Daqin Ghost Valley, makes you vertical and horizontal but not unified

"There is no long-lasting family, which is equivalent to eliminating the monopoly of major families on various industries to a certain extent, so that the people can see the hope of climbing up."

After hearing this, Cao Chao was horrified.

I didn't expect this old man to be so powerful, he could see through the pros and cons of this system at a glance.

You must know that you have more than 2000 years of knowledge than the other party, and you can only see this after experiencing the era of information explosion.

But the other party can do it simply by relying on the limited knowledge of this era, which is really remarkable.

Sure enough, he is worthy of being a Confucian sage, and it is better to meet him than to be famous!

Cao Chao gradually became eager to ask for advice, and his demeanor became somewhat respectful.

However, just as he was about to speak, Master Xun continued,

"However, although the system of the Great Han is helpful to unify the world, it has actually reached its limit.

"Although Your Majesty has improved it wisely, it still cannot avoid fatal injuries.

"So after the great Han unifies the world, another system must be implemented, otherwise the world will collapse again in a few years."

After saying these words, Cao Chao's eyes finally changed.

According to history, the Qin State died in the second generation because it did not change the system established by Shang Yang after unification.

This person can even see this point, it is simply a god!

Cao Chao has already raised his heart to recruit at this moment, so he couldn't help but ask for advice,

"Then what kind of system should the big man implement?"

Master Xun raised a finger and replied seriously,

"Using ritual and music as the law to educate all living beings"

"!!!"

Cao Chao was shocked, and after bowing his head in thought for a long time, he frowned and asked,

"What Master Xun said, can this king be simply understood as the restoration of class rule?"

When Master Xun heard the words, a bright light flashed in his eyes.

He never expected that the great king would be so keen, and he grasped the inner essence with just a few words.

Yes, the so-called etiquette is nothing more than reshaping class.

The so-called enlightenment, the purpose is to let everyone accept this set.

This King of Han can see through this in an instant, it is really extraordinary!

So he nodded slowly.

"Exactly!"

Cao Chao frowned even more when he heard this.

"Why can't all people be treated equally?"

Although it has been more than ten years since he came to this world, Cao Chao is still influenced by his previous life in his bones, subconsciously hoping to treat everyone equally.

Shaking his head slightly, Xunzi said lightly,

"Because people's greed is infinite and can never be satisfied.

"As the king of a country, the most important thing is how to control the greed of the people below.

"Confucianism advocates benevolence and love, and sets a lofty standard for the world, but this is obviously not enough.

"Legalism advocates a system and enforces orders and prohibits them, but sooner or later it will lead to conflicts.

"Taoism advocates inaction, pure heart and few desires, but the reality is that most people can't do it, and they can't overcome their own desires.

"So in my opinion, it is impossible to rely on one theory alone. Only by integrating the strengths of Confucianism, Taoism, and Legalism, and through a series of means, can control the greed of most people."

"What means?"

When Cao Chao heard this, he hurriedly asked.

The other party's words gave him a feeling of seeing the sun behind the clouds.

Although Cao Chao had realized this before, he thought about abandoning the Qin people's legalist rule of the country after the reunification, and switched to Liu Bang's method.

After all, the great Han has survived for hundreds of years, and this Confucian concept of governing the country is definitely advisable.

Now after listening to what Xunzi said, I realize that my previous thinking was still too shallow.

Seeing this, Xunzi didn't hold back any more, and said loudly,

"The old man thinks that the standard of good and bad should be set for the world, and with the rules of etiquette and law, the greed of most people can be controlled."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Cao Chao and saw that the other party was bowing his head in thought, so he began to explain,

"At the beginning of human beings, nature is evil, we must let the world know what is good and what is evil, and let them have a learning goal.

"However, these are not enough, so we must also divide the classes through etiquette and rationally allocate resources to each class.

"In this way, people in the world can be encouraged to work hard, and the results of their efforts can be set within a reasonable range, at least not to break through the class and occupy the resources of other classes.

"In this way, people's desires can be alleviated without threatening the king's rule."

After hearing this, Cao Chao's eyes lit up.

He completely understood the other party's ideas.

That is to manipulate the redistribution of social resources through class.

For example, a farmer must ensure that he has land to plant, a businessman must ensure that he has goods to trade, and a scholar must ensure that he has the opportunity to be an official.

Thinking of this, Cao Chao couldn't help blurting out.

"Then once someone wants to break the barriers of this class, for example, scholars not only want to be officials, but also want to do business, and want to occupy a large amount of land, so what should I do?"

Xunzi smiled lightly.

"Then it's up to the law.

"Actually, Legalists are on the wrong path now."

"The real law of all ages does not lie in how fair it is, nor how detailed or harsh it is, but to fully ensure that the interests of all classes are not harmed.

"When some people want to use some means to break the hierarchy, they can also be suppressed.

"That's the real purpose of the law."

When Cao Chao heard this, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he was unable to speak for a long time.

After a long time, he sighed quietly.

"Today, the king of Japan knows that what has been learned in the past 2000 years is also learned by Xun!

"This king has a son named Feng, silver-haired and blue-eyed, nine years old, quite intelligent, I wonder if Master Xun can let him worship you as a teacher?"

Xunzi was taken aback for a moment, and then a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"Can!"

Chapter 804 The Jagged Alliance Behind the Turmoil

In Xinzheng City, thick smoke billows above the wilderness.

Wei Zhuang stood on the city wall, looking straight into the distance with a pair of eagle-like tiger eyes.

They turned a blind eye to the farmland, houses, and forests that were engulfed in flames outside the city.

"General, according to reports from scouts, an army of Qin people has appeared hundreds of miles away, and the number is tens of thousands!"

Behind him, the lieutenant reported with a solemn face.

"Several groups of scouts in our army have been attacked by enemy scouts, causing heavy casualties.

"Yimo will see, let them all come back."

Scouts have always been selected from the most elite soldiers in the army, and every death or injury is enough to make people feel distressed.

Obviously, the scouts sent by the Qin people this time are much stronger than their own in terms of number and quality.

In order to avoid losses, the lieutenant general's suggestion is also reasonable.

It's just that once the scouts are recalled, it is tantamount to completely losing the means to detect the Qin army.

Losing the enemy's trace and preserving the elite, no matter which one he chooses, for Wei Zhuang, he has already lost for a while.

"It seems that the army of the Qin people this time is all elite!"

Wei Zhuang said lightly, his expression didn't change at all.

The lieutenant behind him thought that Wei Zhuang would not save face when he heard the words, so he comforted him,

"You don't need to worry too much, the general. The walls of Xinzheng City are high and thick, and there is a large amount of food and grass in the city, which is enough for the army for three years. It will certainly be able to withstand the offensive of the Qin people."

However, when the lieutenant general was eloquent, Wei Zhuang turned around slowly and glanced at the lieutenant coldly.

The lieutenant's heart trembled, as if he was being targeted by a peerless beast.

I couldn't help shivering, and quickly closed my mouth.

However, what Wei Zhuang said next was completely beyond his expectations.

"How many members of the Jagged Alliance are there in Xinzheng?"

"..."

As soon as the words came out, the lieutenant general's expression changed wildly, and he took two steps back subconsciously, and quickly put his hand on the hilt of his sword.

He stared at Wei Zhuang vigilantly, and asked in a deep voice,

"When did the general find out?"

However, Wei Zhuang didn't mean to explain at all, or he didn't bother to talk nonsense with the other party.

With a glance of cold eyes, he said lightly,

"I was able to gather tens of thousands of horses and horses in just one month after I started the incident, and I was able to collect the food and grass needed for the army for three years.

"If there is no external help inside, is it possible?"
