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

Chapter 146 Unnecessary!
After Zhao Si and the First Emperor resigned, they went straight out of the palace and headed for Li Si's office.

"The order to relocate..." Zhao Si sighed.

I don't know how Li Si feels.

Strengthening the centralization of power is not actually the core of Zhao Si's conception. In essence, Zhao Si proposed the order to move the nobles to explain one thing to the first emperor.

The era of co-ruling by nobles and monarchs is over!

In essence, Zhao Si wanted to change the current situation in which Qin Law oppressed common people, Li Shu, and made Shi Huang realize that Li Shu was the object that Shi Huang should fight for, not nobles.

Centralization of power, strong stems and weak branches, was just an irresistible temptation thrown to the first emperor.

The Legalists advocated that the poor should make the country rich and the people weak, but that the privileges of the nobility should not be violated. This is contrary to Zhao Si’s views as a modern person. Shangjun’s Five Arts of Controlling the People is a good law from Qin Xiaogong’s point of view. Good governance made Qin country prosperous and strong, but from Li Shu's point of view, Shang Yang really deserved to die.

The family was living well, but when Shang Yang came, the family was separated, the corvee was endless, and the tax was severe. If he was not careful, he would become a slave. He also encouraged each other to report and implement Sitting together, there are only two ways in front of the old Qin people in Guanzhong, either become bandits or become slaves.

In essence, Shang Yang's reform is to exploit certain rights of the great nobles to feed back the king, and then exploit certain rights and privileges from Li Shu to make up for the great nobles.

In the end, only the world where Li Shu was injured was achieved.

Although the old clan has experienced labor pains, the direct descendants of the old clan with the three surnames of Mengxi and Bai are still widely active in the court and still have a wide range of influence. Qiang is Zhao Si's colleague.

Not to mention the great nobles, although they were deprived of their hereditary ministers and the land of the duke by Shang Yang's order, Shang Yang allowed the land sale and set up a [-]th rank of military merit for them, which can be used as a substitute for crimes.

Shang Yang's reform, no matter whether it was an old clan or a big aristocrat, all they experienced were labor pains.

The title of the Qin Dynasty cannot be hereditary, and the Qin Dynasty judges meritorious service based on the first rank, but no one has revealed the unspoken rules of the Qin Dynasty's twentieth rank of military merit.

Only when you reach the rank of a doctor can you be qualified to take the title as a crime, and below the doctor, from the public to not more, you must have a real head of the head, that is, only the head of the enemy with the title of armor can be counted.

And if you are a little careless, if you violate the Qin law, you will have to lose your title and suffer.

Before being a doctor, it was extremely difficult to be promoted to a noble title, and each level of title had to be fought with one's life.

After becoming a doctor, the speed of being promoted to nobility has accelerated in a straight line. Although merit is still judged by the first rank, merit is the first.

Those great nobles, the direct descendants of the old clan, have never failed in this game, it just increased the difficulty of the game...

The victims of Shang Yang's reform were never them, but thousands of Li Shu, the head of Guizhou.

They suddenly have to start endless hard labor, high taxes, fathers without fathers, sons without sons, neighbors against each other, relatives against each other...

Shang Yang's key targets were the people, and the great nobles were only slightly damaged in this change.

But this is not bad. After all, the big nobles and old clans in Guanzhong have at least experienced labor pains and bloodshed.

At the very least, they have been integrated into the Great Qin's military merit system, and have become vested interests and unswerving defenders of the Qin Dynasty.

But the Six Kingdoms Old Gui is different.

At present, the laws of the Great Qin are being implemented all over the world, and the crimes suffered by the old Qin people in Guanzhong are imposed on the world, but the blood of the great nobles in Guanzhong, the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms will not have to shed. There is no such reason, Zhao Si is not convinced.

The people at the bottom will not be convinced either.

Whether Chen Sheng and Wu Guang had ulterior motives or whether they were from aristocratic backgrounds is hard to say, but it is undeniable that when they shouted out that princes, generals and Xiangning have kindness, it was the resistance of the lower class to the injustice of fate, at least at that moment. , they are the models of public opinion.

Zhao Si knew that they were suffering, and also knew that they were very tired.

Attacking the old nobles of the six countries and causing the old nobles of the six countries to bleed are only Zhao Si's secondary goals. Zhao Si's main goal is to deny the foundation of Qin's five techniques of controlling the people.

Zhao Si wanted to secretly change the concept, changing the target of oppression from the generals of Li and Guizhou to the local nobles.

So he gave the first emperor a proposal that was difficult to refuse, to make strong and weak branches, and to move the nobles.

It was indeed difficult for the first emperor to refuse, but the heavy responsibility fell on Zhao Si in a muddle.

The irresistible kind... Zhao Si simply wanted to do something easily.

In addition to coming up with a lot of wicked ideas with the mentality that I am going to die and everyone should not think about it, Zhao Si also wants to take the opportunity to seek some benefits for the real Qianshou Lishu, so that their lives will be better.

And to accomplish these, Li Si, is the point that can never be bypassed.

It is not only the order to move nobles that needs Li Si's assistance, but also needs Li Si's great help to dig out the idea of ​​governing the country that is foolish, weak, poor, tired, and humiliating.

After all, Li Si is the defender and creator of Qin Law today.

If Zhao Si wanted to unearth the Five Arts of Controlling the People, which occupies a core position in Legalist thought, he couldn't avoid Li Si.

Whether it's an enemy or a friend, Zhao Si doesn't know either.

However, Zhao Si had an excuse that he couldn't refuse.

That is the order to move you!

If you want to move the nobles, you must be kind to the people!

It may not be a big problem for Daqin to offend the great nobles in the world, but if he offends the great nobles and thousands of Li Shus in the world at the same time, then the problem will be serious. dangerous.

The move to nobility order is the bait released by Zhao Si. It is the easiest for the first emperor to take this bait. From the perspective of the first emperor, there is essentially no difference between the nobles and the common people in his eyes. No one can stop the first emperor from strengthening the centralization of power. Zhao Si only needs to Just state the facts, after all, the position where Emperor Shi Huang sits is unique in the world.

Li Si, however, may not be so convincing.

He is an aristocrat, a high-ranking official, and a master of contemporary legalism... His ass is not in the same position as the first emperor at all.

However, in the past few days, Zhao Si had already prepared a draft in his heart, and he was sure to convince Li Si.

If possible, he certainly hopes that Li Si can form a united front with himself, and the best result is that the two will work together...

Arriving at Li Si's office, Zhao Sitong was brought into it.

It is worth mentioning that Li Si's office is also very simple, except for a large number of bamboo slips on the bookshelf, there are no other decorations, only one case, one futon, and one person.

"My subordinate Zhao Si, I have met Li Xiang."

Zhao Si held the hand first.

"Don't be rigid, and sit down first." Li Si raised his head and signaled Zhao Si to sit down.

"Li Xiang must have seen the move to noble order. His Majesty entrusted me with the order, so I know that people will not speak dark words. If you want to implement this strategy, Li Xiang's help is indispensable. Dare to ask Li Xiang, what do you think of the move to noble order? "Zhao Si cut to the point and asked questions directly.

This kind of thing is nothing to hide and hide. It is a national policy. If you want to succeed, you must work together.

"A good suggestion." Seeing that Zhao Si was straight to the point, Li Si didn't make a fuss about it.

"Use power, fame, and wealth to transfer them, and then use the money to accuse them of getting their wealth, rewards to get their titles, and then divide them up. It will be much easier to implement the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty in the world." Li Si smiled. nodded.

Seeing that Li Si had a good impression, Zhao Si was about to ask the next question, but Li Si spoke again.

"However, Daqin now governs the country by law, so I won't say dark words. Whether it's giving grace to protect the tomb of the ancestors, whether it's counting as suing, rewarding titles, and family division orders, all come from unknown teachers, and the laws are endless. Daqin governs the country according to the law. , Shang Jun has moved wood to establish trust, the law is strict, and no usurpation is allowed. After the nobles move to other places, they will inevitably fear the head and the tail, and order the people to dare not violate the laws of Qin and Qin. What about them?" Li Si asked.

This is the question raised by Li You yesterday.

The teacher comes out of no name, and the law is out of bounds. This is the biggest problem with the Qiangui Order, and it is also the place where Li Si and Li Si contradict each other the most.

It's not that Li Si can't see these things, it's just that if he goes one step further, the temptation to surpass Shang Yang in his lifetime is too great.

But Li Si did not have hidden worries in his heart.

When the other party has not violated the Qin law, at least you can't produce evidence to easily question the crime, is it really based on such outrageous excuses and reasons?

Can't clarify the canonical punishment, will it really not disrupt the legal system?

Is it really okay to actively disrupt the legal system while implementing the laws of the Qin Dynasty?Will it really have no effect?

This is Li Si's question. Apart from the so-called rewards to seize the title, sue, and guarding the tomb of the ancestors, which are slightly forceful reasons, is there any real excuse for being famous, and an upright reason?

"There is no need..."

Zhao Si smiled and gave his own answer.

No culpability found, or does it really matter if they committed a crime?

"No need?" Li Si repeated, looking at Zhao Si with a little surprise.

For some reason, he always felt that these three words were a little too shameless.

"No need!" Zhao Si nodded affirmatively.

"Whether they have violated Qin Law and Qin Law, Da Qin popularized Qin Law and Qin Law, implemented various policies, and where the resistance comes from, Li knows better than I do." Zhao Si said with a smile.

"Either proceed step by step, as Li Xiang is doing now, nothing more than continuing to train Qin officials, continuing to attack nobles in various places in accordance with Qin laws and Qin laws, and promulgating various laws in a targeted manner. Or concentrate them in Guanzhong and hang their swords On top of their heads, completely solve the obstacles in the popularization of Qin law." Zhao Si smiled.

"It's just one thing, it's hundreds of years of work. Some people are in danger of dying, the trouble of changing the dynasty, and the worry of the monarch's failure. The first thing is that in his lifetime, the foundation of the rule of law can be completely laid. What does Li Xiang think?" Zhao said. Si smiled.

"The Warring States period was frequent, and their respective reforms were either cool or gentle, but I have never heard of a reform without bloodshed. Li knows this better than me.

Moreover, the current Daqin is not the Daqin when Shang Jun reformed.

When Shang Jun reformed, the worry of Qin was outside, trapped in the pass, unable to go east, surrounded by other countries, eyeing tigers, and the slightest carelessness, there was a danger of the country's collapse.

But now in Great Qin, the foreign enemies are no more than Baiyue Xiongnu. As for the so-called Baiyue Xiongnu, Li Xiang should know what is going on better than me. rather than outside.

The local aristocrats distorted the Qin law and used it for personal gain. The law did not reach the local area, and the law did not spread to the people.There is a serious shortage of qualified Qin officials, and Li Xiang can only use their hands to promote Qin laws and laws.

As agents of the Great Qin policy, they will of course avoid what is harmful to them, promote what is beneficial to them, and only reap the benefits but not the harm. If things go on like this, Qin Law and Qin Law will only become their tools for personal gain.

They will not let the head of Guizhou and the people understand Qin Law and Qin Law, they will only let the people know what they want the people to know about Qin Law and Qin Law. Li Xiang should know this better than me.

To solve this problem, Li Xiang must either cultivate enough Qin officials to compete with them, or kill them all.

But even if enough Qin officials are trained, they come to the place alone. If it is implemented, it will also be harshly criticized because it is difficult to make political achievements, and they only need to make peace with the old nobles of the six countries, and they can implement administrative orders, obtain political achievements, and gain power and wealth. Li Xiang thinks how these Qin officials will choose? " Zhao Si asked.

Li Si nodded in agreement, which was also the main reason why he couldn't put it down when he saw the Qiangui Order.

Because what Zhao Si said was not conjecture.

At present, there are too few qualified Qin officials in the Great Qin Dynasty, and they are not as good as the local nobles. What achievements can qualified Qin officials make when they go to the local area alone?
In recent years, Li Si has captured more and more Qin officials who made peace with the local nobles. This is a big problem.

Not to mention, there are still a large number of officials and officials who were born in the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms.

"Besides, there is another difference between the Great Qin of today and the Great Qin of Shang Jun's time." Zhao Si laughed.

"The Great Qin at the time of Shang Jun's political reform was surrounded by powerful enemies. Once the country is destroyed, all the nobles of the Qin State may have to destroy their families. But now... Great Qin is destroyed?" Zhao Si looked at Li Si with interest. .

"I guess, they hope to restore the momentum of the Seven Kingdoms and regain the prosperity of the enfeoffment."

"Thus, although the nobles in Guanzhong were also attacked by Shang Jun, they were also the targets of Shang Jun. Because at that time, Da Qin was worried about the outside world, but now Da Qin is worried about it. This group of local nobles should have been hit by Da Qin. Object."

"Li Xiang, today's world is not the world of Shang Jun's reform."

"It is no longer the nobles, but tens of thousands of Li Shu, who open up the territory and expand the land for the Great Qin, pay grain and taxes for the Great Qin, and serve the corvee sincerely.

They and Daqin are no longer sharing weal and woe, they are no longer pillars of Daqin, but moths of the country. "

"The former Shang rulers valued the nobles and despised the common people, so they had the five arts of controlling the people.

But in today's world, it should be more important than nobles.

Shang Jun forced Li and Shu to separate their families, and suddenly increased a lot of labor and high taxes. Was Shang Jun really famous at that time?

Lord Shang was famous for his mentors to the old clans and nobles, but he was not famous for his mentors to Li Shu.

In today's world, this group of old nobles from the Six Kingdoms is the trouble of the Great Qin. It is not an exaggeration to kill them directly. Do we have to find evidence of their crimes?What if you can't find it?Is it true that they continue to tolerate their breaking the law because of this?

I don't think there is a need to have one! "

Zhao Si is trying to change the concept secretly.

Although his face was calm and calm, but to be honest, Zhao Si was still a little uneasy when he secretly changed his concept in front of Li Si.

(No more, a little sluggish)
