In order to preach to the Son of Heaven of the Great Zhou, Yang Zhu lived in the palace of the Son of Heaven for a few days.

Zhuang Zhou also took this opportunity to enjoy the best delicacy in the world. It was also the best delicacy he had ever tasted in his life, and for the first time.

With the customs clearance document issued by Zhou Tianzi, the road was smooth, and soon he arrived at Hangu Pass, a place where soldiers must fight.

Yang Zhu took Zhuang Zhou to visit the checkpoint where the ancestor Yin Xi once guarded, and told Zhuang Zhou about the encounter with the ancestor of Laozi. And then! Take Zhuang Zhou to find a place to live in seclusion in this area.

Unfortunately! This is a place where soldiers must fight, and seclusion is just a joke, just looking for the protection of soldiers.

Later, I went to the nearby Mt. Kuo, which is also a good place to live in seclusion. It's a pity that, like Hangu Pass, it is a place where soldiers must fight, and it is impossible to live in seclusion.

"It seems? I can only go to the land of Bashu! ”

Originally! Yang Zhu planned to live in seclusion nearby, keep in touch with the Great Zhou world, and keep abreast of the situation at all times. It is a seclusion rather than an escape from the world, and when he reaches the margins, he will not be able to let Zhuang Zhou get in touch with the world, so as to "watch from the sidelines" and look at the world with correct thinking and vision. If you can't see the world clearly, you can't understand Taoist doctrine correctly.

If you can't see the world clearly, you don't have enough examples, and even if you understand the teachings of Taoism, you will often be criticized when you preach. The theory of communication should not only cite the past and discuss the present, but also use concrete examples in reality to support it.

After leaving Kunshan and entering the Qin State, the master and apprentice no longer went out day and night. The Qin State, which fought almost every year, was sparsely populated, and its folk customs were different from those of other princes. In addition, Qin Xiaogong has begun to reuse Wei Martingale and reformed the Qin State, and people are busy studying laws and regulations.

Furthermore! Qin was a poor country, and there were very few businessmen who came to Qin. Those who are fleeing the war will not come to Qin, a place where the war is constantly torn and poor. So! Since entering the border of the Qin Kingdom, there has been less walking on the road.

But! On the official road of the Qin State, there are also bright posts and secret posts.

The state of Qin adopted the law of continuous tracking of people entering and leaving the country. For those who are suspicious, they will all be registered, ask about your ins and outs, and then issue the customs clearance documents of the Qin State, so that the combination of two certificates can be unimpeded.

If you change your mind halfway and do not go to the destination you registered in first, you must apply to the official for a change in time, otherwise! I'm sorry! You will come with me to the government to find out if you are a spy?

In the Qin State, the customs clearance documents of the Great Zhou Tianzi were just as effective. But! Your whereabouts are just as watched. The first checkpoint to register must report the news to the capital city in an expedited manner.

Since entering the Qin State, he has often been interrogated and followed, which makes Yang Zhu very annoying. It is not good to walk at night, and if it is blocked by the authorities, it will be even more troublesome to interrogate. There was no choice but to give up the official road and take the small road.

In a word! In the Qin State, you can't move an inch without an ID card. You have an ID card, you don't explain the purpose of your coming to Qin, you don't go to the destination you said when you registered, and you can't move an inch.

Yang Zhu's master and apprentice luckily escaped many checkpoints, and when they arrived in the hinterland of the Qin State, they thought that they would have to relax when they left the border inspection.

On this day, after a few days of traveling, the two came to a folk town, ready to buy some daily necessities. Outcome! When people find out that you are a foreigner, they pay attention to you. The person who does business with you must go to the police after the business is done. If you don't report it to the official, they will be guilty of "knowing and not reporting it" if you violate any law in the future.

The state of Qin has always been a war-ready country, always ready for war, and always worried about spies to disturb the people's hearts. So! I have to guard against it.

And also! People everywhere have a kind of xenophobia mentality, and they have an instinctive guard against outsiders.

Before Yang Zhu's master and apprentice left the market town, the local government sent someone to check the ID card. Outcome! I found that the destination written on the customs clearance document of Yang Zhu and Zhuang Zhou was Xianyang, but you ran to the countryside, what do you mean?

"Take it away!"

couldn't help but say, several officials stepped forward and escorted Yang Zhu and Zhuang Zhou to the government for interrogation.

"Am I not? Am I not? I have a clearance document for the Great Zhou Tianzi? I am the envoy of the Great Zhou, and I am here to check the people's situation in the world on behalf of the Son of Heaven? I? Above the lobby of the official mansion, Yang Zhu quibbled.

"You have the clearance document of the Great Zhou Tianzi! But? Right now! We don't know if you forged this clearance document? And also! When you entered our Qin State checkpoint, the purpose you registered was Xianyang City. Do you see you now? Where have you been? You're lost, aren't you? The official asked jokingly.

"Am I not? I? Isn't it that I don't understand the laws of your Qin Kingdom? You Qin State? When was the law changed? Why is it so strict, and it doesn't let people move around casually? This? This doesn't take advantage of the development of your Qin State, does it? Any wonder? Are you Qin so poor? ”

"Bold!" The official slapped the table and shouted.

Where has Zhuang Zhou seen the government trial, he knelt under the lobby, looking lively. When the official was angry, he restrained a little.

"Our Qin State! The law has been changed for a while! Those who don't know are not to blame! As long as you explain the reason, you will not be investigated! "That's it! A group of people walked outside the lobby. One of them, talking as he walked.

"Who is bold! How dare you break into my lobby! When the official saw a group of people breaking in, he asked loudly.

"Zuo Shu has grown!"

Then! A man shouted loudly!

"Zuo Shuchang?" When the official heard this, his voice trembled on the spot. Hurriedly left the official case and went down to the lobby to greet him.

Yang Zhu and Zhuang Zhou were still kneeling there, crowded by everyone.

Who is Zuo Shuchang?

At this time, the left chief of the Qin State was the Wei Ying who implemented the law change.

After Wei Ying implemented the law change, he was very concerned about the implementation of the new law. So! He often put on peasant clothes and went to the countryside to check the people's sentiments and opinions. It's only true if you see it with your own eyes. What the officials below reported may not be true.

At that time, the conservative forces of the Qin State and the opposition of the reform of the law spread rumors everywhere about how the reform was bad. Nature! Some local officials, coerced and induced by opposition forces, have been forced to report false information. Anyway, there are people in the back who support them, and you can't do anything about them if you tell lies.

It is precisely for this reason that Wei Ying often comes down in person to check the people's situation and grasp first-hand information. In the face of the facts, in the face of the results of the reform, the opposition had nothing to say, and the Qin State was able to succeed in changing the law.

The people's aspirations, the pace of historical progress is unstoppable!

Wei Ying ignored the flattery and officialdom formalism etiquette of the officials and other sycophants, and came directly to Yang Zhu and Zhuang Zhou, looking at the two of them.

"Two of you, please!" Wei Ying gestured. And stretched out his hand to help Zhuang Zhou up, carefully examining it.

"You? You? You? What is your name? Wei Ying asked.

"He? His name is Zhuang Gu! The official hurried over to introduce.

"Zhuang Gu?" Wei Ying pondered and said, "I think he looks like an old friend of mine!" ”

"The deceased?" The official froze.

Zhuang Zhou slapped Wei Ying on the top and smiled! said: "You are still a left-hand chief when you become an official, you?" Why are you dressed like this? It's like a farmer! I almost didn't recognize you? ”

"You?" The official shouted on the side.

"Who are you?" Wei Ying asked in surprise, "Are you really Zhuang Zhou?" You? Have you grown taller? You? ”

"I'm eleven years old!"

"Ahh Sure enough, it's you! Wei Ying laughed!

"I haven't seen you in over a year! You've grown so tall! You! ”

"I thought I wouldn't see you anymore!" Zhuang Zhou was also overjoyed.
