Qin State, Martial AcademyAfter
Lin Jiang's understanding, Qin State's class solidification is better than other feudal states, precisely because Qin people are tough and still expanding. Expansion means war, and war means military merit. If there is no reward for merit on the battlefield, there will be problems.
In this situation, Lin Jiang can't just copy what he said in Zhao State's Martial Academy. He has to make some changes. Lin Jiang's plan is to start with military merit and derive the Legalist thought from the aspect that military merit must be rewarded.
The core of Legalist thought is to enrich the country and strengthen the army and build a legal system. Using enriching the country and strengthening the army as bait, some enlightened nobles in Qin State will accept it, thereby promoting the construction of the legal system and opening a path for advancement for the lower class. As for the imperial examination
, it is still not suitable now, because of productivity reasons. It is necessary to wait until productivity is improved to a certain level, enough for many civilians to read and write, before the imperial examination system can be proposed.
"I regret not having read enough when I need it. I should have read more."
Lin Jiang retreated for a few days to refine the thoughts of the Legalists. Then he found that he remembered too little. He regretted it. If he had known, he would not have fallen in love too early when he was studying. What's the point of falling in love? Isn't studying good? Now Lin Jiang can't even remember anything.
"How about copying Shang Yang's reforms?"
Lin Jiang was a little helpless. He still remembered some of the content of Shang Yang's reforms, but he also knew that Shang Yang's reforms had many limitations. If he followed Shang Yang's reforms, once the country was unified, he would either continue to expand northward or die in the second generation, because at that time military merit became the only way to advance. Later generations would continue to implement this policy. If they did not benefit from expansion, they would also perish.
"It still doesn't work. Reality is different from history books. Martial arts alone can't solve it."
Lin Jiang hesitated again and again, but still didn't dare to act rashly. There was no martial arts in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but martial arts existed in reality. A martial saint was enough to fight a thousand people on the battlefield, and a group of martial arts masters were enough to turn the tide of the war.
"It still needs to be combined with reality and the martial arts class. Let me think about it slowly."
Lin Jiang finally didn't dare to make a rash decision and decided to explore slowly. This kind of thing can't be communicated in a day or two. Take it one step at a time.
········"This is Shennong Chen, the contemporary head of the Shennong family, and one of the treasures of my Qin State Martial Arts Academy, a world-famous great pharmacist."
One day, Lin Jiang followed Qin Wuyang to one side of the martial arts academy. Qin Wuyang pointed to an old man and said that the old man's martial arts cultivation was only a martial arts master, but his status was extremely high because he was a great pharmacist.
In the era when Lin Jiang was still Emperor Xia, pharmacists included ordinary doctors, but now they are separated. Pharmacists are actually alchemists in the era of cultivating immortals. At that time, alchemists refined elixirs, and now they still refine elixirs, but now elixirs can only be taken by warriors.
"Chen has met Mr. Guigu."
Shennong Chen bowed to Lin Jiang, seemingly respectful, but extremely arrogant, a bit like looking at people with squinted eyes.
Of course, Shennong Chen has his own capital for arrogance. His Shennong clan was a noble who was personally canonized by Emperor Xia. More than half of the nobles who were canonized in the era of Emperor Xia have now declined or even exterminated. The Shennong clan has been passed down to this day, not only has it not declined, but it has become more prosperous. This is his capital for pride.
"I heard that Pharmacist Chen has been to the Northern Frontier, and the pharmacists in the Northern Frontier all admire him very much?"
"Don't dare, Chen has indeed traveled in the Northern Frontier for ten years, visited the Immortal Sect, the Martial Sect, the Clan Alliance, and communicated with their pharmacists. The pharmacists in the Northern Frontier are unique, and Chen is not as good as them,"
Shennong Chen said. He is a person who has traveled to the Northern Frontier, which is extremely rare in the entire Xia Kingdom today. This is called studying abroad.
Lin Jiang smiled and continued to follow his words. The profession of pharmacist is still well developed in Qingzhou, because there are many immortal cultivators awakening in Qingzhou, many of whom are former alchemists. Ordinary people like Shennong Chen, if they don't have extraordinary talents, it is difficult to surpass them.
Qin Wuyang introduced the pharmacist major of the Wu Academy to Lin Jiang. The Wu Academy has trained many people to become pharmacists, and the pharmacists of the Wu Academy are also very famous in various feudal states because of the help of Shennong.
Shennong was personally conferred the title by the Emperor of Xia. He should have been a noble of Xia. After Xia became weak, Qin invited him back with a large sum of money. It was a poaching. Shennong lived up to expectations. In the years in Qin, he refined a large number of elixirs and trained a large number of warriors.
"The development of the pharmacist profession will soon make warriors enter the era of competing with their fathers and family backgrounds. Alas,"
Lin Jiang sighed in his heart. Pharmacists have been developing for more than a thousand years and have developed a lot of elixirs, especially some elixirs that can help boost internal strength. This is cheating for the rich, and it will be more difficult for the poor in the future.
"Are you Mr. Guigu from Zhao?"
Just as Shennongchen was introducing some unique elixirs of Qin to Lin Jiang, an inappropriate voice suddenly sounded. Everyone looked back and saw a young man walking over. There were seven or eight people around him, who were always persuading him, but they didn't dare to stop him.
Qin Wuyang and Shennongchen saw this man, and their faces sank. They looked at the people around them coldly, wondering why they didn't stop this guy.
"I am Mr. Guigu, who are you?"
"I, my name is Qin Mo, the King of Qin is my father, who do you say I am?
" "Prince?"
"Haha, then..."
"Ahem"
Qin Wuyang coughed suddenly, which stopped Qin Mo's smile, and said, "I'm not a prince yet, I'm the second child, you can call me the Second Young Master, of course, I prefer the name of the Second Young Master"
"Qin Mo, don't be rude"
Qin Wuyang's face became darker, the Second Young Master is a respectful title, but what is the Second Young Master, do you treat others as your family's servants? This is the Martial Saint, and the King of Qin would not dare to treat the Martial Saint as a servant.
"Second Grandpa, how am I rude?"
"Step back, the medicine garden is closed today"
"Pharmacist Chen is my master, can't I come to see the master?"
Qin Mo seemed to be unable to see that Qin Wuyang was already full of anger and didn't want to leave at all.
"Sir, I'm sorry to embarrass you."
"No problem, let's continue."
Lin Jiang smiled. This second son of the Qin State is very interesting. If he becomes the king, the Qin State may not perish in the second generation.
Shennong Chen looked at Qin Mo with dissatisfaction and was very angry. Noble sons of various countries would enter the martial arts academy to study, and Qin Mo was the same. However, practicing martial arts is not something that everyone can endure. Many people can't stand the hardship of practicing in the hottest days of summer and the coldest days of winter, let alone the pampered son of the Qin State. That's why Qin Mo deliberately worshipped him as his teacher.
But even after entering Shennong Chen's school, he was still unlearned and unskilled. He was thinking about having fun all day long, seducing good women everywhere, and almost ruined Shennong Chen's school.
Today was Qin Wuyang's special instruction. He wanted to completely win over Mr. Guigu to the Qin State. If such a big thing was ruined, they would not be able to bear it.
Shennong Chen continued to explain the pharmacist to Lin Jiang, but Qin Mo spoke again. He lowered his voice and said to Lin Jiang, "Mr. Guigu, how do you say we can win you over? You have no shortage of martial arts secrets, you are a martial saint. As for gold, silver and jewelry, a martial saint has no shortage of these either. How about we have an alliance? They told me that alliance is the best way."
"But alliance won't work. My sister is already married. I do have a daughter, but she is only three or four years old. What should I do?"
"So, Mr. Guigu, I've thought about it. I'll take a loss and I'll recognize you as my godfather."
"Sir, if you don't mind, Mo is willing to be your godfather."
Qin Mo's voice was not loud, but everyone present was a martial arts master with sharp ears and eyes. Not to mention the sound of such talking, even the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be heard.
When Qin Mo said the word "win over", Shen Nong Chen shut up, and then looked at Qin Mo with a sneer, while Qin Wuyang's face began to slowly become ferocious, and the nobles on the side even silently stepped back two steps, walking away, so as not to be infected and their IQ would degenerate.
Lin Jiang also tried his best to endure it, damn, this kid is rebellious, I really want to beat him to death.
