Chapter Ninety-Seven: Through the Ages

In just two days, there were rumors in the market that there were rumors that Meng was ungrateful and perverse, but as soon as the two-day period passed, the rumors disappeared in an instant.

Countless angry people tried to find the rumor-mongers and beat them up, but they found that those who spread anti-Meng rhetoric in the market had changed their minds.

A person of benevolence and virtue through the ages, the Meng man has the virtue of being a good old man, and even the slaves and savages with humble status were moved to go out of the mountains and forests one after another, wanting to live under his rule, using exaggerated words, and praising Wu Dang, who admired Meng Wei the most in Mengdi, and others, couldn't help but hide their faces and leave, feeling too exaggerated.

But the people love to hear it, and they don't even know who the old man is, but this doesn't prevent them from spreading.

All the policies were passed by the middle and low-level officials in power of the aristocracy, and the spring sacrifice was changed to three animals? That is an expression of benevolence, and we are inspired and must support it! Not to mention the spring sacrifice, the autumn sacrifice can be changed to three animals, and the benevolent gods and the ancestors who overcame obstacles to establish meritorious deeds should not be blamed!

This is for the development of the clan and the human race, they should understand that even if there is a natural disaster punishment in the future, it will also punish those Qiantou, what does it have to do with their nobles and witches?

Taking advantage of the good situation, Meng Wei made a drastic move.

First of all, the official positions were reformed, and the various titles were changed from what was called Yin to "Three Yin and Nine Scholars", and the official positions of each city were still the same, but a complete baronial palace system was established on top of it, similar to the internal and external clothes between Chaoge and Chongcheng, but there was no tearing non-interference, and the six cities needed to establish a subordinate relationship with their respective internal officials.

Rong Yin was in charge of the military, Fu Yin was in charge of administration, and Yin was in charge of supervision.

Under the nine scholars, the sorcerers are in charge of the six city sacrifices, ceremonial rules, the head of the nine scholars, and there are court scholars, Lang Zhongling, guards, pawns, internal history, engineers, horse politics, and clan Zheng.

In addition to Rong Yin, it was changed to Deng Zhizhong, Fu Yin was appointed as Wu Cheng, and Yin Yin was appointed as Zhong Xi, the representative of the Inner North Sea Realm. The remaining nine scholars were taken from the four cities of Mengdi, Qingyang Pass, Xucheng, Jicheng, Laicheng, and the veteran Lian Yong of Chongcheng.

Some of the positions are only temporary, and Meng Wei can't expect Lian Yong and these clan children to do their best, otherwise they won't issue a recruitment order.

First of all, we will fundamentally link the land that can be determined under our hands with the enclave, and make preliminary preparations for the subsequent integration of the North Sea.

For Meng Wei's vice-general's action that the entire Beihai was suspected of swallowing, the nobles of the cities cheered, what could be more joyful than the rapid rise of the lord and his ambition?

Of course there is, that is, the secret words that are said to have come from Wu Cheng, Chonghou has been a little conniving with Meng Wei, and combined with the fact that he has never received his eldest son Chongying Biao back, they can't help but think deeply.

After arranging a lot of things, the winter is already halfway over, and the heavy snow has stopped for a while.

Meng Wei called the three principals of the slave camp, Chunxiong, Yu Yue, and Xunu, to come to the main mansion.

At present, the whole slave camp is also extremely interesting, in response to that sentence, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, the slave camp is divided into three camps, the Rong slaves represented by Chunxiong, the slaves captured by the original Beihai border represented by Yu Yue, and the Mengdi slaves represented by the slaves.

Treat them, you don't need to be like the nobles, say too many twists and turns, they don't understand, and they don't want to listen to these, just work hard, the slaves are a little better, they have already eaten the dividends of slave rebirth, for Chunxiong who has hope in his heart, Yu Yue who still has honor in his heart, a simple survival problem can't satisfy the desires of these people.

"In the future, I plan to set up three new armies, and the other three will be responsible for this matter, and if there is a battle in the future, the prisoners will be handed over to Yinyue, the Rong people will be handed over to Chunxiong, and the slaves will be handed over to the slaves, and you will be able to discipline yourself."

The most daring Chunxiong immediately asked, "General, can we wait for the people?" ”

"Yes!"

The three of them were ecstatic, and even the slave whose eyes flickered and looked like a rat looked at Meng Wei with a gleam in his eyes.

"However, you need to follow the rules of my land."

"I have an agreement with you, the three armies of the new slaves can temporarily decree that those who go into battle will kill one person, cut off their left ear for one song, and each one will accumulate one point, and those who have three points can be slaves and be appointed as officials of the slave camp, and those who have five points can be given one acre of land and the position of one son of the family, and ten of them will be given three acres of land to give them a place of residence, and they will be given the position of the people, and their descendants can get rid of their slave status."

"Do you have any objections?"

The three people in the hall looked at each other, if they got 10,000 slaves, according to the general's calculation, they had to kill 100,000 enemy soldiers to get everyone out of slavery?

"My lord, we have no objection."

"But Chunxiong dares to ask, if we are promoted to the people, if we have military merits, can we be appointed officials? Can I get into the knighthood? ”

"Since you are a living citizen, you should treat everyone equally, and if you have military achievements, you can follow the old example."

In fact, Meng Wei really wanted to learn from the Qin State's system of military merit and promotion, but there are many things that need to be reformed at present, and there is a lack of supervisors who can follow up on these affairs, and all the conditions are not mature.

Step by step, it can pull slaves as daredevils, and killing ten people into one is already inciting the vested interests of other classes.

If it is directly promoted by military merit as the military system, the small Mengdi does not need other princes to criticize and write, and it will collapse internally.

Start with the slaves, let the other soldiers and armor soldiers see the benefits of being promoted to the knighthood, and then let them ask for their own reform.

It can not only weaken the degree of antipathy to slave alienation, but also provide an institutional reference for future wars.

As for this ten-point hierarchy, it is not easy for a slave to achieve, and only a score above five can be regarded as a real escape from slavery.

Being able to kill five people is enough to be called an extremely rare warrior in the army, this group of slaves, in fact, does not have such a high combat power, and does not want to be sent to death, so they can only be used carefully.

"Chunxiong/Yu Yue, thank you."

Only the slaves were a little disappointed, they used to be farmers, and they could be promoted if they helped to do something that the servant army could do, but now there is no such benefit, and the cowardly slaves at the beginning missed the opportunity to be promoted to the servant army, and I am afraid that they will never get the opportunity to be promoted.

Slaves who want to be promoted will naturally rush into the torrent desperately to do something for future generations, and slaves who have no motivation, Meng Wei doesn't need to fight too much for those people.

He's not a saint, he can't do everything.

After letting the three of them retreat, Meng Wei rubbed his eyebrows, relaxed his mind a little, and then asked Xin Ping.

"Tingshi's position, you really don't go?"

"The lord said that I laughed, I am just a horseman who has no strategy and can only wield guns and sticks in the military formation, and you have extremely high requirements for the courtiers, I see, except for yourself, I am afraid that no one will be able to achieve the reform of the rule of law over there that you described."

"Lord, with all due respect, are you in a hurry? There is no need to solve the reform at once, you have changed the official system, and changed the military system and slaves, this is already an extremely remarkable thing, any thing that looks at the world is deviant, and it is enough for you to leave a strong mark on the record of history, what are you anxious about? ”

Meng Wei didn't know, just dipped his fingers in the water, wrote a "Legalist" on the table, and sighed silently.

In the era when a hundred schools of thought contended, it would be great if it could be hundreds of years in advance.

At this time, Confucianism has not been formed, but there are already signs, the sages from the beginning of the Western Zhou Dynasty, has blown the land of Middle Earth, quite recognized by everyone, the way of the military family is also becoming more and more intense, but today's military theory is not too clear theory and core foundation, most of them are passed on by word of mouth, with experience.

Most of the art of war strategy is based on the specific way of fighting, equipment, marching, the one who proposed the soldier, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, the way of survival, Sun Wu who must not be ignored has not yet been born, the current way of the soldier is not worth mentioning in the eyes of Meng Wei, and there is no soldier who must not be ignored is not enough to be a soldier.

On the contrary, Meng Wei, who said these truths in advance, was highly respected by many young generals and was cited as the saint of soldiers.

It's really embarrassing, and I don't know how Sun Wu will feel in the future with his "Mencius Art of War".

"Many matters, if we do not take advantage of this convenience to lay the foundation, and wait until Mengdi gets bigger and bigger in the future to formulate, it will be too late, the smaller the system, the more convenient it is to change, and the bigger the system, the more problems and constraints need to be faced."

"These are all propositions that shake the foundation of the old system, and at this time, we are only facing a small number of princes in Beihai, if we wait until I take the entire Beihai, and even Beijiang."

"These problems are even more difficult, so this court must have our own people to do, at least, I want a buffer, to be able to stand in front of the stage to take over this matter, everything I can't come forward, he will solve it, Mengfa I will come out, but the implementation needs him to do."

Speaking of this, Meng Wei took out a roll of bamboo slips from his cuff and handed it to Xin Ping, Xin Ping forcibly held back the shocking words mentioned by Meng Wei, opened the bamboo slips, and looked at the content tremblingly.

"First, the privileges of the nobility in the legal code shall be abolished, and slaves shall not be killed privately, and all slaves shall be punished by the courtiers."

In the future, the whole article is: abolish the right of slave owners to punish slaves privately, abolish the right of towns to punish thieves, bandits, and injustices without telling them, and make various norms and explanations for all kinds of thieves, bandits, and encroachment on others, and formulate corresponding punishment mechanisms.

As well as clear seasonal regulations for the four seasons of rotation, logging, hunting beasts and other behaviors, which are cumbersome, it is called Xin Ping's scalp numb, where is the lord to let people go to be courtiers, this is simply to let people take a knife to dig those old roots.

Meng Wei looked at Xin Ping with an ugly face, and felt depressed in his heart, how could he not know the risks, this is just a simple law, if it is replaced by the scale of the law change of Li Kui, Wu Qi, and Shang Ying in later generations, it will be a big thing, and if the slave reform, official reform, and military reform in front are competing with those people for power distribution and resources.

Then the latter step has no military merit hierarchy and no centralized pure legal code, and has achieved a minimalist foreshadowing.

It is the abolition of this large amount of space in front of it, which has already made Xin Ping break out in a cold sweat and his heart beat faster, if he completely takes out the Shang Yang Reform, he will be against it in three days.

"Lord, this ...... Can these things really be realized? ”

"I don't know, so, I can't come forward, my coming forward means that this is my political opinion, if it causes turmoil, it will be a war that cannot be turned back, including the previous slave reform, I let the three slave camp masters do it, and I let Wu Cheng come forward to promote it with the Wu clan and the clans of various cities."

"Comment, I have no one available, it's a pity that Zou Wu is not here, but even if he is here, he will not run around for the law, honest and honest, Zhao Bing and Wu dare to be impulsive, and the Zhong brothers and others are those who stand on the opposite side of us."

"Are you afraid of death?"

Xin Ping smiled.

"You laughed, the general once asked me if I would like to die with you, the snow is falling, and the evaluation will follow; The lone army went deep and followed, why is it so light now? ”

After that, Xin Ping solemnly knelt down and looked at the monarch in front of him like a brother, and said calmly: "Xin Ping thanked the general, and gave him the credit of leaving a name in history and passing on the credit for a hundred generations." ”

If in addition to his family, Xin Ping and Lian Yong, as well as Zhao Bing, for him, they are like brothers, especially the first two, even if they are generals, they always like to be on duty outside his camp gate, when he falls asleep, the two will be tired and go back to rest, he gets up, and the two will come to him tacitly.

Now that Lian Yong has served as Lang Zhongling, Xin Ping is also about to go to Ren Tingshi to do those dangerous things.

"Taste, on behalf of the people, thank Xin Tingshi for his righteousness!"

After speaking, Meng Wei also knelt on the ground and thanked Xin Ping.

"Hahaha, fortunately, it's already an honor to be able to do a righteous thing for a thousand years, and I need the general to worship me? I just don't know if future generations will be able to judge me as a rough person, how will they judge him? ”

Well, one of the main themes of this book points out, maybe book friends who want to read the bloody river will find these chapters unpleasant, but this is also a kind of fun, isn't it, everyone is killing and killing all the way, and there are always people who need to solve some problems at the root. I hope you won't be disgusted that my writing is too rough.
