Chapter 178 The Yin Yang Family, the East Emperor Taiyi
From the pro-government in 238 BC to 220 BC, after eighteen years, the six kingdoms were finally destroyed and the world was unified. Starting from Qin Xiaogong's reform, the Qin State experienced more than 130 years of history, with six generations of kings.
After working hard, I finally finished it in one day.
The six kings in front have walked ninety steps, and Ying Zheng has walked the remaining ten steps.
The idea of "One World" originated from the State of Qi, but was finally completed in the hands of the State of Qin.
There is no blind copying of the county system. There is still a certain market for the enfeoffment system, and measures must be adapted to local conditions.
In areas such as Korea, Zhao, and Wei, where the system of prefectures and counties had prevailed for hundreds of years, the system of prefectures and counties was implemented and turned into areas directly under the Qin State; as for the states of Yan, Qi, and Chu, the system was different from the system of prefectures and counties.
No, the enfeoffment system is implemented.
The State of Qi has a five-capital system, so the nobles of the State of Qi were moved to Xianyang, and their five heirs were enfeoffed to the State of Qi, becoming King Linzi, King Jimo, King Gaotang, King Ju, and King Pinglu; and two more heirs,
In the Yan State, he was granted the titles of King of Liaodong and King of Liaoxi.
The Chu Kingdom was divided into kings of Eastern Chu, Kings of Western Chu, Kings of Wu, etc.
Under the kings, another hundred princes were ennobled, the smaller ones were only 2,000 households, and the larger ones were 10,000 households.
The prefectures and counties directly under the Qin Dynasty occupied five levels of the country, and were used to register various princes and feudal states, which accounted for half of the country. Among them, the prime minister of the feudal state was appointed by the central dynasty, and strictly set the number of troops, tax ratio, etc.
wait.
The method of feudalism was used to treat the subjects of various countries and disintegrate the forces of resistance; the feudal system was also used to reduce the cost of governance.
In addition, the central government's huge land base and population base are enough to form a crushing advantage over the feudal states. Even if there is a rebellion by the feudal states, they can be easily extinguished.
As for the more than 100 princes who were canonized, they had many fiefdoms, but they only had the power of taxation and no power of governance. Their power was limited, and they could only restrict the feudal state.
Historically, the Qin Dynasty seemed to be a benign company. Because of its blind expansion, it merged with companies from six countries, resulting in an increase in non-performing assets and bad debts, and the collapse of the Qin Dynasty company; now, it is about absorbing good assets, divesting bad assets, and annexing them appropriately.
Unified currency, weights and measures, and the currencies of the six countries were all abolished, leaving only half a liang of Qin;
Unified writing, all the writings of the Six Kingdoms were abolished, and only the writings of the Qin Kingdom were abolished.
In order to realize the unification of writing, the book burning operation began. If you want to destroy the country, you must destroy its history; if you want to destroy its history, you must destroy its religion. Chu State is a big country with a history of 800 years, and Yan State is a big country with a history of 1,000 years.
, As for Wei, Han, Zhao, etc., they came from the Jin Dynasty separately; Qi State, the Tian family came from the Qi Dynasty. These four countries have a history of more than 200 years.
With an order, historical materials from various countries began to be burned, whether official or private, they were all burned. Some historical materials from various countries may still be preserved in the Qin State's library.
They also vigorously promoted Confucianism and destroyed primitive religion. The Chu State with primitive religion was difficult to defeat; but the Qi State without primitive religion surrendered without a fight.
Zhao State and Yan State were destroyed, and Qin State also took over the northern defense line. All countries built the Great Wall, but now it only needs to be connected, which is not difficult. It also deliberately established an enemy for Qin State, the Huns, and promoted the threat of the Huns.
Argument.
To have no enemies is to create enemies; to exaggerate weak enemies into powerful enemies.
As long as there are enemies, there will be no internal fighting!

At night, Liu Xiu returned to the palace, arrived at Queen Mirou's residence, and was about to sleep.
Mirou pushed and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say!"
"What's the matter with the Queen!" Liu Xiu asked curiously.
"Your Majesty, we have unified the world, but the six countries are still rebellious and unconvinced. There are Zhao Mo, Yan Mo, etc., who often rebel against the court, build government cities, and become a place outside the law; in Qilu, there are Confucian scholars who rebel against the law.
Big hidden danger!”
Mi Judao: "Your Majesty has an army of millions, so naturally he is not afraid of these rats. But the Jianghu people will eventually have to deal with them!"
Liu Xiu nodded.
As Qin unified the world, hundreds of schools of thought also split up. The Yin-Yang School, the Confucian School, the Strategist School, Qin Mo, etc. all moved closer to Confucianism; but Yan Mo, Zhao Mo, and some Confucians from Qi and Lu chose to fight against Qin.
country, either violent resistance or non-violent non-cooperation.
As for the Jianghu people, the Six-fingered Black Man, Gao Jianli, Xue Nu, Tuo Tuo and others are actually of average skill. If they confront the Qin army head-on, they will definitely die; but they can be integrated into the common people, but it is difficult to find them.
Using the army to fight against the Jianghu people is undoubtedly the worst policy, just like anti-aircraft cannons to fight mosquitoes; the Jianghu people against the Jianghu people is the best policy.
"Whenever an emperor is about to rise, Heaven will surely see good fortune for his people. During the time of the Yellow Emperor, Heaven first saw giant salamanders and giant mole crickets. The Yellow Emperor said: 'The earth's energy prevails.' The earth's energy prevails, so its color remains yellow, and its actions are earthy.
At the time of Yu, Heaven saw beforehand that the grass and trees would not be killed in autumn and winter. Yu said: 'The Qi of wood is victorious.' The Qi of wood is victorious, so its color is still green, and its deeds are wood..."
Mirou said again.
Liu Xiu felt familiar with some of the words he said.
After a long speech, Mi Rou concluded: "If the king wants to rule the world, he must convince the people of the world. If he wants to convince the people of the world, he must first explain it with reason, supplement it with inducements, and then use morality to impress him.
In order to be fearful. The so-called principle is the principle of the five virtues. The so-called earth is better than water, wood is better than earth, metal is better than wood, fire is better than metal, and water is better than fire. In the present Qin Dynasty, the world is dominated by water, and water is better than fire.
Therefore..."
Liu Xiu continued: "Rou'er, keep talking!"
Mi Judao: "The Qin Kingdom is the whole country, and it is burning the history books of various countries, trying to make them forget its history, but in the end it is just hiding their ears and stealing the bells. The foundations of the Guandong countries are much deeper than the Qin Kingdom, and their heritage is much longer than the Qin Kingdom. If there is no some
Principle, how to convince people with reason, how to make the subjects of the Guandong countries willing to surrender, the resistance will be long-lasting."
"Stability is paramount to everything! Instability leads to endless wars and devastation of life. Therefore, the Qin State wants to be black, and must have the virtue of water to restrain the virtue of Zhou's fire!"
"But our Qin Dynasty is located in the west of the world, and the west belongs to gold. Therefore, our Qin Dynasty gets the energy of gold, sacrifices to the White Emperor, the color is still white, and gets the virtue of gold, while Zhou has the virtue of fire... The Qin State destroys the Zhou Dynasty, and becomes the emperor, and gold controls fire!" Liu
Xiu smiled and said. The so-called five elements are mutually incompatible, whether it is credible or not.
Fire overcomes metal, this is a conflict between attributes;
Metal overcomes fire, which means the strong overcomes the weak.
"It is common sense that fire overcomes metal, but metal overcomes fire, so there is no destiny!" Mi Ju said: "In order to obtain the destiny, I immediately tell all the people: Da Qin has obtained water vapor, and sacrificed to the Black Emperor, and the color is still black. Everyone in the world thinks that Da Qin has obtained the virtue of water.
.”
Liu Xiu said with a smile: "It turns out that you are from the Yin Yang family and a disciple of Zou Yan, and you are committing academic fraud! You are deceiving yourself and others."
Miju said: "Your Majesty, burning the history books of the Six Kingdoms is not deceiving yourself and deceiving others!"
Liu Xiu was speechless.
Miju said: "The king was hunting in the forest and got a deer. He said: This is not a deer, but a horse. The ministers will not dare to disobey the king and say that the deer is a horse. At this time, all the ministers said that the deer is a horse, so he is
Deer! What happened in history is not important. What matters is what the king needs to happen in history!"
"It doesn't matter what the truth is. What matters is what the truth is that the king needs! There is no history, so you can make up history."
Liu Xiudao: "Rou'er, what you said makes sense. But the weak adapt to the world; the strong let the world adapt to themselves. Qin Xianggong is a marquis and lives in the western border. He thinks that he is the god of the young howler, and he is the Western Chou, and the temple is white.
During the reign of Duke Xiang of Qin, gold rained down from the oak sun. Duke Xian of Qin thought he had gained gold, so he pretended to build a border with oak sun to offer sacrifices to the White Emperor. According to the Five Elements theory, Qin was obviously a country of gold and virtue, but it was still white. But for the sake of ruling the legal system.
, I had to cut my feet to fit the shoes, and changed them from white to black. The ancestors all sacrificed to the White Emperor, and their color was still white, but Rou'er asked the few people to sacrifice to the Black Emperor, and their color was still black. This is also betraying the ancestors, and the ancestors are unknown."
Liu Xiu continued: "Since it is a compilation of political lies, it is better to make a larger compilation! Just say, Xia has the virtue of fire, Shang has the virtue of earth, Zhou has the virtue of wood, and Qin has the virtue of gold!"
