This person's strength might not be comparable to Wang Li's, but compared to the nameless Meng Yi, he was still much stronger.
Other than the three of them, there were three other people who were very eye-catching.
They were the descendants of Meng, Xi, and Bai.
The three children made Ying Wei frown.
From the looks of it, the three of them were about eight or nine years old. Not only were they young and fat, but they were also extremely arrogant.
The three of them joined forces, and not only did they cause a ruckus in the main hall, they even dared to utter malicious words and threaten the other aristocratic children. They simply did not know what to do!
In fact, from the moment the three of them entered, he had been very disgusted.
This was everyone's first time entering the Imperial Palace, so how could the three of them be the only ones acting independently?
Other than Wang Li, Feng Jing, and Meng Yide, the three of them didn't let anyone else off.
Even the Li family's collateral descendant was being bullied.
At this moment, all the noise in the hall was caused by the three of them.
Hearing them say "you're not worthy","small family" and "unpresentable", Ying Wei was extremely speechless.
The selection hadn't even started yet, but the three of them had already assumed the role of his study partner. Their arrogant and domineering appearance made Ying Wei roll his eyes.
However, his actions were obviously useless against three people who knew nothing about it.
Seeing that the three of them had threatened almost all the people who had come in together, Lafu could not help it.
"Young Master, these three people have unstable temperaments and are not good candidates for accompanying students!”
He whispered into Ying Wei's ear.
Logically speaking, this matter had nothing to do with him.
His mission today was to act as a tool. After the young master found a suitable study partner, he would be in charge of the "selection".
At this moment, he could simply not ask anything from the background.
After all, he was an existence who had been in the palace for more than ten years, so how could he not understand the principle of saying too much?
Moreover, he was talking about the Meng, Xi, and Bai clans that even the First Emperor had a headache over.
Speaking of these three great clans, they had a great background.
"Meng Xibai" was originally built by three famous generals who had achieved hegemony in Qin Mu Gong. They were Meng Mingshi, Xi Qishu,
Bai Yibing.
After Shang Yang's reform, the knight privilege and priority of the Meng, Xi, and Bai clans disappeared.
They were good at farming and gradually declined. The Bai tribe was good at farming and fighting, and gradually became the number one tribe in Lin County.
Thinking back, Lin County was known as the "number one county in the Qin country", it was truly famous.
However, this county was famous not only because it was once the capital of Qin State, but also not because of how fertile the land was.
In fact, in terms of geographical location, Di County was not as wide and flat as the eastern part of the Guanzhong Plain, nor was it as rich as the old territories of the six dynasties.
The reason why it had such a great reputation was because it was the Qin country's 'hometown of famous generals!”
The root of the problem was that Lin County was the county where the Qin tribes lived, and the largest source of soldiers in the Qin country.
But more importantly, there were three major tribes, Meng Xibai.
Meng Mingshi, Xi Qishu, and Bai Yibing were all from Yi County. They had followed Duke Mu of Qin, one of the Five Tyrants of the Spring and Autumn Period, and fought together on the battlefield, supporting each other.
Therefore, they formed a deep friendship, and the three of them became even more like brothers in life.
As a result, the three of them immediately decided to build their mansions in one place, living next to each other.
Since then, the people of these three families have colluded with each other, and the descendants of these three families have also left behind in the county.
The branch family had flourished for more than a hundred years and formed a huge force.
Over the past two hundred years, they had gradually occupied more than half of the county!
Logically speaking, even if such a large clan was not an important figure in the court, they should be deeply trusted by the First Emperor.
However, the truth was the exact opposite.
The First Emperor's tolerance for these three clans had long reached the limit!
Speaking of this, the story line was long.
If he really wanted to mention it, he should start from the death of Shang Jun.
Shang Yang (395 - 338 B.C.), a native of the State of Wei. His surname was Gongsun, so he was also known as Wei Yang and Gongsun Yang. Later, he was granted the title of Shang by Duke Xiao of Qin after he made great contributions in the battle of Hexi, so later generations called him Shang Jun or Shang Yang.
Shang Yang was a famous politician and reformist during the Warring States Period. He was a representative of Legalism.
With the support of Duke Xiao of Qin, Shang Yang used 20 years to transform the Qin State into a rich and powerful country. It was known as the " Shang Yang's reform."
Politically, Shang Yang reformed Qin's household registration, military titles, land system, administrative divisions, taxation, weights and measures, and folk customs. He also made harsh laws.
In terms of economy, Shang Yang advocated emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce, and rewarded farming and weaving. In terms of military, Shang Yang led the Qin army to obtain the land west of the river.
In 338 B.C., Duke Xiao passed away and King Huiwen of Qin succeeded to the throne. In the same year, Shang Yang was framed by Gongzi Qian for rebellion and was defeated and killed. His body was brought back to Xianyang and was publicly displayed after being torn apart.
This was what was recorded in the historical records, but in fact,
Was that really the case?
Ying Wei didn't know what the others thought, but he had a completely different idea when he read this history.
In his view, the fundamental reason for Shang Yang's death was that although his reform had made the Qin country rich and powerful, it had also deeply touched the interests of the Qin royal family and aristocrats.
One had to know that in 250 B.C., Shang Yang's second reform mentioned in detail the abolition of the noble's well-field system, the abolition of slavery, the state ownership of land, and the implementation of private ownership of land. The state recognized the private ownership of land and allowed free trade.
Not only that, he also proposed the abolition of the enfeoffment system, the universal implementation of the county system, the establishment of a county-level bureaucracy; With the county as the local administrative unit, it was directly under the jurisdiction of the monarch and so on.
However, just from these two decrees, one could see how much damage this reform had done to the interests of the imperial clan and noble groups.
Shang Yang wanted to abolish the system of hereditary officials and the system of well fields for nobles. This was tantamount to directly stripping the old nobles of their political and economic privileges for generations.
At the same time, Shang Yang also issued a system of 20 ranks of nobility according to military merits. Nobles without military merits would be removed from the royal family's books. On the contrary, civilians with military merits could be rewarded according to their military merits and become new nobles.
In addition, Shang Yang proposed to abolish the enfeoffment system and implement a system of prefectures and counties under the direct rule of the monarch. Although this resolution greatly strengthened the central power, it weakened the power of the imperial clan and nobles.
Although this kind of concentration of power was in line with the interests of the king of Qin, it offended the royal family and noble groups of Qin, damaging the interests of a large number of royal family nobles.
