After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 118 The Lu Country Hermit
After Yan He finished listening, his face showed approval, and he clapped his hands in praise.

"What Mengzi said is really good, everyone performs their own duties, but Mengzi's behavior is very different from other doctors. Don't you think that you are a little bit independent? Do you attract criticism from others?"

Hearing what he said, Mengdi laughed. He could understand why the other party asked such a question. People these days cherish their reputation very much, so they try their best to improve their reputation. But for him, practical is the best.

It seems that Yan He on the opposite side must also be a person of status, otherwise he would not ask this question seriously, so he said it directly without any hesitation.

"If you make some irrational actions because of some criticism, and let the people in your territory suffer some unreasonable disasters, does Mr. Yan think it is a good behavior to do so?"

Yan He frowned at these words, and after thinking for a while, a smile appeared on his face.

"There is one last question. I heard that Mengzi gave some of the chariots he captured in Ju to Yangzi, and sold some to the Tian clan of Qi. I wonder if there is such a thing?"

Although he didn't know why the other party asked these questions, Meng Di didn't hide it and admitted it directly.

"There is indeed such a thing. The population of Mengyi is too small now, but to support chariots, it will take up quite a lot of manpower, and it will cost too much. With Mengyi's current strength, Meng has no plans to train chariot soldiers. "

After Meng Di finished speaking, Yan He laughed out loud, and then said directly with cupped hands.

"Hearing Mengzi's introduction, I suddenly feel longing for Mengyi, so I want to be an official in Mengyi. I don't know if Mengzi is willing to take him in?"

Meng Di didn't expect this. Yan He on the opposite side only asked a few questions, and then began to recommend himself, which made him unable to react for a while, and then he smiled awkwardly and said hastily.

"Mr. Ji's help is a natural reason for Meng, so please come back to the mansion with me. Now Mengdi's big and small things are all done by Mr. Ji. When the time comes, Meng will introduce you to him, so that Mr. Yan can help you." Director of the exhibition."

Yan He just smiled and didn't say much when he heard the words, and returned with Meng Di.

When Ji Ran arrived and the two sides notified their names, Ji Ran's face changed slightly and he asked quickly.

"You are a hermit from Lu State, Yan He, Mr. Yan?"

This Yan He is also very famous in Lu State. Meng Di has only been here for a short time, so he has heard of this person, but he has no impression.

Once Duke Ai of Lu asked Yan He that he wanted to use Confucius to govern the country. Yan He immediately objected and said a lot of things. The country is an official.

Then he began to travel around the world. When he was in the National Guard, Wei Linggong knew his name and wanted him to teach the prince. Yan He was also a cautious person. dangerous.

So Yan He found Qu Boyu, a wise doctor in Weiguo. At that time, Qu Boyu reminded him, if you really want to teach the prince, you should pay attention and protect yourself carefully so that you don't get hurt.

If you try to persuade the prince with your own ingenuity, it will be like a praying mantis trying to stop a galloping carriage, and you can only end up in a tragic end. After hearing this, Yan He hurriedly left Weiguo.

Seeing that Ji Ran recognized him, Yan He smiled and said.

"After coming to Mengyi today, I immediately feel refreshed. Although the local people still have some color on their faces, they are full of energy, and they walk with wind, which is different from other places."

"So I'm curious and want to stay and do some things. I don't know what arrangements Mr. Ji has here? If there is no suitable thing for a while, that's just right. I can go around for a while."

At this moment, Meng Di patted his forehead and said with some embarrassment.

"It turned out to be a hermit from the State of Lu. Seeing my memory, although it sounds familiar, I didn't recognize Mr. at the first moment."

Yan He waved his hand indifferently, with a sincere look on his face.

"It doesn't matter whether I remember it or not. The important thing is that Mengyi has made me feel a sense of prosperity. This is the most important thing. In today's world, there are signs of chaos. It's ridiculous that many people are still uncomfortable. Know."

"The trend of the world, if it is divided for a long time, it must be united, and if it is united for a long time, it will be divided. This is the natural way. The so-called respect and etiquette are out of date. At this time, we should reorganize the mountains and rivers. After the world is settled, we will follow the trend according to the situation and then set the national law and etiquette. .”

As soon as Meng Di heard this, he knew why Yan He was no longer an official in the Lu State. I am afraid that not only his official position will be lost, but his reputation will also be damaged. You must know that the current princes don't care what they think in their hearts.

But on the bright side, it is all under the banner of Zhou Li. Since Zheng Guo's Zichan came to power, he cast a criminal book, announced the law to the whole country, and carried out system reforms in the team to restrain the interests of the nobles and maintain the power of the office. Enhanced the national power of Zheng State.

Such a successful reform has made many people see hope, because now many nobles are becoming more and more powerful, but the power of the national army is getting smaller and smaller. The farce of martingale cast punishment tripod.

In fact, Zhao Yang and the others also wanted to make some changes, but they were used by Fan Yang. This can be regarded as a precedent for reforms in various vassal states. Although the reform this time was not thorough, the effect was very obvious.

However, the Yan He in front of him has a more long-term vision, and now he is thinking about unifying the world. It can be said that if such an idea is placed in front of any monarch, they will have a headache, but Mengdi is different.

He originally planned to do the same, but now seeing Yan He's face was calm after he finished speaking, and his whole body was a little tense, obviously ready to be expelled, but Meng Di smiled.

"Mr. Yan is right, but this matter has to be done step by step. It is unrealistic to complete the national reunification in a short period of time. If Mr. Yan thinks Meng can help, feel free to tell me any suggestions."

Yan He was overjoyed when he heard this, and then bowed.

"I met my lord in Xia Yanhe. At present, Qi State is ambitious and wants to dominate. Jin State Fan Yang is very old, and the successor's wisdom is useless. He is just a conservative generation. Chu State is It hurts a lot."
