Chapter 445: Peace is over
Wei
It has been ten years since the sanctification of the Three Sages, and the world has been peaceful for more than 30 years.
However, the peace here refers to the overall peace, which seems to be calm on the surface, but the undercurrent under the water never stops. The private assassinations, competitions, and suppression of various countries have never stopped.
While the big countries form technological alliances, exchange what they have, form economic alliances, and exchange the materials they need on a large scale, they are also blockading and suppressing small countries, going to small countries from time to time to carry out assassinations, and from time to time buying off nobles and officials of small countries.
There has never been peace in this world, but many new generations were born after 86 years of their families, and they were born in Yancheng, the world's most powerful country, so they have an illusion of peace in the world. But delusions are just illusions, not truth.
In the past 30 years and more, the great powers have been working hard, and the defense of the country has also been working hard.
Wei Hou knew that the goal of Wei was to defend the country.
Who let Wei and Wei side by side, so close, the feudal lords and small princes in the middle have been divided between Wei and Wei.
Today's Wei Guo, after completing negotiations with small feudal lords and small princes, the land area has instantly expanded to 600 counties, and the Wei State opposite has 700 counties, so the two sides seem to be about the same.
Today, Wei Hou received the news that Wei was transferring troops, and immediately called the current Wei Guo in power, this ruler looks like an elderly Confucian student, with a white beard two feet long, and his forehead is also full of wrinkles, he looks like an ordinary old man, holding a wooden cane in his hand, walking and crutches.
This old man is very old and is known as Mei Gong.
Mei Gong and Kong Sheng are people of the same era, they can be regarded as followers of Kong Sheng, little fan brothers, and one of the ancestors of Confucianism. When he was more than 80 years old, he came to Weiguo, began to govern and defend the country, and began to carry out reforms in Weiguo.
Over the years, a large number of young Confucian students have come to defend the country and carry out reform and practice in the country.
Mei Gong also respected Wei Hou because Wei Hou was willing to let go of power.
Therefore, although Wei Hou is proficient in eating, drinking, and having fun, although Wei Hou is particularly fond of playing with women and eating delicious food, and although Wei Hou is extravagant, in Mei Gong's heart, Wei Hou is a good monarch.
In Mei Gong's view, the most important thing to evaluate whether a monarch is a qualified monarch is to look at the ability to govern the country, and it is not important how personal morality is.
Just like Qi Huan Gong and the audience, Qi Huan Gong himself is a big rotten who eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, smokes all kinds of drugs, and is a complete faint king.
But this faint monarch has an advantage, that is, he delegates power to Guan Zhong and listens to Guan Zhong's words, so he has become a hegemon and a model of lying down to win. However, success is also in charge of Zhong, defeat is also in charge of Zhong, and after Guan Zhong's death, Qi Huan Gong will not be able to do it. In the end, there was even a tragedy of the morgue ignoring and attacking each other.
The same is true of the Wei Hou in front of him, although Wei Hou's private morality is not very good, and he does not meet the standards of a gentleman at all, but Wei Hou is willing to give himself the power to govern, and he governs the country in an orderly manner, so the evaluation of Wei Hou in the history books of later generations must be a Ming Jun.
When Mei Gong was thinking like this, Wei Hou was also observing him.
Before Mei Gong came in, Wei Hou was lying on the beauty, and there were several beauties around him. Some are responsible for serving as pillows for Wei Hou, some are responsible for pouring wine for Wei Hou, some are responsible for dancing for Wei Hou, some are responsible for blowing, playing and singing, and some are responsible for controlling magic instruments and adjusting a series of factors such as temperature, humidity, and aura content in the room.
In short, with the gradual realization of the concept of Taoism into life, not only the productivity increased, but the luxury enjoyed by the nobles also greatly increased.
In the past, the aristocracy would kill tens of thousands of ducks or thousands of cattle for a meal, and take a small part of each cow's favorite as a dish, which was already a great and extravagant practice.
But now, with the popularization of magic weapons, the luxury of the aristocracy has suddenly climbed several floors in a row, just like riding a rocket, it is really something that only ordinary people can't imagine, and no nobles can't do it. Poverty, which limits the imagination of ordinary people.
After Mei Gong came in, Wei Hou sat up: "Sir, sit, serve tea!" ”
Mei Gong sat down and took a sip of tea before waiting for Wei Hou's order.
Wei Hou handed over the collected information, and Mei Gong looked at the information, which was expected: "It seems that peace is going to end after all." ”
Speaking of this, Mei Gong began to take stock of his family background and tell Wei Hou, and he had to increase Wei Hou's confidence.
After a glance, only Wei Hou and Mei Gong were left around.
"Your Majesty, it has been more than 30 years since the minister came to defend the country, and in the past 30 years, the minister has used Confucian magic and Taoism to reform the country."
Confucianism is best at communicating with people, people and other living beings; The Mohists are the best at communicating with themselves, including their own physical bodies, their own primordial spirits, and their own everything; Taoists are the best at communicating concepts, the so-called Tao or deities.
The three have their own strengths, but Confucianism has many advantages in governing the country.
As long as you become a monk, you can communicate with several people, so that these people can be heart-to-heart and share the same fate. Warlocks can communicate with dozens of people, Taoist priests can easily communicate hundreds, Yushi is thousands, and real people are tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.
It doesn't seem like much, but everyone who has governed the country knows that when governing the country, many times the biggest problem is not that you can't think of a good decree, but that a good decree can't be implemented at all, and eventually it becomes a bad decree.
Sometimes, the central government collects taxes by a common people to increase their income by ten cents a year, but when it comes to the localities, in the end, the officials take away from the people a hundred cents or more.
The decree is not smooth, and the top and bottom are not united.
In a village, there may be only a few hundred to several thousand men, women and children combined. The village chief is a alchemist, and he uses supernatural powers to obtain several deputy village chiefs who are heart-to-heart with him, and let these deputy village chiefs take care of one aspect by themselves. In this way, there will be no problems in the management of a village.
If a Confucian warlock becomes the head of the township, he can use his supernatural powers to forcibly make the village chief under him have the same idea and the same will!
A Confucian Taoist priest serving as a county magistrate is a county edict that can ensure that each village chief listens to himself and executes it according to his own will. With such a county order, whoever comes has to give a thumbs up.
The people don't care if the county order uses supernatural powers on the village chiefs, as long as the people at the bottom live well, they won't care about these things.
In the same way, a Confucian scholar can govern a county well.
When Mei Gong came to Weiguo, he first brought his disciples and grandchildren to Weiguo in a group, and served as the Taishou of more than 80 counties as soon as he came up. Then, Mei Gong began to write letters, calling friends, and finally it took five years to finally achieve that the Taishou of every county was a feather soldier.
After reaching this point, Mei Gong began to make drastic reforms.
The Confucian scholars served as the village chiefs, and one person persuaded several deputy village chiefs to work with him, and this control was enough to ensure that Mei Gong's decrees could be clearly transmitted to each village.
With such an administrative mobilization ability, you can smoothly reform even if you let a pig sit in the position of Mei Gong.
This is Mei Gong's truth, using Confucian magic to reason with you.
If you don't listen to reason, then you will see my supernatural powers!
After reading the supernatural powers, you will also understand my truth!
Mei Gong's approach has opened the eyes of many people, and there are many people who criticize Mei Gong and many who learn from Mei Gong.
In comprehensive governance, Mei Gong relied on his strong strength and strong ability to reason to successfully govern and defend the country and smoothly promote reform.
"In the past 30 years, the materials we have purchased from Yancheng have all been discounted."
"For more than 30 years, Chen has been thinking about what is the most suitable industry for us to defend the country."
Hearing this, Wei Hou seemed to have thought of something, and sighed directly.
Mei Gong didn't care about Wei Hou's thoughts, but said directly: "Let's defend the country, bordering the Wei country." Although Lao Chen worked hard to reform, and even Lao Chen himself became a great real person because of the reform, Lao Chen must admit that we are not the opponent of Wei. ”
"In today's defense of the country, there is only one real man, and there are many real people and the first generation, and there are dozens of them."
Since the creation of Qinglian sanctification, in just over 30 years, the first generation has directly appeared in piles and piles.
Before the creation of the Qinglian sanctification, the way of the Thunder Tribulation was not completely promoted. At that time, if you want to cross the tribulation, you have to build an altar, sacrifice the Qinglian, and then offer sacrifices, and finally you can cross the tribulation.
After becoming holy, there is no need for sacrifices, no sacrifices, and only those who meet the conditions can directly cross the tribulation.
The intermediate steps are omitted, and the crossing becomes simple and straightforward.
Of course, the catastrophe does not provide a minimum guarantee, and it is very common for the catastrophe to fail, and you may die directly.
In the past, the Creation Qinglian could at least guarantee that even if the tribulation failed, it would be able to live.
But even so, with the popularity of the Heavenly Tribulation, many people who are not afraid of death have gone to the Tribulation, and most of those who are not afraid of death have died, but those who have survived have made significant progress, and a large number of first generations have been born!
"A big array of people, more than 30 in the first generation, more than 20 innate real people, such a strength was put fifty years ago, it was a real big country, and it was a powerful country in the world. A hundred years ago, it was a superpower comparable to Qi and Chu, second only to Jin! ”
"However, today, in today's world, it can only be regarded as a medium power, a regional power, and the fate of the country is still out of control."
"We have become stronger, Wei has become stronger, at this time, what industry should be suitable for us to defend the country?"
"Agriculture? This is not good, agriculture is the bottom line of Yancheng! ”
Who doesn't know that agriculture is the heart of Yancheng, and Yancheng may not care about other industries, but if it is agriculture, then Yancheng can only suppress it openly.
