partition.
Fusu was thoughtful.
He had understood everything.
Wang Wan's suggestion was to temporarily enfeoff Da Qin to win over the people.
The reason why Ji Heng said so much was mainly to clarify the benefits of enfeoffment.
Zhou Gongxing enfeoffed the feudal lords in four directions, making the Zhou royal family the only one in power and completely consolidating the world.
The King of Zhou has since become a veritable Emperor of Zhou.
The princes in various places adapted their measures to local conditions, governed according to customs, and obeyed the people's hearts. They not only realized the expansion of territory, but also spread the system promoted by Zhou Gong throughout the world.
Da Qin can also follow suit.
The world has been fighting hard for a long time, and Guandong is even more exhausted. If the Qin Dynasty entrusts its children to the four directions and allows them to govern according to customs and win back the people's hearts, the imperial court can rest and recuperate in the next few decades. After the people's hearts in Guandong are restored, the imperial court will be abolished. Enfeoffment, completely taking back authority.
Then achieve great governance in the world!
This is the thought.
Fusu had already made a move.
This temporary enfeoffment proposal is indeed the most practical.
Change your mind.
Fusu frowned.
Wang Wan's suggestions are not considered incomplete, and they fully draw on the experience of the Zhou Dynasty.
If implemented, there is much potential.
But Ji Heng could see the benefits, how could Shihuang not see the benefits?
However, the reality is that the First Emperor not only did not listen to Wang Wan's suggestion, but instead insisted on implementing counties and counties despite all opinions. Why is this?
Fusu lowered his eyebrows and thought.
He knew very well that there must be a reason why the First Emperor did this.
He thought about it in his mind and found no clues in the bamboo slips he had read in the past few days.
Fusu smiled bitterly.
Now, he understands.
He did read a lot of information, but in reality he only scratched the surface.
The doorway in the dark is not involved at all.
If Ji Heng hadn't explained it, I would have been completely unaware of it.
And this may be a common situation. After all, who can be promoted to the court, how can there be any idle people?
There is a mystery in every word and every action.
He still has a lot to learn in the future.
Fusu thought about it for a while, but finally gave up.
He really couldn't think of the reason why the First Emperor did this.
Fusu stood tall and said with a bitter look on his face: "Fusu, you don't even understand the most basic political strategy. How dare you talk about kindness in the past? My father has taught you a lesson more than once. , everything is a matter of life and death, if you were interested in it in the first place, how could you not be aware of it now?"
the other side.
Hu Hai scratched his head and said hesitantly: "Is enfeoffment the right thing to do?"
"But didn't you say before that Qin is different from Zhou?"
"And if enfeoffment really has so many benefits, how could the First Emperor not adopt it?"
Ji Heng chuckled lightly and said: "You are right. If enfeoffment really has so many benefits, how could the First Emperor not adopt it?"
"Furthermore, Wang Wan's suggestion has the support of almost the entire government and the public. With the talent of the First Emperor, I'm afraid he saw the advantages early on."
"But what did the First Emperor do?"
“The First Emperor chose a system of prefectures and counties that was at odds with the government and the opposition.”
"The reason is what you mentioned."
"Qin is not Zhou!"
"Zhou can enfeoff, but Qin cannot."
"Wang Wan thought carefully, but he ignored one point, which is also the most critical point."
"Da Qin is different from Zhou!"
"What's the specific difference?" Hu Hai said in a condensed voice.
Ji Heng took a long sip of wine, with a cold expression on his lips, and asked, "What does the Emperor of Zhou rely on to rule the world?"
Hu Hai was stunned.
Why are you still asking yourself this?
partition.
"It's a gift!" Fusu's face turned a little pale.
Ji Heng said indifferently: "It's a gift."
"What is etiquette?"
"Etiquette is something that shows the dignity of a noble."
"The feudal princes of Zhou Dynasty are all nobles. They are naturally willing to use this system to show their noble status and establish their prestige."
"But Qin is different."
"Qin is the law!"
"Etiquette belongs to the upper class nobles, but law belongs to the lower classes."
"Etiquette only needs to be accepted by the upper class nobles, but law requires everyone in the world to accept it."
"Etiquette can be governed by customs."
"Because etiquette is not inferior to common people, and those who can perform etiquette are nobles."
"As long as the nobles accept it, it doesn't matter whether the people at the bottom accept it or not."
"Because people at the bottom have no manners."
"Treatment based on the customs will not cure the people at the bottom."
"The 'Zhou Li' advocates the position of the king and his ministers, the distinction between high and low, and the equality of superiority and inferiority. These are only among nobles."
"This approach is easily accepted by the local barbarian leaders. As long as they are not too demanding and are given enough respect and status to these barbarian leaders, they will be happy to integrate into the Zhouli environment."
“So governing according to the customs can bring people’s support into submission.”
"But the method doesn't work."
"If the law is governed by customs, it will be the same as having different laws in different places."
"Everything in the world will still be different by then."
"Even if there is no turmoil, these abnormalities will be completely stabilized. Even if the imperial court abolishes the feudal system in the future, the situation of different laws and regulations has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and has long been accepted by the world. By then, it will be as difficult as trying to 'unify' sky."
"Qidi is rich in fish and salt and has a lot of commercial taxes. It can reduce agricultural taxes."
"Rebellions are frequent in the Chu region. They should be governed according to the customs and should be punished lightly."
"The land of Zhao is resentful of Qin and governs according to customs, so it should be treated leniently."
"There are also many knights in the Yan region, many private schools in the Wei region, and many romances in the Han region."
"If you choose to govern according to customs in order to attract people's hearts, you will definitely benefit all places."
"This move has certainly won the hearts and minds of people everywhere, but who would consider passing Guanzhong?"
"Confucius once said that people do not worry about scarcity but inequality!"
"The people of Guanzhong followed the Qin Dynasty to conquer the world. They were the victors, but in the end their lives were worse than those of the defeated people. What would they think?"
"Perhaps the imperial court can add all six places to Guanzhong due to customs."
"But in this case, did the Qin annihilate the Six Kingdoms, or did the Six Kingdoms annihilate Qin?"
Hear the words.
Hu Hai's face changed suddenly.
He quickly said: "Qin destroyed the six kingdoms."
Ji Heng chuckled lightly and said, "Never mind that for now."
"Just say that all the six places have been imposed on Guanzhong due to customs, which also means that Guanzhong has to change its laws and regulations. After all this tossing, whether the court can pass, whether the court can bear the consequences, and whether the people of Guanzhong will be satisfied, I don't know, but Guanzhong will definitely It will collapse on itself.”
"If Guanzhong remains unchanged and the six regions are governed according to customs, the laws in the six regions are loose, but today the next country will not make the people of Guanzhong yearn for it?"
"So no matter what we do, once Da Qin chooses to govern according to customs, it will shake the foundation of Guanzhong."
"Because the foundation of Great Qin is the law!"
"How can the law be changed lightly?"
"That's why the First Emperor firmly implemented the system of prefectures and counties."
"Da Qin has no choice!"
"Governing according to customs is not suitable for Da Qin."
"Da Qin can only resolutely choose the 'great unification' route."
"But that's another problem."
"The 'Great Unification' promoted by the Qin Dynasty was indeed beneficial to the country and the people in the eyes of the Qin people, but in the eyes of the people of Guandong, these policies were undoubtedly tyranny."
"So in the eyes of the world, the violent Qin is not just about laws and regulations."
"There is also a great unification!!!"
