The armed merchant ships of the Qin State were very resolute in their attack on the water pirates, and it is enough to see from the means of the Qin State to deal with the water pirates that the water pirates of the Qin armed merchant fleet did not have any good feelings or sympathy. The general representative of the interests of the Qin merchants and the Qin government were also extremely resolute in this regard. Because these water bandits seriously hindered Qin's foreign commerce. From this point of view, this hurt the interests of the merchant class of the Qin State. The cost of harming the interests of the merchant class is dearly. For example, the Mo family.

"Poof." On the road from South Korea to the Qi State of Arms Trafficking, a sharp bronze sword slashed the throat of a smuggling security guard at breakneck speed.

"Snort." Blood spurted from the guard's throat.

"Not good. Someone. Fast. Shoot. Shoot. The other vigilant security guards noticed the anomaly and began to pull the bolt of their guns and shoot in all directions. They tried to expel their inner turmoil by shooting wildly with the weapons in their hands.

After a flurry of fire, the security guards finally calmed down.

"Stop." A leader shouted. People lowered their guns, but others looked around vigilantly.

"How?" A big blackbeard asked aloud.

"A sword in the throat." The leader looked at the wound and said.

"Don't look at it. Bury it. This must have been done by the Mo family. Big Blackbeard said.

"As long as it's not the bandits. Our cargo matters. With that, the group buried the body. Then they got back on the road.

As the men walked away, two white figures flashed out of their hiding place.

"These people." A female voice said dissatisfied.

"Ugh." A male voice replied.

Such a thing happened on the territory of South Korea. And it's happened a lot. At first, the South Korean government tried to hide the incident, because many people died on this trade route. And the official has dealt with it with the attitude of turning big things into small things and small things into small things.

The South Korean government has not taken it very seriously. Because this trade route often kills people due to robbery or other reasons. So there are more bones buried on the side of the road. The population density at this time was far less than that of later generations. And many of the places are still untouched wilderness. There are also many wild wolves in these places, and these wild wolves gradually discover that there is a potential source of food on this trade route. These foods are the bones of the people who were killed.

Instead of going to great lengths to hunt their prey, these wolves can simply use their noses to check the new soil around the road. There are often the bones of people who have been buried. They gouged out the bones with their claws and ate them. Traders often heard wolves howling at night. Then during the day, I saw a large number of white human bones on both sides of the road. Or the flesh gnawed by a wolf. Such a terrifying sight could not but make the passing merchants feel a little fear. At the same time, they began to believe in another force in nature.

"These are ghosts". An old man who ran away introduced a new newcomer. The novice looked at the bones on both sides of the road in horror. He wondered if one day he would do the same.

Because the people on the road are very boring, and it is true, people are busy on the road, and no one wants to talk much, in fact, there is not much to say. In addition, people miss their hometown very much at night, and people have to leave home. As a result, people began to compile some ghost stories based on what they saw and heard during the day, plus some fanciful rhetoric, and their rich imagination. In this way, these stories gradually spread to Sinjeong, South Korea. These ghost stories then spread quickly to other countries through the medium of short stories.

The reporters of the Qin State smelled some unusual news materials, and they actively visited these materials. Then sort it out and publish it in the newspaper. Gradually, reporters began to discover the irregularities of this trade route.

"This trade route was an important passage for the commercial trade of Qin and Korea to connect Qi State. There is a lot of traffic coming and going in this passageway. But they always go together. The reason is that if they go alone, they can easily be attacked by ghosts. ”

"And these so-called ghost attacks. In fact, it was a man-made attack. We, the journalists, have experienced first-hand the hardships of this trade route. ”

"We've had a lot of disasters along the way. The greatest threat to these merchants was the armed robbers who robbed other merchants of their goods for the sake of their own goods and the higher prices for the two similar goods. This kind of commercial attack is too rare in the Qin State. And the impact is too bad. ”

"We reporters have experienced such a robbery firsthand."

"A group of Korean businessmen dressed as merchants took the weapons in their hands and robbed us of our belongings, although we had weapons, but the other side deliberately ambushed us, and we surrendered after many casualties. Then these people rushed out and shouted at us. ”

"Lay down our arms, and we will not kill."

They shouted. We have no choice but to do it. ”

"They don't hurt our lives, but they take all the goods of this group of merchants or destroy them on the spot. Then, they walked away. None of our weapons were taken. ”

"Obviously, the characteristics of their clothes, and their behavior, reveal that they are also merchants. This is a vicious competition between peers. ”

"Worse is still happening. On this trade route, there are also criminals who specialize in robbery, and their composition is very chaotic. There were the declining aristocracy, who corrupted all their estates without any financial resources. They had no choice but to lead their subordinates to make this unprofitable deal. The Qin reporter wrote in the report. This is probably the earliest use of the Qin State without capital.

"Along with these nobles involved in the robbery, there were also some unemployed vagrants, and they were also involved, these people were Koreans, Qi people, Zhao people, Yan people. and the people of Chu. They are all people who can't survive. They had to be involved. ”

"The good ones will ask for tolls, and the bad ones will rob everyone's belongings, but these professional robbers rarely rob them all at once. Because they know that it is not easy for businessmen either. ”

"To this end, some businessmen have opened up the human joint. They offered to give some possessions in order to secure their lives. ”

"These are the tax collectors of the people. There are also official tax collectors. These tax collectors are South Korean government officials, the military, as well as police, road, and various law enforcement officers, who openly ask for tolls. These fees were more than the taxes paid by the Qin state. ”

"Businessmen are always reluctant to pay their taxes. This is because these officials always set up machine guns in the main traffic routes to demand tolls. ”

"But the real threat to businessmen, especially arms dealers, comes from the Mo family."

"We haven't seen how the Mo family kills people, but they always attack the arms dealers, and they keep killing security guards or arms dealers along the way, and their purpose is to disrupt their arms trade. This is simply unwise. ”

However, judging from the political views of the Mohists. I really want them to do it. The most important thing is that this practice of theirs has touched the bottom line of the law. Murder is a felony, and they are committing crimes to create more serious social violence. This practice also threatens the lives of merchants. ”

This report writes about everything that happened on that trade route in a realistic way, especially in response to the shortcomings of South Korean politics, and proposes a series of rectification targets.

These targets include businessmen who are vicious in competition, and road bandits and bullies. unjudicial officials, as well as Mohist radicals. This is a term that later specifically distinguishes the Mohist faction.

"Hmph. These people are simply rebels," Han Shu angrily threw away the newspaper and scolded loudly.

"Calm your anger, Your Majesty." Zhang Liang explained.

"Hmph." Han Shu snorted unwillingly.

And Zhang Liang immediately stepped forward to put forward his own opinion.

"It's imperative to address the negative impact of reporting. You know, this newspaper, but everyone today will know about it, this is putting things in front of the whole world. South Korea's business activities are just emerging and developing, and if the media reports negative news, it will be very unfavorable to our Korea. Zhang Liang immediately stepped forward and said.

"Yes. Reasonable. Han Shu nodded in agreement with Zhang Liang's opinion.

"Then, isn't it okay for the widow to order the Korean newspaper to publish public opinion against the Qin newspaper?" Han Shu said her opinion.

"Your Majesty, this is a great deal." Zhang Liang suggested.

"If the king does this, he will not admit that the incident has indeed happened, and the power of this public opinion media can currently affect the political situation of the government and the opposition in Qin, then the same is true for us in South Korea, and moreover, the newspaper of Qin occupies the mainstream position, and my Korean newspaper cannot have as much influence as the newspaper of Qin. If South Korea does not admit it, then the Qin newspapers will immediately report it and load it, which will be extremely unfavorable to the next situation in our South Korea. Saying this, Han Shu nodded approvingly. She also thinks that some things are not possible.

"So, according to what do you mean?" Han Shu asked.

"What the minister means is that it is better to tell everything truthfully and show everything sincerely." Zhang Liang said.

Subsequently. The South Korean government released a life overnight. South Korea admits that the facts in the newspaper are true, and admits the mistake to all the victims and all the people involved, and makes more efforts to rectify the situation. The first measure of rectification is to issue a blacklist of South Korea's rectification.

This blacklist is included. Vicious competition businessman, road bandit bully. Unjudges, as well as the Mohists. The emergence of the Mo family was not an accident, because some of his ideas were too radical. And took this opportunity to blacklist the Mo family. It is also the meaning of Han Shu, Zhang Liang, Han Fei and others.
