Chapter 289: The Lord's Order Me to Leave
At the beginning, the king of Wei used seventy miles of land to send Kong Bin to the state of Zhao.
This gave King Han a lot of inspiration, he was thinking, even one Kong Bin is worth seventy miles of land, how much can a Xunzi be worth? At least Zhao Guo can take out a hundred miles of land in exchange, right?
It's a pity that this idea of King Han was met with crazy opposition from Minister Zhang Ping, Zhang Ping pointed to King Han's nose and roared very rudely: "If you tie up Xunzi today, Korea will perish tomorrow!" ”
Xunzi didn't know that King Han actually had his own idea, of course, because of Zhang Ping's dissuasion, when Xunzi left Xinzheng, King Han didn't send anyone to arrest him. This made King Han feel very regretful, but it was a pity that he had an opportunity to get a hundred miles of land, but fortunately, King Han still remembered Ma Fujun's previous teachings and should listen to the advice of the prime minister. After Xunzi left Xinzheng, King Han had other ideas.
Zhang Ping sat weakly in the palace, in fact, Zhang Ping is not very old, but from the outside, he is much older than King Han, this is because he has a lot of government affairs to deal with, and the difficulties he faces are also very great, South Korea is sandwiched between countries, whether it is self-preservation, or seeking development, it is a very difficult thing. After Jang Pyeong became Minister of State, he made South Korea improve through a series of agricultural reforms.
Unfortunately, this improvement was destroyed by the changeable diplomatic relations of South Korea, which always changed its position, sometimes helping Wei, sometimes taking refuge in Chu, sometimes obeying Qin, all countries did not want to see it, the people suffered from war, and any effort of Zhang Ping was easily destroyed by the war... Zhang Ping was a man who could take pleasure in suffering, he was not pessimistic, he may have been disappointed in the king, but he never despaired of Korea.
Years of war, or years of defeat, have almost wiped out the aristocratic power of Korea, and the whole of Korea has a serious shortage of officials, extremely low administrative efficiency, and there is a lot of fertile arable land, but there is not enough labor, no outstanding generals, and no soldiers who can fight... Commerce was also hit hard, caravans were not protected, they were bullied abroad, not to mention the handicraft industry... South Korea's several important raw material production areas have now been taken away.
South Korea is almost completely collapsed and vulnerable.
But Zhang Ping did not give up.
He took advantage of the rare peace period in South Korea to change the current situation, first of all, he lowered taxes, and reduced the taxes of the whole of Korea to the lowest point, because South Korea does not need to go to war, does not need to support officials, and does not even have to accumulate food for construction... This act gave the Koreans a chance to breathe, and successfully attracted a lot of people, and many Koreans who had fled also returned to their own countries.
Zhang Ping read through the content of "Ma Fu Shu", and began to divide the land according to the Korean people, as long as it is an adult male, he can get a share of the land... He set up a school in Xinzheng to unconditionally recruit young people to study, of course... He is in charge of this school and teaches it. Moreover, according to the law of Zhao Guodong Chengzi, he copied a copy of the Han law, and asked the officials in various places to act according to the new law.
With Zhang Ping's efforts, South Korea is developing in a good direction, Zhang Ping put his main energy on agriculture and commerce, he spent a lot of effort to encourage agriculture, promote advanced agricultural tools, and he set up a detailed plan for 20 years, from the officials, agriculture, commerce, handicrafts, and even the army, there are detailed plans, many of which are from the "Mafu Book".
The purpose of Zhang's 20-year long-term plan is only to give South Korea the power to defend itself and deal with war with its allies without causing domestic collapse.
King Han smiled and sat on the top position, recently, South Korea has poured into a lot of people, and the number of businessmen in Xinzheng has also increased significantly, showing a "prosperous" scene, King Han is very happy, he thinks that all this is because of his strategy, if it was not for his timely bow to Qin, South Korea would not have such a development. Zhang Ping sat on the sidelines, still thinking about how to ensure that they could all own land while increasing their household registration, while King Han was already thinking about how to take revenge on Qin in the future.
"Zhang Xiang... Xunzi is right. ”
"The widow endured the humiliation in the past, and came to meet the king of Qin with the courtesy of a minister to meet the king.... Now, many years have passed, and in these days, the widow is eager to sleep on the wood, thinking about the shame he has suffered all day long, and never thinking of giving up his revenge on the Qin State... Now that Korea is gradually prospering, the widows want to follow Goujian...."
"Shangjun...", Zhang Ping shook his head and said a little tiredly: "You have also been to the Qin State and seen the capital of the Qin State.... Korea is not Qin's opponent, when you turned your back on Chu Zhao Wei and obeyed the orders of the King of Qin, this made all countries hate Korea very much, because of Qin's protection, they did not dare to attack Korea, if you want to break the agreement with Qin, these countries will pounce like jackals, but South Korea has no strength to stop them..."
King Han nodded and smiled.
"Hmm..."
"You have a point."
At some times, Zhang Ping really wanted to dig up Shen Buxian's grave and whip his body, but Zhang Ping still couldn't help it, not only because of Shen Buxian's contribution to South Korea, not just because such behavior was immoral, but more importantly, there was no fault in learning, but there were some problems with people who learned this knowledge... Zhang Ping continued: "I heard that the son of South Korea served as a court lieutenant in the Qin State, which is a good thing for South Korea. ”
"Please reward his family... If so, I hope you can write to him and ask him to come to Korea, I have heard that he is a very learned man, and if he comes to Korea, I can give him the position of Minister of State..."
"Not??" , Han Wang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly, he laughed, shook his head and said, "Wrong? Fei is still a half-old child, Qin actually used him as a minister?? Hahaha, it seems that this Qin State is also going to decline after the death of King Zhaoxiang! ”
"Your Excellency... I heard that King Zhaoxiang also attaches great importance to Han Fei, Han Fei has done his best to serve the true legend of the king, and has met the king of Qin many times, and the ministers of the Qin State have been very to him..."
"Well, you don't know... He grew up watching a widow, what is he like, isn't it clear to the widow? The child stuttered from an early age, was timid, and was afraid to talk to others... However, he is indeed a good boy...", Han Wang smiled, as if recalling the past, he said seriously: "When he was young, he was always ridiculed by other children, learn him to speak... At that time, the widow was the oldest of the children of the clan, so he often helped him and beat the children who laughed at him! ”
"However, when he grew up, he was no longer as close to the widow as he used to be... He was always talking to himself..."
King Han suddenly became a little more serious, he looked at Zhang Ping, and said, "Even if you want to take revenge on the Qin State, you can't use him!" That child was raised by a widow, he is a widow's clan, if you want to hold his family hostage to persecute him, the widow will not agree! ”
Zhang Ping was stunned, "When did I say I was going to kidnap his family??" ”
"Shangjun, I just think, let him return to Korea..."
"Well, needless to say, he's just a half-grown kid, and what can he do when he goes back to Korea? Since he can be respected in the Qin State, this is also a good thing, let him continue to be in the Qin State, maybe he can get the title in the Qin State in the future... Hahaha~~", King Han laughed again, he looked at Zhang Ping, and said with emotion: "The widow is really old, the child who hid behind the widow at the beginning is now holding an important position in the Qin State...."
"So be it... The widow wrote a letter to the King of Qin and asked him to take care of Han Fei..."
"Your Excellency... If you really think about him and don't want him to return to Korea, then don't write a letter, otherwise, I'm afraid it will cause the jealousy of King Qin..."
"Oh... It's okay, then I won't write it. ”
"Zhang Xiang... When the widow completes his revenge, you are the widow's Fan Li, and the widow will definitely make you richer than Fan Li! ”
"Alas... The minister never thought about seeking wealth for himself...", Zhang Ping said, and said silently in his heart: As long as I don't see the day when Korea will fall, I will be content.
..........
King Wei sat in the palace, frowning and looking a little annoyed.
He looked at Long Yangjun on the side, and said with some annoyance: "It took five whole years, and you... Just made this "Household Law"? Long Yangjun stood aside, King Wei's reprimand made him a little at a loss, King Wei had never criticized him so harshly, Long Yangjun continued: "Shangjun... It was not an easy task to make a law, and I gathered scholars from all over the country, and it took them five full years, day and night, without rest, to complete it."
It turned out that at the beginning, when Dong Chengzi revised the law in Zhao State, and Ma Fujun proposed that all countries need a complete law, King Wei thought about formulating the law of Wei, and initially by copying Qin Law, but Qin Law is not very similar to the actual situation of Wei State, and changes need to be made, so King Wei let Long Yangjun be responsible for this matter, and on the basis of Qin Law, a complete set of Wei laws was established.
King Wei looked at the bamboo slip in his hand, this is the "Household Law" and "Running Life Law" handed to him by Long Yangjun, which are all punishment provisions for "false door and rebellion, and son-in-law and husband". King Wei was a little irritable, looking at these bamboo slips, and put it heavily on the case, he asked a little angrily: "What is the use of punishing some businessmen and sons-in-law?" Over the years, the widowed scholars have been thinking about how to punish the businessmen and sons-in-law. ”
And the King of Wei's side, there is not only Long Yangjun alone, in front of the King of Wei, there is also a young scribe, this scribe is tall, looking magnificent, quite extraordinary, he saw the dispute between the King of Wei and Long Yangjun, so he raised his head and said: "What you said is not right, in my opinion..."
"The widow is talking to Long Yangjun!" , King Wei interrupted him very unceremoniously, a trace of anger flashed on the young man's face, he didn't speak again, looked straight ahead, Long Yangjun had no choice but to say: "Shangjun, the territory of Wei is vast, and there are many people, but some people have abandoned the city and fled to the wilderness to reclaim the land by themselves, and some have become people's sons-in-law and stepfathers for the sake of happiness, many people are afraid of agricultural taxes, so they go to be merchants, shopkeepers..."
"The law we have formulated is to punish these people, not to allow them to be independent households, not to grant fields and houses, but to compile the household registration, which is the most important work that the Wei State should carry out at present, after the household registration is compiled, the households on the household registration will be given fields and homestead according to the number of people, and a large amount of land in the Wei State will be distributed to these people, so as to increase the strength of the Wei State, and at the same time, the revision of the household registration can also play a more role..."
King Wei shook his head and said with some disdain: "Isn't this the method of the Qin State?" ”
"No, this is different from the household registration of the Qin State, it is impossible for the Qin State to achieve it at all, we do not set up peasant households, artisan households, etc., we will distribute land to all the people who have registered for the household registration, and the Qin State distributes the land according to the title...", Long Yangjun said the difference... The more King Wei listened, the more bored he became.
"According to the decree, these low-status people can only change their status after three generations, and after three generations, those who want to be officials still have to indicate on their official register that they are sons-in-law." , Long Yangjun said seriously: "Through these methods, we can increase the number of people engaged in farming, stabilize the domestic situation, and increase the strength of Wei..."
"That's it! The widow knows! ", King Wei shouted.
Long Yangjun lowered his head aggrievedly, his eyes red.
When King Wei saw Long Yangjun like this, his anger vanished, he cleared his throat, and said helplessly: "The widow is not angry with you, but the ministers in the country, and the revised law cannot meet the expectations of the widow... Please don't care. Long Yangjun said aggrievedly: "The minister is the person in charge of this matter, if there is a fault, it is also the fault of the minister, please punish it." ”
"Alas... Forget it, so be it, let the new law be implemented everywhere. ”
King Wei shook his hand helplessly, and then said to Long Yangjun with a smile: "Please sit closer...", Long Yangjun raised his head and looked at the young man sitting in front of King Wei, and King Wei remembered that the person in front of him, this person was recommended by Duan Ganzi to himself, saying that after what kind of sage, the son of the public family, but King Wei did not know him. After the king of Wei taught him, before he had time to say anything more to him, Long Yangjun came up and used the law that had taken many years to make him angry.
King Wei looked at the young man in front of him, and said a little casually: "The widow still has important matters to discuss with Longyang Jun, please come back to visit another day." ”
The young man smiled and stood up, bowed lightly to the two of them, and left the palace.
As soon as he left the palace, he saw Duan Ganzi driving in the distance, Duan Ganzi obviously saw him too, and he jumped out of the car with a smile.
"Captain... How's it going? What official position did the Emperor grant you? ”
"No official position was conferred, and the Emperor ordered me to leave the Wei State."
"Uh-huh???"
