Wei.

In a wine shop, all kinds of Li Shu gathered together, gossiping and chatting.

"Hey, did you hear that?"

"Wu is undergoing a big change over there."

A middle-aged man muttered.

"What does the change of Wu have to do with my people?"

A young scholar was puzzled.

"How can it be irrelevant? As far as I know, the state of Wu can be said to have undergone earth-shaking changes, not to mention the 20-level military merit title system, but it is to openly abolish the well field system, open up the frontier, recognize the private ownership of land, and the people can buy and sell, under the whole world, which country has such a change? ”

"Shhh

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but gasp and feel shocked.

"This means that in the future, the farmer's own land can be bought and sold freely?"

"Not bad!"

"Very good!"

A man with five big and three rough men drank a bowl of wine "gurgling", and then said with a big tongue: "We have been defending the country for a long time, and we don't know when we will be able to abolish the well field system and open up the territory like Wu Guo." ”

Thinkers

"Hahahaha! I'm afraid I didn't wake up at my feet! ”

The middle-aged man smiled disdainfully: "Wei Hou's ability, how can he be as good as King Wu?" In the seven years of King Wu, he has changed the law twice, the country is rich and the people are strong, but the country is still the same as before, sticking to the rules, the country is poor and does not think about changing, how can it be rich and strong? ”

Weiguo is not a poor country, but the national strength is indeed not strong, this is a fact!

"Moreover, I have also heard that the king of Wu has advertised in the world, and all those who settle in Wu, regardless of their origin, nobles or slaves, can be given fields, houses and farm tools, exempted from forced labor for five years, and after five years of cultivation, the fields can be given to those who cultivate them!"

"And that's not all!"

"I have also heard that the state of Wu rewards ploughing warfare, and if there are people who are outstanding in farming, they will be given cloth and property, not to mention, they can also be exempted from forced labor for one to several years!"

"It's unheard of!"

Everyone talked about it, and the idea of defecting to Wu had already been derived in their hearts.

Although they live in the defense of the country, it is not a matter of dire straits, but when they encounter a year of famine or a time of war and chaos, they will be displaced and have no fixed place to live.

Moreover, the conditions offered by Wu Guo are indeed very attractive.

……

Chu State, Yingdu Palace.

The young King of Chu, Xiong Zhen, was in the side hall, sitting opposite Ling Yin Nangwa and Zuo Zixi.

After seeing the note handed over by Zixi, Xiong Zhen's face couldn't help but sink.

"Is Wu Wang Qingji crazy? Unexpectedly, the well-field system was abolished, the territory was opened, and the land was really given to those untouchables? And to encourage the people of the nations to settle in Wu to make a living? ”

Xiong Zhen shivered and was cold for a while!

Zixi sighed and said: "My lord, with all due respect, what Qingji has done is indeed crazy in the eyes of the kings of the nations. However, it is a good policy for enriching the country and strengthening the people! ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Xiong Zhen was a little puzzled.

"King, the well field system has long existed in name only, King Wu abolished the well field system, opened the territory of Qianmo, and really gave the land to the peasants, but it is just a matter of taking advantage of the trend, which can encourage the farmers to cultivate to the greatest extent and further improve the agricultural production of the Wu State."

"It is conceivable that in a few years, Wu will surely become the country with the highest grain output in the world."

After a pause, Zixi said again: "Moreover, it is the ambition of the wolf son of Wu to encourage the people of all countries to settle in Wu to make a living!" ”

"Whoever settles in Wu, regardless of origin, nobleman or slave, may be given land, houses, and farm implements, and shall be exempted from forced labor for five years, and after five years of cultivation, the land shall be given to those who cultivate it."

"With such a lure, wouldn't the people of the kingdom under heaven rush to enter Wu? The minister heard that in the border cities of our Chu State, many Li Shu have dragged their families into the land of Wu, and have been properly resettled by the Wu people. ”

"Under the advantages of one and the other, the king must not be guarded against. If this goes on for a long time, the people of Wu will definitely be more numerous, and the people of Chu and even the people of Wu's neighbors will be more and more reduced! ”

Hearing this, Xiong Zhen couldn't help but be furious and said, "These pariahs! Outrageous! If you do this, won't you be afraid of being attacked by the nations? ”

To this extent, it is inevitable that the Wu State will be attacked by a group of other countries.

However, this is obviously not something that the Chu people have to think about now.

Zixi pondered for a moment and said, "The king, the top priority is to stop a large number of people from fleeing to Wu as soon as possible. ”

"How to stop it? Could it be that the fugitives of the country should be punished or killed one by one? ”

Xiong Zhen was puzzled.

At this time, Ling Yin Nangwa, who was sitting opposite, said: "Your Majesty, you may be able to block this kind of news and prevent the people from learning about the changes in the Wu Kingdom." ”

"No!"

Zixi frowned and said: "There are a lot of detailed works in the Wu State, especially in the territory of my Chu State, not to mention that they are pervasive, but it is also difficult to eliminate them. ”

"Moreover, the Wu people also privately instructed many businessmen to spread the news of Wu's reform and blockade of the news, and it was impossible to do it at all!"

Upon hearing this, Nangwa suddenly said with great displeasure: "Then I don't know, what is Shen Gongzi's opinion?" ”

"I don't dare to take it. Now, our Chu State should immediately seal the border, and in order to prevent the people from fleeing to Wudi, the fugitives should be arrested and punished one by one, so as to set an example! ”

"Good!"

Xiong Zhen nodded in agreement.

At this time, it was already helpless for Zixi to come up with such a method.

However, this is simply a palliative thing!

Can the border army of Chu be able to defend for a while, and how many years?

Under the guidance of the situation, if the state of Chu still does not think about change, it will inevitably cause more people to flee to Wu.

And the Chu people who fled to Wu are not unable to live in their hometown, they just want to live a better life.

Zixi also wanted to make a statement to Xiong Zhen, the king of Chu, and follow the example of Qingji to abolish the Jingtian system and open up the national politics of Qianmo to seal the frontier, as concocted.

However, as soon as Zixi's side has just spoken, I'm afraid that in a few days, Zixi will be forced to lose his official position if he is not in a different place!

Because the feudal monarchs of the Chu State and the ministers of the old clan would never allow this kind of thing to happen, which greatly damaged their interests!

……

Jinling, the gate of the city.

Just when everyone in the world was making a fuss about Wu Guo openly abolishing the Jingtian system and opening up the territory of Qianmo, Qingji was welcoming Kong Qiu, who had returned from Huiji County.

"Minister, Kongqiu, see the king! Long live the king! ”

Kong Qiu hurriedly said to Qingji.

He never expected that Qingji would personally go out to the city gate to greet him, which is a great honor for the courtiers!

"Kong Qing doesn't have to be polite!"

Qingji grabbed Kong Qiu's arm and said with a pleasant face: "Kong Qing, come, please get in the car!" ”

Qingji made a gesture of "please" and invited Kong Qiu to board his six imperial carriages as the king of Wu.
