Self-cultivation of the traveler of the world

Shang Yang's reforms encouraged population growth, emphasized agriculture and suppressed business, abolished the system of nobles and nobles, rewarded military merits, established household registration, implemented the law of continuous sitting, recruited people from the three Jin Dynasties to open up wilderness, and moved the capital of Xianyang to suppress nobles.

In just 20 years, the state of Qin became rich and strong, the family was full of people, the people were ashamed of private struggles, bravely fought in public, defeated Wei State in a row, and took the land of Hexi in one fell swoop. After that, Qin State set its sights on unifying the world!

King Huiwen of Qin ascended the throne, exterminated Shang Yang, and did not change his laws. With Zhang Yi's strategy, he conquered the six countries, conquered Yiqu in the north, flattened Bashu in the west, left Hangu in the east, and went to Shangyu in the south, laying a solid foundation for the unification of Qin.

When King Qin Zhaoxiang came to the throne, he appointed Bai Qi as a general, and defeated Zhao, Wei, Han, Chu, and Qi successively.

Capture the east of the Wei State, Nanyang, the middle of the Chu State, and the capital of Ying.

Launched the Battle of Changping, annihilated 40 Zhao troops, captured Luoyi in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, captured King Nan of Zhou, moved Jiuding to Qin, and completely destroyed the Zhou Dynasty Guozuo.

Domination of the world has always been difficult and dangerous.

It took two generations for Shang to destroy Xia, and three generations for Zhou to destroy Shang.

The unification of Qin was even more difficult. Six generations in succession, from Qin Fa to Ming Jun, finally had the first emperor who survived Fen VI!

Is the great Qin Dynasty lucky enough to advance in vain?

Chapter 175 The Age of Fraud

Qin State, the most powerful country among the seven heroes of the Warring States Period, since Shang Yang's reform, the national power of Qin State has been increasing day by day, making the six eastern countries fearful.

The reform of this country is the most thorough among the countries, and its system, culture, ideology and other aspects are very different from other countries.

The aristocratic power of this country has been suppressed to the lowest level, which is also the most fundamental reason why other countries hate Qin.

The existence of the Qin State reminds people of the six eastern countries all the time that the corrupt nobles are moths that hinder the development of the country!

His existence is the biggest mockery of the six eastern countries!

The Six Kingdoms had nothing to do with Qin, they could only expect the country to degenerate by itself.

But the Qin law that Shang Jun laid the foundation with blood is still there, and Qin is destined to continue to prosper!

The convoy was moving slowly. Wang Xuebin sat in the car, looking out of the car with his head stuck out, observing the clothes and food of the people.

From time to time, I would get out of the car and wander around, chatting with the people in the fields and learning about the living habits of the people.

Cai Ze stayed by Wang Xuebin's side all the time, listening to what Wang Xuebin asked, and never interrupted.

They walked and observed all the way, and finally came to Xianyang, the capital of Qin State.

"Mr. Guanlan has watched all the way, and has a detailed understanding of the Qin State. I don't know how to teach me the king?"

Sitting in the car, Wang Xuebin was looking at the majestic city outside the car. When he heard Cai Ze's sudden question, he turned around and smiled:

"Everyone in the world knows that Qin is strong and prosperous, and there is the law of Shang Jun. Why should I, a vulgar person, talk about it?"

Cai Ze looked at Wang Xuebin calmly, and said earnestly:

"What did you say sir?

Your Majesty has always admired you for his great talent, and he often used his words to teach the ministers of the country. This time, I specially invited you here to seek advice from you on how to govern the country. Mr. Wan Wang will give you advice! "

Wang Xuebin looked at him, shook his head, did not answer, looked at the city and said:

"Xianyang City is the most deserted city among the cities I have seen!"

Xianyang City is indeed the most deserted among all countries. There are no rangers with swords, no scholars traveling and gathering, no noble carriages and horses, and even few industries and businesses. It is very deserted.

Cai Ze explained with a smile when he heard the words:

"Since the reform of Lord Shang, the state of Qin has strictly enforced the legal system and punished the five beetles. Therefore, the city does not look like the prosperity of the eastern countries, but its vitality is beyond the reach of other countries!"

Wang Xuebin looked at the energetic defenders, nodded, and said nothing.

Seeing this, Cai Ze didn't ask any further questions, and said with a smile:

"Sir, you have worked hard all the way. Please go to the residence to rest and get some rest. Your Majesty will hold a banquet in the palace tomorrow to entertain you!"

Wang Xuebin nodded, and did not reject Cai Ze's arrangement. To be honest, he also wanted to meet the famous King Qin.

In the Palace of the King of Qin, the dusty Cai Ze knelt and sat under the head of the King of Qin, reporting on Wang Xuebin's situation.

"Your Majesty, Wang Guanlan is truly worthy of the name. I follow him around. Although I have never asked for advice, I have gained a lot along the way, which has greatly benefited my governing the country!"

King Qin sat in front of the desk, listening carefully to Cai Zezhi's words, with a serious expression, not knowing what he was thinking.

"I don't know what Xiangbang has gained, can you teach me?"

When Cai Ze heard this, his expression suddenly became serious.

"Every time Wang Guanlan goes to a place, he will carefully check the local population, fields, food fodder, folk customs and people's grievances. At first, I didn't care about it, but after traveling all the way, I realized that I have a clear understanding of the Qin State!

If the minister is like this, Wang Guanlan must be better than the minister! "

Cai Ze's dignified voice contained a trace of panic. He has gained a very thorough understanding of the state of Qin during this journey, and his help in governing the country in the future is immeasurable!

This is also where he is most vigilant. What he can understand, Wang Guanlan will definitely understand, and what he cannot understand, this person may not be unable to understand.

A person from another country knows Qin State better than Qin State Xiangbang, how can this not make people panic.

King Qin's expression didn't change when he heard the words, but asked instead:

"From Xiangbang's point of view, can my country, Qin, recruit this person?"

Cai Ze pondered for a moment, then shook his head:

"I can't figure out this person's mind, and dare not speculate privately, but this person has no malice towards us, Qin State. On the contrary, this person is full of praise for Shang Jun's reform. It is not impossible!"

Qin Wang slightly closed his eyes, opened them suddenly, and ordered decisively:

"Tomorrow, the widow will go to the hotel to pay a visit to this person in person, Mr. Cai, you go with the widow!"

Cai Ze was shocked when he heard this, and wanted to get up to dissuade him.

This is not a storybook novel. It's all nonsense about visiting the thatched cottage three times and being courteous to the corporal.

As the king of a country, being able to treat him with sincerity is the greatest courtesy!

Three visits to thatched cottage?

It's just the obscenity of some scholars who think they are underappreciated.

What is the Warring States about?

It is the king who treats me as a gentleman of the country, and I will repay it with the soldiers of the country!

What is a national scholar waiting for?

Even if you hand over the important power of the country to me, I will definitely make due contributions to you!

It is fair and equal!

The Warring States Period was an era of treachery, and there was no real action for any empty words.

This is also the reason for the collapse of rituals and music.

There is no trust between people, there is reality, it is black and white!

If you don't believe in any empty words, you naturally don't care about any empty etiquette.

In Cai Ze's view, King Qin's vain courtesy was meaningless. It would be better to give him a high position and a generous salary, which is much more effective than a corporal.

"Your Majesty, this matter is inappropriate. Tomorrow, let the minister go to meet this person. Your Majesty is honored, so it is not appropriate to move lightly."

King Qin naturally understood Xiangbang's concerns, shook his head, and said solemnly:

"This person has something that I want in my hand, and I will ask for it, and I will give it to the courteously first. Wang Guanlan is indeed a miraculous person. I greet him personally, and it is not a loss of face!"

Upon hearing this, Cai Ze became curious and asked directly:

"I don't know what the king wants?"

King Qin smiled slightly when he heard the words, looked at Cai Ze and asked:

"Ms. Cai knows, how many countries has this Wang Guanlan traveled?"

Cai Ze heard the words and said directly:

"This person should have set out from Qi State, all the way..."

As he said that, Cai Ze thought of something and exclaimed in surprise:

"Your Majesty has far-reaching thoughts, which are really beyond the reach of your ministers. With Your Majesty, domination of the world is just around the corner!"

Listening to Cai Ze's flattery, the King of Qin raised his head and said with a smile:

"Unify the world! Hahahaha..."

......

In the Qin State Hotel, the three gentlemen of Shan Rou sat aside and practiced meritorious deeds. Wang Xuebin was holding a Shang Jun's book and savoring it carefully.

Opposite him, Ji Yanran sat there in a daze, staring blankly at Wang Xuebin, not knowing what to think.

After a long time, Wang Xuebin finished reading a book, put it on the desk, and stretched.

Wang Xuebin did not move much, but it was enough to wake up Ji Yanran who was in a daze.

She recovered, looked at Wang Xuebin, got up and got a bowl of water, handed it over, and asked casually:

"Mr. read Shang Jun's book, can you gain something?"

Wang Xuebin took the pottery bowl casually, took a sip, nodded and said:

"As expected of Lord Shang's work, it is indeed profound and timeless, and it is a rare classic of governing the world!"

Shang Junshu is the work left by Shang Yang. There are 29 original books, but only 25 are left in later generations. All of the books expounded are the thoughts of legalist governance reform, which is very suitable for Wang Xuebin's appetite.

"Sir, how do you evaluate Shang Yang?"

Ji Yanran grew up in Wei State, where people didn't think highly of Shang Yang, and she was also very curious about Wang Xuebin's opinion.

Wang Xuebin stood up when he heard the words, cast a glance at the three women who pretended to be refined, but actually eavesdropped on them, shook his head and said:

"Mr. Shang is a great statesman and reformer. His actions will benefit the present and benefit the future!"

Ji Yanran became interested when she heard the words, and asked again:

"Where did you say that, sir? You know, Shang Yang died on the basis of his own law. Don't you think this law is too harsh?"

Wang Xuebin drank the water in his hand when he heard the words, put the bowl back on the table, and asked with a smile:

"Do you know what the law is?"

Ji Yanran shook her head with a puzzled look on her face.

Wang Xuebin walked to the window, looked at the Qin Palace in the night, and sighed:

"Fa! It's actually a sword!"

"sword?"

Wang Xuebin turned around and looked at the surprised Ji Yanran, nodded in affirmation:

"That's right, it's the sword!"

Chapter 176 Qin King Wins Ji!

"sword?"

"Yes, it's a sword!"

Wang Xuebin looked at Ji Yanran, and explained in detail:

"Swordsman, murder weapon, blood sees when you take out the sheath, kill yourself if you don't kill others!"

Wang Xuebin returned to the desk, sat down and said eloquently:

"The essence of the so-called schools of thought is that representatives of different class interests speak out!

Confucius represents the aristocratic class, Mencius represents the common class, Taoism represents the elite class, Mohism represents the disadvantaged groups, and Legalism represents the ruling class! "

Wang Xuebin looked at Ji Yanran's thoughtful expression, and continued:

"Legalism speaks out for the interests of the ruling class, and what it defends is also the interests of the ruling class. Therefore, he is harsh and cruel, suppressing the development of other classes, and centralizing power for the king!"

Ji Yanran was a little puzzled when she heard the words, and said hesitantly:

"Then... what about the Legalists themselves?"

Wang Xuebin shook his head, looked at her and explained:

"Including the Legalists themselves are also part of the ruled, the Legalists are offering their swords to the king, this is where their value lies.

After they cleared up the evils for the king, the sword returned to the king, and the person who offered the sword became superfluous, and it was not unusual for him to be beheaded by the sword!
