Liyang, the capital of Qin, and the news that Zuo Shu Changwei martingale official worshiped Daliang soon spread throughout this not very large capital. Everyone applauded the news and praised the monarch for being wise and wise, and knowing how to make good use of it. Praise Daliang for the reincarnation of Jiang Gong, and reincarnate Guan Zhong, it will not take long for the Great Qin State to be able to become great in the world.

At the beginning of the reform, the people did not understand the decree issued by Wei Ying, and they were resisted by many nobles, but with Wei Ying's iron hand and the strong support of the monarch, the law change was carried out in an orderly manner. Two or three years later, the simple Qin people really felt the benefits of changing the law.

As long as the crops can be harvested, they can eat a full meal, and even eat meat for three or five days, they will be very satisfied, and their psychology will be thinking of the good of the monarch and the good of Daliang.

What makes every old Qin person the most excited is the army's decree on military merits. The Qin people are still martial, almost every man in the Qin State needs to go into battle to kill the enemy, and military exploits are simply a treasure for them, which makes them see the hope of sealing their wives and shadows and shining the lintel, and they also have hope in their hearts.

The support of the people and the support of the soldiers allowed Wei Ying's reform to be completely implemented in the Qin State. The people and soldiers at the bottom benefited the most from the implementation of this reform, but for the nobles of the Qin State, it did suffer a lot of impact.

Today's Wei Yingguan worships Daliangzao, leads the country's military and political affairs, which is equivalent to the second monarch, and the other nobles can only swallow their anger for his iron and blood, and dare not violate his majesty. But there are still some undercurrents surging in the background.

In the Monarch's Mansion, Qin Guogong Yingqu Liang was drinking with Shang Ying while discussing Qin's next strategy for changing the law.

"Your Majesty, now that my Great Qin Kingdom has become rich and the people are strong after changing the law, Martingale intends to start the second round of law changes. That is, the county system was implemented, weights and measures were unified, household registration was repaired, and the fiefs of various nobles were removed and nationalized. Wei Ying put down his wine glass and said.

"Everything else is easy to say, as for recovering the fiefdom, have you ever thought about the stakes?" Qin Guogong asked with a worried face.

"Back to the king, Martingale has already thought of a countermeasure, and it will be foolproof."

"Okay, you just let it go, and I'll take care of the rest for you."

Hearing Qin Guogong's words, Wei Ying was extremely moved, it was precisely because of Qin Guogong's strong support, unconditional trust, and clearing the obstacles to the change that his change could be implemented smoothly.

After drinking another glass of wine, Qin Guogong seemed to be a little relaxed, and when he picked up the wine jug and poured the wine, he asked with a smile: "Okay, I don't know where Daliangzao started?" ”

"Yongcheng." Wei Ying said calmly.

Hearing this name, Qin Guogong's hand pouring wine paused, and a shadow buried deep in his heart appeared in front of him, and the scenes of the past were like a flood that burst the embankment, constantly flashing in his mind.

"Help me take a look at that kid, it's been two years, I don't know how he's doing?" Qin Guogong's voice became a little lonely.

"Why don't you go and see it for yourself?" Wei Ying asked rhetorically.

"Alas, if you don't go, if you don't go, what if you go? It's always me who can't stand the two of them......" Qin Guogong swallowed the wine in the cup in one gulp, and looked ahead with a dull look.

Seeing Qin Guogong's lonely expression at this time, Wei Ying also sighed in his heart, since the beginning of the change, the king has worked hard day and night for the prosperity of Qin Guo, but that matter has always been a knot in his heart.

The next day, at the gate of Yongcheng, a man dressed in white, led a horse, and entered the ancient capital unhurriedly. Seeing the busy scene in the city and the simple smiles on the faces of the passers-by on the road, the man couldn't stop nodding. From time to time, he stopped and asked passers-by something.

Soon, the man in white came to the door of the Guogong Mansion, and a guard stepped forward to ask, and when he learned the man's identity, he hurriedly prepared to kneel and salute, but the man in white waved his hand, handed the reins in his hand to the guard, and walked towards the door with his hands behind his back.

Walking past Xiao Qiang, the man in white stopped in front of the Dazheng Palace, and the mottled traces on the palace wall seemed to witness the century-old history of the Great Qin Kingdom, revealing a vicissitudes of life and a bleak atmosphere.

Walking through the Dazheng Palace, you will see three rooms located at the back of the Dazheng Palace, as well as a small case table in front of the house, and Qin Chuan behind the case.

Now it is the season of autumn and winter, and the noon sun is not as hot as summer, and it shines warmly on the body. Qin Chuan moved the bamboo slips and the desk table out of the house, sat on the ground, and looked at the bamboo slips while basking in the sun.

As if feeling the gaze, Qin Chuan raised his head and saw a man dressed in white standing not far from him, looking at him with a smile on his face.

Qin Chuan looked at the strange man and had some doubts in his heart, so he stood up from the ground, saluted the man, and then asked, "Dare to ask who Mr. is?" Why was he able to enter this country? ”

"In Xia Wei Ying, I have seen the son of Qin Chuan." The man in white bowed.

The person who came turned out to be the famous Wei Ying, Qin Chuan was shocked, and then hurriedly took two steps forward, and once again respectfully saluted Wei Ying, "The student has seen Mr. ”

Wei Ying stood in place without holding his hands behind his back, and said with a smile: "I have never taught you when to become your teacher and when you will become my student." ”

"Sir, when my Great Qin State was in danger, he was not afraid of hardships and dangers, and he advocated changing the law, so that my Great Qin Country was rich and the people were safe. For this reason, why can't the gentleman be my husband? ”

Hearing Qin Chuan's answer, Wei Ying first felt very relieved, a child can still know the benefits of changing the law, not to mention other people of Great Qin. But after thinking about it, how did Qin Chuan know about this when he had been in the Guogong Mansion for a long time? Could it be that someone specifically informed him of the news that he was coming, and specifically asked him to say so?

Wei Ying's mind turned sharply, and he quickly regained his composure, walked in front of Qin Chuan, picked up the bamboo slip on the desk and looked at it, it was the Spring Palace Zongbo scroll in Zhou Li, so he asked Qin Chuan to recite the words on it.

Qin Chuan didn't dare to slack off, and recited the content recorded on the bamboo slip word for word.

After listening to Qin Chuan's recitation, Wei Ying nodded secretly, "Not bad, not bad." Then, he motioned for Qin Chuan to sit down and speak. Waiting for Qin Chuan to sit on the ground, he also sat down opposite Qin Chuan.

"May I ask how the gentleman taught me?" Qin Chuan asked.

"Haha, I'm not your teacher, but there's nothing to teach you, I'm just here to see you on behalf of the monarch, how is life here?" Wei Ying looked at Qin Chuan and said with a relaxed expression.

"Sir, how can you not be my teacher, it's quiet here, it's good to be alone." Qin Chuan said to Wei Ying with a smile, without the slightest restraint.

Wei Ying's brows furrowed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal, giving up what he originally planned to say in his heart, so he changed the topic and asked Qin Chuan, "I don't know where you got the Qin State to change the law?" Who taught you what you just said? After speaking, he stared at Qin Chuan's eyes.

Ignoring Wei Ying's direct gaze and shrugging his shoulders, Qin Chuan said a little helplessly: "Who doesn't know about Mr.'s changes in my Great Qin Country now, who doesn't know?" I can hear the voices of the people discussing through the walls all day long, and they are all praising him as a capable minister who governs the world and the pillar of the rise of the Qin State. ”

Thousands of clothes are not worn, Qin Chuan's few words of compliment really made Wei Ying very useful.

"Then what do you think of this change?"

Hearing Wei Ying's words, Qin Chuan pursed his lips, showing a trace of helplessness on his face, and said to Wei Ying: "Sir, this is a difficult student, I am a five-year-old child, how can I comment on national events." ”

Listening to Qin Chuan's words, Wei Ying also secretly said confused, he would actually ask a child about the country's plans, isn't this asking for directions.

Without waiting for Wei Ying to continue speaking, Qin Chuan's immature voice continued, "However, a few days ago, an old man in white asked me to talk to me about the current changes of the Qin State, and praised the changes of the Qin State, but..."

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Wei Ying was also interested in Qin Chuan's words, and opened his mouth to urge.

Hearing Wei Ying's words, Qin Chuan hesitated for a moment, and then a trace of firmness appeared, as if he had made up his mind, he no longer concealed it, and said: "The old man in white said that the current reform has only superficially changed some of the old diseases of the Qin State, and the strength of the Qin State at this time is only one-sided, and only by fundamentally changing can the reform not fall short in the end." ”

Qin Chuan looked at Wei Ying's serious face, and continued: "That old gentleman also said that the root of the reform lies in abolishing the Jingtian system and turning the strength of the nobles into the strength of the Qin State, so as to ensure the final success of the reform. But this will also offend all the nobles, whether it is a new nobleman or an old nobleman, they will regard Mr. as a thorn in their side, and the monarch can be safed for a lifetime, but if the monarch dies, I am afraid that there will be five horses divided into corpses. ”

"For the sake of the Qin State, even if you die, what's the matter?" Wei Ying said righteously.

Seeing Wei Ying's expression, a smile flashed in Qin Chuan's eyes, and then he covered it up well. looked at Wei Ying with a look of pity.

Seeing Qin Chuan's expression, Wei Ying's face showed a slight hint of anger, anyone who was skeptical of the change would be his enemy.

"Teacher, don't use that sad expression, it's not like the old man didn't give a solution."

Hearing Qin Chuan's words, Wei Ying's eyes lifted, and a smile appeared on his face: "Oh? Could it be that the old man in the dream even taught you this? ”

"That, that, I actually had two dreams." Qin Chuan's face was slightly embarrassed, and he scratched his head and said.

"What's the best way, come quickly." There was some eagerness in Wei Ying's voice. Originally, he was skeptical of Qin Chuan's words, but Qin Chuan's words after that were indeed the decrees that were about to be implemented, and only the monarch and himself knew about them, so he also took Qin Chuan's words seriously.

"That, teacher, the old man in white said that if the teacher thinks the method is feasible, he needs to agree to three conditions." Lu Mu lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Wei Ying.

"You talk about the method first, as long as it is useful to the Qin State, then what about allowing you three conditions." Wei Ying waved his hand and said with a proud face.

"The Qin State has been weak for many years, although the people are still martial, but the bad habits of the old system are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the use of strict officials to torture the law is the right medicine, but what is the difference between using military merit to cultivate the land and the old system? Even though this move will improve the soldiers' courage to kill the enemy and gather national strength, can the war last long? Once the Qin State unified the world and there was no war, what was the difference between those new nobles and the old nobles of the present? ”

Qin Chuan's voice was simply deafening when it came to Wei Ying's ears, and at this time, he also suddenly realized in his heart that he had made a mistake, a fatal mistake, that is, the war would not go on forever, and one day there would be no war, and then his face became a little serious.

"I also asked the old man in white what should he do? The old man shook his head and just told the students that the change of the law of the Qin State should not only be changed for one lifetime, but should be changed for the sake of peace for all generations. Qin Chuan's words were immature, but they contained a trace of solemnity.

"Sir, why teach me?" Wei Ying was sitting in danger at this time, humbly asking Qin Chuan for advice with a straight face.

"Ahem, sir, it's not me who taught you, it's the old man in white." Qin Chuan's face was helpless. But seeing Wei Ying's solemn expression, he said to Wei Ying word by word: "The old man said that the change of law is a big matter and needs to be carefully considered, but for the change in front of him, the old man said that let Mr. see more allusions to Dayu's water control." ”

"Dayu controls the water, Dayu controls the water." Wei Yan kept whispering, but his eyes became brighter and brighter.

Dayu's water control is the most widespread myth and legend, and Dayu's method of water control is to dredge the river, turn the world into Kyushu, and lead the flood into the sea.

Divide and conquer. Wei Ying stood up suddenly, bowed down and was about to salute Qin Chuan.

"Sir, no, students can't afford such a big gift." Seeing Wei Ying's movements, Qin Chuan hurriedly ran to the side.

But Wei Ying still bowed and saluted, and then said to Qin Chuan: "Tell the old man in white that I have granted his three requests." I just don't know what those three requirements are? I don't know if I told Qin Chuan Gongzi. ”

"Sir, please forgive the student for being rude, in fact, the student had three dreams, not two." Qin Chuan said embarrassedly.

Hahaha, Wei Ying laughed.

Qin Chuan hurriedly took out a bamboo scroll from the desk and respectfully handed it to Wei Ying.

Seeing the bamboo slips that had been prepared long ago, Wei Yingxin said in his heart that sure enough, he would not dismantle them, and unfolded the bamboo slips.

The content on the bamboo slip is very simple, with only three simple ones. Two hundred gold, a piece of land, and Qin Chuan as a student.

After reading the content on the bamboo slip, Wei Ying frowned, the first two are okay, but the third one, involving the son-in-law of the monarch and the inheritance of the school, he didn't dare to agree at will, and he had to ask the monarch's opinion. After thinking about it for a while, I have a plan in my heart.

"I can promise you the first two now, and as for the third, I need the permission of the king." Wei Ying's face also returned to normal.

Qin Chuan bowed in thanks. Not long after, under Qin Chuan's respect, Wei Ying strode out of the mansion. Before leaving, he informed Qin Chuan that two hundred gold would be delivered in a few days.

Seeing Wei Ying riding his horse away, Qin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, as if his whole body had been emptied, and his back was already soaked in cold sweat.

What I said today was prepared by Qin Chuan a long time ago, but he was not sure if Wei Ying would come, otherwise he would need to trouble Che Ying for help. As for why he took such a great deal of trouble to attract Wei Ying's attention, the reason was that Wei Ying was already a great good man of the Qin State, in charge of the military and political power of the Qin State, and he couldn't escape his eyes if he did anything in the future.

Wei Ying is a very smart person and a very determined person, it is difficult for ordinary people to change the perception of the law change in his heart with a sentence or two, and it will even attract his reprimand.

And Qin Chuan is different, first of all, he is just a five-year-old child, it is impossible to have such an idea, and for the statement dreamed of in a dream, Qin Chuan's natural way Wei Ying will not believe it at all, and naturally he can think of a master to guide Qin Chuan, these words are actually relayed to himself by a master through Qin Chuan's mouth.

Moreover, Wei Ying's master is a master outside the world, so Wei Ying will not have the slightest doubt about this fictional master. And the last three requirements are the last insurance to really dispel Wei Ying's doubts.

The first two conditions prove that standing behind Qin Chuan is a person in need, which makes Wei Ying even less suspicious of Qin Chuan, and the last one to let Wei Ying be a teacher is actually added by Qin Chuan in a flash of inspiration, because as long as he bears the name of Wei Ying's student, it will be more convenient to do some things in the future. But what Qin Chuan didn't expect was that it was this unintentional one that made Wei Ying make up his mind to accept Qin Chuan as a disciple.
