Qin Hu

Chapter 103 It's better to be a teacher!
The civilian husbands and soldiers took half a bucket of brown rice, led by the local county lieutenant, and left contentedly!
Wang Li sent out all the soldiers of the rear army, and checked the camp three times back and forth. After confirming that there were no hidden dangers, he waited outside the gate for Ying Zheng's royal driver to arrive.

Zhao Zihu practiced Jiu-Jitsu for half a day, exhausting his physical energy. He was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, but he didn't have the heart to wait for Yingzheng. He took Zhao Tuo and others directly into the camp, and found a fixed camp for the clan's children. Stay in your own yurt.

Then, wash and peel off the prey that was hunted on the road, roast it on the bonfire, use a razor blade, dip it in wild onion sauce and eat it!
After Zhao Zihu finished his wild barbecue meal, the moonlight was already covering the camp, but Ying Zheng's royal driver had just entered the camp.

Han Fei, Zhang Liang, and the master of Confucianism came to conduct today's class. When they saw the barbecue on the bonfire, they leaned on their knees and vomited: "yue~!!! Vomit~!!!"

Zhao Zihu was so disgusted by them that he asked speechlessly, "What's the matter? You've been pregnant for several months, and the morning sickness is so severe?"

Han Fei wiped the filth from his beard, and said angrily, "What a strange thing to say. If you see today's scene, you might as well be a teacher!"

Zhao Zihu was wondering why Yingzheng's royal driver was so late today, it was already dark, so he rushed to the camp.

So, he asked curiously, "Did Yu Jia encounter something on the road?"

Han Fei stroked his chest and nodded, "Yu Jia found out that the Guanzhong officials working here colluded with the local gentry and amassed wealth."

"Your Majesty was furious because of this, and sentenced the official who was born in Guanzhong to five punishments as an example to others."

"Your Majesty, the emperors, were ordered by His Majesty to observe the punishment. From the beginning to the end, those who felt unwell and fainted on the spot were also forcibly awakened by His Majesty to continue watching."

"It's really tormenting~!"

Zhao Zihu raised his eyebrows, and said to himself that it was okay, he had escaped a catastrophe by mistake.

Yingzheng is like that tyrannical landlord Lao Cai, no matter how much he squanders, he doesn't feel distressed.

However, if the old domestic slave dog dared to steal the meat from the family, then his stingy nature would be exposed, and killing the other party as an example to others was just a basic operation.

Of course, this was mainly because of Qin Fa himself. Even if Ying Zheng didn't lose his temper, officials from the old Qin people in Guanzhong would not do much good.

The so-called five punishments are ink, ji, ji, gong, and dapi.

In human terms, it is facial tattooing, nose picking, leg chopping, castration, these four physical punishments, and finally beheading, or beheading.

These five kinds of corporal punishment are ancient punishments that have been passed down from the Spring and Autumn Period. All Xia countries have their own preferences. For example, the land of Qilu where Yu Jia is now prefers to use the punishment of cutting legs.

For this reason, the term "shoes are cheap and expensive" was even born. The popular explanation is that those who sell shoes starve to death, and those who sell prosthetics make a lot of money.

That's a hell of a joke!

Shang Yang, on the other hand, pioneered the combination of five kinds of corporal punishments into one, and created a "common five punishments".

Well, ordinary common people, even petty officials and nobles, are not eligible to enjoy the punishment of quartering by five horses that Shang Yang himself enjoys.

Only the emperor is eligible to use six horses, and five horses are the treatment of princes.

Still a hell of a joke!
In addition, it is worth mentioning that the last of the five punishments of Qin Faju is usually not beheading, but beheading.

It was the punishment Li Si enjoyed later.

Because, cutting in half is enough to scare people's hearts. Cutting a person into two from the lower abdomen, and then blocking the wound with a wooden plank to prevent the intestines from leaking out, the victim can live for a while.

Live in pain for a while!

Such a tragic scene can scare the observers into the urine!
Qin has strict laws and punishments, so everyone is afraid of the law, dare not make troubles, and devote all their energy to farming and warfare...

In short, Zhao Zihu was really lucky today, and escaped with the cold-blooded thirteen eagles, otherwise he would be forced to watch the torture, and at this time, he would probably be like the three of them, vomiting like hell!
"Then what, please be patient, take a break and eat something, I'll go to send some barbecue to Father."

Zhao Zihu cooked a large lacquer box of roast lamb with a razor blade, poured sauce and seasonings on it, closed the lid to keep it warm, and rode a red rabbit horse to deliver it to Ying Zheng himself.

This is a legitimate skipping class in the name of filial piety. The doctor of Confucianism who came to teach is not easy to stop. He glanced at Zhang Liang, who was pale from vomiting, and said to Han Fei: "Brother Han, this student, you, rubbed against me all day long." Confucian knowledge, in the future, will you count as your disciple of Legalism, or will you count as my disciple of Confucianism?"

In the past few days, doctors of Confucianism came to teach Zhao Zihu in turn, but Zhao Zihu skipped class every time, and in the end, Dr. Confucianism and Han Fei taught Zhang Liang alone.

Today, Zhang Liang can be regarded as a Confucianist and Legalist!
Han Fei smiled and said: "Why do you have to make such a clear distinction? Master Xun advocates the simultaneous development of law and rites, but I am ineffective. I got into the horns of Legalism. Now that I teach my disciples, I want to make them return to the right path. I just need your help." .”

The Master Xun he mentioned naturally refers to Xunzi.

Later generations of Confucianism were stunned by the rebellion against the violent Qin and the demons, and they must talk about Confucius and Mencius, and they rarely mentioned Xunzi.

As for the reason, it is also very simple, because Xunzi's theory advocates both law and ritual, and puts law before ritual.

Moreover, Xunzi said that human nature is inherently evil and needs to be controlled by the law.

This kind of theory, at this time, will not feel anything, but when the Tyranny established by the Legalists collapses suddenly, it will instantly become a negative example.

Confucianism opposed the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty and Legalism, and they even opposed their own descendant, Xunzi.

But in fact, the monarchs of later generations all believed in Xunzi's way of governing the country, and the law was always placed before Confucianism. This is a tacit matter.

The Qin political system has been practiced for a hundred generations, and the first emperor's heart has been used for ten thousand years, not just talk!

Everyone is against Qin, everyone is Qin!
"Brother Han wants his disciples to learn the knowledge of both legalism and rites. In this way, Brother Han's belief in specializing in Legalism has been shaken?"

The old Confucian asked with great interest.

Han Fei nodded generously: "There is nothing wrong with emphasizing the law in troubled times! But now that the world is in peace, it is convenient to enforce laws and rites, restrain them according to the law, and educate them with rites. This is because the time is right. If you stick to the door and only rely on the words of one family, it will be difficult for a long time, and you will go astray. !"

The old Confucian was stunned, and he raised his hands for a while and said: "Brother Han can see it, I might as well..."

……

……

In the imperial tent.

Ying Zheng was already bathing and changing, ready to eat some food, when Zhao Zihu came to deliver the barbecue, and then... Ying Zheng threw up looking at the barbecue!
It is better to vomit all the bitter water out.

"Did Coward come here on purpose to make fun of your father?"

Ying Zheng asked angrily while rinsing his mouth with tea.

Of course Zhao Zihu came here to see Zulong's jokes, it could satisfy his bad taste, just like beating Hu Hai.

But these things can't be said, they are purely teasing.

So, he resolutely shook his head and said, "No! Father, please don't misunderstand me. I heard from Master Han Fei that Father was very angry today, so I sent food to express my condolences."

Ying Zheng looked at him suspiciously: "Really?"

Zhao Zihu nodded heavily: "That's true!"

Ying Zheng shook his head noncommittally, and said helplessly, "Let's just assume that's what you are... and sit down at the table, and have a few drinks with Weifu."

Zhao Zihu bowed his hands and sat down beside his table in a kind manner. He had eaten enough barbecue, but he would not refuse to drink fruit wine.

Well, he finished drinking the fruit wine he borrowed from Han Fei!

"Your embroidered clothes envoys, bad people, Jinyiwei... should definitely be put on the agenda. The imperial censor is too easy to be concealed."

After the father and son drank half a cup, Ying Zheng started the conversation while eating the roast lamb, and said with emotion.

Qin has a censor, led by one of the three lords, the censor doctor, who is stationed in all counties and counties, or patrols from time to time.

But just like what Ying Zheng said, the censor is always on the bright side. If someone wants to hide it, he can succeed, but he can fool him for a while.

Those who feel that they can't hide it can even run away ahead of time. This trick is not only played by future generations, as long as he is a corrupt official, he will play.

As for where to escape?
The paradise in Zhao Zihu's heart, Jizi North Korea is a good place to go.

That place was established by the survivors of the Yin and Shang dynasties. They also expressed their submission to the Great Zhou Dynasty, paid tribute to the emperor of Zhou, and became one of the vassal states.

Well, it should be said or not, the name of Little China can actually be established from now on!
Of course, this is not the point... The point is that Jizi North Korea is still independent from the rule of the Great Qin, and it seems to be the best place to take refuge. It is much more refreshing than the bitter cold outside the Great Wall, or the wild land of South Vietnam.

After arriving in the place, no one knows what dirty things you have done before. With your own talents and learning, you can still continue to be an official.

After all, anyone who can read and hyphenate characters is a treasure in this pre-Qin period, and they can earn a living wherever they go!

But Yingzheng obviously didn't want to give those guys a chance to escape from Daqin, he wanted to do everything he could, and set up a secret monitoring system as soon as possible, complementing Yushi one bright and one dark!
"Father, the envoys who secretly monitor will always give them officials and titles, and if they have officials and titles, they will ask for money and food."

"How many monitoring envoys do we need to place in counties, counties, and even villages and pavilions? This is equivalent to the sudden addition of a large number of officials in the Great Qin Dynasty. Does the treasury have money and food to support it?"

"If there is no money and food to support and people work for nothing, then I am afraid that the dragon slayer will turn into a dragon in seconds, and use his power to find ways to collect wealth and support himself!"

Zhao Zihu splashed cold water quietly.

Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, and the anger he raised just now was somewhat vented.

He knew what Zhao Zihu wanted to say later, it was nothing more than opening up business restrictions and opening up new tax sources, otherwise Daqin would not be able to support too many officials.

Not to mention, there will be a school to be opened in the future!
Every pile needs money and food!
"In the past, why didn't I realize that Daqin was so short of money and food?"

Ying Zheng took a sip of fruit wine and sighed hesitantly.

Zhao Zihu also took a sip of fruit wine, and said: "If the status quo is maintained, Daqin will not be short of money and food in the future, but if you want to do things, Daqin will definitely be short of money and food in the future."

Ying Zheng knew this was a simple truth, but he really had doubts about opening up business restrictions and shaking the foundation of the Great Qin farming and war.

He pondered for a long time before saying: "Boy, you have always had strange ideas, don't you have other ways to open up money?"

Zhao Zihu scratched his head: "There is one... However, it is not a good idea. After a long time, it may become a burden for Daqin. It is better to let go of business restrictions."

Ying Zheng just didn't want to shake the foundation of farming and warfare. As for whether he would be able to bear the burden or not, he felt that it shouldn't matter.

This has changed from a cowardly baby to my son.

Zhao Zihu smiled and lowered his head, sipped the fruit wine and said, "Father doesn't want to open up business restrictions, but also wants to make money, so you might as well do business in the name of the Daqin government."

"Well, that is to set up an official business!"

"Recruit a group of businessmen, give them a small official title, and let them use the capital of the treasury to do business. If they make money or lose money, it will be the treasury's money."

"Of course, if you do a good job, you will be promoted to a higher position! If you do a bad job, you will lose your position and be dismissed!"

Ying Zheng was dumbfounded when he heard this, put the wine bottle to his mouth, but forgot to drink, blinked and blinked his red and phoenix eyes, and after a while, he suddenly put the wine bottle on the table, and praised: "Wonderful! Official business, official business is wonderful! "

"With the huge wealth of the national treasury as the backing, the imperial court can take over all the benefits of business in this world, and the wealth will continue to flow!"

"In this way, the private merchants can be run to death, and let them go to farm and fight honestly!"

As soon as this remark came out, Zhao Zihu was stunned.

Fuck, can you still play like this?
But, should I say it or not, it seems to be very operable!

What the hell, things are going in an incomprehensible direction.

However, the shortcomings of the government and businessmen are there, and later generations can learn from others, such as the Grand Canal where millions of Cao workers live and feed.

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, navigation technology tended to be perfected, especially after the Sanbao eunuch, it was actually possible to abandon the Grand Canal and use sea transportation entirely.

But the water transportation still didn't stop, and the interests involved were too great to move at all, and the emperor didn't dare to move.

But everything moved.

He dared to turn against a million Cao Gong!
Those officials will not speak for the emperor, because they are also the guys lying on the canal sucking blood!
The same is true for officials and businessmen, and it is even more terrifying.

Under the feudal system, according to Ying Zheng's vision, what kind of monster might it develop into?

Anyway, Zhao Zihu couldn't imagine it at all.

Is it the East India Company of the Great Empire?
It doesn't seem like it either!
After all, East India is a capital game, and Emperor Daiying is only one of the shareholders!

It is a state-owned enterprise...

It also seems a bit nondescript!

Everything is unknown!
At this moment, Zhao Zihu suddenly understood Ying Zheng a little bit. It was really uncomfortable to feel the feeling of crossing the river by feeling the stones.

"Bring cloth and silk."

Ying Zheng greeted, and the servants hurriedly went to prepare.

Ying Zheng turned to look at Zhao Zihu who was full of confusion and said, "You, why didn't you tell me earlier if you have a good idea? I have been worrying about my father for a long time."

Zhao Zihu blinked Danfeng's eyes: "This is not a good idea. I feel that if I really want to use this method, Daqin will fall on it sooner or later. Father, don't believe me."

Yingzheng hesitantly said, "Believe me, my father, after a hundred years of my father's life, you will be the second emperor, if it doesn't work well, I'll abolish it!"
