Chapter 370: Formal Establishment
The new capital of Asahi is in the process of rapid reorganization, and it is impossible to complete all the construction in a hurry, but at least the planning of the urban area and the construction of various government departments, especially the imperial palace. Although Xiao Hao rejects the old palace that does not know how much dirt and dirt is hidden, as a symbol of the feudal era and a symbol of power, Xiao Hao must live in the palace.
In this era, in this context, Xiao Hao has a lot of things that have to bow to tradition. Truth be told, no modern person would like a place like the Imperial Palace, which has a dimly lit interior and a dimly lit old building. Not to mention that among these palaces, I don't know how many unjust souls, Xiao Hao felt that living in such a place would be haunted.
In another world, the most haunted places are those ancient palaces, but these places are precisely places that refuse scientific inspection! Those private houses are haunted, and they can be inspected by various scientists, and the government supports them; but those palaces and other places are haunted, and they are absolutely forbidden to be inspected! This makes Xiao Hao have a little psychological shadow of the palace.
It's just that if you want to gain a foothold in this world, sometimes you really have to respect tradition, and Xiao Hao can only temporarily succumb to the power of tradition.
However, because everything is assigned, under the guidance of the principle of governing the country according to law, Xiao Hao is very relaxed and relaxed, and he will go around when he is idle. Xiao Hao won't do anything about micro-service private interviews with brain-dead, things really can't be done, that will shake the foundation of the country. As an emperor and a symbol of integrity, Xiao Hao goes out openly every time he goes out, and he is afraid that others will not know.
Today, Xiao Hao took Yun'er and the two of them to stroll through the market, followed by the protection of the Danxin master provided by the Han Sect and the Mo family. There are also two primordial god masters provided by Shushan to protect - Shushan has also taken out the old bottom. Today's Xiao Hao is already the most important "investment" of the three companies, and this investment has now brought huge profits to the three companies!
Not to mention that the Han Patriarch and the Mo family complemented each other, they also got new ideas and a future here in Xuguo. The explosion of ideas led to a new growth for the two companies. And Shushan is not to mention, directly from the Yingzhou Secret Realm to take away a very good mountain area, the entire mountain gate has been relocated, and the original place is left with some old people to guard.
Along the way, Xiao Hao was familiar with the people around him. Many people here are originally from Haizhou, and there are not a few people who know Xiao Hao. Yun'er grabbed Xiao Hao's sleeve and looked around relatively calmly. The whole Asahi country is thriving, and people have heartfelt smiles on their faces.
At this time, Xiao Hao chased a person behind him, this person was Xiao Hao's new squire, this is a young man about the same age as Xiao Hao; under Xiao Hao's strong opinion, Xu Guo canceled the strange setting of eunuchs, and Xiao Hao was not ready to make a big harem. That's asking for trouble. On the other hand, Xiao Hao began to use female officials to fill some of the management loopholes caused by the vacancy of eunuchs.
In fact, the reason why eunuchs were so popular in ancient times was not only used to manage the inner palace, but most importantly, there was a buffer between the emperor and the ministers, and everyone kept a little face with each other...... Kill the eunuchs. Therefore, the imperial court needs eunuchs, and even high-ranking officials and nobles need a certain amount of eunuchs as lubricants.
But the existence of eunuchs is a deformed state of affairs in itself, and Xiao Hao replaces the existence of eunuchs with two methods. Female officers are used first. Let women manage part of the work, and take advantage of the opportunity for women to make themselves prominent, and secondly, to use the sons of some inspected officials at all levels who are about to become officials to serve as squires for a period of time. It's usually just a few months, which is an alternative kind of reward. And because of the rule of law, there is no fear that these people will be pretended to be powerful in the future; after all, they will change one in a few months, and if there are too many things, they will be worthless. Right now, there are five squires around Xiao Hao, who help deal with different things.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Hao's majesty had been initially revealed.
"Your Majesty. There is a problem with the renovation of the capital. Please go back and discuss. ”
"Oh, okay. Xiao Hao had to turn around and pull Yun'er, who was pouting, back. Today's opportunity to play alone like this is ruined!
..................
"What's the matter?" Xiao Hao was surprised to find that all the officials of Shangshu Province and most of the officials of the Ministry of Rites were gathered here, and in addition to these, there were many related officials. Most of the high-ranking officials of Xuguo are here now. Such a situation. Xiao Hao was really a little surprised, very surprised.
"Your Majesty, there is a little problem with the transformation of the capital. "The representative of the merchant in charge of the renovation of the capital stepped forward. Yes, Xiao Hao actually delegated the matter of the transformation of the capital to the merchants! But it must be said that in the face of the transformation of the capital, the merchants can be said to be united, and all the merchants know that if this matter is messed up, Xu Guo will not know how to treat the merchants in the future. At the very least, there will be a lot of restrictions on the various terms and conditions!
"Say it. It will not be a problem to alarm most of the officials, the entire Shangshu Province and the Ministry of Rites. Xiao Hao rubbed his eyebrows, he was worrying about more and more things recently.
"Your Majesty, as requested, we have expanded the city. But problems arose during the construction of the temple. Because according to the regulations, the Temple of Earth needs to be built three miles outside the city. Now that we have demolished the city wall, there is no 'city' as a landmark, and because of the expansion of the city, the southern part of the city is a swamp, and it is impossible to build a temple of earth.
The altar of earth symbolizes the solidity of the country, which must be built in a strong place and has strict requirements. ”
Xiao Hao was suddenly speechless in surprise, these things are still so exquisite? It really makes Xiao Hao's head big. But I have to pay attention to the fact that this is already another world, and this place really pays attention to these things. It is no wonder that so many people have been alarmed by the construction of the small altar of earth.
"Can't you use your supernatural powers to change the terrain?" Xiao Hao was a little speechless.
"No!" Tu Yong stood up at this time, "Anything related to sacrifice must be natural, otherwise it is the source of no origin." ”
"Okay. Do you have to be three miles away from the city? Can you go farther and beyond that swamp?"
"No, this swamp is wide, and the swamp in the middle is an unlucky representation. Because swamps mean no roads!"
"Otherwise," Xiao Hao suddenly heard a joke from another world at this time, "Since it must be three miles, then we will name a street." The name of the street is 'Sanli', or 'Sanliwai' or something like that. Is this possible? If necessary, you can also have supernatural powers in your name or something. ”
Far from being offensive, such a ridiculous idea is not offensive, but it makes people start to think about it!
"That's a good idea, maybe it can really be manipulated. Lan Hai was the first to speak. Not to mention, there are quite a few people who agree!
"Then try it! I'll arrange it. After Tu Yong finished speaking. led his own people and businessmen to leave, and Xiao Hao didn't have to worry about the rest of the matter. Now that there is a feasible way, Xiao Hao can continue to play.
As a result, before Xiao Hao could speak, Yun'er pulled Xiao Hao and dragged her out, the little girl was furious, she said that she was playing with me today, you can't be unreasonable.
"Hehe......" Han Changling and the others could only smile slightly when they saw this situation. If it was before, these people would definitely reprimand Xiao Hao for not doing his job, but seeing that Xiao Hao is now taking care of Haizhou in an orderly manner, they also began to slowly think about and accept many small problems and problems of Xiao Hao. As long as you don't make big mistakes. There is nothing wrong with the constant mistakes.
Xiao Hao and Yun'er continued to play, but they didn't know that the famous "Sanli 'Chang' Street" had already been decided in the future - a street that was actually only a little more than a mile long was named "Sanli", and such a thing was even accepted by the entire Xu Kingdom, and the function of the altar was not weakened!
The New Year finally came, and everyone began to celebrate in Xishan Town. In the past less than three years, Haizhou has developed into Xuguo, and a small squire of the Xiao family has developed into a royal family, and even received the full support of the Han Zongfa family and the Mo family. The rest of the commercial tentacles are also beginning to move closer to Xuguo.
The most representative of the Linglong Pavilion in the hundred workers is officially based in the Xu Kingdom, and the Ye Bao Pavilion of the Linglong Pavilion represents the Linglong Pavilion in the Xuguo Kingdom. The soldiers have an opinion on the country of Xu. However, the soldiers and warriors have no opinion! The relationship between the soldiers and the soldiers and the warriors is no longer what it used to be; there are hundreds of soldiers and warriors, large and small, and now the soldiers and warriors to which Wu Dingyue belongs have extended an olive branch to the Xu Kingdom. The setting of the staff of Xuguo has made many soldiers and martial artists very excited - maybe they can also completely get rid of the big hat on their heads in this way. And this is the second reason why the soldiers don't want to see Xuguo.
In general, Xiao Hao and Xu Guo have received a lot of support and offended many genres, this is no way, even if the immortals come, they can't do everything. Sometimes if you want to gain something, you have to lose something.
But anyway. Asahi has had a good year this year. People cheered, merchants could walk freely on the land, and wide roads connected every city in Asahi Province. Civilians also have money to buy something new. In addition to these, there are people of various genres who come to watch, for this rapidly rising Asahi country. All schools of thought want to come and see what kind of secrets are available here that allow the Han Patriarchal and Mohist families to unite and support the growth of the country without barriers.
However, compared with Xuguo's happiness, the surrounding countries were not so happy! Just before the end of the New Year, the Song State lost one state again, and in less than a month of fighting, the Song State actually lost two states! In the north, the Cai State also lost two states! The most important thing is that almost all the areas lost by the two countries have the shadow of merchants and civilians.
"It's the other way around!" Song Guojun was furious, "I will detain all the merchants and raid their homes!" All the other civilians must not leave their villages, otherwise they will all be killed on the spot!"
Not surprisingly, the Cai State in the north adopted the same approach.
Only in the southern state of Chen, Nangong Zhi sent a special envoy to report his findings to the emperor and make suggestions. As a result, Chen Guo actually opened up his business! It was also the explosive growth of his neighbor that made Chen Guo think about it for a long time, and finally began to change the law.
They also began to encourage commerce, encourage agriculture, restrict the aristocracy, and began to learn from the Asahi Kingdom. At the same time, there were many people from the miscellaneous family and the Li Zongfa family who passed on the information they had discovered in Xuguo to their own family school, and then Fengguo, who was far away in the West and under the leadership of Li Ziyu, even had to learn to change the law and the like. Many far-flung countries have also been influenced by the Asahi Kingdom to a greater or lesser extent.
Most of them adopted what seemed to be the simplest and most straightforward method, which was to suppress the merchants, but the clever ones began to learn to change, or at least imitate it, and of course a large number of countries sat back and watched the change.
In a word, the political environment here in Asahi has caused changes in the entire Terran world, but more people don't know what this change represents!
"Come, General Nangong, please take a seat. You're welcome. Lan Hai took Nangong Zhi into the lobby, where many high-ranking officials of Xuguo have arrived, this is the first day of "work" after the New Year, everyone is ready to discuss their political ideals and so on in a relaxed banquet atmosphere, and talk about various issues. This is also a place and occasion specially prepared by Xiao Hao for everyone to communicate with each other, communicate with each other, and even resolve grievances. Everyone is an official in the same dynasty. It is inevitable that there will be some pimples, and Xiao Hao must try his best to solve this pimple.
And Nangong Zhi, the representative of Chen Guo who was the first to prepare for the formal establishment of diplomacy with Xu Guo, was also invited to the banquet. Sit side by side with the blue ocean. In fact, this is a relaxed environment for communication, where everyone sits on a low stool of the same height, drinks the same wine, and eats the same food, even Xiao Hao is no exception.
And today, there are thousands of representatives of ordinary businessmen to participate in this grand event.
Xiao Hao picked up his wine glass and motioned to the surroundings: "Everyone can speak freely." Don't worry about anything. Even if you point at my nose and scold me today, I don't have to worry about it! Today, I don't need to talk nonsense, just talk about things directly, and I don't get tired of beating around the bush every day. ”
"Ha ......" The atmosphere was hot for a while.
"Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty. However, the foreign minister had a little doubt, and asked His Majesty to give advice. "Nangong Zhi, this old fox will look for opportunities.
"Say it. For these old foxes, Xiao Hao was very rational and did not go around in circles with the other party, otherwise it was very likely that he would turn himself in. Straightforward is the best way to do it.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. The foreign minister has been thinking about a question lately. That is why His Majesty did not prohibit outsiders from studying the various political policies, methods, and measures of the Asahi Kingdom? So that a lot of people can easily get those secrets?"
"Oh...... There are a lot of questions. Let's start with the political aspect. Commander Nangong, do you think that you Chen Guo can really become stronger by completely imitating us?"
"Yes!" Nangong Zhi did not hesitate at this point.
"Well, then I have the most fundamental question for you. You, as well as the kings of the Chen Kingdom, and all the officials of the Chen Kingdom, big and small, are really willing to see the merchants strong and the commoners rich?"
"This ...... At least I will, and so will our king. Nangong Zhi hesitated. The answer is also to avoid the important and light.
"Then let me ask you a second question. What class do your kings represent? nobles or commoners?"
"Aristocrat!" at this point, Nangong Zhi did not hesitate. Anyone who does politics is definitely not a qualified politician if he does not even understand his position.
"But Commander Nangong. You have to be clear. Merchants, commoners, and aristocrats are not a system. To say a very rude thing, the ass decides the head! The words are not rude, no matter how you change, your natural political position has already determined that you will not have to think completely about the rank of commoners and merchants! Everything you have, in the end, is still considered by yourself!
In any decision or policy, the first thing you have to think about is your own profit, followed by businessmen and civilians. And you will not make public the so-called abolition of slave laws, because there are too many interests of the aristocracy involved, and you cannot and cannot do this. ”
"I ......" Nangong Zhi was stuck for a while. What Xiao Hao said is really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, making Nangong Zhi, a smart person, really unable to refute.
"Let's talk about our Asahi country. In Asahi Country, except for a few nobles who surrendered, our entire polity was represented by the common people. As everyone knows, our Xiao family can be said to have started from a humble beginning, even from a humble beginning, because in the past, Haizhou was a well-known hometown of bandits! Now, many of our departments, except for the personnel of the Han Sect and the Mo family, are basically all talents selected from the common people.
Fundamentally, we are a form of government represented by civilians. We don't even need to think about the common people, the merchants, and so on, because while we think about ourselves, we will naturally think about the people of the world! If we want to raise taxes, we need to get more taxes from the merchants and peasants, and the best way to avoid fishing for the sake of the fish is to make the merchants and peasants rich. This is one, without the slightest contradiction.
But you are different, your subject is the aristocracy. If you want to go beyond the nobility and directly manage the commoners. It would hurt the interests of the aristocracy. This fundamentally shakes the foundations of your rule.
So I dare to assert that your changes will either be fruitless or the country will be in turmoil.
I'm sure your king knows that, too, but he is powerless to change anything, because a little change would shake the foundations of the whole nation.
Our Xuguo can have such a development, which is in response to a sentence: do not break and do not stand, break and then stand!
You want to really complete the change. There are two paths. The first way, as we do, is to establish a new regime and overthrow the rotten rule of the aristocracy. I don't think you're going to do that, and you're already starting to defend against merchants, civilians, and charlatans. The second way is to remove the bones! You have completed a complete change yourself, and the royal family has given up everything in the past, and even took the initiative to lift the butcher's knife and completely put the nobles in the country in a cage. and surrendered himself to kingship.
So, Commander Nangong, do you think I'm right?"
Nangong Zhi's face became more and more ugly with Xiao Hao's words, and finally suddenly turned pale, and suddenly looked up at Xiao Hao, his eyes were full of fear, unprecedented fear, "You did it on purpose!"
"Yes, on purpose, as long as you learn from Asahikoku. Your foundations will be shaken, and if you don't learn from the Asahi Kingdom, your slaves, commoners, merchants, etc., will learn from us!
It's a fire. A fire that has already burned! A spark can start a prairie fire, and now it has a posture of burning the prairie again! The moment Asahi really stands up, it is time for you to make a choice.
Therefore, I am not afraid of you studying, because this is poison! For any aristocratic politics, the politics of the Asahi Kingdom is poison. And it's a poison that can't be avoided.
Either you scrape your own bones, or let the commoners roar to overthrow you, and make the aristocracy a symbol of history. Don't think you're powerful, I can tell you. The Fengguo in the West has already burned the same flame with the support of the Zajia and the Li Zongfa family, and in the East, it is us!
There are nine streams in the world, and now there are four powerful schools of Confucianism, Confucianism, Grammar and Ink Miscellaneous, and now among these four schools, even Confucianism is starting a new attempt. The politics of the aristocracy is coming to an end. ”
Nangong Zhi's hands had already begun to tremble, but he still tried to keep his composure, "Isn't the Fengguo of the West also learning from you? And the development is very good, and it will inevitably be your enemy in the future." ”
Xiao Hao was full of confidence: "No, since I let him learn, how can there be no way." To put it bluntly, Xuguo is a teacher, and Fengguo is a student. Since he studied with me, he would always have to eat dust behind me. In the end, they will understand that all they do is as my wedding dress!
And I am not afraid that they will know these words, because they have no turning back. ”
Nangong Zhi lowered his head and thought, while the merchant and civilian representatives in the courtyard, as well as a large number of officials of Xuguo, etc., were cheering and celebrating. Xiao Hao looked around with a smile, what he said just now was not only for Nangong Zhi, but also for his own people. No, after listening to Xiao Hao's words, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became lively.
The banquet ended in a joyful atmosphere, and Xiao Hao's speech at the banquet quickly spread out, causing countless supporters in the kingdom of Xu, but when these words spread out, it became a nightmare for the surrounding countries - they suddenly found that it seemed that they were really on the edge of the cliff.
Either remove the bones yourself, or let others completely overthrow the rule! When this question is placed in front of the top leaders of every country, some sneer, some do not care, some panic, and some even say that they want to destroy the Xu Kingdom.
But as long as some knowledgeable rulers heard Xiao Hao's words, they all expressed their feelings of approval. And Nangong Zhi is ready to recruit a group of talents from Chen Guofang in Xu to return to China and try to change the law.
Time passed day by day, and finally in the second half of the first month, the capital of Xuguo was officially moved to Liguang City, and the great departure from the royal court became history completely, and Xuguo was officially established. Later, a series of things such as sacrificing heaven and earth, getting married, and establishing a queen were busy with Xiao Hao's feet not touching the ground.
When in February, Xiao Hao hugged the green moon with his hair coiled, listened to the national anthem in the morning sun, and looked at the slowly rising national flag, Xuguo began to flourish.
The national flag and national anthem also appeared in this world for the first time, and as soon as it was displayed, it exploded with great power, making the entire country condense. The national flag is a burning sun in the blue sea and blue sky. The national anthem is adapted from folk material.
It's just that the Blue Moon Fairy officially became the queen of the Asahi Kingdom, and I don't know how many people broke their tears. (To be continued......)
