Li Si finally completed the matter that Zhao Kuo entrusted to Li Si.

Li Si looked at Zhao Kuo in front of him respectfully and placed the enlightenment textbook he had completed in front of him. There were ten enlightenment textbooks written by Li Si, called "Cangjie Pian". The fonts were made by Zhao Kuo, and the content was simple and easy to understand according to Zhao Kuo's requirements, telling the principles of dealing with people, interspersing the faults of celebrities, and reading them easily.

Zhao Kuo was surprised to find that his and Xunzi's deeds were reflected more in the book. He looked at Li Si in front of him, but did not point out his little thoughts. When Zhao Kuo saw this, Li Si seemed to understand his thoughts. He shook his head and said helplessly: "Please forgive me, I did not deliberately flatter him, but you are the most suitable candidate... I just completed it truthfully..."

Zhao Kuo did not pretend to be noble and wanted to scold Li Si. He didn't care. He looked through it for a while and read it. Li Si did it very well, without repeating it for a few thousand words, and it was well written and easy to understand, and added some stories. Zhao Kuo was very satisfied. He did not think that Li Si could complete so many things in such a quick time. He couldn't help but exclaim: "Okay, I need to think about the content of a year. You only took a few months."

"It's thanks to the help of others." Li Si said seriously, not daring to take credit at all. He asked his retainers to bring someone to the mansion. Zhao Kuo was also a little curious. He knew Li Si's talent for hard work. The people who could help him were probably also very outstanding. The two chatted for a while and saw a young man who looked like Dong Chengzi staggeringly walked in.

The young man is not old, but his figure is a bit out of shape.

The young man had a sense of arrogance on his face. He looked up at Li Si in front of him and asked carelessly: "Senior brother, didn't you say you could let me rest for a few days? A gentleman should keep his promise!" As he was talking, Li Si was furious, stood up, and scolded loudly: "How dare you be so rude in front of Marquis of Wucheng?" The young man was stunned and hurriedly looked at Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo was also looking at him, and the young man's face became serious and he leaned over to bow to Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo stood up to return the gift. The young man hurriedly avoided it and did not dare to bear it. Seeing that he became honest, Li Si asked him to sit on the side and said helplessly to Zhao Kuo: "This is my fellow disciple, the teacher's most proud disciple. When the teacher was still alive, he wrote me a letter asking me to take care of him..." Li Si looked at him and signaled him to introduce himself. The young man stood up again and said, "Zhang Cang pays homage to Marquis Wu Cheng."

"Zhang Cang..." Zhao Kuo was stunned for a moment, and he suddenly remembered that this person was also a capable man, and his talent was not inferior to Li Si. He was very knowledgeable and proficient in all aspects. From law, agriculture, astronomy, calendar, and arithmetic, there was almost nothing he was not proficient in. He was the prime minister in the early Han Dynasty... He was also a disciple of Xunzi, and was considered Li Si's junior brother. Zhao Kuo nodded and said, "Yes, did you write this?"

"Yeah, I helped write some of them..."

"Hahaha, no wonder they all praised Xunzi. It turned out that they were written by Xunzi's two disciples!" Zhao Kuo made a joke. Zhang Cang thought that Zhao Kuo was a very serious person, but after he found out that he was so approachable, he also let go of his restraint. Li Si told Zhao Kuo that shortly after Zhang Cang came to Qin, he was promoted because of his outstanding talents and is currently in charge of various documents and archives in the palace.

Good guy, Qin State Library administrator?

In China, librarians seem to be very good... Zhao Kuo understood a little why he would become an all-round prime minister in the future. Maybe it was because of this experience. He spent every day in the library. Can he not be knowledgeable? Li Si also said the same thing. This guy likes reading very much. It is because he likes reading too much and is obsessed with his work. Li Si is very worried that one day he will make a big mistake because he is addicted to studying.

"Want to read?"

Zhao Kuo looked at Zhang Cang and said with a smile: "If you think you still want to continue studying, then quit your official position and come to my house. I have all kinds of books there, and I can also borrow any book. If you neglect government affairs because of your study, it is a serious crime, and Li Si can't protect you." In Qin, neglecting government affairs is indeed a serious crime, especially absent from work. You may be sentenced to labor reform, and then you have to build a ten-year Great Wall and other things.

If someone like Zhang Cang works, it would probably be more serious if he was killed. After all, this body of fat is not easy to walk.

Sure enough, Zhang Cang was very excited when he heard Zhao Kuo's words. He looked at Li Si, as if he wanted Li Si to help him make a decision. Li Si sighed in his heart, "You are still hesitating for such a good opportunity?" Although Li Si and Zhang Cang were of the same school, Li Si's relationship with him was not so close. Li Si just didn't hate him and thought he could help him. However, in front of Zhao Kuo, he still had to show more kindness.

Because he understood Zhao Kuo's personality, Zhao Kuo's views were also very important to become the prime minister of Qin.

"Don't you thank Marquis Wu Cheng?"

"Thank you, Marquis Wu Cheng!" Zhang Cang no longer hesitated. In Qin, it is generally not allowed to resign from his official position, unless it is a disease or injury. However, it is okay for Li Yuan to tell the King of Qin in Zhang Cang. Zhao Kuo talked about the matter of enlightenment textbooks again. Since the textbooks have been compiled, they have to be promoted. Li Si can't help with the promotion, and Li Si is still busy.

However, Lu Buwei can help, after all, this does not require any effort, only a few commands are required.

The Three Old System is indeed a good system. In the evolution of all dynasties, it has been constantly developing. A dynasty that did nothing and was the first to be stupid turned the Three Old System into hereditary, but it made the Three Old System a notorious. The Three Old System is not hereditary, nor is it a local tyrant. The power of appointing and dismissal is in the hands of the government, and they are responsible for contacting the government and the people. Combined with the promotion of moral filial piety and fertility system, the Three Old System can play a greater role, not just as simple as appeaseing the people.

The Qin State began to implement the system of the Three Elders. Starting from Xianyang, officials rushed to the countryside to select suitable people, be famous, be moral, and most importantly, be obedient... The people in all places were very surprised, and the elderly who were favored were even more so. Many of their titles were not too high, and they did not expect that such good things would happen. For the Three Elders, the government did not pay salaries, which was just a status, not an official position.

But such a status is often what many people desire.

In the Sanjin and other areas, many grassroots problems caused by the shortage of officials began to disappear with the development of the Three Old System. The most famous old man in the village came to tell the people about the benevolence and righteousness of Qin and the concept of grand unification, which was more effective than the officials who talked about it for a year... The system of filial piety and brotherhood, which is the system of encouraging morality and rewarding virtue, after its implementation, also washed away some of the negative images of Qin.

Qin was tyrannical in the eyes of the six countries, but when he began to advocate benevolence, righteousness and morality and was willing to set an example, the situation was a little different.

Confucians came to Qin, and the King of Qin also ordered that these foreign Confucians be allowed to watch, but they must abide by the laws of Qin in Qin... In order to avoid them inspiring the people or infiltrating spies, Qin also asked officials to accompany these Confucians to watch. Qin has always welcomed Confucians. When Xunzi came to Qin, the King of Qin even came to greet him in person and took him to visit.

Fan Ju and Lu Buwei have always wanted to win over more talents, and there are still quite a lot of Confucian talents.

But this time, there were quite a lot of Confucians who came to Qin. The purpose of these people came to Qin was to see moral education. Confucianism has always advocated moral governance. They first asked the three elders in the village, and then visited the good families who were rewarded for morality. Of course, there were also local officials from Qin to tell us about how they loved the people, how they ruled morally, and visited the widows on time, helping the poor.

These changes in Qin made the Confucians cheered. They believed that this was the victory of Confucianism. Although the whole thing had nothing to do with Confucianism from its appearance to its execution, they were still willing to think so. Of course, not all Confucians thought so. Although Qin put a set of moral cloak on itself, there was no change in its inner world. It was still the "tyrannical Qin" that restricted the people from all aspects.

Many Confucians of the factions expressed disappointment with the Qin State. They felt that the Qin State used moral education as a tool rather than as their core idea. However, not all schools are like this. Confucians can already see the situation in the world. Qin State is a king of the world. This is certain. Wucheng Hou almost destroyed Chu State after tens of thousands of people. In a few years, Wucheng Hou will bring 100,000 people over there. Can Chu State withstand it?

Even the child king of Qi had seen something wrong. He let the Prime Minister Housheng clean up his army and deal with the troubles. Although he was not clear about it, he obviously realized the danger. He could see that Confucians could do it. In such an era, it was a foolish decision to resist Qin and reject Qin. The current actions of Qin were to release goodwill to Confucianism. This was a good opportunity!

Embrace Qin, change Qin, and let Qin support Confucianism!

Confucian disciples took on this idea and became officials in Qin. For these cultural people, the "judicial examination" was not difficult, and the entry of these people actually solved the problem of officials in some places. This was what the King of Qin did not expect. The current composition of the official group of Qin is still very complicated, but this is not a bad thing... The most common ones are of course the Legalists, with most officials headed by Han Fei and Li Si.

They are all supporters of the Legalists, and they are willing to enforce the law fairly locally. Because of the emergence of medical officials, medical officials have also joined the official system, and their number is also quite large. Because Qin State set up these medical officials in the township unit, they are responsible for treating local people, and they are also good supervisors, educaters, and popularizers. In other words, they are all "political committees".

The people have a good impression of these medical officers and are willing to listen to them.

In addition, these Mohist officials were constantly inventing and creating better equipment. Military officers trained their soldiers and prepared for war. There were also many officials from various schools, distributed in various places. Of course, the officials of the farmer family were also participating in local governance. Now, with the outstanding Confucianism, the official composition of Qin State was further expanded. Zhao Kuo was very happy. The academic scholars of hundreds of schools of thought exerted their energy in Qin State at the same time. This is the controversy among hundreds of schools of thought!!

These Confucian officials had high moral requirements, so when Qin State encouraged officials to govern morally, they had more opportunities to show. Faced with the large number of Confucian scholars coming in, the ministers were a little uneasy, and some people suggested to the King of Qin, hoping to make restrictions. However, the King of Qin said angrily: "One king of the world, the people of the world are all Qin people, and the academics of the world are all Qin, so how can they be treated differently?"

Shang Yang took a long time to open up the Qin academic system, which was the only Legalist scholar, began to suffer damage, but this new system that absorbed hundreds of schools of thought was not a bad thing.

After leaving Li Si's mansion, Zhang Cang became a regular visitor to Zhao Kuo's family. He always came to Zhao Kuo's house to borrow books and read... Zhao Kuo found that his math level was very high, even higher than Zhao Kuo... This was a bit embarrassing, but it also showed that Zhang Cang's excellence was. In addition to his research on mathematics, including law, history, systems, weights and measures, he even talked to Zhao Kuo about the formulation of weights and measures.

"Inch, rule, zhang, add one digit below the inch, and add one priming above the zhang, all are ten-point..." Zhang Cang proposed to use the decimal weights and measures, and formulated five units. Zhao Kuo listened carefully. The weights and measures are actually three things, namely the length unit, the capacity unit, and the weight unit. Zhang Cang proposed to use "龙, 龙, 龙, 龙, 龙, 龙, 龙, 龙, 龙, 龙, 龙, 龙, 龙, 龙, 龙, 龙, 龙, 龙, 龙, 龙, 龙, 龙, 龙, 龙, 龙, 龙, 龙, 龙, 龙, 龙, 龙, 龙

In terms of weight units, there are "zhu, two, jin, jin, jin, and stone", these five units.

Zhao Kuo suddenly discovered a problem. Han Fei was a pure theoretical scholar, while Li Si was a pure practical practitioner. Zhang Cang, who was between the two, knew both theory and could do practical work... In history, it was really admirable that Xunzi could teach such three disciples.

Just as everything is moving in a good direction, a new news breaks such tranquility.

The Liaodong Hu people of Yan State launched a rebellion and attacked the Yan State's army. The Yan King's army was defeated by these Hu people and fled into the royal city in a hurry. The rest of the places were all fallen. What surprised everyone was that these Hu people actually sent people to Qin State to ask Qin State to support them and annex them... The reform steps of Yan State seemed to have taken too much, and suddenly it caused many conflicts hidden in the country.

During the rebellion, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom was killed by the Hu people, and the Yan Kingdom was on the verge of extinction.
