My brother is the most handsome man in the Qin Dynasty

This time, Emperor Shihuang neither argued with Ying Chengxu as usual, nor denied Ying Chengxu.

Thoughtful, he tried his best to restrain the sharpness in his eyes, and looked at the people around him with eyes of observation rather than scrutiny, whose eyes were mostly envious.

Right now it is the busy season of farming, there is no government organization, and the head of Guizhou does not go to farm, but gathers at the gate of Yangcheng to join in the fun.Except for the few days when sacrifices are distributed on New Year's Day, this phenomenon is impossible in Guanzhong.

The first emperor was thoughtful, thinking of Cui Guang, the county magistrate of Yangcheng County, who was a doctor of Taoism in front of the city gate, and said softly:
"Do nothing."

After 5000 people entered the city, they went about their own business.

The person in charge of the horse food took the warrant to go to the Yangcheng granary to fetch grain, and went to the Yangcheng county lieutenant to fetch horse grass.

The guarding Qin army was stationed in the open space that Cui Guang had found in advance, and went out in four groups to let the wind out in turn.

The accompanying ministers, concubines and others are free to move without restraint.

"You go away."

Zhang Han stood in front of the four-horse king's chariot and asked Cui Guang and other Yangcheng officials to leave.

"promise."

Cui Guang responded, turned his head and walked away with his head held high and his chest held high, without hesitation, ignoring that Lang Zhong Ling Zhang Han's face turned cold.

Zhang Han was a little angry, angry at the attitude of these Yangcheng officials-too casual, so casual that he didn't have enough respect for the first emperor.

Even though the five four-horse king chariots behind him were all filled with stones, there was no Shi Huangdi.

After Emperor Shihuang changed into casual clothes and ordered everyone not to follow, he and his younger brother Ying Chengxun walked together.

No one objected, not even Xia Wuqie and Zhang Han who were supposed to personally protect the safety of the first emperor.

Mr. Chang'an with a gun is the best fighter in the world.

Holding the warrant of Cui Guang, the county magistrate, the two can enter and exit any area of ​​Yangcheng at will.

But soon, Emperor Shi Huang realized that the warrant was a little redundant—there were few places in Yangcheng that were closed to people, and most of them were open areas.

The first emperor once again experienced the Taoist concept of governing the country by doing nothing and governing the way of governance - the people of Yangcheng can go wherever they want, and the main thing is to follow one's heart.

The first emperor disagreed very much. In the eyes of him who respected the law, this kind of governance was simply deviant.

Everything in Guanzhong depends on the law, and a "Qin Law" involves everything and is all-encompassing.This is completely two extremes with Taoism's quiet and inaction, letting go.

It stands to reason that Legalism should be the enemy of Taoism, not Confucianism.At least Confucianism and Legalism have something in common. Both are ways of governing the country by setting standards and restricting the people.

The reason why Taoism and Law are in harmony with each other is because the Legalists have no regard for Taoism at all.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, wars and wars were everywhere, and countries dedicated themselves to wars and conquests, fighting inextricably.In such a world of great strife, any country that accepts Taoism's proposition of inaction and cessation of war is tantamount to its own destruction.

Since Laozi founded Taoism, Taoism has never been accepted by any country.The Taoist theory that was rampant in the world in the early Han Dynasty actually had an extremely low status in the Qin Dynasty.

Not to mention comparing it with the luxuriant Legalism, Confucianism, Mohism, Ming, Zongheng and other theories are all above Taoism.That is, part of the ideas are taken from Lao Tzu, and the theory of yin and yang, which has been lost in later generations, can stabilize Taoism.

In the first emperor's court, except for the Legalists, who dominated the court.

Miscellaneous families have Xiangbang Lu Buwei, famous families have Shangqing Yao Jia, strategists have Shangqing Dunwei...

There are specializations in the art industry. Except for the Taoists, every one of the hundreds of schools has capable people as important court officials.

And such a Taoist, who was completely ignored by the first emperor, became a parent official in Yangcheng and was in charge of a place.

"Cui Guang has gone too far."

The First Emperor said suddenly.

He and Ying Chengxi had been walking through the streets of Yangcheng for a while.

He heard the heads of Guizhou around them talking a lot. After learning that the group of people who came was the emperor, the emotions expressed by the people of Yangcheng were not fear, panic, or honor, but a search that the first emperor had never imagined.

"I don't know where the emperor of Qin lives, let's go and see."

"Look at what he's doing, the land hasn't been planted yet, I want to go to you."

"Look at what the emperor eats, drinks, and does."

"I guess the emperor doesn't eat millet, but eats steamed buns every now and then. He usually has to cultivate the land, otherwise what he eats is that he may use a golden hoe to hoe the land."

"..."

With the ear strength of the two, as long as they want to hear the gossip around them, they can hear everything.

"They have completely lost their respect for me. These people in Yangcheng will become rioters if they are even slightly instigated by the remnants of the six kingdoms."

The first emperor was very serious.

As far as he knew, there were still many counties in Han that were governed by Taoists. Presumably, these cities were like Yangcheng, and they all lost respect for him as the emperor.

"Why should I be in awe of you?"

Ying Chengxi's rhetorical question made Qin Shihuang narrow his eyes and seriously consider whether he wanted to take back the land of Han.

If the subordinates do not have a sense of reverence for the superiors, they will not unconditionally obey what the superiors say, and the superiors will not be able to manage the subordinates.

Being able to ask this kind of question, Emperor Shihuang felt that the problem of his own brother's positioning of himself was more serious and difficult than the problem of the eldest son Yingfu Su Furen.

"The reason why Brother Huang asked Chun Yuyue to be Fusu's teacher is to let Fusu know what 'benevolence' is, right?"

Shi Huang nodded.

Blinding iron and blood will make those who dare to speak up directly disappear, make the people of the world panic, make those who follow the power rise to power, and cause the common people to die.

One person is short, others are long.

No one can always make the right decisions alone.

I don't know how to write the word benevolence, and it will only bring Daqin to perish in the end.

"Brother Huang, are you sure you know what 'benevolence' is?"

Ying Chengxuan asked seriously.

"Since I came to the throne, I have never killed anyone because of my personal feelings. I have acted in a relaxed manner and have clear rewards and punishments.

"It was a mistake to write the "Book of Chasing Guests". I apologize in front of the heroes of the world. It was a mistake not to listen to Wang Jian's words and use Li Xin to recruit 20 troops to attack Chu. I went to Pinyang to invite Wang Jian in person.

"Dun weakly contradicted me, and I let him be Shangqing. Li Mu wanted to kill me with a sword, but if I didn't kill him, I would make him the Marquis of Che and give him the land.

"Is it not kind enough for me to do this?"

Ying Chengxun shook his head.

"Correct corporals, value talents, how can this be called benevolence?"

"Then tell me what is benevolence."

"Ren means treating people."

Ying Chengxue swiped and swiped in the air, asking Shi Huangdi to know which word he was speaking.

"Be an adult."

Ying Chengxun pointed to the passers-by walking into the restaurant, the guy drying rice outside the rice shop, the jumping toddler holding his father's hand, and finally pointed to himself and Emperor Shihuang.

"Eaters are human beings, buddies are human beings, and children are human beings.

"They are the same as me and you, they are all human beings.

"Jen is the person who treats everyone as you and me."

The First Emperor stopped, turned his head sideways little by little, his brows and eyes were calm, and his face was calm.

He said calmly:
"Ying Chengxi, you are really crazy."

5000 people lived in Yangcheng for two days.

On the first day, the two brothers wandered around Yangcheng County.

The two arrived at the school.

Amidst the sound of books, the first emperor watched Ying Chengxue, who blew himself up, being praised by his teachers and praised by his students. There was even a Confucian scholar who worshiped Ying Chengxun three times and kowtowed nine times in public, calling him a saint.

The first emperor didn't take it seriously, and there were far more people who licked him than those who licked Ying Chengxue.

What made Shi Huangdi a little concerned is that.

The parents of those students, the eldest parents took eggs, dried meat, pickled vegetables, etc. Many school students saw the food secretly swallowing their saliva and kept feeding it to Ying Chengyu.

These people who don't say too many beautiful words just keep thanking them.The gratitude in many eyes overflowed and turned into tears.Returning in a hurry from half-planted in the field, two shallow marks appeared on his mud-covered face.

All counties and towns in Handi, with Xinzheng's implicit hints and his own wishes, have carried out a complete and vigorous publicity of Ying Chengxu's deeds.

From the very beginning, send the Chamber of Commerce to lead the people to revolt.

Then came the invention of movable type printing, the use of paper, and the establishment of schools, which completely opened up the precious knowledge monopolized by the nobles.

In the end, it was time to summon the heroes from all over the world to rebuild the order in Korea.

Han Di doesn't have to know who Ying Zheng is, but he doesn't have to know who Ying Chengxun is.

In Han, the three characters Chang'an Jun are far easier to use than Shi Huangdi.

Emperor Shiki

Cui Guang, the county magistrate of Yangcheng, also arrived. He first expressed his gratitude to Ying Chengyu, who was the first Taoist to be appointed since the founding of Taoism, and then proudly stated the development of Yangcheng - the population of the people, food reserves, crime rate, literacy rate, etc. wait.

These real data made Shi Huangdi standing aside feel a little unreal.

In fact, these data did not exceed the data created by the head of Guizhou under the guidance of the Guanzhong decree, in fact, it was a little less.

But this has already made the first emperor feel incredible.

For the first time, he changed Taoism. No matter how perfect the theory is, it is not as good as practice.

Taoism has proved with practical actions that without high-pressure policies, production can still keep up, and social development can still move forward.

"You are good to the people, and the people know it.

"They come close to me and talk to me, they have no respect for me but love and admiration for me, if I let them oppose Qin, will the emperor think they will?

"The Great Shang Dynasty died. The ancient sages Boyi and Shuqi did not eat Zhou millet, but ate it while hiding in Shouyang Mountain to pick weeds, and finally starved to death. It is a model of integrity and morality that has been passed down to this day.

"Brother Huang, if all the people in the world were Boyi and Shuqi, who would be able to go to Qin?"

The First Emperor was silent for a moment, and said:
"Let's talk about it after reading it all."

The two arrived at the only ancestral hall in Yangcheng.

This ancestral hall built spontaneously by Yangcheng people does not even have a statue.

There are no delicacies from mountains and seas in the tribute, but corn and other things that people often eat.

The ancestral hall occupies a small area, less than [-] square meters, but there is a constant flow of people, and there are always people who come to worship sincerely.

The first emperor entered the ancestral hall of his younger brother, and under Ying Chengxu's expression of "don't be too outrageous", he imitated the appearance of the people around him and bowed devoutly twice.

"I hope Lord Chang'an will ensure that my brother recovers from his epilepsy and won't go crazy again."

Zhao Gongming, who is already the Shangqing of the Great Qin Dynasty, has been waiting in this ancestral hall since he entered Yangcheng.

As soon as the two brothers Ying Zheng and Ying Chengxi entered the room, Zhao Gongming noticed it.The two can change their appearance, but they cannot change their inner aura.

Zhao Gongming didn't make a sound, and he didn't jump out until the two brothers left.

He looked at the back of the two of them leaving, and smiled wryly.

"I can't see through any of them."

The two have been to Yangcheng County Magistrate's Mansion.

All subordinate officials are very leisurely.

The two went to Yangcheng Prison.

There are only five prisoners in a prison in a county.

The two traveled through many areas in the city.

On the second day, the two brothers left the city and went to the fields near the county seat.

The farmers who worked one by one, and the ridges that were reclaimed one by one, convinced the first emperor of the data reported by Cui Guang.

The first emperor looked at the hard-working actions of the farmers, as well as the yearning and joy on their faces, and felt that it was very disobedient.

Peasants in Guanzhong worked as hard as they did when they were farming, but apart from numbness on their faces, there was nothing but patience.

"Yangcheng collects very little tax, most of them are kept by themselves, they do things for themselves, so they can laugh, and they have a bright future.

"Over there in Guanzhong, I don't need to tell you, Brother Huang, you know what's going on."

The First Emperor didn't make a sound, how could he not know?Those decrees were originally issued by him.

Peasants in Guanzhong have to work very hard to make ends meet. There is not much to eat, and most of the food has to be collected as food tax.

Peasants in Guanzhong are working hard to survive every day, and they know that there will be no change in their lives.

"This is the first year after going through food shortages, so they will work so hard, do you know what will happen to them in the second year?"

The First Emperor waved his finger at the hard-working peasants in a circle of fields.

"Very few of them still toil as they do now.

"Most of them will calculate carefully, deduct the food tax to be handed over to the government, and then calculate the food they want to eat. Then add a figure that can make them feel at ease on this food amount. They will work according to the calculated food amount, Their crops will be reduced.

"This is not my empty words, but historical cases, such as the recent Zhongshan country with low taxation.

"When grain production decreases and taxes decrease, the grain depots will be empty, which is a sign of the country's subjugation.

"Don't forget how Zhao Guo died.

"If Zhao Guo has enough food to continue to support it, they will not replace Lian Po."

The first emperor turned back with his hands on his back.

"Every time righteousness slaughters more dogs, it is the most heartless scholars.

"You open up the books and teach those children how to read and write.

"The children's father and mother are grateful to you because they are illiterate, ignorant, and don't have too many distracting thoughts in their hearts. Only when you give their children the opportunity to become nobles can they be grateful from the bottom of their hearts.

"You may be able to move these people under your command, but if our army overwhelms the border, guess how many people are willing to die for you under your command? It took 600 years for the Shang Dynasty to produce two non-eating Zhou Su Boyi, Shuqi.

"And when these children grow up, as long as I am dissatisfied with you, these children will verbally criticize you in order to stand in my favor and gain benefits, and even put a butcher knife on your neck.

"These are not my empty words, they are also evidenced by history, Guo Kai, who was greatly favored by Zhao, sold the country of Zhao for his own gain.

"I have seen your way of manipulating people before in Xianyang, and those carefree veterans really shocked me a little at that time, but that's all.

"It is possible to control thousands of people, but it is impossible to control thousands of people."

[Why do you have to think about controlling people?If I tell Brother Huang that I never did this to control people, Brother Huang will definitely say that I am crazy. ]
Ying Chengxun sighed in his heart and laughed lightly.

"Brother Huang's court is not limited to the Legalists, and Yangcheng is not the only county in Han."

The first emperor's eyes were brilliant.

Although he is not 100% sure about Yangcheng, it is an indisputable fact that Taoism was not inferior to Legalism in the early days of ruling the country, and even far surpassed Legalism in controlling people's emotions.

The first emperor is best at drawing inferences and using them for my own use.

The first emperor was generally satisfied with his trip to Yangcheng.

"I'm looking forward to it."

The convoy set off and left from Yangcheng.
