Apology: The release time of Chapter 3 is wrong, friends, please forgive me. !
As the time for the imperial meeting approaches, countless officials, celebrities, and learned people from all over the country rush to Xianyang. Xianyang is so overcrowded that there is no place to live. After Qin Yiren received his report, he issued a special order to be received by the people in Xianyang City, so that this problem could be solved.
Outside Xianyang City, four scholars came, led by a middle-aged man in his thirties with a strange appearance. He was a famous scholar in Qi, Chunyu Yue, and he was the one who led people to burn books and harass Confucians.
"Xianyang City is really impressive, with a lot of people."
¡°I¡¯ve heard for a long time that Xianyang City is magnificent, but when I saw it today, it turned out to be so.¡±
A group of scholars looked at Xianyang and were greatly surprised.
After entering Xianyang City, they were even more surprised. They saw people everywhere, it was very lively, and the streets were clean and tidy, without any clutter, which made them feel comfortable.
"Although Linzi is the largest city in the world and is more prosperous than Xianyang, it is still messy. You can see debris and dirt from time to time. It is not as clean as Xianyang." Some scholars lamented.
"Xianyang's purge is famous all over the world. It's true." Immediately there was a chorus of agreement.
"You are lamenting the Xianyang purge, but you don't know the sufferings the Qin people suffered because of it. In the Qin State, if you throw away dust, your nose will be cut off. Isn't it just a little dust? Do you need to be so serious? There are many Qin people who have their noses cut off. The people of Qin don't know how ugly it is to have no nose." Chunyu Yue had a mocking look on his face, showing great disdain.
The "noseless ugliness" of the Qin people has long been spread throughout the world, which is the ironclad proof that Shandong people ridicule and despise the Qin people.
"You are so unreasonable." As soon as Chunyu Yue finished his sarcastic words, a Qin man stood in front of him angrily, pointed at his nose and scolded him: "You don't even look at how neat Xianyang City is. . Looking at the world, is there any city that can be cleaned up like Xianyang? I have been to Xinzheng, Daliang, and Linzi. I am just arrogant. It is so dirty that it is nothing. It is dirtier than a cattle pen. I didn¡¯t tell you, The cattle pens in Da Qin are more spacious and refreshing than the place where they live. Huh!"
"Youyou are just an ordinary person, what do you do?" Chunyu Yue was a little confused when he was robbed. He was speechless for a while and could only ridicule this person's background.
"Just an ordinary person?" This Qin man's mouth was almost split to the base of his ears, and he said with a sneer on his face: "You can say it, but you don't open your eyes to see, who am I? I am from Great Qin. Gao Jue didn't tell you that the eighth-class nobles were promoted to the eighth-class nobles by decapitating people and performing meritorious deeds."
"Do you have a title?" Several scholars looked in disbelief as if they were listening to a fantasy.
Knighthood is a legendary existence in Shandong. Only those with good family backgrounds are qualified to obtain the title. Otherwise, even if you have great merit, you will not get the title.
When they first heard what this Qin man said, these scholars really didn¡¯t believe it.
"Let you open your eyes." This Qin man was very proud. He took out a plaque from his arms and threw it to the scholars. Several scholars gathered together to take a look. It turned out that it was a title that proved that the man in front of him really won the eighth grade for his military merits. Wait for the title.
"This I won't be dazzled, right?" Several scholars really didn't believe it.
"You scholars from Shandong are still looking at problems with the old ideas of the past. This is the Qin Dynasty. Regardless of your origin, as long as you have done meritorious service, you can get a title. Even if you have a grudge against your superior, you will still be rewarded for your meritorious deeds." I have to reward you." This Qin man held his head high and his chest high, very proud.
"Aren't you afraid that Emperor Qin will punish you for your words?" Chunyu Yue was a little disbelieving, and looked at the Qin man with his eyes wide open.
"There is no law in Qin where one will be punished for speaking like this." The Qin man replied blurtly.
"Don't you say that Qin's laws are harsh and violent, and Qin people dare not speak out, but they can only follow the road when they see each other?" Chunyue Yu would never believe it.
"Have you read this book to your stomach? Are you going to follow others' opinions?" The Qin man sneered with disdain: "The road is based on the eyes. The Qin people cherish their time. They don't want to talk more when we meet and waste precious time." Just say hello with a wink."
"Is what you said true?" Chunyu Yue seemed to be listening to a fantasy.
"Have you read the Qin Code? There is nothing in the Qin Code that prohibits people from speaking." This Qin man held his head high and his chest high.
"This" Chunyu Yue blushed. He really hadn't read Qin Code.
"Do you want me to recite it to you?" The Qin man grinned and sneered: "I haven't even read the Qin Code, so I'm just talking nonsense here. I really don't know what it means."
"You can still memorize Qin's laws?" Some scholars didn't believe it.
"How did you say this? Qin Rencheng?The next thing that must be done is to memorize the Qin Law. You must remember the Qin Law at all times and don't make mistakes. This man was very proud and said: "We remember Qin's law and we don't have to commit any crime." At that time, even if people with ulterior motives want to frame us, they will not succeed. I know the laws of Qin, who dares to frame me? "
Every adult Qin citizen must memorize the Qin Law. This has been a compulsory course since King Shang's reform. Everyone knows how terrible Qin's laws are. Who dares to violate Qin's laws? Precisely because everyone knows the law and understands it, people with ulterior motives dare not frame others. This is an important reason for Qin's political clarity.
"The scholars were all stunned. They never imagined that even ordinary Qin people could remember Qin's laws. They originally thought it was the boast of Qin people, but now they have to believe it.
"This is too" They felt incredible.
"Stop talking about this, you want to invest in a store, right? Let me tell you, there is no place to live now. If you want to live, come to my house." This Qin man changed the subject.
"Staying at your house?" The scholar didn't believe it.
"Don't you think about it, what time of year is it now? On the great day when the world is reunited, Your Majesty will hold a great meeting, and invite officials from all over the country, as well as you scholars and learned people, to Xianyang. Can there be fewer people? You We arrived too late and have no place to live. Fortunately, your Majesty is wise and has issued a special order to allow us to entertain you." The Qin man explained the reason.
"Okay. Let's go with you. Can you live there?" The scholar was a little worried.
"Don't worry. We Qin people not only have good food and drink, but also live well. Which family doesn't have a few spacious houses?" This man was very proud and said to Chunyu Yue: "Don't come here. I don¡¯t like you, please find another place to live.¡±
"You" Chunyu Yue didn't expect this Qin man to be so direct, and he almost got angry.
"We Qin people don't know how to beat around the bush, and we like to go straight. If you can't stand it, just slap yourself." This Qin person turned around and left, leaving the back of his head to Chun Yuyue.
"The people of Qin are tigers and wolves." Chunyu Yue was furious, his face turned red and his neck became thick.
More and more people rushed to Xianyang. Eventually, even the houses of common people were full. This was the largest number of people in Xianyang since Shang Jun's reform.
The day before the Great Court Meeting, Meng Ao and Han Fei finally rushed back from the Western Regions.
Meng Ao is Qin Yiren's master, and he treats Qin Yiren like a family member. In Qin Yiren's mind, Meng Ao is his elder. When he heard that he was coming, he went out to welcome him personally.
When they met, they saw that Meng Ao's beard and hair were all white, and he was much older, but his body was very strong, his face was red, and he spoke like a bell.
"The old general is getting old. Someone needs to replace him in the Western Region." Qin Yiren saw Meng Ao's old appearance and felt heartbroken.
"Your Majesty is merciful, and Meng Ao is grateful. However, my body is still strong and I can still work for many years." Meng Ao said with great pride.
"I have met you, your Majesty. Han Fei thanks you for your kindness." Han Fei stepped forward quickly and greeted Qin Yiren, saying his words smoothly.
"You" Qin Yiren pointed at Han Fei with a surprised look on his face.
Fan Sui, Wang Jian, and Li Si all looked disbelieving and shocked.
Everyone knows that Han Fei stutters and speaks stammeringly. This is the first time they have seen Han Fei speak so fluently. Qin Yiren and the others were not surprised, as if they saw the sun rising from the west.
"Your Majesty, are you surprised why Han Fei speaks so fluently?" Meng Ao stroked his beard and said to Qin Yiren with a smile on his face.
"Aren't you talking nonsense? Who doesn't know that Han Fei stutters? He is very tired talking, and we are even more tired listening to him." Qin Yiren rolled his eyes angrily.
"Your Majesty, this is all thanks to you." Meng Ao's eyes sparkled.
"Oh. How do you say this?" Qin Yiren was puzzled.
"Your Majesty, when you demoted Han Fei to the Western Regions, you made a decree that Han Fei should not be allowed to enter the country without a single word. I thought to myself, this Han Fei is young and capable. If he wants to say nothing, It was quite difficult to enter the customs. I thought about it over and over, and finally thought of a way to lock Han Fei up. He was not allowed to write, so he could only mutter in the room alone.
After muttering for a long time, he actually became fluent in speaking. Although there was still some gap between his normal level and his normal level, it was already much better. Meng Ao explained triumphantly, raised his thumb, and said: "Your Majesty, I have found a wonderful way to cure stuttering. From now on, anyone who stutters will be given to me and they will be cured." "
"Haha!" Everyone laughed loudly, feeling very happy.
?? Han Fei is very talented, but he doesn¡¯t speak fluently. If he is given a high position, his efficiency will be very poor.?Not too high. If he didn't stutter, there would be no problem. Qin Yiren was very pleased and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that sending Han Fei to the Western Regions would yield such a harvest. Not bad."
When everyone entered the palace, Qin Yiren asked people to hold a banquet. During the banquet, they asked about the affairs of the Western Regions, and Meng Ao came one by one.
The current Western Regions are much better than when they were first conquered. The people in the Western Regions already know the military might of the Qin State and dare not have any dissent. They are all honest and law-abiding.
Of course, this has something to do with the good life that Qin brought them. Although the economy of the Western Regions today is still not developed enough and there is a big gap compared with the mainland of the Central Plains, people in the Western Regions can already have enough to eat. This is the first time in the history of the Western Regions and it is very rare.
The next day, the imperial meeting was held as scheduled.
Qin Yiren, surrounded by important ministers such as Fan Sui and Wang Jian, came to the imperial palace. When he took a quick look, he almost fell to the ground.
It¡¯s not for anything else, just because there are too many people.
The Chao Palace is the largest palace in the Qin Palace. It can accommodate thousands of people. At this time, there are only 10,000 people in the Chao Palace, which is about the same. It can be said that people are so crowded that it is difficult to turn around. Difficulty is no different from the food market entrance where people come in and out.
