Chapter 808: The goal is to seal the country, and there is little hope

Ji Ya thought about it for a while, but decided to make a statement. Because her original intention is to create a happy land for the people of the world, I don't know if such a thing happens, it happens to the subordinates who follow her birth and death, and it is also related to the royal family of the Great Zhou, how can she be indifferent as a princess.

Seeing that Princess Ji Ya seemed to have something to say, Xu Shicheng stood up and said: "Your Highness has such benevolence, but it is my blessing in the clouds, but doing so at this time is not beneficial to His Highness and General Geng Chang, and His Highness needs one more condition if he wants to speak out." ”

Seeing that Xu Shicheng was not stopping, Ji Ya also asked, "What does Lord Xu think I need?" She attached great importance to Xu Shicheng's opinion, and the reason why she promoted Xu Shicheng to be the state governor was also because of his ability.

Wu Yan is a down-and-out scholar, although he has talent, his pattern is limited. Jiantu is a small aristocratic background, and he only has more cultural background than others, and all affairs are still slowly learned in Wulonggou. Among the scribes here, only Xu Shicheng was born as an official, not only mixed in the army in the northern Xinjiang, but also served as a magistrate in the south, and was almost framed and killed by someone because he was not afraid of power, whether it was a person or ability, it was not bad in Ji Ya's forces.

If it weren't for the early years to escape the war, she would not have come to the Yunzhong Military Region with her family, so after Qi Diaoyan handed over Ji Ya's information, she decided to reuse Xu Shicheng.

Xu Shicheng said: "Your Highness should first lie dormant for a year, take the opportunity to sweep away the bandits, and govern the clouds." When His Royal Highness's prestige has been completed, the Marquis of Anling can be listed as His Royal Highness's feudal country. ”

"Sealing the country?" Jian Tu was surprised: "The princess was sealed during her lifetime, and there seems to be no precedent in this dynasty." ”

At the beginning of the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the country was still unstable, so there was a royal family to divide the local area to protect the territory and the people. Later, the central government weakened and the local government became larger, and there were rebellions of local royal family members. After that, it gradually evolved into a feudal feud that only sealed the food and did not give power.

Just like the brother of the former king, he was named the Duke of Qianguo. He will be able to enjoy a certain percentage of the financial income of the place he has been sealed, and he will have no real power other than that. After the new king succeeded to the throne, they could no longer be honored as princes, so they began to call the princes. And their descendants will be demoted in turn. Therefore, there are not a few nobles surnamed Ji who can become royal relatives in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but there are no titles.

In addition to the prince, the princess will not be crowned, but will be given another title when she becomes an adult, but there are also princesses who have a higher conduct or have made meritorious contributions to the country and are given a title. For example, in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were several predecessors such as Princess Zhaoguo and Korean Princess, but they all added an honorific title after death, which has no practical significance.

If it is a feudal country, Ji Ya is the same as the Duke of the Kingdom, and the status is equivalent to that of the Duke, and he will officially become a member of the world, so he will naturally have the opportunity to speak out, which is better than being so nameless and scoreless now.

Xu Shicheng said with a smile: "Isn't there no precedent for a living king to be called emperor in this dynasty?"

Everyone is also silent, the king is the supreme ruler of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the one who is higher than the king is the emperor, as a praise for great merit or outstanding deeds, in order to be called the emperor in the nickname. In order to claim the title of king for himself, the Marquis of Shu forcibly prepared to let the king be the emperor, and because of this, he attracted the princes' allied army Chen Bing to pass through the cloud pass.

There are enough ridiculous things like this in troubled times, and this one is not bad. Others also agreed with this opinion, whether Xu Shicheng really proposed it, or just to fool Ji Ya and slow down this matter, this is also the best decision at the moment.

Everyone is persuading, and Ji Ya can only put things down first, start to develop the economy in the clouds, and then crack down on bandits, and strive to become the princess of the feudal country as soon as possible.

After the end of the military discussion, the generals received their respective tasks, because many officers were killed and injured in the Yunzhong Unification War, and a number of officers were dismissed, so some military positions were empty, and Ji Ya promised everyone that they would adjust everyone, which was equivalent to a disguised promise to seal the official.

After everyone thanked each other, they couldn't help but look forward to it, and the entire Yunzhong County also entered the construction in full swing, during which Lin Yue went to the western military town to see Tao Ze, the chief soldier of the West Queen Mother Pass, and the two of them were also embarrassed at this meeting, in the family letter a few years ago, Tao Ze knew that Lin Yue had become his brother-in-law, and also asked about his sister Tao Qi, Lin Yue did not explain much, just said his own things in Yuanzhou briefly, and sent her to Xuanmen to learn art, this matter Lao Taijun has agreed.

Tao Ze also expressed his gratitude to Lin Yue after hearing this, he didn't know much about the things at home all the year round, especially after the Demon Master went south, he almost never had time to go home to visit his relatives, as soon as he heard that Tao Qi was framed, he was trapped in the Xiulou and became thinner and thinner, and his notoriety spread all over the streets and alleys of Yuanzhou, and he almost smashed the tables and chairs at hand. That is, Lin Yue has already leveled the Marquis Mansion, otherwise he would not let go of that group of guys.

As for the matter of supporting the army and respecting themselves, in fact, Xu Shicheng guessed well, it is some distance from the Yunzhong Military Region, and there is no news about the war, and the generals of the Northern Army deliberately scandalized Ji Ya in order to fool Tao Ze. Tao Ze naturally knew what kind of goods these guys were, and he didn't fully believe their words, but he couldn't disbelieve them. So he began to wait and see, in view of Ji Ya's strength in the clouds, Tao Ze was worried and could only prepare for battle.

Now that Lin Yue has come to talk about the matter, Tao Ze understands that his brother-in-law has become the envoy of Yunzhong and his nominal chief, and most of his vigilance has been lowered. Under Lin Yue's bridge, he brought several deputy generals to visit Ji Ya, and after a long and earnest conversation, Tao Ze also sincerely asked to return to him. Ji Ya helped him up and made him the commander-in-chief of the state, so that he could transfer his old troops back from the western border.

Although they are all the titles of the chief soldier, according to the rules of the Great Zhou officialdom, the general soldier of the state capital is half a level higher than the general soldier of the pass, which is equivalent to promoting him to an officer. And the position of the chief soldier of the Queen Mother of the West, Ji Ya decided to hand it over to Huangfu Yan after thinking about it, his Qixia Divine Arrow is unparalleled in the world, and it is never a problem to deal with the grassland ringing horse. Moreover, it can also form a rivalry with Geng Chang in Lanzhou to curb aliens and bandits.

After solving this matter, Lin Yue went to find the magic Luo who had been wandering in the clouds for a long time, she promised to transport supplies for Ji Ya, and after this period of travel, she also got a glimpse of it. Although Ji Ya took this place by war, the several decrees issued one after another were still good, and what she admired most was that as a daughter's family, she dared to stand up and compete with the world's heroes, which was enough for her to help.

So he took a trip to Huadu, during Ji Ya's campaign, Huadu has been stockpiling goods, and Mo Luo did not come empty-handed, with a large number of specialties from the northwest, Yayunle Chamber of Commerce made another profit as soon as he entered and exited.

This time, there were not only a large number of materials, but also a million taels of cash, and even a few gentlemen and men of Qianzhuang, after learning that Ji Ya was in charge of Yunzhong, this time it was the magic Luo who held the magic weapon Qiankun Basket, and simply established the branch of the Northwest Qianzhuang.

......

On the other hand, Ji Ya is ruling in the clouds.

She first sorted out all the assets belonging to the military region, including military fields, pastures, shops and workshops. It turned out that Yunzhong County was not without money, but it could not be spread out according to the system of the entire military region and could not last too long. Therefore, the generals of the Northern Army originally chose the latter between 'everyone can't eat enough together' and 'some people are full and some people are hungry and don't die'.

Now that Ji Ya is here, this must not be the case, and clearing the wasteland has become the top priority. Originally, seeing that everyone was not very resistant to the slave policy, Ji Ya also thought about gradually emancipating the slaves. This time she consulted with a few scribes, and they didn't agree with it. Now that Yunzhong County needs to concentrate on construction, to be realistic, it is more efficient to control slaves by the authorities than to mobilize them on the condition of free bodies.

Even Monmonda said: "Your Highness, I have heard that some of the people of Zhou have been kind enough to release slaves for a while, but most of the slaves who are grateful to Dade have returned within three days of leaving. ”

Ji Ya was also curious about the reason, Monmonda explained: "In fact, the reason is very simple, most of the slaves are engaged in manual work, neither craftsmanship nor literacy, and there is no half an acre of wasteland after being released, plus as a slave to be marked, everywhere you go, you will be recognized, you can't live outside for three days, and naturally they all run back." ”

Ji Ya was also pondering, she didn't know whether the story told by Monmonda was true or false, but it was not unreasonable, and the two of them muttered for a while, and finally threw Ji Ya's freshly baked 'slave six systems' to the staff officers.

The first three articles are a management system, that is, firstly, newborn slaves and young children are not engraved, and secondly, a primary school for slave children is established to ensure that suitable scholars master 200 commonly used words, in fact, 1,000 words can cover most of the written language, but because of the special status of slaves and the cost of education, it is stipulated to be 100 to 200 words. Sometimes an announcement can be contextualized as long as you recognize a few keywords, and two hundred words is about the same. The third is to stipulate the standard of merit for slaves, so as to mobilize their enthusiasm and prepare for future policies.

The last three are the criteria for the promotion of slaves to civilians, one is that those who have made great contributions to their family or the military can be pardoned as civilians, the second is that individuals who have worked in Yunzhong County for more than 50 years can apply for promotion, and the third is that three generations of family members have been slaves in Yunzhong Military Region, and there are two generations of local births, and the youngest generation can apply for promotion. Only the first one is an amnesty, and the last two are applications, and in order not to irritate the world, Monmonda also suggested that Ji Ya control the number of people who are promoted each year.

You must know that Yunzhong County, which is the front-line position, has millions of slaves, which is not very much compared to the tens of thousands of troops today.

Ji Ya's proposal once again embarrassed a few people, Wu Yan is not bad, after all, his background is relatively low, and he has been in the bandit village for more than ten years, and there are not too many prejudices. But Xu Shicheng and Jian Tu are both from families, and they have a trace of resistance to liberating slaves or changing the slavery system, but they also understand that such a system may be able to help Ji Ya.

Yunzhong County, with the help of Lin Yue, has been firmly controlled by Ji Ya, plus the grace of the recent period. Ji Ya's prestige in the army is good. If such a thing is encountered in other places, there will be a dilemma for the gentry of the world, what can the little squires and the little squires do here?

Everyone knew that Ji Ya's ultimate goal was to completely eradicate the slave system, at least in Yunzhong County. But in this way, it is very likely to become a public enemy of the world. The Marquis of Shu wants the king to be the emperor, and the princes of the world are attacking in groups, and Ji Ya wants to move the rights and interests of the family, but I am afraid that it will be the same.

Jian Tu was the first to follow Ji Ya among several people, so he bluntly said the benefits and disadvantages: "Your Highness, the six-nationality system is the foundation of the country, and it has not changed in any dynastic change for thousands of years, and this move is tantamount to self-isolation from the world." ”

The noble is always the noble, and the slave is a slave until death. There have been cases of slaves being favored by their masters and promoted to commoners, but in the end they are individual examples, and in the final analysis, they are still the gifts of the noble, and they will not change anything in this world.

However, such a large-scale, chartered and timed release of slaves is undoubtedly a challenge to the system of the six worldly titles (Gong, Qing, Shi, Min, Li, and Nu). The Marquis of Shu was strong and dared to defy the condemnation of the world and fight against the alliance of the princes with his own strength. The Yunzhong Military Region is full of more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, how can it dare to be the enemy of the princes of the world?

Unexpectedly, Ji Ya said: "Now here, what I need more than the recognition of the so-called corporal doctors in the world is the support of millions of people." What I fought for in the first place, I should know everything. I can compromise some things for the sake of my ideals, but there are some things that I will never give into, and if I am the enemy of this world for this, even if I am guilty of it, I will use all my mana to fight back against the offender!"

Several people were also silent, and they also knew that Ji Ya was more of an idealist than a princess or prince. even did not hesitate to use spells to kill people on a large scale for this reason, even if he died because of this. If Ji Ya has this determination, she will not be able to slaughter tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of people with her skills. Only the brave can not be afraid, and the benevolent can not worry.

Then these systems spread, which immediately caused the surprise of the entire Yunzhong County, and millions of slaves almost burst into tears, because Ji Ya gave them a hope that they had never had, and they couldn't even believe that anyone would really give them such a chance, although Ji Ya's requirements were very high and the prospects were very slim. But newborns don't have to be stigmatized, and the school-age can learn, which is already a real benefit.

While millions of slaves are full of hope, there is a faint restlessness in the entire Yunzhong County, although the life of these soldiers is not much better than that of the slaves, but the prejudice of identity estrangement has always been in the hearts of people, and there is still a long way to go in addition to slavery.
