Chapter 168: The First Five-Year Plan!
Zhao Si once again embarked on the road to find Li Si.
With the guidance of the First Emperor, Zhao Si probably also knew the reason why Li Si did not act and why he buried himself in writing books and sayings.
To put it bluntly, Li Si has never been a close person to the First Emperor.
Lees prefers to put himself in the position of a tool man.
In the absence of commitment or feeling the pressure, Li Si will not take the initiative to take the initiative.
Even if...... Zhao Si thinks that he has a good relationship with Li Si, very good.
Zhao Si subconsciously thought that Li Si would trust himself as he trusted Li Si.
But actually...... Li Si still didn't believe it...... Or? When he didn't give a promise, Li Si still chose to shirk.
It's actually relatively normal to think about it, it seems that I have been with Li Si for a long time when I go to sea and come back, but how long has it been since I returned from going to sea?
It's just a few years......
A few years may be precious for Li Si's long life, but it is not enough to make Li Si pay for it.
Well...... Objectively speaking, the plot of the monarch and the minister meeting like the breeze and the moon and the pine and cypress hills will probably not appear in Li Si.
That's not that kind of person at all.
Strictly speaking, Li Si is not a pure minister.
He may have certain ideals in his heart, but he is by no means a pure idealist, and he will not be coerced by his emotions.
Otherwise, there would not have been an estrangement between Han Feizi and the First Emperor.
In the final analysis, it is because of feelings, which may not be so reliable in Li Si's eyes.
It's no wonder that Li Si shirked left and right before he got the promise.
Of course, it doesn't have to be promised that Li Si is talented.
After all, the knife is in the hands of the First Emperor.
Compared with the five horses in the future and the five horses now, Li Si is definitely more inclined to live for a while longer.
In the face of the monarchy, Li Si had little room for resistance.
And the First Emperor has always been a person who is not very constrained, so most of the time he asked Li Si to do things under pressure.
In the same way, Zhao Si can do the same......
Although the right minister is above ten thousand people under one person, he is also the target of everyone.
Zhao Si, as the first emperor's favorite good saint grandson, has countless ways to scare Li Si.
"Li Xiang, why is this so trouble......" Zhao Si smiled helplessly.
It is impossible for the character of the First Emperor to promise Li Si...... The First Emperor was obviously more inclined to put the knife on Li Si's neck and let Li Si move it himself.
But Li Si still kept teaching...... Or does Li Xiang have any unknown habits?
Donkey? Do you have to whip two lashes to move?
Can't you give full play to your own initiative?
Thinking about it, before coming to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhao Si sorted out his expression and stepped into Li Si's mansion.
"Why did Your Highness go and return?" Li Si came to greet Zhao Si with a surprised smile on his face.
"I've just returned to the palace." Zhao Si sat down to himself.
Li Si smiled and planned to sit down as well, but Zhao Si removed the cushion, so he could only stand.
"Li Xiangzhi's words, I told the eldest father." Zhao Si continued.
The expression on Li Si's face moved visibly.
Zhao Si still wanted to continue acting, but looking at Li Si's expression, he was still a little nervous, and finally he could only reluctantly return the cushion to Li Si and waved his hand and sighed: "Li Xiang really broke my heart." ”
"Your Highness, why did you say this......" Li Si didn't sit down, but hurriedly waved his hand.
"After I returned to Qin, there were not many people I knew each other, except Zou Feng, Li Xiang, General Wang, Wang Li, and a group of disciples under my command." Zhao Si's fingers clasped on the desk.
"Li Xiang, why bother?" Zhao Si looked at Li Si strangely.
"Your Majesty is in charge of changing the law after all......," Li Si sighed.
The current emperor is the First Emperor, not Zhao Si.
The first emperor loves his grandson, but he doesn't love him.
The grandson can only kick at most twice if he makes a mistake, and if this prime minister is wrong, he will be stabbed.
Zhao Si is on Li Si's side, which is not as useful as a promise from the First Emperor.
It's not even as useful as the First Emperor putting a knife on Li Si's neck.
"Li Xiang......" Zhao Si looked at Li Si and sighed.
"The minister dared to ask, is this what His Majesty means or His Highness?" Lees asked.
"Li Xiang, is this a love of separation?" Zhao Si asked rhetorically.
"Don't dare to ......"
"That's what I meant." Zhao Si shook his head.
"But that's what the Father meant."
"What exactly is Your Highness going to do?" Lees asked.
"Change! Big change! ”
"Change?" Lees asked again.
"Not ...... enough"
Li Si looked at Zhao Si faintly, as if he was trying to figure out what Zhao Si meant.
"Has Your Highness figured out what exactly you want to do? Or rather, has Your Highness figured out what you want? Lees asked.
Zhao Si frowned when he heard this...... There was a moment of silence.
"It's not like he didn't do anything...... Although the book has not yet been written, some have been written, and His Highness can read it. Li Si said, and pulled out three rolls of bamboo slips from the side.
"Why don't you use paper?" Zhao Si asked casually.
"I'm used to burning with a knife and pen, and I still like to use bamboo slips for heavy things." Lees smiled.
Zhao Si took the bamboo slip and saw three big characters.
The Three Books
One is said to be based on you.
The second book is said to be country-oriented.
Three books, said people-oriented.
Zhao Si knew just by looking at the title, Li Si, this is really a new road.
However, after all, it is an old thing from the old era, so it has not completely overturned the core concept of Legalism to be king-oriented.
Li Si is not a subversive of Legalism, but a supplement.
In addition to the monarch's theory, it is also mentioned that it is twofold, saying that it is a country and a person.
The more Zhao Si looked at it, the more he felt fascinated......
In fact, from the perspective of a modern person's three views, the Junben theory is naturally not accepted, and even a product of the feudal era that can be completely discarded.
However, Zhao Si is the prince and the grandson.
At the same time, this era cannot achieve this level of ideological revolution.
To be precise, it was not until modern times that Junben was completely overthrown.
Historically, there is basically no need to consider abandoning the monarchy within 2,000 years.
Moreover, Li Si is not a pure scholar, he is the right minister of Great Qin.
Junben, for Li Si, must not be overthrown and abandoned.
Even for Li Si, it is already a very risky behavior to put forward the national and human foundation in addition to the monarch.
The so-called monarchy is for the centralization of power.
The so-called national capital is to settle the world and set the Quartet.
The so-called people-oriented is to recuperate for the people.
To put it bluntly, on the road of maintaining centralized power, the country is important and people-oriented.
Although Li Si's three-ontology theory did not jump out of the foundation of the times, for the time being, Zhao Si was keenly aware that this was the most suitable decision for Daqin at this stage.
Looking at the cage unity, Zhao Si already liked it in his heart, and he wanted to study it carefully, so after saying goodbye to Li Si, he returned to the palace and carefully read it word by word.
At the same time, the various policies from more than 2,000 years of history in my mind began to gradually connect.
To put it bluntly, it was Li Si's three-ontology that put forward theoretical guidance and prospect direction for Zhao Si.
In the past, Zhao Si only knew that it was impossible to shake the centralization of power at this stage, and it was impossible to eliminate the idea of the monarch's standard, and it was impossible to blindly squeeze the people, and the power of the people was the weakest and the strongest, and it was not necessarily a good thing to concentrate all the wealth in the hands of the central government......
Now, Zhao Si has borrowed Li Si's three theories to have a clear path that can be borrowed directly.
We will continue to strengthen the centralization of power and eliminate local forces.
Continue to build Daqin, build bridges and pave roads, build water conservancy, and expand the territory.
Abandon the previous five techniques of controlling the people, and change the law from coercion, intimidation and abuse to the people into earnest and kind of temptation, the law can be many, can be mixed, but not too cruel, let the people have more autonomy, protect the people with individuals as units, and limit the clans, heroes, families, and other units independent of the government and the people.
Zhao Si knocked on the case a few times......
"In a short period of time, there is no need to consider the problem of the nobles of the powerful family, the damned are already dead, and the people who are not dead have also moved to the Guannai, a large amount of land has been vacated on the place, and the ruling power of the government has been further improved, in the future for a period of time, it is necessary to abolish the Qin law based on abuse, but it does not mean that it is necessary to do nothing, the punishment of the law can be appropriately reduced, but the number does not have to be reduced, and it is necessary to rely on the law to complete the change of customs, currency, and writing as soon as possible. At the same time, there is no big nobles, but Haoqiang, landlords, clans, these forces still exist in the locality, and now there is no contradiction because the place has become a blue ocean because of the departure of the nobles, and the cake is bigger, so there is no contradiction for the time being, if you let it go, the people will be violated sooner or later, and the order to move the king's tomb must not be stopped, not only can not be stopped, it is best to be used as an ancestral training, and every dynasty and every generation must be carried out.
But you won't have to think about it for a short time. Taking advantage of the current surplus of local resources, it is very necessary to abolish slavery, so that more Shu people can participate in the division of local interests as soon as possible, and let the government of Daqin endorse them and act as their backstage, with interests and a stable life.
On the national side, there will be no more wars for a long time to come, whether on the border or internally.
Now is the time for diplomats to exert their strength, although it is not necessary to start a war, but when Daqin does not start a war, he can't let others stop, Daqin needs to cultivate internal strength, but he can't let others cultivate internal strength with peace of mind, he must participate in communication with various countries more and faster, and he can use force to deter when necessary, and enhance Daqin's international influence as soon as possible.
As the distance grows farther and the territory becomes more vast, the cost of war will only increase, and the problems that can be solved by influence should be avoided as much as possible.
At the same time, this rare period of peace, without the intervention of nobles, and with the deterrence of this war, the decrees will be smoother than before.
Therefore, local construction must not stop, or as there are fewer and fewer wars, construction will become a top priority.
Repair bridges, pave roads, build cities, reclamation, water conservancy, these need the world's people to participate extensively, it is not advisable to rest with the people, stability is stability, but with the people for ten years to rest may not be able to rest out of a canal, large projects are impossible to count on rest with the people, in the future, to build more large projects, more people can get the tangible benefits of the big projects, rather than extravagant palaces, at the same time can also improve the treatment of the people to a certain extent, the law to ensure their safety, It can even be rewarded with a knighthood......
Fortunately, thanks to the cruelty of the old law...... As long as their safety and harvest can be guaranteed, the people will be satisfied, and even have to sigh that life is better than before.
Well...... At the same time, it is also necessary to introduce policies to promote fertility as soon as possible, and now the population of Daqin is too small and too small, and population is the top priority. ”
What does that mean? It has to be by comparison.
Zhao Si still has to lament the cruelty of the Qin Law and Qin Law in some aspects.
There is no harm if there is no comparison, so at this stage, it only needs to pay some insignificant protection, and the people can easily bear all kinds of labor.
The white porridge and mustard are enough, and the people can build a Great Wall of the World for you......
This is true in times of war......
But in the heyday, it's really not good......
Without comparison, how do you know that life is not easy to come by now?
The standard configuration of white porridge and mustard in ancient times is already considered to be quasi-prosperous, but wouldn't a modern person go over and immediately shout about an uprising?
We cannot think about problems with the stereotypes of antiquity that modern people have.
Under the premise that we can't pay wages and manage food and housing, the big project will definitely sacrifice the happiness of the people.
There is no way around this, as for human rights or something, let's talk about it later, while the current public sentiment is still acceptable, let's hurry up and carry out large-scale infrastructure construction.
Life will be better in the future, and the cost of large infrastructure will be higher.
After thinking about it, the thoughts in Zhao Si's mind have gradually matured.
So he dipped his pen in ink and began to write.
"Daqin's First Five-Year Plan! 》
It's just that I've just written a few hundred words......
was knocked on the door by the palace people.
"Your Highness, there is an urgent performance over there in the craftsman's bureau." CRRC Fu Ling Qian spoke softly.
Zhao Si put down the brush and beckoned to bring it.
Qian bowed down and handed over the paperwork.
Zhao Si opened the paperwork with excitement.
In the craftsman bureau, Zhao Si is most concerned about two things.
The first is the production and preparation of gunpowder.
The second is the improvement and research of steelmaking methods.
These two things are related to the country's plans, so Zhao Si has made instructions a long time ago, about steel and gunpowder, no matter which aspect of technological breakthroughs, must be the first time to play in the palace, can go straight to the palace.
This thing, no matter which breakthrough it is, is no less than Zhao Si's five-year plan.
Zhao Si opened the recital with apprehension......
"Blast furnace!"
Zhao Si hammered heavily on the case!
It's done!
Zhao Si was well aware of the excellent properties of steel, so he proposed to replace bronze with iron very early.
However, due to the immaturity of smelting technology and the low temperature, it is difficult to describe the iron tools produced in this era.
Zhao Si knew that there was a furnace that could raise the temperature to smelt steel and improve the performance of iron, but he could not restore it, so he could only give theoretical guidance to the craftsman's bureau, telling them that the lack of performance of iron was due to insufficient temperature, too many impurities, and carbon content.
Zhao Si regretted that he had not memorized the process of making iron and steel.
However, in fact, for scientific research, it is precious to be able to directly point out the correct direction of tackling problems.
Scientific research is not the most terrible.
The most terrible thing is that after all the hard work and hard work finally reach the conditions, the result is that this step is irrelevant.
And now...!
It's finally done!
Zhao Si carefully observed the performance test data of the craftsman's bureau and compared it with the performance of existing bronzes.
"Enough!"
Zhao Si had a happy smile on his face!
