Gongzi Qi, Zhang Ji and others went upstairs together, stood and saluted each other, and sat opposite each other. Zhang Jidao: "I'm just a poor and sour person in Xia, I don't know why Gongzi paid back the food money owed by the store in Xia." ”

"Mr. is talented, and he is respectful to Mr. in the next Qi to express his love for talent and sincerity."

"You are Gongzi Qi, I heard about Gongzi's sage, and when I saw it today, Zhang Ji has already admired Gongzi for a long time," Zhang Ji stood up and knelt in front of Gongzi Qi and said: "Gongzi is above, please accept the next worship." ”

"Please get up," Gongzi Qi helped Zhang Ji up and asked him to sit down, and the shopkeeper brought some food and put it on the table, Gongzi Qi said, "Let's eat first." ”

At this time, Zhang Ji's stomach was already rumbling with hunger, his eyes were staring at the sumptuous meal on the table and even his eyes were about to fall out, when Gongzi Qi said, "Eat first," Zhang Ji was already hungry and began to gobble up, holding a roast chicken in one hand and holding chopsticks in the other hand to send the dish to his mouth, it seems that he has not eaten such a hearty meal for a long time, it seems that Zhang Ji is already poor at this time.

"Sir, there's something I need to ask below."

Zhang Ji put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked at Gongzi and said, "Childe, you and I don't have to be polite, just ask." ”

"My country of Ba is weak, there are powerful Qin, Zhao, and Qi in the north, and Chu in the south, and they are all eyeing our country of Bashu, but what about the two countries of Bashu? It can be said that our country is in a state of crisis, so the question is how to make our country strong and our people rich. ”

"The Qin state was strong through business and martingale, and the strategy of long-distance friendship and close attack continued to weaken the Han and Wei countries, and the vassal states were afraid of it. These so-called six countries in the East, there are Su and Qin wearing the seal of the six countries, and they joined forces to resist Qin and block the powerful Qin State in Hangu Pass, but the kings of the six countries were blind and fought with each other like the border dispute between the two countries of Bashu, and the alliance quickly collapsed, Qin and Qi and Chu formed an alliance to attack Han and Wei, eliminate their elite, and make Qin completely eliminate the unscrupulous soldiers who went out to Hanguguan and threatened Zhao and Chu. Our Bashu is known as the country of abundance, Qin is coveted by our Bashu, and the two countries of Bashu are also in danger. The lips are cold and the teeth are cold, and he sent eloquent people to lobby the monarch of Shu to eliminate border disputes, lobby the princes of various countries to form an alliance with him, and change the law to become strong. ”

"Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years, and I need your help in the future, please don't dislike it."

"I am willing to follow Childe and assist Childe in his reform."

Gongzi Qi got up and walked downstairs, Zhang Jihe followed by the county Cheng, and when he went downstairs, the county Cheng took out the silver taels and walked to the counter to pay the bill. The shopkeeper knew that the person who walked out was Gongzi Qi, and said, "We can't accept Gongzi's money, I invited the money for this meal." ”

"This can work, Childe has instructed, you must pay for eating the things of the common people, otherwise Childe will punish me."

The shopkeeper only accepted the money in the hands of the county Cheng, and after the county Cheng finished paying, he walked out and stood in front of Gongzi Qi, Gongzi Qi turned around and said, "Have you paid all the money?" ”

"Paid."

"Well, okay, you go back first to assist the county commander Chen Zizhen to deal with some government affairs, and Mr. Zhang and I will go to the city for a walk." Gongzi Qi nodded with satisfaction, stood and walked with Zhang Ji with Confucian etiquette, and the county returned the salute and took a few steps back and turned to leave.

"Sir, Yang Bingrong sent Xiuniang home to lure Li San to appear, fearing that Li San would fall into the hands of the county commander Feng Qingmao and kill him, so he rushed over that night, but to my surprise, Li San did not appear in the western suburbs of Pengcheng that night, I think this is...

On a moonlit night, the cold air drifted in the night sky, and it seemed so cold. Li San hurriedly walked out of the darkness and entered the mountain temple and said, "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang." ”

Zhang Ji walked out and smiled: "It's Li San, come and ask to take a seat," Zhang Ji sat on the ground and looked at Li San, thinking that this Li San was in such a hurry, he must have come to bid farewell to him, and he had already thought of a way to deal with it, and a faint smile appeared on his face, which seemed so amiable.

"The embroidery girl is back, I want to go back, and I'm here to bid you farewell tonight."

"You won't sue for this."

"Of course I have to sue, I will meet the embroidery lady and go to the capital to sue with the embroidery girl."

"Well, you go back," Li San turned around and stepped out, but Zhang Ji's words made him stop moving forward, and said, "You may die if you take a step down the mountain." ”

Li San turned around, his face showed a strange look, and said, "Sir, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Do you know why I disguised you as my retinue and escaped from Pengcheng and hid in this Suishan Mountain? Because of the security here, the officers and soldiers will not search here. Today, I entered Pengcheng to investigate, and found that the officers and soldiers in the city searched very tightly, so why did these officers and soldiers search tightly? Because Gongzi Qi is in this Pengcheng, they panicked, afraid that if you fall into the hands of Gongzi Qi, their status or their own heads will not be guaranteed, so they searched door to door. You go down the mountain and enter the city this time, I am afraid that before you enter the city, you will be caught by the officers and soldiers outside the city and convicted of a crime, so how can you avenge your dead father, your father not only died unjustly, but also took your life, including Xiuniang," Zhang Ji stood up and looked up at the sky and sighed.

"Well, sir is right, so what should we do next?"

"Wait for the opportunity, wait and see the development of the situation, I will write a complaint, and accompany you into the city tomorrow to observe, if the investigation is lax, if the market is in order, then it proves that the county order Feng Qingmao has been taken down by Gongzi Qi, then you can bring a complaint I wrote to the county government to beat the drum and sound the grievances, Gongzi Qi Xianming, your case will be handled impartially," After speaking, he took out a silk scarf, which still had a faint fragrance of orchids floating on it, and sat in front of Qingshi and began to write a complaint, and Li San stood aside to put on a lamp for him.

Gongzi Qi and Zhang Ji returned to the county office, went to the lobby, and gathered the Pengcheng Prefecture Minister, the County Guard, and the County Order. Gongzi Qiwang looked at the hall, and after everyone arrived, he said: "Lord County Commander, have some of the reform plans I ordered to draft have been completed?" ”

"Childe Qiqi, now that the drafting has been completed, please take a look at it."

"Well, okay, bring this draft forward," Gongzi Qi looked at the two stunned people standing next to him, and the second stunned man took over the reform plan, Gongzi Qi took this plan, looked at it seriously, and looked at Zhang Ji and said: "Mr. Zhang, I don't know how this draft is drafted?" Please also take a look. ”

Gongzi Qi handed over this reform plan to the hands of the second stunned man, Zhang Ji took it and looked at it, and said with great joy: "Gongzi reformed the Jingtian system of Zhou, and paid taxes for Tian Kaiqian Mo and sealed the territory, which can be described as a groundbreaking move. ”

"Well, Lord Prefectural Order, seeing that this draft is written as an article, I will show you that it will be posted at the gates of various cities after it is meaningless, and the changes will be implemented."

This article was posted at the gate of the various counties of Pengcheng, and many people and wealthy families gathered at the gate of the city to see this reform article, some people are really happy and some are worried! The storm of change. The vagaries of the clouds and clouds will inevitably cause some bloody storms, and the old-fashioned forces who sacrificed for this change, and the diehards who do not understand the changes and know their ways, such as the children of wealthy families or scholars, gathered in the Yang Mansion, and Yang Kun stood in the middle.

"These slaves have been promoted to civilians and taken our land, what do you want to do next?"

"Take it back, and not an inch of land can be lost."

The world is not chaotic in Shu first, and the world has been governed in Shu and then governed, this proverb should be chaotic, difficult to govern, and stubborn for our people in Bashu. In this way, social changes will inevitably cause a big turmoil, bloody private fighting, a large group of people and two forces of chaos, two sides of the collision with each other, holding hoes, shovels have become tools for private fighting, hundreds of people in order to fight for land to hit each other, hit, each head broke blood, corpses piled up into mountains, the blood flowing out can become a small river. These corpses floated on the river or the river, rushing from upstream to downstream, and even the river water was dyed red, and this large-scale private fight alarmed the county officials in Pengcheng, and even the officials in various places in Pengcheng began to discuss this change, and even began to doubt whether this change was the way to strengthen the country and enrich the people.
