Siheyuan: I decide the fate of the world with my medical skills

“It was like the noise of slaughter ringing in my ears.

Passing through the wall and looking around the neighbors, I saw an old man busy working on a lever beside the field. It was said that he was the uncle of King Yan. At this moment, he just smacked his lips and took the scene indifferently.

Tian Jia immediately swung his bamboo stick hard on the dirt ground, shouting: "If you continue to talk nonsense, I will go to the government to accuse you of being unfilial and treacherous, and ask them to order you to be deprived of your freedom!

According to the law, there was a provision in the Qin Dynasty law that allowed parents or masters to request officials to punish their children or servants, which was referred to as "Ye Sha".

It was when the county magistrate was trying the case of "murder by apology" that Tian Dan gathered a crowd and launched a surprise attack, thus seizing control of the State of Qi.

Tian Wei knelt on the ground, rubbing his bruised shoulders with his hands, "I was wrong!"

His brother's irrational words caused him to reflect and realize the possible troubles this action might bring and what consequences it would have for his daughter Ji.

"Well, can we let him go this time?" Tian Yun gave his brother a shoe upper as a remedy after the punishment and made a plea to spare the man.

"Only this time!" If those present could go along with the situation, Tian Jia would throw his broken bamboo stick aside to indicate that he had given up the action.

-

Fusu sat upright in the carriage, holding a piece of charred wood in his hand, and was writing big words on the paper.

The caves, the court elite, the army, the students, the nobles and all the people...

This represents the power that currently determines the future and destiny of the Qin Dynasty.

Since Fusu conveyed the news of Nanhai County to prominent royal family members such as Gongzi Gun and Gongzi Yan,

The royal family has realized that the promise Fusu made to them is an unprecedentedly great prospect.

As a result, the second group of pioneers heading to Nanhai County reached a size of 10,000 people.

Most of the people who heard the news were actually "slave officials" who were good at farming.

This suggests that these royal groups have now firmly tied their fate to their patrons.

Fusu firmly believed that as long as there were people willing to assist, the royal family could contribute an elite army of no less than 10,000 people to help him at the critical moment.

After all, even though the Qin Dynasty unified the six kingdoms for a short time, its influence and presence in key areas such as Longxi and Guanzhong lasted for hundreds of years.

As for the military,

The Meng family was the first to bear the brunt. If it weren't for the fact that Meng Tian didn't have a legitimate daughter, perhaps he would have privately revered him as a gentleman and also called him father-in-law.

As for Wang Li, although he was punished,

However, Fusu not only did not hold him accountable, but instead appointed him as deputy commander of the Jiuyuan Army, and appointed Wang Jian's son Wang He to replace Meng Tian as the internal historian.

This consolidated Fusu's influence in the military field.

As for Li Xin, who led the Longxi team,

And through the loyalty shown in previous visits,

Publicly swore allegiance to Fusu.

Because the noble status he lost after his failure to attack the State of Chu still depended on the possibility of being restored by Fusu in the future after the war with the Qiang people was over.

As for Yang Duan, the Weiwei, Xin Sheng, the Lieutenant, and Yang Xiong, the Huben General, who were in charge of the imperial guards and the garrison in Xianyang, Fusu managed to win them over and expressed their loyalty to him.

The rumored Lingnan Army of more than 500,000 is actually a wrong view.

In order to win the support of ordinary soldiers, it is necessary to continuously open up uncultivated territories in the Western Regions and the South, and ensure that sufficient farmland is provided as the basis for military rewards.

Fusu checked the boxes next to the two items: blood nobility and military power.

His eyes fixed on the word courtiers and he began to ponder.

As someone who had control over the army, Fusu did not find it difficult to persuade others. The difficult part was to ensure that their actions were not only consistent, but also that they could faithfully implement their new policy plans without deviation.

For example, when an order was given to collect wood, the other party turned their attention to the beams in the houses of ordinary people and said that these were the firewood that the government required to be collected.

Such reverse operations are common in history.

After a brief pause, Fusu wrote a sentence next to the two words "court officials".

Censors and harsh judges (cruel officials).

A question mark is added after the two words "cruel officials" because most of the famous cruel officials in this era were only recorded in the later Han Dynasty, such as Zhidu and Zhang Tang.

The only person who can be traced back to this era is Hou Feng, but it is still unknown whether he is still working in some remote place. When looking through the lists of talents selected by various counties, no information about Hou Feng was found.

After sighing, Fusu used a carbon rod to circle the word "cool".

There was no other choice but to train them ourselves...But fortunately, in the Qin State, which ruled by law, there was no shortage of officials who were familiar with laws and regulations.

Fusu recalled how later generations had portrayed these cruel officials as ruthless in enforcing the law, unyielding in the face of lawbreakers, and loyal to the royal family.

As the old saying goes, you hold a carrot in your hand but have a whip in your mouth. Use the lure of official positions to recruit those forces who have ulterior motives but are not very powerful. For the stubborn elements who are determined to oppose the court, you need to use this kind of harsh and cruel officials!

Fusu shook his head, and in his heart he expressed his contempt for the First Emperor - if it weren't for Han Fei, he wouldn't have been so troubled about how to solve the problem of these officials. Can't he just pick some people from the students under the authority of the Legalist? If he can't use his own people, then the result will definitely be killing - regret it! How despicable!

Putting aside the consideration of the harsh judge for the moment, Fusu turned to look at the words "Censor".

The original censors were concurrent historians, but modern censors, like those of later generations, wore a Xiezhi crown (a cap with the image of a one-horned beast) and were responsible for investigating and punishing illegal events and behaviors. Under Fusu's leadership, Zhang Cang, who had just taken office as the Chief Censor, was gradually clearing out heresy in the court, while the supervisory censors sent out from various places were expected to have clear movements after November 1 of the following year.

This originated from the institutional regulations of Qin Law: from the first day of the first lunar month to the end of March every year is the period for inspection and assessment of officials at all levels of the court.

Fusu drew a horizontal line on the list behind them, meaning that these people could be used, but should not be trusted all the time and could only serve as assistants.

The column for children of gentry and nobles was circled with black charcoal.

Although the imperial examination system had not yet been established, there were many ways to seek official positions. In addition to military merit, promotion and reward, there were also two other ways: "protection" and "recommendation".

Soldiers and royal family members can enter politics through the "Yinmian" method, while children of nobles can follow the "Ju Xiaolian" mechanism. That is, only those with family background, reputation, and financial resources in society can be recommended by the villagers, similar to Han Xin's experience when he first entered politics. Although he had talent, he was unable to get an official position.

The edict issued by Fusu to recruit talented people seemed to be a broad recruitment of talents, but in fact it was a warning. It was expected that there would be many people from powerful families and strong family power among them. He did this to achieve his goal: to delay as much as possible or even offset the huge wave of changes that would come in July of the following year.

Next, Fusu’s gaze turned to the words “common people”.

Although the words seemed frivolous, they had a deep meaning in Fusu's heart. The theory that water can carry a boat but can also overturn it has been proven many times in history. Whether this huge force supports or not determines the final victory or defeat. To win their support, in short, it means reducing corvée and ensuring that farmers have their own farmland. Other feudal emperors faced various difficulties in implementing these policies. But for Fusu, this was an easy challenge to solve. The economic gap caused by the former could be made up by opening up land silk trade and trade with ethnic minorities in border areas.

The latter is that since ancient times, the Chinese have been a hardworking and intelligent nation, unmatched by anyone. They regard land as their life, and when they see idle fertile land, they all lament that it is not put to good use.

Therefore, whether in the western desert areas, the Jiangnan water towns, or the fertile plains of the northeast, they are enough to support tens of millions of agricultural population.

But development in these areas requires the support of a strong and powerful political regime.

Because the power of individuals or clans alone is not enough to cope with harsh environments and unpredictable external threats, such as barbarian invasions.

After drawing the straw paper and putting it in the box, Fusu could not help but think of Meng Tian's existence. He became even more worried about the Hu army that might march south before the mountains blocked the snow in winter.

In the military camp at the foot of the Black Gobi Desert, there is the residence of the main commander.

Meng Tian's eyes were filled with a mixture of fatigue and determination - staying up late for days did not make his face look tired, but his bloodshot eyes proved that he had not slept for two nights. This was not because of the worry about foreign attacks, but more based on the thinking of the current complex situation. If he hung his orders high on the city wall, at least the foreign invaders would be kept hundreds of miles away, and he would take the initiative to offer sacrifices to express friendly condolences.

But this did not eliminate his deep concern about the military situation: it is necessary to ensure the strength of the border defense line and to rationally deploy troops and resources to deal with the threat of foreign enemies; at the same time, it is necessary to avoid excessive interference with domestic security or unnecessary sacrifices.

Recently, Meng Tian has been thinking about how to stabilize the domestic order while resisting the pressure from the north. After all, he is well versed in the art of balancing diplomatic relations, strategic planning and domestic governance, which is particularly precious and important in this chaotic world. Now facing many difficult problems and decision-making choices, it is not only a test of his wisdom as a general, but also a test of his loyalty and strategy as a close minister of the king. Meng Tian understands his position. He must not only lead the soldiers to defend the country and consolidate the borders, but also have insight into the situation and make plans. He knows that his mission is important and he must be more focused and prudent in the days to come. At this time, his thoughts are entangled with the constant emergence of worries and hopes. Faced with such a complex situation, only by unswervingly following the path that he believes is right can he lead this country and its people out of the predicament and move towards a more peaceful and stable future.
