Chapter 89 Behind the Reform

Xiao He took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with wisdom.

"Sir, we can start with some less sensitive positions as a pilot and gradually expand the scope of the imperial examination."

"At the same time, we must also strengthen publicity to let more people understand the benefits of the imperial examination and reduce their resistance."

After Fusu heard this, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes:

"Good idea! This will not only reduce resistance, but also win more support for the imperial examination system."

"But we must ensure that the pilot is successful so that everyone can see the superiority of the imperial examination system."

Xiao He nodded: "Don't worry, sir, I will take care of this matter personally."

"At the same time, I will secretly observe those who may oppose us and prepare in advance."

In the study, Xiao He's expression was somewhat solemn. He looked at Fusu and spoke slowly.

"Sir, speaking of Shang Yang's reforms, the tragic end of them is truly a cause for regret."

"Although he made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty, he ended up dying and his clan was destroyed."

"Of course, this was due to his stubborn character, but more importantly, it was because the reforms affected the interests of too many people."

Fusu nodded slightly, a hint of deep thought flashing in his eyes.

“You are right, Shang Yang’s end is indeed regrettable.

But have you ever thought about why his reforms were successful but ended up like this? "

Xiao He frowned and shook his head: "Although I know there must be a reason, I can't explain it clearly."

Fusu smiled and explained, "Shang Yang's reforms have indeed brought unprecedented prosperity to the Qin State."

"But his success was also inseparable from the full support of Qin Xiaogong."

"However, when Qin Xiaogong died, the new king took the throne and began to question and resist Shang Yang's reforms."

"In addition, Shang Yang himself offended many people during the reform process, which ultimately led to his tragedy."

After hearing this, Xiao He's eyes flashed with enlightenment: "Sir, you are absolutely right. I have never thought of this."

Fusu continued: "However, the situation we face today is very different from that of Shang Yang's time."

"We have more advanced ideas and richer experience."

"As long as we can act prudently and unite all the forces that can be united, I believe our reforms will succeed."

Xiao He was deeply moved by Fusu's words. He opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something.

But in the end I chose to remain silent and listen quietly.

Fusu looked at Xiao He, his eyes flashing with expectation and determination for the future, and he continued.

"Xiao He, do you know that my father, the King of Qin, was not only great because he unified the six kingdoms and established the foundation of the Qin Dynasty?"

"His wisdom and foresight are beyond the reach of our descendants."

Xiao He nodded in agreement: "My Lord, you are right. The great deeds of the King of Qin are indeed admirable."

Fusu smiled slightly and continued, "However, this great cause cannot be accomplished overnight, nor can it be accomplished once and for all."

"In the process of unifying the world, the King of Qin carried out a series of reforms, such as the implementation of the county system, the standardization of weights and measures, and the writing system."

"These measures have laid the foundation for the future of Qin."

Xiao He nodded in agreement. He understood Fusu's meaning. These reforms did play a crucial role in the development of Qin.

Fusu changed the subject and his tone became serious: "But, Xiao He, do you know the meaning behind these reforms?"

"Why did the King of Qin make these reforms? Was it just to make management easier?"
