In September of the tenth year of Qin Wangzheng's reign, approaching the New Year's Day of the Qin State, Lu Yan, the national counselor, got married, and Qin Wangzheng personally congratulated her.
After the wedding, Lu Yan's life was extremely peaceful. He was responsible for educating the two children in the Imperial Preceptor's residence, Ji Yan, who was six years old, and Jie, who was eight years old.
As Nong Yu's master, Kuang Xiu personally visited Nong Yu's house every day to guide him in piano practice. Over time, his relationship with the Imperial Master's Office gradually became closer.
All countries in the world are recuperating, and the pace of time will not stop. The people of all countries feel the tranquility of peace, and five years have passed in a flash.
In the past five years, Zhao Wangyan has mastered and digested the occupied Yan land. Thanks to the various new agricultural tools spread to the world by Qin's public losers, Zhao's grain production level has been improved to a certain extent. This is a sign that the army's combat effectiveness is strong, but the national strength is not.
The weak Zhao State is simply a shot in the arm.
Zhao Yan had already sharpened his sword and turned his eyes to the east of the Yan State, which had been bullied.
As for Yan State, a country that inherited the orthodox Zhou Dynasty, there has been almost no change in hundreds of years. Even after being beaten by Zhao State and fleeing to a corner, King Yan and the major nobles in the country were still intoxicated, unaware of the crisis of national subjugation.
approach.
Prince Dan of Yan was not loved by the clan and nobles because of his childhood style. Seeing that there was no hope for him to join the court, he could only develop in the Mohist family wholeheartedly. At least, if the Zhao Kingdom came over, the Mohist family would definitely help defend the city. He was in Yanmo
His prestige has grown to be second only to the Six Fingered Black Man.
Wei Guo, there is nothing to say, just continue to mess around. If I have to say something, I would probably give a princess to Zhao, Qin, Qi, Ying Zheng's harem 1.
The Qi State, supporters of the Qin State, still remember the unjust case of the Mengwu massacre caused by Bai Yifei's massacre of the city. There are many scholars in the Qi State who are anti-Qin, and they have formed their own anti-Qin force. However, with the Qin State, they have opened the door to business with the Qi State.
Compared with the benefits that came from it, these people were simply not worthy of it. Not to mention that the Qin State later sent new agricultural tools to the people of the world. In the hearts of the Qi State and Guizhou leaders, the Qin State was still very good.
As for King Jian of Qi himself, he and his uncle Hou Sheng were both pro-Qin in their money bags.
In the Kingdom of Chu, Xiong Han, King of Chu, continued to develop in a wretched way after wooing the Ji family and the Ying family. Just two years later, he suddenly discovered that the farmer was a real cowboy. The area under the direct control of the King of Chu, because of the help of the farmer's disciples,
Compared with other clan territories, the grain output is more than 30% higher, which directly expands his strength.
In this era, having land, people and food is absolute confidence. Xiong Han followed Concubine Yan's advice and used Li Yuan as the commander-in-chief on the stage to do various actions against the clan, attracting the hatred of each clan, and his own territory grew rapidly.
Development and prosperity. He believed in the oracle that "the great Chu will rise and the overlord will emerge".
It is precisely because of this that when he felt that he was already full of power, he started weak reforms in Chu State, bit by bit eroding the power of the clan and expanding the royal power. Xiong Han referred to Wu Qi's reform in that year.
It is pitiful to say that Wu Qi's reform about 150 years ago was actually a great progress for the current state of Chu. Even he, the king of Chu, did not dare to take big steps and could only do it bit by bit.
Finally, talking about the Qin State, the large canal project that has been devoted to the whole country has finally been completed. The hydraulic engineering Zheng Guo and the Gongshu family have made great contributions. The Qin King decided to name the canal Zheng Guo Canal to show the great achievements of the Zheng State, and the public transport agency was granted the title
"The most important weapon of the country". This large canal irrigated more than 40,000 hectares of land in Guanzhong, making the Guanzhong Plain fertile soil and greatly increasing the national power of the Qin State.
Since the Zhu family joined the experimental field project, they have stayed away from the disputes in the world. They study farming every day with the old farmers who face the loess and their backs to the sky. After a long period of field work, they watched the Qin farm officials accompany the farmers to eat and drink in the open air.
Finally, I truly identified with the country Qin.
In the past three years, the harvest of each season in the experimental field has increased steadily, and the experiment of cultivating improved seeds has made breakthrough progress. After careful tentative promotion, it was finally confirmed that the experimental field project was successful. Qin's grain production level increased to
A new level.
Qin Wangzheng officially established an independent institution-the Agricultural Research Institute-for the field officials and experienced farmers who participated in the experimental field project. Like the previous institutions specializing in papermaking, they were both emerging institutions. The Zhu family was named here, and their positions were not low.
, receiving wages from the State of Qin.
The success of the large canal and the experimental field opened a huge gap between Qin's national foundation and other countries, and Lu Yan's plan could finally be launched.
In the past five years, a group of officials who received the Qin official training course compiled by Lu Yan gradually matured and were able to stand alone; but Lu Yan did not let them continue to train and grow in various counties, but prepared to use them as teachers.
Create a school for training national officials and officially start the transformation of education in this era.
In today's world, paper is already a very cheap thing. Of course, the high-quality ones used by nobles are still expensive, while the poor-quality ones used by common people are naturally cheaper. The cost for people to learn knowledge is reduced;
With the improvement of agricultural production technology, water conservancy projects, new agricultural tools, and excellent crop seeds, the production burden of civilians in Guizhou has been greatly reduced, and the material basis for learning knowledge has been formed;
The group of officials who graduated from the Qin official training course have been working hard in various counties and counties for another year and a half. They are still qualified to be teachers, and the objective conditions for the people to learn knowledge have basically been gathered;
As for subjective conditions? In this era, if you dare to release knowledge, people will rush to learn from it.
Lu Yan has been waiting for so long since he confirmed his ambition, and finally everything is ready and all he needs is the east wind.
Since Shang Yang's reform transformed Qin into a farming and war country, there are only two things this country can do: farming and war.
It was a terrifying chariot. After crushing all the enemies, it discovered that it had not installed brakes, and it eventually crushed itself to pieces.
In order to prevent Qin in this world from repeating the mistakes of its original history, Lu Yan must put the brakes on. In other words, he must act on Qin's current system.
The first to bear the brunt is the farming war system. Of course, the farming war system was the key to the strength of Qin for a certain period of time, but once the world was unified, this system was a huge bomb.
Secondly, there is the talent selection system related to the farming system, or in other words, there is no talent selection system at this time. The way for people to rise is military merit, and those scholars need to invest in a certain executive as a retainer. One day, the reputation will be established.
You are selected as a talent. There are too many reasons for this and it is difficult to explain clearly, but a talent selection system must be established.
With the talent selection system, the education system has its meaning. Otherwise, what is the purpose of people learning knowledge? With a large number of talents in this way, the Qin State can have officials to rule the original land of the six kingdoms, instead of relying only on the nobles of the six kingdoms.
Then there are the laws of Qin. Qin's laws are not so harsh that they are outrageous, but according to such laws, it is unimaginable to rule the people of the destroyed country.
In the sixteenth year of the Qin Dynasty, on October 1st, the Qin New Year, Lu Yan began to transform the world.
