Chapter 130: Zhao Si's Proposal to Move the Old Nobles of the Six Kingdoms into the Customs!
In fact, Lees was not in a hurry......
He also couldn't afford to be angry with Zhao Si and argue on this kind of issue.
Everything ultimately depends on the will of the first emperor, Li Si has stood so far, and only Li Si has the right to the three dukes, and he is not intolerant of people who disagree with him.
At the very least, no matter what Zhao Si says, it will not affect Li Si's status and power.
It also can't affect the fact that Great Qin is based on law.
At the end of the court meeting, after accompanying the First Emperor to exercise and eat as usual, the First Emperor sat down a few days before the case, looked at Zhao Si with interest and said, "Let's talk about it......"
Zhao Si was stunned for a moment, he thought that the matter of the court meeting was over, he did prepare a belly of manuscripts, and now the price of salt has dropped, and the old problem has flared up again, so it has stopped in the abdomen.
"Your Majesty, Your Minister... This shallowness ......"
"Say!"
The First Emperor didn't even raise his head, but his voice sank slightly.
"Your Majesty, what the minister wants to say is actually no different from what the court will say.
The small people of Qianshou have no assets and no ability to produce and sell illicit salt, and it is human nature that they buy illicit salt just to survive.
Similarly, the small people of Qianshou are also powerless to distort the Qin law, and most of them are illiterate, how can they distort the meaning of the Qin law? How can we talk about smearing Daqin and smearing Your Majesty.
Since the Shang Emperor changed the law in Guanzhong, there are either small people who are unwilling to flee for their subordinate concubines, or there are Qiantou who are unbearable to be forced and become bandits, but they have never heard of anyone who gathers to cause trouble. β
The First Emperor nodded: "Go on!" β
"When Shang Jun changed the law, it was not a smooth road, and he was obstructed, and even Shang Jun himself died because of it, but most of the obstructions came from the Gong clan, from the old clan, not from the head of Qian."
"If the country is regarded as a big tree, the former Qin State was a miscellaneous tree in the mountains with twisted branches and wanton growth, and the Shang monarch changed the law by pruning the branches and leaves to strengthen the torso.
Before Shang Jun changed the law, it was weak and multiplied, and after Shang Jun changed the law, it was strong and weak.
And after Great Qin unified the six kingdoms, the miscellaneous branches and leaves that had been pruned off before also grew again.
At present, the Great Qin implements the Qin law, popularizes the Qin law, the car is on the same track, the book is the same, the line is the same, the weights and measures are unified, and the currency is unified, which is nothing more than pruning the branches and leaves again to make the trunk strong. β
The First Emperor glanced at Zhao Si in a little surprise, but he didn't expect Zhao Si to be able to compare the trees to Daqin, and compare the change to pruning branches and leaves, and the analogy was so appropriate.
"According to the minister's opinion, the current Great Qin is the same as the Great Qin before the Shang monarch's change of law, that is, the cadres are weak and the branches are strong, so whether it is the implementation of Qin laws or the implementation of policies, there are obstacles, and even in many areas, there are no longer local ......."
The First Emperor nodded, this question was naturally aware of the First Emperor, otherwise Great Qin would not have implemented so many policies.
The Qin State implemented so many policies and made so many measures, to put it bluntly, the starting point was to strengthen the control of the central government and weaken the influence of local forces.
"In your opinion, what should you do?" The First Emperor looked at Zhao Si with interest.
"The branches are strong and the stems are weak, which is nothing more than the strong and weak branches." Zhao Si spoke.
"Then how do you strengthen the weak branches?" The First Emperor put down the bamboo slip, looked at Zhao Si and asked with a smile.
Zhao Si can see the problem, which is very good, which is the embodiment of insight ability.
According to Zhao Si's analogy, Daqin's current measures are all aimed at solving the problem of being weak and weak, and the central government's influence is insufficient to control the deep localities.
"Don't mention these things for the time being, Daqin is already pruning the branches and leaves." Zhao Si spoke.
"The minister has no other way...... Zhao Si said seriously.
He had thought about this problem a long time ago, and he had thought of a solution.
Then, the answer was found in the man who was often compared to the First Emperor.
"Move the old nobles of the six countries into the customs!"
It is worth mentioning that in fact, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Shi faced similar situations.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once promulgated the famous "Decree of Moving Maoling".
All the wealthy families with a wealth of more than 3 million yuan will migrate to Maoling near the capital.
The Tui En Order, the Relocation Decree, the Honorarium, and the Closure are all essentially for the purpose of centralized rule.
The Han inherited the Qin system, and Qin opened a precedent for unification, but the unification of the Han Dynasty in Zhuxia also contributed to it.
The Qin Dynasty laid the foundation, and the Han Dynasty continued to strengthen the centralization of power and weaken local rule according to the foundation of the Qin Dynasty, which was the fundamental reason for the great unification of Zhuxia, and the Qin and Han dynasties should be regarded together.
In fact, there is no essential difference between the two, whether it is the system or the basic behavioral logic of various government decrees.
In the same way, the first emperor's implementation of the unified currency weights and measures, the collection of the world's soldiers, and the promulgation of the new Qianshou military order, the cleaning up of the direct blood of the six royal families, in essence, is also to prevent restoration, and the local power will become bigger.
It's just that the target of Qin's attack is against the six royal families.
After all, Qin Shi Huang's main opponent in destroying the world was the six royal families, and considering the background of Qin, a large number of capable ministers of Qin came from other countries, whether it was Shang Ying, LΓΌ Buwei, the Meng family, and even Li Xin......
Not to mention that there are not enough literate people in this era, and the Qin State needs to rely on the aristocracy to govern the local area and break the old ruling model of the six royal families.
In the Han Dynasty, the six royal families had been completely shattered by the Qin State.
Therefore, the problem faced by the Han Dynasty was the expansion of the power of local nobles, princes and dukes.
To put it bluntly, Daqin still has no experience, and the blow to the nobles of the Six Kingdoms is not enough.
The Xiang family can live honestly, and influencing local forces is a side proof.
Now Daqin's problem is not to fight the losers of the Six Royal Families, or to prevent the resentment of the people's livelihood from gathering into thieves.
"Just like the minister said, who is serving, who is paying taxes, who is guarding the border, and who is distorting the Qin law, disrupting the place, and seeking personal gain?" Zhao Si smiled.
"The strong stem is weak, the weak should not be the head of the Qian, where can the head of the Qian? Qianshou is not even a leaf...... They are rain, water, and mud! β
"Launch the decree, move the old nobles of the six countries into the customs, seize their lords, take their wealth, and kill their people, naturally they will be strong and weak, and the world will be stable." Zhao Si opened his mouth and said.
The First Emperor sat still......
Zhao Si's starting point is different from the rest of the people.
In fact, to put it bluntly, the times are different, and Daqin is just at the end of the old era and the expansion of the new era.
Just like for Great Qin, you can confuse it with the Spring and Autumn Period of the Warring States Period.
It can also be compared with the Qin and Han dynasties.
This is a period of transition, the old has not faded away, and new problems are pouring in.
"Everyone says that the frequent warring states and countries are fighting each other, and it is a world of great strife, otherwise, the minister thinks that now is the world of great strife."
"Now that Great Qin, the first to rule the world, it seems to be a new dynasty, but it is actually an aging country."
"The current dispute lies in the dispute between the old and the new!"
"In the past, the ambition of the Qin monarchs was to dominate the world, and the ambition of His Majesty was to be eternal."
"Change is stronger! If you don't change, you die! β
"Your Majesty, the foundation of Great Qin has never been the old family, but the old Qin people. Great Qin's enemies were never the Six Kingdoms, but the Old Nobles of the Six Kingdoms.
Qin's annihilation of the Six Kingdoms is not a fluke!
The Six Nations did not die at this time, but a hundred years ago!
The trouble of Great Qin was never the restoration of the Six Royal Families. It is about the old nobles who seek selfishness and do not seek the country.
If Great Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms once, he could destroy the Six Kingdoms twice, three times, ten times, and a hundred times. β
"Strong and weak branches, move your noble and send orders......" The first emperor rubbed his beard, thoughtful.
