Chapter 321: New Wang Liwei
After the matter of Baiyue was resolved, it was to the north to the Central Plains, pointing at Daqin.
Of course, Meng Yi did not intend to attack Daqin, and now the Central Plains is rarely calm, and if the war is rekindled, the people will definitely be devastated.
Meng Yi is not a saint, but he does not want to be a sinner.
Daqin wants to go back no matter what, but not immediately, and now Meng Yi has become the head of Baiyue, although the military power has been returned, but his prestige in Baiyue has not yet been established.
If he is at this moment, it will inevitably lead to turmoil in the court, and Meng Yi doesn't want to give up the rare throne to others, so it will take some time to return to Daqin.
Only when Meng Yi really sits firmly in the position of the king of Baiyue and is sure that there is no worry in the rear is the day when Meng Yi really goes north to enter Qin.
The military power was recovered, but there were still many opposing voices in the DPRK and China, but because of Meng Yi's authority, they did not dare to say it clearly, and many people still whispered and whispered in private.
Words such as Meng Yi being ungrateful have never been heard.
Meng Yi didn't care about this, because he knew that there was one thing that could prove everything, and that was time.
Time is the best medicine that can heal all wounds, he can stop calming down, stop gossip, stop gossip, and all Meng Yi needs to do is prove that he is more suitable as the king of Baiyue than the old king.
Therefore, since Meng Yi ascended the throne, he has carried out drastic reforms, because Baiyue is composed of tribes, and its tribes are independent of each other, it is difficult to integrate everything, and there is hostility between the tribes.
Therefore, the first thing Meng Yi had to do was to carry out tribal integration and eliminate tribal barriers, so that the old diseases of Baiyue could also be eliminated.
These tribes have been divided from one side for many years, just like the king of the earth-shaking domain, and in the long run, it is inevitable that they will establish themselves as kings, which is absolutely unfavorable to the entire country.
A few days later, Meng Yi issued an edict called the "Edict on Tribal Marriage", allowing the various tribes of Baiyue to intermarry with each other, so as to break down the tribal barriers and completely integrate them.
Not only that, Meng Yi also agreed to intermarry between the Baiyue people and the Huaxia people, completely diluting the bloodlines of the Baiyue tribes, and when they wanted to rebel, they couldn't do it.
In addition to these, Meng Yi also issued an edict, "free intermarriage edict", the modern concept of marriage and love moved to ancient times, the ancients often said, the parents' order matchmaker words, and after the promulgation of this edict, all the people of Baiyue, can freely intermarry, the order of parents, not all, with a modern point of view to completely wash the disadvantages of feudalism.
Sure enough, after Meng Yi promulgated the edicts such as "Edict on Tribal Intermarriage" and "Edict on Free Intermarriage", Yu Baiyue caused a huge sensation, and his edict soon won the support of many young men and women.
Although there are still voices of opposition, these voices are like yellow sand on the seashore, and when the waves crash on the shore, they will soon disappear.
Of course, Meng Yi's drastic reforms, is there more than that?
The intermarriage of different races is just one of his means to stabilize the royal power, if he can't give the people real benefits and lose the support of the people, then Meng Yi will not be a success after all, and the country will not be able to maintain long-term peace and stability.
After Meng Yi came to power, the second major thing he did was to revitalize water conservancy and focus on farmland.
In the land of Baiyue, the mountains are complex, with hills and ravines, mountains and rivers, and although the water source is abundant, it is particularly difficult for the people to grow rice and other food crops.
Meng Yi saw this in mind, digging ditches and using his invention of a waterwheel to bring water from the river to the terraced rice fields on the hillside.
That's a big job.
Baiyue did not hesitate to devote all its efforts to the development of water conservancy and irrigation of farmland in Baiyue.
When the day came, the harvest of the people was abundant, and no one thanked Meng Yi, their new king.
Agriculture is the foundation of the country, and only when the people are well fed and drunk can the country be regarded as rich and abundant.
In the following years, with the improvement of water conservancy projects, the country became more and more prosperous, and due to intermarriage between tribes, tribal barriers were broken.
After several years of development, all the tribes of Baiyue have been integrated, and the country has completely become a multi-ethnic country.
In addition, Meng Yi organized the construction of roads, there is a good saying: "If you want to get rich, first build roads", blocked traffic, hindering the communication of the people, once the road is opened, it will be of great benefit to the whole country.
In these years, Meng Yi has not only done these few things, but also implemented a series of major reforms such as "spreading the land into the mu", "changing the land and returning it to the stream", and "returning envy to the public".
Under the rule of Meng Yi, the country is becoming more and more prosperous day by day, and the people are basically full of food and drink, and their lives are happy.
The road is open, the people are rich, the country is strong, Meng Yi led the subjects of Baiyue to truly achieve a well-off life, and his prestige is also rising, and he is named the "King of Heaven" by the people, which can be compared with the sky.
In just four years, the country of Baiyue has undergone earth-shaking changes, the people have lived a prosperous life, the quality of life has improved, and all the people in Baiyue are grateful to Meng Yi.
They seem to have long forgotten that Meng Yi is a Chinese, and in their minds, Meng Yi is a Baiyue person and their eternal king.
Over the years, the remnants of the previous king's henchmen have gradually disappeared, and they have seen the prosperity that the new king has brought to the country, and finally understood a truth, the new king has won the hearts of the people of the world, and it is no longer possible for them to restore the old dynasty.
Unknowingly, it is the fifth year, in these five years, Meng Yi has never married, at his age, when he is in the prime of life, many ministers and clan leaders want to marry their daughters to Meng Yi.
can be rejected by Meng Yi one by one, he will always love only one person in his heart, and that is Ying Shisu.
In this life, Meng Yi swore that he would not marry a second woman except her, so over the years, Meng Yi did not marry, which made Baiyue's subjects anxious.
Their king has always refused to marry, and thought that the woman was not beautiful enough, so he did not marry, and this was a joyful farce, that is, the common people, the ministers of the court, the tribal leaders, it can be said that the whole country is anxious for their king.
Therefore, the people of the whole country are recruiting beautiful women for Meng Yi, just to be able to choose a shocking woman who can be worthy of their king.
But they did not know that their king already belonged to him.
When Meng Yi learned about this later, he was a little crying and laughing, but he didn't know what to say, because he knew that his subjects were doing all this for themselves.
These acts were all spontaneously composed by the people, and it can be seen that what is Meng Yi in their hearts?!
……
Shangyuan Festival.
On this day of universal celebration, the people are jubilant and celebrate the festival, and on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, the streets are full of lanterns, busy from day to night.
Because the people's lives are richer, they are no longer like five years ago, they can't eat or wear warm clothes, all thanks to Meng Yi's series of reforms to benefit the people.
The capital of Baiyue has also developed into the economic, cultural and political center of Baiyue country.
On the day of the Shangyuan Festival, people from all over Baiyue poured into the capital of Baiyue, and on this day, the capital of Baiyue can really be described as "crowded".
Since Meng Yi ascended the throne, the capital of Baiyue has set off fireworks in the palace at night on major festivals such as the Yuan Day, Shangyuan Festival, and Zhongyuan Festival.
The purpose is to celebrate the whole world, and the king and the people share the prosperity.
Over time, it has become a tradition to set off fireworks on the Shangyuan Festival, and people from all over Baiyue are coming to the national capital to watch the fireworks, just like a pilgrimage for believers.
The beautiful fireworks burst into the dark night, making people feel refreshed.
And at this time of year, Meng Yi will walk out of the palace and participate in the grand event with the people, which is why Meng Yi has such a high prestige in the hearts of the people.
Their king is no longer the one who is high and unattainable, but a real ordinary man who rejoices with the people.
Meng Yi's car drove slowly from the palace, and the people on both sides of the street had already gathered and embraced, and the people spontaneously lined up in two rows, like two long dragons in the dark night.
Meng Yi got out of the car, stood on the car, and kept waving to the people, although there was an element of showmanship, but such a down-to-earth king, how could the people not like it?
The people kept chanting "Long live", from the old man to the child, all of whom waved to Meng Yi.
After the end of the Shangyuan Festival, the imperial court will also give Baiyue's Lao Su a silver subsidy, for which Meng Yi also gave it a nice name, called "pension".
This is also to avoid a lot of unfilial sons and unfilial to the elderly, so that the old people have nothing to support, for this reason, the old people of Baiyue are even more grateful to Meng Yi, and they can't kneel down to thank them for their intentions.
In short, Baiyue's life is getting better and better, and the whole country has become stable, in the past, they were still called "Southern Barbarians", but now, they have already retreated from the coat of barbarism and become a truly rich and well-cultivated person.
All thanks to Meng Yi's governance.
In five years, Meng Yi only took five years to make everyone in Baiyue surrender, and this alien king has truly become an irreplaceable god in the hearts of the people.

One morning, Meng Yi got up early, he stood on the high steps of the palace, looked into the distance, and looked at it in a daze for a long time.
"It's been five years, and I've been waiting for this day for five years." Meng Yi muttered to himself.
In order to stabilize Baiyue, Meng Yi spent five years to stabilize the country, and then he could really go north with confidence and return to Xianyang and Daqin as the "King of Baiyue".
"Da Qin, I'm back."
