Chapter 052 [Internal Confucianism and Outer Law]

205 BC.

It has been five years since Yang Yu came to this world.

In the past five years.

Under his reforms, the entire Great Qin underwent earth-shaking changes.

The lives of the people have also been properly managed with the help of high-yield crops.

No more starvations occurred.

"National teacher, think about it at the beginning, if I hadn't met the national teacher, would the people of Great Qin really be able to eat and drink enough?"

In the residence of the national teacher, the first emperor and Yang Yu sat in the pavilion, surrounded by eunuchs other than the personal eunuchs, and there was no one else, he recalled today's early dynasty and sighed.

"If it weren't for His Majesty's full support, minister, how could he be!"

Yang Yu was not greedy for merit, and said: "This is all the credit of all the adults. ”

"National teachers should not be humble! After the investigation of the Black Ice Terrace, now whether it is the people of Daqin or the people of the Six Kingdoms before, not to mention eating meat every day, they can also eat meat once a month. ”

"Back then, people didn't say they could eat meat, even eating was a problem!"

The First Emperor Yingzheng smiled and waved his hand, and said with emotion.

The method of the national teacher is really good.

After castration, the pig (pig) can really get rid of the fishy smell, and the growth rate is not as good as before castration.

In addition, the people planted sweet potatoes, not only could the lush sweet potato vines be cut to feed livestock, but the leaves of the sweet potato vines could also be eaten as vegetables.

"I hope that the people of Daqin can eat meat every day and eat enough at every meal."

Yang Yu smiled inwardly and said, "Your Majesty, don't be careless!" The real root cause has not yet been solved. ”

"Oh? National teacher, please speak! ”

When the first emperor heard this, his eyes lit up, could it be that the national teacher had bad water in his stomach, no, the plan to reform and strengthen the country?

"Your Majesty, the minister plans to depose the hundred schools, respect Confucianism alone, and Confucianism and internal law!"

Yang Yu said the next reform plan he had sorted out recently.

Inner Sage and Outer King, this is the reform plan he sorted out after half a year of thinking.

"Depose the hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism? Outer Confucianism and Inner Law"

Suddenly, Ying Zheng's brows furrowed.

Something is wrong with today's national teacher!

"National teacher, let's talk about it, I listen!" But since it was the national teacher who said that he deposed the hundred schools and respected Confucianism, there must be a reason for the national teacher, and listen to it first.

After all, this is a discussion on the next step in the reform plan, and a discussion is necessary.

"The minister's meaning is not what His Majesty thinks, really depose the hundred schools, respect Confucianism, and depose the hundred schools, just don't want them to spread their ideas among the people."

"The existence of the hundred schools of thought has led to the fact that the thinking of the entire nation and the entire Great Qin is not unified, and when the thinking is not unified, it will only bring disaster to the country, and there is nothing to see now, so what about the future?"

"In the future, if a fierce ideological struggle breaks out between the sons and hundreds of schools, this will definitely affect the entire empire and cause violent turmoil, and even lead to the regression of our Great Qin in all aspects of culture, economy, and national strength, which is not conducive to the rule of the empire."

"Second: Confucianism, not today's Confucianism, today's Confucianism, not only His Majesty can't look past it, even the ministers can't look past it, the Confucianism that the minister said is to take its essence and remove its dross of the loyal monarch and patriotic national thought, the empire only needs one thought, and other schools of thought must be shot to death."

"Third: Internal law, the people in the Great Qin Empire are all the people of my Great Qin, and they are all the children of Your Majesty. This is not good, it is not that the ministers do not approve, but the Legalist set of sitting together and punishing the nine clans at every turn is too harsh for the people of the empire! ”

"In terms of laws and policies, you can be lenient with the people in the empire, and don't take the lives of the people of the empire because of some trivial things......

"Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat, Your Majesty can know the essence of this sentence if you think about it! As long as Your Majesty does not do things that are extremely evil and hurt heaven and reason, as long as they are fed and clothed, and are protected by the laws of Daqin, how can they follow those rebellious rebellions? Whoever is good to them, they follow. ”

"Nowadays, the cultural thought of Confucianism is to fool the people to consolidate the imperial power, and fooling the people is the biggest mistake, if the people are illiterate, it is easy to be used by careerists, so as to follow the road of rebellion without return, and teach the people to at least know how to recognize the simplest words, so as not to be bewitched by careerists, which is the most important thing."

"Fourth: Confucianism, based on the law, and benevolent government."

"Daqin is a reasonable country, but if you bully my children for no reason, is Your Majesty willing to be bullied by outsiders?"

Yang Yu summed up what he sorted out and told the first emperor Yingzheng in one go.

And he listened attentively, and when Yang Yu said the sentence "Your Majesty wants your children to be bullied by outsiders", he instantly came back to his senses and said angrily: "You dare? Whoever dares to insult the people of my Great Qin, then don't blame me for the Great Qin swords. ”

"In this way, the cohesion of the people of Daqin to the whole country and the whole nation will be strengthened, and their loyalty and support to Your Majesty will also be improved by leaps and bounds, who dares to say that Your Majesty is not, they will definitely blush and have thick necks, and roll up their sleeves to fight with others, doesn't Your Majesty want to see such an empire, such a people?"

Yang Yu continued.

"National teacher, he is really talented, but I still need to think about this matter..."

In the end, the first emperor Yingzheng could only give such a sentence.

The national teacher's policy this time is really beyond his imagination.

If it really happens.

He was 100% convinced that Great Qin's national strength would climb to a peak.

Be clear.

Today's people don't know the idea of loyalty and patriotism, as long as there are no wars, hunger and other incidents affecting them, they will follow you.

If there is a phenomenon of war and starvation, will the people still follow you?

The answer is no.

The reform policy proposed by the national teacher really hit the point!

Unify the minds of the common people and instill in them the concept of loyalty and patriotism.

"Your Majesty, the minister still has something to say!"

Seeing the first emperor with a flushed face, Yang Yu was afraid that he would take a breath, so he hurriedly said.

"The national teacher has something to say, you and I don't have to care about these things!"

The first emperor Yingzheng waved his hand, he trusted Yang Yu quite much, and won Zhao Gao and Xu Fu at the beginning.

The changes made by the national teacher for Daqin, he is a personal experiencer, and he is also an executor, it goes without saying!

"The problem of the army!"
