In 36 1 year BC, Qin Xiaogong ascended the throne. At this time, Qin was located in the west, and it was the weakest and most backward of the Seven Heroes. I feel that "the ministers are not as good as Qin, and their looks are not good", and I am determined to make Qin strong and rich. To this end, he tried to carry out "political reform" to make Qin rich and establish a unified feudal empire, so he ordered the recruitment of talents and the introduction of reform talents from various countries. Shang Yang entered the State of Qin after hearing the news, and put forward a new idea of political reform, which was well appreciated.
Shang Yang realized that without the trust and support of ordinary people, the new law would be difficult to implement. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the new law among the people, the method of "building achievements for trust" was adopted, which won the trust of the people and improved the prestige of the government. After the promulgation of the new law, the state of Qin has changed rapidly, and it can handle affairs according to law from top to bottom. Although the prince later publicly opposed the new law, he would be punished for opposing the new law because of his pre-announcement, and Qin Xiaogong had to agree to punish the prince's teacher.
Therefore, to implement new policies and laws, we must win the trust of the people; Second, we should solicit opinions extensively to ensure the correctness of the new law; Third, we should treat everyone equally, and no one can stay out of the law. Otherwise, it is difficult to achieve great things. With the support of the government, Shang Yang's political reform measures were thoroughly implemented, and slavery was abolished in Qin. The new system and regulations made Qin form an atmosphere of advocating farming, promoted the development of feudal economy and enhanced the combat effectiveness of the army. Qin soon became a feudal country that made the country rich and the people strong, and achieved an epoch-making change in ancient China society.
Since then, it has laid a solid foundation for the reunification of China. It also laid the development model of China feudal society in politics, economy, ideology and culture for more than 2,000 years since Qin Dynasty. Combining with the current social reality, we advocate honesty, which is the basic requirement for citizens' morality. We should discipline ourselves with honest ethics from an early age. Support reform and safeguard the achievements of reform and opening up.
