Chapter 134 Your Majesty, This Is War!

In fact, Emperor Shihuang was not a fool, and Li Si was not a fool either, they just lacked a certain amount of experience.

The first emperor's decrees were essentially to strengthen the weak branches and strengthen the centralization of power.

Zhao Si, on the other hand, opened a new window by absorbing the experience of successful people from a historical perspective.

"Tell me carefully." Shi Huang asked with great interest.

The enemy of Daqin is not the Six Kingdoms, but Jiugui. This is a good starting point.

"At present, the old nobles of the six countries, the land has not been lost, the title has not been lost, the family education has not been dissipated, and the reputation has not been lost. There are no laws against the old nobles of the six countries, except for the new order to bring troops to the old nobles of the six countries. .

Right now, the nobles of Great Qin are the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms, but the world has already been unified, how can one country support the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms? "

"The Great Qin is the trunk, and the Six Kingdoms are the branches. What we should do now is to prune the branches and leaves." Zhao Si said in a heavy tone.

"The branches and leaves take away the nutrients from the trunk, so the trunk can't be thick and thick. To trim the branches and leaves, you need to use a knife!" Zhao Si's eyes were sharp.

"At present, the Great Qin has a vast territory, but there are not enough officials, and the law is not as good as the local. The old prestige and wealth of the six countries are still there, such as the nobles of the six countries, such as the Xiang family of the Chu country, which can still influence the local area. In my humble opinion, everyone For old nobles with more than a thousand stones, a decree should be issued to move their families into the pass and gather in the pass.

In this way, the relocation of the great nobles from the six kingdoms can no longer affect the local area, and second, under the rule of the king city, no peace talks can be made with the nobles to influence government orders. Third, the wealth of the world can be collected and gathered in the pass. "

To relocate the old nobles of the six countries, certainly not everyone will relocate.

Those who want to relocate are the big nobles with great reputation, wealth, and vast land, which have seriously affected local governance, land distribution, and wealth ratio. The top nobles of the six countries are to be moved, not the group of small and medium-sized nobles.

Only great aristocrats with extensive wealth, fame, and land have the ability to control the local ecology and influence the rule of the Great Qin.

It is a good way to use a thousand stones as the standard. If one thousand stones goes up, they are all great nobles.

The First Emperor nodded and said, "That's right, but where should the old nobles of the six kingdoms be relocated to the customs? How should the land be distributed and how should they be appeased?"

Zhao Si smiled and shook his head upon hearing this.

"Your Majesty, to prune the branches and leaves, use a knife!"

"They are the obstacles and enemies of Daqin's ruling place, not the objects of Daqin's appeasement."

"Divide the land? Why do you want to divide the land? The division is also in accordance with the laws of Daqin, and the land is divided by a family of [-] mu. Does Daqin have to compensate them for how much land they have in Guanzhong?
The six kingdoms are destroyed, the title is not lost, the land is not lost, the wealth is not collected, the king cannot be loyal and die, and most of the wealth can be preserved by bending his knees. How can there be such a good thing? "

"When Shang Jun reformed, he punished and killed the old clan and divided everyone into small families. During the reform, the third Bai clan of Mengxi punished and killed more than a thousand sons. His son Qian had his nose tattooed because of it. The clans in the pass were bleeding. There are not a few people who even die with their whole family.

Their titles are won by military exploits and by bloodshed.

Which of the high-ranking nobles in Guanzhong today is not granted the title because of meritorious service?Even the children of the royal family, without military merits, cannot enter the ancestral temple and eat salary.

The old nobles of the Six Kingdoms have no contribution to welcome the dedication, second, they cannot die for the king, and third, they disrupt the local governance policy.

Why appease?Why didn't the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms shed the blood of the old clan and the public clan? "

"Your Majesty Bo Langsha was assassinated, and the murderer has not been captured so far. Could the assassin become a bird in the sky and swim in the sea? Shang Jun is not immune to the succession system and official post system he formulated. , then why was the assassin able to escape?

The decrees implemented by Daqin came out of Guanzhong, and the progress was slow and difficult to implement. On the one hand, it was because there were not enough officials, the land was too vast, and the message transmission was too slow.

But even those who assassinated His Majesty could escape.

There are bad people among the masses, Your Majesty! "

"How did the assassin know His Majesty's path, how did he escape the inspection of the accompanying soldiers, and how did he escape after the assassination failed?"

"How much blood was shed by the old clan and the public clan when the Shang monarch reformed?"

"The current group of old nobles from the Six Nations will not be wronged even if they draw out ten and kill five!"

"The laws of the Qin Dynasty are strict, but as long as the people can survive, I have never heard of those who deliberately violated the laws of Qin by becoming bandits for the sake of their future. All they ask for is a three-foot shelter and a few acres of Susukida to feed themselves."

"But what the nobles want is not only to have a full stomach, but also to survive." Zhao Si looked up at the First Emperor.

"From the south to Baiyue with an army of 60 and Hetao with an army of 30, when the Great Qin destroyed the six kingdoms, the dead were the heads of Guizhou.

No matter how much tax is collected from the people, as long as there is enough food left over for the people to feed their stomachs, the people will not complain.

But what about the nobility?They raise doormen, annex fields, and evade taxes.

Treat the common people to make them live on the edge of life and death, and treat the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms just to let them move their families, and they will rebel against it.

In this way, who is right and who is wrong? "

"There is nothing wrong with the Five Arts of Controlling the People.

But they are people when taxes are collected, and they are expensive when taxes are not collected.How can there be such a good thing in the world? "

"Confucianism says that the people are the most important thing, and legalism says that the people are weak and weak. Who is the people?"

"I compare Daqin and the place to the trunk and the branches and leaves. Who are the branches and leaves? Who is competing for nutrition with the trunk?
It's not Qianshou. At most, Guishou can't bear to live as a thief, but he doesn't have the ability to rebel against cholera and Qin Law.

Young Master Chengqiao rebelled, and Lord Changping rebelled, but I have never heard of any Guizhou leader who gathered a group of people to rebel.

Guishou are not branches and leaves, they are just a drop of water, a little mud.

Qianshouwei never competed with tree trunks for nutrition. On the contrary, they provided nutrition for tree trunks. One family taxed one thousand catties, and ten families received ten thousand catties. One family served one person, and ten families paid ten thousand soldiers.

Qianshou Qianjia provided thousands of catties of grain, and Wanjia Guishou sent [-] soldiers.

Together they are everything a tree grows. "

"There are only so many Qianshou in the world, and the food wealth that can be supported is limited. Besides Daqin, who else is Guishou supporting? Their wealth and food, besides being handed over to Daqin, who else will be taken away?"

"That's why I said that the foundation of the Great Qin is not the old clan, but the people of the old Qin. Similarly, the foundation of the Great Qin in the world is definitely not the old nobles of the six kingdoms, but the thousands of Li Shu in the world." Zhao Si said in a deep voice. road.

"Therefore, Da Qin doesn't need to show any sympathy for the old nobles of the six countries, nor does he need to care about any opinions."

"Your Majesty, this is war! The two countries are at war to seize each other's cities and land wealth by any means. Since ancient times, they have only heard of distant and close attacks, but never heard of appeasement while attacking."

The First Emperor took the time to adjust his sitting posture, looked at Zhao Si with a smile and said, "Do you have a problem with the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms?"

During the court meeting, Zhao Si proposed to be lenient to the common people, refuting the weak and weak people. The first emperor only thought that Zhao Si had benevolence and kindness in his heart.

But now it seems that this is not the case!
When the first emperor deliberately interrupted Zhao Si to terminate Zhao Si's speech, the first emperor realized what Zhao Si wanted to say.

He just didn't expect that Zhao Si would dare to say such a terrific thing.

Zhao Si is not weak or benevolent. His weakness and kindness are aimed at Li Shu, which is a bit like Confucianism.

But Zhao Si is not blindly weak and kind, he is also very ruthless, he directly treats the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms as an enemy, treats them with hostility, and even says that there is more than enough to kill ten and five deaths.This is a bit legalist.

Zhao Si also put forward the theory of strong stems and weak branches, comparing people to everything that grows from trees.

But Zhao Si raised again, who is the people?Who is Zhi?

It's very interesting. Putting these words in the world is a big disgrace to the world.

If Zhao Si put forward these suggestions openly, and even promoted them accordingly, maybe Zhao Si would end up in the same fate as Shang Yang in the end.

It is not impossible to come to Zhao Siqing's side.

"I don't have much opinion on the nobles. It's just that it's difficult to rule a place with the public clan alone, and it's difficult to make government orders well." Zhao Si said seriously.

"I just think that there is no reason why the blood of the old clan and the old clan should not be shed."

"It's expensive to relocate the old six countries..."

The First Emperor looked at Zhao Si and fell into deep thought.

This is indeed a good proposal, if the old nobles of the six countries are regarded as enemies.

According to the standard of one thousand stones, the nobles with more than one thousand stones have extremely high prestige and wealth, which can directly affect the local ecology. If they are relocated, the government orders and rule of Daqin will be smoother.

Secondly, if the nobles moved with their families, they would definitely not be able to retain a large number of their own properties and fields, so they could only sell them at a low price.

But who dares to buy their fields and estates and slaves?

There is no doubt that it is Daqin.

Daqin can take the opportunity to get a big bargain.

After the aristocrats of the six countries sold their land properties and entered the customs, they did not consider distributing the land to the other party, but only gave them homesteads to settle down. In fact, they did not need a lot of land.

Correspondingly, they brought a large amount of property that had been realized, and the wealth was gathered in Guanzhong in a disguised form.

I only brought people and money, and I was born in an unfamiliar place, so I must consume, at least build a house, right?
The money will then flow into the pass, instead of being digested by the nobles.

It doesn’t take much land to just divide the homesteads. There are not a few official lands in Daqin, so it is still possible to settle this batch of old and expensive homesteads.

If you were a little more ruthless, you wouldn't even divide the homestead, but sell it... and you would be able to suck another mouthful of blood.

What Zhao Si said was good...

Isn't it just to let them move, and it's not to let them die. Daqin actually left them with a glimmer of life.

Nor were they forbidden to spend, nor were they forbidden to buy slaves and goods.

Of course, it is foreseeable that the nobles will definitely not accept Daqin's benevolence like charity.
