Chapter 48 The first change of law, Wei Ying's design won the hearts of the people
Under the careful care of the palace medical officer, Wei Ying soon recovered as before, and after the recovery, Wei Yang immediately came to meet Chen Xiang and discuss state affairs with him, Chen Xiang was very excited, and talked with Wei Ying for three days and three nights, thought it was, admired Wei Ying, and worshiped him as the minister of state, and the general leader of the government.
Wei Ying believed that the principle of governing the country should first obtain the trust and support of the people to the imperial court, and in the Spring and Autumn Period, the rulers of the vassal states in order to satisfy their personal desires, levied tyranny on the common people, and scraped the people's fat and ointment.
In order to solve the above problems, Shang Ying deliberately set up a high platform at the east gate of Huacheng, placed several giant trees on the high platform, and posted a notice: anyone who can lift the giant wood from the east gate to the west gate will be rewarded with hardware. As soon as the notice came out, the slippery city suddenly boiled, and the people talked about it, and they all thought that it was simply a fool's dream, and it must be some powerful person who was bored and came up with a way to make amusement, and when the fool carried the wood to the west gate, and then came back stupidly to ask for a bounty, the nobles could make fun of this fool loudly.
Therefore, the notice was posted for a long time, and there were many people watching the excitement, but still no one came up to try it, so Wei Ying raised the bounty to ten gold, and everyone was still indifferent except for making a greater exclamation.
Chen Xiang was quietly observing everything that was happening at the East Gate not far away at this time, and this situation was also something that he and Wei Ying had expected earlier. Chen Xiang summoned a big man and whispered to him, and the big man took off his clothes and changed into them and walked straight to the east city gate, sneaking into the crowd quietly.
After a while, I saw this big man come out of the crowd and shout, "I'm willing to try." When Wei Ying saw that someone had come to try, he was overjoyed and responded: "Strong man, please." The big man stepped forward, picked up the wood and walked towards the west gate, and the crowd flocked to the west gate, and the people seemed to be celebrating a festival, laughing while watching, and pointing at the big man from time to time.
After a while, the big man carried the wood to the west gate, and as soon as the wood was still there, he hurried to the east gate, and when he came to the high platform of the east gate, the big man shouted, "I have carried the wood to the west gate, please give me the bounty." Wei Ying laughed and said, "Strong men are so vigorous, the country needs people like you who are willing to contribute." After speaking, Wei Ying ordered someone to take the ten gold that had been prepared and handed it over to the Han with his own hands. Dahan was overjoyed and shouted excitedly to the crowd: "There are really so many bounties, mother, this time you are saved, thank you Xiangguo, thank you Guojun." After saying that, the big man happily went home with the bounty in his hand.
The crowd of onlookers were dumbfounded, they couldn't believe that all this was true, there was silence around them, and suddenly a shout came out from the crowd: "The court is true to its word, words count, as long as everyone listens to the orders of the king and the minister of the country in the future, there will naturally be a heavy reward." Suddenly the crowd exploded, and the remaining wood on the high platform was instantly snatched up by the people, of course, those who grabbed the wood finally got a bounty of ten gold like the big man, and the people who were waiting to see the joke just now feel that they are the real fools.
Seeing this situation, Chen Xiang, who was not far away, smiled and ordered everyone to quietly go back to the palace.
In Chen Xiang's study in the palace, Chen Xiang happily said to Wei Ying: "Sir's plan is really clever, and this king admires it very much." Wei Ying replied: "The world is chaotic, and the people's hearts are not ancient, so Wei Ying has no choice but to win the hearts of the people." I also hope that the king can cultivate virtue and love the people and consolidate the people's hearts in the future, so that I can slip the country for a long time, and the country will be rich and the people will be strong. Chen Xiang took Wei Ying's hand and said excitedly: "What Mr. said is very true, this king also knows the truth that the people are noble and the king is light, and the ideal of this king to rule the world is to save the people from fire and water." Wei Ying was solemn when he heard this, and suddenly bowed to Chen Xiangxing, and said: "The benevolence of the king, the blessing of the people, Wei Ying is willing to smear the liver and brain of the king and serve the work of dogs and horses." Now that the imperial court has won the initial trust of the people, the imperial court will successively promulgate reform regulations, and the king should select capable people to carry out, and must strictly abide by the decree, reward and punish clearly, and make orders and prohibitions be carried out, so as to ensure the smooth progress of the law change. Chen Xiang replied: "What the gentleman says, the king will definitely do it, and the gentleman is solely responsible for the matter of changing the law, and the king will not interfere without the instructions of the gentleman." Wei Ying bowed to Shane again and took the order.
