Chapter 938: Satisfied

The Wei state was a new type of vassal state that split from the Jin state. Bayi Chinese ā‰ ā‰ˆā‰„.≠8=1≤Z≄≄.=C≤O≄M

In 453 BC, Zhao Xiangzi, Wei Huanzi and Han Kangzi were divided. In 4o3 BC, the three families of Wei, Zhao, and Han were officially made princes by Zhou Tianzi.

It was precisely for this reason that after the disappearance of the Jin State, the Chu State became the overlord state at that time.

Due to the central location of the Wei state, Wei Wenhou became the first monarch of the Warring States to implement the reform of the law. He used Zhai Huang as a phase to reform maladministration; Use Le Yang as a general to attack Zhongshan and expand its territory; He also used Li Kui to change the law and govern the country according to law. Slowly, the state of Wei became stronger.

By the time of King Hui of Wei, Wei had become the new overlord.

Wei is a new type of vassal state, so! There were not many hereditary nobles in the Wei State. But? It's not easy to move them. Among them, many of them are former heroes, and more are relatives of the emperor. To be honest, it's not good to move anyone.

After listening to the narration of King Wei Hui, Zhuangzi was also embarrassed.

Right now! The most important thing is that many of them are still officials in the court.

"Alas!" King Wei Hui thought about it, and finally said: "You can only move those who don't work hard!" If they don't move, they will also decline. This is a bunch of waste, living on their ancestors. ā€

And these people are often the hardest people to talk to.

Because! They rely on the fiefdom of their ancestors to eat, and if you move them, they will shout, and they will take the ancestors out to talk about things. said that if there was no their ancestors, what would have happened to them, there would be no Wei State today, and so on. And what about themselves? It doesn't work at all, so they live by collecting taxes and living a rotten and corrupt life.

And those who are officials in the court, they are much easier to say. Every time they go to war, they contribute money and effort. So! King Wei Hui had no reason to move them. But? If you want to rewrite the sub-sealing system and the national tax interest rate, they must be involved.

After a night of negotiations, King Wei Hui finally had his own idea.

Change is about change! The tax rate is subject to adjustment. For these hereditary nobles who do not want to make progress, they still have to move. Because! These people are scum! If they are moved, they can't do anything, they can't set off any big storms.

If you don't move them, the Wei Kingdom will decline, and the other vassal states will become stronger, and they will also decline. You can't drag down the Wei State because of them.

Nima Di! Labor and management are working hard in the front, but you are eating the food of your ancestors in the back? If it goes on like this, there will be only hereditary aristocrats left in this world who eat, drink and have fun, and there will be no people. But have you thought about it? Without the hard work of the people, where would you hereditary nobles eat, drink, and be merry?

Pie in the sky?

Wealth is created by the people.

Thought that if the ancestors laid down the country, they would be able to enjoy the glory and wealth of their descendants for generations? Someone else is a fool? Just let you sit and enjoy the glory and wealth? Cattle and horses for you? They are not the same to fight the country?

The blessings of our ancestors are limited! If future generations want to get something for nothing, they have to work hard in the first half of their lives. Work hard in the first half of your life, and enjoy the fruits of your labor in the second half.

The next day, King Wei Hui did not go to the early dynasty, but specially set up a banquet to entertain Zhuangzi.

After the banquet, Zhuangzi got up and said goodbye.

King Wei Hui knew that Zhuangzi did not want to be an official in Wei, so he did not keep him. Now that he knows what to do, it doesn't matter if he wants Zhuangzi or not. He asked the eunuch to prepare a cart of gifts for Zhuangzi, in addition to gold, silver and jade, as well as brocade silk, food and the like.

Seeing this, Zhuangzi shook his head and refused.

When the eunuch saw Zhuangzi's refusal, he was so anxious that he cried.

"If the king had known, he would have punished the minions! Woowoo woo ......"

Seeing that the eunuch was embarrassed, Zhuangzi only accepted the silver, and nothing else.

Because! The silver will be used later, but the gold is too valuable, and it is not easy to use it, and it is easy to attract thieves. Jade is the stuff of the upper class, and it is not something that he can afford as a commoner. And the brocade silk and the like are too expensive to be consumed by him.

As for the others, it is inconvenient to bring them, so they can only give up.

Zhuangzi didn't want to take the carriage of Wei back to Song, that would be too ostentatious, and it would not only attract the attention of the thief, but also the king of Song.

He just wanted to go back quietly, unaware.

Now he has given up his plan to go to Chu to find his son. Because! The mother Dai Liu'er feathered and soared, and there was no one at home to protect the seller and her children. So! He had to stay and live honestly at home.

Looking for a son is to be found, and you can only use your clone to find it.

"Are there any silk threads and embroidered handkerchiefs?" Zhuangzi asked.

The eunuch stopped crying, thought about it, shook his head and said, "No! ā€

"Then you prepare me a box of silk threads and embroidered handkerchiefs for the court, and I don't want anything else!" So you're okay with that, right? After receiving the money, Zhuangzi asked the eunuch.

"What do you want silk threads and embroidered handkerchiefs for?" The eunuch asked, puzzled.

"My wife can embroider! The craftsmanship is good, and it can be compared with the embroidery girls in the court. ā€

"Oh?" Only then did the eunuch understand.

Forthwith! I went to prepare a box of silk threads and embroidered handkerchiefs for Zhuangzi.

Zhuangzi collected the silk thread and embroidered handkerchief, and rode out of the capital in a carriage. got out of the car and took the taxi back to the palace, and then he disappeared on the spot, and returned to his hometown in Song Guomeng County from the capital of Wei State in a single thought.

For this trip to Wei, Zhuangzi was satisfied.

Regardless of whether King Wei Hui acted according to the plan or not, eradicated the cancer, and attacked the hereditary nobles of Wei, he felt that King Wei Hui still had foresight and self-knowledge. He can realize the disadvantages of the sub-sealing system and the essence of things, which means that this person's IQ is still okay.

The chaos of society and the chaos of the Great Zhou Dynasty have a lot to do with this feudal system and this hereditary aristocracy. If you think that as long as you lay down the country, you can enjoy the glory and wealth of your children and grandchildren? So! Everybody does that. All go to fight the country, seize the throne, and then! Children and grandchildren will be able to sit back and enjoy the benefits. So! Will there be a time when this society will be stable?

If this kind of thinking and concept is not removed, mankind will never have a peaceful day. People who live at the bottom will always think about rebellion.

So! If there is a mistake in the outlook on life, the world, and the cosmology, mankind will only repeat yesterday's story forever.

No matter what King Wei Hui did in the future, as long as King Wei Hui realized this, Zhuangzi was happy. As a Taoist! As a Taoist inheritor, the greatest satisfaction is nothing more than this, which can make a person recognize the essence of things, the essence of society, and the essence of people.

Although King Wei Hui realized this for the sake of his own Wei State and his own throne, it was a kind of ideological progress after all.

We can't save this society, we can't save the world, but we can save ourselves. If we have that ability, we can save the people around us, and save the people who have contact with us. This is preaching, too!

Uncle Liezi is nothing more than that! He thinks he has no talent for himself and that he can only take care of his loved ones. So! He guarded his relatives all his life in obscurity.

He has nothing to feat, but! He became himself again, he became the son of others, the father of others, the husband of others, the neighbor of others......

More importantly, his life did not affect the survival of others, and the way others lived did not affect his survival.

Life! That's it!

Live to the end of our lives and complete the process of our lives as human beings this time!
