Di Xin had planned to let Wen Zhong come back after he pacified Yuan Futong, but Wen Zhong insisted on staying in Beihai for a few more years.

Although Yuan Futong had been pacified, Beihai was geographically remote and far away from Wangji, and the princes of the Seventy-two Routes were still ready to move.

For individual princes, the strength may not be so strong, but if they are united by people with ulterior motives, they will twist into an extremely powerful force.

If anything happens again, it will only continue to deplete the national strength of Dashang.

On the contrary, it is not beautiful, so Wen Zhong wants to never suffer in the future and let Beihai completely surrender to the big merchants.

Wen Zhong spent three years in Beihai, and his achievements were outstanding, greatly reducing the power of the princes of the Seventy-two Routes, and firmly controlling Beihai in his hands.

In addition, it also controls dozens of iron mountains, copper mountains, and mines in Beihai, and continuously delivers massive resources to big merchants.

At the gate of Chaoge City, Emperor Xin led hundreds of civil and military officials to greet Taishi Wenzhong, and at the wide gate of the city, a steady stream of elite merchants entered Chaoge.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Di Xin saw Taishi Wen Zhong's exclusive mount, the Mo Qilin.

Mo Qilin also seemed to sense the strong humane luck emanating from Di Xin's body, and stepped out of his four hooves and came to him with joy.

Wen Zhong saw that Di Xin led all the civil and military officials to greet him, and he couldn't close his mouth in surprise, and hurriedly got off the ink unicorn to meet Di Xin.

"The old minister Wen Zhong, meet the king, Wen Zhong He De how can he be, the king personally went out of the city to greet him, and he really tormented the old minister."

Di Xin smiled and helped Wen Zhong up, "Taishi worked tirelessly, went on an expedition to Beihai, defeated the thief Yuan Futong, and then worked hard for three years, bringing heaven and wealth to my big businessman, and it was only natural to go out of the city to greet him." ”

Di Xin led the civil and military officials into the Song City, and then immediately announced that Zhong had come to the Longde Hall to discuss matters.

On the Longde Palace, although it is empty, the candles burning in the hall illuminate the entire Longde Hall as bright as day.

After Wen Taishi washed, he changed from a military uniform to a court uniform, holding a few thick books, slowly walked from the gate, saw Di Xin, bowed and saluted, "Minister Wen Zhong, meet the king." ”

"Master, please get up quickly."

Di Xin said with a smile, then looked at the back of the screen with a solemn expression, "Come on, don't you give the Taishi a seat soon." ”

Behind the screen, a royal attendant hurriedly walked out, brought a Taishi chair, and then quickly retreated to Di Xin's side to serve.

"Your lord, these are the iron mountains, copper mountains, and mines found in Beihai on the old minister's expedition to Beihai, how many in total, how much the annual output, and how much can be transported to the big merchants every year, all of which are vivid, and please check the king."

The attendant took the account books from Wen Zhong and handed them to Di Xin, who looked through them at will, in fact, Wen Zhong had reported to him many times in the past three years.

This time it was a general summary, but even so, Di Xin couldn't help but be thrilled when he saw these numbers.

With so many mineral resources, it is enough for him to be a big businessman, and everyone is dressed in full armor.

It is enough to give him a big business and create an invincible team in the world.

Putting the account books aside, Di Xin smiled and got to the point, "Actually, the reason why I am in such a hurry to summon the Taishi this time is that in addition to wanting to see the Taishi's harvest in Beihai, there is another important matter I want to discuss with the Taishi. ”

"The old minister listens to you."

Wen Zhong also seemed to have expected it, arching his hand, looking like he was listening.

Di Xin said seriously, "After the founding of the Tang ancestors, every Shang king has wantonly divided the princes, and by the time of the emperor Yi Xianwang, there were already eight hundred town princes in the world, with strong soldiers and horses, and sufficient strength, which caused a serious threat to the rule of my great Shang. ”

"Oh? Dare to ask the king, what is the way? ”

Wen Zhong became interested, and hurriedly asked, the princes' tails are not falling, in fact, when the previous king was in power, it had already shown a trend.

And the previous emperor Yi has developed the trend of the tail to the extreme.

The four great princes of the east, west, north and south each ruled over the princes of two hundred towns, and their strength climbed to the peak, and they were the kings of the princes.

Even at the end of Emperor Yi, it was no longer possible to fully control the situation.

That is, after Di Xin succeeded to the throne, he was brilliant and strategic, invented the method of quyuan plow, refined sugar, refined salt, and refined iron ore, and the great Shang gradually suppressed the four princes.

Over the years, Wen Zhong has also tried to think of many methods, but without exception, there is basically no effect.

Di Xin gestured slightly, and the attendant beside him came to Wen Zhong with a blank piece of paper and handed it to Wen Zhong.

Wen Zhong took the white paper, his eyes swept slightly, but his face instantly became extremely serious.

Keeping his eyes on it, nothing else from the outside world could interfere with him.

A full quarter of an hour passed, and Wen Zhong woke up like a dream, obviously just holding a fluttering piece of paper in his hand, but it seemed to be holding a Wanjun mountain, and his whole arm was trembling.

The Tui En Order, as the name suggests, involves the inheritance of the princes, since the time when the ancestors Chengtang established the Great Shang.

The whole Dashang implements the primogeniture inheritance system, and the eldest son, in the face of inheriting the inheritance, is born with the advantage of the legal system.

After the death of the first king, the eldest son of the first king succeeded to the throne of the king, and the other sons of the king were made princes.

After the death of the princes and kings, the eldest son inherits the feudal kingdom of the princes, the king's title, and the rest of the heirs can only divide some property, houses, shops, etc., and there is naturally no problem with being rich and noble.

But if you want to get the same rights as princes and kings, don't even think about it.

For example, the first king Emperor Yi had three sons, although Di Xin was the youngest son, he was Di Yi's son-in-law, and Wei Ziqi and Wei Ziyan were concubines, unless Di Xin was no longer there, the throne of the human king could fall on them.

And this push order, the magic is wonderful, breaking the rules of the ancestors of Chengtang since the founding of the country, the heirs of the princes and kings, in addition to the eldest son to inherit the title and seal the country, the rest of the concubines can also divide a part of the territory, property, called the liehous.

No matter how powerful the princes and kings are, after the reform of this Tui En Order.

In three or two generations, it will also become fragmented, and it will no longer be able to pose a threat to big businessmen.

Of course, it was not here that made Wen Zhong amazed, but this edict of grace directly pushed all the concubines under the command of the princes and kings except for the eldest son to the camp of the great merchants.

Human nature is evil, as long as the edict is announced, even if the four princes and kings do not want to implement it, the concubines below them will do their best to fight for their own interests.

So they stand on the opposite side of their father and keep doing things.

Why are they all father's sons, with two arms and two legs, why should you inherit all your father's property?

No matter how powerful the means of the princes and kings are, they can't suppress them, and they will be brothers, and over time, no matter how big the princes and kings are, they can't bear it.

This kind of conspiracy is rare in the world, and it simply amazes Wen Zhong.
