He adheres to the Qin system, adheres to the Qin military merit conferment system, and adheres to the clan system that Qin officials have always believed in.
It’s not that he doesn’t recognize the distinction between high and low.
But from beginning to end, I never felt that the scholars present were "expensive"!
In Qin Luoheng's eyes, nobles built pillars in front of their doors based on their military exploits. The clans whose achievements were recorded on the pillars were the nobles sought after by the Qin people.
Such as the Wang family, Meng family, Yang family and other clans!
He simply did not agree with the popular saying in the third generation that he was born to be a noble person and was born with a noble stomach, so others maintained their noble status. However, in Qin Luoheng's eyes, except for a few of the scholars present, they were all the same.
He is just an ordinary scholar!
and……
Zhang Liang turned around and took a deep look at Qin Luoheng. He had a feeling that Qin Luoheng's words might have been said on purpose. He was not saying it to the scholars present, but to the outside observers.
ordinary people.
He wanted people to know this truth.
The era of being born a noble person and having a noble stomach has been trampled under the feet of the Great Qin and will never exist again. Under the system of the Great Qin, there is one and only one type of nobles respected by the world, which is the clan. These are accumulated through generations of military achievements.
A military family!
Zhang Liang's mood was ups and downs.
He has it all figured out now.
They called this event the "Great Governance Conference" and thought that this event was to discuss the ideas of governing the country. However, they did not know that Qin Ting, Qin Luoheng, or the First Emperor really wanted to establish a new civilization.
.
A new civilization that is completely free from the influence of the three generations of kings.
Think of this.
Zhang Liang was so shocked that he could not speak.
His chest was heaving violently, and he was breathing slightly. He didn't know when to clench his hands, and there was already a turbulent wave in his heart.
He looked around.
Among the ninety-six scholars present, only a handful were as enlightened as he was, and most of them had anger on their faces.
They just felt humiliated.
They believed that Qin Luoheng was deliberately suppressing their background in order to achieve the effect of humiliation and threat.
Qin Yi swept Liuhe.
Even if others are dissatisfied, they cannot speak out to defend themselves.
Because what Qin Luoheng said is true.
It's just too invasive.
It's hard to accept for a while.
After a commotion, He Yao couldn't help but stand up and said:
"Dr. Qin, this is wrong."
"The reason why we became nobles is because our ancestors sacrificed their lives and shed their blood in exchange for it. Why should we let you abandon us like old shoes? Have our family never done anything good for the country and the people? Do we only have to do good things for you, the Qin Dynasty?"
Can it be called meritorious service?"
“Dr. Qin’s words are absurd!”
"What a mistake!"
Qin Luoheng said calmly:
"This grand gathering is only about knowledge, regardless of family background."
"Your fathers and ancestors have indeed made achievements. No one will object to this. This is also the reason why you can have rich clothes, fine food, and well-read scriptures. However, times have changed and it is no longer the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties. The glory of the past has finally faded.
It’s a thing of the past.”
"The sword of the previous dynasty cannot kill the officials of this dynasty, let alone the achievements of the previous dynasty?"
"The imperial court has always respected those who have made contributions to China, but that is respect for your fathers and ancestors. Perhaps the imperial court will choose some of Yu Yin's descendants, but they are destined to be a minority."
"China has been around for thousands of years."
"In its long history, China has produced too many talented people with lofty ideals. If they were all left behind, I'm afraid no dynasty would be able to withstand it."
"Today, everything is waiting for success. You are full of knowledge. If you join the court and make achievements, it will only be a matter of time. Why worry about not being able to continue the glory of your family? Why continue to lie in the shadow of your ancestors and not make progress?"
He Yao's face was ashen.
Official in Qin?
He was a noble official in South Korea, but he could only start his career as a petty official in the Qin Dynasty. How could he be willing to do this? How could he be willing? A dignified Korean official would become a small official in the Qin State. If word spread, wouldn't he become a degenerate man?
For the sake of the world’s laughing stock?
He Yao snorted coldly and sat down with his sleeves rolled up.
Although he wanted to argue, he couldn't argue about this kind of thing in this situation. He couldn't possibly reveal that he was a Korean doctor, so he could only choose to swallow his anger even though he was unwilling to be filled with anger.
The others also knew this, so they all remained silent.
At this time.
Someone on the outside helped them out.
A Confucian scholar held a big iron trumpet and said loudly: "I dare to ask Dr. Qin. Everyone knows that politics is not divided. Why should politics be separated this time? In those days, whether it was the Xihe School or the Jixia Academy, when a hundred schools of thought contended, politics
But they have never been separated."
Qin Luoheng said expressionlessly:
"Because it's due."
“This event is really about the contention of a hundred schools of thought.”
"But there is still a big difference between the Xianyang Festival and the Hundred Schools of Thought."
"The contention of a hundred schools of thought was about the governance of the country that would end the chaos. At that time, the world was in chaos, attacking each other, and fighting fiercely. Therefore, the focus of the hundreds of schools of thought was mainly on quelling the chaos in the world."
“The main battle is about political opinions!”
"But Qin is different."
"Qin has achieved the completion of six kings and unified the world, so naturally there is no need to discuss the governance of the country."
"I know you have different opinions on this."
"But after the contention of a hundred schools of thought, people from hundreds of schools of thought successively became officials. In the two to three hundred years of conquest, Qin finally stood out, swept the six kingdoms, and unified the world. Therefore, the best way to govern the country is undoubtedly the rule of law.
.”
"The Qin Dynasty unified the world by taking law as its main priority. This cannot be argued with."
"There's nothing to argue with."
"Because during these hundreds of years, hundreds of schools of thought tried their best to use their talents, but in the end they were unable to stop the Qin Dynasty, which allowed the Qin Dynasty to conquer the world with its overwhelming force."
"You may be eloquent."
"But it is a fact that Qin became strong because of the law."
"Facts are always louder than eloquence. Even if you are eloquent and eloquent, you cannot change the world. Among hundreds of schools of thought, only Legalism has contributed to the unification of the world."
“It’s also the only one right now!”
"As far as the current situation is concerned, there is no need to argue about the governance of the country. Any arguments for debate are nonsense, completely based on imagination and unrealistic."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "It is based on this."
"This civilized governance is about national governance, not the way to govern."
"Great Qin has been a country for five years. During these five years of governance, Great Qin has undoubtedly made many mistakes and gone through many detours. This is actually inevitable. Many of these mistakes are actually avoidable.
But it’s inevitable.”
"why?"
"The reason is actually very simple."
"Great Qin was the first country to achieve great unification."
"There's no reference."
"Everything can only be explored by oneself."
"Over the years, Da Qin has been following the methods of governing Qin to govern the world, but in many aspects it is obvious that it is no longer in line with the current times."
"Before the world was unified, Qin only had a few counties."
"The governance at that time was far less complicated and changeable than it is today. If there are no accidents during the delivery of government orders, they can be easily delivered in three to five days. Today, Da Qin has thirty-six counties, and its vast territory is the largest in ancient and modern times!"
"But that's why."
"Many governance policies will inevitably go awry."
"It has even aroused local people's anger and resentment."
"Great Qin has been determined to innovate over the years and has carried out restructuring in many aspects. Only in terms of governance, it has always followed the method of governing Qin. However, this is obviously increasingly divorced from reality and increasingly unrealistic."
“That’s why we have this ambition to be civilized!”
"That's what you call a great deal of governance!"
"Back then, hundreds of schools of thought arose and contended. In those troubled times, various scholars traveled around the world and put forward various ideas, thereby promoting the great cause of unifying the world. Now, the troubled times have ceased, and the world is full of wastes waiting to be revived. When the prosperity is still rising,
It’s the beginning of the Great Reign.”
"In the past, you have been scattered among the people and experienced the sufferings of the people firsthand. You should have a lot of profound insights into the governance of the world. Therefore, this time the imperial court has gathered all the wise men from all over the world in Xianyang to discuss together the strategies for the governance of the world."
“Therefore, this event only includes ‘governance’!”
"Only discuss treatment!"
Shu Suntong said loudly outside:
"I don't agree."
"Politics are not divided. If the proposed governance policy is contrary to the law, it will not be implemented. Then what is the meaning of such a proposed governance policy?"
"You said it too."
"Legalism is a school of thought that helped Qin unify the world, but troubled times are different from governing the world. Qin's laws are harsh and are obviously inappropriate for governing the world. Da Qin should change the way of government. Only in this way can it be compatible with the changes in the world and can it
Achieve great governance.”
Qin Luoheng raised his head.
He shook his head and said:
"change?"
"There are only four ways of governing the world."
"Fa, Confucianism, Taoism, Mohism."
"The Mohist way of governing was too unrealistic, so during the centuries of great strife, no country adopted the Mohist ideas as its governing philosophy."
"Of course the Mo family won't consider it."
"Taoism advocates 'morality', while Confucianism advocates 'benevolence and propriety'."
“Both companies have certain opinions on their philosophies.”
"But people have seven emotions and six desires. Mencius said that human nature is inherently good, but Xunzi said that human nature is inherently evil, and humans are actually good and evil. To govern the world relying on morality and etiquette is ultimately too vain and unrealistic."
"If the world is not governed by law, but by Confucian benevolence, etiquette, and Taoist Dao and virtue, when have there ever been clear standards for benevolence, etiquette, Dao, and virtue? Does that mean morality, benevolence, and etiquette?
The power of interpretation is actually in the hands of Taoist and Confucian scholars."
"Most of the scholars in the world are local aristocrats. Then your so-called governance of the world has returned to the vassal state. At that time, one township will be governed, and each mile will be governed. Over time, it will become one land and one country, and the world will be governed by thousands of people.
country?"
"Is this a blessing to the world?"
"No matter how many problems there are in Legalism, the laws are solid and clearly explained. Everything has traces to follow, and it is not as idealistic as Taoism and Confucianism. Therefore, no matter whether Qin will be destroyed or not in the future, the land of China will be
The rule of law will definitely be enforced.”
"What the law protects is the bottom line."
"Morality and benevolence and etiquette are just higher standards for people. Now even you scholars can't fully abide by the most basic legal system. How can we let the people at the bottom rise to the top in one step and directly enter a society governed by morality and etiquette?"
