"Don't even think about going back to Guanzhong," Fusu whispered, a hint of heart palpitations flashing between his pupils.
He knew Ji Heng wasn't joking.
This is the condition!
Hu Hai scratched his head and asked: "Ji Heng, what are your other ideas? Also tell me, why do I feel that this is a bit of a forced sale?"
Ji Heng's body had completely relaxed, as if what he had just said had made him let go of a lot of psychological baggage.
He said slowly: "Other solutions are not in Guanzhong."
"Just in exchange."
"All this comes at the expense of leaving Guanzhong."
"Everything they had in Guanzhong will be taken back by the court."
"At the same time, they will also receive better compensation, nearly double the amount of land, and be 'officials' that they did not have the opportunity to do in the past, etc."
"Among them, those with higher titles, such as Dafujue, and those from Qin who do not change their title, can choose at will among the vacant official positions in Guandong, and can decide where to settle."
"And those with lower titles can only be arranged by the court."
"But the closer you are to a prosperous and densely populated place, the less rewards the court will give you."
"If you go to the border areas and other places, you can not only become a Qin official, but also obtain a large amount of land. At the same time, you will also be given other preferential treatment, such as reduced land rent within a few years, exemption from corvee, etc."
"At the same time, you cannot enjoy the 'enrollment' system in Guanzhong."
"I will become a stranger from now on!"
"certainly."
"If they insist on returning to Guanzhong and insist on letting the government honor it, the court can also agree, but they will be asked to wait. As for how long they have to wait, it depends on when Guanzhong can vacate those fields. It may be three years, it may be five years, or Ten years, or they may not be able to wait until they die.”
"This is also the price!"
"Guanzhong is the place where the Qin Dynasty prospered. As long as the world is peaceful, it is destined to be rich and prosperous for a long time. With every inch of land and money, it will undoubtedly become a lot more demanding to stay in Guanzhong."
"These need to be told to them clearly."
Hear the words.
Fusu and Hu Hai were silent.
Their hands and feet felt a little cold, and they were even more afraid to speak casually.
Ji Heng was a little too cold-blooded.
It is so easy to decide the whereabouts of tens of millions of families. Just thinking about it carefully, it feels very reasonable. The land in Guanzhong is fertile and known to the world. It is also the foundation of Da Qin. If Da Qin begins to recuperate, Guanzhong will undoubtedly soon will become rich.
The people in Guanzhong will also benefit greatly by then.
So if you want to stay in Guanzhong, you are destined to give up something.
This is an exchange.
Ji Heng stood up, stood with his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky, and continued: "I also said before that we should combine reality with reality. In fact, these are real rewards. In addition to these, there should be some imaginary rewards."
"What is a false reward?"
"It should be a gift of fame."
"After all, they are the ones who sacrificed their lives and blood for the Qin Dynasty. How can they let their hearts be cold in vain? The imperial court can take away the rewards that should be awarded to them, but the fame that they deserve cannot be less."
"What is this false reward sir?" Fusu asked, cupping his hands.
The more he listened, the more confused he became.
Ji Heng's thoughts were really too shocking, completely beyond his knowledge and understanding. Now his mind was at a loss and he couldn't understand it at all.
Ji Heng looked away and asked: "What does a military meritorious officer look like under Shang Yang's system?"
Fusu didn't think about it, and blurted out directly: "In order to understand the dignity, rank, and rank, the fields and houses are named according to their differences, and the clothes of the ministers and concubines are named after the family. Those who have meritorious service will be honored, and those who have no meritorious service will be rich but have no splendor."
He really knew the specific details of the Great Qin Army's meritorious titles.
Ji Heng nodded and said: "The dignity, rank, and rank in the front are already demonstrated through the title, but the honor of the meritorious ones in the back is too mediocre, or even insignificant."
"The unification of the world, these achievements are enough to be famous throughout the ages."
"This is not only the unity of the monarch and his ministers, but also the concerted efforts of thousands of soldiers. At present, most of the glory falls on the generals, but the soldiers seldom gain anything. How can this be regarded as honor for those who have meritorious service?"
"Great Qin will reward the soldiers of the world heavily!"
Fusu looked solemn and frowned: "I'm afraid it's not because the court doesn't want to, but because it really can't be done. As I said before, sir, in the past twenty years, the Qin Dynasty has used more than a million soldiers? With so many soldiers, where can the court go? The reward is coming? There is really no way to show off the name of the soldiers."
"It's not because I don't want to."
"But it's just that we really can't do it."
In the past, even in the army, rewards for soldiers were limited to those special soldiers who were "first to ascend" and "capture the flag". As for most of the soldiers, their names would not be revealed, but now Ji Heng wants Da Qin to give them to all It is simply unrealistic for soldiers to show off their reputation.
Ji Heng glanced at Fusu indifferently and said indifferently: "Ordinary methods are naturally not enough, but these soldiers of Da Qin are the winners of this world war, and they should enjoy the glory of becoming winners."
"The names of all soldiers who participated in the war to unify the world should be recorded on stone tablets."
"For the world to admire."
"Remember it in stone?" Fusu thought in his mind.
This is indeed possible.
It's just that a lot of time has passed since we have unified the world. If we do these things again, it may become a waste of people and money. Isn't this worth the gain?
Again.
Isn't this move also intensifying the hatred with the nobles of the six countries?
Fusu thought secretly in his heart.
Ji Heng knew Fusu's thoughts clearly.
The same is true for the imperial court of Great Qin. Sometimes they just think too much, look forward and backward, think about governing the world, and thinking about winning over the nobles, and ultimately end up tying themselves up.
But Da Qin is the winner.
The winner deserves to enjoy everything.
The loser, no matter how unwilling or reluctant he is, can only accept it.
Because they lost!
He didn't say much about it.
The matter of engraving monuments and leaving names for soldiers can be mentioned briefly. It is indeed not suitable for a short period of time. This project seems to be very easy, but in fact, if it is really implemented, it will increase the huge burden on the local government.
Da Qin is not suitable to do it at this time.
He continued: "Glory in the world is actually nothing more than fame."
"Make your name known to the world."
"For an individual, it is nothing more than spreading the word to the world."
"But if it's a family, it's a different story."
Hear the words.
Fusu frowned.
He couldn't understand it again.
Unifying the world is the work of the soldiers. Does this mean that the work should also be divided among thousands of families? But this is different from merit reward, so how should it be divided? How to give?
And how can the family be proud?
The most prosperous clans in Xianyang are the Wang family, the Meng family, the Li family, the Feng family, and the Yang family.
This is the reputation these families have accumulated over generations.
How can ordinary people compare?
Hu Hai's mind is now empty.
He couldn't understand it at all.
However, he was wise enough not to ask any more questions, knowing that Ji Heng would definitely explain.
Looking at the blank faces of the two brothers, Ji Heng chuckled, shook his head and said: "You may have misunderstood. The glory I am talking about is not the fame of the Wang family and the Meng family that show the world, but the simplest and most direct way. To show glory means to shine on the lintel and to shine on the ancestors.”
Fusu and Hu Hai looked at each other, both of them couldn't help showing bitterness.
See this.
Ji Heng also reacted immediately.
Fusu, Huhai and the others were born in the palace and had no personal experience of the so-called glory. All they could think about was to become famous and spread throughout the world, but they were destined to be a minority.
Nor can ordinary people imitate it.
He wanted to make the people of Qin famous, not just to make them famous all over the world. Even if he dared to have this idea, he would definitely not be able to do it. Even if Da Qin tried his best to publicize it, he would not be able to do it.
That's hundreds of thousands of people.
Ji Heng looked at the chessboard under the mulberry tree and said calmly: "For an ordinary family, the greatest honor is actually being given a family name!"
"Because clans used to be owned by nobles."
"Except for a small number of Qin people in the Qin Dynasty who have surnames, most of them have no surnames."
"It is true that at the beginning of the founding of the country, the First Emperor issued an edict that the Qin Dynasty no longer distinguished between surnames, and the nobles could only choose to keep the same. However, those with surnames mostly chose surnames. Only small sects would choose surnames, and even in private they still There is a surname and a surname, and this has long been a tacit understanding among the nobles."
"The purpose of issuing this edict at that time was actually to suppress the nobles, separate their families, and prevent the large and small sects of some big families from recognizing each other, thereby weakening the power of the corresponding nobles in the world."
"It just has very little effect."
"There are only a handful of Qin people in Guanzhong who have surnames."
"How can the nobles of the Six Kingdoms in Guandong obey the decrees of Great Qin?"
"So it's just an empty order."
"It even made the nobles of the six countries more united."
"It can be said that the gain outweighs the loss."
"Since this road doesn't work, then find another way. If suppressing and dividing the nobles of the six countries doesn't work, then 'join' and give surnames to the Qin people who have made great contributions to the world. The glory of the past nobles will be completely trampled under their feet. There will no longer be any There’s nothing noble about it.”
"Everyone has a family name, so everyone has no family name!"
Hearing Ji Heng's words, Fusu's eyes were filled with shock.
He was already a little stunned.
Ji Heng's words made his scalp numb. This attack was too cruel. This was not directly about suppressing and provoking the nobles of the Six Nations, but about completely pulling the so-called nobles from their high places to the ground and stepping on them severely. foot.
so crazy.
It’s too amazing!
"This..." Fusu was speechless for a long time.
Ji Heng sneered, brushed the ends of his hair that were blown by the wind with his hand, and said indifferently: "Do you think it's a little too shocking? The reason why nobles are nobles is mostly due to the accumulation of hundreds of years, and finally they become emperors, The princes rewarded people with clans, and the Qin Dynasty granted clans so 'extensively', wouldn't it offend all the nobles in the world?"
Fusu nodded fiercely.
He was shocked and speechless.
Ji Heng laughed loudly and didn't take it to heart at all. He said coldly: "Great Qin cares so much about the feelings of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms. Why do the nobles of the Six Kingdoms care about Great Qin?"
"This is a fight to the death!"
"Qin people are the ultimate winners of this war."
"The winner deserves to enjoy all the honors of the winner."
"The nobles of the Six Nations are losers."
"It's the enemy!"
"Since we are enemies, why should we care?"
"In the past, Great Qin was too cautious and too indecisive, which allowed the nobles of the six countries to push forward, and even made the world uneasy step by step. Now it is time for them to feel the humiliation that losers deserve."
"What do the surnames of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms count?"
“Thunder, rain, and dew are all gifts from God.”
"The surnames of the Six Kingdoms were handed down from the Xia, Shang, Zhou, and even more ancient times. What does it have to do with the Great Qin? What does the Great Qin have to do with the nobles of the Six Kingdoms when they bestow surnames on the people of Qin?"
"Great Qin wants to degrade the nobles of the Six Kingdoms to the ground from beginning to end."
"Let them lose any glory."
"after all."
"The surname of the people of Qin was personally rewarded by the emperor who was 'the three emperors with high virtue and the five emperors with merit'."
"Isn't it more honorable than the clan of the nobles of the six countries?"
"I live a mediocre life just for fame and fortune."
"The officers and soldiers of the Qin Dynasty have done so much for the Qin Dynasty, and they are rewarded with a 'family'. Is there any problem? If there is no family name, how can the Qin people treat the six countries as a victor?"
"How do you know you are the winner?"
"As for your worries, they are nothing at all."
"The dissatisfied are the nobles of the six countries, but the satisfied are the thousands of Qin people. Winning over the hearts of Guanzhong is far more practical than winning over the nobles of the six countries."
Fusu's eyes were dazed.
He still hasn't recovered yet.
The whole person was in a daze.
He kept mumbling something.
Everyone has a family name.
He has gradually understood Ji Heng's thoughts. Ji Heng did not take the nobles of the Six Nations into his eyes at all, not from the beginning to the end. He just regarded the nobles of the Six Nations as losers.
The losers must be trampled on from all angles.
So that it can truly surrender.
The reason why aristocrats are aristocrats is that they have had a prominent family background, so they are arrogant and unwilling to bow their heads easily. This will ruin these. The First Emperor tried to separate the large and small sects on his own, but it was too slow. , it was too rough, so he chose to break everything into pieces.
In exchange for the happiness of the people of Qin, the nobles of the six countries felt like they were mourning for their heirs.
This move comes out.
The pride of the nobles of the Six Nations will also be gone.
Their clans will gradually become sparse and common. Instead of being limited to Guanzhong, it is very likely that they will eventually be implemented all over the world. By then, "everyone has a clan", how can the clans of the nobles of the six countries be any special?
This is digging the graves of nobles! ! !
Ji Heng turned his back to Fusu and said in a leisurely voice: "I have said before that it is necessary to make it clear who is the enemy and who is the friend. In terms of 'clan', the nobles are the enemies. Most people other than the nobles will He is a friend of Great Qin, and the poor nobles in the world have been arrogant for a long time."
"When the so-called ancestral glory and prominent family background of the nobles of the Six Nations are knocked to the ground, the nobles will no longer be nobles. They will begin to face the current situation and integrate into the Great Qin."
"Become a citizen of Da Qin!"
"But even if it is a given clan, there will still be three, six or nine grades."
"No rewards will be given to the clans of the Qin State. The clans of the six kings and other clans will reward the meritorious people as appropriate. As for the clans of the nobles who have strong hatred and resentment towards Qin, they will reward them lavishly."
"With one exception."
"Zhao!"
Hu Hai nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at wood.
He agrees with this.
Zhao cannot reward easily.
They themselves are the Zhao family with the Ying surname. Although they chose the Ying surname after the founding of the country, Zhao has countless close ties with the royal family. How could they be rewarded so easily?
Ji Heng looked at the mulberry tree with a strange look on his face.
When he said Zhao's name, he suddenly remembered a sentence from later generations.
Do you deserve the surname Zhao? !
As a result, he practiced it himself.
Sure enough, the truth was the truth to that era.
He shook his head and cleared this slightly weird idea from his mind.
His idea actually came from Shang Yang.
This is the military merit system that Shang Yang established for the Qin Dynasty.
Everyone has a title, which is equivalent to everyone having no title.
Everyone has a surname, which is equivalent to everyone having no surname.
As long as there is one more person in the world who is given a surname, the face of the nobles of the six countries will be severely trampled until everyone dares to step on the face of the nobles and scold them with disdain. Their surnames were personally given by the emperor. Not only is it no worse than your clan, it is also more noble than your clan.
What can the nobles of the Six Nations do then?
I can only break my teeth and swallow it in my stomach.
The people are happy to hear what they see, so who do you think the nobles are if they have suggestions?
The raging public opinion is unstoppable!
The nobles of the six countries preached to the world that "the world has been suffering from Qin for a long time", but he chose to do the opposite and arouse the dissatisfaction of the people at the bottom of the world against the nobles.
Turn it into a world where the nobles are arrogant and arrogant for a long time!
If there is a fire in the rear, the influence of the nobles of the Six Nations in the local area will only become weaker and weaker.
Fusu took a deep breath.
He has closed his eyes.
Allow yourself to adjust your breath as much as possible to calm down.
What Ji Heng said was beyond his imagination and something he had never thought about. Even he felt his mouth go dry after hearing it.
madman!
A complete lunatic.
This was Fusu's evaluation of Ji Heng in his heart.
He never imagined that a person could be so crazy.
He is making enemies of all the nobles in the world.
But when I really calmed down, I had to admit that Ji Heng's suggestion was very tempting.
Everything about him is traceable.
The purpose is to alleviate the resentment and dissatisfaction of Qin soldiers towards the imperial court.
I can't be rewarded with real achievements, but I can be satisfied with all kinds of false names.
The reputation is given, and the stone tablet is named, so that the soldiers have a sense of identity and pride in the unification of the world. The 'family' is given, so that the Qin soldiers can truly feel that they are a winner, especially when facing Guandong.
This is also releasing a temptation.
Just let some soldiers who like to show off choose to go to Guandong to serve as officials. Then they can show off in front of a large group of Wu clan people in Guandong and fully show their victorious attitude.
If you don't want to be an official, after getting the family name, you can go to Guandong and be allocated a large number of fields and houses, which will also make you superior to others.
There is a sense of superiority in all aspects including psychology.
As for those who really don't want to leave Guanzhong, they will also be exposed to rain and dew.
Let them all get the same surname. In the past, the surname was exclusive to the nobility. If the head of Guizhou got the surname, deep down in his heart, most of them would think that they have reached the standards of the nobility, and then they could not help but think that their children should go to 'enrollment' and receive education. This is not a bad idea. Doesn't it provide a psychological hint?
As for those who won't let go at all, Cishi can have some soothing effect.
The imperial court could not give him everything.
But in terms of face, they were all satisfied and even flattered.
And this is also suppressing the nobles of the Six Nations.
The glory of the nobility was wiped away bit by bit until the nobility was completely invisible to others, and then the 'family clan system' that Great Qin had always admired was established.
This is a move that can affect the world.
It's just that the action is too big.
It was so big that he didn't even dare to speak easily.
a long time.
Fusu smiled bitterly, cupped his hands and said, "Sir's strategy is truly unparalleled in the world. Only when Fusu heard what he said, did he realize that his own vision was short-sighted, just like the frog at the bottom of a well."
"It's just that the matter is so important that Fusu really doesn't dare to make a decision."
"Please forgive me, sir."
Ji Heng nodded.
He never thought of letting Fusu make the decision.
He can't do it.
Fusu doesn't have the ability, let alone the courage and courage. He wants to cut off his robes from the nobles and scholars in the world, and only a determined and courageous person can do it.
Fusu can't be so decisive right now.
Even if Fusu dared to do it, he didn't dare to let Fusu do it.
Fusu couldn't bear the pressure.
How can the resistance from the court be less if only one is given a surname?
There will also be great controversy in the court when opening a new school. This kind of pressure is not something ordinary people can bear. If you are slightly weak-willed, you are likely to give up halfway or even give up directly.
Only the First Emperor can decide this.
Only the First Emperor dared to make this decision.
Moreover, Fusu's insight is indeed too shallow. He has already said so much, but Fusu is not aware of some problems. He is not only unaware, but has no reaction at all.
Ji Heng secretly shook his head.
He said: "Fusu, you think all this is too simple. If you really want to implement it, the court will have a lot of games, and the First Emperor will even make a lot of concessions. In addition, opening a 'new school' will also Well, getting Qin Zu to agree to go elsewhere will cost a lot of money."
"Da Qin doesn't have enough money to spend."
"Otherwise."
"There is another very 'tricky' thing here."
"If the soldiers take off their armor and put on official uniforms, will they really be able to do the job?"
"Da Qin has very high requirements for officials."
"Even ordinary petty officials must be familiar with 'The Way of Being an Official'. If these soldiers cannot read Chinese characters, how can they be officials? Even if these soldiers agree by then, I am afraid that the imperial court will not agree."
“There’s a lot to sort out.”
Hear the words.
Fusu smiled bitterly.
He was shocked as he looked at them before. He had never thought of this at all. After Ji Heng mentioned it, he suddenly realized that these policies were indeed shocking, but it was not that easy to implement them.
If it cannot be implemented, it will just be a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water.
Fusu said: "It's Fusu who didn't think carefully."
Ji Heng shook his head and said calmly: "This has nothing to do with considerations, but requires solid evidence to prove that these methods are feasible, so that they can be implemented."
"Can you find evidence of this?" Hu Hai looked stunned.
He really couldn't think of how to prove it.
This is impossible!
Ji Heng smiled, with a mysterious smile in his eyes, and said: "Most of them are related to money, but only for officials, the requirements are the most stringent. If you want these Qin soldiers to be officials, you must at least prove that they have the ability to become officials." The foundation of 'official' is literacy."
"But can Qin soldiers know how to read?"
Fusu and Hu Hai frowned, but they didn't know the answer.
Ji Heng said: "Knowledge, even the number of people cannot be called small."
"Why is this?" Fusu looked confused.
This makes absolutely no sense.
Ji Heng's clothes were fluttering in the wind and he couldn't help but sigh: "This is the power of the system."
Let’s do a little show these days
(End of chapter)
