In the autumn period, after Guan Zhong served as the minister of Qi to preside over government affairs, he shared the likes and dislikes with the people, circulated goods, and accumulated assets, so that the Qi State soon embarked on the road of national wealth and strong soldiers. Guan Zhong's "Cangqiao actually knows etiquette, and if you have enough food and clothing, you know honor and disgrace" has also become the guiding ideology of Qi State's self-improvement and prosperity. When the people live a prosperous life and the treasury is full of wealth, etiquette can be carried forward and government decrees can be unimpeded. Guan Zhong grasped the fundamentals of governing the country, and after years of governance, the state of Qi soon became strong and became the first hegemon of autumn, and there is also a record of the Duke of Qi Huan in history as "the princes of Jiuhe, one Kuang world". Due to the correctness of Guan Zhong's guiding ideology and the success of Qi Huangong, "Cang Liao actually knows etiquette, and food and clothing are enough to know honor and disgrace" has always been praised by future generations, and this sentence is completely in line with the materialist views on "material determines consciousness", "economic foundation determines superstructure", "material civilization determines spiritual civilization" and other related views.

"The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit. The king of a thousand times, the prince of ten thousand families, and the king of a hundred rooms, are still poor, and the people of the family are still poor! "Nanjun County Shou Han Teng quoted the scriptures, and he was even more concise!

The rich people's homes in this era were probably about 100,000 yuan, with cows, horses, and servants. The Chinese family, about 20,000 yuan, can afford to raise cattle. Naturally, it is difficult for the poor people in Luzuo to solve the problem of food and clothing for even a year, where can they save spare money?

The so-called tripod is a vessel used to cook large pieces of cold pigs in the autumn of the Western Zhou Dynasty. By the time of the Warring States period, it had gradually become a ritual instrument, and the commoners rarely used it, and only the nobles put it out together with the rice bowl when they used the feast and sacrifice, in order to show their ancient lineage and noble status......

Generally speaking, according to the provisions in the "Zhou Li", the Son of Heaven has nine tripods and eight tripods, the princes have seven tripods and six tripods, the doctors have five tripods and four tripods, and the scholars have three tripods and two tripods.

However, in the Warring States Period, the etiquette collapsed, and in the end, even the Zhou room was wiped out by Qin, and no one followed the old Zhou etiquette. The kings of the Seven Heroes have long begun to use the Son of Heaven to drive the rituals, and the feudal kings of various countries also regard themselves as princes......

However, the people of this era, although they experienced the baptism of the Warring States period that "the prime minister must start from the state department, and the fierce general must be sent from the army", they still believe in the theory of blood, and the declining nobles hold their heads high and look down on anyone who is low-spirited.

Even those civilian heroes, after achieving fame, have to be busy finding an ancestor of noble blood for themselves. or the princes and uncles who are divided into various places, or the doctors of the Qing clan who are in the middle of the family, as if they are not enough, it is not enough to justify their success.

But in fact, this is an era when ability is greater than blood, especially in the Qin State, where princes and grandsons cannot obtain fiefdoms without meritorious service.

Compared with the Six Kingdoms of the East, the counties under the rule of Qin, although they are still very bitter, are a little better than before.

Today's Qin State is not the period of Qin II's reign, and although the laws and regulations are strict, there is still a limit to everything. The peasants no longer had to pay tribute to the nobles of all sizes, but only needed to pay off the rent and oral taxes to the county officials of the Qin State in a unified manner, and serve one month of conscription every year. Although the labor is heavy, at least there will not be a matter of a nobleman in the past who organized the people to build cities and hunt tigers and leopards during the busy agricultural period.

Because of Qin's emphasis on farming, Liju was organized into a production brigade, and the common people could borrow oxen and iron farming tools from officials to cultivate their land as best they could. There is no need to worry about Wang Sun riding a horse, chasing a fox rabbit, and running rampant on his own fields, but he does not need to pay any price. Although the businessman is low-spirited, there will be no son who will be in front of him, eat for nothing, and buy and sell.

While the Qin law restrained the freedom of the common people, it also restrained the reckless behavior of the old aristocracy.

While the Qin law put an end to the aristocracy's control of the place, it also opened the door to class mobility for the common people.

The government no longer appoints officials based on family lineage, but has to test the mastery of laws and regulations, and examine real talents and learning, coupled with the military merit system, people who were destined to be farmers and commoners forever in the past seem to have a hope......

Thousands of years ago, when agriculture first appeared, the whole world was slash-and-burn. The ancients drilled wood to make fire in the forest or meadow, and burned all the plants, leaving only ashes all over the ground. Then use a stone knife and a wooden stick to poke holes in the ground, throw the seeds into them, and then bury them with your feet.

This is the end of slash-and-burn farming, and there is no longer any management, allowing drought and flood diseases, insects and weeds to invade. It's so extensive, but it's also artificially cultivated. However, the yield is very low, and it is good to harvest seven or eight buckets of millet per mu.

Now it seems that the ashes of "slash-and-burn" farming are the original fertilizer, but the ancients did not understand this. After a few years of planting on a piece of land, when the land is exhausted and the harvest is decreasing, they abandon the land, move with their clans, find a new site, and then cultivate new land in the same way, and so on......

The three generations of tribes in Tang Yuxia are always running around, and Yin Shang has moved the capital five times, all of which are related to this way of nomadic farming. At that time, the farmers did not have the concept of relocate, and it was the norm to run away after planting. In this way, the cultivated land in the Central Plains has gradually expanded.

In the autumn of the Western Zhou Dynasty, after the role of manure was discovered, the real settled farming had the possibility to be realized, and the Chinese savages cultivated the land with ploughing, and the well field system came into being, until the ravine pulled out by the ox ploughshare was completely torn......

The Autumn Warring States period was an era of rampant assassins, from hundreds of years ago to the assassination of the prince, the assassination of Zhao Xiangzi, and the exhaustion of Nie Zheng's assassins, and then to the assassination of political enemies and the killing of the head of the enemy country that only happened a few years ago, which was an effective way.

A month after the pacification of South Korea, the Qin general Han Teng was assassinated in Xinzheng, and the Qin general Han Teng was still alive, and he was only slightly injured.

Nanjun County Guard Han Teng later proved to be plotted by Zhang Liang, the son of Zhang Ping, the former Han Prime Minister. Zhang Ping and his father Zhang Kaidi jointly served as the prime minister of the five Han kings. The Zhang family is known as the Five Generations Xiangguo. And Zhang Ping has a son Zhang Liang who is well-known to later generations.

Zhang Liang came from an aristocratic family, and his grandfather Zhang Kaidi was re-elected as the prime minister of the three Korean dynasties during the Warring States period. His father, Zhang Ping, also succeeded as the prime minister of the Second Korean Dynasty. By the time of Zhang Liang's generation, South Korea had completely declined. The demise of Korea made Zhang Liang lose the opportunity to inherit his father's career and lose his prominent and glorious status, so he had the hatred of losing his country and family, and concentrated this hatred on one point - anti-Qin.

Meng Yi found the shadow of the "Dragon Slayer" through clues at this time.

The phrase "the country will die" comes from "Mozi". Mozi said: When the country is about to die, there will be seven troubles. 7. What is the patient? The ditch and pond of the city cannot be guarded, and the palace room is also troubled. The border country is at the border, and the neighbors are not saved, and the two troubles are also. First do the useless work of the people's power, reward the incompetent, the people's power is useless, the treasure is useless, and the three troubles are also. The ruler holds the Lu, the traveler is outstanding, the king cultivates the law to ask the ministers, the ministers are afraid and dare not brush, and the four troubles are also. Jun thinks he is wise and does not ask about things, he thinks he is safe and strong but has no guard, and his neighbors do not know how to precaution, and there are five troubles. Those who believe are unfaithful, and those who are loyal do not believe, and there are six troubles. The breed of corn is not enough to eat, and the minister is not enough to do it. The reward cannot be rejoiced, the punishment cannot be threatened, and the seven tribulations are also.

If you live in the country with seven troubles, you will have no social society. Defend the city with seven plagues, and the enemy will fall to the country. Where the seven calamities are due, the kingdom will be in trouble.

The next country to be destroyed in Qin was Zhao. Zhao is not easy to destroy, Zhao is the biggest obstacle to Qin's unification of the six countries, because Zhao has more famous generals, the four famous generals of the Warring States, Zhao has two, one is Lian Po, and the other is Li Mu. There are also two in the Qin State, one is Bai Qi and the other is Wang Qian. The strength of these four people is equal.

Zhao is located in the north of the Central Plains, with a radius of 2,000 miles, and is also a powerful country in the north. During the reign of King Wuling of Zhao, he advocated Hu Fu riding, reforming politics, enriching the country and strengthening the army, and the national momentum was revitalized. Zhao resisted the Xiongnu in the north and strong Qin in the south, becoming a country that could compete with Qin. However, after the death of King Wuling of Zhao, Zhao was repeatedly attacked by the Qin soldiers, and refused to appoint his own good generals Lian Po and Li Mu, and even listened to slanderous rumors and deposed him.

Zhao was originally a great power that suppressed Qin, and its strength was comparable to that of Qin. But because of three generations of unsuccessful kings, it led to the final demise:

King Zhao Xiaocheng's Battle of Changping made Zhao completely lose the ability to compete with Qin. In the case of the decline of national strength, King Xiang of Zhao has been fighting in the south and the north, dragging down the economy of Zhao. King Zhao Youmiao favored his ministers, framed the weight, and finally destroyed the Great Wall, losing the only weapon that could resist the Qin army. Therefore, the destruction of the Zhao Kingdom is irreversible no matter how many talents there are, even if Lian Po, Lin Xiangru, Li Mu, and Zhao Hao come back, what can they change?

Li Mu and Bai Qi, it is difficult to draw conclusions about which of the two is strong and who is weak.

White tricks, good at encirclement and annihilation; Li Mu is good at considering the overall situation, no matter how big or small, he always does not know what he wants, and he has not tasted defeat for many years, which can be described as a momentary difference. This proves Li Mu's superb military command ability. Objectively speaking, Bai Qi is a well-deserved general, brave and strategic; Li Mu is good at guarding and is a comprehensive handsome talent.

The first view: Li Mu is stronger than Bai Qi. Assuming that if the two start a war against each other, it can only be a war of attrition, and fighting a war of attrition is exactly what Li Mu is good at, so Bai will eventually lose to Li, sooner or later.

The second view: Bai Qi is stronger than Li Mu. But Bai Qi's strength is not that he is stronger than Li Mu's ability. Judging from the Battle of Changping, Lian Po's defensive position was very good. Bai Qi couldn't find a chance to start, so Suo stuck to his position and played with Zhao Jun. Although the strength of the Zhao army is not worse than that of the Qin army, the national strength of the Zhao state is a cut worse than that of the Qin state. Zhao Guo couldn't afford to spend it in the later period, so he turned from defense to offense. But the initiative in the war has already reached the hands of the Qin State, that is to say, even if Li Mu is in charge, he can't beat Bai Qi. Because Zhao's national strength could not support him, the Qin army could defeat the Zhao army by sticking to its position and engaging in defensive counterattacks.

How good is Li Mu?

He once fought the Huns for more than ten years and did not dare to invade the south!

He once fought so that the Qin State did not dare to attack Zhao for three years!

If he is here, Zhao will not die!
