Chapter 33: Chen Ke's proposal, Fu Su's idea
After listening to Chen Ke's words, Fusu didn't say anything.
He actually agreed with his teacher's words: if the grass is cut without removing the root, it will grow again with the spring breeze.
Especially during these days, he felt that this sentence was quite right.
During this period of time, how many times did those nobles from the Six Kingdoms attack him, his father, and Da Qin?
He couldn't even remember it clearly.
But he understood that if it weren't for Chen Ke, any of these methods could make the Qin Dynasty irreversible.
Confucius said: Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you.
Or, as the saying goes: "How about repaying evil with kindness?" Confucius said: "How can we repay kindness? Repay evil with straightness, repay kindness with kindness."
Therefore, to deal with those nobles from the Six Kingdoms who are trying to overthrow the Qin Dynasty, we must do it unceremoniously, and we must eradicate them!
Only in this way can Great Qin be stabilized.
Today, Fusu has gradually learned to use his cruelty to some people in exchange for the peace of mind of the people in the world.
"Teacher, what are you going to do?"
Chen Ke leaned on the side of the pool with his back on his back, silently looking at the things outside the pool, and sighing quietly.
"How to do it?"
"The first step to be done now is to assign those students from Baijia Palace who have completed their studies to serve as officials in various places."
"According to their last ranking, from high to low."
"Now, Prime Minister Li is dividing the world into roughly thirteen to nineteen counties, each of which has six or seven counties."
"In this case, at least hundreds of officials will be needed."
"Of course, some original officials in various counties and counties can continue to serve, and of course they must continue to serve."
"There are not enough people in Baijia Palace now."
Chen Ke yawned: "It seems that we still need to take a test to see what their learning results are these days."
"It has been nearly two or three months. If there is no result, wouldn't it be a betrayal of His Majesty's trust?"
Fusu followed Chen Ke, silently mourning for the students from Baijia Palace.
Suddenly, Chen Ke seemed to have thought of something and asked.
"How is Hu Hai's schoolwork going?"
"But it's done?"
Fusu unconsciously felt a little guilty. He lowered his head and said, "Teacher, I have supervised a lot of Haidi's homework a few days ago, but it is not completed yet."
"He owes too much homework."
Chen Ke glanced at Fusu and said nothing, obviously hearing the guilt in Fusu's tone.
"What about your schoolwork?"
"But it's done?"
Fusu felt even more guilty when he heard this question.
Because he was lazy, he also had a lot of homework that he didn't finish, but he covered it up very well.
The last time Hu Hai received so much punishment was actually because he used Hu Hai as a shield.
Fortunately, he still writes a lot these days.
He immediately said: "I have basically finished my homework, but there are some places that are not very clear."
Speaking of this, Fusu's voice was filled with confusion.
"There are some things that I thought I knew, but when I wrote this, I realized that I still knew too little."
"Is this what the teacher said, the more you know, the less you feel you know?"
Chen Ke smiled and shook his head: "No."
"This illustrates another truth."
""What you see on paper is ultimately shallow, but you know you have to do it in detail."
Chen Ke casually said a verse that contained philosophy, and then continued: "In other words, practice is the only criterion for testing truth."
"This sentence is absolutely correct."
"You haven't practiced many things, so you think they are very simple, but in fact this matter is very difficult."
"Is there anything easy in the world?"
Chen Ke looked at Fusu and said, "Actually, the teacher has an idea, but he doesn't know whether to say it or not. He also feels that this matter is not realistic."
He said quietly: "If you can serve as a local official before becoming the second emperor, and become a county guard or county magistrate, it will be much easier for you to govern this country again."
"But this matter is very difficult and difficult to operate."
When Chen Ke said this, he felt that he had taken it for granted.
Fusu's identity is here after all.
Unless the world is stable, won't he become a living target if he serves as an official everywhere?
He immediately said with a smile: "You don't have to take these words to heart, I just said it casually."
Fusu fell into silence. He walked slowly behind Chen Ke and asked involuntarily: "Teacher, if it were you, where would you want to go?"
These words stirred up Chen Ke's thoughts.
Chen Ke looked into the distance silently, with a hint of silence in his tone.
"maybe."
He looked to the east, which was originally the territory of Qi State, but was now divided into three counties.
In fact, Chen Ke has been thinking about one thing.
He is now in the imperial court and an official in the capital, hanging high above.
This is very good, as you can get in touch with the emperor, and some of your suggestions can be quickly adopted by the emperor.
But, is this really good?
Chen Ke has been hesitating.
At this time, after being brought up by Fusu, he became even more hesitant.
After a moment, he shook his head and said nothing more.
He just said: "As a teacher, I have this idea to go to a place to display my talents."
"Let's take a look and see if I can lead Daqin to a better tomorrow if I am allowed to do what I do locally."
He said jokingly: "It's just that I also know that I don't have the ability to handle government affairs."
"If we really allow Master to take charge of one side, I'm afraid that place will soon be in chaos."
Chen Ke does not think highly of himself.
He has never even managed a small company with dozens of people, and now he is suddenly asked to manage a county?
joke.
He didn't think he could do it well once he got started.
Instead, it was Fusu. After hearing Chen Ke's words, he had a thoughtful look on his face and fell into silence.

Zhangtai Palace
After hearing what Dunruo said, Ying Zheng also looked thoughtful.
What Chen Ke said is actually not unreasonable.
Ying Zheng knew that his and Fusu's paths were not the same, and he also knew that he could not hope that Fusu would be able to govern the country well from the beginning.
Can......
If Chen Ke's method is followed, wouldn't that give Fusu a buffer period?
If this tradition can be continued, will future descendants also be able to be good emperors?
Ying Zheng was also thinking about this issue.

Prime Minister's Office
Li Si looked at the things in front of him, stroking his hands and laughing.
"Finally, the counties and counties have been completely divided!"
"I will present it to His Majesty tomorrow morning!"
