Chapter 17 Because of Fairness

The carriage was jogging and moving forward slowly. Ju Zizhou was sitting in the carriage bored and looked at the scenery outside.

There are not many things for entertainment in this era, and there are basically no ones in the process of rushing.

Ying Zheng is working hard to memorize the "Handan Investigation".

After easily intimidating and subjugating Meng Yan with the knowledge in this investigation, Ying Zheng felt even more that this investigation was the same as Ju Zizhou said, and it was a treasure book containing great interests and violence.

So he felt more intense when he carries it, not only carrying it, but also carrying it on someone else's back.

He was afraid that others would learn about the knowledge in this survey.

This is an era when knowledge is more precious than gold. His mind is actually understandable that he is afraid that others will know.

Ju Zizhou doesn't care about it and let it go.

In Liyang, the road became flat and the carriage was not as bumpy as before, so it was easier to sit inside.

What's even better is the green fields on both sides of the road outside the car.

At the end of August, it was the last time when the weather was getting colder before it turned cold. Farmers and slaves worked in groups in the fields. Some Qin officials in black clothes, tilted heads and ropes were scattered on the ground. Most of them were leisurely watching others watering the crops, and occasionally they would go down to the fields to kick some gangsters whose hair was shaved, cursing and urging their work.

"The fire flows in July, and the clothes are given in September." Ju Zizhou looked at the scene of work in front of him, chewing on the poems that the lower class of ancient people described the life of self-cultivating farmers, and a ray of loneliness rose in his heart.

It has been almost seven years since I came to this era.

I don’t know if the poverty alleviation work in the county after I left will continue as the previous intensity.

Are the children in the mountains still getting up early and hiking the mountain road to school?

Do the elderly still go home and drink medicine and poison themselves because they can't afford the expensive medical expenses?

Have poor households been lifted out of poverty?

Ju Zizhou thought, feeling a little depressed in his chest.

Loneliness and worry were like two big hands, tightly shaking his throat from behind.

Why did I come to this world?

Can I come here make them live better in two thousand years?

Ju Zizhou is a little confused.

He reached out and wanted to grab something.

Ying Zheng stopped reading, turned to look at Ju Zizhou worriedly.

Ju Zizhou is the same as usual, facing him like a flat lake, but Ying Zheng and him are together day and night, and they know each other well.

He could see that Ju Zizhou was quite uneasy at this time.

It seems to be worried, it seems to be sad.

Ying Zheng pursed his lips, wondering what was wrong with Ju Zizhou.

"Senior Brother..." Ying Zheng called out softly.

Ju Zizhou was awakened by the call of "Senior Brother".

He looked at Ying Zheng's tender and handsome little face in front of him, and his eyes couldn't help but extend out of the window.

The labor in the fields continues.

Ju Zizhou sighed.

[Receive red envelopes after reading books] Follow the public account [Book Friends Base Camp], and you can get a maximum of 888 cash red envelopes after reading books!

I have the ability to make them live a better life!

"Senior brother, what's wrong with you?" Ying Zheng asked worriedly.

"A Zheng." Ju Zizhou's eyes became firm again: "Why are the Qin people's military power stronger than the six countries?"

"Because of the large number of Qin people, there are fewer six countries!" Ying Zheng said immediately.

"Say it again!" Ju Zizhou shouted.

"The Qin people are numerous but the six countries are few!" Ying Zheng shouted and replied.

When he heard a loud voice, Meng Yan outside the carriage and the rangers walking beside the carriage heard it immediately.

Meng Yan touched his beard and felt a little confused.

Rangers don't understand why.

Further apart, six Confucian scholars heard Ying Zheng's voice and drove their horses to the carriage, wanting to hear what Ying Zheng was saying.

"Why are the Qin people numerous but the six countries few?" Ju Zizhou asked.

Ying Zheng immediately replied: "Because the Qin people can gain benefits when fighting, and the people of the six countries can gain benefits when fighting!"

Meng Yan was shocked and subconsciously sat upright.

"There is a big difference between fighting for one's own interests and fighting for the interests of others!" Ju Zizhou smiled and said, "Then why can the Qin people benefit from fighting?"

"Because of Shang Jun's reform, Qin's law has a way to gain merits and profits."

"Whoever gets the head of the battle can get merits!" Ying Zheng replied.

"Give merits and gain benefits!"

"The Qin State has this method, which is true; but the Wei State has such method as Qi State! Zheng State has even more method of cutting his ears into practice!"

"So why, only Qin has become stronger because of this?"

"Because..." Ying Zheng was stunned.

The law that profited from military achievements was indeed the fundamental reason why the Qin army was stronger than other countries. Ying Zheng originally thought that such a law should be unique to Qin.

But he didn't expect that other countries also had such laws.

Since everyone has such a law... then why can only Qin fight according to other countries?

Ying Zheng couldn't figure it out.

"You must know that among the benefits given by these laws, Qin State has made the greatest gains in the military achievements!" Ju Zizhou smiled: "Letter, privilege, reward, land, slave."

"As long as there is credit, all of these can be done!"

"Because of the great interests, can Qin State be stronger than other countries?"

"Not right! It has nothing to do with the size of the profit!" Ju Zizhou smiled, got out of the carriage, and sat on the shaft.

Ying Zheng also came out.

"Look at the people in the fields."

"Who are those?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Report to Master... those lowly savages!" Meng Yan, who was on the side, leaned over and said.

"With the same interest, if a savage goes to the battlefield, he will be more brave than a scholar and fight more bravely."

"What?" Ying Zheng was a little confused: "Why?"

He wanted to ask why very early.

"Also, senior brother..." Ying Zheng hesitated for a moment and said, "I feel that this question is very similar to the question I wanted to ask before - a pound of gold can make the rangers work hard for me, but if they put it on the Confucian scholars, a pound of gold, they don't seem to thank me very much...Aren't they also very poor? Why don't they even thank me very much for giving a pound of gold?"

When the six Confucian scholars came to vote, Ying Zheng gave each of them a pound of gold according to the treatment of the rangers.

But these six Confucian scholars were not very grateful, and they had no idea of ​​serving Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng felt very puzzled and always felt that he had lost a lot.

If I had known that I would not have formed a "relationship" with it, Ying Zheng would never have given these guys gold!

"Because the identities of a ranger and a Confucian scholar are different!" Ju Zizhou smiled: "There are different identities, and the opportunities you can get are different!"

"If you apply for the Confucian scholars, you can get a pound of gold, but if you apply for the others, you can also get a pound of gold, and maybe even more."

"But Ranger, there aren't so many opportunities!"

"Opportunity?" Ying Zheng swallowed: "Is it the same as the "opportunity" that Meng Yan worships me?"

"The same meaning." Ju Zizhou smiled: "Meng Yan wants to climb up, and the only opportunity he can have is you. If Confucian scholars want to climb up, they can have many opportunities. If the rangers don't meet you, they won't even have a chance!"

"The number of opportunities is different, so the importance of opportunities will be different!"

"If there are fewer opportunities, opportunities are important, but life is not important; if there are many opportunities, choices and trade-offs will be more important, and opportunities themselves are less important."

"If there is no chance at all, then chance is extremely important, and you can even trade your life for an opportunity."

"So..." Ying Zheng nodded: "What the savages need is actually opportunities!"

"And the laws of Qin State are the opportunities when the Qin people don't have the chance?"

"Not that!" Ju Zizhou still shook his head.

"Senior brother, you said that it is not the size of the profit, nor has it anything to do with the opportunity. Why is that?" Ying Zheng simply stopped guessing.

Because he knew that Ju Zizhou knew the answer, and Ju Zizhou would tell him the answer.

"Because of fairness." Ju Zizhou replied.
