Chapter 257: The ministers persuaded to enter the country
November 25, Wushan City, Lord's Palace.
Zhuge Liang, Wang Anshi and other wise men gathered.
When Lin Yuan walked into the council hall, he asked directly: "Ladies and gentlemen, we are about to establish a kingdom, but the name of this kingdom has not yet been taken?" You guys give me ideas! ”
Su Zhe was the first to speak, "Lord, it's better to take 'Song' as the country name." Everyone in the world knows that the lord is a relative of the Song family, and if he calls himself the 'King of Song', he will definitely be able to win the hearts of the people in the world. ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Juzheng immediately stood up and retorted, "This is a bad statement. The people of the world recognize Zhao Gou as the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, if the lord then considers himself the King of Song, wouldn't he say that he is a chaotic minister and thief? ”
Su Zhe's face changed slightly, "I was negligent, please forgive the lord!" ”
Lin Yuan waved his hand, "It's okay, I called everyone today to let everyone speak freely." ”
Song Jiang was cautious and said: "The lord started with Sui and Ying, before the Warring States Period, this was the foundation of the capital of Chu, why don't you take 'Chu' as the country name?" ”
Fan Zhongyan objected on the spot, "Since ancient times, the regime with Chu as the name of the country has never lasted long, and in the places adjacent to us, there are two Chu countries, Zhang Chu of Zhang Bangchang and Zhong Chu of Zhong Xiang, and then with 'Chu' as the country name, wouldn't it make the people of the world laugh off their big teeth." ”
Lin Yuan also nodded, "Heaven doesn't favor the word 'Chu', so it's better to take another country name!" ”
Everyone continued to say a word from you and a word from me, but there was no good name.
Actually, they can't be blamed for this, after all, there are only a few country names in history.
The names of Qin, Han, Wei, Wu, Sui, Tang, and Ming have been used up by Emperor Shi, Zhu Yuanzhang and others.
At this time, Wang Anshi and Zhuge Liang on the side stood up at the same time.
The two were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other and smiled.
Zhuge Liang smiled: "Jiefu, why don't you and I write the names of the countries that we each think of on the palms of our hands, and then present them to the lord at the same time, see if it's the same?" ”
Wang Anshi's eyes lit up and he smiled: "Good idea!" ”
So, the two of them picked up the pen and wrote a word in the palm of their hands, came to Lin Yuan, and unfolded it at the same time.
Everyone gathered around.
Lin Yuan looked up and saw the palm of the two of them, each with the word 'Shang' written on it.
"This ......" The rest of the ministers were all alarmed.
Liu Bei said: "The Shang Dynasty, angering the gods of heaven and earth, died in the absence of Taoism, how can it be used as the name of the country of the Enlightenment? ”
When Zhuge Liang and Wang Anshi heard this, they smiled and didn't explain.
Lin Yuan glanced at Zhuge Liang and smiled lightly.
"This guy, do you still see it?"
In this era of Shinto revival, the general country name really can't shake the Mao God in the mountains.
It is necessary to choose a dynasty to which the gods are attached.
And the dynasties that have the gods to belong to are only 'Xia' and 'Shang'.
The Xia Dynasty is too long ago, and no one knows what happened.
However, the Shang Dynasty was the dynasty with the most fierce confrontation between man and god, and it was the last 'human emperor' dynasty.
Since the Shang Dynasty, the 'Son of Heaven' of the Zhou Dynasty has been reduced to a puppet of the gods.
The Qin Dynasty ruled the world, wanted to change the situation of people and gods, abolished the "Son of Heaven" and called the "Emperor", although it regained a little disadvantage for the human race, but it was also punished by the gods, and the Qin Dynasty only existed for more than ten years, and was overthrown by Liu Bang, the "son of the Red Emperor".
Since then, all emperors have been reduced to 'Sons of Heaven'.
Lin Yuan already understood the intentions of Zhuge Liang and the others, nodded and agreed with this country name very much.
Establish a kingdom and take the name of the country 'Shang'.
To establish a kingdom, you also need a ceremony to claim the king.
The ceremony is scheduled for December 5.
When the news broke, the whole world was in a stir.
The Liu family in Xuchang also knew, and they just sneered.
"Lin Yuan is not good at taking anything, he prefers to take the 'Shang' country, he is really ignorant!"
"From now on, we'll have a good show!"
……
After the country name was established, Lin Yuan sent out an invitation letter to invite some important people to watch the ceremony.
All these people in the chat group have sent invitations.
Lin Yuan also came to Xiangyang City early to prepare for something important.
Xiangyang City, almost peacefully taken over.
The city's 30,000 regular garrisons, after being captured, were all held in barracks.
After Lin Yuan arrived in Xiangyang City, he directly released all these soldiers.
These soldiers are all Yue family soldiers trained by Yue Fei.
This is a brave team, and Lin Yuan doesn't intend to eat them.
After the 30,000-strong Yuejia army was released, it was all transferred to Gangneung City.
The large troops of the Yue family army are all in Jiangling City.
After releasing the captives, Lin Yuan also ordered the release of the Yue family members who were in custody.
Among them are Yue Fei's daughter Yue Yinhua and son Yue Lei.
As for the people in Xiangyang City, Lin Yuan will not touch them at all, how should everyone live, and how will they live in the future.
Only those merchant groups who withdrew from Lin Yuan's territory, Lin Yuan disposed of them unceremoniously, and ordered all their shops to be raided.
confiscate all their property.
In the course of this raid, 100 shops of the Liu family business group were raided again.
In the end, no less than 1 million taels of gold and 10 million taels of silver were seized, and countless goods and commodities were seized.
Some small business groups began to beg for mercy and begged Lin Yuan to open up.
But Lin Yuan rejected them all.
The 12,000 shops in Xiangyang City were raided by Lin Yuan this time, and the number of shops was reduced by 4,000 at once.
When the news broke, the entire business community was shocked.
Especially the Liu family, their commercial roots in Xiangyang City were uprooted.
In the huge Jingxiang, the Liu business group has been cut off.
Those who followed the Liu business group, such as the Guo business group, the Zhao business group, and the Sun business group, also suffered losses one after another.
Some big business groups in the business world don't think this is their loss, but also think that this is Lin Yuan's loss, and want to compete with Lin Yuan in terms of economy and trade.
Let Lin Yuan see who has the final say in the business world.
It's just that when Lin Yuan invited the official business group established by Ying Zheng, Liu Che, Li Laoer, Zhu Yuanzhang and others to settle in Xiangyang City, everyone reacted that this was a conspiracy at all.
At the same time, the news about Lin Yuan's business alliance with the First Emperor, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Taizu of the Ming Dynasty brewed and fermented on the Internet and broke out completely.
Moreover, the major monarchs of this business alliance also ordered the expulsion of the Liu family's business group, the Guo family business group and other big consortia listed by Lin Yuan, and imposed a complete ban on their sales.
From Xiangyang, Jingzhao, Luoyang, Yan'an, Taiyuan, Yanjing, Qingzhou, Jiangzhou, almost half of China, these consortia are closed to sales, roads are blocked.
The entire business world fell silent.
The big consortia that followed the Liu family's business group suddenly complained bitterly.
Most of their industrial shops were confiscated, and the loss exceeded 5 million taels of gold.
In particular, without the loss of roads, it will be difficult for them to continue to operate in the future.
Only now did everyone discover Lin Yuan's methods.
They all underestimated this young man, and even more underestimated the power of the lordship.
