Prince Shu was buried in the tomb of the former king, and when he returned to Yingdu, it was still the news of the murder: Shen Yong and others, who were arrested earlier, were abandoned in the city after their heads, and the women and children were reduced to official slaves. Jing Hua, Wu Shen, Fan Zeng, and Lifeng are still at large, but as long as these people are in the territory of Chu State, they will always be caught one day.

In the past, the murder of Chu was always decided after several years, but this time Xiong Jing didn't want these prisoners to wait for the amnesty more than 20 days later, so he killed the matter first, and his crime was not to kill the king, but to conspiracy to destabilize the country. The only one who saved his reputation was the one who said that he volunteered to be buried to serve the king, but everyone couldn't stop him, and he suddenly crashed into the wall and committed suicide.

The aristocracy and the common people are completely two worlds, and when the streets are talking about the viciousness of the princes Chunxiao and Jinghua Shenyong, the dull brains of the nobles finally begin to think about a question: 'Except for parents and wives, everything changes', what does this mean?

Reform? That's a must! Chu State is a state of faith, righteousness, etiquette and music, how can the law of Rong Di be implemented. More than 140 years ago, Wu Qi had bewitched the king of Chu to change the law, but fortunately, the king of Chu mourned and Wu Qi was killed, so the change was terminated, but the nobles also paid a heavy price, and seventy-four nobles were exterminated.

At present, there is more and more evidence that the state of Chu is about to change the law, and for a while, the undercurrent of Yingdu is surging. In December, the north wind became stronger and the weather became colder, and they usually only nested in the underground palace (the king of Chu had an underground hall, and the nobles and officials followed suit) to bake the fire and listen to music, and began to visit in series. They hoped to get the news as soon as possible, so that they could persuade them to the death - compared with more than one hundred and forty years ago, the nobles had less private property and relied more on the Gulu system, and if they really wanted to change the law and reduce the nobles Gulu, there were some things that needed to be done less.

"Zi Yu thinks that the king doesn't want to change the law?" In Taibu Mansion, Ji Lingjun roasted the fire for a while and still felt cold hands and feet. This could be because of the weather, or it could be because of the circumstances.

"It's not about changing the Qin law." From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, watching Xiong Jing change from an unknown prince to a king who executed his cousin without hesitation. Prestige is always built in the killing, especially before the killing, there is a kind of bravery that ordinary people do not have.

"If you don't change the Qin law, what law will you change?" No matter what the law is, Ji Lingjun just doesn't like it. "Could it be that you really want to exterminate my Chu State?"

"Definitely." Compared with Ji Lingjun, who only received 20,000 stone Gulu (about 100 gold) per year, Guan Ji was much closer to power, and at least his brother Guan Ji was Taibu of Chu State, an important minister of the imperial court. During this time, the elder brother had frequent discussions, and although he didn't say anything, he could still read a lot of things from his look.

"Those who want to destroy the Chu State, the Qin State is also. Why don't you forget the king's words? Therefore, the king said: The country will not be long in coming! "Guanyu is quite reproachful.

"The Qin army was defeated, and now you want to make peace with my Chu State? This ...... "Ji Lingjun is a nobleman but illiterate, and many things are heard.

"Ridiculous!" Guan Yu smiled, "The Qin State and I fought to destroy Zhao, and to destroy Zhao naturally wanted to destroy Han and Wei." Wei is the barrier of our Chu State, if Wei State falls, the door of our Chu State will be opened, and Qin State will destroy Chu. The king once said that it has only been more than ten years. ”

"More than ten years?" Ji Lingjun was stunned and his expression was strange, full of questions. "I believe it. The defeat of the Qin people by the Xinling monarch and the countries was only more than ten years ago, and the Chu state was going to die more than ten years later? Outrageous! ”

"Da Sima Yan: Zhao State is already at the end of the strong crossbow, if the Qin State frequently attacks it, it will die in ten years." Guan Yu said, "After the death of the Zhao State, how many years can the current Wei State last?" My Chu State can only narrowly defeat the Qin army of 240,000 if the whole country attacks me, how can I survive? ”

Ji Lingjun who said Guanyu was speechless, and he had heard people talk about the Chu army's narrow victory.

"You'd better go back." Guan Yu said again, "The king's strategy is to discuss with the minister, not just listen to what Dr. Zhao said. I have another thing to tell you, the king wants to use Nao cunning as a command."

"Cunning?" Nowadays, it is rumored that the king wants to take Taifu Zhao Ren's crown as Ling Yin, although Ji Lingjun is surprised and cunning for Ling Yin, but he is more at ease. Nao is also a nobleman, so he will not change his own law for Ling Yin.

In the cold wind, Ji Lingjun hurriedly left with the peace of mind of Nao Cunning, and in the middle of his sleep, Nao Cun, the soon-to-be-appointed Ling Yin, was changing his own law.

"The king, the treasury bonds are high, and the ministers think that the treasury bonds do not need to be in the hands of others, and we and other clans can buy them." Nao said slyly.

The issue that is being discussed now is the national debt. In Xiong Jing's view, fighting a war is about people (organizations), money (weapons and materials), and officers (strategy and tactics). In other words, it is to use a group of organized people to use the most convenient and effective method to put the killing in a certain area. People, or organization is the first, Qi Jiguang Qi Marshal built the army The first consideration is to select soldiers, and relying on the support of Zhang Juzheng, the Beijing division, he can get a steady stream of money, and finally his military genius is played.

Just as organizations can be nurtured, money can also be obtained, and national debt is one of them. Of course, these clans can buy treasury bonds, but they must not fail to issue them to the outside world. Looking at him, Zhao Huang and the others, Xiong Jing smiled and asked, "Li Gao?" ”

"It's really high. The profit is five percent a year, and in six or seven years, the child's money is more than the mother's money. "Si Hui Shi Yan has no other expression except for a straight face." The debts of the country are different from the debts of the people, and the number is huge, and if they cannot be repaid on the due date, the faith of the state of Chu will be lost. Since the king wants to reconcile with the Qin army, although he wants amnesty, the mansion can also support it. ”

"No matter how much money you have, it is still in my Chu country, and the issuance of treasury bonds is to lend the gold of other countries to my Chu country. There is a saying that is called preparing for a rainy day, digging wells without thirst, and now due to the attack of the Qin State, most of the merchants in the Kanto region have closed down and turned to make a living by putting money from their children and mothers, but there is no one to borrow more gold. If our Chu State does not take this opportunity to issue treasury bonds, when will it be? Not to mention that it costs money to build ships, open coal mines, smelt iron, dry salt, and burn cement......"

Xiong Jing spit out a series of projects that cost money, these big projects that require huge amounts of money to be played, and it is difficult to expand in a short period of time only with the annual financial income of 70,000 or 80,000 gold from the Chu State itself.

"Also, when will the gold, silver, and copper coins be ready?" There are four problems with money: bonds, coins, banks, and double-entry bookkeeping, which is the most primitive method of flow bookkeeping used by the state of Chu, which cannot manage the complex financial organization of banks. The secretary is also a hereditary position, but except for him, I am afraid that no one in the entire Chu State will be able to sort out the national finances.

"The matter of coins is a matter of words, or next year will be good." Bernan replied, not too happy.

In fact, coinage is to make money to buy *** such as 18K gold, only 75% pure gold, although the minting is laborious, you can subtract the cost of at least 20% of the profit. This is true for gold and silver coins, with some exceptions for copper coins, where new copper coins must be replaced on a one-to-one basis by cutting corners: antnose coins are more than four grams, while new copper coins are around three grams.

"When is next year?" Xiong Jing is like the emperors of all dynasties in the future, and he has to mint money as soon as he ascends the throne.

"Or the summer solstice." Bernan said an approximate time. He went to build a mansion to see the coin-casting machine, which was not casting at all, but punching, and the disc like a trebuchet was spinning, and then thousands of catties or tens of thousands of catties of heavy objects rushed down with a huge iron treasure knife, cutting the gold ingots, silver ingots, and copper ingots from pieces of small round cakes, and these round cakes had to be put into the model to stamp, polish, and finally coins.

Gong Yin Dao said that this was the king's idea, and said that in the future, he might use this to punch the red giant iron, and punch the huge iron into pieces to make knives and swords. Thinking of this, Bai Nan couldn't help but be a little in awe of Xiong Jing, tens of thousands of catties of things are as light as weight, this is already the power of ghosts and gods.

"Stand down." Xiong Jing didn't understand Bai Nan's thoughts, the national debt was only one of many matters today, since everything was on track, then Bai Nan could step back first.

"King, recently, the nobles of Yingdu have been worried, and they are afraid that my Chu State will change the law." Qu Sui is a doctor in Sanlu, which is equivalent to an elder of the Gong family, and there are many doormen who have found him to inquire about the news in the past few days.

"The king, the minister thinks that the new policy will eventually be made public, so it is better to give the king's order as soon as possible to reassure the people." The season is also said.

"How do you make it public?" Xiong Jing asked with a smile. Although the interests of the county Yin and the nobles will not be damaged within fifteen years, if these people do not believe that the Qin State will attack Chu in ten years, it will be chaotic.

"Or maybe you can open a foreign court to make a left and right strategy?" Zhao Huang was also thinking about this. The new policy was formulated based on the fact that the Qin State would be defeated in Chu ten years later, and no one would let go of the benefits in their hands if they did not believe this.

"Then it will also be after the Rak Sacrifice." The weather is getting colder and colder, and the howl of the cold wind can be heard even in the middle of sleep.

The wax festival is not set on the eighth day of December as in later generations, but there are Sikong, Taibu, and historians to determine the date together, and this year's wax festival is set on the twenty-first day of October. This should be regarded as the Spring Festival of the pre-Qin Dynasty, with a large number of sacrifices, many sacrifices, and the joy of the people, which is really rare. And the ceremony is personally supported by the monarch, dancing, praying, singing, and not sloppy at all.

The major affairs of the country are in worship and Rong. If Xiong Jing wants no one to criticize him for ruling personally, he must complete the entire sacrifice without making mistakes like an adult. In this way, although he was not crowned, he had actually fulfilled the obligation of an adult: worship and Rong. But this is a headache, a headache, a headache, every time I think of this in the past few days, Xiong Jing's expression will be in a trance-

"King, please watch the slave, please watch the slave...... "The warm spring underground palace is as bright as day, the voice of the spirit girl is delicate, and the words seem to be smiling but not smiling, which is very moving; And the witch suit is just two pieces of hollowed-out silk cloth, and there is a complete vacuum inside. When flying, the spirit girl's slender waist and snow-white jade legs are exposed and hidden, and the movements are slightly larger, and you can even see between the legs. Of course, an experienced spirit girl never shows her point.

The fragrant wind blows on the face, the jade skin is eye-catching, and the coquettish language is intoxicating, this kind of fragrant temptation, coupled with the call of 'slave, slave' from time to time, the little boy can't stand it! However, in order to pray for the gods of all things to come down and receive sacrifices, the wax sacrifice requires the king and the spirit maiden to dance together, and it is repeated six times. Six times? Xiong Jing felt that he would have to die of nosebleeds when he jumped with the spirit girl, how could he survive six times.

"Great King, Great King......" Xiong Jing suddenly had stupid eyes and a different face, which immediately frightened the ministers.
