Chapter 148: A Matter of Attitude (I)

The Xintian Law was first implemented in Sanchuan and Nanyang counties, because of the tough attitude of Fan Sui, the imperial historian, and because of the powerful county governors appointed by Han Wangran, the restoration of the Jingtian system and the abolition of slavery were thoroughly implemented.

The two counties belonged to the Qin State before, and both carried out preliminary reforms, and there was not much left of slavery in the first place, and after Fan Sui implemented the new law, slavery completely disappeared. In order to prevent the Qin counterattack, Korea has hoarded heavy troops in these two counties, and the blood that has not yet been shed still shows the strength of Korea. According to this reasoning, another part of the Xintian Law, the restoration of the Ida system, should also be smooth. But this is not the case.

What the Qin State implemented in the two counties was the abolition of the well-field system, that is, allowing the sale and purchase of land and recognizing the private ownership of land. This pandered to the emerging landowning class and greatly contributed to their power. The situation in Nanyang is not typical, after all, the Qin State occupied Nanyang for less than ten years, and the influence of Qin Law was not so far-reaching. Although Fan Sui's practice of restoring the Jingtian system in Nanyang attracted some criticism, the landlord class, which had military power in hand and was weak, still cooperated with it with interest.

However, the situation in Sanchuan is far more complicated, because because of the earthquake relief in June, the people of Sanchuan are full of hope and desire for the new law. However, Qin's decades-long rule had created a new landowning class that raised private soldiers to contend with local governments. In their view, the law does not blame the people, and if they compromise in the face of the new law, then they will suddenly revert to a slightly richer merchant, and no longer a local tycoon.

In order to prevent the implementation of the new law, they have resorted to many means. In contrast, the officials who drove Fan Sui to the county to carry out the law reform were only the mildest means, murder, poisoning, obstruction, discord, bribery, all the means that could be used.

Messengers traveled between Yique and Xinzheng. The Imperial Historian's Mansion continues to get strange cases of a certain official dying of illness, a certain official returning to his hometown when he is sick, and a certain official disappearing mysteriously. Even, some bold local wealthy families openly opposed the Xintian Law and raised evil slaves. Siege of the county government.

For such a thing, Fan Sui's reaction was as resolute and decisive as ever. Those who oppose the Xintian Law will be imprisoned, and those suspected of murdering and threatening officials will be killed.

From September to October, more than 300 heads tumbled on the banks of the mighty Yishui, and these opponents proved with their lives that the majesty of the new law could not be violated, and even if some extremists raised troops to attack the city, it only proved that the dignity of South Korea should not be offended. Their behavior is nothing more than a mantis arm as a car, and they can't do anything about it.

After the incident in Sanchuan County, Yingchuan and Shangdang were in an uproar. Some people reprimanded "Zhang Lu" for his injustice, some people accused the tyranny of King Han, and they were especially afraid that South Korea would evolve into a country of tigers and wolves like Qin. In this case, the surviving nobles realized that if their side no longer made a decision, if they obeyed and tolerated the new law, they could only completely lose the last possibility of resistance. That is, in such a situation. Zongzheng Han Xin put forward the slogan of the Qing monarch's side.

Xinzheng, Han Wanggong.

Han Wangran looked at the various pieces of information collected by the spies sent out in a daze.

After the first war, the state of Chu and the state of Qi suffered a great loss of vitality. At present, only 50,000 people are stationed on the front line of the anti-Qi resistance. However, if you know the fact that there are only more than 200,000 soldiers in the Chu State, you will not be surprised. In order to restore its strength to the best of its ability and deal with the threat from the Qin State in the west and the Qi State in the north, the Chu State continued to play the game of catching savages. For Yancheng, which Qin State voluntarily abandoned, Chu State sent troops to receive it as soon as possible. But alas. A fire that Bai Qi let go before leaving completely shattered the good wishes of the people of Chu. The state of Chu is now busy repairing Yancheng.

Regarding the current changes in South Korea, Chu Guo has an indifferent attitude. Whether South Korea is strong or weak has nothing to do with it. The State of Chu was most concerned about when to defeat the State of Qin once and boost the hearts of the people. and when the Qi State can be driven back and the Huaisi Valley can be recovered.

The monarchs and ministers of Wei were cautious, and it is an indisputable fact that the Qin State prospered because of the Shang Dynasty reforms. This time, South Korea copied most of the contents of the Shang Dynasty reform, but removed the tyranny in it, such as Lian Zai and Zhu Lian, and put on a beautiful cloak -- benevolent government and love for the people. At the same time, the land was nationalized and the emerging landlord class was attacked.

Wei didn't know if Korea would become the next Qin State, and he didn't know if Han Wangran would be the next Wei Wenhou, so he was very worried. You must know that it is not a good thing for neighbors who are originally weaker than themselves to become stronger, which not only represents the loss of the right to speak, but more importantly, the cake allocated by Wei will become smaller and smaller.

Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling, had visited Xinzheng in May to strengthen ties with South Korea, which was the western barrier of Wei. Because of the relationship between Hedong County, once something happens, Korea will become the most reliable backup for Wei. When Wei Wuji arrived, it was just as the whole of Korea was talking about the new law. This kind of discussion is so intense that you can skip three meals a day, but you must not be ignorant of the new law.

The common people are mostly welcoming to this, and the nobles of the wealthy clan are fiercely opposed, even when the king of Xinling came, the title of Shaofu Hanwen was stripped of his title, and there were many nobles who were dissatisfied with the new law. At that time, Xin Lingjun not only admired Han Wangran's courage to change the status quo, but also sighed that within three years, South Korea should not have much contradiction with himself.

Between seeking stability and strength, Han Wangran chose the latter. It's hard to say whether this choice is right or not, but it shows Han Wangran's courage. Xin Lingjun also wanted to do the same, to revive the great reputation of Wei Wushu, but it was feasible for the equally young Wei king to choose to be conservative.

Yan Guo is much friendlier to South Korea's new law, after all, in late October, the only princess Ji Miao will marry South Korea. King Yan's marriage is scheduled for mid-October, with the backing of Zhao Guo and South Korea, and the young King Yan has a sense of pride in the world. Perhaps in order to re-establish a new style, or perhaps it was a momentary itch, King Yan rebuilt the Golden Platform in Wuyang City, wanting to attract talents from all over the world to come and defect.

The State of Qi is an undercurrent, and after taking the State of Lu, the State of Qi seems to be a little overwhelmed. The distribution of benefits always leads to a lot of quarrels, especially the nine ministers of the King of Qi are really not peaceful people, in order to make as much profit as possible, they frame the ministers and accept bribes. Tian Dan couldn't tolerate it anymore, so he united all the ministers who had suffered losses and acted excessively to jointly write a letter and take down these nine ministers. The king of Qi did not agree at first, but he couldn't stand the queen's pillow wind who was bought by Tiandan, and still ordered the execution of nine ministers. Although on the surface there is harmony between the monarchs and ministers, in fact, because of Tian Dan's strength, a rift between King Qi and Tian Dan has already arisen.

After Lu Zhonglian's advice, Qi finally made up his mind to recuperate and no longer participate in the war in the Central Plains. This also leads to Qi Guo completely ignoring South Korea's new law, and Qi Guo does not care whether it is a success or a failure. Anyway, far away from the Wei State, it doesn't matter how chaotic South Korea is.

Zhao Guo's attitude is a little subtle, it is obvious that South Korea is taking an unusual road, this road may be as bumpy as the one taken by Qin State, but it can reach the peak, and it may seem bright, but in fact it is not far from a cliff. Zhao Guo actually hopes that South Korea will be an honest thug and occasionally give South Korea a little meat to taste, but due to the alliance, Zhao Guo can't make a move to explicitly oppose it. King Zhao could only give the building yƬ tactfully and majestically, and the king of Han put the temple as the priority, and worked hard to maintain and stabilize the situation.

Ironically, when Han Wangran received this letter, the execution of more than 300 wealthy families was being carried out on the shore of Yishui. Han Wangran just smiled, and then burned King Zhao's letter.

Qin's attitude was particularly intense. After the pain of uprooting the power of Gongzi City, King Qin vigorously promoted a group of young capable ministers, and the atmosphere of the government and the opposition was boosted. Let's turn our gaze to three days ago, at Xianyang Palace.

In the Xianyang Palace, King Qin looked around the ministers majestically and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the whole of Korea is now following the example of my Great Qin's Shang Ying Reform, what do you think of this matter?" ā€

Wei Ran, who luckily proved his "innocence", is still the prime minister of the Qin State above 10,000 people, but he has become more sleek and accidental, he knows very well that now the court is full of Qin King's henchmen, and his henchmen and ministers are either transferred out of Xianyang, or they are given very noble titles but lose real power.

Bai Qi's situation is also very similar, he is still the "god of war" of the Qin State, and the owner of the highest position of military general, "Da Liangzao", but the king has completely taken back the military power. Since Gongzi City was cut in the East City, the Qin State only allowed one voice to appear, and that was the King of Qin, and the previous situation of Bai Qi, Wei Ran, Empress Dowager Xuan, Gongzi City and others controlling the government was gone forever. In the face of the scheming King Qin, the only thing all the old ministers can do is to protect themselves.

Facing the silent Wei Ran and Bai Qi, King Qin showed a satisfied smile. After 34 years of patience, I finally have the power in my hands. The biggest trouble of the henchmen - Gongzi City no longer exists, and the Empress Dowager Xuan, who is tied to herself, has completely delegated power to herself, and the position of the crown prince has also been completely granted to her beloved son, and these wishes have all been realized. If there is only one dissatisfaction, it is the decline of Qin's national power.

Retracting his thoughts, King Qin said to his second son, Prince Zhu: "It has been half a year since the prince opened the mansion, and now the widow will take the school examination for you, will this change in South Korea be successful?" (To be continued......)
