Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 233 Abolition of private education, imperial power will not go to the countryside (please give me a monthly recommendation ticket!)
Xianyang, Zhangtai Palace.

Everything that people in the world can do is decided here, and it is all decided by one person.

Ying Zheng.

Fusu was called alone by Ying Zheng to listen to the training.

When Fu Su came in, Ying Zheng had just sent the attendants out.

"Meet His Majesty the First Emperor."

Ying Zheng asked straight to the point.

"I didn't expect that you would agree with Li Si's proposal to burn books."

In fact, before coming, Fusu was also murmuring in his heart.Even though he went against the grain and got involved in the matter, this time Ying Zheng was rare and did not immediately agree to Li Si's proposition.

Ying Zheng and Li Si always wear the same pants.

The biggest feature of Daqin, which ruled the country by law, is that violence, the simplest, most effective and direct means of dealing with problems, is highly praised to the extreme.

Fusu said directly.

"The world is unified and its regions are unified. Now it is even more important to unify culture and education to make the people of the world look to the Qin Dynasty."

"Literature and education are a revolving door used to cultivate the nobles' children to cultivate their moral character. How can they be applied to the common people?"

Fusu lowered his head and remained silent for a moment.

There is cultivation theory in communication science.

The influence of communication on the public is subtle, far-reaching and lasting.

When transportation and information dissemination are underdeveloped, the information received by the people is old and narrow.

In the Qin State, where imperial power is highly concentrated, the state's coercive power has reached its peak.

It is absolutely possible to use the method of universally establishing schools for the common people all over the world to directly control the public under the national educational ideological system.

Use educational methods to control the sources of information that the children of the common people have access to, and educate the common people ideologically.

Over time, they will naturally begin to identify with the Empire.

"I have lived in Xianyang Palace since I was a child, learning the six arts, so that I will not be indifferent to the four bodies and the five grains. Moreover, because I live in Xianyang Palace, if there are any changes in the world's major events, I will be informed of them as soon as possible."

"The common people live in the countryside and cannot leave the county. All affairs in the world can be seen from the official lists, and those who can read and write are mostly the three elders in the village."

The three elders were rural officials in ancient times who were in charge of education.

"Although there are three elders, the terrain in the countryside is remote and far away from Xianyang. The ignorant people in the countryside listen more to the words of the three elders. The three elders of Qin are naturally trustworthy. But the three elders of Wei and Qi must still hold up the old Japanese writings and pass down the The etiquette of the old country."

"In the counties and counties in the countryside, there are many wealthy businessmen and gentry who are willing to invest in the establishment of private schools for the education of the village."

"Therefore, in counties and villages thousands of miles away from Xianyang, especially in the countryside, not only are private schools from the Six Kingdoms rampant, but the three elders are highly respected in the local area. In many cases, the words of these three elders are even more powerful than those thousands of miles away. Your Majesty the Xianyang Palace will still be able to use it."

Ying Zheng naturally frowned after hearing this.

"I understand. What you are talking about is also true. Although there are 36 counties in the world, there are millions of villages. I live deep in Xianyang Palace, and it is really difficult to control me."

Fusu was dressed in white and bowed respectfully.

"Your Majesty also asks for an order."

As he spoke, Ying Zheng suddenly said something.

"On the contrary, I never expected that you would agree with Li Si."

Fusu shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"I have always been concerned about this matter of education, but your Majesty was not willing to use my proposal to establish schools all over the country, so today I have no choice but to agree with Li Si's plan."

"The next step?"

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows.

"Do you think Li Si's proposal is a bad idea?"

Fusu looks good.

"Not only is it a bad idea, it will also harm the country and the people."

Ying Zheng's face turned dark after hearing this.

If it wasn't for the purpose of asking this matter clearly before making a decision, Ying Zheng actually issued an edict at that time.

He was just worried that Fusu was on the wrong team.

If he stands with Li Si, then the marriage I proposed for him will lose its meaning.

Wang Wan is the prime minister and can support Fusu.

But seeing Fusu's suggestion to Li Si, he was actually very despicable in his heart. While Ying Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, he was also a little dissatisfied with Fusu's conceitedness and arrogance.

"A person who is about to reach the crown still speaks in such an inappropriate manner."

Ying Zheng's long voice came.

When Fusu heard this, he felt very uncomfortable.

How can you say that I am not decent?

You don't even look at the history books to see how many future generations of literati you have offended because of your decision to burn books.

"Li Si devoted himself to serving others and was knowledgeable about ancient and modern times. How did it come to your eyes that Li Si's proposal to burn books turned out to be a policy that harmed the country and the people?"

I am your son, and Li Si is your minister.

When he gives you advice and suggestions, it is so that you can give him a high official and a generous salary; and when I give you advice and suggestions, it is for the sake of your empire.

Why don't you understand this, Ying Zheng?

Fusu tilted his head slightly, sounding weak.

When Ying Zheng saw Fusu's stubborn look, he raised his eyebrows.

"The more shameless you become."

"Nobles and common people are inherently different. Nobles are born to rule the common people, and common people are born to submit to the nobility."

"As for poetry and books, they are not something that the common people should enjoy. As for those scholars, if they are willing to serve me, then they are scholars of our country, Qin. But if they are not willing to serve Qin, they are my enemies. ."

I don’t know if these words were of any use to Fusu in the past.

But for Fusu, who had been exposed to ideas such as equality, civilization, and democracy, these theories were more powerless than his fallen leaves in autumn.

But the fact is that we are still in the early feudal stage of the evolution of government power, and Fusu will naturally not refute it.

If you want a huge country or a society to proceed in an orderly manner, then all citizens in the country or society must transfer some of their power and hand these powers over to the government, which then lets the government make decisions. Allocate these resources.

This is politics.

In the feudal society period, the emperor alone represented the government.

Therefore, if you want this country or this society to not collapse, the emperor of this country must be a good emperor.

This is what Mencius said: "No one can be a king except a saint."

Fusu soon puffed up his chest and faced Ying Zheng with a solemn expression.

"Your Majesty's teachings, Fusu must keep in mind. But I insist that private education must be abolished among the people, but burning books is absolutely unacceptable."

Ying Zheng's expression changed slightly, and his eyes darkened.

"You openly said in court that you agreed with Li Si, but after you went to court, you told me that the proposal of burning books would bring disaster to the country and the people. Orders were changed day after day, and you had no opinions of your own on major issues. Acting like this, teach me how to rest assured that you will be the second generation in the future. ?”

Fusu felt a little wet in his heart.

But Fusu said.

"I am the second generation, and I am out of reach. My father is full of energy, and all I want in my heart is to assist my father."

Ying Zheng naturally laughed after hearing this.

Assist me?
It's obvious that I have trained you well.

But Ying Zheng then thought that his son had indeed done something.

Ying Zheng's eyes softened a lot, and the fingers of his right hand tapped the hilt of his sword slightly.

That's what Fusu said last time, so Yingzheng gave him Zhi Su Nei Shi.

The bright yellow sunlight shines through the window onto Ying Zheng's lacquered desk, and the peach blossoms, who don't know where they came from, actually float to Zhangtai Palace.

Fusu watched the falling petals float to his feet.

This is what Ying Zheng said.

"Be flat."

Fusu then put down the hand he had been holding.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly. It's not Fusu who has a weak will. Fusu has just explained the whole story. Feichen is always thinking about it. In fact, Junfu is the emperor of the Great Qin Empire, and everything is controlled by Junfu." Decision. Since your father has previously rejected my proposal, I can only agree with Li Si’s proposal."

　I'm busy today, please help me catch the bug, I'll change it as soon as possible.
