Implementing Legalism requires a massive injection of energy; only in this way can the military nobility system be maintained.

If you want to rise one rank, you need to kill five enemies, which can basically transform an ordinary soldier into a low-ranking noble with land, servants, and the ability to ride in carriages.

Without a large-scale expansion, there are simply not enough resources to support such a reward system.

The military merit and nobility system and strict laws are complementary; when the Qin Empire has already unified and military merit is no longer relevant, the common people find it hard to endure harsh laws.

Therefore, the Han Dynasty first used Huang-Lao philosophy and later Confucianism.

Why?

Legalism is an aggressive system but is not suitable for maintaining stability.

Confucianism, on the other hand, is a system for maintaining stability, emphasizing orderly classes and mutual benefit between the upper and lower classes (loyalty to the ruler vs. benevolence and righteousness).
