894. The thoughts of King Wei Hui
Shang Jun originally designated this military merit system, but he also grasped it, and people must have goals to have fighting spirit.
Therefore, he set a very great goal for the people of Qin, so that the people of the entire Qin land could move towards that goal.
Although the princes were all learning the military merit system of the Qin State, only Hui Shi wanted to learn the military merit system of the Qi State.
The military merit system of the Qi State could only be implemented by a wealthy country like the Qi State, while the Wei State lacked money.
Although he wanted to implement it, he lacked a certain economic foundation, and King Wei Hui preferred the military merit system of the Qin State.
So Hui Shi only had this idea in his head, but he never came up with it.
King Wei Hui looked at Hui Shi and said, "I'm going to exempt all Wei people from taxes this quarter!" ”
King Wei Hui's words made Hui Shi stunned, he looked at King Wei Hui and said: "Your Majesty, my Wei State has been fighting for many years and obtained Pingyang, this maintenance, what consumes huge funds, and it also needs to rebuild the northern standing army, which also requires huge funds." ”
"If you waive this year's taxes, I'm afraid we won't be able to enforce these things!" Hui Shi looked at King Wei Hui and said.
Hui Shi didn't expect that King Wei Hui would implement benevolent government, and he would immediately exempt everyone from taxes, which means that in this quarter, Wei did not have the slightest tax, and the funds were enhanced, but a lot of money had to be pasted in.
"Those big nobles of Wei have received a lot of benefits from Wei State, and they should give Wei State subsidies and subsidies!" King Wei Hui's next words let Hui Shi know what King Wei Hui was going to do.
In the past, the money was obtained from the Wei people, but this quarter, King Wei Hui wanted to obtain some funds from the hands of those big nobles, and let those big nobles spend their money.
"It's just that the king, if you do this, it will inevitably arouse the disgust of those big nobles, after all, you want to save the prince, and it has already disgusted them!" Hui Shi persuaded on the side.
But Wei Huiwang smiled: "Whether I do it or not, they will dislike me, so I decided to do it!" ”
King Wei Hui did this, in fact, he also planned to take revenge on some of these nobles, these big nobles, in the court of Wei, but they all refuted the meaning of King Wei Hui, and now King Wei Hui decided to give them some color.
This time, King Wei Hui implemented a benevolent government, and it was most of the Wei commoners who benefited, and these nobles, as long as they dared to oppose it, would inevitably encounter the retaliation of those ordinary people of Wei.
So no matter how unhappy they are in their hearts, in the face of this matter, those big nobles can only accept it silently from their hearts.
If you dare to take the lead in refutation, King Wei Hui immediately told these Wei civilians who had benefited from it, I am afraid that the next day at your doorstep, there will be many Wei people standing looking for you to settle accounts.
This can be said to be a conspiracy, a conspiracy to suppress the aristocracy.
Although the Wei family is jointly governing the country, it is still necessary to suppress those side branches of the Wei family occasionally, after all, the greater their power, it is a threat to the authority of the Wei royal family.
Although the Wei clan jointly ruled the country, the power of the Wei state was still dominated by the king of Wei.
"Do you think my trick can make up for the Wei people?" King Wei Hui looked at Hui Shi and asked.
Hui Shi smiled: "Ordinary Wei people only care about their own vital interests, the king gave them actual benefits, who of them cares, the king loses the face of Wei in Qi State?" ”
"I'm afraid they will keep their mouths shut and praise the king for his benevolence and righteousness!" Hui Shi looked at King Wei Hui and said.
"Actually, I did this because I also wanted to try Meng Ke's method, whether it works or not, can I make the Wei Kingdom strong!" King Wei Hui spoke his heart.
"Your Majesty, you don't like the land that Meng Ke experimented on, but why do you want to implement Meng Ke's idea in the entire Wei Kingdom?" Hui Shi asked incomprehensibly.
"My Wei State wants to strengthen the army, but who in my Wei State can advocate this matter?"
"I'm afraid there is no one, Hui Shi told me that his method can make my Wei Kingdom strong, why don't I give it a try?" King Wei Hui looked at Hui Shi and said.
"Meng Ke's concept has been embodied in his fiefdom, although it has not made my Wei country have a strong army, but at least let the people there become rich and that place prosperous!"
"I have Wei Wuji in the Wei State, but I can ensure that the border of the Wei State is worry-free, I, ah, am ready to implement Meng Ke's concept during my reign!" King Wei Hui looked at Hui Shi and said.
Hui Shi was silent, he knew what King Wei Hui was going to do, to implement Meng Ke's meaning, to put it nicely, it was to make Wei prosperous, but in fact, it was to close the country.
In this world of great contention, Meng Ke is at war, and Meng Ke does not propose to start a war, but in this world of great contention, if the country wants to be strong, then it must start a war.
And if King Wei Hui did this, it meant that he wanted to close the country and recuperate.
Hui Shi thought about it for a while, with the current Wei State, I am afraid that it will not be able to eat anything cheap to the outside world, and it is not a good thing to close the country.
As King Wei Hui said, Wei has Wei Wuji, the border can be guaranteed, Wei Wuji alone can be against thousands of troops, if there is an enemy to attack, Wei Wuji will definitely be able to resist.
This is a kind of trust that King Wei Hui has in Wei Wuji, and it is also a recognition of Wei Wuji's talent.
Meng Ke's experimental results are there, although it is not said that he can strengthen the army, but at least he can become rich, which can increase the population of Wei.
In this way, in the days of the closed country, the population and wealth of Wei will inevitably increase to a certain extent.
After he left, the new King of Wei succeeded to the throne, and at that time, Wei had a huge population, a certain amount of economy, and plenty of grain and grass.
King Wei Hui knew that the revival and rise of Wei could not be accomplished by his generation alone, and Wei Wuji was a very good strategist.
But what Wei Wuji lacked was a very large and stable Wei state to carry out his strategy.
If Wei Wuji had gone out to help King Wei Hui when King Wei Hui succeeded to the throne, perhaps Wei would not be the current Wei State, but would still be the overlord of the empire.
But Wei Wuji didn't, because he was worried that his departure from the mountain would cause contradictions within the Wei State, after all, he was the prince of Wei who was full of guests, and the most powerful person in the Wei State could be on a par with the King of Wei.
If he went out of the mountain at that time, it would inevitably arouse the disgust of King Wei Hui, who was in power at that time, and cause unnecessary contradictions.
King Wei Hui believed that as long as he could leave a good foundation for Wei, Wei was using Wei Wuji's strategy, and Wei would not say that it would dominate Kyushu, but it was not impossible for Xiaoba to dominate the side.
King Wei Hui has seen it at this time, he no longer has the idea of letting Wei dominate Kyushu back then, and now he is much more stable and mature than before, of course, this is what he has gained from experiencing the price of blood.
