Originally, a grand event for the nobles to celebrate the regain of power became a disease for the nobles as the Duke of Qin personally drove for Gongsun Ying. /. The nobles of a bit of status in Liyang gathered in Zongzheng Mansion, surrounding Lao Zongzheng, Fusang, Du Zhi, Ganlong, Gongsun Jia, Gongzi Qian, and chattering. Du Zhi and Gan Long were like outsiders, closing their eyes and contemplating silently on the table. Lao Zongzheng took the bamboo slips on the official case, opened them from time to time and rolled them up, and then opened them again with repeated actions to hide his worries. Fu Sang is the direct culprit, the whole thing of killing the martingale was bewitched by him, the old man in his sixties, his body was still tall on the seat, and he looked at Gongsun Jia and Gongzi Qian with a bright look. Gongsun Jia, the mastermind of this matter, and Gongzi Qian, the executor, were both impatient with everyone's quarrel, and in the end, Gongzi Qian raised his voice and shouted: "Quiet, quiet!" ”

"Quiet fart? Everyone was rescued by the lord. The wrath of the lord will come at us tomorrow, how can we be quiet? ”

"We are all instigated by you, and we are about to be implicated by you, can we be quiet?"

"I said a long time ago: This man can't be killed, you want to kill! The lord's five doctors, can you kill them? ”

"No noise, no noise! When is it? Hear what they have in mind! ”

At this time, Gongsun Jia stood up, arched his hands in a circle around him, bowed his waist, straightened his waist, and said with a resolute voice: "Everyone! At this point, turmoil is inevitable, so it can be forgiven. But if you don't have the same heart and want to escape, you are destroying your future, giving up your own power, and turning yourself into a leader and a slave, which is absolutely unforgivable.

Ladies and gentlemen! We must recognize the form clearly in order to have a sober and correct judgment. Ladies and gentlemen! The lord will definitely not give up on the matter of the five doctors we want to kill him this time, and the thunder fire will definitely find us to erupt. The result of this eruption is nothing more than to further suppress us and strengthen the rights and status of Gongsun Ying, the guest secretary, so as to ensure the smooth implementation of the original order of the lord.

Ladies and gentlemen! This result doesn't matter to us at first glance, anyway, this initial order is only in the reclamation area, and it does not damage our magnates and fiefdoms. At most, we will be reprimanded or punished by the lord, is there anything fatal, what are we afraid of? But when you think about it, a year, two years, or even years, you'll be terrified! It turns out that the future is so scary.

Afraid of what? Ladies and gentlemen! If Gongsun Martingale had successfully implemented the initial order in the reclamation area, with 200,000 people, 12,000 troops, and two years, he would have opened up 200,000 acres of fertile land, with an annual output of 2 million mu of grain and 500,000 horses of spinning and hemp weaving a year, he would have been able to provide 700,000 people with food a year and 1 million people with clothing a year. ”

When the nobles heard such a huge wealth, the "boo" sound actually shook the hall and buzzed.

Gongsun Jia waited for the boos to settle before continuing to incite: "Even you are so surprised by this wealth, what will the lord do after he obtains it, then what will Qin Min do after he obtains it?" There is only one thought: that is, this is the first order. It is the best strategy to strengthen Qin and enrich the country. It should be implemented immediately in the whole of Qin and with all its might. Whoever opposes it is a sinner of the whole Qin, a sinner who destroys the restoration of the ancestral industry of the lord and regains the great cause of Hexi, and will be punished. Two years later, everyone, who else dares to come out and oppose Gongsun Ying's implementation of the first order in the whole of Qin? ”

Speaking of this, Gongsun Jia smiled coldly and continued: "Then what if you don't object? With the full support of the lord and the support of the people of Qin, Gongsun Martingale smoothly implemented his first order in Qin. The result is: in less than two years, he can use the first order, in all places in Qin, with unswerving support and implementation of the first order, to establish an unbreakable government rule to govern the whole Qin, from then on, the Qin state will move towards farming, war power, rich people to make the world salty, so that the Son of Heaven to the uncle, the recovery of Hexi within ten years. ”

When everyone heard this, there was an "ah" sound, and there was a light of hope in their eyes, and their faces showed infinite fascination.

But Gongsun Jia burst into laughter, and after attracting everyone, he said miserably: "What a beautiful prospect! That is the hope that our ancestors and we have dreamed of since we came to Mugong. But, everyone! The only thing we have to do to make this dream come true, to make this hope a reality, is to raise our hands and surrender. Give up the magnates, fiefs, estates, and slaves in our hands, and demote ourselves to the head of the Qian, so that the slaves will also be promoted to the head of the Qian. Everyone is the same, under the etiquette of the first order, they fight for their lives to carry out the orders of Gongsun Marting. Please consider! Those who are willing to realize the dream of a strong country will show their mentality to the lord tomorrow, and they can leave now. If you don't want to lose yourself, you will express your position now, and tomorrow you will work together to oppose Gongsun Marting. ”

After speaking, he slowly sat down and stopped making a sound.

Everyone present was silent for a while, and the entire hall was as silent as death, with only wheezing and coughing sounds from time to time.

Ultimately. It was still Fusang and Gongzi Qian who stood up together and shouted in a deep voice: "I don't want to give up." ”

This shout brought a large number of shouts that followed, and for a while, the entire lobby was filled with shouts of "unwillingness". Even no one shouted, and none of them left the lobby.

Gongsun Jia stood up again at this time, and after bowing his hand to everyone, he said with a slight smile: "Since we are not willing to give up our family for the country, then we will work together to get along: that is, to protect the family and the country." What do you think? ”

When the people on the field heard that there was such a good plan, they were all greatly relieved for a while, and looked at Gongsun Jia with their eyes.

Gongsun Jia glanced at the audience with his eyes at this time, and then said slowly: "My strategy is: the law does not blame the public. Tomorrow, for the sake of our homeland and the preservation of the powerful, we can only form a group in front of the lord, insisting that it is right for us to kill the guest according to the law of our ancestors, and there is no intention of harming the lord's five doctors. It's just to maintain the ancestral rituals for thousands of years, not to kill Gongsun Martingale. Just one point to keep in mind! We want to kill the guest who violates the ancestral system, not the specific person. As for the specific person that the lord wants to save is because the lord thinks that this person must be saved, and it is a privilege to act according to the laws of the ancestors, so the Zongzheng Mansion and all the nobles think that as long as it conforms to the etiquette system, we will support it. Therefore, we are law-abiding when we kill Keqing. The lord is a specific person who is Gongsun Marting, and he is also law-abiding. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with it. Since there is no mistake, the matter is closed. ”

When everyone heard this, they all breathed a long sigh of relief, and responded in unison: "Good! ”

Only Fu Sang mentioned: "Prince Master! Although this plan allowed me to avoid the wrath of the lord, it still did not solve the problem of Gongsun Ying's monopoly on the power to change the law, and he took the lead in the reclamation area. Two years from now, won't we still face the catastrophe of annihilation? ”

Gongsun Jia replied lightly: "Yes." Therefore, we also have to use this matter to no longer pursue the concession in exchange for the right to govern the reclamation area. How to change? The reason is ready-made, our aristocratic army and aristocratic officials, in the reclamation area and immigration, are all good, which proves that the nobles of the lord also have the ability to strengthen the country and enrich the people. Therefore, we propose to the lord that the southern part of the existing reclamation area be divided into the governance of our nobles. We should compare ourselves with the leaders of Qian, promote each other, and see who has contributed more to the Lord. Our reason is: for the sake of strengthening Qin and the ancestral industry, our nobles follow closely with the lord and do not fall behind. Only then did the nobles understand, so they replied in a hurry: "For the sake of strengthening Qin and the ancestral industry, our nobles follow the lord closely and do not fall behind." ”
