In history, this set of new textbooks was completed by Li Si, but it was not done by him alone. Li Si completed a set of "Cangjie Chapter", which consisted of seven chapters. Zhao Gao, the CRRC Mansion, wrote "Yuanli Chapter", which consisted of six chapters. The Grand Historian Hu Wujing wrote "Bo Xue Chapter", which consisted of seven chapters. The three people wrote a total of three chapters and twenty chapters... It was sorted into a complete Cangjie Chapter in the Western Han Dynasty. Unfortunately, this thing has long been lost.

Now that Li Si is still there, there is no trace of the other two. It is quite difficult for Zhao Kuo to let Li Si complete it alone. However, Li Si lost two helpers and got a stronger helper. Zhao Kuo was willing to help him complete it together. Li Si naturally did not dare to refuse and quickly said that it should be him who should be helping Zhao Kuo complete the enlightenment textbook.

Zhao Kuo only remembers some of the contents of the Three Character Classic and Thousand Character Classics. He cannot recite them in full, but he still has some impressions. The Three Character Classics is fine, but the moral concepts promoted are not perfect enough, and they are still somewhat different from what Zhao Kuo thinks. Thousand Character Classics, well... The contents of the Thousand Character Classics are complicated. Compared with the Three Character Classics, it contains more content and tells it from the development of heaven and earth. As an enlightenment textbook, what he and Zhao Kuo want may still be a little worse.

If you use such reading materials to enlighten, the likely result is: it is of course good to know the general idea of ​​creating the world, but I don’t understand a word. “The mysterious yellow of heaven and earth” means “The mysterious yellow of heaven and earth”. Read on and remember it, “The mysterious yellow of heaven and earth”! “The vast universe.” Heh!…

The enlightenment textbook that Zhao Kuo wanted to write should be simple first, and secondly, to teach the principles of dealing with people and things. Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but talk about the matter in Nanyang County, which is the moral education carried out by Xin Wu in Nanyang County. Li Si was an unswerving Legalist, and he absolutely did not recognize the use of morality to educate the people, but Li Si was also a disciple of Xunzi, so he knew how to put a moral coat on the law.

When Zhao Kuo first talked about moral education for the people, Li Si thought he wanted to implement the Confucian system, and to use morality to elect talents and replace the law with so-called moral education, but Li Si quickly calmed down. His teacher had this idea, but Zhao Kuo had been studying the ideas of the Legalists for a long time, and he probably wouldn't be addicted to Confucianism's theory of governing the country.

Sure enough, Zhao Kuo's later words also proved this point. Zhao Kuo did not ban the current laws, but promoted a moral concept, which would be gradually accepted by the people, just like the concept of unity... Therefore, the dominant theory is of course Zhao Kuo's theory of unity, and the moral concept that Zhao Kuo prepared to propose.

The rhythm of the law is supreme, and the country also advocates morality... People like Zhao Kuo may see the establishment of national spirit and quickly form the Chinese national concept and moral concept, while people like Li Si see the convenience of rule... As long as the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor is the mainstream moral concept... Different people can always see different things, and Zhao Kuo does not think that his influence can make everyone in the world become moral gentlemen and saints.

However, he wanted to influence today's concepts. For example, the people of Yan State should not take their wives to serve guests. The people of Zhao State should not commit suicide if they fail to complete the matter. The people of Qi State should not respect those brave and fierce raids. The people of Chu State should not be so superstitious about ghosts and gods. The people of Qin State should not be so bad... You have no way to restrict people from living according to your concepts.

But you have to let them know what is right, what can be encouraged, and what should be forbidden.

The Han Dynasty brought moral education to the extreme. The high-sounding work was probably the atmosphere raised by this era. He encouraged the people to be filial, friendly, and humble. The emperor set an example, the ministers followed suit, and established filial and honest people to recommend these moral people to learn and be officials... What's the use of doing this? It changed the people's concepts and let the people know what they should do and what methods they should respect.

Are the Qin people unfilial? No, in Qin State, if a child beats his father, the father can let the government kill his son directly. In Zhao State, the person who insults his father will have his tongue cut off, and the person who glars at his father will have his eyes dug out, and he will take action... Tsk tsk, even if he runs out of the government, the rangers from all over the world will definitely kill you when they hear your feat. The Han Dynasty is just an official promotion of this trend.

The King of Qin and his officials told the people seriously: Those who are unmoral will die, those who are unfilial to their father will be killed, and those who are not filial to their father will be killed, and those who encounter thieves will not help on the road! Those who are shaved with brothers will shave their beards! They steal things from neighbors to build the Great Wall!

The Emperor of Han and his officials were smiling. They said to the people: People must be filial and moral. Look at how filial the emperor is, how humble we are. People with morality can be respected and can be officials. Everyone should respect moral people.

The impacts of these two approaches are of course different. The moral education of the Han Dynasty made China a country of etiquette and focused on morality. At the same time, this also caused chaos in the later period. People deliberately made show and pursued the reputation of morality... But the Han Dynasty did not care about this. It promoted these not to gain a true moral gentleman, but to make the people pay attention to morality. As long as they achieved their goals, what is the show?

Will such filial piety and integrity cause incompetent people to serve as officials? Thinking about your friends too much, filial piety and integrity only gives you the qualification to study. Unless you are a famous scholar with good morals and talent, you still have to study hard and become an official after you are recognized. The ancients were not fools, and they also knew what the consequences would be if you had morality but no talent... The current military merit system of Qin State will lose a great role in the unified environment because there is no war.

The Han Dynasty used this method to cultivate talents and cultivate moral people into talented people, killing two birds with one stone.

What Zhao Kuo thought was, of course, not a complete reproduction of the Han Dynasty's education. He wanted to gather this moralism with the current Qin State. For example, if there is a gentleman with good morals in the place, he would get the opportunity to enter the school and get rewards, just like filial piety and honest. At the same time, the spirit of the law cannot be discarded, and it cannot be too relaxed like the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty. However, after completing a king of the world, it is indeed necessary to relax.

It will take at least fifty years to make the people completely become Qin people, and then they can gather the power of the country to do more things.

Moral education is essential, but morality cannot be just filial piety and humility. Dedication and other behaviors are worth rewarding... Zhao Kuo was thinking about the theory of governing the country that combines law and morality, while Li Si was full of laws covered with moral cloak, but the two could still talk, because Li Si would not express his true thoughts, nor would he be as persistent as Han Fei.

Zhao Kuo felt that if he told Han Fei about these things, he could compile a set of moral laws and force the people to implement them. However, moral education cannot be stipulated by the law, but it can only be an encouragement. It is right to encourage you to do this. It cannot be said that if you don’t do this, you will kill you.

Zhao Kuo and Li Si had been discussing it all day long until the next day, when Li Si respectfully bid farewell to Zhao Kuo and took the matter of enlightenment textbooks.

Zhao Kuo was in a very good mood. Walking on the street, looking at the people along the road, thinking about how to complete the transition from separatism to unity... When he walked to his doorstep, he was surprised to find that a thin half-aged child was chatting with Shan... The two were standing not far from the doorstep, Shan was talking something, and the little boy just listened and smiled foolishly from time to time.

At that moment, Zhao Kuo seemed to hear his heartbreaking voice.

His cabbage... met a little pig.

Resisting the urge to pinch the pig to death, Zhao Kuo turned around and continued to wander around. Walking on the streets of Xianyang, Zhao Kuo's thoughts were extremely confused. This may be something that every father with a daughter would experience. Thinking of the little boy being with Shan, his thoughts were full of thoughts, thinking that Shan would leave him one day, and his mood became even more depressed, accompanied by an inexplicable anger.

Zhao Kuo knew that this was a normal thing, but he still couldn't bear it. Under such an emotion, he turned around and came to Zhao Kang's home again.

Zhao Kang was coaxing the child. When he saw the father walking into the house, he walked up with a smile. The two sat down. Zhao Kang quickly noticed Zhao Kuo's complicated expression. He asked in surprise: "Father? What happened?"

"Nothing...nothing...by the way, why didn't you celebrate with Li Mu?"

"Hey, General Li Mu has been in General Wang Jian's mansion these days. The two talked happily and met too late..." Zhao Kang shook his head and said, "Even, they said they wanted to work together to formulate a military strategy..."

Zhao Kuo was stunned for a moment, and then frowned. He said, "I just saw Shan and a boy chatting around the corner..." Zhao Kang was stunned and quickly got up. He handed Zhao Xiu in his arms to Zhao Kuo, picked up the wooden stick from the side, and rushed out of the mansion. Zhao Kuo looked at him, but did not dissuade him... Well, it's nothing to do with me... It has nothing to do with me. Zhao Kuo thought about it, and teased the little grandson in his arms again.

Soon, the people of Xianyang were surprised to find that the demon king of the Wucheng Hou family began to beat people again. He was holding a wooden stick and chasing a boy, running around in Xianyang. Of course, the local officials quickly stopped Ma Fujun's illegal behavior and saved the boy's life... Zhao Kang was blocked by the officials, looked at the guy in the distance, and scolded angrily: "Don't let me see you again! Otherwise, my legs will be broken!"

.....

Meng Tian was contacting shooting skills in the mansion. Suddenly, he saw his breathless younger brother rushing into the courtyard and hurriedly closed the door. Then he leaned against the door and panting... Looking at his younger brother's appearance, Meng Tian put down the bow and arrow in his hand and asked curiously: "What? Is it being chased by a dog again?" Meng Yi looked at his brother, but hurriedly shook his head, lowered his head, and did not dare to speak.

Meng Ao and his family are both big and thick. Meng Wu is like this, and Meng Tian is like this. The general with a tiger-back and bear-back waist is the only one, Meng Yi, thin and handsome. After following his mother, this is also because Meng Tian firmly believes that his younger brother is not suitable for the battlefield. He is too thin... Seeing that his younger brother seems to be bullied, Meng Tian, ​​who has always liked to bully him, was a little angry. He came to Meng Yi and asked seriously: "What's going on?"

"No... nothing..."

"What does nothing mean? Who is chasing you?" Meng Tian frowned, pushed him open, opened the door, looked at the street, but there was no one. Faced with his brother's aggressiveness, Meng Yi blushed and said helplessly: "It's Zhao...Ma Fujun..."

"Zhao Kang?? How could a person as big as him chase you?" Meng Tian looked confused.

"Then...if I tell you, you won't tell anyone?"

"good..."

"You swear?"

"I swear not to tell anyone."

"I like Wu Chenghou's daughter Shan... She is very interesting... very beautiful..." Meng Yi said nervously, trembling all over. When he saw his brother widening his eyes, Meng Tian understood why Zhao Kang beat him up. Meng Tian nodded and looked at the inner room. He shouted: "Father!!!"

That day, the young Meng Yi learned two principles. The first principle was not to fall in love early, otherwise everyone would be beaten, and his father beat him so hard that he could hardly get up. The second principle was that the oaths his brother gave to his brother were farts, so he could not believe it.

......

Sitting at home, Zhao Kang frowned, Shan stood not far away, lowered his head and wiped his tears, while Zhao Kang was angry, gritted his teeth, and cursed: "If that kid hadn't run fast, I would have beaten him to death!" Yi was still persuading Kang to not be angry, but Zhao Kang became more and more excited as he spoke. Yi looked at Zhao Kuo helplessly, and Zhao Kuo scolded: "What a big man, he is still so impulsive!"

Facing his father, Zhao Kang lowered his head helplessly, but he was still very angry.

"Don't do this anymore... Your sister has grown up, if you fight like this, what will she do in the future?" Zhao Kuo said for a moment, and suddenly became silent again. Yi pulled Shan away, leaving only father and son. Zhao Kang shook his head and said, "Father... I understand what you said, but when I saw that boy, I was angry and wanted to beat him. Oh, you said, why did Shan grow up... Why is it so fast?"

Zhao Kuo narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you know whose child it is?"

"If you didn't recognize it, Shan must know... Why don't you ask and let's go there again..."

"Nothing!"

"Stop worrying about this matter... I have some ideas about the cavalry problem you mentioned. In a few days, I will take you to meet the people from the Mo family and ask them to help you find a solution. I just have an idea and don't know how to do it. They may help you... If it can be completed smoothly, the next world will be the cavalry world..." Zhao Kuo forced his ideas to the military.
Chapter completed!
