Daqin: Zulong faked his death, and I amputated the beauties in the harem

After thinking about it for a long time, I don't know what reason to refuse, because no one would refuse such an invitation.

The First Emperor hurriedly changed the subject: "You are only a member of the Twelve Princes, can you decide who will be an official? It seems that only His Majesty can appoint officials."

Hearing this, Dong Zhongshu paused.

It turned out that he was so hesitant because he was worried that I would not be able to appoint him.

So patiently explained:

"Of course I can't appoint you directly, but I am the Prime Minister of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. I will preside over the reform for a while, so I naturally have the right to recommend talents. Moreover, the old man is really talented, and the twelve sons will definitely see it."

"As long as the old man is wronged to be a county magistrate first, it doesn't take a year. After the Twelve Young Masters ascend the throne, I'm recommending you to come to the court."

"The twelve sons will definitely appreciate you, and they will never stop here in the future."

"I don't know what Mr. thinks?"

Ying Zheng didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Unexpectedly, there would be a day like this for him, and he could only be made an official if he was favored by a Confucian scholar.

Thinking about how to refuse.

I still have important things to do, so how can I have time to be a magistrate?What I want is the country that was taken away by that traitor.

"Thank you Dong Xiang for your love. This old man appreciates it. It's not that this old man really wants to refuse, but that I still have things to do. I really don't have time. I really failed Prime Minister Zhong's good intentions."

Dong Zhongshu seemed unable to believe his ears.

Actually rejected it outright?

If you become an official, you will have a bright future. How could anyone refuse?

Could it be said that the old gentleman disliked the official position of the county magistrate for being too small?

Absolutely not, meeting such a talented person must not be easily let go.

Be sure to keep him.

"Old man, don't think that your official position is too low. You will be promoted in half a year. Naturally, I want you to be by my side."

"In this way, don't be in a hurry. After you have dealt with your own affairs, you can think about it carefully. After you have considered it, you can come to Xianyang City to find me. I will definitely find you a higher official position, or even a higher official position. Any official position in the six ministries is acceptable."

"I'll write you a letter, and you can make any decision at that time, okay?"

Seeing that Dong Zhongshu was still unwilling to give up, Shi Huang was about to directly refuse, but a more interesting decision came to his mind.

So he said sternly: "I do have important matters to deal with, and it may not be until August when I see Prime Minister Dong again."

Hearing this, Dong Zhongshu became even more excited.

Sure enough, the old gentleman just felt that the official position of the county magistrate was too small.

He must have thought of taking up the position in the Six Departments, otherwise he would have rejected me outright.

I can't blame Dong Zhongshu for being so impatient, because there are not many people available around him.

Reform thinking is just in the early days, but scholars all over the world are still decadent and stubborn.If he wanted to do something, he had to do it himself.

Although the old man in front of him admired Legalism and didn't quite agree with Confucianism, he looked at the problem and pointed it out sharply.

Presumably, after following him, he will definitely become his most powerful helper.

Presumably the old man will also change his mind and re-understand Confucianism and Legalism.

With a wave of his hand, Dong Zhongshu asked the young shopkeeper to bring out the finest paper.

"Old man, I'll write down a few words, you put them away for the time being, and when you get things done, take this letter and come to Xianyang to find me. I'll tell you about the official position at that time."

Speaking of Dong Zhongshu's pens, he wrote three words on that piece of paper: Dong Zhongshu.

When the ink was dry, he folded the paper and put it in an envelope, and taught it to Shi Huang.

Shi Huang accepted the letter with a smile, but sneered in his heart.

"Chengxiang Dong, right? I will definitely remember what you said, and I will definitely come to you in August."

"it is good."

Dong Zhongshu laughed.

"Then I will wait for the old gentleman in Xianyang City. If the old gentleman is not given a satisfactory official position as agreed, the old gentleman can explain to the twelve sons and ask the twelve sons to condemn me."

"Okay, the words of a gentleman."

"The old man will definitely come to see Prime Minister Zhong in August."

There was a knife hidden behind Ying Zheng's smile.

Hmph, just let you be proud for a while.

When we meet in August, if you honestly admit your mistake and call me grandpa, maybe I can leave you a whole body.

Shi Huang didn't leave because he still had a lot of things to ask.

So he went on to say: "Dong Xiang, can you now explain how the Twelve Young Masters promote this new idea?"

Dong Zhongshu was pleased with Ying Zheng's guarantee, so he said even more excitedly:

"If it was before, Zhongshu couldn't tell you. After all, it involves Daqin's secrets. If others find out, it might endanger me, Daqin. However, the old man is not such a person. Zhongshu believes in this."

"Actually, there are a lot of things to do. Zhong Shu will choose some important ones to tell my husband. You can also use them as a reference. I will definitely come into contact with them in the future."

Chapter 82 Taking the World as a Chessboard

Ying Zheng naturally listened as much as he could, the more the better.

After finally meeting a subordinate who was important to that Nizi, and who didn't know him yet, he was still afraid that someone would recognize him along the way.

Otherwise, he couldn't continue pretending.

Ying Zheng nodded, expressing his understanding.

So Dong Zhong said slowly: "The Twelve Young Masters once said that the people are the foundation of the Great Qin. We must carry out reforms according to the wishes of the people and put the people first. Only in this way can the Great Qin develop better."

"People-oriented?" Ying Zheng frowned: "Many people only know how to farm. How can they make Daqin develop further?"

"If you say that, what will those scholars think when they hear it?"

"If you only rely on the common people, then this Great Qin doesn't need scholars?"

Dong Zhongshu shook his head: "Scholars are naturally needed! It's just that there are relatively few scholars here, and more ordinary people. Has the old man thought about it?"

"What if these common people can also become scholars?"

Let the people also become scholars?

The first emperor thought it was just a whimsical idea. It would be good for most of them to be able to grow the land and eat enough. They face the land and their backs to the sky every day. Where can they have time to study and where can they have extra money to study?

If there is a famine, the common people may have to sell their children to make ends meet.

Being able to read and study is mostly something that princes and nobles have the opportunity to do. They can invite famous local scholars to be private tutors.

Even if ordinary people want their children to study, they don't have this opportunity.

Whether it is to invite a private school teacher, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, or to buy a book to read, it is not a small expense.

Reading is something only nobles can afford!

"Ordinary people don't even have much food left over. How can they have money to support their children's education? Most of them think that reading is not enough to fill their stomachs. The most important thing is to work in the world."

The first emperor shook his head, saying that it is almost impossible for everyone in the world to read books.

"Don't worry, old man. Under the leadership of the Twelve Young Masters, the national power of our Great Qin is growing stronger day by day. The people will not only have enough to eat, but also store up surplus food. This way, there will be more and more people in Great Qin."

"The court will also establish a school palace, every county and Xianyang City will have one, from children to teenagers, and even the weakest years have the opportunity to study."

"Select more capable gentlemen, so that children who are willing to enter the academy will have the opportunity to study."

"In each county, a gentleman can help more than a dozen children at the same time, so that the tuition fee for each child is not too much, and the cost can be afforded by the common people."

"Set up a middle school in the county town, select the better children from among the children, or the children who can continue to afford the tuition fees, and the learning will naturally be more advanced."

"The school in Xianyang City will have a higher entry threshold. If it continues to develop like this, the common people will find that those children who study a lot have a higher vision and are knowledgeable enough to be officials in Xianyang City."

"Do you think they will send their children to study in the palace? Moreover, Twelve Young Master Wei once said that as long as the people realize the importance of studying, even if the whole family is hungry, they will send their children to the school." of."

"Reading can change one's destiny. It is not only the royal family and nobles who can be officials. Ordinary people can also be officials as long as they are educated. In this way, they can see hope in the future and strive to get rid of their current class and life of poverty."

"These people have been ordinary people for generations. They know how hard this kind of life is. Even if they pay more efforts and costs, they will give their children the opportunity to study."

"This is the countermeasure that the Twelve Young Masters came up with. The reform also reduces the taxation and tyranny of the people. If the people continue to be oppressed, they will rebel sooner or later."

"Because they have no chance to change their destiny now, they have been living a life without enough food, which will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of the people and cause riots. Even if my sons and daughters of Qin Dynasty are brave and fearless, can they face Chang Ge against their own family?"

"No, they will even rebel."

This……

Shi Huang was stunned.

Is this Great Qin so turbulent?

Are the people being forced to rebel?

I always thought that only the remnants of the Six Kingdoms would have the heart to oppose Qin, but I never thought that the power of the people is the greatest.

Thinking of this, Shihuang didn't know when cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

If Xiao Twelve hadn't come up with such a countermeasure, and if Zhen really died, what would Daqin have become?

He couldn't imagine it at all.

He was thinking about what Dong Zhongshu said about establishing a school.

Child, teenager, year of weak crown, school palace?hope?

Will the people really do anything to break the current class?

He was born as a prince, where did he experience the life of common people?I don't even understand how big the gap between the classes is.

The whole Great Qin is his own, so how has he ever been exposed to the oppression of the lower class?

Shihuang just woke up.

It turns out that the people want to break the class is the most important thing.

Who is willing to be the bottom of the Great Qin?Who doesn't want to be a Daqin official for a lifetime of glory and wealth?

According to the old laws of the Great Qin Dynasty, if you want to establish a meritorious title, you can only look at beheading the enemy's head on the battlefield.

However, there has been no war in Daqin for more than ten years, and the only way up is blocked.

Being oppressed by the upper class for a long time, they will think of overthrowing the rule of the nobility and becoming the upper class themselves,

As long as you give them a little hope, they will not use violent means to solve the problem, and they will be more motivated.

This motivation is definitely faster than holding a whip to supervise the craftsmen to build the Efang Palace and repair the Great Wall.

At this time, Shihuang finally figured it out.

As long as you give the people hope, they will work hard!

At the same time, he also thought of one thing, the common people live a prosperous life, and every child can study, so what will Daqin become?

Ying Zheng was surprised: "If there is such a day, there must be people with knowledge and vision everywhere in Daqin, and they will surely lead Daqin to an unprecedented prosperous stage."

"The matter of tuition fees has been settled, and the pen, ink, paper and inkstone necessary for scholars also need a lot of silver!"

Hearing this, Dong Zhongshu didn't explain too much, but just pointed to these things around them.

Obviously, this was telling Ying Zheng that he was ready for these things.

Shi Huang was shocked.

It was so!

No wonder the young scribe said that this new paper could carry my Daqin culture.

Shihuang seemed to see a ray of light coming in from layers of fog.

It turns out that this new paper also carries the hope of the people.

It turned out that all of this was preparing for the development of Daqin.

It seems that a game of chess doomed to failure is placed in front of Yingzheng. The difference is that the chess board is Da Qin, and the common people, civil and military officials are all chess pieces.
