Chen Kexing stood up, returned the salute, and then said: "Classmate Liu, there are four ways, the first is to reduce the army and reduce expenses, since there is no war in the Qi country, let most of the young and strong people be disarmed and return to the field, and only need to leave a small part of the army on the border to guard against neighboring countries." ”

Sun Fuwu snorted coldly when he heard this.

Chen Kexing ignored him, but continued: "The second is that the monarch and the people plough together, and the virtuous monarch should cultivate with the people to obtain his own grain, cook breakfast and dinner by himself, and handle state affairs. As long as the monarch leads by example, then the whole country will attach importance to farming, and within a few years, the granary of Qi will be full, and Qi will be able to recover. ”

Sun Fuwu muttered dissatisfiedly: "What are you, this monarch and the people are ploughing together is just a cliché that your farmer ancestor Xu Xing has long put forward!" No monarch would do that! ”

Chen Kexing glared and said: "How can it not work, back then, Qi Linggong was happy to see the women around him dressed as men, so the concubines and maids all wore men's clothes and men's decorations. At one time, women in the country followed suit, and the city and countryside were full of men and women. It can be seen that the king's behavior will make the people of the whole country compete to imitate. If the king can cultivate the land himself, why worry about the people not being able to eat! ”

Sun Fuwu was silent for a moment, and arched his hand towards Chen Kexing: "This one makes sense, but what about the other two?" ”

Chen Kexing nodded and continued: "The third is that the market is not the same, and the price is set according to the length, size, quantity, and quality of the goods, so that merchants are not allowed to exploit it, and the price is not raised to deceive the people. In this way, there are uniform regulations on the prices of various items in the market, and without the second price, there will be no more fraud, and even if children go to the market to buy things, they will not be deceived. In this way, the rich will not be able to exploit the poor, and the people of Qi will be rich. Fourth, the country will naturally be able to become rich and strong. ”

Sun Fuwu pondered for a moment and retorted: "You said that the last three points are all measures for the benefit of the people, I have no opinion, but if you want to reduce the army, I will ask you, if the disaster came twenty years ago, there was no army to protect the family and defend the country, would you sit back and wait for our Qi country to be destroyed?" ”

More than 20 years ago, the state of Qi was still the king of Qi, and King Yan Zhao appointed Le Yi as a general, leading the five kingdoms of Yan, Zhao, Han, Wei, and Qin to attack Qi, and captured more than 70 cities in one fell swoop, and went straight to the capital Linzi. Burned down the temple of Qidu Zong, plundered all the treasures and property, and returned them to the Yan Kingdom, almost destroying the entire Qi Kingdom.

The king of Qi fled, and only the two cities of Jimo and Ju were still holding on. At this most critical juncture, Tian Dan was born heroically, using these two cities as a base to lead the army and people of Qi to resist stubbornly!

Le Yi besieged the city for three years. After the death of King Zhao, King Yanhui, who had just ascended the throne, fell for Tian Dan's counter-plan, changed generals before the battle, withdrew Le Yi, and attacked the city by cavalry. The cavalry couldn't be attacked for a long time, but he was hit by Tian Dan's fire bull formation, and the army was defeated. Qi can take advantage of the situation to recover all the lost ground.

Even if Qi has not participated in any wars over the years, but encourages trade, recuperation, and national strength has recovered, but the gap between the rich and the poor in the country is still huge, the aristocracy is prevalent in usury, the people are poor and cannot eat, and the national government is still sluggish.

The tragedy of the destruction of the country more than 20 years ago, the young people of their generation have never experienced it, but their parents and grandparents are struggling to survive in that war. At this time, when he heard Sun Fuwu's words, they all felt concerned, and Liu Kun, who stood up and asked Chen Kexing, sighed bitterly, arched his hand to Chen Kexing, and sat back in his seat in a dejected manner.

For a while, the hall on the second floor was silent, and no one wanted to speak, and the students of Qi Kingdom even put down their chopsticks, bowing their heads one by one in contemplation, with indignation on their faces!

The foreign students who were mixed in with it were at a loss when they saw the atmosphere like this, and they all put down their chopsticks one after another.

At this moment, a clear voice sounded-

"The army defends the homeland and defends the country, and the peasants cultivate the land and produce beams to support the army, which is a match made in heaven. However, the poverty of the country is far from the teacher, and the people are poor if they are far away. If the long-term tyrannical division is insufficient, the country will not be able to use it enough. When the army is idle and does not produce, it has to eat grain, and when the war is heavy, the grain and grass are exported far away, and it costs a lot of money. Four years ago, the battle of Qin and Zhao Changping, Zhao State was exhausted due to years of war, the domestic grain and grass were exhausted, the king of Zhao could not afford to delay, and could not borrow food, so he was forced to rush to end the war, and replaced the old and serious Lian Po with the young and impulsive Zhao Kuo, resulting in the tragedy of 300,000 soldiers in Changping being killed. ”

A handsome young man who looked humble and elegant, with low eyebrows, stood up from his seat and spoke eloquently.

"It's Li Si, a disciple of Master Xun!"

"I don't know what this Li Si thinks?"

"Listen to what he has to say!"

“……”

The students in the hall on the second floor were talking one after another, and it was obvious that Li Si was also a well-known figure in the Jixia School Palace.

When Lu Yunzhou heard Li Si's name, he also turned his head in surprise to look at this Legalist genius who single-handedly contributed to Qin Shi Huang's feat of unifying the Seven Kingdoms.

Lu Yunzhou was a little excited in his heart, he didn't expect to be able to see this famous bull man up close so soon!

Well, just looking at this extraordinary appearance, he is not an ordinary person!

Be sure to ask him for an autograph later!

I saw Li Si speak again: "Among the seven kingdoms, Qin, Qi, Chu, and Wei are all large grain-producing countries, and they are all self-sufficient. On the other hand, South Korea and Yan are barren and have a shortage of food, and they often have to borrow grain from other countries to sustain themselves in famine years. Although Zhao has a large area of fertile land in the southeast, the wider area in the northwest is full of lofty mountains and mountains, and the grain can only be said to be barely enough to maintain, but it is rare to have a surplus. But as Chen said, even if it is a big grain-producing country, there will be times when it will sit and eat empty. It is precisely because of this that the Shang Dynasty reform of the Qin State combined cultivation and warfare, and implemented the method of cultivation and warfare in order to seek a long-term plan. But—"

Speaking of this, Li Si chuckled lightly and said: "But the method of cultivation and warfare directly harms the interests of the nobles, and unlike the determined change of the law of the Qin State, it is simply difficult to implement in the Six Kingdoms of Shandong!" ”

"What the hell is he trying to say? Is it just to elevate the Qin State and belittle the Six Kingdoms of Shandong? ”

"No, Li Si is from Chu!"

"The Qin State has indeed done a better job than all countries, you look at those stupid aristocrats in our country, who are full of food all day long, and they are all silverfish that damage the country to fatten themselves!"
