Sinjeong, South Korea.

At three o'clock, Han An returned to the small courtyard he rented as always. During this time, because of the increasingly fierce wave of law changes, everyone in the family was in danger, and the people celebrated at dawn. In Sanchuan County, the blood splashed on the banks of the Yishui River has long since dried up. But out of their own interests, local tycoons are still resistant to the new law.

Two days ago, Han Wangran announced that the Xintian Law has begun to be fully implemented in Nanyang and Sanchuan counties, and the effect is "quite good". In order to popularize this function on a large scale in the contemporary system, Yingchuan County will become another county to be promoted by the Xintian Law before Shangdang County.

Everyone knows very well that the two counties of Nanyang and Sancheon are newly occupied lands, and the power of the noble and wealthy families in Korea is not large. Only Shangdang and Yingchuan can the various noble and wealthy forces be intricately entangled, forming an unbreakable interest group, whose power is so great that it can almost influence the government of South Korea. The difficulty of implementing the new law here can be imagined.

At the beginning, Han Wangran used the former Shaofu Hanwen as a breakthrough and established the prestige of the new law. The nobles thought that Han Wangran wanted to make it difficult first and then easy, and first started to change the law from the core of Korea, Yingchuan, and the nervous nobles decided to unite to prevent the implementation of the new law. But Han Wangran attacked the west and took the lead in setting off a vigorous new law in Nanyang and Sanchuan.

In these two places, anyone who obstructs the implementation of the new law, the imperial historian Fan Sui will be cut first and then played, and the effect of this is to kill chickens and monkeys to set an example. Yingchuan County's original resolute opposition to the reform of the law some of them retreated, and some also retreated. At this time, Han Wangran announced that the next person to fully implement the new law was Yingchuan County. How can this not be annoying.

For the panicked current situation, Han An is very happy. What does this mean? This shows that Han Wangran has begun to lose the support of the central nobles and local tycoons. Kill to intimidate those who oppose the law, and use tyranny to silence dissenting voices. What is the difference between this and Xia Wei's business, and what is the difference between this and Tyrannical Qin?

When he went to find Si Kou, the reason why he rejected him was because Han Wangran won the hearts of the people, but now that the "people's hearts" have been lost, Han An feels that his opportunity has come.

While thinking about it, Han Bo, the housekeeper of the Sikou Mansion, walked up to the door.

"Childe. My lord has something important to discuss with you, so please go to Sikou's Mansion with me. Han Bobi said respectfully.

Han An showed a satisfied smile and replied unhurriedly: "It's really strange that Lord Si Kou summoned me, Lang Zhong, to discuss matters!" You let me change my clothes, and I'll come here. ”

Han Bo nodded, he knew the actual identity of the other party, otherwise Lord Si Kou would not have ordered him to come and bring him back to the mansion. Lord Si Kou has a fair life, rarely favoritism in charge of the criminal law, and his fists are the heart of the country. How can I owe such a favor!

Half an hour later, the rejuvenated Han An came to Sikou Mansion and "sat and discussed" with Han Xiu, who was a noble Gong Zhengbo.

"Lord Si Kou hurriedly summoned the little Lang Zhong of the ace, I don't know what is going on? Please advise! Han An took a sip of tea and said with his fists clenched.

Si Kou Han Xiu carefully looked at Han An, who was dressed as a scholar in front of him, showed a satisfied look, and said, "Not bad, very good like your father." ”

Han An gently put down the teacup. said in a dissatisfied tone: "My father's demeanor is still the same, but he is just a white body without a lord. Lord Sikou called me over, if only to see how I was doing. That purpose has been achieved. If nothing else, I'll take my leave. ”

Han Xiu laughed, waved his hand and said, "The temper is as good as that of a child!" It seems that these days, you haven't grown too much in the forbidden army. ”

Han An's face instantly lengthened, but as if to prove that what Si Kou said was not true, he still said patiently: "Please also ask Lord Si Kou for advice." ”

Han Xiu nodded solemnly. He said, "I heard that you have been promoted to a prefect?" ”

"It is true." Han An replied succinctly.

He himself did not rely on anyone's power, and he was promoted completely by his own ability, which was the thing he was most proud of. It's just that compared to Han Ran, who was born rich and victorious. I still need to do more.

"To be able to serve Daehan is not to disappoint your father's heart. Today I have summoned you to visit your son in the place of your father, so as to fulfill the heart of the deceased. Both are also to ask you for your ideas. ”

"My idea?" Han An asked puzzled.

"Yes! I'm old, I'm in my sixties this year. You also know that the older people get, the more they want to seek stability, and peace and security are more important than anything else. The perception of many things has also become shallow, and it is impossible to see far away. Unlike virtuous nephews, young and vibrant. Han Xiu said in pieces.

Regarding Han Xiu's almost chattering complaints, Han An was very calm, like a person listening to a story, the "story" did not end, and the "audience" did not intend to interject and inquire.

As if realizing this, Han Xiu finally got to the point, "What do you think of the changes that the king is implementing now?" ”

Han An deliberately paused for a moment before he calmly said, "What kind of opinion does Lord Si Kou want me to have?" ”

"Tell me the truth."

"Good! Then when I tell the truth, I will see the same opinion as the nobles, and this is the way to get rid of evil. Han An said disdainfully.

Si Kou Han Xiu frowned and asked puzzledly, "What?" ”

"Where the general trend of the world is, it is important to have a 'follow' word. Those who follow the trend live, and those who go against the current die. The same is true of statecraft. The king governs the ministers, the ministers govern the minor officials, and the minor officials govern the common people. Now the king has done the opposite, offended the ministers and gave great benefits to the people, so that if the kingdom will not be a country, is it not the way to bring disaster? ”

"So, you support the abolition of the Ida system and the retention of slavery?" Si Kou Han Xiu asked.

"No, such as Qin's Shang Ying's change of law, what was abolished was the Jingtian system, but it still caused an uproar. Nowadays, the number of old and new aristocrats is uneven, whether it is to abolish the well field or restore the well field, it will offend a large number of nobles, in this case, it is better not to be cured, and the general trend of the world will decide which side is in line with the historical trend. As for slavery, didn't King Han lead the Korean army to victory after victory before he ascended the throne? We are not a barbarian state like Qin. The number of slaves was always small. ”

Han Xiu sighed deeply and said, "If you are asked to govern the country, you will definitely be inclined to Taoist inaction. ”

Han An nodded, and then laughed at himself: "It's a pity, I'm afraid I don't have a chance to govern the country." ”

Han Xiu shook his head and said meaningfully, "That's not necessarily. The general trend of the world. Who can tell! If the king's heart is really lost, and the nobles know your existence, you may not be able to ascend to the throne. I only hope that one day, you will know the sufferings of the people and be a good king. ”

When Han An heard this, he was overjoyed and said: "The sky will not live up to me, I will live up to the people of the world!" ”

On October 15, King Yan held a ceremony in Jicheng. Proclaimed the princess of Nazhao as queen. Zhao, Han, Wei, and Chu all sent important ministers to congratulate them, and even the Qin and Qi states, which were not very good at dealing with Zhao and Yan, also sent ministers of high status to congratulate the wedding.

On October 16, according to the established plan, Han Wangran went to the old capital of Yangzhai to inspect Yingchuan College, accompanied by Prime Minister Zhang Ping.

Yang Zhai, located on the west bank of Yingshui, is named after the Zhai people who lived here four hundred years ago, and its place is in the sun of Songshan Mountain. The Xia Dynasty was set to be the capital here. During the reign of Han Jinghou, the capital of Korea was moved here from Pingyang. Yangzhai officially became the political center of South Korea. It was not until more than 30 years later that South Korea moved its capital to Xinzheng again.

Yangzhai is only 80 miles away from Xinzheng, and it can be reached in one day. But Han Wangran had a hard time getting out of Xinzheng, and specially ordered someone to slow down, not only to observe the people's feelings along the way, but also to relax.

"Prime Minister, the people are suffering! Look at those families just now, they have been working hard for a year. But earn a little food and clothing, buy a few new clothes, and eat a few meats. It's all the responsibility of the widow! On the carriage, Han Wangran sighed.

Zhang Ping obviously couldn't accept Han Wangran's feelings of worrying about the country and the people for a while, and the education he received since he was a child is that everyone has his own destiny. Each performs its own duties, and the world can be governed. Poor people are born naturally to accept their predetermined fate and work hard; The children of rich and noble families are also understandably born noble. These are all justified, how can the poor not be like this, as the king lamented.

But Zhang Ping could only reply tentatively: "When the new law is popularized in Yingchuan County, these farmers will have a much better life." However, did the king ever think that according to the new law, every family was a free citizen, and if the state gave them all well fields, would their enthusiasm for farming still be so high? Will it affect the military? ”

Han Wangran nodded, Zhang Ping understood what he said just now. Not all people can be prepared for danger in times of peace, and if they set such a low tax and divide a large amount of land, the people will be able to eat and drink enough. But the enthusiasm of such a dangerous guy in the army may not be high, this era pays attention to being a soldier in the agricultural war in his spare time, and he is used to a good life, who is willing to risk the danger on the battlefield to snatch military merits?!

In response to Prime Minister Zhang Ping's questioning, Han Wangran explained: "The restoration of the well field system is absolutely unshakable, in order not to affect the overall plan, I have informed Wen Xinghou's side, each adult male is divided into three acres of well fields, two acres for women, and one acre for children, so that a family of five should have eleven acres of land, which is barely enough for the family." But if you want to have a higher standard of living, you have to make military contributions. Who in the world doesn't want their own life to be better! ”

"The king is wise!" Prime Minister Zhang Ping praised.

Zhang Ping knew very well that the two counties of Sanchuan and Nanyang had completely popularized the Xintian Law. If he really has a temporary benevolence, Han Wangran can completely share more than forty or fifty acres of well fields for each family, but if he really does this, Han Wang will also reward the meritorious soldiers with no land in the future.

Han Wangran shook his head, human nature is greedy, as a monarch, what he hopes is to strengthen the country and the people, this is a kind of greed; The people of Lebanon want to cultivate more land for nothing, which is also a kind of greed. As a superior person, he needs to take advantage of this greed, spur and drive them to fight the world for themselves, and end this turbid and chaotic world.

The newly promoted lieutenant Wei Zhe realized the helplessness in Han Wangran's heart, but he didn't break it, but just talked about another topic, and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that Yingchuan Academy has gathered talents from all over the world, and there is an endless stream of people from hundreds of schools of thought, and hundreds of schools of thought are contending, which is spectacular!" ”

Looking at Wei Zhe with an excited face, thinking that he was from Xianyang, Han Wangran finally remembered who the other party was, and why did he have an impression but only remembered it now. Historically, many people have no impression of his common name, but his reclusive name is a household name, yes. He is Huang Shi Gong.

Huangshi Gong was originally a minister of Qin, serving King Zhuangxiang and Qin Shi Huang for two generations of Qin kings, because Qin Shi Huang was arbitrary, he resigned and retired to Huanghua Cave at the northern foot of Huangshan Mountain. Once met Zhang Liang on the bridge, tested Zhang Liang in the way of acceptance, and found that he could bend what others could not bend. What people can't endure is to give away the "Taigong Art of War" (the saying of the historical records, another is the "Plain Book") that he has learned all his life, and Zhang Liang used the knowledge to assist Liu Bang in pacifying the world.

Thinking that such a strange material was actually recruited to his command, Han Wangran was also very happy, and said with a pleasant face: "Those who study the palace under the palace are flashy and unrealistic. South Korea does not have such national strength, so we can only run a practical college. A hundred schools of thought contend. On the surface, it is spectacular, but in fact, it is uneven, and there are many fallacies. There are those who sell their fame and reputation, and there are those who make up the numbers. The widow hopes that Yeongcheon College will become the first college in Korea. The knowledge of his professors is mixed with the strengths of hundreds of schools. Only by establishing this as a national study can we bless future generations. ”

Although he didn't understand the meaning of "indiscriminately filling the numbers", Wei Zhe still respected Han Wangran's ideals. He asked solemnly: "Dare to ask the king, what is the study of the country?" ”

"Confucian benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith. The law of the Legalists, the inaction of the Taoists, the power of the vertical and horizontal families, the strong use of the Mohists, and the strategies of the soldiers can all be used. Han Wangran replied very simply.

"If only it could be so. The world is under great control. However, the thinking of various schools has been around for a long time, and if you want to change, it is not a matter of time! ”

"Si is the master, the soldier must be Hongyi, there is a long way to go!" Han Wangran said pointedly.

Next. Yangzhai, South Korea. The county guard Han Ying took the county lieutenant Han Shu, the county captain Han Jun, and the three elders and one cadre of officials out of the city for ten miles to welcome King Han. A few days ago, Han Wangran moved the county administration of Yingchuan County to Yangzhai. The reason is to separate the national capital and the county administration, and each performs its own duties.

"The ministers knock before the king." As soon as King Han's car stopped, the officials of Yingchuan County gave a big salute.

Han Wangran looked at the noble children in front of him, although he was disgusted with the other party's opposition to the new law, he said with a little enthusiasm: "Zhong Aiqing governs Yingchuan for the widow, so that the road is not left behind, the door is not closed at night, and the hard work is high!" ”

"I dare not be ashamed!" Han Ying and the others were ashamed.

Now the common people of Yingchuan County and Hejun are discussing how much land they will get, and they are imagining a better life in the near future. The wealthy families were sad and busy transferring their land. Even if it is transferred to the name of his friend, it is better than being bought by the state. In such an atmosphere, there will naturally be fewer chickens and dogs. The new law provides for the penalty of burglary - 30 canes, which is punished by the amount of money, and hard labor of varying durations.

"How is the new law prepared? In five days, Yingchuan County will start implementing the Xintian Law in Hejun. Han Wangran reminded.

"Back to the king, all the villages and communities have posted propaganda newspapers about the new law, and the ministers and others are worried that some people are illiterate, so they have specially sent some scholars to publicize it." Han Ying said cautiously.

"Oh?" Han Wangran was very surprised by the answer of the county guard Han Ying, and asked with interest at the moment: "What do the common people think of the Xintian Law?" ”

"Naturally, there are many supports, but ......" Han Ying wanted to say and stopped.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it! The widow does not count your faux pas. Han Wangran waved his hand and said.

And he said. The king also knew that in the Xia and Shang dynasties, the Jingtian system was popular. Ten wells and one village, ten villages and one house, and the villages and communities are connected by Qianmo roads. The common people all lived in the well fields, but the new well field system formulated by the Imperial Historian now requires the village as a unit to build houses on barren slopes, saline-alkali land, and barren beaches that cannot be cultivated. The minister knew that this was to increase the cultivated land, but the common people loved the soil, and the original houses had to be demolished and new houses had to be built. ”

Han Wangran frowned after hearing this, Han Ying was telling the truth. In the past, there was little resistance to the implementation of the Xintian Law in Nanyang and Sanchuan, because the demolition and construction of houses had already been completed during the reign of the Qin State. South Korea only needs to redistribute the land.

However, the situation in Yingchuan and Shangdang is very different, and the common people used to live a life of "hearing the voices of chickens and dogs, and not getting along with each other when they are old and dead", and the direct connection between people is very loose. In order to enrich material and cultural exchanges and facilitate rule, the new Korean law followed the Qin Shang Dynasty Reform Law and gathered these common people. This is probably the last thing that the common people want to see.

Seeing that King Han frowned, Han Ying thought that there was a play in persuading King Han, and immediately added: "The homestead in the well field, the boundaries of the fields, the lanes, the hair channels, and the dry valleys, all of these need to be filled in and rested into fertile land." These are time-consuming and laborious, and it seems that there is still more than a month before the heavy snowfall, no matter how hard the common people try, I am afraid that they will not be able to complete it before the spring ploughing. If it is implemented strongly, the ministers are afraid, and the ministers are afraid of complaints! ”

In fact, Han Ying's sentence is three points true and seven points false, and the people have a slight opinion on this article of the Xintian Law, but on the whole, they are very supportive. Moreover, Han Wangran promised the Korean people that within three years, a school would be built in each village. This alone has touched countless ordinary people. In this era, being able to read and write was a privilege for aristocrats, and there was no so-called public school at all. If the descendants of the common people want to escape the fate of poverty, they will either have to take up lowly jobs, such as business, or become high-ranking officers in the army.

Confucianism emphasizes that "the people can make it, and then they can do it; Don't make it, know it". If we talk about Confucius's greatest contribution to this country, it is to set off a culture of private learning. It has enabled countless lowly civilians to learn knowledge.

For Han Ying's vague construction, the hesitation on Han Wangran's face flashed, and he said resolutely: "There are always difficulties, but they can always be overcome. Chen Sui, how much is available in the treasury before spring ploughing? ”

Chen Sui, who was proved to have "Xiao He's talent", had gotten rid of his status as a commoner and was awarded the high position of a fake Shaofu by King Han. Feeling the high power of the Shaofu, King Han split the responsibilities of the original Shaofu into two parts, and the official position in charge of the royal finances was still Shaofu, but the one in charge of the arsenal and weapons manufacturing was renamed the Shaofu.

Chen Sui quickly calculated in his heart and reported a number: "Thirty million money!" ”

Han Wangran nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then pass on the widow's order, the people of Yingchuan County can complete the reclamation of Qianmo before spring ploughing, and each family will be rewarded with twenty yuan!" ”

Han Ying was suddenly dumbfounded, one has so much money in the treasury, and the other King Han has such a resolute attitude. (To be continued......)
