After listening to Li Si's words, everyone was stunned.
Why haven't they heard of the famous man in front of His Majesty?
He wanted to ask a few more questions, but Li Si shook his head, as if he didn't want to say more.
Naturally, Wang Wan and Wei Liao also heard it. They walked beside Wang Jian and wanted to ask more information from Wang Jian's mouth.
"Old General Wang, who is Ran Fang that His Majesty just mentioned?"
Wang Jian, who was pulling Zhao Lei out, still had anger on his face, stopped when he heard Wang Wan's voice.
He kicked Zhao Lei hard on the butt, "Get out! I'll settle the score with you when I go back home!"
After saying that, he calmed down his anger and turned to look at Wang Wan and Wei Liao, as if he was not the one who got angry just now.
Wang Jian had been an official in the same dynasty as Wang Wan for many years. Wang Jian knew his nature and was devoted to the country and the country of Qin. He also knew that his questioning of Ran Fang was also for His Majesty's safety.
Therefore, his attitude toward Wang Wan became much better. He walked side by side with them and said with a smile: "I'm just a Confucian scholar."
Obviously, the rest of the people don't believe this sentence. If he is just a Confucian scholar, can His Majesty have such an attitude towards him?
Wei Liao glanced at Wang Wan and asked, "What's so special about this person?"
When this question reached the point, the ministers who were beside Li Si slowed down and all of them pricked up their ears.
Wang Jian knew that Ran Fang's matter was no longer a secret. His Majesty did not punish Zhao Lei for this matter just now, which meant that His Majesty did not care about it.
In the future, I'm afraid the Xianyang Prison will become lively.
"You can think about it and you can guess the changes in the court during this period."
During this period, not only the changes in the court, but also the changes in His Majesty were unpredictable to them, especially the sudden assassination of all the warlocks, which was the most surprising thing.
Unexpectedly, His Majesty would value Ran Fang so much, so this matter is worthy of further investigation.
…
The news of Wang Ben's victory spread throughout Xianyang City in less than a day.
Even Ran Fang and Fusu in Xianyang Prison heard the news from the jailer.
A proud smile appeared on Fusu's face. On the other hand, Ran Fang was not too surprised by this incident, which made his respect for Ran Fang even deeper.
"The crisis in Chu has been resolved, and our country, Qin, can be stable for a hundred years."
After speaking, he asked quite proudly: "Sir, is what I said correct?"
Ran Fang glanced at him and laughed out loud, unable to hide the ridicule in his eyes.
"How naive."
Facing Fusu's confused look, he explained: "If the world could be so simple and unite, then Your Majesty wouldn't have to implement the policy of 'cars on the same track, books on the same page'."
"The human heart is the most unpredictable. Even if it is suppressed by force, do you know how many of them are willing to do so?"
"Even the officials of Da Qin are probably not dedicated to Qin."
Fusu could understand these words, but he did not agree with them. He defended: "As Mr. said, if Da Qin can unify the world, it is in compliance with God's will. Isn't it possible that there are still people who want to fight against God?"
Fu Su could say such bold words, and Ran Fang couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
He said lightly, "Isn't Chu Di an example?"
A look of embarrassment flashed across Fusu's face, and he didn't know what to say.
After a long while, he opened his mouth to defend himself: "Nowadays, Chu Land is in trouble, and the fighting has stopped. It can no longer be called a threat."
Ran Fang's mouth moved slightly and he rolled his eyes at him. This may be what everyone in Da Qin thought.
When the Qin Dynasty annexed six countries in one go, such majesty was rare in the world. It is understandable that the people of the Qin Dynasty had a sense of superiority.
I just didn't expect that Mr. Su would have such stupid thoughts after being with me for a long time, which was a bit surprising.
It can be seen that he has blind confidence in Da Qin, or he is a little too fanatical about Ying Zheng.
"I have said before that many officials across the Qin Dynasty are unwilling to be promoted. Do you know why?"
Fusu thought for a moment, and Ran Fang did say before that the policy of moving the capital of Guizhou to Shitian did not bring a prosperous life to the people, but brought benefits to the local bureaucrats and wealthy businessmen.
For this reason, he did have someone investigate it, and this time when Ran Fang mentioned it, he was able to answer it with ease.
"According to what Mr. Wang said, it should be for profit."
"In order to maintain the laws of the Qin Dynasty, the officials given to you at that time were all famous local scholars, and these people all firmly supported the New Deal of the Qin Dynasty."
"Therefore, although the officials in some places were the old officials of the Six Kingdoms, they also played a certain role in the promotion of the new laws of the Qin Dynasty."
When he said this, Fusu looked a little proud.
"This is enough to show that Great Qin has a positive attitude towards the talented people of the old country. If they are willing, they will be used by Great Qin and become the pillars of Great Qin."
"Moreover, the imperial court has also limited a two-year inspection period for these officials. If they pass the inspection, they can be promoted and transferred. There will not be any bias against them because of different regions."
Ran Fang nodded. This point was correct. This was also what he thought Ying Zheng deserved praise for.
Unexpectedly, Fusu knew so much about Da Qin's policies, so he underestimated him.
It's just that although he understands the policies, he cannot see through people's hearts.
"But as far as I know, many officials have passed the assessment in recent years, but not many are willing to be promoted. It is even rare for one out of ten."
"Therefore, 90% of the officials in Xianyang City are from Guanzhong."
"Ninety percent?!" Fusu exclaimed.
He has never investigated, but he has a general understanding of the officials in the DPRK, but he has not thought about it in detail.
Because he would not have thought that there would be people who were unwilling to be promoted.
"Why is this?!"
“Isn’t it that they are officials just so that they can become marquises and become prime ministers in the future?”
Ran Fang patted the bamboo slips in his hand. This was the calligraphy he had just written. He tied it with a rope and placed it on a pile of bamboo slips next to him.
He turned around and sat there and said, "These officials are all smart. I'm afraid they have also seen that the world of Da Qin is unstable, so they just want to stay in that familiar place."
"If something happens to Da Qin in the future, then they have local power and connections, so they will naturally be safe. No matter how chaotic the world is, they can still make ends meet and protect their families and lives."
"Not only that, there must be many among these officials who want to wait for the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to Da Qin."
"You must know that today's Qin government is in conflict with the old government everywhere."
"These forces are intertwined in the six regions and have largely prevented the implementation of Qin's government. Even though the old nobles in Chu have been eliminated, there are still five other countries. Can't they be suppressed by force?"
Needless to say, Ran Fang knew that this was impossible.
However, he couldn't figure out how to deal with this matter?
At this moment, a cough came from outside the cell.
Ran Fang and Fu Su turned around at the same time, and saw a kind-looking man in brocade clothes walking from the side. The expression on his face was very calm, and he was not embarrassed at all about being caught.
Fusu recognized this person at a glance. He was surprised to see that the person was about to speak, but was interrupted.
After the man bowed and saluted Ran Fang, he said with a very pious attitude: "I just passed by here, and I couldn't help but be attracted by what you said. I felt that what you said was very reasonable, so I couldn't help but stop. I hope you won't blame me."
