Li Si looked up with a firm gaze.
He was a staunch supporter of Legalism!
He was extremely respectful towards the former Shang Lord.
In his opinion, the Qin country was a powerful country with laws.
In that case, the methods of the ancestors must not be changed!
Shang Jun advocated that the weak people, stupid people, tired people, so as to strengthen the country.
Qin Fa advocated disaster control and not disaster relief, in order to prevent people from reaping without sowing.
Old Qin did not mind. Instead, he was proud of it.
There was a proverb in Qin Chuan: Disaster relief flattery, accept life scattered.
Moreover, disaster relief was not necessarily a good thing.
Later generations loved disaster relief, directly transferring grain and silver from the national treasury to the victims of the disaster area. The emperor would even announce the exemption of taxes for several years in the disaster area.
As a result, corruption was rampant in the area of disaster relief. Disaster relief became a lucrative job, and all the ministers were willing to go to disaster relief. Apart from natural disasters, the people also had to face man-made disasters.
It was also because of this that there was an endless debate about this matter in the court.
Li Si insisted on ruling the country by law. The laws of the ancestors could not be changed!
Right Prime Minister Feng Quji felt that he should consider the actual situation and open the granary to provide disaster relief!
Also, don't think that Li Si's tone was too much.
The current situation was different from the future, where the status of the ministers was rather high.
For example, in court, the emperor sat, and so did the ministers.
As the dynasties changed, the status of the ministers became lower and lower. In a certain court, not only did he have to kneel in court, but he also had to call himself a servant. It was simply disgusting!
The court was very free, and the courtiers could express their opinions.
There were even people who directly rebuked Qin Shihuang.
However, Qin Shihuang had never been angry because of this.
……
Zhao Che shook his head.
Li Si was just too old-fashioned!
For the sake of power, he would do anything.
He followed the ancient method to defend his position.
In the past, he came to the Qin country from the Chu country in order to soar.
Later, he poisoned Han Fei because Han Fei would threaten him.
Later on, he would tamper with the posthumous edict for the sake of power.
One had to know that time had changed, and one could not blindly follow the ancient method!
Qin Shihuang was stunned once again as he sized up Zhao Che with a strange expression.
Could it be that…he could hear Zhao Che's thoughts?
After the Pilgrimage, there would still be such a blessing?
However, Qin Shi Huang did not think too much about it.
"Prime Minister, have you ever heard of the story of the Chu people begging for a sword? A man of the State of Chu crossed the river by boat with a sword in his hand. The sword fell into the water from the boat and was immediately tied to the boat. The boat has sailed, but the sword has not. Isn't it confusing to look for a sword like this?”
Li Si's face turned pale.
This story came from the << Lü's Spring and Autumn Annals >>!
It was written by the former Prime Minister Lu Buwei, and Li Si also participated in the writing.
He naturally knew the story of carving a boat for a sword.
Ever since Lu Buwei was executed, this book had become a taboo.
Hearing Qin Shihuang mention it again, he felt a little uneasy.
F * ck?
Zhao Che was a little dumbfounded.
Qin Shihuang was awesome!
He even knew how to use the story of carving a boat for a sword to refute Li Si!
"In the past, the Qin Country was sparsely populated and the land was barren.”
"Today, I have swept through the six countries and unified the Xia!”
"The country has doubled, and the people have 30 million!”
"If Great Qin continues to follow the old rules, it is no different from waiting for death!”
Qin Shihuang's words made Zhao Che's blood boil.
Wouldn't he like it?
Why don't you vote for the flowers?
Zhao Che narrowed his eyes and stood at the side.
It would be perfect if he could also use work as a form of relief.
In fact, some people had suggested using work as a form of relief.
"Yanzi Spring and Autumn Annals" records: Qi famine Yanzi because of the road sleep service to relieve the people.
What?
Who did Qin Shihuang need?
With just this sentence, he suddenly became enlightened!
He naturally knew of Yan Ying's great name, but he had never considered this aspect.
Hearing Zhao Che mention it, he instantly understood.
"In addition, what Zhen said about disaster relief is different from what the Prime Minister thought. Prime Minister, have you read Yanzi's Spring and Autumn Annals?”
"Of course I have."
Li Si nodded.
Although he was a Legalist, he had learned from Xun Zi.
He was smart and studious since childhood and read a lot of poetry and books.
He had naturally read Yanzi's Spring and Autumn Annals.
"Then, does Prime Minister know that Yan Zi of Qi used the war on the road to relieve the people?”
What the f * ck?
Zhao Che's eyes widened.
Good heavens, Qin Shihuang was thinking the same thing as him!
The One Emperor of the Ages was the One Emperor of the Ages!
He actually thought of a work-for-relief method?!
