Xiong Jing didn't care about Chen Bi's life and death, Chen Bi's words may be reasonable, but they are definitely not suitable for the current Chu State. It's just that he is dead, but Xiong Jing always feels that he has to say something to show his position, to show the position of the Yingdu Imperial Court. After he coughed a few times, the Zhengling on his side immediately shouted that the king had a training, and everyone bowed down again.

"What sinners say, so do the government of fools. The traitor rules the country, and the people are close to the king; Weak to strong, weak people to strengthen the country. After my Chu people are Zhurong, the descendants of the god of fire and the family of Taiyi are born to be one level higher than the people of the world, how can they do this kind of government of foolish people? Xiong Jing looked at the people who were bowing down, and there was a wave of embarrassment in his heart - I don't know if this kind of bowing is a fool?

"No, I only wish you to be strong and not weak, I only want you to be rich but not poor, I only want you to be wise and I don't want you to be dull. Therefore, the government that is not good is the government of the people. If there is no industrial and commercial people, how can there be a great iron technique? If there are no heroes, how can there be good soldiers? If there are no well-educated people, how can there be a text that will be handed down to the world? If there is no minister, how can I become a Chu person?

Sinners say that when the people are strong, the soldiers are weak. It's not that the soldiers are weak, but that the soldiers are few. What about the small number of soldiers? Would a wolf be afraid of a flock of sheep? Can a spotted lose to a herd of deer? The government of the Chu State, the government of the strong people, the pawn of the Chu State, the pawn of the elite; The soldiers of the Chu State, the brave soldiers. Why are the Wei people afraid? The Wei people entered the city and were driven out of the city; Why are the Qin people afraid? The Qin people were defeated by Qing Shui last year, and they will be defeated by Chen Ying this year. ”

In order to let more people hear what he said, Xiong Jing can be regarded as using the strength to eat milk. It's a pity that when he came out, no one applauded. What he didn't expect was that these people couldn't understand it, he spoke Chu language, and Chen Ying's common people couldn't understand Chu language.

"I don't know, you don't know what is the government of the strong people, but after the new policy is implemented, you will know, what is the government of the strong people?" After Xiong Jing said this, he waved his sleeves back to the palace, and everyone waited for him to enter the Maomen before he dared to get up, and with the sound of the main order, the people who were still terrified before instantly became excited and angry, but the screams of the prisoners when they were torn out were understandable.

"Your Majesty, what Chen Bi said is Qin Zhengye." There is no one else in the Ming Hall, and Xiong Jing can't read the draft of Chu Shi for the time being, and the right history said when he saw this.

"This is Qin Zheng?" The state of Chu did not collect Legalist works, and no one studied Qin politics.

"Yes, yes." Right Shi nodded deeply, "If the traitors rule the country, the people will be pro-systematic; Everyone is weak, and the country is strong. ”

"It turns out that ......" The logic of traitors governing the country Xiong Jing understands, but it is just a black and white face singing a double reed.

The traitors, that is, the officials, must be vicious, and they must bully the people so that they shout, life is worse than death, so that the people will expect to be clean officials and appreciate the emperor's grace, so in all dynasties, officials are always evil and greedy, and the Qing officials and emperors are always good and benevolent.

As everyone knows, corrupt officials and evil officials are part of the governance system, and if the emperor really listens to what the virtuous ministers say and gets rid of the corrupt officials and evil officials, it is to dig up the corners of the wall and cut off his own vitality. He can kill some officials at the right time to relieve the common people's anger and liveliness, and create the illusion that this emperor is a good emperor, but he must not subvert the entire ruling system.

Wu De in Lingoli managed the prisoners, so that Fu Youdi, who had the potential to be a traitor, managed the food. This not only caused conflicts and strife among the captives, but also caused all the captives to think that "the adults have been deceived by the traitors, the adults are good, and the adults please make the decisions for us and uphold justice."

This is 'the traitor rule the country, then the people are in control (the king)'. People who really have social experience and people who really read history books know this trick, but Xiong Jing is surprised that this is more than 2,000 years ago, and this set of double reed tricks existed more than 2,000 years ago.

"Chen Biyan said: 'If the people are strong, the country will be strong, and if the people are weak, the country will be weak, which is even more absurd! This was true in ancient times, or so in the Middle Ages, but it is not so today. Why? The people's hearts are evil! Xiong Jing said another passage of Chen Bi's words, "Shi Qing, what do you mean by this?" ”

"What do you mean?" Right Shi was still thinking about it, and Zuo Shi said: "Tell the king: Chen Bi's words are that today's world is bad and happy, and it can be punished compared to the house." The minister heard that Mencius once said: "The goodness of human nature is like the water that goes down", but Xun Guo said: "The evil nature of human beings is false, and the good ones are hypocritical." This shows that the people's nature is becoming more and more evil......"

"False!" Right Shi is older, and the father of Zuo Shi is the same generation, and he doesn't dare to speak as soon as he reprimands Zuo Shi. "King, it is true that there is a bad etiquette, but it is not the case that forcing the house can be punished. Xun Guo said that 'people's nature is evil, and their good ones are hypocritical', which is the people's heart of the three Jin Dynasty of the Qin State, not the Chu State. ”

"Then how is my Chu people's heart?" Xiong Jing didn't care about the three Jin of Qin, he only cared about Chu.

"Chu is not China, and there are no disadvantages of China." The will of the people is the basis for determining whether or not to implement the rule of the double reed. If the people are evil, it is natural to rule the country with traitors, but if the people are not evil, it is not. "The state of Chu has never had a county system, although there are counties under it, it is really like a feudal country.

And every expedition is sympathetic to the people's strength. In that year, the fifteen towns on the riverside were recovered, and only 150,000 troops were dispatched; Relieve the siege of Handan and send 100,000 troops. Before moving eastward, he controlled Wei and rescued Yan, and sent 30,000 troops; In the Battle of Danyang, 100,000 troops were dispatched, which was the Battle of Lantian, and it was only 300,000.

The three Jin people of the Qin State were evil, and after all the Fu nationality, they fought endlessly for many years, causing the family to be filial piety and people to be tired of soldiers. It is not the evil of the people, but the people have to be evil in order to survive. The people are more and more evil, so the rule of the traitorous people, and the Legalist magic power is all said here. Chen County was adjacent to Zheng State earlier, and now it is adjacent to Wei State, and Chen Bi advocates the rule of traitors, all because of this. ”

"Got it." Xiong Jing breathed a sigh of relief, he liked that his subjects were not evil, and he did not need to rule with traitors. "Last year, Jiangyi was defeated, endangering the community, and everyone panicked, so 300,000 troops were dispatched; This year, it is not the case, and the number of troops sent will not exceed 200,000. ”

"This great king is also inherent." Right Shi sighed. "The hearts of the people of Chu are like this, and if we continue to strengthen the people's government, the country will be strong."

"Then ......" Xiong Jing thought of Chen County, although it was in wartime, but the war will eventually end. After Chen is gone, if he goes to the county officials, he will replace him with honorable people......"

"The minister asked the king not to let Chen Jian go to his post." Right Shi admonished. "But the county officials should be removed and replaced by honorable people."

"Oh." Xiong Jing was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed, it is indeed better to steal beams and replace pillars than to tear down and rebuild. He immediately summoned the servant Chang Jiang and said, "It's been a long time since the statistics were counted, but do you have eyebrows?" What about Lang Yin? What about the bookkeepers? ”

The bureaucracy is intertwined, and a large number of officials from the capital of Yingdu have entered Chen Ying, which is really refreshing, and Xiong Jing who wants to completely overthrow Chen Ying's existing system relies on the people of the palace temple, Lang Yin is the official who manages the daily life of the palace under Wang Yin, and the bookkeeper is the bookkeeper of the palace.

"The old slave is here." Chang Jiang soon summoned Lang Yin and the bookkeeper.

"King Yu, Chen Ying's rule, evil also!" The bookkeeper looked through all the accounts of Chen County and knew very well about the finances of Chen County. "There are more than 60,000 households in the county, and the annual income of the Yin Mansion is only 857,500 stones, but in fact, the land rent is more than 2,378,000 stones."

One is 850,000 and the other is 2,370,000, almost three times. Xiong Jing shook his head and said, "So much? ”

"Yes, yes." After the bookkeeper finished speaking, Lang Yin also said, "Your Great King, my Chu State has a hundred and two municipal taxes and one hundred and one customs duties, and Chen County is the friend of Chu Xia, so the county Yin and the officials sometimes collude. For the goods shipped into the Chu State, the tariff is not one hundred, most of them are one hundred and three, and the highest one is one hundred and ten. The city tax is not one hundred and two, most of them are one hundred and seven, and the city order is Chen Biao, and everyone calls it Chen Qi. If the merchant does not pay the tax of 177, he will be killed. Chen Bi, Si Defeat, county officials and others accepted bribes, all of which were hidden. ”

"How much did they make in the city tax?" Xiong Jing suddenly sneered.

"Go to the old age to be a ......," Lang Yin said and looked at the bookkeeper as he spoke, but he didn't say anything. Fortunately, the two of them are eunuchs, otherwise Xiong Jing would have thought that he was greedy for ink when he checked the accounts, and only gave himself a fraction of the fraction.

"Your Majesty, after removing the taxes paid to the Dafu last year, there are still more than 8,000 gold left." The bookkeeper told that even Xiong Jing was used to seeing Wan Jin, and he was taken aback. This is the annual income of a county, and in a normal county, it is great to have 600 gold a year in land rent.

"There are more than 8,000 gold left every year, and more than 80,000 gold in ten years, what about the money?" Xiong Jing hurriedly asked. "Where's Chen's money?"

"The king, the county Yin has no money." The bookkeeper's answer made Xiong Jing collapse. "Chen is good at wine and greedy for sex, and it is rumored that the family is full of fine wine and beautiful women. A beauty, ranging from a hundred gold, has a beauty, and should have jewelry and silk brocade ......"

The bookkeeper said a long sentence, in short, Chen Jian had no money, and his money was all spent to eat, drink and have fun. Not only did he spend it all, but he also borrowed a lot of money, which added up to about five or six thousand gold owed to the merchants.

"Bastard!" Xiong Jing was so angry that he scolded, he really wanted to cook Chen Jian alive. The bookkeeper didn't know that he was scolding Chen Jian, so he hurriedly knelt down and said: "The little minister's account is not mixed, please check the king." ”

"Not you." Xiong Jing waved his sleeves, "In Chen Bi's house?" Or are they county officials? ”

"This hasn't been checked yet." Lang Yin replied. Right Shi hurriedly said: "Please forgive the sins of the rest of the people, so as not to make the army unstable." ”

During the siege of the city, Zuo Shi and Lang Yin also said, "Please forgive the sins of the rest of the people." ”

"Pardon, pardon, pardon." Xiong Jing reluctantly said three pardons in a row, and then said to Lang Yin: "Tomorrow at noon, you will carry all the account books of the county government to the court, and burn them all in front of everyone." It is said that this case only involves Chen Bi, not the rest. ”

"Yui." Lang Yin replied heavily, feeling that the king's move was very good.

"Then you can talk about the county officials later." Xiong Jing has let go of the corrupt, but he will never let go of the rule of the traitors.

"Your Majesty, the official system of Chen County is similar to that of other counties, but there are many corpses and servants." Lang Yin replied. "Under the county magistrate, there are two positions: county Cheng and Sima. Under the county, there are subordinate and household Cao, Cangcao, Tian Cao, Shui Cao, Jin Cao, Ji Cao, Si Luo, Prison Peng, and Post Peng, as well as small officials, fighting food, servants, etc.; Under Sima, there are left and right Sima, and then there are village husbands, servants, etc. In the township, there are civil officials such as Xu, Shi, Zheng, Chang, and Doctor. and the number of those who ate grain was three thousand seven hundred and seventeen. ”
