Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 516 No one can control me
Zhao Si smiled and patted the other party's shoulder.

"Resent?"

Jane nodded, then shook her head.

"Tell me about it..." Zhao Si said calmly.

"Since Shang Jun opened his school, the legal officials in the pass have been passed down from generation to generation. I have read the laws of Qin since I was a child, and I have awakened myself. I have never...never done anything that violated the law. This is the only thing I am willing to die to apologize for.

But Your Highness, the academy is the foundation of Great Qin.

The old people of the Six Kingdoms disobeyed the king's rule, made arrogant opinions about the emperor, slandered the government, refused to change despite repeated admonitions, and violated the ban many times. Since His Majesty unified the people of the Six Kingdoms..."

Zhao Si smiled when he heard the sound: "Look, what did Gu Qian say in court again?"

Zhao Si knelt down and sighed.

"I never feel that you have done something wrong, but what you have done is not good enough."

"My eldest father told me that the old Qin people in the pass are the foundation of the Qin Dynasty. I also think so, but now there are not enough legal officials in the world. If the scholars in the world are willing to learn the laws of Qin, enroll in the office, and govern the place according to the laws of Qin, then what will happen to their origins?" What are the schools of thought and what are the differences?

Yes, it's because we didn't do well enough.

You can't just leave something that you can't eat to go rancid, right? "Zhao Si smiled.

Don’t you think that once the school is opened, there will be a mixed bag of legal officials?
How can new officials and hundreds of schools of thought be able to keep an eye on them one by one? "Zhao Si asked.

No matter how hard the legal officials in the pass work, how can the officials of one country deal with the land of seven countries?
At this stage, the Qin Dynasty spared no effort to implement the Qin Law. However, due to the complexity of the Qin Law and the lack of legal officials, many aspects could only remain superficial.

You must also die to apologize.

"You can't die, at least not now."

Of course, Zhao Si said this purely based on the fact that this is impossible to achieve.

"No... Gu will not punish you." Zhao Si shook his head.

"If the officials of the old Qin people in the pass are enough, why should I abandon the near and seek the far away?" Zhao Si said with a smile.

With the complicated Qin laws of the Qin Dynasty, without the support of a large enough group of officials, everything was a mirror image.

"You don't need to say it. I know that you have grievances in your heart. Not only you, but also the officials in the customs have grievances in their hearts. After all, you have done nothing wrong." Zhao Si said in a deep voice.

Jian may not completely believe Zhao Si's words, but at this point, he must admit it.

But now Zhao Si stood in front of him and told them clearly that he was only giving away what they couldn't eat to others, and he still firmly believed that they were the roots of Da Qin.

"What? Do you think Gu's words are high-sounding? Do you think Gu is lying to you?" Zhao Si shook his head and patted Jian's shoulder.

Zhao Si used his identity as Taisun and promised to grant him amnesty!
Who would want to die if he could live?

"I am the crown prince, and I am qualified to pardon you." Zhao Si shook his head.

"Are you distrusting the people of the Six Kingdoms, or are you afraid of the old Qin people in the pass? Are you afraid that they will steal your position?" Zhao Si asked.

It's just that... we didn't do a good enough job, so His Highness had no choice but to use various schools of thought and new officials.

As Zhao Si said, the legal officials in the pass have always believed that they have done nothing wrong and deserve the attention of the court.

If Zhao Si talks to him, he will have a lot of complaints.

The school is the root of the legal officials in Guan Nei, so Zhao Si opened the school, and the legal officials in Guan Nei were like being touched by the reverse scale, subconsciously thinking that Zhao Si was going to sweep them into the garbage heap of history.

Jane heard the sound...surprised light flashed in her eyes.

Zhao Si...does not intend to abandon the legal officials in Guanzhong.

But Zhao Si played the emotional card.

If Da Qin wants to truly unify people's hearts, it must accept people from the six countries, from politics, to economy, to people's livelihood, to all aspects.

I still need you to help me keep an eye on them...

"You are the root of Da Qin, you must help Da Qin, and you cannot cause chaos to Da Qin.

Yes...it is well known to everyone in the world that the Qin Dynasty has insufficient legal officials.

At this moment, Jane truly believed Zhao Si's words.

Opening the school room means being alone. If you act like this, how will you let alone get along? "Zhao Si asked.

When Zhao Si talked about honor and loyalty, Jane had no room to refute.

"Your Highness, I have violated the laws of Qin, and there is absolutely no reason to forgive me..."

"I have always liked to speak directly and never lie. Now that the school is open, hundreds of schools of thought are taking action, and the officials in the pass are panicking. If you die in this stall, you will only fulfill the wishes of the people in the world. It will be even more difficult for the legal officials in the pass to deal with themselves." Zhao Si said.

This hole will be opened sooner or later, and it has nothing to do with whether there are enough legal officials in the customs.

Jane was shocked to realize that Zhao Si did not want to abandon them.

"Please punish me, Your Highness!" Jane's face became increasingly sad.

Jian's face turned red when she heard this: "Your Highness..."

In other words, when Jian Yi acted in anger, he was ready to die.

"Someone has to take care of the things you can't finish. You have to help Da Qin. Listen to Gu and don't cause trouble to Gu." Zhao Si said.

"There are hundreds of schools of thought, and people's minds are very different. The opening of the school is due to the lack of legal officials, but it is not because of the lack of trust in the old Qin people in the pass.

If all the legal officials come from Guanzhong, and the old people of the Six Kingdoms can only rely on the people of Qin, then no matter what, the Qin State will be in turmoil sooner or later.

But it is undoubtedly Zhao Si's regret that these words fell into Jane's ears.

This made Jane even more ashamed. In the final analysis, there were not enough legal officials in the customs.

Therefore, under this situation, it is really inappropriate to cause trouble to His Highness.

Not only did His Highness not abandon the legal officials in Guan, he even needed their help.

Yes, aren’t the old people of the Six Kingdoms, the new officials, and even the various schools of thought heretics?
Your Highness has opened the school, will you really feel relieved?
It's just a helpless move...

Jian believed it, but he couldn't help but not believe it.

"Of course, death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be avoided... After all, what you did..." Zhao Si pointed at Li Si.

"Demoted to the third level, fined to the second level, and one year's salary...can I plead guilty?" Zhao Si asked.

"I plead guilty!" Jian paused upon hearing this.

If there is truth, the truth or falsehood of the words is not important, what is important is the actual behavior.

The fact that Jane was arrested but pardoned by Zhao Si can explain many problems.

In fact, letting Jane go can indeed effectively alleviate conflicts.

There is no doubt about the loyalty of the legal officials in the pass. Just opening a school will not lead to a situation where the legal officials in the pass and the prince of Qin are at loggerheads.

So there needs to be a step between each other.

Zhao Si gave the officials in Guan a higher level of authority, and most of them chose to accept it.

Of course, Zhao Si secretly sent people to spare no effort in publicity also accounted for a large part of the reason.

The legal officials in the pass are a group, but not a party. The core cohesion is actually not that strong, especially after Li Si, the nominal leader, publicly betrayed them.

Of course, Zhao Si's pardon was not just to reassure the legal officials in the customs.

Similarly, it is also made for the beneficiaries of the open school room. Hundreds of schools of thought, new officials, these groups have been suppressed by the legal officials in the pass for too long.

At a time of life and death, involving academic and ideological disputes, whenever Zhao Si shows signs of disliking the officials within the customs, they will spare no effort to promote party strife and strive to sweep the old officials into the garbage heap of history.

After all, this is their last hope.

Whether it is healthy competition or excessive slowness, it is all a means. Da Qin has already unified the world, and it is indeed time for transformation.

However, it does not mean that there must be a partisan struggle, whether it is me or not.

The six kingdoms and new officials can be used, and the legal officials in the customs are also living people. Can't their thoughts be changed subtly?

Jane is just a pian, but the pardon given to Jane is quite meaningful.

"Look... I'm telling you, Your Highness is not an unwise person!"

In front of Zhao Si's mansion, Lu Sheng, who was riding on the back of a donkey, looked at Huang Shigong sitting on the bullock cart with a smile.

"The legal officials in the pass are harsh at the top and crippled at the bottom. They go against the times and will eventually be abandoned." Huang Shigong shook his head and closed his eyes.

"You are only allowed to be flexible, but the legal officials in the pass are not allowed to keep pace with the times?" Lu Sheng laughed when he heard this.

"I've never heard of such a theory... Could it be that the people of Qin can still disobey the king's order?"

Huang Shigong frowned when he heard the sound, but didn't say much.

The exchange between the two in front of Zhao Si's mansion alerted the guarding officials, so they stepped forward to drive them away.

"I heard that His Highness issued an order to recruit sages from all over the world, so I came here from my hometown. Do you think your Highness has enough sages already?" Lu Sheng asked as he saw the ministers driving away.

Fortunately, there are no bloody pretentious and slap-in-the-face stories.

The recruitment order was issued by Zhao Si himself, and the officials in Zhao Si's mansion were trained by Ji Cheng, a cautious person.

After hearing the order to recruit talents, he did not dare to drive them away on his own initiative, so he bowed and apologized, and invited the two of them into the mansion according to the procedure to prepare pens, inks, paper and inkstones for the examination.

Lu Sheng was surprised when he saw this: "There are capable people in His Highness's residence..."

Huang Shigong said nothing, and the two expressed their opinions on the blank paper, then sealed it and handed it to the ministers, and enjoyed their meal in Zhao Si's mansion with peace of mind.

As time went by, the order to recruit talents became more and more widespread.

In this era, there is never a shortage of people who want to be valued by nobles and soar to the sky.

Therefore, almost every day, Zhao Si's mansion would entertain many people who hoped to become successful through recruitment.

Lu Sheng and Huang Shigong had prepared the test before they came, so they were not out of the blue and mingled peacefully among the people participating in the recruitment assessment.

Neither Huang Shigong nor Lu Sheng was young. Both of them had gray hair on their temples. They were somewhat conspicuous among the crowd, so they aroused many people's surprise.

Fortunately, there was no fuss.

Time passes quietly... Zhao Si is very busy...

The news of the opening of the school room had already started to spread, and Zhao Si was busy working with Li Si to set the exam time.

Because of the various scholars and new officials, the trial opening of the school in Guanzhong cannot be too urgent, and the talents from all over the world must be given some time to get on their way.

Zhao Si is also busy with war mobilization.

Regarding the Maurya Dynasty, the First Emperor has already given a positive answer.

War is inevitable...

"Over the Maurya Dynasty, I plan to appoint Li Xin as commander. What does father think?" Zhao Si asked.

"Yes, Li Xin is talented and intelligent. After his experience in attacking Chu, he is now considered stable and will not make any mistakes. But how long do you plan to fight? The Mauryan Dynasty is too far away. Once the war is ruined, I am afraid that Qin's logistics will not be able to continue." Fusu asked.

"Try to control it within a year... As for the logistics of food and fodder, I have mentioned Li Xin's famous sayings in the letter. Based on the experience of Marquis Huaili, I think I can judge how far the attack will go. As for how much it will take, to be honest, I will I am unable to interfere. The Peacock Kingdom is indeed too far away. Once a war starts, it will take half a year for the government order to be transmitted. It is impossible to rely on the temple. I can only watch Huaili Hou's performance in the battle. All I can do is to prepare it before the war. Try to arrange everything you can think of." Zhao Si sighed.

"In this case..." Fusu frowned.

"Maritime affairs are different from other matters. Military orders are difficult to convey..." Fusu frowned instinctively.

It's war time again, and Li Xin's rights will expand infinitely.

"It's time to send someone to oversee the army..." Fusu said.

Zhao Si was stunned when he heard the sound and patted his head.

"It's time to send someone to supervise the army..."

Unlike previous wars, which were limited to the Central Plains, coupled with Qin's special military system, the power of the governor was not very great, almost nonexistent.

The Qin State has a military merit system for military service, so there is no such thing as one's army.

Thanks to the scientific military system of the Qin Dynasty, the management of the Qin army was basically plug-and-play.

The upper limit is not high, but the lower limit is not low either.

But it's different overseas...

In fact, strictly speaking, the situation of Qin has changed after the unification.

After all, the former Qin State only had the land within Guan, and such a large place was not far from Xianyang. In addition, the Qin State's military system could not support itself at all.

But after the unification, because of the need to guard the border for a long time, there were actually signs of this.

The Great Wall Corps in Longxi, the Kaifeng Regiment in Lingnan...

In this case, not to mention overseas, which is extremely far away from Daqin.

It was okay when there was no war, but once the war started, Li Xin's personal power was boundless. It was difficult to say that the generals would fight according to the above budget.

Even raising bandits to respect themselves... is not impossible.

Fusu gave Zhao Si a heads up, but it wasn't that he didn't trust Li Xin.

Instead, we should take advantage of this moment to set up the rules.

Li Xin is loyal, but what about the others?

Moreover, loyalty is not a test. With the golden mountain in front of you, even people who are not greedy may be forced to become greedy.

"It's just that if a warlord is sent, he must be able to convince the public, have reputation and qualifications, and at the same time, he must not cause trouble..." Zhao Si rubbed his eyebrows.

Remote control micro-control is a must...

But the warlord must have the power. If he doesn't have the power... then there is no point in sending him out. But if he relies on his power to dictate, it will lead to the battlefield being corrupted.

Later emperors usually sent eunuchs to oversee the army...

What now……

A figure suddenly flashed across Zhao Si's mind.

"Wang Li!"

Zhao Si thought of his friend whom he had forgotten for a long time.

Wang Li wants a family with a family background, a family with ability, a family with achievements...

Well, with just the four characters Wang Jian's grandson, he is qualified enough to supervise the army.

The most important thing is that Wang Li will not cause trouble, and Zhao Si can trust him!
