Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 362
"Your Majesty Yingming!"

Qing Ji's treatment of the disabled can be said to be benevolent.

Disability is not terrible, what is terrible is that the disabled give up on themselves!
Some normal people with sound limbs are not even as good as disabled people!
Why?

Because of the disabled, they are physically and mentally strong. Even though they are physically disabled, they have endured the cynicism of others and have difficulty in moving, but they still have not lost the courage to live.

However, there are some normal people who are world-weary and give up on themselves!
"The widow decided to set up a health care department, which is responsible for coordinating and accepting the disabled, and at the same time teaching them how to make a living."

"Make the blind become musicians, enable those with few feet and hands to farm, enable the deaf and dumb to read and write, and enable the lunatics, idiots and paralyzed people to be cared for, treated and improved."

Qingji's proposal was immediately approved by several ministers.

"King Rende!"

You must know that in the ancient West, people regarded all kinds of disabled people as "devil haunted" and "God's punishment". Disabled people could be harmed again at will. Their situation was very miserable, and their right to survival was not guaranteed.

In comparison, the ancient China's attitude towards the disabled was relatively civilized.

Some of them sometimes get some relief, help and sympathy.

In the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties, specific policies for tax reduction and exemption for the disabled have been proposed, such as: to protect the interest of the six to support the people, one is the salesman, the other is the old-age care, the third is the poverty alleviation, the fourth is the poor, and the fifth is leniency. Illness, the sixth is Anfu.

The so-called "eight support", except for "narrow disease" which has no direct relationship with the disabled, others such as "pension", "rejuvenate the poor" and "comfort the poor" have no certain indirect relationship with the life of the disabled. Relationship.

And those policies are not just ideas.

At that time, local officials such as Da Situ and Xiangshi could be assigned "four comparisons to distinguish the old and the young and the sick"——

Concretely carry out matters related to the identification of the disabled, tax reduction and exemption for the disabled, and arrangements for the life of the disabled.

Following the thoughts of the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties, the vassal powers that did not exist in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods also pioneered the practice of asking and curing diseases during the reform.

The so-called "nurturing the disease" means "adopting and raising the disabled, and feeding them with food and clothing for officials".

It is exactly the same as what Confucius put forward later.

During the Qin, Han, Eight Kingdoms, and Northern and Southern Dynasties, some enlightened emperors even sent ministers to give preferential treatment to the disabled.

In order to enable the implementation of preferential treatment for the disabled, relief agencies of the same scale have been established in successive dynasties.

To save is to save the poor!
Qingji understands that.

Therefore, even if the state of Wu is short of expenses to support the disabled, Qingji also hopes that we can find our own way of earning a living, so we must endure hunger and not be frozen to death in winter.

……

Before the seven ministers, Confucius, Sun Wu, Fan Li, and Wu Zixu left, only Qingji, father and son were left in the small court.

"Xi'er, kneel down!"

"Father..."

"The widow let him kneel!"

Wu Xi, who was reprimanded by Qing Ji again, was so frightened that he shivered, and quickly "plopped" and knelt behind Qing Ji's face.

"Do you know what's wrong with you?"

Hearing this, Young Master Xi held his head high, rolled his eyes a few times, and immediately kowtowed: "Please forgive me, my father! I know I was wrong!"

"Your minister is just a child, you should talk about state affairs indiscriminately!"

"Wrong! Small mistake, very wrong!"

Qingji stared at Wu Xi who was kneeling on his feet with a cold face, and said in a deep voice, "I let him and Hong'er listen to the government, but I have no intention of letting seven of him participate in the administration of state affairs. Why do you discuss state affairs?"

"It seems that you are still obsessed with enlightenment..."

"Father!"

At that time, the eldest son Wu Hong stood up, knelt down with the seventh younger brother Wu Xi, bowed to Qingji and said, "Brother Xi is young and wise, saying that the government of the disabled is very strict."

"Now brother Xi knows that he made a mistake, so he will definitely correct it, and please forgive me, father!"

"Father, my son knows his mistake!"

Wu Xi hurriedly prostrated himself on the ground.

"Knowledge at a young age?"

Qingji is really angry and funny.

As the saying goes, eight years old is old, Wu Xi is now one year old, with such a naughty nature and such a vicious heart, if he corrects it in time, will he be okay a few days ago?
The child is still old, so it's good to have a beating?
Yes!
Just a beating, and there is no way for Wu Xizhen to have a long memory.

Unexpectedly, Qingji had already planned to exile the stubborn Wu Xi to the common people for a few years!
If Wu Xi can still change his mind, Qing Ji would care if he never gave birth to that son!
Anyway, Qingji doesn't have more than a dozen sons, but only one son Xi is missing!
……

Before leaving Beiliang, Qingji's patrol team went all the way north again, crossed the Huai River, and met with the four vassal states of Teng, Xue, Zhu, Ju, Tan, Zhongwu, Cai, and Xu in Zhongwu Huifang. Before that, I went west and south again.

When passing by Juchao, Qingji, who was condolences to the local officials and people, suddenly received a delayed report.

The son of Chu State won thousands of soldiers and horses to raid the Bayi of Wu State. He won a small victory and broke the Bayi. He took a step back to conquer Qianyi and defeated the Wu army.

Qingji, who learned of the battle report, immediately summoned Sun Wu, Fan Li, and Wu Zixu, eight confidants, to the side hall in Juchao to discuss matters.

The side hall has been heavily guarded for seven weeks, with one post at seven steps and one sentry at ten steps. There are no orders to celebrate Jiji, and no one is allowed to enter or leave.

Sun Wu and Fan Li, who learned about the battle report, exchanged glances with smiles in their eyes.

But Wu Zixu, who knew nothing about it, knelt down towards Qingji in horror and said, "Xiao Wang, I am innocent!"

"Why are you innocent?"

"Back then, I was grateful for the kindness of Prince Jian of Chu, and fled to Wu with his son Sheng. He cultivated it carefully and gave him care. He never imagined that this son would be so rebellious and dare to assassinate the king."

"Now you are still wielding your master to seize the eighth and latent. I know that I have committed a serious crime. I ask Xiao Wang to come down!"

After saying that, Wu Zixu knocked his head to the ground again.

"Zixu, you are guilty. Please."

Immediately, Qingji told Wu Zixu the ins and outs of the matter.

Regarding the matter of the son Sheng assassinating the king and killing the king, Qingji was behind the scenes and fueled the flames.

It was all for the sake of winning the trust of the Chu people.

In fact, Xiong Sheng did it!

Prince Sheng, who was named Ying's husband, took advantage of Wu Zixu's replacement and abolished the frontier army. He secretly asked the king of Chu, Xiong Zhen, to send troops to raid Bayi and Qianyi in Wu, in order to obtain two important towns. Military town.

Before getting Xiong Zhen's permission, Young Master Sheng returned with thousands of troops and attacked Bayi and Qianyi seemingly unexpectedly.

And all of that, the hands in front of the screen are celebrations!

Qingji is willing to give up two important border towns.

Therefore, Xiong Zidan led his army to fight a fake battle with Gongzi Sheng outside, so that Gongzi Sheng could achieve smaller results.

It is conceivable that Chu State, which has fought against Wu State for many years and has been defeated repeatedly, must have been jubilant before achieving such a small victory.

The king of Chu will certainly reward generously for the little hero, son Sheng.
