After discussing the strategy from the palace, Wang Jian went straight back home and said to Wang Li who was dancing with a gun and a stick at home, "The battle to destroy Zhao is not far away. Hurry up and pack your things and go to your father. Don't be like Pu this time."
Yang Zhanbao embarrassed me like that."
Wang Li was stunned at first, then became excited and raised his fist towards his grandfather, "Destroy Zhao?! Don't worry, grandfather, I will definitely perform well this time."
"Humph, I hope so. Meng Tian and Li Xin are only a few years older than you, and they are already generals. Meng Tian even personally led a group of golden fire cavalry. Why don't you seize the time to make contributions!"
"Grandpa, don't worry, I won't ruin the reputation of my royal family."
Seeing his grandson's high-spirited look, Wang Jian warned him carefully: "Also, you should keep the exam policy in your heart. No matter who tries to talk to you about it,
You have to shut up."
It seemed that Wang Jian had already taught him a lesson. Wang Li did not talk back this time and obeyed respectfully, "I understand, grandfather."
Wang Jian looked at the back of this boy as he left, his eyes were deep, and he murmured in a low voice: "If you are poor, you will change, if you change, you will be successful, and if you are popular, you will be long-lasting. How will the military merit and title system change after the world is unified..."
As a local aristocrat who emerged from the military title system, the Wang family was only slightly famous before. It was not until the emergence of the general Wang Jian, followed by his son Wang Bi who was also a famous general, that the Wang family completely stood out and became one of the best in the Qin Kingdom.
Everyone’s military exploits.
As the helm of the family, Wang Jian was also at the center of the Qin court. He had vaguely seen the possible drastic changes in Qin's future system.
Lu Yan's last question rang in his ears, "How should these five hundred thousand acres of land be distributed?"
He closed his eyes and shook his head, sighing: "I see, some things have finally been figured out now..."
The core of Legalism is not the centralized legal system that people often say, but the need to adapt to the circumstances. In other words, everything must be based on specific circumstances.
The national conditions of the Qin State during the period of Shang Yang's Reform were that the Qin State was in danger and might be conquered by the Wei State; the domestic aristocracy was hereditary, the privileges were strong, the land was being embezzled, the population was concealed, and the national food tax was insufficient; private fights among the people were common, and armed fights were endless.
; There is no truly unified governance, national politics are in chaos, etc.
In response to the various problems of the Qin State at that time and the various needs of the era of great strife, Shang Yang's reforms transformed the Qin State into a farming chariot.
But now it can be seen with the naked eye that Qin is about to take the step of unifying the world. How can the current Qin policy adapt to a brand new country?
As the helmsman of the family, Wang Jian must consider what changes or sacrifices the family will make in this possible system in exchange for a better future.
After all, the old aristocrats who stubbornly opposed Shang Yang's reforms were all dead, and they could live well if they transformed into military aristocrats.
Of course, not all military aristocrats have Wang Jian's vision and awareness, and there will always be those with vested interests who will block the path of revolutionaries.
Late that night, many prominent people gathered in an underground secret room.
One of the people who looked the most intense said to the empty and silent space: "Why are you not talking? The Wang family and the Meng family have already accepted Lu Yan's admission notice. That school is about to officially open. You guys
Are you all prepared to write in black and white before becoming an official?"
The eloquent people from other families present looked at each other for a while and said weakly, "Master Miao, you also know what it means that the Wang family and the Meng family have accepted this. This matter cannot be tolerated by us.
Objection."
"Yes, the king has such an attitude, what can we do?"
"Then Lu Yan came to the door in person, so I don't dare to disobey him."
"Yeah~"
The head of the Miao family was filled with anger as he looked at these useless accomplices. Not to mention that the number of people gathered here today was even less than usual, which made him even more furious.
"Hmph, can't you see Lu Yan's sinister intentions? Let me ask you, when the king ordered that the oral tax be exempted, were you overjoyed, thinking that you could support more servants and occupy more land? Now, who will tell
What do you think about me, the untouchables in your family? Can you still recruit people from Guizhou to work for you now?"
When he asked me such a harsh question, everyone covered their mouths, pinched their beards, and sighed. Anyway, no one spoke seriously.
"Guizhou can fill its stomach, study and become an official. The preferential policies are for good people's household registration, and do not protect the poor ones. If things go on like this, no one will be able to recruit anyone. If there is no one left, who will cultivate the land? The land is abandoned, and we
We can only slowly become like those common people. This is what Lu Yan is doing now, he is simply digging up our ancestral graves!"
The head of the Miao family was so hoarse at the end that he wanted to scream out his voice.
Yes, this is what Lu Yan is doing. The cornerstone of the country is the small farmers, not these aristocrats. Under Qin's system, sooner or later these so-called aristocrats will be melted into ordinary civilians
The people present thought about it for a moment and broke out in a cold sweat. Yes, it won't take many years if this continues, and they will be reduced to ordinary people.
Then, the closed secret room began to become restless.
"Then what do you think we can do? The king is standing behind him, and now he is at the height of his power, and the examination policy is surrounded by civilians in Guizhou. What can we do?!"
"Yeah yeah……"
"The entire Qin State, including the net and the secret guards, wants to oppose the policy supported by the king and Lu Yan. This is like sending death."
"Lu Yan, the national preceptor, is now appointed by the new king and supported by the head of Guizhou. We cannot resist the examination policy even if we want to."
Seeing that the crowd was finally getting excited, the head of the Miao family looked happy and shouted: "Okay! You all still want to resist, right? Those who did not come to the rally today, they will--"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Before he finished speaking, he heard the voice of a young man coming from the deep darkness.
"Those who did not come to the rally today will be able to live happily in the future and enjoy the benefits of the new policy. But that is not necessarily the case for you."
Everyone's eyes widened and they turned around in horror to look at the direction of the sound.
"Lu, Lu...Lu Yan!"
"How will you be here?!"
"Master National Preceptor, Master National Preceptor, I, we are waiting..."
Lu Yan walked out surrounded by a group of killers, looked around, and said with a smile: "This is not the first time that you have a meeting in this dark and ghostly place. If you are not afraid of ghosts, are you still afraid of people?"
The head of the Miao family rushed out, pointed at him and shouted: "Lu Yan, you, what on earth do you want to do?!"
Lu Yan's eyes swept over the group of people present one by one, and said calmly: "Miao, the origin of this word is not simple. It was passed down to the concubine of Duke Mu of Qin, and later he rose up due to his military exploits. The Miao family; and the Bai family.
The Liang family, the Yan family... you deserve to be the head of the family, what you said just now is very insightful, it turns out that you are all saying that about me behind my back."
The killers in the trap have surrounded everything, and none of these people can escape today.
The head of the Miao family simply cursed: "You are a treacherous minister who has brought harm to the country, cholera our Qin's legal system, and disrupted our Qin's military merit system. I just scold you in front of you, so what do you do?
Lord Shang burned Confucian poems and books more than a hundred years ago to legislate the Qin Dynasty to strengthen the army and enrich the country. Now you, a Confucian traitor, want to weaken the legal system and establish the ritual system. You have been deceived by me, my king!"
Lu Yan didn't bother to explain the difference between rule by virtue and Confucian etiquette to this kind of person. He just waved his hand and said, "Stop your mouth and take them all away."
"Lu Yan, why do you arrest people?!"
"I haven't broken any laws, so you can't arrest me!"
