Daqin: Robbing Qin Shihuang at the beginning

Chapter 138 Receiving Books
Ying Zheng looked at the performance below calmly from above, and his heart was already full of joy. This is a good sign, and all the officials are boasting. If they are asked to cut their flesh, they can only smash their teeth into their stomachs pharynx.

As for today's court meeting, it was indeed what they discussed.

In the beginning, these people were all his confidantes, who came to cheer him up, but they were willing to be an example, donate their own books, and give up the situation of knowledge monopoly.

As for those who are unwilling to give up?It couldn't be his confidant, at most he was an important minister, such as Feng Quji who had never said a word.

He has long seen the significance of this behavior, but he does not intend to dedicate his ethnology just like this.

Although his Feng family does not have the same origin strength as the Wang family and the Meng family, in general, it is still very full.

Moreover, the confidantes of these family forces of Yingzheng have one characteristic, that is, they were born as warriors.

In the early years, Yingzheng had contacted far more warriors than literati. For a while, he even wanted to drive Li Si away from Qin, but Li Si persuaded him to come back and gave up this mentally retarded behavior.

But he still believed in the concept that the fist is more powerful than the tongue, so that the Kong family, Xun family, Feng family, Zhou family and other literati families with profound ethnology were not very close.

As for Feng Quji, it was because of Feng Jie, who was a military man in his family, as foreign aid, and Feng Wuze, Feng Quji became Prime Minister Zuo, and it was inseparable from these two military officials.

But only he knew in his heart that Ying Zheng's trust in him, Prime Minister Zuo, was obviously less than that of Li Si, Gan Luo, Meng Yi and others, and it was only because he had been in power for a long time that he was stable.

As for ethnology, he didn't want to show it.

He is also clear about the ability of his next generation, or so, there is no outstanding next generation in the family, but if there is an outstanding one, he will not use this family study as a bargaining chip.

As for those who support Yingzheng, Meng Yi who is willing to use ethnology, and Li Si and Wang Wan, except for Wang Wan who is special, his son Wang Tengcang has become a monk, either he is still young, or the next generation is remarkable. point of place.

Only he, Feng Quji, seems to be about to die.

Thinking of this, Feng Quji couldn't help but sighed quietly. In fact, he felt that he had been in this position for a while, but before that, he might as well find a good way out for the younger generation.

When the atmosphere was heated, Li Si, Meng Yi and others even went to discuss the benefits of paper and engraving among the officials, but if you look carefully, you will find that they are looking for family power.

Fusu praised the paper maker and the great significance of paper almost to the point of smoke, but Ying Qi didn't mean to interrupt him at all, just listened quietly, laughing and echoing from time to time, which made him a good teacher His mentality was not fully satisfied, so he simply stopped saying a few more words.

Ying Qi looked at Fu Su, feeling a little unsatisfied. It is not a particularly happy thing to be flattered by others, but it is really a happy thing to let someone whose status is higher than his own pat his horse.

Seeing that Fusu had no desire to continue talking, he simply started to listen to the discussions of the other courtiers, but not long after that, he was interrupted by Ying Zheng's dry cough.

Among the noisy officials, who can make everyone quiet with a single voice, then only Ying Zheng, he coughed lightly, directly attracted the attention of the officials present, and calmed down the place, instantly quieted down .

"What do you guys think?"

"The most important weapon of the country, Your Majesty!"

"It's really the great Qin's luck!"

"..."

Under the leadership of Li Si and the others, the crowd also began to praise wildly, but they were stopped by Ying Zheng's vain palm. He didn't want to listen to these people's flattery.

"The method is good, but the main problem is that there are not enough books. You have all seen that the handwriting on the engraving block and the things printed on the paper are completely the same. Without the corresponding content support, this technology is no matter how good it is. .”

In an instant, the ministers became quiet, and some ministers who were not aware of Ying Zheng's true intentions at the beginning were completely numb at the moment.
"Your Majesty was joking. His Majesty's collection of books in Xianyang Palace covers all the knowledge in the world, many of which are unheard of by the ministers. How could it be insufficient?"

A minister with closed eyes spoke first, he performed Tai Chi with a smile, and kicked the ball back.

Ying Zheng just looked at him coldly, which made the minister feel uneasy.

And Meng Yi stood up, "Knowledge, of course, is to win over others. Your Majesty has put a lot of energy into building the academy. Your Majesty will travel thousands of miles to get the books of Jixia Academy, including the books in Chudi." Now, as for your ethnology, of course the more the better."

"And think about it, everyone, they just took out the books and printed them again, and they didn't steal them. Why are you panicking? The whole world belongs to His Majesty, let alone these books?" Li Si said coldly.

"Or, Mr. Zhou, you don't want to donate the books in the family?" Zhao Gao echoed abruptly.

Don't look at his usual quarrel with some courtiers, but that's because he is standing on Yingzheng's point of view. Although he and Meng Yi have a bad relationship, the big position is on Yingzheng's side.

"I...of course I am willing." The so-called Master Zhou retreated silently and chose to appoint.

"Of course, I'm not whoring for nothing. When the academy is established, the first batch of students will be selected from among your children."

Feng Quji, who was thinking about how to get the most benefit, suddenly raised his head.

Isn't this sentence a way of guaranteeing their heir status?

The system of the Great Qin Dynasty is still the system of military merit. Many civil servants in the imperial court are members of the military officer's tribe, or are lobbyists. Few of them have entered the emperor's eyes based on their knowledge.

There are many people who express their suggestions to Ying Zheng every year, but only a few people are really in high positions, and many middle-level literati cannot obtain corresponding official positions.

Because there is a comparison, there is a gap in my heart.

Ying Zheng has seen a lot of good ideas, and when he sees some mediocre ones, he will subconsciously drop a notch.

It’s like when you go to the Lancome store to buy something, the water next to it costs 01 yuan, and the sunscreen here costs a few hundred, but you think it’s very cheap. Compared with other sunscreens, this price is more than 30:[-] points more expensive. It is this psychology that is playing.

Therefore, most of the middle and lower-level officials are selected from a certain academy, or they are members of the family. Besides, military officers arrange civil positions, which is very common.

Now that the children of the ministers are given priority to enter the academy, isn't that monopolizing future official careers?
This also proves that their heirs can well guarantee the stability of their family.

Everyone has selfishness, not all adults are like Meng Yi and others, who put Ying Zheng's career completely in their hearts, they also have to think about the interests of their own family.
