Da Qin: From a disciple of Fusu to a generation of imperial masters

Chapter 362 Lin Xuan convinced the three Meng Tian brothers! Meng Yi's thoughts, Lin Xuan's romantic luck is coming!

"Meeting is fate. Brother Meng Yi, please feel free to speak up. I will tell you everything I know!"

Lin Xuan looked at Meng Yi with a smile on his face.

"Meng Yi thanks you, sir."

Meng Yi looked at Lin Xuan and bowed, then said, "Meng Yi would like to ask you about the empty treasury some time ago."

"Your Majesty asked the ministers in the court how to solve the problem of empty treasury."

"Your Majesty is not satisfied with any of the solutions proposed by the ministers."

"Only the solution proposed by Prince Fusu is pleasing to your majesty."

"Meng Yi was somewhat skeptical of such a radical approach at the time. It was very strange that Prince Fusu proposed this to Your Majesty."

"After meeting you today, I know that collecting taxes from the homes of the gentry and nobles was your idea."

"This method can indeed enrich the national treasury. Sir, have you not considered what will happen if the gentry and nobles are dissatisfied?"

"It is very likely to cause unrest in the Qin Dynasty. After all, these gentry and nobles have good relationships with the ministers in the court."

Meng Yi looked at Lin Xuan and expressed his concerns.

Meng Yi was involved in collecting taxes from the homes of gentry and nobles.

When carrying out His Majesty's order, Meng Yi was always worried.

This method would cause great losses to the gentry and nobles, and Meng Yi was always on guard against the possibility that these gentry and nobles would oppose His Majesty's will.

Fortunately, the result was good and these gentry and nobles did not resist.

When Meng Yi saw Lin Xuan today, he really wanted to know whether Lin Xuan had any concerns when he came up with this idea.

When Meng Tian and Meng Fang heard Meng Yi's words, they also looked at Lin Xuan.

They both knew about this matter, and it was the first time they saw taxes being collected in this way.

After hearing Meng Yi's reminder, they both knew that this idea was thought up by Lin Xuan.

Fusu, who was sitting next to him, did not say anything, but just listened quietly.

After hearing what Meng Yi said, Lin Xuan drank a glass of wine and said, "When I offer this method to you, sir."

"I have indeed considered this method, but it is likely to cause resistance from the gentry and nobles."

"But I am more worried that the treasury will be empty and the Qin Dynasty will fall into chaos again."

"In the face of such a crisis in the Qin Dynasty, I can only choose to collect taxes from the gentry and nobles."

“The money these people got was not clean to begin with.”

“It’s also a good thing that the tax is raised.”

"Your Majesty, if you post this news on the wall of Daqin, the people who see it will applaud."

"This way, even if the gentry and nobles want to resist, they will have no one to turn to."

"You can't achieve anything with just the servants in the mansion."

"The foundation of the Great Qin is the people of the Great Qin."

"As long as the people live and work in peace and contentment, the gentry and nobles will have no way to resist."

"Brother Meng Yi, how about this explanation?"

Lin Xuan looked at Meng Yi and gave his explanation.

When Lin Xuan thought of this idea, he took the people of Daqin into consideration.

As long as the people of Daqin support Daqin, those gentry and nobles will have no way to stop them.

Meng Yi was stunned when he heard Lin Xuan's words. It took him a while to react with a bitter smile on his face:
"Meng Yi admires your explanation very much."

"Sir, you are right. As long as the people live and work in peace and contentment, the gentry and nobles will have no chance to rebel."

As Meng Yi spoke, he looked at Lin Xuan with a hint of admiration in his eyes and bowed.

Coming to see Lin Xuan today was the best decision for Meng Yi.

Not only did I solve the doubts in my mind, but I also learned a lot of useful things.

Now he completely understood why Prince Fusu had changed so much.

With a great teacher like Lin Xuan, everyone would see changes.

Meng Tian and Meng Fang nodded slightly when they heard Meng Yi's words. They kept Lin Xuan's words in mind.

"Since this matter has been mentioned, I have a few words to tell you, young master."

"I am very happy with the way you treat the people of Daqin."

"My lord, you must not forget that the people are the foundation of the Qin Empire."

Lin Xuan looked at Fusu and his expression became serious.

Fusu stood up after hearing Lin Xuan's words, his face solemn: "Teacher, don't worry, I will never forget your teachings and will definitely treat the people well."

"I will never let the people of Daqin live a bad life again."

When Lin Xuan heard Fusu's promise, a smile appeared on his face.

He believed that Fusu's words were sincere, and what Fusu had done in the past was enough to show his attitude towards the people.

The three Meng Tian brothers looked at each other, and Meng Fang looked at Lin Xuan and said, "Sir, Meng Fang also has something to ask you."

Meng Fang looked at Lin Xuan and bowed.

"But it doesn't matter!"

Lin Xuan looked at Meng Fang and waved.

Lin Xuan had also heard Fusu mention the name Meng Fang, although Meng Fang was not the biological brother of Meng Tian and Meng Yi.

However, Meng Fang's father has a deep connection with the Meng family, and Meng Fang grew up in the Meng family since he was a child.

Meng Fang's reputation in the Meng family is not much worse than that of Meng Yi and Meng Tian.

During the conquest of the six kingdoms, Meng Fang also made many military achievements, but because of his injuries, he served as an official in the court.

He has the trust of Your Majesty and is also a supporter of Prince Fusu.

"Daqin is currently holding the imperial examination, and the scene is very grand."

"Many ministers in the court are very dissatisfied with the imperial examination system. Some ministers have even petitioned Your Majesty to oppose the imperial examination system."

"It was only rejected by His Majesty. Meng Fang wants to know the specific meaning of the imperial examination proposed by you."

Meng Tian and Meng Yi nodded slightly when they heard Meng Fang's words. The imperial examination held in Daqin was now on a large scale.

This news has spread throughout the entire Qin Dynasty, and Your Majesty also attaches great importance to the imperial examination.

Many ministers in the court often mentioned the imperial examination.

After hearing what Meng Fang said, Lin Xuan said, “When the young master mentioned the imperial examination in the court, the reason was to select talents for Daqin.”

"All the ministers in the court heard what you said, and selecting talents is indeed the purpose of the imperial examination."

"The six kingdoms that Your Majesty destroyed were not only because of the great Qin's numerous generals and strong soldiers and horses."

"Another reason is that there are few available talents in the other six countries. The ministers in the courts of the six countries are almost all inherited from their families."

"If the Qin Dynasty does not want to follow the old path of the other six kingdoms, it can only select talents, and the imperial examination is the best way."

The three Meng Fang brothers nodded slightly when they heard Lin Xuan's words, although Prince Fusu gave some explanation in the court.

Now after hearing Lin Xuan's explanation again, they completely understood the meaning of the imperial examination.

Lin Xuan looked at the three brothers of the Meng family and said, "Another reason is the structure of the court."

"Most of the ministers in the Qin Dynasty inherited their official positions."

"If we want to change this situation, we can only pass the imperial examination."

"It is forbidden for ministers in the court to obtain official positions through inheritance."

"The reason why those ministers opposed it is that they saw this clearly."

Lin Xuan said this with a hint of disdain on his face.

He proposed the imperial examination in order to break the monopoly.

Only in this way can the Qin Dynasty continue to produce talents.

The three brothers of the Meng family looked at each other with surprise on their faces.

The three of them had not expected that the imperial examination had another reason, which was to interrupt the inheritance.

Thinking of this, the three brothers of the Meng family had an embarrassed look on their faces, as their Meng family was also an inherited family.

Lin Xuan looked at the embarrassed Meng Tian brothers and instantly understood that the three brothers felt embarrassed when they heard what he said. "Brother Meng Tian, ​​Brother Meng Yi, Brother Meng Fang, you three don't need to think too much."

"I admire your Meng family and Wang family."

"Both of your families are military families, and the official positions you have obtained are also earned through your meritorious service on the battlefield."

"I admire those who get official positions based on their merits."

“I just hate those who get something for nothing.”

Lin Xuan looked at Meng Tian and the other two and offered comforting words.

What he just said was what was in his heart, although the Meng family and the Wang family were also military families.

However, these two families are different from those of other ministers, and their family rules are very strict.

If you want to get an official position, you must gain military merit on the battlefield.

This was true for Meng Tian and Wang Ben. Even Meng Yi, who is now a civil servant, had killed enemies and made great contributions on the battlefield.

When Meng Tian and the other two heard Lin Xuan's words, they felt a little warm in their hearts. This is indeed how their Meng family trains the young people of the family.

If you want to get an official position, you must make achievements, otherwise you will not have an official position.

This rule was established by their grandfather Meng Ao and was still followed by their generation, and the Meng family continued to follow this rule in the future.

The three brothers of the Meng family looked at Lin Xuan with admiration in their hearts.

The three of them gained a lot from coming to see Lin Xuan today.

"We three brothers have gained a lot from meeting you today."

"We three brothers feel guilty for disturbing you for so long."

"I won't bother you today, sir!"

Meng Tian looked at Lin Xuan and bowed.

Meng Yi and Meng Fang also stood up and bowed to Lin Xuan.

Prince Fusu had previously told the three of them that his teacher liked a leisurely life.

The three of them also resolved many doubts today and should not continue to disturb Fusu's teacher.

"Thank you for your courtesy, my three brothers. I am also very happy to have a conversation with the Meng family today."

"Brother Meng Tian, ​​Brother Meng Yi, Brother Meng Fang, please come anytime you want to talk to me."

Lin Xuan looked at Meng Tian and the other two with a smile on his face.

Fusu also had a smile on his face at this time. Today, the teacher had such a harmonious conversation with the three brothers of the Meng family.

He was also very happy in his heart. After all, the three Meng brothers and his teacher were all very important to Fusu.

"Meng Yi wants to ask you one more thing, sir. Are you married?"

Meng Yi looked at Lin Xuan and asked about his thoughts.

After hearing these words, Meng Tian was stunned for a moment.

They didn't understand why Meng Yi suddenly asked this question.

Fusu and Lin Xuan were also stunned when they heard Meng Yi's words.

Lin Xuan quickly reacted, looked at Meng Yi with a smile on his face and said, "I am single and have no family."

"Meng Yi understands, goodbye!"

When Meng Yi heard Lin Xuan's words, he looked at Fusu and Lin Xuan with a smile on his face, bowed, and turned to leave.

Meng Tian, ​​Meng Fang and Meng Yi, like all others, bowed and turned away.

Fusu looked at the backs of the three Meng Tian brothers as they left, and Meng Yi's words just now emerged in his mind.

He still couldn't understand why Meng Yi suddenly asked his teacher whether he was married.

Meng family mansion!

In the hall, the three Meng Tian brothers came out of Fusu's mansion and went straight back to their home.

"I didn't expect that Master Fusu's teacher is so young. No one would believe it if I told them."

Meng Tian looked at Meng Yi and Meng Fang with a hint of emotion on his face.

Meng Yi and Meng Fang nodded slightly. All the ministers in the court had already guessed that there was an expert helping Prince Fusu behind the scenes.

If you tell them that the master behind Master Fusu is a man who looks younger than Master Fusu.

These ministers would not believe it. They did not believe that a young man could be so powerful.

"I gained a lot from talking to Fusu's teacher Lin Xuan today."

"It is indeed very beneficial for Master Fusu to take this man as his teacher."

"Even Li Si cannot compare to this man's abilities."

Meng Yi looked at Meng Tian and Meng Fang and expressed his thoughts.

"Second brother is right. Lin Xuan was so calm when he explained the problem to the three of us."

"This is enough to show that he has enough confidence in these things."

"It is really admirable that he has such confidence at such a young age."

After Meng Yi finished speaking, Meng Fang continued what Meng Yi said.

Meng Tian nodded slightly, and suddenly thought of the question Meng Yi asked Lin Xuan before leaving.

"Meng Yi, before leaving, you suddenly asked Lin Xuan whether he had started a family."

"Do you have any ideas?"

Meng Tian looked at his brother Meng Yi and raised his doubts.

Meng Fang also looked at Meng Yi. He also remembered the question Meng Yi asked Lin Xuan.

Meng Yi smiled when he heard Meng Tian's words, "I can't hide it from my brother."

"After meeting Lin Xuan today, my brother and Meng Fang have also understood how powerful Lin Xuan is."

"This man is so young and handsome. His abilities are obvious to all."

"More importantly, Lin Xuan is Master Fusu's teacher. The three of us have seen how much respect Master Fusu has for Lin Xuan."

"This person has not yet started a family, which is a good thing for our Meng family."

"Yun'er hasn't got a family yet. If Yun'er is betrothed to Lin Xuan."

"Brother and Meng Fang, what do you two think?"

Meng Yi looked at Meng Tian and Meng Fang and expressed his thoughts.

His daughter Meng Yun'er had not yet married, the moment she saw Lin Xuan at Fusu's mansion.

Meng Yi had this idea that such a young, handsome and outstanding man was also the teacher of Prince Fusu.

It would be a good thing for both his daughter and the Meng family if he married Lin Xuan.

Meng Tian and Meng Fang's eyes lit up when they heard Meng Yi's words. Meng Yi's words reminded them both.

Meng Yi's daughter, Meng Yun'er, has not yet married.

"Lin Xuan values ​​the people so much, which is enough to show that he has good character."

"More importantly, Lin Xuan is also Master Fusu's teacher and has a promising future."

"Yun'er marrying Lin Xuan is indeed a very good marriage."

"It's a good thing for our Meng family. We don't have to worry about Yun'er being bullied."

Meng Fang said this with a smile on his face.

In his heart, he agreed with Meng Yi's idea, but unfortunately, Meng Fang only had two sons and no daughter.

Otherwise, he also wanted to marry his daughter to Lin Xuan, and whoever married Lin Xuan would live a good life.

Meng Tian pondered for a moment after hearing what Meng Yi and Meng Fang said, and after a while he spoke:

"Yun'er marrying Lin Xuan is indeed a very good marriage."

"But Meng Yi, you still need to ask Yun'er for her opinion."

"Our Meng family does not need to rely on the younger generation to marry into the family to consolidate the reputation of the Meng family. If Yun'er has no objection, it is naturally a good thing."

"If Yun'er refuses, don't force it."
