The gate of the Xi family city was wide open, and before the Qin army entered the city, the remaining descendants of the Xi family in the city had been swept away; Those children of the side line have long looked at these descendants unpleasantly, in the past, everyone had to fight the enemy side by side, but now that Syald and Bai Dong have an agreement, what are you waiting for? They sharpened their butcher knives early.

Seeing the heads of people from the city gate all the way to the Xi Clan's palace room, even Wei Ying felt a little chilled in his heart, and glanced at Child: "You killed all these people?" ”

Syed smiled and gave Wei Ying a light salute: "If you don't kill it, you can't do it, they will prevent me from opening the city and returning to Daqin, presumably Zuo Shu Chang won't care, right?" ”

Wei Ying pursed his lips slightly, but did not say anything. This young man is brave and ruthless, and now he has become Bai Dong's student, it is better to be friends with him than to be an enemy, obviously he was robbed of the limelight, and he had to praise others for doing a good job, but he still ordered these children of the Xi family and the slaves who participated in the rebellion to be temporarily detained.

Of course, he knew the outcome of Bai Dong's negotiations with Syald, but he could exercise the power of the chief general before the king's order was issued, and no one could say anything. As for Silde, although he has been the leader of the 'rebels' for a few days, he has contributed to the city, and now he is a disciple of Bai Dong, and he is from a low background in the Xi family, and he is a descendant of a female slave. Wei Ying is a smart person, so naturally he will not catch Bai Dong's newly accepted 'love apprentice'.

When the rebellion of the three families of Mengxi and Bai was put down, the Meng family was naturally uprooted, half of the land was confiscated by the state, and half was rewarded to the Bai family, who had made great contributions to this rebellion, and the slaves of the Meng family and the Bai family became free peasants and could rent the land of the 'emerging landlord class' such as the Guofu or the Bai family as needed. It is conceivable that there will be a good harvest near Yongyi this autumn.

The land of the western family was temporarily nationalized. What to do with these children of the side branches of the Western family. It also depends on what kind of idea Yingquliang is. In Wei Ying's view, Yingquliang may not obey Bai Dong in everything, after all, the Xi family is involved in the rebellion, there is no reason for the Meng family to destroy the nine clans but only remove the descendants of the Xi family. After all, Yingquliang is a short day, and it is not as deep-rooted as the old win.

How can it be enough for only the Meng family to be tortured by the Weishui River? With the addition of these Ponzi children of the West Family, it can only exceed 20,000! The thought that he would behead 20,000 dead criminals at the same time made Wei Ying inexplicably excited. He has been waiting for this day for too long, on the day when Weishui is dyed red, Zuo Shuchang's name will be louder than 'Baizi', and only at this moment will the Qin State change really begin!

patted Child's shoulder and asked him to take his luggage and follow Nie Zhuxian to report to the academy, Bai Dong glanced at Wei Ying with the rest of his eyes, no matter how he suppressed and tried to persuade him, a beast is a beast, and now this old Qin's beast is about to go out. It's the biggest irony that I'm also the one who opened the floodgates.

"Wei Ying insisted on razing the three clans of the Xi clan. Otherwise, it will make the law unfair, the world boiling, and it is not conducive to the implementation of the new law. The widow thought that what he said was not unreasonable, but he didn't understand why you had to ask for the life of the Xi family, just for that genius boy Child? ”

Yingquliang poured a cup of tea for Bai Dong with his own hands, and there was some playfulness in his eyes. Bai Dong negotiated with the West family as an overseer this time, and asked for the traitor of the West family for his life, which would inevitably give him the illusion that Bai Dong was deliberately suppressing Wei Ying's prestige, and in the name of supporting the new law, he was actually setting up obstacles for changing the law, which was the last thing he wanted to see.

"Changing the law is not the same as killing people, after all, the king is the first person in Lao Qin, you have the right of amnesty, why do you have to kill so many people?"

Bai Dong sighed slightly, his analysis of Yingquliang was really not wrong, this monarch of filial piety and righteousness is one thing the same as Wei Ying, his murderous intention is too great! Perhaps he had the same idea as Wei Ying, thinking that Meng Xibai's blatant disobedience to the new law and not killing was not enough to establish his authority, but unfortunately he was as smart as Yingquliang, and he still didn't see the backlash that would come from killing too much.

Even in front of Yingqu Liang, the Qin State encountered great resistance to change the law, and this resistance came from Wei Ying's excessive killing. The world says that Wei Ying's 20-year change made Qin strong, but in fact, this is not the case, after Wei Ying's successful change, Lao Qin's only beautiful battle was to completely annihilate the army of Wei Gongzi Ang, and recover the homeland of Hexi, but even the victory of this battle relied on Wei Ying's disgraceful means.

And after this battle, the Qin State had no intention of expanding its territory, and it was necessary to wait until Xiao Yingsi grew up, and then appointed Sima to take the land of Bashu, and the Qin State began to be a strong country.

Therefore, Wei Ying's success did not really fundamentally enhance the national strength of the old Qin, but only erected a new law in his lifetime, so that this new law, which is essentially a 'strong country and weak people', after decades of operation and development, accumulated the strong Qin of later generations, and finally produced a qualitative change when he was in power, and leveled the world in one fell swoop. But it is precisely because the new law was too 'mean and ruthless' from the beginning that the Qin State will quickly perish, and Zhao Gao and Qin II are just the last straw that crushes the camel's back, and the culprit of the destruction of the Qin State is still 'too strict in the law and wanton killing'!

If it weren't for the fear of Yingquliang's rebound, Bai Dong would even oppose the extermination of the nine clans of the Meng family. What are the Nine Tribes? The father is four, the mother is three, and the wife is two! An order to exterminate the nine clans was passed down, and the clansmen of Meng Shuangcheng's wife and the clansmen of his son's wife were all among the killings! In the eyes of Bai Dong, who was a lawyer in later generations, this is simply an extremely brutal and extremely backward law. But he won't be stupid enough to jump out and sing against Yingqu Liang, the Meng family is difficult to save, and the Xi family must work hard.

There are two stages of Wei Ying's reform, this stage is still from rewarding military merits and abandoning well fields, which basically will not involve the interests of the people, and even if it encounters resistance, it will not affect the overall situation. However, because of the appearance of Bai Dong, history has begun to be slightly affected, and Wei Ying's first change has been a year and a half earlier than recorded in history, and the second change may not be delayed until more than ten years later, maybe a few years later, the second change plan will be proposed. Bai Dong knows better than anyone that the second change clause that really caused shock in the government and the opposition will challenge the customs that the old Qin people have been following for hundreds of years.

Therefore, it is necessary to properly suppress Wei Ying now, and at the same time warn Yingqu Liang, otherwise once he is killed by this pair of monarchs and ministers, I don't know how many heads will fall to the ground in the future. Even if it is not for Syalde, in the matter of the West Family, Bai Dong must strive for it.

"There are 30,000 people in Yongyi Jingqi, most of them are from the three families of Mengxi and Bai, and the other half have no family affiliation, but they are quite recognized by the three families of Mengxi and Bai; Now that the Meng family will be exterminated by the nine clans, if even the Xi family is to be razed to the three clans, they will only be cold to Lao Qin. Yes, the Meng family's Western family is a rebellion, and it should indeed be killed, but the Western family is different from the Meng family, only from Silk's appearance, can't the king still see that the slaves of the Western family have feelings for the master's family? Faced with the temptation to become free peasants and fields, they were still willing to resist the king's orders for the sake of the Western Family, which can be seen. ”

"Are you worried about the more than 10,000 slaves of the West Family?" Ying Quliang raised his eyebrows, seemingly a little disapproving.

"These more than 10,000 slaves are nothing, the king can order the complete destruction of a century-old family like the Meng family, how can he care about these slaves? But don't forget the slogan of the new law, abolishing well fields, rewarding farming, and eliminating slavery, which is the legislative foundation of the new law, how can the king not care about these slaves? ”

Bai Dong patiently persuaded Yingquliang: "Your Majesty has also calculated an account, not counting those who died in the battle, just the nine clans of the Meng family, the number of people has exceeded 10,000, if you add the Xi family, Weishui will really become a slaughterhouse!" Wei Ying, the minister of law change, will make the world frightened, and then the people of the world are afraid that they only know that there is a law of the left chief, but this law is not from the king."

This passage is a heart-wrenching word, very similar to the means used by the traitorous ministers of later generations to frame Zhongliang, but Bai Dong must say it. One killing of more than 10,000 people is certainly unimaginable in later generations, and even in this era, it is extremely amazing! If you can save some, it's some, and more importantly, suppress Wei Ying, and don't let him become crazy prematurely! The Shang Jun of later generations is really crazy, in fact, with his merits, even if there is a prince who is piously framed, dissatisfied with Win, and the world is said to be killable, it may not end up with the tragic result of splitting the corpse of five horses, it is precisely because he dared to raise troops to resist the Qin State that he was added to the crime. In the future, isn't that crazy merchant king from 'blood-stained Weishui' to begin to transform?

"The world only knows that there is a law for the left chief, but it doesn't know the law for widows"

Yingquliang fell into deep thought, and said in a slight mutter: "What the fourth brother said is not unreasonable, but if you only punish the descendants of the Xi family, it will inevitably be too cheap for the Xi family." ”

"Wouldn't it be nice to deprive them of their fields and titles, and to let them be incorporated into the new army to strengthen our country, and those who are willing to work as farmers can let them rent land for the state government?"

Bai Dong chuckled: "And Syard's experience made Weichen think of a way to make Lao Qin grow rapidly, speaking of which, this can be regarded as the inspiration he brought to Weichen, and it can also be regarded as a contribution to Lao Qin. ”

"As I said a long time ago, as long as it is not in the court, you and I should be commensurate with brothers. My good fourth brother, what earth-shattering method have you come up with? Letting Lao Qin grow rapidly is not something that can be done by just talking? ”

Ying Quliang's eyes lit up. It is not easy for him to be a monarch, and every day he thinks about how to make Lao Qin grow rapidly; However, the old Qin land is sparsely populated and weak for too long, even if there is a genius like Bai Dong and a talent like Wei Ying, it will take more than ten or twenty years to become a strong country in the world, I am afraid that it will take fifty or sixty years to really be like Bai Dong said, but what he hopes is to see the Qin State become strong in his lifetime.

"The strength of a country lies in its laws, culture, and economic development. But the foundation of a strong country lies in manpower! The younger brother thought that if he wanted to rapidly expand the Qin State, he should start with the number of households."

"Although it is reasonable, how can I quickly increase the population of my old Qin?"

Yingquliang has thought about this problem for a long time, and there is basically no solution.
