After King Qin’s goodwill policy was promulgated, it was immediately welcomed by the local nobles.
Because this confirms their status.
However, all the officials in the Qin Palace were divided.
Although on the surface it seems that officials are designated as Brahmins and Kshatriyas just for better communication.
But in essence, don’t underestimate the subtle influence of Shivaism.
Prime Minister Liu Guan agreed with King Qin because of previous communication.
As a secondary prime minister, Mao Fu was a pure Confucian scholar who paid attention to meticulous etiquette.
After returning home, he took off his official robe and sat upright, frowning and pursed his lips, saying nothing.
The wives, concubines, and servants of the whole family were all surprised and hurriedly greeted him without replying.
His youngest son came here specially to take care of him. He is also very elegant even at the age of seventeen or eighteen.
There are three immortalities in life: establishing virtue, performing meritorious service, and establishing words.
Moreover, based on his understanding of the emperor, he was also dissatisfied with King Qin's move.
Mao Quan raised his head and said passionately: "I forgive my son for being rude. In my opinion, the civil servants in the imperial court are too timid. They have replaced themselves with the Mongolian Yuan and Manchu Qing Dynasties, and are worried about the unrest of the country."
Although there was only one small snow slope, about 800 meters long, it already left the emperor with endless aftertaste.
Mao Quan said softly: "I just thought about this. Your Highness is only sixteen, and your face is more valuable than heaven."
Secret documents do not need to be processed by the General Affairs Department, nor do they need to go through the cabinet. They arrive directly at the emperor's desk, which is extremely efficient.
Unless they have a mission, most craftsmen will live scattered in Beijing and will not come here.
"From my son's point of view, His Highness the King of Qin built the throne of the Qin State on his butt, so he was thinking about the interests of the Qin State, so he ignored his Majesty's thoughts and the court's thoughts."
"In addition, if someone wants to buy it, let the Ministry of Internal Affairs sell it at a suitable price, and I will also have to recover some of the cost."
Does he have a choice?
A secret box is sent to Beijing on a sea ship.
Here, although Zhu Jing was distracted by the Annan war, he reported news about Qin almost every ten days, and used a secret box to report to the emperor on time.
Sure enough, the emperor began to pace and talk to himself.
"Your Majesty, the King of Qin, also wants to save face if your orders are changed in the morning or evening."
I asked three times in a row.
Such as Jiangnan Garden, Baiyuan Garden, Spring Garden, etc., with different colors and very different scenery, making people forget to leave.
"Then you have to change your clothes!" Mao Quan said helplessly.
As the emperor's half-adopted son, Zhu Jing's identity is self-evident. Although he cannot interfere in Qin's internal affairs, as a leading general, he naturally has the responsibility to supervise Qin.
Regarding the Manchu secret system, Zhu Yixi had no intention of carrying it forward, but still adhered to the principle of secrecy.
Mao Fu narrowed his eyes and came back to his senses.
The emperor continued to boost morale.
"Yes -" Liu Afu was stunned. Isn't this used in agriculture? How can it be sent to the mine?
After that, he spoke about the so-called caste system: "Your Majesty ranks hundreds of officials. Although they can be transferred up and down and married, it is only for external exchanges, but it will cause a lot of disasters."
Zhu Jing dismissed King Qin’s whimsical caste system and followed Shivaism:
"The King of Qin is still too young."
For example, the emperor thought that azure porcelain was more beautiful, so the Baigong Garden dedicated people to study this kind of porcelain.
Again, the King of Qin was too young, and the Emperor was worried about it, fearing that he would be deceived by powerful officials in the country.
Completely different from the Ordnance Department.
"If the imperial court knew about it, I'm afraid it would cause big trouble."
Zhu Yixi nodded and opened it directly.
The Forbidden City is like a government office to him.
Although the improvement was not big, Zhu Yixi was still very happy and really wanted to contact two or three concubines to have a multi-player sport.
"You did a good job."
Mao Fu nodded, his face serious.
Mao Fu suddenly understood, then put down his pen, with a look of relief on his face.
Liu Afu wished he could plug his ears, but he still couldn't stop the words from falling.
There is even a ski resort that was established last year.
Mao Quan sighed: "It is conceivable that once the caste system is spread out, it can never be taken back. Under the influence of subtle influence, how can there still be the atmosphere of a prosperous country in the South China Sea?"
"Shivism has obviously had an impact on Confucianism. If the emperor doesn't care about it, the elders will definitely not like it."
Only then did Liu Afu suddenly realize.
Mao Quan sighed: "This is just like the Mongol Yuan Dynasty back then. The small clan was close to the big clan, and they were isolated from each other, just like duckweeds, with no foundation at all."
"Annan also has imperial examinations and Chinese characters, but there is no caste system or Shivaism there."
Today's inspection finally gave Zhu Yixi good news.
What makes the princes happiest is that there are no restrictions in the palace, or there are less restrictions. Who knows they can play and play.
As for this secret box from Annan, it is almost a no-brainer to know that it was written by Zhu Jing.
"Your Highness rejected it."
Since the renovation of the steam engine was designated more than ten years ago and the concept of steam was proposed, dozens of craftsmen have been studying it day and night.
These are the two ways of governing the country in the early Zhou Dynasty.
After a long time, the emperor seemed to have digested his anger, and regained his composure, holding back four words.
"Are you talking about General Zhu?"
Seeing his father lost in thought, Mao Quan continued his efforts and gave a strong medicine: "Father, you seem to have forgotten that our Qin State is not only Saigon and Champa. Annan in the north will also be under the jurisdiction of the Qin State in the future."
As usual, the emperor came to Baigong Garden to observe the task of transforming steam engines.
The craftsman was stunned when he heard this, and shook his hair that could be knotted: "Your Majesty, the steam engine you requested is too powerful. We have been working hard for many years, but it is difficult to achieve results."
"It's pumping..."
"Keep working hard. You should still work towards the rail carriage. The pulling force should be stronger and the size should be appropriate. My funding will never stop..."
"You are right."
Having said that, it is a task-based craftsman bureau.
Sure enough, the emperor's temper has not changed, and he is still reluctant to eat, thinking of trying to get back his money.
Liu Afu on the side didn't dare to ask any more questions and could only stare from the side, slowly moving a few steps away from him.
"Master, this is sent from Annan——"
No, he had nothing to do, so he came to Baigong Garden.
In a sense, this is a very effective method and an effective policy for Qin.
"Absurd decision..."
However, Bo Qin spent three years "changing his customs and abolishing his funeral rituals" and strictly abiding by the Zhou rites, which can be said to be a painstaking effort.
"Does the imperial court want to live in these two mansions forever?"
Throughout the country, only a few hundred people have the authority to perform secret memorials.
"So what?" Mao Fu pondered and gritted his teeth and said, "I will write to the court and let His Majesty make a decision."
Mao Fu suddenly woke up. He had completely rejected the caste system in his heart. He stood up quickly and was about to leave.
"I know."
To civilize the barbarians and build a small Ming Dynasty, this is such a lofty ideal.
Seeing his son's words, Mao Fu fell into thinking and moved his lips. Although it was a bit embarrassing, he couldn't help but ask.
Mao Fu couldn't hide the tiredness on his face. He waved his hand and walked straight to the room.
"What does King Qin know? He is only 16 years old and has been influenced by you."
This is a place specially arranged by the emperor, and there is no scenery inside. Basically, it is busy with mechanical creations.
This steam engine that pumps water is of great help to agriculture.
I live there every day, next to the yamen of civil and military officials, which means too much surveillance.
A prosperous country in the South China Sea, this is the Confucian scholars' outlook for the Qin Kingdom.
Mao Quan hurriedly tried to dissuade him: "Don't worry, there is still someone in Qin! He will definitely not ignore it."
"According to my son's opinion, the imperial court can issue an edict and clearly state that castes are abolished and all living beings are equal. None of the four classes can exist anymore. They can take the imperial examination to become officials or join the army."
Zhu Yixi opened Zhu Jing's secret box and took a look.
There is no doubt that the emperor did not want to interfere in Qin's internal affairs.
"If it doesn't work, my father will annihilate himself from the King of Qin and the country of Qin."
Zhu Yixi was not as calm as he appeared, and his mood could not be calm for a long time.
"Where are you going?"
"Then what can you do?"
What the son said was true. He was trapped in Lushan Mountain. He couldn't see his surroundings and thought he was an official in the Ming Dynasty!
It is really difficult for me to develop steam engines by leaps and bounds in a short period of time.
"But father, His Highness the King of Qin is right to consider it. If the Han people are not in the caste, the people at the bottom will have no way to rely on, and the nobles will be terrified."
Turning his head, Zhu Yixi said to Liu Afu: "Transport this thing to the mine. Didn't they say there is a lot of underground water? Just go get this to pump it out."
"Who says it's not?"
The difficulty of using a steam engine to pull people is really high, considering that it was not until the 19th century that the steam engine was invented for more than 150 years before there was a train.
"I overestimated him. This is not a game..."
"This machine can pump water directly from the Yellow River dam that is more than ten feet high, so the people will have water available."
"The King of Qin is confused——"
Liu Afu looked at the ink pad and seal on it and said softly.
Mao Quan chuckled and said: "I'm afraid you have forgotten that this is not the Ming Dynasty, but the Qin State among the barbarians on the bank of the South China Sea."
At this time, a wooden box was sent from Beijing.
"But today, we have a steam engine that can pump water."
By the time they arrived in the capital, time had passed through spring and reached summer. The emperor and his party went to Yuquan Villa.
"Five thousand capital camps, five thousand native soldiers, the entire Qin State, who dares to act so arrogantly?"
Mao Fu was stunned, looked at the broad robe on his body, and then hurriedly changed into official uniform.
"In Chinese history, neither Buddhism nor Taoism could affect the rule of the imperial court, let alone the position of Confucianism."
The purpose of establishing the State of Qin was to create another North Korea, a loyal brother, rather than a barbarian foreign country.
"Have you developed a steam engine that can pull a carriage?"
Therefore, its size is already about one-third of the Forbidden City, and its daily maintenance requires more than 500 people.
He will still go to the imperial court in the future. If he offends those literati, his future will still be bright, but there will be considerable setbacks.
Although there are only more than a dozen large and small palaces, there are many types of gardens.
Repeatedly for more than ten years, the scale of Yuquan Villa has become larger and larger.
In the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the princes were divided into feudal states. Jiang Ziya was granted the title of Marquis of Qi, while Zhou Gongdan was granted the title of Lu. However, because he wanted to assist the imperial court, Bo Qin, the eldest son of Zhou Gongdan, went to the country.
It wasn't until late at night that Mao Fu returned helplessly, his face full of anger and regret.
"Besides, all the etiquette systems of the Qin State were formulated by the imperial court. Even my father's second prime minister was designated. I am afraid that the caste system is the first time His Highness has made it, so he will not abandon it so easily..."
Obviously, in order to establish the Qin State faster and stabilize its rule, the King of Qin chose Jiang Ziya's method.
"Then the nobles are going to cause chaos and rebel?"
The emperor nodded and praised.
Zhu Jing smiled bitterly.
"Father, I heard today that the Kingdom of Qin is about to be established and that the king will not come to the court for a long time. Why are you frowning?"
Although they had the intention of migrating people, they also wanted to build a country with a smooth "Ming system" like the early Zhou Dynasty.
Mao Fu sighed softly: "Who says it's not the case? But I only learned the basics."
But he didn't care. It was his own ability to obey the emperor's orders.
"Father, there is nothing to fear from rebellion, as long as it is suppressed."
Facing his own son, Mao Fu said angrily: "What about face, what about rule..."
The emperor was stunned.
After a long time, Mao Fu sighed: "I see that the King of Qin is too simple in the current affairs. He wanted to take shortcuts, but he went astray."
The emperor also liked the taste of doing whatever he wanted.
Mao Fu was shocked and couldn't help but stand up straight.
Liu Afu, who was on the side, glanced at the emperor's face with his peripheral vision and saw that his face was visibly red, indicating his anger.
His son Mao Quan squinted his eyes and listened to what he said. He walked a few steps and looked thoughtful: "According to my son's wishes, your Majesty is following the example of the Grand Duke in the hope of governing the country!"
He felt that he was a little too ambitious.
But now that success is achieved, can flaws be allowed?
But for the imperial court, that is, the Ming Dynasty, the starting point of this policy was wrong.
"Pumping water?"
"Your Majesty is still thoughtful."
Jiang Ziya arrived in Qi State, followed the customs, simplified the Zhou rites, promoted the benefits of fishing and salt, promoted trade, and stabilized his rule in one year.
"Although there was a estrangement afterwards, I had to repay it——"
The man said cautiously: "I heard that in recent years, the court has been experiencing constant disasters, including droughts in Henan and Shandong, and the court has allocated funds to control the Huaihe River. So I thought about using the power of this steam engine to pump out water..."
The enfeoffment at that time was actually an armed colonization, because these places already had the Fang Kingdom, which was basically Dongyi and pro-business tribes, which can be said to be difficult.
"Prince Qin's Mansion."
"King Qin is still too young..."
Because this will make a bad start, and then it will continue to spread, causing future generations to learn to interfere in the vassal country, leading to the disunity of the vassal country.
But at this time, he felt that he had to do this.
"The King of Qin is only sixteen years old, too young."
Zhu Yixi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "What do I think when I place my hope on such a young man to rule a country?"
