Zhao Zheng, who had lived in the State of Zhao since he was a child and had not been discriminated against or bullied, obviously had a greater sense of identification with the State of Zhao. In his previous life, Zhao Kuo seemed to have heard that Zhao Zheng was bullied in Handan when he was young.
After the Qin Kingdom, he slaughtered all the nobles in Handan. But now, he does not hate the Zhao people. He even couldn't find any playmates in the Qin Kingdom. He just played with the children of Zhao Kuo's retainers every day.
This made Zhao Zheng inevitably tainted with the customs of the State of Zhao. He revealed a kind of bravery, heroism and nosy in his bones, just like a Handan native who came to Xianyang to do business and pointed disdainfully at Xianyang.
He does not regard this place as his home. However, the child is still young. Zhao Zheng, who was born in the forty-eighth year of King Qin, is now only seven years old. This sense of identity will slowly take shape.
Zhao Kuo no longer took Zhao Zheng to visit his real father and eldest father. Ying Yiren came several times and brought gifts to Zhao Zheng. And the Yangquan Lord also came to confess to him. It seemed that
He was scolded by An Guojun and looked very scared. Zhao Kuo did not get angry with him anymore, accepted his apology and apologized to him for being rude, and the two reconciled.
However, Zhao Kuo and Yangquan Jun really didn't get along very well. This Yangquan Jun was curious about rare treasures and was flamboyant. He would talk about beauties or treasures. This made Zhao Kuo have a bad sense of him, and they only had a few contacts.
Every time, I avoided seeing him.
The New Deal was promoted very quickly in the Qin State. With the efforts of the officials, the Qin State quickly completed the reform of the old official positions. A new official position system emerged. Many military disciples from the school flocked to the top political positions.
, serving as important positions such as official, chief minister, and prime minister of the Three Gongs and Nine Ministers. This was a completely new change for the Qin State. Han Fei believed that the "competitions" often held in Qin were a very good system, so he proposed
Apply this system to the positions of Sangong and Jiuqing.
It is probably based on political performance, who has done more things, who has done the best, and who has made breakthroughs in the field in charge.
King Qin also became very busy and had no time to visit Zhao Kuo again. Zhao Kuo was also happy to have such leisure time. He took advantage of this opportunity and once again ran a school in his courtyard to teach his disciples, so that he had no
What comes to mind is that the King of Qin directly vacated the largest school in Xianyang for him. This was originally a place to train officials. The King of Qin ordered another school to be built for them elsewhere, and this school was complete in all aspects.
room and gave it directly to Zhao Kuo.
The number of disciples who followed Zhao Kuo to Qin was not too many, only more than fifty people came with him, and the rest of the disciples returned to their own countries.
In the Qin State, there were indeed many people who wanted to become Zhao Kuo's disciples. After Zhao Kuo moved into the new school, hundreds of people poured in. Zhao Kuo sat on top and looked at the disciples around him.
, Compared with the original disciples who were undisciplined, the new Qin disciples looked solemn, holding pens and bamboo slips, and looked at Zhao Kuo seriously. No matter what Zhao Kuo said, they would write it down, and the rigor engraved in their bones made them
They are more like soldiers than disciples who come to learn.
Zhao Kuo's education method has always been relaxed. He doesn't like lifeless classes, nor does he like classes that are too serious. Classes are inherently communication between teachers and disciples. Everyone can put forward their own ideas. Occasionally Zhao Kuo wants to
He was active in class and could tell a few jokes. Those Qin disciples usually hesitated for a long time. When they saw the old disciples laughing, they managed to squeeze out a smile and let out a fake laugh for a moment.
Zhao Kuo looked at these disciples with a solemn expression.
"Why do you come here to study?"
He asked an irrelevant question.
"We want to be officials."
These disciples were honest and did not lie. Zhao Kuo nodded and said: "I know why you have to keep a straight face and be so serious. This is because the law is serious and solemn. Everyone in the future
We are all people who want to enforce the law. But people, people shouldn’t be like this. People should learn to laugh and live happily. You are the ones enforcing the law at work, and you can be serious, but on weekdays,
You are all individuals, and people cannot have only one emotion!"
Therefore, Zhao Kuo's first lesson was to teach these future officials to laugh.
He did not continue to stay in the school. He took these disciples out of Xianyang and even took them to Taoshan to see the scenery there. He also organized several football matches for them to compete and play.
Zhao Kuo's move caused a great sensation in Xianyang. The officials of Qin State could not understand it. Since Lord Shang, Qin State has been deliberately curbing all things that have nothing to do with farming and war. What kind of poetry is this?
, is it beneficial to farming? Is it beneficial to war? If not, then don’t do it. If you dare to talk about poetry, you will be sentenced! Playing? Is playing beneficial to farming? Is it beneficial to war? No? Then don’t play! Dare to waste
The sentence of time!
A child is born with a disability? Raise him up, will he be able to farm? Will he be able to fight? No? Then fall to death, he will hinder the Qin State.
The people of Qin never waste their energy on other things. Now Zhao Kuo took his disciples to play and even taught them some useless things. This naturally aroused the confusion of the officials. The censor Wang Lu was the first to ask the King of Qin
To impeach Zhao Kuo, he accused Zhao Kuo of not fulfilling his duties and leading people to commit loitering crimes, which could be arrested. The King of Qin did not agree. He rejected the censor's proposal on the grounds that Wu Chengjun had just arrived in Qin and did not know the laws of Qin.
However, he also sent someone to invite Zhao Kuo to the palace in a hurry.
Zhao Kuo led his disciples to watch the beautiful scenery in Taoshan. In spring, the entire Taoshan was awash in red, just like a world in a painting. Such a beautiful scenery would touch anyone. Zhao Kuo led his disciples
Wandering around here, he said seriously: "The law has no emotions. Of course, those who enforce the law must strictly follow the law without emotions, but those who enforce the law must not be emotionless.
.”
“In the face of criminals who kill innocent people indiscriminately, officials should angrily accuse them; in the face of disaster victims in need of help, officials should have compassion; in the face of people who need education, officials should be patient and teach them what they can do and what they should do.
Can not do"
Zhao Kuo finally brought them back to Xianyang, and as soon as he returned to Xianyang, he was invited to the palace by King Qin.
The King of Qin smiled and asked Zhao Kuo to sit next to him. Then he asked: "Is your family still well?" Zhao Kuo nodded, and the two chatted for a while, before the King of Qin started talking.
After getting down to business, he said: "I have heard that you are taking your disciples to Taoshan. If you want to travel, of course no one will dissuade you, but those officials should spend more energy learning the law.
"Law Study and Law Enforcement"
"I took them to Taoshan just to teach them how to enforce the law."
Zhao Kuo said seriously: "I haven't heard any laughter since I came to Qin. Of course, you also said that it is enough to hear breathing. But what I know is:
If a country blindly rules the people through power and constantly drives them to do things through interests, then such a country will not last long. Xunzi once said this on Peach Mountain."
"You also agreed at the time."
"The Qin State currently bases all its systems on farming and war. I can understand this. This gives the Qin State a strong fighting capacity and the strength to rule the world. But the Qin State cannot always
If things continue like this, sooner or later the people will hate this system and this kind of life, and when there is no interest to drive them anymore, they will definitely lose their sense of identity with the Qin State."
The King of Qin said helplessly: "What you said can be implemented after the king has conquered the world. When Qin has no enemies, it can give the people laughter appropriately. But now, this is impossible."
"Are you worried that such a move will affect Qin's national strength?" Zhao Kuo said again: "The laws of Qin can be appropriately modified to reduce the cruel punishments and give the people time to breathe." Zhao Kuo thought about it.
After a while, he said again: "After the busy farming, officials from various places can organize appropriate entertainment activities." When he heard about the entertainment activities, King Qin frowned and hesitated.
Zhao Kuo shook his head helplessly and said: "Don't worry, the tug-of-war, football, Taju and other games I mentioned in the horse service book are all conducive to war, which can increase the people's morale.
Cohesion, or even organizational strength, you can ask the local area to set up a football team and hold competitions. This will not affect the farmers. The people have their own entertainment activities. This is another form of exercise. I told you that you won’t do it either.
If you believe it, please come to my house and I'll let you see it for yourself."
Cuju already existed in this era. Of course, Cuju existed a long time ago and is now called Taju. However, it is completely different from football. Taju can probably be regarded as fancy football. One person can play Cuju and then make tricks.
It is different from a team sport like football. King Qin called Lu Buwei, Wang Lu, Meng Ao and others, and rushed to Zhao Kuo's mansion. Zhao Kuo's mansion was big enough to be used as a football venue.
As soon as they arrived here, King Qin and his ministers were in a daze. They looked at the two tall doorframes and fishing nets. Is this Taju?? They saw many people gathered here and divided them into two groups according to different costumes.
There was a group, and they only had one Cuju player. After the game started, Di, who was tall and powerful, started dribbling the ball. At first, these people looked at it with a critical eye, but as they watched, they started to see it.
Fascinated.
King Qin was okay, but Old General Meng Ao couldn't help but clapped his hands and shouted. He watched these people collide with each other, and bypassed the opponent's defense by dividing the ball. He watched them cooperate with each other and finally win.
This made Meng Ao thoughtful. He couldn't help but look at Zhao Kuo in the distance. At this moment, Zhao Kuo was waving his hands excitedly. As a fan, the happiest thing is to be able to see a football match in 252 BC.
.
The only drawback is that the football is easily broken.
King Qin squinted his eyes and asked with a smile: "What do you think of Lord Wu Cheng's proposal?"
Meng Ao nodded and said: "Yes, this kind of game values the cooperation between groups. I think confrontation is okay."
Lu Buwei said seriously: "I have calculated that a game lasts only an hour, and it will not affect the agriculture. However, I am worried that after this kind of game is promoted, people everywhere will be addicted to having fun.
Work hard again." King Qin squinted his eyes, looked at the excited Zhao Kuo in the distance, and then said: "What impact can the common people have if they play Taju in their spare time?"
"Then let's settle it."
"only!!"
Sure enough, as Zhao Kuo thought, King Qin agreed to his proposal and began to promote this game in various countries. This was the first time in Qin that the government encouraged people to play??? The people of Qin were stunned.
However, after hearing that this was a game created by Wu Chengjun, they were still looking forward to it. Soon, the officials in Xianyang were the first to organize the people to play football. The officials did not know why they wanted to take them to play football, but this was
They cannot disobey the king's orders.
From the countryside to the county town, you can hear people running back and forth everywhere, kicking the football into the door frame hard, and everyone hugging each other. Serious officials serve as referees, standing not far away, planning for them.
Points. To stop those foul behaviors, the promotion of football games was extremely successful in Qin State. Every household went out to watch the games, and the selected elites worked hard on the court.
After a day of hard work in farming, people would occasionally gather together to play football.
The officials did not stop it, as long as it did not affect the mulberry farming.
The people of Qin, who had been stifled for too long, were instantly addicted to this only legal game. The efficiency of the Qin State was very high. Less than half a month after the King of Qin gave the order here, various places had already started to promote it, and the people
They gathered together happily, and smiles appeared on the faces of the officials. An atmosphere of joy was spreading in Qin, and the original silence was quickly broken. When the people were farming, they were happily talking about yesterday's events.
Compete and work hard.
Not everyone is happy to see this change in Qin State.
Many people feel that Zhao Kuo has destroyed the foundation of Shang Jun's century-old system and allowed the people to indulge and play. Sooner or later, Qin will have to pay a serious price!
Zhao Kuo ignored these words. He just mingled among the people watching the football match, cheering with the people, listening to the laughter around him, and watching the young people rushing around crazily after scoring goals.
The common people signaled and watched them embrace each other passionately. Smiles finally appeared on those sad and serious faces, and the suppressed hot hearts finally began to beat again.
