Two hundred and seventieth chapter fiery heart
Zhao Kuo discovered a very important issue.
Zhao Zheng, who lived in Zhao since childhood, had not been discriminated against or was not bullied, obviously had a greater sense of identity with Zhao. In his previous life, Zhao Kuo seemed to have heard that Zhao Zheng was bullied in Handan because he was young. After destroying Zhao, he slaughtered the nobles in Handan completely. But now, he does not hate Zhao people, and he can't even find any playmates in Qin. He just plays with Zhao Kuo's children's children every day.
This made Zhao Zheng inevitably get infected with the Zhao country's customs, and he revealed a kind of courage, heroism, and meddling in his bones. He was like a man from Handan who came to Xianyang to do business. He pointed at Xianyang disdainfully and did not regard this place as his home. However, the child was still young, and Zhao Zheng, who was born with the King of Qin forty-eight years, is only seven years old now, so this sense of identity will gradually take shape.
Zhao Kuo no longer took Zhao Zheng to visit his real father and eldest father. Ying Yiren came a few times and even sent gifts to Zhao Zheng. The Yangquanjun also came to confess his guilt. It seemed that he was scolded by An Guojun, and he seemed very scared. Zhao Kuo did not get angry with him anymore. He accepted his apology and apologized for his rudeness. The two reconciled.
However, Zhao Kuo and Yang Quanjun were not very good at matching. This Yang Quanjun was curious about rare treasures and was exaggerated. He either talked about beauty or treasures. This made Zhao Kuo feel very poor about him. He just went back and forth a few times and avoided him.
The new policy was promoted very quickly in Qin State. With the efforts of the ministers, Qin State quickly completed the reform of old official positions. A new official system appeared. Many military disciples from school backgrounds flocked to the top political leaders and served as important positions such as the subordinates, chiefs, and chiefs of the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers. This was a new change for Qin State. Han Fei believed that the "competitions" often held in Qin State were a very good system, so he proposed to apply this system to the position of Three Dukes and Nine Ministers.
It probably depends on who does more things, who does the best, who makes breakthroughs in the field he is in charge.
The King of Qin also became busy and had no time to visit Zhao Kuo again. Zhao Kuo was also happy to have such a leisurely time. He took this opportunity to run a school room in his courtyard again to teach his disciples. What he did not expect was that the King of Qin directly vacated him the largest school room in Xianyang. This was originally a place to train officials. The King of Qin asked him to build another school room for them elsewhere, and this school room with completeness in all aspects was given to Zhao Kuo directly.
There were not many disciples who followed Zhao Kuo to Qin, but they followed more than fifty people, and the rest of the disciples returned to their own countries.
In Qin, there were indeed many people who wanted to become Zhao Kuo's disciples. After Zhao Kuo moved into the new school room, hundreds of people flocked in. Zhao Kuo sat in the upper position and looked at the disciples around him. Compared to the original disciples' casualness, the new Qin disciples looked solemn in their faces. They held pens and bamboo slips and looked at Zhao Kuo seriously. No matter what Zhao Kuo said, they would write them down and engraved them in their bones, making them more like soldiers than disciples who came to study.
Zhao Kuo's educational methods have always been easy. He does not like lifeless classrooms, nor does he like too serious classrooms. Classes are originally communication between teachers and disciples, and everyone can come up with their own ideas. Occasionally, Zhao Kuo will tell a few jokes to be active in the classroom. Those disciples of Qin usually hesitate for a long time. When they see the old disciples laughing, they squeeze out a smile very hard, and a fake smile for a moment.
Zhao Kuo looked at these disciples, but his face was a little solemn.
"Why are you here to study?"
He asked an irrelevant question.
"We want to be officials."
These disciples were honest and did not lie. Zhao Kuo nodded and said, "I know why you have to be so serious. This is because the law is serious and solemn... Everyone will be those who will enforce the law in the future. But people should not be like this. People should learn to laugh and live happily. You are law enforcement people at work and can show seriousness, but on weekdays, you are people, and you cannot have only one emotion!"
So, Zhao Kuo's first lesson was to teach these future officials to laugh.
He did not continue to stay in the school room, and took these disciples out of Xianyang, even took them to Taoshan to see the scenery there, and also organized several football matches to ask them to come and play.
Zhao Kuo's actions caused a great sensation in Xianyang, and all the ministers of Qin could not understand it. Since Shangjun, Qin has been deliberately curbing everything that has nothing to do with farming and war. Like what poetry is beneficial to farming and sericulture? Is it beneficial to war? If not, then don't do it. If you dare to talk about poetry, you will be sentenced! Play? Is it beneficial to farming? Is it beneficial to war? No? Then don't play! Sentences that dare to waste time!
The child is born with a disabled person. Can he farm when he raises him? Will he fight? No? Then just fall to death, he will drag the Qin State back.
The Qin people never waste their energy to do other things. Zhao Kuo now takes his disciples to play and even teaches them some useless things, which naturally caused confusion among the ministers. The Censor Wang He was the first to impeach Zhao Kuo to the King of Qin. He accused Zhao Kuo of not fulfilling his duties and leading everyone to commit wandering crimes and being arrested. The King of Qin did not agree. He rejected the Censor's proposal on the grounds that Wu Chengjun had just arrived in Qin and did not know the laws of Qin. However, he also sent someone to hurriedly invite Zhao Kuo to the palace.
Zhao Kuo took those disciples to watch the beautiful scenery in Taoshan. In spring, the whole Taoshan is red, just like the world in a painting. Such a beautiful scenery will touch anyone. Zhao Kuo led his disciples to wander here and said seriously: "The law has no emotions. Of course, those who execute the law must strictly enforce the law according to the emotional law, but those who execute the law cannot be without emotions."
"In the face of killing innocent criminals indiscriminately, officials should accuse him of anger. In the face of disaster victims in need, officials should be compassionate. In the face of those who need education, officials should be patient and teach them what they can and cannot do..."
Zhao Kuo finally brought them back to Xianyang, and as soon as he returned to Xianyang, he was invited by the King of Qin to the palace.
The King of Qin smiled and asked Zhao Kuo to sit beside him. He then asked, "Is your family still healthy?" Zhao Kuo nodded, and the two chatted for a while. The King of Qin then talked about the important matter. He said, "I heard that you took the disciples of the school to Taoshan. If you want to travel, of course no one will dissuade you, but those officials should spend more energy to learn the law...learning law enforcement..."
"I took them to Taoshan to teach them to enforce the law."
Zhao Kuo said seriously: "After I came to Qin, I didn't hear any laughter. Of course, you also said: It is enough to hear breathing. But what I know is: If a country blindly rules the people through power and constantly drives them to do things through interests, such a country will definitely not be long. Xunzi once said this on Taoshan."
"You agreed at the time."
"I can understand that Qin has established all systems on farming and war. This has given Qin a strong combat power and also given Qin a power to rule the world. However, Qin cannot continue like this. Sooner or later, the people will hate such a system and such a life. When there is no benefit to drive them, they will definitely lose their sense of identity with Qin."
The King of Qin said helplessly: "What you said can be implemented after the king's world. When Qin has no enemies, it can appropriately give laughter to the people, but now, this is impossible."
"Are you worried that such actions will affect the national strength of Qin?" Zhao Kuo said again: "You can appropriately modify the Qin laws to reduce those cruel punishments, and give the people appropriate time to breathe." Zhao Kuo thought for a moment, and then said: "You can organize appropriate entertainment activities by officials from all over the country after the busy farming." When he heard the entertainment activities, the King of Qin frowned and hesitated.
Zhao Kuo shook his head helplessly and said, "Don't worry, the tug-of-war, football, and other games I mentioned in the horse service book are all beneficial to war. This can increase the cohesion and even organizational strength of the people. You can ask local governments to set up football teams to play games, which will not affect the farming and sericulture. The people have their own entertainment activities, which can be regarded as another form of exercise... I said you won't believe it, but please ask you to come to my mansion and let you see it yourself."
Cuju has existed in this era. Of course, Cuju has existed for a long time, and now it is called Taju. However, this is a completely different game from football. Taju can be regarded as fancy football, one by one, and then plays a flower. It is still different from a team sports like football. The King of Qin called Lu Buwei, Wang Yan, Meng Ao and others, and rushed to Zhao Kuo's mansion. Zhao Kuo's mansion was big enough to be a football field.
As soon as they arrived here, the King of Qin and the ministers were a little stunned. Looking at the two tall door frames and fishing nets, this was Taju?? They saw many people gathered here and tied out two groups according to their different costumes. They only had one Cuju. After the game started, Di, who was tall and big, began to dribble the ball. At the beginning, these people were still looking at it with critical eyes, but as they looked at it, they became fascinated.
The King of Qin was fine, but the old General Meng Ao couldn't help but clap and scream. He watched these people colliding with each other, and bypassed the opponent's defense by passing the ball. He watched them cooperate with each other and finally won the victory. This made Meng Ao think about it. He couldn't help looking at Zhao Kuo in the distance. At this moment, Zhao Kuo was waving his hands excitedly. As a fan, the happiest thing was to see football matches in 252 BC.
The only drawback is that football is easily kicked.
The King of Qin narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile: "What do you think of Wu Chengjun's proposal?"
Meng Ao nodded and said, "Yes, this kind of game values cooperation and confrontation between groups...I think it's OK."
Lu Buwei said seriously: "I have calculated that a game is less than an hour, and it does not affect the agriculture and sericulture. However, I am worried that after this game promotion, the people from all over the world will be addicted to fun and no longer work hard." The King of Qin narrowed his eyes and looked at the excited Zhao Kuo in the distance, and then said: "What impact can the people play a tramp in their spare time?"
"Then let's decide."
"only!!"
Sure enough, as Zhao Kuo thought, the King of Qin still agreed to his proposal and began to promote this game in various countries. This was the first time in Qin State. The government encouraged the people to play? The Qin people were confused. However, when they heard that this was a game created by Wu Chengjun, they were still looking forward to it. Soon, the officials in Xianyang were the first to organize the people to play football. The officials did not know why they wanted to take them to play football, but this was the king's order, and they could not violate it.
From the countryside to the county town, people could hear the people running back and forth everywhere, kicking the football into the door frame with all their might. Everyone hugged each other, and the serious officials served as referees, standing not far away to score for them. Stop those foul behaviors, and the promotion of football games was extremely smooth in Qin State. Every household went out to watch the game, and the selected elites worked hard to exercise on the court.
After the busy day of farming, the people occasionally gather together to play football.
The officials did not stop it, as long as it did not affect the agriculture and sericulture.
The Qin people, who had been strangled for too long, instantly became addicted to this only legal game. The Qin State was very efficient. Within less than half a month of ordering from the King of Qin, promotion was already started everywhere. The people gathered happily, and smiled on the faces of the officials. An atmosphere of joy was spreading in the Qin State and quickly broke the original silence. When the people were farming, they were happily talking about yesterday's competition and working hard.
Not everyone is happy to see this change in Qin State.
Many people think that Zhao Kuo destroyed Shang Jun’s century-old system foundation and made the people addicted to and play. The Qin State will sooner or later pay a serious price!
Zhao Kuo ignored these words. He just mingled among the people watching the football game, cheering with the people, listening to the laughter around him, watching the young people frantically signaling to the people around him after scoring the goal, and watching them hug each other enthusiastically. A smile finally appeared on those sad and stern faces, and the suppressed passionate heart finally began to beat again.
