Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Pomp and Circumstance of the Academy

Two months later, my uncle and grandson reported to me that the Baijia School Palace was already full of talents.

Even though many people still refuse to serve Great Qin, the number of people who have already been included in the Academy Palace has reached a considerable number.

Of course, many of them are skeptical, and there are many who are indiscriminate. But the real talent has not been buried, and I am surprisingly satisfied with Shusun Tong's taking charge of the Xue Palace.

After two months of screening and investigation, the people who stayed basically had some skills. Everyone also found that the atmosphere of the school palace was much better than they expected.

Ever since someone sparked a debate over a clash of ideas and found that no one had stopped it, it gradually became a pattern, and every few days someone had a debate on the other side under the pretext that the other party had insulted their school.

Therefore, such a scene is often seen in the school palace:

A: "What? It's just that you don't apologize for stepping on my foot, and you also say that my soldier is simple-minded and has developed limbs, so it doesn't hurt to step on it? Then I'll have to talk to you about Confucianism. Go, do you dare to go to the platform? ”

A certain B: "What do you mean by squinting at me just now?" Do you look down on my doctor? Do you dare to go to the Taoist platform, let me tell you how to use a set of silver needles to cure your crooked mouth and slanted eyes? ”

So a group of people roared to the platform, and then sat upright, and engaged in a hearty debate, so that the uninformed thought that they were dazzled, and what they saw was not the group of people who had just quarreled like ruffians.

The collision of ideas has made the level of learning in the palace advance by leaps and bounds, and the scene of immersion in learning has become a common practice, and people who were still skeptical have also begun to work hard to repair books.

Hearing Shusun Tong's report, I was overjoyed, and at the same time, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: "You people really think that no one cares about you, if it weren't for me to resist the pressure and not allow unrelated people to enter the palace in the name of fire prevention, I wouldn't have known that you would have been killed hundreds of times by these ministers of the court and the central government for this kind of debate that is obviously of a private nature." Relying on deception every day for the welfare of the people, I am very tired! ’

Then looking at the outstanding performers handed over by Shusun Tong, my eyes focused on the first three people:

Soldiers: Wei Chi;

Legalist: 孑武;

Columnist: Sima Li.

After thinking about it for a while, I said to my uncle and grandson: "Follow me to the School Palace, and I want to meet these three people in person." ”

————

The Xue Palace is close to the north bank of the Wei River, not far from the Xianyang Palace. It was originally a doctor's palace, and after Yingzheng ordered a ban on private learning, a few doctors were left with uncles and grandsons who often handled government affairs in it, and it was changed to a hundred school palaces after a little repair.

After arriving at the school palace, I didn't alarm anyone, the school palace at this time was going to hide people's eyes, and the literati were the most pampered and arrogant, so it was better not to let them see me, I asked my uncle and grandson to take the three of them directly to the side hall of the school palace.

After the three of them arrived, they saw me sitting and my uncle and grandson standing, and hurriedly saluted: "Buyi Weichi (Xiao Wu, Sima Li) has seen adults. ”

Shusun Tong hurriedly shouted softly: "This is my Emperor II of Great Qin, I am here to see that the three of you have performed well in the book, so I have come to investigate." ”

The three of them didn't expect that I was the emperor, and said excitedly: "I've seen Your Majesty!" ”

Uncle and grandson gave me an apologetic hand: "Your Majesty asked the minister to keep a low profile, and the minister was worried that there would be many eyes and ears outside, so he did not tell them His Majesty's identity. ”

I waved my hand and said, "You're doing the right thing." The three of you are not allowed to tell me about seeing me, understand? ”

The three of them naturally said yes.

I turned my head to look at the first person, who was about thirty years old, with starry eyebrows and sword eyes, and was heroic.

There are four major factions of soldiers, namely: military power strategists, military situation strategists, military yin and yang scholars, and military technicians.

Wei Chi is the heir of the military power.

I didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "I ask you, do you have a way to deal with the trouble of the Huns?" ”

Wei Chi replied, "Back to Your Majesty." Buyi thought that my Great Qin built the Great Wall and the border soldiers had already resisted the Xiongnu, supplemented by cavalry confrontation, which could make the border pass stable. ”

I was slightly disappointed when I heard this, and there was nothing outstanding about it.

Unexpectedly, the lieutenant replied: "However, raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while." The way of using soldiers has been extremely good in the past, but there are few famous people in the way of raising soldiers. For the trouble of the Huns, Buyi thought that he should raise soldiers.

"What is raising soldiers? Buyi once heard that the military rations of the border army were all transported to the clouds from the internal history, and the loss was very large. Unlike other armies, the border army is dedicated to fighting and does not produce. If the border army is a pawn in war and a farmer in peacetime, it can be farmed and fed, which is the tunbian. Why wasn't this the case before? The Great Wall was not built; ”

"Because of the expiration of their service, soldiers are often replaced, and then they are trained, which is not as good as the old soldiers. Moreover, soldiers were recruited from all over the country, and it took a long time to replace them. It can make the soldiers on the border of the tun stay in the clouds, and it can also make them become a family in the clouds, so that those who have not completed their service can not see their wives. This is a special soldier. ”

……

After listening to Wei Chi's words, I smiled with satisfaction: "Yes, I do have some skills." ”

Hearing this, Wei Chi hurriedly thanked him.

Wei Chi's strategy is the same as the Tuntian system, he is a talent, and he can be handed over to Meng Tian for training like Zhang Han at that time.

Not long ago, Meng Tian also mentioned Zhang Han in the report, and now Zhang Han has been able to lead the army to fight independently, and the report said that Zhang Han "must take the lead in the army, and the soldiers must eat together with virtue, and their strategy is far-sighted, and their war is fast."

I didn't praise too much, worried that Meng Tian would take special care of Zhang Han because of my arrangement, and I told Meng Tian in the recital: It is better to sharpen more.

I looked at the middle person again, and in a trance, I thought I had seen young Li Si, and there was a bit of a look between the eyebrows of the two.

'Looks so similar, and they are both legalists, they can't be Li Si's illegitimate son, right?' I thought evilly. Of course, this is impossible.

I opened my mouth and asked, "Xiao Wu, what do you think of the crime of 'not being straight' of officials in the "Qin Law"? ”

Xiao Wu bowed down and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, 'not straight' refers to the fact that the official is sentenced to a light or serious sentence for a serious crime during the trial. ”

"Bu Yi thinks that the emphasis is on the imperial history. The imperial history is responsible for reviewing and supervising, and only the imperial historian can discover and punish the crime of unrighteousness. However, the number of imperial historians is limited, and it is impossible to carefully check every case. ”

Therefore, Bu Yi thought that a special supervisory office should be established, independent of the imperial history and the court lieutenant, directly under His Majesty. Cases in which both the Imperial Historian and the Imperial Commander were wrongly convicted should be punished for negligence. Not only that, but the official office can also visit everywhere, and if there is a wrong, it must be investigated, and if there is a case, it will be investigated, so that the officials can do their duty to decide the case. ”

I nodded, noncommittal. The method is a good way, but if such an official office is really established, it will inevitably develop into an existence like Jinyiwei.

Personally, I hate this kind of shady organization. Daqin already has a clean room, fortunately, it is only used to collect intelligence and protect the emperor, whether it is Yingzheng or me, they have never been given the power to meddle in the government. The reason why only officials above 1,000 stone know about the existence of the clean room is also because Yingzheng doesn't want to put everyone in danger.

However, this person is really very similar to Li Si, and he must have his use. In fact, I have summarized the characteristics of Li Si, two words: pragmatic.

At the end of the day, whether it's their obsession with power or their rigorous style of doing things, they only serve their own purposes. Maybe that's the character of Legalism.

Then I looked at the third person, who was the one I was most curious about.
