Chapter 25: Dahan turns people into ghosts, Daqin turns ghosts into people
In the early morning, in a study room in the core of Yecheng, Guo Tu got up early today and came to the office early to start working, checking the orders and documents that he could check today.
As a cabinet bachelor, his task is simple and simple, which is to lead the party. People in Da Qin don't know many details of this world, and they often don't know many important things.
At this time, the importance of Guo Tu emerged. He was an authentic Han man and the head of the Guo family. He was considered a member of the aristocratic family. He was knowledgeable and well-connected, and his thinking was very broad.
His task was to translate Da Qin's ideas and Da Qin's rules in a tactful way so that the people of the Han Dynasty could accept them.
There is an idiom called Chao San Mu Si. The original meaning of the idiom is that there is a monkey farmer who feeds the monkeys three dates every morning and four dates every night. Then the monkeys want to eat more, so they don’t eat them.
Satisfied, the monkey keeper had an idea and gave the monkeys four dates to eat in the morning and three dates in the evening. Then the monkeys were very satisfied.
The total number of dates has not changed, but the monkeys are more satisfied. The same is true for many policies. If it is announced directly, the common people and nobles of the Han Dynasty may be disgusted. After the disgust accumulates to a certain level, they may rebel.
However, if local people like Guo Tu modified it, quoted scriptures, and modified it into a policy that existed in this world in ancient times, then the degree of acceptance by the Han scholars would be higher, even if the essence of this policy has not changed.
.
Reviewing one document after another, Guo Tu nodded from time to time, but suddenly his brows furrowed, and then he knocked on the red bell next to the desk.
After a while, Xi Zhicai showed up, and Guo Jia followed him to watch the fun. Today, Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia are not as slovenly as before. At least their clothes are neater and their bodies are much cleaner.
"What's going on with this document? Why didn't you send it back, Zhicai? Why didn't you explain clearly? They came from Da Qin and didn't know how powerful the family was. Don't you know either?" Guo Tu said sternly.
"This is the disposal document of the Gao family in Bohai. They treated human life carelessly and did all the bad things. In the end, the head of the family was beheaded. Adult men were beheaded directly in serious cases. Those who were not serious and just enjoyed the benefits were demoted to slaves. All this was strictly in accordance with Qin law.
What is the problem?"
With a bang, Guo Tu slapped the table hard: "Zhicai, you disappoint me so much. Is this how you serve Da Qin? Why don't you make it clear about such an important matter?"
"What is the Gao family in Bohai? It is different from the local tycoons like the Liu family in Weijun. Although the Liu family in Weijun has been passed down for hundreds of years, they are only local tycoons after all. They are not an aristocratic family. The Gao family in Bohai is recognized by the world.
Family!"
"When the Liu family of Wei County is dealt with according to the Qin law, the scholars will not say anything. At most, they will say that the Qin law is strict and the Qin Dynasty's reputation is well-deserved. That's all. When Emperor Wu was the emperor, he even moved the world's powerful to guard the tomb of the late emperor."
After all, the masters of this world are the aristocratic families!
The powerful people will die when they die, they are just rich bastards anyway!
In the hearts of aristocratic families, the status of a powerful person is only slightly better than that of a pauper, and is not even as good as that of a declining family.
Therefore, if the Liu family of Wei County dies, it will die, and if the whole family dies, the whole family will die. At most, you can complain about the Qin Dynasty, and then there will be no more.
But the Bohai Gao family is different. They are an aristocratic family and the real ruling class. The law serves them. Now they are using the law to deal with the aristocratic family. Isn't this the most ridiculous thing in the world?
"Gongze, I don't think your Majesty will care about it. The Qin Law is the greatest. Everyone is equal under the Qin Law. Even though there are aristocratic families in the Qin Dynasty, they are not the same kind of existence as the aristocratic families in the Han Dynasty."
"Not to mention the Bohai Gao family, even among all the famous families in the world, who can win the eyes of His Majesty? That is the First Emperor who dominates the world!" Xi Zhicai said seriously.
He really thought so, the Qin Law was the greatest in the Qin Dynasty, and it was impossible for a mere Bohai Gao family to let the Prime Minister's Office or His Majesty change the Qin Law for this reason.
"No, I don't want you to think that. Zhicai remembers it in the future and never say what I think. What you think really doesn't matter!"
"It's your Majesty's business whether you care or not, and it's our cabinet's business to remind you or not. We reminded you, it doesn't matter if your Majesty doesn't care, but I didn't remind you. This is our fault. Don't do this in the future!"
Having said this, Guo Tu took the disposal document with a straight face and went to see Ying Zheng.
Looking at Guo Tu's retreating figure, Xi Zhicai took a long breath: "It's indeed my fault this time. I was arrogant. But was your uncle always upright like this before?"
Guo Jia just scratched his head. It was hard to talk about this matter. Of course his uncle used to be a big bad guy, a bad and oily kind. According to Qin Fa, even ten lives would not be enough to kill him, but he is a nephew.
How can a nephew directly accuse his uncle of his fault?
After thinking for a while, Guo Jia had the answer. He smiled slightly: "The Han Dynasty turned people into ghosts, and the Daqin Dynasty turned ghosts into humans!"
Oh, I understand. Xi Zhi nodded.
…
In the study room, in front of Ying Zheng were a piece of red paper and a piece of black paper. There was a black pen placed near the red paper, and a red pen placed near the black paper.
Written on the black paper are two bright red letters: Enemy!
Written on the red paper are two conspicuous black words: Friends!
Who is our friend and who is our enemy is the most important thing.
Ying Zheng picked up the red pen and wrote three words on the black paper: Son of the Red Emperor!
If nothing else goes wrong, this Red Emperor's son must be the enemy of Da Qin. This is a question of belonging to the world. Da Qin wants him and he wants it. This is a fundamental contradiction and cannot be reconciled for the time being.
What about the aristocratic family?
Are the noble families enemies of Qin?
uncertain!
If this family focuses on inheritance and values inheritance more than anything else, then when Great Qin shows its power to engulf the world, they will take the initiative to kneel down, obey Qin's laws, and become the party that leads the way. They will do so from now on.
Really be a law-abiding Daqin person.
But if this aristocratic family focuses on the enjoyment of privileges and wealth, and values fame and fortune more than anything else, then it is very likely that they will become die-hards. They will use all available methods, even if they abandon all lower limits, they will die.
Da Qin.
Because their privileges conflict with Qin Law, and among the Qin Dynasties, Qin Law is the most important!
What about being powerful?
After thinking for a while, Ying Zheng picked up a black pen and wrote the word powerful on the red paper.
The powerful people have land, tenants, families and children, but they have no way to climb up because the aristocratic families do not recognize them.
For powerful people, Da Qin is actually better. There is a military merit system for joining the army, and there is an imperial examination system for studying. You can start from the village chief of the ninth grade.
Although the vast majority of powerful men may work hard all their lives and become a seventh-rank official, the prospect of progress through hard work is far beyond that of a strong man.
The biggest difference is hope!
In Da Qin, no matter where you are from or whether you are male or female, hope always exists!
In Dahan, the moment you are born, whether you have any hope in this life is determined!

Hearing the knock on the door, Ying Zheng didn't even raise his head: "Come in!"
"What's important for Gongze to come here?"
"Your Majesty, the Bohai Gao family is different from the Weijun Liu family. They are real aristocratic families with a long heritage. The female relatives in the family have married into many aristocratic families. Although the disciples and former officials are not as good as the Yuan family and the Yang family, they are still
Not to be underestimated.”
"Well, disciples and former officials are a relationship unique to the Han Dynasty. There is no imperial examination system in the Han Dynasty. They rely on recommendation, filial piety and integrity. Only small people can become officials if they are recommended by big people."
"People often refer to big people as benefactors, and small people as official officials. Since officials can only be appointed by recommendation, when the benefactor is in need, the official must obey the benefactor's orders unconditionally."
"Even if this order goes against the laws of the Han Dynasty, they have to obey it. Otherwise, their reputation will be ruined. Not only will they be unable to move forward in the future, but their family and future generations will be affected."
"As former officials of the Gao family, we must make a gesture. Even if some of them don't want to be hostile to the Qin Dynasty, once this matter comes out, there will be no room for change. This is just the Gao family, just at this moment."
"More importantly, once the Gao family is dealt with in this way, other aristocratic families will also change their views on the Qin Dynasty, and even directly support the Han Dynasty. This will cause many unnecessary twists and turns."
Guo Tu spoke very carefully and attentively. He listed all the possibilities with an attitude of saying that he would tell you whether you listen or not. Those who knew his identity would call him Guo Tu. If a stranger came over,
Maybe Tian Feng just opened his mouth and committed the crime!
After carefully listening to Guo Tu's advice, Ying Zheng nodded first and then shook his head.
As a minister, Guo Tu has the right to advise the monarch, which is legitimate.
As a monarch, Ying Zheng also refused the right of his ministers to advise him, which is also legitimate.
"With Great Qin's strength, the aristocratic families are not worthy of Great Qin's compromise. Those who are unwilling to cooperate and surrender will of course have no choice but to be swept into the garbage heap of history."
"In Great Qin, Qin's law is the greatest."
…
On the outskirts of Yecheng, this is where Bohai Gao's family was executed today. According to Qin law, a total of thirty-four men and six women were to be executed directly here!
When the news spread, a large number of onlookers came here spontaneously. Some of them were curious and wanted to see if the family son was different from everyone else when he died. Some of them had ulterior motives, and some
I feel like the world is changing a bit fast, and I don’t seem to be used to it. After a good sleep, I realize that the world has changed!
"Execution."
Having said this, the executioner threw down the token with the word "Behead" on it. The shirtless butcher, as if catching a chicken, easily caught a noble family member on the execution platform and put him on the execution platform.
He pressed his neck on the mechanism, locked it, and then said hello to the back.
With a flick of the brush, the machete fell down from the height. With a click of the mechanism, the big head fell off and rolled to the ground.
Seeing this scene, many people were confused. Listening to the cheers and applause around them, they also clapped along with them.
"You can't kill me, you can't kill me, my daughter is..."
Click!
"You can't kill me. Only I know where the family's secret vault is. If you kill me, you won't be able to find the wealth in the secret vault!"
