Zu Chong paced back and forth in the main hall of the Great Moon Palace, since entering the Great Moon, he and the crown prince had met several times, but today was the first time he met alone, and his mood was naturally a little nervous.

Sima Dan appeared wearing a divine armor, Zu Chong's eyes lit up, he felt extraordinarily cordial, and hurriedly knelt down to see him.

Sima Dan asked Zu Chong to calm down: "I invited the general to ask a question. ”

Zu Chong hurriedly said that he didn't dare: "The causes and consequences of this trip to Dayue City have been reported according to the truth, I don't know what else the prince has to ask?" ”

"Haha, that's not all, what I want to ask the general about the situation in the Western Regions."

"The last general doesn't know much about the Western Regions, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten lost......"

"It's just that you don't know much about it, so you won't be influenced by some traditional ideas."

Zu Chong didn't know what the prince was referring to, so he didn't dare to answer for a while.

"Since the Xiongnu defeated the Yue clan at the end of Qin, it has become a great disaster for the people of the Central Plains, whether it is Han or Jin, and the Xiongnu have been at war endlessly, does General Zu know about these?"

"In fact, since the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu are no longer those tribes who only know how to live by water and grass at the end of the Qin Dynasty, they also build cities and live, and learn from us to live an agricultural life, especially after the end of the Qin Dynasty, every time there are troubled times, there are Han people who flee north and teach them a qiē Han technology, so this is even more terrifying, because they already think that the Central Plains is a suitable place for them to live."

"General Zu only knows one, but I don't know the other, the so-called Xiongnu, in fact, is the aborigines of the northern steppe, and later part of them returned to the Han and moved to live in Guannei, but the north is so big, how much more than one family? Attached to a clan, and more tribes were born outside the pass, we saw, only know that the Xiongnu invaded me, but I don't know that they were also attacked by other tribes, so there are Xiongnu first, and then there are Xianbei, Rouran, these tribes grow after the leader calls himself Shan Yu, because they all want to take the name of the Xiongnu, unite all the tribes concerned, but in fact, their language is different, relative to the Xiongnu who have been sinicized, they are the out-and-out barbarian Rong Di, now Rouran, the unified grassland is only about ten years, but its north, it is said that there is another one called "Ghost Fang" The tribe is more ferocious, just like Rouran was to Xianbei back then, I heard that the Xianbei people said that Rouran was a brute beast after seeing the Rouran woman licking the rice bowl with her tongue, you say it's not ridiculous? ”

Zu Chong laughed a few times: "Prince, what does this have to do with us?" ”

"General Zu is really impatient, okay! Let me ask you, if we are not the people of the Jin Kingdom, establish a kingdom here, and learn the customs of the Jin Dynasty, and after a few generations, we will be given the title of Jin, just like the countries of the Western Regions were given the title by the Han Dynasty in the past, and then, one day the Central Plains was in turmoil, we entered the Central Plains to fight for hegemony, and we hired the Central Plains sages to govern here, and one day, it is unknown to obtain the unification. ”

"What the prince said is reasonable, but it sounds like a ...... to me."

"It seems to be talking about the Qin State, isn't it?"

"Ahh Prince...... This ......"

"From the perspective of the Xiongnu people, if they adopt the Jin customs, they will also have the right to enter the Central Plains one day."

"But they are plundering everywhere, how can they win hearts and minds?"

"Yes! That's what happened, but that's not what I'm going to sue General Sùzu. ”

"The last general is always at his disposal!"

"It's not a task, it can be a big task, listen, we want to create a prosperous era of mutual harmony between nations, equality and freedom between the people, even if it is a monarch, it is only through the approval of the people that they can ascend the throne, once the people are dissatisfied, they must abdicate and make way for the virtuous, such a prosperous era is the rule of three generations that Confucius said, and it is the rule of the Great Qin in the West now."

“…… Too...... Too...... Child...... Western? ”

"Yes, the Great Qin of the West, they call themselves Rome, there is no title of "emperor", the emperor is just the "first citizen", the power is granted by the people's assembly, so since the establishment of the country thousands of years ago, the Quartet to vote, although there are occasional twists and turns, but now the territory is large, especially more than the prosperity of the Qin and Han dynasties, the people live a rich life, the throne is not passed to the son, but in the country to choose the capable person to set up as the "co-governance emperor", in fact, it is the prince, and then pass the throne to him, this is the Datong world when Yao and Shun Chan let go, but their inheritance is endless for thousands of years, Until now. ”

"Too ...... Prince! If there is such a rule in the world, I am willing to serve the prince as a dog and horse. "Zu Chong has never heard of this kind of thing, and he doesn't know why for a while.

"Haha, I don't want this kind of loyalty of yours, I want you to have a common ideal, let's achieve it together, now I make you a member of the Senate, are you ready? The Patriarch. “

In the end, can Xiao Min's idea of only choosing the essence of Roman politics and imitating it really create a prosperous era?

******

The population of Otsuki Castle was about 100,000, and after deducting the fleeing peasants who had moved in, it was about 100,000, but during the siege of Helian there were heavy casualties, and five or six of the ten people died.

In the past ten days after Helian retreated, many people came back from other places, and some refugees also moved from the small country threatened by Rouran in the north of the Tianshan Mountains, plus the Jin people who were freed from the Xiongnu, and the population of the city was also 100,000 at this time.

The matriarchal tradition of the Tsuki's aristocracy is practiced in Otsuki Castle, and all adult men and women between the ages of twenty and forty gather in the open space before the palace on this day. They stood in their own clans and were waiting for the arrival of the lord of the city and the prince of Wangfu Jin.

Dayue City was called Yiwu in the Han Dynasty, it was the throat of the Western Regions, and in the Han Dynasty, there was a protector of the Western Regions, and the residents and farmers of the current Dayue City and its surrounding dock villages submitted to Dayue City are from different races.

The family of the Great Moon King and many nobles are from the Guyue clan, this line did not follow the clan to the west after the defeat of the Xiongnu, and one of the branches took root here, because they were good at making iron tools, and their combat effectiveness was quite strong, so they gradually established their own power during the chaos of the Jin Kingdom.

Most of the peasants on the four sides outside Dayue City are of Han nationality, they are the descendants of the soldiers who were sent to the Western Regions in the past dynasties, but they have merged with many foreign tribes, and sometimes they do not consider themselves Han Chinese, but they all know Chinese and make a living from agriculture. The Han people were people outside the city in the eyes of the Dayue people, so their influence in the city was also very low, but they had a large population, accounting for more than forty percent of the population.

Most of the Xiongnu Dayue City residents are soldiers, and most of them are helpless exiles in this area and are accepted as mercenaries, but because they have been here for a long time, they also feel that they are already people of Dayue City, and the rule on the grassland is that regardless of race, the loser is a slave, and they are also afraid of losing to the Xiongnu and being forced to live a worse life than before.

The other great people were from Persia, who were driven to the Western Regions by the Sassanids, and often referred to themselves as the ancient Parthian royal family, and they were excellent merchants, who were at ease in the Silk Road trade, and were also a force to be taken lightly in the city.

At this moment, the entire martial arts arena was stuffed again.

Just after the war, everyone still retained some wartime rules, so everyone stood solemnly, and no one dared to make noise at will.

The heads of the clans were placed at the forefront, and those of high rank were given seats so that they could hear what was being said on the stage.

Sima Dan wore a big purple robe prepared by Xiao Min himself, and stood on the stage with a lofty spirit, while Jia Bao only wore a white robe, deliberately highlighting Sima Dan's status.

When Sima Dan saw that everyone had gathered, he held a ceremony by the honor guard, and Sima Dan wore the crown on Jiabao's head as the crown prince of Jin. After finishing, Sima Dan spoke to everyone: "A city is easy to be breached because there are not enough soldiers and the enemy is strong, but if the people of the entire city become soldiers, I am afraid that no one in the world can break through this city."

Just like us, if all of you were soldiers, even if there were ten more Helians, but we had tens of thousands of soldiers, and if we were all united, the Great Moon City would never be broken.

But why didn't Otsuki Castle do it before? Don't recruit all the city's citizens as soldiers? Because soldiers are paid, why should soldiers be paid and not allowed to farm themselves? A soldier who farms by himself is never a good soldier, and he will definitely run away when he meets the Huns, but why is that?

Because they are not protecting their own wives and children, but another family, they are protecting the king, and if the king does not pay them, they will surely run away.

So any king's castle can be breached, because there are either too few soldiers or they don't want to fight.

Why do soldiers fight?

I think that there is only one kind of city in the world that can never be broken, that is, this is a castle that belongs to everyone, everyone fights for their wives and children, everyone is also a soldier, this kind of castle, no one can break this kind of castle.

Is there such a castle in the world?

Yes! And it has no walls, but no one dares to attack it.

Because every citizen of the city was a master, a king, and all of them would take up arms and fight for the city, no one dared to attack the city, Rome. About 300 years ago, Julius Caesar, the head of Rome, demolished the walls of Rome, and until now there are no soldiers from other countries in sight.

Therefore, we refer to their method, and the king and you, that is, all the people of the city, have agreed that from this day onwards this city will be everyone's.

From now on, plebeian assemblies like today's can elect their own elders, and the elders can elect the king.

Each clan with more than 1,000 people can nominate a senator to enter the Senate, and the Senate temporarily has a hundred seats, all of which are nominated by you, mainly divided into nobles and commoners.

The nobility, i.e., the relatives and clans of Queen Jiabao, had thirty seats, and the rest of the elders could enter the Senate as long as they were elected by a thousand people, representing their own families and participating in the administration.

Once every two years, the Senate will elect two consuls to be responsible for all state affairs, and the queen will not participate in state affairs, repeat: the queen will not participate in state affairs, and state affairs are in charge of two consuls, one internal and one external, in case of major events, the two disagree, the queen will make the final arbitration, called the supreme arbitration, if the two agree on the same opinion, the decision of the consul shall prevail.

Every able-bodied adult man and woman in the city who had the right to elect a senator was required to become a soldier, to participate in training in peacetime and in wartime, and to pay taxes at a rate of one-tenth of the income.

The administration of the state is carried out by those appointed by the consuls, and is also held every two years, except for the tax officer, who is in office unless the consul finds dereliction of duty, and the tax officer is also responsible for the execution of the law, the details of which we will make public.

There are some clans with less than 1,000 people who can be freely combined, but they must be united by in-laws, we encourage more intermarriage between different races, for example, this time there are about 10,000 Jin people in the city, they are not a family, I would love to have more contact with the women who died in this war, of course it is better to have women who have just reached adulthood!"

"Haha......" Everyone couldn't help laughing, no matter which nationality, as long as they mentioned the matter of men and women, they would smile.

"My purpose is for us to become one big family, and I don't want to need me to defend this place forever. The bigger goal is that in the future, we will be with Qiuzi, Yanshan, and Che Shuai...... More and more surrounding cities are united, and the various ethnic groups are integrated, so that there is no longer any need to be afraid of the Xiongnu, or even the Great Jin. We have fertile land here, and we can't finish cultivating it ourselves, and we hope that more people will come with us, so Otsuki City must be expanded, and in the future, the Senate should have hundreds, or even thousands, and then we will be a real big city. ”

"Under the whole world, it is not the king's land. As the prince of the Great Jin, I think about the well-being of the whole world, if one day the Great Jin also has such a court system as us, we can also merge with the Great Jin, you must not worry, as long as you do not invade the Great Jin, I guarantee that the two countries will be reconciled for generations! ”
