The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

One month later, at the beginning of spring, the people in Yueyang County were very happy because the government was going to allocate their fields to them and distribute farm tools and seeds. The people held the farm tools and seeds distributed to them by Photovoltaic in their hands. An old man said:"The government in Wei State is really good. It not only distributed 100 acres of land to each of our households, but also distributed us seeds and farm tools. Where is such a good government?" You can find it."

Wei Yang stood in the field and watched the people farming with the newly distributed farm tools. Wei Yang smiled. Wei Yang walked in the fields and watched the people farming. He felt very satisfied in his heart. He felt that he was getting closer to success and closer to his ideal. When the people saw Wei Yang, they also greeted him one after another.

Returning to the county magistrate's office, he also saw the order issued from the county seat, which stated the taxes to be paid this year. Shang Yang thought in his heart that if the people of Qin had just distributed the land and started collecting taxes this year, it might cause dissatisfaction among the people of Qin, so he wrote a letter to Anyi, hoping that the Marquis of Wei could be tax-free for a few years.

At this time, a soldier came in and said:"Your Excellency, the county magistrate, the county guard has arrived outside Yueyang County." Shang Yang was very happy when he heard that the young master was coming. After all, his friends were coming, so he had to make preparations. It was time for the meal, so Shang Yang said quickly, go and ask the kitchen to prepare the meal and entertain our county guard."——yes.

Outside the county magistrate's house, Wei Yang was waiting outside the door. Finally, Young Master Ang arrived. After Young Master Ang got out of the car, Wei Yang walked up quickly and said,"I have seen the Sheriff." Young Master Ang helped him up. He smiled and said,"Brother Yang, why should you be so polite? We are all good friends. We don't have too many etiquettes." Afterwards, the two of them entered the house. Young Master Ang said,"I heard that Brother Yang is very popular among the people in Liyang. He is so awesome." It’s hard work that pays off""It's just for the country and the people, how can it be a great achievement?"——Hahaha~~, the two of them laughed together.

In the room, meat soup and wine had been placed on several tables. The two of them sat at separate tables. Wei Yang raised his glass and said,"Brother Ang, cheers to the State of Wei!""Okay, cheers to the State of Wei!" Young Master Ang Let’s raise a toast and drink together. Wei Yang then said,"Brother Ang, I have something to ask of you today." Young Master Ang smiled and said,"Brother Yang, you and I are as close as brothers. If you need anything, just tell me and I will try my best to help you." After hearing this, Wei Yang said , said:"I hope that Brother Ang will go to the court and ask you to reduce the taxes of Guanzhong County for two years."

Upon hearing this, Young Master Ang said distressedly:"Brother Yang, when I took office, I told my brother , asking him to reduce the taxes in Guanzhong County for one year is fine, but my brother just doesn’t agree!" When

Wei Yang heard that the young master was angry, he had no choice but to suddenly think:"Why don’t we ask His Highness the Crown Prince to help us?"……""Are you talking about the prince? You can also go to the prince. I will write a letter tomorrow asking His Highness to intercede for our Guanzhong County."Young Master Ang said. Wei Yang immediately raised his hands and said,"Then please leave it to Brother Ang. Young Master

Ang said with a smile:"Brother Ang, according to your talent, you may become the prime minister in just a few years.""——drink!

In the prince's palace, Wei Shen received a letter from Prince Ang. After reading it, Wei Shen said to Wang Xiao:"Wang Xiao, go ask the Prime Minister, Uncle Cui"——obey. Wei Shen thought to himself: If you want your father to agree to this, you have to make your father happy. So what can you do to make your father happy?

Gongshu Cuo also received the invitation from Wei Shen and said to Wang Xiao:"Sir, please tell His Highness the Crown Prince that I will come over immediately." Wang Xiao bowed and said:"Then please invite the Prime Minister and His Highness the Crown Prince."——good.

Wei Shen was thinking hard when the guards came in and reported:"The Prime Minister is here.""Oh, wake up quickly, the Prime Minister is coming in."Wei Shen said——yes. After a while, Gongshu Cuo came in and paid his respects, and said,"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince." Wei Shen said quickly,"Prime Minister, please get up." Gong Shu Cuo stood up and asked,"Your Highness, what is the purpose of calling me here this time? Wei Shen replied:"Prime Minister, you know that Guanzhong County has just developed and the people are poor. I want Guanzhong County to be tax-free for three years. What do you think of the Prime Minister?""It is indeed very good to give Guanzhong County tax exemption, but Your Majesty I don’t quite agree." Uncle Gong replied.

Both of them fell into deep thought. Finally, Gongshu Cuo said:"Didn't your Highness the Prince get two Oriental Orbs from Qi State a month ago? Your Majesty likes jewelry, so if you give him those two Oriental Orbs, naturally, Then I can make your Majesty happy, and then I can propose to give Guanzhong County tax exemption for three years." After hearing this, Wei Shen was indeed satisfied and agreed with Gongshu Cuo's opinion. Wei Shen said:"I will go to see my father tonight."

At night, the hall was brightly lit, just like daytime. In the main hall of the palace, Wei Hou Wei was admiring the graceful figure of the dancer. Wei Hou drank one cup after another. A guard came in and said:"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince wants to see you.

" When Wei Hou heard that his son was coming, he said:" Call the prince to come in." After a while, Wei Shen came in and saluted and said,"I have met my father." The Marquis of Wei saw Wei Shen and asked,"Shen'er, what are you doing tonight?" Wei Shen saw that the Marquis of Wei was half drunk, and thought in his heart Great joy. Once a person is half drunk, he will easily agree to anything he says.

Wei Shen replied:"Father, I am here to present two pearls to my father. These two pearls are as big as chicken eggs. They emit bursts of light at night and are white and tinged with red. They are really rare treasures in the world." Hearing this, he stood up quickly and said,"Where are the pearls?"

Wei Shen took out a wooden box from his arms. After opening the wooden box, two rare pearls appeared in front of everyone. Everyone praised the pearl for its dazzling brilliance. Seeing such a dazzling pearl, Marquis Wei laughed and said,"Okay, it is really a rare pearl in the world. Please bring it up quickly." Marquis Wei said happily.

After the guard presented the pearl, Marquis Wei took a pearl in his hand, looked at it carefully for a while, and said to Wei Shen:"Shen'er, tell your father what kind of reward you want, and your father will definitely agree.."

Wei Shen immediately said:"I don't want any reward, I just hope that my father will agree. Guanzhong County will be exempted from taxes for three years." Because of his stomach and throat, he drank wine and got such a rare treasure in the world, so he didn't even think about it. I thought about it and agreed.

Then he took out the imperial seal, stamped it, and handed the imperial edict to Wei Shen. Wei Shen was secretly happy after getting it. After thanking him quickly, he went home.

After returning home, Wei Shen sent the imperial edict to Guanzhong County. Wang Xiao came over and said:"Your Highness, according to reports from our informants in Qi State, Qi State's 100,000 troops are about to attack Song State. We Do you still want to go to Qi State?""Of course I have to go, how can I not go? Qi State is such a big city as Linzi, how can I not go to Qi State because of the war." Wei Shen said——obey. Finally, Wei Shen said:"Wang Xiao, tell the people over there in Qi that if they find Sun Bin, they will kill him immediately."""yes."Wang Xiao said.

Fifteen days later, the county had received the imperial edict from Anyi. After receiving it, Prince Ang was overjoyed. He quickly ordered:"The whole county will not collect any taxes for three years."

Wei Guochaotang. The Marquis of Wei received the news from Qi and asked after reading it:"My lords, Qi is going to send troops to attack Song. What should we, Wei, do? Pang Cong stood up and said:"

Your Majesty, I think that Qi State's attack on Song Dynasty should not be interfered with by Wei State. In order to attack Song Dynasty, Qi State specially sent 100,000 martial arts soldiers. The army has strong combat effectiveness. The most important thing is that Qi State has elite troops." Qi is out and the country is empty. Chu will definitely take this opportunity to attack Qi. Therefore, it is best for me to not interfere with Qi's affairs and let the two tigers of Qi and Chu fight. We, Wei, can only watch the fire from the other side.

After hearing this, Marquis Wei said nothing and asked Pang Juan:"General Pang, what do you think of this matter?" Pang

Juan stood up and replied:"Your Majesty, I think that Wei State cannot take charge of this matter of Qi State, because the land that Wei State has just acquired has not yet been fully transformed into the national power of Wei State, so I think it is inappropriate to take charge of it."

After hearing this, Marquis Wei did not say anything, so he asked Wu Tong:"Wu Sima, what do you think?" Wu Tong stood up and said, Your Majesty, I think it is best for Wei State to recuperate and develop production. As for Qi State, as Dr. Pang Cong said, Chu State will definitely attack Qi State while Qi State is empty. Therefore, we All Wei needs to do is watch the fire from across the bank." The Marquis of Wei said with a smile:"We are a great country with more than 100,000 elite soldiers and 300,000 soldiers. Why should we be afraid of Qi? Qi's army is nothing more than this. The soldiers of Wei State are invincible in the world, why can't they attack Qi State?"

Wu Tong said again:"The king and his ministers understand Qi State. First, Qi State has the advantage of fish and salt, and the country is rich; second, Qi State is rich in fish and salt. The 100,000 martial arts warriors trained this time are also rare elite soldiers in the world, and their elites are no less than those of Wei soldiers. The third is what we, Wei, can gain by attacking Qi. The fourth is Tian Shou, the general of Qi. This person uses troops It's also very good. Although his reputation is greater than his talent, this man once made great achievements in the war against the three kingdoms of Song, Lu and Chu. He fought against Song, annihilated the 40,000-strong army of Song, captured five cities of Song, and fought against Lu. At that time, he annihilated Lu's 20,000-strong army and forced Lu to completely surrender to Qi. During the war against Chu, he annihilated Chu's 70,000-strong army and captured nearly ten cities of Chu. At that time, Chu had led an army of 100,000 to attack Qi. The state of Qi sent Tian Shou as general and defeated the invasion of the state of Chu. If the state of Wei went to fight with the state of Qi, even if it won, it would be a miserable defeat, and it would not get the land of the state of Song. It would be better to let the state of Qi fight with the state of Qi. The two countries of Chu are in conflict. We, the State of Wei, are watching the fire from across the bank and waiting for the opportunity. We will wait until both sides are injured before attacking."

After hearing this, Marquis Wei said:"According to Sima's wishes, Qi State's Tian Shou is pretty good with his troops. We have to wait until they are all together. When the state of Chu and the state of Chu fought until both sides were injured, we, the state of Wei, went to harvest again.""Exactly."Wu Tong said. Wei Hou thought for a while and said, then he will follow Sima's words and not go to Guangqi to attack Song Dynasty."——Your Majesty is Holy Ming.
