Volume 1 Chunming Chapter 44 The Two Kings of Jingwu
Wei Chi was puzzled, he didn't understand why Wei Zhenyuan sighed, and asked curiously: "Isn't it good, the people live in peace, the country and the people are safe, why are you still sighing?" ”
"That's what King Jing looked like under the rule, but now that King Jing's eldest son Du Jincen has succeeded to the throne, everything has changed."
Wei Chi was a little surprised, "Could it be that my son is against my father's regime?" ”
Wei Zhenyuan shook his head, "The first thing Du Jincen did when he came to power was to abolish the tone of Huang Lao's technique set by his father before, re-exercise the technique of legalism, and revise the tax decree, changing a series of decrees formulated by his father, the most important of which is the measure of tax economy. ”
"Under the rule of King Jing, in order to allow the people to recuperate, the tax was reduced to thirty taxes and one, and at the same time, the calculation and oral taxes were also exempted, so that the people could quickly recover from the years of war, King Jing was very frugal in his life, never built gardens, palaces, and hundreds of officials were the same, and at the same time recruited wise men, as long as they were able to cultivate both ability and political integrity, they could get an official and a half position in the court, King Jing Dynasty, the national strength of the Xia State reached its peak, the people were rich, and the treasury was full."
Wei Chi continued to ask, "What about the monks?" Do you know that when today's monks determine the trend of the world to a certain extent, King Jing doesn't have any measures against monks? You must know that these monks are all entangled in thousands of treasures, and any natural treasures are worth tens of millions of gold, even if they are not very attached to heavenly treasures like Wufu, the coins spent on the cultivation are enough to withstand ordinary people's families not eating or drinking for several lifetimes. ”
Wei Zhenyuan said with a smile: "King Jing naturally took this factor into account, and King Jing's measures can be described as quite smart, he skillfully took advantage of the fact that the door sites of the major sects need to be selected in a piece of Feng Shui treasure land with superior aura, and through the mountain and river gods of the three sects, these lands are firmly controlled in their own hands, and if these sects want to arrange the sect addresses in these places, they need to pay a certain amount of spirit stones or heavenly treasures, if they don't want to pay, they can also be supervised, these sects are supervised by officials sent by the imperial court, At the same time, it was also ordered that the monks of these sects were not allowed to enter the court as officials. Of course, for the sects that have paid taxes, King Jing naturally did not treat them badly, and every year the imperial court selects the cultivation seedlings with good talents from all over the country and sends them into the sect, so that these sects can avoid missing some good seedlings when they collect disciples in the spring and autumn of each year, and at the same time, all the money and expenses consumed by the cultivation of these seedlings are borne by the imperial court. ”
Wei Chi said in amazement: "A good trick to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle fundamentally solves the problem of whether monks need to pay taxes, and at the same time, in the future, they can also harvest a large number of monks who serve the imperial court, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone." ”
Wei Zhenyuan nodded and praised: "Therefore, the people of later generations have a very high evaluation of King Jing, and even ranked him at the head of the kings of the Xia Kingdom. ”
A touch of clouds swept across the horizon, the color is like a neon dress and feather coat, it is extremely gorgeous, the glow is ten thousand ways, reflecting the dome, tumbling like a dragon, surging thousands of weather, just like a fairyland.
Wei Zhenyuan looked up at the clouds in the distance, and said with some regret: "It's a pity that King Jing's longevity was not long, and he died after only three hundred years of reign, which is a short life for any king." King Jing insisted on going to court in person every day, and he also reviewed the folds, which caused his cultivation to never improve, and until the last moment of his life, he only had Yuanying cultivation. After the death of King Jing, hundreds of ancestral temples were established in various counties and counties of the Xia Kingdom within a hundred years to pay tribute to King Jing in turn, and he was posthumously named "Xiaojing" after his death. ”
Throughout King Jing's life, he can afford the nickname of "filial piety"!
There are clouds: from righteousness to the scenery; The elderly are worried about the scene; Bu Yi Xing just said the scene; Zhizhi big picture said the scene; Righteousness becomes a scene; Virtue can be looked up to; The law is righteous and the scenery is said to be together; Mingzhao next to the Zhou said the scene.
Wei Chi couldn't help but sigh, "The model of Mingjun should be like this!" ”
Wei Zhenyuan couldn't help but sigh when he said this, "Soon after King Jing's death, his only eldest son, Du Jincen, succeeded to the throne, which is now King Xia Wu. ”
Wei Chi was surprised: "The only? What about the other princes? Could it be that King Chengjing only has one princess? ”
There is naturally a reason why Wei Chi is so surprised, the kings and concubines of the harem of all dynasties do not say that there are three thousand beauties, but at least there are always a few, not that these kings are all hungry ghosts, some are forced to continue the bloodline, and some are mixed with political factors.
Wei Zhenyuan nodded, and said leisurely: "King Jing has only married one princess in his life, and this princess is named Concubine Dou, that is, the mother concubine of Martial King Du Jincen. It's a pity that this Concubine Dou died not long after King Wu was born, so King Jing has doted on him since he was a child, not responsible for small mistakes, and not punished for big mistakes, which also led to King Wu making trouble every day when he was young, and tossed the entire Gyeonggi area, killing the Hao Yu on the mountain today, and slaughtering the black bear over there tomorrow, it can be described as energetic, and King Wu also likes to go into the mountains alone to hunt, and the guards around him are not allowed to go into the mountains to hunt with him, and every time King Wu enters the mountains to hunt, the ministers around him are terrified, They all put their heads on the waistband of their trousers, for fear that something would happen to King Wu accidentally, but King Wu returned with a full load every time, and he himself just enjoyed a hunting process, and the spirit meat of those spirit beasts was distributed by him, distributed to the people nearby, if there was any leftover, it was distributed to the guards and generals around him, and over time, the people nearby also knew that it was King Jing's eldest son who often went into the mountains to hunt. Like a blazing sun, it burned and radiated around him. ”
In fact, Wei Zhenyuan also ignored one point, King Wu's series of seemingly absurd behaviors are based on his strong self-confidence and strength, King Wu has shown a strong cultivation talent since he was a child, he has five realms of cultivation at the age of only eleven or twelve, and at the age of fourteen, he is already the leader of the younger generation, which is also a top cultivation genius among the major sects, it can be said that it is the extremely rare cultivation talent of King Wu that can create the magnificent cause he plans in the future.
Wei Chi sighed: "Jin Lin is not a thing in the pool, this martial king has shown a different demeanor from the princes of ordinary emperors since he was a child, and the princes of other families are either dogs and horses every day, or they are drunk with gold, and they are a piece of material for doing great things." ”
Wei Zhenyuan changed his words again, "It's okay if it's just energetic, this martial king has a preference, he likes to smash talismans into the princes' homes in the middle of the night, and destroy the princes' palace protection formation, and then run away, although this kind of talisman will only play a role in destroying the formation and can't hurt people, but Shen Geng can't help but be disturbed by such a shock in the middle of the night, so the court has a letter every day to ask the precious son of King Jing to call back to the palace, and they are old ministers who are old and old bones and legs can't stand the toss. ”
