Gongsun Martingale was able to gain the support of the new class and the king in China, which was inseparable from the substance of his reforms. The core content of his "Grass Reclamation Order" is to rectify the rule of officials, encourage farming, and control the mind. There is nowhere for all the political lobbyists who want to put forward different points of view and confuse ideas and values. Among them, the biggest victim is the old aristocracy who raised a large number of so-called think tanks, and the biggest beneficiary is not the laborers who are really engaged in agriculture at the grassroots level, but the newly rising small and medium-sized nobles who are difficult to find opportunities for advancement due to lack of family background.

This group of small and medium-sized aristocrats holds one of the most important resources of the country at present: the productive population at the bottom. Their power may be far inferior to those wealthy families above the court who call for wind and rain by virtue of the shadow of their ancestors. However, in the process of continuous opposition and encroachment by the new nobles, these old aristocrats have always ignored one point: at present, if the power and skill they are good at, the power and skill, status and family background they are good at, if they lose the big tree of the Qin State itself, then all this glory, wealth and discourse power will no longer exist.

While these old aristocrats are still busy fighting in the open and secret battles above the court, the new forces are constantly accumulating real social wealth and means of production. Groups of high-spirited doormen and gentlemen ran and lobbied, but they never made a fundamental change. With the support and promotion of the state, all the grassroots officials and front-line producers engaged in managing social production no longer want to believe in the bright future depicted by these lobbyists. In their eyes, it is just empty promises, how can they compare to the new law that can bring tangible benefits to hard work.

The law-changing interest groups that controlled the productive forces at the grassroots level immediately began to unify the management of household registration, and proposed that the Legalists govern the country and sit down to restrain them. This seemingly harsh and even cruel criminal management system is not entirely about the control and suppression of grassroots producers. Because it is not the grassroots producers who really can't hold back their loneliness and wants to stir up the storm, but the so-called aristocratic think tanks and lobbying politicians who always want to get something for nothing. Therefore, the implementation of this decree actually only once again consolidated and strengthened the interests of the middle and lower classes that can really produce and create real wealth and materials for the country, and dealt another heavy blow to a group of old-fashioned aristocrats in terms of the judicial and criminal system.

Subsequently, some of the old aristocratic class was attacked by the new decree in the deadliest way: the clan could no longer rely on the shadow of their ancestors to enjoy glory and wealth, and military merit was the main means to achieve glory. All titles and fame will not only rely on the ancestors, but rely on the present to open up the territory for the country and kill the enemy. Moreover, even if the family is rich and does not have enough credit, it must not be overly luxurious.

The clan must not be a member of the clan unless it has military merits. Mingzun and the rank of the lowly, each with the name of the field house, and the clothes of the concubines according to the family order. Those who have merit are glorious, and those who have no merit are rich and have nothing to do.

- "Historical Records"

This time, all the old nobles finally panicked, because they had long been accustomed to lying on the merits of their ancestors and enjoying a luxurious and noble life. Letting such a group of princes and grandsons who can only point fingers and talk about state affairs pick up swords and guns and rush to the battlefield is tantamount to pronouncing their death sentence in advance. But the most terrible thing is that this decree will be recognized and supported by the military, so that the old school will completely lose the support of force.

As a result, the conservative forces could neither recognize the lowly work nor really fight for the country, and their living space was squeezed as never before. What the old guards are powerless to refute is that the starting point of the reformers is completely for the strength of the Qin state itself, rather than seeking personal interests through power. In the face of the new decree, an outlaw who had only only courage and blood left, and the nobles who had a lot of wealth and pampered relatives, seemed to be at the same starting point, but in the process of moving towards the end, the power and glory of the nobles could not really help them move forward, but would become an obstacle to them.

This earth-shattering reform made the value system of the Qin State fall apart. No family background can be a major factor in maintaining a good quality of life today. On the contrary, the low-level soldiers and civilians who have nothing to do in the first place, they have no ties, as long as they are willing to fight to the death, they can get a chance to change their fate.

For the army, on the battlefield, the fierce enemy will not stop wielding swords and guns because the ancestors of which general are brilliant enough, and will not disarm and surrender because which marshal has read more military books and understands more hundred schools of thought. As for the low-level sergeants, they didn't need to think about whether they were ordered to fight this time in accordance with etiquette and morality, and whether their actions of slashing and killing the enemy were noble enough. In the midst of this troubled world, it is already a great happiness to kill the enemy and live, and this new decree has added the reward of changing their fate in addition to the work they already need to complete every day. In this way, it is enough to kill the enemy with all your might. The most important significance of the new decree for them is that there is no need to continue to fight with those officers who are good at scheming and scheming, and compete for the title of meritorious lord.

It is impossible for any famous general to defeat thousands of troops alone, and there is no famous marshal who does not need to rely on the millions of heroes under his command. Although the lowest power lacks elegant demeanor and graceful beauty, however, in this rough and humble class, there is a great power that can turn the world upside down. The new decree allowed such a class, which had always been regarded as a tool and a martyr's object, to see a glimmer of light falling from the sky, a turning point to get rid of the fate of tools. Although, when this class really crosses that gap, it may find that it is nothing more than a transformation from a low-level tool to a high-level tool, but it still does not change the nature of the tool itself.

But just that's what the brave Qin people are all about. Now, the opportunity to sell yourself for a good price has been generously bestowed upon the Holy King and the virtuous ministers, and it is time to have a bright future!

The new law, which was supported by the most basic forces, was quickly implemented with the cooperation of the emperor and the affirmation of the people. The power of the Qin State began to swell dramatically. Everyone understands that everything that was once is no longer a bargaining chip at this new table, and only you can rely on yourself. No soldier will ever fear a battle to the death, because if he is the one who can come back alive, then he can enjoy the opportunity and life that he once gambled his life to get; There will be no more peasant servants complaining about the hardships of their work, because at least after struggling, they can get a relatively stable space to live.

The state of Qin quickly grew stronger in this unprecedented reform, and every subject and official eunuch deeply and clearly understood their own value. Laborers who could not cut off the enemy's head with their swords had to fight to provide supplies for the war; A warrior who can be stubborn and bloody on the battlefield only needs to use his own weapons to kill the enemy desperately; Every official eunuch only needs to deploy and connect materials and troops, kings and generals, and efficiently unify them, which is enough. This country no longer needs any noise and thoughts other than these three types of people, and there is no need to think about what the value of life itself is.

It is enough that every laborer is like an obedient and diligent instrument of production, every warrior is like a fearless puppet of killing, and every official is a mouthpiece for the purpose of spreading the king's desires and commands in a form that both the killer and the producer can understand. You don't need to be too smart, you just need to do everything that the state has arranged, and then tell yourself that this is fate. If you do everything you can, you may be able to change your fate.

A barbarian who was despised by the princes of the Central Plains, with his majestic mountains and rivers blocking everyone's sight. At a time when various forces were still dismantling the original slavery system and advancing towards the feudal system, the Qin state seemed to have formed the prototype of a new and terrible system, which in later generations we are accustomed to calling: extreme nationalism.

A country no longer needs a system other than agriculture and warfare, everything in this land exists to be able to fulfill the king's will. And the most convincing thing about this change is that while it is highly centralized and seemingly heavy pressure to satisfy the desire of the leader, it also gives every lowest class who was once regarded as a tool, a dream that seems to be able to be obtained by desperate efforts.

Of course, whether it is Gongsun Ying or Qin Xiaogong, they all understand that this dream, which seems to be able to be touched desperately, is actually just a delicious cake that a king and his ministers have drawn together, which can be seen but not eaten. However, even so, the great idea of knowing etiquette could not defeat the rough combat power of Cang Li's swordsman.

For the Qin state, this reform that made the tools of the ruling class more tame, more efficient, and more brutal, so that this Western barbarian, which had always been threatened by external troubles from all sides, completely got rid of the crisis of national extinction and extinction, which was enough for such a chaotic era of the jungle. A rabbit that could become food at any moment suddenly began to metamorphose into a jackal. Jackals seem to be chewing on carrion, dripping with saliva and staggering with no manners, but they have been freed from their fate as food and have become predators.

The most important thing that the Qin State got from this change was that in addition to obtaining the qualification to go to the gambling table of the world's big gamble, an army with extremely strong combat power, and hard-working logistics supplies, this storm will always drag the old nobles of the Great Qin Empire to run forward, and they will be crushed to pieces, so that they can no longer hold high the shadow of their ancestors and block the sun of the dynasty.
