As a loser, when he fled here in panic, Wang Jian probably never thought that one day he would step into the desert again and walk the same path he had taken back then. Of course, the future was bleak at that time. , he couldn't see where his road was, but now, he was full of hope, and a golden road was being paved in front of him. ??Would you rather be a king, a general, or a minister? Niu Ben's somewhat hesitant advice on treating Wang Jian's establishment of the country made Jian Tong determined, yes, nothing is impossible. Did the ancestors of the Great Qin Dynasty ever have anything? What did Gao Yuan, the king of the Han Kingdom, the most powerful in this land, have back then? This time when he went back, what he was seeking was the official recognition of the Han Kingdom. Now his country was very small and weak. If the Han wanted to annex him, in Wang Jian's opinion, it would be easy. However, in Niu, In addition to Ben's attitude towards the big food in black, he vaguely saw a way to survive. The big man seems to be full of fear of this enemy he has never met before, so his existence has value. The Qin State is no longer worth what you have to pay for them, and they cannot help you. The only one who can help you is your former enemy, the Han Kingdom. Of course, he had another purpose in going to Dayan County, which was to bring back the remains of his father who died in Dayan County. As for the Wang family's ancestral temples and family tombs that are still within the Qin territory, Niu Ben, the special envoy of the Han State, also promised that after the Han Dynasty defeated the Qin State, they could be welcomed back to his own territory by Wang Jian. More than a thousand cavalrymen protected Wang Jian as he trekked through the desert. Different from fleeing in embarrassment at the beginning, this time on the return trip, he was confident that he could stop and rest wherever there was water in the desert. They are all clearly marked on the map. On a small oasis, after several days of trekking, the team finally arrived at their first resting place. They were given a water source to wash off the sand and dust accumulated over the past few days. For those who march in the desert, it is a kind of enjoyment. Wang Jian is sitting on the green space. Watching with a smile, his soldiers picked up the water from the well and poured it on themselves with a splash. Get yourself soaked. "General Niu, have the Central Plains changed much now?" He asked, looking at Niu Ben sitting on his side. "How should I put it? Of course the changes must be big." Niu Ben thought for a while and said: "But it is precisely because the changes are so big that I don't know where to start talking about it." "The changes are so big that there is no way to start talking about them! "Wang Jian chewed this sentence carefully, and it seemed to have infinite meaning. "I hear your guards talking about the King of Han often these days, but there is one thing that I am very strange about. Please ask General Niu to teach me." "I don't know what General Wang is puzzled about. Of course Niu Ben knows everything and says it. "They often talk about the King of Han, and they don't shy away from us. From their words, I can hear that they respect the King of Han very much, and respect it from the bottom of their hearts, but it seems that they are not afraid of your King of Han. What's going on?" Upon hearing this question, Niu Ben laughed: "Our Han Kingdom is a brand new country in this land, which is different from any other country in history. , I will answer you with a sentence from the King of Han. The King of Han said that he does not need the fear of the people, and the respect of the people for him is the greatest compliment to him. All the Han people only need to fear one thing, and that is the Han. There are no rules and regulations. As long as you are within the scope of the Han law, you can do what you like without anyone interfering with it. ?" Wang Jian shook his head, "If your law does not stipulate that you are not allowed to scold the King of Han, does it mean that your citizens can scold the King of Han at will?" Niu Ben laughed, "The laws of the Han Dynasty do not stipulate this. , but in the Han Dynasty, whoever dares to insult the King of Han is afraid that he will be beaten beyond recognition immediately, and it will not be the government who beats him, because there is no provision in the law not to do so. It will only be ordinary people. But your question is on point. In our Han Dynasty, apart from the king and members of the royal family, other ministers, including our chief ministers, are often scolded." "Such a thing happens. ?" Wang Jian said in surprise. "Of course, I told you about our Dahan Weekly two days ago. Dahan Weekly has four pages dedicated to publishing current affairs and political content. That is also where some literati often use to scold officials. Whenever they feel something is wrong, Then you can write an article and publish it in the newspaper." "Your court doesn't care about such things that are insulting to the official body." "The court has a propaganda department, and of course it will review the publication of current affairs and political news, but as long as it is not Involving state secrets, this?Swearing articles will not be banned. On the contrary, if a department is scolded, the political affairs hall will immediately find trouble with the scolded official. Are all the things said in the newspaper true? What explanation do you have, etc. So our current officials in Han Dynasty, every day When an issue of Dahan Weekly comes out, you have to check to see if you have been scolded! Niu Ben said with an authentic smile. "Then what if a senior member of the political hall is scolded?" " "Of course it is up to the Great Council to take charge. Sometimes it will be the king, but if the king comes out, it might be a big deal. However, in the past few years since the founding of the Han Dynasty, such a thing has not happened, and the adults in the political hall are still very cautious. Niu Ben smiled at Wang Jian, but at this moment he thought of the Li Can incident the year before last. This incident was a scandal for the Han Dynasty, but he was eventually detained. As a member of the National Security Bureau, Senior official, he is naturally one of the few who knows the inside story. "How can the officials manage the people if they are so disrespectful?" "Wang Jian asked another question. "In our Han Dynasty, it is not officials who manage the people, but the law. Niu Ben put forward another point of view that Wang Jian could not accept, "The king often emphasized that he is not the owner of the Han Dynasty, but only the leader of the Han Dynasty, and officials are not the parents of the people, but the servants of the people. The king most importantly I hate what my parents said, and I also hate that there is a great master Qingtian appearing somewhere somewhere. " "This, what is the truth? "Wang Jian asked in surprise. "The so-called parent officials place themselves higher than the common people, thinking that they are the parents of the common people. Don't parents beat their children whenever they want, and scold them whenever they want? In our country, this is not possible. Furthermore, why does Master Qingtian appear? It's because the government in your place is dark, so a person who enforces the law impartially is worshiped by others. This is not the glory of the great man, but the shame of the great man. The Han Dynasty does not need Mr. Qingtian. The Han Dynasty only needs fair laws and officials and people who act in accordance with the laws. Everyone acts according to the law, so why do you need a master from the sky? " Wang Jian was speechless. He had nothing to do these days and talked with Niu Ben in detail about some things about Da Han. Words and things that he couldn't understand often popped out of Niu Ben's mouth, which made him a little confused, but they were all. Far less than the shock that Niu Ben gave him today. If the Han Dynasty is like this, can the country still be a country? But the fact is that the Han Dynasty is the strongest country in this land. "Do you, the King of Han, not value etiquette so much?" " He asked in a nagging voice. Niu Ben chuckled: "Why don't you pay attention to it? We big men set up schools. Children of school age, regardless of gender, must go to school. These are all free. Where we are, it's called Elementary school is something every child must go to. If a parent does not let his or her child go to school, he or she will be punished. Of course, this is all that can be done now. If you want to go to middle school or go to college, Then it can't be free. The king always sighs when he talks about it, saying that the money is not enough. If he were richer, middle school should also be free. " "But in my opinion, you guys are already richest in the world. "Wang Jian said. "But it can't stand up to the large territory and the large number of people. If it is divided into every place and every person, it is not worth mentioning! Niu Ben said. "Everything requires money." " "Now that the Han Dynasty has formed a crushing advantage over the Qin State in terms of military affairs, why doesn't your king sweep over and instead of taking action? "Wang Jian asked again. Based on what he has learned in the past few days, the Qin State is already in ruins, and the Han Dynasty is at its peak. In his opinion, if we don't take action against this overwhelming advantage, how can we wait for the Qin State to take a breather? Are you angry? "The first is the issue of money. When the army moves, food and grass go first, weapons and wages, and the money flows out. In the king's opinion, the most critical issue now is not whether you can get it or not. Qin State, but what to do after taking Qin State? The land of Qin is not inferior, and the people are unimaginably poor. Once the Han Dynasty takes it, it will be our Han Dynasty's territory. The people are the subjects of the Han Dynasty. So they must be treated the same as the people of the Han Dynasty now. How much will it cost? ? But now we big men can't get it out, so we can only wait and let the people of Qin suffer for a few more days! Second, in war, people will die. Now the Qin people are not rotten to the core, and the army is still quite effective in fighting. Even if we win, our soldiers will not suffer small losses. Your Majesty loves his soldiers like his own sons and is not willing to die too many People, let's wait a little longer. Maybe after a while, the Qin people will start to do it themselves. Then let's go and take advantage, and naturally a lot of people will die. "Niu Ben said. Wang Jian understood a little in his heart that the Han Dynasty was trying to drag Qin to death. "Where are the Chu people? " "Chu people are a little more troublesome, but it is impossible to know the specifics of my position. Anyway, I just need to finish the errands assigned by my superiors." Niu Ben laughed and said: "Anyway, Qin Chu can't dance for a few days, Zuo?"These are all meals for us big men, so we are not in a hurry. The king said that we should lay a solid foundation first, and other things will naturally fall into place. " It's a matter of course! The big man is actually confident to this point. This time when he goes back, he must take a good look at it so that he can decide his future national policy. " Suddenly a sharp warning whistle sounded in the distance, and Wang Jian stood up suddenly Get up, in the distance, the scouts sent by Wang Bu are rolling up waves of sand, and the warning whistle is coming from the scouts. "Enemy attack?" "Niu Ben also stood up suddenly. Where did the enemy come from in this desert? (To be continued.)
