Jiang Chen hadn't expected this.
Fu Su actually believed in him so much?
However, why did he feel that what Jiang shi said was right?
Was there a hint of mockery?
He sized up Fu Su, who had a determined look on his face.
He thought about it.
This stupid pedantic scholar shouldn't be that bad, right?
He should be thinking too much.
Moreover, Fu Su's actions next…
It also proved that Jiang Chen had been overthinking!
After stopping Meng Yi.
Fu Su cupped his hands toward Jiang Chen and said,"
"Teacher Jiang, please guide this student. What is the main point of the reform of the Duke of Shang?”
Seeing this, Meng Yi wanted to say something but hesitated.
However, he recalled what Jiang Chen had said and done in the past.
Meng Yi decided to take a look first.
After all, everything Jiang Chen had said before was true.
In the end, they were all proven to be correct.
This was also why the Eldest Young Master trusted him so much.
What if what Jiang Chen had said was right?
"You don't have to say it. I'll tell you too.”
This was what Jiang Chen said to Fu Su's request.
Actually, he was still a little happy.
After all, that teacher didn't want him to be respected by his students.
"Why did I say that you were too superficial?”
"That's because I could clearly hear from your words just now that you know how it is, but you don't know why.”
"Duke Shang's reform happened twice.”
"But in reality, it should be three times.”
"The first time was also the prologue to the reform. Duke Xiao ordered Duke Shang to issue the 'Reclamation Order' in Qin.”
"Do you know what the Grassland Reclamation Order is?"
Facing Jiang Chen's question, both Fu Su and Meng Yi felt embarrassed.
Shaking their heads, they all expressed that they did not know.
This was actually very normal.
After all, it had been more than a hundred years since the reform of the Duke of Shang.
Moreover, because it touched the interests of the entire imperial clan and nobles of the Qin country.
After the death of Duke Xiao of Qin, Duke Shang had lost his backer.
King Huiwen of Qin was under the pressure of the royal family.
He could only order the arrest of Shang Gong.
The Duke of Shang ended up in a car wreck.
However, the reform did not stop there.
The First Emperor had fought for six generations, and all of the previous kings of the Qin country were heroes with great talent and strategy.
King Huiwen of Qin was forced by the pressure of the royal family to kill the Duke of Shang.
However, this did not mean that King Huiwen believed that the Duke of Shang was guilty or that his reform was wrong.
He knew very well that the Duke of Shang was not guilty. His crime was that the reform he presided over touched the interests of the imperial clan and nobles.
The reform could really make the Qin country stronger day by day.
Therefore, even if the later imperial clan nobles wanted to stop the reform process, even if they gave Qin Huiwen King great pressure.
King Huiwen of Qin still endured the pressure and continued the reform.
However, the entire Qin Imperial Clan and aristocrats hated the Duke of Shang and his reform from the bottom of their hearts.
Therefore, they intentionally covered it up and smeared the name of the Duke of Shang.
At the same time, it also led to some specific matters regarding the reform after more than a hundred years.
Even Fu Su, the eldest son of Great Qin, did not know everything.
Even First Emperor Ying Zheng, who was in the secret room next door, was shocked.
He didn't know much.
Of course, he knew about the Grassland Reclamation Order.
As for the other details, he really didn't know.
Therefore, Ying Zheng was also looking forward to Jiang Chen's explanation of the details of the reform of the Duke of Shang, which had been unknown to the public for a long time.
...
Fu Su and Meng Yi shook their heads in confusion.
Jiang Chen didn't keep her in suspense.
He directly said,
"The Reclamation Order is the prelude to the full implementation of Duke Shang's reform in Qin.”
"Its main content is:
Stimulate domestic agricultural production, restrain the development of domestic commerce; He wanted to rebuild the values of the people in the country and let everyone understand how important agriculture was to the country.
Weakening some of the inappropriate and harmful privileges of the imperial clan, nobles, and officials in the country, and also allowing them to participate in agricultural production.
At the same time, implement a unified tax system and other reform strategies.”
"Although it's just a general idea, you should understand, right?”
However, Jiang Chen had neglected the fact that people's horizons and understanding were vastly different in different times.
Fu Su and Meng Yi felt dizzy after hearing his words.
Understand?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Even the First Emperor of Great Qin, who had unified the world in the secret room next door, was only confused by what he heard.
Jiang Chen saw the two silly pigs opposite him looking confused.
He could not help but sigh.
"Forget it, that's all for now."
"Next, I will talk about the two reforms after the implementation of the order.”
"Listen carefully. After combining the top and bottom, you should be able to comprehend something.”
Fu Su quickly lowered his head and cupped his hands in shame.
Meng Yi was so stubborn, how could he lower his head in shame?
I could only brace myself and look at the stone wall on top of the cell, pretending that I didn't know anything and didn't hear anything.
Jiang Chen didn't care at all.
Anyway, the main reason why he was teaching was because of Fu Su.
"After the full implementation of the Reclamation Order in the Qin country.”
"Then, the second reform came.”
"The reform consists of the following points:
1. Promulgate and implement the Law Classic written by Li Kui of Wei State, adding the law of joint punishment and implementing heavy punishment for minor crimes.
Second, abolish the old system of hereditary titles and salaries, reward military merits, prohibit private fights, and issue a system of twenty ranks of nobility based on military merits. This would open up the promotion channel to the bottom level of the Qin country's people, arousing the enthusiasm of the people to join the army and fight for the country.
Third, to place emphasis on agriculture and suppress commerce, to reward farming and weaving, especially to reward the people to reclaim their own wasteland; It stipulated that the people who produced more food and cloth could be exempted from labor and taxes. Agriculture was the country's primary industry, and commerce was the country's last industry. It also restricted the scope of business and imposed heavy commercial taxes.
These measures were to prevent the people in the country from running away to do business because of the huge profits of business.
Although commerce could make the domestic economy prosper, if the people ran off to do business, where would the food come from?
If he bought it from other countries, what if the other countries refused to sell it or sold it at a high price during an emergency?
Food was the foundation of survival, and it could not be controlled by other countries.
Therefore, agriculture should be the foundation of the country!
Fourth, burn the Confucian classics and prohibit the people from being officials.”
Jiang Chen paused for a moment.
He paid special attention to Fu Su's expression.
Fortunately, Jiang Chen had been teaching her these days.
Fu Su was no longer the rotten scholar who advocated the Confucian teachings of Confucius and Mencius and spoke of benevolence, righteousness, and morality.
Even when he heard his teacher say that the reform of the Duke of Shang had burned the Confucian classics.
Fu Su did not have any reaction.
Of course, it was inevitable that he was a little surprised.
But he didn't say that Duke Shang's action was a mistake, a grave mistake.
This was already very rare.
" Why did the Duke of Shang burn the Confucian classics?" Jiang Chen continued.”
"The reason for this is because the Confucian classics blindly teach people to be benevolent.”
"If it was in a peaceful and prosperous world, it would be fine.”
"However, the Qin Country at that time was in the era of the seven kingdoms in the Warring States Period.”
"Benevolence? No one will talk to you about benevolence."
"The more merciful you appear, the more others will think you are weak.”
"The strength of the fist is the absolute truth!”
"Thus, the Confucian classics of that time were completely out of date.”
"The intention of the reform of Duke of Shang was to make the Qin country the strongest country among the seven countries.”
"Naturally, this also includes the strength of the military.”
"This is also why the previous reform wanted to abolish the old system of hereditary officials and implement a reward system of 20 ranks for military merit to encourage the people to join the army.”
"As for the ban on wandering officials, the reason is very simple.”
"If the Qin country wants to become strong, it doesn't need those wandering officials who only know how to talk big and pursue fame and fortune.”
After listening to Jiang Chen's explanation, the surprised look on Fu Su's face disappeared.
As if he had understood something, he knelt on the spot and nodded.
"Fifth, forcefully implement the family division system for adult men in the Qin country, which is the individual small family system.
Actually, the reason for this move was very simple.
It was to prevent the local big families from expanding and affecting the governance of the local officials.”
"These five points are the contents of the second reform.”
"Is there anything you don't understand?”
