The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

After reading the secret report from the Qin State, Wei Hou said to the ministers: "Everyone, the Qin State uses Wei Ying as the prime minister, what should I do in the Wei State?"

A minister stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Wei Ying is just a small county order and does not have any great talents, the minister thinks that the Qin State uses Wei Ying as a phase, and it can be seen that the Qin State is no longer empty! Therefore, my Wei State does not have to worry about the Qin State anymore!"

As soon as the words fell, the doctor Duan Ganpeng got up and said, "Your Majesty, the Qin State is based on Wei Ying, and the Qin State will definitely be strong." In the past, the old prime minister's uncle acne once said that if the king does not reuse Wei Ying, he must be killed, because this person's theory of governing the country is very suitable for implementation in the Qin State, once this person arrives in the Qin State, the Qin State will definitely become strong, so the minister thinks that before the Qin State is not strong, immediately send a large army to destroy the Qin State!".

Pang Juan below also got up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to lead an army of 200,000 to destroy the Qin State!"

Seeing that Wei Hou did not speak, but looked at Hui Shi, Keiko got up and said: " Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is not possible to attack Qin now, the first is that although Qin uses Wei Martingale to change the law, the nobles of Qin will definitely interfere, and the second is that if I attack Qin now, all countries in the world will unite to deal with my Wei, so it is not yet the time to attack Qin, and the third is that most of Qin's war horses were purchased by my Wei State, if Qin wants to develop an army, then their war horses will have to be raised for at least five years, so now the biggest enemy of my Wei State is not Qin State for the time being, but we must be careful of Qi State in the east！"

Wei Hou looked at Wu Tong again and asked, "Sima, what do you think?" Wu Tong thought for a while and got up and replied: "Your Majesty, Chen also thinks that now is not the time to attack Qin, so we will temporarily target Qi State, but we will still return to Qin State in the direction of our march, and the minister thinks that we should deploy 150,000 troops in Hanoi County and Dong County, and as high as 250,000 troops in Guanzhong County, Xihe County and Hedong County! In this way, we don't have to worry about the problem of Qi State, and the direction of our Wei State is still Qin State!" After hearing this, Wei Hou ordered: "Okay, just follow Sima's words!" - Jun Shang Shengming!

In Yongcheng, Qin, Wei Ying was visiting the people on the street, and when he was walking on the road, he saw a grain store, and Wei Ying said to his entourage: "You go and ask about the price of the grain store!" - Yes!

When the

entourage entered the grain store, the boss on the side was helping a buyer weigh the grain, only to see the boss take out a bucket and pour the corn into it little by little, but the common man said with a dissatisfied face: "Boss, your bucket is too small, isn't it? Are you fake?" The boss said casually: "This bucket is an official bucket, but he is a bucket dedicated to the Wei State! Your bucket is fake, right? I'm an official bucket for the Wei State, how is it fake? Is your bucket approved by the government?" This Wei country's bucket is recognized by the whole world, how can I deceive you! And all the fights used in the market now are Wei country's!".

The common man felt very helpless, and wanted to defend but had no reason to defend himself, and what the boss said was true, because the fight of Wei was smaller than that of Qin. The attendant asked the boss: "This boss, how much is your corn for a bucket?" The boss said directly: "A bucket is 100 yuan, and a liter is 10 yuan!" The attendant was a little surprised after hearing this, the corn here is a little too expensive!

After the entourage went out, he said to Wei Ying: "The chestnut corn here is 100 yuan for a bucket, and ten yuan for a liter!" Wei Ying was also shocked when he heard it. The attendant said, "My lord, and according to what the boss said, all the buckets on the market are from the Wei Kingdom!"

After hearing this, Wei

Ying kept thinking in his heart: Now the entire Qin market is using Wei weights and measures, and in this case, the economy of the entire Qin State will be gradually eroded by the Wei State, and it must not be done like this again! It is necessary to use unified weights and measures, and also to suppress these merchants, so that the wealth of the Qin State will not flow to other countries!

Wei Ying and the others came to the countryside again, and saw that the people were still cultivating according to the well field system, and

Wei Ying saw that there were several people in the field who were farming, so he stepped forward and asked one of the people: "Why do you still practice the well field system here? Didn't private farming already be allowed during the period of public dedication?" I saw a common man say: "This lord, the land here belongs to the middle doctor, so we are cultivating according to the well field system here! The so-called private land is only limited to those nobles!"

Suddenly, a common man's hoe broke out of nowhere, and in an instant, the common man

was already frightened, Wei Ying felt very puzzled, so he asked: "A farm tool is broken, what does it matter?" A common man came over and answered: "My lord, you don't know, these farm tools are owned by the owner, if they are broken, they will be compensated at ten times the price!" When Wei Ying heard this, he felt that these nobles were too nonsense, after all, Wei Ying was very much in accordance with the Legalist theory, and the things damaged by the state in his thoughts could only be compensated according to the original price, how could he pay so much?

Back at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Wei Ying had been thinking about what he had encountered in the morning, and had been pacing back and forth in the house, when suddenly Wei Ying listened and said to his entourage: "Prepare the car, I want to meet the king!" - yes!

Palace of the State of Qin

In the study, Yingqu Liang was looking at the book written by Wei Ying with relish, and his face was full of admiration for Wei Ying's talent! A guard came in and said, "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister has come to ask to see you!" When Ying Quliang heard that Wei Ying was coming, he quickly got up and said, "Hurry up and invite Mr. Wei Ying in!"

After Wei Ying came in, he stepped forward and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, do you know what happened to me this morning?" Ying Quliang was puzzled and asked, "Prime Minister, what happened?" Wei Ying arched his hand and said: " Your Majesty, now my Qin State is really very dangerous, when the minister went to the market to investigate today, he found that all the weights and measures used in the entire market are Wei's, if this is the case, it will only make my Qin's financial resources continue to enter the pocket of Wei, and once the weights and measures are other countries, it is very easy to be suppressed by the other party, and most importantly, I also observed that the carriages used by merchants in Qin are made according to the width of Wei's carriages. If you think about it, if you think about it, the folk carriages in a country are all made according to the models of other countries, and then the country will not be a country! In addition, when I investigated in the countryside, I found that there are still a large number of well field systems, and in the Qin Xiangong period, private land and the common people were allowed to reclaim wasteland privately, but those policies were only known to the nobles and the common people were completely ignorant, and they still worked hard for the nobles in the well field system, so most of the taxes of my Qin State would only go into the pockets of the nobles, so the ministers thought that our Qin State would do two things before changing the law, the first was to unify the weights and measures and cars on the same track, and the other was to suppress the nobles and confiscate the land of the nobles, and once divided the land equally among the people, and allowed the land to be traded privately, and encouraged the people to reclaim wasteland！"

After hearing Wei Ying's words, Ying

Quliang also thought deeply, and after a few breaths, he looked up at Wei Ying: "Prime Minister, I also want to deal with these nobles, but the army in their hands is even more than Gu's army! Also, the people of Qin State don't trust my Qin State government very much now! Gu also knows that now the people of Qin State are eager to run to Wei State!" The most hated are those nobles, those nobles control all the grasslands of the Qin State, and the war horses of the Qin State are all bred by these nobles, and now if we want to develop the army, we have to look at the faces of these nobles!".

Wei Ying smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it's actually very easy to deal with those nobles. As soon as Ying Quliang heard that Wei Ying had a way to solve the nobles, he hurriedly came over and whispered: "Prime Minister, what can you do to solve those nobles?" Wei Ying Zhenzhen said: "Your Majesty, please plan to arrange a banquet for these nobles to invite them to come, and then take the opportunity to kill them all in the banquet! Then send the general to lead troops to break into their homes and punish their entire clan for the crime of rebellion!"

Ying Quliang was shocked after hearing Wei Ying's words, and hurriedly said: "What the prime minister has done is a bit desperate, after all, they have also made a little contribution to the country before, and it is impossible to kill them all like this! This is too cruel! The most important thing is that this plan of yours is a bit of a villain's heart!"

Wei Ying said indifferently: "Your Majesty, the stability of the country comes from three factors: one is the law, the second is credit, and the third is power. The law is jointly observed by the monarch and the ministers, the credit is established by the monarch and the ministers, and the power is controlled by the monarch alone. If the monarch loses control of power, the country will be in danger. Monarchs and ministers ignore the law and only care about their own interests, and the country is bound to be chaotic. Therefore, if the law is established to clearly distinguish between public and private, and the law will not be damaged because of private interests, the country will be stable. When the monarch holds power alone and controls the people, he establishes his prestige. The people believe in the reward of the monarch and will achieve their careers, and if they believe in the punishment of the law, they will stop the evil phenomenon. Only a virtuous monarch will cherish power, value credit, and not damage the law for personal gain. Therefore, if the monarch utters a lot of empty words of favor and fails to reward his courtiers, his courtiers will not be willing to serve, and if he repeatedly promulgates harsh decrees and does not carry them out, the people will despise the punishment. All rewards are civil rule, and all punishment is martial rule. The rule of culture and the rule of force are the means of legal restraint. Therefore, a wise monarch attaches importance to the rule of law. A wise monarch who is not deceived is called wise, and who is not deceived is called discerning. Therefore, heavy rewards build trust, and heavy punishments are inevitable to establish majesty. Heavy rewards do not omit those who are estranged from relationships, and heavy punishments do not avoid those who are close to them. So that the courtiers will not deceive the monarch, and the people will not deceive the monarch. Since those nobles do not obey the king's secrets, they should exterminate the whole clan and establish their prestige in the hearts of the people and ministers, so that the people and ministers will not oppose your decree! Since those nobles not only control the country's war horses privately, but also occupy a large amount of land, this is their capital crime not to kill, they are not enough to make the people angry, only by letting them die, will our Qin State become stronger and stronger! If you don't kill them, it will be difficult for the Qin State to be strong, although this plan seems to be like a villain's plan, but this is all for the country and the people!

After listening to Wei Ying's words, Ying Quliang thought for a while and then said firmly: "Prime Minister, Gu has decided to use your strategy, my Qin State must dominate the world, and we must attack all the countries in the world!

In Wei Ying's mansion, Wei Ying said to a person next to him: "General, are things ready?" I saw Ying Qian arch his hand and said: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, I have already sent someone to prepare, just wait for those moths to be trapped!".

After hearing this, Wei Ying got up and walked out of the house, looked at the bright moon in the night sky, and said in his heart: Since your Wei State does not recognize me, then I will help the Qin State to dominate the world, and when the time comes, I will let you Wei State know the price of not appointing my Wei Ying, and I Wei Ying,

I will break my career in this Qin State, and let the whole world know the reputation of my Wei Ying! Those so-called great sages are just empty talk and misleading the country, and only the Legalists are the real way to govern the country! Since Wei has occupied half of Qin's Guanzhong and Hexi, then I, Wei Ying, will lead the army of Great Qin to recapture the territory belonging to Qin!
