At the end of Qin, I became a son of the plane

Chapter 308, System Conflict and Shortcut to the South
The emperor's words made Chen Sheng laugh, and even Zhang Liang could only barely restrain the corners of his mouth from rising.

Zhang Liang didn't even understand that the emperor was obviously not a harsh person, but he always said harsh words. If he said these words in front of Fu Sheng, Fu Sheng might be killed in front of the emperor.

Zhang Liang was a kind man, and he immediately said: "Fu Sheng is a kind gentleman. Even if His Majesty does not like his articles, you should not criticize him so harshly. If your words spread, how will Fu Sheng teach and educate people? How will he gain a foothold?" In the world, and this is disrespectful to Li Si. Although Li Si's character is poor, his knowledge is recognized by everyone in the world. "

Xu Fan stopped smiling when he heard this. People in this era take face very seriously. It is indeed unfriendly to Fu Sheng if these words spread. Xu Fan has been in contact with Fu Shengye several times. He is not pedantic. He is a human being. He was a man of good character, but what he said today was indeed hurtful to Fu Sheng.

Although everyone in the world despises Li Si's character, his status in the academic world is very high and he belongs to the top group. After all, he is a descendant of Xunzi.

So he said to Chen Sheng with a serious face: "You are not allowed to spread what I said today."

"promise!"

Then Xu Fan asked Chen Sheng to read the contents of the Rule of Law Monthly Report from beginning to end.

Xu Fan sighed: "This is the reason why I want to start Dahan Monthly. I want the court to quickly know the public opinion of the people, so that conflicts will not be triggered until they are out of control."

Chen Sheng immediately said: "Brother-in-law, I don't think Brother Cao has done anything wrong. There is no difference between those private profiteers who profit from nothing and those who make loan sharks. The court should punish these people who want to get something for nothing."

"After experiencing this rebellion in Qi, I feel that there should not be too powerful vassal states in the hinterland of the Central Plains. Otherwise, if I want to expand, I will easily become uneasy."

Now when he heard the emperor's words, he suddenly realized that the emperor wanted to smash the old system.

But the people also have their own way of fighting back, which is to make these people's reputations bad for thousands of years.

Next, Xu Fan heard about the female textile workers. Xu Fan could only sigh deeply about such things. If you want to develop industrialization, it is not just about setting up a few factories. It is a set of changes in the entire social system.

The Rule of Law Monthly started with a story about Shangjun, and Chen Sheng immediately spoke for Cao Xing.

And trying to change a person's outlook on life is even harder than killing a person. This is a conflict between the new productive forces and the old system. This can be accomplished only when the old people die of old age and the people of the new era grow up. This kind of change takes a very long time, decades or even hundreds of years.

Soon Chen Sheng found a huge map for Xu Fan, which recorded the 50 counties in the world and the various princes, southern barbarians, and barbarian forces outside the world. What was recorded on the map was the known world of the world's civilization.

Xu Fan said leisurely: "The great Han Dynasty needs a new contention of a hundred schools of thought to break the old shackles of the people of the world."

Xu Fan also doesn't like these rentiers who get something for nothing. They contribute very little to the entire world, and what they are best at is transferring wealth.

Of course, the system issue cannot be solved in a short time. The big man has more urgent problems now.

Zhang Liang had seen this report a long time ago. He also felt that the court should intervene, but he felt that he had no way to start. After all, it was difficult for upright officials to deal with household affairs.

The superiors always say that the people don't understand anything, but they actually know everything. They are borrowing money and pawn shops are ruthlessly exploiting themselves. They know it clearly, but they just have no way.

Xu Fan said fiercely: "If Xiang Yu hadn't rebelled this time, I would have occupied Monan long ago and then gradually digested the desert. But now I have failed."

Xu Fan has seen too many of the ugly faces of these people in later generations. If there are too many of these people, the world will be in turmoil.

Officials are like beasts in clothes, and the people also know that there is nothing they can do against these officials. The only way for the people is to protect themselves.

The current situation in the Han Dynasty is that the scale of the handicraft industry has increased, but the three views in people's minds have not changed, and the social system has not changed with it.

Don't you gentlemen should reflect on why the people help the enemy?

Xu Fan said to Chen Sheng: "Go get a map of the world."

"promise!"

So don’t always talk about how ignorant the people are when they help the enemy even after they have invaded the capital. The people know clearly what this country has to do with them.

Xu Fan said: "Cao Xing's idea is good, but the method he chose is too crude, and he needs to learn more. After all, handling government affairs is not leading troops to fight."

Xu Fan had just defeated Xiang Yu and immediately began to pay attention to Mao Dun.

As a result, in just these three months, the situation in the grassland has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Maodun was worthy of being the 'First Emperor' of the grassland. After the truce with the Han Dynasty, he did not recuperate. Instead, he used the weapons, equipment and tactics he learned from the Han Dynasty to quickly sweep away the Dingling people, Fuyu people, and Xianbei people in Mobei. Instead of the Wuheng people approaching the Han Dynasty and receiving Lu Chen's protection, I'm afraid that the newly born Wuheng people would be swept away by the Huns.

While Mao Dun stabilized his rear, he quickly restored the strength of the Huns with the tribes of Dingling, Fuyu, and Xianbei people, and even the territory of the Huns increased a lot.

But after the experience of fighting the Han army last time, Mao Dun understood that the current Huns were far from the Han's opponents. When the Han Dynasty resolves its internal crisis, the Han army will surely attack the grassland again.

Mao Dun is very sure about this, because the Han stronghold in Monan has not withdrawn at all. There are many small tribes in the desert who have taken refuge in these Han strongholds, hoping to obtain these rich pastures.

The Han people also accepted all comers, and not only accepted them, but also helped these tribes build Han-like cities, changed the nomadic habits of these tribes, and wanted to turn them into Han people.

This was the most frightening thing for Moton. For thousands of years, the Central Plains Dynasty had never established a stronghold or city on the grassland, let alone actively managed tribes. For the Central Plains Dynasty, land that could not be farmed was useless land. And this is also the last retreat for all grassland peoples. Even if they retreat from the Central Plains, they still have the desert as a retreat.

But now the Han people want to settle in the grasslands, want to corral the herdsmen, and take away the last homes of the grassland peoples. This made Modu understand that the Han people were completely different from the previous Central Plains countries, and they would also invade the desert.

In order to protect himself, Mao Dun found an alliance with the Dayue people.

The Dayuezhi people here were defeated by Jibu one after another, losing the Hehuang area and a small part of the Hexi area.

The coalition of Han princes headed by Ji Bu built more than a dozen cities on the territory of the Dayuezhi people, and annexed a quarter of the territory and a fifth of the population of the Dayuezhi people. Now Ji Bu's name belongs to the level of the Great Demon King in Da Yuezhi, not to mention that there is Emperor Han behind this terrifying Great Demon King.

With the idea of ​​​​running away if they can't be beaten, the Dayue clan people all had the idea of ​​​​migrating westward, and now Mao Dun came to the door and wanted to form an alliance, and the King of the Dayue clan also wanted to find an ally to jointly deal with the big men behind Ji Bu and Ji Xin.

The two parties hit it off immediately, and Mao Dun married the daughter of King Dayuezhi as his Yan family, and the two parties agreed to jointly resist the Han people.

As soon as the big man stimulated, the forces in the grassland were rapidly integrating. Although the desert has not yet been unified into one force, it is no longer as fragmented as it was a year ago. Now the Han wants to capture the desert more than 10 times more than half a year ago.

Zhang Liang said: "So your Majesty issued an order to extend grace?"

Now the only princes who can still exert a significant influence on the Han Dynasty are Wei. Zhang Liang understood that the only one the emperor had to deal with in this gathering of princes was Wei.

Xu Fan nodded and said: "From now on, the princes in the world will not be divided into outer vassals and inner vassals, but will be divided according to their locations."

"The Kingdom of Wei, the Kingdom of Dai, and the Kingdom of Shanggu all have to be integrated into the vassal system of our Han Dynasty. They will either transfer to the land outside the Han Dynasty, or they will become the Chehou of our Han Dynasty, with fiefdoms but no country. The grace order is the greatest tolerance I give them, and they can give all their vassal states to their heirs."

After destroying Qi, the combined strength of the emperor's other princes was less than one-tenth of the Han Dynasty. Xu Fan didn't want to fight with them, so he directly used overbearing methods to let them make a choice.

Chen Shengxi said: "Your Majesty should have been more domineering a long time ago. This world was brought down by my great Han. Wei Wang Jiu, Dai Wang Xie and others were not saved by our great Han. Their contribution to the destruction of Qin was completely inferior to that of the British." Brother Ji Bu and the others. As a result, they occupy the rich land and have tens of millions of tribesmen, but Brother Ji Bu and his tribe have to work hard to open up the land, and the tribesmen only have tens of thousands. Your majesty is too kind. They should just be thrown into the wilderness."

Although they were both members of the aristocratic system, Chen Sheng never regarded Wei Jiu and Zhao Xie as his own, and the various princes and nobles of the Han Dynasty were also very dissatisfied with Wei Jiu and other princes.

Just like what Chen Sheng said just now, it was obviously them who conquered the world. They believed that Xu Fan was the emperor, but why could people like Wei Jiu continue to be princes and kings? Just because you have a good father. I, a big man, don't care about bloodline. None of the princes of the big Han Dynasty were fought with swords and swords. When the princes and kings of the Han Dynasty found that their hard work was not as good as these people's blood, they would naturally become angry at people like Wei Jiu.

Zhang Liang said: "This matter should be taken slowly. If we are not careful, the Central Plains will be in turmoil again."

Xu Fan said: "The long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. If we don't deal with these princes in the Han Dynasty, how can I, the Han Dynasty, expand the world? These princes in the mainland have already stood on the opposite side of my Han Dynasty, becoming a harmful and useless existence. If they are not willing to follow my Han Dynasty, Rhythm is my big man’s enemy, and I always treat my enemies without mercy.”

Even the theory of friend and foe was expressed, Zhang Liang knew that the emperor had made up his mind. He could only help the emperor to minimize the resistance of the princes in the world.

On November 23, the fourth year of the Han Dynasty, Linzi City.

Although the Han army captured Linzi City, the army did not enter the city. In addition, the Han army did not commit any offense against Linzi Qiu, and the local people soon felt at ease with the Han army. Linzi is as prosperous as ever.

But many changes have quietly taken place in Linzi City. Many outsiders appeared in Linzi's streets, inns, many houses and houses, and these outsiders were all well-educated and educated people.

As long as you communicate with them in depth, you will be surprised to find that among these scholars there are Confucian scholars, Mohists, Legalists, Taoists, and a large number of scholars from hundreds of schools. Since the decline of Jixia Academy, Linzi City has never been so lively.

The reason why Linzi can attract so many scholars from hundreds of schools of thought is also very simple. It is because the princes conference is about to be held in Linzi, and scholars from all over the world, or people who think they have skills, are pouring in in large numbers.

Today, because of the rebellion of King Qi, the Han Dynasty did not even hold the imperial examination. This made many talented people extremely depressed. They could only rush to Linzi City in the hope that their talents would be discovered by the princes of the Han Dynasty, and then they could He rose to great heights and realized his ideals of governing the country.

There are too many opportunities in this era, making scholars all over the world full of hope for their talents. Too many role models tell them that they only lack one opportunity.

Although Xu Fan vigorously purged the powerful aristocrats of the six countries, he also opened up the path for class circulation in the world. Xu Fan could even proudly say: "The Han Dynasty has the smoothest class flow in three thousand years. In this era, raising a commoner general is not a dream. It can be said that it is common for pigs and farm boys to become prefects and magistrates in the Han Dynasty. "

At this moment, a group of knights with banners fluttering swaggered through the main road of Linzi, surprising the people all over the city.

"Whose team is this that dares to drive through the city like this?"

A Linzi citizen said with envy: "The flag says Ji. This should be Duke Ji. Duke Ji is a confidant of the emperor. It is said that he has conquered a large vassal state in Hexi."

"Back then, Duke Ji was just a knight-errant. After following the current emperor, he became the king of vassals in less than ten years."

Looking at Ji Bu who was sitting firmly on the carriage, he said with envy: "A real man should be like this."

At this moment, two scholars suddenly rushed out from the crowd and blocked Ji Bu's carriage.

Ji Bu's personal guard used his halberd to block the two men and said angrily: "This is Ji Guogong's motorcade. You and I are going to die."

But the two of them held up a letter each and said: "Uncle Tian and Meng Shu from Zhao have some suggestions and want to see Duke Ji."

The surrounding Qi people were horrified, "These two people are desperate for their lives. Even the Duke's motorcade dared to intercept them."

But there were also many people who looked like they were just watching the excitement and wanted to see how these two scholars would end up.

Uncle Tian and Meng Shu were also worried.

The two of them did not want to use such extreme means. They were also well-known in Zhao and considered themselves to be outstanding. They were originally dissatisfied with the emperor's transfer of King Zhao to Dai, thinking that the emperor was annexing Zhao. Therefore, neither of them participated in the imperial examinations of the Han Dynasty in the past two years.

But this time, although the families of Uncle Tian and Meng Shu were lucky enough to escape the great purges of the Han Dynasty, their families were afraid and worried that they would not be able to escape the next purges, so they sent their children to Guanzhong to take the imperial examination.

It's a pity that this year because of the rebellion of King Qi, the imperial examination in Guanzhong was suspended. They could only follow other scholars to Linzi to try their luck at the princes conference.

But Uncle Tian and his two men never expected that there were so many scholars who had the same ideas as them. They could see scholars now as long as they walked on the streets of Linzi. It seems that all the scholars from all over the world have come to Linzi City. They don't know whether there are tens of thousands of scholars in Linzi City now or 10 scholars.

At this time, the two of them remembered that although today's emperor is hateful, he is a master and attaches great importance to education. During the period of the First Emperor, he tried his best to crack down on scholars, and the number of scholars in the world decreased sharply.

Since the emperor came to the throne, with the support of land and money, almost every village has a primary school. As long as it is not a particularly poor area, children can read and read. Although it is difficult to see the results of universal education because of its short time, in ten years the number of scholars in the world will skyrocket.

Even now, because of the temptation of the imperial examination, the Han Dynasty still has a large number of self-taught scholars. There are more than 10 times more scholars in the world. The two of them saw that the competition was so fierce, and they couldn't help but feel worried, so they used such extreme methods.

After Ji Bu noticed the situation ahead, he said to his men: "Take the letters in their hands."

"promise!"

Soon Ji Bu got a letter from the two of them. What Uncle Tian wrote was a strategy for dealing with the Hu people. He said that he would build a city in a dangerous place to occupy the territory, and then gradually annex the Hu people's territory. Meng Shu believed that it was necessary to educate the Hu people and transform them into Han people. In this way, the strength of the Han people would be enhanced and the strength of the Hu people would be weakened, thus achieving the effect of defeating the enemy without fighting.

Ji Bu was amused after reading their strategies. The two of them had talents, but had never really dealt with government affairs. They were just scholars, but Ji Bu admired their courage.

"You two get in my carriage. I will ask you carefully."

Uncle Tian and Meng Shu said in surprise: "No."

Then, with the entire Linzi City people's stunned eyes, Uncle Tian and Meng Shu boarded Ji Bu's carriage, and slowly drove into the Qi Palace under everyone's gaze.

"Is this possible?" The whole Linzi City was shocked. He was attracted by Ji Guogong, and he was expected to have a successful career in the future.

"Why didn't you think of such a good idea?" A scholar said angrily, slapping his thigh.

Not only Uncle Tian and the others felt the pressure of competition, but other scholars also felt great pressure when they saw their own kind. There are only a few dozen princes in the world, but there are tens of thousands of scholars here. They understand that it is very difficult to stand out.

But after the example of Uncle Tian, ​​the scholars in Linzi found a shortcut.

So after the princes' motorcade entered Linzi City, several or even a dozen soldiers would immediately block in front of the princes' motorcade.

The lucky ones among these scholars were also put into carriages like Uncle Tian and Meng Shu, but the unlucky ones were thrown directly to the side of the road.

Yingbu directly threw out the scholar, and then scolded: "What nonsense are you writing? You dare to imitate others and write books. You should find a wife and study hard for a few more years."

Yingbu's words made the entire Linzi city burst into laughter. They have seen countless scenes like this. Now the princes from all over the country know about this matter. The probability of success for scholars is very small. They can see several such jokes every day.

Now this has become a feature of Linzi City. Successful scholars are envied by them, while failed scholars are ridiculed by them.
