As one of the prominent schools at this time, Confucianism can be said to be the main target of Han Fei's bombardment. It can even be seen that Han Fei really knows Confucianism very well, and he can pick up Confucian allusions and ideas at his fingertips.
However, considering that Han Fei studied under Xunzi after all, it is reasonable that Han Fei has a relatively good understanding of Confucian intellectual allusions.
The combination of "Xianxue" and "Five Worms" shocked Zhao Si greatly. Some of the ideas advocated by Han Fei were a bit ahead of Zhao Si, a modern person.
Zhao Si didn't know the profound meaning of the book given to him by the First Emperor, but these two books had to be read together to feel comfortable.
As for what we expect Zhao Siwu to come up with...
Then don’t expect it. Very few people can understand the true meaning of the book after reading it once. Zhao Si is no exception. He is more impressed by Han Fei’s advanced thinking and advocates that the law must always seek change and cannot be governed by the same law for thousands of years. For all generations.
Many of Han Fei's ideas were somewhat radical, but they also coincided with Zhao Si's, which aroused great interest in Zhao Si.
ah!
This is the feeling of emptiness after knowledge passes through your mind!
After reading it once, it seemed a little jerky, so Zhao Si calmed down and continued to read it a second time with Wang Li's help.
After reading it a few more times, Zhao Si stopped feeling it was no longer obscure and could read fluently.
Seeing that it was getting late, Wang Li and Zhao Si had a meal together.
Today's meal is a few stir-fries.
There are meat and vegetables, wild mushrooms, beef and mutton, and a pot of broth.
Zhao Si rarely cooks recently. After all, cooking is not a particularly rare thing, and Zhao Si's cooking skills are not that superb.
It can only be said that this cooking method improves the deliciousness of food, but it cannot be said that chefs in this era are rubbish.
Zhao Si's equipment is more advanced, but when it comes to the study of fire, it is definitely not as good as the cook Wang Li brought from home.
After teaching cooking to Wang Li's cook, Zhao Si would do it himself when he was interested, but he and Wang Li basically ate for free.
At present, the two of them are sitting cross-legged.
The normal and more polite sitting posture is of course kneeling, but kneeling is tiring. Zhao Si and Wang Li have been getting along for a long time, and they are already very familiar with each other. They no longer need to be so indifferent, and they don't even eat at separate tables, brother. The two of them ate directly at the same table.
"By the way, what is your knighthood?" While eating and chatting, Wang Li couldn't help but congratulate Zhao Si again for his promotion to the third rank. Zhao Si asked Wang Li's knighthood out of curiosity.
"Chief Zuo," Wang Li replied.
"What level of nobility?"
"Tenth level noble!" Wang Li replied casually.
"Six levels higher than me! It doesn't seem like there are too many?" Zhao Si counted with his fingers. It seems that the gap between his title and Wang Li, a third-generation official, is not that big?
After all, there are twenty levels of nobility in the Qin Dynasty.
"That's not how it works." Wang Li said, and then began to spread knowledge about the Qin Dynasty titles to Zhao Si.
The 20th rank of Qin titles: Gongshi, Shangzao, Hairpin, Bugeng, Dafu, Guandafu, Gongdafu, Gongcheng, Wudafu, Zuo Shuchang, You Shuchang, Zuo Geng, Zhong Geng, Right Geng, Shao Shangzao, Dashangzao, Sichuan Shuzhang, Dashuzhang, Guanneihou and Chehou.
However, even though it is a 20th level knight, it is only for the purpose of subdivision.
The real social and political classification is actually divided into scholars, officials, ministers, and marquises.
Among them, the first four levels of titles, from Gongshi to Bugen, represent the scholar class.
He is barely considered a noble. If he goes on the battlefield, he will be among the ranks of elite armored soldiers, but he will not be able to become a general.
Starting from the fifth-level nobleman to the fifth-level nobleman, these five titles are the real ranks of the nobility and belong to the doctorate class. On weekdays, he is a true noble, but on the battlefield, he can also serve as a general and command his troops.
The nine titles from Zuo Shuchang to Great Shuchang belong to the class of Qing, which is the true sense of the great nobles. They belong to the top ranks and have the qualifications to enter the true upper class. They can be alone on the battlefield. Lead the troops and form your own unit.
As for the Hou class, it corresponds to the princes...
"In the past Battle of Yique, Bai Qi used the Zuo Shu Chang Jue to lead the troops alone." Wang Li said.
Zhao Si nodded and asked again: "Didn't you just say that Zuo Shuzhang was an official position at that time?"
"It's an official position and a title." Wang Li said.
"When Shang Jun entered the Qin Dynasty, he led the reform of the Qin State with the official position of Zuo Shuchang. At that time, Zuo Shuchang was the head of the common people of the country. After Shang Jun, the official titles were not completely separated. When Bai Qi served as Zuo Shuchang, it was An official is also a noble. But he no longer has much real power." Wang Li said.
"It's the same today. Many official positions and titles with the same name are still there." Wang Li shook his head.
"In the past, Langya Council discussed merits, and I was the official of Zuo Shuchang!"
Zhao Si nodded, probably understanding.
The Zuo Shuchang before Shang Yang's period is not the same as the Zuo Shuchang of Bai Qi. Many of the titles now still have official positions, but the power is basically gone. They are honorary positions without much real power.
"Then if I don't update, I'm not even a doctor." Zhao Si shook his head.
Today, Wang Li went out of his way to congratulate Zhao Si for being promoted to the third level in a row. Zhao Si thought that this was a direct class jump, but he didn't expect that his title was actually still at the level of a knight.
"No!" Wang Li shook his head.
"Below the rank and file, there are still schools, apprentices, and exercises... As for not changing, it is already the limit of promotion for ordinary people." Wang Li said.
"Qin uses his head to discuss his merits, but he wants the title of nobility!"
"Only those with a title count?" Zhao Si was dumbfounded.
"If you are a Jin Gongshi, you can behead three levels on the battlefield, and you can judge your merits in the school field. But if you want to go up further, you have to win a title to judge your merits." Wang Li moved forward and continued to educate Zhao Si.
"For example, public servants, school, disciples, and cao have no armor and are mostly used by auxiliary soldiers. However, the armor and weapons of the soldiers of the Six Kingdoms are not too bad. They are either among the elite soldiers or can lead several groups of miscellaneous soldiers." Wang Li smiled.
Zhao Si was a little silent when he heard this.
If you put it this way, the Qin Dynasty's evaluation of merit based on head level may not be that simple.
It's not like you get a first-level title just by killing someone.
Instead, we want to kill people who have nobility, at least a scholar. For example, for ordinary soldiers and civilians, except for merit evaluation when promoted to sergeant, it cannot be used as an evaluation for subsequent promotions.
The school, apprentices, cao, and even the lowest-ranking knights are all equipped without armor.
As for the taxis of the Six Kingdoms, even the lowest-level ones are nobles of blood. At the very least, they have weapons and armor when going to the battlefield. They are either absolute elite soldiers or the commanders of a group of miscellaneous soldiers.
As for the Qin State, for an ordinary civilian soldier holding a Qin sword, it would be difficult to kill an armored noble.
"Besides, if you don't update, you can avoid being charged as a pawn..." Wang Li sighed.
"Anyway, it's just a matter of time. It will be much easier."
Zhao Si could feel the meaning of Wang Li's words. I am afraid that it is not that simple to cross the class from scholar to doctor by relying on the military merit and title system, not just because of the title.
There is a deeper reason!
(Forget it, it’s still not updated. Zhao Si has stopped updating. When can I stop updating? Recommendation ticket monthly voting channel)
