Country concept!

In this era, the Chinese people have not yet born this concept. It can also be said that the emperor is equal to the country. In the eyes of the world, this country belongs to the emperor alone.

It has nothing to do with them!

As Mencius: King Hui of Liang: "The king said: Why is it beneficial to our country's doctor said: How is it beneficial to our family?"

In the eyes of people in this era, the family is the same as the country. The country belongs to the emperor and the family belongs to the head of the family. Therefore, there is a lack of a sense of honor and disgrace that every man is responsible for the rise and fall of a country.

This time, the biggest reason why Ying Zheng was personally a teacher is that.

He wanted to integrate the concept of the world with the country and combine it into one, and from then on, the Qin Empire could last for hundreds of years.

The concept must be formed from the beginning, otherwise it will definitely affect the future. Now that he has seen a corner of the future, he has the obligation and responsibility to improve it.

Ying Zheng knew very well that on this land, the princes had large fiefs called states and small ones called states. The concept of state had not yet been formed at this time.

The people of the Central Plains have no concept of nationality. Even in later generations, the people of the Chinese have actually weak nationality.

Most people in the Central Plains only knew that there was a court but not a country. There was a famous person in later generations who once said that the Central Plains nation had only concepts of the world since ancient times, but no concepts of the country.

This shows that it is generally!

In this special culture, the destruction of a country is different from the destruction of a world. Change of surnames is called the destruction of a country. Benevolence and righteousness are accumulating, and leading beasts to eat people, and people are eating each other, which is called the destruction of a world.

Those who protect the country are the ruler and the ministers, and those who eat meat are planning; those who protect the world are the humbleness of every man, and those who have the responsibility to be responsible for it!

This time, Ying Zheng wanted to do it, so he established the concept of the country in the hearts of the ministers of the Qin Dynasty and then took the opportunity to publicize it. Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the country.

It's not just about the emperor!

As soon as he thought of this, Ying Zheng's voice became more firm: "The country is the world, and the Qin Empire is the only country on the Central Plains."

"The Qin Empire is not only my own, but also everyone here, and the people of the world."

"Without the Great Qin Empire, I am not an emperor. Without the Great Qin Empire, you will have no salary, no rights, and no place to establish a cone in this world."

"Without the Great Qin Empire, the safety of the people of the country will not be guaranteed. Without the Great Qin Empire protecting the Central Plains, the northern Huns would invade!"

"From now on, the prosperity of the Central Plains is gone, the wife and children are separated, and the family is destroyed and the family is destroyed!"

At this moment, the ministers were also extremely solemn in their hearts. Ying Zheng proposed a brand new concept, which greatly impacted their worldview and values.

At the same time, they were also thinking about the question raised by Ying Zheng. Their thoughts were flashing, and they couldn't help but feel heavier. They and the Qin Empire all prospered and lost.

We share weal and woe with each other!

"The Qin Empire is a country, and I am the leader of it, you are the managers of the family, and the people of the country are members of the family."

"I, the ministers and the people of the country, formed the Great Qin Empire in this way. Therefore, the rise and fall of the Great Qin Empire is not only responsible, but also the ministers and the people of the country are even more responsible."

"To sum up all this, in a nutshell: every man is responsible for the rise and fall of a country!"

Speaking of this, Ying Zheng looked at the ministers present deeply: "And you are all officials of the Great Qin Empire. It can be said that everything you have is given by the empire."

"The Great Qin is prosperous, and you will have no worries for a hundred years. When the Great Qin is in decline, you will also be cut off as a capital for promotion."

"You all share the honor and disgrace with the empire. I hope you can understand this!"

...

Quiet!

At this moment, the quiet fallen leaves on Xianyang Palace Square can be heard, only the howling north wind and the occasional crackling sound of carbon fires.

Ying Zheng glanced with majestic eyes: "I'll be here today. After you go back, you will think carefully and write a memorial to deliver it!"

"I am hereby ordered!"

...

Ying Zheng is gone!

This concept is too big and is the latest appearance. The ministers were not prepared at all and suddenly suffered a critical blow. They need to be quiet and think.

And at this moment, the weather is getting colder.

Xianyang is not warm in this season, and with the blow of the north wind, the huge carbon fire has no effect at all and no temperature at all.

Especially when Ying Zheng stood on the platform, he was the first to be hit. His hands and feet were so numb that it was so cold that it was already over.

...

"Your Majesty, I've almost drunk this bowl of ginseng soup to warm my body. The weather is getting colder and colder!" As soon as I walked into the study, Zhao Gao had already arrived with ginseng soup.

After drinking the ginseng soup for a few sips, Ying Zheng was silent next to the charcoal fire. He knew in his heart that he had only said half of the topic today.

The state was born with the emergence of classes. In primitive society, due to the low level of productivity, the means of production were publicly owned, there was no private ownership, no classes, no exploitation and oppression, at that time, there were only ethnic groups and no states.

Ying Zheng knew better than anyone present today that the emergence of the word state is essentially a for the ruling class to use to rule other classes.

In primitive society, the maintenance of social order depends on the power of habits and traditions, and also on the prestige and power enjoyed by patriarchs and leaders.

So, there was no need for a country at that time.

However, with the development of productivity, private ownership emerged, and society was divided into two confrontational classes: slave owners and slaves.

Under the slavery production mode, the slave owner possessed all the means of production, and the slave had nothing, and even the slave itself became the property of the slave owner. Under cruel exploitation, the slaves continued to resist by escape, riot, etc.

In order to protect the exploitative interests of slave owners, suppress slave resistance, and oppress the working people who make up the vast majority of the population, slave owners who make up the minority of the population need to use organized and special tools of violence.

This organized violence tool is the state. Therefore, the state is the product of irreconcilable class contradictions.

The country is also the best tool to neutralize the two major classes. Private ownership emerged, so the tribe collapsed, the primitive society collapsed, and the benevolent and righteous monarchs of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors became the past.

Xia Qi established Xia, and the first country on the Central Plains was born. However, at that time, Xia was just a transformation from a tribe to a country.

Subsequently, the concept of the state became clearer and clearer, and it became the only way to maintain peaceful coexistence between the two major classes.
