Volume 1: The Search for a Thousand Years, Chapter 43: A Brief Discussion on the Dharma

Qu Yuan was ill for half a month, and Zhao Bixia took care of him almost every step of the way.

Seeing that Qu Yuan locked himself in the house, he didn't go out for a walk for half a month.

When Qu Yuan's health improved, when the weather was good and the sun was not so hot, Zhao Bixia pulled Qu Yuan out of the room and sat under the small pavilion on the top floor of the library pavilion, and the sun shone from the side of the pavilion

Zhao Bixia: "Lingjun, to be sick is to bask in the sun more, and basking in the sun is conducive to eliminating germs in the human body"

Lingjun: "Germs? What is it?"

Zhao Bixia: "Germs are things that will make our bodies worse and make us sick, germs also have life, and it is good for the elimination of diseases after killing them......

Seeing that Qu Yuan was still the thinking of the ancients, he directly said that viruses and microorganisms were too subversive in cognition, and he simply explained it very roughly.

Qu Yuan also understood the germs in Zhao Bixia's mouth, but the sun god Dongjun was also enthusiastic and lively in Qu Yuan's heart, bringing warmth.

Zhao Bixia opened her arms to soak up the sun, and Qu Yuan already had Dongjun's poem in her heart: Zhaowu Threshold Fusang...... The night is bright......

Zhao Bixia: "Lingjun, I have a volume of "Fa Xun" compiled by Shang Jun, and he asked me to pass it on to you, which may be of great use to you in the future."

Qu Yuan took the bamboo slip handed by Zhao Bixia and opened the innovation strategy.

Zhao Bixia also wanted to see it, but at first glance, it was a small seal of the Qin State, one head and two big.

Zhao Bixia: "Lingjun, you can understand the Qin script" Of course, the answer also knows that Qu Yuan can read the script of the Seven Kingdoms.

At the beginning of the "Fa Xun", it was written that the main points of Shang Jun's reform of the law were: attaching importance to economic upgrading, abolishing well fields, opening up Qianmo, emphasizing agricultural development, and unifying weights and measures;

The second is to reward the three armed forces, abolish the Shiqing Shilu system, reform the household registration system, create a joint sitting law, implement the county system, and formulate a constitutional decree.

In addition to the Shiqing Shilu system, it is based on the fact that everyone is a virtuous and capable person, opening up sources and reducing expenditures, saving court expenses, and at the same time formulating laws and regulations, enforcing the rule of law, and rewarding strong generals with outstanding military achievements, the soldiers in the army are greatly encouraged, and their combat effectiveness has been greatly improved.

It is not easy to innovate without profit, and it is not easy to make a profit. "There is no fault in the ancient law, and there is no evil in etiquette." Shang Ying pointed out-for-tat: "In the previous life, there were different religions, what is the ancient law? If the emperor does not get back to each other, what is the etiquette method? "If you don't rule the world together, the country will be lawless. The king of soup and martial arts is also prosperous without following the ancients; The destruction of Yin Xia is also not easy to die politely. However, those who oppose the ancients may not be wrong, and there are not enough people who follow the rites. Thus advocating "legislation at the time, and etiquette according to the matter"

In 361 BC, Qin Xiaogong ascended the throne, because the Qin State had experienced the dark period of "four generations of chaotic government", during which although Qin Xiangong turned the tide, but the national strength of the Qin State still inevitably lagged behind the Shandong countries, coupled with the blockade of the Wei State, the Qin State could only be trapped in the west, which was despised by the princes of the world, and the princes' alliance did not even bother to invite the Qin State.

In order to wash away the humiliation, and also for the hatred of the country for a hundred years, Qin Xiaogong issued a decree to the world to seek merit, hoping that the world's scholars would join the Qin auxiliary government. Soon, Wei Ying entered Qin, and after some twists and turns, he finally met Qin Xiaogong, who was worshiped by Qin Xiaogong as the head of the left and entrusted with the important task of changing the law.

With the support of Qin Xiaogong, Wei Ying set off two rounds of reform in 356 BC and 350 BC respectively, including the introduction of "waste well fields, open up the Qianmo", the implementation of the county system, the reward of farming, the establishment of a seventeen-level lord system, the construction of the new capital Xianyang and other measures, this series of changes were collectively called "Shang Yang reform" by later generations.

Zhao Bixia looked at this volume of innovation strategy, and traced back to Shang Ying's two innovation processes: the first innovation content:

The implementation of the collar cloth is different: the law of joint sitting is increased, and heavy punishment is used for misdemeanors; Abolish the old Shiqing Shilu system, reward military merits, prohibit private fighting, and reward 20 knights according to military merits;

Those who are given special incentives for cultivating and weaving and those who produce a lot of grain and cloth can be exempted from labor and taxes, and agriculture is the "main business" and commerce is the "last business", and the scope of business is restricted, and the commercial tax is re-levied.

The second innovation went deeper and more thoroughly:

In addition to the aristocratic well field system, "open Mo feudal territory", abolish the slave system of land state-ownership, implement private ownership of land, the state recognizes private ownership of land, and allows free buying and selling,

The county system is universally implemented, and a county bureaucracy is set up;

The capital was moved to Xianyang and a palace was built

Unified system of weights and measures, promulgated standards for weights and measures:

It is stipulated that residents must register their household registrations, and military taxes are levied on a household basis and population by household:

The remnants of Rongdi customs were abolished, fathers, sons and brothers were forbidden to live in the same room, and a small family policy was implemented

Zhao Bixia: "No, Lingjun, Shang Jun's innovation strategy is still too aggressive, he can succeed thanks to the support and resistance of Xiaogong, you have to know how much pressure Xiaogong withstands, if the king does not have so much determination to innovate, he will only be pushed on the knife edge in the end"

Qu Yuan wanted to show his determination to innovate without fear.

Zhao Bixia remembered what she had learned in modern times, and introduced Qu Yuan to the modern situation in which she lived, so that he could think about it in the long run, so that he would not be hostile to the old nobles in the court in the future.

Zhao Bixia: "Lingjun is actually not necessarily suitable for Shang Jun's set of innovation strategies, we also have to analyze the current situation of Chu and formulate a set of strategies suitable for the implementation of Chu State's innovation, and we must not be in a hurry."

It was because Zhao Bixia knew Qu Yuan's determination to change the law too well that she had to advise Qu Yuan: "The reason why Shang Ying was executed was because the reform touched the interests of the aristocracy and was opposed by the aristocratic conservatives. During her time as the prince, Yingsi repeatedly violated the law, and Shang Ying punished the prince's teacher mercilessly. Shang Ying's reform was supported by the entire Qin state, which made King Qin Huiwen wary of his rebellion. Lingjun, I'm really worried about you."

Qu Yuan saw that Zhao Bixia thought that she was going to reform and persuaded herself in a hurry, so he already knew Zhao Bixia's heart

Bixia, do you still want to argue, you must be reluctant to leave me like this.

Zhao Yue said succinctly: "To sum up, the people need to be rich, and the people can make their own decisions, which is the traditional concept of our people and the people of the countries since ancient times, and they don't need much power when they are born in troubled times, with the current situation of the nations, they can have no worries about food and clothing, and their families are healthy."

Seeing that Qu Yuan had some understanding, Zhao Bixia continued to introduce: "They can live a free life, they are free physically and mentally, and they are not restricted, even if they want to be restrained, everyone has the same rules, and everyone enjoys fair and just treatment, which is now called the prince who violates the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people."

Zhao Bixia: "The last article is also the most difficult, based on the perfection of our constitution and the end of the disputes among the nations.

It is the most basic ethics of every ordinary person and every Chu person. Everyone can be the same as Lingjun, love this country deeply, and when encountering foreign troubles, the people of the whole country can be united with the outside world, and everyone from the monarch and court officials to the peddlers and pawns can feel happy in their profession, and can treat their position responsibly, so that they can work in their position.

Finally, everyone should be honest and friendly to each other......

Zhao Bixia gushed introducing.

Qu Yuan also listened a little coldly: "Bixia, these are layers of in-depth innovation, I understand, your suggestion is very important, it's better to be by my side, yes, I'm sick, Bixia, you should tell me your answer."

Qu Yuan looked at Zhao Bixia's embarrassing situation, and had a bit of fun, wanting to tease her.

Zhao Bixia also brought it with a haha: "Lingjun, your illness is not thorough, rest well, and recover well"
