Chapter IV Cabinet Meetings
After staring at the young master for a while, Zhou Bian still couldn't understand it, so he didn't care about him anymore, and said to everyone present, "Everyone, it is inconvenient to discuss matters at the Imperial Meeting, so I specially summoned you." www.biquge.info Seeing that the great powers are now strife, the big countries are getting stronger, and the small countries are difficult to protect, and my Zhou family has been decaying to this day, this king does not want to humiliate the previous king and underground, I hope you will teach me, but if there is any strategy to strengthen the country and enrich the people, but it is okay, this king is here to thank you. In fact, Zhou Bian felt that this king felt better than the widow.
After everyone humbled and conceded, they decided to talk about the order of position, first the Taishi.
"The king, I think that when the ancestor of my royal family, King Wen, was in power, he encouraged production, respected the old and loved the young, was thirsty for talent, and worked diligently day and night.
Everyone applauded, and Zhou Bian had no choice but to nod, this is just an old opinion, saying it is equivalent to not saying it, but what he said is very reasonable. Sure enough, there were a few other people who agreed, but their faces showed disapproval.
Then there is the young master. "King, the old man thinks that my Zhou family is declining, the reason is that Zhou Zheng actually lost the upper hand in the war, and since then the princes have been disrespectful, but I know that if my Zhou room has a male army, the princes dare not underestimate me. The old man also observed the king's training a few days ago, quite a few gains, feel that the king's law is very wonderful, in Mengjin had this method of training, just effective was broken by the Korean soldiers, I hope the king will train the army, and recruit troops, a strong country must first strengthen the army! ”
Zhou Bian nodded when he heard this, power came out of the barrel of a gun, and this truth is applicable everywhere. Unexpectedly, the young master next to the young master did not agree, and as soon as the young master's voice fell, he grabbed it loudly, "I think that the young master's view is wrong, and the strong army is the last rule, the king should be convinced by virtue, and the king of Xianping is not virtuous, so the big sword soldiers were unexpectedly humiliated by Zheng, not because of the soldiers, but the virtue is insufficient." The sword soldier must not be taken up without permission, Wang De cannot afford to lose, this is the old man's opinion. ”
Zhou Bian nodded slightly, although he didn't care about it in his heart, he didn't dare to show it on his face.
The next one is Tsukasa Zai Cai, he said slowly, "The old man also thinks that the young master is right, may my king respect the heavens and worship the first king diligently." Zhou Bian had to ignore this and turned his gaze to Sima Tu.
"The king, Weichen agrees with the young master's words, and is willing to train an elite army for the king."
Si Kou Liu was not happy when he heard this, and said to Sima Tu, "What kind of elite soldiers can Master Sima train, you can know that my royal family guards are the most unbearable, and most of the bullying and domination in the market are guards, and your lord only needs to take care of your guards." ”
Sima Tu's face was embarrassed when he heard this, and he was just about to say something to argue, but he heard a light cough from the Taishi, so he had to give up, and raised his eyes and secretly looked at Zhou Bian, and was relieved to see that there was no different color. Si Kou Liu snorted and continued, "King, I don't have any opinions or ideas, I just want to take care of this piece of land for the King." ”
Zhou Bian couldn't help but praise, "If you can do your duty like Lord Si Kou, why worry about my Zhou room not being happy." ”
Sikong Shen didn't have anything to say, so it was the turn of the doctor to write a single article, which was held back for a long time, and he had already endured it. "The king did not expel me with the power of my Shan clan, and Weichen was not very grateful. Presumably, the king knew that only Wei was the strongest among the current countries, and the reason was that Wei Wenhou took Li Yan as his prime minister and Wu Qi as his general. Both of them are people who have changed the law and strengthened their soldiers. Let's talk about changing the law first, Li Yan established the legal system and emphasized military merits, and acted correctly for the people, so no one dared to invade the small people, and treated the small people well, so that they could rely on them regardless of the harvest and disaster, so the people of the world came to Wei one after another, and they were willing to die for Wei. May my king change the royal system into a legal system, promulgating a new law, Weichen thinks that there are three new laws, one is the land law, so that the land belongs to its cultivators, and my royal family collects taxes according to the regulations, which is created by the three Huan of the Lu State, which is quite effective; The second is the household registration law, which compiles the household registration for the people of our Zhou room and conscripts soldiers according to households, so that people above the household registration dare not run away or evade taxes without permission, and ensure the source of soldiers; The third is the military merit system, the king can reward those who have made meritorious contributions, not based on their background, so that the soldiers dare to serve their lives. These three methods are what I have summed up the gains of the great powers, and I hope that the king will consider them. ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, the young master jumped out again, "The old man thinks otherwise, the benefits obtained are less than ten times, it is not enough to change the law, and the change of the law involves a lot of things, my Zhou room is already weak, if the change is too big, I am afraid that I can't afford it, I hope my king will take care of it." Then he sat down.
Shan Wen just smiled and didn't argue, thinking that in front of the powerful Xiantai Bao clan, he had no habit of arguing. "Your Majesty, what Fang Cai Weichen said is only for the king's consideration. Just said that the law is changing, now it is said that the strong soldiers, Wei Chen thinks, the way of training the army is the first in the strong soldiers, Wu Qi for Wei Wenhou to train the world's famous Wei Wu pawn, still deterring the Quartet, Wei Wu pawn is a selection of strong people, carrying dozens of catties of armor and can travel hundreds of miles a day, the strong place amazes the countries, the army is strong, the natural invincible, my king's training of the army Wei Chen also has some concern, stealing that the queue is the last section, strong soldiers is the first way, hope that the king is clear. ”
These Zhou Bian naturally also know, the queue mainly practices discipline and formation, which is also advocated by the grandson of the art of war, no matter how strong a single soldier is, it is only ten enemies, if it is a plate of loose sand, ten single soldiers are simply no match for ten well-trained and well-coordinated teams. Of course, this does not mean that individual skills are not valued, but they should go hand in hand.
Under the single text is Liu Zixi, the person valued by the first king, but unfortunately it was not reused. "King, among the nations, the Wei State uses Li Slang as the phase change method, so it is at the head of the powers, and although the Chu State is thousands of miles away, it only changes half of the Wu Qi change method, so it is always not as good as the Wei State, and then the Qi State, the Tian family changed the law and got the position of the Qi State, and then South Korea, now Han Jun is seeking the world's talents and wants to change the law, so I think my Great Zhou should be the same."
"Phew!" Liu Zixi's voice did not fall, but he was interrupted by this loud shout, and everyone looked for the voice, and it was the young master again.
"The king, don't learn the way of my great Zhou ancestor Wang Xianming, and go to change the law of the ancestors, although it is strong for a while, it is not the royal road, the ancestors have knowledge underground, and they will definitely be displeased, and I hope that my king will see it." The young master has always opposed the change of law.
"If you are poor, you will think about change, and if you change, you will understand, and the law of our ancestors has not existed since ancient times." Liu Zixi was young and vigorous, and immediately argued.
Unexpectedly, the young master was even more excited, rolled up his sleeves and dipped it, "The tree of ten thousand feet, its roots are particularly deep, if you move it at will, you will definitely die." I have been ruling the country with etiquette for 500 years, how can I say that change will change, if something goes wrong, can you bear the consequences? ”
Liu Zixi was naturally not to be outdone, and immediately fought back, and suddenly the two sides quarreled, Tsukasa Zai was against the change, and Shan Wen naturally formed a line with Liu Zi. Although the rest of the people did not express their position, they also talked about it, and the room immediately became a mess.
Obviously, Liu Zixi blushed and had a thick neck, thinking that it was probably because the young master didn't let him finish his words, and he was resentful. Zhou Bian saw that there was a quarrel in the house, this was like a minister's deliberation, it was clearly a group of vegetable sellers. In desperation, I had to stand up and shout loudly, but the voice was small, but no one heard, did I want to drop things again? Fortunately, if you hold your stomach, let them go, but this ancient person is too easy to fight.
After a long time, the quarrel quieted down, both sides were angry, thinking that there was no result in the dispute, and when people said they were tired, they naturally stopped arguing when they had no strength. Zhou Bian shouted again to be quiet, and only then did the situation ease down.
"You are all loyal and patriotic, but the way you choose is different, but the king is very moved by the patriotic heart." There is no one who does not nod his head. "Whether to change the law or not, this king will not express his opinion, this issue should be put aside for a while, and it will not be too late to talk about it after the beginning of the year. Doctor Man, the Taishi has praised you in front of this king several times, what do you have to say to this king, don't change the law anymore? The last sentence turned to the penultimate person Wang Sunman and said.
Wang Sun Man respectfully raised his hand and saluted back, "My lord, my thoughts are indeed different from those of the few adults. Now the scene of my Zhou room is delicate, Luoyang in the west and Yique in the south are in the hands of the Duke of the Western Zhou, Gongyi in the east and Mengjin in the north belong to the East Zhou Jun, and now my royal family has a bad relationship with the two Zhou dukes, the first Zhou duke still respects my king and supports the royal family, but now even the first king died and the king ascended the throne did not come, my royal family is surrounded by these two Zhou dukes, it is like being in the cracks, it is difficult to do it before and after, and it is difficult to do a certain thought that the form is worrying. ”
Zhou Bian was amazed when he heard it, and he couldn't help but sit up straighter, what Wang Sunman said was very close to what he thought, so he didn't say anything about changing the law or about strengthening the army. It's just that he is a modern person, and an ancient person can have this wisdom, which should not be underestimated. Zhou Bian hurriedly motioned for Wang Sunman to continue.
"I think that the relationship between the two Zhou dukes is like fire and water, and my royal family can only choose one of them. I thought it was still the Duke of the Western Zhou, and if the Duke of the Western Zhou attacked the Duke of the Eastern Zhou, then my royal family could occupy Gongyi. "In the past, some people proposed that the two sons support one of them to obtain the greatest benefits, and now I think about it at that time, it was Wang Sunman who mentioned it, but it is a pity that he was interrupted by the Han soldiers just to support the Western Zhou Dynasty, and then because he was afraid that the city of Chengzhou would be broken by the Han soldiers, and the prince was locked outside the city, I think he still has some complaints in his heart now.
"And the Eastern Zhou public has the support of South Korea, which is the biggest problem. A certain is willing to send an envoy to Wei on behalf of the king, persuade the Marquis of Wei with a powerful relationship, or do what he likes, and try his best to make him support our royal family, and as long as the Marquis of Wei puts pressure on South Korea, Korea will not have to worry about it. Let my king examine it carefully. ”
Zhou Bian couldn't help but cheer secretly in his heart when he heard it, a good move to take advantage of the situation, at this time the countries are in dispute, countries or alliances with interests, or invasion because of interests, and the real history of the late Warring States period is not the stage of the Zonghengjia, all lobbyists come and go between the countries, a word can be worth ten thousand teachers, a word can get ten cities, this history has been praised by later generations. It's just that there are still some years left before the era when the Zongheng family shines, and I don't know if the most famous Su Qin and Zhang Yi were born at this time.
Hearing Wang Sunman's words, the rest of the people also bowed their heads and pondered, presumably they were also very touched, opening a new door for them.
