The State of Wei has its capital at Anyi and the residence of its prime minister.

Still in the study room, Wei Feng, the Marquis of Wei, and his uncle Cuo, who had just passed away, were sitting opposite each other. At this moment, a smile appeared on their faces.

In the period that just passed, starting with the selection of the next prime minister, the two discussed a lot of things.

Perhaps because of the lack of restraint in the court, the conversation between the two was quite casual, which brought some unexpected effects.

I don't know how long after talking about it, Wei Feng seemed to have thought of something, but his brows suddenly frowned a little.

Seeing the change in expression on his face, Uncle Cuo on the opposite side quickly asked with some concern: "Do you have any worries in your heart? If so, you might as well tell me. I would like to share some of your worries."

"Teacher, to be honest, these days, I have been worried about something."

Without any cover-up, he directly explained his situation to Gongshu Cuo in front of him, and then saw Wei Feng's eyes looking forward with a bit of questioning.

"In this battle, our Wei army indeed defeated Qin and Qi, which greatly increased the prestige of our Wei state. However, our Wei state encountered a lot of difficulties after the war."

"Complex matters such as rewards for meritorious soldiers, pensions for fallen soldiers, and post-war recovery in Hexi have kept me busy."

"And one of the most troublesome things for me is how to deal with the hundreds of miles of Qindong land that Wei State has seized from Qin State."

"You must know that the people living on this land are all the original Qin people. If it is not handled well, then the state of Wei will be greeted by turmoil."

When Wei Feng slowly expressed his concerns about the situation in Qin Dong, Gongshu Cuo listened very carefully to the side, sometimes with a pensive look on his face.

When Wei Feng's voice finally fell, Gongshu Cuo raised his head and said, "The land of Qindong is indeed a bit tricky."

"It is not an ordinary territory of our Wei State in the west, but also a strategic strategy for the Qin State that is crucial to the future of our Wei State. We must not ignore it."

After saying these words in a solemn tone, Gong Shucuo immediately asked: "I wonder if your Majesty has a strategy in mind for the land of Qin Dong?"

"Teacher, I have been thinking a lot about how to deal with Qin Dong in the past few days. I have a preliminary plan in mind, and I would like to ask the teacher for your advice."

After saying this, Wei Feng's face showed a look of asking for advice, and then a somewhat solemn voice sounded in the room.

"Teacher, I think that if we want the land of Qin Dong to be completely settled, we, the Wei State, should do two things."

"First, he won the hearts of the people with light corvee and low taxes, so that the hearts of the common people living in the land of Qindong turned to our country, Wei;"

"Secondly, the migration of people from Hedong, Hanoi and other densely populated places increased the number of Wei people living in Qindong."

After listening to what Wei Feng said, Gongshu Cuo nodded slightly and agreed: "Your Majesty's strategy is indeed a mature strategy for the country."

"If it can be implemented smoothly, the common people living on this land will gradually identify with our Wei State, and this land in the east of Qin will gradually become the territory of the Wei State."

"only……"

There was a moment of hesitation before the words came out of Gongshu Cuo's mouth, and then he changed the subject and said: "There is only one premise for all of this, that is, the land of Qindong must have an efficient government.

.”

"If there is no such premise, then everything your Majesty imagines may be just an idea and cannot really become a reality."

Gongshu Cuo's reminder gave Wei Feng a feeling of sudden enlightenment. After pondering for a moment, a look of enlightenment appeared in Wei Feng's eyes.

"What the teacher is referring to is the implementation of the county system in Qindong?"

When Wei Feng's words rang in his ears, Gongshu Cuo showed a satisfied smile on his face.

County as a term has already appeared in the Western Zhou Dynasty, but the first implementation of the county system was not until the Spring and Autumn Period.

In the early Spring and Autumn Period, King Wu of Chu destroyed the wealthy neighboring country Quan, and later appointed Lord Quan as the manager of Quan.

Later, Quan Jun was dissatisfied that his country was destroyed by the Chu State, so he raised an army again to fight against the Chu State, but was defeated by the Chu State because of his lack of strength.

The defeated Quanjun was escorted back to Yingdu by the Chu army and imprisoned. This land was set up as Quan County by the Chu State, and talented people were selected from the county as county governors.

After the Chu State, both the Jin State located in the Central Plains, the Qin State located in Guanzhong, and even the Wei State that subsequently experienced Li Kui's reform, all implemented the county system directly led by the king in some important places.

The officials of each county are not served by local nobles, but are directly dispatched by the monarch. This system undoubtedly greatly strengthens the control of the central government represented by the monarch over the entire country.

If a county is established in the land of Qindong and Wei Feng, the Marquis of Wei, personally sends officials to manage it, this move will inevitably strengthen Wei's control over the land of Qindong.

Once this suggestion is implemented, the possibility of implementing the strategy previously envisioned by Wei Feng will be greatly improved, and the land of Qindong will become part of Wei's territory more quickly.

This is undoubtedly a great good thing for Wei State.

However, after experiencing some longing for the future prospects in his heart, the expression on Wei Feng's face returned to contemplation.

Gradually, Wei Feng's gaze was no longer limited to Qin Dong, but began to look at the entire Wei State.

The county system of the Wei State came from the Jin State, and gradually formed a system during Li Kui's reform during the reign of Marquis Wen.

Nowadays, the Wei State has aristocratic territories and county systems in parallel. Can the implementation of the county system in Qindong be used as an opportunity to extend the county system to the entire Wei State?

As soon as this idea appeared in his mind, Wei Feng felt a little excited in his heart. He already wanted to know what kind of changes the full implementation of the county system would bring to the Wei State.

After a few breaths, Wei Feng suppressed the excitement in his heart and looked solemnly at Gongshu Cuo in front of him.

"Teacher, I want to implement the county system throughout Wei State. I wonder what you think, Teacher?"

Hearing Wei Feng's self-proclaimed change and meeting those extremely solemn eyes, Gongshu Cuo immediately realized the importance of the matter.

As his thoughts were flowing rapidly in his mind, he saw that the expression on Uncle Cuo's face also became very serious.

"I report to your Majesty that I believe it is very appropriate to implement the county system at this time."

"First, in this battle, the king led the Wei State to defeat the powerful enemy Qin Qi, and his reputation was at its peak. At this time, the county system is being fully implemented in the Wei State, and not many nobles from all over the country will stand up to stop it."

"Secondly, this time your Majesty took the land of Qindong as an opportunity to cover the whole country. This move is closely related to our Wei State's future Qin State strategy. I think that the opposition of the important officials in the court will not be too loud.

.”

After explaining his reasons for fully implementing the county system at this time, Gongshu Cuo suddenly had a strange look in his eyes, "Your Majesty, I think that if the county system is fully implemented, it will also help Wei State recruit talents.
