Chapter two hundred and eighty-ninth Shangjun ordered me to leave

At first, the King of Wei sent Kong Bin to Zhao State with seventy miles of land.

This gave King Han a lot of inspiration. He was thinking, if even a Kong Bin is worth seventy miles of land, how much is a Xunzi worth? At least Zhao can be given a hundred miles of land in exchange?

Unfortunately, King Han's idea met with crazy opposition from the Prime Minister Zhang Ping. Zhang Ping pointed at King Han's nose and roared very rudely: "If you tie Xunzi today, Korea will be destroyed tomorrow!"

Xunzi didn't know that King Han had actually made up his mind. Of course, because of Zhang Ping's dissuasion, King Han didn't send anyone to arrest Xunzi when he left Xinzheng. This made King Han feel very regretful.

It's a pity that there is an opportunity to gain hundreds of miles of land. Fortunately, the King of Han still remembered Ma Fujun's previous teachings and should follow the advice of the Prime Minister. After Xunzi left Xinzheng, the King of Han had other ideas.

Zhang Ping sat weakly in the palace. In fact, Zhang Ping was not very old, but from his appearance, he looked much older than the King of Han. This was because he had to deal with a lot of government affairs and faced many challenges.

The difficulties are also great. South Korea is caught between various countries. Whether it is self-protection or seeking development, it is very difficult. After Zhang Ping became the Prime Minister, South Korea has improved through a series of agricultural reforms.

Unfortunately, this improvement was destroyed by South Korea's changeable diplomatic relations. South Korea always changed its position, sometimes helping Wei, sometimes seeking refuge with Chu, and sometimes obeying Qin. All countries did not like it, and the people suffered from wars.

, any efforts of Zhang Ping were easily destroyed by the war... Zhang Ping is a person who can enjoy hardships. He is not pessimistic. He may be disappointed with the king, but he has never despaired of South Korea.

Years of war, or rather years of defeat, have almost destroyed the aristocratic power in Korea. There is a serious shortage of officials in Korea as a whole, and administrative efficiency is extremely low. There is a lot of fertile farmland, but not enough labor, no outstanding generals, and no outstanding generals.

Soldiers who can fight... commerce has also suffered a serious blow. The caravans cannot be protected and are bullied abroad. Not to mention the handicraft industry... Several important raw material producing areas in South Korea have now been taken away.

South Korea has almost completely collapsed and is vulnerable.

But Zhang Ping did not give up.

He took advantage of the rare period of peace in South Korea to change the current situation. First of all, he lowered taxes and reduced the taxes of the entire South Korea to the lowest point, because South Korea does not need to fight or support officials.

You don’t even have to save food for construction... This behavior gave the Koreans a chance to breathe, and successfully attracted many people. Many Koreans who had fled also returned to their own country.

Zhang Ping read through the contents of "Ma Fu Shu" and began to allocate land according to the population in Korea. As long as he was an adult male, he could allocate land... He set up a school in Xinzheng and recruited young people unconditionally.

Entering school, of course... He was personally in charge of this school and taught it. Moreover, according to the law of Dong Chengzi of Zhao State, he copied a Korean code and asked officials everywhere to use the new law.

Act according to the law.

Thanks to Zhang Ping's efforts, South Korea is developing in a good direction. Zhang Ping focused his main energy on agriculture and commerce. He spent a lot of effort to encourage mulberry farming, promote advanced agricultural tools, and,

He established a detailed plan that lasted for twenty years, including officials, farming, commerce, handicrafts, and even the army. Many of the systems came from the "Ma Fu Shu".

The purpose of Zhang Ping's twenty-year long-term plan is only to give South Korea the ability to protect itself and to be able to cope with wars with its allies without causing domestic collapse.

King Han sat on the throne with a smile. Recently, a lot of people have poured into South Korea, and the number of merchants in Xinzheng has also increased significantly, showing a "prosperous" scene. King Han is very happy. He thinks that all this

It was all 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 have land while increasing their household registration.

question, but the King of Han had already begun to think about how to take revenge on Qin in the future.

"Zhang Xiang...Xunzi is right."

"In the past, I endured the humiliation and paid homage to the King of Qin with the etiquette of a minister visiting a king... Now many years have passed. During these days, I wanted to sleep on the wood, thinking about what I wanted all day long.

The humiliation I suffered, I never thought of giving up revenge on Qin... Now that Korea is gradually prospering, I want to imitate Gou Jian..."

"Your Majesty..." Zhang Ping shook his head and said a little tiredly: "You have also been to Qin and seen the capital of Qin... South Korea is not Qin's opponent. When you turned your back on Chu, Zhao and Wei

, obey the orders of King Qin, which makes all countries hate South Korea very much. Because of Qin’s protection, they dare not attack South Korea. If you want to break the agreement with Qin, these countries will pounce on you like jackals.

South Korea does not have the strength to stop them..."

King Han nodded and smiled.

"Well..."

"What you said makes sense."

At some point, Zhang Ping really wanted to dig up Shen Buhai's grave and whip his corpse, but Zhang Ping couldn't help it, not only because of Shen Buhai's contribution to South Korea, but also because of this

The behavior is immoral, and more importantly, there is nothing wrong with learning, but there are some problems with the people who learn this knowledge... Zhang Ping continued: "I heard that the young master Fei from South Korea served as a court captain in the Qin State. This is right.

Things that are good for South Korea.”

"Please reward his family... If possible, I hope you can write a letter asking him to come to South Korea. I heard: He is a very learned man. If he comes to South Korea, I can change the position of the Prime Minister

Let him..."

"Fei??" King Han was stunned. Suddenly, he laughed and shook his head and said: "Fei? Fei is still a half-grown child, and the Qin State actually uses him as a minister? Hahaha, look.

The Qin State will also fall after the death of King Zhaoxiang!"

"Your Majesty... I heard that King Zhaoxiang also values ​​Han Fei very much. Han Fei has the true biography of Ma Fu Jun. He has met the King of Qin many times, and all the officials of the Qin State are very fond of him..."

"Okay, you don't know... I have watched him grow up. Don't you still know what he is like? That child has stuttered since he was a child. He is timid and dare not talk to others...

However, he is indeed a good boy..." King Han smiled and seemed to be recalling the past. He said seriously: "When he was young, he was always ridiculed by other children. I had to learn from him... At that time, I

He is the eldest among the clan members, so he often helps him and beats the children who laugh at him!"

"However, when he grew up, he was no longer as close to others as he used to be... He always talked to himself..."

King Han suddenly became more serious. He looked at Zhang Ping and said, "Even if you want to take revenge on Qin, you can't use him! That child was raised by me. He is a son of me. If you

If you want to hold his family hostage to force him, I will not agree!"

Zhang Ping was stunned, "When did I say I wanted to hold his family hostage??"

"Sir, I just think that he should return to South Korea..."

"Well, there is no need to say more. He is just a half-grown child. What will happen if he returns to South 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~~" King Han laughed again. He looked at Zhang Ping and said with emotion: "I am really old. The one who was hiding behind me back then

My children are all holding important positions in Qin State now..."

"Let's do this...I will write a letter to the King of Qin and ask him to take care of Han Fei..."

"Your Majesty... If you really care about him and don't want him to return to Korea, then you'd better not write a letter. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will arouse King Qin's jealousy..."

"Oh... that's fine, then I won't write it."

"Xiang Zhang... when I complete my revenge, you will be my Fan Li, and I will definitely make you richer than Fan Li!"

"Alas...I never thought about seeking wealth for myself..." Zhang Ping said, and then said silently in his heart: As long as I can't see the day when Korea is destroyed, I will be satisfied.

...........

King Wei was sitting in the palace, frowning and looking a little annoyed.

He looked at Lord Long Yang on the side and said with some annoyance: "It took you five whole years to just...make this "Household Code"?" Lord Long Yang stood aside, and King Wei's

The rebuke made him a little at a loss. King Wei had never criticized him so severely. Long Yangjun continued: "Your Majesty... formulating laws is not an easy task. I recruited domestic scholars, and they spent a full five years.

For years, I didn’t dare to rest day or night, and I just completed this law.”

It turned out that at the beginning, when Dong Chengzi was revising the laws of 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. At first, he copied the laws of Qin State. However, Qin Dynasty

The laws were not very similar to the actual situation in Wei and needed to be changed. Therefore, the King of Wei asked Longyang Jun to take charge of this matter and established a complete set of Wei laws based on the Qin laws.

King Wei looked at the bamboo slips in his hand. These were the "Laws of Households" and "Laws of Benming" handed to him by Lord Longyang. The contents of them were the punishment provisions for "false family members and those who marry a son-in-law and a later husband." King Wei was a little irritable.

, looking at these bamboo slips, and placing them heavily on the slips, he asked angrily: "What's the use of punishing some merchants for having adopted sons-in-law? Over the years, scholars have been thinking about how to punish merchants.

And the son-in-law??"

And beside King Wei, there was not only Lord Long Yang. In front of King Wei, there was also a young scribe sitting. This scribe was tall and looked impressive and quite extraordinary. He saw King Wei

After arguing with Lord Long Yang, he raised his head and said, "What you said, Lord, is wrong. In my opinion..."

"I am talking to Lord Long Yang!" King Wei interrupted him very rudely. A trace of sullenness flashed across the young man's face. He did not speak anymore and looked straight ahead. Lord Long Yang could only say:

"Your Majesty, the territory of the Wei State is vast and there are many people. However, some people have abandoned the city and fled to the wilds to cultivate the land themselves. Some have become other people's sons-in-law and step-fathers for the sake of happiness. Many people are afraid of farmers.

I paid taxes and became a merchant and shopkeeper..."

"The law we have enacted is to punish these people. They are not allowed to have independent households, and they are not granted land and houses. Instead, they are compiled into household registration. This is the most important task that Wei State should implement at present. After the household registration is compiled, the households in the household registration will be

, granting fields and homesteads according to the number of people, and distributing a large amount of land in the Wei State to these people, increasing the strength of the Wei State, and at the same time, revising the household registration can also play a more important role..."

King Wei shook his head and said with some disdain: "Isn't this Qin's method?"

"No, this is different from Qin's household registration. It is impossible for Qin to realize. We do not set up farmers or craftsmen's households. We will distribute land to all people who have registered their household registration. Qin's is based on

To distribute the land...", Lord Longyang talked about the differences again... King Wei became more and more bored the more he listened.

"According to the law, these low-status people can only change their status after three generations. Moreover, after three generations, those who want to be officials must still indicate on their official registration that they are the son-in-law." Long Yangjun said seriously: "

Use these methods to increase the number of people engaged in farming, stabilize the domestic situation, and increase the strength of Wei..."

"Okay! I know it!" King Wei shouted.

Long Yangjun lowered his head in grievance, his eyes red.

When King Wei saw Long Yangjun like this, his anger disappeared. He cleared his throat and said helplessly: "I am not angry with you, I am just a group of officials in the country. The revised law cannot achieve my goals."

I look forward to...please don't take it seriously." 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's leave it like this, let the new laws be implemented everywhere."

King Wei waved his hand helplessly, and then said to Lord Long Yang with a smile: "Please sit closer..." Lord Long Yang raised his head and looked at the young man sitting in front of King Wei. King Wei

Only then did he remember that the person in front of him was recommended to him by Duan Qianzi. He said he was a descendant of a great sage and a member of the royal family, but the King of Wei did not recognize him. After the King of Wei taught him, he had no time to follow him.

No matter what he said, Lord Long Yang came to him and used the law that took many years to compile to make him angry.

King Wei looked at the young man in front of him and said casually: "I still have important matters to discuss with Lord Long Yang. Please come and visit me another day."

The young man stood up with a smile, bowed gently to the two of them, and left the palace.

As soon as he left the palace, he saw Duan Qianzi driving in the distance. Duan Qianzi obviously saw him too, and he jumped out of the car with a smile.

"Wei Liao...how are you doing? What official position did your Majesty grant you?"

"I was not granted an official position, and your Majesty ordered me to leave Wei."

"Um???"
