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

Chapter 73 Where is my merit?

How can it be seen that Qin is stronger than the Six Kingdoms?

Zhao Si pondered for a while.

"Qin is stronger than the Six Kingdoms in five ways: plowing, war, officials, law! King!"

Zhao Si pondered for a moment and said: "Everyone in the Seven Kingdoms knows that farming is the most important thing for the country!"

"But I read Shang Jun's book. Among the Seven Kingdoms, only Qin used rewards and punishments to restrain the people. If you farm more, you will be rewarded, and if you farm less, you will be punished. To promote the plow tools of the cattle, it is whether the cattle are properly cared for and whether they are healthy. In the evaluation among officials, the officials are judged by how much they have cultivated, and the rewards and punishments are clearly defined."

"None of the Seven Kingdoms knows that war is the most important thing for a country! I read the books of Shang Jun, and I know that Qin is not the country that first promotes military meritorious service. Food is labor and reward is meritorious. If there is ability, rewards must be done and punishments must be due.Fang has the hegemony of the Wei State!

Wu Qi of the state of Chu advocated that the descendants of the emperor should receive the rank and salary of the third generation, exterminate the ranks of hundreds of officials, and damage the ranks of the branches who are not in a hurry.

Both Qi State and Yan State also promoted Ming Juelu, and meritorious service should not be granted.

All countries implemented the military merit system before Qin, and each achieved a certain hegemony, but in the end they could not maintain it. On the contrary, only Qin was able to unify the world and destroy the six countries. "

"All the six kingdoms of farming and warfare are important, but Qin is unified. In my opinion, it is because Qin is stronger than the king, stronger than officials, and stronger than the law!"

"The punishment of the Qin State is heavy, the penalty of the Six Kingdoms is light, the reward of the Qin State is light, and the reward of the Six Kingdoms is heavy.

But the state of Qin punished them heavily, and the common people and ministers treated them equally.Not one more point!The penalty of the six countries is light, the nobles are light and the common people are heavy.

The Qin State rewarded lightly, and the contribution of the common people would not be less than half. The six countries rewarded heavily, but the nobles paid more and the common people less.

Qin Yishou judged meritorious service. If he could not judge meritorious service for three days, the local county official would be questioned. If he could not judge meritorious service for seven days, he would be punished. Cannot be released late.Because the officials of the Qin State were clear and law-abiding, although the punishments were heavy and the rewards light, Li and the common people also paid a lot. "

"And the six kingdoms are not without a hero. When the hero is in power, with capable ministers assisting, the six kingdoms have hegemony one after another.

But after the hero, there is also a faint king. Only the Qin Dynasty replaced the hero, and the six countries only wanted to separate the hegemony, and only the Qin king wanted to unify. "Zhao Si expressed his opinion.

Reading these days is not without reward.Zhao Si already had a little understanding of this era.

Qin, the border country!

The importance of farming and warfare was not the first in Qin.

The innate conditions of the Qin Dynasty were not very good. The Six Kingdoms had proposed the military merit system of heavy farming and heavy warfare a long time ago, and it did not appear after Shang Yang's reform.

The six countries have also received dividends and achieved some hegemony because of the reforms, and Qin is by no means a pioneer.

This trick played by the Qin State is actually the benefit of the predecessors, but why is it that only the Qin State does not achieve a hegemony, but dominates the world?
Zhao Si believes that the problem lies in the officials, the law, and the emperor.

First of all, the Qin Dynasty spared no effort to popularize the law.

Secondly, the Qin Dynasty's official staff was huge and skilled in business.

In the end, the king of the Qin Dynasty was able to spare no effort to implement it.

Whether it is military merit or the law, it is true that it can be implemented in practice.

When the six countries were subjugated, there were still regulations on meritorious deeds and rewards, but they could not be implemented in practice. They invaded and delayed meritorious deeds, basically existing in name only.

Only when the quality of the officials is high enough, the professional ability is proficient enough, the law is popularized well enough, the legal provisions are clear enough, and the king spares no effort to implement it, can it be perfected.

"The law of the Qin State is nothing new. The Shang monarch focused on farming and fighting, and gathered the great achievements of the six kingdoms. The reform of the Qin State also followed the reform of the Six Kingdoms.

Why is Qin State able to unify the world, while the Six Kingdoms can only have decades of hegemony.

Why can the Qin State follow the example of the Six Kingdoms, but the Six Countries cannot imitate the Qin State? " Zhao Si pondered.

"The reforms of the six countries, the death of the people and the rest of the government...

Only the reform of the Qin State, although the Shang Jun died, the Qin Law has not stopped!The reform of the Six Kingdoms is nothing more than cutting open the outer skin and changing a pair of skins, so that you can be young for a while, and you will still grow old after decades. Only the reform of the Qin Kingdom cut open the flesh, gouged out the internal organs, penetrated into the inside, and cleaned up and down. ! "Zhao Si's eyes were heavy.

"In my opinion, reform is to cut flesh!" Zhao Si expressed his opinion.

The Wang family sent many legalist books.

Regarding the turmoil during Shang Jun's reform, it is not an exaggeration to say that it was flesh-cutting.

At that time, both nobles and commoners complained.

Sit even, torture!From Gongqing to Lishu, almost all of them are not spared!
As a result, the number of slaves in Qin State skyrocketed unprecedentedly. Due to successive changes, the resistance of the old nobles and Li Shu, Qin State even almost perished due to reforms!
Shang Jun is really ruthless, he stabbed hard with a knife!

Nobles up to Prince Shi Yingqian, the brothers of the King of Qin, are not spared
As for Li Shu below, Shang Yang's attack was even more ruthless, and he was frequently sentenced to death. Anyway, Li Shu could not live like a human being at that time.

Even though Zhao Si tried his best to view it objectively, it was still difficult to accept the means involved.

Not everyone has the ability and courage to bear this kind of severe pain of cutting flesh.

There are examples of reforms and strengthening, and only the Qin State will bring forth the new through the old.

The First Emperor lay on the rocking chair, swaying around, and did not speak for the first time.

After a long time, Emperor Shihuang suddenly spoke.

"According to you, I ruled the world because of the survivors of Fen VI?" The voice was relatively calm, and there was even a smile on his face.

In fact, these are the original words of the first emperor. In the past, when Langya participated in the discussion and discussion of meritorious service, the first emperor himself said that he ruled the world as a remnant of Fen VI.

"Yes!" Zhao Si nodded.

Zhao Si's straightforward answer made Shi Huangdi turn his head to look at Zhao Si with a smile on his face.

The first emperor was not offended, he was not one to be flattered.

In fact, the first emperor himself believed that his predecessors had contributed a lot to his ability to unify the world, and at best he only accelerated the process.

The First Emperor was a self-confident and even conceited king, but he would not take credit for this kind of thing. In fact, the First Emperor never bothered to erase the credit of his predecessors.

"What is my merit?" Shi Huang looked at Zhao Si with a smile.

Listening to the familiar words, Wang Li at the side instantly remembered the counselors on the Langya Sea after the First Emperor ruled the world.

How high-spirited and vigorous the first emperor was that year!

Many heavyweights were entertained at sea.

There are representatives of various schools of thought, as well as old antiques who are aged but have made great contributions.And Wang Li, the young mascot.

The first emperor asked the same question at the beginning.

At that time, the people at the top of the pyramid in the world gathered on the big boat.

The merits of participating in the First Emperor!
At that time Wang Li was young, even though he was from a family of military exploits, he was able to board the ship only thanks to his elder father Wang Jian, so he was not ranked at all.

At the beginning, Wang Li muttered to the familiar question, even now, Wang Li didn't know how to answer it accurately.

On such an occasion, this question seems to be a joke of the first emperor.

Zhao Si fell into deep thought.
