He originally wanted to learn from Chu Wang Qi to commit suicide, but Li Mu sent someone to ask him if he wanted to meet his family.

Xiang Yan sighed. Even if he wants to go with King Chu Qi, he still has to see his family again.

The current Xiang Yan is not as free and easy as Xiang Yan in Zhu Xiang's original history.

Although Xiang Yan in the original history was in the army, his family and clansmen were all arranged, so he could rest assured that he would be martyred.

But now Xiang Yan, the clansmen were plundered by the Qin people early, and the rest of the family members were also captured when Xiang Cheng City was broken. He really couldn't rest assured.

Li Mu handed him the steps, and he descended.

However, Xiang Yan was already dead. He's only alive for the time being. After he confirmed the safety of his family and clansmen, after saying goodbye to his family and clansmen, he would still go with King Qi of Chu.

Even if he and Chu Wangqi may not have much status as monarchs and ministers, most of the time they are in a-for-tat confrontation.

Li Mu also knew that Xiang Yan would not be used by him, he was just looking for an excuse to let him die later.

If you martyr a Chu king and a Chu general first, the Chu people may have too many feelings for the Chu State, making it difficult for the Qin State to govern this land.

What's more, Chu Wangqi probably didn't really want Xiang Yan to accompany him.

The momentum of the Chu State revolt ended completely with Xiang Yan's surrender. The Chu clan and most of the Chu princes were escorted to Xianyang City to await the disposal of Qin Wangzheng. Many students of the Xianyang Academy came to the Chu State as officials with burdens on their backs to teach the Chu people to learn Qin law.

As soon as the Chu clan and the Qing doctor left, most of the fields were returned to the Qin state. After Qin Wangzheng rewarded the Qin army for their meritorious service in this battle, a small part of the land was left, which was distributed to the local Chu people for cultivation according to Qin law.

The people of Chu State did not expect that the Qin State not only did not confiscate their pitiful few self-cultivated fields, but also gave them the land, and their longing for the Chu State immediately decreased.

When Zhu Xiang returned to the Chu State, he was already able to carry out spring ploughing.

Then, Zhu Xiang's headache came true - there was an extreme climate again this year.

This year's winter was particularly long, and there was still freezing until April, and heavy snow fell on the first line of Fangling (now Hubei).

Not to mention Chunmiao, I don't know how many people are frozen to death.

It just so happened that the ballad of "Chu people treat Chun Shenjun and Chu Wang Qi like this, there will definitely be retribution for natural disasters", and now the Chu people thought that they had really suffered retribution.

The culture of the Chu State was different from the culture of the Central Plains, and the ghosts and gods and witchcraft were the most important in the Seven Kingdoms.

When the Chu people saw that the ghosts and gods really punished them, they were panicked one by one, and they didn't dare to go to disaster relief and self-help at all, they only knew to kowtow and beg God to open their eyes. Some people even bury themselves or bury their children in the snow to give sacrifices to ghosts and gods.

Zhu Xiang was busy with disaster relief, and the superstitious Chu people not only did not cooperate, but also caused chaos for him. Li Mudu persuaded him to stop doing it and let this group of Chu people fend for themselves.

Those who do not save themselves do not need to be saved.

Zhu Xiang sighed and asked Li Mu to send someone to build a high altar and go to the altar.

For the superstitious civilians, they can only be attacked with superstition. He had done a mountain and temple in Yunmengze before, and now he would do it again.

Zhu Xiang first questioned God, saying that he would kill the ghosts and gods that harmed the Chu people, and then led his troops to uproot the obscene shrines in various places.

Every time there is a natural disaster, all kinds of strange small religious groups have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and people who cheat money and life have emerged one after another. There are also many bandits who collect wealth in the name of ghosts and gods, arrest Ding, kidnap women, and occupy the mountains and become kings.

Zhu Xiang once again personally led the troops, whether in the mountains or in the water, and pulled out these bandits one by one and beheaded them, saying that this was the "séance" of the god of calamity.

Li Mu wanted to replace him, but was rejected by Zhu Xiang.

"I have a reputation for crusading against ghosts and gods among the people, so if I do it, their morale is the lowest." Zhu Xiang said, "I will suppress the bandits for you, and you will take care of the people for me." We've both gone to suppress the bandits, who will soothe the people? ”

Li Mu had no choice but to temporarily resign his status as a military general and exchange official positions with Zhu Xiang. When Zhu Xiang traveled all over the Jianghuai Plain to crusade against bandits under the banner of ghosts and gods, he was responsible for the disaster relief and spring plowing and replanting work in Chudi.

Li Mu has the ability to govern a country, and it is also very neat to work in a different identity. Lin Zhen wrote a letter to laugh at Li Mu, saying that Li Mu was the temporary commander of Chu State, and he could be regarded as a Xiangguo.

Li Mu replied with contempt.

The cold disaster is nationwide, and Qindi has also been affected.

However, the Qin land is originally northern, and the experience of dealing with cold disasters is much richer than that of the Jianghuai Plain, which has been warm for many years, plus there is no ghost and god theory to confuse the civilians, and the disaster relief and replanting are very active, so the disaster situation is better than that of the Chu people.

In addition, the Qin State had a bumper harvest last year, and most of the Qin families had more surplus grain, and cotton cloth had been popularized, so the number of people who froze to death and starved to death was slightly less than that of the Chu people in the south, which reduced some pressure on Qin Wangzheng.

The other five countries also had a bumper harvest and were barely able to sustain themselves. The grain and cloth of Southern Qin only need to be supplied to Chudi.

When the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State had just unified the world, they felt a headache.

Originally, many ministers of the Qin State were full of ambition after the unification of the Qin State, and they wrote to the King of Qin to continue the southern and northern expeditions and establish immortal achievements.

They also had many novel ideas, such as letting the King of Qin practice in various places to cultivate the Chi Dao, and so on, to build a large number of buildings and show the majesty of the Qin State.

There is no fighting, shouldn't this be a wave?

Qin Wangzheng pressed down the letters of these people one by one.

When the spring was cold, the cold snap not only froze to death the seedlings in the farmer's field, but also froze to death the impetuous heart of the Qin court.

They finally calmed down.

At this time, Qin Wang Zhengcai handed them the letter of Zhu Xiang's request for recuperation and circulation.

Based on historical experience, Zhu Xiang wrote in the above book a series of problems that the Qin State might encounter after it unified the world and suddenly expanded its territory.

It is not easy to conquer the world, and it is even more difficult to govern the world. The "unification" of the Qin State has only now taken its first steps.

"Ladies and gentlemen, encourage you." Qin Wangzheng sighed deeply.

When he destroyed the state of Chu, his mood was excited.

But he was about to become Qin Shi Huang, and his mood immediately became heavy.

In the dream, he had already been Qin Shi Huang once. It didn't go well.

This time, can he be Qin Shi Huang well?

Ying Zheng is not sure.

He has always believed in his work, but he does not dare to be confident in this matter.

In the dream, the future of the Qin State is the second to die, even if the crown prince is Fusu now, he doesn't dare to expect too much.

What you can't do yourself, Fusu can't do. If the Qin State wants to maintain long-term stability, the state affairs must be straightened out in his hands.

Great-Father, Great-Father, and Father-in-Command, generation after generation, restrained their ambitions and put the State of Qin firmly in his hands, he had to walk on thin ice and tremble.

"Lao Zheng, do you think I can do a good job?"

The young Ying Zheng sat opposite the slightly older Ying Zheng, revealing his hesitation in front of Zhu Xiang.

He sat there for a long time, leaving the crumbling dream room.

The slightly old Ying Zheng opened his eyes and sighed faintly.

Chapter 265: On Deeds and Thoughts

At the end of April, the weather finally warmed up.

Zhu Xiang's sword was returned to the sheath and replaced with a hoe.

Li Mu continued to sit on the Jianghuai Plain, serving as the boss and backer for the local officials sent by Qin Wangzheng; Zhu Xiang repaired irrigation and water conservancy that had been abandoned during the war in various places, and instructed farmers in farming.

Because of the severe freezing disaster in Chudi, Xue Ji did not dare to come to the affected Chu land in order to raise Xiao Fusu. However, the cold materials used in Chudi were all prepared by her, and cotton and cotton cloth were continuously transported to Chudi, saving many lives.

Because of the previous "cotton war" in Chudi, the nobles put all the fault on cotton, saying that cotton was a "seed of disaster", because it was planted that cotton led to a famine in Chu, so most of the cotton in Chu was pulled. The Chu people were prejudiced against cotton.

When encountering the cold disaster, some poor scholars and overly superstitious Chu people would rather freeze to death themselves than use cotton and cotton cloth.

For these people, Zhu Xiang can only give up the helping complex.

Qin Wangzheng wrote a letter to Zhu Xiang, saying that after ascending the throne, he would issue an order to seek merit for three consecutive years, so that people from all over the world would come to Xianyang to take the examination to become officials.

Before these scholars come to Xianyang, they must first be reviewed and recommended by the local county examination. The three-level assessment and recommendation system of "college-school-school-palace" should be implemented to the whole country through King Qin's three-year order to seek talents.

Qin Wangzheng established two counties in the Jianghuai Plain. Zhu Xiang happened to be repairing the agricultural infrastructure in Chu in the Jianghuai Plain, and the school-level assessment of the two counties was handed over to Zhu Xiang to be responsible.

Zhu Xiang thought of the last topic of the policy based on the fact that the poor scholars in the Chu State would rather freeze to death than use cotton and cotton cloth - "According to the fact that the nobles of the Chu State forced the Chu people to plant cotton in order to make money and caused a famine, and finally pushed all the pots on the cotton, causing the Chu people to freeze to death and did not use cotton cloth, write a policy to persuade the monarch from the perspective of 'natural disasters and man-made disasters'."

Zhu Xiang sent this topic to Qin Wangzheng by the way, urging Qin Wangzheng to write an article as well. He wanted to check whether Qin Wangzheng had abandoned his studies.

After Qin Wangzheng saw the letter, he crossed his hands and rested his chin on the back of his hand: "The widow is about to become Qin Shi Huang, why do you still have to write your homework?" ”

Zhang Liang and Meng Yi each did their own things, ignoring the muttering King of Qin.

Muttering and muttering, Qin Wangzheng still picked up the book and seriously prepared to write a strategy.

Give yourself advice .jpg.

Qin Wangzheng also got inspiration from the homework assigned to him by Zhu Xiang, and thought of the topic of his strategy for taking scholars in Xianyang Palace - "Heaven is constant".

"The Qin State and the other six countries are in the same place, and they all experience the same natural disasters, why is the Qin State getting stronger and stronger, and the Six Kingdoms getting weaker and weaker?"

This is not simply a few words of praise for the Qin State. The Qin king's dignitaries assessed the scholars' understanding of the specific measures for disaster relief in the Qin state, and whether they could bring forth the new and provide practical suggestions.

There is also a deep-seated political reason for using this topic.

"Heaven is constant" is Xunzi's most important political view. Qin Wangzheng used Xunzi's view for the first time after the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, which is equivalent to admitting the "orthodoxy" of the Confucian doctrine dominated by Xunzi in the Qin Dynasty.

The Qin Dynasty will definitely accept a hundred schools of thought in the future, but it can't be said to the outside world. He had to come up with a "unity of thought".

According to Zhu Xiang's "spoiler", Confucianism has been able to run through Chinese civilization for more than 2,000 years, and its "all-encompassing sacred learning" is the main reason.

With Confucius's "threesomes must have my teacher" to set the tone, the hundred schools of thought suitable for the Qin Dynasty can be incorporated into the official "Neo-Confucianism" of the Qin Dynasty to use.

Even if it is the traditional Legalist ideological tradition of the Qin Dynasty, heh, who is the current leader of Legalism? It's Han Fei, it's Li Si, those are all Xunzi's disciples.

As long as Xunzi is still there, Confucian legalists will not dare to tear their faces.

This is also the reason why Xunzi gritted his teeth and lived even though he was old and sick, and it may be more uncomfortable to live than to die.

He can't die now.

He had to live until the Qin Dynasty was established and set the tone for the convergence of Confucianism and law before he could hand over this burden to Zhu Xiang.

After Zhu Xiang is more than forty and half, and he is impeccable in terms of age and qualifications, and he has his own pioneer to bear the pressure of the initiative for Zhu Xiang, Zhu Xiang can stand alone and suppress the hundred schools of thought and make the hundred schools completely integrated.

After people are too old, they can't eat, drink, sleep well, and their bones are so brittle that they will hurt when they sneeze, and joy and mourning are relief.

But when Xunzi couldn't get rid of it, he could only hold on until the moment when he couldn't hold it anymore.

Qin Wangzheng knew the breath that Xunzi was holding in his heart, and knew that Xunzi was living a difficult life now, but he couldn't do anything.

In his dream, he once wished for immortality, but his uncle told him that those who seek immortality will live a short life.

People always die, even if it's a magical uncle.
