Call of Heroes: A History Only I Know

Chapter 111 A strong country begins with reform!Shocked King Liao of Wu! (seeking subscription)

When Wu Zixu heard the name Fan Li, his heart was shocked, and he was shocked and said: "Fan Zi wants to see me? Why? Did he say anything?"

The servant shook his head and said, "He just said he wanted to see you, but he didn't explain why."

Wu Zixu remembered that he had just introduced Zhuan Zhu to Young Master Guang, so he couldn't help frowning and paced back and forth in the room.

He turned his head and asked again: "Did you bring the soldiers?"

"There are no soldiers with me, only the accompanying servants." The servant replied.

"I didn't bring a soldier... why...why did you come to see me? Why did you come to see me at this time?"

Wu Zixu had a headache and didn't want to see Fan Zi at such a time.

"This Fan Zi is a celebrity around King Liao of Wu. He is one of the most powerful people in Wu Kingdom. He represents the will of King Liao Wu. When he came to see me at this time, he must have noticed something..." Wu Zixu had some guesses.

Su Che came to Wu country earlier than Wu Zixu.

Su Che was specially invited by Wu Wangliao.

However, Wu Zixu came to Wu country after several twists and turns. Compared with the powerful Su Che, Wu Zixu has hardly gained a firm foothold in Wu country.

earlier days.

After Su Che came to Wu Kingdom, he was worshiped by King Liao of Wu, he was regarded as a senior official, and he got several villages as fiefs, which were his territories.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the enfeoffment system was practiced, the princes were "half the sons of heaven", and the officials were "half princes".

The power of the Son of Heaven is the feudal princes, which is the founding of the country.

The power of the princes is feudal officials, which is to establish a family.

But the doctor can't entrust his "home" to other people.

That is to say, the doctor does not have the right to seal again.

The family of the doctor and the country of the princes are all self-governing.

The doctor has the right to manage the fiefs by himself, called "Qi Family", and the princes do not interfere.

The princes have the right to govern the feudal country by themselves, which is called "governing the country", and the emperor does not care.

However, apart from Qi family, the doctor is also obliged to assist the princes in governing the country.

The feudal lords are also obliged to settle the matter under the order of the emperor when turmoil occurs, which is called "Ping Tianxia".

The three classes are subcontracted layer by layer in an orderly manner. This is the system of enfeoffment, that is, feudalism, that is, "building the country with soil".

As for later, the princes and kings gradually broke away from the control of Zhou Tianzi and became kings and hegemons, such as the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemony.

They took the army outside the city of the emperor and conducted military exercises. The emperor was so frightened that he trembled and sent people to express condolences.

The class of senior officials also began to rise, and there were many phenomena in which senior officials controlled the politics of the vassal states.

For example, in the time of Confucius, the government of Lu State was dominated by the three nobles of the Ji family, and some even killed the king to stand on their own feet, such as the famous Cui Zhu who killed his king.

This is the uncontrollable development of the situation.

There is no eternal system in the world, and the greed of people's hearts can never be filled.

This is off topic.

When Su Che came to Wu country and was named a senior doctor, Wu Wangliao didn't know Su Che's true ability, so he was only given some clerical work, which was of an auxiliary nature, without any real power, and could not make any decisions.

Those cumbersome official documents, things that need a month to deal with, Su Che just took office, worked a little overtime, and dealt with them in one day.

When there was no official document delivered the next day, Su Che started to leave work early, play around, observe Wu's national conditions, and observe Wu's society and productivity.

Because he was absent all day, his subordinates told Wu Wangliao about it.

Wu Wangliao asked Su Che: "I asked you to be the doctor to handle these tasks. Why did you leave your post after only working for one day?"

Su Che asked strangely: "I have already processed all the official documents. I have nothing to do for the time being, so I just check people's conditions everywhere. Isn't that okay?"

Wu Wangliao was dumbfounded: "I heard people say that those official documents used to take at least a month to process, why did you process them in one day?"

Su Che smiled and said, "The people who handle the documents are different, so naturally the time is different. A mediocre person needs a month to process them, but for a person like me, only one day is enough."

After Wu Wangliao heard this, he still didn't believe it. He thought that Su Che was bragging, and ordered to check the official documents that Su Che had processed carefully to see if there were any mistakes.

Ever since, a large group of people took the mountains of bamboo slips and counting chips that Su Che had processed to see if there were any mistakes or omissions in Su Che's instructions.

Wu Wangliao looked at the mountain of bamboo slips, and picked up one casually to look at it. The content of this bamboo slip involved military expenses. The people below reported a figure through calculation. Su Che calculated it, typed it back, and gave instructions. For: the number is inaccurate, recalculate.

"Let's check this first." Wu Wangliao handed the bamboo slips to the people beside him.

The man fiddled with the calculations in a hurry, and after a long time of calculation, he gradually realized that there were indeed mistakes and omissions.

The person in charge of the calculation quickly got up and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the number is indeed wrong, and there is a difference of three thousand seven hundred and eighty six."

Su Che, who was sitting beside him looking at the bamboo slips, said without raising his head: "You made a mistake, you made a mistake, and you made a mistake again. The difference is three thousand seven hundred and twenty six."

Wu Wangliao was stunned, and then scolded: "Calculate again! Calculate carefully!"

"Yes..." The man hastily calculated again.

Wu Wangliao was not at ease, he pulled up the person next to him, and said, "You also count on this!"

Soon, both of them figured out the final result.

"It is indeed a shortfall of 760 taels."

"It's a shortfall of 760 taels."

Hearing this, Wu Wangliao's eyes widened in disbelief, he turned around and came to Su Che, and asked respectfully, "How did you calculate it so quickly? Can you still remember this number?"

"It's just a simple calculation. This is a small way, so it's not worth mentioning." Su Che shook his head and said.

"Your talents are too inferior to do such a job. I want to worship you as the Great Situ! Are you willing?" Wu Wangliao said a little excitedly.

"Extremely happy!" Su Che readily agreed.

The position of Da Situ is an official in charge of civil affairs, in charge of educating the people and administrative affairs. It can be said that it is a real official position with real power. Su Che is equivalent to stepping into the core of Wu's power.

Wu Wangliao handed over this position to Su Che, and Su Che did not disappoint Wu Wangliao's expectation.

Under his governance, the affairs of Wu State were orderly, and the national power was flourishing.

Su Che did such a good job, Wu Wangliao was overjoyed, and directly rewarded him with a small town as his fief, and the previous villages were also merged into it.

Because he was too lazy to change his clan, Su Che renamed the city Fan City, and Su Che's Fan clan was born here.

In just a short period of time, Su Che went from being an ordinary citizen to being worshiped by King Liao of Wu as a senior doctor, and then becoming a great situ. It was like riding a rocket, and he became a rare legend in the Wu country. Almost the entire Wu country heard of it. Said his reputation.

Naturally, Wu Zixu was no exception. He knew the strength of this ruthless man, so when he heard that Fan Zi was coming to see him, he was extremely nervous, for fear that his affairs would be exposed.

But, if you don't see this side, you can still see it. If you don't see it, then the problem will be even bigger.

In desperation, Wu Zixu and Su Che met.

We just met, and before we exchanged greetings, Su Che asked straight to the point: "Do you still want revenge?"

Hearing this, Wu Zixu was taken aback for a moment, then nodded without hesitation and said, "The revenge of killing one's father is irreconcilable! Naturally, revenge is necessary!"

"Then I'll help you, are you willing to follow me?" Su Che asked directly.

"You...can you help me?" Wu Zixu asked in disbelief.

"Why can't I help you?" Su Che asked back.

"You also advocate attacking Chu?" Wu Zixu asked.

"In the entire Wu Kingdom, who doesn't advocate attacking the Chu Kingdom? Because the dispute between the two mulberry-picking girls can cause war between the two countries. How can such conflicts be resolved?" Su Che shook his head.

"But..." Wu Zixu hesitated.

"Come and help me." Su Che waved his hand, and said directly: "I will avenge you and kill King Chu Ping. Even if he dies, I will dig out his body for you to whip!"

Not long ago, King Ping of Chu was ill and was getting old. It was exactly the same. Wu Zixu was eager for revenge. He frantically urged his son Guang to continue to attack Chu, and even introduced assassins to him.

"I'm willing to assist you!" After receiving Su Che's promise, Wu Zixu didn't hesitate anymore, and knelt down on the ground directly, making a big salute.

In this era, the power of commitment is very great, and many people will die to show their ambitions at every turn.

Insulting a person is a more serious act than killing him.

They will use death to prove their ambition.

So Wu Zixu believed in Su Che.

After Wu Zixu performed this great gift, he raised his head and looked at Su Che, he hesitated to speak for a while, as if he wanted to say something.

Su Che naturally saw his thoughts, shook his head and said, "You don't need to say, I already know some things."

As soon as these words came out, Wu Zixu's heart turned cold. He never expected that the fact that he introduced the assassin to Young Master Guang was really known?

Soon, Su Che took Wu Zixu to meet Wu Wangliao.

Seeing Wu Wangliao's Wu Zixu again, he was obviously a little guilty, he lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything.

King Liao of Wu was very enthusiastic. Of course, most of this enthusiasm came from Su Che. In just a few months, under Su Che's governance, the country of Wu has taken on a completely new look. scene.

For such a rare talent, Wu Wangliao naturally treated him very politely.

Su Che introduced to Wu Wangliao: "This is Wu Zixu. He has a good friend named Sun Wu, who is a rare military talent. I hope that the king can recruit Sun Wu, grant him military power, and worship him as a general."

After saying this, Wu Wangliao frowned, and Wu Zixu looked at Su Che in surprise. How did he know that Sun Wu was his friend?

After a while, Wu Wangliao nodded and said: "If Sun Wu is a great talent, I would like to worship him as a general!"

Su Che nodded, and continued: "Your Majesty, please look at this."

Su Che took out a small bag from his sleeve and handed it to Wu Wangliao.

"Salt?" Wu Wangliao opened the bag, looked at the snow-white salt, first smelled it, then tasted a little bit, and said in surprise, "The quality of this salt is really good!"

"This is the method of extracting salt that I invented." Su Che said.

As soon as these words came out, Wu Wangliao's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "How about the production of this salt?"

"The output is dozens or even hundreds of times that of the past, and it doesn't require too much labor." Su Che said with a smile.

"This..." Wu Wangliao's eyes widened, a little unbelievable: "Really?"

"Really." Su Che said.

"A hundred times the past, this is too unbelievable..." Wu Wangliao still couldn't believe it.

In the early years.

In the early spring and Autumn period, Guan Zhong, the prime minister of Qi State, implemented the policy of "official mountains and seas".

He nationalized the iron in the mountains and the salt in the sea and managed it by the government.

Since then, Qi's economic strength has grown day by day, and Duke Huan of Qi, assisted by Guan Zhong, has also become the head of the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons.

Other countries also followed Qi's example and implemented salt and iron monopoly.

But because of productivity, I haven't been able to make any money.

At this moment, Su Che took out the snow-white salt, and said that the output was a hundred times higher than before, which made Wu Wangliao see the possibility of Wu's rise.

He asked excitedly, "How did you do it?"

In this era, there are roughly four sources of salt, namely sea salt, lake salt, well salt, and mine salt.

Sea salt and lake salt are salts extracted from seas and lakes, well salt is processed from groundwater obtained by sinking wells, and mineral salt is processed from mining salt rock deposits.

The state of Wu is close to the sea, so the salt is naturally extracted from the sea.

In this era, sea salt was extracted not directly from seawater, but through underground brine.

Ground brine refers to concentrated seawater with a high salt content.

The underground brine resources in Qidi are very rich, and they have achieved their previous dominance, but Wudi does not have such rich brine resources.

But it doesn't matter, now Su Che has come up with a new way to get salt - beach drying method.

The so-called beach drying method is to dredge ditches, absorb sea tides, import them into storage tanks, and evaporate seawater by sunlight and wind.

When a certain concentration is reached, it is transferred to the evaporation pool to continue evaporation.

When the brine concentration and impurities meet certain conditions, it will be introduced into the crystallization pool to crystallize into salt.

Compared with the traditional method of mining brine and then boiling salt raw, the beach drying method is more convenient, and at the same time, the productivity will be stronger, but the early stage layout is a bit cumbersome and requires some labor.

After Su Che took up the position of chief situ, in addition to his job, he also set up a few salt farms for beach drying. After he got the results, he showed them to King Liao of Wu.

Wu Wangliao excitedly asked Su Che how did he do it?
Su Che just smiled and said, "Why doesn't your majesty believe what you see?"

Wu Wangliao nodded: "Then take me to see, let me see how you did it!"

Afterwards, King Liao of Wu took the guard army and mobilized his troops to the destination.

Soon, when Wu Wangliao came to the salt field and saw the layer of crystallized salt in the crystallization pool of the salt field with his own eyes, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, was overjoyed, and said excitedly: "These, so many, are all salt?"

"Yes, this is the beach drying method I invented. The seawater comes to the reservoir, evaporates the water through the sun and wind, then passes through the evaporation pond, and then reaches the crystallization pond. This is what happened." Su Che said slowly.

"This... this is too spectacular." Looking at the crystallized salt field in front of him, Wu Wangliao couldn't restrain his excitement at all. He reached out and took out some coarse salt crystals from the salt field and tasted it: "It's really salt!"

He stood up and said to Su Che, "But there seems to be a difference between this salt and the salt you gave me?"

"Yes." Su Che nodded, and said, "This is coarse salt, and that is the high-quality salt extracted through processing, so it is naturally different."

These coarse salts are actually edible. Now the vast majority of ordinary people, even some scholars, eat this kind of salt, and it is not even as good as this kind of salt. After all, there are still many poor people who can't afford salt at all.

But if it is processed, then you can get the refined salt in Su Che's hand. This kind of salt can be eaten for a long time, and it tastes better without any bitterness. Generally, only princes and high officials are qualified to eat this kind of salt for a long time.

Beside Su Che, Wu Zixu also watched this scene in shock.

He never dreamed that Su Che was so capable. Apart from governing the country, he also invented a new way to get salt.

This is not just salt, but the wealth of Wu Guo, which is the key to Wu Guo's rise!
"Your Majesty! This method of extracting salt must be strictly sealed, and it must not be spread, at least not in the past few years!" Wu Zixu said hastily.

"This is the truth, this is the truth." Wu Wangliao said with emotion: "With this method of taking salt, the state of Wu will surely rise, and I will definitely become the overlord of the world!"

In this era, the dream of princes and kings is to become the overlord, not the emperor.

"My lord, look at this again." Su Che brought over a pure white salt brick.

Different from that kind of mineral salt bricks, the salt bricks made of sea salt are as white as snow and very beautiful.

"Is this a salt brick?" Wu Wangliao couldn't help being taken aback when he looked at the things in front of him.

"After the salt is made into salt bricks like this, it will be easier to transport, and at the same time, it can be sold more expensively, and the essence of its commodity will even be changed into currency." Su Che said.

After Wu Wangliao heard this, he nodded half-understanding, but Wu Zixu who was beside him understood what Su Che wanted to do.

on the way back.

Su Che and Wu Zixu sat in Wu Wangliao's car.

Wu Zixu's mind was still on the big "salt field" he saw just now. He simply thought that Su Che brought Wu Wangliao out just to see that piece of salt field.

After all, with so much salt, once a large-scale excavation is made, the state of Wu will definitely become stronger!

Even Wu Wangliao was intoxicated by that piece of salt field, he was very excited.

At this moment, I can't help but imagine how much profit I will make by selling those salts on a large scale.

But Su Che didn't take the matter of Yantian to heart at all.

Now that you have seen it, there is no need to mention it again.

The carriage was shaking, and it was difficult for the sound to be heard outside, and the coachman was Wang Liao's confidant, so at this time, it was very appropriate to talk about some topics.

"My lord, I have some ideas and suggestions that I hope you can adopt." Su Che said seriously.

Upon hearing this, Wu Wangliao looked at Su Che and was taken aback for a moment.

He rarely saw such a serious expression on Su Che's face. Before that, even when he faced those Yantians, he didn't care. What could make him so serious?

Hearing this, Wu Zixu looked over subconsciously. He looked at Wu Wangliao, and then at Su Che.

The meaning of this expression is obvious. Can he listen to the content of the next conversation?

Su Che didn't care that Wu Zixu was beside him.

Although Wu Zixu is unscrupulous in order to get things done, he is also principled. Since he is loyal to him, he naturally employs people without doubting others.

"Please speak." Wu Wangliao said seriously.

I only heard Su Che say slowly:

"Your Majesty, in today's world, the feudal lords are strong while the emperor is weak, and the officials are strong while the feudal lords are weak."

"If Your Majesty wants Wu to truly become strong and become the overlord of the world, he must take back his rights and carry out drastic changes!"

"Otherwise you will be replaced by Doctor Qing sooner or later."

As soon as Su Che said this, Wu Wangliao's expression changed immediately. Ever since he took the position of Wu Wang, he knew that his competitor was his cousin's son Guang!

But the problem is, he has never had a thought about how to deal with Young Master Guang.

In this era, due to successive years of turmoil, it is inevitable that power will be transferred downward.

Since the Shiqing family has been in charge of state affairs for a long time, with the accumulation of their "merits", their family territory will also become larger and larger.

Over time, a situation in which "qing" is greater than "jun" has formed, and the monarch has gradually become a puppet.

If this kind of problem is so easy to solve, then there will be no situation where Doctor Qing usurped power!

Wu Zixu, who was at the side, had an even more subtle expression when he heard this, because not long ago, he had recommended an assassin to Prince Guang for the purpose of assassinating King Liao of Wu!
But now, Su Che directly brought this issue to the fore.

It is difficult to deal with the problem of Doctor Qing's tail being too big to lose.

This can also be solved?
At this moment Wu Wangliao quickly saluted and said solemnly: "Please teach me, sir!!!"

Su Che smiled slightly, and helped King Wu who was saluting to his feet.

Wu Wangliao is definitely not a faint king, but he is not the kind of wise and ruthless monarch, he is just a bit ordinary.

If such a monarch is placed in a peaceful age, there will be no problem, but if it is placed in the chaotic late Spring and Autumn Period of this era, it will be a big problem.

However, the greatest advantage of Wu Wangliao is that he is good at following others, knows how to accept other people's suggestions, and knows how to delegate power to capable people.

Su Che said slowly: "If you want to solve this situation, you must change, you must change the law, and use some unavoidable means to centralize power. If not, even if there are tens of thousands of acres of salt fields, you will never be the overlord .”

Only reform, only reform can strengthen the country!

Su Che, who was at the turning point of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, put forward the theory of reform in advance.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, due to the enfeoffment system, rights were inevitably gradually shifted downwards, which was a defect of this system.

But the Warring States period was different. The signs of the Warring States period and the Spring and Autumn Period were that all the vassal states implemented changes one after another in order to strengthen their monarchy.

Wei has Li Kui, Qi has Zou Ji, Chu has Wu Qi, Han has Shen Buhai, Qin has Shang Yang, Zhao has Fei Yi, and Yan has Le Yi.

Although the measures of change are different, there are only two words at the core of the change: centralization.

The essence of the method is to strengthen the monarchy by weakening the power of the family officials and abolishing the "Shiqing Shilu" system.

The most common way is to use foreign "Keqing" to suppress the "Shiqing" of the country.

At the end of the Spring and Autumn period, before the Warring States period, Su Che proposed his own reform.

Changes will naturally bleed, and naturally there will be a lot of heads!Change without bloodshed is definitely not change, but peaceful evolution!

Therefore, Su Che told Wu Wangliao to be mentally prepared. In order for Wu to become stronger, he had to hold back the situation where the heads were rolling!

King Liao of Wu was able to become a vassal, so he naturally had such courage and determination, and he would never let the reform stop because of his soft-heartedness!

now.

Wu Wangliao's eyes widened. Su Che's next words were full of words, which shocked him to the extreme. The former him could not have imagined that he could do such a thing... What an audacity this is No!
In the past few months, while completing his own work, Su Che conducted various investigations in Wudi, in order to formulate the content of his own reform.

He collected the strengths of the reforms of the Seven Kingdoms and formulated reform methods suitable for the Wu Kingdom.

The content of this series of reforms centered on the rule of law, governed the country according to law, and at the same time rectified the administration of officials on a large scale to strengthen the centralized rule of the monarchy.

The core of the reform is the need for 'money' and 'military power'!
If there are no these two words, then the theory of reform is like a castle in the air!

And these two important things have been solved by Su Che.

The salt he produced can earn a lot of money through the beach drying method, and Sun Wu, who was introduced by Wu Zixu, will train a strong army for King Liao of Wu!
As long as there is enough money and enough troops, there will be room for the reform!

As for the success of the reform, will Su Che's end be the same as that of Shang Yang, becoming a "five equal Shang Yang"?
But Su Che didn't care, it's just a simulation, as long as the big things are done, the big things are done, and his theory goes a step further, so why die?

Just die!

Wu Zixu was originally eager for revenge, but after hearing about Su Che's reform, he suddenly became less eager.

He's a smart guy, a terrific smart guy.

After listening to Su Che's narration of the reform, he deeply realized how great the reform was for the feudal states.

Once Wu Guo really succeeds in the reform, then Wu Guo will definitely become another overlord in the Spring and Autumn Period. This is beyond doubt.

And Chu State, the former overlord, has already set in the west, and the country is in turmoil, and it is no longer the original Chu State.

As long as Wu's reform is successful, it will only be a matter of time before Chu is destroyed!

Wu Zixu suddenly looked forward to what the state of Wu would look like after the successful reform?
After setting the reform plan, although Wu Wangliao was looking forward to it, he was not in a hurry because he also understood that the time had not yet come!

When Wu Wangliao returned to the capital, he rewarded Su Che again, letting him supervise all the affairs of salt making and selling.

Su Che directly became the boss of the salt and iron department by airborne. The people in the original department were dissatisfied, but Su Che quickly subdued them with both kindness and force.

at the same time.

Sun Wu finally came to the state of Wu.

Because it was introduced by Su Che and recommended by Wu Zixu.

So when Sun Wu came to Wu, Su Che and Wu Zixu met Sun Wu together.

Sun Wu, one of the big men in the Spring and Autumn Period, wrote the masterpiece "Sun Tzu's Art of War". He is called "the sage of military strategists", "the master of a hundred generations of military strategists" and "the originator of Oriental military science".

Such a big brother, at this point in time, has not yet emerged. He has an ambition, waiting to be realized. Because of the internal turmoil in Qi, he came to the southern state of Wu and devoted himself to studying the art of war.

Now he was recommended by Wu Zixu and Su Che, which made him very happy, so he followed them to meet Wu Wangliao.

King Liao of Wu received Sun Wu in person.

Sun Wu took the thirteen articles on the art of war written by himself and presented it to the king of Wu to watch.

Wu Wangliao carefully read the thirteen chapters of the Art of War, and couldn't help frowning. He immediately realized that this person was extraordinary, and then he asked a few more questions.

Sun Tzu directly expressed his opinion: "Soldiers are deceitful!"

Wu Wangliao's eyes widened, and he continued to ask, "Why?"

Then Sun Tzu expounded his military views.

Hearing these words, Wu Wangliao couldn't help but widen his eyes, and his whole spirit was greatly shocked!
This kind of impact is no less than Su Che's previous method of transformation.

In this era, the concept of "being polite while killing people" is the mainstream on the battlefield.

At this moment, Sun Wu's sentence "Soldiers are deceitful!" It can be regarded as announcing the death of the concept of theocracy and etiquette in the Chinese war!
During the Spring and Autumn Period, the old etiquette coexisted with "ritual collapse and music destruction". On the battlefield, there are still many etiquettes.

This leads to a very interesting situation, it is obviously a war of life and death, and the two sides seem to be playing house.

For example, when the army travels through famous mountains and rivers and Tianzi City, it must salute, otherwise it will be considered "rude", and "rude" is often considered a precursor to defeat.

Before the official battle, the two warring parties also have to swear and reward teachers.

During the battle, the commander must also salute when he sees the monarch of the enemy country.

During the Battle of Yanling, Quezhi, one of the commanders of the Jin State, saluted the King of Chu, and the King of Chu also returned the salute.

In the battlefield, etiquette is the main theme, and rudeness will be despised, and if you lose the battle, you will be despised as: Is it not normal for a disrespectful person to lose the battle?

Under such a big environment, Sun Wu's sentence "Soldiers are deceitful!" directly misleads the war painting style of the entire land of China!

From then on, war is just war without any other things mixed in.

This is also true.

After Wu Wangliao heard Sun Wu's explanation, he was shocked.

But after the shock, he also keenly realized that only by doing this will he become stronger!To win!

After some conversation, Wu Wangliao appointed Sun Wu as a general as a guest.

After Sun Wu thanked Su Che and Wu Zixu, he began to train soldiers for King Liao of Wu.

At the same time, Su Che also started to make preliminary changes in the country.

It is naturally impossible to attack the Qing and doctor classes as soon as they come up.

Su Che first started on the economic aspect and carried out the land reform.

Su Che first taught agriculture and put forward the idea of ​​"teaching as best as possible". The core idea is to strengthen agricultural regulation and improve farmers' production efficiency.

Su Che promulgated a decree to reward farming and ensure a sufficient agricultural population.

Su Che also summoned the scholar-official class and invited people from the farming family to give lectures on farming science to the common people.

For example, how to manage farm tools, how to reclaim wasteland, how to choose seeds, how to cultivate intensively and other agricultural knowledge.

These basic common sense are very lacking in this era.

Popularizing agricultural common sense has fundamentally improved farmers' production efficiency, but that alone is not enough.

The farmers worked hard for a year to cultivate the rice. After the rice matured, they sold it in the market. They wanted to sell it for a good price, but found that the price of the grain was so low that they couldn't sell it for much.

However, when ordinary people went to the market to buy grain and rice, they found that the prices had soared and they couldn't afford it at all.

Here, it was those grain merchants who played tricks in the middle, and Su Che asked King Wu to issue an order to promulgate relevant decrees to prohibit these opportunistic behaviors.

As the lower-level peasants can eat enough and wear warmth, life will gradually improve, so that the hearts of the people will be available.

And Sun Wu's training progress has reached a certain level, he has successfully trained a strong army!
The hearts of the people and the army are available, and a lot of money has been made from selling sea salt. In this way, when the time is ripe, Su Che will directly carry out the next step of reform!

First cancel some people's hereditary titles, and all the soldiers and civilians will be rewarded for their merits. Only those who have meritorious service will be rewarded, and the mediocre people will all be abandoned.

Then pass the special assessment and adopt the truly talented people!Not those philistines who inherit through heredity!
Such reforms are undoubtedly very bold in this era.

As soon as the reform came out, there was an uproar in the Wu Kingdom!
All of a sudden, people's hearts fluttered, and the officials were very dissatisfied with King Wu's reforms, thinking that this "violated the etiquette and law, and was a treasonous act."

Countless opinions flowed towards the capital like snowflakes, and everyone asked King Wu to stop this kind of reform and let him hand over the chief culprit of the reform——Fan Li!
Inside the city of Young Master Guang.

As Wu's reform progressed, Prince Guang naturally received the news.

He sneered: "The bureaucrats are going against the grain, and the whole country is boiling. In this way, the hearts of the people will be inclined to me, and everyone will support me to become the new King of Wu!"

"This is my chance! This is my perfect opportunity!"

"Haha, I originally wanted to assassinate him and replace him, but I didn't expect such a good opportunity to come!"

"Liao, you are really young, to listen to that Fan Li's slander and make such a stupid move!"

"This is God helping me too!!!"

As the most powerful official in Wu, he has been envious of King Wu's position for a long time, and he can't wait to replace him!
"However... don't be in a hurry now, it's not yet time, just wait!" Young Master Guang sneered.

"Just wait a little longer, when everyone can't bear it, it will be the time when people's hearts are available!!"

"At that time, this country of Wu will be in my pocket!"

Young Master Guang is not a short-sighted person, on the contrary, he is a wise master with a very vicious vision, he knows when to strike and when to be patient.

At this moment, the time is not yet ripe, so you can't make a move, continue to wait, when the people's grievances are boiling, it will be the time for him to win the Wu Kingdom!
At that time, his young master Guang will respond to everyone!
There is no doubt that Young Master Guang's judgment is accurate.

Changes without bloodshed are destined to be unsettled, but once bloodshed, it will definitely cause a backlash!
but……

Why doesn't Su Che understand this point? ?

This morning.

The sky is bright.

Young Master Guang is sleeping soundly on the bed with his beauty in his arms. He has been very excited recently, and he will ascend the throne soon. When he thinks about this, he can't calm down at all, and it's even harder to fall asleep.

So basically you have to fight for a long time every day before you can fall asleep.

Go to bed late and get up early naturally.

While Young Master Guang was sleeping, a servant's panicked voice came from outside the door: "It's bad, something is wrong, Young Master, get up quickly!!!"

"Huh?" Young Master Guang opened his eyes, heard the panic shouting, pushed away the beauty beside him, walked outside, and asked, "What happened?"

"King Wu's men are attacking!!" the servant said hastily.

As soon as these words came out, Young Master Guang was shocked: "How is it possible?!"

"They are already coming here, you run quickly!!" The servant said anxiously.

"This... This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Young Master Guang couldn't believe it.

But soon, with the fall of the city, all the troops fell into the hands of Su Che, and it was useless even if Young Master Guang didn't believe him.

"Young Master, long time no see." Su Che smiled and saluted Young Master Guang.

"How dare you do anything to me! Do you know who I am? I am the most honorable doctor in the Wu Kingdom! You are a guest, how dare you do anything to me!!" Seeing that the situation is over, the young master was a little out of breath for a while. shouted.

Naturally, he knew the person in front of him, Fan Li who had recently turned Wu Kingdom upside down! !

Su Che smiled slightly, and said: "I am ordered by my king to carry out reforms."

After a pause, Su Che pointed to Young Master Guang and said, "Since the reform, it will naturally start with you, the leader of Doctor Wu Guoqing!"

"From today on, the young master has no privileges, no land, no treasury, and can only be a leisurely young master."

"Please come back with me, son."

As soon as these words came out, Young Master Guang's face was extremely ugly. He stared at Su Che firmly, and said viciously: "You have separated the princes and the doctor, you are against the world, you will die a bad death!"

"I'll take a step first and wait for you to come over!"

Saying so, Young Master Guang directly pulled out the long sword from his waist and committed suicide directly.

Seeing this scene, Su Che couldn't help frowning.

As soon as Young Master Guang died, the servants around him committed suicide one after another.

Even Zhuan Zhu is the same.

Su Che also wanted to persuade: "You followed Mr. Guang because of Wu Zixu's introduction. Now that Mr. Guang is dead, you might as well join me..."

Zhuan Zhu directly refused: "Young Master Guang is my lord. Since the lord is dead, if I, as a subject, switch to your sect, I will become a joke of the world!"

Saying this, Zhuan Zhu drew his sword and slayed himself, and went to die calmly!

"It's a pity that one of the four major assassins just died like this." Su Che shook his head, feeling a little regretful. He had expected such a situation a long time ago, and people in this era are so stubborn.

After Su Che captured the city of Young Master Guang in a surprise attack, on the other side, Wu Zixu and Sun Wu each led troops to raid the cities of the other two Young Masters.

King Liao of Wu had three brothers, Prince Guang, Jianyu, and Zhuyong.

The three of them have their own fiefs and cities in Wu, as well as their own army and soldiers.

Because it was a sudden attack, it was easily taken down.

Following the capture of these three young masters, the entire Wu Kingdom was shocked!
Everyone has seen Wu Wangliao's determination to change!

Wu Guo, the sky has changed!
