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

Chapter 41 Attitude [Second update, please collect and read]

"Chief Zuo feels that this will be a change that will give the old nobles a chance to breathe. That's because Chief Zuo is from an omniscient and omnipotent perspective."

"But the old nobles can only see what they can see now."

Chen Ye smiled slightly: "If we move the capital at this time, they will only think that we want to drive them out."

"Under such circumstances, they will definitely jump over the wall and want to make a last-ditch effort."

"Isn't this a good thing for us?"

Chen Ye blinked and said with a smile: "We know that they are going to fight to the death, and we know most of their trump cards. The next thing to do is to let them go."

"The defense now only takes a moment. When they are uprooted, there will be no need to defend anymore."

"Moreover, Chief Zuo is going to carry out the second reform. Isn't this the best opportunity?"

"By taking the opportunity to uproot them, the implementation of the new law will definitely go more smoothly, especially on the two new laws of Abandoned Jingtian and Xingjun County."

"After all, whether it is the current wells or counties, they were originally the sphere of influence of the old nobles, weren't they?"

Shang Yang raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking about the rationality of what Chen Ye said.

He found that what Chen Ye said was the best choice.

Qin Xiaogong also pondered for a moment, and finally made a decision: "Then, let's move the capital!"

"The relocation of the capital will be implemented together with the new law. When the capital is successfully moved, the new law must have also been successful. At that time, Qin will appear in front of the world in a completely new look!"

After deciding to move the capital, negotiating the address of the new capital was a trivial matter.

Because at present, there is only one place suitable for moving the capital to the new capital.

Xianyang City.

First of all, Xianyang City is closer to the hinterland of the Central Plains, and secondly, there is a broad plain there, which is suitable for the new capital to stand.

Sitting there, he is the best choice whether he is defending or going east.

Outside the Qin Palace, on the long street.

Shang Yang and Chen Ye walked slowly on the slightly cold streets, slowly heading towards the outer city.

Neither of them spoke, just walking slowly.

With their steps and a little wind blowing from the roadside, a cool feeling appeared.

The raindrops slowly appeared out of nowhere, and then fell on the cheeks, foreheads, and hair of the two people. Fortunately, the rain was not heavy, but such slow falling made people feel a bit comfortable out of thin air.

Shang Yang didn't speak, he just felt the raindrops falling on him.

Chen Ye didn't speak, not because he didn't know what to say, but because he enjoyed this slightly lonely and silent atmosphere. After all, he didn't like talking much.

In the end, Shang Yang spoke first. He didn't look at Chen Ye, but his eyes shone with a little softness.

"What you want me to feel, I've already felt."

Shang Yang's voice is ordinary, but if you listen carefully, you can hear the somewhat complicated emotions hidden in it.

"It's just that I don't know whether your choice or your path is the right one."

He laughed at himself: "When we first met, I discovered that you were unusual."

"You seem to have been so destitute that you have to beg for food, but there is no dirt on your clothes or on your cheeks. You look like a young man in trouble, with some nobility and scholarly air about you."

"At that time, I had already made up my mind to implement the new method. I felt that my future was hopeless, but I didn't want to let all my life's learning go to waste. Then I happened to meet you, and I wanted to accept you as a disciple and pass on my mantle."

Shang Yang turned his head and looked into Chen Ye's eyes for the first time today. "I just didn't expect that you already have a ridge in your heart. I'm afraid your wisdom is no longer inferior to mine."

"Maybe I'll call you 'Chen Zi' in the future."

Shang Yang turned his head and looked at the increasingly lively streets in the distance: "I shamelessly call myself your teacher, so I have a few inappropriate words to say to you."

"Whether you want to hear it or not."

When he said this, he paused briefly and continued without waiting for Chen Ye to speak: "If you want to stick to your own school and ideas and spread them, then you must recruit many disciples."

"But establishing a sect is not a simple matter. The road ahead is very long."

"Teacher, I hope you can always stick to your heart."

Shang Yang's voice was a little low: "I will gradually modify the Qin Law, but your path and mine are different."

He pointed to the fork in the distance: "Just like this fork in the road, it's time for you and me to separate."

Shang Yang walked forward, stood at the fork in the road, turned to look at Chen Ye behind him, and said again: "You and I, let's go our separate ways."

Chen Ye walked to Shang Yang's side, and when he was about to say something, Shang Yang whispered again: "I know what you are thinking, and I don't want to pretend to be a saint."

"but"

Shang Yang said somewhat complicatedly: "If I really have one day in the future, I can save him if I can, but if I can't save him, don't involve myself in it."

"I don't have much kindness to you."

After finishing speaking, he bowed slightly, then turned and left.

Chen Ye stood there, looking at Shang Yang walking further and further away from the fork in the road. The expression on his face was a little gloomy, and he just sighed slightly.

He turned and left, never looking back.

morning meeting.

Chen Ye sat in the main hall without saying a word. He just watched all this happen like an outsider.

After deliberation in the previous two days, Qin Xiaogong did not delay and proposed the idea of ​​moving the capital today. Along with the capital move, the second new law was proposed.

As expected, no one among the old nobles raised any objections, but everyone's attitudes began to converge.

They stopped fighting among themselves and had no other ideas.

Because this time has reached the final moment.

If you don't resist, you will die.

If the well-field system is changed, their interests will be shaken; if the county system is implemented, their basic base will be shaken.

When their most fundamental interests and the most fundamental "foundation" of their existence are about to be shaken, they have no choice but to fight to the death.

But they forgot one thing. Do they still have the ability to resist under the premise that they are being "cut off" gradually?

In the eighth year of Qin Xiaogong's reign, Shang Yang's second reform began in a strange calm, extremely slow and irresistible state.

This reform was carried out a full four years earlier than the original time in history.

At the same time, Qin State also launched a plan to move its capital.

At this time, in the Central Plains country, Zhao State started a war against Wei State's ally, Wei State, in an attitude that no one expected.
