My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 342 The Emperor’s System 1.0th Edition (please order all monthly tickets for rewards!)

But when Fusu arrived in Handan, he just stopped.

Handan and Changping are different.

Changping is a battlefield site, and the risk factor is not even half that of Handan.

This is the home of the old nobles of the Zhao Kingdom.

Fusu was surrounded by people like iron buckets, so tight that not even a breath of wind could get through.

After Ying Zheng destroyed the State of Zhao, he naturally cut off all those figures with high positions and great influence in the State of Zhao.

However, although the history of Zhao State is shorter than that of Qin State, it is the most orthodox Central Plains civilization. The people here are greatly influenced by Heluo culture.

The national system of Qin State and the political and cultural system of Zhao State are very different, which naturally leads to completely different ideological attitudes of the people of the two countries.

Although the people of Zhao State carried out the reform of Hufu, riding and shooting, it was only in terms of military equipment. At its heart, it was always a country with feudal feudalism. Half a year before the fall of the Zhao Kingdom, the nobles were still discussing the few pieces of land that the next prince and heir would inherit.

The people of Qin had long driven away those nobles who had no merit.

Although this natural blood inheritance rule also exists in Qin State, it is obvious that Qin State's rules are the most friendly to the common people.

In Zhao State, how could a commoner have the opportunity to become a minister or prince? Especially in the late Warring States period, the nobility became more degenerate and corrupt, and useless and incompetent people greedily occupied the power and positions of the country and made a series of wrong decisions one after another, which not only harmed their own interests, but also caused disaster to the innocent people of Zhao State.

But the people of Zhao State, even if they have a bad ruler, are not willing to choose the model of Qin State.

In a word, Qin State regulates too much and regulates too much.

When a son is born, he must go out to get married at the age of seventeen, separate the family, and open another household.

When a daughter is fifteen years old, she should be allowed to get married, give birth to children, and then be filial to her parents-in-law.

This filial piety to parents-in-law is also stipulated by Qin law.

This is the biggest problem of Qin State, turning something that was originally an individual's moral responsibility into a law.

This offended only two types of people among the people of the six countries at the same time.

One type is people who were willing to do these things, but they are naturally unhappy about these things happening.

The other type is people who don't want to do this in the first place, and they are naturally even more unhappy.

People all have a rebellious mentality. If you say something east, I will lean towards the west.

So when the people of the Six Kingdoms were forced to put on the reins of Qin's rule of law and morality, they suddenly felt breathless.

The system of the Qin State made the people of the Six Kingdoms feel that the country did not respect them and treated them like cattle and horses. The king does not care for the people and is not kind to the people. Naturally, they were very disgusted with Qin and very angry.

However, Qin State has gone through almost decades of reforms to reach where it is today. Boiling frogs in warm water, Qin used their system to tame the people bit by bit.

When the people of Zhao saw the people of Qin, they naturally laughed at the people of Qin. Your king treats you like cattle and horses. Are you willing?

The people of Qin replied that people live only for a meal, who cares about love and love. Be realistic. Moreover, your king of Zhao State keeps talking about benevolence and righteousness. Could it be said that King Zhao is very good to you?

Zhao Guoren stopped talking, turned around and left.

Therefore, in the criminal history records of Qin State, some cases of Qi State are often recorded.

Among them is a very interesting case, which happened after the Chu State was destroyed. A man from Qin and a man from Chu met, and they talked happily, and finally decided to embark on the road of crime together, although they were eventually executed. But this case surprised many people.

The people of Qin and Zhao could have coexisted peacefully.

So what is it that causes the already unified country to fall apart?

But in fact, perhaps the disintegration of the Qin Dynasty was the beginning of the gradual improvement and perfection of the emperor's system. The demise of the empire was the beginning of Ying Zheng's great political dream.

Facts have repeatedly proven that his political vision was forward-looking. He used this system to connect everyone in a huge territory. It's like using a set of machines to link the entire huge machine. Once this machine started operating, it lasted for two thousand years.

Although it broke many times during this period, it was always running.

The moral values ​​of the people born and raised in Zhao, Han, Yan, and Chu are always in a natural state. These six countries have never raised moral issues to the legal level.

Therefore, when the institutional culture of Qin State met the people of Zhao State, everyone thought that Qin State would rely on power to make everyone in the world obey this system.

But the truth is exactly the opposite.

It was the people of the Six Kingdoms who encountered the institutional culture of the Qin State. Their inner natural laws, etiquette rules, and ethical order had a huge conflict with the institutional culture of the Qin State.

This gave Qin's system new vitality, and an unprecedented era began here. The blending and convergence of civilizations also began here.

For the ancient Central Plains, the year when Qin Shihuang unified the world was a major change unprecedented in ancient and modern times.

The culture of Qin used to be unique.

However, when the Qin State absorbed a group whose public capacity far exceeded their imagination, the shortcomings of the Qin State's political system began to be magnified exponentially. At the same time, this system was also being corrected by the resistance of the Six Kingdoms.

Many people think that the demise of the Qin State was due to the military merit system of the Qin State.

But why did Qin's system make Qin stronger and stronger before and even during the process of annexing the six countries? But after Qin unified the world, Qin's continued expansion led to failure.

When a cup of light water is mixed with a teaspoon of salt, the water becomes salty, but the salt also breaks down.

Putting aside everything else, there is nothing wrong with Qin's military merit system. In any era, if a country does not want to fail in a war, this mode will be its first choice.

But in such an era of cold weapons, an era in which the feudal system and the system of Shiqing and Shilu are the mainstream, if a country wants to become strong, is there a better way than the military merit system?

Only the system of military merit and nobility can leave a path for common people to be promoted. Only the system of military merit and nobility can continuously ensure that the middle and upper levels of Qin are always active. As long as there are strong people who can break into the duel field of this high-level power, It can create huge benefits for the entire country.

But why did the Qin Kingdom decline when it was supposedly at its most glorious?

The emperor system created by Ying Zheng also perished immediately after its birth.

Because this emperor system itself is Ying Zheng's genius idea. No one had ever practiced this before him.

Ying Zheng's emperor system was only suitable for Qin's territory.

So after the unification of the world, the real integration of civilizations truly began, and the political civilization of Qin and the ideology and culture of the six countries began to be integrated.

Chaos often means the beginning of order.

In a sense, Qin Shihuang's emperor system is actually version 1.0, while the parallel system of prefectures and states in the early Han Dynasty is version 1.0.1.

It's just a pity that the version upgrade comes at the expense of human blood, flesh, and tears.
