During the Warring States period, Shang Martin's fame was very large, and the general trend of the unification of the Qin State was largely attributed to shang martingale's change in the Qin state. He was one of the representative figures of the Legal Family, and when Shang Martin's reputation was not yet apparent, he served as the middle son of gong shu in the State of Wei, and Gongsun Huan greatly appreciated this young man, and it can be said that Gong Shu was the first Bole of Shang Martin.
When his uncle was seriously ill with acne, King Hui of Wei asked who could take his place, and Gongsun Xuan highly recommended Shang Martingale, but King Hui of Wei disagreed. Gong Shu saw the mind of King Wei Hui, who had not yet succeeded to the throne, so Gong Shu admonished: "If you don't use Shang Martingale, after succeeding to the throne, you must kill him and not let him flow into other countries." King Hui of Wei agreed.
Because Shang Martin was very young at that time, how could Wei Guo give the position of Xiang Guo to a hairy boy, but King Hui of Wei did not kill Shang Martingale. At this time, the State of Wei, under the leadership of Wei Wenhou, had become the largest country in the Central Plains, with very strong national strength and the momentum of dominating the Central Plains, and the State of Qin also had to look up. It was about to sweep through the Six Kingdoms, but Wei Wenhou died, and the invincible general Wu Qi also left. But the most fatal thing is the departure of Shang Martin.
Because it could not be reused, and Qin Xiaogong was recruiting talents, so Shang Martin came to the Qin State, and after several twists and turns, Shang Martin finally got the reuse of the Qin State, so the Shang Martin began to implement the change method throughout the Qin State. The contents of the reform and change law are:
Household registration system, continuous sitting law, this household registration is similar to the current household registration book, everyone must have an IDENTITY card, sitting continuously is a group of fifteen people, one person has committed what crime, others know not to report, all regarded as the same crime, because of this regulation, the security of the Qin State is surprisingly good.
The system of rewards and punishments for military merit, the State of Qin stipulates that the battlefield can behead the head of the enemy, count the attack, fear the battle is not the former, and get guilty, so the soldiers of the State of Qin are very brave in battle, which is also the origin of the "Tiger and Wolf Division" of the Qin State, because the Qin Army is often beheaded. There were also some other changes in the law, such as the abolition of the Shiqing Shilu system, the emphasis on agriculture and the suppression of commerce, etc., which made the Qin state look new and its national strength rise sharply.
Regarding the Shang martingale transformation method, there is also a small story, when the Shang martingale transformation law was promulgated in the folk, many people did not believe it, so the shang martingale erected a hundred pounds of wood in the west of the city, claiming that who could carry the wood to the east of the city and reward ten gold. Because the wood is not heavy, and the ten gold is a large amount of wealth, so many people do not believe, so the martingale increased to a hundred gold, or do not believe, increased to a thousand gold, finally someone could not bear it, carrying the wood to the east of the city, as a result, the martingale really rewarded this person with a thousand gold, so the people were very shocked, therefore, the martingale won the trust of the people, this is the story of the wood Lixin.
For the results of the change of law, Qin Xiaogong was very happy, and Shang Martin also helped the Qin state to regain the land of Hexi from the hands of the State of Wei and drive the State of Wei back to Hedong, which is also the origin of "Thirty Years of Hedong and Thirty Years of Hexi", and made such an unworldly achievement, Qin Xiaogong gave Shangmartin a very large fief, called "Shang", so he was called Shang Martingale, in fact, his real name was Gongsun Martingale. Unfortunately, after King Hui of Qin succeeded to the throne, in order to gain the support of the nobles, he split the Martingale car and died, and a generation of famous courtiers died tragically, but the political measures he left for the Qin State have been continued, and he has made indelible contributions to the unification of the Qin State.
If King Hui of Wei had obeyed his uncle's words and appointed Shang Martin as his chancellor, would it have been the State of Wei who would have unified the world? I think not, because the State of Qin is located in Guanzhong, the people's customs have not yet been opened, therefore, he urgently needs political talents, Shang Martingale is very much in line with the needs of the State of Qin, and the State of Wei, has experienced the Li Wu Transformation Law, has been saturated in political construction, the State of Wei is in the land of four wars, what he needs is military talents like Wu Qi and Sun Zhen, so even if Shang Martin stays in the State of Wei, he cannot make much contribution, let alone help the unification of the State of Wei.
