Da Qin: Mythology and Immortal Cultivation, Starting with the Lu Sisters

Chapter 77: Stop “book burning” and embrace all rivers!

"Disapprove!?"

Lieutenant Li Si in the main hall trembled all over as if struck by lightning.

His eyes widened with shock on his face.

Why, the other party disapproves.

From the perspective of His Majesty the First Emperor, if we want to ensure the highest ruling power and unify all aspects of the Qin Empire, we must maintain unity in ideology and culture.

At present, all kinds of cultural thoughts are in endless confusion.

In the case of everyone studying privately, there are endless situations like that of Confucian scholars.

How can the long-term unification of the Qin Empire be maintained without destroying this phenomenon by eliminating private schools?
It is not easy for those people to surrender to the Qin Empire as soon as possible.

Li Si didn't understand why the Grand Master of the Qin Dynasty was so firmly opposed to his suggestions.

"Master Imperial Master, if we don't eliminate private schools and unify thought and culture, how can our empire be truly unified and bring all the people back home?"

He immediately turned to Zhao Chen and said, "Please, for the sake of the empire, reconsider!"

Li Si was also very worried. Even the Imperial Masters of Qin were opposed to it, which would undoubtedly influence the decision of His Majesty the First Emperor.

He did not think that in Ying Zheng's heart, he would have more weight in Ying Zheng's heart because of the sudden emergence of the Great Qin Imperial Master.

Therefore, now he must convince the Great Qin Imperial Master.

Otherwise, his suggestions will undoubtedly be shelved or even abolished.

"I understand what Lieutenant Li means."

Zhao Chen looked at the somewhat excited Li Si and continued:
"The so-called private schools, in your opinion, are the reason why many people do evil. But have you ever thought that there are not many literate people. And how can people who are really malicious, how can you eliminate private schools because of you? , will the malice disappear?"

"Methods that do not address the root cause of the problem may lead to even worse effects. Ideological and cultural unity does not mean that only books from the Qin Dynasty can exist. There are other books from the other six countries that must be burned."

"Our Great Qin Empire destroyed the six kingdoms and unified the nine states. What we have is not only the invincible and invincible Great Qin cavalry, but also an even stronger mind."

"If you don't have enough ambition to embrace all rivers, so many talents come to Qin to display their skills and work together, how can you achieve today's glory?"

"I think Lieutenant Li should be very aware of this matter."

Zhao Chen took a deep look at Li Si, wondering how he came to Qin to show off his talents, and what he had done to retain those talents.I guess he didn't need to say anything.

"This one……"

Li Si's face became a little ugly. His current desire to eliminate private schools seemed to be denying the Qin State in the past.

How Qin can become strong is obviously impossible by Qin itself.

The civil and military ministers above the court cannot all be from the original Qin state.

And he, Li Si, is naturally one of them.

For example, Chun Yuyue, the previous doctor, was also from Qi.

Obviously, the elimination of private education he said would bring more disadvantages than benefits.

"As for the private education Li Taiwei mentioned, its scope is too broad and its intensity is too great. It will undoubtedly affect the implementation of the reform decree of our Great Qin Empire, causing hidden dangers to reappear before they are eliminated."

"Those with malicious intentions will only seize the opportunity to expand their influence."

"It's easy to incite rebellion and confuse people's hearts."

Zhao Chen looked at Li Si deeply and continued:
"As I said before, our Great Qin is open to all rivers. As long as you agree with the rule of our Great Qin and know that Your Majesty is the lord of the Great Qin, and have never conspired to rebel or slander our Great Qin, you are willing to contribute to the Great Qin. Those who do not want to participate in the secular world and just want to do research and keep to themselves should be tolerated!"

"How can a small number of people harm the vast majority of people!"

"Therefore, I do not agree with the elimination of private schools, but encourage the contention of a hundred schools of thought and culture under laws and rules, and contribute to our Daqin cultural thoughts!" Under Zhao Chen's remarks, Lieutenant Li Si's face became even more expressionless. Difficult to look at.

From the looks of it, his proposal may be difficult to accept.

Li Siyou noticed His Majesty the First Emperor's expression and found that the other person's face was full of approval without any concealment, which made him a little desperate.

Eliminating private education should be an extremely important good thing.

He also makes sense.

But in the face of the opposition of Zhao Chen, the Grand Master of the Qin Dynasty, I am afraid that it is somewhat untenable.

Li Si came to Qin just to show off his talents.

Until now, I have been working hard and thinking about the Great Qin Empire!

Even if he was seeking a higher official position, he could not change what he did.

"What the Imperial Master said, I think is right."

In the mind of Prime Minister Wang Wan, the words Zhao Chen just said still echoed.

Indeed, you cannot kill everyone with one shot.

"We cannot think that the people of the Six Kingdoms Homeland are not our people of the Qin Dynasty just because some bad people try to split the Qin Dynasty and attempt to restore the country and commit rebellion."

Prime Minister Wang Wan gave a simple example and continued:
"As long as it does not violate the laws and rules, as the Master of the State said, a hundred schools of thought can contend, so that our Daqin culture and thought can develop and reap results."

"We should take the essence and discard the dross. We should treat those books with correct concepts. Books that contain fallacies or are rebellious should be confiscated."

"As for values ​​that are different, but they are reasonable, can be promoted and used, and are in line with the laws and regulations of the Qin Empire on cultural and ideological aspects, then they can also be encouraged."

"I very much agree with what the Imperial Master said, that the Great Qin Empire is open to all rivers. The group of cultural and ideological inheritance of various schools of thought is huge. We should focus on tolerance, forgiveness, and inclusion, so that they can be supervised, so that there will be no Li Tai Just worry about the things that Lieutenant is worried about!"

Ying Zheng was very satisfied with Prime Minister Wang Wan's statement. It was indeed better than what Lieutenant Li Si said about eliminating private schools.

The Great Qin Empire he ruled now had no enemies that could compete with it head-on.

Moreover, now that it has been decided to allow the people of Great Qin to recuperate and live and work in peace and contentment, development must begin.

Be tolerant to diversity, tolerance is a virtue.

The Great Qin Empire must have an audience for its current show of power.

And this audience should be the people of Great Qin!
Simply using force to intimidate is obviously not enough.

Ying Zheng, who had changed his mind, also somewhat recognized what Prime Minister Wang Wan said.

This is in perfect harmony with what Zhao Chen said about saints.

Regarding what Li Si is worried about, according to Zhao Chen's plan, it can be solved together!

"The words of the National Preceptor and the Prime Minister are very reasonable."

Ying Zheng suppressed the excitement in his heart and then said in a deep voice:
"It is not advisable to eliminate private schools. We, Da Qin, are willing to allow talented people to display their abilities. We also hope that the people of Da Qin can live and work in peace and contentment and stay away from disputes."

"Dear sirs, you can discuss how to carry out supervision. This is a huge matter, and I hope that a solution can be come up as soon as possible and implemented together with many reform decrees."

"At the same time, I also hope that all of you, dear friends, will judge how possible it is to enable all the people of Qin to study."

Ying Zheng's eyes were firm, and he waved his hand and said:

"Retreat!"
