Given?
As soon as Fusu's words came out, the whole palace was filled with surprise and doubt.
They didn't even think about it for a moment, Du He said solemnly: "May I ask, Your Highness, what kind of reward do you mean by giving a clan?"
"I'm a little confused."
Fusu smiled and said calmly: "Since ancient times, the victor should have the attitude of a winner, but what about the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty? After the Qin Dynasty unified the world, they followed the imperial edict and went as far as the northern Xinjiang, south to Lingnan, and They were moved to Kanto and so on, and they hardly felt the benefits of being a winner."
"But how can it be so?"
"Shangjun made a decision long ago."
“Those who have merit will be honored!”
"The officers and soldiers of the Great Qin Dynasty have made great achievements, but how many of them have received great honors? Can the honors of only a few people be counted as the honors of the officers and soldiers of the Great Qin Dynasty?"
"I, Fusu, think it is not enough."
"To unify the rivers and mountains, this is a war for the whole world, even the most important war since ancient times. As the victors of the war, do they have to be silent for so long? Can't they get even the slightest glory of the victors?"
"But as the young master said before, the imperial court's finances are limited after all."
"Even if I want to give you a reward, I can't do anything about it."
"I can't give you farm and house rewards, and I can't help you with money and food. But since I can't give you actual rewards, why not give me something more generous?"
"Reward the soldiers with clans!"
"This is how you show your glory."
"What's more, what they have established is a legacy that lasts for generations to come."
"Giving a family name is most appropriate."
Under Fusu's explanation, all the courtiers came to their senses, but their expressions all changed.
Even Li Si couldn't help but change his expression.
Fusu's steps were too big and too wild.
The surname is based on the place where its ancestors came from;
Those who belong to a clan, do not divide their descendants into their own.
Since ancient times, Chinese descendants have used surnames as a symbol of family continuity.
Signs and symbols that mark a person's family lineage.
Surnames originally originated from the name of a tribe or the name of a tribal leader.
The surname refers to the surname and surname respectively.
There is a difference between the two.
The surname is Dazong and the surname is Xiaozong.
But after the Qin Dynasty unified the world, the First Emperor ordered that the surnames and surnames be unified.
Commonly known as a surname, or both as a surname.
However, this decree was not really implemented. The powerful nobles still acted on their own, and they did not really act according to the laws of Qin. The court did not really impose restrictions. Moreover, this decree was originally intended to suppress the nobles, and it could only be suppressed until noble.
After all, the people at the bottom have no surnames at all.
What about the unification of surnames?
Before the Qin Dynasty and even in the Qin Dynasty, the functions of surnames and surnames were different. Everyone could have a name, but only nobles had surnames.
Because surnames are used to distinguish between high and low, that is, the so-called "surnames distinguish between high and low."
Among the nobility, "men are called family names and women are called surnames" because surnames are used to distinguish marriage relationships, that is, "surnames distinguish marriages."
If Fusu's words are followed, wouldn't everyone in Guanzhong be able to obtain a family name in the future? How will we distinguish between noble and humble in the future? Doesn't that mean that the original system of nobility and inferiority in the world will collapse?
So what is expensive and what is cheap?
Yao Jia directly objected: "I beg to differ."
"Your Highness may have good intentions, but Your Highness should also know that Lord Shang clearly stated that those who have meritorious service are honored, and that the superiority, rank, and rank are clearly stated. In the past, surnames were the best way to demonstrate superiority and inferiority. "
"The base person has no clan."
"Even if His Majesty ordered the surnames to be unified."
"I didn't give any big rewards to the clan, I just made certain mergers based on the original ones."
"And your Highness should also know that a surname is a branch of a tribe or a clan, and it is the family name of a small clan (branch). The descendants of branches will be distinguished by surnames in the future. Their surnames remain unchanged, and the branches are based on the country, The towns, places, officials, posthumous titles, names, industries, etc. are each designated as surnames to show the distinction."
"In the division of small sects (branches), there are basic principles, which are 'the other descendants are the ancestors, and the successors are the sects', and 'the descendants are separated, and their ancestors are the ancestors, and they are themselves the sect'.
"After branching and producing offspring, he becomes the ancestor of the branch. His descendants are divided into smaller clans, and each has a surname to show distinction."
"So the surnames belong to the same lineage."
"Now that His Highness wants to bestow surnames all over the world, doesn't it mean that they will be confused about their ancestors?"
"Wouldn't this lead to chaos in the world?"
"I really don't agree with His Highness's suggestion."
"Your Highness, please think again."
He serves as a guest.
I am somewhat sensitive to these.
Therefore, he directly opposed it.
At this time, other ministers also came out to object: "Your Highness, since ancient times, surnames have had practical significance. Basically, they have made meritorious deeds and been rewarded to a place, or they have become some kind of official. Only in this way can they get a surname." It is said that the generals of Great Qin did have great military achievements, but these military achievements were achieved by millions of Qin troops, not just one person."
"Even if he is honored, it should be in the name of the Qin Army. Why should he be given the title of Qian Shou?"
"Your clan is a status symbol, how can you be so careless?"
"I really don't dare to agree."
"I hope His Highness will take back his orders."
"."
There was a wave of opposition in the palace.
No one even agreed.
The courtiers in the palace were all people with clan names. Although they did not care about clan names in the past, that was only because everyone else had clan names. However, this did not mean that they did not care about clan names.
This is the difference between noble and humble.
How can we allow it to overflow and cause disaster?
Fusu naturally thought of the courtiers' reaction.
Even when Ji Heng mentioned it, he had a look of horror on his face.
But it’s all gone.
Fusu's face remained normal, he took a sip of tea and said calmly: "I know what the ministers are worried about? But do you still remember what the emperor and ministers said at the beginning of the founding of the country?"
"China's long-standing shortcomings cannot be reborn without thorough consolidation."
"How to consolidate deeply?"
“Civilization is being rebuilt, rivers and mountains are being reorganized.”
"Today, we, the Qin Dynasty, have been ordered by heaven to unify China, so we must follow the example of filial piety to the public, merchants, and monarchs, reorganize Chinese civilization, and reorganize the country's rivers and mountains. Just as we re-created the Qin Dynasty in the past, we will recreate China."
"Last names matter."
"But the world has been changing for a long time."
"Does the Qin Dynasty still want to follow the old system inherited by the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties?"
"Why is Great Qin so strong?"
"It lies in the system of military merit and nobility. What are the benefits and harms of military merit and nobility?"
"It gives the lower class the opportunity to work hard, so that they can obtain land, houses, titles and wealth through military achievements. Moreover, Great Qin has always valued talents. If Great Qin is like the Six Kingdoms, which values family status and birth, ministers can Ask yourself, how can you be ranked above the temple?"
"The great Qin Dynasty lies in its courage to destroy the old and establish the new."
"Dare to do things that ordinary people dare not do."
"The surname system has been passed down since ancient times and has a long origin, but it is the old order after all, not the order of the Great Qin. The foundation of the Great Qin has always been the military merit system and the legal system, and the people who really care about the surname have never been you, or even They are not Qin people, but nobles who have been destroyed and are fleeing everywhere, like a lost dog."
"The existence of the surname system is a connivance to the nobility."
"In the past, Great Qin was too tolerant to the nobles of the Six Kingdoms, but what they got in return was not the favor of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms, but intensified resentment. So, why does Great Qin continue to care about the dignity of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms?"
"And Da Qin cannot tolerate these so-called nobles and powerful people."
"The world situation has changed."
"From now on, those who submit to Qin will prosper, and those who rebel against Qin will perish!"
"If the nobles of the six countries still try to resist and insist on restoration, then don't blame Da Qin for being ruthless. Da Qin will definitely destroy the glory they were proud of in the past, completely destroy their foundation, and let the nobles become a cloud of history."
"But you can rest assured."
"Even if Great Qin gives surnames, they are mostly given to the nobles of the six countries. The surnames of Qin and its ministers will not be given easily."
"Great Qin warriors should enjoy this grace!"
Fusu's voice echoed in the hall, but the hall fell into a valley-like silence.
What Fusu said does make some sense.
But the people who were given the surname were the people of Lao Qin, that is, the people of Guanzhong.
Doesn’t it mean that everyone in Qin has a clan?
Then wouldn’t their status have quietly declined?
How could they be reconciled to this?
"Your Highness." Someone came out again and wanted to continue to persuade.
But Fusu directly waved his sleeves to interrupt, and Fusu said in a deep voice: "You don't need to say more, this is a reward, and it is what the great Qin warriors deserve, and don't you think that the first two methods are actually good for these people?" Does the soldier owe something?"
“A winner acts like a winner.”
"In the past, Great Qin didn't have the energy to deal with it, but now that we have a solution, we should do our best to implement it so that the officers and soldiers of Great Qin can feel the pride and glory of being the victor."
"Perhaps you think these words of Fusu are a bit outrageous."
"But in my opinion, Fusu."
"The principles of the Qin Dynasty are different from those of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties. There is no need to be bound by it. As the saying goes, if there is no destruction, there will be no establishment. Some things have become obstacles to the peace of the world, and they should be removed."
"This is what emperors and ministers of the empire should do."
See this.
Everyone wanted to speak but stopped.
There was no opening to dissuade him anymore.
They could see that Fusu had made up his mind a long time ago and could not change his mind at all.
But they knew very well how much impact this decree would have on the world once it was issued. However, when they thought of the previous two decrees, they all fell silent, because so were the other two.
Fusu enrolled in school, became an official, and was given a family name. There was no mention of aristocrats, but everything was directed at aristocrats.
The aristocrats of the six countries were suppressed from almost all aspects, but the local officials and local nobles in Qin were also attacked at the same time. They could not imagine the sensation that would be caused to the world when these three decrees were actually issued. Condition.
I'm afraid it's an unprecedented event.
The panic of the nobles of the six countries will also reach the extreme.
The conflicts between the imperial court and the nobles of the six countries will reach an extreme.
Even irreconcilable.
They were beginning to worry now.
They vaguely felt that the world was stormy and undercurrent.
The current situation in the world may really be changing.
But where it will end up, none of them dare to say.
I'm really not sure.
Li Si did not express his opinion at the moment.
He just looked at Fusu and sighed in his heart.
Rebuilding civilization, reorganizing rivers and mountains, and bringing peace to the world. This kind of vision that transcends ancient and modern times, and this kind of mind that plays with history, he only saw in the first emperor in the past, but now it was said by Fusu, and he just wanted to do it for real. Easier said than done?
And Fusu probably didn't realize it at all.
How much impact will these three decrees have on all aspects of the world?
What impact would it have on the scholars, nobles, and powerful men? Any problem at the bottom level would be a fatal disaster for the Qin Dynasty. However, Fusu's suggestion was very accurate, and it fell accurately on the army.
The morale of the army is stable and the world is at peace.
This is the current situation of the Qin Empire.
Fusu keenly grasped this point, and with the help of this point, he conducted a violent test of the world, not only in Guanzhong, but also in Guandong, testing the bottom class, the nobles, the scholars, and the powerful. He has already Some people dare not think deeply about what the people behind Fusu want to do? What exactly do you want to achieve?
even.
He could no longer foresee what would happen after the issuance of these three decrees.
There are too many things involved and too complicated.
But there is no room for too many mistakes in this matter.
Seeing the silence in the hall, Fusu took a deep breath and continued: "Since I, Fusu, raised this matter, it will be resolved by Fusu. I have already applied to His Majesty to open a government office, but it is just to open a corresponding affairs office. To handle the implementation of this matter.”
“It’s just that it’s much more difficult to implement this decree.”
"So I might still need help from the Prime Minister's Office."
Said.
Fusu bowed slightly towards Li Sifeng Quji.
Li Si and Feng Quji did not dare to neglect, and quickly responded: "Your Highness has a need, but just ask, we will do our best."
Fusu nodded.
He had said everything he wanted to say this time.
Didn't stay any longer.
He just bowed his hands to the ministers and walked out of the hall.
A group of uneasy courtiers were left behind.
a long time.
Du He walked towards Li Si and said in a solemn voice: "Prime Minister Li, why didn't you give me some advice from the front?"
"Don't you think the three methods His Highness mentioned are a bit too shocking? Once these three decrees are issued, the turmoil they will cause to the world is beyond our expectation, and it is not even something we can solve. of."
"It concerns the stability of the Qin Dynasty, why does the Prime Minister keep silent?"
Li Si gave Du He a deep look, shook his head and said, "His Highness is determined in his mind. How can we change it?"
"Don't you really know what kind of character His Highness is?"
"And His Highness is right. Some things in Da Qin should indeed be resolved. It's just that His Highness has taken such a big step, which is indeed a bit beyond my expectation. But as His Highness said, as long as there are no problems with the army, Da Qin will There can be no chaos.”
"Besides."
"Your Highness will take charge of this matter personally."
"Since His Highness dares to praise this Haikou, he must have certain thoughts in his heart. Let us believe it first."
Du He's eyes narrowed and he said worriedly: "But there are so many people and things involved in this matter. Just thinking about it, I can't help but feel my scalp go numb. Your Highness did not have much experience in handling political affairs in the past. If it is not handled well, what will happen to you?" The negative impact caused by Da Qin will also be extremely terrifying."
"I'm really worried."
Li Si pondered for a moment, then shook his head again and said, "Young Master Du, you have served Qin for many years, but you seem to have forgotten that Qin is unique compared to the six countries."
"Disaster?"
"When has Qin ever been afraid of being in trouble?"
"The history of Qin has always been that when it is poor, it wants to change."
"And what we are pursuing is a big change!"
