An inventory of the sinners who have subjugated the country in the past dynasties, Lao Zhu’s number

Chapter 48



【Shang Yang believes that only by making the people insensitive, unable to think, and become a walking dead tool can the country become rich and powerful quickly.】

【Only by keeping the people insecure can the people be absolutely attached to the king, and can the people always feel the threat of invasion by other countries. Only then can the people feel the warmth and greatness of the monarch, and can they work for him wholeheartedly. There is no second-mindedness, only Foolish loyalty】

【Shang Yang's policy of humiliating the people is a manifestation of Legalism's disregard for the people, contempt for human rights, and only treating the people as tools.】

【There is a saying in Shang Jun's book: When the people are humiliated, the officials will be respected.】

【Various exorbitant taxes and heavy corvee were used to abuse the people and humiliate them to maintain the people's fear and obedience to the imperial court.】

【Under the humiliating policy, the status of the poor was worse than that of livestock. In ancient times, cattle were an important means of agricultural production. However, under Shang Yang's humiliating policy, if the cattle lost weight, farmers would be severely punished.】

【During the hundreds of years of war in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the people were emaciated and even starved to death, but Shang Yang valued cattle more than people.】

【Treating the common people as worse than animals will make them appear humble, which will reflect the absolute majesty of the imperial court and ensure that the common people dare not resist.】

【The core of Shang Yang's reform was to weaken the people in order to strengthen the country. Its success helped Qin quickly become stronger and eventually unified the six countries.】

【The weak people indeed strengthened the centralized autocracy and squeezed social production to the extreme to provide support for Qin's foreign wars. However, although this policy temporarily achieved the political purpose of weakening the people to strengthen the country, it laid the foundation for the future.】

【The demise of the Qin State was precisely because various weak policies pushed the people to the extreme. When Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were desperate, they roared like princes and generals Xiang Ning, thus setting off a wave of anti-Qin in the world, and finally brought Qin to the end. The country was sent to a dead end】

【However, once the policy of weakening the people and strengthening the country lost the biggest driving force of war, it quickly became the root cause of Qin's demise.】

【The monarchs of the Qin Dynasty were deeply influenced by Shang Yang's legalism. Even after they unified the world, they still squeezed social potential to the extreme and rigidly implemented the policy of weakening the people in order to strengthen the country. This eventually led to the collapse of the powerful Qin Empire.】

【Its rise was rapid, and its demise was sudden. The Qiang Qin Dynasty rose due to Shang Yang's reforms, but it was finally followed by Shang Yang's strict laws. One man made trouble and seven temples died, and he died at the hands of others, making everyone laugh for the world! 】

Da Qin

"Shang Yang? Lord Shang!!"

Ying Zheng had a complex expression after hearing Tiandao's inventory. He didn't know whether he should thank Shang Jun or blame Shang Jun.

Since Qin Xiaogong Shang Yang's reform, Shang Jun's status in the hearts of Qin people has been like a big mountain. Towering and majestic, it is insurmountable.

It is precisely because of this that Shang Jun's reforms were so popular among the old Qin people and the users of the previous Qin kings.

Even though Shang Jun was killed by a chariot in the end, Shang Yang's contribution to the old Qin people was ultimately Indelible.

Because Shang Yang’s soul has been integrated into the bones of the Qin people with Shang Yang’s reform decree.

Even Ying Zheng worshiped Shang Jun’s decree as a god. It was not until today’s inventory of heaven that Ying Zheng Qin's decree wavered a little bit

"Could it be that Shang Jun was really wrong?"

"Your Majesty, Mr. Shang is right!!"

Li Si stood up again to defend his ancestor. He said with firm eyes:

"May I ask Your Majesty, what was the state of Qin like before Shang Yang's reform?"

"Private fights continued and the national power was wasted. Although there were 800 miles of Qinchuan, it could not enrich the country and strengthen the army. The land in Hexi was even occupied by the Wei State."

"Suffering from internal and external troubles, poverty and weakness, the Qin State at that time was in danger of being destroyed by the Wei State at any time."

"At this critical moment, it was Shang Yang who stood up and pointed out the way for the prosperity of the Qin Dynasty. Together with Qin Xiaogong, he spent his life's efforts to make the Qin Dynasty rich and strong."

"He solved the problem of internal strife among the old Qin people, and for the first time proposed the theory of farming warfare, allowing lower-level soldiers to be promoted to nobility through military merit. This was unprecedented in ancient times."

"It was precisely because of Shang Yang's painstaking efforts in training a new army for Da Qin that Da Qin could regain Hexi and stand in Guanzhong for hundreds of years."

"Without Lord Shang, there would be no Great Qin today, so Your Majesty, Lord Shang is right."

Li Si compared the Qin Dynasty before and after the reform and supported Shang Yang. Feng Quji on the side retorted:

"Your Majesty, Lord Shang has indeed made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty, but Lord Shang's six skills of controlling the people are poisoning the people of the world and are detrimental to the people."

"If you use the six skills of controlling the people to manage the people, although the people will become stupid and easy to manage, once the situation gets out of control, it will be a disaster for the world."

"The veteran believes that now that the world has been unified, we in Great Qin should enlighten the people so that they understand that they are all subjects of Great Qin and cultivate their patriotic feelings."

"All the people in the world know that after our Great Qin unified the world and brought stability and prosperity to the people, they will definitely support our Great Qin even more. Isn't this more consistent with the law of heaven than fooling the people?"

"At the beginning of man's life, his nature is evil!!! The six skills of controlling the people are national policies!"...Dividing line...
