Chapter 157: From Slavery to Feudalism

The murderous five-person group gathered again, eating the sumptuous wine and food made by Zhao Xing's money and Zhao Xing's cook, and Fei Yi asked again: "From now on, should I call you Tang Hou, or the national teacher, the fake appearance, Xingjun, Xingzi, or Lin Hu Xianggang?" ”

The last time I asked this, I was with envy, but this time, although my expression was smiling, it seemed to be a joke, but the taste of politics was greater.

As soon as such a question came out, all the people didn't squeak, but ate the wine and food in front of them, but Zhao Xing had clearly seen that everyone's ears were like radar antennas, pointing at him.

King Zhao Yongcheng, when he was the king of the Five Kingdoms, everyone recognized each other, but he was not recognized by Zhou Tianzi, in fact, he did not count in legal theory. In fact, he is still the marquis who forced Zhou Tianzi to be crowned, that is to say, now Zhao Xing and Zhao Yong are on the same level, and in legal theory, Zhao Xing is more orthodox and more justifiable.

So, right now, the position of the two of them is quite awkward, and in principle, the position of the two of them should be reversed now.

Of course, Zhao Xing dared to make this request, and Fei Yi would not hesitate to greet the ambushed knife and axe man, and cut him to add vegetables to everyone.

Zhao Xing said with a smile while picking up vegetables: "If the king continues to be willing to accept my teachings, I am the master, if the country still needs my service, I am a fake, if everyone here wants to continue to associate with me, I really want you to call me Xingzi, if everyone annoys me, I will run back to Daijun to be my Xingjun and hold the child." ”

Hearing such an answer, Zhao Xing heard the voices of all the people who breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Yong said to Zhao Xing: "Master, I heard that your Daijun has implemented a series of reform policies and achieved very good results, I don't know what Master can teach me." ”

Fei Yi put down his chopsticks: "Xingzi's reform in Daijun is actually a demonstration preparation for the transformation of my Zhao Kingdom, let's talk about it, what should we do?" ”

Le Chi looked envious: "Xingzi Hufu cavalry shooting, with only 15,000 cavalry, annihilated 80,000 Wei State, forced the famous Zhang Yi to death, and forced back 100,000 strong Qin tigers and wolves." Such a brilliant record has shown us the power of Hufu cavalry and archery, and we should put the reform of the Hufu cavalry and archery army on the agenda. ”

Liao Chong said with envy and jealousy: "Originally, Daijun, who had to be subsidized by the state every year, didn't expect that in just two years, not only did he become self-sufficient, but also had the ability to feed 20,000 armed cavalry of his family. This is really enviable, tell me, how did you do it? ”

Empress Dowager Zhao was not very satisfied: "Your Xingjun's development has caused my mother's family to suffer, and I am ready to settle this account with you." ”

Zhao Xing said with a relaxed face: "Queen Mother, is her mother's family closer or her son closer?" I have done my duty for your son. Therefore, the ministers thought that the Queen Mother should reward me instead of preparing to settle accounts and punish me after the autumn, and asked the Queen Mother to reward the ministers with three glasses of wine. ”

Empress Dowager Zhao smiled and spat him: "Inch by inch, villain, I should be worried that my son will be badly taught by you." ”

With this answer, the atmosphere relaxed again.

Zhao Xing said to Zhao Yong: "The reform of all countries is to see blood, and I don't want to see such a situation." ”

Zhao Yong pushed away the wine glass in front of him and sighed: "In order to implement the Tui En Order, we still fought a civil war. If it weren't for the kindness of the master and the widow, I don't know how many people would have fallen to the ground. "Dogs

Zhao Xing said: "But the turmoil we provoked this time will be of great significance to our Zhao Kingdom for thousands of years to come." ”

"Xingzi said to listen to it, and also to avoid the panic and guilt in our hearts." Fat righteousness is also a helpless way.

To tell the truth, this disaster was instigated by a few people here and done it deliberately, and everyone really felt a little guilty for this kind of trouble caused by nothing. In the country of chaos, there is no such law of chaos.

Zhao Xing talked eloquently: "First, let us see clearly who those lords really serve the country and who are half-hearted. It's better to jump out early than late. We not only cut off their family arms, but also recovered a large area of land, strengthened the centralization of power, and more importantly, eradicated the hidden danger of Gongzijie. ”

It's a good thing to kill multiple birds with one stone, and everyone thinks it's right.

"At the same time, it subdued the Wei State, made the prestige of the Zhao State soar, and let us take a solid step in the struggle for world domination." As soon as I said this, everyone's mood rose a lot.

"And more importantly, let our prestige status among the people of the country be unprecedentedly stable, and enhance the good reputation of the king's benevolence, which has an absolute foundation for the changes we are about to implement, and has laid the foundation for us to enrich the country and strengthen the army to dominate the world." Then he said word by word: "Clearing the way for change is my ultimate goal." ”

Everyone pondered for a while, and finally had to admire: "Xingzi takes one step and looks at three steps, we are far behind." ”

Zhao Xingdao: "Whatever a person does, he must first set a big goal, and then during this period, all actions will revolve around this big goal, so that he will not lose his way and finally achieve his goal." ”

Zhao Yong said excitedly: "Since we have paved the way for the transformation of Zhao Kingdom, let's change." ”

Now that the internal and external troubles have been lifted, it is time to carry out reforms, and this is already a matter of course.

At the same time, Zhao Xing also thinks that he has been patronizing the war recently, and he has been a little slack in his regular business reform, and there is a sense of not doing his proper business.

"Change is necessary, but change should not be stormy, it should be carried out in a gentle manner, so that everyone can benefit, and those who benefit will stand firmly on our side. This is our foundation, if we want to enrich the country and strengthen the army, we must start from enriching the people, only when the people's lives are abundant, can we create wealth for the country. ”

There is no need for Zhao Xing to say this, everyone understands it.

"The three-year method of freeing slaves in my Daijun has had a noticeable effect. Only by emancipating slaves and turning them into nationals of the country can the population be the dividend of the country. If it is in the hands of those lords, it will not be beneficial to the country at all, but it will be a hidden danger to the country, so we should strike first on this point. ”

China's slavery system began to disintegrate from the beginning of the reforms of Wei Wenhou Li Kui, but it was not complete. It was not until Qin Shi Huang unified the Central Plains that the feudal society was opened and the slave society ended.

There are many types of slaves in China, and the causes are also very different, Chinese slavery began in the Xia Dynasty, through the Shang Dynasty, the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Spring and Autumn Period, and slavery has gradually disappeared during the Warring States Period. In the Qin and Han dynasties, slavery was completely replaced by feudalism. During the Xia, Shang, Zhou, and Qin dynasties, slaves were mostly produced in war, and soldiers and civilians captured by the enemy became slaves, and some were reduced to slaves for crimes.
