Chapter 102: The Land and the People's Heart

Qin Feizi, the ancestor of the Qin State, was the son of Fei Lian, a famous general under the King of Shang. As early as the Yin Shang period, the ancestor of the Qin people, the tribe surnamed Ying was the right-hand man of Xirong, and was highly valued by the Shang Dynasty, and was a nobleman of the Shang Dynasty and a prince. In the sixth year of King Xiao of Zhou, Qin Feizi, the ancestor of Qin, was made a vassal state by Zhou Tianzi because of his meritorious work in raising horses. The capital was governed in Qinyi, and the Fu Ying clan was enshrined, called "Qin Ying", which was the beginning of the Qin State. In 821 B.C., the Duke of Qin Zhuang defeated Xirong and was named the doctor of the West by King Xuan of Zhou, and once again gave Qin, that is, the land of the dog hill where the Da Luo clan lived. In 771 BC, King You of Zhou was attacked by Xirong, and Qin Xianggong was appreciated by King Ping of Zhou for his meritorious service in leading his troops to save Zhou Tianzi.

In 77o B.C., Qin Xianggong sent troops to escort King Zhou Ping to the east, and was made a prince, and was given a place west of Qishan. From then on, the state of Qin officially became a vassal state of the Zhou Dynasty. Qin Mugong successively destroyed the 12 countries established by the Rong people in the west, opened up more than 1,000 miles of land and stabilized the rear, and only then did he lay the foundation for his status as a great power in the autumn. At the beginning of the Warring States period, the Wei State attacked the Qin State for many years and seized the land west of the Hexi, and the Qin State was forced to retreat to the west of Luoshui. During the reign of Qin Xiaogong, Shang Ying was appointed to change the law, so that the Qin state became stronger and gradually became the most powerful state in the middle and late Warring States period.

Then in 325 BC King Huiwen of Qin was proclaimed king, and in 316 BC Qin annexed the kingdoms of Ba and Shu.

Then, in 246 BC, King Yingzheng of Qin ascended the throne and immediately began to annex the six eastern kingdoms.

And South Korea was unfortunate and became the first Warring States Seven Heroes to disappear.

After the destruction of Korea, King Yingzheng of Qin ordered Qin to garrison Han Teng in Nanjun and serve as the county guard of Nanjun. The long-term plan is naturally to attack the state of Chu in the future.

In the eighteenth year of the reign of King Yingzheng of Qin, that is, in 229 BC, Han Teng, the county guard of Nanjun, came to Nanjun, and in order to strictly enforce the law, he issued a piece of paper and his famous proclamation to the county and township. Han Teng also ordered people to distribute documents and affirm the way of officials. His two proclamations are philosophical and instructive for officials and officials, so his subordinate officials and emperors keep in mind and worship them wholeheartedly, and some people even use these two texts to accompany the funeral. For example, in the tomb dug in Yunmengze in recent years, these two proclamations appeared next to Qin Guoan's 6 order named Xi. Later generations speculated that Xi should be Han Teng's subordinate. It can be seen that Han Teng's subordinates are so unswerving to Han Teng's teachings. Later, Han Teng governed Nanjun in an orderly manner, with strict laws and regulations, and officials fulfilled their duties, providing a solid garrison base for King Yingzheng of Qin to attack the state of Chu. Han Teng later served as an internal history, managed the capital, and had great responsibilities, which shows that King Yingzheng of Qin trusted him.

As a close confidant of King Yingzheng of Qin, Meng Yi was naturally ordered to inspect various places.

At this time, Meng Yi, accompanied by Han Teng, the county guard of Nanjun, had just entered Jiangling, the county town of Nanjun.

On the side of the street ahead, a window also quietly opened, and something protruded from the dark window......

Meng Yi was not mistaken, it was a crossbow machine! A crossbow machine that is strictly hidden by the people!

Meng Yi's heart was immediately withdrawn from the cheerful atmosphere! Mentioned the throat eye!

He shouted, "Assassin". At the same time, he picked up the crossbow on the car and aimed it at the window!

"Be careful!" Not only Meng Yi, but also the knight guards on the left and right wings of the county guard and the county lieutenant were all on high alert, and this scene also appeared, they all spoke out to warn, and at the same time raised the shields they carried, wanting to protect the county guard.

The cheers of the entire Gangneung, at this moment, seemed to be sealed by a sharp arrow, and there was silence for a moment!

However, Han Teng, the county guard of Nanjun, immediately pretended to be safe and sound, and shouted loudly: "Thanks to the blessing of the king, this official is safe and sound!" ”

That night, the South County Guard.

It seems that today's events touched Han Teng and made him have a lot to say, so he told Meng Yi about a past incident when he was an official in South Korea.

"Speaking of which, the present form is still somewhat similar to that of the past. More than 20 years ago, I had just come out of the profession and worked as a village official in South Korea. The land of Korea is sinister, there are many mountains, and the grains are born, either wheat or beans, and the food of the people is probably bean rice and weed soup, and the children live very hard. By chance, while inspecting Lilu, the farmer under my command said that putting the stalks or cut grass and trees in the field and letting them rot on their own can also increase the fertility of the land and increase the harvest in the next year. I was overjoyed at once, and immediately reported the matter to the county ordinance in an official document, hoping that through the implementation of this law, the people would have a more harvest......

However, a year has passed, and there is no response, I really can't help it, so I used the relationship in the clan to go to the county to inquire, and the county guard said that he was busy with affairs, and forgot about it. Then, two years have passed, three years have passed, and Xinzheng still has no response, and he has not even sent anyone to question me whether this matter is true or false......

It wasn't until many years later that I abandoned literature and martial arts, accumulated merits, and became an official in Xinzheng, and found an opportunity to ask that I found out that the method I submitted was only roughly translated and was not valued by the important ministers of the capital. So I can only wait for myself to be a fake county guard, so that the people of the counties can implement this law, but at this moment, twenty years have been wasted, and the old farmer who is now using this law has long since died, and his children and grandchildren have not received any merit from Korea. At the same time, Zheng Guo, who lobbied King Han to build canals in Korea to increase agricultural production, was sent to Qin by King Han. Although he knew that the ditch would cost countless money and manpower, the king of Qin immediately agreed to Zheng Guo's policy and treated him as a guest. Zheng Guo was deeply moved and began to preside over the matter as best he could. By the time Qin's mission was exposed, he had forgotten his original purpose, and met the king of Qin in person, and said, 'The first minister is the middle, and then it will be successful, and the benefits of Qin will also be', do you know what the king of Qin said at that time? ”

Meng Yi naturally replied: "I haven't heard of this matter. ”

"King Qin said: Repairing this canal is just the life of Han Yan for a few years, but it can be built for Qin for all generations! If Qing dies, who will succeed him? Suddenly! At this time, Han Teng, who was already the county guard of the southern county of Qin State, said with emotion, "Knowing that it is poison, but it is beneficial to himself in the long run, King Qin still does not hesitate to drink it!" Let Zheng Guo continue to repair the canal for Qin. When the canal is completed, more than 40,000 hectares of land will be irrigated, and Guanzhong will be rich. Zheng Guo has become a loyal minister of the king of Qin since that day, he was ordered to carry out the plan of the captain, carry the gold silk to lobby me, and said to me, good birds choose trees to perch, Han is already rotten wood, Qin is the king's sycamore! I heard about what he had experienced, and I was shocked when I learned that the Qin State attached so much importance to agricultural affairs, and then I knew that the victory of Qin VI was not lucky, but also counted! Those who can go to the farmer and can do their best can win the world! ”

"Mencius: Lilou Shang" "There is a way to win the world, to win its people, and to win the world." There is a way to win the people, to win their hearts, and to win the people. There is a way to get his heart, and he gathers with it, and he does not do anything evil. ”

Meng Yi also disagreed: "What is the heart of the people? The people have fields and food at home, which is the heart of the people in the Autumn and Warring States Period! In other words, the one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world! ”

"The economic base determines the superstructure", what is the superstructure? It refers to the sum of social ideology built on a certain economic basis, as well as the political and legal systems and facilities that are compatible with it. In layman's terms, it is the political and legal system. At the beginning of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the political system of the feudal system was formulated, and at the same time, there must be an economic system that adapts to it, what is this economic system?

In ancient times, especially in feudal or slave societies, agriculture was the decisive factor in the economy, but what did agriculture rely on? Land. Therefore, since ancient times, land has become a symbol of a country, whether the country is strong or not, and whether there is more land is a hard indicator. And one of the main missions of the state is how to distribute the land. Therefore, some scholars believe that the rulers of any dynasty in ancient times were composed of large and small landlords, and the emperor was the largest landlord, who dominated the distribution of land throughout the country. In the early Western Zhou Dynasty, the well field system was the land system at that time, and it was also the most important economic system.

The Jingtian system is not unique to the Zhou Dynasty, it is evolved from the original clan commune land public ownership exhibition, it was first formed in the Shang Dynasty, and it has been very mature in the Western Zhou Dynasty. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, roads and channels crisscrossed the country, and the government divided the land into squares, shaped like the character "well", so it was called "well field". The word "well field" was first seen in "Gu Liang Biography - 15th Year of Xuan Gong": "The ancients are 300 steps away, and the name is Jing Tian", "The well field, 900 acres, and the public field is one." ”

The ownership of the well field belonged to the king of Zhou, and he distributed it to the common people. This involves political feudalism.

The king of Zhou granted a certain amount of land and people to the royal family, meritorious heroes and previous nobles, respectively, and let them establish vassal states. The princes had to obey the orders of the king of Zhou, contribute money and goods to the king of Zhou on time, and follow the army to defend the royal family. At the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, the important vassal states were Qi, Lu, Yan, Wei, Song, Jin, etc.

The king of Zhou divided the land layer by layer to the princes, and the princes then gave the feudal land to the princes, who in turn distributed the land to his children and vassals. However, the land belongs to the state, and the nobles at all levels have only the right to use the land, but have no ownership, and cannot be transferred, bought or sold. Because at that time, all the land in the world belonged to the king of Zhou, and the country was his country, and the country was owned by him alone. Therefore, the state ownership of land in slavery is essentially a kind of private ownership of land. The well-field system was an effective way to realize the nationalization of land before the autumn period in China, and it was also a relatively popular land system in the Western Zhou Dynasty in China.

The sub-feudal system and the Jingtian system were the perfect political and economic systems in the Western Zhou Dynasty. The feudal system played a role in maintaining and adjusting the internal relations of the slave-owning class and ensuring the rule of slave states over slaves and commoners, which was a political guarantee for the strength of the slave states in the Western Zhou Dynasty. The Ida system, on the other hand, stipulates the main content of the production relations of slavery, and is the economic basis that determines the development and domination of slavery.

The well field of the Zhou Dynasty, the square field of 100 steps long and wide is called a "field", and the acre of a field is 100 acres, as a "husband", that is, the land cultivated by a labor force. Nine square fields are called a "well". Because the nine square fields are placed together, it happens to be a "well" shape. The area of a well is a square "li"; One hundred wells is ten miles square, called one "Cheng", which can accommodate 900 laborers; 10,000 wells are 100 miles square, called one "same", which can accommodate 90,000 laborers.
