Chapter 625: Controlling the People

Under the influence of the government officials, not to mention the captured naval officers, even the officers and soldiers of Lantian Camp all hoped that they were the captured ones.

Thirty taxes - Although the Qin State is also like this, in addition to the taxes in Xianyang, there are also taxes from various places, including princes, royal families and ministers. In total, although it is not high compared to the vassal states, there are always some comparisons, right?

The most important thing is that you can enter the school for free and have scholars from hundreds of schools of thought teaching you knowledge!

"Actually, Xian is also very curious about how your Majesty persuaded the heads of hundreds of families to let their disciples come!" Chen Xian had actually always wondered how Jin Yao persuaded those arrogant heads of hundreds of families.

"It's very simple. I told them that if you want to become a prominent scholar in the world, you must not only have enough knowledge, but also have enough disciples!" Jin Yao said calmly.

Hundreds of schools of thought have locked themselves into a dead end, believing that the classics should not be passed down lightly, so they cherish themselves and forget that academic development actually requires constant collisions and enough scholars to promote it.

And Jin Yao opened this door for Baijia, allowing Baijia to open schools and recruit disciples within the jurisdiction of Longcheng.

The condition is that Baijia must send enough scholars to each township to teach the villagers to read and practice calligraphy.

Correspondingly, in the villages where these hundreds of scholars are located, they can also give priority to recruiting promising disciples, and other families are not allowed to interfere!

The heads of hundreds of families are all human beings, so they naturally understand the key to this.

Hundreds of schools have always waited for talented disciples to come to study, but how can those at the bottom of the list compare with Confucianism, Taoism, Dharma, and Mo... these famous people who are famous all over the world.

Confucianism, Taoism, Dharma and Mo... These people can sit at home and wait for talented disciples to join them, but those small sects cannot.

Even like the corpse family, you go and tell people, come on, join my corpse family.

People's first reaction is, Corpse house? They can't be the ones who drive corpses? They deal with corpses all day long, right? They ran away decisively before you could introduce them. And those children with talents are just children after all, and they are not given this name.

It's not bad to be scared to tears and have nightmares, let alone join your corpse family.

However, when Shijia scholars went into rural schools and taught the villagers to read and practice calligraphy, and then told them that Shijia was actually one of the branches of Legalism, or even one of the predecessors of Legalism, the resistance of the villagers disappeared.

Naturally, I am also willing to let my children join in.

"Actually, this is also to save Confucianism, Taoism, and Mohism from showing off their learning!" Jin Yao thought in his heart.

Naturally, he did not forget that he was a disciple of the Mohist family and wanted to save the Mohist family.

As long as this method is successfully piloted in Longcheng, it can be implemented throughout the world in the future. By then, Confucianism, Taoism, and Mohism will have opponents, and the threat to the rulers will be reduced, and they will no longer be

against.

And hundreds of families have the soil to survive, fight and contain each other, and can better bloom their own brilliance, instead of slowly dissipating in the long river of history.

"Why didn't you bring in Confucianism, Taoism, and Mohism?" Chen Xian was even more curious about this.

"First of all, people with big careers look down on Little Dragon City. Secondly, I did it on purpose!" Jin Yao said with a smile.

Only when those small families and factions grow up will everyone feel a sense of crisis and make up their minds to change instead of focusing on the political power.

Why Confucianism can overthrow hundreds of schools of thought and only respect Confucianism is because the rulers need to unify their thoughts and implement strategies to fool the people, which is actually not accurate.

The fundamental reason is that after the end of Qin and the conflict between Chu and Han, hundreds of schools of thought were lost, and there were not many that could compete with Confucianism.

If Han Wu deposed all schools of thought and only respected Confucianism, he would have to face not only Taoists, Huang Lao, and Legalists, but also Mohists, famous scholars, Zong Heng, etc. No matter how much courage Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gave him, he would not dare to do so at the same time.

Provoked so many noble people.

Because once these hundreds of schools grow up, disciples will fill the court, further compressing the living environment of Confucianism, so that Confucianism can no longer monopolize the court. In this way, if there are still Tietou boys who dare to dominate the court, then

It will be besieged by scholars from all schools of thought, and the court will be in a state where no one can use it.

Especially if the Mo family and the political advisors were alive, even if there were ten Dong Zhongshu, who were extremely powerful, would it be enough for the Mohist family and the political advisors to assassinate them? Not to mention that the scholars of this era were all powerful men who were willing to be civilized and military.

By that time, Dong Zhongshu would probably have just finished deposing all schools of thought and only respecting Confucianism, and his body would be hung in front of the palace the next day.

It may not even be Bai Jia's fault, the ruler will be the first to kill this guy who disturbs Chao Gang!

It can only be said that because all the schools of thought during the reign of Emperor Wu had declined, most of the officials in the entire court were monopolized by Confucianism.

If you look at the First Emperor, you will know that at that time hundreds of schools of thought were still powerful. If Chun Yuyue was to be killed, Chun Yuyue would be killed. How dare the Confucians say a word?

"What do Zixian think of Lord Shang's five skills of controlling the people?" Jin Yao suddenly looked at Chen Xian and asked.

"Legalism's Five Skills of Controlling the People?" Chen Xian frowned.

The so-called five techniques of controlling the people are the five methods of controlling the people proposed by Legalists to maintain the supremacy of royal power.

One, one people, unified thinking.

Second, if the people are weak and the country is strong but the people are weak, the strategy for governing the country should be based on the weak people.

Third, the people are tired, looking for things for the people, and tired of running around, so that the people have no time to take care of their affairs.

Fourth, humiliating the people: firstly, they have no self-esteem and self-confidence; secondly, they instigate each other to report and expose each other, and live in fear all day long.

5. The poor are deprived of their remaining necessities except for the necessities of life. They are poor and have short ambitions.

If the five of them don’t work, kill them!

"I don't dare to say it, and I can't say it!" Chen Xian shook his head and kept silent, not daring to talk about it.

Although the Five Techniques of Controlling the People were proposed by the Legalists, they are recognized by all schools of thought and are believed to be the best means to maintain rule.

Jin Yao sighed, he just wanted to destroy the Five Arts of Controlling the People before they completely became the method of governing the country in China.

Although these five techniques of controlling the people are indeed the best way to maintain rule, no matter which one is used, there are advantages and disadvantages.

The unification of thoughts led to the creation of Confucianism alone, and the development of people's thoughts being imprisoned.

As for the weak people, the people are the foundation of the country. If the people are weak, can the country be strong? Don't you see that wealth lies in the people, and if the people are rich, the country will be rich?

As for the latter three, look at the Yuan Dynasty's classification of human races and Yao Qing's policy of thirty-three taels of silver to understand the consequences.

If China wants to remain at the top of the world, it must not let the control of countless people become a common tactic of rulers. Otherwise, it will be invincible to foreign enemies and the country will be destroyed.

Not all rulers have enough ability to display the five skills of controlling the people. Once they fail to grasp that degree, a powerful country will only be reduced to a human hell, and the people will have no way to live.

Especially the last method of the poor, once a major disaster occurs, the entire country will instantly turn into a hell on earth, because the people have no extra money, food and property to survive those unexpected disasters!
