Chapter 338: General, are you sure that it is a military book?
Master? Aren't you the master? He drank too much and passed out... Xiang Liang quickly grabbed Jiang He's hand, preventing him from pouring the wine into his mouth and continuing to drink.
"Brother Jiang, you are joking. Brother Jiang is the boss of the Jiang family. Brother Jiang is the head of the family. It's impossible for Brother Jiang to give orders to himself, right?"
"Wrong, wrong."
Jiang He shook his head and pointed at his nose.
"My branch is a branch."
Pointing west.
"The main vein is in Xianyang."
Queen Dowager Xuan's son Mi Bazi: surname Mi, name unknown, clan Jiang.
Xiang Liang slapped his thigh regretfully.
"What benefits does Liang have?"
Jiang He smiled without saying a word and drank the wine in the bottle.
Xiang Liang stared at Jiang He's raised neck, his hand hidden in his sleeve tightly grasping a dagger.
Jiang He put down the wine jar and saw Xiang Liang staring at his face. He touched his face and said:
"What are you looking at, Brother Xiang?"
Xiang Liang came back to his senses, let go of the dagger, stretched out his hand from his sleeve and gave Jiang He a thumbs up.
"Brother Jiang has a lot of capacity!"
Jiang He laughed.
"Hahaha, He has been able to drink since he was young. People often praise me for being able to drink and fill the river!"
Yan land.
Wang Ben, Marquis of Tongwu , set out from his fiefdom, Liaodong County, and led the elite soldiers guarding the border through Liaoxi, passed through Yuyang, passed Shanggu, made a circle in Yan territory, and returned from Youbeiping.
"The Lord of Chang'an in Han issued a decree to recruit talented people. If a scholar came, he would be given an official position, money, women, and houses. He was also asked to teach and read books. He also provided all kinds of rare classics.
"You have nothing in Yan except Donghu's curved swords. Those who wish to travel, please go to any county within five days. I will send soldiers to escort you out of Yan. I will not wait for you after that time."
Wang Ben was very satisfied when he saw a large number of scholars leaving Yan.
“This group of birds only know how to not fight, to deceive people and delay the public from making achievements.
"Conscription in five days!"
"only."
The personal soldiers around him were delighted and responded generously.
Wang Ben, with a tanned face, rough skin and large pores, showed a sinister smile.
"You have envied Meng Tian for a long time. Why is he the only one who can fight? In terms of achievements and abilities, how are you inferior to him? You have had enough of being the Marquis of Guannei, the Marquis of Tongwu. You want to be the Marquis of Che!"
Ten days later, Wang Ben, Marquis of Tongwu, sent an envoy to Donghu, saying that a Qin soldier had disappeared in Donghu territory and asked Donghu to find the soldier and return him together with the Qin envoy.
The Donghu, which was the most powerful country in the desert at that time, immediately sent the Qin envoy back, saying that they had not seen any Qin soldiers leave the pass.
Wang Ben was furious.
"How dare you harbor my Great Qin warriors? If you can't find them, you will have to lead your troops to find them yourself!"
He led 10,000 elite cavalry out of Liaoxi and into the territory of the Donghu, demanding that the Donghu let him in to search for the lost Qin soldiers.
The Donghu did not agree.
Wang Ben charged into the battle formation in anger and started a fight, catching the Donghu off guard.
In this battle, more than 130 war horses were lost, 73 people were killed, and more than 300 people were injured.
They captured 1,200 horses, over a hundred cattle, and over 270 sheep.
Then he returned.
He asked his retainers to write a petition for him, saying:
[The Donghu bullied our Qin State too much and held our elite soldiers hostage. I told them that I would take my elite soldiers home with me, but they refused and fought with Ben. In this battle, our Great Qin lost 73 people, 307 wounded, and 135 war horses.]
[I fought back vigorously, showing the power of the Qin Empire, and captured more than a thousand war horses and more than three hundred cattle and sheep.]
[When I was writing this memorial, spies reported that the Donghu wanted to gather a large army to attack Liaoxi. I ask Your Majesty to allocate military funds and food. I am willing to add another Donghu County to Daqin! ]
"General, are we being too frivolous?"
The retainers who witnessed their master's actions throughout the process were terrified. This was not passive defense at all, this was clearly an active invasion!
The Qin army had strict discipline. How could a Qin soldier get lost during a non-war period? And how could he get lost in Donghu territory? Isn't this bullying the honest Donghu?
They were going to take 10,000 elite cavalrymen to search for a Qin soldier in the heart of Donghu? How could they let them go? They were going to start a war!
"This is no joke. This is the plan that His Majesty told me personally."
Wang Ben was very proud and his black face was very happy.
“…”
If Your Majesty wants to fight, you can just do it directly. But as for finding a pretext to attack, why would you list the Donghu’s past looting of the Central Plains? How could they be so shameless... The retainers do not trust their master.
"General, did His Majesty really say that? This matter must not be taken lightly..."
Wang Ben said carelessly:
"Of course, your Majesty took a military book and read it to me in person."
"...General, are you sure that's a military book?"
Wang Ben recalled carefully.
"Now that you mention it, I remember that Your Majesty seemed to have said that he was reading a novel with Ben Nian?"
"!!!"
The servant's face turned green and the brush in his hand fell to the ground with a thud.
"Don't panic!"
Wang Ben picked up the brush and said nonchalantly:
"Whether it's a novel or a military book, shameless or righteous, none of these are important. What's important is that Ben won the battle, and that's enough."
Wang Ben walked out of the house and looked at the grassland that he had just plundered.
He closed his eyes, as if he could still hear the roars of the Donghu men, the wails of the Donghu women, and the cries of the Donghu children.
A grim smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Who made you weak?!"
All the literati from various places flocked to Han, and Guanzhong was no exception.
Xianyang, Doctoral Office.
Many PhDs have submitted their resignations and are going to Korea.
In fact, the First Emperor did not block the path to knowledge. He left a way for talented people in the world, which was to enter Xianyang, join the Doctoral Office, and become a doctor.
There is a sentence in the book burning order: All books collected by officials other than doctoral officials shall be burned.
Therefore, the books collected by doctors were not included in the scope of book burning. Doctors had the privilege of collecting any books, including those that were considered banned books at the time.
In addition to the children of nobles who were placed in the group of doctors, many of them are people with real talent and knowledge.
The Four Elders of Shangshan who prevented Emperor Gaozu of Han from deposing the crown prince, Chunyu Yue, the teacher of Fusu, and Fusheng, who inherited the Book of Documents, were all doctors of the Qin Dynasty. The position of doctor who could enter the Xianyang Palace was not low.
The doctor enjoyed the right to discuss matters and there was no performance appraisal. It could be said that it was the safest and most comfortable position in the Qin State. The First Emperor always gave preferential treatment to talented people.
The reason why the world did not buy it was that some celebrities thought that Qin was vulgar and did not respect scholars enough, and would rather starve to death in the mountains than become a doctor.
This idea is indeed not wrong, because the doctor has the right to discuss matters, but it is only to discuss matters and not to do things, and the doctor has no real power.
This is the reason why the number of PhD students has not increased significantly.
Today, however, the number of PhD candidates has not increased much, but has decreased significantly.
Those who can become a doctor in the Doctoral Office by relying on their real talents and knowledge are all well-educated people with extensive knowledge.
Not only did they not have the opportunity to apply what they had learned, but they also studied classics in the doctoral office, discussed with each other, and enjoyed themselves in this world where the book burning order and book holding law were implemented.
But now we have this opportunity, not only can we teach and educate people and pass on what we have learned throughout our lives, and enhance the influence of our theories, but we can also put theories into practice when we govern.
Most of the PhDs in the Doctoral Office went to Korea. They also wanted to prove themselves and their theories.
Zhao and Wei were the first to flow into Han, and had already been screened by Ying Chengjiao.
In the next period of time.
Eastern Qi, Western Qin, Southern Chu, and Northern Yan.
The literati from the four directions all rushed to the Han area in the Central Plains.
Qi, Qin, Chu, Yan, Zhao, Wei and Han.
East, west, south, north and center.
