The King of Qin could not continue to stay in Shangdang, nor could he let Zhao Kuo stay here.

So, after a while, the King of Qin finally sent someone to take Wu Chengjun back to Xianyang. Zhao Kuo needed to bring his family, disciples, disciples, and followers to Xianyang. Speaking of which, Zhao's mother was the least willing to leave.

She hugged Kang, sat on the bed with a stern face. Zhao Kuo stood aside, everyone was preparing to go to Xianyang, but her mother refused to go, so she sat here without saying a word. No matter how Zhao Kuo persuaded her, she would not reply. Zhao Kuo knew in her heart that her mother had lived in Zhao State for the rest of her life, and the people she knew were there, and the familiar ones she had stayed there. She was unwilling to leave Zhao State.

"Mother... I can't go back to Zhao State... Because of my reasons, some people in Zhao State want to murder you. If I go back, more people will become targets of attack by villains because of me... Just like Xinlingjun, when I was in Zhao State, he was always framed and everyone hated him. His original reputation was also hit. People often assassinate him and murder him, but what about now?"

"He was in his courtyard, drinking wine, and staying freely with his friends. No one was hostile to him anymore. And Dong Chengzi..."

"Bao...do you think Wei Wuji is willing to endure the suffering with you, or is willing to drink and have fun alone? When do you think he is happier?"

Zhao Kuo was silent for a moment before saying, "I can't let my family and the people I care about be in danger. If you don't want to stay in Qin? Can I take you away? We go to Chu, go to Qi... but we can't be in Zhao..."? Zhao's mother gently shook the child in her arms? Then she said, "Zhao State is dangerous... Is Qin State very safe? If you stay in Qin, no one wants to murder the people around you?"

Zhao Kuo raised his head? He said seriously: "I don't know, but I will protect my family... You don't know? When I knew that King Zhao wanted to capture Zheng? I wanted to kill me through you, I was really angry. If he sent someone to kill me uprightly, I wouldn't be so angry... If a man? I can't even protect his own family? Who is that man?"

"I really wanted to kill him at that time... If something happened to you, I would definitely kill him."

"Luckily you're fine..."

"I know that killing King Zhao will cause turmoil in the country and kill more people... This is why I left Zhao State. I am not a sage. For my own family? I may also do something regardless of the consequences... I am afraid that I will stay in Zhao State, one day? I can't control myself because of the people I care about? Kill more people."

"Mother..." Zhao Kuo bent down? Half kneeled in front of his mother? He said seriously: "Please follow me, right? You are the person I love the most in my life. If you are not by my side, who should I tell you about the pain and fear in my heart?" Zhao's mother lowered her head and looked at Zhao Kuo's red eyes. All the words in her heart were blocked in her throat and could not say it.

Zhao's mother reached out and gently stroked Zhao Kuo's face.

"I'm afraid... your father will not be able to find us..."

"If I die somewhere else...how can I meet your father after death?"

Looking at the mother with tears on her face, Zhao Kuo held her mother's hand, shook her head, and said, "Don't worry, my father won't be able to find us... He has always been by our side and never left us... When I went to fight to kill the enemy, I could hear my father beating the drums for me. When I wanted to do something against my conscience, I could feel my father's stern gaze and staring at me behind my back... I remember, when I was very young, my father told me that I was him."

"Mother... His blood is bleed on me...I am his continuation... Now, he is here..." Zhao Kuo patted his chest, and he lowered his head and pointed to Kang in his mother's arms, "Here is also..."

"Look? Do we look like him?"

Zhao's mother finally agreed to Zhao Kuo. The family was ready to go out. The King of Qin prepared a special carriage for Yi. The outside of the carriage was actually covered, which was similar to the kind that Zhao Kuo saw in the movie and TV series. Zhao Kuo was a little surprised. The King of Qin told him that this was made by craftsmen in China. Because the Beidi County and other areas were particularly cold, the craftsmen made such a carriage that could resist the cold when traveling.

However, the cost of this carriage is a bit high and is not suitable for the common people.

Nowadays, such carriages are being built in various parts of the Qin State, and they will probably be promoted to all places, even all over the world.

The guests were also prepared. With Di here, they did not always be immersed in sadness. Di is an interesting person. This is how the King of Qin commented. Di has a new friend, that is, the King of Qin. The King of Qin likes this long-lasting barbarian. He can always say what others dare not say. He will not pretend and brag about his past. Every time the King of Qin comes to find Zhao Kuo, he always talks with him happily.

The King of Qin felt that Di did not treat him as a king at all, and occasionally placed his hand on the King of Qin's shoulders. Qin warriors angrily drew their swords. Xun, Ge and others' expressions changed drastically, but the King of Qin didn't care. He laughed.

He said: This is why he likes to chat with Di.

In Qin, although they left their hometown, they could gather together every day. Listening to Di brag about his friendship with the King of Qin, watching Ge and Xing quarrel, Li Yu was also recording what he saw in Qin. He traveled through various countries, but had never been to Qin. Han Fei was even more exaggerated. He often disappeared, and once he disappeared, he disappeared for seven or eight days. He seemed to be very interested in the Qin system. He kept writing wildly with his pen all day long, and bamboo slips piled up into mountains.

Zhao Kuo was still a little worried. What he was worried about was the people who followed him here. The King of Qin took him to see the people. The Shangdang County Magistrate gave them accommodation, houses, farmland, farm tools, and even plowing oxen, and enjoyed the treatment of a first-class title. When he found that Zhao Kuo was coming, the Zhao people were all excited and chatted with Zhao Kuo. They all looked very happy.

The officials did not bully them. On the contrary, they got more arable land here. It was heard that the taxes here were easier than those in Zhao. Although there were more corvee labor, corvee labor did not delay farming and sericulture, and were usually carried out after the busy farming. In the eyes of Zhao, Qin was really an army disguised as a country. All their purposes were for war, and everyone worked for war.

Therefore, the most important thing in Qin State was farming and practice. Everything had to make way for these two things, so corvee and other things had to avoid busy farming and could not even have any impact on agriculture.

Finally, Zhao Kuo got on the carriage and set off towards Xianyang with his family, disciples and disciples.

After entering the hinterland of Qin, we can increasingly experience the atmosphere different from other countries. In terms of the amount of cultivated land, Qin State crushed all countries because of the Qin system, allowing the people to reclaim land spontaneously and recognize the private ownership of the land... This stimulated the enthusiasm of the people to reclaim land. Farmers in other countries are similar to employees, working for the company, and the company leaves them with food that can make a living, and others are taken away.

The farmers in Qin State are equivalent to self-employed people. They work for themselves and hand over some of the prescribed wealth, and the rest can be kept.

Therefore, the Qin State's reclamation rate was very high, and there were cultivated land everywhere on both sides of the road. You could see the hard-working people working on the cultivated land. The officials were very supportive of this behavior. Sometimes, they would also use their own private property to support the people in their jurisdiction. Of course, this was to be secretly carried out, which was cheating. The Qin State wanted to conduct a farming competition, to see who planted more grain, and then there were libi, township, county, county and county, county and county. Officials who got good rankings would be rewarded and promoted.

The few who are the last will be scolded and demoted, and if they win the last two consecutive times, they will be arrested and sentenced.

This is why Wang Ji, the governor of Shangdang County, thought of defecting, because he took the last two times. If he took it again, he would be taken to Xianyang for punishment.

The first feature of Qin State is the lot of arable land, and the second feature is the many pavilions. These pavilions are equivalent to the later police station directors. They inspect their territory, promote laws, and arrest thieves. Every time they walk a distance, they can see a team of knights. Under the leadership of the pavilion chief, they check their passes and "id cards"... Of course, the King of Qin himself does not have an "id card", but Zhao Kuo has.

Zhao Kuo obtained his "identity card" from this era, which was given to him by the King of Qin. The owner recorded his name, title, height, occupation, hometown and other information in detail. He also had a "household registration book". As the head of the household, Zhao Kuo saw that it recorded all the situation in his family, but the household registration book was to be handed over to local officials for custody.

Zhao Kuo suddenly realized that in Qin, it was probably impossible to visit privately on a private basis, because every place would carefully investigate. At the beginning, the King of Qin used his identity as Yang Quanjun when he traveled. It is said that this was a noble in China. He wanted Zhao Kuo to see the real Qin State. However, the local pavilion chief thought that the height of the two was not as good as that, and this was fake, so he almost had to arrest him. After the King of Qin revealed his true identity, the pavilion chief quickly apologized.

The King of Qin still rewarded the pavilion chief with great reward.

Then, the King of Qin stopped covering up, got on his carriage, and set out towards Xianyang with a swagger. Now no pavilion chief came to make things difficult for them. Han Fei was still busy remembering it. It seemed that he had recorded this matter. Zhao Kuo was often with Yi and Kang, and of course he did not forget Zheng. He didn't know who gave Zheng a little horse, and he played with the horse all day long.

The foal was too small to carry people, and Zhao Kuo did not dare to let Zhao Zheng ride a horse. He was still too young. Zhao Zheng could only sit in the carriage and tied the foal to the carriage. Whenever everyone stopped to rest, he would lead the foal around, and Zhao's mother could not catch up with him at all. Fortunately, the King of Qin sent warriors to follow him so that he would not be injured. When the convoy passed through Hangu Pass, the rigorous and old-fashioned atmosphere became even stronger.

The people who were preparing to farm were all moving forward in line. Zhao Kuo didn't know if this was the result of long-term practice or if Qin had such regulations. Anyway, he was like he had come to a large military camp, not a country.

They came to a mountain. The King of Qin then took Zhao Kuo's hand and brought him here. The whole mountain was planted with peach trees... The peach trees had not grown up yet, they all looked a little low and had not blossomed. The King of Qin pulled Zhao Kuo here and said to Zhao Kuo seriously: "I heard that you like peaches, so I ordered that peach trees be planted with peach trees... This is not far from Xianyang... I thought that if you can come to Xianyang, you can come here to play in your spare time..."

"I want to reward you with this mountain..."

Zhao Kuo looked at the Taoshan Mountain in surprise. All the places he could see were planted with trees. Xunzi, Gongsun Long, Han Fei and others followed not far away, looking around in surprise. To be honest, Zhao Kuo was really moved. The King of Qin found a clean place and asked someone to put on the seat. Everyone sat down here. Gongsun Long looked around and said with a smile: "If it is spring, there is a different atmosphere when we sit here."

"I heard that Wu Chengjun said: The simple places are no longer simple because of the people living here."

"Now, in this humble mountain, there are people like Wu Chengjun, Xunzi, Gongsunzi, and Han Fei. In my opinion, this place is no longer simple." Gongsun Long smiled and nodded, thinking that he was right. Everyone sat here quietly, listening to the wind blowing through the treetops, making a rustling sound. A touch of red appeared in the sky, and the sun became dark red. Half of his body was hidden at the foot of the mountain, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the earth.

The sunset shines the earth red.

The King of Qin straightened his body, looked at the people in front of him, and asked, "Why do you guys do you have the method of governing the country?"

Zhao Kuo, Xunzi and others looked at each other, but they didn't speak, just smiled.

Han Fei looked at them and finally put down the pen in his hand and the bamboo slips. This action attracted everyone's attention. Han Fei then said, "I heard: if you don't know, it is unwise; if you know, it is disloyal. As a minister, it is deceased; if you speak inappropriately, it is deceased. Even so, I am still willing to tell you all about my experiences and please judge my guilt of making suggestions."

"I heard: the northern Yan and southern Wei in the world connect Chu and Qi, and form a coalition of Han and the power of the Union and Zong, intending to go west to oppose the powerful Qin. I privately ridiculed them. There are three ways of destruction in the world, and all the six countries have occupied it. It is probably the case of the Union and Zong attacking Qin!"

"I have heard: the stable will perish with a chaotic attack, the righteous will perish with an evil attack, and the wrong attack will perish with a perverse attack."

"Now the treasury of the six countries is dissatisfied, and the granaries are empty. They recruited the people of the whole country and expanded their troops by hundreds of millions. Among them, more than a thousand people who received the order of Dai Yu as a general and vowed to fight to the death on the front line. They all said they were not afraid of death. With the sharp blade, the torture instruments were behind, but they still retreated and fled and could not fight to death. It was not that these soldiers could not fight to death, but that the monarchs of the six countries could not make them fight to death. They said that they would reward but did not issue them, and that they would punish but did not execute them. The reward and punishment were untrustworthy..."

Han Fei suddenly spoke, and the King of Qin was shocked. He called Han Fei, originally to let him record the words of everyone. He hurriedly looked into the distance, waved his hand anxiously, rushed from the distance, stood behind them, and began to record.

Han Fei no longer stuttered, no longer confused, no longer recorded. He became more and more excited as he spoke. He stood up, stretched out his hand, and spoke in the direction of the six countries. He talked about the opportunities that Qin could get to the world several times, and said that Qin had voluntarily given up these opportunities. He also talked about the disadvantages of the six countries, the advantages of Qin, and the ways to deal with the six countries. Finally, he looked at the King of Qin and said confidently:

"The king really listened to my strategy: if the world cannot be separated in one fell swoop, Zhao cannot conquer, Han cannot perish, Chu, Wei cannot surrender, Qi, Yan cannot surrender, the name of overlord cannot be achieved, and if the neighbors do not come to worship, the king will kill me and show the whole country to the public, as a precept for planning for the king who cannot do his best!"

Except for Zhao Kuo, Xunzi, Gongsun Long and King of Qin, they were completely stunned.

"No!!" Xunzi suddenly stood up, his face full of solemnity, and he said seriously: "I heard that the mold of sword casting is flat, the quality of copper and tin is good, the skill of the sword casting craftsmen is excellent, and the heat and ingredients are just right. In this way, the sword is cast by opening the mold."

"But if the sword is not quenched and sharpened, it cannot even be cut off; even if it is quenched and sharpened, even if it is used to cut copper, it is easy to kill cattle and horses. The people of a country are like a sword that has just been taken out of the mold. But if they are not educated and coordinated, then they cannot rely on them to defend their territory internally, and they cannot use them to fight outside..."

"There are three majesties: moral majesty, harsh supervision majesty, and reckless majesty. These three majesty must be carefully examined. The ritual and music system is perfect, the moral status is clear, and various measures are in time. Those who care for the people and benefit the people are shown. In this way, the people will respect the monarch as much as the heaven, respect the heaven, respect the monarch as much as the parents, and respect the monarch as the gods..."

"The Qin State's border is steep, with convenient terrain, beautiful mountains, forests and rivers, and rich natural resources. This is the superiority of the terrain. Entering the territory and observing its customs, the people are simple, the music is not lewd and humble, and the clothes are not frivolous and charming. People are very afraid of officials and are very tame, just like the ancient people."

"When you arrive at the government offices of large and small towns, all the officials there are serious and serious, all of whom are humble, frugal, honest and cautious, loyal and trustworthy, not sloppy and hasty, they are really like officials under the rule of the ancient sage king. Entering its city, observing the local doctors there, walking out of their own homes, walking out of their own yamen, walking out of their own yamen, returning to their own homes, without private affairs; not colluding with each other, not forming parties, and outstandingly, no one is unwise and honest and dedicated to the public, just like the officials in ancient times."

"When observing its court, when you retreat before the court, everything must be handled. It seems as if there is nothing to do. It is really like the ancient court. Therefore, the four generations of Qin State are strong not because of luck, but because of the inevitable result. This is what I have seen. Therefore, it is said: it is peaceful and well-managed, with simple and detailed government orders, and without any troubles, but with achievements. This is the highest level of politics. Qin State is similar."

Han Fei listened carefully to Xunzi's expression of his point of view, frowned, and began to think seriously.

"wrong!!"

Gongsun Long suddenly stood up and said, "Can the limited concept be said to be a certain concept in the time when there is no aspect and the limit? The limited concept can no longer be said to be a certain concept in the time when there is no aspect and the limit! Can the generalized class concept be said to be a certain concept in the original generalized? The generalized class concept can no longer be said to be a certain concept in the original generalized!!"

"......... If the name and reality are confusing, the monarch and ministers will fight against each other and orders are not the same. If the orders are not the same, right and wrong will be unclear. Right and wrong will be unclear, politics will be dark. This is a violation of the basic logic of the logic of not two clarity. If the basic logic of logic is violated, the name and reality will not correspond, and the truth will not be in line with the reality. The reality will not be in line with the name and the truth will not be in line with the name and the truth will not be in line with the name and the truth will be filled with evil but not confusing. Violating the basic logic of "not two clarity" will inevitably lead to the governance. There is no way to correct the name and reality to unify the world!"

"wrong!!"

Zhao Kuo stood up, looked at the three people in front of him, and said seriously: "Han Fei mentioned the strength of Qin in military power. As I know, in the past, Zhou Zhou of Shang was the emperor, leading a million troops in the world, drinking Qi water on the left and Huan water on the right. The Qi water was dry and the Huan water didn't flow. He used such a huge lineup to fight against King Wu of Zhou. King Wu led the three soldiers of the simple army and started a day of war, and destroyed the country of Zhou Zhou and captured King Zhou himself alive!"

"Only possess strong force, but not the people. Even if you defeat the enemy, this kind of victory is not long-lasting! You have the power and status to subdue others and implement measures to subdue others, and no one in the world resents them. Shang Tang and King Wu of Zhou are such people. If you have the power and status to subdue others, you will have the power to rule the world, but now you are not able to do so by asking for a commoner. Xia Jie and King Zhou of Shang are such people."

"Xunzi said, "In today's era, it is better to increase credit than to work hard to expand territory." But what I know is that today's princes are fighting with each other, hoping to kill each other, destroy each other's temples, and not give him a chance to worship. In such an era, stop expanding territory is just to increase his credit among the princes. This is not enough to achieve a king's world. If you don't work hard to become stronger, that is to give the enemy a chance!"

"What Gongsun Long said: I agree that clarifying the concept is indeed what the king should do, but you are too obsessed with the relationship between name and reality. Is this possible for governing the country by relying solely on the logic of name and reality?"

The three of them stood in three directions, looked at each other and had a fighting spirit burst out.
Chapter completed!
