In "The Book of Shang Jun", the main symbol of a monarch as a wise ruler and a saint is to achieve "rich country and strong army". All the issues discussed in "Shang Jun Shu" basically revolve around the core of "rich country and strong army". It talks about "strong country, strong country, rich country, strong army, strong army and invincibility". Words are used throughout. In fact, Qin Xiaogong and Shang Yang implemented reforms in Qin precisely for this purpose. "Gengfa Pian" says: "The law is to love the people; the etiquette is to facilitate things. This is why the sage can strengthen the country without following the law; he can only benefit the people without following the etiquette." This is the proof. Regarding strength as the foundation of a country and realizing the strength of the country are the main principles of the political thought of "Shang Jun Shu". "The Shenfa Pian" says: "The reason why the country is important, and the reason why the master is respected, is strength." The "Agricultural War Pian" says: "The regular officials will govern the country, and the one thing will make the country rich." The "Hua Ce Pian" also says: "The so-called strength is Those who have courage will have to use it for themselves. If their ambition is sufficient, the world will benefit from it; if they are deficient, the world will tell them; if they rely on themselves, they will win the world. Those who can win the world will win first. The enemy is the one who wins first. ""Historical Records: Biography of Shang Jun" says: "A clan cannot be a member of the clan unless it has military merit." The monarch strengthened his army through war, and the people gained military honors through war. In the atmosphere of war in the entire society, Qin's social organization, ideology, and administrative policies were all quasi-military, eventually forming a society with strong military implications. In such a society, absolute obedience and strict hierarchy become the main features. Hope this helps you
