"Master, do you want to make preparations for the next one?" A servant said self-righteously.

"What are you preparing for? Do you want me to be a dignified Prime Minister of the Great Qin? Like a village woman?" Li Si scolded angrily.

"Get out. Get out." Li Si angrily drove all the servants out.

"This stick." Li Si scolded angrily.

"Come on, prepare a car for me." Li Si thought that Shang Wen could not continue to mess around like this.I think that it is time to implore King Qin to order the cancellation of this election.So immediately set off to Xianyang Palace.

But as soon as he got out of the car, Zhao Gao seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

"Oh, my lord prime minister. The king just asked me to send you a message. I want you to prepare well for the three-day prime minister election." Zhao Gao said respectfully.

"What?" Li Si asked in surprise.

"Your Majesty told you to prepare well." Zhao Gao said respectfully.

"Here. I want to see the king. I would like to ask my father-in-law to tell you." Li Si said.

"Your Majesty said it. Except for important matters, I haven't seen anyone in the past few days. Especially Lord Li and Lord Qin." Zhao Gao said.

"Here. Oh." Li Si sighed, got into the car and left.

For the move of the day.King Qin was also very concerned.He had long thought that Shangwen must have some novel moves.So early in the morning he asked Zhao Gao to keep an eye on it.Report to yourself in detail what happened.Explanation of Shangwen's propaganda slogan and those policies.He listened to them in detail.There are some things that King Qin himself has never thought about.For example, the last mentioned education issue.This question is just the beginning.How to do it.He still doesn't understand.But he knew that this young man could do what he said.How to do it.King Qin really wanted to ask.But consider the campaign.So patiently waited.

And for Li Si.There was no movement for a day.King Qin had no choice but to order someone to encourage him.Accept the facts at hand.

The first day of the 309 campaign

The next day was the first day of the campaign.

At the South City Gate, Qin State built a large arena.This arena is specially made for the election of the prime minister.

The two candidates must first expound their political views within half a stick of incense.Then, there will be mutual questioning, and then the public will be free to ask questions and answer questions.This would be a head-to-head confrontation.

During this period, voters were free to register with the city gate officials.Then choose your own prime minister according to your fingerprints.For this reason, the State of Qin specially allocated a large amount of paper to be used as ballots for this election. Even though it was blank paper, even the names of the people on it had to be filled in by the government.Then press the fingerprints.Last vote.Although a little too public.But this is the first time the pair have run for prime minister in this way.It was the first time for Great Qin.All the people who had gone through a day of publicity came to the gate of Nancheng early in the morning.King Qin also rushed to the south gate to check the situation of the election.

It is still very cold in the winter morning.But they couldn't resist the Qin people electing their own prime minister.Many of them came early in the morning.If you can't come, ask someone to come and hear what's going on.Especially what the young right minister said.They are very desperate to get accurate information.See if that thing called education is real.It can be said that they came here for Shangwen.

The campaign was supposed to start an hour later.But see this situation.Qin Wang made a special order.The campaign starts early.This made Li Si very uneasy.Because his manuscript has not been finished yet.Although I have literary talents.But it's so blatant to run for office.He really can't write it.

First up was Li Si.Li Si walked onto the stage with a thick manuscript.There are so many people watching.He actually made the prime minister who had seen the world nervous.The manuscript has the wrong number of pages.

Li Si read half a page in a daze before realizing it.Knowing that he couldn't go back like this, Li Si bite the bullet and read.The manuscripts are almost all in classical Chinese style.That is to say, the kind listed above.There are all kinds of people watching below, but civilians account for a large number of people.There are very few who can understand.A lot of people are starting to look impatient.The venue began to be noisy.

"Oh. What is the Prime Minister reading? I'm sleepy after listening to it." Shang Wen said with a hutch.

"Oh, don't say you don't understand. Even I, who can understand, almost fell asleep. This old guy is not as good as you. I think you are the prime minister." Yingyu was happy Said.

In the stands below, two people also shook their heads. "The prime minister of the Great Qin Kingdom has a very good literary talent. It's a pity. The people in the audience don't understand and don't know what they want. How can they win the hearts of the people." Princess Liu Yi shook her head and said.

"Princess...Young Master said so." Zhang Liang corrected himself.

The half stick of incense arrived soon.Poor Li Si, he was kicked out of the stage by the police before he finished reading half of the manuscript in his hand.

Next came Shangwen on stage.Shangwen has a manuscript, but he feels a little nervous holding the manuscript to read.So decisively discard the manuscript.Go on stage empty-handed.Just came on stage.Everyone saw the young right-hand man coming empty-handed.Everyone praised his courage, and many people shouted "Cai."

Naofumi responded with a smile.

"To the ladies and gentlemen. Good morning." Naofumi still used modern polite language.This has also become Shang Wen's own logo.

"Okay. Okay." The people at the bottom thought it was a greeting, so they immediately agreed.

Shangwen waved his hand.The people below also waved.

"Yesterday's speech, maybe some people have heard it yesterday. But I still need to enter now, considering the relationship of time. I will briefly explain my point of view. If you have any questions, just wait until the Q&A session to ask questions. OK Is it?" Shang Wen first explained.

"Good." Everyone began to answer with the word good.

Shangbun's policy was mentioned yesterday, but today it is only compressed into a certain period of time. In this half-pillar of time, Shangbun explained the countermeasures in various aspects of military affairs, politics, diplomacy, education, and infrastructure construction.These countermeasures are all described in vernacular, a language that many people can understand.The people below heard it clearly, and the king of Qin also nodded in approval.Princess Liu Yi listened fascinated.Ying Yu was excited to hear that.Zhang Liang was shocked.This is the first time that a country's policy development direction has been fully displayed to the public.There are also a large number of businessmen from the six countries around the stands, and they are here to listen.

The speech will be over soon.According to the rules, at this time, the people can vote for the people they elect.Many people who were fascinated by listening, began to wake up and went to register to vote.It's a pity that the preparations were not in place, and I didn't expect so many people to appear all at once.So the King of Qin ordered to call the Imperial Forest Army to participate.This eased the crowd that was suddenly crowded.

Princess Liu Yi, who was fascinated by listening, went to vote with her legs and feet in disbelief.In the end, he was reprimanded by Qin officials, "Why do Koreans participate in our Daqin's affairs?" Princess Liu Yi was a little embarrassed by this.

The mutual questioning phase begins.Li Si asked first.Seeing his mistake in the first session, Li Si planned to get back immediately in the second session.He heard about Naofumi's trade with the Six Nations.He also noticed.This issue was *aborted without mention in yesterday's session due to the loud cheers of the crowd.When it was mentioned just now, everyone was shocked.They still don't understand what's going on.I can't even accept this fact.

This question was quickly poked out by Li Si.Everyone looked at Shangwen quietly.Many Qin people still don't understand why they want to trade with the six countries.

"Speaking of this question, what I want to say is that as long as trade is launched, Qin can increase taxes. Only with taxes can Zheng Fu's income increase. With these incomes, Zheng Fu can carry out various affairs, infrastructure construction, and education , health care, etc.”

With such a simple explanation, the public understands it.

"In order to encourage everyone to have capital to invest, Qin State adopted tax exemption or less tax policy at the beginning. We need to support the development of some industries. Only in this way can we drive the economic development of our country."

"Doing this will inevitably reduce the country's fiscal revenue. In order to avoid the reduction of fiscal revenue, there will be a large number of industrial products produced after the establishment of those factories to provide markets. Trade with the six countries must be launched. Only trade with the six countries, we High-quality industrial products can go abroad in exchange for the capital for our development." Shang Wen said loudly.

"Only in this way can the people of our country, Qin State, become richer and stronger. We will be proud of our own country. Only in this way can more people from the six countries join our Qin State and participate in the development of Qin State A powerful process should be told.

310 wealth of knowledge

Shang Wen's foreign trade can only give some simple answers, because if you give a detailed answer, it will involve some foreign trade wars. Although the trade war is invisible, its intensity is no less than that of a war in full swing.These things cannot be said, for example, using the scissors difference to try to lower the prices of raw materials in the six countries, adopting a commodity dumping strategy for the products of the six countries from the beginning, and then changing from commodity export to capital export to the six countries.These are all state secrets.If it is said clearly, then the trade war that will start later will not be able to start.Because the six countries can suppress Qin's trade war through government intervention.Once the Six Nations realized it.Then Qin would resort to diplomatic threats, and even had to use military means to solve the problem in the end.This is what Shang Wen does not want to see.The use of military means is undoubtedly fighting a civil war.A sensitive issue that no one in the Civil War wants to touch.

Next it was Shangwen's turn to ask questions.Shangwen knows that on infrastructure issues, especially on education issues.This will be Li Si's fatal injury.Shangwen raised such a question decisively.

In Li Si's view, receiving education is a matter for the upper class.However, Shangwen enlarged the education to the common people's children.In any case, he couldn't accept it.He believes that receiving education is the privilege of the upper class, and it is where the superiority of the upper class is guaranteed.As everyone knows, this once poor student is also one of them, but now because he is in a high position, he has long forgotten the journey of studying poorly.This is the status difference brought about by power.

On this matter, Li Si stubbornly vetoed it.At the same time, Li Si also vetoed a large number of popular votes.Commoners can choose not to eat meat, because they only need to fill their stomachs.But they absolutely cannot accept the fact that their children and future generations cannot receive education.They are eager to make changes themselves and hope that the next generation will change, and receiving education has become their urgent hope.Shang Wen gave them such hope.But Li Si directly vetoed it.

Many people shook their heads and left. They went to the polling station and cast their only vote for Shangwen.They hated and hated a prime minister who didn't think about the future or his own children and grandchildren. Li Si's image had been completely rejected in the hearts of the people.

Once a politician loses his prestige among the people, he will rely on you only for himself regardless of the interests of the people.So it's not just votes that are being discarded.It is also everything that blocks one's own political career.Under a system in which prime ministers are elected.Li Si's political career was completely over.There is no chance of a comeback.

The two sides asked each other several questions.Shang Wenduo used Zheng Fu's function as a breakthrough point, and boldly raided Li Si's short board projects, but Li Si didn't even have the power to parry.The tax issues he asked have successively become opportunities for him to win votes.Although Naofumi himself lost some of the votes.This part of the vote comes from the privileged class.According to regulations, those who previously received credit for military exploits or official positions should pay taxes, especially after the introduction of tax supervision.Some conservative officials disagreed with Shang Wen's move and voted for Li Si one after another.But the vast majority of officials still chose Shangwen very enlightened.Because the officials at this time are still very responsible.Especially under the strict laws of Qin State.Many people think that's how it should be.The privileged class is often a cancer and an obstacle to law enforcement, because many laws with these privileges have to be stopped to intentionally create a blind spot in law enforcement.

The simple Qin people naturally think that this should be done.Everyone should pay taxes, no matter how much you contribute to the country.Taxes are required.It should be.

Moreover, in terms of taxation, Shangwen advocates that taxation should be li, and taxation items should be clear to avoid double collection.Advocate a simple and clear one-time tax.All of a sudden, the merchants of the six countries agreed, but unfortunately they did not have the right to vote, otherwise they would definitely vote for Shangwen.However, they adopted another method to support Shangwen. Those who voted for Shangwen would discount all their products.This move suddenly increased Shangwen's votes.

Finally came the questioning phase.No one asked questions at first.But they are eager to know about the educational mechanism.So they boldly asked some educational questions loudly.Shangwen explained patiently.

"Education. The first is to popularize literacy. Many of our people want to join the factory. To enter the factory, you need to sign a contract document, so as to ensure that you will be paid in time. After you learn to write, you can increase your knowledge reserve. General Qin Build a lot of basic education schools. These schools will educate them separately according to different age groups."

"This knowledge is not a single etiquette. Legal clauses. It is a combination of all kinds of knowledge, which is the precious wealth of knowledge that our ancestors have spent a long time accumulating and inheriting."

"Compared to this knowledge, it is more practical and pragmatic. At the same time, on the basis of these, we will teach some social common sense and moral content. The core of these contents is to educate us to be responsible for the society and the country. .”

"Higher education will be based on these basic education and carry out detailed divisions. For example, chemistry, machinery, mining, agriculture, etc. These talents will be applied to various aspects. Not only these practical talents, we will be in, music, Painting and other arts should be more profound. To enrich the cultural needs of our Great Qin." Shang Wen explained.
