In 361 BC, it was the ninth year that Wei Hou Wei Feng succeeded to the throne, and it was also the fifth year that the war that almost affected the entire world came to an end.

During these five years, perhaps because the vast wars consumed most of the princes' energy, the entire world was generally in a relatively peaceful state.

The rare peace has given all countries in the world valuable development opportunities.

Although each country wants to become strong for different reasons, some want to prevent being invaded by neighboring powerful countries, some want to accumulate strength to expand territory, and some want to restore strength to wash away the hatred of the previous war.

All in all, no matter what the purpose of becoming powerful is, in this rare period of peace, all countries have begun to vigorously expand their strength.

However, while the common people in most countries in the world are enjoying this rare tranquility, some princes are not so harmonious within themselves.

The Yue Kingdom is said to have existed since the Xia Dynasty and has always been a force that cannot be ignored in the southeast.

"Ten years of gatherings, ten years of lessons."

After suffering hardships, King Gou Jian of Yue spent twenty years to finally complete his revenge on King Wu Fu Cha and wash away the shame brought by Wu State to Yue State.

After destroying his old enemy Wu State, King Gou Jian of Yue did not stop his steps, and began to cast his eyes towards the north.

Following the footsteps of Wu State who once competed with the princes for hegemony, he began to lead his army all the way north, showing off the illustrious military might of the Yue State to the countries in the Central Plains.

He made an alliance with Qi State and Jin State, two major Central Plains countries, in Xuzhou. He returned the land occupied by Wu State, Song State, Lu State and other countries, and he donated the land in the Huaihe River Basin to Chu State.

With the effective combination of a powerful army and friendly diplomacy, the influence of the Yue State began to expand from the north of the Yangtze River basin to the north of the Huaihe River, and the northernmost point was even adjacent to the State of Qi.

As King Zhou Yuan sent people to deliver sacrificial meat to King Gou Jian of Yue and gave him the title of overlord "Bo", King Gou Jian of Yue also became the last overlord in the Spring and Autumn Period.

At this time, the Yue State was one of the few powerful states in the world. Mozi once said, "The most warlike states in the world are Qi, Jin, Chu and Yue."

The country of Yue once had a glorious past, but its glory was followed by a long period of decline.

Confucius once said: "I fear that Ji Sun's worries are not in Zhuan Yu, but within Xiao Qiang."

This is Confucius saying that the three Huans of Lu State were worried about enemies from within, and the decline of Yue State also came from within it.

The wheel of history entered from the late Spring and Autumn Period to the early Warring States Period. A tragic human tragedy occurred within the Yue State, in which patricide and usurpation of the throne occurred. This was the Zhu Gou Incident.

Although Zhu Gou, the king of Yue who came to power after launching a coup, was a man of great talent and strategy, and once pushed the power of the country of Yue to its peak;

However, the patricide of King Zhu Gou of Yue gave the subsequent Yue clan a bad start, and ultimately led to the decline of the Yue Kingdom.

After the death of King Zhu Gou of Yue, his son Taizi Yi succeeded to the throne of King of Yue. This was King Yi of Yue.

King Yi of Yue had a younger brother named Yu, who had always been eyeing the throne of Yue. For this reason, he instigated and killed three princes one after another.

At that time, Zhu Jiu, the crown prince of the Yue Kingdom, felt threatened by his uncle Yu. In order to avoid disaster, he decided to strike first.

In July of 375 BC, Zhu Jiu imitated his grandfather Zhu Gou and launched a palace coup, expelled his uncle Yu and killed his father Yi.

However, the prince Zhu Jiu was not supported by the people of Yue State. They united and killed Zhu Jiu together, and the Yue State fell into chaos.

After the Zhujiu Rebellion, the people of Wu saw an opportunity and took action. They supported the crown prince Zhujiu's son Cuozhi to succeed the Yue King.

Of course, the Yue people in the mainland could not sit back and watch the people of Wu control the Yue country, so Qing Dafu Siqu of Yue led a large army into Wu.

After killing the culprit Yu and deposing Cuozhi, he supported another son of Yue King Yi, Zhihou, to ascend the throne of Yue King.

At this point, the three-year chaos in the Yue Kingdom temporarily came to an end with the death and dethronement of two generations of Yue kings.

However, this does not mean the end of the turmoil within the Yue Kingdom. The end of everything will have to wait until the tenth year after the Yue King succeeds to the throne.

In 363 BC, the second year after the end of the war that almost affected all the princes in the world, Si, the younger brother of Dafu Qing, who had led the army to quell the rebellion ten years ago, launched another rebellion.

Because the Yue Kingdom was located in a remote place in the southeast, the only countries that could exert power in this rebellion were Qi, Song, and Chu.

Among the three countries, Qi was attacked by the coalition of princes led by Wei in the previous war, and both its land and national power were greatly weakened.

The Qi State, which is now silently hiding aside and licking its wounds, is completely unable to intervene in the civil strife occurring in the Yue State at this time.

The Song State had always followed the footsteps of the Wei State in the previous wars and bit off a large piece of flesh from the Qi State.

According to common sense, Song State, which has benefited from Qi State, is fully interested and capable of taking advantage of the internal instability of Yue State to peel off a layer of skin from Yue State.

However, God did not seem to be prepared to give the Song Dynasty this opportunity. Song Xiu, the Duke of Song Dynasty who had reigned for twenty-three years, passed away at this time, and his son Song Pibing ascended the throne.

Qi was limited by its damaged national power, and Song was limited by the death of its monarch. Among the three kingdoms, only Chu was the one who could intervene in the Yue rebellion.

In the previous life, the Chu State did not send troops to intervene in the civil strife in the Yue State. Instead, it marched westward to eliminate the threat from the west of the Ba State.

This time, the Chu State, which had decided to implement the strategy of advancing eastward, would naturally not give up such a good opportunity.

Taking advantage of the opportunity that Doctor Qing wanted to kill the marquis of the Yue King and establish Wu Zhuan as the king, King Xiong Liangfu of Chu decisively ordered to send troops eastward.

After experiencing internal political turmoil, the power struggle has greatly weakened the national strength. How can the Yue State be the opponent of the Chu State at this moment?

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Facing the menacing Chu army, the Yue army could be said to have been defeated again and again, losing a large area of ​​territory belonging to the Yue country.

In the end, the Yue State, with no hope of victory, exchanged all the land north of the Yangtze River for temporary peace with the Chu State.

After losing the capital Langya, the newly ascended Yue King Wu Zhuan moved the capital back to its original capital Ji, hoping that he could receive the blessings of his ancestors and revive the Yue Kingdom.

The Chu State, which won this victory, expanded its territory eastward to the coast of the East China Sea, and most of the land in the river basin also became the Chu State's territory.

While the turmoil in Yue State and the Chu State's dispatch of troops caused by it attracted the attention of the world's most knowledgeable people, the Wei State, as the most powerful country in the world today, was digesting and developing in an orderly manner.

The land of Qindong that he captured from Qin.

In 364 BC, with the support of Wei Hou Wei Feng and Wei Prime Minister Gongsun Qi, Gongsun Yang, the magistrate of Yueyang County, initiated the implementation of the land grant system in Yueyang in eastern Qin.

After owning the land that he cultivated and was protected by the state, the enthusiasm of Lishu in Yueyang was completely aroused.

After the busy sowing in spring and the hard work under the scorching sun in summer, the people of Yueyang Lishu who have worked hard for more than half a year finally ushered in autumn.

When the cool autumn wind blows across the land of Yueyang, and when yellow replaces green as the main color of farmland, the faces of Lishu in Yueyang are filled with smiles from the heart.

A year of hard work has not been in vain, they will usher in their own harvest moment.

Under the gazes of the county magistrate Gongsun Yang and the county lieutenant Sun Boling, under the gazes of the government officials, and under the gazes of thousands of Yueyang farmers...

Farm tools made of iron were flying in fields one after another, grains of corn were picked up by farmers, and smiling faces gathered one after another into the picture called "Harvest."

In the end, when the corn harvests from various townships in Yueyang were brought together, the result not only brought smiles to the faces of the county magistrate Gongsun Yang and others, but also gave birth to the court in Anyi, the foreign capital thousands of miles away.

A bit surprised.

Although this year's corn harvest in Yueyang is far from comparable to that of Hedong and other places in Wei State that have been vigorously developed since Li Kui's political reform;

But Wei Feng and Gongsun Qi, the two most powerful people in the Wei Kingdom, immediately realized the key.

After the implementation of the land grant system, just one Yue Yang can obtain a much larger harvest than before thanks to the extremely high enthusiasm of the farmers.

So what will be the effect if the scope of the land grant system is expanded, or even promoted throughout Qindong?

After having this idea in his mind, Wei Feng had some vague expectations in his heart.

After several discussions with important officials in the court, Wei Feng finally issued the order in the name of Wei Hou.

On the original land of Qindong, Wei Feng established Qindong County following the old example of Wei Wenhou establishing Xihe County.

Gongsun Yang was promoted by Wei Feng from the position of county magistrate of Yueyang because of his meritorious service in implementing the land grant system in Yueyang, and became the first county magistrate established in Qindong County.

On the surface, Wei Feng hoped that Gongsun Yang could use his experience in conferring land in Yueyang to expand the land conferment system from Liyang to the entire Qindong County.

Not only that, Wei Feng also had another thought related to Gongsun Yang and his predecessors.

You must know that Li Kui, who was under Marquis Wen of Wei at that time, also worked his way up from Hexi, which was adjacent to the Qin State, and became a famous prime minister who influenced the situation of the Wei State and even the entire world.

Wei Feng hoped that Gongsun Yang could be like the famous prime minister Li Kui in the past, assisting him to make the Wei state more prosperous, and ultimately accomplish the goal he had set in his new life.

Gongsun Yang's performance as governor of Qindong County in the following years fully demonstrated that Wei Feng's trust and expectations for him were not wrong in the slightest.

Relying on the experience he gained from implementing the land grant system in Yueyang and the momentum he accumulated, Gongsun Yang began to implement the land grant system almost at the same time he took power in Qin Dong.

Walking in the fields of Qindong Dadi, you can see the familiar scenes that happened in Yueyang not long ago.

Following the order from Gongsun Yang, the governor of Qindong County, countless officials from the government began to rush to all directions to measure the land they owned within the scope of their tasks.

Such a large-scale land survey in Qindong will naturally cause dissatisfaction among many local families, just like Yueyang in the past.

However, with the lessons learned from Yue Yang and Pi Zhan, no matter how dissatisfied most families are, they dare not take any actions that touch the bottom line.

It's just that there are a lot of families in the land of Qindong. Even if most of the families don't have any evil intentions, you can't avoid that some people will jump out at this time.

As a result, sporadic family rebellions began to appear in the land under Qin Dong's jurisdiction.

In terms of strength, these aristocratic families are not as good as the Yu family who once launched a rebellion in Yueyang. How can the Pi family be a match for the Wei army, which has the strength to crush both families?

Under the order of the governor Gongsun Yang, the Qin Dong Army, which had been expanded from one thousand to ten thousand, began to cooperate with the soldiers stationed in various places to carry out an effective and powerful attack on the rebellious families.

As a result, this family rebellion, which seemed to be huge and flourishing in all directions, but was actually scattered, was put down in a very short time.

The obstacles in front of him have been removed, and the preliminary preparations have been completed. Gongsun Yang finally completed his previously set goals step by step.

With farmers from all over Qindong County looking forward to it, the exciting scenes that happened in Yueyang were repeated all over Qindong.

A smile bloomed on his face, tears rolled in his eyes, and joy continued to expand his boundaries in his heart.

These Qin Dong Li Shu who finally got their own land tightly held the certificates of the land in their hands and murmured in their hearts the same words as the former Yueyang Li Shu.

"Okay, with this hundred acres of land, our family will be able to live well in the future."

"With these lands, we have hope for the future."

"My beloved, we..."

…

Among those smiling faces, the development of Qindong County began to embark on the fast track.

Perhaps it was the farmers' simplicity that moved God. In the next two years, the land of Qindong was prosperous.

Successive years of bumper harvests have gradually improved the lives of Lishu in Qindong. Although they are still not as good as Hedong and other places that have developed for a long time, most families have already got rid of the plight of poverty and weakness.

Under this situation, Qindong, located at the junction of Wei and Qin, began to be more and more favored by merchants from all over the world, and Yueyangnan City also began to regain its former prosperity.

That is to say, as Qindong County is gradually developing, and it is conceivable that the situation will get better and better in the future, a royal order from Anyi came to Yueyang, the Qindong County government.

In this order, Gongsun Yang, the governor of Qindong County who had played a great role in the development of Qindong County, was transferred from Qindong, which he had guarded for five years, to the neighboring Xihe County to serve as the governor of Xihe County.

Not only that, the 10,000 Qin Dong Army in Qin Dong County was also expanded into the Qin Dong Camp with 50,000 soldiers. Sun Boling, who partnered with Gongsun Yang, became the main general of this army.
