After Li Kui became the secretary of the Yue State, he began to carry out large-scale reforms, and economically implemented the policy of "making the best use of the land" and "making good peace," encouraging the peasants to intensively cultivate and increase their output, and the state purchased surplus grain at a fair price in good years and sold it at a flat price in a famine year, and advocated sowing a variety of grain crops at the same time to prevent disasters and famines.

The introduction of this policy greatly changed the status quo of Yueguo, and the people gradually began to restore their trust in the country, which gave a shot in the arm to this devastated country.

King Yue sat upright in the palace, looking at the report from below, smiling, and secretly sighing that he had really taken a good move.

It's just that the more this is the case, the more jealous he is of Li Kui, without him, such a character will be reused no matter which country he goes to, what is the purpose of coming to his Yue country?

At the same time, after the arrested officials were released again, they all did practical things conscientiously, and they were afraid that they would repeat the mistakes of Mrs. Zhang.

Since the first evil was exterminated, the entire Yue country has been reborn, and its national strength has become the most powerful country among the surrounding countries for a while.

However, because of this, King Yue couldn't help but think a little carefully, and began to vigorously develop the military, and the plot was not small.

Li Kui turned a blind eye to it completely, and continued to carry out the reform of the rule of law in his own way, and implemented laws and regulations such as "fixing points and stopping disputes" and "promoting merit and fearing violence".

Encourage people to make war exploits, and fear those who do wrong. And the ultimate goal of Xinggong is naturally to enrich the country and strengthen the army, and to win the annexation war.

King Yue was even more pleased with this, because many young people in the Yue Kingdom were actively participating in the army, which greatly strengthened the strength of their Yue Kingdom's army.

Originally, because of the lack of troops, his enthusiasm could not be implemented, but now he has been greatly satisfied.

However, the pair were not always so harmonious, and the new law introduced by Li Kui opposed conservative retro ideas and advocated resolute reform.

He believes that history is moving forward, and all laws and systems must develop along with the development of history.

However, as a vassal state of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, King Yue resolutely refused the implementation of this decree.

Zhou ritual is a common etiquette in the world, and it is also an alternative law that restricts them, and there is really no reason to abandon it today when Legalism has not yet been completely formed.

However, Li Kui was not discouraged and did not dwell on this issue, but after he returned to his house, he recorded this point.

This is what he has to do every day, to record the problems and shortcomings and hidden dangers of each decree "reform".

King Yue has also read this notebook, of course, through improper means, but this does not rule out that there is a meaning of Li Kui's instructions.

Because with Li Kui's cultivation, what the secret guard under his command wanted to bring out from Li Kui's home was simply incomparable, but he did it so easily, which made him have to reverie.

However, he still agrees with Li Kui's account of selecting talents and appointing talents, and rewarding and punishing them strictly.

Li Kui advocated the abolition of hereditary aristocratic privileges, and put forward the famous saying that "food is hard work and merit, so that those who have ability will be rewarded, and punishment must be punished". In his notes, Li Kui called those who ate Lu without merit as "people from all over the world who have won the Lu of **".

Li Kui thinks that "for the way of the country, there is merit in food, there is merit in food, there is reward for ability, and punishment must be due", and it is also necessary to "take the best of the best, and come from all over the world". There are rewards and punishments, only the only way is to use, and it is the right way.

In this regard, King Yue was even more impressed, and every time Li Kui implemented the decree, he would carefully consider the deep meaning of it, and not let Li Kui do it as before.

Of course, it's not that he doesn't trust Li Kui, on the contrary, he wants to understand Li Kui in depth, so that he can completely subdue this talent.

That's right, it's the Reconquest.

His Yue Kingdom was reborn because of the appearance of Li Kui, and if he could grasp such a talent in his own hands, it would undoubtedly be the greatest wealth.

Perhaps, his Yue Kingdom also has the qualifications to compete for the hegemony of the world.

Thinking of this, King Yue's heart seemed to have a raging fire burning.

Li Kui looked at the current King Yue and shook his head secretly, although this person has the resources of a hero, but unfortunately, he was trapped by the small country of Yue, and his vision was still too low.

Like the frog at the bottom of the well, now he only sees the bright moon outside the well, but has not seen the real sky.

But what does this have to do with him, in the final analysis, he is just a passerby, the real Yue Kingdom has long been annihilated in the wheel of history, and now this place is just a place for him to practice what he has learned, and it is not worth his effort at all.

As for what will happen to Yue Guo in the end, the decision has always fallen into the hands of King Yue, the king of this country, he himself has already done his duty, and King Yue did not guess wrong, the notebook was written for him to see, and now he still chooses to go his own way, what can he do?

Since ancient times, kings and ministers have been different, and only the king himself can change the decisions he makes.

Therefore, Li Kui does not worry too much about military affairs, since King Yue wants to make trouble, he will leave it to him to make trouble.

On the contrary, in terms of economic strategy, Li Kui has stepped up his efforts, and the teaching of the best of his ability is Li Kui's main proposition.

He believes that the harvest of the field is directly proportional to the labor paid for it, and that "if you are diligent in managing the field, you will benefit from the three buckets of the mu, and if you are not diligent, you will lose it." He also believes that if grain is expensive, it will be detrimental to the people and the industry, and that the grain will hurt the peasants, and those who govern the country well must take into account the interests of both the people and the industry and the peasants. He pointed out that the small peasants of five had a deficit of 450 yuan a year in addition to their expenses for food, clothing, taxes, and sacrifices, and that this was the reason why the peasants lived in poverty and were not at ease with their fields. In view of this situation, he made a flat method, that is, the good years were divided into three grades: large, medium, and small, and the peasants were given grain in proportion; the famine years were also divided into large, medium, and small hunger, and the grain harvested in the year of great maturity was distributed to the peasants in the year of great famine, and the rest was to be carried out by analogy. This would prevent the price of food from rising sharply during the starving years, and the peasants would not flee or be dispersed as a result. Because it can "take more to make up for the shortage".

"Exhausting the land resources" is also a kind of "heavy agricultural policy". He went through on-the-spot exploration calculations: within 100 square miles, there are 90,000 hectares of land, in addition to the mountains and rivers where human settlements account for one-third, 60,000 hectares of land can be cultivated. ”

This policy greatly enriched the national strength of Yue, ensured the abundance of Yue's products and logistical support, and in such a stable development, King Yue finally raised the butcher's knife in his hand and stretched out to the surrounding countries.
