"Your Majesty, Qidi is the last vassal state to conquered by our great Qin, and the people are also the most restless. This disaster relief can greatly attract the people of Qidi's sense of belonging to the great Qin. This merchant Qimao is a member of Qi County and can be regarded as a representative figure of Qidi's merchants and wealthy people. Qidi has been the most prosperous place for business since ancient times. Now, about 40% of the merchants and wealthy families in Xianyang are from Qidi. Therefore, to win the hearts of the people of the world, you can start with Qidi first. Although the official Xu Qimao gave back a piece of advice for the delivery of clothes, this is not enough to win his heart. If Your Majesty can still proclaim the name of Yishang, the merchants in the world will be moved and then follow it!"

"Your dear words are reasonable..." The emperor nodded after hearing this, but before he could say the following words, an official from the Ministry of Revenue could not help but stand up and said, "Your Majesty, merchants are good at profit and skillful, how can they hear there be righteousness? How can they use the word "righteousness"? I think it can be granted a free official as a reward as the rules of the last three rules of law!"

"I am asking for advice, and the word "Yi Shang" should not be easily approved!" Several ministers stood up and bowed.

"Haha, merchants value profit over righteousness, but have you forgotten Fan Li. Business is not only profit but also faith and righteousness. People are not born to know it, and merchants are not born to like profit over righteousness. We are above the court and should have the responsibility to educate the people. The great way is Yin and Yang, everything is not this or that. Oranges are born to Huainan, and oranges are born to Huainan, and oranges are born to Huainan, and we are the people who plant oranges. Identify all things and plant them according to the land and time, and we will naturally obtain different productions. For merchants, the court will proclaim them with righteousness, and the people will believe in them with righteousness.

If the court announces it for profit, the people believe it for profit. This is the guidance of education. Now the newspaper calls on all people to donate clothes. The people of Xianyang are enthusiastic about the situation and are all kind and benevolent and righteous. This is the result of Your Majesty's education. When all merchants are watching, Qi Mao can stand up and help, and he must have a thought of benevolence and righteousness in his heart. This kind of benevolence and righteousness, regardless of whether it is big or bad, is worthy of publicity and praise. Now that Qi Mao is given the name of righteous merchants, merchants in the world will take Qi Mao as a model and act in the future with a benevolence and righteousness..."

"Your Majesty, Lao Tzu once said: The superior virtue is nothing, but there is no way to do it; the inferior virtue is what he does, but there is no way to do it. The superior benevolence is nothing, but there is no way to do it; the superior righteousness is what he does, but there is also what he believes. The virtue of benevolence is granted by heaven, and is the virtue that all people should have. We have read the books of the sages, so we should have the virtue of educating all people as the Marquis of Qinghe said, "I should give it to Qi Mao Yishang the name of Yishang to promote Your Majesty's heart of educating benevolence, righteousness and virtue." A doctor stood up and said loudly to Chen Xu.

"Your Majesty, the Book of Rites says: Benevolence is benevolence, reason is righteousness, integrity is etiquette, power is knowledge, benevolence is knowledgeable, benevolence is knowledgeable, righteousness is knowledgeable, human beings are possessed. Benevolence is the foundation of human nature and the source of morality. I think it is reasonable for the Qinghe Marquis to say!" A doctor stood up and posted it on his back.

"Your Majesty, King Wen practices benevolence and righteousness and rule the world. Now our Qin Dynasty is booming, and the mountains, rivers, seas and lakes are all swaying. All the people cannot be governed without benevolence and righteousness. I agree with the theory of Qinghe Hou's education and ask Your Majesty to grant Qi Mao the name of Yi Shang. Then the merchants and the merchants in the world will do good deeds and the people will be the same!" Another doctor wearing Confucian scholar's robes stood up.

"Educating benevolence and righteousness, and returning all people to virtue is your Majesty's responsibility!" A large group of doctors and doctors in the court stood up and bowed and shouted in unison.

Li Si glanced at the boy standing in front of him, held back his beard and eyebrows trembled slightly but didn't say anything.

Whether it is a dispute between righteousness and business, or a dispute between laws and regulations, Li Si has been at a disadvantage recently. Because of Chen Xu's appearance, the atmosphere in the court has changed greatly. Although those who support Chen Xu seem to be free officials among some doctors and doctors, Li Si knows that it is far from what he sees. As long as he has a heavy official or a disciple of the Legal family, he will inevitably have officials of the same level and cheer for Chen Xu. Even a group of military leaders will jump out to find him bad luck, because the Martyrs' Temple built by Chen Xu has become a great honor for the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty.

The land of honor is now filled with incense and worshipping the people every day. This Martyrs' Temple greatly embodies the hearts of soldiers and the people. Almost all the soldiers are grateful to Chen Xu. It is natural for a group of generals in the court to support Chen Xu. Therefore, in just half a year, Chen Xu has changed from a miscellaneous legion in the court that seems to have only the skins of immortal disciples to a bridgehead fortress to resist Li Si. Therefore, Li Si usually does not take action without a certainty, and is becoming more and more tolerant and low-key, because he found that he was increasingly unable to understand the emperor's thoughts, and it was not as easy as before.

Looking at a large group of officials who spoke for Chen Xu, Qin Shihuang nodded with a big sleeve: "Although Qi Mao is a merchant, he has the idea of ​​benevolence and righteousness and does not care about returning the disaster relief clothes. I promise it in the name of a righteous businessman. Later, the palace people will go to Qi Mao's mansion to read the order. This matter will be published in the newspaper and spread to the world, so as to educate the merchants and the people in the world to benefit, and to cultivate virtues!"

"Your Majesty is kind and righteous!" Chen Xu and a large group of doctors bowed and shouted.

This time, the dispute over benevolence and righteousness caused by Qi Mao’s incident in the court was just a small matter for Chen Xu.

Benevolence and righteousness are virtues, and all disciples of all schools of thought are inherited. Even the Legalists still promote benevolence and righteousness. The saying "King Wen practices benevolence and righteousness and rule the world" comes from Han Feizi, and Han Feizi is Li Si's senior brother. He is a relatively authentic disciple of the Legalists. The one who admires benevolence and morality is the Confucianism. Confucianism has been divided into eight by the Warring States Period, and there have been disunity and disputes between them. Under the influence of these eight different factions, the hundreds of schools of thought have gradually differentiated.

Different concepts and interpretations have emerged in the study. The two most famous schools are Mencius and Xunzi. One advocates the good nature of human nature and learns from ancient rituals of Shang and Zhou dynasties to promote benevolence, virtue, etiquette and morality, and the other advocates the evil nature of human nature and emphasizes etiquette and law to reform the past and make innovations. This has led to the fact that Mencius' disciples and Xunzi's disciples have gradually become a trend of water and fire. Both in the people and in the courts, and the battles in history are extremely powerful. The actions of burning books and burying scholars in history are also closely related to this kind of struggle, and it is unknown how much Li Si's revenge mentality is contained.

Therefore, before burning books and burying scholars, Li Si was not a single hand in the court. He opposed him a lot and defeated Chunyu Yue, but another Qinghe Marquis.

Qinghe Hou is a big weirdo. He seems to be talking about all the truth. He also talks about morality and law. He also makes a lot of money when talking about benevolence and righteousness. He eats delicacies and cares about the suffering of the people in the world. He can sit with beggars and chat with beggars. Therefore, in the eyes of the people of Xianyang, Chen Xu's actions are messy and a contradictory complex. He cannot see clearly or understand them. He can only view from a distance and cannot play with them!

Disaster relief is still going on, but Chen Xu's mind is no longer focused on disaster relief.

It is already mid-June, and the hottest summer is coming.

The Qinghe Villa outside the city has been cleaned and tidy and ready to move in.

Therefore, just as the people in Xianyang were actively donating money, grain and clothes, and the city was discussing the suffering of the people in the disaster area, the strange Marquis Chen Xu moved his new residence outside the city to enjoy the happiness.

Qinghe Villa is almost twenty miles away from Xianyang City, but the Weihe Plain is almost plain except for a small piece of woods. Standing at the entrance of Qinghe Villa, you can see the Xianyang city in the distance.

Outside the city, not inside the city. The land and forests in this radius of hundreds of hectares are all private property of Chen Xu. He has awarded dozens of hectares of land and real estate several times. After Wang Qingxiu's death, he awarded one hundred hectares of forests, one hundred hectares of grain fields, and the Shiqing Cemetery. Therefore, the territory nearly thirty miles northeast from the bank of the Wei River is all Chen Xu's sphere of influence. The crops and farmers above are all from Chen Xu, and there is no curfew. No one will take care of when he goes out to go home. He is completely the most free local emperor.

Faced with such a large private manor, Chen Xu naturally had to inspect it. Therefore, since he moved in and settled his family, he would take time to ride a horse and a group of servants carrying swords, guns, bows and arrows on the territory every day.

Talk to the farmers about farming crops, check the resources in your territory, where there are rivers, ponds, mountains and forests, and where there are delicious wild fruits. After each survey, you have to draw a map when you go home, and then plan how these places should play their characteristics according to local conditions, such as raising fish, growing vegetables, planting fruit trees, etc. Therefore, in the past few days, this manor map like a game map has aroused the great interest of Xing'er and Yu Ji. If you have nothing to do, you will play games on the manor map.

That morning, Chen Xu came to a stream next to a stream. There was a water sieve, which was about seven or eight acres. There were reeds, water shield and other plants growing inside. Frogs croaked and dragonflies flew in groups like bombers. Water snakes were also walking around the water plants everywhere. It was definitely a primitive wasteland. No one had ever come here at all, and there was no road.

It would be a pity for Chen Xu to not have to go to such a good water seed. Dig it out and build an dam around it to make an original pond. Raise some fish and shrimps. Then you can also arrange people to build a farm nearby and raise a group of chickens, ducks and geese. You can come and fish when you have nothing to do. This is a great place to beat multiple birds with one stone.

The three elders and wives on the fiefdom were accompanied by the three elders and the wicked husband You Jiao. They all were so arrogant that they dared not come out and followed Chen Xu respectfully.

"I want to dig a pond in this place. After the summer grain is harvested, you will gather villagers to do it. The workers will take out five cents a day to subsidize a kilogram of grain..."

"Mr. Marquis, I'll just arrange my work directly. I don't dare to ask for money and food!" The husband and You Jiao quickly shook their heads.

"It's okay, this is a reward, so that everyone can work harder..."
