Xiang Shaolong sighed and said, "King, I already regret coming up with this idea, the investment is huge, and I can't even recover the cost." But Qing'er is very enthusiastic and doesn't think about making money at all, I'm afraid that I will end up being a poor bastard. ”

King Qin laughed and said, "When Shaolong took the secret recipe of paper and salt and gave it to the widow, how arrogant he was, why is he so stingy now?" ”

Xiang Shaolong said: "King, paper and salt are given to the king, although I, Xiang Shaolong, have not made money, but this technology is profitable, but this printing technology can't make money in anyone's hands." The development of technology can promote the progress of the times, but if you want people to study technology, you must make technology profitable, and profit is the driving force of technological progress. Technologies that aren't profitable are eliminated. Printing is of epoch-making significance for the spread of civilization, but now there are too few literate people, if everyone in the world is literate, not only will I not lose money, but I can also make money every day. ”

Xiang Shaolong secretly glanced at King Qin, popularizing culture, involving national policies and the bottom line of the aristocracy, he didn't dare to blatantly put it forward, so he could only stop at the point.

People in this era do not know how big the world is, and there are people of different races in the West from us, and when they develop, it will be a disaster for us. As the ruling class, they believe that the policy of ignoring the people can stabilize the regime, and if the common people are smarter than the nobles, how can such a small number of nobles still manage the country, and will not the world be in chaos? As for the development of the nation, it is not at all within the scope of their consideration, and the concept of the nation has not yet been formed.

King Qin smiled and said, "Everyone in the world is literate, how is it possible." Just let Mrs. Qin toss and toss, if you really lose a lot, you will be closed, with the wealth of Shaolong and Mrs. Qin, you can't be hungry. "He is a vested interest in the monopoly of knowledge, how can he easily open up knowledge to the people.

Xiang Shaolong wanted to propose compulsory education, set up schools, and had paper and printing to facilitate universal education. If the King of Qin can agree, it is best to take over the printing house, and it is the responsibility of the government to popularize education and inherit civilization. can see that King Qin doesn't even have the willingness to talk deeply, which shows that there is a long way to go to change this era of aristocrats and families fooling the people.

Lü Buwei heard about the printing house and also came to Xiang Shaolong to publish his "Lü's Spring and Autumn". Of course, he knew that Xiang Shaolong was very losing money, so he was not embarrassed to let Xiang Shaolong build money for him again, the labor and cost were all paid by himself, and he was not bad for money, what he wanted was fame.

Although Xiang Shaolong did not deal with Lu Buwei, he did not refuse.

Although the point of view of "Lü's Spring and Autumn Period" is incompatible with the current Qin State as a country ruled by law, it is also a classic handed down from generation to generation. But after the unification of the world, no matter how strict the law is, I am afraid that it will also be the way to ruin the country.

The state of Qin became strong because of the change of law, and it can be said that it adapted to the times. Shang Yingcai is eight buckets high, rich in learning, and has the talent of the world, but after chatting with Qin Xiaogong, he found that the barbarians of Qin State are not suitable for the "imperial road" and "royal road", only suitable for "domineering", so in order to cater to the character of the Qin State, he formulated harsh laws, ruled the good people with traitors, and finally even he himself died from the laws he formulated, and committed suicide.

However, the Qin State developed rapidly, achieved overtaking in the corner, and became the hegemon of the world. However, after the unification, the situation in the world has changed, but the Great Qin Empire still adheres to the cool law. This powerful empire that defeated Li Mu, Lian Po, Le Yi, Tian Dan, Sun Bin, Wu Qi, and the four gentlemen of the Warring States Period, but was pryed by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang The foundation of the empire was pryed on. ”

Just like the Soviet Union, "war communism" during the war allowed it to win the war. But the war was over, and it was still doing this, and it only took half a century for this unprecedentedly powerful country to collapse and disappear. "Lü's Spring and Autumn" also said: "Time changes, and it is appropriate to change the law."

Xiang Shaolong does advocate the rule of law, but opposes the cool law, although benevolence, righteousness and morality are only ideals, but they are also the basic spirit behind the legal system. He has always wanted to exert influence on Prince Zheng, wanting to change his brutality, but at present, the effect is average, Qin Jun's cruelty seems to be brought about by genes, and these nobles don't treat the common people as human beings at all.

Han Feizi was born in a royal family, studied under the great Confucian Xunzi, refined the thoughts of the channel, and integrated the "law" of Shang Ying, the "technique" of Shen Bu and the "potential" of prudence, and became a famous man in the world. In "Han Feizi and Five Worms", he mentioned that there are five types of people who should be killed if they are not guilty: scholars (Confucianism and law), talkers (Zonghengjia), swordsmen (chivalry and martial arts), people who suffer from the emperor (noble doormen), and industrialists (merchants and craftsmen). These five types of people are not conducive to farming and warfare, they are the moths of society, kill them all, leave only the illiterate farmers to farm, and the illiterate soldiers to fight, and the world will be peaceful. Such an article was actually regarded as a classic by Qin Shi Huang.

Xiang Shaolong comes from the 21st century, he thinks that he is not a good man and a woman, but he cannot be careless about human life, he knows what "human rights" and "humanity" are. The original intention of the law should be to protect the safety of people's lives and property, but the laws of this era are to maintain the rule and oppress the people, and they distinguish "officials" and "people" very clearly, which is why Ji Yanran has doubts about the legal system.

This is not a world that can be changed by one person, and Xiang Shaolong still doesn't have the courage to directly challenge the entire aristocratic class after all. Then let's be subtle, and you can do whatever you can.

Qin Qing not only had Ji Yanran as an assistant, she also pulled Wu Tingfang and Shu'er to help. It may be that they haven't done anything before, they are tired of playing, Wu Tingfang and Shu'er actually like this kind of fulfilling life, and they invested great enthusiasm, and in the end, Xiang Shaolong was left in the general's mansion as an idler. In broad daylight, the general's mansion seems deserted, and there is no longer the previous warbler Yanyan, laughing and laughing,

Xiang Shaolong felt like he was eating soft rice, the women were busy with their careers, and the men were idle all day long. In desperation, Xiang Shaolong began to care about his work. During the day, I will also go to Li Si to learn how he works, and I will also teach the prince, and when I have time, I will take the prince to exchange experiences with Li Si and Han Fei, and occasionally go to the barracks to care about the training of soldiers. Since returning to Xianyang, I haven't had such a serious matter.

Qin Qing and Ji Yanran are both top talents, and they have systematically sorted out the pre-Qin literature that they can collect, and with their strong financial resources, they have all been published, and the power of capital has been fully demonstrated.

Xiang Shaolong looked at this loser and didn't treat money as money, although Qin Qing spent his family's money, not his money, but he had already regarded Qin Qing's property as his own property, and he felt distressed for a while. He was afraid that he would hurt himself to death, so he repeatedly explained to Qin Qing the profit model of the publishing industry, and seeing that they could never understand how to turn knowledge into money, he showed up and copied a copy of "Romance of the Gods" for them to publish, and sold it for money.

As soon as this book came out, it was immediately shocked, and it turned out that there was such a fascinating reading. The feeling of being adored by beautiful women is really good, Xiang Shaolong was so excited that he almost wanted to publish a copy of Qiong Yao's works, but he had to be praised by the beauties.

After Xiang Shaolong had an in-depth understanding of Li Si's work, he found that his work was not easy and there were many constraints.

Li Si said: "The powers of the left and right prime ministers overlap, and it is difficult to distinguish them. I am also exercising the power of the left minister on behalf of Brother Xiang, so I will naturally be troubled by Lu Buwei. ”

Xiang Shaolong asked, "How should these two prime ministers operate?" ”

Li Si said: "This starts with the Shang Ying's change of law during the filial piety period, and it should be the chief of the king and the great Liangzao." To King Huiwen, at that time, Shang Ying's Daliang and the chief of the army and politics in one, the merit was high, and the king of Huiwen was jealous, so he split the Shang Yang car in the city. From then on, the power was centralized in the king, and then the phase was placed on behalf of the Dashu long system, and the system was placed on behalf of the Daliang. Separate the government and the army. The prime minister is the head of the hundred officials, and later because the prime minister's position is too heavy, it is divided into the right prime minister and the left prime minister, roughly with the right prime minister in charge of the government, and the left prime minister in charge of the army, so the former is like the former chief, and the latter is made by Daliang. It is inherently difficult to separate the military from the government, and since the prime ministers on the left and right are both directly assisting the monarch, it is natural to consult them on matters decided by the monarch. The left and right prime ministers govern the country through the four courts, which are military administration, justice, taxation and public works, which are controlled by the four ministers of Sima, Sikou, Situ and Sikong. ”

Xiang Shaolong: "That is, even if I exercise the right of this left minister, it is inevitable that I will fight for power with Lu Buwei." The order is multi-door, the source of chaos. Is there any way to change this? ”

"Change is imperative. ”

Xiang Shaolong asked, "What does Brother Li think?" ”

Li Sidao: "I have been studying the reform of Shang Yang for the past six months, and I found that there are still many flaws and loopholes in the official system, so I have put some effort into drafting a more ideal system, and if it can be implemented, it will definitely achieve great governance." Even if the world is dominated in the future, it can be coped. My method is simple and easy, which is to set up a system of three princes and nine secretaries. The so-called three princes are to leave only one prime minister, who is the chief of a hundred officials and is in charge of government affairs. Then change the left prime minister to the captain, responsible for military affairs, and then set up the imperial history in addition to these two positions, responsible for the king's correspondence and supervision of his subordinates, the prime minister, the captain, the imperial history, not under the unified, only responsible to the king, the final ruling power is all vested in the king. ”

Li Si continued: "The so-called Jiuqing, most of them are my original official positions in Great Qin, but the division of powers is clearer. The three dukes are only responsible for assisting the king in governing state affairs, and the specific work in all aspects is in charge of the secretaries. For example, Fengsheng is in charge of the rituals of the temple, and there are officials such as Taile, Taizhu, Dazai, Taishi, Taipu, Taiyi, Tailingcheng and so on; Other Lang Zhongling, Wei Wei, Tai Servant, Ting Wei, Dianke, Zongzheng, Zhisu Neishi, Shaofu and other eight secretaries are also the same. Like the current three systems of the Praetorian Guard, the Metropolitan Guard, and the Metropolitan Cavalry, after the restructuring, they will all be under the command and management of the Guards, so as to avoid the current systems falling into each other's cover. ”
