The image of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood immediately appeared in Cao Yi's mind.
When it comes to killing, the First Emperor in front of him is much taller than Ming Taizu.
Not wanting to cause meaningless killings because of his words, Cao Yi chose to persuade: "Your Majesty has read for two thousand years and knows that killing blindly will not solve the problem."
Ying Zheng withdrew his gaze and looked at Cao Yi: "What do you think the Taoist priest can do to prevent the officials below from harming the people and the country?"
Cao Yi thought for a while and shook his head. This is a matter that has not been solved by later generations, both at home and abroad.
When officials are in positions of power, the problems they face are too complex. There are personal problems, all kinds of temptations, pressure from political performance, and relatives and friends who are eager to go through the back door...
"Then use my method." Ying Zheng looked back, looked at Zhang Han who had already walked over, and said in a deep voice: "Go to Qufu City quickly and capture the Xue County Sheriff and the Qufu County Magistrate."
"promise"
Zhang Han responded, but did not leave.
He apologized for being late for rescue, but His Majesty has not yet replied.
Ying Zheng glanced at Zhang Han and said, "Why were you so late just now?"
Zhang Han hesitated for a moment and said, "I encountered heavy fog on the way here and lost my way."
Heavy fog?
Ying Zheng looked at the sky where it had just rained heavily, with a puzzled expression.
Zhang Han continued: "When I led the soldiers out of the heavy fog, I saw a man standing on the hillside from a distance, holding a scroll in his hand. Although I was confused, I did not chase him because of time constraints."
"reel!"
"reel?"
There were two voices, one was from Ying Zheng and the other was from Cao Yi.
Both of them thought of one person-Xu Fu.
Xu Fu, there is a scroll.
"General Zhang" Cao Yi walked up to Zhang Han and asked, "Have you ever seen that man clearly?"
Zhang Han shook his head.
Cao Yi lowered his head and pondered.
After killing Xu Fu that day, I went back and searched for Xu Fu's body and tent, but couldn't find the scroll. I thought it was impossible to see it, but I didn't expect it to be delivered to my door.
These people must not be reconciled to not killing Ying Zheng this time.
We have to find a way to get them to come again.
"Ding! Mission: collect Xu Fu's scroll"
The system sound that had been silent for a long time sounded.
Yes, it’s a system task.
But this is better. After getting the scroll, you can also get rewards.
"Ding! Mission: establish Taoism and lay a solid foundation."
Here comes another system task.
This task is already in progress. After training the twelve disciples for a while, they can go out to preach. No, it should be preaching.
Even Cao Yi has thought about the place, Linzi, the nearest ancient big city.
A hundred years ago, Linzi boasted a population of more than 200,000. Although it experienced war and lost its position as the royal capital, it is no longer the same population as it used to be. Plus the surrounding population is denser than other places. As the first birthplace of Taoism, it is enough.
…
Come out of your meditation and raise your head.
Zhang Han has left.
In the western sky, the sun emerged, and a large fiery red glow lit up the sky, like thousands of red flags waving.
Moving his eyes downward, he saw corpses and seriously injured thieves lying on the ground, and faint whispers kept coming from his ears.
"ah"
A sudden low growl.
Not far away, Wang Ling, whose body was covered with arrows, pushed aside the corpse on his body and stood up.
Not dead yet.
Cao Yi subconsciously controlled the water on the ground.
After the training just now, Cao Yi's use of water has reached a certain level. It is not a big problem to kill Wang Ling who is only half alive at such a close distance.
Wang Ling slowly turned around, his hateful gaze stayed on Cao Yi's face for a moment, then moved to Ying Zheng's face, his voice was hoarse: "Tyrant, you escaped this time, there will be another time, Yan people, Chu People of the country, people of Zhao... As long as your dynasty does not perish, the resistance will not stop."
Ying Zheng didn't even look at Wang Ling and said calmly: "I'll wait."
Wang Ling pulled out the three feather arrows on his body and pointed at Ying Zheng with a ferocious expression: "Tyrant, I'm waiting for you below."
Ying Zheng turned his head, and there was a hint of weirdness on his cold face: "You want to wait for me?"
Wang Ling wanted to say more, but he fell down due to heavy bleeding caused by pulling out three feather arrows.
Cao Yi removed the collected water and said, "I'm afraid you'll have to wait."
Ying Zheng walked a few steps to the edge of the pile of thieves' corpses and said to himself: "People from Yan, Chu, Zhao... It will take tens to hundreds of years to eliminate this concept."
Cao Yi heard this and suggested: "It is better to establish a new ethnic group."
Ying Zheng froze, then turned around and looked at Cao Yi.
"Qin Clan"
"Qin Clan"
The two said the name of this new group at the same time.
Ying Zheng looked at Li Sid, who had come over at some point, with a confused look on his face, and said: "Prime Minister, I have made a decree to declare to the world that from now on there will be no people from Qin, Yan, Chu, or Zhao, only the Qin people."
Li Si was about to receive the order.
Ying Zheng raised his hand: "It's inappropriate. I'm afraid it won't have much effect."
Cao Yi suggested: "It is better to set a threshold."
Ying Zheng nodded in agreement and continued: "Only those who have military exploits, hold official positions, are literate, are good at farming, have skills, have property, and have inventions can be granted Qin nationality status."
"After becoming a member of the Qin clan, you can ride a car, ride a horse, wear a sword, wear brocade clothes, and have servants when you go out."
"The time for corvee service is reduced by half, and the land tax is reduced by 10%."
"When a son is born, give him a dog; when a daughter is born, give him a chicken or duck."
After listening to this, Li Si asked with a confused look on his face: "What is an invention?"
When Ying Zheng heard the word "invention", he pondered for a while and said, "Let's change it. The Qin people who have no military merit and inventions are not allowed to wear brocade clothes except for officials with more than two thousand dan."
Seeing that Li Si still looked confused, Ying Zheng added: "Invention is to bring things into the world that do not exist, such as pens, inkstones, wine, tripods, better brewing methods, and better manufacturing methods. The method of utensils.”
"That's it." Li Si nodded: "I'll do it now."
Ying Zheng waved his hand.
Li Si left quickly.
"Qin Clan"
Ying Zheng muttered to himself.
Disciples from various schools of thought who had been standing not far away for a long time came over with support.
The fight just now left them all injured, and they looked miserable.
"Meet Your Majesty"
Fu Nian, a scholar with a slight injury on his arm, was the first to pay his respects.
"Meet Your Majesty"
"Meet Your Majesty"
…
Disciples from various schools of thought followed him to pay their respects.
Ying Zheng looked at these people, remained silent for a while and said, "You have done a good job in protecting me today."
Fu Nian and the disciples of various schools breathed a sigh of relief. With His Majesty's words, it will be easier to talk about the thieves who appeared among them to assassinate the king.
Ying Zheng looked around, and finally his eyes stopped on Fu Nian's face and said, "Have Confucians ever thought about changing?"
Fu Nian gave a solemn salute and replied: "Confucianism will not change, the Sage King will return to the past, the well field system, Zhou rites, and the enfeoffment system will be restored to the Zhou Dynasty."
Ying Zheng's expression turned cold and he was about to make a decision.
"His Majesty"
Cao Yi came over and said a few words in Ying Zheng's ear.
Ying Zheng pondered for a while and nodded.
Cao Yi looked at the crowd and said, "In a few days, your Majesty will set up schools to teach people all over the world how to read. All Confucian disciples will attend the schools and teach children and teenagers how to read."
Fu Nian thought that Confucianism was going to be banned, and he was worried. He was very excited when he heard that with the support of the imperial court, he could teach children in large numbers and control the future.
Countless images of children and teenagers reading Confucian classics appeared in his mind.
Cao Yi added: "There are nine subjects in the school. The Mohist family teaches skills, physics, and moral character, the Legalist family teaches law, the Zongheng family teaches conversation, the military family teaches marching and military training, Huang Lao teaches health care, the medical family teaches medical skills, the farmer teaches farming, yin and yang Chemistry is taught at home, and literacy is taught by Confucianism.”
"The difficulty of teaching increases with age. During this period, each school has more or less homework."
"Some of the courses mentioned by Pindao have only scratched the surface. It doesn't matter. You can feel your way through them."
"In addition, military strategists, farmers, and doctors will set up separate classes."
Cao Yi finished speaking.
Fu Nian's face turned pale, and Confucianism only missed one literate word.
The disciples of the Zongheng family were very happy that the world was unified and they still had their own share.
The Mohist disciples were even happier. According to this classification, the Mohist schoolwork was the heaviest. I just don’t understand at all, what is physics?
Disciples from the military, farmer, and medical families were the happiest, and setting up separate classes meant they would be given more support.
Legalist disciples have begun to think about how to simplify the law so that children can understand it.
Disciple Huang Lao (later a Taoist) looked indifferent.
Disciples of the Yin Yang family all have their faces covered. What is chemistry?
