Almighty System Great Master Qin

Chapter 70 Daqin Royal Academy
When the emperor's list was posted, all the disciples in Xianyang rushed to tell the news, and in the afternoon, Xianyang also sent dozens of cavalry to spread the edict that Qin Shihuang would not burn books to the world, so as to reassure the people.The newspaper also reopened under Xiao Hong's order, but this time Xiao Hong seriously warned Chen Ping that such a thing should not happen again.

Five days later, Xiao Hong walked up to the court hall with a thick plan book in his arms.

"Look at Mr. Wu An coming to magnify his moves." A Confucian scholar shook his beard while looking at the proposal in Xiao Hong's arms.

"You said that every time Lord Wu An handed over the plan to His Majesty, this is the case. Will I also study it when I go to the court?"

"Study? Do you think you have the ability? Don't you look at the plan that Wu Anjun handed over to His Majesty every time, covering everything from the beginning to the end, and you can do such a thing as Wu Anjun No matter how big or small it is?" Another Confucian scholar attacked.

Not only these commentators who comment on state affairs are jealous of Xiao Hong's ability, but even Li Si and others feel very uncomfortable. Every time such an occasion, Qin Shihuang would always praise Xiao Hong as worthy of being my humerus minister, which made Li Si and others feel as if Qin Shihuang has been mocking them.

"His Majesty is here"

Everyone stood up and bowed to greet the big boss of Qin Dynasty.

Qin Shihuang walked through the court hall in dragon and tiger steps, and finally sat on his dragon chair, and waved his hand: "Everyone, please forgive me!"

"Thank you Your Majesty"

"Your Majesty" Xiao Hong took the lead and presented the plan, saying: "Your Majesty, after five days of collation, I have produced a set of plans for the academy, but because of the short time, there may still be imperfections. In the future, Weichen will gradually modify it.”

Those who watched at the side hurriedly took the proposal from Xiao Hong and presented it to Qin Shihuang for his review.

"Plan for the Great Qin Education System" Qin Shihuang read the awkward title and opened the plan.

The first page is the table of contents. From this table of contents, Qin Shihuang found that this set of proposals covers everything from the location of the college to the graduation of the students, and it also formulates detailed regulations on many details, even the hours of each class and the rest period. The time is clearly written.

"Hahaha" Qin Shihuang only read a few pages, and said: "Wu Anjun is worthy of being my humerus minister."

When Qin Shihuang said this this time, he still glanced at other people, as if he was looking at Lord Wu An, looking at you, as stupid as a pig.

"Your Majesty praises me, I just did what I should do." Xiao Hong bowed modestly.

"Mr. Wu An, I see that there is another name in your plan, what are the primary and secondary schools?" Qin Shihuang looked at the catalog and asked.

"Your Majesty, this is the future teaching mode. When the time is right, Daqin can set up primary schools in various counties to teach children under the age of six. After these children pass the exam, they can enter the middle schools set up in the county to study, and the semester is three years old. Years. Take the exam three years later, and those who pass the exam can enter the Daqin Royal Academy to study.”

"Wu Anjun, what about the fees for these primary and secondary schools? Do they have to be free for ordinary people?" Qin Shihuang asked worriedly. Judging from the current national strength of the Qin Dynasty, it is impossible to afford the fees for primary and secondary schools in 42 counties. of.Even China implemented a nine-year compulsory education system after eight years of reform and opening up, which greatly improved its national strength.

"Your Majesty, the tuition fees for primary and secondary schools are borne by the people who go to school. That's why I said that this is a future idea. After a few years, the national power of Daqin has been significantly improved, and the people have gradually become rich. will provide primary and secondary education”

"So I still have a book to publish today." Xiao Hong took out another plan from his private space that he had been preparing for a long time.

The audience on the side hurriedly took the plan and presented it to Qin Shihuang.

"Your Majesty, Daqin has unified the six kingdoms for four years, and the world has been stable for four years. However, the national power of Daqin has not been significantly improved. In the final analysis, the restrictions are still too strict. Now the people who grow potatoes in the fiefdom of humble officials, they This year, each family can harvest ten thousand catties of potatoes, and in addition to the tax paid to the court, there are thousands of catties left over. And these potatoes can’t be eaten up, but because of the restrictions of commercial laws, they can’t buy and sell these potatoes at will. There are also merchants who followed Weichen to the Hetao area, and they still have a lot of cattle, sheep and furs in their hands, but the merchants engaged in copper and iron smelting cannot sell these items at will, causing many people to be on the verge of bankruptcy."

Xiao Hong paused, and said: "So I suggest that the business law can be loosened, so that merchants from all over the place can operate some other things on a small scale while engaged in their own industries, and the common people can sell some surplus grain in their hands. ?”

The Qin Law was promulgated after Li Si revised and perfected the law formulated by Shang Jun, and its severity is unimaginable.It is said that the Cang Law stipulates that a man who is six feet five inches and a woman who is six feet two inches is an adult.That six feet is not six feet today, six feet is two meters now, but six feet at that time is about 1.38 meters today, that is to say, men who are over 1.5 meters and women who are over 1.43 meters will be held criminally responsible. What is this concept? Look at today's elementary school students, there are many who have not graduated from elementary school and are 1 meters tall.

And even sitting is the peak of the strict Qin law, that is, one person commits a crime (such as treason), and the seven aunts and eight aunts will also be implicated, even if they are newborn babies. Junior version.

Therefore, the people in Daqin nowadays are very careful in their speech, and under the hierarchy of scholars, farmers, businessmen, merchants are always on the tip of the knife to live, and they are in danger of being beheaded if they are not careful, so Xiao Hong wants to improve the law of Qin , but you cannot directly challenge the laws of Qin, which is the basis of the founding of the Qin Dynasty, so Xiao Hong planned to revise the laws of business first, so that the merchants of the Qin Dynasty could become active, drive industries around the country, and increase taxes. After gaining benefits, it is possible to agree to Xiao Hong's subsequent actions.

"Your Majesty can't do it." Li Si immediately stood up and bowed to object. The current Qin Law implemented by the Great Qin was revised by Li Si. Of course, he would be the first to protest. As soon as Li Si made a move, all the officials of the Legalist faction of his faction also stood up. Come on, support Li Si.

However, Feng Quji, Meng Yi and others did not support Xiao Hong or Li Si this time. They all knew that the Qin Law was the foundation of the stability of the Qin Dynasty. Although the legislation was indeed too strict, it was harmless to them.

Xiao Hong, who had expected it for a long time, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the minister's proposal to loosen business laws is not just talking about it, but after careful consideration. Although Daqin has obtained the land of Hetao and potatoes, the tax has not increased because of it. The annual expenditure keeps increasing, so the minister suggested loosening business laws, increasing taxes, and strengthening the national strength of Daqin.”

"Your Majesty, what Lord Wu'an said is a lie. Qin Law is the foundation of our Great Qin. Since the reform of Lord Shang, our Great Qin has relied on strict laws to strengthen itself, thus defeating the six kingdoms and unifying the world. But because Mr. Wu An modified the laws of Qin with just a few words, the Great Qin is not stable, Your Majesty," Li Si knelt down and said loudly.

Qin Shihuang looked at Xiao Hong and Li Si, who were constantly quarreling, and then looked at the business law loosening plan in his hand, pondered for a moment, and said: "The loosening of business law is too important to make a decision lightly. After I have thought it over carefully, we will discuss it tomorrow." After saying this, Qin Shihuang got up and left.
