Ying Chen quickly lifted Li Si up.""There's no need for that. Minister Li, you flatter me!"
Hearing that, Li Si followed Ying Chen's force and slowly stood up.""Then, Your Highness, how do you think we should govern the people?”
Ying Chen smiled again when he heard this." Minister Li, all the officials in the court, even Father, you have underestimated the power of the people."”
"The people are like water, and Great Qin is like a boat. It can also overturn the boat!"
Li Si was shocked again!
How could Li Si not be familiar with this sentence!
This was what his master, the Confucian expert of Heaven and Man, Xun Zi, had said in Xun Zi, Duke Ai.(Later, this sentence was thought to have been said by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Er.)
However, if Li Si wanted to integrate into Great Qin, he had to abandon these ideas that were not in line with the Legalism of that time.
Thus, Li Si had always been walking on one leg.
He had never truly used the Confucian knowledge he had learned from Xun Zi.
At that moment, Li Si suddenly understood the Crown Prince's intentions.
As long as he could use them, whether it was Legalism or Confucianism, or even Mohism or farming, he could use them all!
Li Si suddenly realized that the world had welcomed a ruler who could truly unify the world!
If it was said that Ying Zheng had unified the world in terms of land, characters, weights and measures, and currency, then the world would be unified.
In that case, the future Crown Prince would definitely be able to unify the world from the perspective of human hearts and values!
At that time, the entire Huaxia would become the absolute mainstream!
This was a great merit!
Among them, as the one who had participated in the great cause of Ying Zheng's unification of the world, and later participated in the great cause of Ying Chen's unification of the Huaxia civilization, he would certainly become the Prime Minister who had made the greatest contribution since ancient times!
Thinking of this, Li Si's gaze towards Ying Chen became extremely passionate!
If Li Si had supported Ying Chen previously, it was for the sake of his legalism and to ensure the wealth of his family.
Now, Li Si's view of Ying Chen had become a kind of expectation!
A hope that would leave his name in history and shine for thousands of years!
This kind of expectation was enough to make Li Si become Ying Chen's loyal follower!
From this moment on, as long as Ying Chen didn't want to rebel or kill him, Li Si would unconditionally agree with Ying Chen's every opinion.
Just like how he had behaved in front of Ying Zheng earlier!
Li Si would never say such things out loud, but in the future, these things would definitely be reflected in his every action.
On the other side, Li Si's thoughts were running wild. Ying Chen continued,""Lord Shang's so-called Five Techniques of Controlling the People is just to make the people confused. It's just a stupid technique."
"But he doesn't understand. The people may follow blindly, but they are never fools!”
"Perhaps you will be stunned for a short period of time, but you won't be able to fool me for a long time.”
"To put it simply, even a cat or dog will cry out in pain when kicked, let alone people from the Myriad Sect.”
"When it comes to benefits, no one is a fool!”
Li Si nodded lightly.
"Therefore, what we do must make the people understand that what we do is for them.”
"Under such circumstances, it is often better to open up the wisdom of the people than to fool them.”
"We must understand that if we can fool the people, then our enemies can also fool them.”
When Li Si heard this, he was still a little hesitant.""What if one day, the commoners can't take it anymore and choose to rebel?”
Li Si asked boldly.
Of course, Li Si was also certain that the Crown Prince did not mind such explicit and bold words.
If it were Ying Zheng, even if Li Si had ten thousand guts, he would not dare to say such words.
Ying Chen did not get angry after hearing Li Si's words. Instead, he laughed."In this world, there is no eternal protagonist, nor is there an eternal dynasty!”
"When the servants are dissatisfied with Great Qin, it will be the end of Great Qin.”
Immediately after, Ying Chen's tone changed,"Here, there's a question of who the ruler will share the world with."”
"During the Xia and Shang dynasties, the ruler shared the world with the slave owners.”
"During the eight hundred years of the Western Zhou, Spring, Autumn, and Warring States Period, kings, dukes, and scholar-bureaucrats shared the world.”
"Now, the question is, with whom will Great Qin share the world?”
"It's with the Ying Qin Imperial Clan? Or with those nobles, or just the old Qin people?”
Li Si did not answer Ying Chen's question!
He did not dare to answer!
This was because the question of Ying Chen was also a question that countless rulers of the dynasties had been thinking about!
The Han Dynasty shared the world with the kings and meritorious officials.
The Tang Dynasty shared the world with the great clans!
Song and Ming shared the world with scholar-bureaucrats!
Li Si did not dare to answer this question even when facing the usually magnanimous Ying Chen.
This was not something he should think about as an official.
Ying Chen stopped and changed the topic,"Today, we just happened to be talking about the advanced techniques of Great Qin. I want to go to the Shao Fu to take a look.”
Li Si heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Ying Chen's words!
Talking to the Crown Prince in front of him was really too scary.
He really dared to say anything.
Seeing Ying Chen change the topic, Li Si quickly said,""Then this lowly official will bring Your Highness to the Shao Mansion to take a look.”
Then, Li Si brought Ying Chen to the prison.
When Ying Chen and Li Si arrived at the General Supervisor, they realized that the General Supervisor was not in Xiangyang City. Moreover, it was really big.
It occupied more than a few thousand acres of land. Looking from afar, there were at least tens of thousands of craftsmen inside!
When Ying Chen followed Li Si to the entrance of the General Supervisor's office, he saw dozens of Great Qin's elite soldiers standing guard outside!
"Halt!"
When the station chief (in charge of 50 people) saw Li Si and Ying Chen, he knew that they were not simple people from their clothes, but he did not let his guard down!
In response, Li Si took out a golden seal with a purple ribbon from his waist and handed it over!
Instantly, the station chief became extremely respectful!
The purple ribbon and golden seal were specially used by the Prime Minister!
In other words, the person in front of him was the Prime Minister of Great Qin!
