Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Warrior Finally Returns to His Heart
Ji Yan said that in the end, his face was flushed, and he couldn't help himself, so he stood up unconsciously. The resounding words of the pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info resounded in the minds of several courtiers like a dusk drum and morning bell, and the question thrown at the end made them even more ashamed.
"What will be the final outcome?" As the most important courtiers of the Zhou family, they all think about this question from time to time, and they already have the answer in their hearts, in the long run, it is only a matter of time before the country dies, but no one has ever been willing to say it, and of course they dare not say it.
The Zhou royal family has gone through too long a time, and the various ancestral systems that have precipitated are not only the behavioral norms of the Zhou people, but have long been integrated into the bones, infiltrated into the blood, and become a kind of belief, which affects the words and deeds of the Zhou people all the time.
Now, the Son of Heaven shouted loudly without scruples, which seemed to give them infinite strength, so that they shook off the shadow at once, broke through the mountain, and the stagnant heart came alive in an instant.
Several people silently came to the center of the main hall, knelt down together, and Yan led the leader and said: "From now on, follow my king, add swords and axes, and die without spinning!" ”
"The knife and axe are added, and death is not spinning!" Everyone shouted in unison.
"Good!" Ji Yan said excitedly: "Everyone, please get up." With your support, you can be alone! ”
After everyone was seated, Ji Yan continued: "The first thing the prefectural government does is to abolish the hierarchy. In the future, there will only be countrymen and officials in our Zhou Kingdom, and there will be no nobles and commoners. ”
"Ahh Everyone didn't expect that the first reform proposed by the Son of Heaven was so amazing, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, which made their brains buzz, and they couldn't help but exclaim in unison.
Li Gui was the first to react, looked around, and said loudly, "Surprised? Just now I said that the knife and axe are added to the body and the body does not spin the heel, so you can't stand such a little thing? ”
Everyone slowly recovered, but they all gasped.
Ji Yan was unmoved by everyone's expression, his face was calm, his eyes were firm, and he continued: "In the future, everyone will either farm, or do business, or be an official, or join the army, in short, everyone will have to support themselves. In order to develop the army and agriculture, the title can only be earned through military merit and farming, and the specific method will be discussed with your subordinate officers. ”
"No!" Ding Tong agreed.
"The second thing is to find a way to attract people to Luoyang." Ji Yan said again: "This matter was done by the prime minister before, and it will be handed over to the local government in the future." After going down, the prime minister and the prince will do a good job of handover. ”
"No!" Yan Rate and Ding Tong should be down at the same time.
"The third thing is to find a way to develop the economy. Now that the internal affairs supervisor has produced a lot of outsiders, we are going to sell them to the major vassal states, and the Taifu can discuss this matter with Ji Fang, and you should be able to cooperate with each other; On the other hand, our handicraft industry needs to increase the development, casting, pottery, bone, tanning, jade, wood, bamboo, lacquerware, silk weaving, etc. ”
After a pause, Ji Yan continued: "Also, the coins we are currently using are cloth coins, which are too large and have sharp corners, which are very inconvenient to carry, so this has to be changed." In the future, the coins we mint can not be too big, the weight will be five baht as the standard, the outer circle and the inner square, which can be easily strung together with a rope, this kind of money is called five baht money! The design and manufacturing are in charge of the Winter Official's Office, and if you have any questions, you can always find this king; The issuance and management are the responsibility of the local government. ”
"No!" Ding Tong and Xia Xun should go down.
After the things were arranged one by one, everyone left in a hurry, and the things explained by the Son of Heaven were not easy to do, and they had to hurry up.
Ji Yan planned to go to the Diguan Mansion with Ding Tong to have a look, and just walked out of the gate of the Qiuguan Mansion, Ji Dong hurriedly came and said: "Qi my king, Meng Ben asked to see, and he has been waiting outside the Son of Heaven's palace for a long time. ”
"Oh?" Ji Yan was pleasantly surprised, but he was a little apprehensive, he hoped that this reckless man was asking to see him this time to serve him, but he was afraid that he would come to resign. "What does he ask to see this king?"
"He didn't say." Ji Dong shook his head and said.
"That's it!" Ji Yan took a deep breath, turned his head to Ding Tong and said, "Taifu go back first, this king is in a bit of a hurry, and I will go to your local government mansion when I am free." ”
"No! Then the old minister retired first. Ding Tong arched his hand and left.
Ji Yan immediately got into the king's car and rushed back, and came to the outside of the Son of Heaven's bedroom, and saw Meng Ben, who looked like an iron tower, standing straight in front of the palace from a distance.
"The little people see the king!" When Meng Ben saw Wang Che coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects, but what Ji Yan didn't expect was that this always unruly man actually bowed down.
"Fierce men flat." Ji Yan quickly got out of the car and helped him up: "Come on, come on, follow this king in and talk." ”
After entering the dormitory, Ji Yan gave Meng Ben a seat, and then said in a loud voice: "Come, take guests from outside the world, this king will entertain the distinguished guests well." ”
Meng Ben arched his hand and said: "King Qiqi, Xiaomin is here to ......"
"Huh!" Ji Yan quickly interrupted him: "No matter what you want to do, drink the wine first." Can a strong man know a stranger? ”
"Outsiders?" Meng Ben was immediately attracted by this name: "What is this, Xiaomin has never heard of it!" ”
"You'll find out right away!" Ji Yan said with a mysterious smile.
Ji Dong had already brought two chamberlains over with a guest from outside the world, and soon filled it for the two.
"This thing is an outsider?" Meng Ben took a deep sip of the aroma of wine, pointed to the wine in front of him and asked.
"Exactly!" Ji Yan said and raised the wine honor: "Come on, come on, fierce man, please taste my Da Zhou's unique sorghum wine and see how it tastes." ”
Meng Ben also raised his wine: "King Xie!" As he spoke, he swallowed with a grunt, and then the whole person froze, and a red color instantly climbed up his cheeks.
"How? Is it possible to drink it? Ji Yan asked with a smile.
Meng Ben came back to his senses at this time, smashed his mouth, shook his head and said: "If it wasn't for tasting it in person, Xiaomin would never have imagined that the wine could actually taste like this, strong enough, happy!" ”
"It's good for you. Again! Ji Yan said and raised the wine that had been poured again.
Meng Ben killed it again, put down the wine venerable, wiped the wine stains on the corner of his mouth, stood up and walked quickly to the hall, knelt down and said, "Ben will be the king's in the future!" ”
Ji Yan was stunned, he had imagined countless situations and came up with various coping strategies, but he couldn't have imagined that happiness would come so quickly, and it took a while to react, and he hurriedly left his seat and came to the hall, holding Meng Ben's arm with both hands: "I can get the help of a strong man, and I am as lonely as a tiger with wings!" Hurry up, please! ”
The two of them sat back and drank a glass again, and Ji Yan asked, "Why is the strong man suddenly willing to serve the Zhou Room?" ”
Meng Ben arched his hand and said angrily: "The king treats him with such fine wine, Ben has nothing to reciprocate, so he can only sacrifice this cheap life to repay the king's kindness." ”
"Just because of this wine and not for something else?" Ji Yan asked suspiciously.
"The king once saved the lives of the little people, and took the wives and children of the little people to Luoyang and saved their lives, and Ben was extremely grateful for this. But the king did these things with a clear purpose, Ben thought that it was not worth retributing with death, and when the future battlefield was encountered, Ben would spare the king's life, not to mention, that day in the imperial prison, Ben had already saved the king once and made a return. Therefore, I came here today to bid farewell to the king. ”
