【”After that, Chu State returned to the Shiqing Shilu system”】

【”Of course, not only Chu State, but also other vassal states basically have the system of Shiqing and Shilu.”】.

【”The so-called Shiqing refers to a nobleman under the emperor or the princes and kings. From generation to generation, after the father dies, the son succeeds, and he is successively appointed as a high official like Qing.”】

【”The so-called Shilu means that nobles enjoy the land and tax revenue from generation to generation, after the death of father and son.”】

【”For example, the six ministers of the Jin Dynasty in the past”】

【”In the past, after Jin Wengong returned to China, he established three armies. Each army had one general and one assistant. They were named Zhongjunjiang, Zhongjunzuo, Shangjunjiang, Shangjunjun, Xiajunjiang, and Xiajunzuo. They were called Liuqing in total.”】

【”These three armies and six ministers serve as generals and ministers, govern the state of Jin, and are in charge of all major military and political affairs of the state of Jin.”】

【”Moreover, these six ministers adopt a hereditary system, mainly controlled by eleven families such as the Hu family, the Xian family, and the Que family. They take turns in power in accordance with the principle of”the long-term death is followed by the replacement”.”】

【”Therefore, in Jin State, if it were not for people from these eleven families, it would be impossible for them to get involved in the position of Six Ministers!”】

【”Even if someone outside these eleven families wants to get involved in the position of the Six Ministers, they will be attacked by the joint attack of these eleven families!”】

【”Even if the king of Jin wants to let someone outside of these eleven families take charge of the position of Six Ministers, he will be rejected by these eleven families.”】

【”So in this situation, the king of Jin is just a puppet on the surface of these eleven families.”】

【”Under the Shiqing Shilu system, the monarch will inherently lose the right to appoint many important positions, and the monarch’s power will also be weakened and restricted.”】

【”Under the protection of this system, the power status of those nobles and nobles has become more and more stable.”】

【”After several more generations of careful management, it is possible that the three families will be divided into Jin and Tian.”】

【”Like the current three kingdoms of Wei, Zhao, and Han, they were all originally ministers of the Jin State. After one or two hundred years of management and competition, they finally controlled most of the power of the Jin State.”】

【”In the end, the three families of Wei, Zhao, and Han jointly carved up the Kingdom of Jin and transformed themselves into a country.”】

【”If the king is like this, let alone the people at the bottom of Guizhou”】

【”Under the Shiqing Shilu system, no matter how many meritorious deeds the Guizhou people at the bottom make, they are just the objects of slavery and suppression by the nobles, and they will never be able to get ahead.”】

【In the words of Prince Fusu, he did not hide his dissatisfaction with the Shiqing Shilu system, as well as his dislike and fear of those noble family members who supported the Shiqing Shilu system.】

【After all, the separation of the three families into Jin and the Tian clan over Qi can be said to be something that no monarch would want to see happen to him or his descendants. 】

Under the sky, when the nobles of the six countries heard that Prince Fusu belittled the Shiqing Shilu system, they immediately couldn’t help but retort:

“Our ancestors have made great contributions to the country and shed blood for the country. If our ancestors did not fight for the country and overcame thorns and thorns for the country, how could we have the country of the past?”

“Our ancestors have such great merits and achievements, and it is only natural that they will bring blessings to us and our descendants.”

“Without Shiqing Shilu, who would be willing to sacrifice his life for the country!”

“The country is not only the country of the king, but also the country of our nobles!”

“The king can be hereditary, so why can’t we, the nobles, be hereditary?”

“Huh, you are so selfless, why don’t you offer up your position as king so that we and other nobles can take turns to do it!”

“After all, it’s not for my own selfish interests as the king!”

“How is this different from us?”

“Moreover, even if we give way to Guizhou, can Guizhou do our job well?”

“Is Qianshou literate? Does Qian Shou know etiquette? Does the head of Guizhou know how to govern a country?”

“The head of Guizhou knows nothing. If the head of Guizhou occupies our position, what else can he do besides harming the country?”

“No matter how many meritorious services the leader of Guizhou has made, isn’t that just what I have arranged for you to command?”

“Without your guidance and arrangements, Guizhou Head would be like a headless fly, what could it have done!”

“As the head of Guizhou, they should farm well and obey the arrangements of our nobles. These are what they should do.”

“As long as the head of Guizhou is obedient and obeys our governance, then the country will naturally be peaceful and the people are in peace, and they will naturally have enough to eat. This is the right way to govern the country!”……

However, no matter how much the nobles of the Six Kingdoms said, no matter how”legitimate” the reasons were, the prince Fusu on the sky screen could not hear a word and continued his thoughts.

【”In contrast, the bottom Guizhou leaders have no chance to stand out in the other six countries.”】

【”But in the Qin State, one can truly rely on military merit to be awarded titles, and one can rise from the bottom of the Guizhou Province to become one of the public ministers in the Qin State’s court.”】

【”This can almost be said to be the only clear upward channel for the current bottom level!”】

【”However, when the Qin State wiped out the six countries and unified the world,”】

【”The scale of subsequent wars in the Qin Kingdom will gradually shrink, the number of similar wars will also gradually decrease, and the original military merit system will gradually become outdated and lose the soil on which it relies for survival.”】

【”Finally, the military meritocracy system, the only clear path to advancement in Guizhou, will gradually be closed to the people of the old Qin Dynasty.”】

【”And this can be said to be intolerable to the people of Lao Qin”】

【”Because once the upward path of the military meritocracy system is closed to them, then they will be like the heads of Guizhou in the other six countries, they will be the heads of Guizhou for a while and remain the heads of Guizhou forever.”】

【”Even if he has been the head of Guizhou for generations, he can no longer become a public minister.”】

【”Therefore, even though the Qin State wiped out the six countries and unified the world, in order to change its identity as the head of Guizhou, in order to make itself and its descendants become public ministers,”】

【”Those millions of old Qin people who support the military merit system still will not rest in peace.”】

【”Since the scale of Qin’s subsequent wars has shrunk, they will find ways to expand the scale of Qin’s wars again!”】

【”Since the number of subsequent wars in Qin has decreased, they will also find ways to increase the number of wars in Qin again!”】

【”Since after Qin unified the world, the military merit system lost the soil on which it could survive, then they re-created the soil for the military merit system to survive!”】

【”In the end, they will force the Qin State to continue to fight foreign wars, creating an opportunity for them to strive for military merit and nobility!”】

【”If the Qin State does not give them such an opportunity, if the monarch does not give them such an opportunity, then even the Qin State and the monarch will not be able to bear the anger of millions of old Qin people.”】

【”In the end, either the State of Qin and its monarch, driven by the resentment of millions of old Qin people, will continue to launch foreign wars.”】

【”Either the state of Qin and its monarch forcibly suppressed the anger of millions of old Qin people, which in turn caused millions of old Qin people to gradually become alienated from the state of Qin and their monarch.”】.
