldiers to suppress rebellions in various places.
The soldiers of the central government cannot be moved, the central government is the central government after all, and it is necessary to ensure that the central government has sufficient authority before the reform of the national law can be implemented, and 100,000 soldiers and horses are already the bottom line, and there can be no less.
The soldiers and horses in the north and the soldiers and horses in the south could not move either.
The soldiers and horses in the north of the country must guard against the great danger of the Xiongnu, and the soldiers and horses in the south are now guarding the land of Baiyue, once they are evacuated, Baiyue will inevitably rebel.
As soon as Fusu ascended the throne, he had no merits, and if he lost such a large piece of territory, he would inevitably lose his prestige, and it would be difficult to pass government decrees in the future.
This is not the most terrible thing, I am afraid that it is very likely to cause greater turmoil like dominoes, and then it will really be a pit.
As for letting Fusu and learn from the First Emperor to tour the world and suppress the Quartet or something, it is even more impossible, because Fusu does not have that prestige at all.
In this way, this seems to be an unsolvable problem, but fortunately, the people of Qin Xiaobaishan have their own clever plan. (To be continued.) )
