Warring States period

Seven Heroes Compete for Supremacy

Qi Chuyan, Han Zhao, Wei Qin

Each has its own unique differences

Countries are also intertwined

In the next section

I'll start by telling the story by country

When there is an intersection between countries

Try to be one country as the main line

Give everyone a clear pattern of the Warring States

The Warring States Beacon smoked

The heroes are busy

The first to take the lead

I am the king of Wei

Wei Wenhou, the founding monarch of Wei

A wise monarch

Well aware of national development

It's about talent

He recruited the best talents from all over the world under his command

Corporal Lixian knows people well

He is the first person who has made great contributions to the Wei State

There was a man named Duan Ganmu in the Wei Kingdom

This man has a big vision

Knowledgeable

Fame

But

Light wealth and arrogance princes

I like to live a detached and free and easy life of seclusion

It's not hidden in the deep mountains and old forests to farm and hunt

It's not hidden in the shores of lakes and seas to catch shrimp

Instead, it is tucked away in a secluded alley

Do a little business to make ends meet

Wei Wenhou heard of Duan Ganmu's name

I just want to see each other

Ask for advice on how to govern the country

The Law of Anbang

To show good faith

Wei Wenhou personally took the car to visit Duan Ganmu's house

Unexpectedly, Duan Ganmu heard the sound of cars and horses at the door

actually made a move over the wall

Escaped

Wei Wenhou ate a wall and closed the door

I had to go home

Mingjun is to have the style of Mingjun

Wei Wenhou attempted a visit

And then came a second time

The third and fourth time

But Duan Ganmu is still very persistent

Maintain good consistency

It's just gone

Wei Wenhou is a little out of tricks

But I was unwilling

Just every time I go out

No matter where you go

Even if it's to go to Miyaguchi to buy something

It is also necessary to let the car go around from the door of Duan Ganmu's house

Then go back to the palace gate to buy things and go home

Every time you pass by the door of Duan Ganmu

And stand up in a way

Holding on to the carriage's railing

Stand and look up

Show your respect for Duanmugan

It's been a long time

The coachman was a little unhappy

king

You love the scenery of this alley

I'm okay with that

Walk more

That's as it should be

But you stand at that guy's door every time and salute

It's too much

Moreover

You're going one trip at a time

Everyone knows what you mean

He won't see you

It's that he doesn't know how to lift

Such people

Why be so polite to him

Wei Wenhou shook his head

You don't know

Mr. Duan Ganmu is not an ordinary person

He does not tend to be inflammatory, and covets wealth

Virtuous and knowledgeable

Such people

I'm just going to salute a few more times

And as it should be

The coachman was moved by Wei Wenhou's sincerity

king

That's what you say

I'll give you an idea

His family lives in such a remote place

The house is so dilapidated

Every time you come in a gorgeous carriage

No matter how many times you come

He won't feel respected either

You

Not the next time I walked

Maybe he'll see you

Or how to say that the working people are intimate

Or the coachman understands Duanmugan's heart

Wei Wenhou personally walked to Duan Ganmu's house to visit

This time, full of sincerity pushed open the door of the Duan family

Duan Ganmu invited Wei Wenhou into the courtyard

The two of them sat on a small wooden stool and chatted

Mr

I want to make Wei rich

You see what to do

oh

You just have to do this

And so it is

Well

brilliant

Then I want to make Wei ** strong

You see what to do

oh

You just have to do this

And so it is

Let's talk

Wei Wenhou felt a feeling spontaneously

Don't talk about walking

This trip is crawling

It's worth it

Sir

I would like to worship you as a prime minister

Assist me in governing the country

What do you think?

The king is too polite

I'm really not interested in being an official

Xiangguo is exempt

If the king looks up to me

There will be something later

You can come and talk to me

Can help

I try to help

That's it

Wei Wenhou worshipped Duan Ganmu as his teacher

Visit often for advice

This matter soon spread throughout the Wei state

It spread to the vassal states

A lot of talented people

Unambitious masters

They defected to Wei one after another

That's exactly what it is

Corporal Wei Wenhou Lixian

Hike tirelessly

I hope that the world will know

All the sages are in the bag

It's going back and forth

Wei Wenhou has recruited a lot of talents

Li Kui is one of the most important ones

Li Kui is the same as Duanmugan

He is also a disciple of Confucius

Because of the outstanding talent

Appointed as Prime Minister of State

There was a day

Wei Wenhou talked to Li Kui

I want to know how to attract more talent

Li Kui did not answer positively

Asked rhetorically

Lord

What do you think of this hereditary system

How's that?

Wei Wenhou had thought about this question a long time ago

Just answer casually

The hereditary system is passed down from ancestors

The status of the nobility and the fortune

Children and grandchildren can inherit from generation to generation

Can be the descendants of most of the nobility

It's all about eating, drinking, and having fun

You can't do half an inch for the country

The state also has to pay them well

It's a heavy burden on the country

Li Kui saw that Wei Wenhou was on the road

Go on

The lord is so right

The hereditary system is very harmful

But you only said one point

The descendants of these nobles

There is no ability

Also occupy positions

Receive the money

Burdening the country

Just a small aspect

The more serious consequences are:

They stand in the pit and don't

Let talented people not be able to ascend to the top

They take what they should not take

So that those who have the ability can't make money

That's why you're so hungry

It is still the root cause of the lack of talent

Wei Wenhou slapped his head

ah

That's right

So what should I do

What to do

Easy to do

Two words

reform

Li Kui put the reform plan in his chest

Tell Wei Wenhou about it

first

Abolish the right of inheritance of positions and salaries of the nobility

Even if you become a big official

No matter how much you get paid

You're retired

I'm sorry

You want to be an official in the palace

It's up to you

You want to be in the country

I'm sorry

It's up to you to contribute

If you don't have what it takes

Excuse me

Go home and eat your son

The state doesn't support you anymore

second

A person who has now inherited the position of his ancestors and received a salary

Listen up

The state is going to conduct an assessment

Have the ability to do the job now

Continue to stay at the post

Wages are paid

The ability is not enough

I'm sorry

Laid off

third

From now on

Whoever is able

It doesn't matter if you're a nobleman

Or the one who guards the door and herds the horses for the nobles

You can apply

The inspection passed

Employment

Take the state salary

Wei Wenhou was very satisfied

Not a word

The original text was adopted

Tell the world

Effective today

Political reforms were successfully passed

The results are impressive

Li Kui struck the iron hot

A programme of economic reforms was proposed

Li Kui calculated an account for Wei Wenhou

According to the current situation in the Wei State

A family of five

Plant a hundred acres of land

Grain harvested every year

Except to pay taxes to fill the stomach

There are only a few grains of rice left

If there is a wedding or funeral

Act of God**

State apportionment

There will be a disaster of family destruction and death

Ordinary people are not living well

It is definitely not a blessing for the country

For these

The following measures should be taken

first

The state finances the construction of water conservancy

Development of test plots

Improving farming practices to increase food production

second

A good harvest year

The state should purchase grain from the private sector at a parity price

The year of famine

The state wants to sell grain at a parity price

Ensure the most basic living balance of the people

And so on

The common people are living a stable life

The country's tax revenues are also safeguarded

Wei Wenhou likewise approved

Political reform was successful

The results of economic reform are obvious

Energetic Li Kui

Work began on a codification code

It is necessary to put the results of these reforms

Stabilized in the form of law

This is also the contradiction of the reformers

I want to reform the lives of those backward systems

But he wants to continue his system for generations

Li Kui collected and sorted out the criminal codes of various countries

Combined with the actual situation of the country

A collection of feudal laws "The Book of Laws" was born

The specific content is more complicated

I won't go into detail here

Anyway, it was authorized by Wei Wenhou

The Book of Law was promulgated and implemented in the Wei State

Many years later, Shang Ying came to Qin with this code

Based on this, the "Qin Law" was formulated

Later, "Han Law" inherited Qin Law

Li Kui's work

Glorious for a thousand years

Of course, that's all for later

The thing in front of us is

The state of Wei was under the reforms of Li Kui

It soon became stronger

As the saying goes

Is he strong or not

Find an opponent to compete with

Wei Wenhou wanted to use Zhongshan Kingdom as a test

Shangqing Zhai Huang recommended a person

His own doorman is happy with sheep

said that this man is an all-round talent in humanities and martial arts

Good at fighting with soldiers

There was opposition

Because Leyang's son Leshu is an official in Zhongshan State

Father and son are divided into two countries

I am afraid that the sheep will miss the private affairs of their children

Can't do your best

And mistaken Wei State affairs

I've heard that there is such a thing

Wei Wenhou hesitated a little

Then he called the sheep in the palace

Ask in person

Leyang statement

The son of the minister is indeed an official in Zhongshan

He also sent letters many times before, asking his ministers to go to Zhongshan to serve allegiance

I thought that the monarch of Zhongshan was absurd and unreasonable

Tell the dog to leave Zhongshan early

But the dog didn't listen

If the lord allows me to lead an army to attack Zhongshan

It must be the liver and the brain are smeared to the ground

In order to repay the grace of the Lord's public knowledge

Wei Wenhou immediately ordered

Leyang soldiers sent to Zhongshan

Let's talk about Le Yang

What a general

Beat the test all the way

Connected several cities

It was hit under the capital of Zhongshan

The monarch of Zhongshan was greatly alarmed

While tightening the defense

On the one hand, he asked Leshu to persuade his father to stop and return to Wei

predictable

Le Yang scolded his son

Let him bring a letter to the monarch of Zhongshan

Surrender early

Leyang attacked the city several times

None of them have progressed

It is expected that the hearts of the people in the city are still towards Zhongshan

and there was a siege but not a siege

Wait for your time

Buying the hearts and minds of the people

It happened that Leshu sent the news

Ask your father for a few months

Le Yang pushes the boat down the river

Just put down the position

Besiege the capital of Zhongshan without attacking

This back and forth reached Wei Wenhou's ears

Wei Wenhou was a little bottomless in his heart

Just talk to Zhai Huang

Are you reliable as a doorman?

Could it really be that he was thinking of the relationship between father and son

When the time comes, I will go back again

But it's troublesome

king

You put your heart in your stomach

Let me tell you this

I believe in Le Yang more than in myself

So to speak

Wei Wenhou was reassured

Not only did they not send people to urge the sheep to attack the city

He also built a mansion for Le Yang in the capital of Wei State

That means

Your brother fights slowly

I'll prepare a warm home for you in the back

Le Yang saw that the lord was like this

his uncle's

The son doesn't want it

Intensify the siege

Zhongshan Guojun was also anxious

Kill Leshu

Heads hung over the city

This angered Le Yang

He yelled at his son's head

That's what happened to you when you lifted your shoes

There is no more shackling Le Sheep

The capital was captured in one fell swoop

Pacified the Zhongshan Kingdom
