A white dove circled over Shangjun and landed diagonally.
Not long after, half a palm-sized piece of letter paper fell into Ying Fusu's hands. It records the new policy of canceling the balconies on November 15th, as well as the new obscenity crime added to the Qin Code.
In more than a month in Northwest Shang County, Ying Fusu has changed more than in more than ten years in Xianyang City.
He truly presided over the affairs of the place and dealt with matters big and small. He truly learned knowledge that could not be learned in classics, and deeply understood the difficulties of his father and uncle.
Regardless of anything else, just because of his uncle's ten years of keeping a low profile, he didn't realize it until recently, understand it, and understand a little bit about the reasons, because Han Fei also did the same thing.
Obviously, most of the government orders came from the mouth of Han Fei, who had a speech problem. Han Fei played the role of the program for most of the changes in Shangjun, but every time he issued a new order, he was Ying Fusu.
At first he didn't understand why, and was disgusted with Han Fei's behavior. The father who occupies a high position on the throne disdains taking the merits of others, and the same goes for the noble-minded Prince of Qin.
He asked Han Fei and wrote about everything he knew. Han Fei patiently taught:
This is a process of building momentum. If you want to establish Ying Fusu's prestige in the seven northwest counties as quickly as possible and win the hearts and minds of the people in the seven northwest counties, the fastest way is to give him all the credit.
As for why the First Emperor didn't do this, it was because it was no longer needed. The First Emperor who destroyed the Six Kingdoms no longer needed to use these means to establish his prestige. The First Emperor had already passed this stage.
Ying Fusu didn't understand and questioned it. In his impression, his father had never been in such a stage. He was as powerful and coercive as ever.
Han Fei cited his uncle's heroic retreat when the First Emperor came to the throne, and his ten years of neglecting political affairs without taking any credit. On the first New Year after the First Emperor unified the world, he shouted anti-Heaven examples during the Wax Festival, asking the Prince of Qin to think about the reasons.
More than a month has passed, as the soldiers and civilians of Shangjun looked at me from awe at first, to awe and love now. Ying Fusu no longer hesitated and silently accepted Han Fei's offer.
Ying Fusu's complexion is slightly dark, and his skin is obviously rough. His appearance has been slightly changed by the wind and sand from the northwest. His childishness and innocence have faded away, and he has begun to become calm and mature.
Holding the letter from Xianyang in his hand, he walked into an inconspicuous room in the Shangjun Sheriff's Mansion. This small house, less than thirty square meters, is where Han Fei works.
After entering, he called "Sir" first, then shook off the letter paper in his hand slightly, allowing Han Fei to focus on the letter paper.
"Father has banned the towers in the Guanzhong area."
Han Fei was a little surprised.
Based on his understanding of the First Emperor, this should not be what the First Emperor would do.
He took the letter and read it. After seeing the obscenity crime, he was convinced that the restless king had taken action.
[Your Majesty, you think the seven counties in the northwest are too small, and it would be too slow to wait for action. ]
"gentlemen."
"Um?"
"Why must the balcony be banned?"
Han Fei took out a pen and paper and started writing quickly.
For him, speaking more than one syllable is not as fast as writing it, especially after the implementation of simplified Chinese characters.
[The prince has asked about this matter, but has not made it clear to the prince. 】
"Because Fusu learned today that the towers have been removed, and the prostitutes from the towers in the north have returned home to work as secret prostitutes."
[Not surprising. 】
"He was doing the balcony work at home, so why did he demolish the balcony?"
【atmosphere. 】
"atmosphere?"
[Yes, the prince still remembers that Fei told the prince that he had a dispute with the king about the "laws" and "techniques" of the Legalists? 】
Ying Fusu nodded, he remembered this very clearly.
He was able to persuade Han Fei, the first Legalist at the Legalist level, to let Han Fei rewrite "Han Feizi". If Han Fei hadn't said this himself, even if he thought his uncle was more powerful than his father in governing the country, he wouldn't have believed it.
Although the Qin State governed the country by law, Legalist knowledge was not completely equivalent to the knowledge of governing the country.
[The death of Han was due to the evil wind of "shu". If the tower is not removed, obscenity is not a crime, but it is also a bad habit. 】
Ying Fusu was thoughtful and quickly shook his head.
"Sir, please elaborate."
[The people of Qin are brave in public battles but timid in private battles. Why is there such a contradiction? 】
"Military merits can be obtained in public battles, and military merits can lead to knighthood. Qin law stipulates that those who fight privately: the mastermind will be cut in half, and those who threaten followers will be tortured."
Han Fei nodded and spread out two pieces of paper again. He couldn't change the First Emperor, but the prince, Han Fei, felt that there was great hope for change.
【Of course. Qin and Zhao have the same origin. Before Qin Xiaogong, the people of Qin had a long-term relationship with Rong and Di, and their personalities were aggressive and fierce, so private fights became common. Private fighting undermined public security and stability and caused serious internal strife. "History of Qin" records: In the sixth year of Duke Jiang of Qin, more than 20,000 people died in private fights in more than 40 counties across the country. 】
[The difficulty of governing a country lies not in curing good, but in curing evil. Only by punishing evil can good be promoted. Therefore, if we want to eradicate private fighting, we must not be lenient in punishing the perpetrators. Therefore, Shang Yang ordered that private fighting be strictly prohibited, and violators would be punished according to the circumstances, so as to eradicate this evil practice. Anyone who violates the rules will be cut in half and be punished with death penalty. 】
[Faced with the barbaric and vulgar habits of the Qin people for hundreds of years, people at the time believed that resistance from the court could not be changed overnight. Shang Yang faced strong resistance from the entire Qin society. Things that have existed for thousands of years involve conflicts of interest in all aspects. How can we say that we can eradicate it? 】
[However, during a private fight in the summer, Shang Yang executed more than 700 prisoners in the private fight at one time. The water of the Wei River was dyed red, and the sound of wailing shook the heaven and earth. From then on, the evil wind disappeared. When people have irreconcilable conflicts, they rush to report to the officials first, but they dare not take action. 】
[Shang Yang also enacted a new law, making the twenty-level military meritorious public and transparent. As long as the people of Qin dared to fight openly, everyone would have the possibility of becoming a marquis and worshiping the prime minister. From then on, the rise of Qin was unstoppable, and the Zhao State, which had the same origin as the Qin people and the martial arts prevailed in Qin, could not stop it. What is the merit of this? The power of law. 】
[The law stipulates the national code of conduct, which is the minimum standard of morality, the direction of the national ethos, and the first education that the people receive. The Qin State admired military merit and looked down upon those who had no military merit. This was the result of Shang Yang's reforms, the establishment of twenty-level military merit titles, and the result of removing the evil trend of private fighting and sending the evil trend of public fighting away. 】
[Abolition of towers and criminalization of obscenity are the same principles. Nowadays, it is an honor to enter the tower, because the person who enters is a high-ranking official, and it does not violate the laws of Qin. Now the laws of Qin have been changed, so that these two violate the laws of Qin and are illegal. Within a year, everyone in the world despised those who had done this, and the evil wind stopped before it blew. 】
Ying Fusu was not a Yue girl, but the eldest son of the First Emperor who had received the highest education since childhood. Yue Nu couldn't see the development trend after Qin's laws eased, but Ying Fusu could.
Because it was easy to understand with just one point, the evil wind written by Han Fei stopped before it blew, making him suddenly realize it. I shudder to think that in the future, women will be proud to be in the tower, and the Qin country will be swept by the evil wind of prostitution.
Bow down and bow your hands.
"Fusu heard that the imperial doctor ordered good treatment for the undiseased people. Now he is governing the country just like the imperial doctor ordered to cure the undiseased people. The imperial doctor ordered people to be cured. The teacher cured the country. Fusu is taught."
Han Fei stood up to avoid it. Ying Fusu was confused when he saw this. This was the first time Han Fei had avoided it.
This was not the first time he had bowed down. In the past few times, Han Fei had always accepted the bow first and then helped him stand up instead of getting up and ducking to show disrespect.
[This is what your Majesty is thinking about. I feel ashamed to say that I have never thought about this level. It was not originally thought that the law was the king's theory of governing the people, but the king redefined Legalism. Not what I said today, most of them are just repeating what your Majesty said. 】
Ying Fusu opened his mouth in shock and smiled bitterly for a long time.
"When my uncle killed people in front of me, I thought he was as violent as my father. When my uncle discussed Taoism with my father and taught me, I thought he was good at governing the country and the people. Today I know from my husband's mouth that my uncle loves people. No wonder my uncle saw me. Let the criminals get angry with their remarks, but love is how you should love.”
Han Fei remained silent, he had nothing to say.
Born in South Korea at the end of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, Han Fei, who grew up under the pressure of his own country's rise and had to study law, did not have much feeling for the word lover.
In the country of South Korea, he is a Korean son. South Korea is his country and his home. The direction of his thinking has always been the country, and the people are not within his scope of consideration.
From Han Fei's point of view, the purpose of abolishing towers and criminalizing obscenity is to eliminate evil habits and make the world stable and prosperous. Benevolence and righteousness to the people is a means of governing the country, rather than seeking the welfare of the people.
Everyone comes from a different background, has different experiences, and learns different things. These differences determine people’s thinking patterns, behaviors, and outlook on life.
"Did my uncle tell me how to completely ban this act that goes against human nature?"
"Human, human, human heart? Heaven, heaven, heavenly principles?"
Han Fei stumbled and asked, sitting down again and picking up paper and pen.
"good."
Ying Fusu nodded.
"Food and sex are the same as human nature. When Guanzi founded Tower, this was both in line with people's hearts and in accordance with nature, and it developed rapidly..."
Swish, swish, swish~
Han Fei didn't wait for the prince to finish speaking before writing again.
[Without heaven, there would be no natural principles. 】
The first sentence made Ying Fusu concentrate and hold his breath.
What happened at the Wax Festival had already spread to Shangjun, but the education he had experienced since childhood made it impossible for Ying Fusu to agree with the rebellious words of "against heaven".
Although Han Fei received royal education since childhood, he had been in the Chang'an Palace for so many years. Under the dual influence of Ying Cheng's mouth and practical verification, his attitude towards heaven has changed.
[People's hearts are changed by laws. Qin's private fights are based on people's hearts and can be changed with a piece of Qin law. 】
Ying Fusu knew that Zaitian couldn't understand Han Fei's point of view, so he only talked about it from the perspective of people's hearts.
"The root of food and sex lies in reproduction. This is nature. People's thoughts have their own future, which is different from private fights."
[Wrong, this is a temptation! Are there any civilians entering the building? The common people wanted to indulge in the same lust as the nobles, and they were envious of them. Guan Zhong used fame, wealth and wealth to seduce their hearts. This move can make Qi the overlord, but it cannot unify the world. Just as the harsh Qin laws allowed Qin to unify the world, they could not make Qin long-term and stable. 】
"This has been going on for thousands of years. Sir, this is the end..."
[If time is used to distinguish right from wrong, there should be no such thing as reform in the world. Long-term is not necessarily right, and change is not necessarily wrong. 】
"But change is not necessarily right. The secret prostitutes in the North are enough to prove that this is against the will of the people."
[Then create popular support! Your Majesty and Fei think this is right, but the Prince thinks it is wrong, so let's take a look at it. Your Majesty once said: Nothing is immutable. Laws are determined by the country, and people's hearts are also determined by the country. 】
"... Fusu didn't understand, but he could do it first, so he ordered a ban on the secret prostitutes in the North."
Han Fei grabbed the prince who was about to leave.
【No. The abolition of the towers and the criminalization of obscenity are enough to establish the direction of the trend, and there is no need to pursue it to the end. When the water is extremely clear, there are no fish; when people observe it, there are no disciples. 】
The Prince of Da Qin was confused and smiled bitterly.
[You are the one who builds people's hearts, and you are the one who prevents bans. What do you want from me? ]
"Sir, Fusu was confused."
[Prostitution is illegal, but it is difficult to ban it. Just as the laws of Qin were so strict, prisons everywhere were still full. The country has determined the direction of the wind, and can clean up the undercover prostitutes once a year to ensure that the evil wind of lewdness cannot blow. On weekdays, it is not necessary to provide convenience to the people, and it is not necessary for officials to take advantage of it. 】
The Prince of Qin hesitated and said:
"...Sir, do you mean to pretend that you don't know about this matter?"
Han Fei nodded gently to show his affirmation, then bent down at his desk to continue writing.
[The weather in the north is cold and the ground is freezing. The people are miserable and have little to eat. Those who serve secret prostitutes should be nobles. Your Majesty once said: Food and sex are popular because there are very few people who can play. 】
"Hunting, pot throwing, archery, musicals..."
[Hunting is dangerous, pot throwing takes thousands of years, archery requires physical strength, and singing, dancing and drama are long-lasting and boring. Now that secret prostitutes have appeared, the mahjong, Cuju, basketball, backgammon, and cards invented by your Majesty can be displayed in front of the northwest nobles, asking them to pay for their money to play. 】
"This, this, this, this..."
Ying Fusu seemed to be infected with Han Fei's stuttering. It took him a long time to finish and speak fluently again.
"Is this possible? Will the nobles provide the money?"
Ying Fusu knew what Han Fei said.
When he was not the prince but the eldest son, he always went to Chang'an Jun's Mansion and often saw Ying Cheng playing mahjong and playing cards. Therefore, in the heart of Ying Fusu, who loves learning and visiting, but does not stay in the palace for a long time, Ying Chengyu is very unlearned and incompetent.
And like the second young master Ying Gao, the third young master Ying Jianglu, and the remaining young masters and princesses who stayed in the deep palace. On the contrary, he could know how powerful his uncle was through his mother's concubine, his mother's queen, his father's attitude toward Ying Chengyu, and Ying Chengyu's lack of taboos in the palace.
Han Fei put down the brush in his hand and spoke loudly with a serious face.
"try!"
He didn't know if it would work, so he had to try it first.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, things were changing and turbulent.
Before you, the various schools of thought, have finished singing, I have already appeared on the stage. They are all trying to give a new answer to the people who are struggling to survive in this decadent world.
No one can be sure that the theory he founded will be the original answer.
If the scholars hesitate to move forward and dare not spread the doctrine without being sure of the final result, then there will be no hundred schools of thought.
…………
In the carriage, the Yue girl listened carefully to Ying Chengxuan's explanation of why the tower was abolished and why obscenity was criminalized, with little stars in her eyes.
"My husband seems to be able to see into the future."
"I can indeed do it. This is the only thing that makes me better than the heroes of the world. Success or failure all depends on this."
There was a trace of bitterness on Ying Chengyu's face.
"I thought I couldn't apply mechanically for various reasons. But watching the process of writing answers is better than discrediting the ancients who moved forward, sought answers, and kept trying. But I was wrong. Marxism-Leninism really gave me a heavy blow. .Perhaps no one in the world today is worthy of these two words."
