Chapter 036: Reform and Fortune of the Dead

Of course, the various ceremonies of the funeral of the ancestors are all agreed upon and matured, and there is a special team to handle them.

But the funeral goods are not sloppy, the ancients regarded death as life, and they had to bring their feet and everything.

Zhao Suhou has been fighting or provoking a war all his life, and he has not stopped for a year, so the chariots and horses for the burial are indispensable, starting from a hundred chariots. This alone is equivalent to the number of troops of a small vassal state. Just this one burial is equivalent to the destruction of a small country.

Of course, after hundreds of years of development, population growth and productivity improvement, now there are several countries of ten thousand times, and the country of thousands of times can only be regarded as a weak country, and a small country of one hundred times has long been wiped out in the belly of a big country.

Now Zhao Guo took out a hundred times to accompany the funeral, it was just a drizzle, and the Empress Dowager Zhao, who was sad for this, thought it was shabby, so Zhao Yong also felt ashamed in her grief. So, according to the rules and etiquette, the ministers are to be dedicated, which is equivalent to the followers of the later generations, and everyone made up another 200 times, which made everyone feel at ease.

Then there is the burial of weapons, long and short spears, bows, crossbows and arrows, which can equip a fully equipped army. The Son of Heaven has only three armies, which is equivalent to destroying one army.

This kind of burial is already equivalent to Zhao and other vassal states, and they have fought a war of moderate intensity.

As for everything that the first king used, all of them were buried with him, so that the first king used it in the ground. The amount of money in other treasures and treasures is equal to the total treasury of a medium-sized country.

This funeral alone cost one-third of Zhao's wealth. Not to mention, in ancient times, it was really impossible to die.

However, there was a disagreement about the martyred soldiers, servants, eunuchs, and slaves.

The difference is not between humanity and inhumanity, but the number and how much can match Zhao Suhou's identity.

There is a consensus among the nobles in the world, that is, people, or slaves, are the real wealth, and the reason why everyone is opposed is because the monarch is not all paid by the state, but everyone wants to follow the share, and it is to express their hearts.

It doesn't matter if it's gold, jewelry, but people do, and that's what really matters to everyone's property. So while maintaining the aristocratic demeanor and showing their love and sorrow for the ancestors, everyone did everything possible not to want more slaves to be buried.

According to the rules, the eunuchs and palace maids who had served before the first monarch, as well as the concubines who had not been born and raised, must be buried with them for the first monarch to continue to enjoy underground.

When this topic was discussed, a wave of sorrow permeated the entire hall.

Zhao Xing looked at it, and the original little eunuch and the palace maids around him all looked desperate.

Zhao Xing sighed, saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, at this time, it's time to take action and save these innocents. Carry out a funeral reform. As the saying goes, reform is everywhere?

Standing up, facing the monarch and the ministers, Zhao Xing said: "The martyrdom of the first king should be grand, how can the first king have no face because of the few martyrs, I will give a thousand to show my sorrow." ”

With just this sentence, these immediately gained countless eyes that killed him.

The new nobles will give a thousand, and the other old nobles can only give a thousand, is this a human life?

Of course, Fei Yi knew about Zhao Xing's family background, so he smiled and mocked: "Sir, you don't even have a groom to drive a car now, and you don't even have a little girl to serve. "It means that you are too shameless and shameless in your eagerness to behave.

Zhao Xing swore that "martyrdom is against the peace of heaven, and the palace maid eunuch is buried with him, which is even more inhumane, then, I will let the palace maid eunuch fund and use the terracotta figurines of the same size as a substitute, which not only solves the loss of our population, but also respects the former king." Then he asked the eunuchs and palace maids directly: "Give me a hundred dollars, put your soul on the terracotta figurines, and bury the former king, is it okay?" ”

The eunuchs and palace maids in the hall knelt down without hesitation: "Yes." ”

Then Zhao Xing looked at the other ministers, "Two hundred yuan, terracotta figurines to accompany the burial, in exchange for your slaves, can you?" ”

This is definitely a blatant and outrageous practice of burning newspapers and fooling ghosts. But no one has come forward to condemn this heinous practice.

Of course, there was an old man who wanted to stand up, but the hundreds of murderous eyes in the palace turned into knives, and he immediately retreated.

What did he hesitate to do, he agreed, even if it was a thousand dollars, although he obviously knew that Zhao Xing had made a hundred dollars in it.

Then Zhao Xing proudly said to Zhao Yong, who was on the throne: "According to statistics, ten thousand people were buried for the ancestors. ”

And Zhao Yong is happy, the remaining population, no matter whose hands this population is left in, is the population of Zhao State, and the body of the terracotta figurines has been given the soul of the person who paid the money, fooling the ghost? OK.

And the most important thing is that 10,000 people are buried, and in the vassal states, they have face, quite face.

Zhao Xing stopped the excited minister and said loudly: "The terracotta figurines must be armor to show the strength of the ancestors, so I will make terracotta figurines for you, but you must give me weapons, armor and equipment to equip these terracotta figurines." ”

All the ministers and doctors knelt down together without hesitation: "Huh." ”

So Zhao Xing thought, at least 10,000 terracotta figurines, and when the time comes, he will harvest the first pot of gold in this world.

This is a happy ending, this is the beginning of the world, and it is because of this that Qin Shi Huang has the Terracotta Army.

Of course, if you come by yourself, is there still Qin Shi Huang? Then he'll have to wait.

The first to reform the funeral system, and won everyone's favor, Zhao Xing has a sense of accomplishment, making him feel that in fact, isn't it difficult to reform.

These are just details, and more details need to be worked out slowly.

The key event is to send envoys to mourn Zhou Tianzi, and then report the mourning to the princes of the world.

In fact, Zhao Suhou's reputation among the princes is quite bad, the main thing is that this guy is too belligerent. Since he ascended the throne, he has not stopped for a year, and he has fought with the surrounding princes once. But he is still a man of mediocre ability, and he has never won a complete victory.

People are like this, when you completely subdue him, he will kneel in front of you and respect you, but if you can't beat him, or don't convince him, he will despise you. Therefore, this time to report the funeral to the princes, it is estimated that no one will come.

The funeral of the monarch is not a simple matter, and the whole process cannot be completed in a year and a half. After the funeral, Zhao Yong can send an envoy to Zhou Tianzi to report to confirm that he is the monarch of Zhao Guoguo, not counting now, now it can only be recognized by his own family, this is called right or waiting, waiting to wait, is the meaning of temporary workers.

It's just that this temporary worker is already a certainty.
