The administrative efficiency of the Qin State is still very high. As long as the king agrees and the decision can be implemented, there will be no officials to oppose it. The whole Qin State will make every effort to complete this latest policy, and today's policy was proposed by Lu Buwei
New Deal. After officials from various places learned about the new policy, they did not find it strange. This is because they have all read the "Ma Fu Shu" and the content of the new policy is highly similar to the content of the Ma Fu Shu.
Many people even think that this policy was proposed by Wu Chengjun, and Lu Buwei is just an executor. For these people, Lu Buwei has no intention of arguing. In his opinion, it is best for everyone to think this way. He wears Wu Chengjun's name
Tiger skin can still scare many people, which makes some people who hate the new policy dare not say anything. After all, this was proposed by Wu Chengjun.
As for Zhao Kuo, many ministers did come to visit him and ask about the new policy. They also asked Zhao Kuo for his views on the new policy. Of course, Zhao Kuo agreed with the new policy. He also
He was willing to be Lu Buwei's tiger skin and was willing to be used by him. Under such a situation, the new policy began to be implemented concretely in the Qin Dynasty. The first was the teacher of benevolence and righteousness.
Officials from various places began to preach about benevolence and righteousness. They took the content of Ma Fujun and used the pavilion chief as the specific executor to preach the policy to the people everywhere. The officials of Qin State were very familiar with this. When Lord Wu An attacked Chu State,
At that time, they were asked to preach to the soldiers of Chu and Wei, but now, they just added some content and can preach to the people of Qin.
From the people of the seven kingdoms who were as close as brothers to Lord Ma Fu, to the conquest of Qin State to defeat the tyrant and save the people of the world, to the beautiful future described in Ma Fu's book, the people of Qin State listened carefully to the official readings, and the officials of Qin State
The task given is to convince the people that the Qin State is benevolent and righteous, and that the wars they wage are benevolent and righteous. They are to save people, not to kill people. Therefore, the Qin State is different from all other countries.
They even compared the taxes of the people in various countries to describe the suffering suffered by the people of the seven countries. For example, King Zhao wanted to kill Ma Fujun, King Yan beat his veteran general Qi, King Wei was obsessed with men and murdered his own brother, Qi Wang
The king ignored the government and killed his mother repeatedly. The King of Chu...The King of Chu valued villains and allowed the nobles to kill the people at will. In short, according to the officials of the Qin State, the people of the other six countries were living in dire straits, and
The people of Qin are the happiest, so the people of Qin need to save them.
The Qin State wanted to end this war and establish a peaceful and prosperous age where everyone had farmland, could afford clothes, and lived a prosperous life.
Zhao Kuo felt that Qin's pavilion chiefs really had the talent to be political commissars... According to Qin's requirements, Qin's pavilion chiefs were not only responsible for catching thieves and putting out fires, but their more important duty was
To preach the law, the people of the Qin State are illiterate. The Qin State needs to make them obey the new laws. At this time, the chief of the pavilion needs to take action and preach the new laws of the country or the repealed laws to the people.
Listen and let them know what they can and cannot do.
Therefore, the chief of the pavilion in the Qin State was equivalent to the later police station, fire brigade, and law firm... They must provide legal advice to the people. If the people do not know the law, then the chief of the pavilion here will be ruined, and those written
In order for the common people to understand the content, the pavilion chiefs need to have extraordinary understanding and outstanding eloquence. At this moment, these eloquent pavilion chiefs played a huge role.
They made the people of Qin believe that the people of Qin were the happiest. Of course, in terms of survival guarantee, this is indeed true. Although Qin is harsh, the people living here may not be happy, but they can survive.
They will not freeze to death or be killed randomly, just like Fan Ju did. He killed one of his retainers and a domestic censor. When the officials finally impeached him, these two crimes were
Among them, the King of Qin could not ignore these crimes.
As the prime minister of a country, there is no way to escape such sanctions, and it is simply impossible for officials at the bottom to do so.
Of course, the Qin State still implements Lu Buwei's benevolent policy, which is a policy of light corvee and low taxes, which puts the people of Qin under less pressure than other people. I don't know what the officials think, but the people of Qin believe it anyway
Despite these words, they are fighting for a great goal, they are fighting to save everyone in the world, and they are fighting for a better life in the future.
After having this idea, the orders of not killing innocent people indiscriminately and not destroying civilian residences can be better understood by these people and these soldiers.
At the same time, Lu Buwei also expanded schools across the country, and required that starting from the county level, assessments should be conducted based on the vacant official positions in different positions. Those who pass the assessment can get this position. These are secondary, the most important thing is
The transformation of the military merit system.
Lu Buwei decided to change the military merit system. The first thing was rewards. The rewards gradually favored privileges rather than cultivated land. This was on the one hand. On the other hand, it was the key to promotion of titles. From beheadings, it gradually became achievements in other aspects. Although the Qin State in the past also emphasized
People who farm and produce more food can get titles, but this is still very rare. You can get titles faster on the battlefield and have more military merits.
But now, Lu Buwei pays special attention to farming and water conservancy. Officials can quickly improve their titles through their political achievements, not necessarily by working hard on the battlefield. Common people can also quickly improve their titles through farming and textiles.
...Of course, in order to prevent the decline of the army's combat effectiveness, Lu Buwei decided to provide subsidies to the soldiers in other aspects.
Zhao Kuo recognized this new policy very much, and he even encouraged his disciples to participate in those assessments. And sometimes he himself would go to various cities in Qin to visit the achievements here, to ask the people, and to listen.
Their thoughts are that the Qin people respect Zhao Kuo very much. Ma Fushu's influence in the Qin State is very huge, and Zhao Kuo himself is also an approachable person, which makes the Qin people very close to him.
Some people even invited him to participate in local football matches.
The people of Qin were a little pitiful. They had just been allowed to have entertainment, but two monarchs died one after another, making them unable to engage in entertainment activities for two years. They also had to observe filial piety. But now that the period of observing filial piety has passed, they can again
Come and play. The people of the Qin State soon fell in love with the sport of Taju. Teams were even set up in various places. This made Zhao Kuo very happy. Zhao Kuo felt that a league could be formed within the Qin State in the future.
cup.
Zhao Kuo was not the only one who thought so. A nobleman in the Qin Dynasty, Yangquan Jun, was very obsessed with this sport. He proposed to the King of Qin many times to let various places form football teams to compete. Yangquan Jun wanted to
The idea of setting up a county-level league was rejected by King Qin, who also severely reprimanded him. Although Lord Yangquan was the elder of King Qin, King Qin didn't like him very much.
Speaking of which, since the death of King Xiaowen, King Qin has never seen Mrs. Huayang.
Lu Buwei stayed with his biological mother Xia Ji all day long, but it was Lu Buwei who persuaded him, saying: Your Majesty once accepted Mrs. Huayang's kindness, but if you don't repay her now, who will dare to love like Mrs. Huayang again in the future?
What about you? King Qin immediately went to Mrs. Huayang and apologized to her. From then on, he never forgot to visit Mrs. Huayang regularly. Mrs. Huayang was also very happy.
No one expected that Lu Buwei's new policy would achieve surprising results in a short period of time. After the proportion of agricultural and mulberry output in the way of title promotion increased, the enthusiasm of people everywhere for farming also increased.
It was even bigger, and officials were no longer needed to supervise, and the enthusiasm of officials was also mobilized, and the output of various places continued to increase. At this time.
Zhao Kuo got his own harvest.
After three years of cultivation in the cultivated land, he finally got a wheat field. The wheat here was not loose, but had a shell to protect it. The people could cut the wheat directly without picking it up. Zhao Kuo immediately took the wheat
The seeds were given to King Qin, who was very happy. He took these precious seeds and quickly expanded the planting area. At the same time, Zhan also proved Ma Fujun's theory through breeding.
The grain grown after seed selection is indeed different from other grains. Food can be domesticated through seed selection and artificial pollination.
This discovery shocked everyone in the temple. At first, when Zhao Kuo proposed to breed grain to make the crops more abundant and even able to withstand cold and drought, everyone laughed at him and thought it was impossible.
Not many people believed in him, but when his point of view was confirmed, the officials were shocked when they looked at the half-human-high millet cultivated by Zhan in the farmland.
As a result, a new agricultural innovation began in the Qin State, and various places began to promote the latest agricultural technology.
Zhao Kuo could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Humans finally began to consciously domesticate wild plants. Of course, if we trace it back to the roots, this can be traced back to many years ago. However, as we understand the principles now and do it with purpose,
This is the first time for cultivation. Even if it only increases the yield of a plant a little, this is a very big contribution, because when this crop is popularized, the increase in food will be huge.
In the first year after King Qin ascended the throne, there was no war in the world.
But Qin's chariot once again left other countries behind and walked at the forefront.
When the second year came, King Qin couldn't wait to call Lu Buwei.
Sitting in the palace, Lu Buwei looked at the King of Qin in front of him. He had been busy in Beidi County and received an order from the King of Qin, asking him to return to Xianyang quickly. Lu Buwei thought that someone else could not survive this cold winter, but he did not expect that...
Everything was fine in Xianyang, but he didn't understand why King Qin was so eager to find him. King Qin looked at him, cleared his throat, and then said: "I haven't seen you for a long time, so I am a little worried."
Lu Buwei smiled and then asked: "Thank you for your concern. Is there any other reason why you called me here in such a hurry?"
The King of Qin then said with a smile: "Mr., you know me best... When my father passed away, I promised him that I would realize one king in the world. Now that I have been on the throne for a year, I have not opened up a piece of territory for the Qin State.
I want to ask you, who among the princes can be conquered?"
Lu Buwei immediately understood that King Qin was eager to dominate the world, so he couldn't sit still. Lu Buwei lowered his head and thought seriously. He said: "Since King Xiaowen, Qin has not used troops externally. The princes probably
I thought you were weak...so I relaxed my vigilance. This is a good opportunity to go to war." After hearing Lu Buwei's words, King Qin asked solemnly: "Then which unscrupulous king do you think I can attack?
?”
"You can attack this villain Zhao Dan."
"It is a huge crime for a villain like Zhao Dan to murder Wu Chengjun. Not to mention that he alienated a wise man like Lian Po and got close to a villain like Zheng Anguo. I heard that Zhao State suffered a snowstorm last year because of his unscrupulousness.
Because of his concern, many people were killed by the freeze, food production was severely reduced, and many people starved to death. However, he did not want to help the people, but he also recruited corvees, built canals, and wasted national power. Such actions
, which the Qin State cannot tolerate, please attack this villain Zhao Dan!"
The King of Qin nodded, and he understood what Lu Buwei meant. Alienating Lian Po made Qin lose a powerful opponent, while the snowstorm and corvee made the Zhao people exhausted and had no food reserves...
"Then how to do it specifically?"
"I don't know much about military affairs. You can ask General Meng Ao."
.....
"Taiyuan! Attack Taiyuan!!" General Meng Ao rushed to the palace and immediately announced the target to attack. Meng Ao said seriously: "If Qin can capture Taiyuan, it will prevent Zhao from attacking the party.
If you continue to harass, you can even directly threaten Handan through Taiyuan. In this way, when you destroy Zhao in the future, you can choose to send troops from three places, and the Zhao people will never be able to stop it!"
"Then you are sure, who can serve as a general to attack Taiyuan County?"
"I."
General Meng Ao said confidently.
King Qin looked at him, then at Lu Buwei beside him, and then said: "Then I invite you to be the general and lead the army to attack Taiyuan County... This is the first time that I have used troops abroad after ascending the throne...
General Meng Ao stood up, bowed to the King of Qin, and then said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely capture Taiyuan for you! If you cannot win, I will not return to Xianyang alive!"
In the second year of King Qin, the first month
Qin State, with Meng Ao as its general, deployed 70,000 troops on the border of Zhao State in advance. After the deployment was completed, it suddenly attacked Taiyuan.
By the time the news reached Handan and King Zhao ordered Lian Po to recruit troops, most of Taiyuan had already fallen.
