Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 134
Qin Wangzheng pondered for a moment, Qin started reforms from Shang Yang to reward farming wars and appease the hearts of the people.

There are three main points in the promotion of Shang Jun’s law. The first is to drive away knight-errants, lobbyists, and Confucian scholars. .

Second, Shang Yang believes that "human beings are inherently evil", and the use of harsh punishments and cruel laws is to let the people know the severity and timeliness of the law, fear the law, dare not do evil things, and keep their own farming.

Third, the more important thing about severe punishment is to treat the royal family and nobles, change their behavior of misconduct, corruption and bribery, and let the nobles know the law, understand the law, and recognize the law.

The official in the recording also elaborated on this point of view, but also defended himself: "In a time of great strife where rituals and music have collapsed, severe punishment is certainly feasible."

"However, the Song Dynasty has just been established. If we only use Legalist methods, we may not be able to cover everything and achieve great governance in the world!"

This sentence was like a dull thunder, lingering in Qin Wangzheng's mind, causing Qin Wangzheng to sigh: "The world is in great order. The words are so clever. It seems that this person must be an outstanding virtuous minister!"

Qin Wangzheng thought about it carefully and realized that it would be impossible to achieve great governance in the world by using Legalism alone.

According to my idea, not only can the law of Great Qin not be abolished, but it must also be popularized in the six countries!
Qualified officials were selected in Xianyang City, and they went to the six distant Shandong countries to serve as county guards and county magistrates, and spread the Qin law to the six countries, so that the people of the six countries could know the Qin law, concentrate on farming, and no longer have any illusions about the restoration of the country.

But the Qin laws were harsh, with city Dan, rice pounding, exile, and tattoos, which was simply a nightmare for the people of the Six Kingdoms.

Now that the six kingdoms have just been conquered by force of Qin Wangzheng, the people are eager to live a good life and live a prosperous life.

However, Qin Shihuang used harsh torture methods. Qin's laws could only temporarily shock the people, but the people only dared to be angry and dare not speak out.

Therefore, in the chaotic times of the late Qin Dynasty, as soon as the First Emperor died, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rose up, and the six countries gathered to respond. The Qin Dynasty only survived for 14 years before being destroyed.

And the following recording coincides with Qin Wangzheng's thoughts: "Now that the south has been settled, the people are eager for a prosperous and happy life."

"Using the old law to treat the people is only a short-term deterrent!"

"If corvee is taken lightly and taxes are paid lightly, and the net is opened on three sides, and the people of the world are recuperating and recuperating, who would dare to have any evil thoughts?"

Qin Wangzheng closed his eyes tightly, and the plan in his mind was shaken.

It seems that Shangjun's law does have shortcomings, Qin Wangzheng immediately called Li Si into the palace.

After Li Si entered the palace, he gave a deep respect, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty!"

Qin Wangzheng first tentatively said: "Since I was a child, I have worshiped the way of governing the country of Lord Shang! Now that there is a unified government today, a thousand wastes are waiting for prosperity. I don't know if Lord Shang's harsh laws can be popularized in the whole country?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Si said loudly: "Your Majesty, the laws of Shang Jun are not the laws of cruel officials and bitter people, but the laws of enriching the country and strengthening the people. Qin's laws can naturally be popularized throughout the country!"

Qin Wangzheng's eyes were fixed, and a trace of evil spirit flashed in his eyes: "Since you don't know the cruel method, why do the people in the world humiliate me as a tyrant?"

Upon hearing this, Li Si was so anxious that he broke into sweat. He was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and said, "I don't know that the people humiliate your majesty. I only know that your majesty uses severe torture to frighten the people!"

A smile appeared on Qin Wangzheng's froze face, and he said with a gentle attitude, "Li Si please hurry up, the common people insulted me, what's the matter with Mr. Guan?"

Li Si didn't dare to get up, lowered his head and tremblingly said: "It's the minister's ineffectiveness, which gave the people the opportunity to slander His Majesty, and the minister will find out the real culprit and return His Majesty's innocence!"

Qin Wangzheng looked at the low-pitched Li Si, his eyes tightly locked on Li Si's throat, got up from before the big bronze case, helped Li Si and said, "Sir, there is no need to do this, I am not asking you to blame, but asking if Qin Lv has any deficiencies." place!"

Li Si was proficient in the law and was familiar with "The Law of Qin", but he dared not point it out in person, and repeatedly postponed it, but Qin Wangzheng still refused to let him go.

Forced to have no choice, Li Si could only express his opinion: "The Qin method has three shortcomings. The first point is that the Shiwulian sitting method is originally intended to supervise each other. We are worried that the fine work will disappear into the market and become unified. Naturally, there is no need for this method. !"

"Second point, the Qin law is too harsh, and corporal punishments such as water torture and beheading can be changed to light punishments such as court rods and whipping."

"The third point is that Qin Fa is too meticulous and meticulous, and every place has to spend a lot of effort. There may be something wrong, but it can be eradicated properly!"

Seeing that Li Si had a certain opinion, Qin Wangzheng issued an edict: "Ting Wei Li Si, I order you to revise the Qin law immediately, take its essence and discard its dross."

"It is important to avoid that the six countries in Shandong cannot tolerate the harshness of Qin's laws. They must reduce their sentences and suspend their sentences, putting the people first."

"The world has been set for the first time, and a thousand wastes are waiting for prosperity. I want to lighten the burden and pay less, and recuperate!"

As soon as Qin Wangzheng said this, Li Si's mind seemed to be half struck by lightning, his pupils were dilated, and his eyes were dull.

Doesn't it mean that the Legalists will not be reused in order to recuperate and recuperate?

Li Si was about to speak against Qin Wangzheng, but Qin Wangzheng had already seen through his careful thinking and explained: "Only by governing the country according to the law can the country enjoy long-term stability."

"Although we are recuperating and practicing the ways of Huang and Lao, we must ultimately implement them on the basis of perfect laws and not just let the people do whatever they want!"

After two sentences, Li Si finally breathed a sigh of relief and exhaled: "Your Majesty has made a clear decision!"

After that, he took the edict from Qin Wangzheng and went to Tingwei Mansion to discuss with the officials about revising the "Qin Code".

After watching Li Si leave, Qin Wangzheng slowly loosened his furrowed brows, his voice was stern, and he said, "This time, the news delivered by the little childish slave is very important, and it will enlighten the lonely king, like drinking nectar!"

Qin Wangzheng's brows were beaming with joy, and his whole body felt extremely refreshed, just like a hero in a martial arts novel who suddenly obtained a treasure book and was beaten through his meridians.

In a time of great contention, Daoism should be reused, and in a time of peace and prosperity, Confucian scholars should be reused!

And in the transitional stage, it is natural to use Huang Lao's technique to recuperate!

But even so, Lord Shang's position in Qin Wangzheng's heart is still supreme, and no one can shake it!

After all, law and Taoism are the foundation of governing the country. Qin Wangzheng glanced at the bamboo slips on the big bronze case, and the contents inside made Qin Wangzheng's breathing become a little short.

"Your Majesty, the land of Chu is in turmoil. I have wanted to confront Qin several times. I hope your Majesty will send troops for reinforcements!"

Sure enough, the Chu land that worried Qin Wangzheng was ready to move. It must be a large anti-Qin force. When Chu land moved, Liu Guoyun responded, and the land of Huaxia was about to fall into turmoil again.

Qin Wangzheng can only hope that the "New Qin Law" can appease the people and prevent troubles!

But the people are not all rebellious officials and thieves. As long as the problem of food and clothing is solved, there will be no riots.

And what can help the people is of course a magical weapon that benefits the country and the people.

Finally, Xiaozhinu lived up to Qin Wangzheng's entrustment and brought the tools that benefit the country and the people from another world.
