Qin Dynasty Novelist

The outer area of ​​Wenxin Academy is a self-contained commercial area, and restaurants are built on the ground. The reasons for the construction of different owners are different, and the styles are also very different. Each is full of the cultural customs of the country where it is located.

"Since Xiaogong, only the state of Qin can see such a scene."

"Xuanqing once collected books in the court. In the past, Duke Xiao sent orders to the countries in Shandong to seek meritorious deeds. When the Lord Shang heard about it, he sighed and said: Duke Qin has a universal mind, and the king of Qin is small in the world!"

"Now the Qin State has gone through six generations and seven monarchs, dominating the Xias, and the world is just around the corner!"

The Yingqin clan has always lived in the western frontier. When King Ping moved eastward, it was convenient to obtain the Hexi land and sit in the middle of the pass. However, he was still bullied by the Wei state again and again.

Even so, Qin is still a big country far away from the Central Plains. Although it has a vast territory, it is far inferior to the Shandong countries in terms of customs, culture and civilization, from the foundation to the form. It is also the view of the old Qin people.

A hundred years ago, when the Shang monarch reformed the law, the foundation of the rule of law was that the country had no special customs, civil affairs were heavy, farming and warfare were the foundation, and there was no distraction!With such a strategy, although the Qin State is strong, its civilization is not outstanding, so it has been called the country of tigers and wolves by the Kanto countries for a hundred years, and it will no longer be a country of virtue.

All the reforms are for the purpose of enriching the country and strengthening the army. The so-called etiquette of poetry and books, the establishment of schools and the writing of books are strictly controlled.

The rule of law of the Shang monarch not only forbids all the pompous behaviors of the old Qin, but also prevents the pompous customs of the Kanto countries from intruding on the Qin people!However, until the reign of King Qin Zhao, the state of Qin had expanded into a large country with five square kilometers, but all kinds of civilizations were still quite sparse, and none of the great civilizational events in the world took place in the state of Qin.

On the contrary, the countries in the Kanto region are prosperous, prosperous and full of vitality. However, in the eyes of the old Qin people, everything is slick and useless, and they can neither obtain titles nor eat enough.

But among all kinds, there is one thing that is appreciated by the talented people of the Kanto countries, that is, within the Qin court, foreign ministers can hold high positions by virtue of their ability, whether it is the Shang Lord at the beginning, or the later Zhang Yi, Gan Mao, Meng Changjun, Sima Cuo, Lord Huayang, Lord Yangquan, Fan Ju, Wei Ran, Cai Ze, Lu Buwei...

This kind of power and honor is impossible for any of the Kanto countries. The Kanto countries abide by the patriarchal system, and it is difficult for non-princes and nobles to reach the supreme position. Even if they reach the supreme position, they will soon go down.

The Order of Seeking Talents written by Duke Xiao has been hanging high in the Hall of Seeking Talents in Xianyang City. Once a half-agricultural and half-pastoral tribe that has lived in the western border for hundreds of years, once it rises, it has such a boldness.

Throughout the century-old government of the Qin State, the government and the opposition have never felt that there is anything abnormal, let alone unreasonable fear and suspicion.Although the old Qin people sometimes cursed foreign ministers for a while because they were dissatisfied with something or someone, they never caused a wave of suspicion.

This is the State of Qin, a place where the world's talented and talented people can't give up their ambitions.

"Kuang princes, one day is easy!"

"But governing the world is difficult. A few years ago, Wen Xin waited for the words of the widow to set up a school in Qin State, open up the freedom of speech of the Qin people, and open up private schools. The widow agrees."

"The state of Qin is located in the western region. Although its territory is vast now, its core is still in Guanzhong. Its civilization is not as rich as that of the other countries in Shandong. For hundreds of years, all schools of thought have been against Qin. Naturally, I know the reason, but they are It's getting worse!"

Regarding Zhou Qing's words, Qin Wangzheng nodded in agreement and quite agreed. He rode a horse on the wide street outside the Wenxinxue Palace.

Speaking loudly and sighing endlessly, it is naturally good to set up a school and a private school, and Wang Wan, who has already gone to Shu County to implement the master's plan, also wrote a letter, so that the people of Qin really understand the legal system and Qin Feng.

Hundreds of schools are against Qin, one reason is that hundreds of years ago, the Qin State was barren and turbulent, and the people were like wild animals, unbearable to be taught. Except for Taoism, Confucianism, Mohism, Legalism and other talented scholars who left traces, the other hundred schools did not leave any traces. Down.

In addition, since the reform of the Shang Dynasty a hundred years ago, the strict control of the hundred schools and the way of legalism have been followed, and the rest of the schools have no way to survive, especially the suppression of the knight-errants, which makes the hundreds of schools jealous.

In this way, within the state of Qin, no one of the hundreds of schools of thought was born, whether it was the famous Confucianism, Mohism, or Taoism, or the military family, famous family, Yi family, Yin Yang family, Ji Ran family, farm family, doctor family, and Shui family. , Alchemists, Gemologists, Yingguo, Gongjia, Lejia, etc. There are countless!

If there was a world of great contention, Qin Wangzheng would not care about it, but now, if the world of great contention does not exist, something else should be added to the rule of law of the Qin State. This is discussed in the article written by Han Fei .

"It is naturally good to set up a school and a private school. Of course, everything must be developed within a controllable range. Although the schools in the Kanto countries are very popular, especially the Jixia School, the courtiers of the Qi Kingdom for a hundred years , there are very few people who come out of Jixia Academy."

"Even Xiaoshengxianzhuang is only a place for Confucian scholars to study, and very few people have entered the court as officials. According to the words of "Five Beetles", Confucianism violates the law with literature, and chivalry with martial arts violates the ban!"

It is close to the gate of Wenxin Xuegong. It is said that it is in front of the gate. In fact, there is no gate. It is just an entrance like an archway. There are several soldiers holding spears standing on both sides. Even so, they don't pay much attention to the people who enter and exit. , Come in and out at will, whether it is a traveling scholar or a merchant or a commoner.

Responding to King Qin's political words again, the three got off their horses and handed it over to the envoys accompanying them. Without hesitation, they entered the academy hand in hand, and saw scholars in brocade robes holding papers in their hands. Quality classics come and go in a hurry, although there are also books on bamboo slips, it seems that there are not many.

"Hahaha, Wen Xinhou is indeed a big writer. As far as I know, the classics sold by the master are worth a lot of money. Each book is worth tens of gold, but hundreds of gold."

"In the Wenxin Academy, there are so many paper books, there are so many scholars, and there are three thousand diners under Wen Xinhou's sect. As expected, I just don't know if any of these diners are enemies of Qin!"

Qin Wangzheng is already quite displeased with the practice of retainers. For the past ten years, relying on his retainers, Wen Xinhou's lineage has dominated the important official positions of the Qin court. Caused himself no small trouble.

Whispering casually, walking into the Wenxin Academy, compared to the hustle and bustle of the outside world, the environment here is very solemn, and no one around has noticed the arrival of the three of Zhou Qing.

The swaying willow forest and the blue lake divide this school around Lanchi into five sections. Along the road, they are: Mingfa Pavilion, Liulun Pavilion, Balan Pavilion, Twelve Seasons Pavilion, and Tianzhu Hall .

Each area is a large courtyard, and the green pools circle around the hills and willows. It is pleasing to the eye and quiet everywhere. It is even more pleasant than Xianyang Wangcheng. It can be seen that the people who designed it at the beginning are good.

"It's a good place, but Wen Xinhou knows how to enjoy it!"

Qin Wangzheng admired as he walked, his face was like a crown of jade, and he couldn't see any major changes. After walking for a week, it was only in the outer area. There were already hundreds of scholars inside, and everyone had their own discussions and discussions. .

"Looking at its name, the origin of the area should be based on the index of "Lu Shi Chunqiu"."

Dressed in a light gray long robe, holding a long sword, with soft hair hanging down his shoulders, Guigu Gai Nie gave a little praise when he looked around for a week. place.

While talking, I came to a courtyard on the southernmost bank of Lanchi. In front of the Sanzhang Stone Square, there was a large white jade stele, with three large copper characters inlaid in the center - Tianzhutang.Entering Shifang, you can hear the sound of commotion coming from the courtyard deep in the willow forest. The three people seem to be interested, and they speed up their steps to follow the sound.

Sure enough, they saw colorful crowds in the natural valley in front of a wooden building. The three of Qin Wangzheng stood outside, scanning everything with shining eyes. On the high platform surrounded by hundreds of people, a familiar figure stood on it.

"Look, Gang Cheng-jun has spoken!"

Qin Wangzheng was very interested, he glanced left and right at Guigu Gai Nie and Zhou Qing, and put his hands behind his back. Unexpectedly, today is a good time, and he met Gangcheng Jun Cai Ze to speak in it.

Thinking of the relationship between Gangcheng Jun Cai Ze and Wen Xinhou Lu Buwei, there seems to be nothing to think about.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

A few years ago, General Meng Ao, Xiangbang Lu Buwei, and Shangqing Gangcheng Jun Cai Ze were the most powerful ministers with the highest positions and titles in the Qin court, and they had almost all the real power and authority in Qin.

In addition, the three of them are equivalent to foreign courtiers whether they are relatives of the Ying Qin clan or the foreign relatives of Chu, so the three of them have a close relationship.Now, General Meng Ao has passed away for a long time, and the remaining two have such a personal relationship, so there is nothing to worry about.

"Everyone, the revised Qin law has been discussed in various halls for many days. In order to make the future Qin law perfect, the students here can express their opinions without any scruples. If anyone has an opinion that is adopted as a law, Wen Xinhou will reward him as promised! "

Standing on a high platform surrounded by everyone, Gangcheng Jun Cai Ze is holding a paper classic, and the unique sound of sipping and sipping is rippling with the wind, circling around, and falling into the ears of many disciples.

"I have a word below. Although the revised Qin law has added disaster relief, cultural prosperity, commerce, and filial piety, and all punishments have been eased by three points, the Qin law created by Shang Jun has become a grand and perfect trend."

"However, Shang Jun's Qin law has been practiced for more than a hundred years, and the people of Qin seem not to feel any inconvenience, and there is no voice from the government and the public to revise the law. What I worry about is that Wen Xinhou's new law will not have the basis for implementation. I hope Wen Xinhou will think twice. Row."
