Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Chun Yuyue was a very pedantic person. Historically, he asked Qin Shihuang to imitate the Three Dynasties system in enfeoffment. This led to the burning of books and the entrapment of Confucian scholars, which brought infamy to the Qin Dynasty.

    Now, he was persuaded by Qin Yiren, finally realized the problem of the enfeoffment system, and supported the prefecture and county system.

    If this person has changed his views, then there should be no such thing as burning books and humiliating Confucians.  Qin Yiren had no intention of attacking Confucianism. Although Confucianism was pedantic and irrelevant, it still had its merits.  Because among the hundreds of schools of thought, Confucianism is the best at whitewashing. If used well, it will be enough to bring great benefits to Qin.

    "Your Majesty, Chunyu Yue has one more thing to report." Chunyu Yue did not receive a reward for the enfeoffment, and said hurriedly, feeling unwilling to do so.

    "Oh. Tell me." Qin Yiren said.

    "Your Majesty, now that the world has been united, the writings of other countries can no longer be used, and the Qin Dynasty should rewrite the writings." Chunyu Yue said hurriedly.

    "Good!" Qin Yiren nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Sir, you are right. Now that the world is unified, the writings of other countries cannot be used. Do you know? I read memorials every day. This is a headache. Use Qi Wen  Some are written in Zhaowen, some are written in Chuwen, some are written in Yanwen, some are written in Weiwen, and some are written in Korean. It will take a lot of time for me to just hire someone to translate. The same text of this book is  It¡¯s inevitable.¡±

    Finally, he made a suggestion that Qin Yiren appreciated. Chunyu was more satisfied and held his head high.

    "Sir, this is a very good idea. Let's enjoy the wine." Qin Yiren waved his right hand, and a waiter immediately brought a bottle of wine.

    Chunyu Yue first thanked Qin Yiren, then took the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp, dripping with joy.  As a celebrity, it would be too shameful if you didn't get a drink.

    "I dare to ask your Majesty, what kind of writing should be used to unify the world's writing?" Chunyu Yue looked at Qin Yiren and asked.

    "Sir, you have already made up your mind when you ask this. What kind of writing do you think is appropriate?" Qin Yiren did not answer, but asked rhetorically.

    "Your Majesty, Chunyu Yue thinks that Qin's laws and regulations are appropriate." Chunyu Yue said hurriedly: "Qin is the world, and Qin's laws and regulations are most suitable for the world."

    "That's right." There was a chorus of agreement.

    The Qin State unified the world, and it seemed to be a matter of course that the Qin State's text became a unified text.

    "No!" Qin Yiren categorically rejected: "What kind of writing should be used as the world's writing system needs to be verified by well-educated people. Which kind of writing is the orthodoxy of China and represents the inheritance of China, which kind of writing should be used by the world.  Writing does not necessarily have to be written by Qin."

    "Writing is different from other things. It doesn't seem to be very important, but in fact it is extremely important. It is a kind of inheritance, which represents the civilization of China and cannot be careless.  Only those who can conduct research and authenticate and represent the inheritance of China can promote it in the world.

    Historically, Qin Shihuang promoted the Qin Dynasty¡¯s Zhouwen throughout the world. This was because after careful research by learned scholars, they unanimously believed that the Qin Dynasty¡¯s Zhouwen was the most orthodox and best representative of the Chinese heritage.  The reason is that the land acquired by the Qin State was the old land of the Zhou Dynasty, which was the land of Qifeng. After the Qin State inherited the old land of the Zhou Dynasty, it also inherited the writing used by the Zhou Dynasty.

    The characters used by the Zhou Dynasty originated from the characters of the Shang Dynasty, and the characters of the Shang Dynasty originated from the Xia Dynasty.  Therefore, Qin's Zhenwen is the most orthodox among other countries.

    "Your Majesty's mind is broader than the sea. Chunyu Yue admires you." Chunyu Yue bowed at ninety degrees and said respectfully.

    The foreigners of Qin did not use Qin's writings, but had to go through textual research and choose the most orthodox and most representative writings of Chinese heritage to promote to the world. This mind is extremely broad and impressive.

    "Your Majesty is wise." Everyone in the palace was dissatisfied and praised in unison. The word was not "wise" but "sage", which shows how convinced they were.

    In this way, the discussion became more and more harmonious and the atmosphere became better and better. Everyone rushed to offer suggestions and speak freely.

    In the first few days, many scholars and learned people from Shandong were reprimanded.  Because they were not used to the purge of the Qin court, they made the mistake of criticizing and criticizing.  After a few days, they got used to it and nothing like this happened again.

    On the matters discussed, the initial differences were relatively large. As time went by, more and more consensuses were reached, and the differences became smaller and smaller.

    By the eighteenth day, there were no more differences and a consensus was reached.

    Qin Yiren sent Fan Sui, Wang Jian, Huang Shigong, Wei Liao, Li Si, Li Mu, Sima Shang, Han Fei, Cai Ze, Fan Zeng, Meng Wu, Meng Ao, Wang Ling, Zheng Guo, Li Bing, Dun Ruo, Yao Jia,  Xunzi, Gongsun Longzi and other important civil and military officials and famous scholars gathered in the study room.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????In recent court discussions, differences have become smaller and smaller and consensus has increased, which is a good thing.  With everyone's opinion, we can officially take innovative measures.  "

    "Yes, I agree." Fan Sui was the first to express his position, saying: "This court meeting was very successful. The enthusiasm was high, people spoke freely, and many issues we had not thought of before were raised. As long as the government comes up with innovative measures, let the officials  Once we understand it, we can formally implement it and eliminate the long-standing abuses across the country."

    "That's right." There was a chorus of agreement, and everyone nodded heavily, greatly agreeing with Fan Sui's words.

    "Your Majesty, there is one more matter that must be dealt with promptly." Han Fei raised his eyebrows and said, "Ancestral temples and royal tombs in various countries are public objects and should be destroyed! Just a trace will prevent trouble."!

    The royal tombs of the ancestral temples of the Six Kingdoms are not private, but are public objects because they have symbolic significance.  If you leave it alone, you will give it to those with ulterior motives who will take the opportunity to cause trouble.  Therefore, destroying the ancestral temples and royal tombs of various countries is the best way to deal with it.

    "Han Fei, your opinion is very true. But, have you ever thought about the ancestral temple tombs in South Korea?" Qin Yiren nodded, looked at Han Fei and asked.

    "Hey!" Han Fei sighed, clasped his fists at Qin Yiren, and said, "Your Majesty, I am from South Korea. This cannot be changed. Please don't destroy Korean ancestral temples and royal tombs."

    Han Fei¡¯s background was the most distressing thing for him. If he hadn¡¯t come from a Korean clan, he would not have been exiled to the Western Regions by Qin Yiren.

    "Han Fei, before I sent troops to destroy Korea, you came to see me with disheveled hair to plan for Korea. In fact, you didn't want to save Korea, but you were fulfilling your filial piety because you can't abandon your ancestors." Qin Yiren nodded.  .

    As soon as these words came out, Han Fei's eyes turned red and he almost cried.  Qin Yiren's words touched his heart. Han Fei did what he did at that time not because he really wanted to save Korea, but because he was born in a Korean clan and could not abandon his ancestors or contribute to Korea. He was fulfilling his filial piety.

    "The only person who can understand Han Fei is Qin Yiren. It's no wonder that Han Fei is not excited."

    "Han Fei, let's make an agreement. If you are loyal to the Qin Dynasty, then I will keep the royal tomb of the Korean ancestral temple. If you have different intentions, don't blame me for being ruthless." Qin Yiren's eyes flashed as he stared at Han Fei.

    "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will do my best." Qin Yiren showed kindness outside the law. How could Han Fei not be moved? He knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Qin Yiren to express his gratitude.

    Qin Yiren helped Han Fei up and said to everyone: "After these days of court discussions, we believe that the main reform measures are: to collect information on the people, to find out the numbers of mountains, rivers, geography, humanities and people, and to provide accurate numbers for governance. This is the first step.  First priority.¡±

    The census is equivalent to the current "census" and is extremely important.  Only by obtaining first-hand accurate information from the public can we carry out governance.

    "The road is impassable and difficult to pass. It is imperative that cars and cars travel on the same track. Cai Ze must come up with a charter for this matter." Qin Yiren said to Cai Ze.

    Roads vary in width and width, and the roads in one country are different from those in another country. This will greatly hinder economic development. Road construction is the top priority.

    "If you want to be rich, build roads first." This makes sense.

    "No." Cai Ze hurriedly accepted the order.

    "Food is the most important thing for the people. The sky is big and the earth is big. Food is the biggest thing. If you want to have food, you have to cultivate land and develop agriculture. If you want to develop agriculture, you have to build water conservancy." Qin Yiren said to Li Bing and Zheng Guo  , said: "The construction of water conservancy projects will be left to you two. You must plan carefully."

    Li Bing and Zheng Guo are two peerless waterworkers, so it would be a good idea to assign them this matter.

    "Promise." To govern the world's water is exactly what the two of them want, and they are both overjoyed and accept the order happily.

    "The characters are different and communication is inconvenient. It is imperative that the books be written in the same text. This matter is left to Xunzi and Gongsun Longzi. The two led a group of learned people to research and verify the most orthodox characters that best represent the Chinese heritage." Qin  The stranger said to Xunzi and Gongsun Longzi.

    Xunzi and Gongsun Longzi were the leading figures in the academic circles at that time and were knowledgeable. It was reassuring to assign this matter to them.

    This is a great thing, I accept it happily.

    "Abolish the enfeoffments, establish prefectures and counties, and establish prefectures and counties in the world. Once prefectures and counties are established, all passes can be abolished. This matter cannot be delayed." Qin Yiren said to Li Si: "Since I came back from the northern expedition to Hungary, Li Si, you have been here  Let¡¯s get started on this matter. It¡¯s better to leave this matter to you and take the lead.¡±

    After Qin Yiren returned to Xianyang from the northern expedition to the Xiongnu, he sent Li Si to manage the atlas and collect information for this purpose.  Now, it's time for Li Si to show off.

    "No!" Li Si held his head high and loudly accepted the order.

    "Prime Minister, you are in the middle to provide support and control." Qin Yiren said to Fan Sui.

    "Promise." As the prime minister, Fan Sui does not do everything he needs to do, but rather coordinatesDegree of support.

    ¡°The meeting is suspended for now, and you should take action immediately and come up with feasible solutions.

    "Then the court meeting will be resumed, and we will take advantage of the opportunity of the gathering of officials, celebrities, and learned people from all over the country to have a detailed discussion."  Qin Yiren said finally.

    With more people, we are more powerful. We can brainstorm, find faults, and work out various details, making innovative measures more applicable, that is, more operable.

    After Fan Sui and the others accepted the order, they went about their business.

    Although Qin Yiren had long been preparing for governance after unification, they only knew how difficult it would be when the real thing came to pass.

    Qin Yiren, Fan Sui, and Li Si were so busy that they had no time to eat or sleep, and their eyes were red.

    It took a lot of effort and half a month to come up with a rough idea. Then, Qin Yiren held a court meeting again.

    Some time ago, after nearly 20 days of discussions, a consensus has been reached and there is no disagreement on the general direction.  However, there were huge differences on the details of the implementation. They were arguing every day, and the whole court was buzzing like thunder.

    Fortunately, as time goes by, this kind of controversy becomes smaller and smaller, and there is more and more consensus.
