Seeing that Zhuangzi really didn't have the idea of coming to Wei to be an official, Hui Shi's hanging heart finally let go. Bayi Chinese ≠≈≥.≠8=1≤Z≥≥.=C≤O≥M He knows! Zhuangzi is pretending to be pitiful. This person is deep in the city because he was persecuted in the Song Kingdom, and he didn't dare to be an official anymore, let alone be in the limelight.

Zhuangzi! It's a talent! And! He's a great talent!

Hui Shi had to admire it in his heart.

When King Wei Hui saw Zhuangzi's appearance, he was first disappointed, and then relieved. Since Zhuangzi refused to be an official, but! It's okay to be a friend! As? No longer persecute him, but consult him.

Wei Gongzhong had already prepared, and under the arrangement of the eunuch, a banquet was quickly put on the table.

King Wei Hui sat on the throne and invited Zhuangzi to dinner with the etiquette of a king. This! He didn't eat it alone with a knife, as he did last time. Nor did he slap the plate with a knife from time to time while contemptuous of Zhuangzi with his eyes, as he did last time. But! Take it seriously and treat it with the courtesy of a monarch and a minister.

Zhuangzi and Hui Shi had just eaten at the cemetery, and their stomachs were still full. But! Out of etiquette, it is still symbolically eaten.

After eating some, Zhuangzi and Hui Shi put down the tableware and stopped eating.

Seeing this, King Wei Hui was no longer reluctant. Everyone started talking while drinking. Originally! This is not a meal, it is a courtesy. So! You can talk while eating. Furthermore! There are no rules in front of the king, and every word and deed of the king is the rule.

"Zhuangzi is a great talent!" Hui Shi arched his hand towards King Wei Hui and said, "He was forced to be helpless to become like this!" Understandable! How can one person's strength compete with Song Quecheng? Song is a king, and Zhuangzi is just a courtier! No! Just the people of the Song Kingdom.

Although Zhuangzi is the inheritor of Taoist doctrine, after all, he has only just debuted, and the Taoist protector is still not at ease with him.

About the lacquer garden! Song Que became a shirk of responsibility and did not dare to confront South Korea, so he blamed all the sins on the Taoists. No! In fact, it is to blame Zhuangzi......"

Hui Shi can speak well and talk about Zhuangzi's affairs in general.

When King Wei Hui heard this, he nodded from time to time, and looked at Zhuangzi with his eyes from time to time, indicating that he felt the same way.

Hui Shi also took this opportunity to "find steps" for Zhuangzi. What he meant was: Zhuangzi has gone through so many things, and for a while, he has no intention of entering politics.

King Wei Hui thinks that this is also the case, Zhuangzi is a talent, but after these things, you just reluctantly let him be an official, and he can't do anything good. So! Zhuangzi said that he was incompetent and did not want to be an official, so he did not mention the matter of being an official again.

After talking about Zhuangzi and the Song State, as soon as the conversation changed, it came to the Wei side.

"How to revitalize the widowed Wei State?" King Wei Hui asked.

Hui Shi arched his hand and said: "When we consolidate diplomatic relations, we should consolidate diplomatic relations with big countries and consolidate small countries!" ”

"How to 'make peace with big countries, solid small countries'?" King Wei Hui asked. His tone was soft, his expression serious, and he rarely showed such respect for people.

"To make peace with a great power is to revise the alliance with the Qin State and reconcile with the Chu State. Re-establish the Three Jin Covenants with Zhao and Korea. To consolidate small countries is to continue to maintain an alliance relationship with small countries......"

King Wei Hui interrupted: "What do you think? The widowed Wei State is like a peacemaker? This is not in line with the old style of widows (domineering)! The widowed Wei State, although it was defeated in Maling, is it not like this? Zhuangzi? You said? What should a widow do? ”

Zhuangzi nodded and agreed: "The king is right! We must not give the illusion of weakness! Diplomatic relations are needed, and whether a great war is won or lost, it needs to recuperate. The so-called killing 10,000 enemies and self-loss of 3,000. So! In terms of diplomatic relations, it is necessary to be hard when it should be hard. It is enough to maintain the style of the past, not to intensify contradictions, and not to induce war. ”

"Hmmm! Just in line with the widow's wishes! King Wei Hui listened, nodded towards Zhuangzi, and agreed.

Hui Shi touched a nail and didn't dare to emphasize it, but looked at Zhuangzi with his eyes.

I thought: Sure enough! I haven't come to Wei to be an official yet, so I came to King Wei Hui to have a meal and went to heaven.

Think about it? I think it's like that.

But! I'm not done yet, huh?

I'm proposing a policy of diplomatic relations, but I'm not a peacemaker, right? Isn't it a sign of weakness? I?

It's also not interesting to argue, so it's better not to say it. I'll listen to you first, and then I'll come back to find the holes in your words.

Hui Shi retracted his gaze, secretly ruthless in his heart, and competed with Zhuangzi.

"Diplomatic relations are to stabilize the country and maintain the stability of the country without being affected by foreign forces. And the main thing is to govern the country! Only by properly managing the country can the country become truly strong. Zhuangzi said.

"Hmmm! Right! That? King Wei Hui asked, "How should the widow govern the country so that the country can become strong and prosperous quickly?" ”

Zhuangzi glanced at Hui Shi, and when he saw Hui Shi bowing his head and not saying a word, he also guessed a few points. Jealousy is common to all. Even if it's yourself, I'm afraid sometimes you can't be an exception.

Seeing that King Wei Hui asked, he had to talk. If you don't show a little real skill today, you won't be able to pass the level of King Wei Hui.

Zhuangzi bowed his hand, and when he saw the Wei Hui Dynasty, he nodded, so he didn't give anything more humble, and said.

"Wei's top priority is to census the population and adjust the population structure, and the size of the population represents the comprehensive national strength of a country. So! The top priority is to expand the population ......"

"How do you develop the population?" King Wei Hui asked with great interest.

"First! Adjust the army, retire all the disabled personnel in the army, let them go home, marry and have children. They can't fight in the army anymore, and it's useless to stay in the army. When a retired soldier starts a family and has children, he also contributes to the country, so! Support should be given in terms of tax reductions and exemptions. Because! They are meritorious people, and again! In terms of labor, because of the disability, it is definitely worse than others. So! ...... to reduce their taxes"

When Hui Shi heard this, he was about to refute, when he saw King Wei Hui glaring at him, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to say more.

The reason he wanted to refute was: what will happen to the army if the disabled personnel of the army are decommissioned?

It is dangerous for a country to not have a solid national defense. Although these people are disabled, how many can still fill the number of people? At least to give the enemy country a false impression, how many troops does Wei still have?

That's it! Zhuangzi continued to speak.

"To let the disabled army retire, it is natural to replenish new recruits to ensure the number of troops and maintain combat effectiveness. But! With the purpose of expanding the population, we must let the recruits get married and have children before they are conscripted, and they can only enlist if they ensure that their wives are pregnant. And also! We should send servicemen back to their hometowns to visit their relatives. Visiting relatives is one thing, but marrying a wife and having children is really ......"
