King Wei Hui saw that Zhuangzi was still unwilling to come to Wei to be an official, and everyone had their own ambitions, so he was no longer reluctant. Bayi Chinese.com ≈≈≥.≤ Because it was still far away from the national capital Daliang, I didn't take Zhuangzi back to Wei Palace. I stayed down and received him warmly.

As a diplomat, Hui Shi was very busy.

Dressed in patched clothes and wearing a pair of bark shoes with hemp silk tied with the upper of his shoes on his feet, Zhuangzi entered the camp of King Wei Hui, leaving the soldiers stunned one by one. How could these soldiers not believe it? Will King Wei Hui receive such a poor ghost?

After inquiry, I learned that this person was the legendary Zhuangzi.

"Oh! It turned out to be Zhuangzi! ”

"That's it! No wonder you're so poor? ”

The soldiers were whispering behind their backs. Some understand, some don't.

But! Whether others understand it or not, for Zhuangzi, it is to cultivate his influence and enhance his influence.

King Wei Hui changed his normal state and asked Zhuangzi without shame, asking Zhuangzi: How to make Wei strong again?

A few years ago, Zhuangzi had given the idea to King Wei Hui to spread his population and attack the hereditary aristocracy.

Outcome! King Wei Hui really did that, and! It works great.

King Wei Hui sent soldiers with military merits home to visit relatives, marry wives and have children, let those whose wives were pregnant go to military service, let those who were disabled retire, and so on. Outcome! The population of Wei came up all at once. The land area of Wei is much larger than that of Song, so! The degree of population exhibition is quite fast.

But? The after-effects immediately appeared.

As Zhuangzi said! Although the population has risen, the burden on families has increased. The number of people in the family is large, and pregnant and lactating women are not allowed to participate in the labor force, so the average family cannot afford it. Although Wei implemented a new policy and did not increase taxes for childbearing families, the lack of labor was a big problem.

The key question is! Although Wei no longer took the initiative to fight, it still fought passively. You can only guarantee that you will not go to war, but you cannot guarantee that others will not come to fight you. If someone else comes to fight you, you have to passively participate in the war.

So! On the one hand, the Wei State needed labor to support its family, and on the other hand, it wanted to increase the source of troops to fight wars and defend the country.

At this time, the powerful Qin State, together with the Chu State, the Zhao State, and Korea, constantly started wars, and did not give the Wei State a chance to breathe at all.

In terms of financial resources, King Wei Hui decisively attacked the hereditary nobles and scavenged financial resources from them, and he could cope with them for a while. The hereditary nobles of Wei could not twist their arms around their thighs, and they were forced to comply by the might of King Wei Hui.

In the Wei Kingdom! Because King Wei Hui had the means, the real power and financial resources were concentrated in his hands, and most of the hereditary nobles in the territory could not make trouble.

Right now! In the face of such a Wei state, how should Zhuangzi save it?

King Wei Hui looked at Zhuangzi with expectant eyes, and Hui Shi also looked at Zhuangzi with some pity on the side.

King Wei Hui has that feeling of being at the end of the road, so! He really hoped that Zhuangzi would be able to give some pointers. Hui Shi is different, Hui Shi is pitiful because he has no way to save the country. But in his heart, there was still some jealousy.

Hui Shi still doesn't believe it, what good strategy can Zhuangzi have to save this devastated Wei State?

Zhuangzi thought about it again and again, shook his head and sighed: "I don't have the best strategy, the only way is for Wei to stop fighting." If there is another war, the Wei State really can't afford to spend it! It's true! ”

King Wei Hui smiled bitterly: "I think so too!" But? I can't help but think? The state of Qin did not stop because of the death of Qin Xiaogong, nor did it decline because of the death of Shang Ying! Opposite! The Qin State still followed the old system and followed the law of Shang Marting. It's still small! This Yingsi! It has become even more intense, and it has become more and more arrogant. Right now! The useless Dongdong of the Great Zhou Tianzi attaches great importance to him in the Qin State, isn't this? Every year, sacrificial meat is sent to the Qin State! ”

In the past, the Qin State was very backward, and it was suppressed by Wei and other countries every year, and the Great Zhou Emperor did not take the Qin State seriously. Every year, when the sacrifice is made, the sacrificial meat is not given to the Qin State. But since the Qin State became strong, Zhou Tianzi suddenly sent sacrificial meat to the Qin State.

Hearing the exclamation of King Wei Hui, Zhuangzi suddenly remembered that when he followed his master Yang Zhu to pass by the gate of the Son of Heaven, he was warmly received by the Emperor of the Great Zhou. The master preached to the Great Zhou Tianzi. Afterward! also taught Da Zhou Tianzi a trick.

Seemingly! Today's King Wei Hui's situation is no different from that of the Great Zhou Tianzi back then.

I remember that at that time, the master taught the Great Zhou Tianzi, which roughly meant: to be a show, to do your own position as the Son of Heaven, and to be old to the end. As long as the Great Zhou is not destroyed in your lifetime, history will leave a name for you.

It's a shame to be the last king.

Today! You can also transfer the words that the master said to the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty to King Wei Hui.

Judging from the current situation of the Great Zhou, the fate of Wei is similar to the fate of the Great Zhou. It is impossible for the Great Zhou Dynasty to dominate the world and let the princes of the world come on pilgrimage. And the state of Wei is the same, it is impossible to become a country of hegemony again.

Right now! The only thing that King Wei Hui had to do was to maintain his position and continue the Wei state until he was alive without being destroyed. Such! King Hui of Wei can also leave a mark in history: the longest reigning king in the history of Wei. The longest-reigning king in the history of the Warring States. During his reign, Wei had a glorious state and became a hegemon.

"You can return the land of Qin that you occupied before to Qin, and give the title deed of Hexi to Qin, and you can temporarily reconcile with Qin......"

Although the Qin State occupied Hexi and other places, it regained the land that originally belonged to the Qin State. But? Wei did not transfer the title deed to Qin. So! The real owner of the land is still the Wei State.

"How can this be?" King Wei Hui interrupted.

These are all the hard work and hearts of him and his ancestors! How can the land that was finally won down be easily returned to others?

"Did you see that? The Qin State occupied the land of Shangzhou, and the Chu State did not fight with the Qin State, on the contrary! Covenants were also established. Why? It was because the state of Chu could not fight with the state of Qin for the time being. If the two powerful countries fight, they will only lose both. So! Chu endured. It's not that you don't want the land of Shangzhou, but! I don't have that strength for the time being. If there is a fight, I don't know if I can take it back, but! It is obvious that the outcome of the war is a lose-lose situation. So! ……”

Zhuangzi said, his eyes looking at King Wei Hui.

King Wei Hui pondered for a while and said, "The widow can't say that he took the initiative to go to the Qin State to repair the alliance, right?" And what if? Qin still doesn't think that the outnumbered Wei State will not dare to fight? ”

"It's not to take the initiative to show goodwill and repair an alliance with the Qin State. But! And so on. When the opportunity comes, bring it up again. The current Wei State needs the most land to recuperate and recuperate, and it can no longer fight. When we get this breath of relief, we can still dominate, right? You can get back what you've lost, right? ”
