Sword fighting conference, food and accommodation, come and participate.

Holding an international conference in this day and age takes a lot of time to prepare, after all, it takes a long time just to get there. And the swordsmen and swordsmiths who can make a name for themselves in this era of backward information dissemination have more or less a few brushes.

Although the technology is backward, the rumors about the swordsman's god have never disappeared. The times are advancing, society is involuting, the old profession cannot accommodate so many people, and new professions are being born.

In the past, no matter how many children people had, they had enough land. But now that there is not enough land, whether it is a nobleman, a scholar, a countryman or a savage, they all need to find a new way out.

The short-lived Han Feizi has raised this question, husbands and wives will have children, children will have children, and a couple will only need a few decades to become a big family with a population of twenty or thirty, so will the management cost of society and land resources be enough?

Han Feizi believes that it is useless to talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality, and the objective condition is that there are more people and not enough land. In Yao Shunyu's era, there were fewer people and more places, so everyone was polite, but at the end of the Warring States period where he was located, there were many people and few places, so everyone couldn't be polite anymore.

Han Feizi believes that Confucianism wants to emulate Yao Shunyu, but it is useless to ignore the conditions and look at the conditions. It is a pity that he did not propose a solution to the contradiction between population and land, but only how to rule over a large number of people. That is the usage, there are fewer people who can talk about benevolence and righteousness, and more people who have less people should look at the family.

Before Han Feizi could put forward more ideas, he was killed by Qin Shi Huang because of Li Si's frame-up.

In fact, the large number of people and the lack of land were not unique to the Warring States period, but there were them in the Spring and Autumn Period. It's just that in the period from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, the productive forces are still developing, and in the process of the development of bronze to ironware, the deep cultivation of fine crops has been carried forward, and the output of the land is still increasing, so the population has become larger. Han Feizi only found that the population was increasing, but he did not find that the productivity was also changing, there was no increase in productivity, and there was no population of the Warring States.

After more than 300 years of development from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the population has increased, the output has increased, and the number of full-time scholars has also increased, so there are more swordsmen.

Swordsmen are usually scholars, because the land has been cultivated, so they can only leave the land to wander, or attach themselves to others, or do odd jobs to sell some strength, and can call themselves swordsmen with a sword in their hands.

There are more idle people, fights and brawls are naturally indispensable, and those with weapons are naturally more powerful than those without weapons, and those with weapons continue to fight, and the victor will naturally become famous and become a famous swordsman.

And after the swordsman becomes famous, he can collect apprentices and make money. You don't have to be attached to others or do odd jobs. So everyone knows the benefits of fame, since fame is so easy to use, then the fame of the sword saint is naturally not said, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the head of the swordsmen of the princes and countries.

With the name of the Sword Saint, he is no longer afraid of starvation, not to mention that the monarch of Qi will also reward treasures. When it comes to fame and fortune, the swordsmen are ready to move and embark on a journey.

Half a year later, the news reached the Qin State, and it can be said that a gust of wind blew from the east to the west. The swordsmen of the Qin State prepared the food and set off, and it took at least half a year to reach the Qi State in a hurry.

Therefore, it took a whole year from the decision to the holding of the sword fighting tournament.

Linzi is full of outsiders with various accents, but the similarity is that they all carry their own weapons, and they are all swordsmen.

In order to manage these swordsmen who arrived first, Guan Zhong stipulated that private fights were not allowed, and private fights would lose the qualification to participate in the sword fighting tournament, and this order was still very effective.

But there are still some reckless guys who will take the initiative to stir up trouble, so a swordsman security brigade organized by Guan Zhong appeared on the stage, specializing in suppressing swordsmen who cause trouble.

In fact, Yun Yao didn't understand a little, that is, why did Guan Zhong engage in such a big battle, did he have a political purpose? Is it to promote the strength of the Qi Kingdom, or to reassure friends?

Even if you want to deal with Jiuyi, it seems that you won't need to gather swordsmen from all over the world. It was as if Guan Zhong suddenly had an idea in his head and asked him to do it.

In fact, thinking about it, Guan Zhong himself also felt that he had made a big deal out of it, but it was just a flash of inspiration at that time, and he didn't think too much about it. Although there are many benefits to the sword fighting conference, it is a real test of strength to run it well.

But since the bow has been opened, there is no turning back, and it can only be a wonderful sword fighting conference.

The State of Qi has this national strength, and with the arrival of the swordsmen, the swordsmiths of various countries have also come, if they are willing to stay in the State of Qi, they can greatly strengthen the military strength of the State of Qi.

The swordsmith is the weapon designer of this era, and the more swordsmiths there are, the more and more advanced weapons produced by the Qi Kingdom.

Therefore, when the swordsmith came, Guan Zhong did everything possible to hope that they would stay.

For a while, the monarchs of various countries said that Qi was too deceitful, which was simply an open digging of the wall, there was no such thing. Isn't a lot of money great? Qi was originally just a small country in the East, mixed with the Jiuyi people, how many pure-bloods are there in the current Qi country? Aren't all mongrels yet? Now that you have the money, you can start digging the foot of the wall? Is it tolerable or intolerable? Can't bear it......

But it seems that there is no way to bear it, the current strength of Qi State is really not to be offended, who can beat Qi State in general?

Originally, the territory of Chu in the south was very large, and it could barely be opened with Qi State, but since Chu bought a deer, Chu State has withered, and he does not dare to look north at Qi State, so he can only restrain his ambitions and continue to advance south.

The behavior of the Qi State poaching the swordsmith is indeed infuriating, but the countries can only strongly condemn it.

As for the countries saying that the blood of the people of Qi is not pure, the Qi country is too lazy to fight back, whose blood is pure? Even if it is the state of Zhou, it is not integrated with Xirong in the west? There is no country in the four directions of southeast, north, and west that is not integrated.

"The founding monarch of my Qi country, Taigong, took 'because of its customs, simplicity and etiquette' as the national policy, and stabilized the East in half a year, and even Zhou Gongdan praised it. And our Qi country is indeed surpassing the Lu country to become a big country in the east as predicted by Zhou Gongdan, which round of them is talking nonsense. Xiaobai was a little angry, but he said that this pot was not his, but started with Jiang Taigong.

"In the past three hundred years, Jiuyi has been subdued and rebelled. I, the Qi country, do not forget the policy of the Taigong State, and I can't let them gain an inch. Taking advantage of the opportunity of this sword fighting conference, we must recruit swordsmiths from all over the world, so that we can strengthen the military, and we will definitely be able to solve the Jiuyi Rebellion in one fell swoop, so that they will no longer dare to disobey the Qi State. Uncle Bao said.

Xiao Bai likes to listen to this, he nodded and said: "I didn't expect that the sword fighting conference could have such benefits, pass on my will, I want to build a sword casting hall, and let the sword casting masters all over the world see the sincerity of my Qi country." ”

Guan Zhong said: "It is necessary to protect the safety of the swordsmith, in case there are people with bad intentions who are not good for the swordsmith. ”

Xiao Bai immediately agreed: "That's right, the outside of the Sword Casting Hall must be protected more, and the Sword Forge must not be in danger." There will definitely be people with red eyes, who can't see our Qi country recruiting talents, they can't defeat Qi country, they will definitely take the crooked path, and they must be guarded against. Or is the middle father thoughtful. ”

Uncle Bao immediately received the order to do it. onclick="hui"
