The gateway of the Xi Family City was opened. Before the Qin army entered the city, the remaining children of the Xi Family's direct descendants were wiped out; the children of the sidelined families had long disliked these direct descendants. In the past, everyone wanted to fight the enemy side by side, but now Silde and Bai Dong have an agreement, so what are you waiting for? They have polished their butcher knives early on.

Seeing the heads of the people who were arranged from the city gate to the Xishi Palace, even Wei Yang felt a little cold in his heart and looked at Sild: "You killed these people?"

Silde smiled and gave Wei Yang a light bow: "If you don't kill me, you will block my city from surrendering to the Qin Dynasty. I believe Zuo Shuchang wouldn't care?"

Wei Yang curled his lips slightly, but said nothing. The young man was brave and cruel, and now he has become Bai Dong's student again. Being friends with him is better than becoming enemies. He has obviously been stolen from the limelight and has to praise him for his good work. However, he still ordered these children of the Xijia family and slaves who participated in the rebellion to be temporarily detained.

Of course he knew the result of the negotiation between Bai Dong and Silde, but he could exercise the power of the chief general without giving up a day, and no one could say anything. As for Silde, although he had been the leader of the "rebels" for several days, he had made contributions to the city and now he became Bai Dong's disciple. Moreover, he was a low-born family in the West and was a descendant of a female slave. It was said that he was a concubine of the West and was considered to be a praise of this boy. Wei Yang was a smart man, so he naturally would not catch Bai Dong's newly recruited "beloved disciple".

The rebellion of Mengxi and Bai families was quelled, and the Meng family was naturally uprooted. Half of the land was collected as state-owned and half was rewarded to the Bai family, which made great contributions in this rebellion. The slaves of the Meng family and the Bai family have since become free farmers and can rent land for the "emerging landlord class" such as the National Government or the Bai family as needed. It can be imagined that there will be a good harvest near Yongmei this autumn.

The land of the Xijia family was temporarily nationalized. How to deal with these children from the Xijia side branches depends on what Ying Quliang had. In Wei Yang's opinion, Ying Quliang may not necessarily follow Bai Dong in everything. After all, the Xijia family participated in the rebellion. There is no reason why the Meng family destroyed the nine clans but only eliminated the direct descendants of the Xijia family. This unfair practice is a taboo for reform and a taboo for the new king. After all, Ying Quliang is short of his days and cannot be deeply rooted in the old win.

How could only the Meng family be punished by the Weishui River? In addition, the children of the Xijia family can exceed 20,000! When Wei Yang thought that he would kill 20,000 death row prisoners at the same time, he would be inexplicably excited. He had been waiting for this day for too long. On the day when the Weishui River was dyed red, Zuo Shuchang's name would be louder than "Baizi". Only at this moment did the Qin reform really begin!

He patted Silde's shoulder and asked him to take his luggage and follow Nie Zhuxian to report to the academy. Bai Dong glanced at Wei Yang with his eyes. No matter how he suppressed it, he tried to persuade him that the beast was a beast. Now this beast of Lao Qin is about to leave the gate. But he was also the one who opened the gate, which was simply the biggest irony.

"Wei Yang insisted on eliminating the three tribes of the West. Otherwise, the laws would be unfair and the world would be booming, which would be unfavorable to the implementation of the new law. I think what he said is reasonable, but I just don't understand why you must ask for the West for the sake of the genius Silde?"

Ying Quliang poured a cup of tea for Bai Dong himself, and his eyes were a little funny. Bai Dong negotiated with the Xijia as the governor this time, and even asked for the Xijia gang, which inevitably made him have an illusion that Bai Dong was deliberately suppressing Wei Yang's reputation, which was called supporting the new law, but in fact he was setting obstacles for reform, which was what he least wanted to see.

"Reform does not mean killing people. After all, the king is the first person in Lao Qin. You have the right to pardon, why do you have to kill so many people?"

Bai Dong sighed slightly. His analysis of Ying Quliang was indeed correct. This monarch with both filial and righteousness was the same as Wei Yang, and his intention to kill was too great! Perhaps he had the same idea as Wei Yang, thinking that Meng Xibai openly disobeying the new law and not killing was not enough to establish his authority. Unfortunately, he was as smart as Ying Quliang, but he still had never seen the rebound that too many killings would bring.

Even in front of Ying Quliang, the Qin State's reform encountered great resistance, and this resistance came from Wei Yang's excessive killings. People in the world say that Wei Yang's reform in the 20th year made Qin State strong, but in fact it was not the case. After Wei Yang's reforms succeeded, the only good battle between the old Qin was to completely annihilate the army of Prince Ang of Wei and take back his hometown in Hexi. However, even the victory of this battle was due to Wei Yang's disgraceful means.

Moreover, after this battle, the Qin State had no other move to expand its territory. It was not until Xiao Yingsi grew up that Sima Cuo appointed all the land of Bashu, and Qin State began to become a powerful country.

Therefore, Wei Yang's success did not really fundamentally enhance the strength of the old Qin. It was only when he was alive that he established a new law, which was essentially a "strong country and weak people" and accumulated a strong Qin in later generations after decades of operation and development. By the time of Ying Zheng, it finally had a qualitative change and defeated the world in one fell swoop. But it was precisely because the new law was too "harsh and fiercely killed" from the beginning that the Qin State quickly destroyed. Zhao Gao and Qin II were just the last straw to crush the camel. The culprit of the demise of Qin State was still "too strict in the law and wantonly killing"!

If it weren't for the fear of Ying Quliang's rebound, Bai Dong would even oppose the destruction of the nine tribes of the Meng family. What are the nine tribes? The father's clan, the mother's clan, and the wife's clan! The order to destroy the nine tribes was passed down, and Meng Shuangcheng's wife's clan and his son's wife's clan were all among the killings! In the eyes of Bai Dong, who was a lawyer in later generations, this was simply a brutal and extremely backward law. However, he would not be so stupid that he jumped out to play against Ying Quliang. It was difficult for the Meng family to save him, but the Western family had to work hard to fight for it.

Wei Yang's reform has two stages. This stage starts with rewarding military merits and abolishing the well fields. It basically does not involve the interests of the people. Even if he encounters resistance, it will not affect the overall situation. However, because of Bai Dong's appearance, history has begun to be slightly affected. Wei Yang's first reform has been one and a half years earlier than the historical records. The secondary reform may not be delayed for more than ten years. Maybe a secondary reform plan will be proposed in a few years. Bai Dong knows more than anyone that the clauses of the secondary reform that really caused shocks to the government and the country will challenge the customs that the old Qin people have been practicing for hundreds of years. At the beginning of its implementation, everyone in the world said that it was against it. In order to completely implement the new law, Wei Yang was the real killing of people. It was really terrible!

Therefore, we must appropriately suppress Wei Yang now and warn Ying Quliang, otherwise once we are killed by this pair of monarchs and ministers, we will not know how many people will fall to the ground in the future. Even if we are not for Silde, Bai Dong must strive for the matter of the West.

"There are 30,000 Yongqi Jingqi, most of which are from the three families of Mengxibai. Although the other half have no family membership, they are quite recognized by the three families of Mengxibai. Now that the Meng family will be killed, nine tribes will be destroyed. If even the Xijia family is to be razed, they will only be disheartened to Lao Qin. Yes, the Xijia family rebelled and should be killed, but the Xijia family is different from the Meng family. Only from the performance of Silde, can the king still see that the slaves of the Xijia have feelings for the master family? Faced with the temptation of becoming a free peasant and the fields, they are still willing to resist the orders of the Xijia family for the Xijia, which shows that."

"Are you worried about the more than 10,000 slaves in the West?" Ying Quliang raised his eyebrows, as if he was dissatisfied.

"These more than 10,000 slaves are nothing. The king can order the complete destruction of a century-old family like the Meng family. How could he worry about these slaves? But don't forget the slogans implemented by the new law, abolishing the well fields, rewarding farming, and removing the slavery system. This is the basis of the legislation of the new law. How could the king ignore these slaves?"

Bai Dong patiently convinced Ying Quliang: "Minister has done a lot of money. It is not counted as those who died in the battle. The number of people in the Meng family is over 10,000. If the Xijia family is added, the Wei River will really become a slaughterhouse! Wei Yang, the minister of reform, will shock the world. At that time, the people in the world will only know the method of Zuo Shuchang, but this method is not originally from the king..."

This passage is a heart-wrenching word, which is very similar to the method of treacherous ministers in later generations to frame loyalty and good people, but Bai Dong must say that. One killing can exceed ten thousand people, which is certainly unimaginable in later generations, and even in this era, it is extremely amazing! It is possible to save some, but more importantly, to suppress Wei Yang and not to turn him into a madman too early! Shang Jun in later generations was really crazy. In fact, with his contribution, even if a prince Qian framed him and Ying Si was dissatisfied, the world said that he could kill him, and he might not be able to get a tragic result. It was precisely because he dared to raise troops to resist Qin that he was punished first. Couldn’t the crazy Shang Jun begin to transform from the "blood stained Wei River" in the future?

"The world only knows the method of Zuo Shuchang, but I don't know that the method is derived from me..."

Ying Quliang fell into deep thought and pondered slightly, "What the fourth brother said is not without reason, but if he only kills the direct descendants of the Western Family, it would be too cheap."

"Isn't it good to deprive them of the land and titles that they have had, and to form new troops to strengthen our country's strength for the warriors, and to let them rent land for the state government?"

Bai Dong chuckled: "And Silde's experience made Weichen think of a way to make Lao Qin grow rapidly. Speaking of which, this is also considered the inspiration he brought to Weichen, and it is also considered to have made a contribution to Lao Qin. As long as he makes this contribution, the emperor should be lenient to the West."

"I have said a long time ago that as long as you are not in the court meeting, you, my king and minister should be called brothers. My good fourth brother, have you come up with something earth-shaking? Is it impossible to make Lao Qin grow rapidly with just a casual talk?"

Ying Quliang's eyes lit up. He was not easy to be a monarch. He thought about how to make Lao Qin grow rapidly. However, Lao Qin is vast and sparsely populated and weak for too long. Even if he had a genius like Bai Dong and a talent like Wei Yang, it would take more than ten or twenty years to become a powerful country in the world. I am afraid that it would take fifty or sixty years to become a powerful country in the world, as Bai Dong said. What he hoped was to see Qin become stronger in his lifetime.

"The strength of a country lies in laws, culture, and economy. But the foundation of a strong country lies in human power! I think that to quickly strengthen Qin, you should start with the number of people..."

"While it makes sense, how can we quickly increase the population of Lao Qin?"

Ying Quliang had thought about this problem for a long time, but there was basically no solution.
