In the morning of the next day, Cheng Yu expected to go to court soon before entering the palace.
Inform the eunuchs in the palace in advance and ask them to inform Lu Buwei and other important ministers not to leave the palace in a hurry after they leave the court, but to go to the side hall of Yonggong together.
Cheng Xi then went to the side hall to wait, and Ying Zheng came back half an hour later.
The two brothers chatted for a while, and Lu Buwei and other important ministers also came to the side hall one after another.
Although it was not Ying Zheng who summoned them, Cheng Yu still had some face.
Moreover, Lu Buwei and others also knew that Cheng Yu would not call them together unless there was something important.
After everyone arrived, Cheng Xi didn't waste any time. He handed the three letters from Luo Sheng to Ying Zheng to read, and then narrated the matter orally.
When they heard that the wolves were about to move south in a big way, everyone was a little surprised, but they didn't panic at all and quickly calmed down.
This was the confidence given by Qin's strong military strength.
Not to mention having a strong and continuous defense line to rely on, even if they set up a posture on the grassland and fight head-on, Qin would not be afraid at all.
Besides, the wolves may not necessarily attack Qin, the hardest bone...
However, Cheng Yu hopes that the wolf tribe will attack the Qin State. If the wolf tribe attacks the Zhao State and the Yan State, it will not be easy to operate.
In order for the Old Wolf King to attack Qin, Cheng Yu even thought that he could reveal part of the defense plan on the northern border.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo Reading recently to catch up on books, change sources, and read aloud with many sounds, and it can be used on both Android and Apple.]
The truth is adulterated, three truths and seven falsehoods, to invite you to enter the urn.
So Cheng Xi told him about the current situation on the grassland, Touman's situation and his own plan.
Everyone thought about it and thought they could give it a try.
Anyway, we will face the grassland sooner or later, so it is best to make plans early and take precautions.
In addition, everyone also mentioned some methods to control Touman, most of which use various materials, especially salt, tea, and cloth.
Through the means of material operation and control, Cheng Yu had already thought of it.
Changsheng Chamber of Commerce has been trading with the Touman tribe over the years, controlling the expansion of the Touman tribe to a certain extent.
It's just that there are no such cunning and experienced people who undermine professionalism, especially Lu Buwei, a prime minister who was born as a big businessman.
Lu Buwei, a person who has always been praised by later generations of businessmen, is really not a fuel-efficient lamp. Bad water leaks out in the business world.
Cheng Xiu has some understanding of the business world, but he only has a vague understanding of it and is not considered a professional.
Nowadays, to do business with Cheng Xi’s status, you don’t actually need to know anything about business. You’re just picking up money with your eyes closed!
After discussion, they finally decided to let Wang Jian secretly go to the northern border to take command in the spring of next year, with Cheng Yu assisting, giving the wolf tribe a big surprise.
If Touman cannot persuade the Old Wolf King to attack Qin, then a "traitor" will leak the defense plan.
Only an experienced veteran like Wang Jian can figure out how to grasp the scale of leakage and how to counterattack.
It is said that three parts are true and seven parts are false, but naturally it is very particular about which part is true and which part is false, and it will cause a chain reaction.
Cheng Xi was only half a bucket of water on the art of military affairs. He only gave some opinions but could not put them into practice.
Professional things should be done by professionals, and laymen should not give random instructions.
Otherwise, it will become a laughing stock, like how Zhao Guangyi's remote micro-management led to the defeat of the Song army, and the donkey and cart drifted during the personal expedition.
In political affairs, the same is true of Cheng Xi's habit. He is responsible for coming up with ideas and leaving the specific implementation to professionals.
You don’t have to worry about making a fool of yourself, you still have style, it saves you a lot of trouble, and you have a lot of free time.
After the matter was discussed, everyone dispersed, but Cheng Xiu did not leave any troops and was retained by Ying Zheng.
"Brother Wang, is there anything else?"
"I'm anxious to go home and spend time with my kids."
Ying Zheng said seriously: "Fusu has reached the age of formal enlightenment."
"These days, officials have been recommending famous figures from hundreds of schools of thought to me, but I don't feel confident about them."
"So I want you, my little brother, to enlighten Fusu."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yu calmed down his laziness and said seriously: "Okay."
"But it's not enough for me to enlighten Fusu. Brother Wang, you still have to take some time to teach him personally."
"It is best to establish a correct imperial mentality for Fusu, and then get in touch with the learning of various schools of thought."
Originally, as an emperor, one could lean towards a certain doctrine, but one could not be superstitious.
We should adhere to the principle of use, use whatever is easy to use, and mix it if it works best.
In fact, Ying Zheng was somewhat superstitious about Legalism. Fortunately, due to his influence in this world, Ying Zheng's symptoms were already very mild.
Ying Zheng nodded slightly and said, "I will spare some time, but the main thing is your teaching."
"When he gets older and gets involved in political affairs, I will take him with him to give guidance."
"Fine."
"Then brother Wang, please send someone to send Fusu to my place tomorrow."
"In addition, other princes and princesses must also enter school when they reach the age limit. I can open a religious school when I see it."
"When they reach a certain age, we will hide their identities and send them to the Universal Academy."
"Firstly, I will have more contact with the people below, so as not to be ignorant of the world. Secondly, I will also attack their arrogance."
The World Academy gathers the most outstanding talents in Qin, and in the future it will gather the most outstanding talents in the world.
Allowing the princes and princesses of Qin to contact them anonymously will surely let them know that apart from being born well, they are not necessarily better than others.
Coupled with strict discipline, I think they will not be arrogant and domineering, and they will not know the heights of the world.
"Well... you can give it a try."
"In addition, I think the descendants of noble relatives can also be sent to the sect you mentioned."
"Firstly, it shows the great kindness of the king, secondly, it avoids becoming a dandy disciple, and thirdly, it promotes talents for the country."
Cheng Yu had no objection and nodded in agreement.
"By the way, Brother Wang and the others don't want to teach you, right?"
"Your sons, daughters, and my nieces and nephews will also go in in the future. Don't you worry if you don't teach them yourself?"
Ying Zheng said with a smile but not a smile.
Cheng Xi: "???"
Are you kidding? Didn't he become the principal of a primary school and hang around a bunch of little carrots every day?
That's not right. They should be the principal of the elementary school and the principal of the middle school. They shouldn't be too young to let them go to the Universal Academy.
"I can open a small stove in private." Cheng Xi said with a troubled face.
"Okay, I'm just kidding you."
"This sect will be managed by Zongzheng Mansion in the future. Ordinary people may not be able to suppress them."
"From now on, after you become Zongzheng, you will also serve as the Zongxue Jijiu, and it will become a routine from now on."
"It mainly plays the role of review, supervision and selection, and the specific affairs are left to other people to handle."
Cheng Xi smiled and said: "Brother Wang is wise."
In fact, Cheng Yu knew that Ying Zheng was joking. With his status and ability, how could he serve a group of children all day long?
Let's cooperate and let the two brothers chat and laugh.
However, we can foresee that the royal family disciples, disciples of relatives, and distinguished disciples will have a difficult life in the future.
With him as Zongzheng and also serving as the sacrificial wine, which naughty boy would dare to stab someone?
If a parent treats a naughty child, he or she will have to come to apologize and then punish the naughty child again.
"By the way, Brother Wang, are all the disciples of noble relatives sent in, regardless of their direct descendants?"
"Of course, in the future, the Zongzheng Mansion will use their performance in school as an important reference for inheriting titles and dividing family property."
"In addition, in order to prevent future generations from not wanting to make progress, the title has been reduced to a hereditary level."
"The so-called virtue of a gentleman is to be killed in five lifetimes."
"Let it be set at five times. Even if it is the title of Chehou, if there is no new meritorious title after five times, it will disappear."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiu mourned for the honorable family, and at the same time was a little shocked by Ying Zheng's far-sightedness.
They had discussed a lot of reforms at the beginning, but because the world had not yet been unified, he had not had time to bring up the idea of being demoted to a higher rank.
Unexpectedly, Ying Zheng thought of it himself...
All I can say is that he is indeed Ying Zheng!
Although he was also a Chehou, Cheng Yu didn't care.
The fifth life has been a long time ago. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Why worry so much?
Qin is different from other countries and dynasties.
Female heirs can also be granted virtual titles such as county lord, princess, and princess, while male heirs must perform meritorious service before they can be granted titles.
Although they have lost their prestigious positions such as princes and princes, there are gains and losses. They can participate in politics and engage in other industries.
And no matter what, as a member of the royal family and having made great contributions, his title promotion must be relatively fast.
"Thousands of words can be put into the same sentence. I can only say that Brother Wang is wise."
"Hahaha……"
Ying Zheng raised his finger and pointed at Cheng Xi. His arms and fingers were trembling because of his laughter. The hearty laughter echoed in the hall.
There were only two brothers in the palace, and there were no eunuchs or maids, so Ying Zheng was a little more casual.
"My little brother, your title is also downgraded to hereditary. Aren't you unhappy at all?"
After laughing, Ying Zheng straightened his face and asked very seriously.
"Isn't this normal?"
"All Chehous have been demoted, but I will not be demoted. What are you saying?"
"I can't convince the public. As a member of the royal family, I should take the lead and set an example."
"Besides, five lifetimes is long enough. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, so why bother worrying so much?"
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Little brother, you are still so free and easy."
"With you setting an example, others will have no objections."
Cheng Yu laughed dumbly and said: "Brother Wang, you are trying to fill me with ecstasy soup."
"Are you the one who cares if they have an opinion?"
"What if you have an opinion? What if you don't have an opinion?"
"Aren't you going to do it?"
"That's true, but I care about your opinion."
"Since you have no objection, that's the best thing."
"Okay, I have to deal with government affairs."
"Go wherever you need to go."
Cheng Yu nodded slightly, stood up, bowed his hands and turned around to leave.
Looking at Cheng Yu's leaving figure, Ying Zheng smiled happily, and the thoughts in his heart became more determined.
Although Chehou still had to be reduced to a hereditary rank, the king did not.
When he unified the world, his title of king was no longer worthy of him, so he needed to think of a new title.
When the time comes, the king's title will be given to him. If Marquis Che does not work hard, he will not be able to retire with his country, but the king can.
You and my descendants will be together for generations, and we will live together with the country, so that we can live up to the brotherhood of a lifetime!
The specific title of the king has not been decided yet, and we will wait until the great cause longed for by the ancestors of all generations is completed.
Then Ying Zheng asked someone to come in to wait on him, bowed his head slightly, picked up the ink pen and began to deal with government affairs.
Shortly after breakfast the next day, Fusu was sent to Yonghou Mansion.
In the morning, Cheng Yu took him to meet his aunts, and each aunt gave him a gift. Fusu gained a lot.
Not to mention that Fusu and Chengyu are close relatives, but they are not related. As Fusu, he is extremely popular wherever he goes to the Qin State.
After lunch, classes officially started in the afternoon, but this class was not held in the study room, but outside the house.
The uncle and nephew changed into relatively ordinary clothes and secretly sneaked out of the mansion together.
In the Yonghou Mansion, it was too easy for Cheng Yu to hide from the followers behind Fusu.
Which one talks back? Which one dares to get to the bottom of it?
Although it is a white dragon fish suit, it is protected by an adult dragon, so there is no need to worry about any danger.
The content of the first lesson is very simple, no reading, no new words, no big principles, just watching people.
Cheng Yu took Fusu to see people in various industries and talked about the roles these people played.
Since Fusu was still young, only six years old, and would only be seven after this December, he could not understand the words that were too profound, so Chengyu could only explain it in words that a child could understand.
In front of Cheng Xi, Fusu was quite relaxed. He would never pretend to understand something he didn't understand, but would ask questions seriously until he understood.
Among the many elders, in terms of closeness and affection, Cheng Yu was the most powerful person in Fusu's heart, equivalent to half a father.
It's fun to learn with Chenglong, there are delicious food, and you can fly around. It's really attractive to children.
If a child really likes someone, it will be easier for him to agree with him.
Of course, Fusu is still young after all, and some things cannot be understood no matter how hard he explains them.
But it doesn't matter, you just need to remember what Cheng Xi said, and you will naturally understand it when the time comes.
Today's course opened Fusu's eyes...
I never thought there were so many interesting people in the world, and I was still reluctant to leave them when I returned to the palace.
However, on the first day of class after leaving the palace, it was naturally not possible to stay at the Chengyu Mansion, so I had to go back to the palace.
As expected, a large group of people were waiting.
Cheng Xi's teaching method made the elders, including Mrs. Qing, confused and felt a little unreliable.
However, Ying Zheng believed in Cheng Xi, and after asking Fu Su carefully, he finally got some clues and asked Fu Su to continue to learn from him.
Ying Zheng has made the decision, and the others don't think Cheng Xi will harm Fusu, so they plan to observe it for a while.
In fact, what Cheng Yu wants to teach Fusu is to understand the basic laws of society and even the world.
Although I have not fully understood all the rules and it is difficult to figure them out, having a little experience is of great benefit.
The most important thing is to change the way of thinking and see the essence through phenomena.
With a more advanced way of thinking, you will not be easily confused by superficial phenomena or confused by others. If you continue to study, you will get twice the result with half the effort.
As an emperor, you need the ability to see beyond the surface to see the essence, otherwise it will be easy to be fooled by the selected ministers.
Except for holidays, Fusu has been studying with Cheng Xi.
As the end of the year approaches, the two major festivals of Winter Solstice and Zhengdan are coming, and Chenglong has to attend the court meeting, which shows how important it is.
Whether festivals are important in the Qin State is important, as long as the ginseng does not participate.
The Beginning of Spring after Zhengdan is even more important, almost equivalent to the Spring Festival in later generations.
Not long after spring started, the wolves couldn't wait to move south in large numbers.
In fact, nomads usually choose to raid south around the time of autumn harvest.
It is best to do it after the autumn harvest, so that the results can be maximized.
But the wolf clan suffered a snowstorm last winter, the autumn harvest had come early, and they could not fight in winter.
You must be sweating all over in a battle in the winter. At that time, the temperature is low and the cold wind blows, and the non-combat casualties are even greater than the combat casualties.
In winter, horses are undernourished and the north is covered in snow, making it extremely difficult to march.
Coupled with other reasons, winter basically did not allow fighting in ancient times and was not suitable for fighting.
Now that the situation of the wolf clan cannot last until the next autumn harvest, they have no choice but to start spring.
This is also in line with Qin's wishes, to start early and end early, so as not to delay the pure spring plowing in the north.
Under Touman's operation, the Old Wolf King finally chose to attack Qin.
It must be said that Touman was indeed very capable and did not give Qin the opportunity to accidentally leak the defense map.
Of course, the old wolf king of the wolf tribe is not stupid either.
Attacking the Yan State, the Yan State was already bitter and cold, had insufficient food and supplies, and was quite powerful in combat.
The State of Zhao is actually richer than the State of Yan, but there is a "wolf hunter" Li Mu stationed on the northern border, making it difficult to break through Zhao's defense line.
Although the difficulty of attacking Qin is not lower than attacking Li Mu of Zhao, the rewards after success are hugely different.
Since all three bones are difficult to chew, there is no qualitative difference in difficulty, so naturally we have to give it a try!
Cheng Yu did not ignore the war on the northern border of Qin, but he also did not pay too much attention to it.
Cheng Xi has been very busy recently. He has to deal with affairs, teach Fu Su, and care for the pregnant girls.
The most important thing is that Yan Fei's due date is getting closer and closer. How can she have the energy to pay too much attention to the war in the north?
This war was doomed from the beginning, and the wolves were destined to lose.
Touman, the leader of the big tribe, has a counter-intention and secretly provides information, coupled with Luo Sheng's infiltration of the wolf clan.
The Qin army was well aware of the wolf tribe's movements.
The overall quality of the Qin army is already the best in the world, and Wang Jian is a famous general who is as stable as an old man.
If you have an absolute advantage, it will only matter if you cannot win. At most, the difference will be the result.
It's more like the wolf clan came here to give military merit to the Qin army.
It is worth mentioning that at this time, the heads representing military merit were also divided into three, six, and nine grades.
The heads of warriors from the Six Kingdoms have the highest gold content. A head is a real head.
The gold content of Siyi's heads is lower and needs to be converted.
Anyway, at this time, the four barbarians were being bullied when facing the seven kingdoms of the Central Plains.
For example, the Baiyue Kingdom was bullied by South Korea and the Chu Kingdom, and they were bullied to the fullest.
The nomadic peoples on the grassland faced Qin, Zhao, and Yan, and they lost more than they won, and they were bullied.
Although this period is not the most difficult period for Siyi, it is definitely a difficult period.
The war lasted for half a month, and 150,000 wolf warriors invaded Qin. Only 90,000 of them managed to return to the grasslands.
Some things were stolen, but compared to the losses, they are not worth mentioning.
The old Wolf King died in battle, the whereabouts of the two pearls of the Wolf Clan were unknown, and more than 60,000 Wolf Clan warriors remained in Qin forever.
In fact, the wolf people don't know that some people will be able to return to the grassland in the future.
The Qin State captured approximately 20,000 wolf captives.
The elite among them will not have their heads chopped off for military merit, and will have a chance to survive.
In addition, the wolf clan has reduced its membership by 60,000 young men, which also gives others a chance to survive, as long as there is no snow disaster again this year.
The lost young people can also be replenished by looting other tribes.
If you can win, your recovery will be faster and faster, and conversely your decline will be faster and faster.
The grassland is such a winner-takes-all world, and there is no need for a reason to start a war.
Does it have anything to do with you if I take action against you?
The battlefield is still being cleaned, but the two pearls on the grassland are being sent to Xianyang under the escort of Luowang guards...
