Chapter 192: To the South or to the North?
Chapter 192: To the South or to the North?
After returning to Xianyang City, everyone retired from Yingzheng and went home.
Hu Hai didn't understand Yingzheng's final meaning, so he immediately found Li Si and humbly asked: "Li Xiang." β
Li Si frowned slightly, he didn't want to see this Huhai prince very much now, but the identity of the other party was still suppressed, and he had no choice but to say without yin or yang: "Eighteen." Childe, what's the matter? β
When Hu Hai saw Li Si's attitude, he couldn't wait to step forward and beat Li Si violently, and then tell me well, what the hell I asked you, that is to lift you, don't be ashamed.
But the reality is that he has to bow his head, and Hu Hai, who was invincible in the past, can only bow his head and smile: "Li Xiang, what does the last sentence of my father mean?" Please also ask Li Xiang to give advice. β
Li Si sneered, and said in his heart: "If I don't learn and have no skills, how can I be blinded by lard and support you to become Qin II." β
said on his lips: "Your Majesty doesn't want the glass to flow into the hands of ordinary people, Your Majesty wants to deal with the nobles."
I regret that your current identity is embarrassing, so this matter must be done, otherwise it will ...... Alas, you can do it yourself. β
"Thank you Li Xiang for your advice." Hu Hai said respectfully.
After he saw Li Si leave, the smile on his original face suddenly became very hideous.
"Dogs look down on people, and sooner or later I will make you all regret it."
Soon he returned to his house.
After Fusu returned home, he immediately found Xiao He and others.
"See the Prince."
"You don't need to be polite." Fusu said, "When I talk about business, I want to apologize to everyone, after recruiting you to Xianyang City, I didn't leave any arrangements, and left with my father." β
"The villain doesn't dare." Xiao He and the others were flattered.
Fusu said: "Your father already knows about your existence. β
Everyone was shocked, they didn't expect that a group of their small people would actually enter the ears of the First Emperor, which was really exciting.
"Prince, I don't know what Your Majesty commands?" Han Xin immediately asked.
Fusu said: "Tomorrow morning, my father asked me to take Xiao He with me. As for the others, the father has not made any arrangements. β
Xiao He was suddenly extremely excited, Han Xin's face became a little dark, and Fan Hao and the others were happy for Xiao He.
Xiao He immediately stood up and said, "Prince, what should the villain do tomorrow morning?" β
"The ministers may make things difficult for you, and all you have to do is show your talents and make the officials speechless." Fusu said.
"Please rest assured that the villain will definitely behave well and live up to the prince's good name." Xiao He said solemnly.
Fusu nodded and said, "Very good." β
Then he looked at Han Xin and the others, and said: "Happy, I know that you have the posture of a marshal, and now the places where Great Qin uses troops are the Xiongnu in the north and the Baiyue in the south."
My mentor told me that the Xiongnu in the north were the real enemies of Great Qin, and if this enemy was not destroyed, Great Qin would never be at peace.
Baiyue in the south has the support of the Great Qin granary, and if Baiyue is captured, the military rations of the imperial court will be guaranteed, and the tax pressure of the people will be reduced.
Now, I'll give you a choice, do you want to go south or north? β
"Prince, the villain is dull, the Xiongnu in the north is the mortal enemy of Daqin, the villain can understand, but the Baiyue in the south is the granary of Daqin, the villain is very puzzled, can you solve the confusion of the villain." Han Xin asked.
Fusu smiled: "This is because there is rice in the south, which can be doubled or even three crops a year, and the yield is higher than that of wheat."
Although potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes have been widely promoted, the yield is also very amazing, and they can be used as food, but this is not a long-term solution, rice and wheat are the staple foods we often eat.
I didn't understand it before, but now we know that the land of Baiyue must be taken. And the people didn't know about it, so the court had to let everyone know about it.
Xiao He, you can think about this question. β
"Thank you for the reminder." Xiao He said happily,
Fusu continued: "Han Xin, you can think about it with everyone, and if you decide, I will write a letter of recommendation to Meng Tian or Wang Ben, and ask you to go to them.
Because you are all people who want to be generals, you need to make military achievements. β
"The villain understands." Han Xin said, "The villain is willing to go to the north and help General Meng Tian defeat the Xiongnu completely." β
"Okay." Fusu smiled, "I'll fix a book now, and you can take it with you and go." β
"No."
Soon, Fusu wrote a letter and handed it to Han Xin, saying, "I believe in you, you will definitely not let me down." β
"Please rest assured, the prince will not disappoint the prince." Happy and others responded at the same time.
Subsequently, Han Xin left Xianyang City with Fan Hao and a few people, and hurried to Mobei.
Originally, the people brought by Fusu from Pei County were left with Xiao He still in the Prince's Mansion.
β¦β¦
After Li Si returned home, he immediately went to the study to write about the three systems of the imperial examination system, the cabinet system and the provincial system.
In addition to this, Li Si also had an important thing to do, and that was to reformulate the Qin law.
Because of the implementation of benevolent government, the existing Qin laws are too strict and need to be revised.
For example, everyone is in the Prime Minister's Mansion today, which can be described as 3,000 doormen, and the momentum is not inferior to the scene when LΓΌ Buwei wrote and asked the doormen to write "LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn".
Originally, the disciples of the Legalists all came to Xianyang City with a hot mood to participate in such a great cause as revising Qin Law with Li Si.
However, they had not yet started the revision, but they found that Li Si had left Xianyang City with the First Emperor, and the modification was delayed again and again.
Today, Lees is back.
Li Si's younger brother Jia Xu came to the study to see Li Si, Li Si was helpless and met Jia Xu first.
"Senior brother, now that almost all the people of the Legalist family have arrived in Xianyang, when will we revise the Qin law?" Jia Xu asked.
Li Si replied, "Senior brother, I will be busy with other things recently, and you will be responsible for the revision of Qin Law."
His Majesty wants to enforce benevolent government, so His Majesty has reduced the penal code to a minimum. β
"What's light and what's heavy?" Jia Xu asked.
Li Si replied: "In the case of roosters and dogs, the offender can be punished with criminal detention and a board."
Murder pays for life, if it is not a heinous person, it will be executed after the autumn and beheaded.
And ......"
With the example given by Li Si, Jia Xu understood what benevolence is, compared with the current Qin law, the law in Li Si's mouth is not a law, but a rule, and if you are wrong, you can be punished.
"Senior brother, is such a punishment too light, the rooster cries and the dog steals will definitely happen frequently." Jia Xu said worriedly.
"I know, so for repeat offenders, criminal law is added, and first-time offenders are given warnings, custodial punishments, or corporal punishments, depending on the seriousness of the circumstances.
In the case of a repeat offender, a custodial sentence shall be given, a corporal sentence shall be added to the corporal punishment in the case of three offenders, and a detention period shall be increased in the case of a fourth offender. β
Some people died, but not completely......
