In the afternoon, it was just the right time for the sun to wake up, and Xunzi's "noon sleep".

It is not possible to wake up. Although you have very little income, you have to face it.

Ju Zizhou's temper, righteousness, thoughts, and purpose are mostly unknown, and this is the most difficult enemy he has encountered.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that he has good knowledge, quick thinking, and knowledge level, he should be said to be a person who is not inferior to himself.

Xunqiu took a deep breath, came to the school, and sent someone to find Ju Zizhou.

Some scholars listened to the debate between Xunzi and Ju Zizhou in the morning and knew that there would be such a debate in the afternoon, so they waited early in the school, and along with some people who heard the news and rushed over temporarily.

When they saw Xunzi appear, they quickly paid a visit.

Xunzi had been polite to them, so he waited for Ju Zizhou.

When Xun and Ju Zizhou arrived together, the scholars and Xunzi had been waiting for a long time.

"Master Xun, Wu'an." Ju Zizhou bowed to Xunqiu, and then sat not far away in front of him.

"Mr. Ju." Xunzi smiled slightly: "Is it okay for a sir to have a rest at noon?"

"It's okay, thank you Master Xun for your care." Ju Zizhou thanked Xun.

Xunzi raised his hand and pressed down: "Mr. Ju, eat enough and sleep well, let's continue what we said in the morning, don't delay any more."

Ju Zizhou was speechless.

I didn’t call me to stop this morning, right? Why did you, old man, just like I called me to stop the debate and want to escape?

There was a complaint in his heart, Ju Zizhou did not express it, but just showed a gesture of following the flow of good deeds: "Listen to the Master's will."

Xunzi breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he spoke, "In the morning, we talked about the difference between strength and weakness of the country."

Xunzi looked at Ju Zizhou with an inquiring look: "Mr. Ju means that policies that cannot be implemented in Chu State can be implemented in Qin State?"

"The implementation of policies mainly depends on the actual situation within the country, the relationship with the outside of the country, and with foreign countries."

"The situation of Chu State, Master Xun lives here, and he has some understanding of it."

"The Master is in the position of the county magistrate and is in his home and in his school, and teaches lectures and preaches. Mr. Yu is naturally of noble virtue and admirable; however, the Master."

"What should your behavior be considered to the State of Chu and the State of Chu? "

"The county is the outer leader directly under the monarch. It should have been ordered by the monarch, that is, the King of Chu."

"But who did the Master entrust the trivial matters in the county? In the end, who will be ordered by this county?"

The answer is undoubtedly Chunshenjun Huang Xie.

Xunzi said nothing.

He had guessed what Ju Zizhou wanted to say.

"Does the Master know how many counties like Lanling County are still there?"

Ju Zizhou changed his tone.

Xunzi was very surprised.

Don't you want to defend yourself?

"In such a county, monarch, and court orders are not as effective as those of powerful ministers. The coordinated policies are formulated like nonsense."

"A country like this is like a loose sand when it is to the outside world!" Ju Zizhou asked, "Master Xun, any policy that damages Chunshen Jun's name cannot be implemented, right?"

Xunzi said nothing.

"Master, why not guess how many such counties are there in Qin State?"

There must be not many.

Xunzi was a little moved.

"When the territory and the number of people is equal, one is that the government orders are blocked everywhere, the policies cannot be unified, the orders cannot be conveyed, and the top and bottom cannot be united; the other is that the policies are unobstructed everywhere, the policies are consistent, the orders are unblocked, and the top and bottom work together."

"This is the difference between a strong country and a weak country."

Xunzi thought: "So, if the country is strong, then..."

Then we need to crack down on "exceptions" like Chunshenjun.

Or, it is an exception like Chunshenjun that becomes the will of this country.

In any case, a country cannot have two centers.

"It is necessary to minimize the forces that hinder the core policies as much as possible under the conditions of adhering to their core policies." Ju Zizhou said sinisterly.

Xunzi looked at Ju Zizhou with eyes.

This sentence is very murderous.

"What does Mr. Ju mean?"

"Take the 'expanded tax system' we have mentioned as an example." Ju Zizhou said casually: "Do Master Xun know who the main tax paying group in Chu State is?"

“Who are there anyone who knows that they should pay taxes in name but are actually not really responsible for taxes?”

"Do you know what part of the people who are less burdened after the tax system is expanded, and what part of the people who are more burdened?"

"Do you know who will benefit and who will lose?"

Xunzi didn't know about it an hour and a half ago.

And now, he knows.

Ju Zizhou looked at Xunzi: "Then, if the 'all the lands in the country are converted into counties' as the basic national policy, then expanding the tax system will be a must; once this is the 'central' policy of Master Xun, this is a country's 'central' policy."

"And the forces that go against it need to be cut off."

"If the country wants to truly implement policies in the future, it must focus on the 'central' policy and others as auxiliary."

"The key to whether the policy can be truly implemented and whether the country is stable is whether it can minimize the obstacles to the 'central' policy."

That is, kill those who hinder the implementation of the new tax system as much as possible.

"If these obstacles are too strong, then the 'central' policy cannot be implemented, and the worst result is that people will die and the government will be extinguished."

"In this way, the lands in the country are all concepts of counties and counties, and they will be destroyed."

"The same is true for the world."

Ju Zizhou smiled badly: "Master Xun, do you think so?"

Xunzi's hands were unable to release them.

His eyebrows were deeply locked.

This is an area he has barely touched.

Under normal circumstances, Xuncun's political mind is moderate, focusing on "reason" and "name".

Those with righteous names are righteous words.

Those who are straightforward will be strong.

The core of all this is the completeness of human virtue and "ritual".

But Ju Zizhou's words today seem to make sense.

Especially the difference between a strong country and a weak country is the most correct in Xunzi's eyes.

However...but something seems to be missing...

Xuncun was depressed.

...

"Please give me death penalty to you." Guard Zhang Xin knelt in front of Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng was dealing with government affairs. When he heard this, he didn't raise his head: "Tell me what's going on."

Zhengliu, who was instructing specific matters of road construction, saw the person who was kneeling down, and thought for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, this person has an affair with a palace servant who was serving in Xuan Palace. I ran into this morning."

Ying Zheng didn't speak for a moment.

This is a trivial matter.

Not worthy of too much attention.

The palace ladies who served in the palace were nominally the private property of the "King of Qin" and were also the women of the King of Qin.

Any foreign minister who has a relationship with it without the permission of the King of Qin is a sin.

When Zhang Xin saw Ying Zheng, he didn't speak, and robbed the ground with his head, and made a dull sound. He saw blood on his forehead two or three times: "I'm asking Your Majesty to spare Yue. All the crimes are my crimes. I deserve to die. Please forgive her."

His begging like this made Ying Zheng very irritable.

"A love story, you are a good man, have military achievements and a future. Are you really willing to die for a maid who is not worthy of your identity, family background, or appearance?"

Zhang Xin was shocked.

Ying Zheng is indeed the king who is convinced and willing to follow the Qin people, but in Zhang Xin's mind, this king has never been related to the word "kindness"!
