"You don't know me anymore?" Seeing that Zhuangzi didn't dare to admit it, the shopkeeper smiled self-deprecatingly. "We were last year! At! I saw it in the Tingwei Mansion of the Qin State! I remember you! ”

"Tingwei's Mansion?" The thin young man was even more puzzled: when he was in the Qin State, he lived in the house of Daliang Zao Wei Ying, and he had never been to the Tingwei Mansion at all? Not to mention who you've met?

This thin young man was none other than Zhuangzi, who was honored by later generations.

Zhuangzi, surnamed Zhuang, named Zhou, Zixiu, Song Guomeng, ancestor is Song Daigong.

He was a famous thinker, philosopher, and writer in the middle of the Warring States period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. After Lao Tzu, he was one of the representatives of the Taoist school during the Warring States period. One of the seven sons of the pre-Qin Dynasty, he is called "Lao Zhuang" together with Lao Tzu. Main works: "Zhuangzi", also known as "Nanhua Zhenjing". The Taoism of later generations regarded him as a real person in Nanhua.

"Not impressed? I don't know you! Zhuangzi said, dodging to the side. Prepare to get out of the way and go to your room with the store.

At this time, Zhuangzi returned from his studies and passed through Wei to return to Song.

"That's right! It's you! I remember you! You are Zhuang Zhou! Zhuangzi! The shopkeeper looked directly at Zhuangzi, looked up and down a few times, and nodded affirmatively.

"Zhuangzi? Is he the Zhuangzi you are talking about? The shopkeeper also turned around and changed his face, surprised with admiration.

"That's right! That's him! That's right! ”

"Disrespectful! Disrespectful! It turns out that you are Zhuangzi! The shopkeeper said and bowed to Zhuangzi.

"You? You guys? Zhuangzi instinctively took a step back, looking panicked.

"We've seen it in the prison of the Qin State Court's Governor's Mansion! I know you! The shopkeeper said to the shopkeeper, "Thanks to him, isn't it?" Our group couldn't go back to Wei, so we were imprisoned by the Qin government. It's him! Zhuangzi! Saved us! ”

"In the prison of the Qin State Mansion?" Only then did Zhuangzi remember.

In the prison of Qin Guoting's Mansion, there were so many people at that time, where did he remember them one by one? Naturally, someone knows him and he doesn't.

"Shop! All the expenses of Zhuangzi, I have covered! Zhuangzi! Thank you! ”

"Me? I? I really don't remember you? I? ”

"It's okay! It's okay! The shopkeeper smiled: "You recognize the room first, I'll wait for you!" I'll drink later, and I'll tell you more! It's okay! ”

The shopkeeper said, waving his hand at the shopkeeper, signaling the shopkeeper to lead Zhuangzi to the room first.

The shopkeeper nodded and walked to the front and led Zhuangzi to the room. He followed behind, waiting for Zhuangzi.

Zhuangzi entered the room, took off his baggage, and looked around the room. Seeing that the shopkeeper was still waiting aside, he said, "You go down first!" I want to take a break. ”

"Nope! The rich man is still waiting to drink with you! The shopkeeper said.

"Rich man?"

"You don't even know about the white rich people?" The shopkeeper asked with some regret.

"I don't know!"

Zhuangzi looked cold, and he instinctively guarded against strangers.

"I'm Baekyu! Everyone calls me the rich man! It's just a businessman! Do some business in the Great Zhou world, isn't it? I've also been to the Qin State, and I've been arrested by the government! Hehehe! ”

Bai Gui was disappointed when he learned that this person was Zhuangzi.

Zhuangzi was not tall and very thin. Don't? Are the Zhuangzi recorded in history real?

Zhuangzi then looked at the other party carefully and found that this person who called himself Bai Gui may be in his fifties. However, he was well maintained, his complexion was fair and ruddy, and he was only in his forties at first glance.

"You? You? I still don't know you! ”

"It doesn't matter if you don't know! You are a great talent! I'm waiting to admire! You are not only talented, but also chivalrous! I'm waiting to admire! Admire! Bai Gui stepped forward, grabbed Zhuangzi's hands and said.

"We've all heard, you Zhuangzi is talented! In the prison of the Qin State Mansion, your martial arts are world-famous, and you are not afraid of heaven and earth! We have all heard about it, and everyone in the world has spread it. You! The Great Liang Zao of the Qin State personally went to the prison of the Tingwei Mansion to fish you out. We've all heard!

If it weren't for you, how could the Qin State release so many people at once? Qin State! On the surface, it is talking about the legal system, but in fact! They are scratching for no reason. If you don't pay the fine, they will pull you to work as a coolie and create wealth for their Qin State......"

The shopkeeper counted on the side.

The historical Zhuangzi was a literati. But the Zhuangzi in reality is good at martial arts. And! It's a very powerful martial arts.

Bai Gui interrupted the shopkeeper and said, "Go and prepare a table of good food and wine for me, I want to have a good drink with Zhuangzi!" ”

Under Bai Gui's hospitality, Zhuangzi followed him downstairs and came to the hall on the first floor.

"Zhuangzi? Is he Zhuangzi? ”

"Long admiration! Long admiration! ”

"Ahh It turned out to be Zhuangzi? ”

The businessmen who were talking about Chun Yuji before, when they saw the white official taking Zhuangzi's hand and walking down, saying that this person was Zhuangzi, they all stood up and stood up in awe.

After meeting with everyone, Bai Gui took Zhuangzi back to the private room upstairs for a detailed discussion.

Bai Gui thought to himself: Zhuangzi in this period, what virtue can he have?

In ancient times, it was not so casual to call others "sons". Zhuangzi just debuted, right? It is called "Zi", Zhuangzi!

Outcome! Surprise Baekyu! This Zhuangzi is really not simple.

It's true! Don't underestimate young people! Young people are really "terrible in the afterlife".

Don't judge people by their looks! Zhuangzi is not tall, but his talent and knowledge are not comparable to ordinary people.

After entering the topic, Bai Gui asked eagerly, "What do you think of the Qin State?" What do you think of the martingale? Will his change succeed? ”

Zhuangzi sighed and said, "Wei Ying, the great good creation of the Qin State, has no time to go into detail at present. I talked to him, and he said! The progress of history always requires some people to make sacrifices!

The current Qin State needs comprehensive reform, macro reform control, and for the details, it can only be improved slowly in the future!

All in all! Qin Gong and Wei Ying, they still have mistakes and correct them. There is no way, the opposition does not support the reform, and it is still an obstruction from it, specifically picking on your shortcomings, loopholes in the law, and breeding trouble. Alas! ……”

Speaking of the affairs of the Qin State, Zhuangzi had more words.

Bai Gui and the others listened with their mouths open, and they couldn't stop nodding their heads at Zhuangzi's explanation.

"Anyway! The reform of Wei Martingale is right! Don't say anything else! The facts are in front of you, there is more grain in the granary of the Qin State, and the population of the Qin State is also increasing! All walks of life in the Qin State are developing rapidly, this is the truth! This is national strength!

Those who opposed the Wei Ying's reform were only a very small minority, and they were the hereditary aristocracy. And the broad masses of the people, the old Qin people still support it. Because they get the benefit out of it! Pity! They are soft-spoken, and their voices cannot be heard.

So! The changes of the Qin State were misled in the vassal states and in the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is said that the Qin State used torture and did not give freedom to others, etc.

And also! As the Qin State gradually became stronger, the other vassal states were afraid! They obviously knew that Wei Ying's change of law had changed the Qin State, but they were attacking and accusing the Qin State of Qin with the help of the change. It's not that the law is bad, it's not that the laws of the Qin State are too strict, but! I'm afraid that the Qin State has become stronger......"

Zhuangzi said that he had seen Wei Ying, and Bai Gui couldn't believe it. Later, I learned that Zhuangzi had known Wei Ying for a long time. Later, when he followed Yang Zhu to live in seclusion, he often went to the Qin State, and Yang Zhu also gave Wei Ying a sermon.
