Chapter 79 Shangshou! Shang Zhou! !
The country cannot be said to be without a king, so not long after the death of Emperor Yi, Shang Shou ascended the throne. It is called Di Xin, that is, the well-known tyrant Shang Zhou.
Not long after Shang Zhou ascended the throne, he reorganized the imperial line and carried out some personnel transfers. Generally, he still maintained the appearance of Emperor Yi when he was in office, but he appointed Fei Zhong as a doctor, and You Hun followed him to be responsible for the relevant matters of life. As for Fei Lian, he was still a scholar and doctor, and there was no change. This is Fei. Lian himself asked for it, otherwise Shang Zhou would definitely raise it to a higher position. In short, the small roles that originally supported Shang Zhou were used to a certain extent. On the contrary, those who supported the other two princes were suppressed to a certain extent. Fortunately, Shang Zhou also dealt with it appropriately and moderately, and Wen Zhong and others could not be soon after Shang Zhou ascended the throne. Oppose its will.
And Shen Gongbao was awarded the title of national teacher. He can face the saint without worship, and there is no need to report when entering the palace. For a while, he was in the limelight. As for the position of director of Qitai Hospital, he was handed over to Lao Liu. In this way, Shen Gongbao is a real political core of the big business.
In this way, under the service of his entourage, Shang Zhou passed through the Star Building, the Xishan Hall and the branch office building, came to the nine halls, and began to go up to the court. Sitting down, all the civil and military officials have come. Each of them stood in his own column. In front, Wen Zhong was located in the first column of civil servants. After Shang Rong, he was second. As for Shen Gongbao, it was not a big deal. You don't have to go to court. Of course, the head of the military officer is Huang Feihu, the king of Zhenguo Wucheng.
After the civil and military officials saluted, Shang Zhou sat on the dragon throne and said in a low voice, "Although King Gu has just ascended the throne, he has been concerned about the government before, so the King Gu has an idea to discuss it with all the lovers."
After a moment, Shang Zhou said again: "Since I became the founding of Tang, I have killed slaves and prisoners. In this way, it is a great waste of human and material resources. Therefore, King Gu decided to abolish this old malpractice and let these slaves and prisoners engage in the cause of farming and mulberry, or make contributions to supplement the army and join the army. What do you think, Aiqing?
As soon as Shang Zhou said this, the civil and military officials were in an uproar. On the one hand, they marveled that Shang Zhou dared to abolish the decision of the previous king soon after he ascended the throne, and on the other hand, they were also thinking about the feasible surname of Shang Zhou's words.
After a long time, Wen Zhong said respectfully, "Your Majesty, although this method seems good, is it difficult to discipline? After all, some of those slaves and prisoners are ferocious people, and I'm afraid it's inappropriate."
Shang Zhou smiled and said, "What the master thought, the king of loneliness has already thought of it. It is the king of loneliness to decide those female surnames of prisoners or slaves to engage in farming and mulberry, and order people to discipline them. As for the male surnames, the king of loneliness decided to establish a death camp. Those male **lis and prisoners all entered the death camp, and they must stay in the death camp. , discipline, when fighting, everyone in the dead camp must rush to the front!"
As soon as Shang Zhou's words fell, all the civil and military officials were in their hearts, and they felt a cool air rising from the bottoms of his feet. Shang Zhou's meaning was very clear, that is, to let these slaves or prisoners use the waste to consume the enemy's living power in every war, which must be said to be fierce!
What is courage? What is domineering? This is courage! This is domineering!
Not long after Shang Zhou ascended the throne, this policy will inevitably make the big merchants think that it is very cruel and fierce, but it is very inappropriate for its reputation.
The ministers were silent for a long time. Finally, Huang Feihu came out and said, "Your Majesty, this plan is feasible, I support it!"
Huang Feihu is a general, but also a general who cherishes soldiers. There is no woman's kindness on the battlefield, otherwise he will destroy himself. Although Shang Zhou's method is a little inhumane, it is a great good news for the military and civilian soldiers of Dashang. With the charge of the death camp, the Dashang can reduce casualties to a minimum every time he fights. Huang Feihu, as a general who has been fighting for many years, of course, supports such a decision.
From this, Huang Feihu even thought that if he fought with the barbarians such as Dongyi again, he would no longer be afraid of their strange skills. When their strange skills were consumed by the people in the dead camp, how could they be the opponents of the strong merchants and strong soldiers? Maybe next time, they could completely step on Dongyi and other barbarians. The land of Yi has completely stabilized the great merchants.
Wen Zhong has the same idea as Huang Feihu. Although Wen Zhong is a civil servant, he is a bursting civil servant. He does not have the scholarly spirit of a civil servant. He has fought countless battles with Emperor Yi in his life. Of course, he knows the beauty of Shang Zhou's method, so he said in unison, "This plan is the blessing of my big business soldiers, and I support it!"
The officials led by Yiwen and Yiwu agreed, and the officials below dared not to reconsider. Although Bigan Shangrong and others felt that this law was too cruel, not more than the benefit of the country and the people, they explained the rest of the ministers and said, "Your Majesty, I will reconsider!"
Shang Zhou laughed a few times and was very happy. His first decision was supported by everyone. How could he be unhappy?
Then Shang Zhou successively told some ideas he had summarized for many years with the ministers, let them discuss, and finally issued several imperial edicts one after another, which means to attach importance to agriculture, vigorously develop agriculture, and at the same time establish a death camp. If the soldiers in the death camp can establish enough merit, they can also break away from it. Dead camp, reuse for big business, etc.
With the promulgation of this series of policies, the whole big merchants began a vigorous development of agriculture and mulberry, and the army of the big merchants on the other side also expanded again, with fierce soldiers, rich countries and strong soldiers.
Since Shang Zhou came to power, he really handled political affairs conscientiously. Every day, in addition to reading the memorials of the ministers, he also diligently read the classics of the previous kings and other readings. He worked very hard. If it goes on like this all the time, there will be no change. Maybe the great business will not perish, and Shang Zhou will not be after Xia Jie. A tyrant known for his later generations.
But he said that when Shang Zhou was diligent in handling state affairs, Shen Gongbao met a special familiar guest, who was Ao Bing, the third prince of the East China Sea.
In Shen Gongbao's mansion, Shen Gongbao and Ao Bing, who turned into a human form, sat looking at each other. Shen Gongbao said lightly, "I don't know why the third prince has the leisure to come to this secular world today?"
Ao Bing smiled bitterly and said, "Master, I don't have this leisure, but by the order of my father, I want to invite the Taoist priest to my East China Sea Dragon Palace again."
"Oh?" Shen Gongbao raised his eyebrows and said doubtfully, "I don't know what the Dragon King wants to invite poor people to go?"
Ao Bing shook his head and said, "My father didn't mention anything to me, but his expression was very solemn. I want to discuss something important with the Taoist priest."
Shen Gongbao pondered for a moment and then said, "Well, if you deal with secular affairs, just go to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea once and meet your father. You don't have to wait for me. Go back before."
After listening, Ao Bing nodded and said with a smile, "Well, I will leave first and wait for the arrival of the Taoist priest in the Dragon Palace!"
"Good!" Shen Gongbao called, and then Ao Bing left by himself.
After Ao Bing left, Shen Gongbao sat silently in the chair for a long time. After a long time, he touched his goat's beard and muttered, "Ao Guang asked me to go at this time. What's going on earth? Did something happen to the dragon clan? However, the dragon clan doesn't seem to have encountered anything big in the gods, except for Ao Bing..."
After meditating for a long time, Shen Gongbao shook his head and sighed, "Forget it, you will know. Now you'd better deal with the things around you."
Then Shen Gongbao went to find Shang Ziyi. He said that he was going out for a period of time, and then came to the palace and gave Shang Zhou a few suggestions. While he was asked to work hard, he should also pay attention to reducing taxes and winning the hearts of the people. He must not be exhausted and lose the hearts of the people. He will also "water can carry the boat, and can also overturn the boat" and "win the hearts of the people." Two words were given to Shang Zhou. Shang Zhou was a talented person. He understood the meaning without saying more, and hung these two sentences on a plaque in the study to remind himself every day.
After that, Shen Gongbao explained to Shang Zhou that he needed to go out for a few days. Shang Zhou agreed without asking anything. After Shen Gongbao left Chaoge, he went to Xiqi to see the Boyi Examination and found that everything was good. The Boyi Examination was no longer so annoying political affairs, so he happily left Xiqi and looked at the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea.
