...

Time flies for a few days, because of Chen Xu's words in the court, the selection of hundreds of celebrities and the construction of statues slowly subsided among the people.

After repeated quarrels and mediation by thousands of people from the School of Literature, 120 famous celebrities from the primary election were also released, writing resumes, writing classic quotes, and organizing sect theories. A supplement published by 120 celebrities was released. With the release of the latest issue of the Daqin Metropolis Daily, there was also a vote in it, and everyone who bought the newspaper would get a voting opportunity.

Although the quarrels among the people and the disciples of the Hundred Schools have begun to calm down due to statues and rankings, in fact, this kind of thing must not be let go. After all, the sages have basically died by this era, and even the last great wise man Xunzi has passed away for more than 20 years. At present, the disciples of the Hundred Schools of the Great Qin are actually a group of ordinary people, all of whom are fighting for power and profit. In other words, by this period of the Qin Dynasty, the controversy of the Hundred Schools had begun to decay, and replaced by pragmatism and utilitarianism produced by the integration.

This is also due to the tradition of Qin.

Among the seven heroes of the Warring States Period, Qin was the country that most emphasized practical theory. In order to be strong, it successively activated the legal disciple Shang Yang, implemented the art of fooling the people and strict laws, activated the Mo Pu's burying the brink of the six countries, and even used a large army to attack South Korea in order to get Han Feizi, and even vigorously promoted Li Si, who was poisoned by the same sect. In other words, the tradition of Qin's employment of people only values ​​ability and not character. Under this tradition of employing people, the nature of the hundred disciples who came to surrender to Qin can also be seen.

The success of the Qin Dynasty is utilitarian, and failure is utilitarian. It is because it emphasizes too much utilitarianism and ignores benevolence, righteousness and morality, and eventually collapses in a hopeless way.

Among them, the two main figures who overthrew the Qin Dynasty, one was Zhao Gao, who was a low-class person but was proficient in the law. Therefore, Qin Shihuang promoted him to the rank of the CEI throne and asked him to teach his son Hu Hai. He even committed a death sentence and was pardoned. Such people with misconduct were in a high position in the court and controlled the center, which would inevitably have great hidden dangers.

The same is true for Li Si. Although he has great vision and talent, his moral qualities have great flaws. He poisoned his senior brother Han Feizi and instigated the emperor to burn poetry and books for his own interests. Both are unforgivable crimes, but he was able to hold the position of left prime minister and be granted the title of Shangqing to control the government.

When utilitarianism prevails, morality will inevitably decline. The Qin Dynasty relies on strict laws to restrict civilians to maintain the stability of the country. This is originally putting the cart before the horse.

In the development of human civilization, morality has always been the first. Any normal law is to maintain morality and justice. When the law cannot maintain morality, when the law cannot support the old man who has fallen to the ground, when the law cannot uphold justice, the moral level of society will decline rapidly and begin to collapse. When people are punished or even wronged for their own good deeds and justice-compliant behaviors, people will give up morality and hide their kindness. Over time, the country will become dissatisfied.

At present, the bustling disciples of the hundreds of families in Xianyang are full of utilitarianism.

And the famous scholars who really have no utilitarianism all hide among the people and even in the wilderness and mountains and rivers and do not want to serve Qin.

Building a library, selecting hundreds of sages, and setting statues for them is to set an example for the Qin Dynasty, let utilitarianism fade, and return morality, and then supplemented by the implementation of new laws to maintain basic fairness and justice on the basis of ensuring the rule of imperial power, and to build the Qin Dynasty into a preliminary prosperous imperial feudal country.

This is the goal Chen Xu needs to achieve slowly.

The release of each issue of Daqin Metropolis Daily begins at the end of Yin in the early morning.

Because the four city gates in Xianyang will be opened at the end of the Yin period, and only the carriage transporting newspapers from the printing factory can enter the city.

In late autumn, it is getting late.

But on this day, before Yin hour, the entire Xianyang City began to become noisy. After countless disciples of various costumes were tossing and turning, they got up early and rushed to countless newspaper and book pavilions, sales halls, and mobile sales points all over Xianyang City.

Yawning, rubbing eyes, rubbing hands and stomping feet. The early morning of late autumn was already very cold, but everyone stared at their red eyes and discussed the noise with each other. Many people even clamored and pushed and shoved, and pulled out their swords to duel in the street. However, except for countless people who followed suit, there were not many people who tried to fight or stopped them.

It seems that the people have already realized that when these disciples of hundreds of families were queuing up early to buy newspapers, many vendors selling breakfasts with carts and loads carrying baskets and baskets also got up, and pushed steaming buns, steamed buns, pancakes and pancakes to various newsstands and distribution centers to provide breakfast for these guys who were queuing up to fight and watch the fun.

A breakfast of three or five cents is no longer a problem for the people of Xianyang today. These disciples of hundreds of families used to spend time in Xianyang to make a living, and many of them lived a miserable life. Just like Tang Ting, they often had a meal but no meal, and sometimes they couldn't borrow money to hunger for a day or two. However, in recent years, these intellectuals who read and read have become wealthy groups in Xianyang City, and were recruited by the imperial court and wealthy merchants to join the reform tide of Qinghehou, and have already had a place to fully utilize their talents.

As the saying goes, "Full and warmth", these people have also become frequent visitors to Quyuan Miscellaneous Houses. They are a group of educated hooligans. They use their salary to support the vigorous development of countless Quyuan Miscellaneous Houses in Xianyang. They are the favorite group of ladies in all Quyuan Miscellaneous Houses in Xianyang. They speak nicely and have rich actions, gentle movements and short time. They are completely the best-quality clients.

The noisy among the people naturally made the Lieutenant's Mansion feel like a great enemy. Before dawn, Lu Xiao was shouted from the bed by the patrolling imperial guards and informed thousands of students from a hundred families gathered on the streets. Lu Xiao had to leave his concubine and get up from the warm bed to arrange patrols and defenses of the imperial guards. He only breathed a sigh of relief after finding out the reasons for the gathering of these people.

Fighting and insulting, laughing and cheering, the shouting of buns and steamed buns, the scolding of the imperial guards, and the city of Xianyang, which was filled with thick fog, ushered in another rising sun in such a bustle and bustle.

“Crunch~”

The huge winch rotated under the push of more than a dozen imperial guards, and the four closed gates of Xianyang City slowly opened.

The people who had already lined up to be in and out of the city gate began to rush in and out of the city gate and commemoratively started to rush in excitement until the gate was fully opened and the imperial guards guarding the gate dragged the horses and fences to both sides. The crowd inside and outside the city gate instantly began to flow forward, and the inspection of the imperial guards began to pass.

"Driving~~"

At the west gate of Xianyang City, among the crowded crowds lined up, there were more than ten double-bridle four-wheeled carriages directly entering the city from the passage where the nobles entered and exited next to them. The imperial guards guarding the gate quickly released them without checking, because the words "Da Qin Metropolis Daily" were sprayed on these carriages, which were carriages transporting newspapers in the newspaper hall, and they were basically coming and going every day.

"Here's here, the newspaper is here!"

Shortly after the trucks transporting newspapers entered the city, countless small two-wheeled carriages or mules and horses were transported to various sales outlets with rattan boxes. Seeing the latest issue of newspapers delivered, everyone who fought, started to make a fuss, and ate buns of steamed buns and then calmed down and reorganized the team, and then took out the money bags one by one.

"Crash~" The window of the newsstand was pushed open, and a helper in it poked his head out and shouted: "Line in line and don't be crowded, start selling!"

"Wow~" The thick and long queues on the street swayed like a long snake in an instant, and everyone rushed forward desperately.

"Fifty newspapers~" the scalpers ranked first were probably the ones who directly slapped ten purple Tai Chi Tongbao on the wooden windowsill of the newsstand.

The foreman at the newsstand did not raise his hand, and swept the five hundred dollars into the cash box with one hand, and threw out a large bundle of newspapers.

"Hehe, I'm going to make another small fortune today!" The scalper turned around and ran away excitedly with the newspaper.

"Someone has fifty newspapers~" The second-ranked also slapped the ten Tai Chi Tongbao on the windowsill.

"Crash~" As the sound of copper coins falling from the box, a large bundle of newspapers was also thrown out.

"Fifty copies~" The third one also threw down five hundred dollars and turned around and fought off fifty newspapers.

"Fifty copies..." When the fourth one shouted out the same number, the queue behind him suddenly became excited and noisy.

"Your mother, you're shameless to wait for a few rascals. It's fine to let you go on weekdays. Today, I'll have important things to buy newspapers. You'll wait for fifty copies for each person. Isn't it enough to get up early to queue up?"

"That's right, put down the newspaper and crawl away quickly!" A burly Confucian scholar with wide sleeves stepped forward and grabbed the neck of the scalper who was about to leave and gritted his teeth and shouted.

"My husband, please spare me, I bought it for the palaces of all the officials in the south of the city..." The rook quickly accused the crime, and he could not afford to offend these gentry.

"So what about the princes and nobles? You can stop us from reading the newspaper..." The Confucian scholar kicked the scalper out with one kick.

"Melon peel, leave the newspaper and leave quickly, otherwise you will be beaten ~"

"Of course, kill this turtle grandson~"

A group of scribes who were rubbing their fists and palms rushed up to threaten them.

"Okay, I won't buy it!" The scalper was so scared that he didn't want the money. He ran away while tidying up his clothes and hair. Anyway, they are regular customers of the newsstand, so the money would not be lost. But today it seems that they can't make money.

"Damn it, everyone says you should make money as early as possible. It seems that I didn't get up early today. A group of slutty kids are so unlucky, bah~" The scalper spitted at the line-up and turned around and chased after the three companions in front.

"A certain ten...uh, five newspapers~"

"Five newspapers~"

"A certain three copies..."
