Chapter 460 It shouldn't be like this

What Fusu thought was that the scene of the people of the seven countries moving towards peace and prosperity together did not appear... The Chu people were very resistant to Qin. They often missed the general Xiang Yan privately and even sacrificed him. Fusu was half a Chu person and had the blood of the Chu royal family, but this was useless. According to bloodline, many of the kings of Qin were half a Chu person, and they didn't see how polite these people were to Chu.

Fusu discovered for the first time that the world was not as beautiful as he thought. The Chu people had a very low sense of identity with Qin and dared not say anything on the surface, but in private, they still complained and missed. The seven countries were probably like this. Although the people could not die for the country like the generals, they dared not resist. Can't they remain silent? Many of the Qin systems are difficult to implement in the local area.

It is because of the people's discooperation, and facing these troublemakers, the officials of Qin sometimes could only use some cold-blooded methods. In Fusu's view, there were many cruel officials in Chu, and these cruel officials were precisely the people who maintained peace here. It is precisely because of their cruel and harsh means that the Chu people did not act more excessively and could only be forced to cooperate. Over the years, Confucianism has been talking about benevolent politics, including Zhao Kuo.

Fusu always felt that if he was to govern the world himself, he would definitely follow the method of educating the people with morality, so that there would be no more cruel officials in the world. However, when it came to specifics, moral education was not as good as the law. The Chu people could elect a few people themselves, and then the local authorities decided who to appoint them. These three elders summoned the people all day long to preach the theory of unity and personal morality to them.

But some people are still willing to do something that violates Qin's law. Only when Qin's sword cuts off the heads of these people, the rest of them tighten their necks and dare not do anything arbitrarily anymore.

In Kuaiji, not many people knew Fusu's identity. Apart from Zhao Kang, only his county magistrate knew that he was a young man called Cao Shen. Zhao Kang was busy and could not take care of Fusu, so he asked this young man who was deeply trusted to be responsible for protecting Fusu. Fusu was originally in charge of Youyuan and counted grain production several times, but found problems. However, he had no way to write to him, and the officials above were unwilling to pay attention to him.

Everyone refused each other. In anger, he wrote to Zhao Kang directly, but he did not wait for Zhao Kang's reply. The county officials were very angry about his letter to Zhao Kang's higher than his level. He fell from rank to the position of the inner prison gate... These were not considered officials, but were guarding the gate inside and outside. Here, Fusu was favored by the people, and the people were very fond of this young man who was willing to plead for them.

He was often invited to live in his home. When Fusu's mother was Chen, these people were even happier. When Fusu was eating at the people's house, he often heard the people complain, "When the Qin law has not yet prohibited us from eating, we should eat more." Fusu smiled bitterly. Of course, he understood what the people meant. The reason why the Chu people had such a great resistance was because they could not adapt to the harshness of the Qin law.

The Chu people are very romantic. Think about it, they also have a special festival. Men and women will go out on this day to find someone who will make them moved, and then have a shot. Young people are waiting for the arrival of this day every year. They long for beautiful love in their hearts. They will find ways to put on makeup and make themselves look better. The men sit in the carriage, sing loudly, and let the carriage take them to any place. The women are standing on the road. When they see the unmarried man they like, they jump into his car.

But in Qin Lu's opinion, these are simply lawless. They don't farm day by day, sing here? They grab and shave their beards! They don't farm day by day, dress up and court them here? They grab and shave their beards! In short, when Qin, a rigorous country, encountered the innocent and romantic country of Chu, the country with a little bit of 2, the cultural conflicts were obvious. The old Qin people were used to being poor, and there were only two things in their lives, farming and war.

Of course, the lives of the Chu people are more stylish, which is probably the reason why Chu Ci was born in this country. If you ask the old Qin people to sing a lyrics like Chu Ci, you will find it strange and seem to be something wrong. Although Zhao Kuo is already trying to change the way of Qin and wants to make the lives of the Qin people rich and colorful, his institutional reform has not been completed, and the loose law is also underway.

Only by abandoning the identity of a young master, Fusu gradually integrated into this real world. This is different from what the Confucian scholars said. Local people have no interest in etiquette and so-called moral education. They care more about food and clothes. They hope to have more children. They hope to have lower taxes and do not want to go to labor service. Fusu gradually became a noble son and an official at the bottom.

During this period, he really saw a lot. He saw the officials' rampant appearance, he saw the flattery of superiors by the officials at the bottom, he saw how the bullied people cursed Qin, and he saw a lot of things that could not be seen in the sun. What surprised Fusu was that Zhao Kang treated him completely as an ordinary official, and refused to even accept him and ignored his letter.

Fusu understood that Zhongfu was deliberately trying to temper himself.

Fusu gradually became like other officials. When facing superior officials, he would face them with a smile. When encountering some things, he would close his eyes, pretend not to know, and occasionally keep gifts with his colleagues. Such changes made local officials accept him quickly. The officials called him a selves because he was too young. Even if he lied about his age, there was still an immature face that could not be hidden.

He joined the officials, and went from a noble young man to a lower-level official with a smile on his face. Such changes made the local people a little disappointed with him and no longer willing to invite him to his mansion, but Fusu met many colleagues. The colleagues told him drunk, young people, this is reality. You were so reckless that you would only make your head blow blood. How great is it now? The nobles are happy and we are happy. Isn’t this enough? Why do you still cause trouble for yourself?

Fusu nodded and poured fine wine from Xianyang to the people.

Fusu quickly rose from prison to an orderly position. After several major competitions, the rest of the people deliberately gave in to her. They even made up a schedule, who is the first this year, who is the second, who is the first next year, who is the first to cheat together and support each other... Fusu was promoted from the village to the county, becoming the youngest official in Kuaiji County, good at drinking and flattering... Until one day, Zhao Kang came here to inspect.

At the banquet, the smile on the young Fusu's face suddenly disappeared. He stood up, walked to the middle, bowed to Zhao Kang, and said, "Go to the county magistrate, I have something to report." Zhao Kang looked at him coldly, as if he had never known him. The officials at the table changed their faces and widened their eyes and looked at Fusu. At that moment, Fusu took out all the crimes he had collected over the past few days.

From the countryside to the county, he reported more than 40 officials of all sizes.

Zhao Kang's face was gloomy and he stared at the officials around him. The rest of the officials were trembling. Some of them even sat on the ground. A county magistrate stood up and pointed at Fusu and said, "This is a traitor!" The county magistrate looked at Zhao Kang and said seriously: "I heard that this guy has a good relationship with the people of Chu. He often said that his mother was a Chu person... I predict that he must be a nobleman in Chu. He wanted to rebel against Qin and restore Chu!"

"I have a lot of evidence of his corruption and bribery, and secretly winning over the people!" The county magistrate shouted angrily.

Zhao Kang was a little stunned. He glanced at the county magistrate in a complicated manner and asked, "Are you saying he rebelled against Qin and rebuked Chu?"

The county magistrate nodded seriously and said, "I have evidence, and he has repeatedly told that his mother is from Chu..."

"Bastard!! My mother is from Chu, but I want to restore Chu?! Then do you think I want to restore Zhao?!" Zhao Kang couldn't bear it and grabbed the county magistrate's neck and threw him out like a chicken. The county magistrate could not bear this. Zhao Kang threw it in the middle, dizzy. Then Zhao Kang stood up, looked at the officials around him like a lion, and ordered: "Catch them all!"

The soldiers rushed in and caught everyone in amid the cries.

In the original banquet, there were only two people, Zhao Kang and Fusu. Fusu's face was solemn, and there was no longer the appearance of the slick little official. Zhao Kang narrowed his eyes, looked at him, shook his head helplessly, and he said, "I thought you had surrendered."

"The great father once said: Justice will never surrender."

"So everything you have before is to find their crimes... to grasp the evidence? Ha, in the end, you still haven't learned anything..." Zhao Kang suddenly became serious and said, "Do you think I don't know what these people look like? What officials in the whole world are not like this? But, they did not make any big mistakes, so I can endure it because I still need to use them to govern the place..."

"Do you know how much trouble you have caused me? After all these people are dealt with, who else is willing to serve as an official? How should I manage the place? Do I do it myself? I asked you to the bottom of the house, originally wanted to let you understand that black and white is wrong. Sometimes you should be smart and sometimes you will be confused, but you will be fine, and you will knock out all the officials in one of my county... This year's competition will be completely destroyed."

Zhao Kang shook his head. He didn't expect that Fusu was so stubborn, and his appointment had a counterproductive effect. He wanted to see clearly, but the child was so cruel to himself and shot himself in the foot.

Fusu looked at Zhongfu solemnly, and shook his head and said, "I don't think so. What is wrong is wrong, and what is right is right. Those who make mistakes, no matter the size of the mistake, should be dealt with, and those who have made contributions, no matter the size of the money, should also be rewarded... If you use such people to govern the place and secretly promise their mistakes, this is not possible."

"The great father once said: Through dirty water, the big tree of justice cannot be watered. How can we pursue the result of justice with injustice?"

"Are all officials like this? Should they be like this?" Fusu's voice grew louder and louder, and he said, "When I came to Kuaiji, I had met a just official. I met an official called Xi. He seriously interrogated my identity, did not ask for money, enforced the law impartially, but was excluded... I don't believe that it would be wrong to deal with these evil people."

"Indulging such officials is to disrespect officials like Xi! It is to insult them!" Fusu became more and more excited as he spoke. He suddenly stood up and sweared: "One day, I will change all this! If it cannot be done, I will not be a human being!" Hearing Fusu's loud voice, Zhao Kang was not excited at all. He lowered his head and said helplessly: "You have not learned anything from me..."

"No, I learned how to distinguish officials and how to deal with them."

"I will never tolerate his faults with a person's talent... Even a person with the talent of the great father must not despise the law or act recklessly! They all say that reality is like this, but I know that reality should not be like this!"

Zhao Kang looked at the young man in front of him, looked at his surging blood, and was indifferent, but said calmly: "Okay, then you should be responsible for the affairs of this county for the time being. In two months, if the affairs of the county cannot return to their original appearance, I will load you up in a prison cart and send you back to Xianyang."

"only!"

Zhao Kang left here and sat in the carriage. The young Cao Shen grinned and said, "Young master is a kind and righteous person." Zhao Kang nodded, "I know that he treats people generously and has a kind heart, but... he is too upright and strong, and I just worry that it will be easily broken if it is too strong..." Cao Shen is Zhao Kang's confidant, because the two of them have similar personalities, both young and brave, and they don't like... studying, so Zhao Kang has a very good relationship with him.

Cao Shen asked with a smile: "With you here, who dares to break him?"

"Hehe, he is so much younger than me, and I can't protect him all the time."

"No obstacle, if you are gone one day, I can protect you."

"You wish I could die sooner? And you are the one who doesn't know a lot of big words, and you still want to protect the prince? Please read a few books first."

"Alas... I thought about studying hard at the beginning. At that time, there was a famous genius in the county who had already read at the age of three or four. My father took him out every day to compare with me. I began to hate studying... Anyway, I couldn't read others, so what's the use of studying? Sooner or later, I want my family to be useless just to learn, and I don't believe that his achievements can be higher than mine!"

"I will definitely humiliate him when I meet in the future!"

"What's his name?"

"Um?"

"That genius, can't he be called Zhang Cang?"

"No, call me Xiao He."

"Then I won't recognize you, don't worry, if we have the opportunity, we will fight with the barbarians and accumulate military achievements. Your future achievements will definitely be above him."
