Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 133 Zhao Si's Proposal, Move the Old Guis of the Six Kingdoms into Guanzhong!

In fact, Li Si was not in a hurry...

There was no point in arguing with Zhao Si on this kind of issue.

Everything ultimately depends on the will of the First Emperor. Li Si has stood up to this day, and only Li Si still has power among the three princes. It is not that he cannot tolerate people who disagree with him.

At the very least, no matter what Zhao Si said, it would not affect Li Si's status and power.

It will not affect the fact that Daqin is based on law.

After the court meeting was over and he accompanied the First Emperor to exercise and eat as usual, the First Emperor sat down before the table, looked at Zhao Si with great interest and said, "Tell me..."

Zhao Si was taken aback for a moment, he thought that the matter of the court meeting was over, he had indeed prepared a lot of drafts, now that the price of salt has dropped, the old problem recurred, so he stopped in his belly.

"Your Majesty, my subject... this shallow opinion..."

"Say!"

Shi Huangdi didn't even raise his head, but his voice sank slightly.

"Your Majesty, what I want to say is actually no different from what the court said.

The small people in the head of Guizhou have no assets and no ability to produce and sell illegal salt. They buy illegal salt just to survive. This is human nature.

Similarly, the common people in Guizhou are powerless to misinterpret the Qin law. Most of them are illiterate. How can they distort the meaning of the Qin law?How can we talk about discrediting Daqin and His Majesty.

In Guanzhong, since the reform of the Shang Dynasty, there may be small people who do not want to flee for the servants and concubines, or there are Guishou who are unable to bear the corvee and become bandits, but I have never heard of anyone gathering to cause trouble. "

The First Emperor nodded: "Continue talking!"

"When Lord Shang reformed, it was not a smooth journey. He was obstructed a lot, and even Lord Shang himself died because of this. However, most of the obstacles came from the public clan, from the old clan, not from the head of Guizhou."

"If you think of the country as a big tree, the Qin State in the past was a miscellaneous mountain tree with twisted branches and wanton growth. The reform of Shang Jun is to prune the branches and leaves to strengthen the trunk.

Before the reform of Lord Shang, the stems were weak and the branches were numerous. After the reform of Lord Shang, the stems were strong and the branches were weak.

And after the Great Qin unified the six kingdoms, the miscellaneous branches and leaves that had been pruned before all grew again.

Right now, the Great Qin is implementing the laws of the Qin Dynasty, popularizing the laws of the Qin Dynasty, making cars on the same track, writing in the same language, walking in the same way, unifying the weights and measures, and unifying the currency. It is nothing more than pruning the branches and leaves again to make the trunk stronger. "

The First Emperor glanced at Zhao Si in surprise, but he didn't expect that Zhao Si could use trees as a metaphor for Great Qin, and reforms as pruning branches and leaves, and the comparison was so appropriate.

"In my opinion, the current Great Qin is the same as the Great Qin before Shang Jun's reform, that is, the stem is weak and the branches are strong, so no matter whether it is to implement Qin law or implement policies, there are obstacles, and even many areas have already been punished... ..."

The First Emperor nodded. The First Emperor was naturally aware of this problem, otherwise Great Qin would not have implemented so many policies.

Qin has implemented so many policies and taken so many measures. To put it bluntly, the starting point is to strengthen the control of the central government and weaken the influence of local forces.

"In your opinion, what should we do?" Shi Huang looked at Zhao Si with interest.

"The branch is strong but the trunk is weak, it's nothing more than a strong trunk and weak branches." Zhao Si said.

"Then how to strengthen the weak branches?" Shi Huang put down the bamboo slips and looked at Zhao Si and asked with a smile.

Zhao Si was able to see the problem, very good, this is the embodiment of insight.

According to Zhao Si's analogy, Daqin's various current measures are all aimed at solving the problems of overgrowth and weakness, and the influence of the central government is not enough to control the deep places.

"Leaving aside Che Tonggui Shu Tongwen, Daqin is already pruning the branches and leaves." Zhao Si said.

"I have other methods..." Zhao Si said seriously.

He thought about this problem a long time ago, and he also thought about the solution.

Then, the answer was found in the man who was often compared with the first emperor.

"Move the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms and enter the customs!"

It is worth mentioning that, in fact, the situation faced by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Shihuang was similar.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once promulgated the famous "Moving Maoling Order".

All wealthy families with a wealth of more than 300 million yuan will all migrate to Maoling near the capital.

The decree of Tweeting Grace, the decree of moving to Maoling, the reward for winning the title, and the sue are all for the purpose of centralized rule in essence.

The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, and the Qin Dynasty pioneered the unification of the Xia Dynasty, but the Han Dynasty also contributed to the unification of the Zhuxias.

The Qin Dynasty laid the foundation, and the Han Dynasty continued to strengthen centralization and weaken local rule based on the foundation of the Qin Dynasty. This was the fundamental reason for the unification of the Xias. Qin and Han should be viewed together.

Whether it is the system or the basic behavioral logic of various government orders, there is actually no essential difference between the two.

In the same way, the first emperor's implementation of the Tonggui Shutong Wenxingtonglun unified currency weights and measures, and received the soldiers of the world, as well as the new order of the head of Guizhou to clean up the blood of the six royal families. In essence, it was also to prevent restoration. big.

It's just that Qin's attack targets the six royal families.

After all, the main opponents of Qin Shihuang's destruction of the world were the six royal families, and considering the background of Qin, most of Qin's capable officials came from other countries, whether Shang Yang, Lu Buwei, the Meng family, or even Li Xin, etc...

Not to mention that there are not enough cultural people in this era. Qin needs to rely on the nobles to govern the place and break the old ruling model of the six royal families.

In the Han Dynasty, the six royal families had been completely shattered by Qin.

Therefore, the problem facing the Han Dynasty was the expansion of the power of local nobles, princes and dukes.

To put it bluntly, Da Qin is still inexperienced, and the blow to the nobles of the six countries is not enough.

The fact that the Xiang family can live honestly is evidenced by their influence on local forces.

Now the problem of Daqin has long been not to fight against the losers of the six royal families, or to prevent people's livelihood resentment from gathering into robbers.

"Just like what I said, who is serving, who is paying taxes, who is guarding the border, and who is distorting the Qin law, disrupting the region, and seeking personal gain?" Zhao Si smiled.

"Strong trunks and weak branches, weak ones should not be Guishou, how can Guishou be considered as a branch? Guishou is not even counted as leaves... They are rain, water, and mud!"

"Issuing laws and regulations, moving the old nobles of the six countries into the customs, seizing their nobles, taking their wealth, and killing their people, naturally the strong will be strong and the branches will be weak, and the world will be stable." Zhao Si said.

The First Emperor sat down...

Zhao Si's starting point is different from the others.

In fact, to put it bluntly, the times are different. Daqin is just at the end of the old era and the opening and expansion of the new era.

Just like for Daqin, you can confuse it with the Spring and Autumn Period of the Warring States Period.

It can also be compared with Qin and Han Dynasties.

This is a transition period, the old has not faded away, and new problems are swarming again.

"Everyone says that the Warring States and the frequent wars between countries are a world of great contention. Otherwise, I think that now is a world of great contention."

"Now the Great Qin is ruling the world for the first time. It seems to be a new dynasty, but it is actually an old country."

"The current dispute lies in the dispute between the old and the new!"

"The ambition of the previous emperors of Qin was to unify the world, but your majesty's ambition is for thousands of generations to follow."

"Change is strong! No change is perish!"

"Your Majesty, the foundation of Great Qin has never been the old clan, but the old Qin people. The enemy of Great Qin has never been the Six Kingdoms, but the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms.

It was not a fluke that Qin destroyed the six kingdoms!
The Six Kingdoms did not die at this time, but a hundred years ago!
The trouble of the Great Qin Dynasty was never the restoration of the six royal families.It lies in the fact that the old nobles seek selfishness rather than the country.

Great Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms once, and could destroy the Six Kingdoms twice, three times, ten times, and a hundred times. "

"Strong stems and weak branches, move nobles and issue orders..." Shi Huang stroked his beard thoughtfully.
