The Great Zhou Dynasty was prosperous for seven years.

In the blink of an eye, nearly ten years have passed, and seven years have passed since Yang Chong became the king. In the past ten years, in the first three years, Yang Chong listened to Qin Yun's opinions, devoted himself to cultivating internal strength, accumulating grain, building high walls, and slowly becoming king, so as to develop Qingzhou. At the same time, in order to avoid becoming the target of public criticism, Yang Chong also listened to Qin Yun's advice, reduced the regular army, and further optimized the strength of the army, but the number of people became only about 70,000, which made many princes including Li Dong let down their guard, thinking that Yang Chong was just for self-preservation.

At the same time, Qin Yun used the tactics of Tibetan soldiers for the people, and trained many reserves and militias. In the past three years, almost every young man in Qingzhou has participated in military training, and once combined, it will be an incomparably powerful force.

Of course, Qin Yun did not relax, and the breakthrough of Wenlu also made Qin Yun understand the next step. There are also thousands of roads of literature and Taoism, and the specific path to take depends on the individual's choice, while Qin Yun chose the road of rules and systems, which can also be called 'law'!

In modern times, the system generally refers to the rules of affairs or codes of conduct that everyone is required to abide by, and also refers to the norms or certain specifications such as laws and regulations, customs and other norms formed under certain historical conditions. In different industries, different departments and different positions have their specific work guidelines, the purpose is to make the work according to the plan and requirements to achieve the expected goals.

Even in ancient times, there are many records. For example: Song Wang Anshi's "Material": "The so-called living beings, not only take the training and practice sentences to read, but also learn the ceremony, the Ming system" and "Yi Festival": "Heaven and earth festival, and the four seasons are completed." Saving the system does not hurt the money and the people. [Kong Yingda] Shu: "The king takes the system as the festival, uses it in a way, and when he serves, it will not hurt the wealth or harm the people" and so on.

In short, a clear system is also a clear law, which is the so-called 'law'.

This is also Qin Yun's path of Wendao!

In fact, when Qin Yun broke through, there were many different paths for Qin Yun to choose, including Taoism's freedom of leisure, Mohist's equality and love, and Confucianism's benevolence, forgiveness, sincerity, filial piety, and the integration of the five elements of Yin and Yang, all of which made Qin Yun deeply obsessed.

But in the end, Qin Yun followed his inner thoughts, and found that he had chosen the Legalist 'rule of law for people'. Qin Yun suddenly realized that the idea of the rule of law in modern society had already firmly penetrated the depths of his soul, and this is why he is now, not swallowed by desire, and has always firmly maintained a bottom line.

As we all know, Qin was originally a small country with relatively backward economy, politics and culture "isolated in Yongzhou", and had no right to participate in the affairs of the Central Plains countries, and was often despised by the princes of the Central Plains.

Legalist thought is rich in content and relatively complete in structure, including ethical thought, social development thought, political thought, rule of law thought and many other aspects, simple and practical. It stresses the spread of the law to the public, handling affairs according to law, having no hierarchy in punishment, and maintaining the stability of the law, which is necessary for any force to grow, but it is only a matter of how much it can really be implemented.

What's more, this is also the most conducive to Yang Chong's governance method for hegemony.

Sure enough, with Qin Yun taking the lead, most of the students of Zhengxin Academy were learning Legalist thoughts, so that Qingzhou under Yang Chong's command quickly burst out of its potential. It's just a little surprising that Qin Yun's eldest disciple Dong Xin also broke through Fanzhou, but he chose the path of Confucianism.

Because of this, there was a lot of discussion in the world, and Dong Xin was under a lot of pressure, and even his old mother almost broke off relations with him. In the end, it was Qin Yun who spoke, which solved Dong Xin's predicament, but Dong Xin was still regarded as a 'traitor' by the disciples of the Legalists.

The reason why Dong Xin is Qin Yun's eldest disciple, not the only disciple, is because Qin Yun has accepted two more disciples over the years, namely Yang Chong's son Yang Jue and An Yun's son An Pan. Originally, Zhang Li's son Daniel Zhang also arranged to come in, but Qin Yun saw that the kid was the same material as his father, so he didn't like the text, so in order not to be angry and die, he did not accept Daniel Zhang as an apprentice, but taught some soldiers and battle formations.

Three years later, the general Li Dong unexpectedly died on the battlefield and was killed by the 'White Horse King' Feng Wuxiang. Qin Yun immediately discussed with Yang Chong, transferred troops in the starry night, and directly transferred a large army into Beijing while everyone was not paying attention, and swallowed the men and horses and territory under the command of General Li Dong. By the time the three anti-kings reacted, Yang Chong had already annexed all the strength under Li Dong's command, and personally led the elite of the army under his command to the Tiger Prison Pass, and firmly resisted the siege of the three anti-kings with the natural danger of the Tiger Prison Pass.

A year later, the three anti-kings were forced to retreat due to logistical reasons, and they were killed by Yang Chong again, almost killing the three anti-kings on the spot, and the 'White Horse King' was heavily injured. At this point, the strength of the three major thief armies of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the 'Red Turban Army', the 'Tsing Yi Army' and the 'White Horse Army', fell to the bottom, and they no longer had the strength to compete for dominance in the world.

In the following six years, Yang Chong coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, change the era name, and centralize power. It is also a long-distance and close attack, swallowing and encroaching, constantly sending troops to cut off the princes of the world and expand the territory. Unconsciously, Yang Chong, the general trend of the world, has accounted for six or seven out of ten, and he himself has already stood at the peak of the people's ministers.

In such a situation, even people who have no ambition will have unlimited ambitions, and Yang Chong will naturally be no exception.

On this day, Yang Chong called his two brothers, An Yun and Zhang Li, and came to Qin Yun's mansion in white dragon suits. Qin Yun's mansion was given by Yang Chong, and it was the mansion of the prince of the dynasty, which was extremely luxurious and magnificent. This is Yang Chong's gratitude, but he is a big old man who doesn't understand anything, he gave Qin Yun a house full of copper smell, and he forgot to discuss it with everyone in a hurry, but many people were afraid that Qin Yun would be angry at that time. Fortunately, Qin Yun knew Yang Chong's character, so he accepted it without saying anything.

And Yang Chong himself lived in the mansion of the original general Li Dong.

Yang Chong and the three of them came to the outside of Qin Yun's mansion with some guards, and the mansion was written with the two big characters 'Qin Mansion', (Qin Yun did not accept any official position in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and now he is nominally only a guest by Yang Chong's side) But it was not written by Qin Yun himself. With the improvement of Qin Yun's status, his ink treasures have rarely been revealed, and each pair is a priceless treasure.
