The wind blows in the forest, and there is a leisurely look among the mountains and fields.
In a small village, the houses are neatly arranged, and small patches of fields are lined up behind the houses.
In the bamboo house, Luo Ling was looking at the Qin Dynasty's decrees brought back by his tribe.
He paid great attention to every political decree of the Qin Dynasty. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you be victorious in a hundred battles.
Luo Ling pondered: "The First Emperor established the old lands of Chu as counties.
I don’t know which clan prince or hero will be sealed here in the future.
If the prince of Qin is granted the throne and guards one side, our life will not be easy in the future. "
The Luo Kingdom was very clear about the advantages and disadvantages of the feudal system and the county system.
Now Luo can stay here so safely because it is still managed by the county.
It can even take several months for an order to be transmitted from Xianyang to Kuaiji. If it is to be implemented in the county or even further down, one can imagine how effective it will be.
This is the true sky high and the emperor far away. The cost of governance required by the central court is extremely high, and the governance is very rough. The central court has no time to react to what the officials below do.
But if enfeoffment is established, the core of power will change from Xianyang to Kuaiji in an instant.
When King Kuaiji wants to do something, the attitude of the officials below is naturally different from that facing the emperor.
"Master, there is news from Xianyang City."
Qiao Yun walked in from the outside and said with an excited look on his face: "Master.
The First Emperor announced to the world in Xianyang that the feudal system was abolished and prefectures and counties were established.
The princes, princes and grandsons, the heroes and relatives, cannot be sealed! "
Luo Ling was stunned and murmured: "How dare the First Emperor dare?
Isn't he worried that the whole world will turn against him? "
But then Luo Ling reacted and understood why the First Emperor did this.
This is to learn from history. The states and Zhou were divided into feudal states. In the end, the vassal states were unable to lose their power and in turn swallowed up the state and Zhou.
In addition, the First Emperor had experienced the abandonment of his father and the betrayal of his mother and teachers, which made him extremely suspicious and controlling. He did not even trust his own sons. How could he allow such a semi-independent force as the princes? What about existence?
Everything is reasonable, but it is unreasonable for the First Emperor. He took charge of the government at the age of thirteen, and successively eliminated Marquis Changxin and Marquis Wenxin. The entire Qin State's ministers bowed before him.
A top warrior like Wang Jian was allowed to run at his will. Although he had a lot of thoughts, he had no reluctance at all. The performance of these close ministers proved that the First Emperor was not a king who only relied on the blessing of his ancestors.
Then it was very puzzling that he did this. Luo Ling didn't think about why, and he mused: "No matter what the first emperor's thoughts were, this is a good thing for us.
After that, you can start to send people to test the governors and magistrates of several counties in the Jijun of Qin State and the old land of Chu State.
Keep the obedient ones, and do something unexpected for the disobedient ones. Don't let Xianyang notice.
I remember that the Xiang family was in Kuaiji County. They were local snakes, so I contacted them. "
Qiao Yun continued: "The First Emperor also issued an order requiring the old territories of Shandong to unify weights and measures, use the same track for carriages, and use the same writing for books, all in accordance with the Qin system."
! !
Luo Ling keenly felt the significance of this policy.
The only thing that can be compared to this is that in the past, King Su divided the Xia and brought all the tribes under the rule of Zhou Li.
Luo Ling sighed and said: "This move by the First Emperor is really a great achievement. The generals of Xia are even more united."
Qiao Yun could not deny Luo Ling's words, and said with a smile, "There are many people in Xianyang City who oppose the First Emperor, especially Confucian scholars. They are not only opposed to not enclosing the land.
They also opposed using the characters of the Qin State to promote the world. They believed that the characters of the Luo State should be used.
Because most of the books in the world are written in Luo characters.
There are many characters in the Luo Kingdom, which are easy to remember and beautiful. Many of the characters in the Qin Kingdom have no equivalent, which makes hundreds of students very uncomfortable. "
Everyone present raised their heads proudly when they heard this. Cultural hegemony is not just talk, and so many people are not doing it in vain.
Luo Ling and others said few words here, but the city of Xianyang was filled with bloodshed.
Confucianism seriously challenged the majesty of the First Emperor. They found fault with almost every policy of the First Emperor. They meant the same thing inside and outside their words. Now that the world is unified, the Legalist approach will not work. You have to listen to us Confucians.
We also have the idea of university, which is infinitely better than that of the Legalists. If you don't listen, you will be a monoman and you will be a tyrant.
Qin Palace, above the main hall.
One of the contemporary leaders of Confucianism, Meng Chengzheng, a descendant of Mencius, advised the First Emperor.
Under the vigorous publicity of Luo Guogong, there are many Confucian disciples studying "Mencius", no less than "Luogong Chunqiu" and "Poetry", and some are studying "Xunzi", and then learn a lot People become Legalists.
“Your Majesty, you are the Lord of Ten Thousand Chariots, shouldn’t you act with the world as your own responsibility?
The character Qin is inconvenient, but the character Luo has been continuously modified by Luo and is extremely easy to use. Isn't it obvious?
If the word "Luo" is used as the official name, countless students can become your officials. Wouldn't this be the most beneficial to your world? "
The subtext of this statement is that when we studied before, we used the Luo character. Now if you ask us to use the Qin character, we will have to re-copy many classics.
It's not right to use the bad ones instead of the good ones.
The First Emperor had no expression on his face, and the ministers in the hall were silent. When Meng Cheng stopped, the First Emperor slowly spoke: "In the past, the king of Su, King Xia, ruled the barbarians and made the barbarians adopt Xia customs and practice Zhou rites.
I have unified the world, but I use the word "Luo". I don't know whether Qin will destroy Luo or Luo will destroy Qin? "
As soon as these words came out, the temperature in the hall seemed to drop a few degrees, becoming bitingly cold.
This was the biggest problem that the Qin State encountered after it unified the world. The influence of the Luo State was everywhere. Not only the scholars of Shandong, but also the common people of Guizhou Province wanted to worship King Su.
This made the First Emperor really uncomfortable. In terms of etiquette, heaven can only be worshiped by the emperor. This has been common sense to everyone for thousands of years, but no one has ever said that King Su can only be worshiped by the emperor.
Although King Haotian and King Su were together for large-scale sacrifices, the common people worshiped King Su alone at home. Not only did Bang Zhou not prohibit it, but he allowed it to be done under Luo's secret promotion.
Of course, the First Emperor knew that the simplest way was to raise King Su's status to a higher level and completely become the supreme god.
Then it was stipulated that only the emperor could offer sacrifices, which would slowly weaken King Su's influence at the bottom.
But King Su is not a legendary figure like the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. He was only a thousand years ago, and all his deeds have been recorded in detail.
Promoting such an almost omnipotent saint would not benefit the Qin State at all, and would also be a huge blow to the emperor's authority!
I feel like I missed one thing. The protagonist's level is at 90 during the Eastern Expedition, but it will increase in the later stages. He has no bottleneck below 100.
