Chapter 245 Whose World is This? (asking for monthly tickets)
"The Grand Master said that human nature is evil, but I think human nature is like the seeds in my hand, some good and some bad. Good seeds growing in poor soil will hardly bloom and bear fruit, while bad seeds given a good growing environment may be able to flourish."
Zhao Yuanxi paused and continued, "Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, and righteousness. Only by creating such an environment can people develop a correct sense of right and wrong and know what to do and what not to do."
Han Fei frowned. "In troubled times, everyone fears power over virtue. Benevolence, righteousness, and morality are nothing but empty talk from Confucian scholars. If everyone practiced benevolence and righteousness, there wouldn't have been so many years of war. Furthermore, Confucian scholars use rhetoric to embellish their words and actions, hindering the implementation of laws and regulations. This will only lead to the continuous decline of the country."
Zhao Yuanxi: "Grandmaster, what you said makes sense. In troubled times, survival is the most important thing. But have you ever thought about what happens after the chaos ends?"
"Now that Zhao and Han have been annexed by Qin, in the future there will be Wei, Chu, Qi, Yan, and even the Baiyue and Nanyue lands. When the world is at peace, does the Grand Tutor still think his ideas are correct?"
Han Fei couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Zhao Yuanxi smiled, knowing that it was good enough to just think about it. What she was most worried about was that Han Fei would be stubborn and if they really had a debate, she would not be able to win against him.
She leaned against the city wall, gazing at the distant mountains with interest. The wind blew the trees, creating waves of green, and the flying birds fell into the forest and disappeared.
"Your Majesty..." Han Fei was wondering how the Qin State would be governed after peace was restored to the world.
A country founded on farming and warfare must expand outwards while farming. If one day it stops, the system will face enormous internal pressure, and the threat will be no less than the oppression of other countries by the Qin State.
Han Fei lowered his head and thought, but he still couldn't find the answer to the question.
He raised his head and looked at Queen Mother Zhao in front of him, "What does the Queen Mother think?"
Zhao Yuanxi curled his lips and smiled. "You ask me? I thought I already gave my answer. When I asked the Grand Tutor to compile a new Qin Law, I didn't just want to give you something to do. You should have known how to solve it by now."
Han Fei was slightly stunned and murmured, "Will the King of Qin really use this law?"
That set of laws was completely different from the current Qin laws. Even if the Queen Mother Zhao vowed that it would be used one day, he did not think that the King of Qin would agree, because even he himself felt that some parts of the laws were ridiculous.
"Whether to use it or not won't necessarily be his decision when the time comes. The Grand Tutor believes the monarch should have absolute power, but the world doesn't belong to one person; it belongs to everyone. Laws are a tool for social governance, not a shackle for the monarch to control the people."
Hearing this, Han Fei's forehead broke out in cold sweat. "I am terrified!"
Zhao Yuanxi smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? There are only two of us here. Even if the king hears, he won't do anything to us."
At most, they would be taught a lesson and forbidden to talk nonsense, or they would be grounded.
After this shock, Han Fei felt that his spirits had recovered a lot. He said helplessly, "The Queen Mother should be careful with her words."
This statement was tantamount to subverting the Qin King's rule over the world. No king would tolerate such words being spread.
Zhao Yuanxi shrugged, thinking that Han Fei could understand him!
"Don't worry, I'm just nagging you a little, but what I said is not nonsense. Master Han, you can think about it and think about this more. Don't think about Han anymore! Anyway, the King of Han has surrendered, and you don't have the ability to restore the country. It would be better to use your time and energy to do something serious."
…
"The Queen Mother is truly merciless." Han Fei laughed.
Zhao Yuanxi: "To be honest, South Korea is one of the six nations and there is no chance of it winning in the war of seven nations. The current result is already the best."
At least no one died as a result, but the Korean nobles lost their original noble status and countless wealth.
"I understand."
Zhao Yuanxi arched his eyebrows. "I'm glad you understand. I'm still waiting for your law to be compiled and published, so that it can blind everyone!"
What a strange metaphor this is. Han Fei was puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask more questions and could only smile helplessly.
"Grandmother!" A milky voice came into her ears.
Zhao Yuanxi looked back and saw two little guys running towards him, one in front and one behind.
Ziying hugged her and said, "Why did you come here? It's so hard for me and my brother to find you!"
"Why did you two come out?"
Fusu looked up and said, "We met Mr. Zhang Liang on the way. He came to look for Master Han. We heard that our great mother had come to look for Master Han, so we asked him to bring us here with him."
"Does your father agree?"
"Father was drunk today, so we ran away on our own!"
Zhao Yuanxi patted their buttocks and said, "Don't run around like this next time. Everyone will be worried."
"We are not running around, we are here to find you!" Ziying was dissatisfied. There were many people following them, and they had also asked their uncle, the King of Qin, for instructions. It was just that their uncle, the King of Qin, was drunk. How could they be blamed for this?
Zhao Yuanxi pinched his little face and said, "I'll be back soon. Do you really want to keep an eye on me all the time?"
Ziying snorted, "Who knows if the Great Mother will abandon us?"
Zhao Yuanxi felt melancholy and patted his head. "I really won't abandon you again. Is Grandmother's credibility with you really that low?"
"It's because my mother is always so willful!" he muttered softly.
Zhao Yuanxi glared at him and said angrily, "You have no respect for your elders. When is it your turn to teach me a lesson?"
Han Fei looked in astonishment at Queen Mother Zhao who was playing with the young master. The Queen Mother thought that he was too indulgent towards the younger generation, but she didn't know that she was even worse.
"What are Grandmother and Han Taifu doing here?"
Zhao Yuanxi picked them up and said, "Let's chat and take a look at the beautiful mountains and rivers of Qin. How is it? Is it beautiful?"
"Beautiful!" Ziying cheered and raised his hands, his face full of excitement, but he hit Zhao Yuanxi's chin with his claws. After reacting, he said guiltily, "Mother, I didn't mean it!"
"If you did it on purpose, I won't just spank you. Let's go back!"
Zhao Yuanxi put them down and held their hands, one on each side. "There are no more snacks for you today!"
"Why?"
"This is your punishment for running around."
"But we're looking for you."
"You can't argue for anything. If you keep arguing, tomorrow's snacks will be deducted."
"Ah... Big Mother!"
"It's no use acting like a spoiled child!"
Han Fei stood there, watching their leaving backs, thinking for a long time, and then suddenly smiled.
When Zhao Yuanxi passed by Zhang Liang, he saw the star above his head and the extra name in the third column, and he was overjoyed.
Zhang Liang was indeed one of the great talents she was looking for.
