Chapter 158: Becoming an Empress
As Old Man Shao said, the news that Zhu'er led more than 1,000 people to take Jingzhou soon spread to various places like a spark, and everyone knew that there was a genius young general who was only eleven years old and made such a great achievement.
But this is just the beginning, in the next two years, Zhu'er is like a sharp sword, he is in the hands of Gu Lan, where he is pointed, invincible, invincible.
The most surprising thing is that the number of soldiers under his command is definitely not large, and in two years, countless people have squeezed their heads to get under him, but only 30,000 people have been recruited.
But these 30,000 people are definitely the sharpest force of the Red Army, they have strong discipline, and every time they pull out, they can be called the top masters.
The most important thing is that the team led by Zhu'er has the most transparent promotion rules.
Want to get ahead? Yes, as long as you make military achievements, even if you are from the lowest level of the common people and have no power, you can be a marquis of ten thousand households.
Through the most basic rewards and punishments, Zhu'er firmly grasped this army in his own hands.
Two years later, he finally went to the Jingguo Palace, captured the emperor of the current dynasty, and then, led a large army to meet Gu Lan, and helped her to the most honorable position in one fell swoop.
Gu Lan also became the only queen among the Seven Kingdoms.
Her goal is not only this, looking at the vast land of the Seven Kingdoms, there are more people who need to be liberated, although Jingguo has been fighting endlessly over the years, but the people of other countries often run to Jingguo.
Gu Lan also asked them why they came back to Jingguo, and the answers they got were all without exception, they couldn't survive in their own country.
In the past few years, other countries have seen Jingguo's fight in full swing, and they have all wanted to devour Jingguo, but this is obviously snatching meat from the lion's mouth to eat.
It took Gu Lan a total of three years to conquer the entire Jingguo, and in this way, it was still the result that she tried her best to restrain and wanted to build while fighting.
Zhu'er fought in the front, and she led the people to carry out construction in the rear, divide the fields, resettle the displaced people, and count the population, all of which were originally done until the world was decided, and they were all completed under her.
Not only that, Gu Lan did not forget to continue to innovate, the car is the same track, the book is the same, these are all necessary, she has done what the great ancestors did in her previous life, and re-enacted it in this world.
After fighting Jingguo, it is the other six countries, what Gu Lan thinks is to make Jingguo a model for the reform of the six countries, so that the transformation can be smooth.
As a result, there is such a strange situation in this land of another world, there are barren and barbaric places outside, the people use manpower and livestock to farm, they are not fed and clothed, and there are mountains and forests and difficult dirt roads everywhere.
In Jingguo, there is already a clean and tidy cement road, and people on the road are riding bicycles with unique shapes, some driving horse-drawn carriages, and even a train like a giant beast parked on a special iron track.
In the fields on both sides, there are all kinds of timely crops, including sweet potatoes, corn, peanuts, sugarcane and other cash crops, and the people who cultivate the fields are also people, but the farm tools in the hands of these people are obviously very different from the people outside.
Every household has used gas lamps, and there is no longer a boring life of sunrise and sunset as before, and when there is nothing to do, they go to inquire where there is a singing opera, to listen to the opera, and each village has its own private school, where children can go to school without money......
All of this can only be supported by incomparably abundant financial resources.
Gu Lan can only do it in Jingguo now, if other places want to do this, they must burst out with very strong economic potential.
Soon after ascending the throne, Gu Lan continued to devote herself to the great cause of reunification, she was too busy, she had to deal with countless affairs every day, and now she has a lot of waste to be rebuilt, and there are not many talents to use.
At this time, the benefits of Xu Xu Tuzhi were reflected, Gu Lan ordered the national scientific examination, the initial establishment of four subject examinations, the imperial examination system in the previous life was moved, and some changes were made according to the current situation.
As soon as this move came out, the world was in an uproar again.
Long when Gu Lan ascended the throne, there were many people who sang about her, the existence of the family has its special role, that is, to help the imperial court maintain local rule, even if Gu Lan eradicates most of the family, there will always be a new family.
This is the law, the law that cannot be changed.
Who knew that Gu Lan would make such a big move when he came up, and reopened up the selection channels for talents, those children of the declining family were dumbfounded all of a sudden, and then looked at the simplified Chinese characters required by the imperial examination, they didn't know a few at all, why didn't these people evolve with them?
So in this year's scientific examination, Gu Lan selected many children from poor families as she wished, and assigned them to all parts of the country to be officials, and allocated the distribution of resources.
The next year, she reorganized the army, recalled Zhu'er, and made him the number one general in the world with great pomp, and then gave him a new task.
This time, she wants the whole world.
The goal starts with the two neighboring countries next to Jingguo.
At the beginning, Zhao and Han didn't realize that Jing Guo really attacked them, and then in confusion, they were bulldozed to the ground by the army led by Zhu'er, and the children of those families fled to other countries.
Those families were terrified of Jingguo, but the local people welcomed Jingguo, they had long heard that Jingguo's army would not harm innocent people, nor would they kill those who surrendered, but those who surrendered could be fed and clothed, there was such a good thing, why should they fight for those families who hurt them?
Therefore, there is no need for Zhu'er to be ruthless and stupid, these unproductive families are like straw houses, and they will disperse as soon as the wind blows.
One country after another collapsed under the iron horse of Zhu'er, until the last Qi State, Qi State accommodated the children of the other five countries, forming an alliance, they were ready to work together to resist the tyranny of Jing Guo, three stinkers top Zhuge Liang, not to mention that Qi is a vast country, this blockage has dragged on for another three years.
It's a pity that the people of Qi State can't win against Jing Guo, and Jing Guo can't swallow Qi State, so as time goes by, without waiting for Jing Guo to make a move, those people in Qi State are fighting endlessly because of civil strife.
Many people fled one after another, as long as they were not under Jingguo's hands, they could live anywhere else.
Because of this, many wild places have been slowly occupied by civilization......
And Gu Lan finally ushered in reunification.
In 337 AD, the world was unified, and Gu Lan was the first empress.
