Ji Yan invited Yan Shu and Li Gui back to his Son of Heaven Bedroom. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

After the three of them sat down, Ji Yan got straight to the point and said, "I came to find two Aiqing to come over to talk to you about the newly built house by Luoshui." ”

Yan Shuo nodded and said, "What is the use of my king building so many houses?" ”

"Is it much?" Ji Yan shook his head and said, "Actually, it's too little!" More than 1,000 houses, even if each household is five people, can only accommodate five or six thousand people, far from enough! According to the king's plan, Luoyang must have at least 500,000 people in the future, that is, 300,000 new people. When the population grows, more houses will have to be built according to this standard. The purpose of these houses was to provide for the new population, mainly wild people and displaced people. ”

"Savages and outcasts?" Yan Shu's eyes widened.

"Of course. Except for this kind of lonely person, who would want to leave their hometown and come to Luoyang? At least initially, it must be dominated by these people. ”

Yan shook his head and said: "Divide the living room to the savages and the homeless, and I haven't seen it for eternity!" Stealing is very inappropriate. ”

"What's wrong?"

"The people in the countryside outside the city are mostly cave dwellers, and their dwellings are all dug in the ground, and only the wooden cover is on the ground; Although the people in the city built a living room on the ground, it was only a hall with a total of three bedrooms. The houses built by our king today are all three into two open and closed with six dwellings, and they cannot be inhabited unless they are above the ordained soldiers, and this is not appropriate; Those who can get the royal family to divide the land and mansion must be more than the countrymen, how can the savages and outcasts accept it? This is not the right person two! ”

Ji Yan sneered: "Chinese? Fate? If you don't farm, you don't do military service, except for lying in the shadow of your ancestors all day long, what else can you do for my big week? Can you create a grain of grain, a copper coin? Everything has to be divided into identity levels, and this is the culprit behind the current withering of people in my Great Zhou. This king is going to break this outdated and shabby rule, and let the savages live in this three-in-two-open house! ”

Li Gui listened to the two of them talking on the side, and he didn't speak, and when he heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and arched his hand: "My king has done this disrespectful act, and I am afraid that he will be criticized by the people and hundreds of officials!" ”

Ji Yan's face sank: "The two of you were called here to discuss how to better absorb savages and homeless people to live in the newly built houses, not to discuss whether to let these people live in." If you guys have an opinion, you can go now! ”

The two old ministers couldn't help but change their faces, they didn't expect that the always gentle Son of Heaven would suddenly turn his face, didn't he just let a few savages live in the newly built house? As for such a big fuss?

Thinking that these houses didn't cost anything, and they couldn't screw up with the Son of Heaven for this little thing, Yan Shu gave up his hand and said: "Since my king has made a decision, the old minister has no objection!" ”

Li Gui said with a dark face: "My king can do whatever he wants!" ”

Seeing the unconvinced expressions of the two, Ji Yan eased his attitude a little, and said warmly: "All along, the old lady and the old general have been very supportive of this king, and this king has always been very grateful. However, your previous support has always been out of the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, or out of the duty of the courtier. Of course, in the current situation where the royal family is struggling, it is not easy to do the duty of a courtier. ”

After a pause, Ji Yan continued: "However, if you want to revitalize my Great Zhou and regain the glory of the past, this kind of courtier's duty is not enough, far from enough!" ”

"So what?" The two old ministers asked at the same time.

"This king needs your unconditional support." Ji Yan's eyes shot two sharp rays, and he said in a deep voice: "No matter what this king says or does, it may seem absurd, or even violate various ancestral etiquette systems, you must absolutely trust it and execute it as quickly as possible." ”

Li Gui bowed his hand and said, "Lao Chen, there is no problem here!" ”

Yan Shuo had a difficult face: "But ......"

Li Gui looked at him and said, "But what, as a courtier, you should naturally trust the monarch unconditionally." Just you old stubborn have a lot of things! ”

Ji Yan looked at Yan and said sincerely: "The old lady should know that after striking the bell last time, this king was fortunate to receive the guidance of the gods, and understood a lot of knowledge that people in this era did not understand, so he would naturally do something that everyone did not understand. Please rest assured, all these things that this king has done are for the sake of the country's society, although I can't see any effect for the time being, but it will definitely slowly show up in the future. This king can assure you that within ten years, I will definitely let Da Zhou regain its former glory and truly become the sect master of the world! ”

Hearing the Son of Heaven say this, Yan Shu's eyes instantly turned red, and he trembled and said, "Old minister, everything is arranged by my king!" ”

"Okay," Ji Yan said happily: "With the absolute trust of the two Aiqing, this king has no worries!" ”

Li Gui and Yan Shu nodded fiercely.

After a pause, Ji Yan said again: "Next, let's discuss how to attract these savages and homeless people to come." ”

Yan Shu thought for a while and said: "When the Qin State became strong, the first king often recited Qin Xiaogong's "Seeking Talents", praising his great talent and strategy, and turning the Qin State from a small country that was weak and bullied into a powerful and incomparable country. During the reign of the first king, it was often said that the Zhou room should also issue its own "Seeking Talents", but unfortunately it was too early to control the heavens. When he said this, he shook his head regretfully, and then said: "The old minister thinks that the "Seeking Talent Order" may be a reference! ”

"Oh? What does the "Seeking Order" say? ”

"Because the first king often chattered, the old minister can also remember some, but he can only remember the second half: the country's internal worries, not to mention foreign affairs, the three Jin Dynasty attacked my first monarch Hexi, the princes are humble and ugly. Xiangong ascended the throne, pacified the border, ruled Liyang in vain, and wanted to go east, restore the hometown of Miao Gong, and repair Miao Gong's decree. The widow misses the meaning of the ancestors, and often hurts his heart. The guests and ministers have those who can make strange plans to strengthen Qin, and I respect the officials and share the land with them. It means that as long as anyone can help the Qin state to become strong, Qin Xiaogong will share the land with them. ”

"Sharing the land with others, Qin Xiaogong really has courage!" Ji Yan sighed, then shook his head and said, "It's just that his 'Seeking Talent' is completely inapplicable to the Zhou room. One is that we have no land to share with people, and the other is that what we lack most at present is the people, without the people, even if there are really great talents to come here, I am afraid it will be difficult for a smart woman to cook without rice! ”

Yan Shu said: "Guo Kui once told Yan Wangzhi a story about the horse bones of a thousand gold cities, pointing out that Lixin can then get what he wants, so Ji Zhi built a golden platform to recruit talents from all over the world; At the beginning of the reform of the law in the Qin State, Wei Ying won the trust of the people, and finally let the new decree be implemented smoothly. Therefore, the old minister thought that if he wanted to attract people to come, whether he was a talented person or a commoner, he had to establish faith first. ”

"Fong!" Ji Yan nodded and said, "What the old lady said is good. But how do we establish faith? ”

Li Gui said angrily on the side: "Lixin is not simple, let's make a promise, no matter who it is, as long as he comes to my Luoyang, he will be given a room." Who wouldn't want to have such a spacious and sturdy home? Savages and outcasts are still flocking to it? ”

"Well, the room is divided, this is meant to be done." Ji Yan groaned: "It's just that this promise is too light, and it can't have such a shocking effect as buying horse bones and Shang Ying's standing wood bounty." The king was thinking that he would have to give more sweetness, such as giving him seeds, ploughing oxen, iron ploughs, and even preparing food rations for three or five months. The most important thing is that whoever cultivates the land will own it. In this way, I am afraid that no one will be able to resist the temptation, right? ”
