Those obscure and incomprehensible texts are easier to read.

The whole article is divided into sentences by those circles, so that people can better understand the idea and theme of the whole article.

"It's so amazing, I don't know who made this punctuation mark?"

"Even if you are reading this book for the first time, you won't need any difficulties."

"Since it is a classic of the Hundred Schools, it must have been made by the descendants of the Hundred Schools. Could it be Mo Feile, the descendant of the Mohist Family? Or Tian Sang, the descendant of the Farmer's Family?"

Civil and military officials, those bamboo slips sometimes nodded, sometimes shook their heads and read with gusto, completely immersed in the classics.

Meng Yi, who has always been proud of his talent, also showed approval?

"Colorful! Use these circles to read or write, which is convenient for yourself and future generations."

"A person who can create super-standard symbols is really a great talent!"

"Dare to ask Miss Mo Yu, who made this punctuation mark?"

Mo Yu raised her chin and said proudly:

"Although this symbol was marked by me, it was created by the young master."

Created by Gong Zijia?

how can that be!

Baiguan raised his head and looked at Yingjia in disbelief.

How could it be him?

Didn't the twelve young masters do nothing all day long and miss the affairs of Fengyue?

This punctuation mark was created by him?

Those of them who claim to have read classics all their lives can't create such symbols.

Meng Yi looked at Ying Jia in disbelief and said:

"I don't know when the young master created it? It should have been announced earlier, otherwise it would be much more convenient for us to read ancient books."

Ying Jia curled her lips, and seeing everyone looking at her in surprise, said while dragging her chin with one hand.

"My son just used punctuation marks, it's no big deal."

"You guys go down and look at it later. If there is anything else, please finish it quickly. I don't have time to spend here with you."

It was a pity for everyone to see Ying Jia and Mo Yu not caring.

It seems that he just invented punctuation at will, without realizing that this thing will change the way all literati read.

Immediately, he made up his mind that after he went to court, he would mark all his books with symbols.

There are very few classics left by Daqin, and the most famous one among them is "Sun Tzu's Art of War". The entire ancient book has only a few thousand words.

If you use punctuation, it will be easier to read.

There are many important ancient books in the Hundred Schools of Thought. If you have not touched the books, it may seem time-consuming and laborious, and you may not be able to truly understand the deep meaning of the term.

Thinking that the little punctuation marks will benefit all scholars, all civil and military officials looked at Ying Jia with more approval in their eyes.

In the end, it was Shangqing Mengyi who brought the topic to serious business:

"The Twelve Young Masters just said that they want to reform the law. I wonder if you can tell us now, which theory will be used as the foundation of Daqin?"

When the others heard this, they pulled their thoughts back and looked at each other. They were about to speak.

No matter which one Yingjia supports, they will attack Yingjia completely.

Ying Jia's words were beyond everyone's expectations:

"Every family has its shortcomings, so my son's family is not far away."

"You must have read many ancient books and have a lot of understanding of the works of hundreds of schools. If you have different opinions today, just stand up."

"Since there is a debate, it is a gentleman's debate. No matter what you say, I will not kill people."

Hearing this, everyone immediately felt relieved, and there was more arrogance and arrogance of a literati.

In the next second, someone raised an objection: "Since the young master said that every family has shortcomings, can it be said that my Daqin rule of law also has shortcomings?"

"Have you ever thought about it, my lord? It is precisely because of the strict laws of my Great Qin that robbers and killings have never occurred, and the lives of the people have become more stable."

As soon as the words fell, some ministers couldn't help but nodded.

Since the founding of the country, Daqin has ruled the country according to the law, and people have long been subconsciously aware of it, and have never realized that there is anything wrong with it.

Many ministers smiled contemptuously in their hearts.

Twelve sons, we'd like to see how you explain it.

Ying Jiayun smiled lightly:

"The laws of the Great Qin Dynasty are strict. If it is a time of war, it will naturally be beneficial. Use strict laws to restrain the people and rule the people better."

"However, it is already a time of peace. If such a strict law is still used, it will definitely create rebellious hearts among the people, thus reducing the development of productivity."

Everyone was in a daze, unable to understand at all.

Meng Yi: "What is the development of reducing productivity that the young master said, and what does this law have to do with it?"

Ying Jia sighed helplessly: "Then I will explain it carefully. According to the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty, if you throw garbage at will, you will have tattoos on your face, and if you cut down trees, you will be imprisoned for [-] days."

"An adult man who cries at will will be punished thirty times with a stick."

"It's such a small matter, but such a severe punishment, it won't take long for the common people to become timid and fearful. How can they dare to talk about creativity, let alone have their own ideas."

"The most incomprehensible thing for my son is that if the people of Daqin want to enter the Duke, they can only hack and kill the enemy on the battlefield."

"If it was a time of war, it would naturally boost morale. The soldiers fought hard for the Duke, but now that the world is unified, where is the opportunity for the people to be promoted to the Duke?"

"If things go on like this, there are only those few nobles in the Great Qin Dynasty, and the common people are still ordinary people, without creativity, which inhibits the development of industry, agriculture, commerce, and learning. The Great Qin Dynasty will become weaker and weaker, just like other dynasties in history."

"You say, should the law be changed?"

With this question, the officials who were directly confronted were speechless.

Even a reckless general who doesn't know how to govern the country can understand it.

They were born as nobles of the Great Qin Dynasty, they were served by servants for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and they ate delicious food and wine every day, so they naturally did not understand the hardships of common people's lives.

They only saw that in the past ten years or so, the taxes paid by the people have become less and less. Not only that, Daqin is still starving and dying everywhere. At first, the pressure was pushed on the people, and now the pressure is on the court.

Even corrupt officials are getting less and less money.

Isn't this a step backwards?

Seeing that everyone lowered their heads and said nothing, Ying Jia knew that they still knew Daqin's current appearance.

It's just that I didn't study where the problem lies, I only know that I can't worry about it.

Now Yingjia pointedly pointed out the suffering of the common people, and was overwhelmed by the nobles of the Great Qin, so naturally lost his upward momentum. In the end, the whole Great Qin seemed to be a pool of stagnant water.

After pondering for a long time, Meng Yi asked: "Since that's the case, can you come up with a countermeasure? Is there one of the hundreds of people who can solve Daqin's problem today?"

All the ministers also looked at Yingjia with hope. It was related to the future of Daqin. Although they were nobles, they knew that there were no common people. Where would their interests come from?

Nowadays, the survival of the common people is a problem, and the nobles will not be chic for long.

Seeing this scene, Ying Jia was not in a hurry to answer, but asked:

"Do you have any other questions?"

"It seems that you are all aware of the shortcomings of Daqin law."

Chapter 34 dismisses hundreds of schools of thought and lists the Six Classics.

Hearing this, everyone didn't know how to answer, and all turned their attention to Li Si.

Although Li Si was a student of Xunzi, he was indeed an advocate of Legalism.

His way of doing things and speaking has a deep legal thought.

Li Si saluted Yingjia unhurriedly and said:

"I have been advocating Daqin to study Legalism, but I didn't expect to indirectly harm Daqin. I am guilty."

"I also ask the twelve sons to solve our doubts for us."

Yingjia nodded.

"As a matter of fact, although my son believes that Baijia also has ideas that can solve Daqin, but there are disadvantages."

"Now everyone is aware of the pros and cons of the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty. Therefore, I believe that you should take the essence of the Hundred Schools of Thought and discard the dross, and create a new Confucian school."

"Confucianism promotes benevolence and righteousness, which is conducive to the establishment of core values ​​​​for the people of Daqin, and the people are united. This is a benefit."

"Legalists can rule the country according to the law, stop wars and disputes, and restrict some behaviors. This is beneficial."

"Mohism promotes both love and non-aggression, and Mohist institutions are conducive to improving Daqin's technological and cultural updates and improving the productivity of the people. This is also a benefit."

"Farms take the people as the core and follow the wishes of the people. This is also beneficial."

"Soldiers, there is the ghost valley theory...to improve the convenience of the people's lives...and other schools, they should make use of their strengths and avoid their weaknesses."

"Forming a new theory with Confucianism as the foundation, legalism as the wood, and the strengths of a hundred schools of thought can make Daqin prosperous and strong."

"My son summed up this idea as follows: promote the Confucian family and suppress hundreds of schools."

After finishing speaking, all civil and military officials in the hall were shocked.

Everyone's three views were severely impacted.

The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were the era when a hundred schools of thought contended. All countries had their own theories that were admired, and they were all unified by the Great Qin’s rule of law system.

Is it true that Legalism is no longer suitable for the current Daqin?

All scholars have never thought of collecting the strengths of a hundred schools of thought to form a new idea and govern the world.

Ying Jia thought he had made it very clear.

Looking at His Highness's people, everyone was hesitant to speak, thinking in their minds how to argue with Ying Jia.

They looked at each other, and they both saw the helpless and shocked expression on the other side.

Ying Jia knew that at this time, one should not be eager for quick success, but to adapt to the discovery of the Daqin society, and not to transfer all the governance concepts of later generations to Daqin at once, otherwise it might be counterproductive.

Even though this idea was only re-integrated, it still shocked everyone.

Not to mention those civil servants who have seriously studied the thoughts of a hundred schools of thought.

They started with the Great Qin conquering the six countries step by step, but now with more than ten years of governance experience, the legalist thought has also occupied the Great Qin, but now it has revealed its disadvantages bit by bit.

Now, Young Master Jia has put forward a new idea, and all the officials know how powerful this idea is.

It is unprecedented in history to depose a hundred schools of thought and establish the six classics.

Integrate the strengths of hundreds of schools to form a new school and promote the development of Daqin productivity.

It can make Daqin embark on a new path.

Now everyone is overwhelmed by Yingjia, and there is no place to criticize from his remarks.

For these civil servants, it was a slap in the face. Before, they had looked down on Ying Jia, a swinger who only knew how to spend his days and drinks, and was ignorant.

It took only a while, and the impression of him changed 180 times.

For a general, these words are too profound, and he can't understand what Ying Jia is talking about.

But seeing all the civil servants staring in surprise, one knew that Ying Jia's remarks must not be simple.

In the court of Daqin, the status of civil officials is higher than that of generals like them.

The civil servants moved their mouths, and these military officials would even break their legs.

At this moment, they are also extremely shocked, these twelve sons are too awesome.

These arrogant Confucians were completely shocked.

Although they don't know what it means to "remove all officials and establish the Six Classics".

As long as they can save Daqin from the fire and water, no matter what kind of family it is, they just need to obey.

As for the shadow hiding in the dark outside the hall, he frowned even after listening for a long time but didn't understand.

Civil and military officials said a lot of polite words, but he couldn't understand them at all, let alone memorize them perfectly.
