Chapter 25 Purpose

Although the laughter is bright, there is a hint of unwillingness to be lost after all.

Exploring the principles of heaven and earth is not what everyone is pursuing. Besides, even if they knew that some things were right, such as those princes and princes, when Zhong Ni Mozi lobbied the countries and the monarch praised the good, how many people really did it?

After laughing, the two got up to settle the bill, and walked around the already prosperous city of Handan, which was growing by taking advantage of the communication between Niushou Water and the Yellow River, and the trade of iron smelting and woolen animal husbandry.

As I said in the wine shop before, Handan City is now really with a "Gongwen embroidery is not as good as leaning on the door to laugh", Zhao Di is close to Hu, close to Yidi Zhongshan, and the women are also heroic, wearing long sleeves and dancing.

There are many beauties in Zhao Di, during the Warring States Period, there are often Zhao women Zheng Ji, set descriptions, singing the qin, teasing the long coat, tipping on the profits, provoking the heart, not far away thousands of miles, regardless of the old and young. It is also said that Zhao Nu is drumming and tiptoeing, and she is charming and rich.

In particular, the dance steps in Handan and other places are beautiful, and they often attract people from other places to learn, regardless of gender. Nowadays, there are a lot of people who rely on the door to sell laughter, and some song and dance venues have appeared, and there are many beautiful girls doing "tiptoe" dances.

幣, it is said that there is no heel of the small shoes; tiptoe, it is also a light tiptoe.

The so-called tiptoeing is wearing heelless dancing shoes, tiptoeing and spinning and stretching in a ballet-like movement, because there are many teenagers who come to Handan to learn dance steps so that they can't walk normally.

Women are flattering, men are profit-seeking, and between the markets, there is a lot of talk, and the sounds of gold, silver and bronze are endless.

The two of them turned around in a big circle, shook their heads secretly, and the short man said: "With such an atmosphere, isn't Zhao Guo going to end?" Such an atmosphere is not able to fight, but I am afraid that in the troubled times, the Zhao family will not survive. ”

"If the people are rich, they will be wise. If you talk about it, you will be confused. If you seek wealth, you will have no desire to fight. In the future, how can the people of the Zhao clan say that they will move the Zhao people to fight to the death for the prince and the prince? ”

The tall man said: "It is this kind of truth, so we can't promote such an atmosphere in Qindi. The practice of studying and lecturing must be banned, and township schools should not be opened to disturb the people's minds. so that the people shall not change their karma, and plough and war shall be their profession. Otherwise, like Handan's scenery, Qin Di is afraid that it will be difficult to achieve great things. ”

"In the land of Sishang, I'm afraid that it is no less prosperous than Handan. It's just that there is a Xuanyi Department, there is a collection of righteousness, there is the idea of the people of the world, and they know why they can fight. After all, Handan has a prince, and Zhao is also a prince after all, as soon as the people's wisdom is opened, who is willing to fight to the death for the prince? ”

The two sighed with emotion at the prosperity they saw in their eyes, but they were thinking about the war that would be chaotic in the world, and a kind of sigh for the end of the monarch and the prince.

After a short time, he turned to a courtyard in Handan City, and was immediately greeted by a servant.

A few years ago, Nie Zheng stabbed Qin Jun who had just come of age to sacrifice to Hebo, Gongzi Lian and Shenghui and others got rid of the surveillance of Wei Hou and returned to Qin to take the throne.

They came to Handan, of course, not just to see the old.

At the beginning, more than 30 rebels who followed Shengqiu called each other brothers, and there was another brother of theirs in the courtyard of this manor.

When the two entered the room, the other called the servant to leave, unfolded a secret letter, and said, "You two have come back just in time." There was news from Wei that Wu Qi was indeed excluded, and the Marquis of Wei was extremely distrustful of Wu Qi, and he reused his uncle's acne, and even the soldiers of Xihe were no longer under Wu Qi's control. ”

"Shengxuan means that before leaving Wei and returning to Qin, he had already talked to Wu Qi. Although there was no communication after that, the words back then were still enough to touch Wu Qi. Now that the Chu people are borrowing the power of the inkers, Wu Qi can no longer go to Chu, and Han, Qi and Zhao do not dare to accept Wu Qi in the Central Plains, so they must take this opportunity to find a way to let Wu Qi enter Qin as soon as possible and avoid the eyes and ears of the Wei people. ”

The tall man said: "There are not many princes in the world who dare to use Wu Qi, and it is not bad for the monarch to have such ambitions." The strengths of you and me lie in governing the government, formulating the law, defending the city, and collecting taxes. If you talk about attacking everything, it is better to have more than Wu Qi. ”

"If the king is ambitious, the art of defending the city will be used less, and the good generals who can drum up and enter the battle are suitable for reuse."

As for Wu Qi's entry into Qin, this is something that Sheng Xuan began to plan ten years ago, and now he has finally waited for the opportunity. Sheng Xuan and others are not afraid of Wu Qi's division of power, now Qin is changing, after moving the capital, they avoided the Yongcheng capital with many old nobles, and Qin Jun set up a county reform, and the three counties directly under the jurisdiction of the first change, temporarily do not touch the interests of the old nobles elsewhere, and the officials of these three counties are all disciples of more than 30 people such as Sheng Xuan, and they control the grassroots bureaucrats after the reform of the Qin State, so even if Wu Qi goes, they will not be assigned their authority.

The short man said: "In this way, you and I will be administrative, Wu Qi will lead the army, and great things can be accomplished." It's just that a character like Wu Qi is afraid that even if Wei Hou doesn't use it, he won't let him go easily. That is, I am afraid that I will bear the notoriety of Gou Jian's rabbit dead dog cooking, and I can't kill him......"

"If you want him to secretly leave Wei and enter Qin, I'm afraid it won't work to go to Hexi. If the Wei people chase after the soldiers, Wu Qi will die. At that time, Wei Hou would rather bear the reputation of killing sages than let Wu Qi enter Qin. ”

The tall man laughed and said: "This is Wei Hou, he has the name of being a good man but he doesn't dare to use a good talent, Wei Zhen's talent is far worse than his father Wenhou." Now that he has a reputation, he asked for the throne for the Tian family, and the Han people begged him to respect him, but he was afraid that he would think that he was already Jin Wen Qihuan...... Hahahaha, the concubine is also, it is difficult to make a big deal. ”

The three of them laughed, as early as when they had never rebelled against ink, they often commented on the heroic monarchs of the world, where would they have any respect for the king?

After laughing, the person who held the letter said: "Since you can't go to the West River, then you have to take advantage of the matter after discussing with the Mo family this time and take him along another road." There is no need to think about persuading him to leave, he is bound to leave, and the difficulty of this matter lies in how to return to Qin safely. ”

"In my opinion, we should take advantage of this time because of the Nanzheng affair and the Mo family to discuss iron smelting, through Zhao Di Qi, from Qi to Sishang, and then from Sishang to Chu, through Nanyang into Qin."

"This is something that needs to be carefully planned. This time, taking advantage of Suo Lushen's return, it is also necessary to bring back those dead soldiers who have not joined the Mo family, and the land customs west of Yiqu need to be known. The Central Plains will be in chaos, and the West River is not in a hurry for the time being, and it is the right way to take Luowei as a canal to the west. ”

Both of them also agreed with this idea, and for Wu Qi's departure from the Wei State, the three of them felt that it was inevitable, and the difficulty was only in how to take Wu Qi away safely.

Wu Qi's talent is known today, the West River is strong and strong, and the Qin people cannot cross the Luoshui; In the first battle of the Great Liang Dynasty, the four feudal monarchs of the Chu State and the right Yin were either killed or captured, and it was impossible for such a character Wei Zheng to let go easily. It is better not to use it, and it is not to be put in another country.

And the real purpose of their trip to Handan this time was to take advantage of the fact that Suo Lu Shen had come back to contact the Mo family and talk about some things.

Since Gongzi Lian returned to Qin, the initial change, in order to enhance prestige, expanded to the west, and won successive battles, and the position has been stable.

At this time, he was eyeing Nanzheng of Shu, and Qin Shu had many wars because of Nanzheng before, and they won and lost each other.

The middle land of Nanzheng and Hanzhong is also a fertile soil.

It's just that Shu has not yet been built because of the steep terrain, and it is difficult for Qin to send troops to Hanzhong because of the Baogu and Qinling Mountains, so it has changed hands many times.

But last year, news came from Shu that the king of Shu granted the title of Nanzheng Shou, and the Mo family began to be active in Nanzheng.

It is difficult to transport itself with the Qinling Mountains, and the Mo family's ability to govern and change these rebellions are also known, not to mention the art of defending the city, so it seems that Nanzheng's side cannot be obtained in a short time.

After discussing with Qin Jun, an idea was reached: to exchange some small towns occupied by Qin people near Nanzheng for the Mo family's iron-smelting skills and some technical talents.

Nanzheng is in the hands of the Mo family, if it relies on the development of land and the accumulation of people's organizational forces, it is completely impossible to hold several towns south of the Qinling Mountains, so it is not even thought about, it is better to make a deal as soon as possible.

The Baogu plank road already exists, it is the one burned by the Han Gaozu in later generations, the Qinling Mountains are separated, and it is difficult for Hanzhong to attack Guanzhong, so Qin Jun thinks that as long as the plank road is guarded, in order to hinder the penetration of the Mo family, the Xiaoyi over there will be exchanged for something more beneficial.

After Shengqiu and the others returned to Qin, the first step of the plan twenty years ago had been completed, and the next step was to diligently cultivate politics to complete the reform and wait for the opportunity.

To the west, horses and people could be plundered, and the appearance of iron tools also made it possible for agriculture to develop in the Yellow River.

If you go east, you can not be in a hurry, rely on the Weishui Luoshui defense line, withstand the attack of Wei, and wait for the Central Plains to change.

As for whether the Central Plains has changed...... In Shengqiu's view, this is also an inevitable thing. He didn't believe that the Shi who drove him out of the Mo family in the first place would be so quiet, and now the world basically knows that the giant after the bird slippery is nine times out of ten suitable, and after that, there will be chaos in the east of Luoshui!

The role of iron tools, Sheng Xuan knew how huge it was, and it could also cooperate with the reforms he carried out in the Qin State.

Cutting off contact with other places, monopolizing the iron tools of the government, breaking the fiefdom era of the old aristocracy, centralizing the royal power, organizing households and people, and rewarding farming and warfare, this became a great thing.

The population of some cities north of Zheng and south of Qinling Mountains in the south is suitable for exchange for iron tools. Separated by the Qinling Mountains, there are also many rebels in the Qin State who are good at defending the city, even if the Mo family wants to have any thoughts about the Qin State in the future, it will be impossible to fly over once the plank road is burned.

And iron tools, for the current Qin State, for the Qin Jun who now wants to strengthen the royal power and carry out changes, and for the Shengqiu who wants to do a career, it is definitely worth exchanging with population.

Coupled with the return of Solu Shen from the extreme west, this made Sheng Xuan see another way to accumulate wealth: through those Qin people who returned, they knew the customs and customs of the west, the geography of mountains and rivers, monopolized the commerce to the west, and accumulated wealth.

This series of events is the purpose of these people coming to Handan, and because of the contradiction between the sons of Zhao State, they were seized by Shengqiu, and they also hope to use this opportunity to repair relations with Zhao State, and use diplomatic means to completely disintegrate the Sanjin Alliance.
