CHAPTER XX

In the Xianyang Palace, the First Emperor looked at the list in his hand and said to Li Si and Yao Jia below: "Hmph! These remnants of the Six Nations are really loyal, their masters have given up, and they still don't give up. ”

Yao Jia said: "Your Majesty, if the descendants of the six royal families don't die for a day, they won't give up for a day, and the minister thinks that it is better to kill these descendants of the royal family and cut off the thoughts of these remnants!" ”

Li Si said: "These anti-Qin are actually not for the descendants of these six royal families, but for themselves. Even if His Majesty kills these royal descendants, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms still have an excuse to oppose Qin. ”

"Do you want to ignore these people?" Yao Jia said angrily.

"Naturally, I can't ignore it, the reason why I dare to oppose Qin is because although I have a great Qin that dominates the world, I have not completely won the hearts of the people in Kwantung. In the world of those who win the hearts of the people, as long as I Daqin wins the hearts of the people at the pass, no one will respond to these thieves, and these thieves will naturally not be attacked. Lees said.

"How do you win the hearts and minds of the people? Is it impossible to send money to the people of Kanto? Yao Jia frowned and said.

Li Si said with a smile: "Naturally, it's not to send money, in fact, the people's lives are fields, although my Daqin dominates the world and sets up counties, but the well field system in the Kanto region has not been completely abolished, and the people have no land in their hands, so naturally they don't have a sense of belonging to my Daqin." ”

"Your Majesty, we should speed up the popularization of the Qin law in the Kanto region, abolish the Jingtian system, and at the same time spread out the law of governing the country to win the hearts of the people of the world!"

Yao Jia heard what Li Si meant, in fact, he wanted to implement the governing law proposed by Li Si before. Yao Jia was one of the opposing factions, so he naturally stood up and said: "Governing the country and changing the law still needs to be discussed, and it can't be done at once." ”

The first emperor put the list out and said: "Urge local officials to implement the abolition of the well field system as soon as possible, and if there is resistance, they will be directly exterminated." Comprehensively roll out the new Qin law, and as for the rest, let's let it go first. ”

The First Emperor made a final decision, even if Yao Jia had the heart to oppose it, it would be useless. Yao Jia knew that everything he was doing now was given by the First Emperor, and if he blatantly opposed it, he might not be able to do well.

After leaving the main hall, Yao Jia stopped Li Si and asked, "Lord Li Si, the new change to activate the Hundred Schools of Sons doesn't seem to be beneficial to you, right?" Why did you bring it up? You're not like that, are you? ”

Li Si said with a smile: "I, Li Si, first learned from Master Xun and then joined the Legalist, and I know that gathering the strengths of hundreds of schools is the right way to govern the country." ”

"It seems that Yao Jia's eyes are lowered, and Lord Li Si is Gao Zhi." Yao Jia arched his hand and said.

"Lord Yao, His Majesty the Emperor has the heart to change the law, and no one can stop it, otherwise if something happens to Great Qin, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms will not let us wait, so Great Qin is here, and we can live." At this point, Master Yao should think about it for himself. After speaking, Li Si turned and left.

Yao Jia glanced at Li Si's back, turned his head to look at the Xianyang Hall, and then exhaled a long breath, and then slowly left.

After Yao Jia and Li Si left, a man wearing soft armor and a mask appeared in the main hall.

The First Emperor said: "Send the heads of those four Chu people to the people of the Xiong clan, and knock them out." ”

"No!"

The First Emperor then asked, "What happened to Xi?" ”

The man arched his hand and said, "Childe has been in the ceramic factory outside the city now, saying that he is burning words." ”

"Burn words?" The First Emperor was immediately puzzled, how could the words be burned? coughed and said, "Xi wants to set up a trading house, you send a few clever people over." ”

"No!"

"Let's go down." The First Emperor waved his hand and said.

In the blink of an eye, the man vanished, and the First Emperor got up and threw the bamboo slip with the list on it to the ground.

The eunuchs on the side hurriedly picked it up and threw it into the stove to burn it.

The First Emperor changed into civilian clothes, and then quietly left the palace under the escort of the guards.

The First Emperor looked at the debates that could be seen everywhere in Xianyang City, most of which were arguing about the content of the changes, although they had not yet been implemented, but there were already two factions that supported and dissupported.

Of course, if not all of the people who don't support it, at least the lightweight Qin Law opportunity is supported by everyone, but not many people support the opening of a folk school and the opening of the hundred schools of Zhuzi.

The First Emperor knew that in fact, the key to the latter two was paper, and although paper had been produced in large quantities, it took time to copy the classics, and it took even more time to popularize the entire Great Qin.

There is also money, now the treasury of Great Qin is not very abundant, and if you want to complete the construction of the school, you need a lot of money, so the first emperor is now implementing some changes in governing the country, but he is unable to implement it.

After the first emperor's chariot and horse left Xianyang City, they went directly to the direction of the ceramic factory. The report of the secret guard just now has aroused the curiosity of the First Emperor, so many days have passed, and I don't know what good things Qin Xi can come up with.

At this time, Qin Xi was carefully assembling the ceramic character blocks in his hand in a room of an earthen house.

Assemble the pieces together in a frame, then blacken them with ink, put them on a piece of paper and brush them over and over again.

Qin Xi put the brush aside, and then carefully lifted the paper from it. Turning it over and looking, I saw that there were small seal characters on the paper, but in some places because the words were too complicated, it was not clear at all.

Qin Xi walked out of the room with the first printed paper, and then looked at the sky and sighed helplessly.

The small seal is too complicated, even those scholars may not be able to write a beautiful small seal, let alone ordinary people? It is simply difficult to complete universal education in this era.

"What's the matter?"

Qin Xi turned his head and found that it was his father.

Qin Xi smiled bitterly: "I found that I was still too naïve. ”

Zhao Zheng smiled and said: "You are still young, so why not be naïve." ”

Qin Xi shook his head, spread out the paper in his hand to Zhao Zheng, and said: "Qin Seal is too complicated and difficult to write, and it is simply too difficult for ordinary people to be literate, let alone write and read." If the school is really opened, not many people will be able to learn. ”

Zhao Zheng frowned and said: "My Great Qin's Qin Seal is already the most beautiful and simple font in the world, it seems that opening a school to educate the world can really only be thought about." But also, what Confucius couldn't do back then, how could it be simple. ”

Qin Xi clenched his fists and said, "No, I want to promote simplified characters!" Supplemented by pinyin, it will definitely be possible! ”

Without waiting for Zhao Zheng to speak, Qin Xi said: "Dad, help me find some people who can write and read, the more the better, I want to create new words, simpler words!" ”

Zhao Zheng was taken aback and said: "You write some first and give them to your father, and your father must report to His Majesty the Emperor, otherwise you will be regarded as a thief of the Six Kingdoms." ”

"Okay, I'll write it!" Qin Xi forgot that after the first emperor ordered the book to be written in the same text, the world could only write Qin seals, and if he wanted to promote simplified characters, he had to get the emperor's permission.

However, Qin Xi is confident that simplified Chinese characters will definitely satisfy the First Emperor, after all, simplified Chinese characters are the essence of thousands of years of inheritance and evolution in China!
