Chapter 12 Opening Positions for Disaster Relief
Wei Zhe nodded appreciatively, and said to Li Si and Han Fei: "The two virtuous nephews came from afar, and they didn't bring any entourage along the way, so they can be regarded as having some experience, I don't know if they can gain anything?" ”
Li Si and Han Fei glanced at each other, and their surprise flashed. Obviously, his every move, at least his whereabouts after leaving Tongguan and entering the customs, the other party knows it clearly! If the two of them swagger through the market and go on a rampage, I'm afraid that if they haven't seen each other yet, they will be ordered to go back by their master!
When the two of them received an order from their master Xun Guo to defect to Wei Zhe, they decided to use donkeys to travel. The reason is very simple, the carriage and horse are too comfortable, the walking is too slow, and the donkey can just control the speed, which is not only convenient for observing the people's feelings, but also can exercise their ability to deal with things. Now it seems that such a choice is undoubtedly the right one.
As a senior brother, Li Si said unyieldingly: "The student has gained a little, and please ask the adult to advise!" ”
"I want to hear about it!" Wei Zhe put on a listening look.
"The students started from Daliang and traveled westward, passing through Dongjun, Yingchuan, Sanchuan, and Tianshui until Yongcheng. The place passed, in addition to Tianshui, can be called the political and harmonious, the people live and work in peace and contentment, this Cheng Wang and the county officials are also meritorious! Tianshui was taken from Qin, the people's livelihood withered, and the people were miserable, the reason for this was that Qin was weak and Han was strong, Qin could not keep its land, and the war started. Therefore, the students believe that governing the people for the government is to benefit one side, but if the people under the rule are to be peaceful and free from the suffering of war, the country must be rich and strong. If the country is weak, it will lead other countries to covet it, and no matter how close the governor of the state and county is to the people, it is just a flash in the pan, not a long-term way! The countries of the world are fighting endlessly, and all they want is the word "profit". As the saying goes, the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit. If there is no more war in the world, there must be one country to unify the world. Otherwise, today I will occupy three cities of the Qin State, and tomorrow the Qin State will take five of my cities, and the melee will never end! Li Si said eloquently. In his words, it was implied that Tianshui County was not on the right track, and it could not be called a political person.
"Well, Xia Wei is not benevolent, and Shang Tang seeks his country; Shang was unjust, and King Wu cut down Shang and prospered Zhou. Now that the Great Zhou Dynasty has enjoyed the country for 800 years, the number of qi has been exhausted, if you want to end this troubled era and keep the people of the world from the suffering of war, you really need a country to sweep away the princes of the world! Look at the princes of the world. There is no one who is more benevolent and righteous than the king, and there is no one who is stronger than Korea, this is God's resource, we will serve the king, and we should do our best to help the king unify the United States as soon as possible! Wei Zhe said softly.
Seeing that Wei Zhe was noncommittal about his accusations, Li Si began to wonder if he was saying too subtlely, and was just about to say it explicitly. was interrupted by Han Fei's words.
"Students also have gains, and I hope that adults will advise!" Han Fei took the lead.
"But it doesn't hurt to say it!" Wei Zhe replied.
The student thought. The country is impermanently strong, and impermanent is weak. Those who follow the law are strong, and the country is strong; If those who follow the law are weak, the country will be weak. The king of Chu Zhuang died twenty times out of twenty, and expanded the territory by three thousand miles, but after the death of the king of Chuzhuang, the state of Chu was weak; Duke Qi Huan died thirty years ago. opened up the territory and expanded the territory for 3,000 miles, but Duke Huan died and the Qi country was weak; King Yan Zhao pacified Zhongshan and conquered Linzi, and the world was shocked, and it was time. Those who have the support of the Yan State will be valued, and those without the support of the Yan State will be looked down upon, and then King Zhao will be defeated when Yan dies; Today, these countries have declined, and the reason is that after the death of the Ming monarch, the courtiers focused on chaos but not on governing the country. The reason why South Korea can become the world's largest power in just 10 years is that we can strictly implement the new law, and if we can learn the lessons of Chu, Qi, and Yan, we can go further on the basis of maintaining hegemony! ”
"But the students have also heard about it", Han Fei's tone changed, and he said: "Although the country is warlike and will die, such as the Qin State, with the land of fifteen counties and millions of people, go out to conquer the countries, the world is not afraid of Qin, but only ten years, the land and population of Qin do not exist in five, and the world will not laugh at Qin!" The reason is all about a greedy word! If the Qin State does not imprison and kill the King of Yiqu, there will be no rebellion in the Yiqu Kingdom! If Qin State does not persecute Gongzi City, there will be no rebellion in Gongzi City! If the Qin State fights steadily and steadily, if it is not to raise the war with war, with the danger of Guanzhong, and the wisdom of the ministers, the world will not be able to match it! ”
"The students traveled all the way west and did not taste anything wrong! The people are happy to live in peace, willing to die for the king, and care about governing the people according to the law. Now, if you want to implement a new law in Liangzhou, you should be benevolent-based and law-based, so you can do your best! Han Fei said the final idea of governing Liangzhou, which is also where Wei Zhe really wants to take the school entrance examination!
"What is Ben?" Wei Zhe asked, benevolence and law have always been preached in South Korea, and it is very simple to say that they are based on them, but how to do it is not something that can be explained clearly in a few words.
Han Fei said: "The law of the Qin State is a heavy punishment for minor crimes. Under heavy punishment, people will not dare to offend; And small mistakes are easy to get rid of. It is in line with the principle of governing the country to enable people to correct the small mistakes they tend to make and not to commit heavy punishments. Since small mistakes are not committed, there are no more major sins. In this way, people will no longer sin and there will be no trouble. Now that the Qin law has penetrated into the hearts of the people in Guanzhong, why don't you follow it? In the process of implementation, the extra parts of the new law will be implemented one by one? For example, lending grain. ”
Wei Zhe stroked his palms and laughed, glanced at Li Si and Han Fei, and said: "Benevolence and righteousness are out of their hearts, but the two virtuous nephews blame the officials for not being considerate of the people of Liangzhou?" ”
Li Si and Han Fei hurriedly said: "Students don't dare!" But the look of bewilderment on their faces betrayed their true thoughts.
Wei Zhe let out a long sigh, explained the reason, and said, "The two virtuous nephews think that it is easier to add icing on the cake or easier to send charcoal in the snow?" ”
Li Si and Han Fei looked at each other, obviously, of course, it was easy to add icing on the cake, but it was difficult to send charcoal in the snow. When a person is proud, relatives and friends want to come to get a piece of the pie and get some benefits, when a person loses power, his friends are eager to get rid of the relationship with him, how can they help him! It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but what does this have to do with compassion for the people of Liangzhou?
Looking at the other party's expression, Wei Zhe knew that the other party had not yet understood the meaning of his words, so he said: "If someone is poor and you go to help him, although the other party has accepted your kindness, he may think that even without you, there will be others to help him through his sadness!" If the other party is desperate and is about to starve to death, you come forward to help him at this time, but he must be grateful to you! ”
Li Si and Han Fei suddenly realized that if this strategy was used in the art of war, it could be called a desire to capture the old man. Everyone knows that this year's harvest in Guanzhong was not good, and the Qin State almost requisitioned most of the grain from the people's homes. With the Qin State trapped to the east of Jingshui, the people of the Qin State in Liangzhou were abandoned. The longer their difficult days passed, the more they hated Qin, and their help to Korea would turn from taking it for granted at the beginning to being grateful.
At the beginning, in order to establish authority for the new law, Shang Ying erected a wood at the south gate. Wei Zhe's move is to subdue the hearts of tens of thousands of people in Liangzhou in one fell swoop! Its significance is far more than Shang Ying's act of standing wood. After this incident, the people of Liangzhou have tasted the benefits of the new law, and they will definitely support the new law in every way.
"Students are taught!" Li Si and Han Fei were deeply convinced, it seems that the master sent himself over to help Wei Zhe, in fact, he wanted to learn more from Wei Zhe! Yangju is definitely one of the most complex states in South Korea, and only in a complex environment can you learn the most practical knowledge!
At this time, an assistant official walked in and said to Wei Zhe: "My lord, the Tianshui County Guard sent someone to report and ask if he would open a warehouse for disaster relief tomorrow!" ”
Wei Zhe looked at the heavy snow outside the door, glanced back at Li Si and Han Xin, and said with a smile: "Open!" Why don't you open it?! Pass on the official's order, Tianshui counties will open warehouses tomorrow for grain relief! Longxi and Beidi counties can also open a warehouse for disaster relief after five days! ”
"Whoa!" The official of the Assassin's Mansion retreated cautiously.
Soon, the news that the government will open a warehouse for disaster relief tomorrow spread all over the streets and alleys of Tianshui County, and many people looked at the children who were waiting to be fed at home or the old people with yellow faces and thin muscles and shed tears of excitement. No one knows how much food will be distributed, and no one knows if there will be food when it is their turn, but this news is like a light in the darkness, illuminating everyone's hearts.
The villagers, the chief, and the pavilion chief became the busiest people, and countless people went to their homes to inquire about the details of the grain, but they didn't know more details except that they learned that the grain would be distributed in "li" units, and the time was tomorrow afternoon!
The people returned disappointed, but they all made up their minds to come to line up early tomorrow morning, even if the grain and grass distributed by the government were limited, those in the front line could be more sure of the life-saving food.
The food was distributed at the scheduled lunchtime, but three hours before that, people began to wait at the scheduled place. Everyone watched the arrival of life-saving food and grass, but no one dared to have the slightest idea to rob it, the Han army with guns and swords was not so easy to deal with, not to mention, the harshness of the Qin law was deeply rooted in the hearts of every Qin people, and the people were almost all subconsciously afraid of the government.
When the official in charge of distributing grain announced that each family would receive grain according to the population, a family of five could receive about four and a half stones of corn, and it was already the middle of the lunar month, which was enough to support until the end of May! After all, the hardest thing is the cold winter wax moon, once it enters March, everything recovers, the wild vegetables in the fields, the fish and shrimp in the river can be satisfied, if calculated properly, four and a half stones of corn can even make a family of five eat for half a year! And by that time, the summer grain had already been harvested!
Of course, if you want to set aside the seeds for cultivation, such a little food is a little less. But Wei Zhe has been preparing for so long, how could he not take this issue into account?! Thus, after the rations were distributed according to the population, the seeds were allocated according to the area of land cultivated by each family. However, compared to rations, the distribution of seeds comes at a cost, and after the summer harvest, twice the amount is returned! But even so, it is far better than the "usury" offered by local tycoons! (To be continued......)
