The Huai State broke through Yingdu and annexed the Hanjiang Plain and the Nanyang Basin, and the states of Bangzhou were greatly shaken. The state of Chu, which had been competing with the Three Jin Dynasty for hundreds of years, was destroyed like this?

At this moment, the vigilance of all countries against Huai has once again increased.

At the same time, the consequences of the failure of the King of Chu to change the law also made the states of Bangzhou vigilant. If the country is strong without changing the law, it will be destroyed.

With the experience of Chu State, the monarchs of all countries were more urgent to change the law, originally because the nobles in the country were still a little hesitant to change the law, but this time no one hesitated.

After the Huai State annexed the Chu State, the population of the territory increased greatly. The newly acquired land required the dispatch of a large number of officials, and the Huaiguo Academy Palace was almost exhausted and was not enough.

Wang Pu drew a large number of officials from the Huai State to serve in the newly occupied lands. At the same time, it was announced that the newly occupied land would be exempt from tax for three years, followed by two and a half years of taxation, and then levy on forced labor in accordance with the Huai State system.

You must know that the previous conscription in the Chu State was very heavy, and the conscription required them to bring their own food and tools to work for the government, and there was no salary. The law on conscription modified by Huai was that the government distributed food, a small amount of money and tools.

After the restructuring, the life of the people of Chu State suddenly became much easier. Those feudal monarchs who originally wanted to recruit the people to continue to resist were directly cut off by Huaiguo's move.

In addition to the common people, Wang Pu began to forcibly relocate the Haoqiang in the newly occupied land. Then the soldiers who had made great achievements this time were placed in these areas.

Huai attaches great importance to military merits, and soldiers can be rewarded with fields for meritorious deeds. This time in the attack on Chu, there were countless meritorious deeds, and Wang Pu divided all the land rewarded by these soldiers on the newly occupied land.

These soldiers, after obtaining the land, will take root in these places, and they are naturally the grassroots officials who rule the land by Wang Pu.

After these soldiers are disarmed and returned to the field, they will become local lizheng or village heads, and they are the most basic level of Huai rule.

Because these people have served as soldiers, can understand orders, know some laws and regulations, and have seen the world, grassroots officials do not dare to act recklessly.

At the same time, these people know the local situation, can help with taxation, conscription, and many benefits, so that Huaiguo can control the grassroots, know the situation at the grassroots level without being blinded.

The territory occupied at one time is too large, and the Huai State needs to spend a lot of time digesting, and it is not able to fight against the outside world for a while, and the Bangzhou States are afraid that the Huai State will launch an attack because of the pressure of the Huai State, and they dare not fight each other for a while, and the world has rarely settled down.

Huai is concentrating on digesting the spoils of war, and all countries in the world have begun to lick their wounds and prepare for the next big war.

After the Huai State annexed the Chu State, it can be said that it was overwhelming the world. After the strength of Huaiguo was improved, the Huaiguo Palace was also sought after by more scholars.

There are many scholars who come to the Huaiguo Academy, and various schools of doctrine continue to erupt in the palace. Originally, more than a dozen schools of thought have gradually developed dozens or even hundreds of schools under the collision of these ideas.

The various schools debated in the academy, and in this fierce debate, the hundreds of schools of thought also began to plagiarize each other. In addition to the core ideas, they also began to absorb what was good for them or felt good from other schools.

Zijue woke up from a deep sleep, mainly because during this period of time, he gained a lot of luck, every time there is a major event in the world, the system will remind Zijue, as for whether he is willing to wake up, it depends on Zijue himself.

In the school palace, the debates of the hundreds of schools of thought gave Zijue a lot of luck, and these debates were recorded by the clerk.

Zijue woke up from his slumber and saw so many schools erupting in the school palace, and immediately gave Wang Pu, the descendant of this generation, a divine thought.

Wang Pu, who was dealing with affairs in the main hall, suddenly paused, and then directly put down the bamboo slips and got up and rushed to the temple.

In the temple, Zijue asked him to sort out all the theories of the hundred schools of thought in the palace, and then compile them into a book, called "The Hundred Schools of Thought".

Hearing the words of the ancestors, Wang Pu also suddenly became enlightened, and the production of Zhuzi classics is a major event that can be passed on for eternity. It is also a good opportunity for Huaiguo to seize the right to speak.

Immediately, Wang Pu returned to the Huai Palace and ordered: "Gather the clansmen and prepare to compile a great canon, which will rise from the school palace, and all the classics of the hundred schools of thought will be sorted out and compiled, this book will be called "The Hundred Schools of Princes", so that our wisdom will be passed on to future generations!" ”

With Wang Pu's order, Huai Guo immediately mobilized, and it was not easy to compile a canon, let alone include all the sons of the hundred schools. This requires a lot of manpower.

Moreover, there are a large number of opposing theories and theories among the hundreds of schools of thought, all of which must be carefully sorted out and edited.

"The ancestor Wen Wang's "Huai Law" to become the ancestor of the world's law, all countries changed the law, all born in Huai, and then there are "Ram Book", "Guanzi", "Sun Shuzi" and other classics made by great sages, all of which must be included in it, in addition to the law, Confucianism, Taoism, Mo, agriculture and other schools, other small schools of learning should also be included."

"The classics of the hundred schools of thought must not be tampered with or distorted, and this classic will not end here, and our future generations must continue to add to the classics, so that future generations can also see the wisdom of our ancestors."

In the palace, all the children of the public office immediately realized the benefits of this matter, if it was Huai Guo to compile this "Hundred Schools of Thought" canon, then their Huai Kingdom would naturally be regarded as orthodox, not only that, but this was also an excellent opportunity to snatch the right to speak.

Originally, this kind of major thing of codifying the code needed Zhou Tianzi to do, but since the Zhou family moved eastward, the royal family has declined and has completely become a mascot, and it has no ability to do it at all.

As for the compilation of this kind of canon by the Huai State, if it was before the Huai State conquered the Chu State. Huai did this, and the other vassal states of Bangzhou definitely did not agree, and even compiled a "Hundred Schools of Thought" canon for tat.

But now the Huai State has conquered the Chu State, the King of Chu has moved westward, and the world is in the world, and the Huai State accounts for four out of ten, suppressing the world. The princes did not dare to fight with him.

With such influence, if you go to make a ceremony, naturally no one dares to say anything.

After the decision was made to compile the Zhuzi Canon, the Huaiguo Academy immediately boiled, and scholars from many schools wrote letters to their friends and asked them to bring help with the school classics.

It is a very difficult thing to repair a book, not to mention that this is a classic book, and the number of bamboo slips used in it must be amazing.

The only good thing is that there are many classics, which are available here in Huaiguo, and even some classics passed down by the sages of the princes and sages are also included here. This saves a lot of time for the codifying clerk.

——

Ancient China has preserved historical books and cultural classics to an incredible extent, and no country in the world except China has recorded its history so clearly and completely.

The ancient Chinese sages left behind an all-encompassing collection of scholarship and thought, which allows us to find the origin of any thought we have now. Let us witness the wisdom created by the ancient Chinese sages thousands of years ago.
