Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Page 445

"It's hard to say, but Lord Pingyuan ordered someone to tell me this news, so it must be true."

So the tone of the crowd couldn't help becoming excited again.

"Could it be that Your Majesty really wants to do what King Wu of Zhou did back then, and set the Central Plains to divide the world?"

There is also a humane who thinks about the country: "It's not right. King Wu of Zhou overthrew Shang Zhou and ordered the invincible opponents in the world to divide the feudalism. Now there are six powers in China standing side by side with our Zhao country. Is it too early to divide the feudalism now?"

Another person laughed and said, "The whole world has been enfeoffed for thousands of years. The emperor of Zhou can enfeoff, but the king can't? Besides, if you and I are not for that land, why are we here?"

As soon as these words were said, everyone else nodded.

Isn't it obvious who is ahead and who is behind?

No one is a fool, winning glory for the country or something is worthless compared to the land!

In fact, in the hearts of these nobles, anything is worthless compared to land.

The land represents everything!

Soon, many nobles were led into a hall.

Here, the nobles saw two people.

One is Han Fei, the young servant of Zhao Guo, and the other is Zhao Sheng, the current Prime Minister of Zhao Guo.

Seeing these two people, the nobles immediately took a reassurance in their hearts.

It is well known that Han Fei is the king's confidant, and Zhao Sheng is Zhao Guo's Xiangbang. With two people present, it is basically equivalent to Zhao Dan's presence.

However, many people have some doubts in their hearts.

If the rumors that came out were true, and Zhao Dan really planned to exchange land for food, then this would be a big deal.

Is it really good that the monarch is not present for such a big matter?

And soon, everyone noticed another point.

There is a map hanging on the upper wall of the hall, which has all the mountains, rivers and rivers on it.

Good place!

So everyone's minds became active again.

Is this for real?

With all kinds of thoughts, all the nobles sat down one after another.

When everyone was here, Zhao Sheng and Han Fei exchanged glances, then stood up.

Logically speaking, this should be done by Han Fei, but Han Fei's stuttering problem made him unsuitable for the role of commentary.

And to be honest, Zhao Dan's idea really shocked Zhao Sheng. Zhao Sheng felt that this was definitely an excellent idea that could be recorded in history, so it was definitely not a loss for him to play the role of commentary.

So Zhao Sheng coughed and said: "You must have received the news, so I will tell you directly. Now the food in Handan City is in short supply, so the king ordered me to call you today, but I hope you can donate food enthusiastically. If you can donate enough food, then not only will your majesty reward you, but you will also be granted titles, which will allow you to be promoted to nobility!"

Chapter 439 I think you, Zhao Sheng, are making fun of us! (Second more)

"Ascension to the rank?"

This time the nobles were really excited.

Although the land is very good, everyone knows that the land is not so easy to get.

Therefore, exchanging food for titles is actually a more reliable opinion in the eyes of the nobles.

But there were also many nobles who showed disappointment on their faces.

Most of these disappointed nobles are those with high titles, such as middle doctor, upper doctor or even lower minister.

For a nobleman like this, if he wanted to improve his title, he would have to go a step further, which can be said to be very difficult.

Don't look at the fact that Yu Xin was named Shangqing just after seeing Zhao Dan twice, but the problem is that in the entire Zhao country, only Yu Xin can reach the sky in such a step.

Even for Lin Xiangru, he was granted the title of Doctor through Returning Bibi to Zhao first, and then he was awarded the title of Minister of State through the Mianchi Meeting.

It is conceivable how difficult it is to have only one Yu Xin out of millions of people.

Raising the title is really not that easy.

Zhao Wang is really so kind?Wouldn't it be to take out some low-level titles to send everyone away?

After all, although there are many aristocratic families present, many of them have been passed down for hundreds of years, and they are actually not as good as before.

The reason is also very simple, the title is descended.

When your grandfather was a prince, your father became a Zhongqing, and then you became a senior doctor, and your son became a lower doctor, and then you left the ranks of nobles when your grandson was born.

Mencius said in Li Louzhang's sentence: "The brilliance of a gentleman will be cut off for five generations."

Chu Long also said this when he was talking about Zhao Wei's empress: "Before the present and the third generation, as for Zhao Zhi as Zhao, the descendant of Zhao Wang, the grandson of the king, was there any successor?"

From Chulong's point of view, in fact, after three generations, there are basically none who can still maintain the glory of their ancestors.

Therefore, it is not easy to be a nobleman in Zhao State.

It's like the dozens of people in the hall now, many of them belong to the next doctor or middle doctor.

If these people don't work hard, they will basically sink when the title of the next generation is lowered.

So when they heard it, many nobles who were about to face the problem of relegation immediately became excited.

Not only that, the next moment, Zhao Sheng's words made everyone excited again.

"What I want to tell everyone is that as long as enough food can be given, then the title can be promoted! And the highest can be promoted to Shangqing!"

After hearing these words, the hall was immediately coaxed, and it became extremely lively.

Many people asked: "Mr. Pingyuan, may I ask how much food is needed to be able to promote the title?"

Which one of the families present has tens of thousands of acres of fields and piles of grain?

If you can exchange this mere food for a title, then it's really not too cool!

Zhao Sheng saw these high-spirited Zhao nobles, and couldn't help showing a happy smile on his face, saying: "Don't worry, everyone, I have ordered someone to write the regulations on how to exchange grain for titles. Someone will distribute this to everyone."

After Zhao Sheng said this, he waved his hand, and someone immediately sent a copy of the bamboo slips to the nobles of Zhao State.

The nobles of the Zhao Kingdom don't know how many such bamboo slips they have read on weekdays, and logically speaking, it should be commonplace.
