"I have read the history of China in the material world. Since the Qin Dynasty, the Xia have been going around in circles without fundamental changes, so that in modern times, they have become the sick man of East Asia, and can be bullied by any small European country.
In one fell swoop, an unequal treaty can be signed."
"Why is this happening? There are many reasons, including the responsibility of the king and the responsibility of the ministers. The kings are selfish and always think that their own world can be passed down for eternity, so they subtly weaken the military power of the Xia and castrate it from spiritual to material aspects."
"If we say that during the pre-Qin and Warring States periods, the common people were all tigers and wolves, then during the Song and Ming Dynasties, the common people were just pigs and dogs, and during the Qing Dynasty, they were just rabbits. After generations of castration, the common people became weaker and weaker, and it became difficult to rule.
It’s getting easier.”
"If there were no foreign enemies, such people would of course be the most popular with the rulers. In addition, if they are unable to do anything to maintain the stability of Confucianism, the decline of Zhuxia can be foreseen."
"Now the empire's goal is all over the world. Although His Majesty is also a hero and the top officials are all united with His Majesty, this alone is not enough!"
"Bottom-level bureaucrats and middle-level officials are not qualified enough. They do not understand the subtleties of Taoism and Dharma..."
The Confucian scholars at that time did not learn mathematics and did not know how to settle accounts, so they devalued the businessmen who sent the mathematics society to settle accounts as lowly people.
Confucian scholars don't know how to farm, when and what to plant, and they don't know how to improve tools or summarize farming methods. Fortunately, their brains have not completely turned into mush, so they still attach great importance to agriculture, even though
There is no difference between the actual operation and the second fool.
Few Confucian scholars have taken the initiative to compile an encyclopedia on agriculture. It’s not that they can’t do it, but that they don’t want to do it!
Are there any truly smart people among them?
There must be some!
But I didn’t think about it at all. Isn’t Jia Sixie, who wrote the book Qi Min Yao Shu, great? Very powerful! The book Qi Min Yao Shu is also very good, but who knows that he only started compiling it after he resigned as the prefect.
of this book!
And this is what Shang Yang is most worried about. Is Ying Zheng strong? Very strong! Are Wei Liaozi, Li Si and others strong? They are also very strong.
The top management and Ying Zheng have sufficient knowledge about Taoism, cultivation, martial arts, etc., but what about the middle and bottom levels?
"Although it is good to have enlightenment in the Nine Heavens, the empire is progressing too fast!"
Having said this, Shang Yang stretched out his right hand and began to make gestures: "In the year when Your Majesty came to the throne, there was no difference between the Qin Dynasty and the Six Kingdoms. The people ate two meals of porridge a day. When the farming was busy, they were willing to eat one dry meal."
"In the first year of the First Emperor's reign, Guanzhong was able to achieve three meals a day. Even the Six Nations could survive starvation as long as they worked hard. If compared to other dynasties, this was already a well-deserved prosperous age."
"In the 30th year of the First Emperor's reign, education for all the people was completely achieved. This year is the 75th year of the First Emperor, and the small goal of all the people practicing martial arts has also been achieved."
"But didn't His Majesty realize that all this happened too fast? It took less than a hundred years for His Majesty's cultivation to change from a Grandmaster to a True Immortal! Wei Liaozi, Li Si and others are all powerful beings now.
"The top management can still keep up with His Majesty's progress, but the middle and bottom levels are still trying to catch up with His Majesty's progress."
"Finally, there are institutional issues. The empire has begun to move towards the immortal dynasty, but the institutions, ideas, and many measures are still at the mortal stage."
"The Prime Minister, the Tingwei, and the Yushi doctor can't say bad things. From the perspective of a mortal, they are naturally perfect, but what if you look at it from the perspective of an immortal?"
There is no self-awareness of the Immortal Dynasty!
The strength has improved, but the ideology, culture, and system seem a bit backward!
They only care about keeping the people well fed, studying and practicing martial arts, but their ideological education is still stuck in the feudal or industrial era. When Shang Yang said this, Ying Zheng understood.
This is the truth, but what should we do?
The system before the Qin Dynasty was based on modern society and drew lessons from the history of various dynasties at home and abroad. It was thought that it could last for a long time, but who would have thought that in just a few decades, the system would have problems again.
"In order to unify the six countries, I worshiped Mr. Wei Liaozi as the prime minister and carried out reforms. It was less than a hundred years ago, and I didn't expect that reforms would happen again. What did Mr. Wei teach me?" Ying Zheng asked directly after sighing.
"Your Majesty, do you think Taoism is mysterious?"
"Mysterious!" Ying Zheng nodded affirmatively.
Of course Taoism is mysterious!
Wouldn't it be good to turn fossils into mud and stones into soil to communicate with waterways or even open up the Grand Canal?
Just snap your fingers and let the brush write automatically. Is it uncomfortable to rest your fingers?
With a little application of the Golden Light Spell, wouldn't it be nice to make yourself feel as if you've taken a bath to get rid of all your ailments in just one breath?
"So is today's Taoism truly integrated with the empire?"
After closing his eyes and thinking about it seriously, Ying Zheng shook his head.
In today's empire, Taoism is Taoism, and the court is the court. Although the court officials are more or less skilled in martial arts, this does not mean that Taoism and the court are organically integrated.
"The Tao method is mysterious. It can call for wind and rain, turn back time, make crops grow better, make human ginseng grow faster, and increase the yield of spiritual rice. However, the Tao method is difficult to practice, and it is very time-consuming to practice.
.You can’t expect future officials to be Taoist geniuses.”
This creates a problem. If an official is not proficient in Taoism or even does not understand Taoism, if it is an ordinary dynasty and if there are no heavens and realms, then it does not matter if the official does not understand it.
But Ying Zheng was ambitious, and the empire's goal was the vastness of the universe, so this required officials to have higher and higher quality.
In the feudal era, maintaining stability was enough. As long as the county magistrate did not cause trouble and made good friends with the local squires, he was a good official!
In the industrial age, county magistrates had to know at least some mathematics, business, and legal matters.
In the age of Reiki, the county magistrate must know martial arts and Taoism, at least understand them, and cannot be ignorant of three questions.
In the age of the heavens, if a county magistrate does not understand Taoism and Dharma, what kind of county magistrate should he be?
But where can we find so many spiritual geniuses?
Even if they are found, if they are allowed to serve as officials and work continuously every day, won't it affect the efficiency of cultivation?
It seems like there is a problem no matter what I do.
At this moment, Ying Zheng understood Shang Yang's thoughts in a trance, and said with joy on his face: "Please teach me, sir."
"When I was browsing the library inside the palace, I once saw a world of gods. In that world, there is a word called spell slots. Each mage has a certain number of spell slots. Each spell slot contains
With at least one spell, once you have the spell slot, the difficulty of becoming a mage is greatly reduced, and the spell casting is almost instantaneous, which is an advantage..."
"As for the disadvantage, when the magic network is lost, the vast majority of mages will instantly become useless, and the vast majority of spell slots and spells will become ineffective. This shortcoming is actually nothing, and it is even a good thing from a certain perspective.
."
"The Goddess of Magic can create magic nets and create spell slots based on the magic nets, allowing a large number of people with low intelligence who were originally unable to change their profession to become mages. The gods can also bestow divine spells to their believers and priests.
So can Da Qin learn from it?"
Can you study it?
It should be possible!
"I am the master of the world and I am proficient in the art of creation. There is no problem in theory in creating something similar to the magic net."
After receiving Ying Zheng's affirmative answer, Shang Yang finally laughed. He waved his hand, and a map appeared in front of him, a three-dimensional projection of Da Qin.
"After I had this idea, I found Han Feizi, the Taoist master Xiaomeng, and Mr. Tu Ling who was proficient in computers. After our argumentation and research, we had the French Open."
"The Dharma Network is essentially a mixture of human dragon energy, earth vein spiritual energy, and heavenly authority. It is of extremely high quality. Once it is built, it can divide the world's Dharma into three, six or nine levels according to their power."
"The higher the official rank, the higher the authority in the French Network, and the more spells that can be cast. The deeper the empire controls a world, the greater the power of Taoism in the French Network. When casting spells,
The consumption will be smaller.”
"The empire cannot be reformed easily, but the Liaozhai world in front of us is no problem...use this world as an experiment to establish a Great Qin with strict legal network, Taoism, and extraordinary things within the scope of supervision."
"No matter who they are, whether they are mortals or monks, they must be under the jurisdiction of the empire. The Qin law will be transformed into a legal net to connect the entire world, so that the sky net will not leak out."
"As for the person in charge of this experiment, does your Majesty have a candidate? If not, I will recommend myself. I think there is no one more suitable than me."
Is this the right thing to do? Who else could I do?
I think, I can!
Until this moment, Shang Yang showed his ambition.
As the prime minister who personally presided over the Qin Dynasty's reform, he woke up and the world changed drastically, but his position in the center was no longer there.
Prime Minister, Tingwei, Shaofu and other high-level officials are like a carrot and a pit!
He has not made any mistakes, he is still on the same page as Ying Zheng, and he has been working hard to make progress. Why should he give way to Shang Yang? Impossible!
So Shang Yang soon discovered his embarrassing situation. His contribution was recognized and included in primary school Chinese books, middle school history books, and Taixue classics. No matter how you look at it, the empire did not treat him badly.
He has a high status, high authority, and is highly respected, but he has almost no real power in his hands.
Regret?
Some regrets!
One moment he was a powerful prime minister, and the next moment he became a respected idler.
But he didn't want to mess up Da Qin because of himself, so after thinking for a long time, he found today's entry point.
At that time, I single-handedly carried out reforms and strengthened the entire Qin State.
Today, I will change the law again and build a new Daqin with dense legal network in this world!
Or it can be called Immortal Qin!
Looking at the impassioned Shang Yang, Ying Zheng nodded: "Since you have this idea, sir, let's go ahead and do it without worrying too much."
…
Too worldly
Near a teleportation gate somewhere, three Taoists each held a teleportation talisman in their hands. You looked at me and I looked at you, looking hesitant.
The three of them were all wearing Taoist robes, and they all looked like Taoist priests. The only thing they didn't look like was the painting on their chests.
One person has a tiger painted on his chest. He is also the tallest and looks the strongest, with a full beard and a rough look. His weapon is a magic sword.
One person has a deer painted on his chest. He is thin and holds a whisk in his hand. He has a more earthly aura and looks very friendly.
There is another person with a sheep painted on his chest. He is a bit shorter and fatter than the other two. He holds a stack of talismans in his left hand and a writing brush in his right hand.
"Brother, do we really want to go to Liaozhai World?" Qingyang Taoist asked anxiously.
"Yes, brother, I heard that for some reason, many second generations went to the world of Liaozhai. With their bets and their connections as masters, their lives may not be in danger, but our three brothers are just casual cultivators!"
Taoist Bailu was also a little uneasy.
Why
After letting out a long sigh, Taoist Black Tiger stroked his beard and did not look back at all: "Second brother, you are the White Deer who has attained Taoism. You have experienced many life and death catastrophes so far, but have you become an immortal?"
"Lao San, you are the Qingyang Taoist. How many years are left until your end?"
After speaking, Taoist Black Tiger turned around without waiting for the two to answer: "Second brother, you are a white deer, with a hint of auspiciousness, so you have the longest lifespan, and it is estimated that you can live for three thousand years, but third brother and I
But he can’t live this long!”
"More importantly, second brother, do you have the confidence to become a true immortal within three thousand years? The method that directly leads to a true immortal may be obtained by selling oneself, but where do you get the origin of the world necessary to become a true immortal?"
"Now that the Heavenly Court governs the world, everything has laws, even the origin of the world is no exception. Each yuan will increase how many origins of the world, and how many new true immortals can be born, are all counted!"
"More than 90% of the positions of true immortals have been intercepted by heaven, and the remaining 90% are occupied by Taoist and Buddhist sects. Only 1% is a glimmer of hope for our casual cultivators. Second brother, you really have it.
Confidence, competing with the gods in the entire supreme world?”
Taoist Bailu immediately shook his head, shaking his head like a rattle: "There is only one way to die, and ten deaths lead to no life!"
"On the surface, casual cultivators have a one percent chance, but who doesn't know that Taoism and Buddhism will not let go of even this one percent chance. The reincarnations of many true immortal disciples will also join this war. The real
There are almost no people who were born as casual cultivators and have not obtained the Taoist or Buddhist legacy, but who can also obtain the position of true immortal."
"So this Liaozhai world is our opportunity! So what if there are many dangers here? So what if we have a narrow escape here?"
"If we stay in the Taishang World, we will never live! Either we will die unexpectedly, or we will die of old age. As for selling ourselves to a certain master, that's fine if the master is kind and kind, but where can we find a suitable master in the world?"
When Taoist Black Tiger said this, both Qingyang and Bailu also lowered their heads.
