Qi Zheng is inevitable, the ancients are cloudy, there are no two days in the sky, there are no two masters of the people, and the Chu State that was restored by the Xiang family and a few great nobles of the Chu State, Zhao, Jing, and Qu, must perish! In this world, there can only be one center! The imperial court governed by the Duke of Xia! One country, one weights and measures, one set of laws! “

This set of rhetoric came out of the mouth of a Confucian scholar, but Heifu already understood that when dealing with the village sages, he had to send a "great Confucian" like Shusun Tong to fool him.

"Or do you want to reuse the decree of Qin Shi Huang......"

The representatives of Chen Di's father and elder looked at each other, in the past ten years, they had enough of the dense and harsh Qin law.

"Not really."

Shusun Tong shook his head and said: "Qin Shi Huang didn't want to be governed, but those who lost it were punished by the mob." Xia Gong also thought that the law of Qin Shi Huang and Hu Hai was too harsh and too dense, so he ordered the law officials to take the Qin law, abolish it too harsh and difficult to do, and take those who are suitable for the time, and make nine chapters of the law. ”

He describes the heartwarming part of the new "Nine Chapters of Law":

"Abolish the five punishments, car splitting, and the three clans, etc., and only retain the beheading, beheading, and abandonment of the city."

"In addition, most corporal punishments will be abolished!"

"That's true!?"

Chen Di's father and the old scholars all straightened up all of a sudden, their faces happy.

There are many kinds of corporal punishment in Qin law, such as 黥 (piercing the face), 劓 (cutting off the nose), 刖 (cutting off the feet), palace (you know), etc., which are both mutilated and insulting, and the people who are tortured are generally slaves of the official envoys: the 黥 makes the guard of the door, the slasher makes the guard, the palace makes the guard inside, and the slasher makes the guard.

But Qin Law is easy to violate, and there is little tolerance, and there are more and more people who are being physically punished for a while, how can there be so many palaces that need to be guarded, so physically disabled slaves are all over the people.

Now Hefu has decided to abolish some corporal punishments.

The punishment was completely abolished, and the punishment was changed to a mark only for prisoners with a suspended death sentence, and the punishment of shaving the head and shaving the beard was raised, and the punishment was changed to cutting off the left and right toes, which could also play a role in preventing escape, and the palace punishment was only reserved for rapists, especially those who "have personal hobbies" pedophiles!

Shusun Tong couldn't help but sigh at this moment: "In ancient times, there was no corporal punishment and the world was peaceful, but when Qin Shi Huang, there were nine corporal punishments, but there was no more turmoil, so Xia Gong reduced it." ”

After saying that, they glanced at Chen Di's father and old scholars, and they were really full of praise, and said: "Xia Gong is benevolent!" ”

The reduction of punishment made many people breathe a sigh of relief, and it seems that Xia Gong does not intend to investigate them for the crime of "being a thief" - it stands to reason that everyone in Chen is against them, and the hundreds of thousands of people in the entire Chen Land can be held accountable.

At present, there are still more than three months left before the "second year of regency", and the Chen people are already looking forward to the early implementation of this new law.

And the matter of rent reduction is also quite exciting, you know, in order to maintain the war, the Chu army's expropriation of the people is no less than Qin, they are looking forward to the "Qi government", but they are looking forward to it, and the government is together, and the life will be stable.

Shusun Tong continued:

"The same is true of religious cultivation, since the tracks, measurements, and currencies are all the same, and the same script is bound to be implemented, and the whole world must use a unified script, and abolish the respective alien scripts. In the future, Xia Gong will build a county school, recruit the children of local scholars, and use the official script to conduct exams in the county! Not only the examination of laws and decrees, but also the examination of history, etiquette, mathematics, etc., in order to select talents, you can be a small official in the county, county, and township, and you can enter the court as a big official! “

Although the local squires who have received Chu-style education are more accustomed to Chu script, and their daily communication must be dominated by Chu dialect, after more than ten years of domestication, there are not a few who can write and speak Guanzhong Yayan.

Therefore, their opposition to this point is far less great than when Shu Tongwen was first introduced, and they are also very happy that their children have the opportunity to obtain the rank of rank.

Heifu also has his own considerations, he believes that although the book of Qin Shi Huang is an epoch-making good thing, in the promotion of writing and Mandarin, it is necessary to rely on interests and education, rather than an administrative order, and hope that everyone will speak it overnight - in the future until the 21st century, there will be a large number of people in remote areas who do not know Mandarin, and they can all be arrested and killed?

Therefore, the language can be discussed, after all, the inertia of the dialect is too great and cannot be changed for hundreds of years, but the written language must be unified, which is the biggest factor for China to maintain its unification for more than 2,000 years.

Moreover, it is easier to unify the script than to unify the language, because only one percent of the population needs to be forced. In order to get to the right meal, in order to enter the ladder of advancement, the scholars would study hard, and after a generation, few people would recognize the different words of the six countries, and then through them to influence 99% of the illiterate.

Then, Shusun Tong talked about the point that Chen Ren was most concerned about:

"Rule by custom."

"Chu people can still wear Chu clothes, speak Chu dialects, use Chu rites, eat Chu food, and worship their gods, and they will not be destroyed as obscene shrines, and they can even learn poetry and books, and the government will not ban them."

"No matter how noble you are, except for following the law, your daily living customs will not change."

"And the county magistrate is appointed by the imperial court, but in the township, all the elders are used, the three elders will still be the three elders, and the lieutenant chief will still be the lieutenant chief."

As he spoke, the seals and ribbons in the village were brought up, and there were three elders, some of them were husbands, and those who were willing to come here were all appointed as officials—although most of them had been Qin officials in the past.

"I also hope that the monarchs can publicize the government of Xia Gong more, so that the Chu people can put aside their hostility, and let Chen Di restore peace as soon as possible!"

……

"Uncle Feng Lu, it took three years to report to the government, Zhou Gong said, why late? Uncle Bird said: 'Change its customs, change its etiquette, mourn for three years and then get rid of it, so it is too late.' ’“

"Taigong was sealed in Qi, and reported to the government of Zhou Gong in May. Zhou Gong said, what is the disease? Taigong said: 'I simplify the courtesy of the monarch and the ministers, and follow the customs. ’”

"When the Duke of Zhou and later heard that Bo Yu was late in reporting the government, he sighed and said: 'Woohoo, the north of Lu will be in the future! It is not easy for the husband to be simple, and the people are not close; Approachable to the people, the people will return. ’”

After listening to Uncle Sun Tong's return, Heifu smiled and said: "Qin Shi Huang chose Lu back then, but now, I have to choose Qi." “

Although, their original intention is the same: to make the world truly unified, not only administratively, but also culturally, and truly achieve the goal of "Kyushu is coherent, six contract winds"!

However, Qin Shi Huang took the form of issuing an administrative order, wanting to implement and establish a set of behavioral norms through strict laws and regulations to ban local culture......

It looks great, but wake up, this is China.

There is an intertwined network of relationships in the local area, and it is bound to be superficial to try to change the norms and customs that have been maintained for hundreds of years simply by law.

Therefore, compared with Qin Shi Huang, Heifu was more inclined to only use administrative orders and laws as backing and intimidation, and use cultural means to find solutions to problems: obey human nature, pass examinations and education, and give the scholars of the Six Kingdoms an ideological orientation to guide people to have a centripetal force on the imperial court.

These are the two different policies of the so-called "forbidden" and "the people obey".

Although in the process, Hefu had to delegate some power to the local area.

The game between the central and local governments will last forever, but when Qin Shi Huang was in the county, was the imperial power in the lower counties of the eastern part of the country?

Unfortunately, it didn't.

The First Emperor initially tried to relocate the Six Royal Families, but the local nobles immediately took over the place.

The first emperor continued to migrate, bringing 120,000 households into Guanxi, trying to break the local network, but soon the local light man took over.

Qin Shi Huang began to tighten the law and slaughter light heroes, but there were small nobles and scholars who mixed into the system to take over in the local area - in the original history, such as Xiao He, Cao Shen, and Liu Ji, these Qin officials, in the end, relied on the local power they controlled, and turned against Qin.

It's no longer a problem.

Otherwise, kill all the local scholars!

How about sending troops out, according to the list of local officials in the government and going from house to house?

But even if the entire Kanto region is not forced to rebel and the entire scholar class is successfully eliminated, the central government is faced with a new problem: who will govern the localities?

Relying on an airborne official who can't speak the local dialect and has a black eye?

By a bunch of illiterate farmers?

Or do you want to launch a slave to turn over and call the shots?

It is obviously unreliable, so the Qin government, which was originally good in Kansai, basically hit a full bag in all parts of Kanto, and what the Qin officials encountered was not an enemy regime that could be eliminated, but a local force that was as soft as water, firmly rooted, and could not be slaughtered.

It can't be destroyed, only cooperation.

There is no convenient way to transmit information, all of which hinders the communication between the central government and the grassroots, even if Qin Shi Huang cultivated the road wildly, it still formed a phenomenon of "imperial power does not go down to the county" in the eastern part of the country.

A series of functions such as household registration management, military service requisition, customs and education, tax collection, and township security must all be carried out without them.

"Paralyzed."

The imperial court wanted to completely control the place, but the Kanto region was too vast and the population was large, so even if the disciples of the Xianyang School were taken out to become officials, it would be a drop in the bucket.

Therefore, once the local "Qin officials" also rebelled against Qin, the Kanto region would collapse instantly, and a few county magistrates who had parachuted in the past could withstand it.

In those more than ten years of Qin Zheng's predicament in Kanto, Heifu saw it in his eyes and tried to find a solution.

He eventually found that there was no way to do it overnight, and he had to boil the frog in warm water.

"Qi Zheng first."

Rely on the centripetal force of at least one generation to make the people of the world identify with this country.

"Teach again."

By setting up a ladder for ranking, using official positions as bait, and luring scholars to learn Qin characters, Yayan, as well as the history and etiquette books published by the imperial court, the purpose of brainwashing is achieved - do you think that the imperial examination is just for the purpose of selecting talents?

Carry out unified education for a steady stream of local scholars who have joined the system, let them become "Qin officials", and then assign them to other places as officials, so as to help the central government gain the upper hand in the game with the localities.

Only in this way can little by little, in the vast Kanto, realize the imperial power under the county!

"I'm only thirty-seven this year."

"I am willing to do this in 20 years, in a generation!"

But first, he wants to end the war!

Heifu still wants to list Xiang Ji as the main culprit of the world, so that the Han people and Wei people hate him, and those Chu soldiers who insist on resisting Xiang Ji to the end will also completely annihilate them in the disaster war, leaving no future trouble!

But for those Chu people who are disillusioned with the new regime, Heifu will have to change his strategy.

"Xiang Ji abandoned his family and country, tyrannized the people, took the slaughter of the city as fun, and treacherously behaved in the world, so that the Central Plains was ruined, and the innocent people were smeared with liver and brain, and now the rest will be punished by heaven!"

Just like King Wu of Zhou preached, they were to punish the tyrannical King Xuan on behalf of the heavens, not to slaughter the Yin people.

Heifu also promised that this war was not a battle to exterminate the Chu people, but a battle to eliminate the mob.

"...... them from the slavery of thieves"

Heve uttered those two words:

"Liberate!"
