In the final analysis, there is still a shortage of troops, and it is grain that determines the strength of troops. Behind the military system of the Qin State is a more powerful transportation system, and behind the transportation system is a huge national mobilization system, and the war is already a confrontation between systems.

Han Feizi said: 'The ancients competed for morality, the Middle Ages pursued wisdom, and today competed for strength'. Breaking the superficial decoration, the essence of this sentence is actually that in the Spring and Autumn Period, including the Spring and Autumn Period and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, everyone also pays attention to etiquette (rules), and competing for morality is to compete with real bravery under the constraints of etiquette. Strong is strong, weak is weak, it is indisputable, the weak must obey the strong.

Seeking truth from facts, using reason to understand, and Legalism is not wrong, this is indeed the ultimate solution to stop the war in the world. But in terms of sensibility, if Xiong Jing and even all the Chu people want to become a submissive Qianshou who only knows how to plough and fight, it is better to give the enemy the fiercest blow and choose a glorious death.

Looking at these doctors in front of him, Xiong Jing unconsciously thought of Zhuzi, and from Zhuzi to the world of war, and finally to the six countries that are now in danger, as well as the Chu people who are 'obeying after the way, and being strong first if there is no way'.

The doctors agreed to interrupt his thoughts, and he smiled lightly: "Since you are here to change the Fa, you should know the precedent of the change." The country of Qi is the country of Qi of the Tian family, and it is also the country of Qi people, so the change of law should be determined by the sects of the Tian family and more than 4 million Qi people. Master Bu and Master Ying are only supervising and supervising the change of the law, not presiding over the change of the law. If the change is successful, Bu Yu and Yingshi will immediately withdraw from Qi and will not occupy an inch of Qi country. ”

"This teacher of benevolence and righteousness is also!" Chun Yuyue couldn't help but praise, he thought that the Chu State would take this opportunity to ask for a lot of benefits from the Qi State, who wanted to hear Xiong Jing's meaning, the Chu State didn't want anything.

"From tomorrow onwards, all the expenses of the Yingshi will be taken care of by Qi Guo." Xiong Jing said very seriously. The Chu army consumed 80 tons (6,000 stones) of millet every day, and if the controversy over the reform of the law was protracted, the consumption of grain and straw and expenses would be extremely huge.

"I haven't heard that some people want to go to Chu but go north, and I don't know the geography. Today, the trend of Qin swallowing the Six Kingdoms has been revealed, and the King of Qi is blinded by Hou Sheng, afraid of Qin like a tiger, and breaks his word and fat. Therefore, the law should know the general trend of the world, and do not force the Qi State to form an alliance with Chu and Zhao to resist Qin, but if the Qi State is still pro-Qin and does not have the equipment for the Qin State, it is better to die in Chu today if it does not fight with other days. ”

The request to change the law was so simple that the doctors present couldn't believe it, but the two histories of the left and right around Xiong Jing were being recorded, and they turned to believe it. The king of Chu is not heavy on gifts, and he has no jokes, this should be true.

The Wise Men were soon invited out of the Shogunate. Xiong Jing explained the premise of changing the law, and also explained the procedure for making a statement: if you want to change the law, you need to write a detailed political program first, and submit it to the national Yi doctors for public discussion, and the Chu people will not interfere during this period. This displeased many doctors. For example, law, magic, and power, these power techniques to control the courtiers and the common people, can only be sued by the king, but cannot be said to the courtiers, and can only be sued by the officials, and cannot be appealed to the common people.

The doctor's reaction Xiong Jing didn't care, and when these retreated, he left Chun Yuyue alone.

"Sit." It is no longer in the middle court, but in the Western Horde. Xiong Jing asked Chun Yuyue to sit and invited him to tea.

Of course, Chun Yuyue knew Xiong Jing's intention to leave him, which was to bet on him. He drank tea shallowly, waiting for Xiong Jing to speak. It's just that Xiong Jing didn't speak, so he had no choice but to say: "Dare to ask the king Qi Guo what law he wants to change, and what kind of government he wants to do?" ”

"Qi Guo," Xiong Jing thought about him just now, and listened to Chun Yuyue's words. "The country of Qi is a country of merchants, and there are many merchants, and there are more people who are dependent on merchants, does Chunzi think so?"

"Yes." Chun Yuyue nodded naturally. The many merchants of Qi are determined by the geography of Qi State, and the government of Guan Zhong has laid the foundation of Qi State's political system, and this point must not be ignored to change the law.

"That being the case," Xiong Jing repeated. "It is necessary to change the law to preserve the interests and rights of merchants, and the important techniques must not be carried out again."

"Dare to ask the king, how can the court benefit if you don't do the art of severity? If there is no real profit, how to deal with Qin equipment? Chun Yuyue asked rhetorically.

"Doctors and businessmen can just pay taxes. Merchants can pay taxes and enter foreign courts. Xiong Jing's answer made Chun Yuyue stunned, and he not only answered, but also made an analogy with the tea in the cup. The cup of tea is the benefit of the Qi country, and the light and heavy art will pour the benefits of the merchants and the common people to the imperial court. What did the imperial court do? The gold of the Qi country is just an extravagant expense for the nobles. Therefore, when Qi changed the law, it was the first thing to change taxes. ”

"Changing taxes?!" Chun Yu is more than a Confucian, and Confucianism has always been light on wealth and virtue.

"Yes." Xiong Jing Road. "The system of salt and iron must be abolished; The corn monopoly must be abolished; The rotation of acres must be abolished. ”

"In this way, the poor get poorer, and the rich get richer." Chun Yuyue was taken aback, and the first reaction in his mind was this.

"The state uses the royal court and the imperial court are divided into each other, and the royal court and the court are all paid by the rich." Xiong Jing added. "If the Chu State is in the Zheng Dynasty and the Foreign Dynasty are in the two systems, the Zheng Dynasty is the Tian family, and the Foreign Dynasty is the Shang Jia."

"No, no." Chun Yuyue couldn't listen to it anymore, "How can a businessman be a lowly businessman?" ”

"Half of the people in the Qi country are businessmen, how to govern the country if they don't let businessmen enter the foreign court?" Xiong Jing looked at Chun Yuyue a few times again, "No, how does Chunzi think to change the law?" What will be done? ”

Xiong Jing took a step back, and also wanted to see if Chun Yuyue was worth cooperating in this matter. If he is pedantic, then he can only change someone. He pushed the problem to Chun Yuyue, and Chun Yuyue said: "Qi changed the law, and he should be polite and benevolent first." The king is only able to ask whether the courtesy is important or the benefit, and the self-courtesy is also important. ”

"In this case, do you need to use the light and heavy technique?" Xiong Jing asked with a smile.

"How can you kill the benefits of the businessmen and benefit the farmers?" Chun Yuyue's answer disappointed Xiong Jing. Even though Qi Ru gradually praised the political system of the Chu State, once they gained the initiative, they still wanted to do benevolent government.

"Where does the profit come from if you take advantage of businessmen with the skill of lightness and weight?" Xiong Jing sighed. "The clothes and shoes of the Qi country in the world, and the goods in all countries, are all the merits of businessmen. If there are no merchants, how can the people be rich in the land of Qi country's 'land and grains'? ”

"Businessmen make profits and lose morality, and their people are not uprooted, if they are political, how can they be polite? Why is it benevolent? Chun Yuyue also sighed.

"Alas......" Xiong Jing smiled bitterly. He began to feel that it was a mistake to choose Chun Yuyue as his collaborator, and that he had always pursued the ideals of Confucianism and ignored the reality of Qi. It is certain to suppress business, and it is absolutely impossible for businessmen to engage in politics. Maybe this also has his selfish intentions, since the businessman can be in politics, what else do Confucian people do.

"In that case, Junko, please go back." Xiong Jing said with a wry smile. "Chunzi's political program can be handed over to Tian Leave at the right time."

After Hou Sheng's death, Tian Jia is already the acting prime minister, and he will be in charge of changing the law. Chun Yuyue was also a little disappointed when he heard this, because the political platforms of other doctors were also handed over to Tian Jiao. After handing it in, it will be a public discussion, and it has nothing to do with him what kind of political program will be implemented.

"The state of Chu has already implemented the state of Zhou, why doesn't the king want the state of Qi to also govern the state of Zhou?" Chun Yuyue moved his buttocks, wanting to get Xiong Jing's support.

"Chu State has done Zhou Zheng?" Xiong Jing was a little surprised. "The state of Chu is just a system of a righteous dynasty and a foreign dynasty. Nearly half of the civil businessmen of Qi State, nearly half of the non-farming people, do not pay attention to commercial politics but to Zhou government, how can he resist Qin in the future? If I am a businessman, Qin Guoyu said to me, if you descend to Qin, you will pay attention to businessmen, does Chunzi think that I will surrender to Qin? ”

"Businessmen value profit but have no virtue, and they are not credible." Chun Yuyue did not answer Xiong Jing's question, only emphasizing the conduct of the businessman.

"It is the nature of businessmen to value profits, how to do business without profits?" Xiong Jing Road. "Only by valuing profits can we hire workers to work, and only then can we turn fish, salt, mulberry and hemp into corn, what is wrong? If a businessman is not virtuous, is a scholar virtuous? Chunzi can go to other places if he wants to do Zhou politics, and half of the Ding Kou in Qi is a businessman and a businessman. ”

Xiong Jing didn't want to talk to Chun Yu anymore, he and Xun were only fifty steps and a hundred steps apart, the difference was that Xunzi gradually realized that morality alone could not achieve Jingtian Zhouzheng, and it was only possible to achieve it by force and law coercion, otherwise the common people with evil sex would never become simple and obedient ancient people.

Xiong Jing wanted to send off the guests, and Chun Yuyue, who knew that he couldn't miss this opportunity, didn't want to leave. He seemed to take a step back and said, "Dare to ask the king, if all the foreign dynasties are merchants, and the Qi country is all merchants, what will the generals be?" ”

"Business can enrich the people, even if they are poor, they may also be rich in other countries." Xiong Jing Road. "The sea boat of Chu will pass through the world, and the world of Qi will be so rich, if the world of clothes and shoes should be rich?"

"Rannong is the foundation of the country, if the whole country is business......" Chun Yuyue began to shake his head again, he couldn't imagine a country where the whole country was business.

"Since they are all merchants, why can't they buy grain with the profits they get?" Xiong Jing Road. "Nowadays, Qi buys as much as 20 million stones of millet every year, and it is open to the world, and it can buy grain and straw in the world......"

Xiong Jing is already light, and a few words will make the maid send off. It was already dark about this matter, and the Qi people on the battlefield were already collecting the bones of their families. In this battle, the Chu army suffered more than 2,000 casualties, the Qi people suffered more than 30,000 casualties, and about 6,000 or 7,000 people were killed in direct battle. This is, of course, the result of the Chu army not rushing to kill everything, according to the normal situation, the casualties of the defeated side will exceed 30%, and if the terrain is favorable or deliberately beheaded, it is not uncommon for the entire army to be annihilated.

The cry of the Qi people could be faintly heard in the north wind, and thinking of the diplomatic relations between Chu and Qi, Xiong Jing said to Zhuang Wudi: "Order the medical tent to start collecting the Qi soldiers and soldiers, and try to save them as much as possible." ”

More than 20 percent of the wounded die within three hours from their injuries or blood loss. It's been three hours, and the damned ones are dead, and the next ones to die are wound infections: tetanus, gangrene, sepsis, and broken bones. Tetanus and sepsis have no cure, and they can only rely on the wounded soldiers' own physique to contend with them, and the death of the Chu army's wounded soldiers is due to this.
