Wei Ying's westward entry into the Qin State may feel both sudden and natural for Wei Kai, but for Wei Ying, this may not be a sudden idea, but a long time ago, Wei Ying had the idea of traveling to the barbarian Qin land in the eyes of the countries.

As for when was the earliest? It may be when Wei Ying was studying at the beginning, or when he later followed his teacher Gongsun Acne, but in the end, he promoted Wei Ying, a descendant of the royal family of Wei Ying, to go thousands of miles to Qin, which was the news of Wei Kai's victory in Chencang in Qin.

At the beginning, after Gongsun Acne and Wei Wangying had a big argument, they were full of grief and anger at home, perhaps because they were old, and they were moved by the public acne in the dark, but they were afraid that after their death, Wei Ying would be embarrassed by Pang Juan or Gongzi Wei, so he let his old slave escape from Anyi City with Wei Ying overnight.

After Wei Ying left the city, he did not fly away and get out of the whirlpool of power in Anyi City as Gongsun Yan expected, but secretly returned to Anyi City.

People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless?

Although Gongsun Yan is not a world-famous saint, on the contrary, he often acts for his own selfishness, but Wei Ying can still feel the expectations of this old man who has been for Wei all his life.

So on the day of Gongsun Acne's funeral, Wei Ying mixed in the crowd and offered three pillars of incense and candles for his teacher. When Gongsun Acne was buried, Wei Ying also secretly set up a grass hut not far away to keep filial piety for him for three months, and then left Anyi City and turned around all parts of Wei State.

After all, Wei Ying is also a prince, although the family has declined, but the far-reaching vision makes Wei Ying understand that in this troubled world, if he does not enter, he will perish, so he is often deeply worried about his country.

However, Wei Ying's mother country - Wei Guo is really weak, and the monarch has no virtuous people, not to mention forging ahead in this world of great contention, but on the contrary, he is complacent as a vassal state of Wei, which is really embarrassing and useful.

Now that his teacher Gongsun Yan has passed away, the three-year career of Wei has also made Wei Ying deeply see the external power of this powerful country in the world, especially the character of Wei Wangying, which is really a great achievement, and he is stubborn and self-serving, which makes Wei Ying deeply shaken his previous plans.

As the saying goes, the king is virtuous and the minister is wise, the king is not virtuous, and the courtier can only die.

However, Wei Ying's own teacher, Gongsun Acne, a veteran of the two dynasties, has been the prime minister of Wei for nearly forty years, and finally in front of the current King of Wei, he is helpless and dies depressed. Therefore, Wei Ying really had no confidence that he could convince the current King of Wei.

Just as Wei Ying was thinking about what he should do next, he heard you say that Wei Kai served in the Qin State and defeated 100,000 enemy troops in Changchuan, Qin State, and Wei Ying had the idea of entering the Qin State in the west.

Who is Wei Kai? Wei Ying knew very well in his heart that this was a talented but unruly person. Now is such a good horse of the Wei family who has been regretted by his teacher for a long time, but he is willing to hold any official position in the barbarian Qin State, which really makes Wei Ying interested.

On the way to Chencang, Wei Ying originally had a certain amount of preparation in his heart for the poverty of this weak Qin State, but in the end, it greatly surprised Wei Ying. The people don't know how to live, and the country doesn't know how to prosper, this is Wei Ying's view of the Qin State.

Although the Qin State is weak, it is also a large country that occupies thousands of miles, although the Luo Pingyuan has been lost in the east, but the core area of Guanzhong is still in the hands of the Qin State, but it is such a fertile land, but it is in the hands of the Qin State, and there is no harvest, and it is deserted.

What is even more incomprehensible to Wei Ying is that the poverty of the Qin State is not temporary, but has been for a hundred years, but the Qin people living in this land do not want to forge ahead, and they are complacent, as if they are accustomed to poverty and hardship;

Similarly, the official government of the Qin State and the full court of ministers also turned a blind eye to the poverty of the Qin State, and they also fought foreign wars one after another, not thinking about accumulating people's strength and developing national strength, and did not care about the changes and powers of the countries around the Qin State.

The people are like this, the government of the Qin State is like this, how can the Qin State not slowly weaken? You must know that although the Jin State, a powerful country in the east of the Qin State, has perished, in the land of the Three Jin Dynasty, a more powerful Wei State was born, and the Qin State is not destroyed, which is simply intolerable?

But what is strange is that it is such a Qin State, but it has won great victories again and again in the war with Wei State, and recently killed nearly 100,000 Wei troops in Hexi, and almost recaptured the land of Hexi, which made Wei Ying have a strong interest in the country on this land.

As the saying goes, when a thing reaches the time when it should perish, but it can not perish for a long time, it shows that there is a reason for its existence in this world, and in the final analysis, it is nothing more than occupying a superior position, the people are simple, the officials are competent, and the government is wise.

That is to say, it is often said that the solid plug is dangerous, the shape is convenient, the mountains, forests, rivers and valleys are beautiful, and the benefits of natural materials are many, which can be described as the shape of victory; The people are simple, the folk customs are mellow, the vocal music is not dirty, the clothes are not picky, and they are very afraid of being obedient, which can be described as the ancient people;

Duyi government, hundreds of officials are solemn, all are frugal, respectful, faithful and not ashamed, can be described as ancient officials. The sergeant of the country, out of his door, into the public gate; Out of the public gate, to his family, no private affairs;

Not compared to Zhou, not a friend, but also unclear and public, can be described as an ancient doctor. The court is idle, listening to the decision and leaving no one behind, as calm as the anarchist, which can be described as the ancient dynasty. The so-called rule is detailed, not annoying, and the rule is also.

However, since the Qin State lost Shaoliang, Taolin Shisai and other places, it can be said that the eastern border is open, and there is no danger to defend, so it can only shrink the defense line in Chongquan and Zheng County, and therefore lose the land west of the river, not to mention the advantage of the terrain;

And the people in the country are poor, hungry, poorly clothed, and the government is busy, ignoring the people, and it is not possible to talk about the simplicity of the people and the enlightened government.

Wei Ying then followed the official road of the Qin State to Chen Cang, and the further west, the more frightened Wei Ying became.

In the vicinity of Liyang, it seems that you can still see a decent village, although the poverty is mixed, but at least there are still people, once after crossing Yixian, what you can see, almost overgrown with weeds, wild beasts are rampant, the official road is hidden, almost uninhabited, so that Wei Ying has to follow the footprints of the beasts, slowly to the west.

After entering the territory of Chencang, Wei Ying was also surprised by what he saw, although the surrounding area was still full of grass, but at least there were traces of human activities around, and before he had gone far, Wei Ying met a few hunters with bows and arrows on their backs and some hares.

Before Wei Ying could get closer and ask for directions, he saw that the hunters were on guard from afar, and shouted at Wei Ying, asking who he was? Can you have a certificate from the government?

Wei Ying, who had been lost in the wilderness following the footprints of wild beasts, was happy to meet a few hunters on the mountain, when he knew that the other party was actually ready to pick up the bow and arrow on his back, but Wei Ying's posture frightened Wei Ying so much that he had to explain repeatedly, saying that he had no malicious intent.

Maybe it was because Wei Ying's accent didn't look like a Qin person, and the few people who heard Wei Ying's chanting from a distance let down their guard posture, and slowly walked over and said loudly: "It's not my old Qin people?" ”。

When Wei Ying heard this, he understood that the other party had no malicious intent at this time, so he relieved his heart, but he didn't care that he was from Wei State, so he lied that he was a student of Qi State, and he came to Qin State to visit the people's livelihood with the order of his teacher.

When the hunters heard this, they looked at Wei Ying's scholarly appearance, and immediately laughed, and said loudly: "It turned out to be a scholar", and then waved his hand in the distance.

I saw two young men who were ready to shoot from the weeds in the distance, Wei Ying looked at it, and immediately congratulated himself that he was not wrong, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his body.

"Dog, this is a scholar?" Among the three or four hunters, I saw the older one of them, with a straw hat wrapped around his head and a half-grown boy who came behind him, and laughed again.

"Hello sir," the boy in coarse linen with a shrunken hunting bow in his hand walked up to Wei Ying, and then squirmed and saluted Wei Ying.

When Wei Ying looked at it, he also thought it was interesting in his heart. Rites, from Zhou, have strict rules. Among the scholars, and even on it, there will be a salute, ordinary rural people, not to mention this naughty boy, but Wei Ying is not a formal person after all, so he took a step back and solemnly returned the salute.

The people who knew that they were still laughing just now were shocked when they saw Wei Ying return the salute, and they no longer laughed just now. After all, Wei Ying is a scholar, and he is also a noble child who has been full of poetry and books, and his family etiquette is naturally different from ordinary people, and his words and deeds reflect his extraordinary identity.

It was from Wei Ying's demeanor that those hunters felt that the people in front of them were not the so-called rural people themselves, but more elegant and easy-going, noble and extraordinary than the children of the clan they had been destined to see, so they were secretly shocked.

After some discussion, Wei learned that these hunters were from nearby villages, and that they had gone up the mountain to catch some birds and beasts and get enough food, and to follow the call of the government to go up the mountain to search for wild people or bandits hiding in the mountains.

When Wei Ying heard that they had gone up the mountain to capture the homeless, he was shocked.

The homeless people are also ordinary people, but in order to escape the harsh taxes, or the pressure of life, they are displaced in the wilderness, and the government has always spent great efforts to search and arrest, and I have never heard of the people automatically helping the government.

You must know that if the government has no way, those people who are farming in peace are likely to become homeless tomorrow, that is to say, the homeless people should be closer to the government than ordinary people, how can they help the government?

Before Wei Ying's words could be spoken, the hunters scolded: "They are all people who are delicious and difficult to cook, and do not do their jobs. ”

Then Wei Ying heard what they said, how the government of Chen Cang helped them ordinary people, from building villages, distributing fields, recruiting displaced people, etc., Wei Ying had any questions, and those hunters vied with each other to answer, after all, Wei Ying was already a noble person in their hearts.

Although most of what the hunters said was hearsay, or foul language, and vague, Wei Ying, who was quick-witted, still faintly felt the meaning of sharpening the knife from these measures to stabilize the people's livelihood.

After all, the division of the land is to divide the land of the clan into the public land of the Qin State, and then divide the cultivation of the people, and also fight the power of the clan, although it is used under the guise of suppressing the rebellion of the clan and so on.

On the same day, those hunters invited Wei Ying to their village as a guest, and I especially heard that when Wei Ying went to visit Chen Cang Ling Wei Kai, the righteous people in the village immediately treated Wei Ying with great hospitality.

So much so that the next day, after several nearby villages heard about it, they jointly dispatched a few people to escort Wei Ying all the way to Chencang County, which made Wei Ying, who was originally surprised by Chen Cang's difference, even more shocked, and sighed: "I didn't expect Brother Wei Kai to be so convincing."
