Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 242, Mausoleum System, Nanyuan Confidential
Lu Buwei looked at Ying Zheng's unbelievable expression, and said in a deep voice
"This matter is indeed not a lie by Mr. Ziyou. The local dignitaries rely on the money in their hands to buy land in the hands of the people who cannot survive. Although this kind of thing is common, but after a long time, the land in their hands is no longer a minority. .

These same rich and powerful families have been operating in the local area for generations. Their foundation is deep and their influence on the local area is also great. "

"Why didn't anyone report this before?" Ying Zheng looked at the crowd and asked.

Everyone present was watching their minds, and no one said a word. Looking at the expressions of everyone, Ying Zheng already understood that this kind of thing is not an isolated case, but a common phenomenon. The land is the root. The law does not explicitly prohibit the sale of land, and the people who buy and sell the most powerful land are not other people, but they are those who rely on military merit.

"Because these people's land purchases are handled by the local government, and the process is also in accordance with Qin law, and there is nothing illegal, so the court did not pay attention." Li Si stood up and said for Yingzheng. The rich and powerful buy land, as long as it is not forced to sell to the local government, there is nothing to say.

Everyone knows what the disadvantages of going on like this are, but no one touches it, because this matter is nothing more than a common thing. Since Shang Jun opened the fields and broke the well fields, this kind of thing has become more and more common.As for the fact that the local clan has a deep foundation and has a profound influence on the local area, they are also helpless. They have no evidence of breaking the law in the hands of the government, and they cannot impose sanctions.

It is easy for the court to deal with the local big clans, but taking action against these big clans without any basis will not only undermine the Qin law, but also affect the stability of the place, and it will also do great harm to the people's hearts and the reputation of the Qin court.

Ying Zheng thought for a while and figured out the reason. All their actions were carried out within Qin Fa, even if they were outside Qin Fa, most of them were covered up due to their influence on the place.Thinking of this, Yingzheng opened the memorial played by Qu Yi. Qu Yi explained the dangers of the powerful and powerful families in these places about the rebellion in Shu County. The guards and servants of the rich families in these places range from hundreds to thousands If they hadn't prepared in advance this time, once these people rebelled, they would be a force that cannot be ignored.

"Is there no reasonable solution to this matter?" Ying Zheng asked in a deep voice.

For the first time, Yingzheng felt that the seemingly powerful Qin State now has begun to erode its foundation. The powerful and powerful families have begun to erode the foundation of Qin State from land, local influence, and economy. If it weren't for Ziyou now He pointed out that when these people are too big to lose their heads, Qin will not be far from perishing.

"The strength of powerful families lies in their long-term management of the place. It is one way to let them leave the place, but it is another problem to let them leave willingly." Li Sisuo said.

"Fame and fortune move people's hearts. Unless they have higher interests, these powerful families will not leave the place where they have been operating for many years." Han Fei said.As long as they don't suddenly get brain disease and become dizzy, they won't leave their territory for no reason.

"Teacher, what can you do?" Ying Zheng looked at Ziyou.

Everyone also looked at Ziyou. Since Ziyou raised this question, he must have thought of a solution.

"Ritual music, mausoleum." Ziyou said.

The mausoleum is something that the monarch cannot avoid in his life. After the monarch succeeds to the throne, the officials responsible for the construction of the mausoleum began to select sites and mobilize manpower to build the mausoleum for the monarch.The reason why the monarch attaches so much importance to the mausoleum lies in ritual and music. The mausoleum was built to show the uniqueness of the monarch and emphasize the power of the monarch.

When everyone heard Ziyou's words, they began to think about the connection between the mausoleum and the nobles and powers of these places.

"Sir, do you mean that you want these local nobles to build mausoleums?" Lu Buwei Fuxu asked.

"Yes."

"What if these powerful families are unwilling? If they are forced to build the mausoleum, it may shake up the place." Ying Zheng said with some concern.

"The mausoleum is the place where the monarch will rest for a hundred years. It is a gift from the king to let these powerful families build the mausoleum and be responsible for the safety of the mausoleum. It is not enough for ordinary people to guard the tomb of the monarch. Let these local dignitaries Hao Qiang moved his family to build and guard the mausoleum for the king, which was a reward from the king. Can ordinary people have the honor of being buried outside the mausoleum of the king after their death? If they refuse, they will despise the king and be punished according to Qin law .”

After finishing speaking, a smile appeared on Ziyou's face. Lu Buwei and others looked at Ziyou's smile and felt the hairs on their backs.The method proposed by Ziyou is exactly the mausoleum system proposed by Liu Jing in the Western Han Dynasty, using the method of guarding the mausoleum of the monarch to relocate the powerful and powerful families in these places.Guarding the mausoleum for the monarch is what a courtier should do, not to mention that the tomb after death can be buried not far from the mausoleum of the monarch, which is a great reward.

The mausoleum system is also a kind of conspiracy, and these local dignitaries can only swallow this breath.If you refuse, you are despising the monarch, and you should be punished. If you resist, it is treason. It is not vegetarian to move your army.At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the rapid restoration of national power was due to the mausoleum system. The money, food and land left by the powerful and powerful in the relocated places greatly enhanced the strength of the Han Dynasty. , Only in the early years of the Han Dynasty did they dare to continuously reduce taxes.Taxation, Fu is land tax, and tax is poll tax.When the local powerful clans were relocated, more land could be divided into common people, and the servants and tenants hidden by the powerful clans were released, thus providing strong taxation support for the Han Dynasty. hand was abolished.

"Junior brother, when did you become proficient in rites and music?" Han Fei said with a smile. The root of the mausoleum system is rites and music, and rites and music are also the basis for maintaining the status of the powerful and powerful in these places, so they can only recognize the mausoleum no matter what. system.

"Compared to senior brother, I am a serious Confucian student." Ziyou said jokingly.

Everyone also laughed. Apart from Li Si, Han Fei also scratched his head in embarrassment. Ritual and music are compulsory courses for Confucian disciples. Of course he and Li Si have also learned it, but both of them focus on learning Legalism Ideologically, I naturally did not delve into rituals and music.But Han Fei didn't believe that Ziyou would study rituals and music. He and Li Si didn't study rituals and music, but Ziyou used rituals and music as a foot wipe.

"But it's just treating the symptoms, not the root cause," Ying Zheng said.

The mausoleum system seems to be able to restrict the local powerful and powerful, but relying on the accumulation of the family, they can quickly revive in a new place and become a local powerful again.

"They are building the mausoleum for the mausoleum. If they only contribute to the mausoleum without money, it is not considered loyal to the majesty. The majesty is not a person who does not care about his subjects. It is not a benevolent king to let him use his own money to buy the construction materials for the mausoleum. So this purchase material can directly let the court to buy transportation for free, so that the courtiers will be less tired." Han Fei said with a sinister smile.

Han Fei didn't have the slightest liking for the rich and powerful in these places. In the past, he lacked honest means to sanction them. Now that Ziyou provided a solution, he would certainly seize an opportunity to make things worse. If these people hadn't died on the way, Harmful to the majesty and credibility of the court, Han Fei wanted to kill them on the way.

"In addition, it should be strictly stipulated that if the mausoleum is guarded, unless there is an edict from the king, they are not allowed to leave the vicinity of the mausoleum. If the mausoleum is in some remote areas, or where it borders the Huns, as long as there are enough people, it is enough to form a This is a great achievement and deserves to be recorded in history." Li Si also said with a smile.

Li Si's suggestion completely put an end to the idea of ​​these great clans returning. As for leaving a name in history, Qin Wangzheng moved a certain family to Beidi County in a certain year, which can be regarded as leaving a name in history. As for whether it is good or bad in the eyes of future generations, they Never mind.Good people don't leave their hometowns, let alone being pushed away by the army.So Li Si's move was even more murderous.

Ying Zheng, Lu Buwei, Wei Liao and others looked at the three Confucian-born Ziyou, and they felt scared for a while. Confucianism really kills people without blinking an eye. Not only will they kill you, but they will also make you wipe your neck willingly. of.

Wei Liao, Wang Jian, and Meng Wu had already decided in their hearts that no one should provoke Confucianism in the future. Confucian soft knives are more terrifying than hard knives. It has the meaning of taking great revanchism into the core.This kind of Confucianism cannot be offended.

"Since everyone has no objections, then this matter will be put on the agenda. This matter will be handed over to the Prime Minister's Mansion in advance. The Prime Minister's Mansion and Tingwei will make specific regulations and then promote them. Carefully consider the standards for migration. As for the migration The location of the widow's mausoleum is tentatively designated as Lishan Mountain, first come up with the regulations, and if there is a more suitable place in the future, I will revise it." Ying Zheng said.

"No!" Lu Buwei and Li Si saluted and said.

At this time, the local powerful and domineering clans had no idea that the Qin Dynasty had begun to extend their sickle to them, ready to harvest them.The mausoleum system is aimed at the powerful and powerful in the local area, and the reaction from the court will not be too intense. The nobles in Xianyang are the real powerful, and the military lords who are eligible to stay in Xianyang are not powerful, they are wealthy.

The harm of the powerful clan is more serious than that of the powerful, but Qin still needs the support of these powerful clans to evaluate the six countries. After the world is stabilized, these wealthy clans don’t need to deliberately attack them, they will run into their own guns. Of course, all of this The premise is that Fusu, the successor, has enough courage to deal with these military lords, which is a later story.

After the small meeting, Ziyou didn't return to his Master Wang's residence, but went straight to the Academy of Sciences.

He wanted to see how the Academy of Sciences was progressing.

After Ziyou came to the Academy of Sciences, Qin Mo and the public losers were clearly separated, and some people were studying agricultural tools, water conservancy, and smelting technology.

Some people are constantly testing various siege engines and new weapons.

These people studied extremely seriously and did not pay any attention to Ziyou's arrival.

Ziyou didn't bother them. One of the bow and arrow tests attracted Ziyou's attention. Ziyou stood on the outside and watched the research inside.

A disciple of the public loser held a crossbow in his hand, and inserted a rather strange bow and arrow into the crossbow.

The arrowhead of the bow is made of fine iron, and there is an obvious pot-shaped object wrapped around the arrowhead.

With the pull of the trigger, the bow and arrow were shot, and the bow and arrow flying in mid-air gradually emitted a puff of white smoke.

At the moment when the bow and arrow collided with the target, an explosion sounded, and the target was instantly torn apart, and even nearby targets were burned.

The surrounding disciples were all startled by this scene, but the disciple holding the crossbow frowned tightly. The power of the explosion just now did not meet his expectations.

"How did you cause the explosion?" Ziyou's voice sounded.

The disciples of the public loser looked at Ziyou standing behind them and saluted one after another.

"gentlemen!"

"Excuse me, who invented the bow and arrow just now?" Ziyou asked again.

The explosion just now almost made him think that the black powder had been released in advance, but the smell left in the air was not the smell of black powder.

"It was invented by my disciple. Disciple Gong Shuhai pays a visit to the master." The disciple who was experimenting put down the bow and crossbow in his hand and put down his luggage.

"What happened to the explosion just now?"

"Just now, my disciple was experimenting with a new type of crossbow." As he spoke, Gong Shuhai brought another identical crossbow to Ziyou.

"The small jar on the outside of the front end of this crossbow bolt is filled with kerosene, and there is a misplaced flint and combustion aid between the front arrow and the jar. As long as the crossbow arrow hits someone, the flint will ignite the combustion aid, thus igniting the fire oil." Gong Shuhai said.

Ziyou disassembled the arrowhead, and sure enough, he saw a small weapon. Looking at Gongshuhai in front of him, Ziyou thought of the steel cannon that the armor-piercing soldiers led by Wang Li led by Wang Li in the Mingyue Dynasty of Qin Dynasty used to besiege Mount Daze. heavy crossbow.

"I saw you frowning just now, what's going on?" Ziyou continued to ask.

"Mr. Hui, the damage caused by the explosion of the crossbow bolts has not met my expectation, so I am wondering what is wrong with it." Gong Shuhai said.

"I see, this is for you." Ziyou took out a folded paper from his pocket and put it in Gongshuhai's hand.

"This is?" Gongshu Hai asked suspiciously.

"A way to achieve your expected damage." Ziyou said.

"It's fine for you to look at this thing yourself. Others can't show it to you even if they want it from you. From today onwards, the South Campus is yours to use. Tell me what you need. If you understand it after research, just come to me." Ziyou said.

Hearing what Ziyou said, Gong Shuhai immediately felt that the paper in his hand was extremely heavy. This is definitely a secret among secrets.

The surrounding disciples also looked at Gongshuhai with envy. The South Campus is the most secret place in the entire Academy of Sciences, and those who can enter the research are without exception Gongshuo and Qin Mo's top management.
