The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1013: Traitor [Subscribe*Monthly Ticket Request]

"They are both military men, why are there such big differences between them?" The attendant was also surprised at Dian Qing's changes.

Dian Qing's physique is so deceptive that people subconsciously regard him as a reckless man.

I never thought that he could come up with such amazing suggestions in the presence of so many outstanding people.

Mo Ya had a bitter face. We had agreed that we should all play badly together, but you were secretly introverted on your own.

There must be a limit to involution. Not only did you make suggestions, but you also created two martial arts specifically for the purpose. This is a slap in everyone's face.

"After all, they came out of a pile of dead bodies. It's not that they don't have talent, it's just that they didn't have the environment and channels to learn." The attendant asked and answered himself.

Knowledge was once monopolized by the nobility. For example, Dian Qing was born in the Pijia Sect and studied under a great general of the Wei State, but all he could learn was the Pijia Sect's horizontal training techniques.

Since Bingzhou took over the establishment of schools by hundreds of schools of thought, Dian Qing, as the Bingzhou Weiwei, has been staying in the royal city more often to train the Yulin Guards. He also has more time to learn the knowledge of hundreds of schools of thought than other officers.

"The army is divided into internal and external parts!" Li Si suddenly thought of Dian Qing's meaning.

The bandits pass by like a comb, and the soldiers pass by like a rake. For the common people, they fear the soldiers far more than they fear the bandits.

No one has ever thought about reversing this situation.

If the suggestion put forward by Dian Qing can be implemented, the army and the county soldiers will be separated. The army will defend the country and guard the borders externally, while the county soldiers will crack down on smuggling and theft internally.

It will largely change the people's view of soldiers.

Moreover, the two are trained separately and have different responsibilities, which can also prevent the private use of weapons.

Therefore, in response to Dian Qing's suggestions, everyone had another discussion and refined, concretized and institutionalized Dian Qing's immature suggestions.

Looking at the manuscripts all over the hall, everyone realized that they had discussed so many things without realizing it.

"Can someone make a copy of these and send it to Xianyang?" Li Si was a little surprised when he saw the manuscripts all over the hall.

There are too many. It’s almost impossible to store them all.

I came here alone, and it's not easy to bring so many things back with me.

But he was reluctant to throw these things away.

So many manuscripts are extremely precious, and throwing away any one of them would be a waste.

"Of course you can, but... the cost of copying and paper will still have to be paid by Mr. Tonggu himself!" An Qisheng said with a smile.

"Is this a few dollars short?" Li Si was stunned.

"Bad!" An Qisheng nodded seriously.

It would be fine if it was just one or two books, but the key is that there are so many of them. Not counting the cost of paper, the labor cost for the librarian to copy a new copy is also quite high.

"Okay!" Li Si thought about it and decided that as the Chief Justice of Qin, he could still afford this amount of money.

"Are you sure you don't want to report to Xianyang and pay for it at public expense?" Chen Jian also said with a smile.

"..." Li Si was silent for a while, "No need, I can still afford this little money!"

"If you report an individual, it will be 20 gold coins. If you report a public account, it will be 200 gold coins!" Chen Jian reminded Li Si meaningfully.

Li Si was stunned for a moment, looked at Chen Jian, and then looked at An Qisheng and others. Are you serious? The Prime Minister of Bingzhou, one of the Nine Ministers, is actually openly corrupt?

"Report!" Li Si finally gritted his teeth.

Twenty gold coins! Although he had some money, he still felt bad about taking out so much at once.

"Chenghui, we will have someone send these manuscripts directly to the master's residence via Suzaku."

Chen Jian smiled and bowed.

"Thank you!" Li Si was truly grateful. Normally, the two remaining empires in the world would be hostile to each other and would never help each other so unreservedly.

Therefore, Li Si had to admit that in terms of pattern, these top people in Bingzhou were far more powerful than some people in Qin.

If it weren't for Bingzhou's help, he might have sorted these things out slowly in the future, but there would definitely be many things that he hadn't considered.

This largely prevented him from going astray.

"If there is time, Senior Brother Tonggu should go and see Master Xun!" Yan Yan reminded Li Si.

Li Si followed the path of Legalism, which made him a traitor in the eyes of Confucianism. Although Xunzi did not say anything, it does not mean that other people would not gossip about him.

With Li Si's ability and his current status in Qin, he should have received strong support from Confucianism, but what about now?
Li Si, on the contrary, got along better with the Legalists.

Li Si was stunned for a moment. He had thought about it, but he didn't dare.

He was not someone like Han Fei who was liked by his teacher. He was too conventional in his conduct and was not likable in himself. He also came from a humble background and now he was following the path of the Legalists. He was even more worried that Xunzi would dislike him.

His unpopularity is no joke. For example, Han Fei's courtesy name is Zifei, Yan Lu is also Zilu, and Fu Nian is Zi Nian, but he is well-versed in ancient Chinese.

This is the difference between closeness and distance, even Yan Yan’s original name “Zi” was not just a title of “Zi”.

"If you don't go, something bad will happen to Confucianism sooner or later!"

Yan Yan said seriously.

Never underestimate the Confucian ability to commit suicide.

For the sake of reputation, Confucians can do anything and even prefer to discuss state affairs.

He is nothing, but he likes to talk nonsense, brag, and criticize current affairs.

In addition, the Qin State wanted to implement the county system and completely abolish the feudal system, which gave the Confucians who respected the Zhou rituals more to say.

It would be fine if they talked about it in private, but I was afraid that these people would get excited and run to Xianyang, to the Qin Palace, and to tell it in front of Ying Zheng.

This is not an illusion; the Confucian scholars are really capable of doing such things.

If it happens once or twice, Ying Zheng might just ignore it like a fly, but if it happens too often, Confucianism will definitely be in trouble.

Even if Ying Zheng didn't want to pay attention to them, would the Qin court officials tolerate it?

As long as Ying Zheng did not insist and acquiesced, the Qin State would kill these people.

"I understand!" Li Si also understood Yan Yan's meaning instantly.

The trip to meet Xunzi was fake. In fact, he was asked to go to Qi and Lu to tell Confucianism that times have changed!
If one wants to implement the system of counties throughout the country, one has to rely on Confucianists to help spread and advocate it.

Counties and prefectures are governed from top to bottom. If the upper class understands it, it will be easy for the lower class. If those scholars obstruct the reform, who knows what kind of disturbance may arise.

Thinking of this, Li Si bowed again to express his gratitude.

And in Sanghai City, in the back mountain of Xiaoshengxianzhuang, Master Xun was actually also waiting.

Qin occupied Qi and redivided Qi's land into counties. As Li Si's Legalist teacher, he could naturally see the changes in the world and guess what Qin wanted to do.

Although he had extensive knowledge, he still lacked the ability to govern the world, so he was waiting for Li Si or Han Fei to come and see him and talk to him about the changes in the world.

"Two traitors!" Master Xun cursed in a low voice.

It's been so long, not only has the person not come, but there's not even a letter.

If Yan Lu hadn't frequently traveled between Bingzhou and Sanghai, he wouldn't have known the current situation of these two guys.
