The night is quiet and deep.

Amid the darkness between heaven and earth, the light in the farmyard of Ping'an Village in Yueyang appeared bright.

Under the dim light of the fire, the swaying figures were reflected on the walls made of rammed loess, adding a different meaning to this silent night.

"well……"

A long sigh sounded in the room, and Gongsun Yang, who was sitting behind a few cases, gently put down the silk book from Anyi in his hand.

He closed his eyes quietly, and after gradually calming down the excitement in his heart, the specific content of this silk book reappeared in Gongsun Yang's mind.

This silk book was written by Wei Feng, the Marquis of Wei, who was in Anyi, and was handed to Sun Boling, who came to serve as Yueyang County Lieutenant to carry with him. It recorded an extremely important event for Qin Dong and even the entire Wei State.

This is why Wei Feng planned to use Yueyang under Gongsun Yang's rule as a pilot project for the implementation of the "land grant system".

Once the "land grant system" achieves good results in the land of Yueyang, then this system that has been implemented in other parts of Wei for decades will be extended to the entire land of Qindong.

In fact, Gongsun Yang had similar thoughts in his mind after he first came to Yueyang and saw the current situation where "public fields are stagnant and private fields are common".

If the land grant system can be implemented in Yueyang and even Qindong, then not only the Li people will be able to obtain enough land to support their lives, but the Wei state will also benefit from it.

Such a thing that kills two birds with one stone is exactly what Gongsun Yang, the magistrate of Yueyang County, hopes for.

However, when the silk book recording Wei Feng's orders was actually handed over to him through the county captain Sun Boling, Gongsun Yang suddenly felt a little panic in his heart.

Although the implementation of a new system can achieve considerable benefits, it is bound to encounter strong resistance from the party whose interests are harmed.

The implementation of the land grant system in Yueyang and even Qindong may be beneficial to ordinary people and the Wei State, but it will harm the interests of local powerful families.

Through these visits to various townships, in addition to understanding the lives of Lishu in Yueyang, Gongsun Yang also basically understood the major families in Yueyang.

Although most of the Qin clans that originally occupied the land east of Qin have left due to Qin's defeat and retreat to the west, a small number of clans headed by Yu, Pi, and Sang still stayed.

Gongsun Yang is just a newcomer here. Can he withstand the pressure of these powerful families and complete the implementation of the "land grant system" in Yueyang?

Even Gongsun Yang himself was not absolutely sure of the answer to this question.

The thoughts in his heart gradually became entangled in one place, and his brows tightened deeply. Gongsun Yang slowly opened his eyes.

The dim lights in front of him gradually became clearer, and Gongsun Yang's eyes fell on Sun Boling opposite.

"Brother Sun, I wonder what you think of this place in Yueyang?"

From the beginning, Sun Boling had been silently paying attention to Gongsun Yang, who was opposite him. Now that he suddenly heard him asking him, some thoughts immediately appeared in his eyes.

"Brother Gongsun, don't blame me. I have some experience in military strategy, but I'm not that good at politics."

"Then I will simply say a few words according to my own opinions. Please don't blame Brother Gongsun if I am wrong."

After a few words of modesty, Sun Boling's face showed a bit of solemnity, "I went all the way west from Anyi, crossed the river, walked through Hexi, and then came to the land of Qindong."

"If I had to use one word to evaluate the land of Qin Dong, based on what I have seen and heard along the way, my answer would definitely be poverty."

"Although Hexi and Qindong are only separated by the Luoshui River, the gap between the two places can be seen by anyone who is interested at a glance."

"I've only been in Yueyang for one day, but I think even if Yueyang is better than other places in Qindong, it's probably only a little better, right?"

After telling Gongsun Yang all about his views on the land of Qin Dong, Sun Boling's thoughts also started to flow at a high speed.

Originally, his strategy against Qin was to rely on the land east of Qin, first go north to defeat the Rongdi tribes such as Yiqu and others who were entrenched in the north of the original Qin State, and then launch an attack on Qin from the east and north.

After seeing the current situation of Qin Dong's land with his own eyes, Sun Boling realized that it was not as easy as imagined to realize his previous ideas.

Since ancient times, "before the troops and horses are moved, food and grass should go first" has always been the principle of military strategists. However, how could Qindong, a land so impoverished today, be able to provide the Wei army with the resources to complete such a large-scale operation?

As his thoughts flowed here, Sun Boling had a better understanding of the purpose of Wei Hou Wei Feng's proposal to him for the position of Yueyang County Magistrate after he rejected the Qin Dong Camp Commander.

The land of Qindong is of vital significance to the Wei State's future cause of destroying Qin, and in order to implement everything, the land of Qindong must be restored and even prosperous.

Sun Boling slowly brought his mind back to reality, and his vision towards Gongsun Yang in front of him gradually became clearer.

After listening to Sun Boling's comments, Gongsun Yang's eyes slowly showed a hint of approval.

"Yes, as Brother Sun said, even if the land of Qindong today is Yueyang, it cannot compare with other parts of Wei in terms of wealth and prosperity."

"In the past twenty years, under the diligent governance of Duke Qin, the land of Qindong has finally recovered from the chaos of the Four Generations Rebellion;"

"But a huge war between Wei and Qin turned that vitality into ashes again."

After lamenting the suffering in the land of Qindong, Gongsun Yang thought of the position he was in at the moment, the plight of Lishu in Yueyang that he had seen these days, and the position he had established when he left Anyi.

ambition.

After thinking about many things for a long time, Gongsun Yang's eyes gradually gathered a firm gaze.

"Since I, Gongsun Yang, am now the magistrate of Yueyang County, I should help the Li people under my rule escape from this difficult situation."

"Today, if we want to achieve this goal, we can only implement the land granting system implemented by Prime Minister Li Kui in Wei."

When he said this, Gongsun Yang's eyes moved to Sun Boling opposite, "I wonder if Brother Sun would be willing to lend a helping hand to Yang Yang?"

When Gongsun Yang's question rang in his ears, Sun Boling also thought of a lot in his mind.

He thought about the agreement he made with his senior brother Pang Juan outside Anyi City that day, and what he had seen and heard along the way, and even thought about the strategy to destroy Qin that he had dreamed up in front of Wei Hou Wei Feng...

As his thoughts were racing, Sun Boling suddenly discovered something. I am afraid that everything he will accomplish in the future will be based on the goal Gongsun Yang just proposed.

For his own strategy of destroying Qin, and for the ambition he had made, Sun Boling's eyes slowly fell on the determined face opposite him.

"Sun Boling, Lieutenant of Yueyang County, is willing to lend a helping hand to the county magistrate."

"color!"

After the cheers fell, Gongsun Yang slowly stretched out his right hand, and Sun Boling, who saw this scene, also stretched out his right hand.

Under the dim light of the room, Gongsun Yang and Sun Boling held their hands so tightly, and the smiles on their faces looked so bright.
