Sharp questions are raised and there is no escaping them!
Fu Jian frowned, but still said: "What's the point of being the Khan of the barbarians? What's the point of being the emperor of the Han people?"
"Being the Khan of the Hu people, the King of Qin can be as happy as he wants. He can sleep with any woman he wants, kill whoever he wants, and do whatever he wants. It is extremely refreshing. But the price is that the Hu people have no luck for a hundred years.
, if the Qin State lasts less than fifty years, it will be destroyed. In the past, Liu Yuan's Han State, Shi Le's Zhao State, and today your Majesty's Qin State!"
"If he wants to be the emperor of the Han people, King Qin must restrain himself. He must not sleep with the women he wants to sleep with, he cannot kill the people he wants to kill, and he must live an extremely miserable life. But the price is to maintain the national destiny for four hundred years like the Han Dynasty!"
Liu Xiu said lightly: "If the King of Qin lived outside the Great Wall, he would naturally have to abide by the rules of the barbarians; but when he comes to Guanzhong and the land of the Han people, he must abide by the rules of the Han people. Otherwise, he will only be unaccustomed to the local environment and will be destroyed!"
Fu Jian was silent.
Liu Xiu asked again: "The conflict between the Hu people and the Han people is sharp. How will King Qin choose?"
Fu Jiandao: "I will restore the Wei and Jin gentry status, recognize the privileges of the gentry, and recruit Han scholars to serve as officials in the court; promote Confucianism, establish schools, and cultivate ruling talents. Pay attention to farming, build water conservancy, build pavilions, and develop industry and commerce.
. Moved 100,000 conquered Xianbei, Wuhuan, Dingling and other ethnic groups in Guandong to Guanzhong to enrich Kinki and facilitate control; also moved 150,000 Di ethnic groups in Guanzhong to Guandong and distributed them in various important towns for control.
To tighten control over the peoples of newly conquered areas…”
Fu Jian talked a lot eloquently.
Liu Xiu asked again: "The King of Qin has unified the north, what will be the next step?"
Fu Jian said: "Destroy the Jin Dynasty and unify the world!"
Liu Xiudao: "It is difficult to conquer the world, but it is even harder to defend the world. When conquering the world, as long as you defeat the enemy and capture the enemy's city, you will be victorious; but when defending the world, you can't find the enemy, and you don't know where to strike with the sword. Because defending the world
At the time of the world, external conflicts have turned into internal conflicts, and it is difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. The enemies have turned into former generals, sons, cronies, etc. When conquering the world, when you encounter enemies, you can kill them as much as you want; when you defend the world, you can kill them as much as you want.
But you can't kill the enemy as much as you want, because if you kill them all, you will be finished!"
"Liu Yuan's Han State and Shi Le's Zhao State conquered the world, but they failed to defend it!"
"The essence of guarding the world is the distribution of interests. The core of the distribution of interests is the balance of interests. If you grasp the balance, the country will survive forever. If you fail to grasp the balance, the country will be in chaos and perish! Legalism has laws, techniques, momentum, etc., the three
The purpose is not for fairness, but for balance! On this point, Prime Minister Wang has done a good job, but the current balance can easily become unbalanced. Once it becomes unbalanced, it will be the moment of Qin’s demise!”
"The enemy of the Qin State today is not the Jin Dynasty, but various internal contradictions. Just like Qin Shi Huang unified the world, no one can defeat the Qin Dynasty. The only one who can defeat him is himself. The Qin Dynasty was destroyed, not by Xiang Yu.
Liu Bang will perish in his own hands!"
With that said, Liu Xiu stopped talking and started drinking tea, pretending to be cool.
This is not the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it is not the era when talents are rampant and there are as many talents as dogs. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the literati were disobedient and would humiliate the literati and beat them to death. But in this era, the literati were in short supply. Liu Bei had to visit the thatched cottage three times.
Cao Cao also wanted to treat virtuous corporals with courtesy.
Seeing Mi Heng being unhappy, Cao Cao just threw it to Liu Biao; Liu Biao saw Mi Heng being unhappy, so he threw it to Huang Zu; Huang Zu saw Mi Heng being unhappy and beat Mi Heng to death, but regretted it afterwards.
As a result, Huang Zu's reputation was completely ruined!
For literati, many lords treated them with great courtesy, even if they were itchy with hatred, they still had to endure it.
So, feel free to show off!
Only by showing off and being arrogant can you show the character of a celebrity. If you are just soft-spoken and talkative, those lords will look down upon you.
Fu Jian stood up, bowed and saluted: "Sir, please give me some advice!"
"I have ten strategies that can stabilize the country and create a three-hundred-year-old state of Qin!" Liu Xiu said proudly: "One is to bring barbarians into China and change their names to trace the ancient times. Mencius said: Shun was a person from the Eastern Yi, and King Wen was a person from the Western Yi.
! However, both of them came to China from barbarians and established their foundations. There is no future as a barbarian, but as a Chinese talent there is a future. Therefore, Liu Yuan should not be a Xiongnu chanyu, but should be the emperor of the Han people, and pursue Liu Chan as a filial piety.
The emperor built shrines for the three ancestors and five sects below Han Emperor Gaozu to offer sacrifices. This was a manifestation of bringing the barbarians into the Xia. Shi Le called the courgettes cucumbers and called the Hu people people of the country, which also despised the Hu people and wanted to bring the barbarians into the Xia.
But it’s not enough!”
"The name should be changed to Yi. Fu is a barbarian surname, so it should be changed to Ji. Other Hu people's names should also be changed to Han people's names. This is the beginning of entering China. Abolish Hu clothes, advocate Han clothes, respect Confucius and Confucianism, and strengthen
Chineseized!!”
"Second, abolish the nine-rank Zhongzheng system and implement the imperial examination system. The nine-rank Zhongzheng system cuts off the path for talents to move up, causing isolation between the upper and lower levels, which is the root of the chaos in the world. The Wei State implemented the nine-rank Zhongzheng system, and the Wei state was short-lived. The Jin Dynasty
A country like this is also short-lived. Liu Yuan's Han State and Shi Le's Zhao State are also short-lived. If the Qin State does not want to subjugate the country, then it will abolish the nine-level Zhongzheng system. Only the imperial examination method relies on examinations. Only those who pass the examination can become an official.
!”
"Thirdly, the Han people's noble families and the Hu people's tyranny are both worms in the country. Only by suppressing the noble families, suppressing the Hu people's tycoons, and achieving balance in the court can the situation be stabilized!"
“Fourth, realize the equalization of land system, prohibit the sale of land, and land to the tiller!”
"Fifth, implement the government-military system and integrate soldiers and peasants; collect the best from all over the world and gather them in Guanzhong to form a central army, and use the central army to deter local armies. Even if the whole world rebels, we can still rely on the elites of the central army to suppress rebellions everywhere
!”
"Sixth, compulsory education in Guanzhong. An uneducated army is a stupid army; a stupid army cannot defeat the enemy. Therefore, starting from the age of eight, all children, regardless of gender, go to school for compulsory education and practice arithmetic.
Five subjects including art of war, farming, and Confucianism, five years of education, part-time work-study, classes for at least half a day every day, at least fifteen days a month. This is a primary school, and outstanding talents are selected from primary schools to enter junior high schools to deepen their learning.
.Compulsory education is the foundation of the imperial examination. Only by supporting poor families and attacking wealthy families can the power of rich families and poor families be balanced!"
"Seventh, suppress metaphysics and advocate Confucianism. Metaphysics is another reason for the demise of the Western Jin Dynasty. Only Confucianism is the foundation of national stability!"
"Eighth, establish a newspaper, control the power of public opinion, and suppress the power of public opinion of the gentry!"
“Nineth, dig the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and establish a visual telegraph network!”
"Tenth, establish three provinces and six ministries, separate the power of military command from the power of troop deployment, return local finance to the central government, and separate local military power from administrative power!"
Liu Xiu talked eloquently. The basis of the ten policies was an enhanced version of Emperor Xiaowen's reforms, a plagiarized version of the Prussian revolution, a reduced version of the strong cadres and weak branches of the Song Dynasty, and an enhanced version of the political structure of the Tang Dynasty.
If he continues according to his version, it will not be difficult to create a prosperous age of three hundred years.
Its essence lies in abolishing the Hu surname, changing customs, bringing barbarians into Xia; compulsory compulsory education, suppressing family members, and the imperial examination system. As for the establishment of a three-province and six-ministry system and the establishment of the Central Army, it is just a supplement; as for the subsequent construction of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and the establishment of newspapers, it is only an extension.
For example, the construction of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal was too large and too laborious for people and money. Liu Xiu planned a thirty-year project period;
Another example is that compulsory education is too difficult, there is a shortage of teachers, and it costs a lot of money. Liu Xiu only plans to implement it in Guanzhong.
There is also the abolition of the nine-rank Zhongzheng system, and there is no intention to abolish it in one step. There must be a buffer period. In the early stages of the imperial examination, the number of places was also limited. For example, poor families were admitted to the third level, and nobles were admitted to the seventh level. This was also a compromise for the nobles.
Fu Jian asked and Liu Xiu answered. The two of them talked in high spirits.
Fu Jian's expression kept changing, and his fear became more severe. This "Li Ying" had surpassed Wang Meng in learning. If the ten strategies are implemented, he will definitely win the world.
"The rare thing about unifying the world is not military conquest, but the people's hearts. If the people's hearts are not unified, the bigger the territory, the greater the burden, and the more harmful it will be!" Liu Xiudao: "Qin Shihuang unified the world, and his military forces unified the world, but the people's hearts were not unified. At that time, there was no unity.
There are people from Yan, Zhao, Qin, Chu, Qi, and Han. People’s hearts are confused and uneasy!”
"It wasn't until the unification of Liu Bang, through Emperors Wen, Jing, and Wu, that it took about hundreds of years for the world to forget about the motherland. At that time, there were no Qin people, no Chu people, no Qin people, no Zhao people, and only Han people.
Then there will be great unification!”
"But now, the world is in chaos, with Huns, Xianbei, Di, Qiang, Jie, Jin, etc. Only the people of the world have forgotten that they are Huns, Xianbei, and Di.
People forget that they are Jin people, but they just remember that I am Han people. At that time, people's hearts will be united and the world will be unified!"
"As for now, even if the Jin Dynasty is overthrown and the south is occupied, it will only be a burden. If people's hearts are not attached to it, there will only be constant turmoil and a repetition of the tragedy of the late Qin Dynasty. It seems that the Qin Dynasty fell to Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, but in fact the territory is too large.
If it is too big, the control is insufficient, resulting in turmoil... As the saying goes, if the step is too big, it will cause trouble!"
At the end, Liu Xiu advised: "King of Qin, are you pursuing the name of unification, or the reality of unification? If it is for the former, for temporary pleasure, then the Qin Congress will be on the road to rapid destruction!"
"Sir, when is the best time to conquer the Jin Dynasty in the south?"
Fu Jian asked.
"For fifty years, don't think about the Southern Expedition!" Liu Xiu warned: "While King Qin is alive, don't think about the Southern Expedition. The opportunity will not come. Only when your son, or even your grandson, can the opportunity come.
Forefathers planted trees, and later generations took advantage of the shade. King Qin Zhao’s fifty-year reign laid the foundation for the unification of Qin; and the subsequent unification by Qin Shihuang was to reap the fruits. King Qin wanted to be King Zhao of Qin, not just the First Emperor of Qin; he wanted to be Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing.
