Chapter 1O9 The Top Ten are Born
The six states of Shandong accused the Qin state of "being harsh and fiercer than the tiger", but in fact, the six states of Shandong were the real ones who were harsh and fiercer than the tiger.
The politics of the Qin State are clear, the laws and regulations are strict, everything is done according to the law, and it cannot be changed at will, even the King of Qin cannot be changed arbitrarily, and the people of the country live and work in peace and contentment, as long as they are diligent in the crops, they can eat enough and dress warmly.
The six countries of Shandong are just the opposite, the monarch is mostly indulged in pleasure, the laws and regulations are not good, the people are suffering from harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the heavy taxes are overwhelming.
Moreover, the six countries of Shandong implemented a feudal system, in which the monarch could divide the ministers, and the ministers could divide the retainers, and the retainers and the retainers and the retainers of the retainers and the retainers of the retainers and the retainers of the retainers...... In this way, it is conceivable how serious the tax is, you know, every time it is divided, it is an additional payment.
Perhaps, the tax paid by the monarch is only 23/10, and when it comes to the people, it can reach up to 89/10.
For example, Chencheng in Chu was a large commercial city at that time, and there were many goods shipped out and in from here every day. From Chencheng in Chu State to Handan, there are nearly fifty checkpoints in just a thousand miles, and on average, there is one checkpoint every twenty miles, which is terrifying.
Who set up these levels? Of course, it was set up by those nobles who had a small fief, and as long as there was a fief, they had to set up a card to get gold.
If you don't fish, you can't do it, and if you don't pay homage to you, you can't keep this land.
Besides, who doesn't want to fish more for the benefits they can reap? If you take it out like this, the Chinese people will suffer the most.
For big merchants like Mrs. Qing, from Chencheng to Handan, not every checkpoint has to pay taxes, for them, there are only a dozen checkpoints to pay taxes, because Mrs. Qing is the largest business, and the power is great, and the ordinary small feudal lords dare not collect their taxes.
But what about those small trading companies? That is, to collect as many taxes as possible, because they have little power, and who else will the small feudal lords collect if they do not collect their taxes?
What a shocking tax.
Like so many checkpoints from Chencheng to Handan. There are too many places in Shandong, it can be said that they are everywhere!
It is precisely because of this that Qin Shi Huang ordered the destruction of these checkpoints after the unification of China, which should be a very good benevolent government. However. In the mouth of later generations, this is ironclad evidence of Qin Shi Huang's "tyranny".
Qin Yiren analyzed it, and when it came to the hearts of the lively people, they recognized Qin Guo from the bottom of their hearts. It is believed that the land of Shandong is the real "harsh government and fierce tiger".
"Good! Pick! ”
Xunzi, Gongsun Longzi, Le Yi, and Lian Po stood up, clapped their hands lightly, and applauded loudly.
Qin Yiren's arguments are reasonable, reasonable, and very detailed. No one can refute it, far from being comparable to Gongsun Chou's empty talk, they appreciate it from the bottom of their hearts.
"Childe is wise!" Sima Terrier was overjoyed, shaking his fists and praising loudly.
"That's a great point!" Wang Juan's eyes were full of brilliance.
He argued with Gongsun Chou, and under the attack of Gongsun Chou's words like a cannonball, he was difficult to parry. Unexpectedly, Qin Yiren won a debate and won a full house. also made Gongsun Chou so angry that he vomited blood again.
"Confucianism is pedantic, and it is true! It's just empty talk, and there is no talent! Xin Lingjun looked at Gongsun Chou, who had fallen on the polemic platform, and was very disdainful.
"If you can't live in Shandong, go to Qin." In the cheers of the crowd. Qin Yiren took the opportunity to advertise and preach for the Qin State: "The Qin State will give you farm tools, ploughing cattle, and land to help you live in peace." You may go without bread for three years. ”
In order to attract displaced people from Shandong, the Qin State took a series of measures. The distribution of farm implements, ploughing cattle, fields, and tax exemptions are well known all over the world.
"Ploughing cattle?"
"Really for the ploughing cows?"
The eyes of the farmers who were watching the excitement were round and their faces were in disbelief.
Cattle farming technology is not unusual for us modern people at all, and it has long been eliminated. For the ancients of the Warring States Period, it was advanced farming technology, and the promotion of cattle farming technology was a huge revolution, equivalent to the promotion of mechanization in modern society.
At that time, the only one who really used ox farming technology was the Qin State, which was also an important reason for the prosperity of the Qin State.
Moreover, the ploughing cattle were very, very precious at that time, for this reason, the Qin State specially legislated to protect the ploughing cattle, and inspected them once a year, if the ploughing cattle inspected this year were not as good as last year, the owner's family should be punished, generally flogging.
When these farmers first heard that they could have ploughing cattle, they really didn't believe that such a good thing could happen.
"Not only will you plough cattle, but you can also enjoy the same Qin method as me." Qin Yiren would not let go of any opportunity to preach, and said: "Qin has no nobility and cheapness, one and the same law, even I, the king and grandson, have no privileges, and I can't bully you." Even he, the lieutenant of Qin, can't bully you. He pointed at Sima Terrier.
"That's right! What Childe said is extremely true! Sima Terrier stood up, and said Aang.
"Regardless of the high and the low, one and the same law", for the people of Shandong, it is a fantasy, which of them is not bullied by the nobles? Which one has not been oppressed?
"Great! Go to the Qin Kingdom! Go to the Qin Kingdom! ”
Look at the lively Chinese people are happy, not to be bullied, it is too tempting for them.
"Damn Qin people!"
"Hateful Qin people!"
Xinlingjun, Chunshenjun, and Pingyuanjun saw it in their eyes and hated it in their hearts, but there was nothing they could do.
"This polemic, Inhuman Son, win!" Xunzi announced the results.
"Good! Pick! "There was an earth-shattering roar and everyone was excited, and that's exactly what they were thinking.

Huang Shigong met another student of Mencius, Wan Zhang. Wan Zhang is a celebrity who has been famous for many years, and his fame moves the world, and Huang Shi Gong is a hermit, although he is talented, but he is unknown, of course Wan Zhang does not put Huang Shi Gong in his eyes. However, as soon as the debate began, Wan Zhang knew that something was wrong, Huang Shi Gong was able to speak, see people, and analyze well, and after only a while, Wan Zhang was defeated.
"Huangshi, win!" The judges were immediately announced.
"Huangshi, who is this person?" Pingyuan-kun's face was surprised.
"I haven't heard of it." Xinlingjun couldn't help but shake his head.
"This person has sharp words and extraordinary knowledge, so he can't be allowed to enter Qin." Chun Shenjun immediately reminded.
"Yes, you can't let him enter Qin. If he insists on entering Qin, then he has to ......" Xin Lingjun's eyes flashed with fierce light.
"He was victorious, as expected." Lian Po took it for granted.

"Cai Ze, win!" With the judges announced, Cai Ze successfully advanced to the next round.
"Who is Cai Ze?" Pingyuan-jun, Xinling-jun, and Chunshen-jun looked confused.
"Ji Ran Mingshi, Cai Ze?" Ji Xin looked at Cai Ze and sighed: "Such a talent." It's a pity that I don't need to. King Zhao has passed away, and the golden platform has been abolished, what a pity! ”
"What a pity! King Zhao is gone, and the golden platform is wasted! Le Yi was full of emotion.
King Yan Zhao built a golden platform to recruit wise men from all over the world. For the ages. Le Yi and Ju Xin are both famous people in Golden Taichung. Cai Ze is so talented, but he can't be used by Yan Guo, which evokes the memories of Le Yi and Ju Xin.

"This man's name is Li Si, and his words are like knives. A sharp mouth. After Li Si's victory, Xinling Jun was surprised.
"What nationality is this? It seems to be a native of Chu, yes, a small official of Cai in Chu. Pingyuan Jun stroked his forehead, and it took a long time to remember Li Si's origin.
"Chu people? Shang Cai Xiaoyi? Chun Shenjun was surprised for a while. Some incredulous: "Shang Cai can also be as good as the above characters?" ”
"Chun Shenjun, this person should not be missed." Xin Lingjun reminded him, and his eyes flashed.
Chun Shenjun immediately understood and said, "Hmm." He is also a Chu person, and he does not work for me...... Oh, no, how can you be justified in serving the state of Chu? ”
Li Si's eloquence is extraordinary, and he shows good talent. If you can do things for Chun Shenjun, Chun Shenjun has endless benefits.
Chun Shen Jun was a man who was greedy and insatiable, and would never recommend Li Si to King Chu Kaolie.

"Han Fei, win!" With the verdict announced. There was an uproar.
"This little stutter actually won!"
"The little stuttering debate is so interesting, it makes people laugh because of their blushing faces and thick necks!"
"With so many people arguing, this little stutter is the most interesting. Looking at the way he wanted to say but couldn't, I wanted to laugh. I want to laugh so much. ”
Looking at the lively people, he looked at Han Fei, covered his mouth and snickered.
can't blame them, it's really Han Fei's polemic is unique, it's too alternative, and it can't be done if people don't laugh.
Han Fei's participation in the polemic is a pain, he is tired of speaking, and so are the people who listen. Despite this, Han Fei still won.
"This son is teachable." Xunzi's eyes flashed, and he commanded his disciples.
The disciple walked away quickly and led Han Fei to Xunzi.
"Han Fei, are you willing to learn from me?" Xunzi looked at Han Fei and asked.
"Ahh An exclamation rang out, like thunder.
Xunzi is famous all over the world, he was the master of the academic world at that time, he actually wanted to accept Han Fei as a disciple, this is amazing, if you don't see it with your own eyes, who will believe it?
It's better to accept a normal person, but it's a big stammer, which is too unusual, who can not be shocked?
"Han Fei, this is your creation, hurry up." Han Kaidi was surprised, and hurriedly reminded Han Fei.
"You, you...... Teachable...... I? However, to everyone's surprise, Han Fei stared at Xunzi, raised his neck, and didn't take Xunzi in his eyes.
Han Fei is arrogant, looking at the world, few people can enter his eyes. Even if it is an academic hero like Xunzi, he has to question it.
"Han Fei, how did you speak?" Han Kaidi scolded in a deep voice, and hurriedly said to Xunzi: "Sir, don't be surprised!" ”
"Don't worry, sir isn't so careful." In history, Han Fei was Xunzi's disciple, but Han Fei was actually questioning Xunzi's level, if Qin Yiren hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he really wouldn't believe it: "Han Fei, can Mr. teach you, you and Mr. will go to the house to argue." ”
The debate between these two masters and apprentices must be very exciting, but in front of so many people, it is not good, it is better to save some face for Han Fei.
"Very good!" Xunzi nodded in agreement.
"Please." Han Fei flicked the sleeves of his robe and followed behind Xunzi.
Everyone lifted their toes, stretched their necks, opened their eyes wide, and stared at the direction where the two were leaving.
It didn't take long for the two to turn around, Han Fei drooped his head, and followed behind Xunzi step by step, knowing the result without thinking about it, Han Fei was bound to lose.
Han Fei is a generation of wizards in Chinese history, a genius is extraordinary, after all, he is young, and he still needs time to grow up, and it is normal to lose to Xunzi.
Soon, the top ten were produced: Qin Yiren, Huang Shigong, Yu Yi, Pang Xuan, Cai Ze, Yao Jia, Dun Weak, Wusunluo, Shan Rongfu and Bogeya.
Although Han Fei and Li Si are extraordinary, they still need time to grow, and it is normal that they do not enter the top ten.
