Fusu asked the ministers to bring a cup of tea.

He took a sip, and at the same time thought about it in his mind, and secretly glanced at Li Si, he did not rush to say the true thoughts in his heart directly, but asked about another thing.

Fusu said: "What do you think of Confucianism? ”

Hear the words.

Everyone's eyes were slightly picked, and they were a little puzzled.

Li Si said coldly: "Insects, ants, snakes and rats, lost leaves and stumps." ”

"In the past, the world was chaotic, and all these roots were in the chaos of Confucianism, and today it has been decided, and the law is one, and the people should serve the agricultural and industrial brigades, and the scholars should learn some laws and regulations to dispel the ban."

said.

Li Si glanced at Fusu with a deep gaze.

There was a hint of worry in his eyes.

Li Si paused for a moment and continued: "Scholars should understand what they should do, avoid what they should not do, and be law-abiding people, but in the past, Confucian scholars did not learn from the past, and they regarded criticizing the world as their ability and bewitching the people as their talents, and they did not know the laws of the country. ”

"In ancient times, the world was scattered, and it was impossible to rule the world at once, so there were many princes, and those who talked about it worshiped the past and harmed the present, and made false statements to confuse the facts; Scholars and scholars all learn from private sources, and the study of the state cannot be established. ”

"Now that I am Daqin, I have decided on a black and white statue, but in the past, private scholars still taught illegal learning, but when an official decree was issued, everyone criticized it for their learning."

"If you enter, you will not be in the heart, and if you go out, you will discuss in the streets, promote your own school of thought to gain fame, uphold heresy as a maverick, make noise to the masses, and publicize slander, such evil trends have been prevalent in the past, and the authority of the state is diffused above, and your majesty began to prohibit the people from discussing politics in private and going to the temple to discuss the system, which makes the state affairs unified."

"Confucianism."

"The silverfish of the world, a group of black sheep!"

The wide and bright hall was as quiet as a valley, and only Li Si's voice echoed in the hall.

Fusu smiled bitterly.

He knew that Lees would be mistaken.

Li Si probably thought that he still had old feelings for Confucianism and wanted Confucianism to return to the court, so he deliberately reiterated the facts that had been recognized by the imperial court in the past, which was not a reminder to himself.

Fusu said respectfully: "Thank you Prime Minister for reminding me, it's just that Fusu didn't think of the kindness of Confucianism in the past, but just wanted to ask the ministers a question in the name of Confucianism." ”

"Can Great Qin really sweep Confucianism out of the empire?"

There was silence for a while.

Can you?

I'm afraid not.

Li Si frowned, shook his head and said: "Confucianism has a deep foundation in the world, and it will take a long time to completely pull it up, and now with the expulsion of Confucianism from the court and the promulgation of the book burning law, Confucianism has been like a lost dog in the world, and I believe that it will not be long before Confucianism will have no place in Daqin." ”

Fusu shook his head and continued, "What I'm asking is whether Confucianism can be eradicated from the empire? ”

Li Si hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "For now, it's difficult. ”

"Confucianism is extremely demagogic and indemagogic to the people at the bottom, and over the years, it has been linked with the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, colluding to eradicate Confucianism from the empire, which cannot be done in a short time."

"At present, the imperial court can only contain it, but it can't really eliminate it."

Listening to Li Si's answer, Fusu was noncommittal.

He said lightly: "I have some understanding of the situation of Confucianism, so it is different from what the prime minister said, or there are some differences, in my opinion, the reason why Confucianism is difficult, in addition to what the prime minister said, is that Confucianism is eroded at the bottom of the moment, since the Zhou royal family weakened, the Son of Heaven lost his official position, and after learning in Siyi, the knowledge that was originally mastered by the princes of various countries leaked out and fell to the place, and then created the first one or two hundred years of prosperity. ”

"However, in the hundreds of years of this world of great controversy, too many schools have emerged, and too many schools have declined, or even died out, and there are only a few schools in the world that have really been developing."

"Among them is Confucianism."

"I don't know much about Taoism, so I don't comment much."

"Qin established the country by law."

"Legalism thrives because it is rooted in Qin."

"And what about Confucianism?"

"In the past, there was one of the six countries that studied Confucianism?"

"Nope."

So why has Confucianism continued to grow and develop? Why? ”

Fusu kept asking.

Li Si and the others frowned, but they didn't speak.

Curious Fusu's understanding of this.

Fusu said slowly: "The reason is actually already said by the prime minister. ”

"The study of the country cannot be established."

"The study of the country can not be based, but the thirst for literacy and hyphenation at the bottom will not be weakened, and Confucianism has always advocated education without class, compared with the invisible threshold of Legalism and Taoism, the threshold for admission to Confucianism is actually very low, so it is welcomed by local heroes and some declining aristocrats, and they are also willing to give a few pieces of dried meat, so that their children can learn knowledge and master words."

"In the process of learning words and mastering knowledge, Confucian ideas are also imperceptibly spreading."

"For more than 100 years, Confucianism has been rooted in the habit of being rooted in the bottom, although it has not been officially listed as a prominent school by various countries, but in fact it has already become a prominent school, and all parts of the world have been influenced by Confucianism."

"Place is the key."

"The Legalists launched the practice of taking officials as teachers and teaching the law."

"Ministers, how many people do you think can enter the school? If people want to learn the law, how many ways can they learn it? Prime Minister Li Cheng provided a method for the imperial court, but this method was shelved and unattainable. ”

"It's too difficult for the Qin people to learn the decree."

"I don't know why?"

"Shouldn't the decree be something that every Qin person should know? Why did the imperial court invisibly form such a high threshold? Are you worried that knowing the law will affect your fairness and justice in handling political affairs? ”

"Why else?"

The crowd was silent.

Fusu didn't say much about it, and continued: "I believe that you are all impartial and law-abiding, and maybe there are some hidden secrets that I don't know, so Fusu won't say much. ”

"There are too few classrooms in Daqin."

"And there are even fewer people who can go into the school room."

"And there are a lot of things to learn in the school, in addition to the most basic literacy and hyphenation, but also to learn military affairs, learn arithmetic, etc., so most of the officials trained by the Daqin school can be literate and martial, and they are also talents who can be independent."

"However, as far as Fusu knows, is what Daqin really lacks at the moment such a talented person?"

"It's not."

"It's a small official."

"Those little eaters, to be exact."

"But how many low-level officials in Great Qin had access to laws and regulations in the past? How many opportunities do you have to learn the law? ”

"Looking at the hundreds of thousands of officials in Great Qin, there are probably only a handful of people who really understand Qin Law."

"And what they have been exposed to since childhood is not the Fa."

"It's a Confucian !!"

"Qin Confucianism is light, and Qin Confucianism is separated."

"The reason why Kanto is incompatible with Qin is that there is no subtle propaganda of Confucianism."

"Last year, His Majesty expelled Confucianism from the court, and Prime Minister Li Cheng even went directly to the book, burned some Confucian classics, and even issued a book burning order, not to weaken the influence of Confucianism on the bottom, but Guanzhong may be able to do it, but what about Kanto?"

"And does it really work?"

"Over the years, Guanzhong and Guandong have carried out several population exchanges, and the number of old Qin people in Guanzhong is actually not much more than the number of new Qin people from Guandong, and most of the people left in the family are old and weak women and children, in this case, I am afraid that many old Qin people have gradually been influenced by Confucianism."

"Confucianism messes with the law."

"Since the population relocation between Guanzhong and Guandong, the governance of Guanzhong has become more and more difficult, the legal system of Guanzhong has gradually collapsed, and even more and more people are indifferent to the law, but how can the imperial court really do anything wrong?"

"The root cause is floating in people's hearts."

"Confucianism!"

"These Kwantung people are full of Confucianism, and subtly also affect the old Qin people in Guanzhong, making them gradually distrust Qin Law, and even feel a little harsh and cold, so if this situation is not reversed as soon as possible, the old Qin people and the Great Qin will be separated from morality, I am afraid it will only be a matter of time."

"That's why Fusu's solution to the sergeants and soldiers of the army comes from this."

"This is also the inspiration I got from Prime Minister Lee's advice."

"Start from the root and start from the bottom."

"Be concise and to the point."

"Enrollment!"

"Lower the qualifications for Qin people to enter the school and lower the threshold for Qin people to accept the law."

"In the past, only young people who entered the school had the opportunity to come into contact with the laws of Daqin and learn the laws and regulations."

"This situation should change."

"In the past, only the family with the doctor-level title could afford a school child, and in the future, this condition will be greatly reduced, but the school should be divided into two grades, the higher level will remain the same, and the primary conditions will be reduced to the upper and hairpin, but there are at least hundreds of thousands of people who have reached the title of Shangzao, so the real access standard is the critical boundary between the upper and the hairpin."

"Shangzao is only eligible, but if you want your own children to enroll, you need to meet additional conditions."

"This can not only solve some of the problems of merit rewards in the army, but also make the legal system deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, deepen the influence of Qin Law in Guanzhong, and at the same time, with the help of this law, it can also cultivate many low-level officials for Daqin, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone."

"In the future, these children of the Qin people will learn the law and the law, and they will practice the law and the law."

"In this way, we can continue to encroach on the bottom layer influenced by Confucianism, regain the control of the bottom that should be unique to the imperial court, and then sweep away the poison of Confucianism to the world step by step."

"So as to completely consolidate the legal system of Qin!"

Fusu said very excitingly.

He is well aware of the impact of 'enrollment' on the world.

Not only has an impact on Guanzhong, but also has an impact on Kanto, with the stability of Guanzhong, this system is destined to be transmitted to Kanto, and then Kanto will also have the opportunity to learn the true situation of Qin Law, and even the Qin people in Kanto are also qualified to learn and master Qin Law, in this case, how can the Qin people in Kanto be so easily bewitched by Confucianism? Especially if it is easy to be moved by Confucianism?

The position at the bottom, if the court does not occupy it, will be occupied by others.

In the past, the imperial court ignored it.

But how can the imperial court ignore it now?

Listening to Fusu's generous speech, all the courtiers were silent.

Lower the standard of literacy and hyphenation.

The threshold for learning laws and regulations will be further lowered.

It's just that so many people are enrolled, and the imperial court will spend a lot more, but compared to Du He's worry about money, others have a refreshing feeling about Fusu's suggestion.

Fusu's focus is not on the reward itself, but on other places.

For example, the children of these Qianshou households.

This is something they didn't think about in the past.

Moreover, Fusu has made it very clear that this move is to reduce the need for land and houses for military merits, secondly, it is also to strengthen and deepen the promotion and propaganda of local laws in Guanzhong, and thirdly, it is also to suppress the infiltration of Confucianism into the bottom.

And the elementary school is different from the normal school.

These people who came out of the elementary school only knew some laws and regulations, and knew some words, but that's all, if they were officials, they could still only start from the very beginning.

On the contrary, it provided a lot of low-level officials for the imperial court.

Great Qin was already short of officials, although these officials, normally speaking, do not meet the selection criteria for officials, but compared to the Kanto region, who did not know anything about Qin law, these officials who came out of the elementary school at least knew Qin law and knew some Qin law.

This is obviously more appropriate than the officials of the past.

Many officials thought about it for a while, and finally looked at Li Si.

Fang Cai Fusu has said very clearly, the reason why he can think of this solution is actually from the idea mentioned by Li Si, so Li Si has more say in Fusu's suggestion.

Everyone was waiting for Li Si to speak.

Li Si glanced around lightly, knowing what these people were thinking.

Fusu's suggestion was true, which surprised him a little.

Even somewhat unexpected.

He did mention in the past that 'the study of the state cannot be based', but he did not delve into it, but only wanted to suppress Confucianism, but Fusu drew inferences from others, went further on his own ideas, and proposed more practical methods.

This made Li Si deeply relieved.

And what Fusu said is not unreasonable, the reason why Confucianism can be so rampant is because they have always had influence on the bottom, so they dare to be so fearless, if the imperial court strengthens its control over the bottom, Confucianism will also be completely collapsed, and the imperial court can also continue to consolidate the influence of Qin Law in the world.

In the end, the world will be ruled by one country.

However, Li Si did not speak easily, but kept weighing it in his mind.

As the prime minister of Great Qin, he has a great influence on the imperial court, and it is easy to affect the judgment of other courtiers, so his words and deeds must be considered thoroughly, after a period of contemplation, Li Si still nodded.

He agreed with the solution.

I do think it's a viable approach.

However, just as Li Si was about to speak, someone on the side spoke in advance.

"The minister disagrees with His Highness's law."

These words were like a thunderbolt, which instantly attracted everyone's sideways, and everyone looked at the place where the voice came from, staring at this thin and cold young man in astonishment.

Duch was oblivious to the strange gaze around him.

He stood up straight and said with a respectful face: "As a young minister, he is in charge of the world's money and grain, and if he has different opinions on His Highness's law, he really doesn't dare to agree easily. ”

"Dare to fight!"
