Chapter 1 wedge

In 256 BC, just after Bailu, there was a dense frost and fog, and the weather suddenly became cold. Frost's descent at the beginning of August, the season is surly and the world is out of order.Although ordinary common people are not familiar with such mysteries of heaven and man, they can clearly see the changes in the year.For more than ten years, there have been continuous wars, and the world has become weak and lost its shape. How can the laws and seasons of heaven not be chaotic?First, Yan Qi fought hard for six years, and the two countries declined at the same time.Followed by the two powerful soldiers of Qin and Zhao, Zhao Guo was dying in the bloody battle of Changping.Suddenly, in the middle of the Warring States period, Qin, Zhao, Qiyan, who were known as the top four in the world, all declined, and the world suddenly lost its glory.The vast battlefield where the armies confronted each other was silent, the wide official roads where the envoys criss-crossed were deserted, the wave of refugees fleeing poverty and war disappeared, and the noisy passes where merchants and travelers intersected were also deserted.Tired of fighting, tired of looking at the sky, even the elephants in the vast jungles north and south of the Dahe River hibernate in the cols.The big and small countries, the strong and the weak are all panting heavily like old cows, and they don't even have the strength to scream at their old enemies.

For the first time, the World of the Warring States Period, where the world was turned upside down, entered the thrilling canyon of silence. However, on this cold autumn day, the Yanzhao border was sparsely populated, and the Yanzhao official road drawn from the northern mountains like a silver thread was buried in a vast gauze tent as soon as it entered the Yishui River Valley, and the early morning sun became red and chaotic.At this moment, a clear and intense sound of horseshoes came like torrential rain, and suddenly swept from the northern official road into the valley and mountain pass.After making two turns, a burst of laughter suddenly swayed from the high place, and the vast frost dance was the sound of the sky!Suddenly, the steed let out a long neigh, and the sound of hoofbeats subsided suddenly, and the knight shouted and asked: "Where is the master? Show up and speak!"

"Cai Ze Liyan, where do you want to go?" The voice in the clouds was thick and distant. "Who are you? Know my name, Cai Ze!" "Luo Tuo never met, Yanshan Cai Ze also. How could Tang Ju not know?" The knight burst into laughter: "It turned out to be Tang Juye, a master of Yi Xue. He cut off the road halfway, but why?" "Going south in a hurry, it's too hasty." The voice fell, and a figure was already standing on the big rock opposite the knight. He could vaguely see a green robe, a bamboo hat, and a bamboo stick, clearly a hermit from the world.

"What do you mean by Tang Ju's words? Cai Ze doesn't know." The red knight smiled disdainfully. "Weak crown left home, lobbied the princes for fifteen years without meeting each other, and he didn't think about the reason?" "The world is in a daze, and if you don't know my long-term plans and great plans, how can there be others!" The green-robed man laughed loudly: "To blame others, but not to blame yourself, Confucius and Mencius are so pedantic." "Tang Ju!" The knight blushed and pointed at the horsewhip, "Do you think my Ji Ran family is the same as Confucius and Mencius's?"

"Ji Ran's study emphasizes economics and despises the legal system, which is completely different from Qin State." The knight's face changed suddenly, and he jumped off the horse and arched: "Why did you teach me, sir?" The man in the green robe tapped his bamboo stick: "Qin established the country with the rule of law, and the rule of Qin is based on the consolidation of the law. After the law is solidified, it is a long-term strategy. If the law is consolidated and the country is prosperous, Xianyang will be able to stand." The knight's face suddenly changed again: "Sir, what you said, could it be that you are planning a retreat for Fan Ju?"

"Cai Ze's so-called big-hearted people." The green-robed old man smiled leisurely and turned away. "Wait a minute!" The knight bowed deeply, "Sir, it was my plan, thank you for that. However, Cai Ze still has a request." "The old man knows everything." The knight's voice was high-spirited: "Mr. Wen De is easy to learn and profound, and he is like a god in dealing with people. Zeng Prime Minister Li Dui will be Zhao Guo's prime minister within a hundred days, and it has come true. Cai Ze dares to ask you to be a prime minister."

The face of the green-robed man sank: "A real man should do what he should. Predicting good or bad is not the way of a celebrity." "Sir, you're short!" the knight smiled proudly, "Cai Ze doesn't worry about failure in his career, so why do he seek to predict good or bad? What I worry about is that life is too short. Please tell me, sir, how long is Cai Ze's life expectancy?" "In this case, the old man will be a physicist for once." His eyes swept over the knight, and the green-robed man smiled leisurely, "The shape and features of his feet are unique: a thick nose, an unusually short neck, and tall shoulders. The knees are crooked, the eyebrows and eyes are congested, but the complexion is black and red. This phase is called 'face frowning', and it is a different person with a different appearance, and can enjoy a long life." The knight twisted his horsewhip carelessly with both hands, and shook his head disapprovingly: "The theory of longevity is vague and indeterminate, it should not come from the master's mouth. It is estimated that the period of a hundred days can be measured, how can the word 'high' be used for life?" The old man is blunt: from now on, I have forty-three years to live, and I will die at the age of seventy-eight." The knight suddenly laughed: "Wear a seal, tie a purple ribbon, and have fat teeth. Forty-three years is enough!"

The green-robed old man tapped his bamboo stick: "However, I have one more word..." "I don't need my master's advice on matters of merit." The knight interrupted with a cupped hand, said his farewell and flew onto his horse.With a long neigh, the snow-white horse galloped away like lightning.The green-robed man watched for a while, then shook his head and sighed, disappeared into the Yunwu Mountain. Ten days later, Cai Ze entered Xianyang and lived in Yanshan Club in Shangshangfang.Social apartment, business company apartment also.This Yanshan apartment is the apartment of Yanguo Commercial Company.At this time, the merchants of Yan Kingdom were shrinking, and the Yan merchants in Xianyang were far from the momentum they had when King Yanzhao was.Unexpectedly, famous people from the old country moved in, and the Yan merchants couldn't help being overjoyed, so they donated gold and feasted, and invited the famous big merchants from the six countries and Shandong celebrities who lived in Xianyang one after another, and they continued to have an elegant lingering with Cai Ze.This Cai Ze is also outstanding. The first banquet was full of high-spirited speeches: "Jimo war, Yan Qi two decline. Changping war, Qin Zhao two decline. If there is no new method of transformation, Qin will not be able to rise again!" A scholar asked Mr. Ambition, this Cai Ze is even more shocking: "Fan Ju, Prime Minister of Qin, can be replaced!"

There was an uproar at the table.In just a few days, Cai Ze's ambition to openly seek the prime minister of the state of Qin spread in Xianyang alleys and became an anecdote that shocked the people of Qin.When the news reached the prime minister's mansion, Fan Ju smiled: "There are so many geniuses in the madman, this person is worth seeing." So, the elder was ordered to drive a bronze chariot with a six-foot canopy, and invited the Yan National celebrity. Cai Ze, on the other hand, was free and unrestrained. He got off the car without waiting for an announcement. Standing in the foyer, he burst into laughter: "Where is Ying Hou? Yanshan Cai Ze is here!" He walked leisurely into the lights of the hatchback waving his peculiar looped steps.As he entered the third large courtyard, there was a burst of laughter coming from the swaying wind lamp: "Fly your wings before flying, and it must be Honghu from Yanshan Mountain who has heard it for three thousand miles!" With the laughter, he saw A commoner strode forward with scattered clothes.Cai Ze cupped his hands and said in a loud voice: "Its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky, how can it fly high without vibrating?" Fan Sui couldn't help laughing: "Shocking words, there is no one better in the world!" Cai Ze said Suddenly he laughed: "Don't you dare? It's just a guilty conscience and bold words." Fan Ju said with a teasing smile: "The old man praises him as a swan, but he thinks that he is a Kunpeng in Beiming. Cai Ze then bowed solemnly: "I don't dare to use an axe, I'm here to speak to the Prime Minister." Fan Ju held his hands up and said with a smile: "Since I came prepared, let's talk in the hall."

Entering the hall, Fan Ju ordered the maid to make tea.Cai Ze shrugged his nose and said with a smile: "Qin has Taiyi Mountain, the fragrance of this tea is considered pure." Fan Ju said, "If you drink Taiyi tea, you will be from Qin." Cai Ze shook his head: "Not necessarily, not necessarily, I’m a man of Yan, even if I cook fat sheep for stew.” Fan Ju laughed and said, “If you’re doing Qin’s affairs, you’re a Qin man, so why do you care about cooking sheep for tea?” Cai Ze shook his head again, “Not necessarily. Not necessarily. Ying Hou has worked for Qin for more than ten years, could he be from Qin?" While speaking, the maid brought up hot tea, and Fan Ju raised his hand to make an empty request, and then smiled leisurely: "Mr. It’s because I have something to say in my heart. I don’t want to say anything. I will listen to you with all my heart.”

Cai Ze breathed deeply into the steaming tea smell coming out of the big pottery cup, and then he said with a leisurely smile: "Yinghou is a master of the world, why is he so slow in seeing things?" Seeing Fan Sui, he only smiled Staring at himself, he smiled again, "There are four seasons in the sky, and people have metabolism. Those who succeed will retreat, and those who come later will advance. Do you think so?" Fan Ju snorted, but still didn't speak. "A strong body and a lofty state of mind, should be the life of a celebrity, should you take it for granted?" "..." "Make meritorious deeds, pass on the praises for thousands of years, and there will be no disasters in life, but is life a good thing?" "..." Cai Ze was very embarrassed, and finally he was not willing to talk to himself without answering questions. He tapped on the table with his slender fingers and said, "For five hundred years, there is no hero who has made a powerful country in the world more than Wen Zhong of Yue. , Wu Qi of Chu, and Shang Yang of Qin. However, all three of them died tragically due to their meritorious deeds, and their lingering regrets lingered. A closer look at the administration and administration of the three of them shows that they are all talented in making meritorious deeds, and they are not well-established. Although their achievements are engraved in history books, they are not great It is a pity that virtue is passed on to future generations." "Kunpeng is lofty with one step, but what is a great virtue handed down from generation to generation?" Fan Sui smiled teasingly. "Successful achievement is the great virtue of a famous scholar!" Cai Ze's words flourished. To make meritorious deeds, you should focus on the whole body. If you die, you will be half of your life, which is far from the perfection of the sages, and it is not enough to imitate!" "Based on Kunpeng's high opinion, in the past 500 years, who is worthy of emulation?" "Before there was Tao Zhu Gong Fan Li, and later there was Wu Xinjun Zhang Yi. After achieving success and enjoying the bliss of life, it is all merit and virtue." With a sound of "snap!", Fan Sui jumped up against the case: "Cai Ze is absurd! A man does not take the rise and fall of the world as his own responsibility, but his personal safety as the highest. How can he talk about passing down great virtues? Wen Zhongzhi is more peaceful and peaceful, and he would rather commit suicide than follow his fate." Fan Li retired. Wu Qi changed Chu, knowing that he was the enemy of the nobles but did not avoid murder. Shang Jun changed Qin, and would rather take the disaster of killing himself to stop the internal chaos in Qin. These three people had no second thoughts, and they did not care about public affairs and selfishness. It is better to be burdened and subjugate oneself than to ruin the government and harm the people, and to make sacrifices rather than mess up the government and harm the country. This can be called the highest demeanor of great virtue and a model of loyalty through the ages! , Dogs and flies camp in the mountains, wild forests and springs, and there are people who regard them as all merits and virtues, which really makes Fan Ju feel ashamed. He claims to be a Kunpeng, but insists on the rhetoric of a bird in the tent, so he wants to take Fan Ju and replace him. This Qin country has been sealed." Cai Ze's face was flushed, but he laughed vigorously: "In the opinion of the Marquis, what is a celebrity?" "It's hard to die with righteousness, and die for the world!" Fan Sui tossed eight words between his teeth, waved his sleeves, "The old man sees off the guests." Then he went on his own.Cai Ze was stunned in embarrassment and was at a loss for a moment, until the old man asked Mr. to please, he followed the old man out panicked. It was Yeyue and the stars were scarce, Fan Ju was disturbed by Cai Ze, so he strolled by the pool in the back garden and daydreamed.Just wandering around, I heard a burst of laughter in the whirling bamboo forest: "Looking at the water, the heart is in the mountains, forests and springs." Fan Sui couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard the sound: "It turns out that brother Tang Ju has arrived, no wonder the wind is clear and the moon is bright!" With the laughter, An old man in green robes walked out of the bamboo grove, and arched his bamboo stick with his hands: "I am used to being an uninvited guest, and I have disturbed Fan Shu's joy." Fan Ju laughed and said: "I am worrying and thinking hard, where is the joy? Let's go, The study is clean, and I've had a good drink." Tang Ju said with a smile: "I made an appointment with someone to travel, but I didn't drink. I just came here along the way, just to give you a wonderful book for your bookworm's entertainment." Fan Ju said Sighing: "Even if there is a strange book, why don't you have a lump in your chest?" Tang Ju untied a green cloth bag from his back and handed it over: "Just read this book, but you can keep Fan Shu's mind clear." Fan Ju took the green cloth with both hands Juan smiled and said, "That's fine. Brother Tang has always been a god who never sees the end, so the wine will be made up later." Tang Ju laughed loudly, said goodbye, and disappeared into the bamboo forest. Fan Ju didn't ask any questions, and went back to the study leisurely.Under the lamp, I opened the blue cloth bundle, and saw a thick roll of bamboo slips, which was carefully tied with hemp rope. Untie the knots and shake the bamboo slips. As soon as I unrolled them, I saw five large characters on the title—Comment on Ji Ran Book!Fan Juda was amazed, but upon closer inspection, this volume of slips was extraordinary: the Wei compilation was extremely delicate and exquisite, and when he touched it with his hands, there was no leather knot on the back of the bamboo slips; the purple bamboo slips were engraved with large characters, and the green bamboo slips were engraved with comments. Small characters, purple and green, different literary reviews, exceptionally concise and refreshing; the bamboo slips are polished extremely smooth, and painted with a blue (sky) and yellow (earth) respectively. The blue and yellow heaven and earth occasionally have eyebrows, but they are cinnabar. Writing, hanging above the white stone-powdered inscriptions in the middle of the knife, is like inlaid with red pearls and jade on the white wall, which is refreshing and pleasing to the eye.Fan Ju was born as a book official, and he is proficient in the affairs of the study room. One can tell at a glance that this book is the only masterpiece of the painstaking efforts of high-ranking celebrities, otherwise he would not be so particular about it.According to the essence of the production of this book, there should be a copper or wooden letter on the outside, but there is no such thing. It must be a pity that Tang Ju removed the letter because it was inconvenient to bear.However, what really surprised Fan Ju was not the elaborate book-style production, but the reappearance of this strange book that had been lost for hundreds of years, and someone so meticulously commented on it! Ji Ran was originally a resourceful genius in the state of Jin in the late Spring and Autumn Period.When this person traveled to Wu and Yue, he took a commoner named Fan Li as his student.This Fan Li later became a senior doctor of the Yue Kingdom, assisting the Yue King Gou Jian to avenge and destroy Wu and achieved a generation of hegemony. Later, he retreated and went boating on lakes and seas. Wealthy, he was called Tao Zhugong by merchants.This "Book of Ji Ran" is a compilation of the speeches of his teacher Ji Ran after Fan Li's retirement, and based on his own opinions. The book has seven strategies and more than 8,000 words, which is a method of getting rich.Wealthy countries and rich people are well-written. Business travelers all over the world call it the "Peerless Rich Book", while celebrities call it "Seven Strategies for Calculation". It is such a wonderful book. For two hundred years, it has only been heard by people but not learned by others. Even in the Jixia Academy where famous scholars gather, there is no famous scholar who taught "Ji Ran Shu".This wonderful book passed down by word of mouth, like Ji Ran and Fan Li, has been lost in the ups and downs of the unpredictable human world.How could Fan Ju not be very surprised when such a strange book came out suddenly? Without thinking about it carefully, Fan Ju browsed through the ten lines at a glance.After reading a few chapters, he found that the comments on this "Ji Ran Shu" were even more peculiar than this article.This article says: "If you know the battle, you need to prepare, and when you use it, you can know the shape of things. If the two are in shape, you can get the feeling of everything." The commentary says: "There are many wars in this world, and the preparation is after the war. The great war country Lacking, only knowing how to get rich and then rise, the country can prosper. What are the four powers that are all declining? I don’t know how to repair after the war.” Following the purpose of this article, commentators will also plan to “repair and know things” "Refined into six strategies for nourishing and enriching the country: transporting goods, revitalizing all industries, leveling prices, lightening taxes, emphasizing water conservancy, and promoting agriculture and mulberry.After every strategy, there are refinements, and there are all kinds of precision and completeness!Although Fan Ju is not an economical talent, after all, he has been in power for many years, and he is still clear about the key points of the national economy and the people's livelihood. Looking at these insights, he knows that the commenter is definitely an expert in making the country rich, and he can't help but praise again and again , looked down in one breath. When the cock crowed at five o'clock, Fan Ju was still pondering over the scroll in his hands, tasting it carefully, but suddenly burst out laughing. However, when Cai Ze returned to the Yanshan apartment, the big merchants gathered to listen to the lectures, thinking that the visit of the famous Kunpeng to the prime minister's mansion would be a blockbuster, so they all wanted to ask the uncrowned prime minister to point out the business opportunities of Qin State first.With this thought in mind, the merchants were extraordinarily generous and enthusiastic. Before Cai Ze returned, there was a feast in the main hall of the apartment, full of brocade clothes, and they talked about how to reward the famous prime minister who valued business travel.The merchants of Yan State were even more brilliant, shouting and entertaining excitedly. I didn't want Cai Ze to enter the gate with an angry expression on his face, and before he was seated, he bowed to everyone: "Fan Ju is ignorant of current affairs, Cai Ze is ashamed of you all, farewell!" He flung his red sleeves and left.The Yan merchants were very embarrassed, they were stunned for a while and hurriedly chased them out to dissuade them, but they didn't want Cai Ze to gallop away without a trace.Shandong merchants felt bored, and immediately dispersed, leaving only a few Yan merchants in a daze at the banquet full of banquets. The Pegasus galloped, and at dusk Cai Ze arrived at the Songlin Slope under the Lantian Plateau.Just as he was about to leap out of the forest, Cai Ze suddenly reined in the horse and stood in a daze - on a big bluestone under the tree in front of him, an old man in a green robe and bamboo hat was smiling leisurely at him.Cai Ze suddenly felt embarrassed, walked up and asked with a dark face, "Mister, are you laughing at me?" "Aren't you supposed to laugh?" "Cai Zegu deserves a smile, and Mister even more!" "Why should the old man laugh?" "Everyone in the Tang Ju Yixiang, it is ridiculous to predict that the fate will be completely different!" "There is such a rhetoric at this time, it is really hopeless." Tang held up a little bamboo stick and stood up, "If you don't keep your ambitions and words and actions, even if you have a destiny, it should be invisible. You can do it yourself, and this old man will say goodbye Pass." "Wait a minute." Cai Ze jumped off the horse and cupped his hands, but still asked with a dark face, "What's wrong with Cai Ze?" Tang Ju shook his head and smiled helplessly: "Zhao Liang told Shang Yang's story, can you know it with one step?" "Why don't you ask." "Don't you feel that the rhetoric of your step is the same as that of Zhao Liang?" "Dare to express it clearly." Cai Ze still had a serious and dissatisfied tone. "Zhao Liang's mistake and Cai Ze's mistake are both in persuading people to retreat bravely with the whole body. They don't know that in the history of the state, when they entered politics, they most admired the sacrifice of loyalty, integrity and righteousness, and most despised the wise and the righteous. Fan Ju recommended the unruly person twice, Harming the country and harming oneself, one already hates those who have no morals in the whole body. How can one not hit a wall with one step of making vulgar and vulgar rhetoric, but self-righteousness? As a matter of fact, a person who is interested in economics and seeking the country should face up to explain the ideas of governing Qin and declare the prosperity of the country Strategies. Those who are as observant as Fan Ju, who measure the talents of the emperor, will recommend them with all their strength. Although Fan Ju cares about grievances, he will not lose the world's mind. Otherwise, how can the lonely and proud Uncle Fan invite his step into the mansion for a meeting? The old man said it all. Think about it for yourself.” Cai Ze's face was red and white, and his surly and unruly aura suddenly swept away, and he couldn't help bowing deeply: "The master's theory, for my fifteen years of lobbying, cleared the sky. Cai Zeming is more concerned about things than others. Be sure to practice vigilantly and live up to the guidance of the master." Tang Ju smiled: "Cai Ze is destined to live in Xianyang, so why leave Qin?" "The master said that there is still hope to return to Xianyang?" "Being upright is the way of heaven." "Okay!" Cai Ze cheered up, "With the guidance of the master, Cai Ze will never make a mistake again. Farewell!" With one hand cupped, Juechen got on his horse and went away. But there was a burst of laughter from the forest: "Brother Tang, it's hard work! The good deed is over, let's go on the road." Tang Ju turned to the forest and smiled: "If this matter is successful, it all depends on the merits of that wonderful book. It’s just that I can’t compensate you.” The man in the forest laughed and said, “It’s rare to be useful, and I don’t want to be a prime minister, so what’s the use of that thing?” Tang Ju smiled as he walked, “These things are done with all my heart. Yes, in the future it will be Cai Ze himself. Let’s go, let’s go to the southern country for leisure.” After entering the pine forest for a while, I heard the sound of horses’ hoofs and carts, and they went all the way from Lantianyuan to the southeast. Besides, Cai Ze's return to Xianyang has changed drastically. The first one was to live in the Qinren Inn in the Guoren District of Xianyang, and then go out early and return late, and carefully inspect the hundred workshops of the officials and citizens of the Qin State.After watching it for three days, Cai Ze only felt that it was very beneficial, and he deeply felt that he was so manic and superficial when he got off the car.Since then, every time Cai Zeri enters the market, he has a clear understanding of Xianyang's people's livelihood and government governance.Half a month later, Cai Ze went west from Xianyang to Mei County for investigation and reconnaissance.This Mei County was originally the largest county inhabited by the old Qin people, and the most prosperous place in Guanzhong.In the twenty-eight miles of the county, there are official farmers who have worked hard and earned titles.The people of Qin called the village "li", and twenty-eight li was twenty-eight villages.Cai Ze visited mile after mile, and then spent three days in the county for surveying. After one month, he had a solid and clear understanding of Qin's farming and warfare methods.When the first heavy snowfall came, Cai Ze returned to Xianyang, and spent three days working on drafting a volume of "Six Laws of the Rich Qin". Then he had to revisit the prime minister's mansion and compete with Fan Ju. In the early morning of the fourth day, when the snowflakes were flying softly like catkins, a bronze cart rumbled to the gate of the inn.The owner of the shop hastily greeted him with a question, and immediately ran into the shop as if flying, and when he pulled Cai Ze out of the room, an official in black robes stood respectfully in the courtyard: "Mr. Palace." As he spoke, he handed over a roll of bamboo slips with both hands. "Your Excellency summoned me by the imperial edict?" Cai Ze blurted out a question. "That's right. The King of Qin is seriously ill. Please forgive me for not being polite." Although the passers-by were respectful, Cai Ze was uneasy for a while, suddenly a little dazed.This "pedestrian" was originally an official of the state of Qin in charge of diplomatic affairs, and belonged to the prime minister's office. Except for matters related to diplomatic relations, pedestrians would not directly follow the emperor's edict to handle specific affairs.Pedestrians came here today, could this matter be related to Fan Ju?If so, it is a big bad.This Fan Ju must retaliate, and cares about grievances the most, how can he speak well of himself?It must be Fan Ju's old trick again, and he wants to get rid of himself by the hand of King Qin.Fan Ju, ah, Fan Ju, as the number one prime minister in the world, how can he stand on such a mind?Cai Ze is a commoner, and he will die if he dies, but he wants to tear off your hypocrite mask in front of the King of Qin!With this in mind, Cai Ze didn't hesitate any longer, went back to his room, picked up the scroll and boarded the car with the pedestrians. After a while, the car entered the palace.Cai Ze entered the West Side Hall with his entourage, but saw an old man with white hair and white beard half-lying on the couch with a sleepy complexion, presumably he was the prestigious King Qin Zhao.Cai Ze walked forward with great strides, and then he cupped his hands in high spirits: "Cai Ze of Yanshan, please see the King of Qin." "Sir, please take a seat." The old and tired King Qin Zhao raised his hand and pointed to the big case on his right hand, waiting for Cai Ze to take his seat , just smiled indifferently, "Mr. Ren Yan has the talent of latitude and longitude, and the hardship of visiting Qin. When my great Qin is in danger, why did you teach me?" Cai Ze is extremely alert. I couldn't stand the long speeches, so I bowed my hands and went straight to the point: "Cai Ze mastered the study of enriching the country, visited Qin and drafted "Six Laws of Enriching Qin". The way." Cai Ze only thought about putting aside this topic as soon as possible, and the camera exposed Fan Ju's sinister. "Sir, you might as well speak up." Qin Zhaowang smiled lightly, but obviously wanted to continue the topic. "Generally speaking, the disadvantage of Qin's economy is that the source of wealth is blocked. After the six-year war, the treasury was empty and the people's strength was weak. The way of Qin's re-emergence is to pay equal attention to the four characters of law, wealth, strength, and Qing, just like the stability of four horses and iron carts." Flying too." Cai Ze finished in a few sentences, just waiting for an opportunity to change the subject. However, King Qin Zhao's old eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately asked, "What does it mean that the source of wealth is blocked?" "Qin's wealth lies in the accumulation of nearly a hundred years. The slow accumulation is far less than the rapid consumption of the war. The reason for this is that the source of wealth is blocked and the access channels are not smooth. But in the case of continuous wars, the expenditure is much greater than the annual income. Once If you can’t win quickly, or if you can’t plunder wealth from the defeated country, your vitality will decline. What do you mean by blocking the source of wealth? First, relying on foreign merchants to circulate goods and goods, restricting the business market of Chinese people, and cutting off the source of business and travel taxes; First, the power of the people to cultivate cannot grow, and taxes cannot be expanded; third, they only know how to reward farming and war, but they don’t know how to reward birth, and the source of population is not smooth. The King of Qin can see for himself." Cai Ze had nothing to ask for, so he said it in a free and easy way. "What did you say about the iron cart with four horses?" King Qin Zhao still had something to say. "Qin established the country with the rule of law, but only the law cannot make the world. In addition to strengthening the law, it is necessary to be rich, strong, and clean in order to be prosperous for a long time. A rich country depends on open source, the strong lies in the people, and the clean lies in the officials. The legal system Consolidation, rich resources, large population, clear government, this is called a four-horse. With this four-horse driving the chariot of the state, why fear defeat in one battle or two." "Okay! Yinghou didn't miss it this time." As soon as he sat down on the couch, King Qin Zhao suddenly stood up, "Mr. Wrong is temporarily a guest, how about assisting the prime minister in handling state affairs?" Suddenly, Cai Ze's heart lit up, and he immediately bowed deeply: "Cai Ze is ordered!" After leaving the palace, Cai Ze didn't have the heart to deal with various matters such as the Yinxin mansion, but immediately came to the prime minister's mansion to visit Fan Ju, and wanted to make a candid confession.Unexpectedly, the secretary of the Xiangfu said that the prime minister had gone to inspect the counties and counties, and left a book before he left, telling Cai Ze to open it if he came.Cai Ze immediately opened the book, but there were only two lines of big characters: After a long time of silence, Cai Ze bowed deeply to the letter, said please hold the book for a while, and left in a hurry.When he came to the palace, Cai Ze invited the King of Qin.The Minister of History, who was guarding the study of the royal family, took out a scroll of bamboo slips, saying that the King of Qin asked him to read it before making a decision.Cai Ze felt strange, and opened the bamboo slip nervously, but was stunned: Cai Ze sighed and sighed, then bowed his hands to Chang Shi: "Please forward to the King of Qin: Although Cai Ze can temporarily act in the prime minister's office, he is willing to respond to the position of Hou Lingxiang, Cai Zefu can." Chang Shi smiled and said: " It turns out that the King of Qin wants the Lord to make a decision, but there is no need to report it." After thinking about it for a while, Cai Ze realized that it must be the King of Qin who couldn't keep Fan Ju, but let himself act accordingly. After noon, Cai Ze didn't say any more, he left the palace and whipped his horse, and when he got out of the east gate of Xianyang, he came straight to Lantianyuan.
