Da Qin: Old Zhao, I am really not a fairy

Page 169

As for what skills the children want to learn in the future, they can all depend on themselves. As for what school of knowledge to learn, they can go to the Daqin Academy in Lishan to continue their studies.

At this time, Kong Yu said, "Academic institutions should spread knowledge for the people, why do you have to study legalists?"

Kong Yu replaced Qin Law with Legalism, and the purpose of knowledge was to extend the debate between the two schools of thought.

"The people of Daqin let the children come to study in the school, why?" Zhao Sheng asked Kong Yu back.

When the crown prince questioned him unpreparedly, Kong Yu paused and said, "Of course it is for children to learn knowledge!"

"No, the common people naturally want their children to become dragons, and they want to change the farming foundation of the three generations of ancestors!" Zhao Sheng retorted loudly.

Looking forward to a child becoming a dragon, it has been the same throughout the ages.

In this world, there are even more parents who send their children to prestigious schools.

Is it just for learning knowledge?

It is to hope that the child will become a dragon, and to hope that the child will learn knowledge and make a difference.

There was a cunning flash in Kong Yu's eyes, and he didn't have the slightest intention of belittling the prince, and continued to say, "Since you want your son to become a dragon, you don't want to force yourself to learn Legalism!"

At this moment, Zhao Sheng couldn't help chuckling.

This scene made many Lu scholars feel slighted.

This prince disrespects Confucian scholars.

And Zhao Sheng just felt like he heard a joke, and said loudly, "Mr. Kong, did you know about the imperial examination? Qin Fa is a compulsory subject. If the common people don't learn this Qin Fa, they may not be able to pass the imperial examination no matter how powerful they are." high school!"

"The common people learn Qin law, study and study, and the high school imperial examination in the future, wouldn't it be wonderful!"

"Cai!" The people applauded one after another.

Just now, even the people who are outsiders understand the deep meaning of Zhao Sheng's words, it is for the people of Daqin to take the imperial examination in the future!

Hearing the cheers from the people, Shu Suntong finally understood why Zhao Sheng asked him to call the people and scholars in advance.

It turned out to be something like this.

Instead, the Confucian scholars in Ludi, headed by Kong Yu, did not expect to step into the trap set by Zhao Sheng.

The scholars headed by Shu Suntong all cast admiring glances at Zhao Sheng.

On the other hand, the Confucian scholars in Ludi all showed panic, thinking in their minds, what kind of sage words would they have to refute Zhao Sheng.

Since Li Si arrived at the scene, he naturally couldn't just sit and be a mascot.

At this moment, Li Si got up and said to the Confucian scholars in Ludi who were present, "Human nature is evil, and because human nature is evil, there are laws. Only people in the world have good interests, and only then do they compete for finances, land, and disputes. Greed arises from the heart. Only thieves and thieves can make huge profits and kill. Only when the heart is lustful can there be rape and plunder.

It is precisely because of this that the rule of law is needed, and human nature can be corrected by law, so that human nature can be good and orderly! "

Without legal boundaries, people will break the law recklessly.

Human desires are unlimited.

"Mengfuzi once said that at the beginning of human beings, nature is good, and Confucianism should be popularized all over the world, so that the Great Qin Dynasty will be a world of benevolence, righteousness, friendship and love!"

"The Confucian sage Xunzi once said that human nature is inherently evil."

Zhao Sheng continued to add, "There is no rule of law, the country will be in chaos, and the outcome of the Zhou and Qin changes, don't you think about it?"

The change of Zhou Qin is an example.

Zhou Tianzi ruled the world with Confucianism.

Confucianism supported enfeoffment, and Zhou Tianzi enfeoffed multiple princes, which evolved into the Spring and Autumn and Warring States.

The Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period had constant disputes.

Let me ask, can Confucianism stop it?

The king of Shang reformed the law, and the state of Qin became stronger and stronger.

With such a clear example, isn't it easy to show that Legalism is more suitable for governing the country?

The Qin law is strict, and if it can be improved many times, it will definitely be improved into a real good policy for governing the country.

"May I ask His Royal Highness, Qin Law is strict, is this the way His Royal Highness governs the world?" Kong Yu's eyes were piercing, and he looked at Zhao Sheng like a torch.

"Although the Qin law is strict, the six countries have just been unified, and the people of the Great Qin must be restrained by the strict Qin law!" Zhao Sheng paused, and continued to mutter, "The Qin law is also undergoing continuous improvement, following the principles of the Warring States period. The Qin Law, and the Qin Law that is peacefully unified today, should be revised."

Kong Yu's eyes lit up slightly, as if he heard the answer he wanted, "Now that the world is peaceful and prosperous, why not implement benevolent government?"

"Do you know why the students in the academy are allowed to learn Qin law? It is to let people know the law, so that it can be used to protect the people. There are laws to follow and laws to find."

Kong Yu seemed to want to speak again, "The sage once..."

Zhao Sheng felt a headache when he heard Kong Yu mentioning the saint, and interrupted him quickly, "Although the Qin law is strict, it is improving, and the Great Qin has millions of corvee workers, and they are constantly being sent back!"

Hearing that it was about corvee, some people among the people asked Zhao Sheng, "But the corvee has been cancelled?"

This is a blessing for the common people.

Zhao Sheng said loudly to the people, "Daqin will abolish corvee from now on!"

Chapter 131 Hujiba's Change

"His Royal Highness is benevolent!"

"His Royal Highness, Shengming!"

Words like these kept ringing out among the people.

Kong Yu seemed a little reconciled in his heart, but he had to admit that the Legalist school where the crown prince is now is even more popular with the people.

It can also be said that the prince is more admired by the people than Lu Ru.

The Confucian scholar from Ludi once again said, "The heavy taxes of the Great Qin are so heavy that the people can't hold their heads up. I don't know how His Royal Highness thinks about the heavy taxes?"

I saw that Zhao Sheng murmured to the Confucian scholars in Ludi, "The taxation of the Great Qin Dynasty is heavy, but the latest revision of the taxation is also constantly being polished and scrutinized. Given time, it will be released!"

This is not what Zhao Sheng said.

But personally ordered Xiao He to develop a new tax.

It's just that it hasn't been invested in it yet.

Seeing Zhao Sheng said so calmly, I am afraid that revising taxes has long been in Zhao Sheng's plan.
