After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 364
And Meng Di showed a disdainful smile on his face, shook his head lightly, and said with a chuckle.

"The people of Zheng State turned to Jin State for help in this situation, just to test the other party's attitude, and they are now willing to agree to give up Chen County, which shows that they don't care about these populations at all."

"Anyway, Zheng Guo's army has not suffered too much loss now. According to the temper of the Zheng Guo people, after suffering a loss from Cao Guo this time, their next target is likely to be Xu Guo. Anyway, Zheng Guo will try his best Annex these small vassal states."

"Obviously they have sensed that the troubled times are coming, so they want to take advantage of this opportunity to rise up, but their thinking is a bit too simple. To put it bluntly, how can Zhao Jianzi of the Jin Kingdom make the Zheng Kingdom bigger?"

"There is only one overlord in the Central Plains. Jin and Qi have been fighting for so many years. No one wants to see another powerful vassal state. We just intervened in the opportunity of Qi to attack Jin by chance. to rise."

"If this opportunity is missed, it will not be easy even for the Han Kingdom to grow up. The people of Zheng Guo are really planning. If they really hand over Chen County, then we will rest here for a while and take it away by the way. Huge population."

"The most important thing is to publicize the policies of our Han State locally. I not only want the population of Zheng State, but also shake the foundation of Zheng State's rule. At the same time, I want everyone in the world to know what Han State is like. .”

Meng Di naturally knew that under the rule of the Qin State, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang first set off an uprising, and then the mighty Qin Dynasty turned into a blaze of flames in an instant, making this powerful empire within a short period of time. fall apart.

In the end, the Han Dynasty was established, so there is a reason why Mengdi attached great importance to these common people. Only with their full support, his Han Kingdom will be more stable.

Moreover, the State of Zheng is in the Central Plains, and there are businessmen in the southeast and northwest, passing by since then. As long as the South Korean policy can be publicized during this period of time, it will be able to influence most people.

This subtle influence may not have much effect in a short period of time, but after a long time, as the life of these common people becomes more and more difficult, they will definitely place their hopes on the Han Kingdom.

Because the troubled times have come, the era of various vassal states attacking each other has slowly begun. With the collapse of the hegemony, each vassal state began to fight for its own interests, and it was life and death.

Under such circumstances, the common people are the first to suffer. They not only have to bear the taxes and food of the entire empire, but also continue to participate in battles to seek greater benefits for their own monarchs and nobles.

These people have nothing in their hands, but they are carrying the heaviest burden. Over time, their lives must be extremely difficult. This is why later, when Shang Yang reformed, he wanted to establish the prestige of the government through rewards for erecting trees. .

The reason is very simple, it is because the level of trust of these common people in the government has dropped to an extremely low level, if they cannot win the trust of the people, then the orders issued by the government will be a dead letter, and no one is willing to execute them.

Responsibilities and obligations are relative. When ordinary people are squeezed to the point where they cannot survive, the most they think about is where they will live tomorrow, and they don't care about the survival of the entire country at all.

Most of the nobles who are really clamoring to defend their homes and the country all day long, of course, there are also people who really love their homeland, but more people are for the benefit of their own families.

Under such circumstances, Han's uniqueness will have a fatal attraction to these common people.

So when Chen He heard this, he immediately understood what Meng Di meant, and spoke in admiration.

"If this matter is really successful, maybe the people who can't survive in various vassal states will flee to the Han State, especially the small vassal states like Cao State. It is difficult for them to protect themselves."

"However, doing so will be of some benefit to our Han country, but it will also arouse the vigilance of other vassal states, and it will also give Jin the opportunity to unite with them against our Han country, creating a hostile trend."

"If the situation really comes to this point at that time, the pressure on our Han country will become great, and the current Wu country has become aggressive. I'm afraid it won't be long before they take over a large area of ​​​​the Chu country."

"Turning around to Wu State, the target will be placed on Han State again, because now Han State has become the most affluent place in the whole world, so we have to guard against it."

At this moment, Meng Di stood up slowly, showing a domineering aura on his body, he said calmly.

"What should come will always come. I'm afraid it will be useless. Although Chu State is a little weak now, its strength is still there. If you want to weaken Chu State to a certain extent, it will be difficult to do it in a short time."

"Although Zhao Jianzi of the Jin State has carried out reforms, Wei Lu and Han Buxin are not capable enough to help him. To put it bluntly, the Jin State is now completely relying on Zhao Jianzi for support."

"But our country of Han is completely different. After so many years of operation, we have trained a lot of officials, and most of them are from poor backgrounds, and their behavior is completely different from those nobles."

"This is also the capital for the rise of our Han country. In the same period of time, our Han country will develop faster than Jin. After the war between Wu and Chu is over, our Han country basically has absolute power. strength."

"The most important thing is that we can't give Jin more time to develop. Otherwise, we won't allow Qi to attack Yan at this time. Qi will rush ahead, and Han will help us."

"In this way, most of Jin's energy can be restrained, which is equivalent to giving us time to destroy Wu. As long as Wu is captured in the future, we will unite with Qi to launch an attack on Jin, and then force Jin to follow us. peace talk."

"At that time, the whole situation will be more beneficial to us, so we are planning for the future by publicizing our policies now, so there is nothing to worry about. More importantly, Wu Guo still has a potential opponent, that is, Yue country."

At the mention of crossing, Chen He frowned slightly, as if thinking of something.
