How to plow thousands of miles for the first emperor's cub Section 466
They recommended the old man, raised a lot of money, and quietly asked someone to find Lian Po's subordinates, asking if there was any big one behind.
Lian Po couldn't laugh or cry.
"As long as there is enough military rations to eat. Now that you've raised enough, there's no need to levy more. Lian Po said, "The Qin State has almost unified the world, and there is a lot of land that can collect taxes. It's just a small Yan country, and you don't need to scrape away all the grain in your hands. ”
After Su Lao went back to explain, Zhao Min seemed to understand.
"So, it may be better for us to follow King Qin than to follow King Zhao?"
"A king who can be worse than King Zhao is estimated to be rare. What's more, Zhu Xianggong and Lian Gong are back. ”
"Yes."
So Zhao Min was relieved, and continued to be busy in the field with a hoe, without leaving the field and hiding in the mountains.
Now is the time when the green and yellow are not harvested, but Zhao Min has food to eat. Although the grain will be mixed with some wild vegetables to be full, it is also food, not grass roots, bark and dirt.
If you can eat all-you-can-eat wild vegetables, it will also be a good year.
Not to mention that in addition to "living" in their minds, it is difficult to think about other civilians of Zhao State, even the people of Zhao Guoshi feel that after the fall of Zhao State, their lives are better than before.
King Zhao was reckless every year, and he didn't care about domestic cultivation and production, let alone civilians, even the poor scholars had no surplus food at home.
Moreover, the Qin State had already built an academy in the Zhao State, and their group of poor scholars did not need to take refuge in the great nobles, but they could also have the possibility of becoming officials. Compared with King Zhao, it is true that King Qin is more virtuous.
For most scholars, as long as they can be officials, they don't care which king they are.
Legally, the whole of China in the pre-Qin era belonged to the Zhou Dynasty, and scholars moved frequently between the vassal states. From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, more than 140 small countries became seven large countries. The scholars of the world have long been mentally prepared for the reunification of the country.
Perhaps the high positions of the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms are psychologically unbalanced, but most scholars actually only need a way to rise to be grateful to the new monarch.
So Zhao Guoshi no longer mentioned that he was a "Zhao Guo" scholar, but only called himself a Zhao Dishi and actively cooperated with King Qin to destroy Yan.
They even took their families to join the army with swords, willing to fight for the King of Qin.
Now that only the Yan State and the Chu State are left in the Six Kingdoms, if they don't seize the opportunity, it will be difficult for them to make meritorious contributions and be knighted!
Although he studied all the way to the academy and academy and was able to be an official in Qin, being an official was different from being a knight. They had the intention of being an official in the Qin State, and naturally they also wanted to go further and be knighted in the Qin State.
The news of Zhao Dishi's rapid return to his heart reached Xianyang, and everyone in Xianyang sighed, not surprised, really not surprised at all.
Zhu Xianggong and Lian Gong were the great sages of the Zhao State. They returned to Zhao State, and Zhao Guo didn't just return to their hearts.
Xunzi has returned to Xianyang.
As soon as he came back, he ordered someone to hold down Lin Zhen and Cai Ze, and personally beat the two of them to take several days off to recuperate, and when Lin Zhen and Cai Ze came back to the court, the lumps on their faces had not dissipated.
Confucianism is the most face-heavy. Xunzi beat his face, which shows what his anger has become.
Qin Wangzheng was so frightened that he drove to find Xunzi, but was locked out of the door by Xunzi, and obediently waited at the door for an hour before being put in by Xunzi.
It was spring snow. In order to make Xunzi soft-hearted, Qin Wangzheng deliberately did not let people hold an umbrella for him.
When Xunzi went out, the snow had already accumulated into a small snowdrift on Qin Wangzheng's shoulders, and Xunzi was scolded for it.
King Qin was "Xunmen Lixue", so naturally he was not beaten.
In his letters, he triumphantly boasted of his foresight to his uncle.
Xunzi still didn't discourage Lin Zhen and Cai Ze. After Qin Wangzheng "Xunmen Lixue", Xunzi kicked Lin Zhen from the position of Xiangguo.
He would rather be tired and go to court a few more times, rather than let Lin Yi mess around.
Lin Zhen is not worthy of being a minister at all!
So the reason for "Xunmen Lixue" in later generations became that Qin Wangzheng invited Xunzi to be the prime minister, and also made up words such as "Now that the world is unified, it is time for Confucian sages to go out of the mountain".
The truth is buried in the diary of the person concerned, and it is not known if there will be a day when he will see the light of day.
Although he became Xiangguo, from Qin Wangzheng to Lin Zhen and Cai Ze, they didn't dare to let Xunzi be tired, so the trivial things were still done by these two people. Xunzi had one more job to "watch" Qin Wangzheng, not to let Qin Wangzheng take risks on a whim, and teach Qin Wangzheng by the way.
Xunzi held the hot tea: "Zhao Di returned to his heart, and Wang also thought it was Zhu Xiang and Lian Po's reason?" ”
Qin Wangzheng said: "There is an uncle and a cheap father, but the deep-seated reason is not this. ”
He took out a letter from his cuff: "Uncle's letter." ”
Xunzi said angrily: "I don't look at Zhu Xiang's answer, I ask your answer!" ”
King Qin said: "My ......"
Xun Zi glared.
Qin Wangzheng immediately put away his smile and said with a straight face: "The intention of the widow is the same as that of my uncle." The civilians of Zhao have food to eat, and the people of Zhao have officials, which is the most fundamental reason. ”
Xun Zi bowed: "This is the people's heart." ”
Xunzi looked at Qin Wangzheng, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became, he was worthy of the child he had seen since he was a child, the embryo of the holy king in his mind.
Although sometimes naughty, how can young people not be lively? Just get it right.
Of course, if you catch the assassin with any force, you should be beaten.
Fortunately, Zheng'er has been filial since he was a child, and Zhu Xiang and Xue Ji can control him. If there is a Qin King who is arbitrary and unrestrained, it will be another "death carrying the crown".
"The fall of the Yan State is imminent, and only the Chu State remains. With the current strength of the Qin State, there is no need for any strategy, and the dignified military strength can crush the Chu State. Xunzi took a sip of tea, "You should think about what you need to do after reunification." ”
King Qin said: "The widow will first exempt the world from paying taxes for one year, and promise not to use conscription and soldiers for one year." ”
A smile appeared on the corner of Xunzi's mouth: "Can you hold back?" ”
Qin Wangzheng said solemnly: "Yes!" ”
Xun Zi smiled and shook his head: "Tell the truth with Xun Weng." ”
The serious expression on Qin Wangzheng's face collapsed: "Xun Weng, taxes must be exempted." As for conscription and military service...... cough, when the farm is slack, civilians are conscripted to build canals and roads near their hometowns for the good of the civilians, and they are not counted as conscription; The Qin army in various places should not be counted as soldiers. ”
Xunzi smiled and sighed: "Yes, you can know it in your heart." Only that? How is the land divided? ”
Xunzi asked the point at once, and Qin Wangzheng sighed in his heart.
"The widow must fulfill his military merits." King Qin said, "Then recompile the household registration and divide the land." ”
Xunzi said: "Where does the land come from?" ”
King Qin said: "The land of the clan." ”
Xunzi said: "It's not enough." ”
Qin Wangzheng said helplessly: "Xun Weng ......"
Xun Zi said: "You will take all the land of the six secretaries and doctors, and then redistribute the land to them, right?" ”
Qin Wangzheng said with a straight face: "If they are willing to be officials in the Qin State, they can also keep some more land." ”
Xunzi shook his head: "You will set off a lot of fighting, you can't do this." ”
King Qin said: "Military merits must be honored. ”
After Zhu Xiang told Qin Wangzheng about the "future", corresponding to Qin Wangzheng's own memories in the dream, Qin Wangzheng realized his biggest mistake after unifying the world - the distribution of fields.
After Qin Shi Huang unified the world, in order to appease the people of the world, he ordered the people of the world to realize their own fields, and the consequence of giving up land redistribution was not only that the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms controlled the place, but also chilled the hearts of the soldiers who fought for the Qin State.
Qin Shi Huang's response to this was the northern expedition to the Xiongnu and the southern expedition to Baiyue, and the barbarian land could be distributed at will, which could repay the arrears of military merits.
However, in Zhu Xiang's words, Qin Shi Huang did not learn well in geography and geology and agriculture. There is a drought in the north, a miasma in the south, and the environment is very bad, and the land that is divided there is not a reward, but exile.
What the Qin soldiers wanted was the fertile land in the east, and they wanted to go to the Central Plains to enjoy happiness, not to be exiled to the north and south to suffer after making meritorious contributions.
What's more, the Southern Expedition and the Northern Expedition had a lot of conscripted military service, and the immediate military merit could not only have been divided into the land, but also exempted from conscription. That promise was broken again.
The Qin Emperor lost his promise to the Qin people, and the Qin people made the Qin Emperor lose the world.
This "Qin Emperor" does not refer to Qin Shi Huang alone, but to the emperor of the Qin Dynasty. Whether it is Qin Shi Huang or Qin II, this is the agreement between the emperor of the Qin Dynasty and the people of the Qin Dynasty, and it is the heart of the monarch and the people.
Zhu Xiang told Qin Wangzheng that after Liu Bang got the world, he learned this lesson.
Liu Bang was poor and white and couldn't even get together the horses of the same color to pull the cart, there were kings with different surnames in the country, and there were Huns in the north who were ready to move, but he still gritted his teeth first and cashed in the fields of all the soldiers of Guanzhong in the Kwantung who followed him to fight.
At the same time, Liu Bang also exempted the soldiers who stayed in Guandong from six years of conscription, and the soldiers who were willing to go to Guanzhong to settle down for 12 years.
In matters other than the throne, Liu Bang is very righteous, even for soldiers.
This is where King Qin should learn.
Qin Wangzheng thought so.
He was first the King of Qin, and then Qin Shi Huang. Therefore, after winning the world, he should first give benefits to the Qin people who followed him in the southern and northern wars, so as to benefit the people of the world.
This is what my uncle called the "basic plate".
Qin Shi Huang was very good to the heroes. But because he didn't have the opportunity to contact people with a lower status than him from the proton to the prince to the monarch, he didn't see the ordinary Qianshou, who was also a great contributor to the unification of the world by the Qin State, so he made the mistake of "the king bullying the people" and reduced his prestige and the prestige of the Qin Emperor.
Qin Wangzheng should follow the example of a certain "Zhen Qin II", first let the Qin people be fed, and then talk about appeasing the Six Kingdoms.
Therefore, even if he wants to mobilize a large number of troops, even if he wants to pull the Qin army to unify the world again, Qin Wangzheng must fulfill his promise.
He believed that as long as he did this, no matter how many times the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms rebelled, Great Qin's army would still be able to crush them easily.
But Xunzi should be reluctant to use troops again, so Qin Wangzheng deliberately did not make it clear.
But Xunzi kept asking, alas.
Qin Wangzheng looked at Xun Zi with some complaint in his eyes: "Xun Weng knows what the widow will do, and he must do it, why force the widow to quarrel with Xun Weng." ”
Xunzi glared at the child who was about to be coquettish to his elders as he spoke, and said, "Who wants to quarrel with you, get down to business!" ”
Qin Wang Zheng said: "What the widow said is the right thing. ”
Xunzi glared at Qin Wangzheng, and Qin Wangzheng looked at Xunzi with confidence.
Xunzi sighed: "Alas, I'm not saying that you shouldn't do the matter of dividing the land, but you are too direct in doing this, you can be tactful." ”
Qin Wangzheng asked, "Does Xun Weng have any better proposals?" ”
Xunzi said: "Zhu Xiang opened up many fields in the south, and often complained that the fields were fertile, but there was not enough manpower. You can exchange the fields of Southern Qin for the fields of the Central Plains, and let them migrate to Southern Qin. ”
Qin Wangzheng frowned: "But if that's the case, will they make Southern Qin unstable?" ”
Xunzi said with a smile: "The fields of the nobles of Shiqing are not owned by one family, but by one family. You send talented people in your family or who have been high-ranking officials to Xianyang, and then send their clans to Southern Qin. ”
Qin Wangzheng thought about it and understood what Xunzi meant: "Break up their clan?" ”
Xunzi said: "As long as the clan is scattered, the hearts of the people will also be scattered." Some fields only, and the king can be generous. Now the world is very large, and there are very few people, and the king is not short of land now, but he cannot let them gather. ”
Qin Wangzheng said with a smile: "After many years of operation by my uncle, Nanqin's reputation of wealth has resounded all over the world. The widows migrated them to Southern Qin to treat them with courtesy. ”
