After Zhou destroyed Shang, in order to maintain its rule.
The Zhou Dynasty divided people into ten grades.
That is, the emperor, princes, officials, scholars, officials, officials, officials, officials, servants, and platforms.
From top to bottom is the relationship between management and managed.
The Zhou Dynasty also developed rituals.
Ritual is also the original core of Confucianism established by Confucius.
Etiquette, music and education are the foundation of governing the country.
The etiquette of that level of status will be taught according to the level of status.
For example, if you are a slave, you will be taught unconditional obedience from birth.
How to reflect the level?
The princes who were entrusted by the emperor were divided into five levels: duke, hou, uncle, son and male.
The princes will further divide the feudal lords into enfeoffments, and those who enfeoff are the ministers and officials.
Ying Chengxuan is the Lord of Chang'an, and his title of Lord Chang'an is a kind of doctor.
If the doctor gives you a title, it will be a scholar.
The soldiers went down.
Zao, Yu has no title and is a commoner.
From Zao to Yu, Li, Liao, Pu and Tai are all slaves.
After such a set of Zhou rites, the world was divided.
The emperor does not need to rule the whole world, he only needs to entrust the world to the princes and manage them.
The princes followed suit and entrusted the territories under their names to the ministers. The princes only had to manage the ministers.
There is no need to divide it if the territory of Doctor Qing is further down, because the territory of Doctor Qing is very small, and Doctor Qing can manage it by himself, and there is no need to divide it.
The aristocrats of the old Qin people, that is, the class of officials, had almost divided the land of Qin.
As a result, the treasury of Qin State was empty at that time, but the nobles of the old Qin people were all extremely rich.
Shang Yang's state land grant system took back all the fiefdoms of the old Qin nobles. This method treated the symptoms but not the root cause.
How to cure the root cause?
County system!
Shang Yang unified the territories of the old Qin nobles and divided them into counties.
Qin Jun sent people to govern, but the appointed people only had governance rights but no ownership rights. The county still belonged to Qin Jun's territory.
This seems like a normal move now, but it was a major reform at the time.
Because of the privileged class roots of Doctor Qing, Shang Yang had to dig into it.
From then on, Doctor Qin Guoqing basically lost the soil for his success.
Shang Yang offended the entire Qin State.
After the death of Qin Xiaogong who was protecting him, Shang Yang was also burned to death by the raging anger of the old Qin nobles.
But now, Li Si has to do the same thing as Shang Yang did back then.
The vassal states implement the county system, but the ministers and officials do not exist.
The county system is practiced all over the world, and the princes no longer exist.
A considerable part of the ministers in the court should have become princes, and the remaining part also had the opportunity to become princes.
And Li Si's words directly made all these future princes GG.
This must be authorized by His Majesty!
Wang Wan, Wei Zhuang, Feng Quji and other officials were all very angry.
As soon as they heard what Li Si said, they knew that it was arranged by the First Emperor, just like Qin Xiaogong arranged for Shang Yang to come out with reforms.
This was not the first time Shang Yang reformed the law, and he wanted to rule the country tyrannically with harsh punishments.
Shang Yang met Qin Xiaogong three times in total.
For the first time, Shang Yang proposed imperial rule.
That is, the oldest Chinese way of governing the country, represented by Yao and Shun.
The core is to follow the teachings of nature, which is the later Huang-Lao theory.
The people of Qin each performed their own duties and did their own thing, and the rule was natural.
The reason given by Qin Xiaogong is that it is too slow. I don't accept it. You can leave.
The second time, Shang Yang proposed the kingly way to govern the country.
The most typical example of the king's way is the etiquette system, which re-standardizes various etiquette systems and requires ministers not to overstep their bounds and act like a king, a minister, a father, a son.
Qin Xiaogong didn't even bother to give a reason this time. If I don't do it, you can leave.
For the third time, Shang Yang proposed to rule the country by hegemony.
This time it is a reform, with the legalist concept as the core. I make the law and you must abide by it. If you break the law, then I will die regardless of your identity or reputation.
At this time, Qin Xiaogong acted like a polite corporal.
Sir, you said it well!
Please help me govern Qin, sir!
The most likely reason why Li Si said something that was not in his own interest today was because of the instructions of the First Emperor.
This is exactly the same as the original Qin Xiao Highway. The people in the court are all human beings. Who can't figure it out?
Where is the eldest son?
All the ministers subconsciously looked at the seat in the front row where Ying Fusu usually sat.
At this time, they need the eldest son to help them charge into battle.
The eldest son admires Zhou etiquette and is a staunch defender of the Zhou system, so he will definitely refute it.
But what caught their eyes was not Ying Fusu, but Ying Chengyu with a handsome face.
Everyone looked at Ying Chengyu, who had wide eyes and a bored look on his face, and complained one after another.
Why is this a bastard?
Where has the eldest son gone?
Wang Wan, Wei Zhuang, and Feng Quji exchanged glances and sat down one after another.
The ministers watched as the three leaders sat down, and then they all sat down as well.
After a small sound, there was only one Li Si standing in the court hall.
No one agreed.
No one objected.
Fu Sheng was about to open his mouth, but Chunyu Yue tightly covered him.
Chunyu Yue whispered in Fusheng's ear again: "Don't seek death!"
After Fu Sheng indicated with his eyes that he would not talk nonsense, Chunyu Yue let go of his hand, but was still prepared to cover his mouth at any time.
Fu Sheng looked at Chunyu Yue, who was facing a formidable enemy, and said aggrievedly: "Brother Chunyu asked me not to give advice today. I don't know how to give advice. I just wanted to sigh..."
"This is the best." Chunyu Yue breathed a sigh of relief and wiped away the fine sweat on his forehead.
In the current situation, Li Si is obviously the mouthpiece of the First Emperor, using Li Si's words to express the First Emperor's decision.
If anyone stands up to oppose Li Si at this moment, it may seem like it is just a dispute between the party and the government, but in fact it is an enemy of the First Emperor.
Chunyu Yue understands this principle, Feng Quji understands it, Wei Zhuang understands it, Wang Wan understands it, and all the ministers understand it.
At this moment, all the ministers were sitting, but Li Si stood alone. Li Si stood out.
Ying Chengyu was speechless.
He didn't know how the debate on the enfeoffment system and the county system that was written in the history books of his previous life took place.
But he knew that if Li Si's system of prefectures and counties was established like this in this life, Great Qin would definitely create hidden dangers of discord between the monarch and his ministers.
Originally he wanted to act in a scene with Ying Zheng.
Aren’t you saying that my nephew is too young and is destined to be enfeoffed?
That's okay, I'm older, so give Qi Chuyan's three pieces of land to me first, and I'll watch over them for my nephews first. When my nephews grow up, I will give them back.
In this way, the imperial brother takes care of Zhao, Wei and Han who are close to Qin. You have also worked overtime in the past few years and can barely manage the world.
Not only did the ministers not get the fiefdom, but they also had to give themselves half of the world.
Ying Chengxuan knew in his heart that his image in front of everyone could not be worse. Everyone just felt that he was incapable of suppressing the nobles of the Six Nations, and there would definitely be chaos.
However, the First Emperor agreed again. The officials would not think that the First Emperor's agreement was recognition of Ying Chengyu's ability.
Then this matter is very clear.
The fact that he was entrusted with half of the Qin Kingdom was as unreasonable as Li Si saying something that was not in his own interests.
Your Majesty, you play a trumpet, right?
You just want to give all the land to your sons, and we don’t have a share, right?
It is difficult for the ministers to object, unless they say that Your Majesty, we also want to enfeoff the land.
But it's actually hard to say this. If you say this, it's a clear sign, and you're asking for rewards for your merits.
