Prime Minister, don't pick up on integrity

In January 1848, gold exposed on the surface of San Francisco was discovered. In 1, California on the other side of the ocean set off a worldwide gold rush.

In 1967, the war between Arabs and Israel broke out, and the subsequent Middle East wars were aimed at robbing precious water resources.

In China more than 2000 years ago, the most important thing was not rare ores, or water resources.

In that era, there were two things that determined the fate of a country, one was land and the other was population.

Land determines the arable area and food production, while the population directly determines the military strength of a country.

But at that time, Li Si proposed a plan to make the poor and weak South Korea strong without relying on land or increasing the population.

There is only one thing they have to rely on——

Rich iron ore in South Korea.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, due to the immaturity of iron smelting technology, soldiers fought and farmers plowed land, including carriages used as transportation, were basically cast in bronze, and only a few areas began to use iron farm tools.

Although South Korea's iron smelting technology is relatively advanced compared with other countries, and it has the reputation of "the most powerful bows and crossbows in the world are all made in Korea", but ironware has not been fully promoted nationwide.

It was not until the Qin Dynasty that with the maturity of iron smelting technology, ironware was promoted across the country, which set off a revolution in productivity.

Li Si, who has experienced that era, naturally knows very well how important iron ore is to a country.

Using artificial means to mine in large quantities, and greatly promoting iron farm tools and weapons in South Korea, South Korea's food production and military strength will have a qualitative leap.

This is the first policy proposed by Li Si in South Korea, the policy of enriching the country.

"After the country is rich, it can strengthen its army. Qin's infantry and cavalry are strong, while South Korea relies on rich iron ore to develop long-distance crossbowmen, supplemented by armored cavalry."

Listening to Li Si talking so eloquently, Zhang Ping fell into silence. He always felt that something was wrong. It was impossible that the reform would not touch the interests of those clan and nobles, and there could only be some problems.

On this issue, Li Si avoided talking about it, which made Zhang Ping even more uneasy.

He vaguely felt that the person in front of him was really planning to follow the example of Shen Buhai, and he would not give up until he turned South Korea upside down and ended up dead.

Zhang Ping suddenly regretted that he had chosen Li Si at the beginning, which meant that there was still a future, and his fate, the fate of South Korea, was tightly held in Li Si's hands.But apart from regret, Zhang Ping had more expectations in his heart. He was looking forward to what kind of vitality South Korea would radiate after the reform.

===

Zhang Ping's guess was right. The two points Li Si just said were only a small part of the content of the reform.

After the conversation with Zhang Ping was over, Li Si immediately returned home and spent a whole day working out a set of strategies for South Korea's reform, called: "Six Laws for Changing Korea".

When the last word on the bamboo slips was written, Li Si, who had not rested for a whole day and night, had reached his limit. He threw the brush in his hand on the desk, and fell asleep. After drinking a few large altars of Lanling wine, I fell asleep like dying.

When he woke up again, Li Si found that he was already lying on the couch in the room. Li Si had no memory of how he got from the desk to the couch.

After rubbing his aching head, Li Si vaguely remembered that after he fell asleep, someone seemed to call his name. Could it be... Could it be a servant of this mansion?

Putting on his clothes, shoes and socks in a daze, Li Si walked out of the inner room with a huff. After sleeping for so long, Li Si was also a little hungry. When he saw a figure walking in from the door, Li Si greeted him directly. : "Bring some food."

The figure paused for a moment, and then, a familiar voice came into Li Si's ears with a chuckle.

"So, is Junior Brother hungry?"

Li Si shuddered and instantly sobered up.

At some point, Han Fei had arrived at his original mansion.

"Your Majesty..."

While saying this, Li Si wanted to salute, but Han Fei had already walked in front of him quickly and helped Li Si, who had bent slightly, up.

"Junior brother doesn't need to be polite. If there is no junior brother, I can't be the king of Han. In private, you and I should still be called senior brothers."

Li Si hesitated slightly, and looked up at Han Fei in front of him.

Although Han Fei is already the king of Han, he has no airs of being a king at all. In addition, Li Si and Han Fei have been together day and night for three years, and Li Si is really not used to serving his senior brother as a monarch suddenly. Having said that, Li Si stopped being polite, and facing the person in front of him, Li Si clasped his hands and shouted again: "Senior brother."

Han Fei smiled in satisfaction, and took out another roll of bamboo slips from his sleeve.

"I've already read the "Six Laws of Changing Korea". There are some places that I need to discuss in detail with my junior. I don't know if my junior will appreciate it. Come back to the palace to have a meal with me. We will talk while eating."

Seeing that the bamboo slips he had written were in Han Fei's hands, Li Si suddenly realized that it was Han Fei who moved him from the front of the case to the couch. Thinking of this, Li Si couldn't help but blush, and quickly agreed.

The four-horse chariot drove all the way from Li Si's mansion back to the palace, and when it arrived at Han Fei's bedroom, the sky had already begun to darken.

After ordering Uncle Zheng to light a few candles and serve some food and wine, Li Si and Han Fei began to discuss the "Six Ways to Change Korea".

The first and second of these six methods are the two methods Li Si said to Zhang Ping before, one: open iron mines and promote ironware.

Two: Develop crossbowmen and armored cavalry, and reward military exploits.

The other four rules are:

Three: Abandon the well fields and open up fields.

Four: Cut the clan fief and re-plan the land.

Five: Clear laws, reward meritorious deeds and punish crimes.

Six: It is strictly forbidden to form a party for personal gain.

Back then, when Qin Xiaogong met Wei Yang, the two talked for three days and three nights about the "Nine Treatises on Governing Qin" proposed by Wei Yang. Life shortened to one night.

The reason for this was not that Han Fei didn't pay attention to the "Six Laws of Changing the Qin Dynasty", but that Han Fei knew Li Si and his proposals too well.

As far as these six items are concerned, Han Fei already understood the meaning without Li Siduo's explanation. What Li Si said was what Han Fei wanted to say. No one can understand Han Fei's thoughts better than Li Si, and no one can understand Han Fei better than Han Fei. I don't know Li Si better.

Even sometimes, the two of them don't need to speak, they just need to look at each other, and they already understand each other.

Before I knew it, the candles in the room had been burned out, and it was dawn.

Li Si, on the other hand, had already mentioned the sixth point.

At this moment, Han Fei and Li Si were no longer sitting on the table, but lying crookedly on the bed, the wine glasses beside them were scattered, and the clothes of the two were messy. With a bright red face, Han Fei suddenly had an impulse. He wanted to tell Li Si now how much he admired him.

Han Fei's hand had already quietly held Li Si's hand, and when he was about to speak, he heard Li Si's voice that was already a little hoarse: "Article [-], forming a party for personal gain is strictly prohibited. This is formulated according to the specific conditions of South Korea."

Han Fei woke up suddenly, and suddenly let go of Li Si's hand.

"Brother, what's the matter?" Li Si asked in confusion.

Han Fei waved his hand slightly: "It's nothing, Junior Brother will continue."

Li Si glanced at Han Fei inexplicably, and continued: "Since Zhaohou, the rule of law has become popular in Korea. Monarchs and officials are obsessed with playing power and tricks, and they don't do anything in their positions. The sixth article is In order to stifle this unhealthy wind that is playing power."

On the other hand, Han Fei was already in a cold sweat.

Just now, he almost ruined Korea.

After the reform strategy was formulated, he expressed his heart to his younger brother. If his younger brother accepts him, everyone will be happy, but if his younger brother refuses...

Perhaps, this reform plan and South Korea will be destroyed in his hands.

After a long silence in the room, Li Si said again:

"Senior brother should understand that it is difficult for a person who reforms to die well. I just hope that senior brother can trust me with all his heart. You and I will never lose each other."

"Junior brother, don't worry, Han Fei will never betray the king throughout his life!"

Their hands were clasped tightly, and their eyes were already moist.

It is extremely rare to have a confidant in a lifetime, and this person in front of him, even a confidant, is also a virtuous minister, and even the object of his heart and soul. How could Han Fei not be excited.

And Li Si had already got up and filled a glass of wine for himself and Han Fei.

"Brother! Come! Take this wine as proof!"

Han Fei took the title and drank it down.

"For the rest of Han Fei's life, he will never betray the king", this is Han Fei's oath to Li Si, but the premise of this oath is: Li Si must never betray Han Fei.
