Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 239 Jun’s father’s move was a small gain but a big loss (please give me a monthly recommendation ticket!)

Ying Zheng looked grim.

As for whether the Qin State should use Confucian principles or Legalist techniques to govern the world, Ying Zheng had already begun to consider such issues long ago when Fusu first proposed Qin's law to govern the territory of thousands of miles.

Ying Zheng never thought about this issue.

However, this plan of combining Confucianism and Legalism is definitely not suitable for Qin.

As he spoke, Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows suddenly.

"Is it possible that, to this day, you are still obsessed with the Confucian enfeoffment system?"

Fusu didn't want to avoid this issue anymore.

Because of the vast territory of the world, coupled with transportation restrictions and various factors, the power of the central government cannot reach the local areas. At this time, the local areas are not only prone to riots, but also extremely easy to be exploited by some people with ulterior motives.

Centralization of power does have the indescribable benefit of consolidating resources across the country and facilitating collective action.

But the feasibility of centralization is only effective when local powers are completely controlled by central powers.

Otherwise, such centralized power will be an empty set.

Why did Qin fall so quickly?

It is because the name of the region belongs to the emperor alone, but he does not have a strong way to control every inch of the land.

Transportation and the dissemination of information are both the pillars of the empire, and they are both related to the delegation of power.

"Can your father, the emperor, be able to control all the land thousands of miles away in the world by himself?"

When Ying Zheng heard this, he was slightly startled.

"As the Son of Heaven, I naturally have to rule by myself."

Fusu asked again.

"There are 36 counties in the world, hundreds of counties, and 4000 million people. How can the king and father rule them all?"

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows.

"Do you think that I alone cannot rule the world?"

"I heard that my father's daily comments and responses amounted to 120 kilograms. Everything in the world is determined by my father. However, the world is so big and the people are so large, and it is the beginning of unification. Therefore, I think that if all the affairs of the world are recorded, On top of the memorial, how can it be only 120 pounds?"

Fu Su asked Ying Zheng a serious question in a loud voice.

When Ying Zheng heard this, his body remained stiff, but his face began to twitch slightly.Ying Zheng frowned.

Fusu himself knew that what he said was actually very low level.Completely looking like someone who has not only never eaten pork, but also has never seen a pig run away.

Ying Zheng's face was stiff, and his heart was even more severely hit.

"As the crown prince of a country, and in order to govern the history of the country, I actually spoke like this? As the prince of a country, how can I know everything in the world in detail? Under me, there are county guards, and the county guards There is also a county magistrate below. Step by step, Hu Hai, a nine-year-old boy, still knows this truth, but you will soon be crowned, but you show such ignorance about important affairs of the government."

Faced with Ying Zheng's questioning again.

Fusu just said.

"Your Majesty, this is not what I meant. I thought that your Majesty did not distinguish between day and night, reviewing memorials day and night, and all the affairs of the world were presented in front of Your Majesty. But this move is actually a small gain at the expense of a big gain."

Ying Zheng was naturally puzzled after hearing this.

Ying Zheng narrowed his narrow eyes, revealing two tiny slits.

"Small means losing big? Tell me carefully. I would like to know what you have to say."

There was a lot of warning in Ying Zheng's words.

What Fusu and Yingzheng are discussing today seems to be about the differences between Confucianism and Legalism, but in fact they are still discussing the ideological essence of Confucianism and Legalism.

Legalism is actually a form of authoritarian centralism.

Behind Confucianism is naturally the feudal system based on the patriarchal system.

Fu Su hangs his head.

"I'm being outrageous. I don't have any high opinions. I just think about the country and the country of Qin. I think that if the emperor and his father focus on helping the governors to deal with government affairs, they will not control the governors. , If things go on like this, I would like to ask, what is the difference between Qin's system of prefectures and counties and Zhou's system of enfeoffment?"

"The governors of Qin and the princes of Zhou can all establish themselves as kings due to geographical convenience. But what can the king and father do about it?"

Ying Zheng was naturally confused after hearing this.

Qin's system of prefectures and counties and Zhou's system of enfeoffment, because transportation has not changed, then the system of prefectures and counties will likely become a enfeoffment system.

Fusu had discussed this principle with Ying Zheng before.

Naturally, Ying Zheng has not forgotten this theory.

Seeing Ying Zheng's blank expression, Fu Su felt refreshed.

This is where Fusu thinks he is better than everyone else.

He came here in 2000, and he has in his mind not only the history of 2000, but also countless political essences.

And people like Ying Zheng and Li Si are facing an empire with unprecedented territory.

They are excited, but at the same time, they are also confused and ignorant.

They even rashly adopted Qin's system of prefectures and counties throughout the world.

Li Si moved the system of the Zhou Dynasty over, and it seems that it has done a lot in the history books, but in fact, someone else can do it.

As for Ying Zheng, he himself also engages in superstitious thinking.

What can I say, Qin belongs to the virtue of water, while Zhou belongs to the virtue of fire.

Qin Shihuang promoted this principle based on the art of yin and yang of the Five Elements, and told the world that Qin had inherited Zhou's mission.

Whether the Five Elements Yin and Yang is useful or not, its effect is obvious.

Ying Zheng was sitting on the throne. At this moment, he was naturally worried and wary of the generals and county guards sent out.

According to Fusu's meaning, I really lost the big because of the small.

Everything in the world is brought before my eyes by the governor, and I can decide it alone.

However, I only regarded these county guards as ministers and did not pay much attention to them.

Ying Zheng's brows were so furrowed that they almost broke.

But soon, Ying Zheng relaxed his brows again.

"The Sheriff is just a commoner, has no bloodline from aristocratic families, and is born in a humble way. Who in the world dares to settle down?"

Yingzheng’s aristocratic thinking is really...

Fusu's face turned cold naturally.

"Then are nobles born?"

When Ying Zheng heard this, his heart was lifted.

This son is an outlier to our Qin Ying clan, and even more so to all the nobles in the world.

Fusu said hurriedly.

"The minister traced the history of Xia and Zhou, and our Qin Ying family traced the origin of the Zhou Dynasty. After winning the title of emperor, we became vassals, and then we became a great country in the western frontier."

"To get the emperor's favor?"

The history of their Qin Ying clan is indeed as Fusu said.

Although the previous history was not glorious, Ying Zheng had no reason to refute.

And Fu Su's words, "Are nobles born?" came to Ying Zheng's heart again.

After thinking about it for a while, Ying Zheng himself figured it out.

Perhaps, as Fusu said, the governor living in the border area will one day take advantage of the terrain and establish himself as king.

In this way, I will have to be wary of those county guards in the future.

"I understand what you mean."

Fusu was also surprised when he heard this.

Ying Zheng looks so open-minded today.

And he seems to be deliberately accepting advice with an open mind.

Such humility made Fusu a little uncomfortable.

Ying Zheng temporarily put aside his dissatisfaction with Fusu. He was really surprised by the Fusu in front of him.

How he came up with this.

Even Wang Wan may not be aware of this overall situation.

Is it the Xiao He next to him?
Ying Zheng held his head with one hand, his chin covered with thick hair, and his love and curiosity for Fusu flashed in his narrow eyes.

"In my court, there are countless scholars, officials, and ministers, but no one has ever thought of doing this for me."

"As your Majesty's son, I should share the worries of your Majesty and father. In fact, I have always thought that the king's policy of ennobling kings in the border areas is actually the great cause of Qin Qianqiu's unification."

After hearing this, Ying Zheng's eyes flashed with impatience.

(I’m back. There’s nothing big to do next. I’ll work hard to finish the book. I won’t do anything else during the holidays.)
　If in the future, this book is sealed.

　　I have no regrets either.
