Sima Tian Chong, the Grand Master of Qi, sent the mission of the Qin State to be successfully achieved.

After a short period of speculation, the Qi convoy loaded many treasures and gifts from Qin Wangzheng and embarked on the road back to Qi.

Zhao Tuo welcomed Da Sima into the customs in the past, and today he should naturally send Da Sima out of the customs, with a beginning and an end, which is the way of hospitality.

Outside Hangu Pass, the sun is just right, the green mountains are green cypresses, and the yellow birds are singing.

The subtlety of Da Sima's art of war made Zhao Tuo admire. In the past, the matter of Zhencheng was actually Zhao Tuo's conspiracy out of treachery, rather than a fair fight with Da Sima, so far I think about it, Zhao Tuo is very ashamed in his heart, and he should confess to Da Sima today. ”

As soon as the words fell, the waiter, who had been prepared, immediately brought the drink.

Zhao Tuo raised his glass and saluted the big Sima Tian Chong in front of him.

Looking at the "sincere" young general in front of him, Tian Chong felt the "sincerity" of the other party, took the wine with a smile, and drank it all.

He bowed his head and said: "General Zhao has a heart, just like you said in the past, the soldiers are also treacherous." However, the trick of trickery can only be for temporary gain, not for long-term gain. If you use your troops to win with treachery, will the enemy be able to defend against it in the future? Once the adversary is on guard, or even calculated, all you do is bring about your own destruction. Therefore, it is better to follow the right path of soldiers, which is the way to win. ”

Zhao Tuo said sincerely: "What Da Sima said is that if there is a chance in the future, Zhao Tuo should go to Qi and then ask Da Sima the art of war." ”

Tian Chong thought that what he said was similar to yesterday's art of war deduction, and said with a smile: "Then I will wait for General Zhao." ”

After a "farewell", the two told each other.

"Da Sima walks slowly."

Under Zhao Tuo's eyes, Tian Chong got into the messenger's car, and the mighty Qi convoy drove up Sanchuan Avenue.

"Da Sima is indeed a master of the art of war."

Zhao Tuo shook his head.

Tian Chong's attainments in the art of war are indeed very high, Zhao Tuo doesn't know whether Wang Ben and Meng Wu have released water in the art of war deduction, anyway, he Zhao Tuo is indeed not the opponent of Da Sima in the chessboard fight, and he was killed by Tian Chong.

After all, Tian Chong is known as a "soldier idiot", who has painstakingly studied the art of war in the house for more than 20 years, and has profound attainments.

He Zhao Tuo has studied the art of war for less than five years, and it is normal for him to not be an opponent on a theoretical basis.

"It's a pity that Da Sima's strength is only limited to deduction."

Zhao Tuo sighed.

In the Qin Palace, all the generals were defeated by the hands of the Great Sima, but they were just following the example of Changping touting Ma Fuzi in the past, and won a greater advantage for the Qin State's next war of annihilation.

In the world of great contention, the nations are fighting, and they are deceitful and deceitful, and they do everything they can.

Looking at the Qi convoy in the distance, it disappeared into the billowing smoke and dust.

Zhao Tuo whispered: "The bird will strike, and the wings will be lowly flying; The beast will fight, and the ears will fall down; The saints will move, and there will be foolishness. ”

"What we do is also the art of war."

……

After sending off the Great Sima of the Qi Kingdom, Xianyang City fell into calm again.

However, the brief calm was soon broken, because at the next court meeting, Qin Wangzheng announced a new order.

"Qin Lu said: If you are not Shi Zi, you don't dare to study the school, and those who violate the order are guilty."

"However, today Qin has merged the five countries, and ruled according to the land of the princes, and the land is large and the city is full of people and widows, which makes it difficult for the government decree of the widow to be conveyed to the land of Shandong, and the government decree is not passable, which is the reason for a strong country."

Therefore, we should follow what Shang Jun said: Legislate at that time, and make rituals according to events. Etiquette and law are determined by the time, and the system and order are in their own way. Today, Zhao Tuo suggested that the children of those who won the knighthood could also enter the room, so as to increase the number of Qin officials and distribute the land of Shandong, so as to promote the virtue of the widow and promulgate the laws of the Qin State. The widow said: Yes. ”

"Those with titles and above, regardless of whether they are orders or history, can enter the room. After completing the assessment, you can become a grammar official in various places to consolidate the Qin soil. ”

With the promulgation of the revised law by the Qin Dynasty, the Qin court did not cause major waves.

Many ministers and ministers have already heard about it, and they have been prepared in their hearts, and they all bow down to their orders at this moment, and no one opposes it.

Seeing this, Zhao Tuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

This was his first test of Qin Lu, and now that he saw that no one in the court raised objections, he suddenly felt relieved.

As long as this is the beginning, if you want to gain Qin Fa in the future, it will be a little easier.

"But don't take it lightly. Since ancient times, opponents of the new law have risen up and resisted because the new law infringes on their interests. If the new law is harmless to it, unless there are those who eat the ancients, there will always be a minority who speak out against it. ”

For Zhao Tuo, the reason why he chose to start with the law of "admission room qualification" was not only to strengthen the country and benefit the people, but also to help consolidate the rule of Qin over the princes' hometowns, but also because the change of this law would not affect the interests of many ministers.

In the Qin State, in addition to the selection system of officials, in addition to recruitment, recommendation, and military merits, there is also a very important one, that is, Baozi.

If the parents are officials, their children can enjoy the blessings of their fathers and embark on the road of entering the office.

The children of high-ranking officials such as Li Xin, Li You, and Meng Tian, after they became adults, were selected to enter the Qin Palace as Lang.

The school, in fact, is also a kind of Baozi system, but it is a privilege for grass-roots civil servants such as Ling and Shi, whose children can enter the "disciple status", and after completing their studies, they will become grammar officials and embark on official careers.

Therefore, Zhao Tuo proposed to increase the qualifications for the children of the nobles to enter the school, expanding the selection scope of low-level officials, but it had no impact on the upper-level ministers and ministers.

The two are not on the same track.

Moreover, most of these newly cultivated school children are to be sent to the hometowns of the princes outside the customs to be grass-roots grammar officials, so there is no conflict of interest.

In addition, this law is indeed beneficial to the kingdom and has the support of the king, so the court echoed it.

In addition to the ministers in the court, this revision of the law also considered that it would touch the interests and privileges of the original decree and Shi Zidi, so there were some stricter regulations on the specific implementation.

For example, the number of children enrolled in the school is not unlimited, but the number of officials required is limited.

The original children of Ling and Shi have priority, and after recruiting them, they will begin to absorb the children of those who have knights according to their titles.

And through the consultation of the Lord Lieutenant and the Court Lieutenant, the State Lieutenant and other institutions, the title of the Lord Lieutenant and the Captain of the State will be set at the third rank and above.

First, this title can be obtained by cutting off people's heads on the battlefield, and there are not a few people who have this title, which can achieve the purpose of greatly increasing the number of officials.

Second, it highlights the preciousness of the title of Qin. Gongshi and Shangzao can only get some land, if you want to find a good future for your children, you should work hard to get a knighthood, which is enough to make some Qin people even more crazy for the title.

Although there are various restrictions in the specific law, its significance is not only to strengthen the country, but also to open a way for the children of the low-level who have no official status to enter the office.

Qin Wangzheng praised the dynasty: "Zhao Qing said to the widow that it is easy to conquer the land of the princes, but it is difficult to govern and subdue. The widows are like Zhao Qing, and they should make suggestions and suggestions for the cause of the widows to dominate the world, so as to help our Qin State to determine the four seas. ”

"Only, we should learn from the lesser."

All the ministers bowed and praised together, and many people's eyes fell on Zhao Tuo, full of surprise.

This law was actually proposed by Zhao Tuo.

Isn't this person a military general, how can he still know the art of governing the country?

He even raised a question that even these important ministers ignored.

"If you don't build a horse, you can fight, and you can govern the country with peace and security, and you are really an all-rounder."

Tingwei Li Si even praised Shao Shangzao's ability with a smile in public, and looked at Zhao Tuo with a "gentle" gaze, full of "praise".

"Zhao Tuo's ability to be at the end of the end, An Neng is compared with Zhu Gong."

Zhao Tuo hurriedly surrendered, and sweat was already dripping from his forehead.

He didn't expect that the king would publicly praise him in the court and let the ministers learn from him, which really made him sit still.

……

With the promulgation of this newly revised law concerning the "children of the school".

It had little impact on the upper-level ministers, but the lower-level Qianshou people were very excited, and the people at the bottom of the entire Guanzhong were boiling.

Since the Shang Dynasty changed the law and implemented the military merit system, the children of Guanzhong have fought for more than 100 years, and many people have inherited the title in their families.

Although the succession of the title of Qin is a "reduced lord" system, except for the above marquis and special circumstances such as death in battle, most of them are downgraded inheritance, but the accumulation of several generations, coupled with the fact that the children of Guanzhong have participated in the war of annihilation several times in the past ten years, there are still many people with hairpins and titles that are not even higher.

Those who have knights can be officials, but the number of pits is always limited, so most of the knights are still commoners in their status, not officials, except for land and some privileges, and their children are not qualified to enter the school.

This time, the suggestion put forward by Shao Shangzao Zhao Tuo actually opened a way for their children and descendants to leap into class.

"Naigong's son can enter the school, and after completing his studies, he will be able to become an official. Hahaha, Naigong wants to drink slurry water today, and he has to go to Nulu to celebrate, hurry up! ”

"My brother can enter the room as a disciple, and it is not in vain for me to fight on the battlefield, this is really the virtue of the king!"

"I heard that this suggestion was offered by General Zhao, if it weren't for General Zhao, our children would have the opportunity to enter the room."

"General Zhao?"

"It's just a little Shangzao, General Zhao Tuo!"

There is no record of the succession of titles in the Qin Dynasty, but according to the unearthed "Two-Year Decree and Later Law", the children of the marquis can inherit the title completely, and the inheritance below the rank of secretary is reduced according to the title.

This Han Jian is a decree of the second year of the reign of the Emperor Lü, not far from Qin, and may not be completely in line with Qin's situation, but it should be the closest reference material.
