Da Qin: Rebuked the dissatisfied ministers, held the sword towards the emperor at the beginning

Chapter 45 The essence of the general trend of heaven! 【Four Thousand Character Chapter】

The shadow at the corner of the corridor.

On top of Luanjia.

Ying Zheng recalled that day when Chunyu Yue was alone and remonstrated to restart the enfeoffment system.

Say something from your heart.

If Ying Zheng was still the King of Qin in Guanzhong, Chunyu Yue would never have a chance to speak again, because as long as he mentioned restarting the enfeoffment system... the King of Qin would always have only one attitude: show his head to the public!
however.

After unification.

Yingzheng has changed from the King of Qin to the First Emperor of China, and his mentality has also undergone a slight change.

and so.

When Chunyu Yue presented a series of benefits of restarting the enfeoffment system.

Ying Zheng also felt that what he said did make sense.

In addition, he also thought of the period of Duke Xiao, when Shang Yang could put all the power of the country to reform, and Duke Xiao fully supported it.

But Xiaogong still let the prince Yingsi teach under the old clan in Guanzhong.

and also……

During the political struggle, the Queen Mother of Huayang supported Chang'an Jun Chengyu to seize the throne, but she also left a back-up, arranging for Changping Jun and Changwen Jun to assist him in inheriting the throne!
A mature ruler, sitting in all corners of the country.

The most taboo thing is to act in extremes without leaving any way out...

therefore.

Ying Zheng left Chun Yuyue behind.

As for Fusu worshiping him as a teacher in the future, it was not Yingzheng who agreed to hand-picked him, but Fusu himself chose him first...

Back to this moment.

Ying Zheng was very curious about how Yin Lie would persuade Fusu, as well as Yin Lie's specific views on the county system and enfeoffment system, he wanted to listen carefully.

……

In the middle of the square.

Under Fusu's gaze.

Yin Lie said slowly: "First of all, if you want to realize the smooth transfer of imperial power as much as possible, you should implement the county system in the short term, and definitely not restart the feudal system!"

"And the prefecture-state system means: the prefecture-county system and the enfeoffment system go hand in hand!"

"After two or three generations, when the imperial power is consolidated, we will be able to reduce the feudal clan step by step, and in addition to implement the decree of favor, slowly bring the feudal kingdom back to the central court!"

"But there is no doubt that...as long as the imperial court formally begins to cut down the feudal clan, the feudal kingdom is bound to rebel, and then a big battle is inevitable!"

"If the imperial court wins, the enfeoffment system can be completely abolished, and the prefecture and county system can be implemented independently, bringing the Qin Dynasty into the era of imperial centralization!"

Everything Yin Lie said is actually the historical development of the early Han Dynasty.

On the occasion of the founding of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Bang divided the princes...

Is it really Lao Liu who wants to seal it?
not necessarily!
In Yin Lie's view, Liu Bang has no choice but to start his business under the banner of destroying the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty, so he is doomed to fail to implement the Qin system.

There are also Zhang Ao, Zhang Er, Ying Bu, Zang Tu, Han Xin, Peng Yue, Wu Rui, etc., all waiting for you, old Liu, to seal the world and exchange the promise of rewards for meritorious deeds...

Can you turn your face and deny people on the spot?

Certainly not.

then.

In the early Han Dynasty.

Liu Bang could only choose to name the princes and kings with the surname Liu to restrain the vassal kings from meritorious service and consolidate the center of the court.

on the other hand.

Liu Bang also discovered that the power of Lu's relatives was growing, and he also needed to use Liu's relatives to check and balance his relatives.

The internal operating logic of ancient feudal dynasties was similar.

Yin Lie's historical experience through the change and transition of imperial power in the Han Dynasty, and the lesson of the death of the Great Qin II.

He just put forward the Sixth Fault of the First Emperor in the Book of Admonition: The power status of the Ying clan faction was too severely restricted.

The royal family and nobles who exercise power and violate the law are indeed the source of chaos.

But it's too restrictive.

It's like a speeding train that cannot slow down and stop. Sooner or later it will derail and overturn...

In summary.

The sudden implementation of the county system to Kyushu will inevitably have a negative impact on the undecided minds of the subjects in the early stage.

at this time.

It is necessary to increase the real power and influence of the Ying clan faction to hedge against the risk of traitors in power.

For example, Zhao Gao, who in history referred to a deer as a horse.

As for Hu Hai, the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty, it goes without saying that the first thing he did when he came to power was to massacre all the Ying family members. Such acts of self-destruction have been rare in thousands of years!

Hu Hai definitely deserves the title of the most prodigal son of all time!

At this time.

"The county system..."

Fusu frowned while thinking, he was a little confused now.

Because he came tonight to rebuke Yin Lie.

If he is persuaded, he will feel very sorry for his master Chunyu Yue.

however.

The county system given by Yin Lie is indeed reasonable.

Since the enfeoffment system is beneficial to Qin in the short term, it is harmful to the unification of China in the long term.

Then the county system and the feudal system went hand in hand.

After the most difficult early stage of the transfer of imperial power has passed, the feudal system will be gradually abolished and the independent system of counties and counties will be adopted.

A very simple and clear policy idea.

Even if Fusu wanted to find trouble...he wouldn't be able to find it...

"In fact, it is also possible to directly choose the independent prefecture and county system in the early stage of Qin's unification, but I don't want to extend too much on this issue tonight."

Yin Lie thought for a moment and then said: "Fu Su, since you just used the so-called Supreme Principle to prove the legitimacy of Master Qi's restart of the feudal system, I will let you know what the true nature of the Dao of Heaven is. !”

Fusu: "..."

"Do you mind if I ask you a question?"

Yin Lie was very interested.

Fusu raised his hand and said, "Please write a question."

"My question is very simple. What is the essential driving force for the development of human civilization?"

Yin Liefa asked.

After hearing this, Fusu immediately began to search all the information in the classics in his mind.

After a while.

He said: "I don't know which version of the essential driving force you are referring to, but I know that the development of China started from the barbaric period, then went through the tribal era, the feudal and nation-building era, until the unification of the Qin Dynasty..."

Yin Lie nodded: "Well, that's a good point, let's continue."

Fusu thought for a while and said: "Productivity... the essential driving force for the development of human civilization is the constant change in the means by which we collect food."

"That's right, people depend on food!"

Yin Lie was not surprised by Fusu's answer. After all, he was the eldest son of the empire.

Looking at the current generation of young people of the same age, there is probably not one who is more knowledgeable than Fusu!

Yin Lie does not count...

Strictly speaking, he belongs to two generations.

If we compare him with Fusu, he would definitely bully Fusu...

"In the wild days, men could only catch food through fishing and hunting, while women could do some gathering."

Yin Lie paused, then continued: "So we need to migrate along with the habits of the animals. If we don't hunt enough food, we won't be able to survive the winter."

"It's even crueler. If the winter grain storage is insufficient, you need to kill the old people first and then kill the children. Otherwise, when the prime labor force starves to death... the entire ethnic group will still not be able to continue."

"Survival has always been the biggest obstacle to the development of civilization."

……

Yin Lie began to lay out the essence of the general trend of heaven that he wanted to express from the barbaric era.

Because that's all.

Only then can Fusu realize more clearly... exactly what it means to reverse the course of history!

"Fortunately, we discovered corn later and figured out how to grow it."

Yin Lie continued slowly: "From gathering to planting, our productivity has undergone a fundamental change, which has prompted us to change from a nomadic tribe that is constantly migrating to a farming tribe."

"Then, bronze smelting technology appeared, so bronze farm tools gradually replaced stone farm tools, productivity was further improved, and the population began to grow steadily until the concept of a country was formed."

"As the country grows larger and the population grows, the enfeoffment system, which represents the feudal state and the founding of the country, came into being. The monarch needs to rule the four poles and nine states by enfeoffing the princes!"

"In order to better manage the people under the rule, the well field system was put forward. The people were limited by expensive bronze farm tools, and could not open up wasteland independently, so they could only honestly live on the land of the princes."

"Until...iron smelting technology came out, cheap iron farm tools became popular rapidly..."

……

Before the advent of iron farm tools.

Bronze farm tools are shared among a village.

The princes could use bronze farm tools to eat the people under their rule to death.

Do you dare to run?
If you run away, your whole family will starve to death!
Without farm tools, even if you have grain seeds, there is nothing you can do...

finally.

The common people could only choose to use the farm tools of the princes and plant the land of the princes. When the harvest came, they had to hand over all the grain with the best harvest in the middle of the land.

Those who dare to cheat and cheat.

He will be punished severely!

"When a large number of ordinary people have cheap iron farm tools, they will choose to open up wasteland and plant their own land in private."

Yin Lie organized his language, and continued: "It just so happens that the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period is over, and the chaotic era of the Warring States Period is approaching. Countries continue to engage in arms races. In order to collect more taxes, the princes can only initially admit that the common people own their own private land. .”

"Looking at the Qin State, it is even more straightforward. As long as you gain military merits on the battlefield, you can own your own land, which further promoted the emergence of the private land system."

“Therefore, the well-field system, known as the [Wang Tian System], is destined to begin to collapse uncontrollably.”

"This is the general trend, and manpower cannot reverse it."

……

It was impossible for Da Qin to abolish the military title system and forcibly take back the land of all military classes.

Ying Zheng couldn't do it either.

of course.

It is impossible for Ying Zheng to do this...

As for the forcible ban on iron farm implements.

How to ban?
The military class owns a large amount of private land. Do you dare to restrict them with bronze farm tools?
to be honest.

Raw rice has been cooked into cooked rice.

No one can change it.

"The collapse of the royal land system means that the feudal system will also be unsustainable."

Yin Lie made the final conclusion and explained: "First of all, the emperor does not need to extend his will through the princes. The system of prefectures and counties is a very perfect alternative national policy."

"And the common people cultivate their own private fields, and are no longer restricted by the bronze farming tools of the princes. Of course, they are more willing to pay taxes directly to the emperor. Why do they have to have multiple princes sandwiched in the middle to make the difference?"

"Since the vassal class is no longer needed from top to bottom, then restarting the enfeoffment system alone... is bound to be a reversal of history, a proper act of drinking poison to quench thirst!"

"Fusu, you can't just see the tens of thousands of [three elders] at the grassroots level in Daqin County. Their short-term approval will never compare to the long-term popular aspiration!"

……

The population of the Central Plains is more than [-] million!

By comparison!

That part [Three Elders] is really nothing!
Daqin can implement the prefecture system and make short-term expedient compromises.

It is also possible to implement the system of prefectures and counties in a strong and independent manner, which is nothing more than more risks when the imperial regime changes.

But Yin Lie must have many ways to reduce this risk...

all in all!
Whether it is the county system or the county system!
Da Qin can choose one of them as a national policy!

Only the enfeoffment system cannot be restarted...

"Fusu, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were the final end of the feudal lords!"

Yin Lie made a conclusion and said: "As the eldest son of the empire, is it true that you can't even see this layer clearly? Or is it because of Chunyu Yue's deception that you don't want to see the reality clearly at all!"

"Yin Lie! You..."

Just as Fusu's voice raised, it immediately died down again!

the reason is simple!
Fusu began to realize that Yin Lie was right!

He just mentioned the benefits of restarting the enfeoffment system.

The prefecture-state system includes everything, and in the mid-term, the power can be returned to the central court through the policy of reducing the vassal and the decree of grace.

So from the policy level, there is really no reason to restart the enfeoffment system alone.

From the perspective of the general situation, the emperor and the people no longer need the existence of the princes, the princes will leave the stage, and the royal land system has also collapsed...

In this situation.

Even Fusu couldn't justifiably shout out again, and wanted to restart the enfeoffment system alone.

"Your Excellency, Gao Lun..."

Fusu bowed his hands helplessly, and said with a deep bow: "I have been taught."

Yin Lie smiled and said: "The eldest son is really a reasonable (proper) person."

Fusu: "..."

Fusu's excessive reasoning and etiquette are both his strengths and weaknesses.

But if we only talk about getting along among friends.

Yin Lie is indeed quite optimistic about the other party.

"Do not worry."

Yin Lie said without hesitation: "Your father will not let you lose your political foundation again. The new 72 Doctors will soon be full again when Taishan is enshrined in Zen. I hereby recommend one person to you. ..."

"Who?"

Fu Su was puzzled. With Yin Lie's lunatic character, it was hard for him to imagine that the latter would recommend a Confucian who he had never met before.

"His name is Shusuntong, maybe his reputation is not obvious at the moment."

Yin Lie said in a deep voice: "But I risk my life, this man has great talent, he can shoot for the new doctor's servant!"

"I have taken note of what you...sir said."

Fusu cupped his hands again to salute, then he clenched his fist and said, "No matter what, I will do my best to save my master's life."

Fusu attaches great importance to the master-disciple relationship with Chun Yuyue.

After all, there have been various estrangements between him and his father since he was a child...

This resulted in Fusu's emotional focus basically being placed on Chun Yuyue.

Be a teacher for one day, and be a father for life.

Chunyu Yue also had nothing to say to Fusu.

Yin Lie cupped his hands in return: "Then I wish the eldest son good luck."

that's it.

Fusu turned and left.

Yin Lie thought in his heart...Even if there was no solid evidence, it would be difficult for Chun Yuyue to save his life this time.

Because what Yingzheng hates the most is betrayal and eating inside and out!
Chun Yuyue held Da Qin's bowl, but wanted to smash Da Qin's pot...

Han Fei's fate in the past was Chunyu Yue's fate.

Sudden.

in the bright moonlight.

The First Emperor's Luanjia slowly came to the center of the square.

Yin Lie said as usual: "See your Majesty."

The voice did not fall.

"What a [prefecture system]!"

Ying Zheng said condescendingly: "Yin Lie... you have once again proposed a very feasible top national policy for Great Qin, which makes me unable to bear to kill you!"

Yin Lie: "..."
