Breezy.

Blowing the beard, it also blows the heartstrings.

Ji Heng got up and poured himself a glass of water, his eyes were slightly blank looking at the sky, holding a pottery bowl in his hand, he didn't know whether he was right or wrong to do this, but this move was indeed the most suitable way to solve the Chen Cao accumulated by Great Qin over the years.

It's just that 'starting from the baby' came out too early.

He also didn't know what kind of impact this 'magic box' would have on the world in the future after opening it so solemnly.

But he didn't have much of a choice.

He picked up the pottery bowl, took a sip, his voice was a little broad, and said: "This method is not as good as imagined, once it is not handled well, it may be that the officials will force the people to rebel, in the past, the government only put pressure on the young and strong laborers, once the court set its eyes on the 'family', what kind of evil consequences will be caused in the future, I don't dare to predict myself." ”

"But for now, it's the most practicable."

"It is also the easiest to include most of the soldiers who have received meritorious services."

Fusu's eyes were slightly different.

It was the first time he had seen Ji Heng so dignified.

It's just that he is a little puzzled, why is Ji Heng so worried?

Although Fusu was very puzzled in his heart, he said: "What Mr. said is extremely true, but the follow-up progress of Daqin's unification of the world is too fast, so that most of the soldiers have accumulated too much military merits, plus the follow-up war with the Xiongnu in the South China Sea, the accumulation of large and small merits is enough to crush the imperial court." ”

"Sir, speak for granted."

Ji Heng knew that Fusu didn't know much about it, and he didn't want to say much about it, so he just continued to speak on this matter: "The fields in Guanzhong are fertile, so the grain output is actually much higher than that of other places. ”

"It's just not all delivered."

"Even so."

"The people of Guanzhong still choose to believe in the imperial court, and the reason is very simple, because the head of the Qianzhong believes that the imperial court will eventually be able to fulfill the merits under the military merit system, and if they get those rewards, the difficult life they are living at present will also be greatly improved, and they can even become 'rich peasants'."

"The Qin people have been deceiving themselves in the past."

"But this kind of dream can't be punctured, once it is punctured, the Qin people feel that they have been deceived by the government, and the anger and madness that erupt from the depths of their hearts are enough to swallow the entire Qin court."

"When the time comes."

"No one in the world will miss the Qin State."

"There will not be a single person who thinks about recovering the country for Qin like the remnants of the Six Kingdoms."

"There is no greater mourning than the death of the heart."

When Fusu heard Ji Heng's words, his expression became very serious, but he also had to admit that if the Qin people really recognized the status quo, most of them would complain about the court as Ji Heng said, and no one would be grateful for the good of Great Qin.

He shook his head with a wry smile.

Ji Heng then said: "It is precisely because of this that this matter must be resolved, but as I said before, the court cannot do it by really cashing in on the merits, so it can only find another way." ”

"Qianshou can't move, it doesn't make sense."

"Then go the other way."

"Most of them are fighting outside for any fame, but just to improve the situation of their families and provide a better environment for future generations."

"That's why."

"My suggestion has a chance to work."

"And this is only about the middle-aged and old Qin people who have a basis for implementation."

"Most of the old Qin people have some fields in their hands, although they can't really solve the problem of food and clothing, but as long as they don't pay a very high amount of money every year, the family's rations can be saved."

"So they have the conditions to accept their own children to go to school."

"Still." Ji Heng raised his eyes and looked at Fusu and Hu Hai, shook his head and said: "If you directly implement it like this, the resistance will be extremely great, because it will shake the entire 'scholar' class, as well as the 'officials' who benefit from it, and it will involve a wide range of people, and it will involve the entire Guanzhong." ”

Fusu stood up from the seat and said slowly: "So Mr. asked the second brother and others to do the compilation of literacy and hyphenation books, in order not to cause dissatisfaction among the 'officials'?" ”

Ji Heng nodded and said, "The selection of officials, Daqin used to pass through the school. ”

"There are a lot of things to learn in the school, in addition to literacy and hyphenation, but also to write official documents, arithmetic, military, etc., under the formulation of the school, the cost of training a qualified 'official' in Daqin is very high, first, the imperial court can't afford it, and secondly, the class of 'officials' will also be dissatisfied with this."

"Because only families with relatively high titles can enter the school."

"And my suggestion is to let most ordinary families send their children in, wouldn't this greatly lower the threshold for admission, but also greatly increase the competition for 'officials', and they will definitely have great resentment about this."

"So if you want to really implement this policy, you have to think it out carefully and after many considerations."

"Dare to ask Mr. to elaborate." Fusu saluted Ji Heng and asked.

Since Ji Heng is willing to speak, he will no longer hide at this time, and Daqin has also accumulated a lot of things, so it is time to continue to go down, and the steps will be much bigger than before.

But it is also necessary to go.

If he doesn't leave, when all classes are stabilized, Daqin won't be able to leave if he wants to.

He said: "The starting point of this strategy is to solve the merit and reward, based on the people, so we must consider the acceptance of the low-level Qiantou, knowledge is priceless, but the merit and reward of the Qianshou is limited, if the imperial court is greedy and excessive, how can the Qianshou be willing to make this deal?" ”

Fusu nodded.

Ji Heng was right.

If you can't even solve the livelihood of the family, but still want future generations to study, this is a complete pipe dream, and it is impossible for anyone to agree to it.

He also understands it.

Why does Ji Heng say that only Guan Zhong can do it.

Under the military merit system, most of the people of Daqin have dozens or hundreds of acres of land in their hands, so even if the imperial court is in arrears, the head of Qiantou is only dissatisfied and resentful in his heart, but he is not too eager to ask for it, and this is the key to Ji Heng's idea.

The Qin people are 'rich'!

Ji Heng continued: "In addition to considering the acceptance of the low-level Qiantou, we should also consider the 'officials', whether the Great Qin Cheng recognizes it or not, whether it is recognized or not, a large number of Qianshou's children use this to read and hyphenate, which will definitely cause panic among the officials at the bottom, lest they be replaced. ’

"The number of 'officials' at the bottom is the largest, and they are also the tentacles of Great Qin's real control of the world, and they must not lead the 'officials' to rebel."

"So we must consider the degree of acceptance of the 'officials'."

"Also."

"And also the cost."

"It took a total of ten years for Great Qin to unify the world, and it is only twenty years now, twenty years is a generation, and at least one million Qin people can be affected by this policy."

"No matter how much you compress the cost and reduce the requirements, it is still an unbearable expense for the Great Qin Imperial Court, so you must also consider the ability of the imperial court to bear it for a certain period of time."

Fusu silently remembered it in his heart.

It's just that he also feels a little numb in his scalp.

There are so many groups of people that are affected, and there is no problem with that.

Ji Heng's face was as usual, he picked up the pottery bowl, took a sip, and said: "The highest rank of the civil lord of Daqin shall not exceed the public ride, that is, the highest level of the doctor, and then you can only be an official." ”

"And the titles of officials above the court are at least five doctors."

"That is, at least they are all 'Qing' level."

"In fact, the treatment below the title of the five doctors is not high, and every time you are promoted, you will get one or two more hectares of land, no need to kowtow, no need to serve."

"The standard for entering the school is the official doctor."

"According to the law, the official doctor can get seven hectares of land and seven 'house' homesteads."

"And the titles above the doctor, and the lowest duke, the court has actually cashed in before, and most of the ones that have not been fulfilled are the rewards of the lower-level titles of Shangzao, hairpins, and no."

"The treatment of these titles is not very high, but every time you are promoted, you can get one hectare (one hundred acres) of land and one 'house', and the number of people in these three titles in the army of Great Qin is as high as hundreds of thousands."

"If you look at the whole Guanzhong, it may be as high as a million."

"Millions of people have reached out to ask for a farmhouse, and the amount of land needed is definitely not something that the imperial court can give."

"It's these people's demands that need to be addressed right now."

"These three knighthood-level people, in fact, have a very embarrassing status in Daqin, they are not high or low, and those with low status in the army are wearing armor and red or black rag turbans, and the high point of status is the sergeant major, and the higher point can be the 'car right'."

"But that's only in the military."

"The titles they get are basically civil lords."

"No one can be a servant if there is no recommendation, and there is no family background to enter the school to study, although there is a knighthood, but after all, he is still the head of the Qianqian who depends on the sky to eat."

"Therefore, if the imperial court provides their children with the opportunity to study, they are also the easiest to be moved, but considering the influence of the 'officials' and the expenses of the imperial court, the imperial court can at most agree to enroll some hairpins and people who do not change their titles, as for the number of Shangzao, the imperial court cannot afford it."

"And if it's too wide, it's going to be a bit cheap."

"So there's still a certain threshold."

"If this moves, Daqin will have two admission standards in parallel in the future, and the children of high titles will directly enter the school, come out and be distributed, and pass the test to become officials, and they can directly become officials."

"This type of person has a higher starting point and more room to rise."

"The second category is the children of hairpins, non-change, and doctors, who can only read and hyphenate at the most basic level, and have the opportunity to become a 'official', but they can only start as the lowest officials, and it will be difficult to be promoted to a high position, and even most people can't become 'officials'."

Hear the words.

Fusu's heart moved.

Hearing Ji Heng's words, he immediately thought of the 'province' mentioned by Ji Heng, if it was really designed according to Ji Heng's design, the number of 'officials' would be greatly increased, and if the number of 'officials' was increased, it would naturally be necessary to increase the number of official offices.

If the three-level 'province' is really introduced, the children of Gao Jue will no longer start from the lowest township, but directly from the higher counties, and the lowest township will be reserved for those with lower titles.

This is a ladder design.

Hu Hai was a little confused when he heard this, he was a hairpin for a while, he didn't change it for a while, a doctor, an official doctor, a school, and just an enrollment, he looked at Ji Heng and said impatiently: "Ji Heng, you make it clear, why didn't I understand." ”

"According to what you said, the title of 'Doctor', the government has actually fulfilled the reward, and these people are basically local officials and officials, why do you enroll in the school, and there is a doctor-level? Also, what do you mean by that part of the hairpin? Isn't that a knighthood? Can it be split in two? ”

Ji Heng chuckled lightly and explained: "The titles of Daqin, from low to high, are Gongshi, Shangzao, Hairpin and Hairpin, not more, these titles are low-level 'Shi' Jue, and starting from the doctor, the official doctor, the public doctor, and the public passenger are the 'Bidafu' lords." ”

"The children of officials and doctors and above can directly enter the school."

"That is to say, these children with relatively high titles can at least become Qin officials from birth."

"And the lowest rank in the 'Doctor' level is the doctor, which is also a title that is not high or low, and the same as the lowest-level public scholar, as long as you can become a public scholar, you can get a house from the hands of the government, and as long as you are a doctor, you can go directly without recommendation and sponsorship."

"But both titles are just a threshold."

"One is the threshold for obtaining a farmhouse, and the other is the threshold for going out directly."

"But that's all there is to it."

"A public servant can't wear armor and be a sergeant, and the doctor can only be an official himself, and he can't guarantee that his children will be able to be an official, so the children of the 'official' of the eldest doctor can only take the following path, that is, the admission provided for people with low-level titles."

"As for why it's part of the hairpin."

"Because there are a lot of hairpins, if all of them are qualified, Daqin's finances will not be able to support it, and it is easy for people to feel that the threshold for entry is low, and it is easy to cause dissatisfaction with people who are not more at the doctor's level, so the children of hairpins and knights, if they want to enroll, they must increase some other thresholds."

"For example."

"Five years on the border and so on!"

Hearing Ji Heng's words, Fusu's eyelids jumped.

He understood it all.

There is a threshold for admission proposed by Ji Heng.

The threshold is between the hairpin and not more.

This threshold is high for the hairpin, and low for the person who does not change the title, so it is necessary to make appropriate reconciliation, and the hairpin lord gives up the merit of the duke and above, plus the five years of the war, his children can be enrolled, and the children who do not change can be directly enrolled, and even some preferential treatment will be given.

For example, give out some money and food.

In the end, both of these titles will be satisfied.

As for the doctor level who should not have entered, in addition to providing free admission qualifications, some other preferential treatment will be given to win the hearts of people with this title.

As for the officials and doctors, their children will have a higher starting point in the future.

It can also satisfy the people of the middle and high lords.

The entrance and school rooms are two distinct parallel lines, one satisfies the higher part of the lower titles, the other satisfies the middle and high lords, and as for the lowest level of the public to keep up with the upper ranks, they are not qualified to be 'officials', their goal is to solve their own livelihood.

Others are not something they can consider.

If they want to send their children to study, they can raise their titles to the rank of hairpin, and this will also give the people at the bottom an upward momentum.

The military merit system under the Shang Dynasty system provided the upward impetus for the Qianshou to obtain enough land to support his family.

The knighthood system designed by Ji Heng provides an upward impetus for the head of the Qian, which is for the officials.

But Shang Ying's system is to be promoted in the form of military merits, but Ji Heng's set, what situation should be used to promote the head of Qian?

Border?

Conscription?

Fusu pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head.

He couldn't think of it.

Hu Hai nodded thoughtfully, and he suddenly said: "According to Ji Heng, what you said, then the hairpin will not be given the reward they have received?" ”

Ji Heng nodded affirmatively and said, "Don't give it." ”

"In addition to providing a hectare of land and a house, all the rewards corresponding to the Shangzao and hairpins have been recovered."

"If you want to be qualified as an official, you have to pay a corresponding price."

"Their identity and status can only get these, if they want to get more, then go to meritorious service and promotion, if they can't do it, then they can only do this."

"To blame."

"Blame Shang Ying's tired people's government."

As soon as Ji Heng's words came out, he suddenly remembered a sentence in later generations: 'If you want to blame, you can only blame yourself for not working hard'.

But is it really that you don't work hard?

It's just that someone has exchanged their cheap resources for most of your life's gains.

At the end of the day, you even have to thank you.

Ji Heng's eyes sank slightly.

He felt as if he was getting cold-blooded.

It's getting more and more like a dragon.

He could have given himself a lot of explanations, but he didn't choose to do so.

His approach is to squeeze the bottom, and through the cheap 'knowledge' in the hands of the government, he will take away the wealth that ordinary people have struggled for most of their lives.

In this way, the leaders at the bottom can continue to work hard.

to provide for the family.

The imperial court can also squeeze more money and grain from this.

The only thing he can compensate for in the future is to increase productivity as much as possible, so that the acres of land in the hands of the Qianshou can produce more grain, so that these suffering Qianshou can have the opportunity to enjoy their old age in peace.

But not yet.

The current Great Qin is not so generous.

There is no such condition.

Only by solving all kinds of hidden dangers can we really make great strides.

Ji Heng raised his head, he was already a little afraid to face the scorching sun, he subconsciously lowered his head, and finally simply closed his eyes.

Fu Su hesitated for a moment, and said uncertainly: "According to what Mr. said, the low-level Qianshou seems to have given up too much, and they may not give up their hard-won farm house and other merits for a place in school." ”

Ji Heng didn't have a straight eye, lay on his back on the recliner, and said coldly: "Naturally, they can't all agree, and it is impossible for the imperial court to afford so many people to go to school, this is destined to be only the choice of some people, as for others, use other methods to deal with it." ”

"As long as there are people who approve of this approach, the purpose of this policy has been achieved."

"Because this is what is used to test the bottom line of Qianshou."

"This is to tell the head of the Qiantou clearly that it is impossible for the government to fully honor those rewards, and this is the best way that the government can provide, if they don't want to, then choose from the remaining solutions."

"But that's exactly what suits them best."

"If not."

"Don't think about going back to Guanzhong!"
