Chapter 192: South or North?
After returning to Xianyang City, everyone resigned from Ying Zheng and went home.
Hu Hai didn't understand what Ying Zheng meant at the end, so he immediately found Li Si and humbly asked for advice: "Li Xiang."
Li Si frowned slightly. He didn't like to see Master Hu Hai now, but he still suppressed his identity. He had no choice but to say calmly: "Eighteen. Master, what's the matter?"
Seeing Li Si's attitude, Hu Hai wanted to go up and beat Li Si up, and then tell me properly, "I ask you, that is flattering you, don't be shameless."
But the reality is that he has to bow his head. Hu Hai, who used to be arrogant in the past, can only bow his head and apologize and say with a smile: "Prime Minister Li, what do you mean by your father's last words? Please enlighten me, Prime Minister Li."
Li Si sneered and thought to himself: "If you are so ignorant and incompetent, how could I be blinded by lard and support you to become the second emperor of Qin?"
But he said: "Your Majesty does not want the colored glass to flow into the hands of ordinary people. What your Majesty wants to deal with is the nobles.
I regret that Mr. Hu Hai, your current status is embarrassing, so you must do this, otherwise... Well, you can do it yourself. "
"Thank you, Mr. Li, for your advice." Hu Hai said respectfully.
After he watched Li Si leave, the smile on his face suddenly became very ferocious.
"Dogs look down on people, and I will make you all regret it sooner or later."
Immediately he returned to his home.
After Fusu returned home, he immediately approached Xiao He and others.
"See the prince."
"You don't need to be polite." Fusu said, "Now that we get down to business, I want to apologize to everyone. After recruiting you to Xianyang City, I left with my father without leaving any arrangements."
"I don't dare." Xiao He and others were flattered.
Fusu said: "Father already knows about your existence."
Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect that a group of ordinary people would fall into the ears of the First Emperor. It was really exciting.
"Prince, what are your orders?" Han Xin asked immediately.
Fusu said: "Tomorrow morning, my father asked me to take Xiao He with me. As for the others, my father has not made any arrangements yet."
Xiao He was immediately excited, Han Xin's face became a little dark, and Fan Kuai and others were happy for Xiao He.
Xiao He immediately stood up and said: "Prince, what should I do tomorrow morning?"
"The officials may make things difficult for you, but what you have to do is to show your talents and make the officials speechless." Fusu said.
"Prince, please rest assured. The villain will definitely behave well and not disgrace the prince's virtuous name." Xiao He said solemnly.
Fusu nodded and said, "Very good."
Then he looked at Han Xin and others and said: "Happy, I know you have the status of a marshal. Now the Qin Dynasty's troops are the Xiongnu in the north and the Baiyue in the south.
My mentor told me that the Xiongnu in the north are the real enemies of Qin. Unless this enemy is destroyed, Qin will never be safe.
Baiyue in the south is supported by the Qin Granary. By capturing Baiyue, the imperial court's military supplies will be guaranteed and the tax pressure on the people will be reduced.
Now, I give you a choice, do you want to go south or north? "
"Prince, I am stupid. The Xiongnu in the north is the mortal enemy of Qin. I can understand it, but the Baiyue in the south is the granary of Qin. I am very puzzled. Can you help me clarify my confusion?" Han Xin asked.
Fusu smiled and said: "This is because there is rice in the south, which can be harvested twice or even three times a year, and the yield is higher than that of wheat.
Although potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes have been widely promoted, the yields are also amazing and can be used as food, but this is not a long-term solution. Rice and wheat are the staple foods we often eat.
We didn’t understand it before, but now we know that the land of Baiyue must be won. And the common people didn't know about it, so the court had to let everyone in the world know about it.
Xiao He, you can think about this problem. "
"Thank you for the reminder, Prince." Xiao He said happily,
Fusu continued: "Han Xin, you can think about it with everyone and decide, I will write a letter of recommendation to Meng Tian or Wang Ben, asking you to go and join them.
Because you all want to be generals and need to achieve military success. "
"I understand," Han Xin said. "I am willing to go north and help General Meng Tian completely defeat the Huns."
"Okay." Fusu said with a smile, "I will prepare a book now. You can take it with you and set off."
"promise."
Soon, Fusu wrote a letter and gave it to Han Xin, saying: "I believe in you, you will never let me down."
"Prince, please rest assured, we will not let him down." Gao Gao and others responded at the same time.
Afterwards, Han Xin left Xianyang City with Fan Kuai and others, and quickly headed to Mobei.
Xiao He was the only person Fusu originally brought from Pei County who was still in the Prince's Mansion.
…
After Li Si returned home, he immediately went to his study to write about the three systems of the imperial examination system, the cabinet system and the provincial system.
In addition, Li Si still has one important thing to do, which is to re-formulate the laws of Qin.
Because of the need to implement benevolent government, the existing Qin laws are too strict and need to be revised.
Nowadays, everyone in the world is in the Prime Minister's Mansion. It can be described as three thousand followers. The momentum is not inferior to the scene when Lu Buwei asked the followers to write "Lu's Spring and Autumn".
Originally, the Legalist disciples came to Xianyang City with enthusiasm and participated in such a great cause as revising Qin's laws with Li Si.
But before they started to revise it, they discovered that Li Si had left Xianyang City with the First Emperor, and the revision was delayed again and again.
Today, Li Si is back.
Li Si's junior brother Jia Xu came to the study to see Li Si. Li Si had no choice but to meet Jia Xu first.
"Senior brother, now that almost all the Legalists have arrived in Xianyang, when will we revise Qin's laws?" Jia Xu asked.
Li Si replied: "Junior brother, I will be busy with other things recently, and you will be responsible for revising Qin's laws.
Your Majesty wants to implement benevolent government, so your Majesty will reduce the criminal law to the lightest level. "
"What's light and what's heavy?" Jax asked.
Li Si replied: "In the case of chickens crowing and dogs stealing, the perpetrators can be punished with criminal detention and beating with a stick.
If someone is not a heinous person, he will be executed or beheaded.
besides……"
With the examples Li Si gave, Jia Xu understood what benevolent government was. Compared with the current Qin laws, the laws Li Si mentioned were not laws at all, but rules. If you made a mistake, you would be punished.
"Senior brother, is this punishment too light? Incidents of cock-crowing, dog-robbery and theft will definitely happen frequently." Jia Xu said worriedly.
"I know, so the criminal law will be increased for those who commit the crime again. First-time offenders will be given a warning, jail time, or corporal punishment depending on whether the circumstances are serious.
Repeat offenders will be given a detention sentence, third offenders will be given physical punishment plus a detention sentence, and fourth offenders will be given an additional period of detention. "
Some people died, but not completely...
