Chapter 140: He Changed the Kingdom of Zhao
Zhao Kuo originally listened to Han Fei's advice, and the main purpose of coming this time was not to punish the officials, but to make the officials change, be afraid, and dare not act arbitrarily, therefore, Zhao Kuo knew everything, but he still chose to forgive, he just hoped that his arrival would play a beating role, so that the county magistrate, who was not too bad, could do something he should do.
But he didn't expect that his words would make Zhao Xu directly tell his crimes.
Looking at the county magistrate who was kneeling in front of him and crying bitterly, Zhao Kuo sighed, helped him up, and sat him down again, and then said truthfully: "I set out from Handan to punish evil officials, but this is not my purpose, my purpose is to let the officials everywhere treat the people as their hearts, not as grass mustards." In this way, the people will respect the officials as if they were relatives. ”
Zhao Kuo said: "When I have been to various places in Zhao Kingdom, I will come back, and when I come back, if you can truly become the kind of official who loves the people as I said before, I will forgive your crimes, and I will personally recommend you to the king." Hearing Zhao Kuo's words, Zhao Xu got up again, bowed down to Zhao Kuo, and said, "Only!! ”
Because there are many places to go, Zhao Kuo did not stay in Wu'an, and the county order gave two carriages, he said, from here to She, to Luyang There are no townships, the road is far away, and there is no supply, especially from Shiyang to Luyang, there is no place to rest, you can bring more supplies. Zhao Kuo thanked him, and then left Wu'an City, and the county ordered Zhao Xu to bring the people of Wu'an to see him off.
Zhao Kuo's banner rushed in the direction of Shicheng.
In Zhao Guo, there seemed to be some changes, the people looked at the fierce officials with a smile on their faces and followed them to the farmland, watched them return the grain they took from their hands for no reason, and saw the high-ranking county commanders on weekdays come to look for them to inquire about the situation of Nongsang and ask them about the difficulties they encountered. Such a thing suddenly appeared in various regions of Zhao State.
Zhao Kuo's words and deeds in Wu'an City quickly spread out, which also gave everyone a new path to correct their mistakes. Zhao Kuo's purpose is not to punish them, but to make them change, since this is the case, then change for the better, so they began to make up for their mistakes frantically. Of course, some people may really be touched by the truths that Zhao Kuo said to Zhao Xu, and more people just want to keep themselves, but no matter what the motives are, they have begun to change.
They took out their own money, built farm tools, took out their own livestock cubs to give to the people, supported those widows and orphans, and some even took the guests to help those who did not have strong men at home, which is very incredible, from the establishment of the Zhao State to the present, the Zhao people have never seen such officials, just a small favor, so that the people are very moved, very happy, they see these officials, no longer look at them with hatred or anger.
Children sang songs around the officials, the young people bowed in salute, and the old people greeted the officials on behalf of the people of the countryside.
First of all, the people, who perceived the change in the officials, felt an unprecedented respect, and then the officials, who sensed a taste that they had never experienced, the taste of being embraced by the people, the feeling of being truly respected, and the people respected them not because of who they were, but because of their actions. Zhao Guo has undergone an inexplicable change from the inside out.
This amazed the county guards, who almost bit off their tongues when they went to inspect the localities and saw the little officials who were holding the children of the people and telling them stories.
Zhao Guo seems to have changed, although the nobles did not feel any changes, and Zhao Guo did not become strong in an instant, but there was a different atmosphere, which was appearing in Zhao Kingdom, and Zhao Kuo, who was on the way, did not notice it, nor did he know it. He was still talking to Han Fei about his own set of knowledge of governing the country and his own ideas for the future. In various parts of the Zhao State, with the change of a group of witty officials, it is having a greater impact.
This act of changing oneself to obtain Ma Fujun's forgiveness is constantly being imitated.
Xu Li, who was rushing to Handan from the clouds, saw the little official who was plowing the land with the people and sitting in the dirt without any scruples, not to mention how shocked, he immediately found the little official, and asked about his identity and origin, the little official looked at the different elder in front of him, vaguely felt something, and told the truth, and then, there was a news that Ma Fujun had arranged for many people to quietly inquire around the place, and these people were going to report to Ma Fujun.
As a result, more officials immediately joined the ranks.
Perhaps, this is the happiest year for the Zhao people, and for them, the happiest thing is just that the officials no longer bully them, and they are respected.
King Zhao may not be able to see this change, but those Qin spies who stayed in Zhao were in a hurry to record these things, they felt that this matter seemed to be really important, and the Zhao people who were confused and grieving after the war were waking up.
.........
Fan Ju once again got the information sent by the warrior, of course, this is not about the recent changes in Zhao Guo, but the content of the conversation between Zhao Kuo and his disciple that Fan Ju had ordered before. Among Zhao Kuo's disciples, there are actually people arranged by Fan Ju, as early as when Fan Ju decided to use Zhao Kuo to replace Lian Po, he arranged people by Zhao Kuo's side, which was originally to better control Zhao Kuo's movements in the future war.
But now, this Qin Detective is playing a more important role, which is why Zhao Kuo's words and deeds are easily mastered by Fan Ju.
Han Fei stayed by Zhao Kuo's side, and when he asked him for advice, Zhao Kuo would not shy away from the doormen, and similarly, Han Fei would often simplify the truth that Zhao Kuo said, and then tell it to these curious guests, especially with Di Zai, it would be easier for that Qin Detective to get the relevant content, he just didn't want to listen, and Di would forcibly catch him and tell him. Fan Ju looked at the bamboo slip in his hand again.
"Han Fei asked about politics, and Zi said: Fubang Han, the land of the four wars, the west is strong Qin... Tobu Pawn... Inability to be outgoing.. The nations seek change... Han does not harm the government, the monarch governs the law, and the monarch is strong and .....strong", Fan Ju read it carefully and read it aloud.
"Han Fei asked to treat Han, Zi said: Fu Bang Han, the long-term illness is incorrigible...."
Han Fei asked politics again, and Zi said: Unification. Said: One king of the world, the same track, the same book, the same line, the same wealth, the seven people as siblings, can be governed. Fan Ju's hands couldn't help but tremble, the bamboo slips fell to the ground suddenly, he picked up the bamboo slips with trembling hands, and didn't dare to continue to recite loudly, so he had to continue to recite silently in his heart: "Han Fei asked the unifier, Zi said: Qin." ”
Fan Ju jumped up again, looked at the doorman in front of him, and shouted: "Prepare clothes for me, I'm going to meet the king!" ”
There was a burst of chickens and dogs jumping in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and soon, Fan Ju hurried to the Qin Palace. King Qin sat in the palace, reading the bamboo slips in his hand repeatedly as if he was fascinated. The idea of great unification has not yet appeared, that is, the powerful King of Qin, and now the idea is only to occupy more cities and land, so that the Qin people can get more slaves and wealth, and the idea of dividing the world into one country has not yet appeared in his mind.
The first to have such an idea, one in Chu has not yet found his teacher, and the other has followed other teachers in Zhao State. Speaking of which, the proposer of the idea of the two great unification is actually a disciple of the same person, and this teacher is a certain county commander of the state of Chu who does not want to be named, as a Confucian sage, Xunzi's thought is very extensive and active, and Li Si and Han Fei's great unification thought must have been influenced by him.
Therefore, after seeing the conversation between Han Fei and Zhao Kuo, the King of Qin was stunned, he read this question and answer over and over again, Fan Ju did not bother him, just sat aside, lowered his head, Fan Ju's lifelong ambition is to assist Qin to become the most powerful prince, commanding the world, his most arrogant idea is just to let Qin replace the Zhou royal family and let the princes obey.
He once thought that his ambitions were very ambitious, but after learning about Zhao Kuo's thoughts, Fan Ju suddenly noticed a huge gap, the gap between the two sides seemed to have exceeded an era, and he found that he was a little inferior.
King Qin held the bamboo slip like this, sat in a daze for a few hours, suddenly, he threw the bamboo slip on the ground, and beat his chest hard, Fan Ju was startled by him, and hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him, King Qin shouted: "Why is such a sage in Zhao and not in Qin?!" The widow wants to use troops against the Zhao State, please let Wu Anjun come to see the widow, if the king of Zhao does not hand over the horse service, the widow will be peaceful Handan!! ”
Fan Ju hurriedly persuaded: "King, it is not suitable to use soldiers now. The Qin State had just finished several years of campaigning, and the soldiers were tired, and now the Qin State needed to recuperate. Hearing Fan Ju's dissuasion, King Qin also calmed down, sighed, and then took Fan Ju's hand and asked, "What do you think of the great unification that Ma Fujun said?" Fan Ju was silent for a moment, and then said: "Ram Spring and Autumn said: Great unification. ”
"It's just that the unification of Ma Fujun is completely different from the unification of the king... He wanted the king to set up counties in all parts of the world, and the king would directly appoint officials to rule, and there would be no more princes, no more wars... The Qin State will become the only country, and everyone will become the people of the Qin State...", Fan Ju said, he couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead, and he said: "The minister can't say it for a while, please allow the minister to come back tomorrow to talk about this matter." ”
King Qin certainly understood the impact Fan Ju had suffered, because he was the same.
He hurriedly said to Fan Ju: "Please send more warriors to Zhao State, in Handan, in Mafu, you must send enough warriors, let them protect Ma Fujun, collect Ma Fujun's answers, and send them all to Xianyang, in addition, tell the Qin warriors of Zhao State to protect Ma Fujun with all their might, and not let anyone hurt him, let them put down other things, and go all out to collect Ma Fujun's words and deeds..."
"Yui, Yui."
"Also, the answer between Ma Fujun and Dong Chengzi was sent to be copied and sent to all the schools in the Qin State, so that the Qin officials could learn, if they want to enforce the law, they must know what the law is, how the law should be formulated, and how it should be implemented."
"Yui!"
......
Zhao Kuo didn't know that a large group of officials of the Qin State were ready to face his serious recitation and understanding, and on the way to Luyang after passing through Shexian County, he encountered a huge crisis, and he met a thief, a real thief. In the Qin State, because of the harshness of the crime of group robbery, even the thieves did not dare to gather too much, so that if they were caught, there would be no danger to their lives, but in the State of Zhao, there was no crime of group robbery.
When hundreds of thieves poured in from all directions, Zhao Kuo was a little surprised, how could there be so many thieves? The doormen drew their short swords, raised their spears, and gathered around the carriage, facing the crowd, these ragged thieves, with dull yellow faces, cracked lips, holding stones and even wooden sticks, they were not afraid of the cold light of the weapons in the hands of the doormen, they looked a little dull and numb.
The thieves kept approaching, Di looked at the thieves around him fiercely, eager to try, he was not afraid, he was a few heads taller than these thin thieves, he felt that he could kill them with his bare hands, the leader of the thieves was a burly man with a full beard, he stood in the distance, staring at here coldly, constantly shouting, letting the thieves approach, judging from the words of this big man, he was a Korean.
This place is adjacent to Shangdang, and Zhao Kuo instantly understood the origin of these thieves.
Han Fei's face became a little lonely, he stepped down from the carriage, pushed away Di and the others who were around the carriage, and walked directly to those thieves, Di Ben wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Zhao Kuo. The thieves looked at the young man walking towards them, and hurriedly raised the weapon in their hand, but Han Fei threw the short sword in his hand on the ground, and he said something in Korean, Zhao Kuo only understood a few words.
"Han, thief, don't."
Hearing this young man speak Korean, the thieves around him widened their eyes, they looked at Han Fei quietly, even the thief leader forgot to give the order, Han Fei looked very excited, very excited, he said something loudly to everyone, his hands danced, his voice became louder and louder, and he walked directly in the direction of the thieves, but those thieves put down the weapons in their hands in shame, lowered their heads, and kept retreating.
The doormen looked at Han Fei crying and roaring something, saw him hugging those thieves, and saw the thief leader kneeling in front of Han Fei and crying bitterly, this scene was both weird and weird, a group of thieves blocking the way, inexplicably followed a robbed nobleman and hugged each other and cried, almost all the thieves were crying, wiping their tears, and the thief leader smashed his face with his fist fiercely, smashing blood.
Zhao Kuo couldn't understand what they were saying, and he couldn't understand what they were doing. The doormen were even more so, they watched Han Fei chatting with these thieves curiously, and when they saw Han Fei crying, they even wanted to laugh.
Di hurriedly came to Zhao Kuo's side, and he asked curiously, "Who are these thieves from Han Fei?" ”
Zhao Kuo was silent for a moment before he said:
"Family."
