Although it is winter, the beautiful scenery of the Hetao grassland is still beautiful and intoxicating, and a herd of fat and strong war horses, like the dark clouds of Shu Juan, flow in the east and west on the grassland. Flocks of cattle and sheep are like white clouds in the sky, fluttering slowly. In the distant mountains and forests, in winter, they are not verdant but dark. Mixed with the fields harvested in the grassland, there are canals led by the Yellow River and its tributaries, frozen and shiningly dividing the fields into square squares, and the scattered cottages are filled with children's laughter.

It's really a real picture of an idyll.

Zhao Xing's motorcade was mighty, and the swagger of the flag wave through the market attracted the people of the villages along the way to run out to see the strange and lively.

In the crowd of onlookers, there were Zhou people on the right and herdsmen on the left, and in principle, this naturally hostile people stood together in harmony, pointing at the luxurious convoy.

And when passing by a village, the people didn't know what news they had gotten, the Zhou people called out to the children in panic, pulled them closer to the village to hide, and rushed out of the village A group of fierce Linhu people, riding on bareback horses, holding scimitars, vigilantly monitored Zhao Xing's convoy, until Zhao Xing's people passed, presented two salted fish to the leader, and then let the other party collect the men and horses, and lifted the guard.

"It seems that among the barbarians in Linhu, there are also masters in agriculture and animal husbandry." Zhao Xing observed along the way, and sighed worriedly. As a neighbor, and also a neighbor of the Linhu people, who are mainly barbarians, such a fusion of nomads and farming peoples complement each other and learn from each other's strengths, for Zhao Guo, this is definitely not a good neighbor.

"The Mo we meet today is the Qin people, according to the rules, his name is Qin Mo, he has witnessed the Shang Yang reform from beginning to end, he is the beneficiary of the Shang Yang change, and the victim of the Shang Yang change. He fled to Limhu and defected to King Rimhu, hoping that King Ringhu would avenge him.

King Linhu admired his talent, and immediately granted him the title of farmer, and handed over the land affairs of the entire clan to him, which was equivalent to handing over the entire Hetao region to him. In fact, he is now the king of the Loop.

In order to enrich Lin Hu and take revenge on him, he also governed here conscientiously. He not only brought advanced farming techniques from the Central Plains to the people in the Linhu Hetao area, but also brought rules to the Linhu people. Therefore, this is the only place where there is a barbarian nomad who has a law, and whether it is a nomad or a migrated Zhou people, the law is enforced. ”

"You know a lot." Zhao Xing praised Xu Jie.

Xu Jie said proudly: "As an ambitious scholar, a scholar who is not willing to be mediocre, you must have the world in mind." Only by grasping the dynamics of the world can we assist the virtuous lord to show his ambitions. If you don't know what to ask, you can only be a mediocre talent, and you will eventually be forgotten and abandoned. ”

"At the beginning, the government helped me make a decision, which is enough to see your talent. The strategy we are now carrying out to break up the five-nation alliance is enough to show how well you have made preparations with the world in mind. ”

Xu Jie's face was red, he was accepted by Zhao Xing when he sold himself on the long street, and then entered the house and beat himself violently, eliminating his arrogant and arrogant self-righteousness. Rewarding himself with the highest standard of treatment for his scholars just made him grateful to Zhao Xing. And the Lord's plan to relieve the huge crisis of the five countries made him feel the breadth and profundity of Zhao Xingzi's knowledge and wisdom, and he was truly impressed by him.

And the envoy Lou Fu, the improvisation of the fairy-like operation, really let himself worship this lord.

The Lord will not know about such a change in his mentality, only he will feel it the most.

And the master is the master and slave, the teacher and the student, but it is closer to the expression of the feelings of friends and brothers, so that Xu Jie is willing to follow his life.

"In fact, such a meticulous and grand plan is still led by my husband, and I am just improvising to fill in the gaps. And the implementation of this section of the guidance due to the situation is a full embodiment of the wisdom of Mr., and the disciple is far inferior. ”

Zhao Xing got out of the car and said to Xu Jie: "As the saying goes, one person is short-minded, and many people are long-term." Learning from each other's strengths is the key to success. If one person is arbitrary, that is arrogance, and the final outcome is certain death. ”

The reason why he got off the bus was because he saw an old farmer in the field who was still working hard in the winter, and he wanted to ask what kind of motivation made him so industrious.

The old man had no name, and when he saw this nobleman asking about farming, taxes, and daily life in such an approachable manner, he was not sincerely afraid, and after receiving the reward of two salted fish, he knew everything about Zhao Xing's inquiry.

"The first thing he did after he took office was to consolidate and sort out the land that we had cultivated by ourselves, and then divide it into a square with a canal and a canal, and strictly stipulate that it was not allowed to encroach upon and excavate the land, and if it was committed, it would be punished with twenty lashes. This Qianmo allows us to clearly know how big our field is and where it is, and we can't just encroach on other people's land. ”

Zhao Xing and Xu Jie glanced at each other.

One of the main contents of the Shang Dynasty reform was that Fei Jingtian opened up Qianmo, which expanded the area of cultivated land in the Qin State countless times and made the people of the Qin State rich.

And this Qin Mo, who was directly taught by Shang Ying's reform, went the opposite way in this area where the people were fierce and mixed, and implemented the Jingtian system, so that the people could understand the rules and abide by the rules. Such a change makes it impossible to know how much bloody weapons have been reduced here.

"The quality of a policy is not the original intention when it is formulated, but the outcome of the implementation according to local conditions. Contingency is the key to good or bad policies. Xu Jie commented with deep feelings.

"Zhou peasants like us do not participate in the conquest, and fighting is the business of those Linhu people. The peasant envoy also stipulated that the eleventh wheat we harvested should be handed over to the public warehouse on the Zhuangzi for famine, and then turned over to the thirteenth to prepare for war in the royal court. If it is to rent the land of the master's family, the thirteenth will be handed over to the master, and the rest will be his own. You see, this is the land I rent, and if I want to leave more food, I have to work hard, so I can't be idle in winter, and there is winter work in winter. ”

"Don't you have a grudge against such heavy taxes and rent?" Zhao Xing asked this crucial question.

The old man was surprised, and then settled the account for Zhao Xing: "A portion of the public warehouse grain is prepared for famine, once there is a natural disaster, we will still eat back our stomachs, in fact, this is still mine?" If I prepare for the war, I will spend money to buy someone else to fight for me, so that not only will I not be in danger of my life, but I will also be able to continue to work on my farm and get more food. Then those three shares are not equivalent to spending on myself. And isn't it natural for the old man's field to collect three parts of the rent? In this way, seven parts of the yield of my land have been spent on my own, and I should not be grateful for the kindness of the rules laid down by the farmer? ”

Zhao Xing was speechless, and secretly changed the concept to make the people grateful to Dade. Let those who can fight, do their best to fight, and those who can farm, let them farm with all their might, such talents are actually more outstanding than Shang Ying and others.

Saying goodbye to the old man with a smile, when Zhao Xing and Xu Jie pedaled again, the smiles on the faces of the two people disappeared completely, and they said in unison: "This son, if it can't be used by me, he will be killed." ”
