"Little scholar, think carefully about what policies Qin Xian Gong implemented during his reign.”
Yin Shang raised his wine cup and took a sip.
In life.
There was wine, meat, and a junior to teach…It was a perfect retirement life!
Hearing this, Fu Su immediately explained seriously,""Master, Xian Gong first abolished the system of human sacrifice, which reduced the number of undeserved sacrifices in the Qin country.”
"Later on, Duke Xian also established a commercial market and reformed the slavery system. At the same time, he took measures such as compiling household registration and initially promoting the county system. Including the administrative system, Xian Gong had also made some changes.”
"We also attacked the slave owners and aristocrats, weakening the slavery system, and changing the situation of our Great Qin Kingdom's weak soldiers and weak ruler!”
"Finally, he actively prepared for the Eastern Expedition. He fought many wars with Wei, Korea, and Zhao in the Central Plains and won some victories.”
"Especially after winning the Battle of Stone Gate, he received the congratulations of the Emperor of Zhou and the gifts of the six kings. I'm offering you the title of Earl."
……
Fu Su was a standard liberal arts student, so reciting the achievements of his predecessors was like a book to him.
Under such comparison.
The difference between Duke Xian of Qin and King Sheng of Chu was obvious!
In other words, before the reform of the Chu and Qin countries, the foundation of the national conditions created by the previous rulers was completely different.
King Chu Sheng had left a complete mess for King Chu Dao.
The State of Qin that Duke Xian of Qin had left behind for Duke Xiao of Qin had its own problems.
But overall, the ruling and opposition of the Qin country at that time was really new.
After all, the emperor was congratulating him from afar, and the six kings were offering gifts to him.
"The system that Xian Gong implemented, you have described it in detail.”
Yin Shang took a bite of the roasted game and said,""But you, little scholar, have missed the most important point. Suppressing the power of the slave owners and aristocrats and weakening the slavery system could not be said to have completely changed the fundamental policy of the Great Qin State, which was that the soldiers were weak and the monarch was weak! Think carefully again, which one did you forget…"
" Master, I…I…"
Fu Su's heart was filled with anxiety when he heard Duke Yin's question.
It was very easy for a young man to do this when he was nervous. When his mind went blank, he really couldn't remember anything.
"Drink some wine. There's no hurry."
Yin Shang was calm and collected. He had plenty of time anyway, so he let the little scholar think about it slowly.
Finally.
The young man stood up and said excitedly,""Teacher, I just remembered…Xian Gong is also urging for the capital to be moved!”
"Hahaha! Don't be agitated. Sit down, sit down."
Yin Shang waved his hand and said,""Correct answer. This old man will personally pour you a cup.”
After saying that.
Yin Shang lifted the wine pot and filled the wine cup in front of Fu Su.
This caused the young Fu Su to feel a sense of fear, but also a sense of accomplishment.
Immediately after.
The old and the young clinked their glasses.
After drinking it all.
"Move the capital!" Yin Shangcai said slowly. This was the most important thing that Xian Gong had done during his reign. If Duke Xian hadn't changed Yong City into Yueyang, even if Duke Xiao and Shang Yang had succeeded in their reform, King Huiwen wouldn't have been able to consolidate the results of the reform when he first took the throne!”
Move the capital!
It wasn't just the literal meaning of moving the capital to another place!
In ancient times, it was not only land that bound farmers.
In the territory that the nobles had been managing for nearly a hundred years, they were the lords of a hundred miles. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were the local emperors!
Therefore!
When Duke Xian of Qin moved the capital, the foundations of the aristocratic factions and the old clans in Guanzhong were shaken!
Just like the Ming Dynasty's Zhu Di.
Zhu Di moved the capital of Ming Dynasty from Nanjing to Beijing!
The first meaning was that the Son of Heaven guarded the country gate!
Moreover, as the capital of the Ming Dynasty, Beijing meant that the political, economic, and cultural center would move closer to the north, including the rapid recovery and increase of the northern population.
At the same time, the factions of generals and nobles would have more authority in the north.
Because Jiangnan was the territory of the civil officials.
After the capital is moved.
The foundation of the civil officials and scholar-bureaucrats would be shaken.
Unfortunately…
The battle at the Earth Wood Fortress.
The accumulation of the three generations of heroes of the Ming Dynasty was completely buried, and the civil officials in the middle and late Ming Dynasty quickly became stunned again.
Back to the main topic.
The later Ming Chengzu moving the capital had many similarities with the Qin Xian Gong moving the capital.
The most obvious effect of Xian Gong moving the capital was: It effectively suppressed the aristocratic factions and old clans in Guanzhong.
This allowed Duke Xiao of Qin and Shang Yang to have the foundation for reform.
This included the fact that King Huiwen was able to consolidate the achievements of the Shang Emperor's reform in the early days of the new emperor's reign. All of this was due to Qin Xian Gong's move of the capital!
"Therefore! From Xian Gong's policy of moving the capital, we can find a way to solve the problem of the scholar-officials in the Central Plains!”
" That is to say, we will adopt the Maoling system. We will move all the representative families of the scholars and ministers of the Central Plains to the Maoling area in Guanzhong." Yin Shang said with a rare serious expression. At that time, they would leave the territory that they had been operating for nearly a hundred years. No matter how rich they were, they would not be able to cause any waves!”
Fu Su was speechless.
The First Emperor Ying Zheng was speechless.
