Chapter 388, Unified Text
Just when the fighting on the grassland was in full swing, Qin Ziyou and others were not idle, and Qin successively annexed Korea, Wei and Yan, and some hidden risks were also exposed, first of all, the text, and the problem exposed by the text was raised by Chen Ping.
In Zhangtai Palace, Ying Zheng sat on the throne, and Zhao Gao was reading out the recital sent by Chen Ping.
Chen Ping's approximate meaning is that all the opposition forces in Yuyang County have been pacified, but the implementation of the Qin law is still slow, and the biggest reason is that the Qin script is different from the Yan script, so it is very difficult for the old Yan officials to learn the Qin law, and the number of judges sent by the Qin State is not enough, so the implementation of the Qin law is slow. At the same time, Chen Ping also reported a trivial matter, but it was also about the text, that is, the notice posted by Chen Ping, the people of Yuyang County did not know the Qin script on it, and it also hindered the implementation of the decree.
After Zhao Gao finished reading it, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty fell into deep thought, and they really didn't think about the matter of writing, because after the Han and Wei countries were pacified, the officials of the Qin State quickly made up for it so that there were no problems with the implementation of the two local decrees and the Qin law, so they all forgot about it.
Lu Buwei was thinking about this matter with a heavy face, he was not thinking about the implementation of the Qin script, but thinking about what the consequences would be if the Qin script was implemented in Yingchuan County, Dong County and Yuyang County, the script is the representative of a country, and the script of each country in the seven countries is different, if they rashly let them change their own script, even if there is only one end, it will touch the last dignity in the hearts of these people who have lost the country, I am afraid it will cause very serious consequences.
However, the consequences of not implementing a unified script are more serious, the words are different, the hearts of the people are not aligned, the same government decrees are blocked, and the laws are not compatible, so the consequences are even more serious, and the unification made by the Qin State is only a unity in the situation.
Ying Zheng glanced at the whispering ministers below and asked
"Chen Ping's question is very good, Great Qin captured the three kingdoms of Han, Wei and Yan, and set up Yingchuan County, Dong County and Yuyang County respectively, but the people of the three places still use the old Chinese language, which not only affects the government decree, but also has never been able to make the people return to their hearts, so the widow is ready to let the three places and Great Qin unify the language. What do you think? ”
Faced with the question of Yingzheng, the ministers all nodded, but they hesitated for a while when they thought of the adverse consequences of unifying the language. Li Si glanced at the other ministers and stood up and said
If the text is not understood, then the people will not return, if it is according to the previous attack on the city, the method used by all countries is to occupy the city, inventory the population and land, and then let the officials govern the city, counting the years, so that the people will naturally use the language of my Qin State, but this move is not only time-consuming, can not adapt to today's Qin State.
If Dongjun and Yingchuan County use this method to work, the two places belong to our Qin State for some years, and most of the officials who govern the place are my Qin people, and the government affairs are still smooth, but the music uploaded by Yuyang County often requires special personnel to translate the Yan State script into the Qin State language, which takes time, manpower and material resources do not seem to be much, but the accumulation of time is enough to be a terrifying number, so the minister feels that the text should be unified. And it should be solved as soon as possible, the matter of my Great Qin's domination of the world has already been done halfway, and the matter of words must be followed as soon as possible. ”
The ministers were not surprised by Li Si's proposal, Li Si was the leader of the reformist faction of the Qin court, and he was at the forefront of every reform of the Qin State, and he stood up for this unified text and was no exception.
Just as Li Si, a reformist, stood up and took a stand, the conservative officials naturally also stood up, and the middle prime minister, who was subordinate to the three princes, stood up and said
"It is necessary to reform and unify the language, but this matter is very important, if the Qin script is forcibly implemented and accepted by the three places, I am afraid it will cause unnecessary waves, and the king is invited to think twice about this matter. In addition, the three languages have been circulated for a hundred years, and the local classic books and local records of national history are all in the local language. ”
The prime minister is one of the main forces of the conservatives, and in the absence of the conservative leader of Lü Buwei, one of the three princes, the prime minister of the middle is the main force, and he is responsible for the line with Li Si. If Lü Buwei personally intervenes to stop something, no matter how Li Si proposes Yingzheng, he will think carefully and then support it.
"Regarding the matter of words, the widow feels that he can't wait any longer, now that Daqin is dominating the world, the pace of Daqin's domination of the world is getting faster and faster, if it can't improve all aspects, it will inevitably affect the overall situation in the end, this matter can't wait, it must be solved as soon as possible!" Ying Zheng thought for a while and said.
Hearing Ying Zheng's support for Li Si's suggestion, the reformers led by Li Si called the king Wannian, especially the people of the Ram family are eager to start this matter now, the great unification is that everything must be unified, they have considered the matter of words before, but their proposals were suppressed by the Prime Minister's Mansion, because Lu Buwei felt that this matter could not be rushed, let alone let the Ram Confucianists be responsible, otherwise a good thing could be made by them, as long as the rest of the people knew the Qin script, Then it means that the Qin script has successfully become the only script, and those who do not know the Qin script can disappear.
At that time, the problem of writing had not yet been exposed, and the militants of the Ram family did not care too much, their main goal was to unify the six countries, and the temptation of land was much more attractive than writing, but writing was an unavoidable thing.
And the conservatives should stand up against it, hoping to make Yingzheng slowly try, for fear that the people in the three places that have been forced to stabilize will rebel again. Without waiting for Yingzheng to speak, the reformers began to refute these words, and the conservatives were not to be outdone, and directly quoted scriptures to refute them.
Suddenly, the entire court of the Qin State was in a mess, quarreling over how to implement the unification of writing, and some ministers quarreled to the point that they even moved their hands on the court regardless of their image, but fortunately, some soldiers hurriedly stopped them, so that no one was killed.
"This must not be delayed, and it is feasible to plan slowly, but it must also be implemented immediately. Taiwei has already said in the "Treatise on Action" that the importance of the unity of the text, so there is no need to care about this matter, as for the method, you are responsible for consulting with the ministers to come up with a solution, this matter must be completed as soon as possible, if you wait until the end, it will inevitably cause turmoil. Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.
Hearing Ying Zheng's words, the ministers below also stopped arguing and could only say yes, and then Ying Zheng dissolved the court, and when the next dynasty came, the reformers were all arrogant, and they defeated the conservatives again, and some ministers even invited other ministers to drink tea together.
Qin law did not allow officials to drink alcohol when they were not on vacation, and they could only drink tea or fruit juice made from some fruits. The conservatives on the side gritted their teeth when they saw the reformers being so arrogant, they lost in the court, but it doesn't mean that they will lose in the matter of implementing the text, Yingzheng is to let them discuss the method, but they just argue when they are discussing, and there is no armor to stop them at that time.
Just when the ministers of the previous dynasty dispersed to think about how to implement the text, Lü Buwei suddenly realized that Ziyou did not express his opinion on the matter of unifying the text, even if he felt that something was wrong.
Lü Buwei looked around and didn't see Ziyou's figure, and after Fusu said goodbye to the officials, he saw Lü Buwei, who was looking at him, and asked
"Father Zhong, what are you looking at?"
"I'm looking for the Captain." Lu Buwei said.
"Fusu just saw Taiwei going in the direction of the school palace. Is the eldest father thinking about the unification of the text that the father said? Fusu asked.
"Hmm." Lu Buwei nodded and stood side by side with Fusu and said, "This matter was actually discussed by the Prime Minister's Mansion before, but in the end, it was temporarily put down. ”
Hearing Lu Buwei's words, Fusu was stunned for a moment and then asked
"Since the Prime Minister's Mansion has been discussing this for a long time, why did it finally put it down?"
"Do you know what is the hardest part of the text?" Lu Buwei asked with a faint smile.
Fusu frowned and thought for a while before saying
"It's the powerful and the hundred."
"That's right." Lu Buwei nodded and said.
The most direct influence of writing is the powerful scholars and hundreds of schools of learning, not the people, after all, the people can't even eat, let alone literate, these years the Qin State has continued to support the construction of cottages and county houses to teach knowledge, but the literacy rate of the Qin State is still rising slowly, not to mention other countries.
Now the unification of the script and the replacement of the script have no big impact on the Qin State, but it is a huge blow to the scholars and Baijia in the three places, they collect students to teach knowledge in the local area, and they use the local script, and now let them change the script, that is, let them learn and teach again, they must be unwilling.
"The young master should know about this." Fusu said thoughtfully.
"Chen Ping is a smart person who can naturally see through the danger behind this matter, he still brings up this matter, this matter is likely to be supported by the Taiwei behind it, and the king should have passed the wind with the Taiwei." Lü Buwei said as he walked.
"What about Taifu?" Fusu asked in surprise.
Lü Buwei just shook his head and didn't speak, it was not that he had lost the trust of Yingzheng, but that his role was the ballast stone, not to mention that now he was the old magnate of the Qin State, and he represented the entire Qin State magnates and the other hundred schools of thought except Confucianism, so he could not participate in the reform, so he could only stand in the position of conservatives and stabilize these people.
This is also something they tacitly know, every time the Qin State wants to carry out changes, Lü Buwei's role is this.
Fusu also nodded thoughtfully, and followed Lu Buwei out of Zhangtai Palace.
Great Qin School Palace.
The Great Qin School Palace is located on the right side of the Zhangtai Palace, it is a school palace built as the center of the former Qin State Library Pavilion, which is also the highest school in the Qin State, which has been established for three years, and the hundred schools stationed in it now have Confucianism, Taoism, Legalism, soldiers, famous families, Yin and Yang families, Mo families, Kanyu families, public losers, farmers, etc., and a series of schools close to the Qin State, and many schools are waiting and watching, not that they do not want to join the Great Qin School Palace, just because the Great Qin School Palace is not fully open now, Only schools that accepted the invitation of the Qin State could be stationed.
And the Qin State is also gradually sending invitations to the hundred schools, hoping that they will enter the Great Qin School Palace, most of the people who accepted the invitation agreed, and when they entered the Great Qin School Palace, they no longer worried that their school would have no heirs in the future, and for some small sects, the Qin State directly sent some disciples to let them study.
And Xunzi's sacrificial wine is not in the Great Qin School Palace because of his own mission, and the person in charge of the Great Qin School Palace now is Xunzi's disciple, Ziyou's senior brother, Fu Qiubo. Fu Chubo temporarily served as the sacrificial wine of the Great Qin Xue Palace, and the sacrificial wine could check the collection of books of the Qin State at will, which made Fu Chubo, who also loved reading, not have the slightest ability to resist.
The reason why Fuchubo was allowed to hold the position of sacrificial wine is because Fuchubo's mentality and knowledge are all good, and whether it is learning or virtue, people can't find problems. Moreover, Fu Chubo respects the knowledge of all schools and factions, and does things very fairly, so it is very suitable for him to serve as a sacrificial wine, even more suitable than the old troll Xunzi.
The Great Qin School Palace is divided into many school palaces, roughly each sect occupies a part, and each school in these sects occupies the palace houses in this part, and the middle of the Great Qin School Palace is two buildings, one is the library pavilion, and the other is the debate hall, which is specially designed to provide a debate place for each school.
At this time, the representatives of the various schools of the entire Great Qin Academy gathered in the debate hall, led by Fu Qiubo, who temporarily received the sacrificial wine, and Ziyou, who came straight from the lower dynasty. Ziyou and Fu Chubo stood in the center of the debate platform, and the heads of the various factions sat on the seats around them.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have come this time for one thing, the matter of unifying the text." Ziyou said to the people around him.
As soon as these words came out, the leaders of the surrounding schools discussed one after another, but they didn't expect Ziyou to suddenly call them for this matter. If it were someone else who said this, they would definitely be sprayed to death by these people, but Ziyou is different, first of all, no one dares to spray Ziyou, who is one of the three princes, and secondly, they are not sure that they can beat Ziyou after spraying.
If Yingzheng comes, they dare to say a few words, after all, Yingzheng will not be as knowledgeable as them, and he also cares about his reputation. But Ziyou is different, they troll Ziyou, and Ziyou really dares to do it.
Ziyou looked around at the person in charge of the school that was discussed around him, and the current Great Qin School Palace has gathered more than half of the hundred schools, which is why Ziyou and Yingzheng are now proposing the matter of unifying the text, because the hundred schools above the half, especially the mainstay of several schools, now rely on the Qin State to pass it on, even if they have problems, they do not dare to oppose it directly, but raise their own concerns.
"Ahem!" A light cough interrupted everyone's discussion.
Everyone saw that he was the person in charge of the Huang Lao School of Taoism.
"Dare to ask the captain, is this matter of unifying the text as stated in your book "Theory of Action"?"
