Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty-Three Conceptions About Cavalry
Historically, this set of new text teaching materials was completed by Li Si, but he did not complete it alone. Li Si completed a set of "Cangjie Pian", a total of seven chapters, and the CRRC ordered Zhao Gao to write the "Yuanli Pian"
, a total of six chapters. Taishi ordered Hu Wujing to write the "Erudition Chapter", which has a total of seven chapters. Three people wrote a total of three chapters and twenty chapters... In the Western Han Dynasty, it was compiled into a complete Cangjie Chapter. Unfortunately, this thing has long been lost.
Nowadays, Li Si is still there, but the other two are nowhere to be seen. It is still relatively difficult for Zhao Kuo to let Li Si complete it alone. However, Li Si lost two helpers and gained a more powerful helper.
Zhao Kuo was willing to assist him in completing it together, so Li Si naturally did not dare to refuse, and quickly said that he should assist Zhao Kuo in completing this enlightenment textbook.
Zhao Kuo only remembered some of the contents of the Three-Character Classic and the Thousand-Character Classic. He could not recite them completely, but he still had some impressions. The Three-Character Classic was not bad, but the moral concepts it promoted were not perfect, and there were still some differences from what Zhao Kuo thought.
The content of the Thousand-Character Classic is complicated. Compared with the Three-Character Classic, it contains more content. It is told from the beginning of the world. As an enlightenment textbook, what he and Zhao Kuo expected may still be
Worse.
If you use such readings for enlightenment, the likely result is: it is good to know the general idea of the creation of the world, but I don't understand a word. "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang" is "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang", read on and remember
It, "the heaven and the earth are black and yellow"! "The universe is primitive." Oh!...
The enlightenment textbook that Zhao Kuo wanted to write should first be simple, and secondly, teach the principles of how to behave. Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but talk about the things in Nanyang County, that is, the moral education that Xin Wu carried out in Nanyang County.
Education. Li Si is a staunch Legalist believer. He absolutely does not approve of using morality to educate people. However, Li Si is also a disciple of Xunzi, so he knows how to put a moral cloak on the law.
When Zhao Kuo first talked about moral education for the people, Li Si thought he was going to implement the Confucian method of selecting talents based on morality and replacing laws with so-called moral education. However, Li Si quickly calmed down.
His teacher had such an idea, but Zhao Kuo had been studying Legalist thought for a long time, so he probably would not be obsessed with Confucian theory of state governance.
Sure enough, Zhao Kuo's later words also proved this. Zhao Kuo was not outlawing the current laws, but to promote a moral concept, which will be gradually accepted by the people like the concept of great unification... Therefore
To complete the great unification of thought...the dominant theory is of course Zhao Kuo's theory of great unification. Assisting the great unification theory are the moral concepts that Zhao Kuo prepared to put forward.
Laws and regulations are paramount, and at the same time, the country must promote morality... People like Zhao Kuo may see it as establishing a national spirit and quickly forming Chinese national concepts and moral concepts, while people like Li Si may see it as being easier to rule.
...As long as the idea of loyalty to the emperor is taken as the mainstream moral concept... Different people can always see different things. Zhao Kuo does not feel that his influence can turn everyone in the world into moral gentlemen and saints.
.
However, he wanted to influence today's ideas. For example, the people of Yan State should not use their wives to serve guests. The people of Zhao State should not think that they would commit suicide if they could not complete their affairs. The people of Qi State should not respect those who are good.
Brave and fierce knights, people of the Chu State, don't be so superstitious about ghosts and gods. People of the Qin State, you have many problems... You have no way to restrict the people of the world from living according to your ideas.
But you need to let them know what is right, what can be encouraged, and what should be prohibited.
The Han Dynasty took moral education to the extreme. Doing things in a high-sounding manner was probably the culture cultivated in this era. He encouraged the people to be filial, friendly, and humble. The emperor set an example, and the ministers followed suit. They also established filial piety and integrity to recommend these moral people.
People come to study and become officials... What's the use of doing this? It just changes the concept of the people and lets the people know what they should do and what practices are worthy of respect.
Are the people of Qin unfilial? No, in the Qin State, if a child beats his father, the father can ask the government to kill his son directly. In the Zhao State, those who insult their father will have their tongues cut out, and those who glare at their father will have their tongues cut out.
If you lose your eyes and take action... tsk tsk, you have escaped from the hands of the government. Rangers from all over the country will definitely come to kill you when they hear about your feat. The Han Dynasty only officially promoted this trend.
The King of Qin and his officials solemnly told the people: Those who are immoral will die, those who are unfilial to their fathers will be killed, and those who encounter thieves on the road who do not help will be killed! Anyone who fights with his brothers will have his beard shaved! Steal from your neighbors to build the Great Wall!
But the Emperor of the Han Dynasty and his officials were smiling. They said to the people: People must be filial and moral. Look how filial the emperor is, and how humble we are. Moral people can be respected.
As an official, everyone must respect moral people.
The impact of these two practices is of course different. The moral education of the Han Dynasty made China a country of formal etiquette and emphasis on morality. At the same time, this also caused chaos later, and people deliberately put on a show.
, pursuing a reputation for morality... But the Han Dynasty didn't care about this. He promoted these not to get real moral gentlemen, but just to make people pay attention to morality. As long as they achieve their goals, what's the point of showing off?
Will such filial piety and honesty lead to incompetent people serving as officials? I think too much, my friend, filial piety and honesty only make you qualified to enter school. Unless you are a famous person with both morality and talent, you still have to study hard.
, you can only become an official after being recognized... The ancients were not fools, they also knew what would happen if they had morality but no talent... And the current military merit system of Qin State will lose a lot of effect in the unification environment.
Because there is no war.
The Han Dynasty used this method to cultivate talents and cultivate moral people into talented and learned people, killing two birds with one stone.

Of course, what Zhao Kuo wanted was not to completely reproduce the teachings of the Han Dynasty. He wanted to unite this moralism with the current Qin State. For example, if there is a gentleman with good morals in the place, then he can be admitted.
The opportunity to study can be rewarded, just like Xiaolian, but at the same time, the spirit of the law cannot be discarded, and it cannot be too lax like in the early Western Han Dynasty. However, after completing the one-kingdom of the world, it must be relaxed.
It will take at least fifty years for the people to completely become Qin people, and then they can gather the power of the country to accomplish more things.
Moral education is indispensable, but morality cannot just be filial piety and humility. Behaviors such as professionalism are worthy of reward... Zhao Kuo is full of thoughts about the theory of governing the country by combining law and morality, while Li Si is full of thoughts.
Laws cloaked in morality, but the two of them could still continue chatting because Li Si would not speak out his true thoughts, nor would he be as persistent as Han Fei.
Zhao Kuo felt that if he told Han Fei these things, he could make up a set of moral laws and force the people to implement them. However, moral education cannot be legal provisions, but can only be an encouragement to encourage you to do so.
It's the right thing to do, but I can't say I'll kill you if you don't do it.
Zhao Kuo and Li Si discussed it for almost a whole day until the next day, when Li Si bid farewell to Zhao Kuo respectfully and took over the matter of enlightenment textbooks.
Zhao Kuo was still in a very good mood. He was walking on the street, looking at the people along the road, thinking about how to complete the transition from separatism to unity... When he walked to the door of his house, he was surprised to find a
The skinny half-year-old child was chatting with Shan... The two of them were standing not far from the door of the house, Shan was talking eloquently, and the little boy just listened and giggled from time to time.
At that moment, Zhao Kuo seemed to hear the sound of his own heart breaking.
His cabbage...met a little pig.
Resisting the urge to crush the piglet to death, Zhao Kuo turned around and continued wandering around. Walking on the streets of Xianyang, Zhao Kuo's thoughts were extremely confused. This may be something that every father with a daughter will experience.
, thinking about the little boy and Shan being together, thoughts abounded, and thinking that Shan would leave his side one day, his mood became even more depressed, accompanied by an inexplicable anger.
Zhao Kuo knew clearly that this was a normal thing, but he still couldn't bear it. In such a mood, he unknowingly turned around and came to Zhao Kang's house.
Zhao Kang was coaxing his children. When he saw his father walking into the house, he came up with a smile and the two sat down. Zhao Kang quickly noticed Zhao Kuo's complicated expression and asked in surprise: "Father?"
What happened?"
"Nothing...nothing...by the way, why didn't you celebrate with Li Mu?"
"Hey, General Li Mu has been at General Wang Jian's residence these days. The two of them were chatting happily, and it's so late to see each other..." Zhao Kang shook his head and said, "They even said that they would work together to formulate a military art...
.”
Zhao Kuo was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but frown, and he said: "I just saw Shan He and a boy chatting with him at the corner..." Zhao Kang was stunned and stood up quickly.
Zhao Xiu handed it to Zhao Kuo, picked up the wooden stick from the side, and rushed out of the mansion. Zhao Kuo looked at him but did not dissuade him... Well, this has nothing to do with me... It has nothing to do with me, Zhao Kuo
Kuo thought about it and teased the little grandson in his arms.
Soon, the people of Xianyang were surprised to find that the demon king of Wu Chenghou's family began to beat people again. He was holding a wooden stick and chasing a boy, running around Xianyang. Of course, the local officials quickly stopped Ma Fujun.
His illegal behavior saved the boy's life... Zhao Kang was blocked by the officials. He looked at the guy in the distance and cursed angrily: "Don't let me see you again! Otherwise, your legs will be broken!"
.....
Meng Tian was contacting the archery skills in the mansion. Suddenly he saw his panting brother rushing into the courtyard, and hurriedly closed the door. Then he leaned against the door, panting... Looking at his brother's appearance, Meng Tian put down his hand.
He held the bow and arrow in his hand and asked curiously: "What? Are you being chased by a dog again?" Meng Yi looked at his brother, but hurriedly shook his head, lowered his head again, and did not dare to speak.
All members of Meng Ao's family are tall and thick, Meng Wu is like this, Meng Tian is like this too, they have a muscular general physique, but Meng Yi is thin and delicate... Following his mother, this is why Meng Tian firmly believes that his brother is not suitable for the battlefield.
Because he was too thin... Seeing that his brother seemed to be bullied, Meng Tian, who had always liked to bully him, was a little angry. He came to Meng Yi and asked seriously: "What's going on?"
"No...nothing..."
"What do you mean, it's nothing, who is chasing you?" Meng Tian frowned, pushed him away, opened the door, and looked at the street, but there was no one there. Faced with his brother's aggressiveness, Meng Yi blushed.
He looked helplessly and said: "It's Zhao... Ma Fujun..."
"Zhao Kang?? How can someone as big as him chase you??" Meng Tian looked confused.
"Then...if I tell you, won't you tell others?"
"good..."
"you swear?"
"I swear not to tell anyone."
"I like Wu Chenghou's daughter Shan...she is very interesting...very beautiful..." Meng Yi said nervously, his whole body trembling. He saw his brother's eyes widening. Meng Tian understood that Zhao
Why did Kang want to beat him? Meng Tian nodded, looked at the inner room, and shouted: "Father!!!"
That day, young Meng Yi learned two things. The first one was not to fall in love prematurely, otherwise everyone would shout for beating, and his father beat him until he could hardly get up. The second one was that his elder brother gave his younger brother a haircut.
His oaths are all nonsense, this cannot be believed.
...
Sitting at home, Zhao Kang frowned, Shan stood not far away, lowered his head, wiping his tears, while Zhao Kang was angry, gritted his teeth, and cursed: "If that kid hadn't run so fast, I would have
Just beat him to death!" Yi was still trying to persuade Kang not to be angry, but the more Zhao Kang talked, the more excited he became. Yi looked helplessly at Zhao Kuo, and then Zhao Kuo reprimanded: "How old is he?
, and so impulsive!”
Facing his father, Zhao Kang still lowered his head helplessly, but he was still very angry.
"Don't do this again... Your sister has grown up. If you keep fighting like this, what will she do in the future?" Zhao Kuo said for a moment, and suddenly fell silent again. Yi pulled Shan away, leaving only Shan.
Father and son, Zhao Kang shook his head and said: "Father... I understand everything you said, but when I saw that kid, I felt angry and wanted to beat him. Oh, tell me, why did Shan grow up?
Well...how come it’s so fast?”
Zhao Kuo squinted his eyes and asked, "Do you know whose child that is?"
"I didn't recognize it. Shan must know it... Why don't you ask and we can go there..."
"Nonsense!"
"Don't worry about it anymore... I have some ideas about the cavalry problem you mentioned. In a few days, I will take you to see the Mo family and let them help you find a solution. I just have an idea.
, I don’t know how to do it specifically, they may be able to help you... If it can be completed successfully, the next world will be the world of cavalry..." Zhao Kuo forcibly transferred his thoughts to the military.
