Chapter 968: Satisfied


The Wei state was a new type of vassal state that split from the Jin state.

In 453 BC, Zhao Xiangzi, Wei Huanzi and Han Kangzi were divided.

In 403 BC, the three families of Wei, Zhao, and Han were officially made princes by Zhou Tianzi.

It was precisely for this reason that after the disappearance of the Jin State, the Chu State became the overlord state at that time.

Due to the central location of the Wei state, Wei Wenhou became the first monarch of the Warring States to implement the reform of the law.

He used Zhai Huang as a phase to reform maladministration; Use Le Yang as a general to attack Zhongshan and expand its territory; He also used Li Kui to change the law and govern the country according to law.

Slowly, the state of Wei became stronger.

By the time of King Hui of Wei, Wei had become the new overlord.

Wei was a new type of vassal state, so there were not many hereditary nobles in Wei.

But it's not easy to move them.

Among them, many of them are former heroes, and more are relatives of the emperor.

To be honest, it's not good to move anyone.

After listening to the narration of King Wei Hui, Zhuangzi was also embarrassed.

The most important thing now is that many of them are still officials in the court.

"Alas," King Wei Hui thought about it, and finally said: "You can only move those who don't work hard, and they will also decline."

This is a bunch of waste, living on their ancestors. ” And these people are often the hardest people to talk to.

Because they rely on the fiefdom of their ancestors to eat, if you move them, they will shout, and they will take the ancestors out to talk about things. said that if there was no their ancestors, what would have happened to them, there would be no Wei State today, and so on.

And they themselves have no role at all, so they live by collecting taxes and living a rotten and corrupt life.

And those who are officials in the court, they are much easier to say.

Every time they go to war, they contribute money and effort.

So King Wei Hui had no reason to move them.

However, if you want to rewrite the sub-sealing system and the national tax interest rate, they must be involved.

After a night of negotiations, King Wei Hui finally had his own idea.

Change is to change, and the tax rate is to be adjusted.

For these hereditary nobles who do not want to make progress, they still have to move.

Because these people are scum, they can't help it, they can't set off any big storms.

If you don't move them, the Wei Kingdom will decline, and the other vassal states will become stronger, and they will also decline.

You can't drag down the Wei State because of them.

Nimadi's laborers are working desperately in the front, but you are eating the food of your ancestors in the back, and if you continue like this, there will be only hereditary nobles left in this world who eat, drink and have fun, and there will be no people.

But you have thought about it, without the hard work of your people, where did you hereditary nobles eat, drink, and merry Pie in the sky Wealth is created by the people.

I thought that if my ancestors laid down the country, I would be able to enjoy the glory and wealth of my descendants for all generations, and if others were fools, they would let you sit and enjoy the glory and wealth, and be a cow and a horse for you, and they would not be the same to fight the country The blessing of the ancestors is limited, and if the descendants want to get it without hard work, they have to work hard in the first half of their lives.

Work hard in the first half of your life, and enjoy the fruits of your labor in the second half.

The next day, King Wei Hui did not go to the early dynasty, but specially set up a banquet to entertain Zhuangzi.

After the banquet, Zhuangzi got up and said goodbye.

King Wei Hui knew that Zhuangzi did not want to be an official in Wei, so he did not keep him.

Now that he knows what to do, it doesn't matter if he wants Zhuangzi or not.

He asked the eunuch to prepare a cart of gifts for Zhuangzi, in addition to gold, silver and jade, as well as brocade silk, food and the like.

Seeing this, Zhuangzi shook his head and refused.

When the eunuch saw Zhuangzi's refusal, he was so anxious that he cried.

"If the king had known, he would have punished the minions."

Seeing that the eunuch was embarrassed, Zhuangzi only accepted the silver, and nothing else.

Because silver is used later, gold is too valuable, and it is easy to attract thieves if it is not used.

Jade is the stuff of the upper class, and it is not something that he can afford as a commoner.

And the brocade silk and the like are too expensive to be consumed by him.

As for the others, it is inconvenient to bring them, so they can only give up.

Zhuangzi didn't want to take the carriage of Wei back to Song, that would be too ostentatious, and it would not only attract the attention of the thief, but also the king of Song.

He just wanted to go back quietly, unaware.

Now he has given up his plan to go to Chu to find his son.

Because the mother Dai Liu'er has soared, there is no one in the family to protect the seller and the children.

So he had to stay and live honestly at home.

Looking for a son is to be found, and you can only use your clone to find it.

"Are there silk threads and embroidered handkerchiefs?"

Zhuangzi asked.

The eunuch stopped crying, thought about it, shook his head and said, "No" "Then you prepare a box of silk threads and embroidered handkerchiefs for the court, and I don't want anything else, so you can make a good deal," Zhuangzi asked the eunuch after receiving the money.

"What do you want silk thread and embroidered handkerchiefs for?"

asked the eunuch, puzzled.

"My wife can embroider well, and her skills are good, and she can compare with the embroiderers in the court."

"Oh," the eunuch understood.

Then he went to prepare a box of silk threads and embroidered handkerchiefs for Zhuangzi.

Zhuangzi collected the silk thread and embroidered handkerchief, and rode out of the capital in a carriage. got out of the car and sent the coachman back to the palace, and then he disappeared on the spot, and returned to his hometown in Song Guomeng County from the capital of Wei State in a single thought.

For this trip to Wei, Zhuangzi was satisfied.

Regardless of whether King Wei Hui acted according to the plan or not, eradicated the cancer, and attacked the hereditary nobles of Wei, he felt that King Wei Hui still had foresight and self-knowledge.

He can realize the disadvantages of the sub-sealing system and the essence of things, which means that this person's IQ is still okay.

The chaos of society and the chaos of the Great Zhou Dynasty have a lot to do with this feudal system and this hereditary aristocracy.

If everyone thinks that as long as they lay down the country, they can enjoy the glory and wealth of their children and grandchildren, then everyone will do it.

They all go to fight the country, seize the throne, and then their children and grandchildren can sit back and enjoy the success.

So will there be a time when this society will be stable?

If this kind of thinking and concept is not removed, mankind will never have a peaceful day.

People who live at the bottom will always think about rebellion.

Therefore, if there is a mistake in the outlook on life, the world, and the universe, mankind will only repeat yesterday's story forever.

No matter what King Wei Hui did in the future, as long as King Wei Hui realized this, Zhuangzi was happy.

As a Taoist and a Taoist inheritor, the greatest satisfaction is nothing more than this, which can make a person recognize the essence of things, the essence of society, and the essence of people.

Although King Wei Hui realized this for the sake of his own Wei State and his own throne, it was a kind of ideological progress after all.

We can't save this society, we can't save the world, but we can save ourselves.

If we have that ability, we can save the people around us, and save the people who have contact with us.

This is also preaching Uncle Liezi is nothing more than that, he thinks he has no talent himself, he can only take care of his relatives.

So he guarded his relatives all his life in obscurity.

He didn't have any great achievements, but he became himself, he became the son of others, the father of others, the husband of others, and the neighbor of others More importantly, his life did not affect the survival of others, and the way others lived did not affect his survival.

Life is nothing more than that Live to the end of our lives as human beings aa2705221:
