Siheyuan: I decide the fate of the world with my medical skills

Fusu didn't care about this situation. According to Qin law, if the craftsmen failed to learn the skills within the prescribed time, the craftsmen's teachers would be punished. In this era, violence was often seen as an effective tool to resolve disputes. Don't worry about being too harsh. Qin law also stipulates that if a teacher cripples a student during training, he will also be punished with the same punishment. Fusu turned to Gong Shugui and said, "The workshop must train 100 papermaking craftsmen with their own system within three months, and use this as a guideline, whether it is the cast iron workshop in Lantian or other fields."

After completing the craft assessment and being determined to be qualified, each of them will be rewarded with a thousand coins and a first-level civilian title. After Fusu finished speaking, only the clan representatives, Gongzi Yan and Gongzi Gun, frowned slightly. The expressions of all the other ministers did not fluctuate at all. It was just a trivial matter of civilian title. It was also a common operation to obtain it through previous achievements. They knew clearly that whether it was to be promoted to a rank by planting crops on farmland or to be rewarded and given a title for heroic performance on the battlefield, the craftsmen's skills were also a way to be promoted to a rank. Such a move was in line with the "Single Source of Income" in the "Shang Yang Principle".

A few seconds later, looking at the slightly yellowed bamboo papers that had been uncovered and piled up like a mountain, Fusu asked everyone: "Which book should be copied onto paper first among so many books in the collection? Do you think we should start with the Zhouyi?"

Zheng Guo raised his sleeves leisurely, "I think the first thing we should do is copy the Book of Changes!"

Yes, I do remember that Zheng learned from Bi Zao. Fusu stroked his beard gently, thinking about the words of the female magician Xu Fu, who was said to have predicted Zhou Yafu's future path to becoming a marquis and his nine years of misfortune after serving as prime minister - death by starvation. It was a good opportunity to find this wild girl who seemed to have traveled through time to come to the palace to check the secret code.

Then, Gongzi Gun raised his hand and said, "In my opinion, the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine and the Difficult Classic should be published first!"

Ah, this is the content of medical technology. No, maybe it's because his wife is the little girl of the modern Bian Que family? He thought that printing medical books seemed to be more important than printing the "Book of Changes". In addition, is there a school of medical experts who specializes in studying sexual techniques... Pah! Five Animal Exercises is his hobby, that Hua Tuo (Hua Tuo?)!

Seeing all this, Meng Yi raised his hand politely: "I think we should focus on copying the works of Deng Xi and Huizi."

Huh? He is so strong and has unique insights into debate. Doesn't he argue with people every day about whether a white horse is not a horse... He is obsessed with moral governance... Fusu looked at Meng Yi for a few seconds and smiled, "Although I was born in a family of soldiers, I was born in a place where the country is governed by etiquette."

Then came Gongzi Yan, who seemed to be imitating the "School of Law" but secretly intended to print "Mozi", and other ministers who held their own factions. They all emphasized the need to make copies, but did not specifically mention whether they should be popularized throughout the kingdom. After all, after the burning of the books of the Hundred Schools of Thought, the circulation of ancient books except those in the official state collection was banned.

Of course, there are some special books that are not banned.

For example, Tian Ji has always been a staunch supporter of the "Daily Book" which is similar to the almanac, and will not allow it to be used until the right time is chosen...

Fusu coughed lightly, interrupting the topic that everyone was talking about, "In my opinion, the laws of Qin should be printed and implemented." He then explained his idea to everyone - if there is a "Law of Qin", the crime can be reduced once, and he also elaborated on some relevant knowledge about woodblock printing.

As expected, the first person to raise objections was Feng Jie, the Minister of Justice. "Your Majesty, I think this is not feasible." Feng Jie bowed and said, "Qin's laws are related to the fundamental laws of the country. How can we easily hand them over to the common people? I ask Your Majesty to think carefully about this issue!"

Before Fusu could speak, Meng Yi came forward. After bowing to Fusu, he turned to Feng Jie and said, "Master Feng, you must be wrong!"

"When Qin Shi Huang built his palace, he built Jique outside. 'Ji' means to remember and instruct the rules, and these gates were used to record these rules!"

"So what is the purpose of this move? To let the people of the country know the law and understand its importance! Only when you understand the law can you abide by it!"

Yao Jia shook his head and said: "Spreading the law sounds simple but is difficult to implement..."

Meng Yi turned to Yao Jia and corrected him: "Your Excellency is wrong. If it's difficult, won't you do it?"

"Shang Yang said: 'Therefore, only wise people can understand that it is impossible to apply it to all people as a law, because not all people are wise enough. Similarly, only people with wise minds can understand these principles, and they cannot be made into laws; this is because not everyone can understand wisdom.'

'Therefore, in order to enable the people to better understand the law, the ruler must make it easy to understand and comprehend when making the law, and ensure that its name is reasonable and understandable to ordinary people. '"

"Moreover, according to our Qin law, village heads are officials who are responsible for handling minor matters. They should hold two bamboo or wooden books more than one foot wide to spread the legal provisions and let the people know the existence of the law. However, due to the great differences in the conditions of each village, some villagers understand the content of the law but do not fully understand it."

"So the desire to fully understand the laws of Qin is as urgent as longing for rain during a drought!"

"Your Majesty's decision complies with the will of the people and fulfills the will of heaven. Even the ancient saints could not do this!"

Meng Yi did not forget to add a compliment to his words, but Feng Jie still insisted: "Human nature is evil. If the Qin Code is promulgated throughout the country, cunning villains will definitely take advantage of its loopholes to undermine the code. What should we do then?"

Fusu nodded silently in his heart. Although Feng Jie's point of view made some sense, the behavior of being nitpicking and finding faults in the law was not uncommon in his time.

But that's not right... Although the country is ruled by law, the people who make and implement the laws are still those who have power. Their humanity and morality determine the quality of law enforcement. The so-called "litigators" are mostly guys who collude with judicial officials. Their existence is the catalyst for the misinterpretation and even corruption of the law.

Then he heard Meng Yi's hearty laugh, and then he said:

"Shang Yang once said: Officials know that the people understand the law, so officials dare not abuse the law to anger the people, and the people dare not violate the law to ask for leniency from the judge. If officials treat the people with improper means, the people can report the situation to the judge; once the judge informs the people of the illegal punishment, it will serve as a standard warning for the officials' behavior and let the officials know. In this case, officials will naturally not treat the people in an illegal way, and the people will avoid breaking the law, protecting their own rights and interests and the fairness of the whole society."

"If everyone knows the law, officials will no longer be able to treat people illegally. This is the way to protect the welfare of the people and maintain justice."

"As for those cunning people, they will be severely punished according to Qin's laws!"

He is indeed a master debater of the famous level... When he saw Feng Jie did not speak, Fusu recalled the annotation about Shang Yang's remarks in the book: Just like raising horses, let the horse breeders supervise each other, although they may protect each other due to personal interests, which may not necessarily lead to the best raising; what if the horses themselves can speak to supervise the horse breeders? After a period of silence, Feng Quji turned to Fusu and asked: "I wonder if your majesty's tour involves any laws and regulations?"

Since the laws of the Qin Dynasty were complicated, including the "Laws on Land", "Laws on Stables and Gardens", "Laws on Warehouses", "Laws on Gold and Cloth", and "Laws on Customs and Markets", printing them together would probably be beyond the affordability of many ordinary people.

Fusu smiled and said, "We will only publish the personnel laws related to the people. I found some prison officials who are good at studying Qin law and have made detailed explanations of the clauses commonly triggered by the people, and incorporated them into a referenceable format. The required stereotypes will be completed in the next few days."

After hearing this, Feng Quji gently closed his eyes and remained silent for a moment - Fusu had already planned this. This result was beyond his expectation.

When he observed Meng Yi's confident and eloquent speech, he felt that this was not the teaching of a famous school, but was planned in advance with Fu Tong. Just waiting for questions!

When he wanted to ask Fusu which laws he planned to print, he thought Fusu might be far-sighted and directly distribute all the Qin laws to the whole country at once.

If such action can be taken, there is still the possibility of change - in the formulation of Qin law, there is a rule that allows the children of public officials to be eligible to enter the school, and after passing the examination, they can directly become personnel. In addition to military training such as archery and driving, the most important thing taught in the academy is to teach teaching centered on the law, and use the law as the basis of education to cultivate an education group headed by officials.

If Fusu chooses to issue all the Qin laws, the students in these schools will become the biggest challenge, because they will have the advantage of systematically learning knowledge and laws.

But he didn't expect... Looking at Feng Quji who was silent for a long time, Fusu thought to himself: What kind of experience has Your Majesty experienced in the past few years of life in Shangjun?

On the way to Lantian, Fusu recalled a scene. In this era, the power of the prime minister is almost equal to the power of the emperor. If the new policy is to be implemented, the two pillars of the left prime minister and the right prime minister must be resolved.

Although the left prime minister Wei Liao had basically retired after Fusu planned the future for his descendants, he did not interfere excessively in Fusu's decision-making except for daily government affairs. In contrast, the real right prime minister, Feng Quji, was like a mountain, weighing heavily on Fusu's head.

Fusu's view on this matter seems to be attributed to the First Emperor. Since Qin unified the six kingdoms, it still maintained the political framework of the Zhou Dynasty, establishing the three officials, namely the prime minister, the general, and the imperial censor, as the top leadership team to govern the country and the people.

The Three Dukes were not subordinate to each other and were only directly responsible to the Boss. This unique institutional problem was the main factor leading to the fact that the Grand Marshal was in power in name but had little presence in reality.
