In the Spring and Autumn and Warring States without women

The young master was stunned. He grew up in the common people, and later he had to spend time in the army. He has a different view in the temple of Yan Kingdom than the nobles in the country. The people of Yan Kingdom are poor and weak, and they rarely have enough food and clothing. They are a bit more than those nobles Heartache, but deep in his heart, Gongzi Furen has a secret thought that he has never told anyone. It is an expectation that he could not even imagine when he was poor and humble-to change the country of Yan, make the country of Yan the same, Dominate the princes like Jin and Chu.

In the past, no matter how much grief and indignation he had towards the status quo of the Yan Kingdom, he was helpless. Now he is the righteous son of the Yan Kingdom, only one step away from the position of the monarch. He is no longer helpless against the poor and weak status quo of the Yan Kingdom. What can he do? To change, but unfortunately often no way to start.

What everyone doesn't know is that even if he has won several big victories in the army, even after defeating the world's powerful Qi State in the southern border, his noble relatives in the country, including his father-in-law and his comrades-in-arms When everyone believed that he was better at military formation than poetry and literature, he once came to Qi State in humble clothes to visit those so-called "great masters", and he even went to Jixia Academy to listen to lectures anonymously.

However, the words "inaction", "saving people's hearts", "benevolence", "ritual system" and so on, all sound very reasonable on their own, but these things sound very reasonable on their own, how does the young master convince others? They all feel that based on the status quo of Yan State, there is no place to focus on that can be implemented in reality.

Is the heart in a state of confusion?Mostly yes, otherwise he and his eldest brother's close relatives of white blood would not have such a quarrel, but can "the benevolent man loves others" solve the problem between him and his eldest brother?Maybe, but if he "loves" the elder brother, will the elder brother "love" him? No matter how little he reads, he also understands that as long as there is only one king of Yan, no matter how much he "loves" the elder brother, there will be a relationship between them. Impossible to live in harmony.

Govern by doing nothing?It also sounds reasonable. Since the Spring and Autumn Period, there has been no year without war. If everyone does nothing and is happy "a small country with few people, old age and death do not communicate with each other", it is not bad to be honest, but the problem is this reality ?Even if the Yan State wants to do nothing, let the soldiers go home, lightly pay and pay, and rest with the people, but Yan State has Zhongshan and Beidi in the north, Shanrong in the east, and Qi State in the south, which competes with Yan State for Jishui. The people of the country have nothing to do, they all live happily like animals, and they don't want to get old and die. Will these enemies let the country of Yan go?It's impossible to think about it with your toes.

Gongzi Furen didn't know whether he was stupid or those high-talking scholars were too naive. He went to Jixia Academy full of questions, but left with even more questions.

But at this moment, all these questions seem to have a chance to be answered again, because the person in front of me, the so-called "Smart Youth" gentleman, is different from those scholars who talk a lot. I can understand, and analyze the problem to the point. What I talk about is the answer to my long-standing confusion.

Young Master Furen became anxious from being stunned, and said: "According to what Mr. said, the reason why Yan State has no food and grass, and the population is not large, is rooted in the backward agricultural system. If we can copy the agricultural system of Qi State, will we be able to do so?" Solved the problem?"

Xia Yu rubbed her forehead with a slight headache, looked at the young master, and said, "Here... let me call you 'Zhao Tong', Mr. Zhao Tong, what do you want to ask? What you want to ask is how to solve it Is it the problem of insufficient food and grass and insufficient population in Yan State? Or do you want Yan State to be strong?"

The young master was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Is there any difference?"

Xia Yu said: "Of course there is a difference. As I said, what is a strong country? Only a strong comprehensive national power can be called a strong country; what is a strong comprehensive national power? Political clarity, economic development, military strength, and cultural prosperity. These four elements are all in place. The comprehensive national strength is strong. Looking at the countries in the world today, they are stronger than military, stronger than culture, or stronger than people's livelihood and economy, and none of them can be called a real strong country."

Speaking of this point, Xia Yu paused again, looked at "Zhao Tong", and said: "What do you want to ask me? Do you want Yan to be strong? How strong is it? Do you want Yan to dominate the princes? ? Or do you want Yan to rule the world!"

Young Master Furen was stunned again, and he stammered for a long time before he said: "All the countries in the world are vying for supremacy, Yan... Yan is poor and weak, even if hegemony is impossible for the nobles in the vassal states, let alone unify the world, This... This is the overlord of the world, Jin, who dare not have such delusions."

Xia Yu smiled. This smile can be said to be arrogant or self-confident, and said: "Of course the Jin country can't. Jin country is in danger at this time. Whether it can keep its position as the overlord is uncertain, let alone unify the world!"

Pausing for a while, Xia Yu hesitated whether to say so much to this "Zhao Tong" who didn't know whether he was an enemy or a friend, but this hesitation was immediately put to the back of his mind, because Xia Yu was also restrained It's been too long.

When he first learned about the mission from the weirdo, and when he first came to this world, Xia Yu was still very ambitious. As a skilled player, he already had in his heart "reform the law and strengthen the country, rule the army and strengthen the army", and then The strategy of "sweeping the Quartet and unifying the world" has been planned over and over again in his mind, but the reality is that although he can be said to be on the rise in Qi, and he was awarded the title of Shaobao at such a young age, everyone just regards him as someone who is very good at fighting. Let alone the strategy of governing the country, even he has to be careful in making a military strategy for fear of being labeled by Tian Xu and others and taking the opportunity to suppress him.

You know, in "National War", he got into the ruling position, okay?You know we don't just know how to fight, okay?

It's a pity that this can't be said, and no one will listen to it, so Xia Yu is actually quite depressed. At this time, there is an "enemy" who doesn't know his identity, and it's rare to be able to speak freely. Xia Yu doesn't want to bear it anymore. , directly poured out the accumulation in his chest, and said: "Young master thinks that the world is in chaos today, and since the Spring and Autumn Period, the countries have been fighting endlessly. What is the root cause?"

All kinds of theories heard in Jixia Academy popped out of the young master's convincing mind in an instant, people's desires, people's hearts are chaotic, rituals and music are broken, etc., and randomly feel that these answers are unreliable. Mr. "Smart Youth" will feel even more unreliable.

While hesitating, Xia Yu answered her own question, saying: "The reason why the nations are fighting endlessly is that no powerful nation can rule the world."

At this time, Young Master Furen was not as shocked as he was just now when he heard the words "unify the world". He pondered for a while, his eyes were thoughtful, and after a while, Young Master Furen said: "What you said, sir, is too appalling."

Xia Yu smiled, with a long look in his eyes, and then said: "It's shocking to rule the world, isn't the feudalism of Duke Zhou in the old days not shocking?"

The young master frowned, and said, "What do you mean by this, Mr.?"

Xia Yu looked down at the "international map" made of stones, and put another small stone in front of the stone representing Jin and the stone representing Chu, and said, "Here, Mr. Zhou."

The young master Furen looked at the small stone, feeling a little bit in his heart. The founding monarch of the Yan Kingdom was the son of King Wen of Zhou, Zhao Gongshi, who was also of the blood of Ji. The narrow Zhou family between the vast lands of Jin and Chu could not help feeling a little sad.

There is a saying that the names and surnames of a few lines of history are in a hurry, the country is strong and the country is weak, and the film passes by.

Xia Yu, however, ignored the young master's convincing feelings, pointed to the stone representing the Zhou family, and said, "In the past, when King Wu defeated Zhou and Zhou destroyed Yin and Shang, my Chinese ancestors were only as powerful as Shanxi...not... However, if a country is as big as Zhongshan, it is Xia and Shang counting forward. When it was not dead, its power was only ten thousand hectares. When it came to the feudalism of Duke Zhou, thousands of countries were enfeoffed, large and small, which expanded the rule of the entire Chinese civilization. The whole continent."

Then Xia Yu pointed to the stone representing Qi State, and said, "Divide Qi State to the east, and its power extends to the East China Sea", pointing to the stone representing Yan State, and said, "Divide Yan State to the north, and initially touch the northeast", pointing to the stone representing Yan State, and said, Pointing to the stone representing the state of Chu, he said, "Divide the state of Chu to the south and control the Yangtze River Basin." Pointing to the stone representing the state of Qin, he said, "Divide the state of Qin to the west and initially rule the northwest border."

Then Xia Yu put both hands in front of this "stone map", made a grasping movement, and said: "It was from the beginning of Duke Zhou's feudalism that China really became the most powerful nation on this land. Duke Zhou's feudalism began, and I, Huaxia, really held this continent firmly in my hands."
