Traveling through the Qin Dynasty, I seized the throne of Ying Zheng's father

"this....."

It took a long time for Li Si and the officials to accept the reality...

"Prime Minister Li, with these two things, my plan to send 600,000 laborers to farm the land should be no problem, right?"

"this......"

Li Si thought carefully, then frowned again...

"My Lord, six hundred thousand people came to Xianyang to farm at the same time. With so many people gathered in one place, I am afraid there will be chaos. If we cannot discipline them well and waste the farming, wouldn't that be a loss?"

Li Si said after careful consideration.

Theoretically, there is nothing wrong with Fusu's suggestion, but in practice it will encounter many problems.

The first problem we have to face is the management of these corvee labor.

People are not cold numbers, but living beings. It is not easy to get them to work hard. And when there are too many people, it is difficult to manage them. This is another big problem in management....

All the officials looked at Fusu...

At this time, Fusu smiled...

Seeing Fusu smile, everyone's heart skipped a beat, and a bold idea suddenly appeared in their minds...

Could it be... could it be that... the eldest master... had already expected this?

Just as this thought came to mind, Fusu's voice rang out...

"Hahahaha, Prime Minister Li is worthy of being Prime Minister Li. What he is thinking about is all on point. I was just about to say that I have an idea about this management method!"

"Oh? I wonder what the eldest son should think about this?"

Li Si looked at Fusu with interest.

From the initial contempt to the current desire, Li Si's attitude towards Fusu has undergone a drastic change...

The reason for this is very simple, that is, he has been completely convinced and convinced by the eldest son of the Qin Dynasty who has just taken power and is regent!

All the officials also looked at Fusu...

Just now, everyone thought about it carefully, but they couldn't think of any solution. When Fusu confidently said that there was a solution, everyone was stunned and curious...

Fusu smiled slightly.

"Do you know how the Qin Empire rules the world?"

When Fusu asked this, everyone was stunned...

How does the Qin Dynasty rule the world?

Who doesn’t know this?

I am an official of the Qin Dynasty. I come into contact with the Qin Dynasty's system every day. I am so familiar with it!

But what does this have to do with managing 600,000 people?

The officials were still confused, but Li Si seemed to be thinking about something...

Fusu paused and continued, "The Qin Dynasty has used semi-military control since Shang Yang. The Qin Dynasty used this method to rule the world. I, Fusu, will use this method to manage the mere 600,000 corvées. What's wrong with that?"

"Semi-military control?"

Everyone was stunned when they suddenly heard this word.

Li Si stepped forward.

"Young Master, this......"

"Prime Minister Li, if you have anything to say, please speak frankly!"

"My Lord, I just want to ask, what is this semi-military control?"

Fusu smiled slightly.

"The so-called semi-military control, as the name suggests, is to manage the people like the army. Semi-military control is more relaxed than managing the army."

"The herdsmen are like the army. If the army can be disciplined, the people can do the same. This is the core of military control. Using the army to manage the people, such a system will have huge advantages in wartime. My Great Qin prospered because of this..."

After Fusu's explanation, Li Si's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Semi-military control? Using the same method to govern the army to govern the people?"

"I see!"

Li Si suddenly realized.

It turns out that the Qin Dynasty has been using semi-military control all these years!

The system of the Qin Dynasty has never changed, and it has always used the management method left over from Shang Yang's reforms, and no one has delved into the reasons behind it.

When Fusu pointed it out today, Li suddenly understood.

Afterwards, Li Si and his ministers looked up at Fusu above, and were shocked!

Everyone has become accustomed to the system, which has been formed over the past hundred years, but no one has really looked into the root cause. Unexpectedly, this eldest son...

Fusu's performance has far exceeded Li Si's expectations!

The eldest son is truly extraordinary!

"If we follow what the eldest son said, it is feasible to herd the people in this way."

Li Si replied.

Fusu smiled slightly: "In fact, this semi-military control still has its drawbacks."

"Oh?"

"Does Shang Gong's method also have drawbacks?"

Some spoke to the officials respected by Shang Yang.

Fusu glanced at it calmly and said, "This is natural. Since ancient times, there has been no system that adapts to every era. The system is constantly corrected and improved in the process of following the times. If the times change but the system does not keep up, isn't this like looking for a sword on a boat?"

..........

boom!

As soon as Fusu said this.

Li Si felt a sudden bang in his mind, and he stood there in a daze, as if something had suddenly been enlightened...

"Carving a boat to look for a sword...carving a boat...looking for a sword?"

"That's it! That's it!"

The light in Li Si's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Ever since he took office as the left prime minister, he has been working hard for the strength of the Qin Dynasty and also for himself to be remembered through the ages. He is the inheritor of the Legalists and naturally highly respects Shang Yang's laws. There is nothing wrong with governing a country according to law, but Li Si always feels that something has gone wrong with the Qin Dynasty. No matter how hard he tries, he can't find the key to the problem!

But today, Fusu's sudden words of "carving a boat to look for a sword" made Li Si suddenly realize!

Yup!

The problem lies in this situation of looking for a sword on a boat!

The system established by Shang Yang is no longer suitable for the Qin Dynasty. Naturally, no matter how hard you try on this basis, it will be in vain!

Li Si was not the only one who was shocked. Most of the civil and military officials in the court were stunned...

Openly saying that the current system of Qin has drawbacks?

You are worthy of being the eldest son!

At this moment, when everyone was stunned, Fusu continued to speak...

"The so-called military control is to manage the world in a way similar to the military. The advantage of this method is that it can mobilize the power of the whole country in a short period of time, just like the army, it can greatly improve the national strength in a short period of time. The military merit system further enhances everyone's enthusiasm, which leads to everyone fighting hard, covering up the shortcomings of this military control."

"My Lord, I don't understand, what are the shortcomings of this military control?"

Feng Quji spoke.

All the ministers looked at Fusu.

Li Si also looked up at Fusu.

"Everything in the world has its destiny, and both yin and yang have their pros and cons. The benefit of military control lies in the word "tense", which keeps the people in a tense state and bursts out with unlimited power. But at the same time, governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. Long-term tension will also lead to countless problems, just like the Qin Dynasty today."

"In times of turmoil, severe punishments should be used. There is nothing wrong with military control, but after the world has been peaceful, still using such harsh laws and such strict management to control the people will have the opposite effect."

"The key to tension and relaxation is to have tension and relaxation, both are indispensable. Father doesn't understand the principle, but that's okay. I understand. Father's ability is a little weak and he can't grasp it, but that's okay. Now that I am in power, I will help father to find out the loopholes and make up for them, and grasp it well."

Fusu looked confident.

The officials broke out in a sweat after hearing this and dared not to speak...

..........

At this time, Li Si was already thinking about the laws of the Qin Dynasty.

He was the master of the Legalists and had a lot of experience in legislation. He just didn't know where the problem of the Qin Dynasty lay before, but now that he has been enlightened, he is eager to try.

"My Lord, how do you think the law should be changed? I can't wait!"

Li Si spoke.

"Change? Change what? Why change it?"

Fusu asked back.

"That's not what the eldest master said just now..."

"What I just said was the drawbacks of military control. I just said it is not in line with the current situation of the Qin Dynasty. But when did I say I wanted to change the law?"

Li Si was confused now...

The ministers were also stunned...

"My Lord, you have confused me. Since military control has its flaws and the law is too harsh, why not change it? Isn't this just knowingly making a mistake?"

Li Si's doubts were also shared by the ministers, and everyone looked at Fusu...

Fusu looked helpless.

"Do you think I don't want to? Didn't I just say that governing a big country is like cooking a small fish? You should plan it slowly and not do it all at once!"

"I want to ask you, right now, our Great Qin has no money and no food, the remnants of the six kingdoms are plotting against us, and there are powerful enemies surrounding us. Under such circumstances, if we arbitrarily change the laws, and someone interferes and misinterprets the laws, wouldn't the people's misunderstanding lead to a disaster?"

"We must eat one mouthful at a time and walk one step at a time. Given the current situation of our Great Qin, it is not possible to arbitrarily change the law! Let's put the matter of the law aside for now and get those 600,000 corvées to me first!"

"Oh, right, tell them that those who come to farm for me can have their labor service deducted, and can borrow cattle, horses, and farm tools for free. They can keep 30% of the income from farming, excluding food. The more they work, the more they get. As for the land... as long as they are willing to work, they can open as much as they can, and the more they open, the more they get!"

Fusu stroked his chin and stated the plan he had wanted for a long time.

"Wang Ben!"

"Chen is here!"

"Your father, Wang Jian, conquered Chu with hundreds of thousands of troops and managed them in an orderly manner. I want to appoint you as the general and command 600,000 corvées with 30,000 troops in Xianyang. Do you have the confidence?"

"this........"

Wang Ben did not agree immediately. He thought for a while and said, "My Lord, I have heard what you said just now, but managing the herdsmen is different from managing the army. I am worried..."

"What's the difference? The difference between the two is nothing more than one's daily content is training soldiers, and the other's daily content is farming. How about this, I'll let Li Xiang help you manage it, and if there are any undecided matters, just report to me directly. Is that okay?"

Seeing that Fusu had said so much, Wang Ben no longer refused.

"I obey!"

"Okay, let's discuss the specific details together..."

..........

Fusu was in high spirits in the court.

And at the same time.

In Xianyang, secret reports have been sent out one after another...
