Chapter 71: The old system of the Spring and Autumn Period could not strengthen Qin in a time of great contention
Chu Yian didn't know what Sheng Nianyao was thinking. He just thought she was in a bad mood, so he didn't say anything to bother her even more.
The carriage entered the city. After Sheng Nian Yao sent Chu Yian back to the Duke's Mansion, she ordered someone to drive the carriage away.
Looking at the carriage going away, Xiao Fu was a little confused: "Miss, why do I feel like Miss Sheng is sulking?"
Chu Yian rolled his eyes at her: "What nonsense are you talking about? It's nothing, Nian Yao is just in a bad mood."
Bai Xiaozhu followed behind Chu Yian and her heart trembled as she looked at the magnificent gate of the Duke's Mansion.
She was illiterate and didn't know what the words on it meant, but it was obvious that this house was not that of an ordinary wealthy family.
Bai Xiaozhu swallowed his saliva, feeling that he might have found a real big boss. He felt very nervous and a little excited.
She quietly looked up at Chu Yian. She didn't expect that this young lady had such an extraordinary identity yet was so approachable.
I've heard before that those nobles are not easy to serve, their tempers are worse than each other, and they often beat and scold their servants.
But Chu Yian didn't have that at all. He even considered her in every way and spoke in a very gentle voice. He didn't show any airs at all.
Bai Xiaozhu felt warm in her heart. This young lady was willing to help her and pull her out of the quagmire, which was a great favor to her.
Yet he still treats her like this...
Really, no one has ever been so nice to Bai Xiaozhu since she was born.
She didn't know how to repay Chu Yian.
Chu Yian brought Bai Xiaozhu into the mansion, found the housekeeper, and ordered someone to take Bai Xiaozhu to sign the documents related to the indenture.
Chu Yian doesn’t understand these aspects very well, so it’s better to let others do it.
Before the housekeeper took Bai Xiaozhu away, Chu Yian hurriedly said, "Oh, uncle housekeeper."
Zhang Bo's mouth twitched, and he lowered his head: "Madam San Shao, you can just call me Zhang Bo."
Chu Yian readily agreed: "Okay, Uncle Zhang, after we sign the contract, you can arrange for a few people to go back to the Bai family with Xiao Zhu to pack up the things, and by the way, talk to the Bai family's parents in detail."
No matter how much you love your own children, at least you should treat them as human beings, not like animals.
Bai Xiaozhu covered her mouth. The young lady was going to support her, and she was so moved that tears fell.
Bai Xiaozhu never knew that she could cry so much. It felt like she hadn't cried as much as today in the past ten years combined.
Miss Chu, Miss Chu is really...
She didn't know how to describe her mood at the moment, which was heavy and exciting.
His legs bent and he almost fell to his knees again, but Chu Yian quickly caught him.
Chu Yian was really helpless: "You, don't kneel down all the time. Men have gold under their knees, and we girls have gold under our knees too."
Bai Xiaozhu hummed in a depressed tone, stopped talking, and followed Uncle Zhang downstairs.
Leave the rest to Uncle Zhang. Chu Yian was tired after playing for a whole day, so he simply took Xiao Fu back to Fuhuayuan.
When they returned, Qin Sheng had already returned. Chu Yian's eyes lit up when he saw him. He looked him up and down, and only felt relieved after confirming that he was not injured.
Qin Sheng wanted to laugh: "What's that look in your eyes?"
Chu Yian rolled his eyes at him and walked past him into the house: "The expression on your face before you went to bed yesterday, and when I woke up this morning you were not there, wasn't I worried about you?"
Qin Sheng chuckled and followed Chu Yian into the room: "Don't worry, I won't be upset because of such a small thing. Anyway, I have been living like this for so many years, I am used to it."
Even though I'm used to it, I still feel sad, don't I?
Chu Yian didn't say this out loud. He poured a glass of water and gulped it down.
Looking back on today's whole day, I feel a lot of emotions.
Qin Sheng closed the door and sat down on the chair, looking at Chu Yian: "I heard that you did another good thing today."
Chu Yian blinked: "Is Qin San still with me?"
Qin Sheng nodded: "Of course, you don't like to bring anyone with you when you go out, and you always only take Xiao Fu with you. If I don't arrange for someone to secretly protect you, how can I let you go out without worrying about it?"
Chu Yian smiled embarrassedly: "I wanted to bring it today, but I didn't bring it when I saw Nian Yao brought so many people."
Qin Sheng hummed indifferently: "It's okay, if you don't like to bring people with you, I can arrange for more people to follow you secretly, and it won't disturb your fun."
Chu Yian laughed foolishly, and Qin Sheng was helpless: "Don't laugh like that, it makes you look stupid."
Chu Yian: ...
Chu Yian quickly stopped smiling and glared at Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng raised his hand: "I'm wrong. It's because it looks smart. Too smart will make people feel distant."
Chu Yian: ...
Chu Yian rolled his eyes at Qin Sheng, then stood up and walked to the table to sit down. He tapped the table with his fingers and asked, "Shall we continue?"
Qin Sheng nodded and stood up to sit down.
Chu Yian glanced at his face and there seemed to be nothing unusual, so he should be able to continue normally.
Qin Sheng could feel the inexplicable gaze from the opposite side without even looking up, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
He simply raised his head and looked at Chu Yian. When their eyes met, he said in a gentle voice, "I didn't control my emotions well yesterday. I won't do that again. You don't have to look at me like that."
Hearing him say this, Chu Yian felt relieved and gave him a well-behaved smile: "Of course I believe you, let's continue."
Chu Yian picked up the manuscript paper next to him and started reading. It was written last night that Qin Xiaogong and Wei Yang talked about the content and details of the reform.
The next step is the implementation of the reform.
The implementation of the reform was actually not that quick or easy.
Duke Xiao of Qin spent quite some time first pulling the senior official Gan Long down... no, he pulled him up.
He was appointed Grand Tutor, given honors, and then kept in high esteem.
Anyway, the real power of the senior doctor is gone.
Not only Gan Long, but also Gongsun Jia, Du Zhi and others who were of the same blood as Gan Long.
All the real power in his hands was taken away. His status became more honorable, but it was of no use.
Gan Long saw clearly that Qin Xiaogong's sudden behavior must be to transfer the power to a group of new people.
It was just because the reform had been carried out in secret and had not been revealed, so Gan Long could not guess what Qin Xiaogong's intention was.
It was not until the spring court on the fourth day of March that Duke Xiao of Qin announced that his order to seek talents had been effective and had attracted useful talents to the Qin State.
This talent is naturally the guest official Wei Yang.
Duke Xiaogong announced at the Spring Court that Qin would reform and become stronger. He summoned everyone here today to discuss this matter.
Perhaps it was too sudden, and for a moment the government hall was extremely quiet, with no one speaking.
The silence was broken only when Gan Long asked about the reform strategy.
Chu Yian was in extremely high spirits, and what followed was the famous scene of Wei Yang's debate with the scholars.
The reform affected the interests of so many people. Those people did not kill Wei Yang in front of King Xiaogong of Qin because they were concerned about King Xiaogong's face and the fact that there was also Ying Qian, who had a very bad temper and was King Xiaogong's half-brother, present.
This guy is really ruthless. When he was fighting with the State of Wei, his nephew disobeyed orders, which led to the loss of the camp. This guy simply chopped off his nephew's head.
They didn't dare to act harshly, but they were not polite at all in their words.
As soon as Wei Yang finished talking about his reform strategy, someone immediately started to challenge him, saying that they did not know the drawbacks of the old system and that the new law would be difficult to implement, and asked Wei Yang to explain the drawbacks of the old system.
Because the conversation had just begun, the tone was not that intense.
But as soon as Wei Yang pointed out one of the drawbacks of the old system, someone in the government hall immediately slammed the table and the atmosphere in the whole government hall became tense.
After all, what Wei Yang said just now was that the policy currently implemented by Qin State is still the old system of the Spring and Autumn Period. This policy can only govern the people in times of minor disputes, but cannot strengthen the country in times of major disputes.
In the eyes of some people at the scene, it was because Wei Yang completely despised Qin law that he spoke of it in such a terrible way.
You must know that it was with this set of Qin laws that Baili Xi helped Duke Mu dominate the princes!
Why did it become like this when it came to Wei Yang's mouth?
