Thousand-year-old family: its rise began with Shang Yang’s reforms

Chapter 224: The surge under "Benevolence" [Please subscribe]

The general "Xiang Liang" sitting in front of them had a dull look on his face. What should they do?
He also wanted to ask this question.

He knew beforehand when the Qin State took back the land to the state. The change in this situation would most likely be successful, not to mention that the solution given by the Qin State was still acceptable?

The leaders of Guizhou will not resist such policies and reforms on a large scale.

Because they did not have much land in their hands originally, the current reform can at least ensure that they have enough land in their hands to survive.

This is a good thing for the leaders of Guizhou.

As for those nobles?

There was a bit of disdain on the corner of Xiang Liang's mouth. He clearly understood that those nobles would not have any atmosphere.

After all, Great Qin’s cavalry to suppress the world is still there.

As long as these cavalry are there, the world will not be in turmoil.

"I can't stand it anymore!"

Hu Hai's eyes were filled with sparkling light. He was like a mouse trying to steal the happiness of the world: "If this is really possible, the position of prime minister in the future will definitely belong to the teacher!"

The second year of Zhaoyuan passed very quickly, and everything seemed to be calm.

Zhao Gao sat next to Hu Hai. Hu Hai's eyes were slightly gloomy, and there was a fierce look on his face: "Teacher, when can we take action?"

Zhao Gao looked calmer. He looked at Hu Hai and whispered: "Sir, we need to wait for the time being."

Many years ago, he was ordered to be beaten by the First Emperor for eighty years. Although he barely escaped with his life, he lost the favor of the First Emperor from then on.

The others looked depressed: "Are we just going to wait like this?"

Zhao Gao limped one leg and walked slowly into the courtyard, his expression looking relatively peaceful.

"Some people have already lost their patience."

Fang Yu smiled slightly, the smile on his face looked a little weird, and made people feel scared and frightened just looking at it.

Xiang Liang nodded slightly: "In that case, just wait."

As if he was certain of something, he looked around at everyone present and said, "Everyone, you have been waiting for more than ten years. Are you still afraid of waiting for a few more years?"

"After Fusu dies, the world will still be yours!"

He closed his eyes slightly, and then when he opened them again, there was a "vitality" unique to a young man in his eyes: "There is only one word!"

"They will help us."

Zhao Gao chuckled. He looked at Hu Hai with a somewhat comforting look on his face: "So don't worry."

"Isn't Qin going to reform its laws?"

"wait!"

"Wait for an opportunity."

Xiang Liang sighed silently and tried to smooth things over: "Mr. Fang is right."

Xiang Liang also looked at the young man who spoke. The young man was named "Fang Yu". He came to their Zhuangzi for some reason and showed his approval and support for their affairs.

A person who had been sitting silently stood up with a serious look on his face: "We have no other option at this time."

The teacher of the young master Hu Hai.

He just whispered: "Don't worry, you are not the only ones who want to do something."

"I can not be reconciled!"

Hu Hai's palace

Fang Yu closed his eyes: "It could be as short as three years or as long as seven or eight years. We will have an unprecedented opportunity."

Although he didn't know who Fang Yu came from and what his purpose was, at least Fang Yu was currently standing with them.

Chen Ju's reform involved land, so it was destined to be impossible to complete at a fast speed. They did not encounter any obstacles, but the speed was still slow.

in the palace
In a relatively remote courtyard.

"You have no way out."

It seems that other members of the Chen family have no intention of entering the court as officials again. Although Chen Ju is still in Xianyang City, he has devoted part of his mind to dealing with the Chen family's affairs in Guandu.

"Could it be that if you go out now and want to join the Qin State, the Qin people will accept you?"

Equivalent to remote control.

Not everyone can get involved in the fight between the First Emperor and Chen Zheng.

Because it is not an easy task to manually measure the land in the world.

After all, there is no one in the Guandu Chen family who can make Chen Ju completely relieved.

Of course, the First Emperor was a man who cared about old relationships. Perhaps because of this, he did not take back Zhao Gao's other more important responsibility.

It is precisely because of "Fang Yu" that they can now hide safely in this village.

He squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Although that person is smart and did not fall into our trap, she forgot one thing. Sometimes we don't need her to be so "obedient". She thinks she is loyal to the emperor and the elders. The good things that happen to the young master often harm him."

He gritted his teeth and said, "Obviously I am my father's favorite person! Why did he leave the throne to Fusu in the end!"

The spring of the third year of Zhaoyuan came soon. In this spring, some old people passed away, while other new people came slowly.

Han Fei passed away in this season when spring should have been in full bloom.

He died at home, without any illness or disaster, looking very peaceful as he lay on his bed.

Although Han Fei's descendants are not particularly outstanding, they are not "dandies" either. At most, they can be regarded as relatively outstanding mediocre people.

The second emperor was benevolent and granted a posthumous title.

Several of Han Fei's descendants can enter the Xianyang Academy to study, but they are only "students". After studying for a year, they will be assessed. If they succeed in the examination, they can continue to stay, and they will have nothing to do with the people of Xianyang Academy in the future. Not the slightest difference.

But if you fail, you can only leave the academy.

Han Fei's descendants accepted this quickly. After all, Xianyang Academy is still a giant. Those who can enter the Academy to study are either very outstanding or have outstanding family backgrounds.

Perhaps history will always run in a similar direction, and the current Xianyang Academy has changed somewhat.

It is more like the "Guozijian" of later generations, and some people who have been sheltered by their ancestors can also enter it.

However, the Qin State, the First Emperor, and the Second Emperor still had a bottom line. They only allowed them to study for one year. They could use the reputation of Xianyang Academy to become gilded, but it was impossible to use Xianyang Academy as a stepping stone.

Han Fei's death seemed to cause some trouble, and many talented people passed away one after another.

For example, Feng Jie's father, Feng Quji.

For example, Wang Ben's father, Wang Jian. Compared with the former, the death of the latter was even more difficult to accept. Everyone burst into tears, even those who had not had a good relationship with Wang Jian.

In order to commend Wang Jian for his merits, the second emperor specially named him "Wuchengjun".

Although "hou" and "jun" are almost equivalent, after all, during the reign of the First Emperor, there were no more monarchs, and they were all replaced by feudal lords.

But people just know that Jun is higher than Hou.

Of course, because Wu Chengjun's title was posthumous, they did not receive land like the previous monarchs.

This also relieved Wang Jian's family.

And Wang Jian's departure also meant another thing. The position of Taiwei was once again vacant.

While some people were still thinking about the Taiwei, Fusu had already decided on the candidate for the Taiwei. This candidate would definitely convince everyone.

Because his name is "Li Mu".

One of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period, he made countless contributions throughout his life. In the eyes of the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty, he was almost as good as Wang Jian.

He is also "Chehou".

So he took Wang Jian's place without anyone having any objections.

Apart from these few things, the third year of Zhaoyuan was very peaceful, and the reform did not seem to be hindered in the Qin State. Perhaps it was because Lord Shang was the leader in the reform before, so this reform made people "accustomed to the past" "thing", so I didn't pay much attention to it.

The head of Guizhou in China has always been the best at "obeying".

And some people who wanted to "stir up" something were silently suppressed by the soldiers of Great Qin. Today, Great Qin is still in a prosperous situation.

Zhangtai Palace
Fusu sat in the palace with a tired look on his face, with countless government affairs placed in front of him, which he had to deal with every day.

In the past, the First Emperor had to handle several carts of bamboo slips in government affairs every day, but today's Fusu only has a lot more than the First Emperor, because the Qin Dynasty during this period was in the process of change.

The world, which had been "disintegrated" again in the hands of the First Emperor, was like a dead tree that was once again full of life.

People seemed to see hope again.

"Tap tap tap——"

The sound of footsteps sounded, and Fusu raised his head and looked in the distance, only to see Chen Ju slowly walking over, followed by a half-year-old boy.

There was a hint of curiosity on the young man's face.

"Wen'er?"

Fusu had a surprised look on his face. He put down the government affairs in his hands and looked at Chen Ju: "Why did you come here with Wen'er, sir?"

Chen Ju sat in front of him, with a gentle smile on his face: "I happened to come to your majesty's palace. Who would have thought that I would meet the eldest son by chance, so I brought him with me."

This is Fusu's eldest son, Yingwen.

He is now eleven years old.

Yingwen saluted his father respectfully, and then sat next to Fusu with a well-behaved look on his face.

Fusu curled up the corners of his mouth. Only after having a child could he understand the way his father looked at him in the past, and the expectation in his father's eyes.

He sighed and said, "Mr."

"Great Qin is now thriving, but I don't know how long this peace and prosperity can last?"

Chen Ju didn't look as worried as Fusu, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, we can do it, just do the things in our hands and the things in front of us, right?"

His expression remained unchanged, nothing abnormal at all.

"Leave the affairs of the next generation to the next generation."

Chen Ju looked at Ying Wen on the side: "Wen'er is talented and intelligent, and will definitely be able to take over the heavy responsibilities in His Majesty's hands. The current situation of Da Qin will only need to continue for one more generation before it can be completely stabilized."

This is not a lie, but a genuine answer based on reality.

In the three years since Fusu ascended the throne, he appointed virtuous ministers and stayed away from traitors, advocated reform and was "generous and benevolent". Even if he only ascended the throne for three years, it was enough to make the already "fertile" land of Da Qin rejuvenate. .

Da Qin is gradually getting on the right track.

Although Xianyang Academy is still inconspicuous, the students who come out of it all belong to the same "faction", that is, the "new nobles". They are the same "new forces" as the new nobles who supported Shang Yang's reform.

The new forces are always at odds with the old forces from the moment they are born, because the cake is only so big, and each of them wants to monopolize it.

Therefore, these students from Xianyang Academy are naturally the enemies of the "old aristocrats" represented by the various prefectures and counties today. They plunder the "cakes" and "rights" that do not originally belong to them from the hands of the old aristocrats. .

This is also one of the reasons why the remnants of the Six Kingdoms feel that life is getting harder and harder.

After all, the "grass" standing on the wall that could originally help them have been gradually replaced by these "new forces".

Without these county guards, they naturally would not have the ability and ability to live a "comfortable" life.

Although Xianyang Academy's training of students is not very fast, in the three years since the First Emperor's period and now in the Zhaoyuan period, it has replaced 30 to 40% of the decadent old aristocrats.

Fusu and Chen Ju were discussing government affairs in the court and in the world. Yingwen himself sat beside the two of them, listening to their conversation and summarizing his own opinions from the conversation. When Chen Ju While resting with Fusu, he expressed his opinions in exchange for Fusu and Chen Ju's advice.

In fact, Yingwen originally wanted to become a disciple of Chen Ju, and even Fusu had agreed to it, but in the end Chen Ju refused.

Fusu naturally did not doubt the Chen family and Chen Ju, but Chen Ju said that the Chen family's power was already huge enough, and there were too many entanglements between the Chen family and Qin.

He even nodded to the "Promise between King Zhaoxiang" without leaving a trace, and Fusu, who was reminded, could only regretfully express that since Chen Ju didn't want to, there was no need to accept a disciple.

but--

It was also from that time that every time Chen Ju came to discuss government affairs with Fusu, he would "coincidentally" meet Yingwen to pay his respects to his father.

After many times, Chen Ju reacted naturally.

But he didn't care and just continued to pretend not to know.

Sometimes, appropriate silence is the best solution, isn't it?

The fourth year of Zhaoyuan came quietly in such an atmosphere.

This spring, Chen Ju took a leave of absence from Fu Su and wanted to return to Guandu. He discovered some minor problems in the Chen family. Of course, the most important reason was not this, but the birth of his eldest son.

Chen Ju's wife returned to Guandu after becoming pregnant, and the birth was naturally also in Guandu.

Fusu was embarrassed to refuse Chen Ju's request for leave. After all, this was Chen Ju's eldest son, and Chen Ju was indeed not too young to have his first child.
Therefore, Chen Ju's request was granted.

Outside Xianyang City.

A carriage was slowly heading towards Guandu, and at this time, there was some dark and silent "surge" in Xianyang City.

Those lurking in the darkness began to stretch out their tentacles.
