Chapter 301: The system is always more reliable than human nature!
Qin Luoheng said:
"Can it be avoided by being imprisoned in Xianyang?"
"The reason why this situation occurred in history is basically because the clan members took control of the local military and political power, and thus had the ability to challenge the court, and then had the idea of replacing them. This situation is not inevitable."
"It just needs to make a fuss about the system!"
"Throughout the history of China, there are actually very limited restrictions on the children of the clan. Except for the theory proposed by Lord Shang that they are not allowed to belong to the clan unless they have military merit, basically there are not many express restrictions on the children of the clan in all dynasties in history, and Lord Shang
The relevant laws and regulations were also partially abolished in the Qin Dynasty."
"In all dynasties, at the founding of the country, the imperial court actually needed the support of the clan. However, if enfeoffment was carried out, what happened in the Zhou Dynasty would undoubtedly happen again. Moreover, after three generations, the family ties between clans would be weak, and the local government would become even more estranged from each other.
It happens frequently."
"Yes."
"The First Emperor made another choice."
"Since enfeoffment is not possible, then we should confine these people to Xianyang. With the strong national power of the Qin Dynasty, it is more than enough to support the clan."
“But this actually treats the symptoms rather than the root cause!”
"The imperial court is already extremely short of people, and now it restricts a large number of clan members to Xianyang, which undoubtedly aggravates the shortage of people in the local area. As the saying goes, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the people are few and there are many ministers. If the place is too far away from Xianyang, the imperial court's deterrent power radiates
Less than.”
"And this is also the reason why feudalism has been enfeoffed in all dynasties."
"No matter how bad the clan members are, they are from the clan after all. In the early days, they shared weal and woe with the imperial court, and both suffered losses. Therefore, clan children are beneficial to stabilizing the place."
"But the First Emperor obviously had longer-term considerations."
"The First Emperor knew how the Zhou Dynasty was overthrown, and also knew that enfeoffment was unreliable, so he pushed for the system of prefectures and counties, just to avoid this situation."
"It's just a little unrealistic."
"The world is vast, and the Qin Dynasty already has insufficient officials. This move will only increase the burden on itself. How can the courtiers not know the pros and cons? They just dare not speak out."
"After all, it concerns the emperor's family affairs."
"In my opinion, the First Emperor does not have to change, he only needs to make certain adjustments. Shang Jun's method is actually the best. Only by performing meritorious deeds can you obtain clan membership. Without merit, you will be automatically removed from the clan. This is also beneficial to
Reduce the burden for the Qin Dynasty."
"I understand the worries of the chief officials."
"The chief officials have personally experienced the Chengyu Rebellion, so they are worried that they will repeat the same mistakes. However, there are actually certain reasons why they will repeat the same mistakes. However, no one has thought about it in the past, and they did not dare to think about it, because the imperial palace is too deep.
Test, outsiders cannot interfere!"
"Great Qin has its own laws!"
"But the laws concerning the clan members are in ruins."
"It's even gone."
"And this is obviously wrong. There is no shortage of talents among the clan members. In the past, the Great Qin clan made great contributions to the establishment of the Qin Dynasty. Ying Hua, Ying Ji, etc. could be generals when they came out, and they could be prime ministers when they entered. Now the Great Qin clan
There are so many children in the clan, can't we have more talented people?"
Qin Luoheng shook his head and said:
"No!"
"Being on guard is essential."
"No less."
"The authority of the emperor must not be left aside!"
"But it is better to block than to clear."
"The First Emperor was the first to propose limiting the clan's children to Xianyang. In the short term, there was indeed no problem, but in the long run, this approach would definitely cause problems because the clan's children's lives were too affluent."
"Right now, among the princes of the First Emperor, only a few can covet the position of Crown Prince. Most of them can only choose to enjoy themselves. What about the future? Right now, the First Emperor's prestige is high enough that they don't dare to fight, but what happens later?
?”
"The emperor's heirs have only one goal throughout their lives: fighting for the throne."
"Internal friction will become more serious in the future."
"Even if a person with good power is allowed to rise to power, but he only knows how to play politics and knows nothing about governing the world, how can such a person govern the Qin Dynasty well?"
"and."
"As time goes by, the number of clan members will increase."
"Now the Qin Dynasty can indeed afford to support them, but what about in the future? What about a hundred years or a thousand years after the Qin Dynasty? At that time, the number of clan children was already an astonishing number. They had long been accustomed to stretch their hands for clothes and open their mouths for food. Suddenly they cut their expenses, and then
How can you be willing to do so?"
"And this will also intensify the battle for the crown prince later!"
"When."
"The internal strife between the clans will become even more serious!"
"The Great Qin Dynasty relied on the unity of the clan to grow from weak to strong, but now it has sacrificed its own strength to chase the last. It has even given up all its original advantages because of one mistake. Isn't this a pity?"
"Since the Qin Dynasty's reform, we have not raised useless people."
"Not to mention the clan?"
"This is beyond the law!"
"In the future, the princes of the clan will only have one way to fight for the throne. There will definitely be fierce conflicts and confrontations between them and their successors. Because they can only stay in Xianyang, the internal strife between the princes will quickly intensify, and even become like fire and water. Once one party gains power, it will
, new and old grudges accumulate, it is difficult not to kill the other young masters."
"Once this precedent is set, it may become more and more serious in the future!"
"The First Emperor's approach was to treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and this was inevitable because the world had never restricted clans in the past. Throughout history, there was no way to learn from it, so the First Emperor adopted a one-sword approach.
"
"But it has little actual effect."
"You can only care about the present, but not the long term."
Ying Zheng looked ugly.
This was the first time that he had been scolded like this.
Although he was extremely angry, Ying Zheng did not lose his mind, because Qin Luoheng's words really hit him, and they were very reasonable. In fact, if he really continued, what Qin Luoheng said would definitely happen.
occurring.
Because of desire!
Ying Zheng had a gloomy face and said in a deep voice: "So you think we should enfeoff? Give some false posts to the clan members and send them to local places, so that they can dominate and do well in the local areas?"
Qin Luoheng smiled.
said:
"Of course this is impossible."
"In my opinion, Da Qin Gang still uses the old system."
"No merit, no naturalization!"
"Children of the clan have superior conditions, but if you want to obtain clan membership, you must prove that you have this ability. Otherwise, you will only be able to enjoy temporary wealth. Da Qin has no shortage of clan members and no shortage of clan children."
“What Da Qin lacks is a system!”
"A system to manage the entry and exit of clan members."
"Da Qin has always claimed to the outside world that everything has its own rules and regulations, and the descendants of the clan should also have relevant laws."
"Any issues that chief officials are worried about can be controlled by systems."
Finished.
Qin Luoheng paused.
Ying Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly and his expression was a little serious.
He said: "Elaborate."
Qin Luoheng took a deep breath, bowed respectfully, and said, "What I will say may be shocking to my ears. Please forgive me, sir."
Ying Zheng took a deep look at Qin Luoheng.
He snorted coldly:
"If I really have an opinion, what you said earlier is enough to make you suffer in prison. I don't have such a small heart. If you can't say something reasonable, then don't blame me for turning against others.
Already."
Qin Luoheng smiled awkwardly.
said:
"That's what the official said."
"In my opinion, Da Qin's system is seriously lacking."
"Not only the descendants of the clan, but also the court, the system of Da Qin is very chaotic, not systematic, and even less systematic. At the moment... it is still a grass-roots team, and there is no formalized and rational system established at all!"
Ying Zheng frowned.
But he didn't choose to speak.
He just looked at Qin Luoheng coldly.
Qin Luoheng obviously knew what he was talking about.
He took another deep breath and said solemnly: "The boy has also heard about the great turmoil in the court during this period, and studied it with great concentration, but he discovered a truth. Da Qin does not have a clear promotion system. This time the court
The reason why the church is so moved is actually not subjective."
"Even passively."
"Unless they die of old age, illness, or can no longer work, officials at the court will basically not take the initiative to retire. If the Qin Dynasty really stabilizes the world, the officials will have no worries about food and clothing, and there will be no danger of life and death, and their life span will be undoubtedly
will increase.”
"These officials may even control the court for a long time."
"The court needs new faces, and someone needs to put forward new ideas, and it also needs young and powerful officials. However, the promotion system of officials in the world has never been systematically established. In the past, officials were promoted when there were vacancies, or they were abolished.
, then select and appoint people.”
"This is actually unhealthy!"
"Great Qin's promotion and retirement system should be put on the agenda."
"Da Qin has its own rules and regulations."
"If there is an upswing, there will naturally be a retreat!"
"Not only local officials, but also court officials."
"The three nobles and nine ministers, these important ministers in the court, should not be exempted from this."
"You should retire after a certain period of time, or you should retire automatically when you reach your age. Only when the position is freed can the court have continuous potential for advancement, and can it effectively avoid the mediocrity and laziness of officials."
"in this way."
"With the circulation of official positions, officials have visible room for promotion. This is also beneficial to increasing the enthusiasm of officials, and then keeps the Qin Dynasty in a dynamic balance, preventing the power of the imperial court from being seized by others."
Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows.
Qin Luoheng provided him with a new idea.
Officials advance and retreat.
If it can really be done, combined with the system of Qin Dynasty, it can indeed avoid the emergence of powerful ministers to a large extent, and can also maintain centralization of power to a large extent and avoid the loss of imperial power. More importantly, the selection of officials is in the hands of the emperor. As long as the emperor
By paying attention, you can largely prevent other families from getting bigger and threatening the court.
Ying Zheng's eyes closed slightly.
He took a deep look at Qin Luoheng and realized deeply that Qin Luoheng was different from before.
His thoughts are even more cruel!
Ying Zheng said calmly: "Is this your solution to the clan's children?"
Qin Luoheng nodded.
said:
"It's just an analogy."
"From small to large, from the end to the foundation, everything can be solved by the system. The Qin Dynasty relied on the system to obtain the world, and it should also start from the system to govern the world."
"The system is always more reliable than human nature!
