Xiang Shaolong said: "My Great Qin doesn't have a huge family, and many years of war have also caused a lot of damage to these nobles. After the reshuffling of the world, the power of the nobles is not great, and His Majesty is the most powerful king in the past, they will not be able to become a climate in the short term, as long as they restrict their development, and now is the best time to limit them. ”

The First Emperor asked: "Just rely on what you said to let the common people read and break the monopoly of knowledge?" ”

Xiang Shaolong said: "Yes." Ordinary people are more likely to appreciate the emperor's grace, and the most important thing in the hearts of the children of these families must be the family, in troubled times, they will choose to sacrifice the country to protect the family. ”

The First Emperor asked, "If a person from a commoner background becomes an official, won't he form a huge force?" ”

Xiang Shaolong said: "People are selfish, they all want to grasp the greatest power, the more dispersed the forces, the more difficult it is to form a unified opinion, who is the boss?" The power of the grassroots comes from the king, and if he wants to go further, he must follow the king closely, which is not absolute, but in general, we have to protect the majority. If Your Majesty gives ordinary people the opportunity to study, they will be grateful to Your Majesty, will they rebel? For thousands of years, which king has treated the people so favorably, and if someone really rebels, they will also swear to defend His Majesty to the death for their own interests. These commoners and nobles are natural mortal enemies, and the rise of the commoner elite will naturally inhibit the development of the aristocracy. ”

The First Emperor frowned and said: "Everyone reads, how can there be so many official positions for them, and if they read but can't be officials, won't it arouse their dissatisfaction?" ”

Xiang Shaolong said: "There are also high and low reading levels, just those children of the family are all studying, some are elites, and some are wastes." Through the examination, people who are good at reading are selected to be officials. Let the common people have the opportunity to be officials, let the people of the world see the hope of breaking the solidification of the class, there is hope if there is a channel, if you want to be an official, you should study hard, if you can't, let your son and grandson continue to study, reading is better than rebellion. And reading makes people smart, no matter what you do, there are benefits, and smart people are better at farming than others. If you want to establish a graduate school like the one I mentioned earlier, you need people who can read and write. To be a doctor, you need to read, settle accounts, and be able to read, and the workers in my factory can read, which is convenient for management and can also improve work efficiency. When I first led the army, the soldiers had to read books so that it would be easier for them to understand strategic intentions and carry out tactical orders. In fact, no matter what industry, literate people are more competitive than illiterate. We specialize in every industry, such as farmland and water conservancy, medicine, metallurgy, construction, justice, etc., and let special people specialize in research. Like the construction of the Xiangyi, it was built because Li Bing, the Taishou of Shu County, was proficient in water conservancy, but if the local administrator didn't understand, wouldn't he repair it? In recent years, Zheng Guoqu and Lingqu have relied not on local administrators, but on professionals. The state can train these professionals specifically, instead of those who are full of nonsense, and even set up professional officials through professional examinations. In short, there are places to place them. Moreover, after reading and reading, it is easier to understand national policies, and it is not easy to be deceived and provoked by others to oppose the state. Your Majesty originally loved the people, but if some people with ulterior motives misinterpreted the holy will, making the people think that Your Majesty is cruel and the law is harsh, it is easy to cause turmoil. ”

The amount of information is too large, and it is difficult for the First Emperor to digest it all for a while, but some things can already be started gradually.

The imperial examination system was strongly promoted by the First Emperor, and now it is the peak of imperial power and the trough of the family. Although education has not yet been popularized, there are many poor scholars like Li Si, and many of them are attached to the family and act as doormen. Now that he can take the test for fame and enter the house, he is overjoyed, and his heart immediately flew out of the family and flew to the emperor.

Xiang Shaolong also suggested that martial arts could be opened, and both civil and military should be emphasized.

Although the First Emperor was a bit brutal and unkind, he was an extremely confident person, and he was one of the few emperors who did not kill generals and heroes. Although he can't say that he has complete trust in the generals, he is not afraid of them making waves.

The Academia Sinica, referred to as the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was established in a low-key manner under the auspices of Xiang Shaolong, which was the most important step for Xiang Shaolong to promote scientific research. He carefully sorted out all the natural science knowledge he knew and distributed it internally.

There is no need to waste time, starting from scratch, he has to force Chinese scientific research on the basis of what he knows.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, he first set up a framework, slowly cultivate talents, accumulate steadily, he may not see the day of take-off, but he has to lay a solid foundation and lay a solid foundation. This is probably the most important task he has ever taken since he crossed over. He is going to do it well with all his energy for the rest of his life, even at the cost of his own pocket.

At Xiang Shaolong's suggestion, the state suspended infrastructure construction, went all out to develop agriculture, reduced many taxes, and allowed the people to recuperate.

And Xiang Shaolong's main work is placed in the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and occasionally cares about the popularization of education and the imperial examination.

The whole country is thriving, and the people are getting richer and richer.

The First Emperor didn't know if he was too disappointed in Changsheng, and when he knew that his life was at the end of his life, his life began to turn to luxury.

In 212 B.C., the construction of the Afang Palace began.

At this time, the Qin Dynasty did not need to build the Great Wall, and the main project was the Qin Straight Road in addition to the construction of the imperial mausoleum, and it was carried out in an orderly manner under the attention of Xiang Shaolong, there was no problem of abuse of people's power, and the country has been very stable.

The sudden start of building palaces purely for pleasure, and the investment in imperial tombs also increased, which was a change in the mentality of the first emperor.

The First Emperor was a very diligent emperor, working day and night for the country, and the country also developed very well. He began to want to give back to his limited life, and this transformation made sense.

Xiang Shaolong knew that the First Emperor was not a faint monarch, and since he had made this kind of decision, he must have thought very clearly, so he did not open his mouth to advise.

Xiang Shaolong didn't say anything, but someone spoke up, it was the eldest prince Fusu.

As the eldest son of Qin Shi Huang, Fusu was destined to be extraordinary from birth, both civil and military, benevolent, caring for the people, and daring to speak out.

Fusu Gongzi felt that it was not advisable to build a large number of buildings and enslave the people simply for his own pleasure, which was completely different from the meaning of building a straight road, and it was not done by Renjun.

Of course, the First Emperor knew that this was not Renjun's doing, but he had put in so much effort for the country, and in exchange for the country's unprecedented strength, couldn't he treat himself? The whole world is his, what's wrong with building a palace, the eldest son of the emperor is tearing his face to accuse him, making him lose face.

The first emperor was furious and sent Fusu to the bitter cold land of Mobei and Mengtian's army as a supervisor, and he could not easily return to Xianyang.

The first emperor was angry and sent a fusu, and the government and the opposition were shaken.

Fusu Gongzi has always been considered to be the direct heir to the throne, the next emperor, I didn't expect to anger my father at this time, and was relegated to suffer outside the Seychelles, so will there be variables in the succession to the throne?

When Fusu left Xianyang, only Xiang Shaolong went to see him off.

In fact, Xiang Shaolong has never had a relationship with Fusu. The identities of both of them are unspeakably expensive, and they are too secret in the past for fear of causing the taboo of the First Emperor. This was the first time Xiang Shaolong took the initiative to meet Fusu.

Outside Xianyang City, in the long pavilion on the side of the road, Xiang Shaolong only brought an entourage, warmed a pot of sake, and waited quietly for Fusu Gongzi.

Fusu drove lightly from Jane, and went out of Xianyang alone, and was also surprised to see Xiang Shaolong on the left side of the road.

He has never had anything to do with Xiang Shaolong, this time he angered his father, and the ministers avoided him, and Xiang Shaolong actually dared to come out to send him off.

Xiang Shaolong looked at Fusu Gongzi, his appearance was handsome, slightly downcast, far from being as heroic as before.

Xiang Shaolong, as the emperor's teacher, and awarded the title of King of Jin, Fusu did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and said: "I have seen His Royal Highness the King of Jin." ”

Xiang Shaolong said: "No need to be polite. You and I rarely communicate, you leave this time, go to the outside of the Saiwai, I will prepare a little wine, see you off. ”

Fusu said: "Thank you King Jin." I angered my father this time, and only the King of Jin dared to send me off. Alas! The construction of the Afang Palace was too heavy for the servitude of the people. I have made a decision in the world of Daqin, and the people's hearts are not stable, so it is really not appropriate to use the people's power excessively. I just want my father to be sympathetic to the people, and it is also for the sake of my Great Qin. I left this time, and I don't know when I will come back. ”

Xiang Shaolong said: "Knowing the son Mo Ruo's father, Your Majesty is not a faint monarch, I believe Your Majesty can understand your intentions." ”

Fusu said: "Then the father still reprimanded me outside the Saiwai? ”

Xiang Shaolong said: "It is indeed hard to go outside, but it is not derogatory. General Meng Tian is the No. 1 fierce general of my Great Qin, and he is very important there, but not everyone can go there. His Majesty rushed to the front line of defending the city at the age of nine, and the difficult environment created a tenacious character. As the eldest son of the emperor, it is smooth sailing and you have not experienced any hardship, which is not necessarily a good thing. Looking at your decadent appearance now, I think Your Majesty is doing this for your own good. ”

Fusu's eyes lit up and asked, "What does Father mean ......?"

Xiang Shaolong smiled and said: "Your Majesty's meaning, we don't have to speculate, whether this trip is good or bad with you depends on yourself, I have said all this, I wish you a smooth journey!" ”

Fusu took Xiang Shaolong's toast in high spirits, drank it all, and said happily: "Thank you King Jin for your strong travel, Fusu will never live up to his father's painstaking efforts." He has the opportunity to return to King Jin again. Leave! ”

Leaving Looking at the figure of Fusu Gongzi struggling when he left, Xiang Shaolong sighed secretly, this is a regrettable eldest son of the emperor.

"Mo Shangren is like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world", Fusu is valuable in benevolence, but in the end he also died of mercy.

Xiang Shaolong saw off Fusu, but naturally he couldn't escape the eyes and ears of the first emperor. The First Emperor naturally knew that they had never interacted, and it was very surprising that Xiang Shaolong would dare to come forward to see him off at this time.

The First Emperor summoned Xiang Shaolong and asked, "No one went to send Fusu, only you went." As far as I know, you don't have any friendships, do you want to convey to me that you also support Fusu? ”
