When Yang Zilu heard this, she couldn't help but fall into deep thought. To become a hegemon, one has to abandon something, such as hatred. But is it still yourself? Or is this what you're after?

Yang Zilu lowered his head and looked at his palm, not knowing why he suddenly felt that his clean and smooth palm was stained with bright red blood. Maybe he is no longer the Yang Zilu who just came out of the campus. Since he embarked on the road of fighting for hegemony, he has to work hard, not only for himself, but also for those who follow him.

Yang Zilu's gaze immediately became full of firmness, Yang Zilu raised his head and looked directly at Wen Chong, and said in a deep voice: "Young bird, you go and persuade the universe!" As long as he is willing to be an official, the widow is willing to give him the rank of colonel, the rank is higher than the doctor, and he is the newly formed Yulin Army under the command of the widow! ”

When Wen Chong heard this, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised, Yang Zilu of the Yulin Army had just been reorganized, and the whole army was 1,500 people, accounting for half of the strength of the Han State. There is a general of Yulin, and the rank is higher than that of the general. The three Yulin Lang generals are half a level higher than the thousand generals and half a level lower than the brigade commander. However, the Yulin Army is not satisfied, according to Yang Zilu's expectations, the full strength of the Yulin Army should be 3,000 people. Therefore, although each Yulin Lang general has the name of a thousand generals, there are also five battalions under his command, each battalion has four captains, and the four captains also have five commanders. But it just put the shelves up.

But everyone knows how great the future of General Yulin Lang is, even if he is unwilling to exchange it for a full number of thousands of generals. So far, Yang Zilu has also been appointed to two senior positions. One is that Yang Zilu himself is also the general of Yulin, and the other is Mang Gao as the general of Yulin, even Jiao Shuyan, who is considered to be Mang Gao's successor and Yang Zilu's future personal commander, is only a deputy general.

Han Jiading, Xia Huyao, Black Bear, Chonghu, Zhenyang, Jugu These doctors are for this position, but they break their scalps, and Yang Zilu does not have a quasi-letter, which shows the status of Yulin Army in Yang Zilu's heart.

"Lord, it doesn't have to be like this!" Wen Chong hesitated for a while, and then spoke.

"Nope! He has the ability, and if he is willing to take refuge in the widow, his loyalty is worthy of the widow's treatment! Yang Zilu's voice was full of iron-clad firmness.

Hearing this, Wen Chong nodded thoughtfully and said, "No! ”

Although Chou Wuyu is a fierce general, it does not mean that he is a reckless man, he originally thought that Yang Zilu would settle accounts with him. But he didn't expect Yang Zilu to attach so much importance to him, so he did not hesitate to send Wen to persuade him, and also gave him the position of Yulin Lang General. Of course, with his relatively simple mind, he didn't know that Yang Zilu was just using him as a horse bone to buy horses!

And the simple-minded Chou Wuyu only knew the truth that the person who was a confidant died, and he immediately agreed to come down in front of the literature that 'distorted' the facts. When Chou Wuyu came to Huiji City, Yang Zilu sent his car and went thirty miles out of the city to greet Chou Wuyu. Although in order to show respect, Chou Wuyu sat on the right side of the carriage to show his respect for Yang Zilu. But it also shocked everyone, and many people also admired Yang Zilu's mind, and they were also jealous.

However, he was really subdued by Yang Zilu, but he knew that he was a confidant and died, and after seeing Yang Zilu, he solemnly raised his palm, raised three fingers and swore to die for Yang Zilu. The oath of this era is still very credible, especially the oath made by a guy with a straight nerve after all.

Yang Zilu was naturally very happy, gathered all the doctors, and set up a banquet for the domain in person, and was so moved that the tears were in her eyes, and the tears almost burst out of her eyes.

On the second day after the banquet, Yang Zilu didn't seem to want to continue to let Yu Linlang's position be vacant. He transferred Black Bear back as the general of Yulin Lang, and Ayang could only be Black Bear's deputy. Originally, Yang Zilu wanted Chonghu to be the deputy of the domain, but he thought that Chonghu might not be convinced, so he appointed an ordinary deputy who would be the deputy of the domain. And Xia Huroar was sent to Longyou City by Yang Zilu to guard the west for Yang Zilu.

Chonghu went to Linggu and served as the county doctor, loosening his guard on the outside and on the inside, guarding against Wu and Yue.

But is Yang Zilu really honestly willing to have only 3,000 soldiers? Naturally, it is impossible, Yang Zilu issued a new order, and all towns and above should build a school building. In addition, all young people between the ages of 12 and 15 in the Han Kingdom will report to the nearby school before the first day of May, and the whole family will go to the mine to serve a year of hard labor in the mines.

And this school is actually just selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, and the professors sent to the school are all soldiers who were laid off after Yang Zilu fought with Wu and Yue. Many of them are disabled. However, after the baptism of war, they are undoubtedly more able to teach teenagers to become soldiers. Each teenager is required to study in the school for two years, but their room and board are covered by the state.

But there is also the problem that these veterans may be good soldiers, but they are not necessarily good mentors. They will probably only teach the teenager to be a good soldier, not a good officer. Yang Zilu didn't want to turn Han into the Sparta of the East.

Yang Zilu summoned Wen Chong, Yu Yu, and Kan Pingtian to discuss, and asked: "Now that the academy has been basically built, and those veterans have been simply taught, most of them can only train excellent soldiers, not excellent generals. And the widow doesn't want to be in the future, the Han State is a country where force is supreme, and culture is the foundation of building a country! The widow wants you to come up with a solution to the current shortage of scholars in the Han Kingdom. ”

As soon as Yang Zilu's words fell, Yu Yu already said with a look of annoyance: "Lord, the minister is a human, not a god, the lord said this, and the minister doesn't know how to solve it!" ”

Kan Pingtian frowned, thought for a while, and said: "Lord, this is actually not impossible, but I'm afraid that the Lord doesn't like it, because it's been a long time!" The Lord can send people to Qi, Lu and other cultural holy places to recruit scholars, especially the Lu country, where there are the most scholars! ”

When Yang Zilu heard this, he said distressedly: "The widow also knows, but let alone solicitation, it will take a month to go back and forth at the earliest, not to mention recruiting enough people, a year and a half is relatively short!" But the widow can afford to wait, and the school can't afford to wait! ”

"This ...... There's no way around it! Kan Pingtian said with a wry smile.

Yu Yu persuaded him: "Lord, didn't you say that Luoyang City was not built in a day? Isn't the Lord too eager for quick success? The minister thinks that even if it is delayed for a year and a half, it is okay! In this year and a half, the Lord can also strengthen the foundation of the Han Kingdom! After all, the speed of Han expansion is too fast! ”

Wen Chong also opened his mouth when he heard this: "Lord, what Yu Yu said is very true, although the lord's ability is outstanding now, but the lord's ability is too fast, and the foundation of the Han Kingdom is not stable, and the lord is not very old now, even if it is wasted for a year and a half, there is nothing to do." There happens to be a twist and turn here, and the minister thinks that the Lord should pay attention to this matter! The minister heard that the Sanyi tribe used the Shang Dynasty measurement, and one mu was about ninety-six steps in the Yue Kingdom. And the country of Yue is one acre of 100 steps. And the Yue State is also because of the previous feudal system of the major doctors, some of them are based on the well field system, and some imitate the Lu State to levy the initial tax per mu (tax in kind, according to the number of yields per mu of a certain proportion), and the fields are also slightly larger, and some are slightly smaller. The minister is preparing to ask the lord to re-measure the fields of the Han Kingdom and work out a unified field of acres! ”

When Yang Zilu heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, isn't this the 'car on the same track' and 'abolishing the same system' in the era of Qin Shi Huang? However, Yang Zilu was immediately relieved, isn't Tingliao recruiting talents a copy of a daughter's purchase? But there is no Tingliao Zhaoxian in the idiom, and Tingliao Zhaoxian is far less famous than the Qianqian Buy. But in fact, Tingliao Zhaoxian appeared earlier than buying a horse, and the meaning of both sides is similar, but there is no Tingliao Zhaoxian in modern times, this is history. Perhaps this kind of proposal was also made to Gou Jian in history, or Gou Jian did not adopt it, or the record may have been lost in the long river of history.

Yang Zilu hadn't spoken yet, Kan Pingtian was on the side, and he had already spoken: "By the way, my lord, if you don't mention the genre, the ministers have almost forgotten about it." The local county doctor said that the iron plough cast by the Lord was very effective, but the acres were too small, which caused the iron plough to rotate in the field very troublesomely, and he hoped that the Lord could appropriately expand the number of acres. The minister also thinks that it is very good, the lord does not take the well field system as the foundation, only collects two out of ten of the tax in kind, and it does not hurt to expand the number of acres! ”

When Yang Zilu heard this, he thought for a while, and said: "Lao Kan, then do you think it is better to revise the measurement in terms of how many steps should be taken as one acre?" ”

Kan Pingtian shook his head and said, "Lord, the minister thinks that this matter should go through many trials!" We can't make empty decisions! Otherwise, it will be the people who will suffer! And if you change it when the time comes, you will inevitably be suspected of changing it every day! ”

When Yang Zilu heard this, he came to his senses, and said apologetically: "Lao Kan, what you said is not wrong, but the widow didn't expect this detail!" Fortunately, there is Lao Kan for you! In that case, I'll leave this matter to you! ”

Wen Chong on the side suddenly slapped his thigh, which frightened Yang Zilu, Kan Pingtian, and Yu Yu They also said what happened, and everyone looked at Wen Chong with a shocked face.

Wen Chong didn't care, and said to Yang Zilu: "Lord, the minister just thought of something!" There you can find plenty of professors for the Lord to come to the school! ”

Although Yang Zilu said to put this matter down, who doesn't want to be able to solve him? Yang Zilu was immediately overjoyed and asked, "Oh! What can I do with the few birds! Come on! ”

"Confucius!" Wen Chong said to Yang Zilu with a serious face.

"Confucius? How is he? Yang Zilu asked suspiciously.

When Wen Chong heard this, he said in surprise: "Lord, have you forgotten that Confucius is now traveling around the world? Moreover, the minister heard that two years ago, Confucius and 3,000 disciples were trapped in the middle of the road by Chen Guoren, and they were short of food for more than seven days. Later, his disciple Zigong went to the state of Chu, and the state of Chu sent troops to lift the siege. Since Confucius had 3,000 disciples! As long as the Lord invites Confucius to come, and leaves dozens of his 3,000 disciples, let alone professors, the vacant official positions in various places can be greatly saturated! ”

When Yang Zilu heard this, he reacted that Confucius was still alive at this time, and he was still traveling around the world. Even if he doesn't have three thousand disciples now, he definitely still has one or two thousand disciples. However, Yang Zilu did not immediately agree, who is Confucius, Yang Zilu only knows that he is a saint through movies and books.

However, for Confucianism, Yang Zilu will inevitably be prejudiced, compared to Confucianism, Yang Zilu prefers Legalism. In fact, even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had eight hundred schools of thought, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who respected Confucianism alone, was actually a Confucian scholar, and he was still a Legalist scholar in his bones. Moreover, Confucian scholarship gave Yang Zilu the feeling that he had always been soft and weak, and there was also a policy of fooling the people to consolidate the rule of the monarch, which was just in the era of peace. How could this be possible in an age when the world is full of strife? Isn't this your own own seed?

The Song Dynasty carried forward Confucianism, but from the Song Dynasty onwards, except for the early Ming Dynasty, other Han dynasties in China were in a state of passive beating against the northern nomads. Do you want to promote Confucianism in the Han Kingdom? In the absence of a strong scholar in the Han State at present, I am afraid that Confucianism will make Confucianism stand out in the Han State. I'm afraid this will be very bad for the Han Kingdom!

Seeing that Yang Zilu didn't speak, Wen Chong's heart couldn't help but tighten, afraid that he would touch Yang Zilu's scruples, so he carefully organized his language and asked, "Lord, but what's wrong with this matter?" If the lord is unwilling to invite Confucius to recruit scholars in Qilu, the minister thinks it is also a good idea! ”

When Yang Zilu heard this, he couldn't help but wake up a little, no culture is terrible. Suppose it takes a year to recruit enough scholars as professors. Then, after a year of militarized training, the thinking of those teenagers may have been stereotyped in an environment that worships force. Yang Zilu knows the terrible degree of not having culture, and not having enough culture also means not having enough economy, and can only rely on force to deprive and maintain hegemony.

If the monarch is strong, it would be fine, but who can guarantee that every monarch is strong? Besides, even if successive monarchs have the wisdom to choose a good monarch, the monarch himself may change! There is no shortage of such kings in history, not to mention those who are far away, but there is one person who is near, and that is Fucha. Far away are Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, Later Tang Zhuangzong Li Cunqiao and others, all of their lives and husbands can be described in this sentence, "Half a life is a master, half a life is mediocre!" ”

And Yang Zilu doesn't know how long it will take to change the school house where the school spirit has been set, but it is certain that it is not easy to change. Yang Zilu gritted his teeth, Confucianism is Confucianism! It's better than a militaristic dominance! Yang Zilu instructed Yu Yu: "Yu Yu, you send someone to quickly inform the Ou Bijiang who was sent to the Chu State to ask him to find Confucius!" ”

After finishing speaking, Yang Zilu thought for a while, and said to Wen Chong: "The matter of receiving Confucius will be troublesome!" ”

Seeing that his opinion was adopted by Yang Zilu, Wen Chong couldn't help but be quite happy, and said with a smile: "The Lord is polite, this is what Wen Chong should do!" ”

After that, the three of them said goodbye to Yang Zilu.

Yang Zilu immediately summoned Remnant Zhu to come, after Remnant Zhu entered the stage, his surname also became a little cold, the most detailed thing was his Remnant Bamboo's dress, and now when Remnant Zhu came to see Yang Zilu, he was wearing a gray-black robe. When you duck into a corner, you hide in the shadows and become one with the shadows. Seeing his outfit, he will feel that Remnant Zhu is a person with a darker surname.

Although Yang Zilu felt a little uncomfortable, she didn't say anything to Remnant Zhu. Instead, he went straight to the point and said: "You go to Wu Country in person and give gifts to Bo Ya." The widow has sent someone to invite Confucius to come, and Confucius is likely to transit through Wu at that time, I am afraid that Wu Zixu will let the husband stop him, what you want is to let Bo Yao let Confucius and them come smoothly. ”

"No!" Remnant Zhu replied with words like gold, paused, and said to Yang Zilu: "Lord, if there is nothing else, the minister will go down to prepare for the affairs of the Wu Kingdom!" ”

When Yang Zilu heard this, he thought for a while, and said, "Well, if you don't say it, you almost forgot it!" There is another thing, Ou Bijiang sent people to say that he had a lot of problems in the matter of Chu asking the king of Chu to send shipbuilders. The generals of the Chu State Mausoleum Division (Army) agreed, believing that the Han State should be supported. However, many generals of the Zhou Division of Chu State thought that the current Han State was enough to contain the Wu State, and they also thought that our Han State was expanding rapidly and passed on the shipbuilding technology, so he said that he was afraid that he would raise tigers. You send someone to bribe the generals of the Chu State Boat Division! If it doesn't work, they will be assassinated, or they will be prevented from attending the court meeting. So that the people who support us can cook the raw rice into rice! ”

"No! Rest assured, Lord, you know what to do about this! If there is nothing else, the minister will retire! Remnant Zhu said expressionlessly.

"Well, you go down!" Yang Zilu said.

The time unconsciously came to May, and during this time, many changes took place in the Han Kingdom, such as Yang Zilu standardizing the measurement. The acres of land have also been changed from 100 steps to 240 steps per mu, and the yield per mu has also been increased to seven stones and two buckets. However, in order to recuperate, Yang Zilu halved the tax, from two of the ten taxes to one of the ten taxes, which won everyone, including the goodwill of the Yue people, the Shanyue people, and the Sanyi people, especially the Yue people.

At the same time, the stone, bucket, liter and other measuring tools are standardized, and the standardized measuring tools are placed near the entrance and exit of the market for the Chinese people to weigh. For this reason, Yang Zilu will also strictly enforce the law, and if the error exceeds three thousandths of a thousandth, a fine of 100 yuan will be imposed, and every more than 1/1000 on the basis of three thousandths will be doubled. In more than one percent, the merchant was sentenced to three years of hard labor in the mines, and half of his family property was confiscated. The whistleblower is rewarded with a fine of one-third of the fine.

In order to prevent collusion between officials and businessmen, Yang Zilu also sent Han Jiading, a cold-blooded and ruthless doctor, to inspect various places. The harsh laws have also made the market clear, and the people of the country have applauded it.

Yang Zilu also began to mint the currency belonging to the Han Kingdom for the first time. Before that, although the Han Kingdom minted coins, they all minted the Ge coins of the Yue Kingdom. This time, Yang Zilu minted the famous 'Brother Kong Fang', which weighed much heavier than the five-baht coins in history, and about two copper coins were equivalent to one Ge coin. It has learned from the history of someone who scraped the edge of the copper coin, used the bad money as good money, and scraped out the copper coins for profiteering.

Yang Zilu asked people to add a fence to the edge of the copper coin, and the copper coin would be invalid without the edge. In front of the copper coin, there are four big characters - "Dahan Tongbao", and behind it is the time of minting coins - a certain year of the Han Dynasty, and the place where the coins are minted. There are five coinage supervisors, which are one to four and the five central names.

At this time, Ou Bijiang also came to defend the country. The monarch of Wei Guo at this time is Wei Linggong, and it can be seen from the nickname that Wei Linggong's evaluation in the history of Wei Lingguo is not very good. But in fact, Wei Linggong is a very unique person, he is moody, and you can do anything when he likes you.

He used to have a male pet named Mi Zifang, who was smart and beautiful, and he was also a relative of Confucius Gao Zi Lu. One day, Miko gets the news that his mother is sick. Mi Zibian is a filial son, and he didn't care about reporting to Wei Linggong in a hurry, so he pretended to pass on the country's order, and drove the country's carriage back to see his mother without permission. According to the law, Miko needs to be executed, that is, his legs must be cut off.

However, Wei Linggong said: "What a filial son! For the sake of his mother, let him forget about the execution! ”

Another day, Wei Linggong and Mi Zibian went to the peach orchard to have fun, and Mi Zibian picked a peach and gave it to Wei Linggong. Wei Linggong not only did not get angry, but said: "How much Mi Zibian loves me! I'm afraid that the peaches will sour me, so I will eat them after trying them for me! ”

As a result, Wei Linggong later executed Mi Zibian on charges of driving the monarch's carriage without permission and giving the monarch what he had eaten.

Besides, Wei Linggong was very happy with Confucius, Confucius had just arrived in Weiguo, Wei Linggong was very happy, and treated Confucius very well, taking Confucius as the standard of Lu and fiefdom, and sent 60,000 stone millet to his grandson as Yulu, but he did not give Confucius to participate in political affairs. Ten months have passed, and someone slandered Confucius in front of Wei Linggong.

Wei Linggong was suspicious and sent people to publicly spy on Confucius. Confucius also has a backbone, he doesn't keep his master here, he has his own place to keep his master, and he took his disciples and left to prepare to go to Chen State. However, Confucius was also an unlucky fellow, who was misunderstood when he passed by Kuangcheng, and was besieged in Kuangcheng for five days. At this time, everyone should think that Confucius's bad luck has passed.

As a result, on the way, he encountered a rebellion of the Gongsun clan, a nobleman of the Wei Kingdom, because Confucius was favored by the Duke of Wei Ling, and Confucius was besieged again. When Confucius finally escaped, he found that he was now so poor that he had no money to leave the country. Confucius had no choice but to return to the capital of Weiguo, and it stands to reason that Wei Linggong should have sneered at Confucius who ran away and came back, or at least should be treated indifferently. However, Wei Linggong's head really can't be speculated with normal people's thoughts.

Wei Linggong not only did not doubt Confucius, but also ignored Confucius's departure and went out of the city to greet him in person. However, Wei Linggong is Wei Linggong, and it didn't take long for him to treat Confucius badly. Confucius still exerts the spirit of 'there is no place to stay here, there is a place to stay here'. Led people away again. But the unlucky Confucius, the bad luck has not passed, this time he was besieged by the Chen people for seven days on the way, and finally escaped by the rescue of the Chu State.

After not staying in Chu for long, Confucius and Wei Linggong seemed to be addicted to playing, and they missed Wei Linggong a little. Confucius returned to defend the country again, and Wei Linggong was also very cooperative with Confucius, and went out of the city to greet Confucius again.

However, after almost half a year, Wei Linggong hated Confucius again. Hearing the intention of Ou Bijiang, he immediately stood up happily and danced with his hands: "Okay! Take this old man with you, and the widow will give you twenty horses of silk!" Not thirty horses! ”

Ou Bijiang originally thought that it would take a lot of trouble, because not long ago, this Wei Linggong personally went out of the city to greet Confucius. Why has it only been less than a year since Wei Linggong changed again? Now all at once Confucius has been abandoned.

But this is fine, I don't have to find a way to get Wei Linggong to release him. As for Wei Linggong's words, Ou Bijiang directly ignored it, thirty horses of silk is really not a small amount of money, but Ou Bijiang felt that he had accepted him, and he was very embarrassed in his heart, what are you? Help Wei Linggong drive people away?

Ou Pijiang immediately expressed his gratitude to Wei Linggong and gave ten fine furs and ten Chu silk as gifts. However, Wei Linggong solved it, but Confucius was reluctant to go to the Han Kingdom.

The next day, Ou Pijiang chose a rather generous gift and went to meet Confucius. When Confucius heard that the envoy of the Han Kingdom had come to see him, he was also curious about what the envoy of the Han Kingdom was doing when he came to see him. didn't care, so he asked his disciple to come in.

The two sides did not talk for long, and Ou Bijiang said his purpose.

Confucius was a more reserved person, and of course he did not refuse to go straight to the point. Instead, he expressed his meaning by knocking on the side, to the effect that my disciples Zilu and Ran Qiu have already been active for me in the Lu country, and I estimate that it will not be long before I will go back to the Lu country. And although the Han Kingdom is relatively famous, it is a small barbarian country in the final analysis, how can I go to such a place?

To put it bluntly, Confucius regarded the Han Kingdom as the current Africa, while the Lu State was not a great power, but it was recognized as a cultural power by the princes of the world. It's like how a great authority from a prestigious university can be recruited by a poor African country?

Although this is embarrassing, I have to admit that it is true. Ou Bijiang only hoped that he could move Confucius with sincerity, so he stayed with Confucius all afternoon. The tone is very sincere, and he promises a lot of preferential conditions.

However, although Confucius's answer has changed a lot, the meaning has not changed a little.

Ou Bijiang is helpless, you can't play tricks, right? Kidnapping Confucius to the Han Kingdom, everyone is a civilized person, and it is unlikely that Wei Linggong will let you take Confucius hostage. If the gull is successful, will Wei Linggong's face still be bright? If it is replaced by the envoys of the great powers of Jin, Chu, Qi, and Wu, it will be fine, buddy, I can't afford to mess with it. But you Han Kingdom, I can't afford to mess with me.

(To be continued)
