Fusu collapsed on the ground.
His expression has dropped to the extreme.
His lips opened and closed slightly, but he didn't know what to say.
Autumn breeze blows.
It was cold and desolate for a while.
The spacious courtyard was lifeless, as if there was no sound.
After a long silence, Fusu asked sadly: "Is there nothing Da Qin can do?"
"It can't be done." Ji Heng said indifferently.
He glanced at Fusu, feeling rather sad in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Actually, you don't need to be too sad. It is difficult to judge the affairs of the world. What will be the final result? No one dares to make a decision before the result comes out."
"And this is what the First Emperor did."
"You don't have to worry about it."
"How can I, Fusu, not be interested in me?" Fusu said with a bit of anger in his eyes: "This is Da Qin, and I am the eldest son of Da Qin. If you don't even care about me, then wouldn't Da Qin be completely hopeless?"
"I just can't figure it out."
"Why did Great Qin suddenly become like this?"
"The Qin Dynasty unified the world, ended hundreds of years of war, and stopped the wars in the world. Why did everyone pretend not to see it?"
"Do they only have personal self-interest in their eyes, but they can't see that the Qin Dynasty eliminated the border troubles and enabled the Chinese ethnic group to survive forever? They can't see that the county system replaced the feudal system, and the Chinese ethnic group was torn apart by internal strife and wars. What’s the benefit of stopping here?”
"The Qin Dynasty repaired roads, dug rivers and fortified rivers, expanded territories, wrote a single word, used weights and measures, and so on. Why does everyone in the world turn a blind eye?"
"Mr. Ji, you have vast knowledge. Please tell me, what did Da Qin do wrong?"
"Why did it end up like this?"
"Where did Da Qin go wrong?"
Fusu no longer had the gentleness and courtesy he had before, and his body was now a bit more violent and angry.
Ji Heng's face was as calm as a pool of autumn water.
He said calmly: "If everything in the world could be weighed by right and wrong, it would be too easy to govern the world."
"And what do you have to be angry about? What right do you have to be angry? The First Emperor hasn't said a word yet, so why is it your turn to be so angry?"
"The general trend of the world is that Great Qin will perish!"
"I said before when I was in prison that Zhou Qin was a major change in the world."
"The evils in the world are getting worse day by day, and the situation has to change."
"Then we talk about the main conflict between Guanzhong and Guandong. The main conflict is that the leaders of Guizhou have not gathered and the old nobles are rebelling against the law. However, this is only a conflict between Guanzhong and Guandong. There are also many problems within Guanzhong, even as much as the conflict between Guanzhong and Guandong."
"The changes between Zhou and Qin are too great!"
"Since the founding of the Qin Dynasty, problems have been emerging."
"The county system and the feudal system are one of them."
"The policy and attitude towards the nomads on the frontier is the second."
"The form of political power under centralized power, taxation and economy, the formation and interpretation of national consciousness after the Qin Dynasty integrated the world, etc."
"This is something that Daqin urgently needs to solve."
"However, Great Qin has no energy and no time to solve it. All of Great Qin's attention is on suppressing the restoration of the Six Kingdoms and the in-depth implementation of the prefecture and county system. This also means that Great Qin unified the world and not only failed to solve its own problems. Accumulated shortcomings have also brought about more serious problems.”
"I respect the First Emperor very much."
"In my eyes, the First Emperor is a great man."
"He was driving a political carriage that was seriously aging and even corrupted, but he was able to use his strong willpower and strong insight to make this nearly collapsed chariot burst out with incomparable astonishing power. , and then achieved the goal of swallowing up the world, these actions are truly admirable and shocking."
"But you have to admit it."
"The First Emperor took over a country that had lasted for more than five hundred years, a country with a level of corruption and accumulation of contradictions that was no worse than any country in the world."
"The disadvantages of the Six Kingdoms are also present in the Qin Dynasty."
"even more."
"Because the Qin Dynasty established the country based on law."
"After experiencing the chaos of the 'Four Nobles', namely Ranghou, Huayang Lord, Jingyang Lord, and Gaoling Lord, the legal system of Great Qin has collapsed on a large scale."
"And at the beginning of the First Emperor's accession to the throne, there was still the dictatorship of Lu Buwei."
"Lu Buwei advocates 'lenient government and suspended time'."
"During those years of 'easing government and suspending the administration', Daqin's countryside spawned a large number of 'tired people' who did not cultivate crops and only talked about right and wrong. The Shiwu Lianzuo was almost abolished, and powerful families began to blatantly shelter fugitives. Those who are tortured will be made slaves and slaves of peasants."
"Da Qin's legal system has been further corrupted."
"A lenient administration and a suspended sentence appear to be benevolent policies and royal principles."
"But if you think about it carefully, you will know that most of them are lenient to the nobles and lenient to the princes. How many people at the bottom are truly lenient?"
"Shang Yang's laws are indeed severe."
"But they have made clear rewards and punishments. The same laws apply to the noble and the humble. The punishment for the nobles is more severe than for the lower class. After more than a hundred years, the people of Old Qin have actually become accustomed to strict laws, and very few people violate the laws."
"With the reprieve of the lenient policy, Da Qin's heart has fermented and become fluffy."
"The teachings of the Dharma are righteous, and people's hearts are righteous."
"If the law is not upright, people's hearts will be scattered."
"If I want to make things right again, it will take too much time and energy."
"When the First Emperor came to power, he tried to restore Shiwulianzuo, but he met with opposition from both the government and the public, and even local people opposed it. In the end, the First Emperor made a compromise."
"It is understandable that the nobles are opposed. After all, not only do they lose their fiefdoms, but they also have to follow the same laws as the people. Naturally, they are unwilling to do so. But the common people at the bottom have nothing to lose, so why not do it? But they also follow the nobles The booing shows that the imperial court’s control over the lower classes has weakened, and the lower classes have been confused and confused by people outside the imperial court.”
"The breakdown of the rule of law."
"In the end, it also led to the collapse of the military merit system."
"The two really share weal and woe."
"Shang Yang is an inhumane person."
"The military merit and title system and the legal system he established are just to force the lower class to fight to the death. However, under Shang Yang's legal system, there is a clear provision that people with a title can have a certain reduction in punishment after breaking the law. "
"So after Shang Yang's reform, everyone in Qin fought bravely to kill the enemy."
"If I remember correctly."
"Before Shang Yang's reform, he had a conversation with Duke Xiao of Qin, in which he mentioned this."
"The law cannot be changed? It cannot be suspended? It cannot be reduced? It cannot be amnesty?"
"The answer is no!"
"Because the system built by Shang Yang is a relatively complete system, it relies on merit rewards to inspire the fighting spirit of the lower class and make them willing to fight and pay. However, many people have overlooked one point. Shang Yang's laws are very harsh and even harsh. .”
"Why?"
"There's a reason for that."
"Because Da Qin's national power is not strong enough to support this system."
"Hence the need for people to break the law."
"Because the law also stipulates that ministers and prisoners who have achieved military merit can restore their status and even obtain titles. This gives ministers and slaves an upward motivation. Da Qin relies on the so-called 'harsh laws' ', to continue to maintain this high-cost system, and in the back and forth between military merit and the law, Daqin's administrative costs are very low, because once people break the law, they will be severely punished, and if they want to restore their status, they have to pay almost billions Twice the effort.”
"This is why the gap between Qin and the other six countries is gradually widening."
"Because Da Qin relied on this system to not only reduce administrative expenses, but also to save a lot of money and food, and its national power became stronger and stronger."
"And under this system, Da Qin is strictly about survival of the fittest."
"As long as you have the ability, you can definitely go up."
"As long as you abide by the law, you can basically be stable for the rest of your life."
"After more than a hundred years, most people in the old Qin Dynasty have indeed become accustomed to purification."
"But Qin is getting stronger and stronger."
"The reason is actually very simple, because there will always be young people."
"As for those who are older, they are no longer of much value to the court, so you should be able to understand now why Da Qin's encouragement of childbearing is almost paranoid."
"It is even stated in the law that those with less than 10,000 households will be county magistrates. Once the number of households exceeds 10,000, they will be directly renamed county magistrates, and their annual rank will jump directly from three to five hundred dan to six hundred To a thousand stones, the difference in annual rank is exactly double."
"That's why."
"Da Qin relies on more and more new generations to reduce administrative costs."
"Shang Yang's system is extremely complete."
"As long as Da Qin continues to implement it steadfastly, there will be few internal problems in Da Qin. However, with the 'Four Nobles' chaos in the law' and Lu Buwei's 'lenient administration and reprieve', many laws in Da Qin have been lightly sentenced or even openly abolished. This has led to a significant increase in the cost of Da Qin’s political power.”
"Da Qin needs to pay more money and food."
"After the First Emperor came to power, Shang Yang's system showed signs of collapse. Under this situation, the First Emperor still relied on his strong will to forcibly unite the forces of all parties, and also forcibly consolidated the bottom Mobilize and penetrate Zongqin's waist in one fell swoop, achieving the goal of swallowing up the whole world."
“It’s just that there’s a price to pay for all this.”
"The price is the reward!"
"Da Qin simply cannot afford that much land, nor that much money and grain."
"Right now, I can still suppress it with the supreme prestige of the First Emperor."
"Once something happens to the First Emperor, or if the First Emperor cannot suppress it anymore, the anger from the bottom will burst out and the Qin Kingdom will be destroyed in an instant."
"No one can stop it."
"This is why I said before that the most powerful people in Da Qin in the future are the prisoners, because only these people really hope that Da Qin can win, because they need military merit to restore themselves to their normal status."
"It's just that more low-level people in Guizhou don't know how to do it."
"Because the people have lost their support!"
Ji Heng sighed softly and said slowly: "Da Qin is currently facing internal and external difficulties. Not only does it have to deal with the collapse of the legal system of military merit and nobility internally, but it also needs to deal with the failure of the Guizhou leader to gather and the chaos of the old nobles outside. And the new dynasty has just been established, and it also needs to deal with the new dynasty. problems arise.”
"These problems have crushed Great Qin!"
"Now do you know how serious the situation Daqin is facing?"
"So I admire the First Emperor very much."
"In the face of this kind of pressure, we can still manage to survive."
“It’s amazing!”
Ji Heng took a long breath and was filled with emotions.
