Qin Shi Big Boss

Chapter 124 No Better Consequences

Lu Buwei was so moved by the entry of the poor family's junior into the Qin Dynasty this time, but he was clear that these things did not happen overnight.

The poor are poor and have very few resources. Although they have certain insights, they still need to develop a lot before they can make a difference.Even if there are some insightful ones, they are only a small batch, but Lu Buwei is not in a hurry.

He made plans step by step, as this was related to his long-term hopes and there was no room for sloppiness.

Ying Zheng is also thinking about one thing very recently. According to historical development, King Zhuangxiang of Qin is about to die, and he will become the new King of Qin.Although he is young, with his current prestige, he can probably do what he says in Qin.

As for dignitaries ruling, it is even more impossible. The first Mrs. Huayang is a good example.

Whether it is Zhang Yi or Li Cunxiao, he personally brought them out. They are loyal to Ying Zheng in every way.

Lu Buwei is good at playing by ear, and the truth is that he was a businessman, but now he is completely convinced by Ying Zheng's admiration, so there is no possibility of problems.He wanted to write "Lu's Spring and Autumn", and he had asked Ying Zheng for advice. Ying Zheng's answer was that the time was not there yet, and more scholars were needed to write it roughly.

Zhao Gao has deep psychology, even if he was suppressed last time, he still has years of mischief.Now that there are Tianmi checks and balances, the possibility of problems is not very great.

As for the Yinyang family, they have surrendered to Yingzheng, and Donghuang Taiyi believes that Yingzheng is their destiny.

The generals highly regarded Ying Zheng, and the soldiers in the army were fanatical. Since Ying Zheng had led troops to capture Luoyang, cut off Lian Po's head, and captured King Zhao Xiaocheng alive, military power should be restored soon.

Meng Tian and Wang Ben both worked under Li Cunxiao, that is, under Ying Zheng.

Basically, the power can be concentrated in the hands very quickly, but the new Huayang Jun has a lot of complaints about Ying Zheng, which has long been recorded by the trap, and he needs to beat it hard, so as to warn those who are ready to fight people.

The current state of Qin still has a military-centered communist thinking, which is reflected in all aspects of society.Whether it's the legal system, or the old Qin people, or many ministers, they all have the same thinking direction more or less.

In war years, such a legal system can indeed bring stability, but in a clean era, the legal system will appear too strict and have a great negative effect.

Yingzheng has dabbled in "Lu's Age" on the earth plane, and the core is the unification thinking of the Qin State, but it is necessary to participate in the political system and transform it into the thinking of governing the world. Confucianism may be a good choice.

Although Confucianism in history has a scattered reputation, it is indeed good in some respects. Combining various schools of thought can maximize strengths and avoid weaknesses and achieve good results.

At first, the establishment of various schools of thought was to seek ways to solve the troubled times. The Legalists were masters of governance, but not masters of governing the world.

In terms of national system, Confucianism and Legalism should be combined, craftsmen should be headed by Mohism, and agriculture should naturally be farms.

All schools of thought, each with its own strengths and weaknesses, will certainly be able to play a powerful role by making use of their strengths and avoiding their weaknesses, so that the world can truly enjoy long-term peace and stability.

If it cannot be changed fundamentally, Daqin will really be a tyrant.

Three days later, the Six Kingdoms began to supply rice paper and brushes in small batches. The cost was extremely high, which made many young people from poor families want to cry without tears, and even young and powerful people gathered in groups to scold the West.

"Damn Qin, it is obvious that these rice papers and brushes are made at such a high price that I can't afford to buy them even if I die without eating or drinking. The country of tigers and wolves, Qin is a bunch of barbarians .”

"It would be great if such good rice paper could be as good as the people of Qin. These Qin people who deserve it only care about their own enjoyment and do not regard the scholars of other countries as human beings. It is really abominable!"

"Especially the man named Lu Buwei. He was originally a philistine. After becoming the prime minister, he made a lot of money. This was the case with dried sweet potatoes last time and the same is true with rice paper and brushes this time."

"In my opinion, these businessmen all have the same face. Look at that mustache just now. When he saw me, he would chase me away with a broom. When he saw the son coming, he would smile and be able to negotiate the price. These businessmen deserved it. _people."

But they cursed others, but they were all senior and junior, and they didn't dare to do anything special.In the end, these people were tired of scolding and could only watch helplessly as the dignitaries returned with the rice paper, but they couldn't even get the scraps of paper.

Just like Yingzheng's premonition, the opposition from the poor families of various countries is getting louder and louder, but the reason why the poor families are poor families is not the mainstream force of society, even if they oppose it, it will not have much effect.

As for stealing paper or grabbing pens, they can't afford to do such low-spirited things.

Another piece of heavy news came out, which shocked the six countries of Shandong in an instant. It was no different than the excavation of rice paper and sheep. That is, as long as scholars from various countries agreed to enter Qin, and they were enthroned, Qin's rice paper and cashmere brushes could be used as supplies. They apply.

After repeated confirmation, this statement was said by Ying Zheng, the crown prince of Qin.

The juniors of the poor family immediately changed their tune, and they were all ashamed. They thought that Qin Guo deliberately made things difficult for them, but in fact they had given them such a good opportunity.As long as you enter the Qin Dynasty, you can get a batch of free rice paper and brushes, and you can even get ink, which is really a good choice.

"Originally, we all blamed Qin State by mistake. They didn't mean to target us, but gave us this great opportunity. After I said goodbye to my mother, Tongda set out to go to Qin State to study hard. I believe that in the near future, we will be able to Has some accomplishments."

"Provide free rice paper and brushes to our humble descendants, matching our reborn parents, and bestowing the virtue of the second day. Don't talk about rice paper, you can't even afford bamboo slips, let alone anything else."

"Why is the Qin State so kind this time? Is there some big conspiracy?"

"Judging with the heart of a villain, of course everything is a trick. Since you think there is a trick, it is best not to go to Qin. I will go to Qin to seek knowledge with the old king next door. I believe that I will be able to achieve something. .”

After hearing the news, businessmen from various countries held several research meetings in private, hoping to clarify Qin's plan.

"What does Qin want to do this time? By making this big mistake, wouldn't it mean that the cost of rice paper and cashmere from all our countries has been reduced? At first, I only spent several thousand taels of gold on these pieces."

"Probably not. The state of Qin strictly controls the rice paper and brushes, and it is difficult to spread them to other countries. Even if they are spread, it will be a long time later. By that time, we have sold out all of our hands."

"Absorbing so many juniors from poor families came to Qin State. It is hard for Qin State to want to raise them like diners, but most of these juniors from poor families are not well-known. I think Qin State is ignorant this time."

"For so long, I've heard of few humble scholars, and even fewer who can become talented. I think Qin is an idiot's dream this time."

After several analyzes, the businessmen felt that this matter was related to their interests, so they didn't think much about it.What's more, he felt that Qin State had gone astray this time and was too greedy, so he made such a bad move.

All the schools of thought had thought about writing a book, but because the bamboo slips were too expensive, and because of the number of people, this time, after learning the news, there was a change first.

"The state of Qin opened up free rice paper and brushes this time. It is only necessary to register. It is better for the Mo family to go there and write a book to say that it is now."

"Although our Gongsun family focuses on debate, there are many cases, all of which are classics. With the help of rice paper, we can solve our troubles. We should go to Qin now."

"The State of Qin used to be called tigers and wolves, but this time it has done a great deed and can help so many poor people. Many of our Confucian disciples have gone there, and a few of us should follow suit."

The high-level officials of various countries are indifferent to this, because these juniors from poor families do not have much effect on them, at most they are just lower-level people.A small group of a few, who are in high positions, cannot go to Qin.

They felt that Qin's expenditure of so much rice paper this time was a great waste and a mockery of the Qin people's ignorance.

In their eyes, the people who should really make peace should be celebrities, not juniors from humble families.There is a world of difference between a celebrity and a poor family. Instead of saying they get along well, they talk about a poor family not getting along, which is a joke in the world.

……

Although Ying Zheng was extraordinary before, but this time he really lost his mind, probably because he just wanted to have fun.As for the effect, they may have doubts, but most of them will not take it seriously.

There are more and more descendants from poor families in various countries, and some famous scholars among them also arrived in Qin State. It seems that this is the most lively time in Xianyang for so many years.

Although the number of people is large, but under the control of King Qin's laws and registration, they dare not commit crimes and violate the law. They are very disciplined and have not caused trouble to most common people.

one afternoon,
Ying Zheng called Lu Buwei and Zhao Gao over.

"See you, Prince!" Both Lu Buwei and Zhao Gao saluted.

Because Tian Mi divided his power, Zhao Gao was not only not unhappy, but even more respectful to Ying Zheng.

"This time many juniors from humble families entered the Qin Dynasty. You must have made solid preparations. I have told you some key points before, and you have dealt with them well. But this time, I am here to tell you another important thing." Ying Zheng said calmly.

"Prince, please speak!" Lu Buwei and Zhao Gao said quickly. Their voices combined together, creating a strong sense of dissonance.

"I want to implement a new talent selection system, that is, the imperial examination system." Ying Zheng said, he has been thinking about this issue for a long time, whether the current era is suitable for this system.

Judging from the current generation force and relationship, the implementation of the imperial examination system should not be a big problem.

"What is the imperial examination system?" Lu Buwei asked in surprise.

Zhao Gao was also confused, looking at Ying Zheng with great interest, waiting for him to say the following.

They have never heard of this kind of system, but since Ying Zheng said it, it must be of great value, just like sweet potatoes, or rice paper, all of which are unknowing.

Therefore, they waited very much.

"The imperial examination system, to put it simply, is a system in which officials are selected through sub-examinations." Yingzheng explained.

Lu Buwei was taken aback. He didn't expect such a system, which seems simple, but it can stir up big waves, and even has a more terrifying influence than sweet potatoes.

The selection of talents in the country is mostly in the hands of the scholars. If they do this, they will cut off the power of the wealthy families and concentrate everything in the hands of the middle, that is, in the hands of the king.

"If you do this, it is equivalent to seizing power. I'm afraid the gentry will not agree." Lu Buwei shook his head lightly. Although he wanted to implement it, it was too difficult and might even cause civil strife.

Zhao Gao also took a deep breath, behind these three simple words, there could be a lot of bloodshed.

At this moment, Zhang Yi walked in, saluted Ying Zheng, and said loudly, "I think the imperial examination system is a good system."

Being refuted by Zhang Yi, Lu Buwei was also not angry, and said in a remote way: "It's not bad, but it's not bad, but the impact is huge, and the limitations involved are so big that it's hard to predict. If something goes wrong, it doesn't matter if you don't get any benefits. When the national power declines at that time, it will be suppressed by other countries.”

"Prime Minister, you are wrong." Zhang Yi shook her head lightly.

"What advice does Shangqing have?" Lu Buwei still couldn't help it, and he got into a fight with Zhang Yi, and he wanted to see what Zhang Yi was capable of.

Ying Zheng did not stop him. If the two of them were too close to each other and stuck together, it would not be a good thing.In addition, he also wanted to hear what they had to say in detail. The truth is that both of them are amazing geniuses and must have unique opinions.

"The imperial examination system is obviously a good system. It can not only consolidate power, but also promote real talents, instead of the current literati and doctors who follow suit. For the country and the people, it is more beneficial than harmful. From Qingshi." Zhang Yi said loudly.

"As Shangqing said, but Shangqing has forgotten that the current scholars and doctors, they are already in high positions, and they will not allow anyone to occupy their power. Then the country will be in danger." Lu Buwei frowned, since he experienced the turmoil of the Chu people last time, he deeply understood the sharpness of these soldiers and doctors.

"I think the danger in the Prime Minister's eyes is not a danger, it's just that the Prime Minister is too nervous." Zhang Yi chuckled.

Feeling the disdain in Zhang Yi's tone, Lu Buwei said sullenly, "What do you mean by this? It's not a small matter for a scholar to be a doctor, but it's a big thing without knowing it."

"If it is another country, it may be exactly the same as what the prime minister said, but for Qin, it is nothing. The king of Qin has a sound legal system, and the law is the center, not the clan. This is the first. The second It is Qin's current power, which is basically concentrated in the hands of Ying, so there is no need to worry at all." Zhang Yi said with a smile.

"Although this is the case, the ants will still struggle when they die, let alone such a huge noble clan. I am afraid that when they struggle, they will have a very bad impact on the Qin State." Lu Buwei said his own sad.

"The prime minister has nothing to worry about. He just needs to get rid of a few people who come forward. At the beginning of Shang Yang's reform, didn't the three tribes of Mengxi and Bai also strongly opposed it? As long as it is implemented in a rigid manner, it will not have much impact. At first, the state of Qin It is because of the reform that it became stronger step by step, surpassing the six Shandong countries and becoming the most powerful country among the seven countries." Zhang Yi spoke boldly and quoted extensively.

"That's true. At the beginning, the Qin State was suppressed by the Wei State one after another, and it was on the verge of decline. After Shang Yang's reform, after recuperating for a period of time, it became a powerful country in one fell swoop, and far surpassed the Shandong countries." Zhao Gao said.

"The imperial examination system is just like Shang Yang's reform. It is extremely difficult when it is first implemented, but once it is established, it can bring amazing power. This is the benefit of the system." Zhang Yi spoke very quickly. , becoming more and more generous, even clenching his fists and trembling all over.

Ying Zheng also felt the same way about this. The changes brought about by the system are fundamental reversals.
In the Qing Dynasty on the earth plane, no matter how it developed, even with the Westernization Movement, if it did not break away from the feudal essence, it would never be able to compare with the Western countries.

Japan is different. After the Meiji Restoration, it became a powerful country in the East and a national power in one fell swoop. It defeated Tsarist Russia in Siberia.

The more advanced system is the foundation. It cannot be seen or touched, but it is the key point.

"What you said makes sense, but how should we deal with those birds who come forward?" Lu Buwei wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Kill chickens and scare monkeys." Zhang Yi's eyes flashed a cold look, "Just like Mr. Huayang at the beginning, after killing Mrs. Huayang, their gathering strength will slow down, and our concentrated strength will increase. After killing a few times, there will be no reversal."

Lu Buwei mediated his feelings, looked at Yingzheng, and said: "Shangqing is right. At first Mrs. Huayang rebelled, and she was suppressed by His Royal Highness. The prince has a very high prestige in Qin. With his prestige, I want to Even if there will be resistance to the implementation of this system, it should not be a serious problem.”

"Even if civil strife occurs, after one group is killed, another group will be added soon, and they may even be selected as officials from poor families. In this way, how dare they rebel." Although Zhang Yi is a scholar, Now it's murderous.

Zhao Gao also admitted this very much, thinking in his heart: "Others may not be able to do it, but Ying Zheng can do it. At first, Mrs. Huayang was killed indirectly by him, and it was also because of the prince that I was able to do it." Chance to kill."

Although Lu Buwei had doubts, but when he thought that Yingzheng was in charge, he couldn't help but feel confident. Coupled with Zhang Yi's argument, he felt that it was very reasonable. The imperial examination system was of great benefit to Qin, and it was indeed worth implementing.

Although he comforted himself in this way, Lu Buwei always felt a little uneasy in his heart.

"Since everyone thinks it can be implemented, let's make preparations in advance and wait for my news." Ying Zheng said.

"There is still a problem. Of course, you can kill chickens and scare monkeys, but there is one person who will definitely not agree, and that person cannot be moved." Lu Buwei said.

"Who?" Zhang Yi asked.

"It's the king. There are many causal relationships, and the king's temperament has always been hesitant, especially for such a huge thing, I'm afraid he will have to hesitate for a long time, and the day lily will be cold by then." Lu Buwei said himself Another layer of worry.

Anyone can move, but King Qin can't move anything, let alone kill chickens and scare monkeys. After all, he is the father of Prince Yingzheng.

If he refuses to agree, then there is really no facility.

"There is no need to wait for father's consent. Let's do it well in advance. It's enough to kill first and then play." A flash of determination flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes.

Lu Buwei was taken aback. He didn't expect the crown prince to be so determined to implement the imperial examination system, so he said quickly: "The Chu people are extremely powerful, and they have accumulated a lot in the field. It is not so easy to uproot them. With their number, even if we want to It’s impossible to punish him any faster.”

Zhang Yi also became nervous, and even had another level of worry, saying: "Prince, what we are doing is extremely dangerous, and we are about to usurp power and throne. In my opinion, it is better to take it easy."

"My strategy is to communicate with Qin Guo in private first, let him gradually understand the benefits of this decision, wait for a certain opportunity, and then mobilize the power of the government and kill with one blow. This is the correct way." Lu Buwei remonstrated.

If King Zhuangxiang of Qin had been the lord of England, he might not have had to spend so many troubles. He only needed to explain the truth, and it would naturally be possible to implement it at that time.

It's a pity that although the King of Qin is not stupid, his skills are average, and ordinary things are fine, but when it comes to emergencies, he will soon lose his footing.

"I think so too. This matter should be taken care of gradually, and don't be cautious, otherwise, it may cause drastic changes." Zhao Gao also suggested.

"Picture it slowly, it seems to be the best policy, but in fact it is the worst policy. The best policy should be to cut first and play later, and be decisive." Ying Zheng said loudly, with astonishing arrogance.

Zhang Yi was startled, and hurriedly bowed her hands and said in a trembling voice: "Prince, if you make a mistake, you will be hated forever. In my opinion, this matter should be dealt with slowly. If you are in such a hurry, there will be big trouble."

"The people of Chu are very powerful. If they cut everything across the board, there will be big troubles soon." Lu Buwei was afraid that Ying Zheng would be overwhelmed, so he quickly persuaded him.

"I am the same age as the two, please think twice, Prince." Zhao Gao cupped his hands and said, but he acted according to circumstances, not from his original intention.

"Your Highness, please think twice!" Lu Buwei and Zhang Yi said together.

"There is no need to think twice, there is no need to think twice, since I have made up my mind, then you just do it." Ying Zheng's voice was clear and clear, with an arrogance that defied the whole world, "Even if I kill some of them, they will not Dare to say more, you think the Chu people are very powerful, but in fact they are just chickens and dogs, invincible."

The three of them were frightened by the news. They did not expect that when Ying Zheng showed his murderous aura, it would be so terrifying, especially Zhao Gao, who was even more afraid of Ying Zheng. Ying Zheng's murderous intent.

This murderous aura is extremely pure, with a violent sharpness, unlike ordinary murderous aura, although there are many murderous auras, but most of them are indiscriminate killings.

What Lu Buwei and Zhang Yi felt was not this kind of murderous aura, but more of the emperor's aura.

When the man got angry, his blood splattered three steps, when the emperor got angry, his blood flew thousands of miles.

In an instant, they seemed to have seen the scene of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, and their hearts continued to be terrified.

Zhang Yi clenched his fists tightly, his mind was violently touched, and he said in his heart: "The emperor's spirit is also terrifying. The prince is indeed the son of destiny. Although he is only a prince, he has cultivated the emperor's spirit. Even King Zhuangxiang of Qin is far inferior. .”

"I met King Qin Zhaoxiang at first, but compared with the prince's emperor's spirit, it is far incomparable. Perhaps, the prince's death in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was a doomed event from the heavens. Fortunately, there was no fight at that time, otherwise it is okay to suffer accidents." Lu Buwei is even more Fear again and again.

Compete with the prince for the achievements of the decline of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty,

That is to go against the sky,

How can it end well?

Only Yingzheng, who died in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, is in line with orthodoxy. How can he, Lu Buwei, be able to compete with Yingzheng for gains?
Zhao Gao's nerves were tense and he was very nervous. He thought in his heart: "Don't provoke Ying Zheng, otherwise, it will not be easy to kill someone. If you go against the will of nature, it will probably harm your descendants and affect the nine clans."

After Ying Zheng finished speaking, they were all convinced that what Ying Zheng said made sense.

With the prestige of Ying Zheng, how can we allow the people of Chu to cause trouble if we pursue this system?

Although there was quite a storm last time, Mr. Huayang and Mrs. Huayang were squeezed to death as if they were an ant.

Even the current new Huayang Lord, Mi Rong, is nothing in front of the original two, let alone compared with Ying Zheng.

The ants shake the big tree, it's so funny.

Against Ying Zheng, there is no better result than death.

"Zhao Gao." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.

Zhao Gao shuddered, and when Ying Zheng called him that, he felt chills all over his back and felt uncomfortable all over. This was probably the most important time in his life.
