Disturbed by this long sigh, everyone at the table was immediately unhappy, but in the spirit of not wanting to cause trouble, they stopped talking and drank again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoAfter a few laps, someone finally couldn't help it, "Is what you said true?" Did the Zhou royal family really kill all those nobles? When did the Zhou royal family become so tough? ”

"Of course it's true, you go and ask, many people in Zheng Du know it. Also," the man said, lowering his voice, "I heard that many of those big families have escaped, and I've also come to Zheng Du these days, and some things are still spread by them." ”

Speaking of this, the middle-aged man who had just sighed at the table next to him sighed again, put down the wine glass in his hand, and shouted, "Shopkeeper, come and settle the bill." ”

Looking at the middle-aged man walking out of the door with shaky steps, someone at the table where he had talked about Zhenghuan before whispered, "Isn't this the one who escaped from Luoyang?" ”

"Well, sort of." The man who had been talking looked back and said. "Leave him alone. Let's keep drinking. I heard that the royal family is quite supportive of doing business in Luoyang, do we brothers sum it up and go to Luoyang to have a look? ”

Suddenly the table was lively again, and it was obvious that this topic was what everyone was most concerned about. Liu Qiu also happened to clean up the table, and at this time, another guest came in, and Liu Qiu hurriedly greeted him.

Aside from Liu Qiu's second secret letter in the evening, at this time, in the Luoyang Palace, the monarchs and ministers were talking happily.

In fact, when Liu Qiu heard about this, more than ten days had passed since the assassination occurred, after all, there was still time on the road. Obviously, it was not as rumored in the market that King Zhou ordered him to escape, but Jiang Ping, who was sent out by Zhou Bian to focus on the Luoyang nobles, discovered it in advance, and it was really a loss to these big families, in order to deal with the fully enclosed carriage, they actually practiced spear throwing, and how could this be concealed from those who had a heart. After learning the news, Zhou Bian naturally had a response, and was worried that he didn't have a chance to attack those nobles, so they sent it to the door by themselves, which was much better than the bad idea that Ning Yue thought, so Zhou Bian took the plan and sent the overhead carriage to the street, and sure enough, he hooked those ghosts and ghosts to take the initiative to appear, while he stayed in the palace to dispatch troops and generals, and took the opportunity to catch them all.

Now more than ten days have passed, the turmoil has subsided, and all the clean-up and finishing work is almost done, although the streets and alleys are still talking about the bloodshed this time, but the market has returned to normal order. However, it is clear that the follow-up discussions that have arisen from this incident are still ongoing. I heard that the Taishi still shook his head resolutely and said, "King, what you said about collecting the soldiers of the whole city, the old man still disagrees. Zhou Li has clouds, the Son of Heaven goes out, and the doctor obeys. Now that the king has collected all their weapons, how can you let them follow them in the future? In addition, the enjoyment of weapons is the right given to people by God, although the king is the son of heaven, how can he deprive the scholars of their power for his own selfish desires, I am afraid that this order will cause the nobles of the city to rebel. The king is destined by heaven, as long as he is benevolent and righteous in the world and abides by the responsibility of the Son of Heaven, how can he worry about someone rebelling? ”

It's better in later generations, all the standard weapons are owned by the state, unlike this Warring States period, where everything was bought on the market. The collection of the world's soldiers seems to have started with Qin Shi Huang, I have to say that the first emperor is still quite courageous, and opened a precedent for centralization, but there seems to be such a clause in the infamy of the first emperor. However, whether it is the development of state power or the needs of social stability, the ownership of standard weapons by the state is absolutely a necessity for historical progress, at least Zhou Bian thinks so. So in Zhou Bian's view, this step must be taken, but how to go depends on how to go.

What Zhou Bian didn't expect was that as soon as he proposed it, he was opposed by the Taishi who had always supported him.

However, Zhou Bian still replied very humbly, "What Master Taishi said is that this king has been taught. Saying that, Zhou Bian Chong Ning made a look, didn't this guy first propose to collect weapons, and as the supreme ruler, he had to charge into battle by himself wherever he could do, so it was also extremely necessary for someone who could sometimes stand up for his master and say what his master wanted to say but couldn't say.

Sure enough, Ning Yue cleared his throat, "Taishi has said it, there is no constant etiquette in the world, the Wei State uses Wu Qi to change the law strongly, and my Zhou room guards the ancient system but declines." It is inevitable for the king to repair the king's virtue, but it is also necessary to have a defensive heart, although my royal family has won Luoyang, but this city nobles are no longer loyal to the royal family when King Ping moved eastward, no one knows what most of them are thinking in their hearts, and their strength cannot be ignored, and there are weapons in hand, I am afraid that if someone really takes the lead, it will no longer be just the assassination incident a few days ago, the king has to pay attention! Now they and my royal family are not of the same mind, if there is really an expedition, I can't count on them, I still have to rely on the king's master. Therefore, Ning thought that it was imperative to collect the soldiers of the whole city. ”

"What the old man is worried about is that if he really gives the order, he is afraid that people will not rebel." Taishi still shook his head.

"We can take it one step at a time, for example, by taking advantage of this assassination incident and confiscating the spears and crossbows first, under the pretext of preventing similar things from happening again." In fact, Ning Yue also realized how ridiculous it was for him to come up with ideas to collect weapons for the king, but fortunately the king did not adopt it.

The Taishi turned his head to the young master, "You should tell me your opinion." ”

"The stakes are high, so let's listen to the king. The king has his own decision. The young master did not seem interested in the subject, and reverted to his usual cold appearance.

Taishi couldn't help but curse in his heart, and turned to Bai Gui again, "What does Doctor Bai think?" ”

"Don't blame Master Taishi, I agree with Dr. Ning's opinion, collect the heavy long-range weapons first, after all, the enemy and I are unknown today, and we don't know the details of the nobles in Luoyang. I, the White Mansion, would like to surrender first as a sign of allegiance to my king. ”

Seeing that the Taishi still refused to change his mind, Zhou Bian had no choice but to speak, "Master Taishi, just follow the opinions of Dr. Ning and Dr. Bai, this king doesn't want to worry about his mother anymore." Now is the best time, don't move now, but when? ”

As soon as he heard that the king had moved out of the queen mother, the prince was no longer entangled, and the matter was settled, and the executor naturally decided that it was Ning Yue, this kind of offending people, who would do it if he didn't do it, it seemed that he was the most suitable.

And Zhou Bian thought of the next topic, "Bai Aiqing, it's different from what we planned at the beginning, we accepted all these nearly 4,000 recruits at once, is my royal family's income enough?" ”

"Back to the king, the royal family has taken back Luoyang, and there is still a lot of grain in stock, so there is no need to worry about eating. Today, there are more than 1,000 workers working for the royal family in Chengzhou City, and the income from the shochu and refined salt industries is stable, so it is not very worrying if the soldiers are paid alone. It's just that these recruits were dragged by the king to encircle and suppress the big families who participated in the assassination, and there were many casualties, and if the royal family wants to fulfill its promise, I am afraid that it will not be enough to make up so much money for a while. Bai Gui replied with a frown, obviously he had a lot of worries about it.

"This is easy to do, this time we copied several big families such as the Huang family, and the money collected is quite a lot, no matter how you look at it, it is enough. Besides, those who are close to the head of the family can sell it, and it is a large sum of money. As soon as Bai Gui's words fell, Ning Yue jumped out. Originally, in order to change the law smoothly, it was Ning Yue's idea to take some aristocratic families, so this operation was mainly responsible for him, killing a lot of people who were close to the head of the family, and arresting a lot of children and daughters. As a result, a large number of slaves loyal to the old master fled to other countries, but Zhou Bian was not worried that they could move other countries to avenge their masters.

Ning Yue's idea was even nodded by the Grand Master, "If you can't win the trust of the people, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for my royal family to gain a foothold in Luoyang, Dr. Ning's idea, the old man is supportive, and the money spent to solve these big households is taken from themselves, and it can be regarded as what they get." Alas, the old man didn't support the killing spree, but these days when the interrogation comes out, there are so many people who want to do wrong, which really makes the old man feel amazing. However, their daughters and children, the king should not be embarrassed, and reward meritorious officials, or noble families such as the Tian family who are attached to my royal family as slaves. ”

It is rare that the Taishi who is like a good old man also thinks so, you must know that the Taishi was very opposed at the beginning, so the countermeasures to deal with the assassination this time were basically decided after consultation with the young master and Ning Yue Baigui.

Zhou Bian laughed when he heard this, "It's just Taishi, my royal family is now the time to establish a letter, whether it is a recruit or a veteran, rewards and pensions are indispensable, so it is also the time to use money, fortunately, this time it was dealt with properly, and it didn't let those big families escape, but they got a lot of money." and their land and mansions, which were also confiscated by the royal family. This land is owned by the royal family, and in addition to leaving one for Ning Yue's supervision department to work, the rest will be rewarded to all the old ministers of Cheng Zhou? The Taishi has the Deng family's mansion, and many adults such as the young master and the young master do not have their own mansions. ”

"The king is wise!" Taishi and the others immediately praised it, and the young master who wanted to push it had no choice but to agree.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has another plan, I don't know if it's possible?" It was Baekyu who gave it up.

"If you have something to say, just say, why is it so troublesome, don't you know the character of this king? Hehe" Zhou Bian scolded with a smile.

"It's about the military system. First, my royal family has recruited nearly 4,000 new soldiers, can we clear out some of the veterans of the original Zhou Gong and Gongyi who do not want to be soldiers, let them fend for themselves, or attract them into the royal industry and serve the king in another way? Their combat power is extremely limited, and they will even drag the queen back, so it is better to choose the best one to stay, and mix the new soldiers of my royal family in it, which also prevents the original generals from having too high prestige in the army. Bai Gui arched.

"Well, it works." When the young master heard this, his eyes lit up, after all, it was the young master who was in charge of the military.

And Zhou Bian naturally thought it was a good idea, which was also something he didn't expect, so he nodded and agreed, "This matter will bother the young master." When the time comes, it will be streamlined and then a register will be made for the king to see. ”

After the young master received the order, Bai Gui continued, "The second is the method of military training, after streamlining, you can also mix the original veterans to practice together, and the officers who train the soldiers are all veterans of my royal family, which can also improve their loyalty to the royal family." ”

"Well, it works." Zhou Bian nodded again, and then instructed the waiter to write it down.

"Third, Bai thought that so many soldiers were idle, so it was better to use them, for example, four thousand people were divided into four teams, one team could serve the royal industry, go to the mountain to cut trees and split wood, now the firewood in Chengzhou is a little insufficient, the second team can burn bricks for Luoyang City, and now Luoyang City is dilapidated, it is better to start repairing it one by one, and then the third team will train normally, and the fourth team will guard Luoyang City and wait for the king's dispatch." Bai Gui said unhurriedly.

This time, even the Taishi slapped his thighs, "Wonderful, wonderful, even the old man has convinced you, and he has come up with such a high trick!" ”

The young master also smiled, "The third team and the fourth pair are still under my control, and the first team and the second team will have to bother you Doctor Bai." ”

"Naturally, naturally. Hehe. Seeing that his suggestion could be quickly accepted by these two old ministers, Bai Gui also felt honored.

Seeing that everyone had no opinions, Zhou Bian settled on it, and after the monarch and ministers discussed it again, they suddenly heard a palace guard come to report, "King, there is a scholar outside the palace who is quite personable, claiming to be a sage, and asking to see the king, we can't get rid of it." ”

"Idlers? If you have nothing to do, don't you quickly beat it away. "When I was talking happily, I was disturbed, and the master was a little displeased.
