"Since ancient times, the king of Zhongxing, can you taste the wise man and gentleman who rules the world with him?"

"Yi Yin is a slave, but he can be a minister in the wilderness, if he must be a cheap man and then available, then how can he rule the world with soup!

"Meritocracy is a move, and big business can use it!"

Dozens of guards with large shoulders and round waists wandered around the castle, shouting the meritocracy decree issued by the King of Xuan and the order of the Great Wall slave requisition.

Meritocracy is easy to understand, and the king cited the example of the sage Yi Yin, showing that the slaves of the ministers can also rule the world for the officials, as long as they are talented, whether you are a cook, a farmer or a vegetable seller, you can enter the court as an official.

These were as early as when the king and Yun Zhongzi were debating in the court, and at that time, the king said that regardless of the background of the heel, the heart of the heart should be discussed.

And the conscription of slaves to build the Great Wall is somewhat intriguing.

The first is to forcibly requisition, and every noble family with slaves will be transferred to the frontier to build the Great Wall.

The second is the fugitive slaves, the slaves will flee when they are oppressed, and there are fugitive slaves every day, and once these fugitive slaves are caught, they will inevitably die, and they will die after being abused in various ways.

However, the requisition order said that even if it was a fugitive slave, as long as he was willing to go to the north to build the Great Wall, he could avoid death.

Ji Chang also heard it, and his heart tightened at first.

He was also a man who fought all night, and just thinking about it, he figured out the magic of the Great Wall, and the king of Xuan was able to predict the prophet, predicting that he was befriending the tribes of the Northern Regions, and wanted to use the Great Wall to resist the invasion.

Then I thought about it and couldn't help laughing.

The place in the north is cold and barren, and the risk of building the Great Wall is extremely high.

In order to reduce the resentment of the people, the king deliberately used prisoners of war and slaves, although these people have no human rights, but what if these people die?

The people must be recruited, and that is when the heavens are angry and the people are resentful.

Moreover, will the slaves and prisoners of war be willing to die in the northern frontier? One by one, they complain in their hearts, and as long as they are provoked by someone who cares, there will be an additional rebel army in the northern Xinjiang that can drive down for a long time.

What's more, forcibly requisitioning slaves is provoking princes from all walks of life!

Slaves are the private property of nobles, so why should they use their own things to build the Great Wall of the Great Shang?

It's nothing to call in fugitives, these people are dead everywhere anyway.

Ji Chang had a plan, not only would he not give up contact with the northern tribes, but also speed up the establishment of diplomatic relations, so that they could quickly go south to plunder the Great Shang, so that the king of Xuan would be more urgent, accelerate the construction of the Great Wall, and have to requisition the people or ask the princes for more slaves, and the contradictions will become increasingly intensified.

In addition, Ji Chang has more countermeasures, there is no Great Wall in the east, Dongyi is available, there is no Great Wall in the south, Baiyue can also be used, and the big business has lost the people's hearts under the successive battles, Xiqi only needs to raise his arms and shout, and great things can be done.

.....

Bigan also heard these two edicts.

Originally, he was very smart and had a delicate heart, but now that he has a heart, his chest is hollow, and he is even smarter when he returns to the truth when he returns to the basics.

In an instant, he understood the intention of the king.

The two edicts cannot be read separately, but must be combined.

Slaves who build the Great Wall will die, but they will also make meritorious contributions.

According to the meritocracy order, regardless of origin, as long as the slave has made meritorious service and proved that he is capable, he can definitely be removed from the slave status and obtain an official position.

This is a signal that the king wants to reuse slaves!

At first, Bigan refused, and the reuse of slaves was tantamount to making enemies of the princes and nobles.

But he couldn't.

The king is so generous that he has committed the crime of rebellion, but there is no news so far, and people still think that he is still the respected old uncle Wang, Abhigan.

Therefore, even if he knew that the king was wrong and contrary to the general trend, he had to help him, Ziqi did not let the king wake up, he could only follow the mistake and make the mistake.

Since the king was determined to reform, he wanted to stand against the princes and nobles, and he had to win over the slaves and the common class.

Genius is a weightlifting slave, imminent!

Bigan immediately rushed back to Zhuangzi, he was the largest slave owner of the Great Shang, and there were many more slaves in the village than the Northern Bohou and the Eastern Bohou.

Without saying a word, he separated two-thirds of the strong slaves and went to the Zhaoxian Pavilion in batches.

The Zhaoxian Hall is a place where meritocracy is ordered to collect talents, which is in charge of Fei Zhong, and it is also a transit station for requisitioning and transporting slaves.

It took three days to divide the slaves into batches, which shows how many slaves there were.

After this, Bigan fell into deep thought.

What else can help the king but slaves?

Thinking of the shouts of the guards, he realized.

The wisdom of the unity of the seven knots made him realize that what Dashang needs now is something that can carry words.

It is lighter than bamboo, easier to obtain than tortoise shell, and cheaper than silk.

In this way, the message can be transmitted quickly, and there is no need for the guards to shout, just pass this thing to the literate officials, and it can be spread all over the world.

If the king wants to win the support of the people, this thing is necessary, and the people are the group that is most likely to listen to rumors.

......

Wu Wenhua is a fugitive slave.

When he escaped from his master's house, he was only one and a half meters tall.

He did not dare to enter the city, only lived in the mountains and wilderness, but fortunately, he was born with divine powers, hunting in the mountains and forests all day long, feeding on jackals and tigers and leopards.

He grew taller and taller, and became more and more burly, and now he is four meters tall, and he has a tendency to continue to grow taller.

The power can travel on land and uproot thousand-year-old trees.

But Wu Wenhua still didn't dare to enter the city, even if the defenders in the city chased him, it was impossible to catch him, and he didn't dare to enter the city.

I was scared of being beaten.

He still can't forget that his mother fell into the pigsty because she fell and was beaten to death by her owner for disrespecting the livestock.

Because my father stepped on weeds while doing coolies, the owner stuffed his mouth and nose with withered grass on the grounds of disrespecting flowers and plants, and suffocated to death.

Slaves are such a lowly person, not as good as animals, not even as good as flowers and plants.

The aristocracy even took pleasure in mistreating slaves.

Of course, there are slave owners who are slightly better at slaves than Gan, but they can't change the facts, slaves are the lowest group that can be condemned to life and death, and they will not break the law by all means.

Wu Wenhua overheard the rumors of meritocracy and the conscription of slaves to build the Great Wall.

He is the same as the name, he has no culture, but he probably understands the meaning, as long as he goes to the north to build the Great Wall, he does not need to continue to be a fugitive slave.

Even if the northern Xinjiang is very cold, rarely eats, and is easy to die, he doesn't want to be a slave anymore.

No more.

Wu Wenhua wants to be a person, a real person.

A person who can straighten his four-meter body and stand tall.

.........

Zishou is considering a large-scale construction project, and there is still some time before the prisoners of war are sent to northern Xinjiang, and the labor is not in vain.

The rebels set fire to the palace and demolished a bunch of pillars themselves, just in time for the opportunity to renovate the palace and waste it extravagantly.

"West Park Natatorium, Wine Pond Meat Forest, Star Picking Building, Afang Palace ....."
