Zhuangzi is not good at words in front of strangers and unfamiliar people, and he also has a defensive mentality.
This is due to the influence of Taoist doctrines, and people who learn Taoism are generally like this, and do not dare to associate with others casually, so as not to be taken advantage of.
When they get to know a person and get acquainted with a person, they take the initiative.
Zhuangzi is such a person, he is familiar with you, and when he understands each other, he will reveal his true form.
He is a little naughty, humorous, open-mouthed, and has no manners.
If you tell him anything, he won't associate with you, thinking that you are restraining him and restricting other people's human freedom I haven't affected your life, why don't you ask me so much, why don't I get along with you If you get caught up with him, he may see you as an enemy.
If you dare to threaten him and scare him into killing him, he may kill you first.
What are you doing, what are you doing, I'll kill you After getting acquainted with Wei Ying, Zhuangzi became even more open-mouthed.
"My master said that in troubled times, we must first define what chaos is, and only when it is determined that it is chaos can it be called chaos Now this world is the way of troubled times, just for troubled times, I won't say more, the Zhou system has been abolished, the Great Zhou Dynasty existed in name only, and the world was divided by the seven princes.
Now the key is that you can't be the king or the hegemon, especially those small vassal states, you don't want to be the king and hegemon, and others want to destroy you, seize your land, expand your territory, increase your strength, in fact, fighting for land is secondary, this is very important."
Speaking of this, Zhuangzi lowered his voice and reminded him very cautiously: "What's the use of having so much land, the northern nomads, their land is wide, it's endless, but what's the use, isn't it, so the land area is useless, you want resources and strength, and when it comes to the point, what you want is the population, food, copper and iron."
Qin Xiaogong, who was sitting at the door eavesdropping, listened and nodded incessantly.
That's true, what is the use of you saying that you want so much land without the army to protect it, and you can't hold on to the land you take there.
The key is to have strength, strength comes from the size of the population, and without the population, where does the strength come from.
In addition, if you have no resources, no food and weapons, no matter how large your population is, it will be in vain.
The hearts of the people are not in harmony, foreign enemies invade, and your country is devastated "In a word, strength, population, food, and resources determine strength, and what really determines strength is people's hearts."
Turning around, Zhuangzi spoke to the hearts of the people again.
Qin Xiaogong listened and nodded incessantly. sighed in my heart: talent, talent, he is talented, he is a big person, twenty years old, twenty years old, there is such a great talent, tsk, tsk "The State of Qin is a country where the Chu State and the Three Jin Dynasty bully and grew up, and the successive wars have inspired the fighting spirit of the old Qin people, so we must maintain this fighting spirit.
Enrich the country first, and then strengthen the army.
It is necessary to always publicize the news of the use of troops by other vassal states to the old Qin people, so that the old Qin people have a sense of hatred for the surrounding vassal states, so that they always have a sense of mission to protect their families and defend the country If you only enrich the country but not strengthen the army, the old Qin people will lose their fighting spirit and will be content with pleasure.
They will have a kind of thought, the enemy comes in, what does it matter to me, whoever is the king, it is not the same, they still don't let the people live, isn't it, so we must let the old Qin people always maintain a sense of distress?"
Hearing this, Qin Xiaogong nodded vigorously again.
The attendant standing on the side was also excited when he saw the appearance of the lord.
"The main task of the Qin State at present is to enrich the country, to develop the population, and to produce more grain in a variety of places as a strategic reserve.
Then there is a strong army, then there is waiting for the opportunity, and then there is making excuses.
Once the surrounding vassal states take action against the Great Qin State, they will immediately find an excuse to show their military strength, raise the prestige of our army, and then send a letter to Guguan in the east, step by step, and dominate the world."
Enriching the country, strengthening the army, and working step by step are the three key points of Zhuangzi.
If you want to dominate the world and have long-term peace and stability, it is impossible without a few decades, the key is the hearts of the people, you occupy it, there are your people, and you have to let the people there live a prosperous life.
This is a rich country, and then there is a strong army.
You need to have an army as reliable as the old Qin people to protect your people.
You must make your people willing to defend their homes and lands with their lives, so that the army will be invincible.
If your army is only for the power and dominance of the king, and ignores the interests of the people and the life and death, then the morale of the army will be chaotic.
No one would be stupid enough to die for someone else.
Let them protect their families and defend the country, thanks to their relatives, they are willing to die, and they will not be afraid of death, this is the people's heart.
When your strength can crush everything, when the people you manage are living better than the people of other vassal states, then it will be the desire of the people.
You don't need to use your troops to conquer, and the princes of other people's countries will have civil strife, and the people will consciously rise up and rebel and defect to you.
What Zhuangzi said made Qin Xiaogong suddenly.
Qin Gong stood up and prepared to go in to see Zhuangzi, but he felt that this was not good.
After all, you've eavesdropped on someone's speech.
In front of people who pay attention to etiquette, I still feel disdainful.
So he stepped aside, gave a few words to his attendants, and went back.
After Qin Gong left, the attendant came over to pass the word.
"Gong Qin heard that you are here, you are the inheritor of Taoist Yang Zhu, you must let me take you over" "Duke Qin invites me to come over, I, I, I" Zhuangzi heard it, and no matter how Wei Ying persuaded him, he just didn't go.
"I'm still a child, what virtue do I have, how can I go, if it reaches those ministers of your Qin State, it won't be a joke, and I don't want to be an official in Qin State, I won't go."
"When your master passed by the Qin Kingdom before, the Duke of Qin found out about it, and asked me to send someone to send a lot of money to give you a settlement fee, but I didn't find you.

You see, out of courtesy, you should also go and pay a visit and thank you."
"I'm a Taoist, not a Confucian, I don't talk about etiquette, I only talk about self-nature, I don't go, I don't go."
"You, if you refuse, you will be a child, and you will not dare to see life," Wei Ying said excitedly.
"I'm just a child, I'm afraid of seeing people, I'm even more afraid of seeing big people, and if you let me see me again, I'll cry" "Okay, if you cry, I'll go and talk back, saying that you are a child, and I am so scared that I can't see you" The two of them burst out laughing No matter how Wei Ying persuaded him, Zhuangzi just didn't go.
Wei Ying couldn't resist Zhuangzi, so he had to go to Qin Xiaogong alone.
"Why didn't he come?"
"When he heard that you were going to summon him, he cried in fright," Wei Yan joked.
"How is it possible, he is a dignified inheritor of Taoist doctrine, how can it be like this?"
"Alas, we all looked away, Qin Gong, he is a child, how old is he to be of the age of the coronation ceremony" "Bold" Qin Xiaogong stood up and shouted: "I heard what you said inside, Daliang made you" Wei Ying was so frightened that he quickly knelt on his knees, not daring to raise his head.
The attendants beside him just now didn't tell him about Qin Xiaogong's eavesdropping outside the door.
Now it's okay, and I've committed the crime of deceiving the king
