Ying Zheng originally thought that these old Confucian scholars who were looked down upon by Xunzi came here to speak out, so even if he called Han Fei, he thought that if the other party dared to talk nonsense in front of him, saying that the rituals and music of Jingtian and Gongtian, then Han Fei would definitely teach them to be a human being and let them know why the Legalists were the boss. The replies to Zhou Li as these old Confucian scholars were not simply to return to the era of feudal system, or to restore the Nine Cauldrons of the Emperor.

Their original demands, but to return to the early Zhou Dynasty, were to not allow private ownership of land, not allow contact between the lower and the higher levels, not give the common people a passage to climb up, etc. This was a serious regression. It was precisely because of this that Xunzi was also very angry, thinking that they could not learn the essence by imitating the appearance of a saint. Xunzi commented so, "The hat was crooked and the words were dull, learning Yu's limpness, learning Shun's quick departure... a lowly Confucian scholar!"

They just imitate the appearance of sages, but they cannot understand the essence. Because Yu walked with a lame walk, they wanted everyone to walk with a lame walk.

Therefore, these retro Confucian scholars were not afraid to jump out of these Xunzi. They came to Xianyang this time and were full of confidence and thought they had finally had a time to show their talents. However, they did not expect that just when they arrived outside Xianyang, an old farmer taught them a lesson. From the various schools of thought to the current social situation, these knowledgeable and famous old scholars found that they were like young children, so ignorant in front of each other.

This directly destroyed the confidence of these old scholars and made them doubt themselves. We shouldn't be so incompetent, right? They lived in seclusion for a long time, but now they dared to come out in peace. They are not very clear about the changes in the world. In such a confused state, they all want to escape from here and do not want to humiliate themselves. Unfortunately, although they are "bad Confucians", they are also Confucians, and they also have the courage of Confucians.

The old man scolded their timidity, and they came to the palace with their faces covered.

When they saw Han Fei sitting next to the King of Qin, they felt even more frightened. When they were still in Qilu, they threatened to help Han Fei modify his mistakes. However, after these frogs in the well poked their heads out for the first time and saw the eagle soaring in the sky, they were scared. Facing this famous Han Feizi, they were particularly restrained and could only reluctantly say the words of benevolence and righteousness.

Ying Zheng was a little disappointed. He looked at Han Fei beside him. It was like you heard that a wolves were about to attack, and then he found a tiger to help you fight off the wolves. In the end, a few cats came, acting cute and crazy at you. In this case, will the tiger bit him to death? Or should he look at them with a confused look on his face?

Han Fei instinctively wanted to bite the Confucian scholar in front of him to death, but he held it back again. After all, what they said was not too much. Although benevolent politics was not the Legalist's opinion, Zhao Kuo has always been obsessed with it. Han Fei dared not object on the surface and refute the teacher's face. So Han Fei could only remain silent. After a moment of stunned silence, Ying Zheng also laughed and said kindly to the Confucian scholar in front of him: "Okay, I'm taught."

Ying Zheng did not have much prejudice against Confucianism. Now that they are so aware of the current affairs, Ying Zheng is even happier. The officials of Qin are not enough. As the second academic group second only to the Legalists, Ying Zheng still hopes to find some people from the Confucian talent pool to help him. Although Confucian disciples are not as rigorous as the Legalists, they receive courtesy and treat others with courtesy, and have relatively outstanding personal morality.

Legal disciples probably dare not be corrupt and abuse the law, but if the law does not prohibit it, they will not pay attention to it. For example, the Qin law does not stipulate that the safety of the people of other countries is to protect the safety of the people of other countries, so when the Legal disciples encounter refugees from other countries, they will not pay attention to it. However, Confucian disciples will not stand by and watch. They demand themselves with a high sense of morality, and these people can still use it.

When several old Confucian scholars saw the gentle attitude of the Qin King, they were no longer so nervous. In order to show their respect for them, the Qin King even rewarded them with several levels of titles and invited them to work in future universities. Several great Confucian scholars were ecstatic and thanked them and praised their merits. Ying Zheng instantly changed from the Qin King to a wise king, comparable to Yao and Shun.

Ying Zheng smiled and sent them away. As soon as he saw them away, Han Fei said angrily: "You set a very bad precedent. What are their achievements? Can you get your reward? What kind of talents do they have and are worthy of teaching in the Imperial Academy?" Ying Zheng had long thought that Han Fei would be angry because he thought so in his heart. Ying Zheng and Han Fei have very similar tempers, and their views on many things are surprisingly consistent.

However, Ying Zheng was no longer the original Ying Zheng. After receiving a lot of education, he became more calm. The King of Qin looked at Han Fei as if the new King of Qin was looking at the old King of Qin. Ying Zheng calmly said: "I know that they have no contributions and know that they have no talents. But they represent the Confucian scholars in the world to pay homage to me. I respect them and don't reward them."

"Isn't it worth it to keep a few wine bags and eat bags, and hundreds of thousands of Confucian scholars can serve me?"

Han Fei was a little speechless. From the perspective of the Legalists, Ying Zheng's behavior should be scolded, but from the perspective of the king, it seems that he cannot be said to be wrong, because the king always considers the greatest interests, and the Legalists and the king are not the same thing.

In the following days, the Qin State was discussing new systems and etiquette. This time, no Confucian scholars foolishly came to persuade the Qin King to Fengshan, nor did they persuade the Qin King to resume Zhou Li. The old Confucians were quietly and prepared. No matter what Ying Zheng said, they could find a legal basis for Ying Zheng. Ying Zheng abandoned the title of emperor and took out a brand new title and called him the emperor.

The virtues are combined with the three emperors, and the merits are bound by the five emperors. How domineering and how confident is this.

The Qin people didn't care about this title. They just wanted to be called, so they didn't care about these things. The rest of the school was a little shocked. The first one was Confucianism. Confucianism believed that this title was too much, and the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors did not take it seriously. How arrogant it was. However, when Ying Zheng reused many great Confucian scholars and summoned Confucian scholars in various places in Qi and Lu to enrich local officials and govern the local area for him, the Confucianism changed its tone.

How could this be because of looking down on the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors? This is obviously admiring the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and trying to imitate the saints, what ambition is this!

Ying Zheng, who was originally on the historical line, ignored these big mouths. As long as they dared to shout, ha, do you see if my fire is hot? Do you see if my knife is fast? This is very domineering, but it completely offended the Confucian school with the most abundant savings. Many people think that Confucianism really flourished after Emperor Wu of Han, but this statement is not true. Confucianism has been developing with all its strength since Confucius, and almost every era, they can show their studies side by side.

Many schools have had glory and finally fell lonely, but Confucianism is at the top and second position and can't be defeated. They can change themselves according to the requirements of different eras, so they are also the first contestant to rush to the finish line in a unified car. Their savings are very large. According to records, the number of disciples of the eight Confucian schools far exceeds that of other schools. There are many Confucian scholars in various countries, and they are extremely powerful through teaching methods that are not different from teaching.

Ying Zheng’s current approach is to compromise with Confucianism in disguise and reach a consensus. Although it lacks the domineering spirit of the First Emperor, it has more of the strategies of the hero.

Soon, a Confucian scholar wrote an article, "There are the gods of Fuxi, the merits of Shennong, and the virtues of Shaodian... Taihao, Yan Emperor, Huang Emperor, Shaohao, and Zhuanxu..." This article shows that Ying Zheng's merits are comparable to the three emperors and reach the sum of the five emperors. It can be said that Ying Zheng has brought Ying Zheng to an extremely high position. After determining the emperor's title, Ying Zheng's ministers proposed some etiquettes that determine the demonstration of imperial power.

For example, the emperor wants to call himself me, but the rest cannot call him me anymore.

The emperor's order was called the imperial edict... Others wanted to call the emperor his majesty, and the emperor died when he died. They made a lot of strange things and laid the foundation for the mainstream for thousands of years. Zhao Kuo was a little familiar with these. All the titles from later generations seemed to be decided at this moment. The ministers were very concerned about these, but Zhao Kuo was unwilling to pay attention to them. He was still busy with his own affairs every day.

Take a look at the school affairs, go to the farmland with Zhan to see the situation, and discuss the possibility of advanced agricultural equipment with the Mohist school.

Wu Hua of the Mohist family was working on a machine that could sow seeds. He tried many times, but he declared a failure. When Zhao Kuo heard about this, he came to help. The two of them discussed together how to build a seed machine that was both labor-saving and convenient. At this time, Zhao Kuo regretted it very much. Why didn’t he study science at the beginning? Even if he recorded more farm tools from later generations? He lived in a big city since he was a child, and he knew nothing about these.

However, Zhao Kuo has been working here for decades, and with his broader horizon than his contemporaries, he can think of many things. In Wuhua's design, he was planning to design a plough-like thing. At the bottom of the plough, the seeds fell directly on the ground after breaking the soil, but the number of seeds falling cannot be controlled. If the plough goes too slowly or too fast, there will be big problems, and this will not improve much efficiency.

Because there is another person who wants to follow the car and bulldoze constantly.

In the Mo family courtyard, Wu Fu looked at the simple and huge new farm tools in front of him, and had no words for a long time. Zhao Kuo sat quietly aside. Both of them looked at the big guy in front of him, thinking. They had been sitting here like this for a long time, from the initial excited negotiations to the current silent thinking. The Mo people walked around them, but they did not dare to disturb them, but just lowered their heads and did not dare to make a sound.

“Plowing may really not be suitable for sowing…”

Zhao Kuo suddenly spoke, Wu Fu was stunned, sighed, and said, "You are right, then I won't be attached to these things..." The two of them were about to stand up, but they saw a young Mo family disciple standing not far away, wanting to speak but stopping. Looking at his appearance, Wu Fu asked him to come and asked, "Tell me, what happened?" The young man pondered for a moment, his face turned red, and he said tremblingly, "I have some solutions to the seed machine."

As soon as he spoke, several Mozhes were a little angry not far away. They frowned and said unhappily: "You are just a champion, how dare you say such things in front of the giant!" No matter what era, seniority exists. Zhao Kuo and Wuhua have a very high status. Neither of them can solve the problem. What can this child say? How dare you speak nonsense here?!

The Mo people probably think that the young people's behavior is disrespectful to Zhao Kuo and Wufu, and it is also a humiliation to them. If he really does it, it may be a greater humiliation. After all, Zhao Kuo and Wufu have not made this thing for more than a month. Zhao Kuo didn't think so. He looked at the somewhat immature young man in front of him. The young man was afraid and dared not say anything more under the sarcasm of other Mo people.

Zhao Kuo gave the young man a very gentle smile and asked, "What's your name? Who are you from?"

"I call Zhao Su... I am from Handan."

"Oh? Where is the home in Handan?" Zhao Kuo's eyes lit up.

"The people of Xishan, Handan..."

"Hahaha, this is my fellow villager. Mafu Mountain and Xi Mountain are only ten miles away..." Zhao Kuo said happily, and called the young man to his side, asking him to boldly express his thoughts. When the young man wanted to write, he started to write. No, he started to draw. He first drew a plow, similar to a triangular plowshare, but smaller, with a high ridge in the middle. He inserted the drill into two holes on the instep of the carriage and tied it to the crossbar.

"Look, in this way, the plows penetrate deep into the ground, and the seeds are sown by the feet, so they can be planted deep in the soil... The feet dig into the flat land and sow seeds, covering and suppressing at the same time, killing each other... With a cow, the efficiency should be very high..." Zhao Su frowned and said seriously. At first, Wu Yu didn't care, but as he painted more and said more carefully, he became more and more serious.

Zhao Kuo widened his eyes, as if... he was right, this is indeed feasible!

When the young man completed the first draft, a group of ink artists couldn't help but start making it. With the cooperation of everyone, new farm tools soon appeared. The new farm tools looked a bit strange, like plows but not plows. They quickly tried them on the farmland. The first time they failed because they made this thing too big, but one failure did not mean anything. They tried it several times in a row.

When everyone stood beside the plowing land, watching the new farm tools being pulled by the plowing ox, and the seeds fell and then covered the soil without stopping... Everyone was stunned. Zhao Kuo was inexplicably excited. The effect of this thing was greater than what he imagined!

If Zhao Kuo hadn't slept in history class, he might have understood that this was called a carriage, which was a new agricultural tool that appeared two hundred years later.

The emergence of this thing has directly increased the agricultural efficiency countless times, reaching the terrible level of "planting one hectares a day".

This is why the Han Dynasty was able to support so many armies with low taxes.

In Xianyang, the princes and ministers were preparing for the emperor's throne ceremony.
