Chapter two hundred and eighty-ninth Shangjun ordered me to leave
At that time, King Wei sent Kong Bin to Zhao State with seventy miles of land.
This gave King Han a great inspiration. He was wondering, even a land worth seventy miles of Kong Bin, how much can Xunzi be worth? At least Zhao can take out a hundred miles of land for exchange?
Unfortunately, the idea of the King of Han was frantically opposed by the Prime Minister Zhang Ping. Zhang Ping pointed at the King of Han's nose and roared rudely: "If you tie Xunzi today, South Korea will perish tomorrow!"
Xunzi didn't know that King Han actually had his own ideas. Of course, because of Zhang Ping's dissuasion, King Han did not send anyone to arrest him when Xunzi left Xinzheng. This made King Han feel very regretful, and it was a pity that he could get a hundred miles of land. Fortunately, King Han still remembered Ma Fujun's previous teachings and wanted to follow the advice of the prime minister more. After Xunzi left Xinzheng, King Han had other ideas.
Zhang Ping sat weakly in the palace. In fact, Zhang Ping was not old, but from the outside, he seemed much older than the King of Korea. This is because he had to deal with many government affairs and faced great difficulties. South Korea was sandwiched between various countries, whether it was self-protection or seeking development, it was very difficult. After Zhang Ping became the prime minister, he made South Korea improve through a series of agricultural reforms.
Unfortunately, this improvement was destroyed by South Korea's changing diplomatic relations. South Korea always constantly changed its position, sometimes helped Wei, sometimes defected to Chu, and sometimes obeyed Qin. All countries did not like it. The people suffered from war, and any efforts of Zhang Ping were easily destroyed by war... Zhang Ping was a person who could make fun of suffering. He was not pessimistic. He might be disappointed with the king, but he never despaired with South Korea.
Years of war, or years of defeat, have almost destroyed the aristocratic forces in South Korea. The entire South Korea is seriously lacking in officials, extremely low administrative efficiency, with a lot of fertile arable land, but not enough labor, outstanding generals, and no soldiers who can fight... The business has also suffered a serious blow, the caravans are not protected, they are bullied abroad, and there is no need to mention handicrafts... Several important raw materials production areas in South Korea have been taken away now.
South Korea almost collapsed completely and was vulnerable.
But Zhang Ping did not give up.
He took advantage of the rare peace period in South Korea to change the current situation. First, he lowered taxes and lowered the taxes of the entire South Korea to the lowest point, because South Korea does not need to conquer wars, does not need to raise officials, and even accumulates food to build... This behavior gave the Koreans a chance to breathe, and successfully attracted many people, and many Koreans who had fled returned to their own countries.
Zhang Ping read the content of "Horse Costume Book" and began to divide the land according to the Korean population. As long as the adult male population was assigned to the land... He set up a school in Xinzheng and unconditionally recruited young people to go to school. Of course... He was responsible for this school in person and he taught it. Moreover, according to the law of Dong Chengzi of Zhao, he copied a Korean law and asked officials from all over the country to act according to the new law.
With Zhang Ping's efforts, South Korea is developing in a good direction. Zhang Ping devoted his main energy to agriculture and commerce. He spent a lot of effort to encourage agriculture and serenity and promote advanced agricultural tools. He also set up a detailed plan for twenty years, including detailed plans from officials, agriculture and serenity, commerce, handicrafts, and even the army. Many of the systems come from the "Horse Costume Book".
The purpose of Zhang Ping's long-term plan for the past 20 years is to allow South Korea to have the power to protect itself and be able to deal with war with allies without causing domestic collapse.
The King of Han sat in the upper position with a smile. Recently, many people have flocked to South Korea, and the number of merchants in Xinzheng has also increased significantly, presenting a "prosperity". The King of Han was very happy. He believed that all this was because of his strategy. If he had not bowed to Qin in time, South Korea would not have developed like this. Zhang Ping sat aside, and he was still thinking about how to ensure that they all could own land while increasing their household registration. However, the King of Han had already begun to think about how to avenge Qin in the future.
"Zhang Xiang... Xunzi is right."
"I used to endure bullying and paid homage to the King of Qin with the etiquette of ministers paying homage to the king... Now many years have passed. During these days, I wish I could sleep on wood, thinking about the shame I suffered all day long, and never thought of giving up revenge on Qin... Now South Korea is gradually prospering, and I want to imitate Goujian..."
"Shangjun..." Zhang Ping shook his head and said tiredly: "You have also been to Qin State and have seen the capital of Qin State... Han Dynasty is not a rival to Qin State. At that time, you betrayed Chu, Zhao and Wei and obeyed the orders of the King of Qin, which made all countries hate Han Dynasty very much. Because of Qin State's protection, they dare not attack Han Dynasty. If you want to break the agreement with Qin State, these countries will pounce on them like jackals, but Han Dynasty has no strength to stop them..."
King Han nodded and smiled.
"Um..."
“What you said makes sense.”
At some point, Zhang Ping really wanted to dig Shen Buhai's grave and whip his body, but Zhang Ping still couldn't help it. It was not only because of Shen Buhai's contribution to Han, nor because of such immoral behavior. It was more because of the fact that there was no fault in learning, but only because of the people who studied this learning had some problems... Zhang Ping continued: "I heard that the young master of Han served as the Tingwei in Qin State, which is beneficial to Han."
"Please reward his family... If so, I hope you can write a letter and ask him to come to Korea. I heard that he is a very knowledgeable person. If he comes to Korea, I can give him the position of the Prime Minister..."
"Fe??", King Han was stunned. Suddenly, he burst into laughter, shook his head and said, "Fe? Fei is still a half-aged child. Qin actually used him as a minister? Hahaha, it seems that Qin will fall after King Zhaoxiang's death!"
"Young Lord... I heard that King Zhaoxiang also attaches great importance to Han Fei. Han Fei has obtained the true teachings of Ma Fujun. He has met King Qin many times and the ministers of Qin, and they all treat him very much..."
"Okay, you don't know... He was grown up. What he was like. Don't you know? The child has been stuttering since he was a child, timid and dare not talk to others... But he is indeed a good child..." King Han smiled, as if recalling the past. He said seriously: "When he was young, he was always ridiculed by other children and learned to speak... At that time, I was the oldest among the royal family, so I often helped him and beat the children who laughed at him!"
"But when he grew up, he no longer became close to me as he used to... He always talked to himself..."
The King of Han suddenly became a little more serious. He looked at Zhang Ping and said, "Even if you want to avenge Qin, you can't use him! That child is grown up by me. He is my clan. If you want to hold his family hostage to force him, I will not agree!"
Zhang Ping was stunned, "When did I say I want to threaten his family?"
"Shangjun, I just think, let him return to Korea..."
"Okay, there is no need to say more. He is just a half-aged child. What can he do if he returns to Korea? Since he can be respected in Qin, this is also a good thing. Let him continue to be in Qin. Maybe he can get a title in Qin in the future... Hahaha~~", the King of Han laughed again. He looked at Zhang Ping and sighed: "I am really old. The child who hid behind me now serves as a key position in Qin..."
"Let me do this... I wrote a letter to King Qin and asked him to take care of Han Fei..."
"Shangjun...If you really think about him and don't want him to return to Korea, then don't write a letter, otherwise, it's just a matter of fear that the King of Qin will be afraid..."
"Oh...well, then I won't write it."
"Zhang Xiang... When I complete my revenge, you are my Fan Li. I will definitely make you richer than Fan Li!"
"Ah... I never thought of seeking wealth for myself..." Zhang Ping said, and silently recited in his heart: As long as I can't see the day when Korea perishes, I will be content.
............
The King of Wei sat in the palace, frowned, looking a little angry.
He looked at Long Yangjun beside him and said with some anger: "It took you a whole five years to make this "House Law"?" Long Yangjun stood aside. The reprimand of King Wei made him feel a little at a loss. The King of Wei never criticized him so severely. Long Yangjun continued: "The Lord... It is not easy to make a law. I have recruited domestic scholars. They took them five years to dare not rest during the day and at night before completing the law."
It turned out that when Dong Chengzi revised the law in Zhao State and Ma Fujun proposed that all countries needed a complete law, the King of Wei thought about formulating the laws of Wei State, and initially it was plagiarized by plagiarizing Qin laws. However, Qin laws were not very similar to the actual situation of Wei State, and changes were needed. So, the King of Wei asked Longyang to be responsible for this matter and established a complete set of laws of Wei State on the basis of Qin laws.
King Wei looked at the bamboo slips in his hand. This was the "House Rules" and "Running Rules" handed to him by Long Yangjun. The contents were all the punishment regulations for "fake doors and backing men, son-in-law and husband". The King Wei was a little irritable. Looking at the bamboo slips, he placed them heavily on the desk. He asked with some angrily: "What's the use of punishing some merchants and son-in-law? Over the years, my scholars have been thinking about how to punish merchants and son-in-law??"
Next to King Wei, there was not only Long Yangjun. In front of King Wei, there was a young scholar sitting. The scholar was tall and majestic and quite extraordinary. When he saw the dispute between King Wei and Lord Long Yang, he raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, what you said is wrong, in my opinion..."
"I am talking to Long Yangjun!" The King of Wei interrupted him very bluntly. A trace of anger flashed across the young man's face. He did not speak anymore and looked ahead. Long Yangjun had to say: "Shangjun, the territory of Wei is vast and there are many people, but some people gave up the city and fled to the wild to reclaim the land themselves. Some became sons-in-laws for the sake of enjoying their own happiness. Many people feared the agricultural tax and went to become merchants and shop owners..."
"The law we have formulated is to punish these people, not allow them to be independent households, not grant land and houses, but to be registered as household registration is the most important task that the State of Wei should implement at present. After compiling household registration, the households with household registration will be given land and houses according to the number of people, and a large amount of land in Wei will be distributed to these people, increasing the strength of Wei State. At the same time, revising household registration can also play a more role..."
The King of Wei shook his head and said disdainfully: "Isn't this the Qin State's solution?"
"No, this is different from the Qin family registration, which is impossible to achieve at all. We do not set up farmers, craftsmen, etc. We will distribute land to all people with registered household registration. Qin distributes land according to their titles...", Long Yangjun talked about the difference again... The more the King of Wei listened, the more boring he became.
"According to the law, these people with low identities will only change their identities after three generations. Moreover, after three generations, those who want to become officials should still state that they are son-in-law in their official records." Long Yangjun said seriously: "Through these methods, increase people who are engaged in farming, stabilize the domestic situation, and increase the strength of Wei..."
"Okay! I know!" The King of Wei shouted.
Long Yangjun lowered his head aggrievedly, his eyes flushed.
When the King of Wei saw Long Yangjun like this, his anger disappeared. He cleared his throat and said helplessly: "I am not angry with you, but the ministers in the country, and the revised law cannot meet my expectations... Please don't care." Long Yangjun said aggrievedly: "I am the person responsible for this matter. If there is any fault, it is also my fault. Please punish me."
"Oh... forget it, let it be implemented in new laws everywhere."
The King of Wei shook his hand helplessly, then smiled and said to Long Yangjun: "Please sit closer..." Long Yangjun raised his head and looked at the young man sitting in front of the King of Wei. The King of Wei remembered that the person in front of him was recommended by Duan Ganzi to him, saying that he was a descendant of the great sage and a son of the office, but the King of Wei did not know him. After the King of Wei taught him, he had not had time to say anything to him, so Long Yangjun came up and took the law he had compiled for many years to anger himself.
King Wei looked at the young man in front of him and said casually: "I have important things to discuss with Long Yangjun. Please come and visit again next day."
The young man stood up with a smile, bowed lightly to the two of them, and left the palace.
As soon as he left the palace, he saw Duan Ganzi driving in the distance. Duan Ganzi obviously saw him, and he jumped out of the car with a smile.
"How is Wei Liao...what is it? What official position will Shangjun grant you?"
"No official position was granted, Shangjun ordered me to leave Wei State."
