[Sword Three] Ancestral Dragon, Longjing Tea?

In the late spring of the 15th year of King Qin, Yingzheng and Longjing visited Longxi and Beidi counties, went out of Jitou Mountain, and returned to Zhongzhong.It was found that the road was rugged and difficult to travel, which had a great impact on the transmission of official documents, so he ordered the construction of Chi Road.

At the autumnal equinox, seventy doctoral officers will play together, please seal Mount Tai——

After seeing the memorial, Yingzheng summoned seven of the most senior doctoral officers to discuss matters related to enshrining Zen and sacrificing mountains and rivers.Three of the seven people came from the old Zhou Dynasty, and four people came from the original Lu State. The two factions had another dispute.

Doctors of the old Zhou School advocated the ceremony of enshrining Zen in Ganquan Mountain to show that Qin is the foundation of the world.The Yuan Lu sect insisted that the ancient sage kings held Zen meditation on Mount Tai, and this tradition cannot be broken.

While they were arguing endlessly, Ying Zheng just smiled from the sidelines, neither stopped nor commented.Longjing beside him was not so patient. He really couldn't stand the way the seven old doctors were spitting and blushing, and he couldn't understand their sour theories quoted from classics, so he asked directly: "I want to know , Where exactly did Feng Chan do it?"

His shot temporarily stopped the flames of war. Among the seven people, Lu Qing, the oldest of the original Lu sect, said: "The sealer sacrifices to the sky, and the Zen master sacrifices to the earth. Together, they are the sacrifices of the saints and kings." The ceremony of telling the heaven and the earth. The intention is to tell the heaven and the earth that the emperor inherits the destiny to rule the world and the people, and pray for good weather, the country is safe and the people are safe. Since ancient times, the sages have accepted the destiny, and they are all held on Mount Tai, and..."

Lu Qing was getting old, and he had to gasp for three times when he spoke, and he lost his teeth, so he could slur his speech. Longjing couldn't take it anymore, and after he had spoken for a while, he looked at Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng asked someone to serve warm wine to Lu Qing.

Longjing asked the youngest of the seven doctoral officers again.In fact, it is not necessarily young, because although this one is very young among the seven, he is also old enough.He is 72 years old...

Coincidentally, the first half was said by Lu Qing from the original Lu school, but the 72-year-old is Ji Zhou from the old Zhou school.Ji Zhou bowed to Longjing, and then said: "According to historical records and the legends of Yin-Yang families, Mount Tai is [-] feet high and has a circumference of [-] miles. , said the mansion of ghosts and gods, from the west to the top, you can see that there is a hole in the sky below, and it is three thousand miles around.

Ying Zheng, who had been listening for a long time, finally asked, "What is the best season for Feng Chan?"

The seven people looked at each other for a long time before Lu Qing said: "I'm not sensitive, I haven't seen any records in the book yet."

"That means there is no limit," Ying Zheng nodded, "It's better to hit the sun than to choose a date, half a month later."

The seven people couldn't say anything wrong, they could only praise Ying Zheng loudly.

At this time, the world has been settled, and because of the obstruction of Longjing, every time Yingzheng pacified a vassal state, he used the method of pacifying the people and benevolent government. Apart from the Zhengguo Canal and the current Chidao and the Great Wall, there were no other major fortifications.There is no one in his harem, and he doesn't want to repair the harem.I don't even want to build any more houses, so there is no extra burden.Entrusting the state affairs to the corresponding ministers, he was able to take a little leisure for a day or two.

Fifteen days later, Ying Zheng and his party officially left for Mount Tai.

He left Hangu Pass this time, passed through the prefectures and counties of Han and Wei to the east, and pointed directly at Mount Tai.

After leaving Xianyang City, every time he passed through a city, local officials knelt to greet him at the ten-mile long pavilion. When entering the city gate and on both sides of the street, the common people lined up and knelt to greet him, shouting long live.

After staying in the post, Yingzheng was not in a hurry to rest, but invited the local elders to chat with them and learn about the situation here.And these people were deliberately selected by the local officials. Apart from constantly praising his sageness, denouncing the incompetence of the past kings and ministers, praising the justice and strictness of the Qin Dynasty, and cursing the corruption and perverting of the past officials, there is nothing else. explain.

Longjing was very interested in listening to it at the beginning, but after listening to it for a long time, it became disgusting, just like listening to the news broadcast every day in the 21st century: one yuan can rent a low-rent house, and the people live a very good and happy life. Leaders are busy investigating and condolences...

Ying Zheng didn't think it was wrong. These praises were right in his mind. He also felt that those vassal states were not as good as Da Qin, so the more he listened to them, the more he liked them.

When he arrived at Hangu Pass, Ying Zheng was already a little smug.

As for Longjing, after hearing the praise from the local elders in Hangu Pass, he finally couldn't help dragging Ying Zheng out with an excuse.

"A Zheng, what do you like to hear?" he said.

"Listen more to what the people say, and then you will know if what you are doing is right..."

Looking at Hangu Pass, Longjing suddenly took a deep breath: "But they are lying."

"kindness?"

"It's a lie to sing praises, and it's still a lie about that battle." Longjing said, "What did that old man say just now? The battle against Mianchi at Hangu Pass was all due to me?"

Ying Zheng didn't think it was a big deal: "I think so too."

"No," Longjing said, "it's not my fault. I know they're trying to say good things about me, saying that I'm wise and powerful, but that's not true. I made a big mistake in Mianchi and killed a whole city of people..."

He looked in the direction of Mianchi, took a deep breath, and explained everything in detail: "...I am not what they said, that war was won, it was not my credit, I killed ten enemy troops, but If you want to take advantage of my ten people in Daqin... this deal is a loss."

Ying Zheng only found out today that there is such a story in it.

But compared to the people in that city, he was more concerned about: "Why did you fall asleep at that time? Did the doctor say anything?"

Longjing shook his head and continued: "I was in Mianchi that day, I was self-righteous, I thought we would win if we killed those people, but no, after killing them, the enemy army was unrestrained, and the people were severely injured. I saw with my own eyes that such a small girl was... I can't do anything. Ah Zheng, I am not that great. You are not that great either. Our victory is based on blood."

Longjing said, "They're lying, they're just saying what they want you to hear. But you can't believe it. I don't think all the people will flock to us enthusiastically. Really, there is no such thing."

"One of our people once said, 'Prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer.' If you really believe their lies, it will be over."

"Prosperity, the people suffer. Death, the people suffer." Ying Zheng savored these words, thoughtfully.

Longjing's words were not pleasant, but because he said them, Ying Zheng was willing to listen to them: "Ajing, I'll listen to you, let's visit the people unannounced."

Longjing raised his head and finally smiled.

But this day's unannounced visit did not go well, because their clothes were so gorgeous that the common people would run away from them as soon as they saw them. Longjing tricked a child into asking about it by relying on the sugar cakes in the game package. It turned out that the local officials had already greeted them and they were not allowed to talk nonsense to outsiders.

With this sentence, Ying Zhengfang realized that Longjing's words might really be right.

The next day, Longjing got two tattered clothes, put them on, and put ashes on their faces, pretending to be two brothers from outside who came to have a meal, Fang and the people here had a conversation.

It turned out that many people came from the old six countries. Many of them didn't know the laws of Qin, so they were easily blamed. Only when they violated the law and were arrested did they know what they did wrong.And the local officials even bullied them for not understanding Qin law, so the sentence was very unfair, and they used this to collect money.Yingzheng wanted to build Chidao before, although he allocated money, but after the geese were plucked, the people who built Chidao not only did not get a penny, but also had to prepare their own dry food.For a while, everyone complained.

"It's unreasonable!" Ying Zheng, who finally learned the truth, scolded angrily, "This group of gnats, with my salary from Daqin, are doing things to deceive the superior and the inferior! It seems that the officials in the previous few cities also have question."

"The world is preliminarily determined. It is normal for officials to be short of manpower," Longjing gritted his teeth. "Besides, our management is mostly recommended. Those who come out like this will inevitably be protected by officials and officials. There is no way to do practical things."

"This kind of election method is a common practice. If there is no such a recommendation system, how can I, Daqin, recruit good talents?" Ying Zheng thought hard.

"It's simple," Longjing thought of the college entrance examination, "like all counties in Daqin set up exams."

When he said this, he smiled slyly: "For example, we can take the laws of the Qin State as one of the subjects, and then take how to govern counties as one of the subjects. Then they will definitely have to learn the laws of the Qin State."

"It's a good idea, and the officials recommended by the recommendation system start from the lowest level, but I can give these people who have passed the national examination a more suitable position." Ying Zheng has already thought of it, "In this way, one can let The aristocrats of the aristocratic families shut up, because their children are already literate and know the law, and the second is that they can gradually recruit some officials from civilian backgrounds to cultivate their own power."

"That's right, disciples of the Son of Heaven," Longjing said, "They are all your disciples."

"So, the examiners for this first exam are you and me." Ying Zheng smiled, "After all, I don't feel relieved to hand it over to anyone now. General Meng and General Wang both have their own clans. If you give it to them, they will It's also difficult to do. Besides, what we accepted is not our disciple?"

Thinking that he could be the chief examiner one day, Longjing was a little excited: "Yes, yes, this is fine. We can replace these officials with our own people."

"Moreover, we can also take the opportunity to push the laws of the Great Qin and the characters of the Great Qin into the hearts of the people." The more Ying Zheng thought about it, the more he felt that it was good, "In order to advance, we may need to make some appropriate concessions to the aristocratic families and nobles, but once it is done The practice is a good thing that benefits the country and the people and will last forever."

"Then you plan it first." Longjing said immediately, "I've already thought of such a good idea, I don't want to worry about other details."

Seeing that he started to shirk things again, Ying Zheng couldn't help laughing: "Okay, you have worked hard, you can rest."
