Chapter 147: Book burning, book burning, Li Si's ruthlessness
Spiritual unity is a hundred times more difficult than physical unity.
The unity of the flesh.
Great Qin drove more than 1.5 million prisoners to build roads, canals, cities, palaces, and mausoleums.
After Great Qin unified the world, the flesh of the people of all countries in the world, together with the Qin people, was also driven.
Today's Great Qin, to a certain extent, has completed the road of physical unification of the people of the world.
Suppress the flesh of all those who dare to resist with absolute force.
Unity of spirit.
It includes the unity of Qin's thought, the unity of Qin's culture, the unity of Qin's will, and the unity of Qin's ideology and morality.
At this point, the hundred schools of thought are still prevalent, the people of the world still have the concept of foreigners, the scholars of the world are still talking about Qin as a barbarian, and the different hearts of the nobles in the world are enough to show that the road to spiritual unification of Daqin is still in its infancy.
Unifying the written word is only a means of spiritual unity, not the result.
The road to spiritual unity is difficult and cruel.
In the history of China, every ideological struggle was extremely cruel, and even caused turmoil in the mountains and rivers, and corpses were everywhere.
And for today's Daqin.
Confucianism was the biggest stumbling block to Heng Chen's spiritual path to the unification of the Great Qin.
A huge group.
A group of people who claim to be Confucian, pretentious, and self-recognized to stabilize the world.
A school of thought that has a core idea and extends to countless branches.
This has resulted in the formation of a unified group in spirit.
Faced with such a group, Daqin had only two choices, either digesting it or destroying it.
If the spirit of a race cannot be digested, then the simplest way is to destroy its body.
Let him disappear from this world.
The long history of China, if you read it carefully, is a huge race with a very serious sense of group.
It's the same as herding sheep.
If a flock of sheep does not want to graze in one place, the flock does not move together, but is led by one or more of the leaders, and then the whole flock moves with the leader.
The shepherd, on the other hand, usually beats the leader back with a 'water drift', so that the sheep can eat in place for a long time.
The same.
If someone opposed the decree of the Great Qin, it must not be the collective opposition of the entire Confucian group, but the leaders of Confucianism, such figures as the leaders and leaders took the lead in standing up against it, and then set off a huge collective rebellion.
And want to deal with such groups.
The simplest and most effective way.
Establish an obedient leader who is good enough to lead the group.
Then eliminate other people who can lead this part of the group.
Let this large group obey the dictates of obedient leaders.
Settle!
Yingcheng does not regret his actions today, even if it will eventually fall to the point of no return.
From the beginning, the propaganda compound was not a place to be rendered as a cultural mecca.
It's just a temporary, site to launch the 'Spark Project'.
In his opinion.
A unified dynasty must be the unity of political power and military.
For such a dynasty, if there is a cancer that is hidden in the unity and stability, it cannot give the tumor room to continue to grow, and it is the right way to deal with it without hesitation.
It's not right or wrong!
Equally.
In such a dynasty to change the law.
If you just rely on your enthusiasm to change the Fa, he recommends not doing it.
If you have a 30% military force, then you can try it.
If you have seventy percent of the military power, then it is worth doing it with all your might.
And if you have 10% of the military power in your hands, you will definitely succeed.
Yingcheng will not disclose the so-called tonight, and even he will suppress the news until the day when he can't suppress it, and prepare the means to deal with it.
Now, of course, there are some people he has to tell.
Like what.
Just as Yingcheng was staring at the soldiers of the Lishan battalion filling the huge pit back to the propaganda compound to rest.
Lee's house, inside the study!
Li Si stared gloomily at the secret letter from Yingcheng.
"It's too early, if this news can't be contained, it will interfere with my next actions."
"But that's right, if there is no action on either side of the propaganda compound, there will be a lot of chaos, it is the old man who is slow to prepare, Da Lesi has already acted, and the Propaganda Department must cooperate."
"It seems that the old man can only forcibly control it!"
Li Si stared at the secret letter for a long time with twinkling eyes, threw it into the fireplace, and then quickly wrote on a piece of paper: "Three days, give me three days!" ”
After writing, Li Si sealed the content, handed it to the black armor guard who came to deliver the message, and said, "Quickly hand it over to the Great Law Order." ”
The Black Guards quickly took the order to leave.
And Li Si, who quickly got dressed, instructed Steward Li: "Prepare the car, and also pass on Feng Quji, Tingwei Lingjiangcheng, Zhisu Neishi Mansion Lingnei Shi Teng, Tingwei Si Yan Huai, Commercial Si Ba Chen, and Industry Division, go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to discuss matters." ”

"By the way, Hu Xiu is going to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
With that, Li Si hurriedly went to the Xianyang Palace.
Xianyang Palace is not the scope of the harem, but the official office of the officials, and it is a large central office and political seat.
With Li Si's weight, don't say enter Xianyang Palace late at night.
Even if it is blocked at the door of the harem, he wants to see the First Emperor in the middle of the night, and the First Emperor is doing sports, so he has to lie down from the bed to see Li Si.
Prime Minister's Office.
Feng Quji, who came scolding, was very dissatisfied with Li Si and said: "Li Si, you are getting younger and younger, but you can't drag my old and weak body to discuss things in the middle of the night!" ”
"What is so urgent?"
There was no one around, and Li Si immediately whispered: "I just received a secret letter from the prison state, and tonight, he killed all the leaders and leaders of Confucianism. ”
Hearing this, Feng Qu roared like thunder: "Is he crazy in Yingcheng? ”
"Didn't you say that we would discuss this matter together and then make a decision?"
He didn't know what kind of consequences would be brought about by doing this, and how much it would hurt him when those Confucian students made trouble...... Forget it, I'm so angry, isn't there any other way to do it? ”
"Seek stability, Duke Li, Your Majesty is not in the court, now you and I are asking for stability, stable spring ploughing, stable summer and autumn, even if there is a big thing in the world, there will be no big chaos, I just ask you to do well, don't mess around!"
Feng Quji's head was about to explode.
He also knows a little about the propaganda compound, but he knows what to do.
And about this, he is strongly opposed.
Even if the butcher's knife is raised at the end, it should be carefully screened and then screened to kill a small number of people.
In particular, it is not allowed to lynch things, and it is necessary to kill them openly.
But now.
The third watch buried people in the middle of the night?
Directly scared to wake up.
"That's it, it's just a little bit of a buried, what are you nervous about?"
"In essence, the contradiction between the eight schools of Confucianism is not the result of my Great Qin's domination of the world, and if you look at the anti-Qin attitude of Confucianism, you will understand that people do not claim to be like Jiangdong at all."
"As far as Confucianism and our Great Qin are concerned, it is a contradiction in national policy and ideology, and this contradiction is an irreconcilable contradiction between the rule of law in our Great Qin and the rule of law in Confucianism and the rule of etiquette."
"In my Great Qin, if I break the law, the first thing that prevails is whether a person's behavior violates the law of my Great Qin, and what Confucianism pursues is whether the person's words and deeds violate the so-called benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith."
"Even the Confucian law of the Sun family of the Ruchun Yuyue faction is to condemn according to virtue, not law, which is the most fundamental contradiction."
Li Si smiled suddenly, and did not feel inappropriate about what Yingcheng did.
Of course, Feng Quji understands this truth, but all the governance of the country needs to seek stability, and he can't rush for quick success and quick profit, and his behavior is too radical.
Before he could refute a few words, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.
But it was Jiang Cheng, Nei Shi Teng, Yan Huai, Ba Chen and others who hurried over.
"Meet Gong Li, Gong Feng, is this something important?" As soon as he came, Nesten had an inquiry that he wanted to scold his mother.
In the middle of the night, the quilt was just hot, and it was called to wake up and urged, can you not be anxious, your face has not been washed, and you are still lost in the lake.
"It's all here!"
Li Si nodded, got up and walked to the teapot, to pour tea for a few people, Jiang Cheng hurriedly took over when he saw it, and Li Si sat down.
"I'm really embarrassed to hand everyone over late at night, the old man explained a few things and went to do it overnight!" Li Si sat down and said unceremoniously:
"Hu Xiu, the world's bamboo slips and silk books, how much can your Hu family firm control?"
Hu Xiu hurriedly got up and replied: "Seventy percent!" ”
The rest of the people heard Li Si's direct order, and they were also positive, knowing that this time the matter was not only serious, but also very urgent.
You must know that since Li Si became the prime minister of Zuo, it is rare to directly deploy the officials below the order.
Li Si raised his hand, asked Hu Xiu to sit down and replied, and asked again: "Whose hands are the other three percent?" ”
"Qidi Kong's, Sun's, and Meng's all have one percent, and the other one is in the hands of Yangzhou Commercial Bank, which belongs to the old nobles of Chu, and the other one is a private retail household, which is widely distributed." Hu Xiu sat down and replied quickly.
Li Si nodded and said, "You have to understand that since you are an official, there are some things that you have to give up. ”
"The bamboo slips and silk books are all transferred to the county treasury, and all the bamboo slips and silk book workshops of the Hu family are all discontinued, give you six days, and the parts that have not been transferred to the treasury after six days will be burned!"
"The price of all the bamboo slips and silk books of Hu's Commercial Bank has directly increased by a hundred times on the original basis."
"The imperial court will issue a decree prohibiting the cutting of bamboo!"
Hearing Li Si's words, the few people sitting there were all startled and looked at Li Si in disbelief.
Violence control!
Immediately, they looked at Feng Quji one by one.
This method of price control has only been used once in decades, and that is the regulation of corn prices.
Someone once bypassed the Hu family and secretly purchased a large amount of corn, which caused the price of corn to soar all the way, and the price of private corn even skyrocketed tenfold.
Even now, the price of corn has not recovered.
Under normal circumstances, the imperial court basically does not do this kind of coercive regulation.
"Be careful not to affect other industries, especially the workers who make bamboo slips and silk books, and arrange a good place, if it is really impossible to arrange, discuss with the Department of Industry, and arrange it by the imperial court." Feng Qu responded.
"The merchant girl obeys!" Hu Xiu sighed in his heart and agreed.
It is not difficult to transport the silk books, but the important thing is that the industry of cutting down bamboo and making silk books can feed too many people.
But this can't be helped!
"The Department of Industry will get the remaining thirty percent, the seal that should be sealed, sealed from the source, within six days, I don't want to buy bamboo slips and silk books on the market." Li Si ordered mercilessly.
"The Zhisu Inner History Mansion will make every effort to purchase all the gradual silk books in circulation on the market, and how many will be collected, and from now on, bamboo slips and silk books will be used as war materials."
"In addition, the Department of Commerce finally sorted out the business travel from all over the country, and then went to the Soohe Plain to wait, waiting for the old man's notice to pull paper in the super workshop, you agree on the process with the prison country, as for the price of the paper, it is bounded by Hangu Pass,
Outside the Hangu Pass, the price is raised by one dollar every ten miles,
In Hangu Pass, there are more than ten pieces of paper for every ten miles of land,
In Xianyang, one penny and one hundred pieces of paper. ”
"Tingwei, Jiangcheng, Tingwei issued an order to ban the collection of books in the Six Kingdoms, and those who possess the collection of books in the Six Kingdoms will automatically hand them over to the imperial court for compensation, and those who are seized by Tingwei will be punished for treason.
"Confiscate the world's collection of books, whether it is bamboo books, silk books, and all documents with the scripts of the six countries in the past, and secretly hide them for crimes."
"Old man, no matter what method you use, you will destroy the Jixia School Palace, the Kong family will be destroyed by the old man, and the collection of books inside, the old man will see it in Xianyang Palace, and if he can't get it, then destroy it."
Ruthless.
At this time, Li Si was crazy and ruthless.
The big Prime Minister's Mansion, a few people, couldn't help but swallow a breath of cool air.
I couldn't help but think of a terrible word.
Collect the Book of the World.
Such a thing has not been thought of before.
It's just that the cost is too great, and the blow to the world's learning is extraordinary, so no one dares to implement it.
I just didn't expect it.
Li Si actually wanted to do this this time.
Moreover, it is necessary to completely destroy the Jixia School Palace.
The sensation caused here is extremely terrifying.
The governance of the world is not about the number of people, let alone the number of officials, but how many learned people have the talent for governance.
And this move.
It is undoubtedly to completely shut out the world's scholars.
But.
But there was no objection.
Li Si is giving orders with absolute authority, and it is Li Si's fault that he is wrong, such an order, unless the First Emperor comes forward to stop it, otherwise, no one can stop it.
It's going to be messy.
It's really going to be messy!
Just when the Prime Minister's Mansion ordered Li Si, the details were discussed.
The city gates of Xianyang City were knocked open by a team of messengers.
In a flash.
Bands of cavalry galloped along nine galloping paths towards the land in all directions.
This post after another carried the decree that the Prime Minister's Office had just discussed.
And this decree.
It will surely set off a boundless storm.
And it was in this short night.
Two extremely far-reaching things happened.
Book burning!
This time, it is not a trap to kill a monk, let alone a burning of books in chaos.
It is the real pit and killing of Confucianism and Confucianism, and the destruction of the book collection and cultural centers of the Six Kingdoms.
