"You may not remember that back then, a certain and Sima Co talked about the strategy of the Qin State in front of the king. Sima Cuoli Chen wants to destroy Bashu first, and then take Hanzhong, and be rich in the place of Cangli, so that he can be invincible. ”

"General Sima's words are still quite far-sighted." Wei Zhang nodded and replied, "Although now Bashu is no more than a foreign land, and my Qin State has more subsidies than obtains, but after many years, Bashu Dazhi, with its easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack position, is exactly the biggest supply place in the rear of my Qin State." ”

Zhang Yi smiled awkwardly.

"I don't know what Xiangbang meant at that time?"

"The meaning of a certain is, of course, to send troops to Sanchuan, pass through Yiyang, enter Luoyi, take Jiuding, give orders with the order of the Son of Heaven, and conquer no ministers."

Wei Zhang chewed for a while, and after some consideration, he said: "Mr.'s intelligence is naturally top-notch, but there are many inappropriate things about this move. First, although Luoyi has Jiuding, it is not an easy place to defend and difficult to attack, even if my Qin State occupies Luoyi, I am afraid it will not be able to hold it, and it is better to seek benefits for others in vain, it is better to occupy Bashu with sufficient resources first, and slowly plot. ”

"Second, the authority of Zhou Tianzi is really low now. If the gentleman is ready to use the order of Zhou Tianzi to conquer the people who are not subservient, isn't it the first thing to make the Qin State obey the order of the Son of Heaven again? At that time, the king had just become king, and you had to ask him to cut off the king's title, and the king naturally did not allow it. ”

"yes." Zhang Yi nodded, "Your analysis is right, I was indeed a little anxious at the beginning." Now that I think about it, first Bashu and then Sanchuan is the right way. Hehe, I just didn't expect that this suggestion at the beginning had not won the favor of the previous king, so that the current king was on his mind. Zhang Yi's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, that kind of insight into other people's thoughts, Wei Zhang will never forget for the rest of his life.

"Sir, you mean, the king has the intention of attacking Korea and entering Nakyi?"

"Even if it doesn't hit, it's not far away." Zhang Yi drank the wine in the cup again and continued: "I have heard rumors more than once that the king cares very much about Luoyi's Jiuding and wants to go to Luoyi to watch Baoding. And if you want to enter Luoyi, you have to go through Korea, and the Koreans will not agree to the Qin army entering the territory of Korea, the only way is to open this passage yourself. ”

"But what does that have to do with the disease?"

"Nature-related. Have you forgotten that the mother of the disease is not Korean? ”

"I see!" Wei Zhang suddenly realized.

"It is unknown whether he opposed the attack on South Korea because of this matter, and it is a matter known to everyone that he has repeatedly said that it is not appropriate to attack South Korea at this time. Since his attitude is so resolute, it is not to blame the king for abandoning it. ”

Wei Zhang nodded, then remembered Zhang Yi's plan, and said with an embarrassed face: "Since Mr. already has the intention of retreating, please also ask Mr. to use a clever plan to take Wei Zhang and leave the Qin State together." ”

Zhang Yi just wanted to stop it, but he remembered that Wei Zhang was also his Zhang Yi's person, if he stayed in the Qin State, I am afraid that he would achieve nothing, and he naturally had the intention of leaving, so it would not be beautiful to stay again. What's more, Wei Zhang's age is a golden age of generals, with his ambition, how can he stay in the Qin State? It's just that as a general, leaving is treason, I'm afraid he will be wanted if he can't get out of Qin, didn't Shang Ying die on this back then?

"It's a pity to let the general follow him and live in seclusion."

Wei Zhang twisted for a while, and finally decided to tell the truth: "Actually, Wei Zhang has other places?" ”

"Oh?" Zhang Yi looked at him suspiciously, didn't Wei Zhang return to serve in Wei? He was originally from Wei, and isn't it better to return to Wei than to go to other countries?

"Nope." Wei Zhang said categorically, "As long as a certain person leaves the Qin State, there is only one destination. He said that he had not forgotten the promise made to him by someone back then, and he believed that when he got there, he would naturally do something bigger.

Zhao Guo, Handan.

Zhao Zhang, who was only ten years old, flashed his eyes, sat down under Zhao Yong, and watched the ministers below come out to say some numbers for a while, and answer some questions raised by his father or other ministers. My mind is actually a mess, and I don't know what I'm doing. Speaking of which, he is now educated. The lineup of teachers arranged by Zhao Yong for him can be regarded as a luxury group.

Fei Yi led and taught him "Zhao Law". This law can be regarded as the painstaking work of Feiyi since it became Si Kou, which was not only influenced by Li Kui's "Book of Laws", but also referred to some views in the laws of the Qin State, and was revised and formulated to neutralize the characteristics of the Zhao State, and finally compiled it, which became a necessary material for any level of administrative organs in the Zhao State. So it is very suitable for him to teach Zhao Zhang. Fei Yi is also grateful for Zhao Yong's trust, after all, Zhao Zhang is the candidate for the next King Zhao, which is equivalent to him teaching two generations of King Zhao, this kind of honor, there is no second person in the world.

Zhao Cheng, as Zhao Yong's uncle and Zhao Zhang's elder, has been responsible for the affairs of the Zhao clan for a long time, and he is responsible for the education of etiquette and communication. Zhao Cheng is the kind of person with a serious face, and it is rare to show a smile when educating Zhao Zhang, which is also a master that Zhao Zhang is most afraid of.

If there is a text, there must be martial arts, and Zhao Yong arranged for Le Yi and Pang Cong to teach Zhao Zhang. One of the two is responsible for tactical strategy, and the other is responsible for combat skills, and they are also heavyweight masters that Zhao Guo can handle.

These four are only the most basic, and the rest, such as the use of weapons, fighting skills, etc., are taught by others. In order to make Zhao Zhang's study less boring, he also selected one or two outstanding children from other Zhao royal families to accompany Zhao Zhang to study. Even the little princess who is still babbling is also in Zhao Yong's education plan.

This top-level configuration also makes everyone see that Zhao Zhang has not yet been named the crown prince, but Zhao Yong is indeed focusing on cultivating the next generation of heirs, and I am afraid that it is precisely for this reason that Zhao Zhang was able to attend today's rally, you know, this rally itself is not ordinary.

The purpose of the plan is to let the main officials and county guards in various places submit their work reports for the past six months to the king, and these achievements can be used as their own political capital. Through the wars of the past few years, the territory of Zhao has expanded several times, and the officials at the beginning could not keep up with the use at all, and with the opening of new reforms, they began to gradually get on the right track. In particular, the popularization of the county system is getting faster and faster. At first, it was only promoted in the newly occupied areas, but now the county system has been implemented in the inland areas, except for Handan. Officials from all over the country were also in place.

The so-called insiders look at the doorway, and the laymen look at the excitement. The ministers in the hall are all officials of the five kings and six temples, and what the county magistrates said is right or not, whether it is true or not, these people are clear in their hearts. At the same time, a survey of the wind reviews of the county chiefs compiled by the imperial historian Le Yi was also used as a reference for the behavior of officials in several cases of Zhao Yong.

At the same time, Zhao Yong had already ordered a long time ago that the content of all the reports of the upper planning personnel must be based on data, and they must not be exaggerated or exaggerated. Anyone who discovers this case will be dismissed from office on the spot and will not be tolerated. So much so that all the personnel trembled and walked on thin ice. Of course, although these county guards are similar to the six positions and six temples, they are now the ones who have been assessed, and they are very frightened.

Why let Zhao Zhang participate in the plan, Zhao Yong naturally knew it.

As he stayed in this era, the more he realized that the most important thing in the matter of law reform and reform was the issue of the system, and as long as this problem opened up the situation, other reforms would be carried out much faster.

Taking Zhao as an example, the breaking point of Zhao's reform is the military, because in the Warring States Period, the most important thing is military strength, and countries with strong military strength can continue to exist in this troubled era.

The second is the level of agriculture. Zhao first clarified the types of land in Zhao through discovery, and then granted land to encourage the reclamation of new land, mountains and wastelands, alleviate the contradictions caused by land concentration, and attract population. Immediately after that, the problem of grain production was solved through the tuntian.

Third, and most crucially, use the law to fix all of these rules. That's what Feiyi has been doing all along. Zhao Yong only knew that it was right to rule by law, but he didn't know why it was right. In fact, the so-called decree can be regarded as a kind of contract between the government and the people, stipulating what the people advocate and what is forbidden. And by keeping the contract, the people get their own benefits and are protected. At the same time, relevant systems have been established to ensure the smooth implementation of these contracts. As long as the interests of the people are protected, they will crusade and rebel against those who break the contract. In this way, the ruler cultivates new vested interests and protects them to grow up as a new force against the old powers. Because of this, whoever promulgates these laws will become the people of whomever they support. This is why, all changes are fundamentally opposed by the old forces.

It was precisely because of such an idea that Zhao Yong asked Zhao Zhang to participate in such a rally at a young age. Hearing and seeing, personally experienced, and fundamentally comprehended the process of Zhao Guo's reform. In this way, there will be no so-called situation of people dying and retiring from government. For example, after Shang Ying's death, why didn't King Huiwen repeal the new law and enforce the old law? It was because of being in that environment that he was exposed to the benefits that the law had brought to the Qin State, so he withstood the pressure and continued to implement the new law. From the perspective of the entire history, since the Shang Dynasty changed the law, no matter what the qualifications of the monarch of the Qin State were, no one dared to move the policy of rewarding cultivation and warfare in the Qin Law. This is the foundation of Qin's ability to unify the world, and it is also what Zhao Yong is doing.

Zhao Yong may not have much foresight in history, but the deceit in the workplace can also be used in officialdom to understand one or two, it is this sophistication that makes him know what to do in a hurry when he is laying out Zhao Guo's reforms, what to do in a compromise, and what to do in a way that must be done against public opinion. It can be said that a sophisticated person like Zhao Yong is fortunate and unfortunate to encounter an era of the largest reform in history.

"After three days, it can finally be over." Above the main hall, only Wuqing and the lieutenants remained here, and even Zhao Zhang was taken away.

"This is an annual event in Zhao State, and now Zhao State is far beyond the past, and the time is naturally much longer. The king should be pleased. Zhao Bao said with a smile.

"yes. To be able to achieve this achievement, Zhu Qing has also worked hard. ”

The crowd didn't even dare to say it.

"Okay, let's not talk about the lies, I am calling you at this time for an important matter." Zhao Yong paused, and everyone's faces tightened.

"Now that Qin and Chu are in a big war, their vitality is greatly damaged, and I am afraid that there will be no major battles for the time being. The widow deliberately knocked Han Wei to deter Qi Yan, I don't know what Zhu Qing thinks? ”
