Chapter 2: Chen Ke has a long-term plan, the unpopular Wang Guan(1/2)
Opinion?
Who dares to have an opinion and who can have an opinion?
Why did Li Si propose the conquest of Baiyue at this time? Isn't it obvious?
Obviously the emperor wants to conquer Baiyue!
Furthermore, even if no emperor wants to conquer this matter, they still want to conquer Baiyue...
One is that there are so many people in the court who don’t have titles yet!
Between the two, whose family doesn’t have a few children who want to join the army and gain fame and titles?
Although the people standing in the court are not from a big family, they are also powerful men from the Qin State!
Based on the military achievements accumulated during the period of Duke Xiao and Shang Yang's reform, up to now, this group of people has occupied more than half of the court!
The law of Qin has something to say!
What should I do if I want a title?
Fight!
Use the enemy's head in exchange for military merit!
What should I do if I want land?
Fight!
Use the enemy's head in exchange for military merit!
If you want to get ahead, what should you do if you return home in fine clothes?
Fight!
Use the enemy's head in exchange for military merit!
To sum it up in one word.
kill!
If you want to live a better life, go to the battlefield and kill! Just exchange the enemy’s heads for them!
Never mind whose head it is.
As long as it belongs to the enemy, that's fine.
The six kingdoms, the Huns, and the Baiyue barbarians.
As long as they are the people pointed by the Qin Emperor's sword, their heads can be used in exchange for money, beauty, and land!
As long as they are willing to kill the enemy desperately on the battlefield, they can get everything they want!
Didn’t you see that General Wang Jian has made great military achievements and everyone still respects him?
Back then, on the battlefield, the emperor could even ask for money and beauties!
Don’t you see, those spelled out titles and lands are still passed down among the heirs?
These are all lives!
What the people of China love most is land!
Because they know that they rely on mountains, water and water, and only by relying on land can they continuously obtain money!
This heart will never change.
Ying Zheng looked around at the people in the audience. No one made a sound. He knew that everyone was looking forward to the war.
Da Qin is not actually a country, but an army disguised as a country!
This is the legacy of the military merit system!
Once the military merit system begins, it will never stop unless a better promotion channel is found!
When the military merit system stops, everything will collapse.
Qin Law will collapse!
When the laws of Qin collapsed, Great Qin collapsed.
This is exactly what Ying Zheng is worried about.
Why did Great Qin perish so quickly after Ying Zheng's death? So quickly?
Of course there was the tyranny of Hu Hai, and of course there were factors from the Six Kingdoms.
But what's the most important thing?
The world has been at peace for a long time, and there is no military merit system for promotion!
The promotion channels for people at the bottom have been blocked!
Only after the death of the First Emperor and the death of the god in the hearts of the people of Qin did they know.
It turns out that God can die too!
It turns out that God will never help them again!
So, under this situation, both the six countries and the people began to rebel.
Everyone is willing to rebel!
There is no way to survive!
Rise up.
Why was the Qin Dynasty able to survive for a period of time after the second emperor died and after Ziying came to the throne?
Because the military merit system has begun again!
There is military merit in suppressing rebels!
So why didn't it last too long?
Because the old Qin people are almost dead! And those new Six Kingdoms people have already found their past destination...
So, the Qin Dynasty died!
Chen Ke stood below, listening to the enthusiastic discussion about the Battle of Baiyue, and sighed slightly in his heart.
Da Qin must change the basic policy of building a country based on military merit!
In other words, it’s not called change.
It’s an increase!
Add new promotion channels.
For example, he is now vigorously developing the literary contest.
Is the literary contest a channel for promotion?
Of course it is.
Students who come out of the literary competition can at least serve as officials in counties.
Being a county magistrate is already an incredible journey.
What's more, can you continue to be promoted?
This is the way!
Even if the hope is slim, even if there are hundreds of places that are fought for from all over the country, even if there are only a few hundred people among tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions of people.
The probability of one in ten thousand is also a probability!
As long as there is hope, there will be no despair.
Chen Ke sat there, thinking carefully in his heart.
After the literary competition is slowly promoted, officials from various counties and counties can slowly make arrangements.
The county magistrates and county guards who came out of the Baijia Palace have been successfully educated and will obey the Qin Dynasty and the orders of His Majesty the First Emperor.
At that time, they can continue to open Baijia Palace in the local area.
From the beginning, every county had a hundred palaces, then every county had a hundred palaces, and in the most perfect state, every town, every village had a hundred palaces!
Of course, the Baijia Palace in towns and villages is simple and simplified in form.
It is equivalent to the original elementary school and junior high school.
After two or three years of paving the way for hundreds of palaces, books, and culture, it was time to launch the imperial examination system.
As for why not launch it now?
Because there are not that many people who are literate! There are not that many people who read!
In troubled times, the most valuable thing is the scholar, and the least valuable thing is the scholar!
There are not that many people who can support a few scholars...
Especially when paper and printing were not widely available, reading was very difficult.
To be continued...
