In Kang's father's city, Gongzi Hua, the commander of the Qin army, warmly received the merchants who helped him lead the way. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Qin army blitzed the Qi country thousands of miles away, and even broke Kang's father and Juye, which had already shocked the eastern countries! However, Gongzihua himself knew that he was able to do this, although most of the reason was that the Qin army itself was excellent and fast like the wind, and the merchants also contributed a lot to the Qin army, which allowed the Qin army to come and go freely in this foreign land.
"Everyone, at present, Juye and Kang's father are in the hands of my Qin army. In order to thank you for your help to our Qin State, our army will never stop your trade exchanges on Jishui! Gongzihua promised to all the merchants present.
After listening to Gongzihua's declaration, the businessmen were all overjoyed. It's great for them to be able to get such a promise!
Although the state of Qin was the state of Zhou Tianzi himself, in the eyes of the Chinese states, the state of Qin was actually no different from the barbarian states of Chu, Wu, and Yue. Even in the eyes of some people, the status of the Qin State is worse than that of these countries!
For the barbarian state, the impression of the Chinese countries is not very good. Not paying attention to faithfulness, not abiding by etiquette and law, and being brave and ruthless are the general impressions of the Chinese countries on the barbarian state, and the impression left by the Qin State is actually even more unbearable!
In the West, the Qin State was at war with Rong Di for a long time, and the war between the two sides was extremely cruel, so the Qin State was also stained with Rong Di's custom in the war: killing prisoners. And when the Qin State turned to the east to dominate the world, it did not change such an act at all, which was the most intolerable to the Chinese countries!
When the State of Chu was in the south, it was ruthless to kill those barbarians and prisoners! But when the Chu State went north to fight for hegemony, they also honestly abided by the rules and regulations of Huaxia, while the Qin State never obeyed these entries! Therefore, when the relationship between the Jin State and the Qin State gradually deteriorated, and after the Jin State submitted the letter of absolute Qin to the Qin State, the alliance between the Chinese countries will no longer play with the Qin State!
In the past, the Qin State was either suppressed by the Jin State or crushed by the Wei State that rose later, and the power has been staying in the west of the Kunshan Mountain, and the countries under the world have not paid too much attention to it. This has led to the fact that the Qin State has been marginalized by various countries.
However, after the rise of the Qin State with an extremely strong posture, it immediately attracted the attention of all the countries in the world.
All countries want to see, what kind of country is the Qin State today?
However, all countries are extremely disappointed in this, a country that kills tens of thousands of soldiers at every turn, this can no longer be described as cruel! The Chinese countries call Qin "the country of tigers and wolves", most of them are actually expressing everyone's extreme disappointment with the current Qin State and the hidden fear behind it.
The merchants were willing to lead the way for the Qin state, and in addition to the Wei state exerting pressure behind them, most of them were actually driven by interests. And now that the Qin army controls the important trade routes in Jishui, if the Qin army does not let the merchants pass, the status of the merchants is low, and there is actually nothing to be done about it.
Since Qin Jun is willing to let go of business, everyone doesn't mind saying a few good words, and everyone will praise Qin Jun more. So the merchants who followed were all amazed by Gongzi Hua and showed loyalty to the Qin army.
As soon as Gongzihua saw him let go of the passage, he was praised by the merchants, and his mood instantly improved.
Gongzihua was willing to do this, but it wasn't that he liked businessmen. In fact, in a country where farming and warfare were practiced and merchants were almost cut off, he did not have the slightest affection for merchants. However, he was willing to do so entirely because of his brother's instructions to improve the impression of Qin among the nations!
The title of "Country of Tigers and Wolves" has now reached the ears of King Qin, and King Qin does not want to bear the notoriety of a "King of Tigers and Wolves".
Then he asked the merchants present: "Dare to ask you, I don't know what sages have appeared in the places occupied by our army?" ”
After the merchants present looked at each other, one of the merchants who had led the way for the Qin army stood up and said, "General Qiyu, if you want to say that there has been a sage here, it is none other than Yanagi Hui!" ”
Gongzihua was extremely interested in this, and he immediately asked, "What are the deeds of Yanagi Hui that can be regarded as a virtuous person?" ”
The merchant replied: "Yanagishita Hui was originally a nobleman of the Lu State more than two hundred years ago, and he was the secretary of the Lu State. He was just and insisted on serving the king in a straight way, so he was an official three times and dismissed three times. However, he has always been pampered and not surprised, and he is at peace with what he encounters.
The monarch that Yanagishita served was not virtuous, but he was never ashamed to serve a bad monarch, nor was he humbled by his low official position. Because he has been doing the right thing in the country of Lu, when he finally dismissed the official for Lu Jun, someone persuaded him to leave the country of Lu and go to another country to seek a job. However, Yanagishita Megumi refused, in his opinion, if he used various means to gain status with a distorted mind and obtain fame and wealth for the purpose of gaining fame and wealth, then why did he leave the state of his parents? If he wants to be on top and cater to others, he can do the same in Lu State! Why go to another country? It's just that he doesn't want to do that.
Megumi Yanagishita's character is so noble that when he is abandoned, he never resents it; When he was in poverty, he never grieved. ”
And another merchant also added: "This gentleman is right, Yanagishita Huizhi is a sage known to all nations!" And that's pretty good at what he did.
In the past, Yanashita Megumi once stayed under the city gate on a winter night, and saw a homeless beautiful woman, fearing that the woman would freeze to death, so he let the woman sit in his arms, untie his coat and wrap the woman tightly. The two sat together all night, and Megumi Yanagishita didn't take the opportunity to insult the woman!
Who in the world can do such a disorderly behavior? From this, it can be seen that Megumi Yanagishita is a real righteous gentleman! ”
Gongzihua also admired him when he heard that there could be such a righteous and upright person outside the Qin State.
Perhaps in later generations, some people will ridicule Yanagishita Megumi for not being chaotic, but hypocritical benevolence and false righteousness, or sexual impotence, etc. However, in today's era, everyone admires people who can do this kind of behavior!
The people of the Warring States Period, although they pursued profit, did not wear so many colored glasses, nor did they have as many dark thoughts as later generations. In their opinion, Megumi Yanagishita's behavior is pure saving people! And when he saves people, he can restrain his desires, without any distractions, and does not do anything to take advantage of others' danger, if such a person is not called a person with high morals, then no one in the world is worthy of the words "high morality"!
In the Warring States Period, when the whole world was ruined, and the atmosphere of profit-seeking became stronger and stronger, everyone had great respect for those virtuous and virtuous people. This is actually the atmosphere of this era, and the later four sons of the Warring States period were able to drive thousands of guests for their own use, among which the four sons were morally noble and absolutely accounted for a great reason.
Gongzihua is naturally extremely respectful of people with real high morals! What's more, since he wanted to improve the impression of the Qin State in front of the Heavenly Kingdom, he naturally had to express his stance on the sages!
He asked the merchants about the location of Megumi Yanagishita's grave and declared that he would go to pay homage to the sage himself!
Later, in front of all the merchants, he summoned the military judges of the Qin army and issued an order: "Order the whole army, if anyone dares to collect firewood within fifty steps of Liuxia Hui's grave, he will be beheaded immediately!" ”
When the merchants saw such a scene, everyone looked at each other. In the end, a businessman was clever and said to Gongzihua: "The general is so well aware of righteousness, so it can be seen that the Qin army is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and I admire it!" ”
Businessmen are smart-minded and well-informed. Regarding Gongzihua's behavior, most people actually guessed that it was Qin who wanted to improve its unfavorable image among countries.
However, since the Qin army was willing to respect the sages so much, then they naturally would not harass the countries along the way at will. Therefore, for their own interests, these merchants wantonly publicized the strict military appearance of the Qin army, strict military discipline, and the commander's respect for Yanagi Hui.
So in just a few days, the entire Jishui line knew that the famous Qin army was a "benevolent and righteous army".
In addition, the Qin army did not harass Kang's father and the common people of Juye at all, so the common people of Liangyi did not have the slightest dissatisfaction with the entry of the Qin army, nor did they have the slightest resistance.
The back road of the Qin army suddenly became extremely stable!
