Chapter 69 Public opinion

After the movable type was made, Xiong Jing asked Zaofu to build this printing machine based on his impression of the printing machine. This was a completely failed invention. There was no more than a hundred pieces of paper printed in one hour. But he remembered that the printing machine was like this, and there was something like water and oil rejection. The paper was sucked into the printing machine, and the three drums rolled the poster and printed it.

Fortunately, each of the 100 pieces of paper was printed and cut into thirty pages, which was 3,000 pages. This manuscript that changed history was printed less than an hour after the manuscript was arranged. In the afternoon, 1,200 documents that had not yet been completely dried were sent to Yan Chao. Looking at the exquisite bird seal on it, Xiong Jing smiled proudly, but he thought that his smile would disappear before it could last long: at least 200 documents were to be stamped with the seal of King Chu, one for 14 or 5 pages, and the seal was heavy, which was really a chore.

"The king, I will leave." The king could only do the matter with Xi. The ministers couldn't help at all. Besides, they had been tired all night and had already been sleepy and wanted to go back and have a good sleep to see the temple tomorrow.

"Get back." Xiong Jing couldn't help but feel a little bored when he thought of the temple tomorrow. At that time, he would definitely face the opposition from many old ministers and county magistrates, even if he was just "consider of the country", "respecting culture and education", and "respecting ghosts and gods". Did he really do it right?

"What new policy is the king going to implement?" Yang Wenjun bought a house in Yingdu, and all the servants and wives on the fief moved to Yingdu. However, Yan Chaochao still couldn't participate, and he couldn't answer the question asked by Chen Jian at all.

"Mr. Chen thought the king would implement what new policy?" Yang Wenjun asked back.

"The king has been feasting for the honorary soldiers in the army for ten days. This..." Chen Jian asked about the king's words when he was feasting for the honorary soldiers, and was extremely alert to the words "There is no longer a problem for the title of a prince and a marquis." "Will the king want to use honorary soldiers to replace me?"

"Haha...haha..." Yang Wenjun laughed loudly, Chen Jian looked at him for no reason, and only asked again after he finished laughing: "Your Majesty thinks the king has no such a proposal? However, all counties and officials think that the king has this intention."

Chen Jian was the county magistrate of Chen County, Chen County, Xiang County, Qin County, Dun County, Pingyu, Xincai, Qisi, Yingshui, and the upper reaches of the Huai River, and had quietly gathered after coming to Yingdu. It is not impossible for the king to replace the nobles with honorary scholars, but he must replace himself with his own children, rather than the common people or the children of the unrestrained and unremarkable princes.

Unfortunately, in the Battle of Chu and Qin, most of the county magistrates had never participated in the war and became so-called honorary scholars. Most of their children became officials and worked as officials in other good-for-friendly counties. Officials always protect each other. If you promote my son, I will promote your son. The common interchange protons among the countries have evolved to reciprocate the favors of officials.

"Why doesn't Mr. Chen look at the world?" Yang Wenjun sighed after laughing. These county officials attached great importance to their own acre of three-part land.

"The world?" Chen Jian couldn't help but blink, "Dare you ask the king, what does the world mean? What does the king's new policy have to do with the world?"

"What if Zhao State was destroyed by Qin State?" Yang Wenjun reminded. Seeing that Chen Jian still didn't understand, he asked again: "What if Han and Wei were also destroyed by Qin State? What should our Chu State?"

"The State of Zhao is a great country in the world. Even if it was destroyed by Qin, it will be decades later. The countries have conquered for hundreds of years. Isn't this common?" Chen Qian still couldn't figure it out. "Chu State is now in peace with Qin, and we should be at peace. How can the emperor talk about the world?"

"Qin and our Chu state are discussing peace with each other to destroy Zhao state." Yang Wenjun didn't want to talk to Chen Jian. Most of these county and county dukes did not care about the world, but only care about the county and the city. This may be the difference in levels.

"However, Zhao State is a great country." Chen Jian felt that Yang Wenjun was a little impetuous today, and for some reason. Seeing that he didn't want to say too much, he calmed down and settled his thinking. Soon he gave up his insistence on Zhao State is a great country and asked again: "The king thinks that the king's new policy is only for resisting Qin, not for internal affairs?"

"Of course it's not for internal affairs." Qin State is the power that Yang Wenjun relies on for self-reality, and so is the county magistrate. He had to explain again. "The Qin King destroyed the six kingdoms and the whole world should be in these three or forty years. Although the Chu State had Han and Wei as a barrier, the country's destiny lasted for more than ten years. Although I have not seen the new king's policy, it must be a strategy to strengthen the country. Don't you realize that the world is about to change a lot?"

Yang Wenjun was serious, Chen Jian listened seriously but was more surprised than shocked. Indeed, the world had attacked each other for hundreds of years. Who would have thought that it would end suddenly within seventeen years? Zhao State seemed very powerful, and Qi State had not had any war for decades. I heard that half of the millet was rotten in the granary, and the ropes of knives and coins had long been rotten and could not count them. The Chu army defeated the Qin army a few months ago and beheaded 30,000. What is the difference between this world and the world hundreds of years ago?

Chen Jian came to the small town of Shouling Jun outside the city with many doubts. Many county officials gathered here. Before he got off the bus, someone invited him to the Central Court to discuss the matter.

"I've met Mr. Chen." Xi County Yin Chengjie smiled and bowed to Chen Jian.

"I've met Mr. Chen." At this time, the central court gathered dozens of county and county dukes, but no matter who they were, they stood up to salute Chen Jian.

"Can Mr. Chen gain something when he enters the city?" Shoulingjun, a landlord, looked at Chen Jian. He knew that Chen Jian had gone to Yang Wenjun's mansion.

"Nothing was obtained." In addition to being respected, Chen Jian was respected, the more important reason is that Chen County is the largest county in the State of Chu. Although the Fu Qiancheng is a bit exaggerated, no county in the country can be richer than Chen County.

"However," Chen Jian recalled what Yang Wenjun said, adding: "Yang Wenjun said that the world is about to change greatly, and the Qin people will destroy the six kingdoms and the whole world, so the king's new policy..."

"I heard that Yang Wenjun is going to be the new imperial court. Since he is the imperial court, he is speaking for the king and cannot trust him." Xiang Chengjun was angry. He also visited Yang Wenjun a few days ago and did not want to be rejected. Of course, that was not a rejection, but Yang Wenjun was just asking for a guest and was inconvenient to receive him.

"Miac. The emperor is Naojiu." Xia Cai County Duke said. "Naojiu went out of the city to worship his ancestors a few days ago. How could he worship his ancestors if he did not worship his ancestors?"

Xia Cai is on the north bank of Huai River opposite Yingdu, and moved eastward to the Hou Nao Mausoleum in the south of Xia Cai Mountain. Nao's ancestor worship can be hidden from others, but can't be hidden from Xia Cai County Mausoleum. After he said this, Chen Jian, who was interrupted by Xiang Chengjun, continued to say under the expectations of everyone: "Yang Wenjun's intention is that the king's new policy is mostly a strategy to strengthen the country, not..."

"The strategy to strengthen the country?" Someone couldn't help but wail. It was Peng Chengyin. "The king must do the Qin method!"

"You have to implement the Qin method?" Everyone looked at Chen Jian urgently, hoping that he would have an explanation.

"Yang Wenjun doesn't know whether to practice Qin's law." Chen Jian replied, "However, if he is a ruling magistrate, he will not practice Qin's law."

"Yes, the old man Zhaoshu is also among the court discussions. If the Qin law is implemented, his family's wealth will not be protected." Xiang Que, the Xiang County Duke, agreed loudly. "The army is still in Chengyang and has not been entrusted with the Qin people to follow the decision. If the king tells us that the State of Chu will change the Qin law, the morale of the army will be in chaos."

"Why did King Xiang announce the new policy when he saw the temple?" Xiang Que was the second person he valued after Chen Jian. This had nothing to do with Xiang County. Instead, his younger brother Xiang Yan was the general and defeated the Qin people.

"The reforms of all countries are announced when the new king's temple were met. In the past, when Duke Xiao of Qin was asked for a talent, he announced when the temple was met. However, the first month of Qin was the first month of Qin, and the first month of Chu was the first, and everyone did not investigate it." Xiang Que said. "The king had not yet begun to fight and personally held the ceremony of La Sacrifice. The ambition could be seen. He also heard that the king had hated the Qin people, and Yiquan had cut off his hair for the common people. Can such a king be used in Qin's laws?"

"This is true for Mr. Xiang." A group of people agreed. Cheng Jie said. "The reforms of all countries are based on the scholars and ministers of other countries. Whether Naoji is the chief minister, Yang Wenjun is the chief minister, they are all from our Chu. The new policy of Qin is not allowed."

"What will the king do?" This is not true, no, the county and the kings were a little tired. When Shouling Jun, Chen Jian, Xiang Que and others left, the central court started singing and dancing again after the chaos. When the officials were tired, they forgot what to see in the temple tomorrow and drank happily.

Shouling Jun took Chen Jian and others to a small town for a few turns, and finally came to a place where music could not be heard. After entering the hall, the old Chunshen Jun guests Tang Sui, Yu Qing, Huang Xie’s former confidant Zhu Guan, and Zhou Wen were all inside.

Tang Ju returned to Qin last month, and Yingdu was not the capital of Ying yesterday. Chunshen Jun, who was powerful in the court, died as soon as he said he had died. Jing Hua has not yet obtained it. The huge fiefdom of the past was taken back by the court and only one Yuanling was re-entrusted. The eldest son Huang Kang sent thousands of guests to the palace on the day he was enfeoffed. He would lose his identity when he joined other families. Zhu Guan had to come to find Shouling Jun, who was also of his original lineage.

"I have met Mr. Tang, Yu Qing, Ziguan, Ziwen." Before Tang Sui and others bowed, Chen Jian had already bowed heavily. Following him, Xiang Que, Cheng Jie and others bowed heavily.

"I dare not accept Mr. Chen's gifts." Tang Sui's wrinkled face filled with smiles. Zhu Guan, Yu Qing, and Zhou Wen also said: "I can only wait for a guest. Mr. Chen's gifts are not dare to accept Mr. Chen's gifts."

"Duke Tang said to King Qin, and King Qin sent people to seek peace with Chu; Yu Qing's talent could be the prime minister of the country; Zi Guan was wise and Zi Wen was brave, and all four were national scholars, but the king was blinded by others..." After Chen Jian said Taixi, he bowed to the four people solemnly.

After this ceremony, several people sat down. Shouling Jun said, "When the king was there, my country of Chu saved Zhao and destroyed Lu. Now the people who were not yet roe became kings. The Qin people attacked me, the Wei people attacked me, and the Qi people also attacked me. Ju County is still at the hands of the enemy, and I don't know when to recover it."

Shouling Jun has always been Huang Xie’s best friend. Although his words were biased, it was not difficult to understand. Chen Jian smiled and said, “After the Qin people negotiated peace, they should be recovered. However, the new king is indeed troublesome and is not as good as the previous king.”

"At the time of the previous kings, the state of Qin was not determined. Now that the King of Qin was in charge of the rule, the Marquis of Wen Xin was resigned, and the world would be about to change a lot." Tang Qi stopped his title and said with a tribute.

"Duke Tang thought that if Qin State had made every effort to attack Zhao, what would Zhao State be?" Chen Jian asked suddenly.
