I have a chat group.
Chapter 520: Mental breakdown
[Gao Yuliang: You guys didn’t read the book, did you? You didn’t read anything and just put the book down? That’s crazy, right? Are you digging your own grave?]
Just by looking at the text, these people can imagine how much Gao Yuliang gloats over other people's misfortunes, but who can be blamed for this? It was all his own actions!
【Liu Chan (Zhao Gou): This is no big deal. Even if we hand these things over, how many people would do that? As long as we love the people like our own children and reward and punish them fairly, no one will do anything to us.】
【Li Shimin (Liu Chan): What you said is simple, but it is really troublesome to do it. Not everyone can love the people like their own children and reward and punish fairly. In many cases, rewards and punishments are not only based on merits and crimes, but also on their identities. In short, it is very troublesome, especially in our time, everyone has a family, everyone has status, and everyone has to be decent. It is very troublesome to deal with it! 】
[Zhu Jianshen: We can do these things, but that doesn't mean our subordinates can do them. In our world! These things are very troublesome.]
[Ying Zheng: So you still don't understand anything. Why can't you check the foreign knowledge? You people only think about ruling, but you don't understand what ruling is! ]
Ying Zheng laughed when he saw everything in the chat group. He took advantage of the loopholes in the chat group and made his own world impenetrable.
He knew that everyone in the chat group was thinking about gaining benefits from other worlds, but hadn't thought about whether those benefits were poisonous?
Ying Zheng didn't look at the chat group's gaze, but looked at Li Si, "Li Si, how far has the education in the country been popularized?"
Li Si saluted and said, "Your Majesty, we have completed the education of all the people in Daqin. They have all completed at least nine years of compulsory education. As for higher-level education, half of us have also completed it."
"By higher education do you mean high school or college?"
"It includes high school and college. High school education is the foundation for college. After entering college, all the subdivided things need to be laid in high school. So we first integrate those educations together for nine years. After completing compulsory education, we will select those who are excellent in learning and let them conduct more in-depth studies. Now, at least one million people in Daqin have completed college content, but they have not been able to conduct more in-depth research. Daqin is still a little behind in this aspect."
Ying Zheng nodded. He knew that the people of Daqin were not bad, but many of them were illiterate in the past. It was not easy to turn those illiterate people into literate people.
It took a lot of effort for the Qin Dynasty to enable all citizens to complete nine years of education.
As for training more scientific and technological talents, Daqin cannot do it in at least a few years. It will take at least several decades to train enough scientific research talents!
"Take your time. Great Qin is not in a hurry. Great Qin has no shortage of time. We still need more people. Before we conquer the whole world, we don't need to rush to make all that knowledge ours. We need to absorb it slowly!"
Whatever Ying Zheng does now, he always says, "Take it slow," because he is afraid. He is afraid that the Qin Dynasty will once again fall into a crisis in history.
Historically, the failure of the Qin Dynasty was largely due to its haste.
In history, the Qin Dynasty compressed the affairs of several generations into one generation, hoping to accomplish earth-shaking feats in a short period of time. However, it was this idea that led the Qin Dynasty into a complete crisis, and it was a crisis that no one could change.
Everyone said that as long as Qin Shihuang had not died, there would have been no crisis in the Qin Dynasty.
But Ying Zheng himself said that even if he didn't die, the collapse of the Qin Dynasty could not be suppressed, because the Qin Dynasty was an overall institutional collapse!
The so-called beheading of those who missed the deadline was not false but true, because after Qin Shihuang unified the world, he did change the Qin law to the beheading of those who missed the deadline.
Ying Zheng himself made the Qin law even more stringent, and everyone obeyed all of this while he was still alive because everyone was waiting for his death!
Or the people would become completely unable to bear it, which happened to be after Ying Zheng's death, when the people could no longer bear it, and then the Qin Dynasty would be destroyed.
Moreover, it was the Qin Empire that actively welcomed its demise, because when Liu Bang entered Guanzhong, everyone supported Liu Bang.
Ying Zheng knew all of this because the Han Dynasty had very comprehensive records of these things.
Although the Han Dynasty discredited many things about the Qin Dynasty, there were some things they could not discredit because they only needed to record them directly, such as the beheading of those who missed the deadline.
After knowing these things, Ying Zheng took his time with all the affairs of the Qin Dynasty, except for unifying the world.
Because to unify the world, it must be done quickly, and it must be done quickly before one's descendants have to unite with the other six countries. Otherwise, there will be no such opportunity. The window of opportunity to unify the world only appeared in the Qin State, and only appeared when Qin Shihuang was in power.
There was no window of opportunity to unify the world in other periods, because those foreign relatives would not allow their motherland to be destroyed.
Ying Zheng knew all these things, so he was slow about everything now. He focused on maintaining his health, and left the affairs of governing the country to the newly selected ministers. Those people were selected through the imperial examinations and had climbed up from the bottom.
Ying Zheng thought of those people, and asked Li Si again, "How are those officials who passed the imperial examination? What are their abilities? Should they be used?"
"Your Majesty, those people are very good at what they do and are very capable. They are a group of very suitable talents. Moreover, there are enough of them, their backgrounds are low enough, and they are diligent enough. Even if they are minor officials in the government, they can bend down and do their jobs. They have truly climbed up step by step from the bottom. They are real doers, much better than those old men in the court!"
Li Si was also very satisfied with the talents who came out of the imperial examinations, because there were thousands of people who came out of the imperial examinations every year. These people would be arranged to work in the county government offices in various places. All of them had climbed up from the county government offices, and some even went to work in the countryside, working together with the soldiers eliminated from the army of the Qin Dynasty every year.
With the cooperation of these people, all the territories of Qin were governed properly. Even the small rural towns were directly under the jurisdiction of the officials of Qin.
The imperial power did not extend to the countryside. This kind of thing did not exist in the Qin Dynasty because the Qin Dynasty directly delegated the rule of officials to the village level.
"That's good. We in the Great Qin must involve all aspects of our rule. All matters must be involved. Our officials cannot only manage people, but also matters, big and small. Merchants, farmers, workers, herdsmen, all of them must be managed. We should guide them if we can, and if we can't, we will let specialized technical officials guide them. Now the Hundred Schools of Thought are gone, but our methods cannot be worse than theirs, otherwise they will cause trouble when they come back. The Agricultural School, the Mohist School, the Medical School, some people are the most likely to cause trouble, we must handle all these matters well!"
Although all the people from the Baijia families were driven out by Ying Zheng, he never forgot about them because these people were the biggest threat in his mind.
The thoughts and attitudes of these people are the biggest threat. They are not on the same side as the Qin State, but on the same side as the six states. Therefore, they have no status in the Qin State envisioned by Ying Zheng.
"People from Confucianism and several other schools have returned one after another. They have studied in various worlds, and there may be some changes!" Li Si's expression was very embarrassed when he said this, because Li Si himself was a Confucian.
Li Si was a disciple of Xunzi. Not only was he a disciple of Xunzi, but Han Fei and Zhang Cang were also disciples. The prime ministers of the Qin and Han dynasties were all students of Xunzi.
It’s a pity that most of the students taught by Xunzi became Legalists rather than Confucianists.
However, all the Legalists he taught had good relations with Confucianism. For example, the one with whom Li Si had the best relationship was Chunyu Yue. Chunyu Yue offended Ying Zheng several times and was nearly killed, but was saved by Li Si.
"Is it Chunyu Yue? Or is it Xun Qing?"
Ying Zheng immediately understood that this was a plea for Confucianism, but he didn't know who was coming back.
Chunyu Yue and Xunzi both left the Qin Dynasty and went to other worlds.
"Have they really explored the entire world? Aren't they coming back a little too quickly?"
"Your Majesty, 20 years is a long time!"
Li Si did not know that time flows at different speeds in different worlds. In his opinion, only 20 years had passed in his own world, while the various schools of thought outside had been exploring for a full 20 years.
"No, you don't understand. The speed of time in each world is different. Twenty years may pass in our world, but only a few months may pass in other worlds. The time is different."
Ying Zheng told Li Si that the world's flow speed is different, but he did not tell Li Si that the different flow speed of the world can be controlled.
"The speed of time in each world is different. Does it mean that time passes differently in each world?"
"Yes, the speed of time in each world is different. Otherwise, why would I let them leave this world? They are too deeply influenced by the Six Kingdoms. All the philosophers think that the Six Kingdoms are good. Then I will let them see whether it is better to unify the world or to have chaos in the Six Kingdoms. So they shouldn't come back so soon. I must have been stimulated to come here!"
The expression on Ying Zheng's face became playful. He now wanted to know what kind of stimulation these people had received!
The Confucian who returned this time was Fu Nian, the Confucian from Xiaoshengxianzhuang and the current head of the clan.
Fu Nian, Yan Lu and Zhang Liang are known as the Three Heroes of Qi and Lu. They all advocated governing the country according to the kingly way and had a strong sense of mission towards Confucianism and world affairs. They always worked hard to promote Confucianism and hoped to make Confucianism the number one doctrine for governing the country.
This person actually represents the changes in Confucianism in later generations, that is, the change to deify and absolutize the king. In his heart, the king represents the righteous country, and people cannot go against heaven, nor can they betray the country. What he hopes for is to maintain order and let the king, ministers, fathers, and sons exist forever. He believes that this will prevent chaos in the world.
It's just like the saying that the king is the leader of his subjects, and the father is the leader of his sons. If the king wants his subjects to die, the subjects have to die. If the father wants his son to die, the son has to die.
This sentence is almost exactly what Fu Nian was thinking, except that the first two sentences were said by Confucius, while the last two sentences were added to the Yuan Dynasty drama.
This is pretty much what Fu Nian thought and did.
Such Fu Nian showed great respect for Qin Shi Huang. He believed that Qin Shi Huang had already become the monarch and they were his subjects, and as subjects, they should respect their monarch.
He can be considered a useful person to Ying Zheng, but to Ying Zheng, Fu Nian is also a threat, because the things he did, from another perspective, are the theory of the correspondence between heaven and man, which can be used to put the royal power in a cage.
Ying Zheng didn't like this method, so he drove Fu Nian out of the world of Qin's Moon.
"Brother Fu Nian, you have also been greatly stimulated. You have been stimulated by the descendants of Confucius. Those guys are really talented!"
Li Si knew very well what kind of stimulation his senior brother Fu Nian had received, and only then did he see what the Confucius family was like.
Even when the world was unified, the descendants of Confucius dared to say that there were only three families in the world: one was the Zhu family of Fengyang, who represented poverty and misery; one was the Zhang family of Jiangxi, who represented Taoism; and only our family was noble.
Saying such words means that one no longer takes the monarch of the world seriously, and this is absolutely unacceptable to Fu Nian. What he wants is a relationship where the monarch is the monarch, the minister is the minister, the father is the father, and the son is the son!
Although he would not demand that the ruler order his subjects to die and the subjects had to die, or that the father want his son to die and the son had to die, he wanted to maintain the order of feudal rule, to distinguish between the ruler and his subjects, and to have order between the old and the young.
But what the Kong family did directly broke his bottom line. Even in the Ming Dynasty, he saw how the Kong family traded with forces outside the Great Wall, how they sold out their country, and how the Kong family turned the barbarians on the grassland into Confucian masters!
These things almost drove Fu Nian crazy.
The debate between China and the barbarians!
This is also a very important thing for Confucianism, but now the family of the founder of Confucianism has actually given up the debate on Chinese and barbarians.
Instead, they flattered the barbarians and said that their Khan was the great master of Confucianism.
But the barbarian Khan couldn’t even write a single Chinese character, let alone read!
But even so, the Kong family was still honored with the title of Shangshu, and Kublai Khan was the great master of Confucianism. This incident made everyone in the Lu family feel heartbroken!
Fu Nian was sent back under such circumstances, and he almost had a mental breakdown!
