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

Chapter 80 The First Emperor: The one who knows me is Qin Qing! !

"[Royal Examination System]..."

Ying Zheng thought about it as the name suggests, and then he found that he could not immediately understand Yin Lie's meaning.

then.

He took the initiative to ask again: "Qin Qing, what is the specific test method?"

Stop talking.

The audience was silent.

Right Prime Minister Wang Wan also stared at Yin Lie seriously, wanting to see what unexpected plan the latter could come up with.

"Report to Your Majesty."

Yin Lie organized his words and said: "In the past, Duke Xiao established the Talent Recruitment Hall to seek talents from all over the world and tested them with hundreds of schools of thought!"

"Nowadays, the world has changed, the nine states have been unified, and all the talents in the world have come to your Majesty's disposal!"

"Then the [examination system] for you gentlemen naturally cannot be limited to hundreds of schools of learning!"

……

Yin Lie believes that the quality of the imperial princes must be improved.

Young masters can choose to specialize in one direction.

But for the rest of the basic common sense, you need to know some of it.

As for the final advanced subject examination.

Yin Lie plans to bring out the rules for postgraduate studies in later generations...

"For example: Young masters can try to participate in the research on two-season rice and wheat planting technology in agriculture. If you perform well during this period, it will be counted as part of your examination results."

Yin Lie believes that agriculture has always been the foundation of the country.

The military power, financial power and political power of the young master who will be divided into vassal states in the future will be restricted.

So how do you get good performance?
simple!
Take the lead in agricultural construction!
"There are three dragon veins in the Central Plains: one is the river, the second is the river, and the third is the Great Wall!"

Yin Lie thought for a moment and then continued: "The river is also called the Yellow River, and the river is also called the Yangtze River. One is turbid and the other is clear, but they can irrigate the fields on both sides!"

"Therefore, agricultural reclamation in the future must be the long-term national policy of the Qin Dynasty."

"Of course, it is certainly impossible for a dignified prince of the empire, the Duke of Fanping, who is nominally the same as the third prince, to go down to dig the soil in person."

"What I mean is that with outstanding performance in agriculture, a prince who is assigned to a vassal near the Yellow River or the Yangtze River can nominally take the lead in reclamation and land reclamation, and have the right to participate in and supervise local agricultural affairs."

"Then the performance review will be carried out according to Da Qin's own [Accounting Examination System]. If the land reclaimed for agriculture achieves a certain amount of positive growth every year, based on the specific performance, the Duke of Fanping will be rewarded with a corresponding food fief!"

……

Daqin officials had their own examination system for financial review.

Yin Lie's royal title examination system was founded on this basis.

After all, this era talks about imperial examinations...

No one knew what the imperial examination was.

But taking the exams, taking exams for the royal family...

Clear at a glance!
Also!

Yin Lie also discovered that the corvée and land distribution plan he proposed before could not be divided into several rounds.

Because the number of corvees in the Qin Dynasty ranged from tens to 10!
No matter how massive the land expropriated from the Central Plains scholar class was, it would not be able to sustain the 30-year recycling cycle.

That is to say: people can obtain land use rights after three years of corvee service, and then successfully turn the land into their own private fields through proficiency in two-crop rice and wheat planting techniques.

However, this private land can still only be cultivated for 30 years at most, and the court must take back the reward and re-confer it in order to continue to implement the national policy of corvee and land distribution.

Three years of corvee service and 30 years of private land use.

That’s ten rotations…

According to the Qin law standard of one man supporting five people per household, Yin Lie believed that the cultivated land allocated through corvee service could not exceed a hundred acres at most!
The Central Plains has a population of nearly 2000 million, with a total of more than [-] million households.

The total required land is exactly more than three million hectares, because one hectare is equal to one hundred acres of land.

The famous Zheng Guo Canal only irrigated [-] hectares of land...

As for Yin Lie's example of a household with [-] acres of land, it follows the standard points of the Shang and Zhou well-field systems. For the military class in the pre-Qin period, each household must have far more than [-] acres of land!

For example, a first-class sergeant would be rewarded with [-] hectares of land, plus [-] hectares of land [a homestead of fifteen feet square].

In summary!

The Yellow River and Yangtze River in the Central Plains must be reclaimed and used, otherwise Yin Lie's corvee-cum-land distribution plan will last for at most ten years and will be unsustainable.

Good thing...

Yin Lie's system was not thought up out of thin air!

But there are foreshadowings and connections between systems!

After all, only in this way can a complete [national policy] be considered!
Followed by.

"Except for agriculture, Qin Fa is the best in the Qin Dynasty!"

Yin Lie said thoughtfully: "As for the improvement of the law, all the young masters must also devote themselves to studying and participating in it. It will also be counted as a test result."

"If you have excellent legal performance and are entrusted to the outside world, you can have the power to inspect, resolve cases, judge, supervise, and find ways to popularize the law in the local area!"

"For example, the emperor issued the [Qin Code of Laws], forcing every household to purchase and offer the [Qin Code of Laws] even if they were illiterate. From then on, they continued to familiarize themselves with Qin law!"

"If you encounter any grievances, you can rely on the [Qin Lu Da Gao] to prove and pass it on. Go straight to Xianyang, the imperial capital. Anyone who dares to block it... the Yi tribe!"

……

The [Great Imperial Examination System] created by Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, is still very useful.

At the very least, it can curb unjust, false and wrongful convictions to a certain extent.

And it will have a deterrent effect on corrupt officials.

So naturally the publicity and promotion of the [Qin Law Edict] must be taken care of by Duke Fanping, who has outstanding legal achievements!
The prince personally took the lead...

Who among the local county officials would dare not cooperate?

No more brains?
"The first is land reclamation, the second is the popularization of laws...the third is engineering mechanics!"

As a time traveler, Yin Lie is very aware of the importance of scientific breakthroughs.

And science in the pre-Qin period...

To put it bluntly, they are two groups of top talents from the Mo family and the Gongshu family!
but……

According to the class divisions of scholars, farmers, workers and merchants.

Work is slightly better than business.

Not very popular.

Unless you really achieve the level of a top-notch ink artist.

As for farmers... In the pre-Qin period, if you could farm, you were equivalent to being a high-tech blue-collar worker in later generations, with a way to make a living!
Needless to say, Shi!

For 5000 years, China has always been official-based!

No matter how rich you are, you can't compare to those with power!

"When it comes to engineering, mechanics, and other matters, you can't avoid the Mo family and the Gongshu family."

Yin Lie said with his hands behind his back: "Among them, the Gongshu family's overbearing machine skills are mostly used in the military, while the Mohist family's machine skills are good at construction... Today we only talk about construction, not military affairs!"

"If you gentlemen are very talented in the Mohist machine arts, you can also try to learn them, and pass the final test to seal the vassal."

"For example, I have a method of making cement. By burning limestone, clay, or iron ore, I can use cement to speed up the construction of roads, or assist in the casting of the Great Wall."

"Similarly, the corresponding Duke Fanping can use his own optimized cement technology solution to take the lead in accelerating the construction of Chidao or the Great Wall, and use this to obtain food for his political achievements!"

……

There is only one reason why Yin Lie did not discuss martial arts.

It is very risky for the Duke of Fanping to control the military.

If Zhu Di was placed in the position of Fusu in history...

no doubt!

Zhu Di will definitely lead the Great Wall Legion directly to the gates of Xianyang City and argue with his eighteenth brother!
Yin Lie must not bet on human nature.

For the stable development of the empire...

We must do everything we can to prevent civil war!
If you don’t see this, the Ming Dynasty will also be severely damaged in the battle of Jingnan!
Also.

Yin Lie moved out of cement craft manufacturing...

And Daqin already possesses pig iron smelting technology, which means that the temperature of the smelting furnace can reach over a thousand degrees!

With this prerequisite!

The limestone can then be burned and it is expected to be made into cement.

However, Yin Lie didn't want to worry about the specific details. Anyway, he only provided a creative direction.

Just let the Imperial Prince take the lead in the exploration!

"Fourth: I think the Feng Shui, music and dance, sacrifices, weddings and funerals, and astrology and celestial phenomena of the Yin and Yang family can also form a separate subject!"

Yin Lie said slowly: "Since the Confucian patriarchal legal system and sacrificial rituals are too deeply rooted in the Central Plains, it is best to have young masters who are interested in the Yin and Yang family in terms of Feng Shui, music and dance, sacrifices, weddings and funerals, and astrology. learning success!"

"And with his excellent results, he was divided into vassals and spread abroad, and then he was responsible for taking the lead in broadcasting and popularizing various customs and events of the Yin and Yang family!"

"As for the specific performance assessment criteria...the Yin Yang family sends elders to inspect and collect statistics. In recent years, the local area has chosen the Yin Yang family's rituals for sacrifices, as well as the number of weddings and funerals."

……finally.

Yin Lie temporarily gave four special subjects.

Finally, he opened a subject specifically for the Yin and Yang family. He knew that it would definitely get people talking, but he still wanted to mention it!
Do not shy away from relatives!
Since the etiquette of the Yin Yang family is indeed useful, it naturally needs to be vigorously popularized.

Lest Confucianism become too powerful and completely overshadow the other schools of thought.

"correct!"

Yin Lie suddenly slapped his forehead and added: "Your Majesty, I also have a [secret folding system], which allows local officials or the Duke of Fanping to secretly submit memorials and suggestions through a dedicated road!"

"No matter whether the local officials went too far, or the Duke of Fanping did nothing, and the supervisory censor had to pay for things, etc., they can all be sent directly to the emperor's case through a secret code!"

"In this way, multiple parties can check and balance each other, which is the way to achieve long-term peace and stability in the empire!"

……

The secret folding system was pioneered by the Manchu and Qing dynasties.

Starting from the Kangxi period, it was continuously improved during the Yongzheng period.

The best thing about this system is that...

It is no longer possible for multiple local forces to unite sincerely!

Because you never know whether the people around you will secretly hand it over to the capital and sell you directly!

It's like the law of the dark forest!
An artificial chain of suspicion was created among local officials!

in this way!

The emperor will not be easily deceived by those below him, and he will be able to secure his position better...

suddenly!

"color!!"

Ying Zheng shouted in a low voice: "Qin Qing is really my lover!"

The way the First Emperor looked at Yin Lie now was like seeing a big treasure that was rarely seen in this world!

"Agriculture represents the farmers, Qin Fa represents the Legalists, engineering represents the Mohists, and Yin-Yang customs represent the Yin-Yang family!"

Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "I think Qin Qing's general pattern is reflected in... you did not blindly reject the advice put forward by the right prime minister, but applied the [royal title examination system] to the [fanping system] superior!"

"At the same time, four subjects were specifically selected from hundreds of schools of learning!"

“First, agronomy is combined with the national policy of reclaiming the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, and it has once again established the feasibility of the [Corvee and Land Distribution Plan]... a continuous cycle!”

"Second, regarding all matters related to Qin law, Qin Qing created the [Qin Law Dagao System], which not only ensured the popularity of the law, but also gave the people at the bottom a way to redress their grievances!"

"Third, regarding the construction of Chidao and the casting of the Great Wall, Qin Qing gave the [cement manufacturing process] in terms of Moji construction. I am very looking forward to whether Qin Qing's technology can significantly shorten the construction period of Chidao and the Great Wall!"

"Fourth, the theory of yin and yang customs has been popularized in everything, which corresponds to Qin Qing's previous advice: [Destiny's plan of separation of three powers], I think it is also feasible. Our Da Qin does not need a dominant family in terms of culture!"

"What I want is for a hundred schools of thought to contend and a hundred flowers to bloom. Just as Qin Qing said before: the destiny of Tao, the enlightenment of Confucianism, the rule of law, the military and military, the construction of industry, the celestial phenomena of yin and yang, and even economic reform and opening up as the core The prosperity of business!"

……

The First Emperor did not hesitate at all this time!

He immediately stood up and supported Yin Lie's various suggestions and measures!

no way!
Although the First Emperor did not specifically praise the [Secret Folding System] mentioned by Yin Lie just now...

But the [secret discount system] definitely hit the heart of the First Emperor!

In fact, the First Emperor has always had a problem that he was at a loss for!

That is to say: The Qin Dynasty encompassed the vastness of the Nine Provinces, and it was indeed extremely vast!

But it also makes the difficulty of rule increase exponentially...

The First Emperor's previous plan was to frequently patrol the east, using his majesty to forcibly shock the hearts of the people of the six countries, old and young, and at the same time make the Qin officials everywhere more practical!
result!

Now Yin Lie gave out the [secret discount system] with a snap!
With the political height of the First Emperor, he naturally understood the true meaning of the "Secret System" in an instant. Many parties were suspicious of each other in order to achieve the smooth operation of local administration!

This [secret discount system]...

Ying Zheng believes that it has definitely achieved the finishing touch of Yin Lie's second public discussion!
The second is the [Qin Law and Imperial Examination System]!
Ying Zheng is very obsessed with popularizing Qin law!

As soon as Yin Lie's [Qin Law Great Patent System] came out, Ying Zheng immediately felt...

The one who knows me is Qin Qing!
And things like reclaiming the Yellow River and the Yangtze River.

Ying Zheng just wanted to say that it was never that simple.

The Yangtze River is a little easier to say... Yellow River floods occur almost every few years!
If we can’t solve the problem of flooding!
The proposal to reclaim the two dragon veins of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River is out of the question.

but.

For this little flaw.

Ying Zheng didn't point it out immediately, but he still praised Yin Lie vigorously!
Because the surprise Yin Lie gave him this time was really, really big!

in the field.

"Thank you for your compliment, Your Majesty!"

Yin Lie bowed his hands.

opposite.

Right Prime Minister Wang Wan struggled a little, but did not stand up to criticize Yin Lie's [Seal Examination Rules]!
He also knew about the flooding problem in the Yellow River!
Whether the Duke of Fanping must take the lead in popularizing the Onmyoji customs and theories is actually open to question!

But just now, the First Emperor had already stood up and expressed his stance...

This sets the tone!
Right Prime Minister Wang Wan can't just look for faults with his eyes closed, otherwise he will disgrace the emperor!
Furthermore.

Yin Lie's [Royal Family Examination System] is based on his [Fan Ping System].

As such.

Wang Wan felt that even if he was slightly inferior in the second public discussion, he would not lose as ugly as Guo Wei.

of course.

Wang Wan must still be a little dissatisfied in his heart.

He is a majestic right minister, one of the three princes, and the leader of the Guanzhong Xungui faction!
He previously thought that his match against Yin Lie would be a draw at best.

You're a talented boy!
The real appearance is not bad either!

No matter what!

Now Wang Wan went through Yin Lie's [Details of the Four Subjects of the Royal Family Examination] again.

immediately.

"Hey!"

Wang Wan could not help but sigh softly!

He has to admit it!

Yin Lie's talent... is indeed slightly higher than him!

At this time.

"Your Majesty, gentlemen!"

Yin Lie raised his hand and saw a thin object appear out of thin air instantly.

He said: "In order to support the implementation of the [Royal Family Examination System], I plan to promote [Xuan Paper] as a product for the Royal Family to obtain imperial titles!"

Yin Lie had to take out the rice paper.

Because I want to transition the [Royal Examination System] to the [Imperial Examination System]!
There must be a premise that cannot be bypassed!
That is [Education Sinking]...

That is: replacing expensive bamboo slips with relatively cheap rice paper until all people in Kyushu have the opportunity to receive education.

but!
Yin Lie understands...

Rice paper touches a huge number of interest groups!
Just now, the First Emperor took the lead in praising him, setting the tone for the second public debate.

But as long as he takes out the rice paper!

It will inevitably need to face a comprehensive resistance from the military and military factions, the Confucian faction, including the Guanzhong faction!
The military and military elite faction needs to uphold Shang Jun's method: no military merit, no learning!
They sacrificed their lives and blood on the battlefield in exchange for the opportunity for their children to learn!
Naturally, they have to stand up and consolidate their immediate benefits even if they risk their lives!
Confucianism...

Master Yasheng Xun was a very open-minded person, and he never looked at his status when accepting disciples.

Otherwise, Li Si would not be qualified to be a disciple of Ya Sheng.

The problem is that.

Several great Confucian scholars of Xunzi's school absolutely could not accept the indiscriminate spread of the teachings of the Spring and Autumn Sages. This was an act that trampled on Confucian etiquette and was a great disrespect for the Spring and Autumn Sages.

The great scholar from Jixia Academy must stand up and speak.

At last!
The Guanzhong Xungui faction has no ideological disputes.

Every one of their families is well-educated!

note!

The "Xue Fu Wu Che" here refers to the family wealth of Guanzhong Xungui...

Once cheap rice paper replaced expensive bamboo slips.

Then the assets of the Guanzhong Xungui faction are bound to face a significant shrinkage!
Destroy people and money!

It's like killing your parents!
therefore!

The moment Yin Lie took out the rice paper, he was already ready... to face the storm! !
