Martial arts crossing begins with the story of looking for Qin

Chapter 64
Xiang Shaolong said: "I don't have any great families in the Great Qin Dynasty, and the years of war have caused a lot of damage to these nobles. After the reshuffle of the world, the power of the nobles is not too big, and your majesty is the most powerful king in the past and present. In the short term, they won't be able to achieve success, as long as their development is restricted, and now is the best time to restrict them."

The First Emperor asked: "Just rely on what you said to let the common people study and break the knowledge monopoly?"

Xiang Shaolong said: "Yes. The common people are more likely to be grateful for the emperor's grace, and the most important thing in the hearts of these aristocratic children must be the family. In troubled times, they will choose to sacrifice the country to protect the family."

The First Emperor asked: "Wouldn't it be possible for a person of common origin to become an official to form a huge power?"

Xiang Shaolong said: "Everyone is selfish and wants to hold the greatest power. The more dispersed the forces, the harder it is to form a unified opinion. Who is the boss? Grassroots power comes from the king. If he wants to go further, he can It is not absolute that you must follow the king, but in general, what we want to protect is the majority. If Your Majesty gives ordinary people the opportunity to study, they will be grateful to His Majesty, and will they rebel? For thousands of years, which king has been like this Preferential treatment of the common people, if there are people who rebel, they will defend His Majesty to the death for their own interests. These commoners and nobles are natural enemies, one will ebb and flow, and the rise of the commoner elite will naturally restrain the development of the nobles."

The First Emperor frowned and said, "Everyone studies, how can there be so many official positions for them, and they can't be officials after studying, won't it arouse their dissatisfaction?"

Xiang Shaolong said: "The level of reading is also divided into high and low. As for the children of those aristocratic families who all study, some are elites and some are trash. Those who are good at reading are selected through the examination to be officials. Let the common people have the opportunity to be officials, and let the world The common people see the hope of breaking the solidification of the class. There is hope if there is a channel. If you want to be an official, you should study hard. If you can’t, let your son and grandson continue to study. Reading is better than rebellion. And reading makes people smarter , no matter what you do, it is beneficial. Smart people are better at farming than others. As I mentioned just now, if you want to establish a research institute, you need people who can read and write. To be a doctor, you need to study, calculate accounts, and be able to Reading, all the workers in my factory can read, which is convenient for management and can improve work efficiency. When I led the army, the soldiers all read, so that it is easier for them to understand strategic intentions and execute tactical orders. In fact, no matter what industry, reading Literate people are more competitive than illiterate people. We specialize every industry, such as farmland water conservancy, medicine, metallurgy, construction, judiciary, etc., and let specialized people specialize in research. Like the construction of Qianlong, it was because of Li Bing, the prefect of Shu County, is proficient in water conservancy, so he was able to build it, but if the local administrator doesn’t understand it, wouldn’t he not repair it? In recent years, the Zhengguo Canal and Lingqu Canal have relied not on the local administrator, but on professionals. The country can specialize in training These professionals, not those rotten Confucians who are full of words, even passed professional assessments and appointed professional officials. In short, there are places to place them. And after reading and writing, it is easier to understand national policies, and it is not easy to be deceived, provoked, and to communicate with the state. Right. Your Majesty originally loves the people, but if some people with ulterior motives misinterpret the holy will and make the people think that His Majesty is cruel and the laws are harsh, it will easily cause turmoil."

The amount of information was too large for the first emperor to digest all of it for a while, but some things could already be started gradually.

The imperial examination system was vigorously implemented by the first emperor, and now it is the peak of imperial power and the trough of the family.Although education has not been popularized yet, there are quite a few poor scholars like Li Si, and many of them are attached to the aristocratic family and act as disciples.Now that I can obtain fame by myself and enter the palace, I am overjoyed, and my heart immediately flies out of the aristocratic family and towards the emperor.

Xiang Shaolong also suggested that martial arts can be held, with equal emphasis on civil and martial arts.

Although the first emperor was a bit cruel and heartless in character, he was a very confident person. He was one of the rare emperors who did not kill generals or heroes.Although it cannot be said that he has complete trust in generals, he is not afraid of them making waves.

The Central Academy of Sciences, referred to as the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was established under the auspices of Xiang Shaolong in a low-key manner. This was the most important step for Xiang Shaolong to promote scientific research.He carefully sorted out all the natural science knowledge he knew and published it internally.

There is no need to waste time, starting from scratch, he wants to forcefully promote Chinese scientific research on the basis of what he knows.

Everything is difficult at the beginning. He first builds a framework, slowly cultivates talents, and accumulates a lot of money. He may not see the day of taking off, but he must lay a solid foundation and lay a solid foundation.This may be the most important task since he crossed.He will use all his energy for the rest of his life, even at his own expense, to do this well.

Under Xiang Shaolong's suggestion, the country postponed infrastructure construction, devoted all efforts to developing agriculture, reduced and exempted a lot of taxes, and the people were able to recuperate.

And Xiang Shaolong's main work is placed in the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and he occasionally cares about education popularization and imperial examinations.

The whole country is thriving, and the people are getting richer and richer.

The first emperor didn't know if he was too disappointed in longevity. When he knew that his life was over, he began to turn to luxury in his life.

The construction of Afang Palace began in 212 BC.

At this time, the Qin Dynasty did not need to build the Great Wall. Apart from the construction of the imperial mausoleum, the main projects were the Qin Zhidao, and under the attention of Xiang Shaolong, it was carried out in an orderly manner, and there was no problem of abuse of people's power. The country has always been stable.

Suddenly began to build palaces purely for pleasure, and the investment in the imperial mausoleum also increased. This is a change in the mind of the first emperor.

The first emperor was a very diligent emperor, working day and night for the country, and the country developed very well.He began to want to repay his limited life, and this change is also reasonable.

Xiang Shaolong knew that Emperor Shi Huang was not a fool, since he made such a decision, he must have thought it through very clearly, so he didn't open his mouth to persuade him.

Xiang Shaolong didn't make a sound, but someone did, it was the eldest prince Fusu.

Fusu, as the eldest son of Qin Shihuang, was doomed to be extraordinary from birth, capable of both civil and military skills, with a heart of benevolence, caring for the people, and daring to speak out.

Mr. Fusu feels that it is not advisable to build a large-scale construction project purely for his own enjoyment and enslave the people. This is completely different from the meaning of building a straight road, and it is not the work of a benevolent king.

Of course the first emperor knew that this was not done by a benevolent monarch, but he has devoted so much effort to the country, and in exchange for an unprecedentedly strong country, can't he reward himself?The whole world belongs to him, what's the matter with building a palace, the eldest son of the emperor is tearing up his face to accuse him and make him lose face.

The first emperor was furious, and sent Fusu to Meng Tian's army in the bitter cold area of ​​Mobei as a supervisor, and he was not allowed to return to Xianyang easily.

The First Emperor was furious and dispatched Fusu, shaking the government and the public.

Mr. Fusu has always been regarded as the direct heir to the throne. The next emperor, who did not expect to offend his father at this time, was demoted to suffer outside the Great Wall. Will there be any changes in the succession of the throne?

When Fusu left Xianyang, only Xiang Shaolong went to see him off.

In fact, Xiang Shaolong had never had any contact with Fusu.The identities of both of them are indescribable, and the past is too close to fear that it will cause the first emperor's taboo.This was the first time that Xiang Shaolong took the initiative to meet Fusu.

Outside Xianyang city, in the long pavilion beside the road, Xiang Shaolong brought only one follower, warmed a pot of sake, and waited quietly to help Mr. Su.

Fusu Qingche Congjian went out of Xianyang alone, and was surprised to see Xiang Shaolong on the left side of the road.

He had never had any contact with Xiang Shaolong, this time he offended his father, all the officials avoided him, and Xiang Shaolong actually dared to come out to see him off.

Xiang Shaolong looked at Mr. Fusu, he was handsome, but a little downcast, far from the heroic spirit he used to be.

Xiang Shaolong, as the emperor's teacher, was also conferred the title of King Jin, Fusu didn't dare to neglect, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and said in his mouth: "I have seen His Royal Highness King Jin."

Xiang Shaolong said: "There is no need to be too polite. You and I rarely communicate with each other. You are leaving this time and going far beyond the Great Wall. I will prepare a little wine and see you off."

Fusu said: "Thank you King Jin. I angered my father this time, and only the King Jin dared to send me off. Alas! The construction of Afang Palace required too much hard labor for the common people. It is really not appropriate for our Great Qin Dynasty to be established for the first time, and the people's hearts are not stable. Excessive use of people's power. I just want my father to be sympathetic to the people, and it is also for the sake of my country. I leave this time, and I don't know when I can come back."

Xiang Shaolong said: "Your Majesty is not a fool, I believe His Majesty can understand your intentions."

Fu Su said: "Then Father still reprimanded me outside the Great Wall?"

Xiang Shaolong said: "Beyond the Great Wall is indeed difficult, but it can't be said to be reprimanded. General Meng Tian is my No. [-] general in the Great Qin. His place is very important, and not everyone can go there. His Majesty rushed to the guard at the age of nine. The first line of the city, the harsh environment, has created a tough character. As the eldest son of the emperor, everything is going smoothly, and you have not experienced any hardships, so it may not be a good thing. Looking at your decadent appearance, I feel that your majesty's move is not right for you. bad thing."

Fusu's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Father means..."

Xiang Shaolong smiled and said: "Your Majesty's meaning, we don't need to speculate. Whether this trip will benefit you or not depends on you. That's all I have to say. I wish you a smooth journey!"

Fusu took Xiang Shaolong's toasted wine with vigor, drank it down, and said happily: "Thank you King Jin for his actions, Fusu will never let down the painstaking efforts of his father. If there is a chance in the future, I will pay my respects to King Jin again. Farewell! "

Seeing Mr. Fusu's swaggering figure when he left, Xiang Shaolong secretly sighed, this is a regrettable eldest son of the emperor.

"People on Moshang are like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world." Fusu is precious in kindness, but in the end he also died of kindness.

Xiang Shaolong sent Fusu off, so naturally he couldn't escape the eyes and ears of the First Emperor.The First Emperor naturally knew that they had never been in contact with each other, so it was very surprising that Xiang Shaolong would dare to come forward to see him off at this time.

The First Emperor summoned Xiang Shaolong and asked, "Nobody went to send Fusu off, only you went. As far as I know, you don't have much friendship. Do you want to express to me that you also support Fusu?"
