After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 456 Heroes See the Same Thing

After Meng Di waited for Fan Li to finish speaking, he and Ji Ran looked at each other with smiles on their faces. His words were basically not very different from the strategy that the Han State would implement next. It can be seen from his vision that So Meng Di opened his mouth and said.

"Sure enough, the hero sees the same thing. What you said, Mr. Fan, coincides with what Han Guo is going to do next. Now Mr. Sun is planning this matter in Juchao. Kunihara, the son of Keiko."

"Now that Yizhou has been captured, and there are already some contacts with the tribes along the coast, after a while, we will be able to gain a foothold along the coast, and I have sent people to the land of Bashu to inquire about news."

Hearing this, Fan Li showed a look of surprise on his face, then shook his head with a smile.

"I'm just talking casually. Although this plan seems feasible, it is quite cumbersome to implement. It requires someone to be patient. Hanwang has already made such an arrangement, and I admire it."

"But the situation in the land of Bashu is complicated, and there are many tribes. If you want to get it, you must prepare in advance. Therefore, I want to invite the King of Han to come up with a sum of money and let me go directly to the land of Bashu."

"At home, I think I still have some business means. After arriving in Bashu, I can buy some industries, build a good relationship with the local people, and select some tribes from them to be called internal ying. In this way, the hope of taking Bashu will be greater."

After he finished speaking, Meng Di nodded without hesitation. He had no doubts about Fan Li's business ability. After all, in the original history, after Fan Li left the Yue Kingdom, he changed his name to Tao Zhugong and became a famous businessman in the early Warring States period.

However, the current situation in Bashu is indeed complicated. Basically, they are mainly tribes. If you want to conquer this place, it is not advisable to rely solely on force, although many spies have been sent.

But if there is a great talent like Fan Li to sit in the town, the effect will be better, so Meng Di nodded and said.

"If that's the case, Mr. Fan will wait for a few days, and then I will send someone to enter the land of Bashu with him, so as to ensure his safety."

After the discussion, Mengdi asked Yurang and Fan Li to introduce the situation in Bashu. At this time, Peng Ji, who was going to the Pengxi tribe, sent someone to send news that he had controlled the tribe.

Moreover, the state of Qin is in great internal turmoil. Shu Changchao is now in power, and Duke Mourning of Qin is nothing more than a decoration. Moreover, the state of Qin is in chaos, and the ultimate reason is because of the reform.

Qin Gonggong’s grandfather Qin Jiangong was very dissatisfied with the status quo of Qin State, so he began to order that officials and common people were allowed to carry swords. He wanted to use this method to boost Qin’s martial arts style. Nobles have the traditional privilege of carrying swords.

And then it was proposed that from now on, Qin State will collect taxes according to the actual number of fields. This is equivalent to saying that even if someone has opened up their own private fields, they have to pay taxes to the court, which aroused the dissatisfaction of those nobles.

As a result, the conflict between the nobles of the Qin State and the monarch became more and more serious. Therefore, after the death of Duke Jian of Qin, these nobles united against the royal power before the power of the national army had grown.

Therefore, the current situation has been formed. Qin's state affairs are in the hands of the elders, while the power of the monarch has been greatly weakened, so that the later Qin Huigong and now Qin Yugong have nothing to do at all.

From this point of view, now is the best time to advance to the Qin State, and then Mengdi sent Fan Li away from Shandao. After Boren arrived, he and Ji Ran returned to Huaicheng together. Along the way, he planned to reform the official system after returning.

After arriving in Huai City, Qi State has sent envoys to bring the princess of Qi State to marry Han State, but because this time she is not the official wife, so the movement is much smaller. After the wedding, Meng Di directly announced that the implementation of the new official system.

That is to adopt the law of the Sangong Jiuqing of the Han Dynasty. The Sangong is the prime minister, the imperial doctor and the Taiwei.

The prime minister is in charge of government affairs, the censor is responsible for supervising officials and assisting the prime minister in governing the country, and the Taiwei is in charge of military administration.

The remaining nine ministers are Feng Chang, Lang Zhong Ling, Wei Wei, Tai Pu, Ting Wei, Dian Ke, Zong Zheng, Zhi Su Nei Shi, and Shao Fu.

Now that Ji Ran is back, the position of Prime Minister is naturally his duty, Bai Gui is appointed as Doctor Yushi, Sun Wu is appointed as Taiwei, and the other nine yamen have their own arrangements, only the position of Zongzheng is temporarily vacant.

This set of official system was passed down from the Qin Dynasty in the later Han Dynasty, and it was quite strict. Mengdi used it directly, and the division of labor of each person was clearly defined, so that if something went wrong, it would be easy to pursue accountability.

At the same time, the officials below have a relative direction in doing things. It is no longer the same as before, and the eyebrows and beards are grasped, which greatly improves the ruling efficiency of the Han Dynasty. At the same time, the method of evaluating officials is announced.

Just as the Han Kingdom was carrying out reforms in full swing, the Jin Kingdom also began to implement reforms, but how to implement them, whether to imitate the Han Kingdom or follow its own path, became the focus of debate. After Zhao Yang's failure this time.

He was also deeply aware that the New Deal of the Han Kingdom had many merits. For example, when Shao Shizhou attacked Feiyi, the people of the Han Kingdom showed a firm will to resist.

As the state of Jin who has been in power for so many years in politics, Zhao Yang naturally knows that if he does not reform, he wants to compete with Han in the future, but it is just a dream.

After a period of careful consideration, the retainer Yin Duo first put forward his own views.

"The New Deal of the Han State focused on the people, and most of its strategies and plans were based on this. However, the Han State was not long established, and the domestic aristocratic power did not form a large force. The implementation of this law not only has little resistance, but also has significant effects."

"However, it is difficult to implement this method in Jin. The reason is very simple. It has been more than [-] years since the establishment of Zhou Dynasty. During this period, countless nobles have risen and fallen, intermarried with each other, and their influence has taken root in Jin."

"There are countless aristocrats in the state of Jin, and the relationships among them are intricate, and one hair can affect the whole body, so our state of Jin must protect the rights and interests of these nobles, but at the same time, we must also crack down on illegal things, so that the people of our state of Jin can live better. good."

"The so-called etiquette is known when the warehouse is full. In this way, if the Jin country encounters danger in the future, it can also achieve the effect of the whole country fighting against the enemy. Therefore, I believe that we should focus on military reform."
