Chapter 682: The Great Merchant in Transformation
Early the next morning, under the support of thousands of sergeants, the civil and military officials began to advance towards the west mountain of Chaoge City.
It's just that these people's moods are more exciting than the other, and a very small number of people who are completely loyal to the big merchants are injected into the Bigan Shangrong Dutaishi, etc., and their hearts are complicated and inexplicable, Ye Zhen has already opened the golden mouth, if what he said yesterday was just a big word....
The emperor in everyone's hearts, that is, Ye Zhen, will undoubtedly become the laughing stock of the whole world, and will have a great impact on the majesty.
As for most of the others, they were all gloating, and they had already asked Cheng Cheng to investigate last night, and it was still that barren land, where there were any academies.
"Do you really think of yourself as a god?"
However, when the civil and military officials had just passed the West Mountain, the two cities were directly erected in front of them!
The pure black city wall seems to be swallowed up even by the light, as if two behemoths, one large and one small, are standing between the mountains, and the open gate is even more like the vicious mouth of a fierce beast, as if it wants to devour everyone!
"How is this possible!" These five words popped up in everyone's hearts.
The white robe was tattooed with gold edges, and two strands of green silk hung down from the sideburns, and Chunjun, who looked like a Confucian more than a military general, smiled and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, it's not too early, let's set off early to familiarize yourself with the places where you will study in the future."
It's just that although the voice is not loud, it is unusually clear to the ears of everyone who is like a long tongue.
Among them, the well-informed people looked slightly shocked, such as Huang Feihu who rode the colorless sacred cow, he could do it like this, but it would not be as breezy as Chunjun.
In this way, Huang Feihu glanced at Chun Jun, he didn't feel the mana fluctuation on Chun Jun's body, and thought that he was just an ordinary scholar, but he didn't expect it to be so deeply hidden!
With Chunjun's urging, the pace of the hundred civil and military officials also accelerated a lot, but Wangshan ran a dead horse, and its Chinese officials were weak and weak, and when they arrived in front of the Dashang Academy, many of them were already sweating.
However, the generals are all in good spirits here, and this distance is nothing at all, and they even run farther than this when they lead troops to train on weekdays.
The pitch-black academy wall in front of him was at least 100 meters high and tens of meters wide, and people standing under this heavy city wall were almost like ants.
"Prime Minister, please wait a moment" Chunjun stopped Bigan, who was about to enter the city, and without waiting for him to ask, he took out a token from his arms, and the purple-gold light emitted from the token and shot straight towards the city.
It's just that after this ray of light flew out, a whirlpool with a diameter of about two meters suddenly appeared in front of him.
Looking back at the civil and military officials in front of him, Chun Jun said loudly, "In the future, when you enter and exit the academy, you must hold this token, if you trespass or want to escape, you will be strangled to the scum by this large array of guardians, I hope you will remember."
As soon as the words fell, Chunjun stepped out, and as soon as he got close to the whirlpool, he was sucked in by some kind of force, and after a while, the others also followed.
It's just that as soon as I entered, I was startled by the never-before-seen circular building in the distance.
Chunjun knew that these ministers behind him would have a big purge when the master's layout was completed, and it was not known how much would be left in the end, so he didn't bother to speak, and led everyone to see the main teaching building of the college, the college cafeteria, the dormitory, and the library.
"Doctor Chun, you said that after this glass, it is a simple book?" Bigan was a little surprised.
Chunjun glanced at the dense bookshelves behind the closed glass door, as well as the large number of paper books on the shelves, stroked his beard and smiled, "Yes, every book here can be called a treasure in the world, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, astronomy and geography, the art of war, and even the magic of the martial arts, all-encompassing, if ordinary people have the opportunity to enter the inside to take a look...".
Speaking of this, Chunjun couldn't help but show a look of interest, and immediately shook his head and sighed lightly, and said to the main road beside him, "The whole big business school, this place is the absolute supreme, even I can't enter."
"But do you need the king's special approval?" Bigan asked, as a generation of Ming Xiang, he himself is a bachelor who has read countless papers, and Chunjun said it so powerfully, it really makes his heart itch.
"No, it's not difficult to say that it's hard to enter the library, it's not easy to say, according to what the king said, whoever can enter this place depends entirely on their own performance in the academy, and those who perform well will get the opportunity to enter the library."
As he spoke, Chunjun suddenly thought of something, and looked at the pensive Huang Feihu and the military generals behind him, "There is a library for literature, there is a arsenal for martial arts, according to the king, this academy was built by a man of God."
"In addition to the library that collects these huge works, there is also an arsenal, in which there are countless divine weapons and sharp weapons, and there are even many things comparable to the acquired spiritual treasures."
"Acquired Spirit Treasure!" Huang Feihu's already small tiger eyes instantly shone terrifyingly!
"This is a good opportunity, this academy is not something that anyone can enter if they want to, if you perform well, this great opportunity is in front of you" Jun Jun is no longer ready to say more.
A few days later, outside the gate of the Chaoge Imperial Palace, a group of soldiers carried logs and quickly set up a large bulletin platform, followed by dozens of war horses galloping towards the four city gates.
The next scene has attracted the attention of many people, the big business is a nu subordinate society, except for a few nobles, the rest are all nu subordinate, even if the capital of the big business, there are many nobles in the Chaoge City with nu subordination, idle panic and wandering on the street.
There was no entertainment, and the nobles, who were already happy to walk nu li, saw that there was a lively scene, and immediately took their subordinates nu li to surround the stands.
"My lord, what's written on it?" Someone in the audience asked.
The characters on this platform are not the current oracle bones, but Chinese traditional, written by Ye Zhen himself.
"The king has an order! From today on, no matter whether it is a nobleman or a nu subordinate, as long as I am a direct member of the Dashang family, I can take the admission test, as long as I pass the test, I can enter the Dashang Academy to study civil and martial arts, and after I finish my studies, I can work for my Dashang."
"Wow!"
The moment the palace guard's voice fell, it caused an uproar, and the reaction was very unified, and the nobles and nu subordinates all looked incredulous.
"Quiet!"
With a burst of applause, the scene was instantly silent, and the guard nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "The king has an order!" The people of the big merchants can be tested, no one can stop them, and once they find out, they will be killed! β
"But... The king is merciful, if anyone or whoever passes the test, in addition to a large number of shell coins, you can also get a mysterious gift personally received and given by the king himself! βγ
"Dare to ask my lord, how should I test it?" One of the nobles hurriedly said.
"Yes, my lord, how do you do it?"
The others echoed it, and this kind of thing was completely good, and there was no resistance at all.
"After that, a big man will set up a formation here, and if he can get out of the formation soberly, he will pass the test, but..."
The guard sneered, his eyes swept over the more and more people in front of him, and said loudly, "I heard that this great array can distinguish those who are loyal and have a heart for me, even if they can't pass the test, they will only be asleep for half a day. β
Almost all the nobles shuddered when they heard the words "Soul Destroying", as for the *subordinates under these people, they were like walking corpses, their lives were cheaper than dirt, so what if they died.
When the guards left and Ye Zhen's clone descended and carved the formation in the specially built test hall outside the east gate of the imperial city, some * subordinates immediately rushed in and jumped into the formation.
The guards guarding the formation did not stop it, this formation can accommodate up to a hundred people to test at the same time, and these dozens of people are nothing at the moment.
The purple gold light of the formation engraved on the bluestone floor was lush, and the runes that flashed with mysterious light were suspended after someone stepped in, and spun rapidly around the formation, just in the blink of an eye, a purple-gold light curtain was formed to block all vision.
However, after a while, the people who had rushed into the formation before were ejected one after another.
At this time, in the palace, the sleeping palace of colorful scales.
"Husband, will this be stricter?" Zhi Ruo looked at the picture in the water mirror operation in front of her, and whispered softly, now that half a day has passed, almost a thousand people have tried it, but only this one has passed the test.
There are more than 240,000 soldiers in the entire Chaoge City, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to have even a hundred people this time.
"That's the calculation, but people can't be counted as a simple number, just the 240,000 people in Chaoge City, at least 300 people will be able to pass, plus other cities, as well as 800 princes' residences, the academy will have at least a thousand capable people in the next half a year," Ye Zhen whispered.
"Can there be so many people?" The fourth girl was surprised.
"My good sister, more than 1,000 people are selected from millions of people, which is really not much" Zhao Min, who used to be the county lord, did not think that this number was too much.
"It's just to recruit students from those eight hundred princes' territories, will it..."Zhao Min was still a little worried.
"Don't be afraid, identity and even memory can be modified, but the soul can't, I still have some research on the soul, this formation is to investigate the root bones, to investigate the mind, and the third is to check the soul, from the moment of reincarnation."
"That's fine, then, husband, let's go nextβ" Colorscale asked.
"Now that the preparations are almost complete, the rest of the things still need to be taken slowly, the aura of this world has never been seen before, I am afraid that a year is worth more than forty years in the real world, in the future, you and I will cultivate together, after all, strength is the foundation" Ye Zhen said solemnly.
The three girls nodded together, and Ye Zhen directly gathered the spirit town under the harem, and used the colorful scale dormitory as the spiritual power gathering point to begin to gather spiritual power, and the four of them cultivated steadily in the palace.
As for the mundane affairs of the outside world, they have their own subordinates to do it, not to mention that Ye Zhen also released a rune clone, although he does not have any strength, but he has a trace of Ye Zhen's soul, and there is no problem in supervising the smooth progress of the plan.
Half a year has passed in a blink of an eye, and Ye Zhen has been out of the customs once, because after the half-year study period, the military generals of the DPRK and China are fine, but most of the Wenchen side have not passed the exam.
Ye Zhen did what he said, and when he came out directly, he asked these guys for leave to tell them to return to their hometowns, and those who dared to resist would be directly executed no matter how powerful your family was.
After killing a few, the others instantly became honest.
A month later, the first batch of sweet potatoes matured, and after genetic optimization by Dawu, with the world's backward agricultural technology, the yield per mu reached 70 quintals, which is equivalent to 7,000 catties in the real world!
If these seventy quintals of sweet potatoes are saved, the rations for a family of three for more than half a year are enough!
In less than ten days, the news spread throughout the entire Great Shang and the territory of the eight hundred princes!
According to the news, in addition to sweet potatoes, there are four or five other crops that are resistant to drought and waterlogging and have extremely exaggerated yields, and everyone in the world is boiling for a while!
Immediately afterwards, 800 princes came to Chaoge and offered generous gifts to obtain sweet potatoes and other crop seedlings.
However, the only people who were rewarded with sweet potato seedlings were Jiang Huanchu, the titular father of Cai Scale, and Hou Houhu, who was Hou Hou.
At first, the other princes didn't do anything, but without permission, the other princes directly sent troops to crusade without permission, and after the holy decree of the unending death was issued, Xibo Hou Ji Chang, Nanbo Hou E Chongyu and the eight hundred princes instantly changed their faces.
But before these people could react, every city in the territory of Dashang was built a month ago, and Ye Zhen ordered that in the future, the territory of Dashang would no longer be traded with shell coins, but with paper money, and clearly stipulated various details of trading and various regulations.
Those who hold shellfish coins can exchange them in each city money bank, and if anyone is still trading with shellfish coins after a month, they will not wait!
As soon as this order was issued, the people of the Great Merchants didn't think much about it at first, but they were afraid of punishment, so they rushed to the money store to exchange it.
The 800 princes who were still stranded in Chaoge all understood the reason, and if the big merchants were allowed to completely control the currency, the superficial benefits would not be mentioned for the time being.
The most important thing and what makes everyone feel cold is that they have seen this new coin, and it cannot be imitated at all, if there is a conflict with the big merchants in the future, such as the opposite, the big merchants only need to cut off their money, or it won't be long...
Thinking of this, as long as the princes with a slightly larger territory poured into the palace again, begging Ye Zhen to pass on the technology of making this kind of coin to them, and even at a great price.
During this period, there were many people who wanted to break into the big business money store and do some shady things, but at this time, the staff in the money bank in the entire big business territory were robots with good combat effectiveness, and there were traps everywhere that could be called black technology, not to mention the enchantment protection, and anyone who sneaked in without permission was all gone.
In this way, there was only one way to plead, but after waiting for a month, Ye Zhen didn't see him in person, and the eight hundred princes waited for another big news.
The most mysterious agricultural department of the Great Merchants has a kind of thing called cement that can make the ground smooth, clean and strong, and the road paved with this cement only needs to pay a dime at the entrance, even if it does not use a horse-drawn carriage, it can travel hundreds of miles a day just by running on two legs!
Directly between the last two cities, and most importantly, this kind of road, known as the city road, in addition to the two-meter-high spiked fence, is often patrolled by passing sergeants, and there is no longer any need to be afraid of horse thieves and bandits who block the road and rob them.
And just as the road was rapidly paved, the eight hundred princes finally couldn't sit still!
It has been three months since he came to Chaoge, and after seeing all kinds of unheard-of methods, many of these 800 princes have completely leaned towards the Great Shang.
Needless to say, the currency that can make them collapse in a very short period of time, if the road is built in the future, the exchanges between the various cities of the great merchants will surely become closer, and the speed of development will surely increase day by day.
The most important thing is that if this kind of road is built to their territory, the restriction of the Great Shang on the eight hundred princes will definitely be doubled, so it is better to declare allegiance in advance.
PS: Thank you for the two book friends, Bronze knows who it is, but I won't say much here haha.
