The third person is the Zongheng family: Sima Li.

I'm really curious about this person, there are too many legendary stories about the Zongheng family.

In terms of numbers, it is not as good as the other sons. But it is only the great names of Guiguzi, the founder of the Zongheng family, Su Qin and Zhang Yi, two brothers of the same sect, who must be known and known.

Su Qin was heroic when he was in contact with the Six Kingdoms; Shang Ying, Sun Bin, Pang Juan and other bigwigs are known as the disciples of Guigu; In addition, the mysterious legend that the ghost valley of the past dynasties only passed down one vertical and one horizontal two people, etc., has added countless legends to this school.

Sima Li also has a detached temperament, although he is wearing a black coarse cloth robe, he is neatly organized, his posture is straight, his face is slightly yellow, and his lips are the same as those of the Qin Warriors.

For some reason, this unique temperament made me feel more and more awkward about this person, and a sense of distrust rose in my heart.

Shaking my head, I think maybe I was suspicious, after all, this man looked to be in his early twenties. Although Fusu's body is only sixteen years old, it is my twenty-seven-year-old soul in my body at this moment.

I thought for a moment and said, "Sima Li, I want to know, what do you think of Qin and the Six Kingdoms?" ”

Sima Li didn't even look flustered.

You know, there's a trap in it, and it's an obvious trap!

There is only one answer to this question, that is, to praise the strength of the Qin State and the inspirational spirit of the King of Qin. There is nothing else to say.

Some people may ask, who wouldn't praise the Qin State? But boasting is also skillful.

Either you directly praise the Qin State. But there are many people who can flatter him, as an emperor, his ears are calloused when he listens to other people's flattery every day, even if he recites the first half of "On the Passage of Qin" to me on the spot, it is difficult to escape the truth of slapping the horse;

Don't directly praise the Qin State? Then it can only belittle the Six Nations. But it's not so easy to belittle the Six Nations, do you have a sense of proportion? depreciate, fall into the cliché of the former; Depreciated, what, do you mean that the Qin State unified the six wastes? I just want to ask you how many heads are enough for me to cut off?

My curiosity grew even more at the moment, and I was eager to hear what he could say to me. With his current performance, he either didn't guess my mind and just slipped his beard; Either you have something to say about it.

After taking a sip of tea, I only heard Sima Li's slightly magnetic voice sound: "Your Majesty." ”

"When Buyi was in Beidi County, he heard anecdotes about the heads of the two Qians.

One person's family has 100 acres of fertile land, full of children and grandchildren, the eldest son is in charge of the house, the second son is good at farming, and the third son is familiar with the world.

The number of people in a family of four. Although the eldest son has the power of Kong Wu, he fights in the market all day long, and is in the company of local ruffians, and the second daughter is sick in bed. The family is only a few acres of poor land and hundreds of bamboo trees.

However, in just a few years, the wealth status of a family of four far exceeds that of a 100-acre family.

Buyi is brave, may I ask Your Majesty, why? ”

I pondered for a moment and said, "You said that the family of four, the eldest son is powerful, and the second daughter is sick in bed, it must be related to the eldest child?" ”

Sima Li arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty is wise." Although the eldest child was idle all day, he participated in the battle of attacking Wei in a military service, beheaded more than ten, and gave him the title of Zuo Shuchang. As a result, the family of four has soared, far exceeding the 100-acre house. ”

"This is to answer Your Majesty's views on Qin and the Six Kingdoms."

However, after more than ten years, the family of four has taken a sharp turn and once again fell into a situation of starvation. Dare to ask Your Majesty, why? ”

I frowned, thought for a while, and said, "My Great Qin attacked and destroyed the Six Kingdoms, exactly more than ten years, could it be related to the destruction of the Six Kingdoms?" ”

Sima Li replied: "Yes." In the past ten years, Great Qin has frequently launched wars to destroy the country, and countless Qin soldiers have been granted fiefs. Why is a title honorable? Scarcity also. The attack is flourishing, and the title is promising. When the world is unified, the soldiers will stop fighting, there will be no fighting, no land can be divided, and the lord will gradually decrease, and finally he will be poor. ”

"This is also an answer to Your Majesty's views on Qin and the Six Kingdoms."

After listening to Sima Li's words, I carefully observed this person again.

Why can Great Qin dominate the world? The biggest reason is that killing the enemy can quickly gain status and wealth, so the Qin soldiers are called "tiger and wolf soldiers" and Qin is called "tiger and wolf country".

Why was Great Qin so turbulent after unifying the world? Not only is there a flood of knighthoods, but there is no fighting except for the borders, and there is no way for civilians to rise. However, the titles below the Marquis of Che and the Marquis of Guannei are inherited by demotion, and some are even directly demoted to nine levels, which will inevitably lead to the inferiority of one generation in the people's families.

The energy of the restoration of the Six Kingdoms alone was not enough to set off a wave of uprising, and if the people did not follow, those nobles of the Six Kingdoms would not be able to make much waves.

It coincides with my desire to reform the military merit system.

I said slowly, "Yes, very good. ”

Sima Li arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty." Buyi has never been involved in political affairs, just the words of a family. ”

I didn't say much, but said to the three of them: "I am very satisfied with your investigation today. And you are here to cultivate in peace, and I will definitely use you again when I have the opportunity. ”

The three of them hurriedly thanked them.

After walking out of the side hall, my uncle and grandson sent me to the gate of the school palace.

"What does Your Majesty think of the three of you?" Shusun Tong asked. He also saw that I was not particularly happy, but rather preoccupied.

I nodded: "Talented." However, more needs to be examined. You should always pay attention to the three of them, and if there is anything special, you can pay attention to it and report it to me at the right time. ”

Uncle and grandson bowed and said yes.

After returning to the Temple of the Four Seas, I thought about it for a while.

Wei Chi has nothing to say, and after a while, he will be thrown to Shangjun for actual combat.

Looking at his personality, I'm a little worried that he's going to be a cool official. However, as long as you are loyal to me and Great Qin, it is not too much of a shortcoming.

As for Sima Li, answering my question can be said to be right in my heart. But I still feel the same way when I see him for the first time, and I always feel that something is wrong with this person, but I can't say it. Some people say that the Zongheng family is a conspirator, is it influenced by this?

I didn't figure it out after thinking about it for a long time, so I simply threw it aside and observed it for a while.

————

Then I picked up the newspaper and prepared to deal with government affairs. The first is the recital of Ge Yue.

More than three months have passed since I arranged for the inventory of the acres. Ge Yue made it clear in the report that up to now, the inventory of acres in 20 counties and counties has been completed, and the speed is still relatively fast.

Moreover, the progress was relatively smooth, and there were no major obstacles, at most it was a cover-up and the like, and they were dealt with one by one.

Judging from these 20 counties, from the 26th year of the First Emperor to the 32nd year of the First Emperor, the increase in fields was still relatively large, and the rate of increase gradually slowed down after the 32nd year. One is the cause of land annexation, and the other is the increasing conscription that leads to the barrenness of the fields.

Just as I continued to look down, suddenly Qi Wan came in to report and asked to see Ge Yue.

When Ge Yue came in, I asked, "I'm reading your recital, what's the matter?" ”

Ge Yue looked anxious, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, something happened in Surabaya County!" ”
