A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 199

Wang Pu was very happy about Wu Qi's arrival, and he was about to reward a mansion near the Huaiguo palace, and asked Wu Qi how to govern the country.

Wu Qi asked: "May I ask what your ambition is?"

Wang Pu asked: "There are many disputes in the world, the Zhou family is dark and weak, the princes conquer each other, the people are displaced, and they are alone and do not measure their virtues. They want to calm the chaos in the world, but their wisdom is short. Only the Huai country can be peaceful, but the ambition is still unstoppable. Do you think the plan will come out?"

Wu Qi paused for a moment, and then bowed to him: "Your ruler has the ambition to conquer the world, and the opportunity to handle the world. I admire you and wish to do the work of a dog and a horse."

"Sir, please get up quickly!" Wang Pu hurriedly helped Wu Qi up, and then asked: "If it is to be realized, sir, do you have a good plan?"

Wu Qi replied: "Since the Zhou Dynasty moved to the east and the princes merged, the disputes in the world have been nearly 300 years. The three families have been divided into the Jin Dynasty, and the family has been in charge of killing the land. The chaos has become more and more chaotic. Your Majesty has the ambition of the world, and he should be the leader of the heroes. Thirst, if you can cross Jinghuai, join Qinrong in the west, conquer Yiyue in the south, connect Yanzhao in the north, cultivate politics internally, and the world changes, then send the army in the north of Huaihe to attack Qi."

"If the state of Qi falls, the army of Jingzhou can go north to Wei and Han, and the other way can go out of Qi to respond."

"If Han and Wei are defeated, they should occupy all the land in the Central Plains. If so, Yan, Zhao and Qin can easily win, so the world can be peaceful."

Wang Pu said: "Good! Mr.'s strategy won my heart!"

Wang Pu then worshiped Wu Qi as Shangqing and served as Xiangguo of Huaiguo.

After Wu Qi became an official, he became familiar with the government affairs and system of the Huai State. After half a month, he read a lot of the Huai State's decrees, and Wu Qi had a clearer understanding of the Huai State.

In the past, the countries of the Central Plains had the impression of the Huai Kingdom as the survivors of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, the barbarians, the soldiers with sharp armor, the Legalists' innovation, and the land of smog and so on.

But after getting to know the Huai country, I realized that those impressions were too one-sided. The Huai country has a land of thousands of miles, a population of more than seven million, thousands of miles of fertile fields, and 30 armored.

Moreover, although the reforms promoted by the Huai State and the Wei State Reforms have the same source, they are completely different.The reform of the Wei State advocated doing the best of the people, flattening the law, abolishing the privileges of the nobility, selecting talents and talents, and clearly distinguishing rewards and punishments.

The law of reform in the Huai Kingdom is to live with the common people, and everything must not exhaust the power of the people. It also strictly restricts the nobles, abolishes their privileges, selects talents and promotes talents, and clearly distinguishes rewards and punishments.

The Huai State Office did not forcibly abolish the rights of the nobles to be fiefs and become officials, but they made strict restrictions. That's why Wu Qi was amazed.

There have been Ming emperors in all dynasties, and the Huai country should have such prosperity.

Wei Guo's reform cannot be said to be wrong. In fact, Wu Qi is very aware of the disadvantages of Wei Guo's reform, but Wei Guo's reform has to be done.Wei State is located in the land of the Four Wars, the country is small and has enclaves, and the surrounding countries are eyeing it. If this reform is not implemented, Wei State will be annexed soon.

Li Kui's reform was to unleash [-]% of Wei's potential, and then use this unleashed potential to seize the land of Xihe.Immediately afterwards, Wu Qi used the land of Xihe to train Wei Wuzu.

Then he fought east and west to open up the situation for Wei. If Wei Hou didn't suspect Wu Qi, he would continue to appoint him as a general.When the time comes to destroy Qin State in the west, Wei State will have room for strategic maneuvering. The land of Western Qin State will be the foundation of Wei State's hegemony. Base too.

According to Li Kui, Wei Wenhou, and Wu Qi's reform ideas, it is necessary to unite the three Jins first, block Qi and Chu, and then annex the land of Hexi to attack Qin.

Only when Wei State annexed Qin State can there be room for strategic maneuvers, and at the same time Li Kui's reforms can continue to be implemented.Otherwise, just relying on the original land of Wei State, it would not be able to support the continuous expansion of Wei Wuzu.

Wei's reforms are extremely aggressive and aggressive, and the newly emerging interest classes will continue to push Wei's progress, wage wars, and gain land wealth.

After obtaining the land, develop Wei Wuzu again, and then continue to fight to obtain land.A cycle is formed in this way. If this cycle can be stabilized, Wei Guo's strength will be like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger.

Originally, this plan was implemented very well during Wei Wenhou's period. If Wei Wenhou lived for another ten years, after Wei Guo annexed Qin State, Wei Guo would really soar into the sky.

It is a pity that Wei Wenhou died, and his son Wei Jian did not seriously implement Wei's line, and drove away the most critical person in Wei's system-Wu Qi.

Without Wu Qi, Wei Guo's attempt to annex Qin is basically a dream.

Next, Wei State and Qin State will fall into a confrontation, and the two sides will compete for the land of Hexi in the next few decades.

Wei State is in the place of the Four Wars. If Wei Jian is smart, he will continue to unite with the Three Jins while he is now, not to compete with Qi, Chuhuai and other countries in the Central Plains, and even give some benefits to Zhao State, and then take advantage of the national power to destroy Losing Qin State, just looking at Wei Hou, he is the kind of master who is very happy, can take advantage and never suffers, how can he give up the benefits to Zhao State?
This Marquis of Wei inherited Marquis Wen's military talent, but he was only a passing grade in politics.

The reform of Wei State is very strong. As long as Qin State is annexed, Wei State will have a future.But if it loses, it will be a complete failure, and there is no possibility of turning over.

Wei State's reform and system reform is because Wei State is inherently flawed, as long as it fails several times in a row, it will basically collapse.

In contrast, the reforms of the Huai country are more moderate, and the reforms of the Huai country are mainly to suppress the nobility and the growth of the powerful.The growth of nobles, nobles, and tyrants will squeeze the living space of ordinary people.Huaiguo's ruling dynasties have been very clear that the small people are the cornerstone of the country.

Small people pay taxes, serve corvee, conscript soldiers, and contribute to the country. It is precisely because of these thousands of small people that Huai State has such a strong national power.

If those nobles are allowed to be strong and powerful, they will hide their population, hide their fields, and turn ordinary people into their tenants, servants, etc.These people do not have to perform corvee service, pay taxes, or perform military service. This is equivalent to poaching the corners of the country to strengthen themselves.

But you said that killing all these nobles and tyrants will ensure that the interests of the common people will not be infringed?
Such an approach will only cause chaos in the country, and the governance of the country needs these people. Wang Pu cannot directly manage tens of thousands of people by himself, and can only promote talented people to replace him.

What's more, if all these aristocratic powers are wiped out, it will block the upward passage of the lower-level personnel, which will only bring about greater chaos.

He has to use these people.

It took Wu Qi half a month to figure out the Huai country's system, and he keenly found the core of the Huai country's reform.

Wu Zi asked, "What is your ambition?"

Duke Huai said: "Peace the chaos in the world!"

Wu Zi paid homage and said: "You have the ambition to take over the world, and you have the opportunity to handle the world. I am willing to do the work of dogs and horses."

Duke Huai said, "Your Majesty, do you think the plan will come out?"

Wu Zi said: When recruiting heroes, thinking of talents is thirsty, if you can cross Jinghuai, join Qinrong in the west, caress Yiyue in the south, tie Yanzhao in the north, practice politics internally, and the world changes, then you can go to the Huaibei army, To the state of Qi.If the state of Qi falls, the army of Jingzhou can go north to Wei and Han, and the other way can go out of Qi to respond.If Han and Wei are defeated, they should occupy all the land in the Central Plains. If so, Yanzhao and Qin can easily win, so the world can be peaceful.

Duke Huai said: Good! ——"Historical Records Huai Family Biography of Huai Wucheng"
