Emperor Qin

Yan Jiang is familiar with the grasslands, is skilled in bowing and horses, and also has a little skill in delivering livestock and treating diseases. He can be said to be like a duck to water on the grasslands.

So it was almost no difficulty for him to sneak into Mobei's Maodun entourage.

After all, they fled to Mobei because they were unfamiliar with the place, and they needed to clean up the population of the small tribe to make up for the loss.

It took Yan Jiang more than four months to get a hit.

Because when Tou Mandan died, it was when Mao Dun relaxed his vigilance the most, and he even stepped out of the usual guard circle.

But he can't leave yet, because if he leaves, he is basically the most suspected one. These grassland tribes are very good at tracking, and Yan Jiang doesn't want to engage in a thousand-mile battle royale.

After being seen by the wizard on the grassland, the cause of death of Modu was determined to be poisoning.

But what kind of poison and when it was poisoned, no one knows.

The blowing needle was as small as a hair, and it fell somewhere when the corpse was moved.

Some people even suspected that Touman was unwilling to die and took his son to heaven.

After half a month of tension, the Huns started a new round of struggle for royal power.

Yan Jiang found an excuse casually, left Mobei and went back south. This time he left for nearly a year, and His Majesty was already so angry that he was Buddhist.

On the way to the south, he also met Gu Naluo who was preaching. The patriarch of the Baiyang tribe invited him to be a guest of honor. Yan Jiang originally wanted to discuss Buddhism with the Buddha, but His Majesty changed the previous Buddhism and made heaven and earth He strongly asked Ajiang to leave this prairie immediately, otherwise he would recruit a large number of people to build the Great Wall now.

What can Yan Jiang do, of course, to appease the bird and go back soon.

He went all the way south, and when he arrived at Hetao, he saw a new city rising.

A large number of farmers were farming by the river. He passed by and asked, and the other party replied that they were common people from Liyang, Guanzhong, who came to reclaim the fields.

"Your home is thousands of miles away, why come to Henan to cultivate fields alone?" Yan Jiang asked suspiciously.

"Back to Shangguan, there are nine brothers in my family, with a lot of land, but no idle land," the young man said with a wry smile, "After the Xiongnu was defeated last year, His Majesty issued an order to exempt those who went to Hetao to reclaim land for ten years. , the land will return forever, and there are many people in my hometown who want to get the land, so I come here along with it."

Yan Jiang nodded and understood the purpose of Emperor Qin. It has been four years since the destruction of the six kingdoms, and a large number of people have grown up. They urgently need to allocate land. However, Qin's land is still granted land. It must be obtained by military merit. After obtaining the land, If a person dies, the title and land inherited by the son will be discounted by [-]%, and the war in the past few years has only been to destroy the Huns, which obviously greatly affects the circulation of land.

Therefore, Emperor Qin ordered to reclaim new land on the border, and the land was permanently owned, and it could be passed on to future generations without discount. This is undoubtedly a very reassuring thing. The strength of the country gave these people confidence and made them dare to form a group to reclaim the land.

Moreover, according to what he discussed with Emperor Qin, in the future, this method must be used to reclaim the border and send a large number of people from the Central Plains to the four borders, so that the border can be completely stabilized.

He walked around the Hetao again. The uppermost side of the Yellow River's "ji" shape is rich in water and grass, and the land is fertile, which is very suitable for reclamation and cultivation. However, there are no dangers of mountains and rivers around. All the cities built here are isolated cities. There are changes, and it's hard to hold on here.

But then he laughed again, the people of the region don't take the boundaries of the frontier, and the country doesn't take the danger of mountains and rivers. As long as the country is strong, the lost land will always be returned.

He continued to go south, and saw a wide road with horses, horses, cattle and sheep passing by from time to time. The existence of Qin Zhidao had a great effect on controlling the grassland, so there was no need to worry about it in the north for the time being.

His Majesty ate a mouse in dissatisfaction, and it was very unhappy, thinking that A Jiang didn't believe him.

A Xiongnu prince, so what if he ran away, how could he be worthy of his emperor and empress chasing him thousands of miles away, so what if he could dominate the grasslands, if he killed the Huns once, he would certainly be able to destroy the Huns a second time.

Yan Jiang then worked hard to coax His Majesty, and promised to give him enough compensation when he went back, and pay him back for the vacancy.

His Majesty just gave up.

……

All the way back to Guanzhong from Yunzhong County, Yan Jiang felt a big difference. After attacking Beidi, the trade route became more prosperous.

Many times, you can see a large number of cattle and horses congested on the road, and goods from all over the Central Plains are in an endless stream. Yan Jiang even saw books of various schools of thought in it.

They are all engraved and printed, and the price is relatively cheap. You can also see public and private schools in remote counties along the way.

The public school is a smaller version of the Xianyang Academy. It provides Qin officials for the county and does not charge tuition fees. However, the requirements for qualifications are particularly high. There are three days of trial learning time. Those who do not perform well are basically not charged.

Private schools are schools opened by various intellectuals themselves, and there is no distinction between teaching and learning, as long as they give money.

Over the years, various schools of thought have flattered Emperor Qin in various ways, intending to be reused, but Emperor Qin ignored them all. He knew that governing the country required domineering and domineering, and he only picked what he needed.

Today's prominent schools are still the two schools of ink and law, but after the world has settled down, Confucianism seems to be a rising star, but their family's desire to restore Zhou etiquette and enfeoffment makes Emperor Qin very displeased, and they are basically sitting on the bench.

Because there are not many ways to earn military merits to pay off crimes, Qin Huang adopted Han Fei's opinion and deleted some too harsh clauses in Qin Law, which won the support of almost everyone—even Qin officials, remember Too many legal provisions are also very painful, let alone ordinary people.

Yan Jiang was very satisfied with watching it all the way, so when he returned to Xianyang, he didn't go to see Hua Hua, but was the first to meet Qin Huang, and he praised him very much.

The anger of his beloved wife not coming home for a long time was quickly extinguished under the admiration of the other party's eyes and the praise from the bottom of his heart, and another fire was ignited instead. Yes, proficient and simple, not difficult at all.

It's just that Nanzheng Baiyue's going out is fussy, so he needs to plan carefully.

……

As it was getting late, Fusu put down the documents sent by Zhisu Neishi and prepared to return to the palace.

When he left Guan Shu, he saw an old man on crutches guarding the door, looking at him expectantly.

Fusu was silent for a while, as if he didn't see it, he ordered the coachman to move on.

At this moment, the old man stopped in front of the car and bowed deeply.

Fusu finally softened his heart, and was about to speak, when he heard a voice as clear as a yellow warbler beside him: "Mr. Chunyu fainted in front of the Tao, why don't you take him to Xuntai Hospital?"

As she spoke, several strong female officers quickly stepped forward, covered their mouths, dragged people, and quickly took the struggling old man away.

With a smile on his face, Fusu got out of the car and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Junior Sister, for your help."

Lu Zhi gave him a cold look: "You are not determined, your majesty is in the prime of his life, I just don't want to make things difficult for the teacher."

Fu Su was a little bit ashamed and said: "It's not like this."

"Let's say a few words less," Lu Zhi looked at him with complicated eyes, saw the coachman and servants all engaged in a few battles, thought for a while, and then said calmly, "I was a little worried at first, but when I saw my husband come back earlier, I didn't think so. Don't worry, young master, it is a good thing for you to be kind and kind, but I advise you, kindness is worse than mediocrity, kindness is worse than weakness."

After finishing speaking, she flung her sleeves and left, leaving only Fusu to bow her head and think hard.

After several days of hard thinking with no results, Fusu finally couldn't bear it anymore and went to visit Yanzi with two big tigers.

Yan Jiang was by the garden pool at that time, wearing a single shirt, lazily lying on Huahua's body to bask in the sun.

After seeing Fusu, he smiled and invited him to sit beside him.

Hua Er obediently acted as a back for Fu Su, and Fu Su didn't get entangled, and directly talked about his own situation and Lu Zhi's advice.

A few years ago, when the Xianyang Academy started the assessment, and the students could be promoted to the court after two years of hard work at the grassroots level, there was a lot of tension among the various schools of thought. Apart from desperately trying to squeeze into the center, the three princes of the Qin Emperor There are also countless students around, and Fusu's benevolence, kindness and gentleness are very appetizing for Confucianism and Huang Lao. There are many students from the two schools around him, and Fusu also chooses some capable people to work by his side. His name of benevolence has established the image of a very gentle and respectful son. Now, the Confucianism is trying to convince him to convince the Emperor Qin that Han Fei will not be allowed to preside over the next school assessment, but will be supervised by a hundred schools of thought .

At the same time, they want Fusu to write a letter to the Emperor Qin, don't be in a hurry to go south now that the Northern Expedition has just completed, and should cherish the power of the people.

Fusu refused several times, but the Confucian and Huang families were determined, but Lu Zhi didn't want him to be too kind, he didn't understand what that meant.

Yan Jiang smiled: "Then what is your plan?"

Fusu calmly said: "The assessment should be based on the law, so that it can be fair. As for the Southern Expedition—the world's poor and weak are all in the heart of the father. Whether the people can bear it or not is his own calculation. Fusu should not question it."

Yan Jiang nodded and praised: "If you can understand this, you are smarter than your two younger brothers."

Thinking of Young Master Jianglu's hard work and Young Master Gao's aloofness and obsession with painting, Yan Jiang said calmly: "What E Ju means is that I don't recommend you to follow the Confucian routine, at least until your father is not dead. You have to be consistent with him, even if you are an answering person, this is not only for your father, but also for the world - don't panic, your father will not be so deaf to life and death, remember, there can be no two people in one world. One voice should dominate, the world needs stability, even if you want to move, you should not speak lightly."

Just like playing music, a regime must never have two different voices at the same time, because this is tantamount to telling some of the very key loyal officials (such as Han Feilisi) that in the future, you will be abandoned, and the next one will not be there again. Give you a chance to perform.

Why did Li Si kill Fusu in history?In addition to power, there are also reasons for self-protection.

It is such a big risk to kill the king, he is already seventy years old, if he is not sure that Fusu and him are not the same, how can he take such a big risk?Of course, in order to prevent the future from settling accounts, Li Si's proposal of burning books and burying Confucianism is the key to the conflict between Fusu and Emperor Qin.

At that time, people believed that after Fusu came to power, the world would be peaceful, but it was this view that made the conflict between Fusu-centered Confucianism and Li Si's Legalism almost irreconcilable.

Fusu was originally a smart person, he could see through a little bit, and when he heard the words, a big stone fell, and he thanked Yan Jiang.

Seeing this clear and bright young man go away, Yan Jiang poked Qin Huang who was covered by Huahua's huge tiger body, and said displeasedly: "I said, don't be busy with state affairs all day long, you have time to teach children!"

Qin Huang leaned lazily under the tiger, and said leisurely: "You need me again at this time?"

Just now he was playing with A Jiang by the water, Fusu who came suddenly let himself be hidden under the tiger like a thief by A Jiang, saying that he could not teach bad children.

Qin Huang felt that he had been greatly wronged, but when he remembered A Jiang's panicked appearance at that time, he couldn't get angry, but he was in a good mood.

"The art of the emperor, who do you not teach?" Yan Jiang frowned, "And the art of hundreds of schools, what do you think?"

The Confucian theory of great national unification and the principles of monarch and ministers are often very beneficial to a big country, but its exclusion will bring great negative effects.

Qin Huang said leisurely: "Ah Jiang is worrying too much, the way you need is now available in every family."

He just hinted that he would reuse the theories that supported his unification, and now Mofa, Confucianism, Daoist, Nong, Zonghengbing, etc. have worked hard to write books.

The Legalists almost shamelessly stated that "the way of the law lies in the king, and the way of the king lies in the sky." To confirm the correctness of Qin Huang's unification.

Confucianism is even more "the interaction between heaven and man, so that they can be unified", as the son of the king's destiny.

The Mohist said, "If your majesty benefits the world, heaven will bless it, and if the common people of the six kingdoms are evil, heaven will bring disaster to it." The emperor of Qin did a good job and was the agent of heaven.

The military strategist said that "the soldiers in the world put the king first and worry about the country" to show their loyalty.

As for farmers, strategists, yin and yang scholars, and novelists, they all cited scriptures to prove the inevitability of the world's people returning to Qin, and the high ground of thought was basically occupied by Qin.

They all put forward their own ideas and outlines, and at the same time copied the essence of other schools, making these outlines similar to each other with minor differences.

After Yan Jiang finished listening, he thought about the same and different schools of thought contending in the future, relaxed his mind, slumped on the tiger, and handed his hand to the king under the tiger with a smile.

Qin Huang turned on the tiger, and Ah Jiang pinched his abdomen that had lost his abdominal muscles with a chuckle: "Ah Zheng, you are getting fat again."

"If you dislike your majesty, Zhengqing will be punished!"

"What should I say," Yan Jiang evaded with a smile, "Your Majesty, spare your life?"

"You'd better save some effort."

"Huh~"

……

Huahua lay silently on the grass, looked at the stone in front of her silently, and raised her paws.

It is an old tiger, and it doesn't want to pay attention to these masters who only know how to play.
