Li Yue was busy purging the country, and other forces were not idle.

After Fu Jian repelled Huan Wen, he successively eliminated Kong Te, Qiao Bing, Liu Zhen, Xiahou Xian, Hu Yangchi and other forces, defeated the coalition forces of Wang Zhen and Zhang Chonghua, and included Yongqin and Qin.

Subsequently, Fu Jian personally issued an edict: "From the age of the minister to the age of the minister, he will be virtuous, square, filial piety, Qingcai, Duoluo, erudite, Xiucai, and heterogeneous." Or offer a book to admonish, or face Chen Zhen, he knows it, and he does not limit the noble and lowly. ”

Deliberately emphasizing that there is no restriction on the noble and the lowly, it is the second force after the Liang State to vigorously use the Hanmen Shu clan.

Then set up a hotel in Pingshuo Gate to appease the distant people, and built a spiritual platform in Dumen, and the people of Guanzhong about three chapters of the law, lightly and thinly endowed not to build civil engineering, devoted to political affairs, excellent gifts for the elderly, and Confucianism.

Reuse Yu Zun, Lei Qiao'er, Mao Gui, Wang Yuan, Liang Leng, Liang An, Duan Chun, Xin Lao and other talented people.

In addition, Fu Jian practiced frugality, sent envoys to ask the people about their sufferings, lenient taxes, relaxed the prohibition of leaving the palace, abolished useless instruments, and went to extravagant clothes.

The Fu clan not only fought bravely and decisively, but also ruled the country vigorously and resolutely, and the war-hardened Guanzhong ushered in great vitality.

Guan Zhongmin, who originally had a lot of complaints about Fu Jian's claim to be the emperor, also gradually followed.

However, Huan Wen's Northern Expedition also hit Qin hard, and the death of Prime Minister Fu Xiong and Prince Fu Chang had a great impact.

Fu Jian vomited blood and cried out because of Fu Xiong's death: "Heaven does not want me to calm the evil of the four seas!" How fast can you take away my talents? ”

Since then, his health has not been very good, and he has been eating and drinking, working hard, and his health has deteriorated.

The matter of appointing a prince was also put on the agenda.

Empress Dowager Qiang recommended her beloved son Fu Liu, the king of Jin, as the crown prince, but Fu Liu was too mediocre in front of the descendants of the Fu family.

Fu Jing, Fu Sheng, Fu Fei, Fu Fa, and Fu Shuo were all brave and good at fighting, clearing the Guanzhong for Di Qin.

Even Fu Jian also performed outstandingly, breaking the Yao clan with Deng Qiang in Pusaka and capturing Yao Lan alive.

Even if Fu Liu is established as the crown prince, it is difficult to suppress a group of wolf-like brothers.

Fu Jian was very worried about this, "The defeat of the Shi family, when the kings killed each other, Ran Min took advantage of the situation, and my son-in-law is like this...... Heroic, only afraid of ......"

After Fu Xiong's death, Qin's military power began to tilt in favor of Fu Jing.

When he first attacked Guanzhong, Fu Jing also made great contributions, and Fu Jing has always been ambitious, and Fu Liu will definitely not be able to suppress him.

"The only one who can suppress the king of Pyeongchang is the king of Huainan!" Lei weaker gave up.

The king of Huainan is Fu Sheng, brave and warlike, when the battle of Huan Wen, he charged into battle, cut the flag, killed and injured many Jin troops, and was extremely powerful in the Qin army.

"Recently, there is a prophecy of three sheep and five eyes in Chang'an, could it be that it should be the king of Huainan?" Qiang Ping Road.

Fu Liu and Fu Sheng were both born to Queen Qiang, and they were harmless to the Qiang family, as long as they didn't stand up.

Of course, the meat should rot in your own kettle.

"Three sheep and five eyes?" Fu Jian naturally thought of Fu Sheng's one-eyed, "This is not ...... Providence? ”

Fu Jian was resolute and immediately established Fu Sheng as the crown prince......

In September, the autumn wind is bleak and the weather is slightly cold.

However, all parts of the Central Plains ushered in a bumper harvest.

Zhou led more than 100,000 slaves to work hard, build water conservancy, reclaim barren land, connect Xuxia Tuntian and Huaibei Tuntian, the fertile land is hundreds of miles longitudinal and horizontal, stretching from Xuchang to Shouchun, a bumper harvest will harvest 7 million stone grain, or mainly rice.

On both sides of the Yellow River, there are many kinds of millet and wheat, and at the same time ushered in a bumper harvest.

This is also a rare good year in the past ten years.

With the support of these grains, the materials of the Liang State were greatly enriched, and no more people fled to Jiangdong, and the people's hearts became more and more stable.

The once vanished merchants began to flourish again.

In their spare time, the people would also hunt, pick mountain goods, and sell them in the city.

And Xuchang, Yecheng, Guanggu, Yuncheng, Pengcheng and other big cities began to appear big businessmen, and the business scope expanded to Daiguo, Jiangdong, Yanguo, Bingzhou and other places, and exchanged ideas.

In Li Yue's understanding, business can promote the recovery of national strength more quickly.

After all, there are many things that the government can't get, but these businessmen have great powers and can get anything.

The livestock of Daiguo, the crossbow of Jiangdong, and the excellent war horses of Yan can all be seen on the market.

However, Wang Meng was very opposed to this, and went to the table one after another, "The country should be based on agriculture, businessmen should pursue heavy profits, and hoarding and raising prices are capable things, which will hurt the foundation of the country, and this wind must not rise." ”

This is the first time that Li Yue and Wang Meng have disagreed.

Emphasis on agriculture and suppression of commerce has been the case throughout the ages.

Shang Ying issued a decree prohibiting the abandonment of agriculture and business, and those who did not engage in business were punished as slaves.

The Western Han Dynasty ordered the Jia people not to ride in clothes, and the Jin Dynasty ordered the merchants to wear white shoes and black shoes.

Li Yue is noncommittal, there are two sides to everything.

Shangjia is also a double-edged sword, at least for now, to quickly boost the country's strength.

But Wang Meng's table soon came again, "Guan Ziyun: The country of ten thousand times has a thousand gold Jia, and the country of a thousand times has a thousand gold Jia, but what is it?" If the country fails, the laws and regulations will not work, the people will not be governed, and the rich and the poor will not be equal. His Royal Highness has opened up the style of business, and the people are all profit-seeking, who will govern the cultivation? Merchants are easy to buy and betray the country, and I hope that His Royal Highness will think more about it, and if the benefit comes from a hole, his country will be invincible, and he will give it to the king, take it from the king, and the poor will be in the king, and the rich will be in the king......"

Guan Zhong was born as a businessman and the founder of the Qinglou industry, but after becoming Xiangguo, he opposed businessmen.

If there is a big merchant with 10,000 gold in a country of 10,000 times, and if there is a big merchant with 10,000 gold, it means that the wealth of the country and the people has been stolen by the businessman.

As a result, the people and the country have been impoverished, and there has been a serious polarization, which has led to chaos in the country.

And "those who benefit from one hole are invincible in their country" means that economic power is held by the state and the monarch in a unified manner, so that the country is strong and invincible.

Conversely, once the economic lifeline is controlled by the merchants, the state is the puppet of the merchants.

Li Yue was amazed after reading it, and his ancestors had already seen the harm of the barbaric growth of capital in the Warring States Period......

Within two days, Wang Meng's third letter came again, full of three or four thousand words, discussing in detail the various harms of the merchants after they grew stronger, listing the Western Han Dynasty Chengdu people, the goods to more than 10,000,000 yuan, this person took out half of the family wealth, gold and silver to open the way, Quyang, Dingling Marquis, directly breaking the Western Han Dynasty non-military merits are not allowed to be feuded marquis.

Then, according to his power, he lent the county on credit, no one dared to bear it, and the local government did not dare to speak, and gradually monopolized the profits of the salt wells in the entire Shu, and the profits were huge, more than ten times more than what was taken out back then......

The biggest threat to the growth of the merchants is that they will inevitably infiltrate the government.

The solution proposed by Wang Meng was not to restrict the common people from engaging in small business, but to restrict the big merchants, impose heavy taxes, strictly manage the goods they sold, and strictly prohibit officials from engaging in business.
