All the schools of thought have long deviated from their original intentions.

In other words, after several generations of inheritance, the hundreds of schools of thought have discarded the most core content. This is true for both Confucianism and Mohism.

The world is unified!

This is the core view of the major factions, but it has been tampered with by later generations bit by bit, so that the former pioneers have become the ones that have been dragged down.

Especially the Confucian doctors and bachelors in the doctoral academy supported by the Qin Dynasty.

...

"Your Majesty, whether it is the concept of the country or the unification, if you want to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, you must wait until the land reform is over."

After a while, Wang Wan served rice wine to the three of them: "Now the land reform is in full swing, and I think it is not appropriate to start the war easily."

Wang Wan is different from Wei Liao!

After all, he was a politician influenced by Confucianism, and he had personally experienced the process of unification of the Qin Dynasty, so he naturally knew that war was not desirable.

The Qin Empire will inevitably break out in the future, but it will definitely not be on the Central Plains, but on the southern part of Vietnam and the northern Huns.

So, at this moment, the emperor and his ministers chatted for a while, and Wang Wan took the opportunity to reiterate the topic again.

"I will not start a war easily unless the tribes of the six countries jump out first, and the army of the southern expedition only needs to be stationed and train troops as usual."

Ying Zheng glanced at Wang Wan, and then paused, saying, "However, not starting the war easily does not mean not starting the war. Once the situation in the south shows signs of out of control, the southern army can suppress it immediately."

"Taiwei, I will pass on the imperial edict to Yu Renxiao and let him decide according to the specific circumstances!"

"promise."

...

He nodded and agreed, and Wei Liao didn't say anything more. After all, Ying Zheng had already spoken and put an end to the matter, and he didn't agree with the movement of troops very much.

The war that finally settled must not be easily ignited, otherwise the Central Plains would suffer heavy damage, and the Qin Dynasty would finally deal with the consequences.

At this moment, Wei Liao and Wang Wan looked at each other, Wang Wan nodded slightly, and then said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, the county magistrates in various places have been waiting for a long time, so why not..."

"good!"

Two hours have passed since the chat between the three of them. At this time, Ying Zheng is actually waiting for a step forward. After all, what the current Daqin lacks the most is time.

It is shameful to waste time!

...

"Your Majesty is here, all officials will salute you!"

Zhao Gao's voice sounded in the side hall. He had been waiting for two hours. The ministers who were deeply afraid in their hearts quickly stood up and bowed solemnly, saying.

"I am paying homage to Your Majesty, Your Majesty for thousands of years, and the Qin Dynasty for thousands of years--!"

With a glance at the neat and uniform ministers, Ying Zheng's mouth raised slightly, and as he restrained his expression, the aura of his whole body came fiercely.

"Flat!"

But at this moment, no one dared to stand up straight. They were not fools. Naturally, they knew that the waiting for these two hours was the greatest dissatisfaction of the First Emperor.

"I am guilty, please punish me!" Except for Wang Wan and others, the other ministers looked nervous at this moment. They all knew that the punishment would be serious.

"You are the heroes of our Great Qin. The reason why I can hold the throne depends entirely on your merits. What are your faults?"

At this moment, Ying Zheng did not intend to take it lightly. Since it had been raised, the ministers must realize their mistakes and pay the price.

Ying Zheng has seen a lot of things that he remembers eating but not beating.

"Report to Your Majesty, I am negligent and forgot the time, so that Your Majesty sent a cart to greet me, and I am panicked..."

He glanced at Yin Tong and others who stood up, Ying Zheng said in a quiet tone, "I have never had such a thing in my Great Qin Empire!"

"In view of your dear friends who have made great contributions to our great Qin, you don't have to go to the Tingwei Office. Everyone will be fined for half a year."

"call……"

Although the punishment for the half-year salary penalty was very serious, the county magistrates and other officials in the side hall still felt that they had earned it themselves, and they felt relieved.

After all, they all knew the horror of the Tingwei Office. If they went in, they would probably have to peel off even if they didn't die.

Spending money to buy peace is not a difficult task for them.

As soon as he thought of this, the ministers led by Yin Tong and others bowed solemnly towards Ying Zheng and said, "I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness!"

"Stay for a quarter of an hour and the training continues!"

Ying Zheng's sharp eyes passed by everyone, and his tone was calm: "My dear friends, I have not given my experience to me yet. I hope that after today, you will not forget it again!"

Upon hearing this, the ministers were startled and hurriedly promised, saying, "I dare not!"

...

The atmosphere in the side hall practice returned to normal, and a quarter of an hour passed. At this moment, the ministers sat upright, waiting for Ying Zheng to speak.

Seeing this scene, Ying Zheng also stood up and said to the ministers: "Yesterday, I mentioned the concept of the country to all my beloved friends. Time is short, and you will take up your post soon."

"What I want to talk about today is the nation!"

"Before today, there were no nations on the Central Plains, only one special existence. I call it a nation, but it is not suitable for the current Qin Dynasty."

"I dare to ask Your Majesty, what is the nation?"

Wang Wan, the best supporting actor of the Qin Empire, was launched again, allowing Ying Zheng to give better explanations and retelling.

"The nation is a new ethnic group formed with political purposes, and is constantly formed under the fusion of cultural customs."

"For example, Qin people, Wei people, Chu people, Yan people, Zhao people, etc."

"Now the Qin Dynasty annexes the six countries and unify the world. Looking at the Central Plains, there is only one country, which is naturally not suitable for the nation now."

A quarter of an hour later, after the ministers had a certain understanding of the concept of nationality, Wang Wan spoke again and said, "Your Majesty, what is a nation?"

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng looked at the bright and eager eyes in the side hall, and his thoughts were paused, and he said loudly: "The nation did not exist from the beginning, but was only produced when the society developed to a certain stage."

"On the Central Plains, people first belonged to the primitive group, and experienced the continuous evolution of maternal and paternal lines, coupled with the development of productivity and the need for production, they formed a stable collective-clan."

"At that time, the most realistic and convenient link was blood ties. Several relatives and clans merged into tribes, and then the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors appeared, until Xia Qi established the country and continuously formed a nation."

"The hundreds of years of wars in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period destroyed the blood relationship between clans and tribes. At this time, the country was no longer suitable for the Qin Empire."

Speaking of this, Ying Zheng looked at the ministers deeply, paused word by word, and said, "So, I just proposed the term nationality."
