The disciples of Mingyue's Renzong in Qin Dynasty

Ying Zheng's face froze again. Are you a devil? You told me to measure the land of Qin with your feet, but in the end you were rushing with your cultivation.

"Because I want to know what the people are like?" Ying Zheng said, never admitting that he was cheated.

Wuchenzi looked at Yingzheng and was very impressed. To be able to do this is worthy of being an emperor through the ages.

Finally, before nightfall, Yingzheng and Wuchenzi finally found a village to board.

"I've seen two sorcerers!" The villager looked at Wu Chenzi, who looked like a master, and Ying Zheng, who looked like a Taoist boy, and said with a bow.

"I'm on my way today, it's getting late, may I ask if Lizheng can stay overnight in the village?" Wu Chenzi asked.

"Do mages have Taoist status?" Li Zheng asked routinely.

Wu Chenzi nodded, and took out a wooden sign, which was made by Wu Yazi in Xinzheng by pretending to be a Taoist master, so it happened to be useful.

"It turns out to be a master of Taoism, please!" Li Zheng hurriedly said after receiving the Taoist certificate and carefully inspecting it.

"Is Taoism so prestige in Qin?" Ying Zheng looked at Lizheng and asked in bewilderment.

Li Zheng nodded and said: "From generation to generation, during disaster years or wars, Taoist disciples would go out to the mountains to give alms, to help the village through the busy farming season, or to help repair houses."

Ying Zheng nodded. In the year of the catastrophe, the government couldn't help all the villages, but the Taoists took the initiative to help the villagers. This is quite different from other schools of thought. No wonder Taoism can develop in Qin.

"On weekdays, we will also ask the mage to help us with funerals and weddings." Li Zheng continued.

Ying Zheng nodded, this is the old line of Taoism, including the emperor, he will ask Taoist masters to take care of many matters.

"Daotong has never seen the world, so Lizheng made a joke." Wu Chenzi laughed.

"It doesn't matter, it's normal for a little mage to be curious when he goes out for the first time." Li Zheng smiled, and from the beginning he saw that Ying Zheng was a fledgling rookie.

"Pindao and Tongzi plan to stay in the village for a few days, so I ask Lizheng to help arrange it," Wu Chenzi said.

Li Zheng nodded and said: "It's what I wish for, but the village is poor. I hope the two mages will not be disgusted and live in my house temporarily."

Wu Chenzi nodded, and followed Li Zheng back to his room with Ying Zheng.

"You all live in such a house?" Ying Zheng looked at the stone-built house in front of him and frowned and asked, not because he disliked it, but because he was shocked. What he and Gai Nie saw when they came out were completely different from what they are now. of.

"I made the little mage laugh." Li Zheng was a little embarrassed. This was already the best in the village. After all, it was in the mountains, and the transportation was inconvenient.

"There are very few people in the village, so what's the matter if you don't see young and strong?" Ying Zheng asked again, and he almost didn't see young and strong along the way. He remembered that what Qin Fali asked was that the only son in the family was not required to serve in the military .

"They all went to serve as soldiers to eat food or build canals." Li Zheng said.

"Does it take so many people to build the canal?" Ying Zheng asked again.

"Because we are afraid of being poor, the whole village wants to finish building the canal as soon as possible so that we can move out of here and form another village outside," Li Zheng said.

"That's true. After the canals are built, the fertile fields are thousands of miles away. Lizheng can take the villagers out to start a new village. After two or three generations, he can also farm and become a prince." Wu Chenzi said.

Li Zheng smiled, and said yearningly: "A Taoist disciple passed by our village three years ago, told us, and helped us choose the address of the new village."

"Oh, what is the name of Lizheng's disciple?" Wuchenzi also became interested. This disciple was obviously one of the disciples who carried out the Fifth Heaven's Order of Humanity.

"The mage calls himself Yiyuanzi, and says he is a disciple of three generations of Taoism. Does the mage know him?" Li Zheng asked.

Wuchenzi's expression darkened, and he was naturally one of the Yiyuanzi. He knew all the disciples who carried out the Humane Order of the fifth day, but Yiyuanzi appeared in the Taoist worship hall.

"Yiyuanzi has passed away." Wuchenzi sighed.

"What are you talking about, Master Yiyuanzi has passed away?" Lizheng couldn't believe it, how could Yiyuanzi pass away at the same age as his child.

Ying Zheng was also in a daze. He also guessed that Yi Yuanzi was a disciple who carried out the Taoist fifth-day order of humanity. He also knew that many Taoist disciples had passed away because of the fifth-day order of humanity. He just didn't expect the first village they encountered to inquire about it. The first news I received was that this Taoist disciple had passed away.

"Yi Yuanzi and the second elder were in charge of the Guanzhong of Qin State. Because of the heavy rain, the embankment burst, and Yi Yuanzi rushed into the embankment with his body. He used his cultivation to block the torrent to buy time for rebuilding. He died of serious injuries shortly after returning to Taiyi Mountain. " Wu Chenzi said.

Li Zheng was silent, and it took a long time before he opened his mouth to say, "Master, can we allow our new village to use the name of Yiyuan to build a shrine for Master Yiyuanzi?"

Wuchenzi nodded. Yiyuanzi was about the same age as him, and he often came to listen to his stories, but passed away because of the Fifth Heaven Humane Order he promulgated. He also hoped that someone could pay homage to him.

Yingzheng also bowed deeply to Wuchenzi. He knew that the Taoists had paid a lot for the fifth day's order of humanity, but the feeling he experienced was completely different.

Because of the matter of Yuanzi, the three of them were a little silent, so when they arrived at Lizheng's house, they simply washed up and went to sleep.

Chapter 170 The Private Visit of the King of Qin in Weifu ([-])

After a night of silence, Wuchenzi and Yingzheng were also woken up early the next morning. When they walked out of the room, they saw a group of villagers gathered in the yard.

"I saw two mages, I slept well last night." Li Zheng asked.

"Morning, this is everyone?" Wu Chenzi asked after bowing.

"Master, Master Yiyuanzi really passed away?" A villager asked, but his eyes were full of disbelief.

Wu Chenzi fell silent, and everyone knew it was true, so there was another silence.

"Master Yiyuanzi promised that he would come to pray for us when our new village is established." Someone said.

"Starting with one yuan, it represents new life. The establishment of a new village is also a new life. One yuan will pray for you in the sky." Wu Chenzi said.

"Really, will Grandmaster Yiyuanzi really watch us from the sky?" Everyone looked at Wuchenzi and asked.

"Yes, our Taoist school has never promised that we will miss the promise. Yiyuanzi will not miss the promise. He will pray for you with another existence." Wu Chenzi said.

The villagers all looked at Wuchenzi with hope in his eyes. Since Yiyuanzi came to them, he helped them to survey the terrain. Every day, he led people into the mountains, leaving early and returning late, and finally A location was chosen for them, and they were told that they could move there one after another. As a result, the canals have been slowly built, and the young and strong are also busy in the new village, but Yi Yuanzi passed away.

"Let's all disperse, the spirit of Yiyuanzi in the sky hopes that you can recuperate, multiply and develop, and continue to grow stronger." Wuchenzi said.

The villagers dispersed slowly, but they still didn't want to believe that the young man who loved to laugh just left.

"The road of Taoism is hope. Yiyuanzi's hope is that the villages he has helped will gradually grow and develop. Maybe he himself doesn't know what the Fifth Heaven Order of Humanity is, but he does. What is the way?" Wu Chenzi sighed.

Li Zheng looked at Wuchenzi and Yingzheng, he knew that these two were not ordinary mages, and coming here was probably the same as when Shang Yang traveled all over the 72 counties of Qin State.

"What do the two mages want to know?" Li Zheng asked.

Wu Chenzi shook his head, we only believe what we see with our own eyes, not what you show on purpose.

"Boy, go and help the villagers with some farm work." Wu Chenzi said, looking at Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng looked at him and Lizheng and nodded, then left the village and followed the villagers into the farmland to tend Nongsang. This was thanks to the fact that he and Ge Nie went on tour every year, so they were not newbies and knew how to do it.

"Is this little mage a big shot from Xianyang?" Li Zheng asked, looking at Wu Chenzi.

"King Qin." Wu Chenzi said.

Li Zheng was stunned for a moment. He thought that Ying Zheng would be a nobleman in Xianyang City, but he didn't expect that King Qin would come in person, and he would go to work in the fields with the villagers.With such a great king, what would the people of Qin want.

"You are?" Li Zheng looked at Wu Chenzi, it would not be a simple person who dared to take King Qin out of Qin Palace.

"Wuchenzi." Wuchenzi replied.

"I have seen Master Guoshi." Li Zheng said immediately, saluting.

"We came here secretly, so don't report to the county government." Wu Chenzi said.

The reason why he told Li Zheng was that he wanted to spread King Qin's reputation throughout Guanzhong through his mouth and strengthen King Qin's prestige.

Li Zheng nodded, looking at his dilapidated stone house, the high and mighty king was able to live here without any complaints, and talked about Nong Sang and Sang Ma with them.

Ying Zheng followed the villagers to hoe and chat together, and the villagers taught him to sing Qin opera.

"How do you feel?" Wu Chenzi looked at Ying Zheng and asked.

"It's not the same. Although they respect me, it's not the same as going out with Gai Nie. They are willing to teach me a lot and get close to me." Ying Zheng said with a smile, this is the first time he has experienced this feeling .

"The needs of the common people are actually very simple. You can ask them in the afternoon if you don't believe me." Wu Chenzi said.

Ying Zheng nodded. He ate rough japonica rice and wild vegetables with little oil and water. Although it was not delicious, Ying Zheng still ate a lot.

In the afternoon, Wu Chenzi also went out. Someone in the village was bitten by a poisonous snake while going out, so Lizheng asked Wu Chenzi to come here.

Wu Chenzi hurried over, here he was not worried that these simple villagers would pose any threat to Ying Zheng.

After helping the poisoned villagers to force out the poisonous snake's venom with cultivation base, and then bandaged it up, Wu Chenzi said, "When you go into the mountains, don't be nervous when you are bitten by a poisonous snake. Wherever poisonous snakes infested, there will be herbal medicine for detoxification." , before that, you have to learn to deal with it.”

Wu Chenzi gave some self-rescue methods in the wild to these hunters who entered the mountain, and told them some rescue methods in other situations.

Ying Zheng followed the villagers to the fields to tend the farmland, only to discover that there is also a lot of knowledge in farming.

"In fact, the government should publish some books on farming to pass on these experiences." A villager said.

Yingzheng nodded. It is true. The power of the people is huge. Every village will have experience. This experience can be compiled into a book and passed on to Qin State, which will bring greater grain production to Qin State.

"Actually, I've always wanted to know, what are your pursuits in life?" Ying Zheng asked.

The villagers all laughed, and they all knew that Taoist disciples were different from them, but they were willing to tell Ying Zheng that they were not afraid of his jokes.

"Whatever you want to pursue, a few acres of fertile land, an airtight house, and a wife, and a few children will be complete. If you talk about pursuit, it is to have meat for every meal." The villagers laughed.

Ying Zheng was stunned. Meals with meat and a house without air leakage were already their pursuits, but today's Qin State can't even satisfy them with such a simple condition.

Back at Lizheng's house at night, Ying Zheng looked at Wuchenzi hesitantly, he felt that he was a failed king, he couldn't even satisfy his people with a house and a meal of meat.

"Are you shocked by the pursuit of the villagers?" Wu Chenzi asked.

Ying Zheng nodded. He didn't know why this happened. Qin's tax was not high, so why did it happen.

"Do you think Qin's tax is already the lowest among the Seven Kingdoms, and it's still the same?" Wu Chenzi asked, pointing to the stone house where there were no oily wild vegetables and no air leakage on the table.

Ying Zheng nodded. The Qin State has not launched any large-scale wars in recent years, why is it still like this.

"Because food is priceless, they can't afford meat, and because the roads are impassable, they can't go out, because the land is barren and the food production is insufficient." Wu Chenzi said.

"Please teach me, sir." Ying Zheng asked again.

"Agricultural Encyclopedia, which collects all the farming experience in the world and compiles it into a book, which is passed on to the Qin State, and agricultural officials are set up to teach the people about farming. For example, here, it is not suitable for planting millet, but the villagers do not know that their ancestors have been planting millet for generations. They can only grow millet." Wu Chenzi said.

Ying Zheng nodded. This was something he had thought of today, but it was not as detailed as Wu Chenzi thought.

"That's why Your Majesty can personally invite the peasant hero to enter Qin to compile the Complete Book of Agricultural Administration, and introduce peasant disciples to Qin as officials to teach the people about farming." Wu Chenzi said.

Ying Zheng frowned, the farmer's family entered Qin Dynasty, will your Taoists agree?

"All schools have their own advantages and disadvantages. When it comes to farming, no one among the hundreds of schools can compare with the peasants. A hundred schools of thought contend, and a hundred flowers bloom together is what an empire should look like," Wu Chenzi said.

"There are hundreds of schools of thought, and there are constant disputes, how to balance?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Natural selection, survival of the fittest. Only by fighting can we move forward." Wu Chenzi said.

"What should the government do?" Ying Zheng asked again.

"Legislative delimitation, so that all schools of thought can only exercise within the law, even if they are beaten to death, it will not affect the livelihood of the people." Wu Chenzi continued.

"Your Majesty, please remember that the people are the foundation of the country, and you should not shake the foundation of the people at any time. The requirements of the people are very simple, and your Majesty has seen this. The requirements are really not high. If the royal family cannot meet this requirement, the country will Will not be a country." Wu Chenzi said.

Ying Zheng nodded, the people's demands were really simple and couldn't be simpler.

"Your Majesty, if you want to send troops out of Shandong, you must know that the people of Qin are fundamental." Wu Chenzi said.

"Sir, do you mean that there are too many upstarts from the Six Kingdoms in the Qin Dynasty?" Ying Zheng asked with a frown.

Wu Chenzi nodded. Qin can have great talents from outside, but middle and low-level officials must be from Qin. If there is no one to cultivate, outsiders can never be trusted.

"In the court of the Qin State, there are less than half of the nobles of the Qin State, and there are very few Qin people in important positions. If this goes on, the Qin people will lose their loyalty to the royal family, because the royal family has interrupted their hopes." Wu Chenzi said Why is the world in chaos after Yingzheng's death, but the Qin State can't be like the old Qin in Xiaogong's time, and went to the national calamity together, and everyone respected him.It is because the Qin people have lost trust in the royal family from top to bottom.

"It's not that the state of Qin lacks talents, it's just that the kings of Qin have been accustomed to recruiting great talents from the six kingdoms into Qin. This will make the state of Qin rise for a while, but it will also slowly kill the hope of the people of Qin."

"Ju Xiaolian bound Qin, and also bound the world." Wu Chenzi said.

"Every country will not lack talents, what is lacking is the way for them to become officials." Wu Chenzi said, it doesn't matter how many great talents are buried in the countryside.

"Qin's military merits have made Qin have no shortage of famous generals in the past dynasties, but why Qin has always lacked famous officials and ministers, because the system of promoting talents and promoting officials has prevented many people from having the opportunity to be an official, never being an official, and having no experience in being an official. How can they become great talents?" Wu Chenzi continued.

Yingzheng was silent. Every general rose up in constant wars. Qin has no shortage of famous generals because of military meritorious service. The wars along the way gave them a wealth of experience, so they were able to train a general.However, the famous ministers and ministers of Qin State are all foreign, which makes the native scholars of Qin State weaker and weaker.

"Sir, do you have a solution?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Imperial examination!" Wu Chenzi said.

"Imperial examination?" Ying Zheng frowned, never heard of it.

"The establishment of a scientific examination to become an official, all talented people can participate in it, and choose the best to be an official." Wu Chenzi said.

Yingzheng's mind was pounding, and he looked at Wuchenzi in shock. He understood the meaning of the imperial examination. Once this method of selecting officials came out, Qin would no longer lack civil servants.

Chapter 171 The Private Visit of the King of Qin in Weifu ([-])

"If an empire wants to be established, every class must have hope, and the empire will be stable." Wu Chenzi said.
