Da Qin: After becoming a saint, he stole Brother Zheng’s spot in the group

"Dad, don't worry about these details.

Legalism naturally has this principle, but you may not see it."

Ying Zheng glared at Zhao Chen, I'm afraid you're not fooling me!

"So tell me, what do you mean by this?"

"Isn't this simple? What this means is that the law cannot be static.

In each period, we must find the most effective solutions to the social conflicts that arise at that time. To govern the country, we must use methods that suit our own national conditions, rather than copying what other countries use.

In the legal system, old laws from the past should be abolished, and laws that are harmful and unhelpful to the current society must be abolished. The methods of governing the country by our ancestors cannot be completely followed.

This is what some sophistical Confucian scholars say: the law is changing every day, and it is no longer in line with one's own interests, so the powerful have changed it again.

In fact, this is a complete fallacy. The main idea of Legalism is that when the old law causes dissatisfaction among the people, it is necessary to immediately find ways to change it, rather than changing it according to the interests of the powerful. On the contrary, the law is precisely for the benefit of the common people. Change.

The powerful don't want to change, because if they change once, their interests will be reduced.

Just like the current Great Qin, the laws should continue to change, because the Great Qin is getting stronger and changing every day, and many laws are no longer applicable to the current Great Qin or can no longer keep up with the pace of the Great Qin."

"Um? I see!"

Ying Zheng suddenly said

"Dad, why is that so??"

"After you said this, Gu suddenly understood that Da Qin had indeed changed a lot in the past few months. Gu always felt that something was missing, but he couldn't explain it.

Now that you say it, I understand that there is a lack of corresponding laws, or in other words, many laws cannot keep up with the current Da Qin.

For example, in the case of commercial tax, those businessmen will receive corresponding status changes according to the current commercial tax. However, if they evade taxes, the previous penalties will be too light. After all, the status of businessmen has changed, and the corresponding laws should also be Change is.

Also in agriculture, fields are now being divided into acres, and with the reform of agricultural tools, people are more enthusiastic than ever about reclaiming wasteland. However, there are no corresponding laws to protect their land, which is not good.

Gu didn't think of this before, but now when Chen'er said it to Gu, he immediately understood. It turned out that the law was missing and it had to be changed."

"Dad, I wish you could understand!

This is Legalism. To be honest, I admire the sages of Legalism very much. They have a sense of the overall situation: everything Legalism does is for one purpose, and the overall situation is the most important thing!

There are old sayings:"Be benevolent but not benevolent","Small things lead to big losses","Those who are greedy for small gains will suffer big losses", but Confucianism's view of problems is precisely partial and one-sided, and never considers the overall situation.

For example, when Duke Xianggong of the Song Dynasty claimed to be a"benevolent king", when Song and Chu were fighting, the Song army could have taken advantage of the Chu army to cross the river and defeated him without any defense.

But Song Xianggong insisted on using a"gentleman" approach and waited for the Chu army to land in a good position before fighting!

The consequences of being kind to the enemy were of course cruelty to oneself. Song was defeated and he himself was seriously injured and died. This is called"being unkind"!

Because of this, Song Xianggong was treated as a laughing stock.

But even so, there will be such examples in many vassal states. This is why.

It’s not like it was influenced by Confucianism.

Confucianism is pedantic, and its root cause is that it is bound by an invisible"benevolence" and fails to correctly understand"benevolence"."，""Benevolence" does not mean that you can be kind to a particular case, but it means the overall situation and the consequences.

On this point, Legalists have very good ideas. They always emphasize that the overall situation is the most important thing, and the most important thing is the outcome of the incident. the result, regardless of the process"

"Chen'er, you're right. That's exactly what it is. Women should not be benevolent. Very good. You should let your elder brother learn from you."

"Chen'er, I'm going to establish a punishment department to formulate laws and enforce the law. How about you be in charge?"

Zhao Chen………………

What's going on? It seems like I've been trapped in it.

That's not okay. I don't like this.

"Dad, I won’t do it! The Qin Dynasty is full of talents, and there are many members of the Legal family. Just let them formulate the laws. At most, after they have finished formulating, I will help check for omissions and fill in the gaps. There are also law enforcement matters. Aren't there so many people who can be used? Why me.

Didn’t I recommend many talents to you? Among them, Li Si and Han Fei can do it!"

"Li Si is indeed very good, but Han Fei is a young master of the Han Dynasty. He is unwilling to come to Daqin, and Gu does not force him.

Putting this aside, the law enforcement officers in Gu Shuo need to treat everyone equally. From the princes and nobles to the common people, they must not bend the law for personal gain. If they make mistakes, they must be tried according to the law.

In this way, it is natural to need someone in a high position to take charge, and you are the best candidate."

"No, I'm only three years old! You are abusing children. Dad, I am not the only son. You should choose someone else!"

Ying Zheng: Can you please stop using the excuse of being three years old? I'm tired of hearing this.

Zhao Gao: Master, my good master, this is a great right, how can you pass it on to others?"

"Regardless, it must be you. You have to do it even if you don’t dare."

Zhao Chen: Do you know that you are cheating?

This is not in line with your magnanimity to be an emperor for eternity! Dad.

No, you must find someone to take over, otherwise you will never have a stable life in the future.

Zhao Chen began to think deeply.

Right Yes, big brother can do it!

As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Chen’s eyes suddenly lit up

"Dad, I think the eldest brother is fine"

"he? No, no, some womanly benevolence has been corrupted by Confucianism. Wouldn't it be a big problem for the law to let him take on this important task?"

Ying Zheng immediately refused.

"Dad, don't worry. Although the eldest brother is deeply influenced by Confucianism, it is precisely because of this that the eldest brother is the most suitable candidate. Think about it, I, Da Qin, govern the country according to the law. Even if the eldest brother is benevolent, he will not bend the law for personal gain. After all, there are many people in Da Qin. Is everyone watching?

The eldest brother must safeguard the country's carelessness. In front of the country, everything else is false.

Even if the eldest brother does something wrong out of kindness at first, it doesn't hurt. Someone will remind him and tell him the consequences of doing so, as well as the established results.

At that time, the eldest brother will naturally wake up. In this way, he will think about the difference between the benevolence of Confucianism and the benevolence of the rule of law. When the time comes, my father will ask someone to guide the eldest brother. I believe that the eldest brother will definitely understand.

Isn't this what you want to see most, Dad?"

Hearing this, Ying Zheng fell silent. He began to think about what Zhao Chen said, and it seemed that it really made sense. Even if Fusu was being pedantic, he was still the Young Master of Da Qin, so he naturally had to put Da Qin first. At that time, he thought If you want to continue to be kind, there are some things that are too much for him to do.

"good!"

Ying Zheng suddenly slapped the document.

Zhao Chen: I'll go, I was so surprised that I was scared to death.

"Why didn't I think of that? Just do what you say, Chen'er!"

"Uh-huh!!"

Brother, I'm sorry. In order for me to be quiet, please support me first!

Fusu: Thank you!
