Yunyang Xiaoyingzheng [Da Qin]

Ah Zheng nodded: "Naturally, I remember that in the original state of Qin, there were such schools in every county and county, and the bachelors in the academy were specially sent to teach them how to read. Why did Ah Ju suddenly bring up this matter?"

"Since those children can read, they must be talents that can be created compared with others. How are you going to use them, Ah Zheng?"

"Although they are literate, they cannot become scholars of various schools who are proficient in classics. They either follow their parents and continue to serve in the army, or they are small officials in various counties and counties, that's all."

Lin Ju suddenly asked curiously: "Ah Zheng, how are the officials of the counties and counties in Qin State selected? Don't they need to pass certain exams?"

Ah Zheng shook his head: "Of course the officials of the counties and counties are elected by each family. They may be from rich and powerful families, or they may be children of the clan. They are all from everyone's background."

"That is to say, officials in various places are elected by nobles and officials. If ordinary people in Qin want to change their class, the only way to go is to join the army. In some small rebellions, there are fewer and fewer battles to fight, so what should we do with so many soldiers? Let them disarm and return to the fields?"

Ah Zheng said with a smile: "There is no need to worry about this. The battle is endless. I still want someone to take Baiyue? The world is so big, how can the soldiers have no place to fight?"

Lin Ju didn't know what to say for a while, she tried to free herself from Ah Zheng's language logic: "But, it is impossible to fight forever, the soldiers always need to rest one day, and Qin has already supported After such a long war, can it continue to sustain? The people always hope to live a stable life after the war."

Seeing that Ah Zheng was silent, she couldn't help but slow down her voice: "Ah Zheng, I don't know much about war, and I don't know much about politics. But as a commoner, what I long for is a peaceful and prosperous life. I believe Whether it is the people of Qin, or the remaining people of the other six countries who have not completely surrendered for the time being, what they hope for should be a plain and ordinary life, without war, to have their own houses and fields, and to be able to eat Clothes are warm, husband and wife are loving, and have children. In this case, even if they have weapons in their hands, those weapons will only be used to drive away the animals in the mountains and forests, not against the things that bring them a happy life. Officials, Ah Zheng, what do you think?"

Ah Zheng glanced at the people next to him, and his expression couldn't help but relax a bit: "Ah Ju, was the place you were in before a country where people can eat, clothe, keep warm, and live in peace and happiness?"

"Basically, it's okay. There should be no problem with enough food and clothing, but because there are too many people in our place, the house may be a bit difficult for many people." Lin Ju smiled, "But generally speaking, the lives of ordinary people It's still getting better."

Azheng took Lin Ju's hand, played with it, and frowned slightly: "Before, I was hesitating about one thing. The rice seeds that Aju gave me are indeed divine seeds, and the yield has directly increased by ten times compared to the original one." Several times. However, the god seed is currently only grown in Guanzhong and Shu counties, and has not been promoted to other places. Although rice needs water, many places in the country cannot grow it, but in terms of climate and water sources, Jiujiang county and Changsha county are the best. The best place to grow rice."

Lin Ju continued Ah Zheng's hidden worries: "But these places used to be the land of Chu State. Ah Zheng, you are worried that if such important seeds are spread in these areas, once the survivors of Chu State have enough to eat, they will die. Make trouble."

"In this world, apart from the common people, there are also clans. Clans have deep roots everywhere, and it is difficult to uproot them. Once they get such high-yield seeds, the consequences will be unimaginable." Ah Zheng saw that Lin Ju still didn't understand. He gave her an example, "Does Aju know about Tian's replacement of Qi?"

Lin Ju shook her head: "I only know that Qi State is the last vassal state that Qin State destroyed."

Azheng nodded: "Qi's surname should have been Jiang, after Lu Shang, but later, the Tian family in the Qi country gradually grew and regained the hearts of the Qi people. Instead, the Tian clan became the monarch of Qi."

"But Ah Zheng, you yourself said just now that the reason why the Tian family can replace the Lu family is because they have won the hearts of the people of Qi. If you, Ah Zheng, have won the hearts of the people of the six countries, no matter how much the remaining nobles of the six countries make trouble, What's the use of having no one in their hands?"

Holding Lin Ju's hand, Ah Zheng fell into silence, which was different from what he had learned in the past.

Lin Ju quietly pinched Ah Zheng's earlobe: "Zai Zai, be confident, you are the best. Don't be afraid, trust your own control."

"Aju, let me think about it."

"it is good."

The next day, Ah Zheng summoned Xun Kuang and cut straight to the point: "I want to ask Xun Jijiu how to govern the country."

Xun Kuang was a little surprised. Over the years, he has been in charge of cultivating talents as a priest in the academy. He even sent him to teach the young prince and wife of Qin State a few days ago, but the king of Qin has always let him go. , I don’t know why I actually asked him today.

Xun Kuang cupped his hands and said: "Longli respects the virtuous and the king, respects the law and loves the people and dominates. Your Majesty should implement both the law and the law, and this is the way to govern the country."

Ah Zheng glanced at Xun Kuang, not sure whether Ah Ju's idea coincided with Xun Kuang's, or was influenced by Xun Kuang during the previous class.

He ordered: "Come here, give me a seat."

Xun Kuang originally thought that the palace servants should bring up a cushion, but he didn't expect it to be a strange looking thing. He wasn't sure if His Majesty in front of him was deliberately trying to make him look ugly, so he sat down cautiously.

Ah Zheng saw it clearly in the seat, and he couldn't help feeling a little funny in his heart. He continued to ask Xun Kuang: "Now that the world is initially settled, what does Xun Jijiu think should be?"

Xun Kuang said: "Qin ruled the country by law, and most of the people knew the law but did not know etiquette. It is Qin's shortcoming that there is no Confucianism. Your Majesty should order people to spread the etiquette and law in all counties and counties, so that the people know the etiquette and abide by the law. In addition, you should get rid of the witches. Evil, expel professional Confucianism, reshape customs, lighten corvee and lighten taxation, so that the world is peaceful and healthy."

"What is the explanation for 'expel Confucianism'? Isn't Xun Jijiu also a Confucian?"

Xun Kuang shook his head: "Although we are all Confucianists, this Confucianism is not that Confucianism. Some Confucianists take Confucianism as their career, are vulgar and vulgar, stick to small details and etiquette, don't know how to adapt it, and don't use it properly."

Azheng nodded and said, "You are telling the truth. Some people are indeed the moths of the country. They are extremely pedantic. How do you explain 'elimination of witches'?"

Xun Kuang: "Previously, the monarchs of various countries did not know how to govern the country, but believed in the ways of evil spirits and evil spirits. They believed in witches who pretended to be gods and ghosts. What is the use of gods offering sacrifices to the sky? The king should build new rivers and canals to reduce the drought; if there are locusts, he must order the common people to catch the locusts so as not to cause losses. How can we pray to the heavens and sacrifice to the gods? How ridiculous?"

Ah Zheng recalled that when he first came to the throne, there was a severe drought in the middle school, and he prayed for rain for the people. He remembered that after he succeeded in praying for rain, Ah Ju told him that there are no gods in this world, and the reason why it rains is that It's because the sound affects the clouds.

In connection with Xun Kuang's words in front of him, he even felt that there were similarities between the two people's views.

It's just that the theory of ghosts and gods is a big deal. Although Ah Zheng didn't believe in ghosts and gods under the influence of Lin Ju, he still pretended to be on the surface. How could someone be as violent as Xun Kuang? He couldn't help asking: "Xun Jijiu doesn't believe Ghosts and gods, can you trust the destiny?"

Xun Kuang stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Heaven's actions are permanent. They don't exist for Yao's sake, and they don't perish for Jie's sake. The so-called destiny is just following the trend."

"What about the sacrifice? Isn't this a sacrifice to ghosts?"

Xun Kuang shook his head: "The sacrificial person, the admiration of admiration, is doing the best of humanity, not ghosts."

Ah Zheng: "I have one more thing. I want to ask Xun Jijiu for advice. Although the Six Kingdoms have been established, there are still people who have evil intentions and commit chaos in various places. How should these people be dealt with?"

Xun Kuang pondered for a moment and replied: "Your Majesty's worries are nothing more than worrying about the rebellion of the ministers of the six countries. First, your majesty should lighten the corvee and pay less money to win the hearts of the six peoples; two, among the ministers of the six countries, there are also high-ranking ministers. People with low status, scholars, ministers, princes, and marquises have different interests, so why don't your majesty separate them and transform them to maintain peace?"

"It's reasonable to sacrifice wine. I will consider it carefully before making a decision. Please come back today."

Azheng sent Xun Kuang away at the court, thinking of his disciples, Li Si, Han Fei, and Zhang Cang, all of them had different personalities, but none of them was like him as a teacher, it was really interesting.As for what Xun Kuang said today, although there is some truth in it, if he wants to implement it in Qin, there may be some contradictions.

He first wrote down what he was thinking about today, and then put down his pen to find Ah Ju.

In the end, he didn't find Aju, but found an orange cat having fun with little Fusu in Fusu's room.

Seeing Ah Zheng coming in, little Fusu held up Mao Mao and showed him excitedly: "Father, look at Mao Mao is really back, I'm so happy."

Ah Zheng walked up to Fusu, took the little orange cat in his hand, and put on a strict father's face: "Fusu, you only care about playing with the cat, what did you learn today?"

Xiao Fusu lowered his head: "The teacher didn't come to class today, so A Niang and I will review what we have learned before."

Ah Zheng knew in his heart that Xun Kuang had been called away by him, so where could he find a teacher to teach Fusu.He said sternly, "Then do you know your mistake?"

"Yes, the boy is wrong, the boy should not be playful."

Ah Zheng nodded, patted Fusu on the shoulder, and motioned him to sit down: "Since you know you made a mistake, then sit down and practice calligraphy." After speaking, he hugged the cat and left.

After returning to the bedroom, Ah Zheng put the cat on the newly made bed, turned away everyone in the palace, and said helplessly, "Ah Ju, you can change back."

The little orange cat climbed into the quilt, and in the blink of an eye, a person appeared on the bed. Lin Ju muttered, "Ah Zheng, don't be so strict with little Fusu, he is still young, it is a child's nature to be playful. ah."

Ah Zheng sat on the edge of the bed, with a straight face: "Let him play with you? A child doesn't know how serious it is, so what if he hurts you? Besides, he is almost nine years old, and he is no longer a child. How can he be good at homework?" Lax?"

"But Xiao Fusu is very serious in class and homework. He has been studying for more than ten days in a row. Let him take a break." Lin Ju pleaded for Xiao Fusu, "Is it true Officials, are they working all the time and have no time for rest and vacation?"

Ah Zheng recalled Qin Lv, then shook his head: "No."

The author has something to say:

Lin Ju:? ? ? ?It's not easy being your subordinate.

Xun Kuang should have passed away at this time in history.Part of what Xun Qing said comes from "Xunzi".
