Qin Guoxiong looked at the world, fought against the six countries of Shandong, with one enemy and six, the stronger the more he fought, and played a brilliant tomorrow.

In terms of land and cities, the Six Kingdoms of Shandong were much larger than those of Qin; In terms of population, the six states of Shandong were much more numerous than those of Qin; In terms of wealth, the six kingdoms of Shandong do not know how many times more than the Qin state......

It was such a huge gap that the Qin State still won and finally unified China.

Why?

It's just four words: political clarity!

The reason why the Qin State was able to maintain political clarity was that starting from Qin Xiaogong, the four generations of monarchs of Qin Huiwen, Qin Wu and Qin Zhao were all through hardships and deaths, understood the people's sufferings, and knew the gains and losses of Qin's politics, and the statecraft they adopted was very symptomatic.

This is an important reason why the Qin state has always been able to maintain its strength. From the beginning of Qin Xiaogong's reform to Qin Shi Huang's unification of China, the Qin State has experienced a total of seven generations of monarchs, and has not suffered hardships, nor has experienced nine deaths and a lifetime, only Qin Yiren's father wins the pillar.

Yingzhu Zhisu has not been able to endure hardships, and he has not experienced the ordeal of nine deaths and a lifetime, because his body is too weak, he is a famous sick man at that time, how dare he go through the ordeal, and it doesn't cost his life?

Qin Yi hostage Zhao has been hostage for several years, and there is no need to say anything about the torture he has endured, he has not collapsed, he has not gone insane, he has not gone crazy, this is already very amazing.

Qin Shi Huang has lived in Zhao since he was a child, because Qin Yiren left Zhao and secretly returned to China, he was not less troubled by Zhao State, which also honed him.

Among the seven generations of monarchs of the Qin State, the most representative is not Qin Xiaogong, but King Qin Huiwen. Because he was the first person to jump out against Shang Ying's reform, and was punished by Shang Yang for this. He was kicked out by Qin Xiaogong. He fended for more than ten years in the Qin state. To say hate. He hated Shang Ying to the core, if there was no Shang Ying, he would not have suffered so much, and he would not have suffered so much.

What is unexpected is that he just broke the Shang martingale, and did not abolish the law of the Shang monarch.

Not only did he not abolish the law of Shang Jun, but also strengthened the law of Shang Ying: first, he uprooted and completely eradicated those conservative forces who opposed Shang Ying's law. After the car cracked the martingale. Those old-fashioned forces rejoiced, thinking that King Qin Huiwen would definitely abolish the law of the Shang monarch, and the Qin State would go back to the past, and their good days would come. These conservative forces couldn't help but jump out, and to their surprise, what awaited them was the ruthless butcher's knife of King Qin Huiwen, killing them cleanly.

Second, King Qin Huiwen comprehensively promoted the new law in Longxi and Hexi, where the Shang Dynasty had not implemented the new law, and promoted the law of the Shang monarch to the whole country.

King Qin Huiwen went from being a staunch opponent of the law of the Shang monarch to eventually becoming a staunch supporter of the law of the Shang monarch. Why? Because he has been among the Qin people for more than ten years, he has witnessed the great changes in the Qin state. I saw with my own eyes that the Qin State went from a weak country that was "poor and white" and would be destroyed by the Wei State at any time to become a first-class warring state in one fell swoop, and looked at the world majestically.

He deeply knew that the law of the Shang monarch was completely aimed at the disadvantages of the Qin State, and only the law of the Shang Jun could save the Qin State and make the Qin State stronger.

Qin Yi hostage Zhao has been a hostage for several years, although he has suffered a lot and tempered him, however, he does not know much about the national conditions of Qin, and he needs to carefully observe the suffering of the people of Qin. Only in this way can he better govern the Qin State.

In the minds of Huan Qi and Meng Wei, Qin Yiren is the best heir to the monarch of Qin, and letting Qin Yiren follow the path of their ancestors and understand the people's sufferings of Qin is of great help to Qin Yiren, and they agree with ten thousand.

"That's good." Qin Yiren has an excellent relationship with Meng Wu, and with him by his side, there is naturally no problem.

"You go back to Xianyang first, and I'll come back later." Qin Yiren said to Zhao Ji.

"No!" Zhao Ji shook his head and said, "Don't forget, I'm also from Qin, I'm from Zhao Qin." When I return to the Qin Kingdom, I will return to the land of my ancestors, and of course I will go and see it. ”

Zhao Ji's ancestors were also Qin tribesmen, who were scattered during the reign of Qin Xianggong and exiled to Zhao State, becoming "Zhao Qin people". Although she had never set foot on the land of Qin, in her mind, the land of Qin was the place where her ancestors lived, and she wanted to see it.

"Hmm." Qin Yiren thought for a while and said, "It's not impossible for you to go, it's just that it's going to be very hard all the way down." ”

"People aren't afraid." Zhao Ji didn't think about it, and blurted out.

"In that case, let's do it." Qin Yiren raised his eyebrows and said, "I'll take Meng Zhao, Ma Gai, Fan Tong, Lu Jujian, Mo'er, and Meng Wu." ”

"You don't need to bring Mo'er, with a girl, can you still be an unannounced visit? People will do these things. Zhao Ji objected.

Qin Yiren glanced at Zhao Ji, saw that she was very serious, and nodded, "Okay then." We pretended to be a couple. I have to change my name, and my name will be Zhao Yi. ”

The idea must be that if he changed his body, Qin Yiren became Zhao Yi, and set off with Zhao Ji, Meng Zhao, Ma Gai, Fan Tong, Lu Jujian and Meng Wu.

Bidding farewell to Meng Fu and Huan Qi, he left Hangu Pass and went on a small road.

Although this trail is not as spacious as the avenue from Hanguguan to Xianyang, it is very smooth and strong, and it shows the perseverance and strength of the Qin people everywhere.

The sound of cars and the sound of horses' hooves made Qin Yiren and his party look at the surrounding situation while hurrying away.

"We're finally back. It's finally back! Meng Zhao, Ma Gai and Fan Tong were unspeakably excited, tears rolling in their eyes.

They followed Qin Yi hostage Zhao, and they went for several years, dying nine times for a lifetime, almost not coming back, and dying in a foreign land. Now, they have finally returned to Qin, and the excitement in their hearts is far beyond what can be described by pen and ink.

Thinking about the beginning, a total of ten of them went to confront Zhao with Qin Yiren, but now, only the three of them turned around, and the remaining seven people all starved to death.

"Meng Zhao, Ma Gai, Fan Tong, let me go back to Xianyang, I will give you a holiday, let you go back to reunite with your family." Tears rolled in Qin Yiren's eyes, and the memories of the past were about to come up, and those days when he was deeply persecuted in Zhao State emerged one after another. Meng Zhao, Ma Gai and Fan Tong were loyal and unyielding in those hopeless days, defending Qin Yiren everywhere, which made people both moved and sour.

"Gongzi Xie." After being away from home for several years, nine deaths, and finally returning to the Qin State, who doesn't want to return home to visit their parents, wife and children? Meng Zhao, Ma Gai and Fan Tong were pleasantly surprised.

"Also, when you return home, I will give you a sum of money to settle the families of the seven brothers who died in a foreign land." Qin Yiren's mind came up with the scene of the seven sharp soldiers starving to death, and the tears could no longer hold back and flowed down.

These seven warriors were loyal and unyielding, and they did not betray them until they died. Before they died, they were still encouraging Qin Yiren, asking Qin Yiren to persevere, and they would definitely be able to return to Qin.

How rare is it to be so loyal in the days when there is no hope and no future? No amount of praise can be overstated.

"Gongzi Xie! Xie Gongzi! Qin Yiren could think of these seven dead warriors and want to settle their families, which warmed people's hearts more than any beautiful words, and the three of Meng Zhao were excited, and thanked them vigorously.

The atmosphere was a little sad, everyone was silent, and no one spoke.

"Ahh This is the State of Qin, much better than the State of Zhao, much better. Lu Jujian, who was a big ghost, rolled his eyes, raised his throat and shouted, "Childe, look, there are a lot of people there." ”

Lu Jujian is a native of Handan, a native of Zhao, a slave of the Zhao State, and it was Qin Yiren who gave him a free body and made him a countryman, and he was grateful to Qin Yiren. At the same time, he also yearns for the Qin State, and wants to come to the Qin State to take a look, and now, when he sets foot on the land of the Qin State, he is very curious, a pair of eyes turn around, looking around, and he looks like his eyes are not enough.

"There are a lot of people." With Lu Jujian adjusting the atmosphere, the dullness was swept away, Qin Yiren looked in the direction Lu Jujian pointed out, it turned out that there was a village in front of him, and in a huge open space, many people were gathering.

"Let's go! Check it out. "It seems that something has happened, and Qin Yiren's curiosity has been aroused, and he wants to take a look.

The crowd had no objection and immediately rushed away.

Qin Yiren's eyes widened and he looked around, this village is not small, there are hundreds of houses, and the tiles account for six or seven percent, and the thatched houses are only three or four percent. Although it is not as full of vasher as Hangu Pass, it is still commendable.

Qin's wealth can be seen from these tiles.

"Someone is coming. Dare to ask where the guests are coming from? Some Qin people found Qin Yiren and them, and they came up and asked enthusiastically.

"We are from Shandong, and we want to seek employment in Qin, so we don't go around here, and choose a place to seek employment." Qin Yiren smiled and returned the salute.

"It turned out that he was a scholar from Shandong, and Mr. was a learned person. Come in. Qin Ren warmly greeted Qin Yiren and his entourage: "Tea is coming!" Tea is coming! ”

Immediately, a Qin person offered hot tea, Qin Yiren thanked him, took it in his hand, and asked with a smile: "There are many people around here today, what's the matter?" ”

"What a coincidence, sir. Today is the day of the cattle inspection. Qin Ren hurriedly replied.

"Cattle inspection?" Qin Yiren was greatly surprised, this statement was too fresh, he hadn't heard it yet: "What is good about cows?" ”

Qin Ren's face immediately sank, and he looked at Qin Yiren all the time, a little displeased, and the enthusiasm of Shicai was no longer there, and said: "I see that you look like a scholar, a learned person, how can you be so ignorant of folk affairs?" We Daqin, pursue cattle farming, this cattle are more expensive than gold, if you can't raise them well, how can you still farm? ”

Ox farming, for us modern people, that is synonymous with backwardness, we are all using mechanization, who is using oxen to plough the land?

However, during the Warring States period, cattle farming was an extremely important production technology and was very advanced. Looking at the whole world, only the Qin State attaches great importance to cattle farming and fully implements it in the Qin State. In addition, the Qin State also wrote the protection of cultivated cattle into the Qin Law, which was inspected by the official once a year.

If this year's cattle are stronger than last year's, then the head of the family can be rewarded and even some taxes reduced.

If this year's cattle are thinner than last year's, then the head of the house will be punished. This punishment is not too severe, nor too light, and is generally a cane reprimand, depending on how thin the cow is.

It is precisely because of such perfect protection measures that the Qin people attach great importance to the cultivated cattle and cherish them like their ancestors, which is an important reason for the prosperity and strength of the Qin state.

"I really don't know the national situation of Qin, so I have to pay a good visit this time." Qin Yiren not only didn't get angry, but reminded himself. (To be continued.) )
