Wei Yang laughed: "After listening to Du Sikong's words, Yang was relieved. Wei Yang's reforms were to enrich the people and strengthen the country, and the profit was more than a thousand times. Today, the old Qin used my method to recover Hexi ten years later. Even if he could not conquer the world within fifty years, he would become a generation of overlords. Yang dared to issue a military order in front of the king. If nothing happened, he would be killed. Does anyone dare to bet with Yang?"

This is a madman... Old Qin shook his head all over the court. He was too despicable to bet on his head. Who would bet on you for nothing?

Old Ganlong was so angry that his whole body trembled: "Your Majesty, this is a false man, so you must not let him change the law of his ancestors!"

Bai Dong shook his head secretly. Uncle Gan was actually right. Wei Yang was a big fool. If you want to do such a big fool, you have to be a good fool. When you meet a gentleman who acts cautiously, you will probably not be able to do anything in ten or a hundred years. Isn’t Columbus a big fool? There is also the Kang Nanhai who grafted the gorilla testicles in later generations. Isn’t he who deceived many people in the future. But even such a fool can do things, and a gentleman who is gentle, respectful, frugal and kind can’t do it.

"I'm going to discuss it!"

"This son is crazy and wants to disrupt Lao Qin! The reforms he has carried out are all actions to harm the country. How can the ancestors' laws be moved by rashly? I hope that the king will observe this villain and expel him!"

Not to mention whether the abolition of the well field will arouse fierce opposition from the old aristocratic group and thus cause unstability from Lao Qin. This alone suppresses business will violate the interests of many people, not to mention the method of continuation. This is the source of cruel and poisonous harm to the people. The more loyal a gentleman is, the more fiercely he has to oppose it.

"snort!"

Ying Quliang was furious and ignored the requests of all officials. He turned to Bai Dong and said, "Bai Zuogeng, you are my brother who has been molten blood. If you have made great contributions, you have been the best for ten years. Now all officials say that Wei Yang should be chased, but I want to hear your opinion. It is necessary to be honest and not let me down..."

The meaning of this sentence is very obvious. Boy, don’t forget what you said in Baijiazhuang. Now it’s time to fulfill your promise.

"After the emperor asks his ministers to speak out, then the ministers will speak out directly. The ancestors' methods must not be changed easily..."

"Heianro, you!"

In desperation, Ying Quliang actually forgot that he was in the court, but not in Baijiazhuang, and even called Bai Dong's nickname. Wei Yang's face changed drastically. His biggest reliance was the support of Ying Quliang and Bai Dong; especially the latter, who once asked Jing Jian to transfer the story of the tortoise and hare race, it was obvious that he was very supportive of himself. At the critical moment, Bai Dong actually vented his anger with the old ministers, which was something he had unexpected.

"I haven't finished speaking yet... I have heard that before the Five Emperors, people came from apes and later became their tribes. They had etiquette culture, and culture was limited to stone swords and axes, and etiquette was tied to women..."

"Etiquette is for women?"

This is really a strange story in the world. Not to mention the ministers such as Lao Gan Long, even Ying Quliang and Wei Yang stared at him.

"Yes. It is precisely related to women. Because women have the ability to reproduce and reproduce, they have the highest status in the tribe. Just like the queen in the nest, all etiquette rules will naturally be established around her. However, as the human race gradually expanded, the productivity and combat ability gradually became more important, so the highest status in the tribe gradually became men, and women began to become vassals... By the time of Huangdi, there were already customs in the country. Although Yao, Shun, Xia and Shang did not change, it was not possible to govern the country by the customs. Only when the customs of Zhou Gong were established, there was a saying of etiquette. At this time, etiquette was law, and law was ritual. Lord, colleagues, it can be seen that the etiquette today is not unchanged. Even when the ancestors were in power, they also had the act of opening the first rent and abolishing the burial of their ancestors. Could it be that the ancestors did not follow the laws of their ancestors? Now, it is not difficult for Wei Yang to understand that the laws of their ancestors are not understood."

"Hahahahahahahahaha! Well said, well said! Bai Zuo Geng's words are exactly what I mean! Master, what else do you have to say?"

Ying Quliang laughed. After all, he had to be his own brother. Look at the debate between Heianlang, and he directly talked about the origin of human beings... But is this man real? Is this ape true? Isn't he a relative of a monkey? What if he doesn't matter, since Heianlang said that, it must be right!

Old Gan Long pulled Bai Dong over and lowered his voice and cursed: "It's outrageous! Are you crazy? People have transformed from a monkey? In ancient times, women had the highest status? I am considered to be well-read in poetry and books, so why have you never heard of this? You kid is talking nonsense and actually helping Wei Yang. Is Uncle Gan going to piss off to death?"

"Your will have a firm mind to reform. Can't you see that the general situation is difficult to stop? Yes, Wei Yang is a fool, but it is this kind of fool that can do things that I and I cannot do. Putting aside other things, just a complete abolishing of the well-field system is worthy of our support. Uncle and the ancestors implemented the initial rent of wheat back then. Didn't it be that the bad things of the well-field field, low production, and stealing taxes? This is the great harm to the country!"

"No, uncle can't tell me? You are extremely smart. Don't you know that to destroy a big tree, you should start from its periphery. The best way to wait until its roots gradually die? If you uproot it directly like Wei Yang, do you know how much 'mud' will be brought out!"

"So what if I bring out the soil? Now Lao Qin is no longer as good as before. How long will it take for those old nobles? Meng Xibai and Zhang families have been rampant for too long. The king will no longer be patient and wait like the ancestors. Could it be that uncle can't see it? So my nephew thought that Wei Yang came in time, and the king must be ready. The reform is already on the string and has to be fired. Since that's the case, it's better to support him now and guide him slowly in the future..."

"Okay, you always make sense... Uncle knows that Wei Yang was recommended to the emperor, so you have to watch him! Old Qin needs reform, everyone understands this principle. Is Wei Yang smart? However, the Legalists are naturally cruel and easy to kill, and if they want to reform, countless people will fall to the ground. If you can't watch him, uncle is afraid that you will have nightmares in the future!"

"Don't worry, uncle, I'll take care of it..."

Bai Dong was sweating coldly when Gan Long heard this last sentence. It turned out that this was the fundamental reason why Gan Long and his friends strongly opposed Wei Yang's reforms. As for the ancestors' laws, they were just excuses. To put it bluntly, what these old ministers feared the most was the cruel means of the Legalists, which was to poor the people and enrich the country. This was the fundamental trouble!

"As long as there is no objection, I will grant Wei Yang the title of Minister of Reform. The title of Zuo Shuchang was the chief minister. I received the sword of the monarch. I can kill the nobles below the Gongcheng River before reporting! In addition, in order to ensure the prosecution of the law, the Zuo Shuchang Mansion should be established as the place where the order is executed. A thousand elite soldiers were specially granted to Wei Yang's dispatch!"

"Your kindness is higher than that of the sky. Wei Yang should be tragic to the old Qin!"

Wei Yang walked to Ying Quliang and knelt deeply, his eyes completely red.

"Haha, I don't want you to be traumatized, as long as you are a powerful Lao Qin! Don't forget that you will conquer Hexi for ten years and dominate the world for fifty years. This is your promise to Lao Qin and I. Can you do it?"

"If you can't succeed, please kill Wei Yang's head!"

"Okay, okay, Zuo Shuchang has this determination, I believe you. Get up quickly... Zuo Shuchang, don't forget who recommended you. If you want to make a good move, you will ask Bai Zuo for more advice in the future."

After hearing Ying Quliang's words, people from Gan Long looked at Bai Dong. Some were angry and some shook their heads. I really couldn't figure out why Bai Dong, a smart man, did such a stupid thing? You recommended him yesterday. He would focus on agriculture and suppress business today. Your Bai family is the largest merchant in Lao Qin. How do you feel now?

"Let's wait!"

Gongsun Jia came out again and said, "Although what Bai Zi said makes sense, the reform should not be implemented hastily. The ministers think that after Zuo Shuchang made the new law, it should be discussed and approved by the ministers, otherwise it would not be reform, but autocratic! In addition, the reform is not just a matter of the court, but also related to all people in the country. Since ancient times, all reformers have been trusted by the people and then carried out. If the people refuse to trust, how can the new law be implemented smoothly? Therefore, if Zuo Shuchang wants to do reform, he must first gain the trust of the people, otherwise the law will not change."

"What the Chief Shigong said is very true. Since Zuo Shuchang is a great talent in the world, it should be easy to win the trust of the people. I think this matter must be done first, otherwise everyone will not have to discuss any new methods, because no one will believe it at all, let alone promote it, haha."

"I'm going to discuss it!"

"The people trust... what does Zuo Shuchang think?"

Ying Quliang frowned slightly. This time he did not directly scold the ministers because he also wanted to see what means Wei Yang had to gain the trust of the people; Gongsun Jia and the others were not wrong. If they did not gain the trust and support of the people, what else would you become? This is also the reason why he wanted Bai Dong to preside over the reform. With Bai Dong's prestige, as long as there was no problem with the content of the new law, it could be quickly implemented nationwide. If it were Wei Yang, it would be a little difficult. First of all, it was lack of prestige, and establishing trust became the primary task.

Is this the origin of the city gate building?

Bai Dong laughed in his heart. Being able to witness the occurrence of historical events is actually a pleasure, which is something that only time travelers can enjoy.

"Reporting to the emperor, Wei Yang first came to Qin, how could he quickly establish his prestige? The Chief Shi Gong and Du Sikong were deliberately making things difficult for the ministers. In the eyes of the ministers, it is the right reason to gradually establish the prestige of the ministers in the implementation of the new law. At this time, the new law has not been established, which is really difficult..."

"Well, what Zuo Shuchang said is not unreasonable. Are Gongsun Changshi and Du Sikong too embarrassed him?" Ying Quliang also hesitated a little. He was curious, but if Wei Yang could not do it, would it affect the major reform?

"The king and the ministers did not intend to make things difficult for Zuo Shuchang, but the reform was of great importance. It was just that the reform was related to it. It was also just to examine his people's trust and prestige. It should be noted that when Guan Zhong reformed, although a great wise man Bao Shuya strongly recommended him, Duke Huan of Qi still did a lot of investigations. Although Baili Xi was a slave, everyone in the world knew his wiseness. Wei Yang was just a Gongsun from the Wei State. He had a reputation as a noble prince and did not use it. If he could not prove that he had the ability to gain the trust of the people, why would he be a minister of reform? The minister was not convinced!"

Gongsun Jia pressed forward step by step, how could he still look like the good old man in the past?

"I am not convinced either!"

"The old minister Gan Long is really dissatisfied!"

"Hey! I just want to use Wei Yang's reforms to be rich and powerful, but you are not convinced... Well, since you have the talent to govern the country, you can think of a way to gain the trust of the people and let all officials stop talking. I don't care!"

Ying Quliang secretly glanced at Bai Dong several times, hoping that he could say a few words; but Bai Dong made up his mind this time and never looked up and let you "spoke a secret message". I will give you a spiritual cover. Ying Quliang was both angry and funny, knowing that this kid did it on purpose. He simply ignored it himself, and threw his sleeves out of the Liyang Palace, and let Wei Yang clean up the mess.

"Retreat the court..."

Fan Qiang looked at the ministers and Wei Yang in the palace deeply, and his face was still as calm as usual. He didn't know whether this old Qin "internal minister" supported or opposed the reform.

***

When Bai Dong left the Liyang Palace, he ran away, jumped into his carriage and ordered to return to Baijiazhuang immediately. Nie Zhu was very surprised: "Didn't you say you want to go to Wenhua Supermarket? The top perfume produced by our family is on sale in Lao Qin today, which is a limited edition of high-end products packaged in high-quality porcelain bottles and incense wood boxes. The bitter girl has great hopes, and you also said you would go to the station to cheer; and the "New Text Collection" was also on the shelves today. It was originally agreed that you would sign the first ten copies of the sales, and the empty promises would be laughed at."

"What if he doesn't matter, there will naturally be someone who will buy good things. Whether I go or not is the same. Go quickly! If I am surrounded by those colleagues, I will be annoyed. Hurry up..."

I have already seen Gongsun Jia and Junggeting and others "punching". These people were so angry that they didn't have the courage to ask Ying Quliang to vent. Their punching bag naturally became the first target, and the fool wouldn't run away!

Nie Zhu had already reacted very quickly. Before Gongsun Jia and the others got on the car, Bai Dong's carriage rushed towards the city gate, but even so, Du Zhi was chased by a hundred-meter sprint. The guy ran away with sweat and jumped onto the car: "I'm going to the papermaking workshop. It's just right to take your car. Don't worry, I won't blame my brother. I know there must be a reason for you to recommend Wei Yang... Brother Bai, do you even want to hide it? Does Wei Yang's reform contain unlimited business opportunities, and we are going to make a lot of money again?"

Bai Dong rolled his eyes: "Get out, you have other ideas besides money, do you have any other ideas? You are really a serious official of Qin. Wei Yang said you were not wrong, he is just a profit-oriented person!"

"Hehe, we are each other... You and my brothers are smart people and will only be profitable. Those stupid guys are afraid that there is no way to make money. I envy them so much. Good brother, don't go around the corner. Tell me about the huge business opportunities brought by the reform. Brother, I'm very anxious..."

"Of course there are ways to make money. Go and buy some well fields. As far as I know, although the well fields are nominally owned by the Emperor Zhou, they actually belong to the princes of various countries. The kings of various countries also reward the nobles and officials, and they arrange for clan members or slaves to cultivate... Nowadays, the fertile and high-yield parts of these well fields are controlled by the noble family members, and the abandoned fields are given to slave farmers. When paying taxes, they are calculated based on the output of the wasteland. Some noble families even abandon the well fields and secretly purchase fertile private fields, but do not report them. When paying taxes, they use the well fields to trap private fields and steal the taxes of private fields...

"If Wei Yang wants to reform, he must abandon these well fields and re-divide private fields. But he can't just kill them one by one? Even if he wants to confiscate them, he will give some compensation to avoid the national turmoil. So you have the opportunity to make money. Just buy some abandoned well fields at a very small price. At that time, I will tell you how to maintain the fields. If you take a year to maintain them, it will be the best private fields. In the future, he will sell them to Wei Yang and allocate them to those slaves without land. Don't worry, except for the aristocratic families like Meng Xibai, some small slave owners and nobles dare not compete with Wei Yang, the minister of reform. Instead of handing over them for free, it is better to sell them to you, Du Sikong..."

"This is a profitable business, but if Wei Yang doesn't give me the face, he must forcefully confiscate the land. Wouldn't I have to pay all of it?"

"Don't worry, don't look at Wei Yang's fierce words. When the reform is really started, his biggest enemy is actually those old clans. It's too late to win over important officials like you, how can he offend you again? And if he wants to confiscate the well fields, the more manpower and material resources he has to spend. Even if he confiscates, he has to spend his time and financial resources to maintain the ground and redistribute it to the slaves without land. If you help him do these things, then Zuo Sikong will take the initiative to respond to the reform. What is the significance of this? Even if Wei Yang spends some money to buy it? He is not a fool, and he can still settle the account."

"That's right?"

"I will still cheat you? Didn't you say that, we are good brothers..."

"My brother Bai, have you forgotten that I am the old Qin Sikong? Are you cheating me? Wei Yang is just a pauper. The fees required for his reform come from the old Qin Ku. That is the money of the king! You... do you want me to use the opportunity of reform to earn the money of the king? Brother, I have not offended you, why should I take my head..."

The more Du Zhi said, the more sad he felt. People were determined to be a good friend and a good partner, but you came to harm me?

"It's not true that we have been working happily. When did I hurt you? Well, brother, I just said, how much savings do you think in the old Qin kuo for Wei Yang to use? Don't worry, he will definitely not have enough money and ask me to borrow money. Then I will be his big creditor, and I am still afraid that I can't protect you? Don't worry, go and buy it. When you get a profit, you and my brother will definitely be half of it."

"I don't understand this. I'll lend your money to Wei Yang and then sell the land I bought to him? With the benefit, half of our brothers... Brother Bai, I'm really a little dizzy. If you go around like this, wouldn't it be like you spend money to buy your own land, and how could you make a profit from it?"

Du Zhi was in pain. The more he contacted Bai Dong, the more he suspected that there was something wrong with his IQ...
