In the Qi Imperial Palace, Ye Qi withdrew his magic eye, and he would not pay attention to everything in the nether realm for the time being, because there is a more difficult problem at present, that is, in the west of the flood wilderness, that is, around the realm of the Western Sect, the void is trembling, and that trembling is a signal that the wall of the world is in contact, and it is necessary for him to investigate.

Thinking about Ye Qi, he didn't say much, and directly set up the retreat and turned into a stream of fireflies and went straight to the incident point.

"The Ye Palace Master also noticed it?"

"Aren't you aware of it?"

Zhun Ti smiled: "This seat is naturally the first to notice it in the West, and Daoist friends who are far away from the sky are also aware of it so quickly."

Ye Qi glanced at Zhun Ti: "Daoyou is wrongly praised, I don't know what you think about this change?"

Listening to Ye Qi's words, Zhun Ti looked at the trembling void in front of him and shook his head: "There is an unknown power on the wall of this void realm, but this power does not belong to the desolate world. What's the matter? Daoist friends want to go in and take a look?"

"Aren't you going to take a look?" Ye Qi asked rhetorically.

Zhun Ti shook his head: "Unlike Daoyou, we and other saints are also limited to Tianqi Shou, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the flood is a cage for us." ”

Ye Qi nodded, Zhun Ti did not lie, it is true that you are a saint in the desolate world, so you naturally have to accept the restrictions from the desolate world, otherwise, the energy will become less and less, and there will be a day of the end of the world in this desolate world.

"Since this is the case, this seat will take the first step" After saying that, Ye Qi stepped out and broke through the wall of the world and disappeared.

......

He Di Xin wanted to work hard for the strength of the Shang Dynasty, and at this time, Xibohou Jichang, who was far away in Xiqi's mansion, was the leader of the two hundred towns of the Great Shang Dynasty, and the famous Xibohou Jichang was discussing some shady things with one person.

"My surname Ji originates from the great-grandson of the Yellow Emperor, one of the five emperors, the blood is extremely noble, I don't want to, but I can only exist as an auxiliary minister of the Shang Dynasty, my ancestors for several generations have all worked hard to overthrow Yin Shang and become the Son of Heaven. ”“

"Over the years, Dongyi and Nanban have been constantly in turmoil, I thought that my Ji family's opportunity had come, but I didn't expect that Di Xin was a man of great talent, and quickly put down the rebellion, and Yin Shang is now Wen Shangrong, Bigan and others, Wu You, Huang Feihu and other people, my Ji family's uncle doesn't know when he will succeed. ”

"My son doesn't have to worry about my Xiqi United, sooner or later he will get the opportunity to overthrow Yin Shang and establish the Great Zhou. At this time, it is not the best time to strengthen the soldiers and strengthen the people. There is also the father of the queen of the main palace, Dongbohou Jiang Huan, Chubei Bohou Chonghou Hu as his wings, and I Xiqi is not an opponent for the time being. ”

The voice paused for a moment and continued: "What I need to do now in Xiqi is to recuperate, recruit talents, train the army, and when the time comes, I will raise troops against business."

"But the child's age is not too young, that Di Xin is also a wise lord, in my lifetime, I am afraid that I will not see that the Western Zhou swept the world and became the co-lord of the world." ”

"The child is so confused! One generation does not succeed, and the next generation waits for the next generation, my Ji clan has been waiting for such a long time, I don't care, wait a little longer, I don't believe that Yin Shang, every generation of monarchs is a virtuous person. ”

"Mother is right, he Yin Shang is in the Ming, I am in the Western Zhou in the dark, I will find an opportunity to overthrow the Yin Shang and establish the Great Zhou, I in the Western Zhou Dynasty now needs the hearts of the people and talents, children, I will go to the list to recruit sages, as long as they are talented, I will make an exception. After saying that, he walked out of the room and went to the list.

And there was only one resolute old woman left in the room, only to hear the old woman mutter: "Only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves, you Yin Shang is indeed a great family, but I can't help it, the Western Zhou Dynasty has slowly penetrated in a hundred years, as long as we make unremitting efforts, we will definitely overthrow your Yin Shang and establish the Great Zhou." “

After saying that, the old woman also walked out of the house, and the moment she walked out of the house, the old woman immediately became serene and kind, like the aunt next door, which made people feel close. It is the mother of King Wen who is famous in later generations, Taijiang, Taiji, and Taijiang, the mother of King Wen. Hehe, but who knows that this famous sage, mother and son, are really rebellious ministers and thieves with bad intentions.

But said that Ji Chang recruited talents after hearing the words of his mother Taijiang, claiming that as long as he had a skill, he could come, even if the Western Zhou Dynasty did not hire him, he would give gold and silver and leave.

At one time, the name of Xibo's good talent spread to the four seas, and there were countless people who went to Xiqi to enlist, although most of them were incompetent, but there were also some talented people who had not been reused in their own country, such as Boyi, Shuqi, Taidian, Hongyao, Sanyisheng, Manxiong, Xinjia, Xinfu, etc., all of whom were talented people, but they were bewitched by Xibo and put into the Western Zhou account.

Ji Chang asked everyone about the strategy of governing the country, and he said: "Governing the country is just governing the people, the so-called "people are the foundation of the state, and the state is solid", as long as the people are governed, the country is naturally peaceful. Therefore, according to the minister's opinion, as long as the small people are protected, it is easy to govern the country. ”

When Ji Chang heard this, he asked, "Then how do you protect the little people?"

San Yisheng replied: "The minister's family has been poor since he was a child, and when he was young, he only wanted to be able to eat enough every day, and he could have a new dress to wear every few years, so he lived by himself, and the minister thought that the people in this world should be about the same, right?"

"What do you mean?"

"Weichen means to reduce taxes, so that the small people can recuperate, and when the small people can eat enough, naturally no one will go to be a traitor, and the rule of the department master will naturally be peaceful. ”

"Then according to the Qing family, how much should this tax be?"

Wechen believes that the policy of "ninety-one and help" should be adopted, that is, the fields should be divided, and those who have no land and those with little land can help cultivate the public land, and pay one-ninth of the tax. ”

"Is this too little?" Ji Chang thought that he still had to recruit troops to collect such a small amount of taxes, and he was afraid that it would not be enough, so although he knew that what he said was reasonable, he still hesitated a little.

Weichen felt that it was already a lot, even if he paid one-ninth of the tax, it was enough for the lord, the palace and officials, and in doing so, it could also show the benevolence of the lord among all the people in the world. ”

At this time, Ji Chang was attracted by Sanyisheng's sentence of showing benevolence, thinking that he wanted to start something in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the important thing was to win the hearts of the people and collect the tax of Jiuyi, although it slowed down the expansion of his army, but compared to gaining the hearts of the people, this loss was nothing. And the wealth that his family has accumulated over several generations should be able to support the money needed for the expansion of the army.

Thinking of this, Ji Chang said: "What the Qing family said is very true, so leave this matter to the Qing family." After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the main hall, went to the back of the hall to find his mother Taijiang to discuss the matter.

When San Yisheng and the others heard that Ji Chang really agreed to this matter, they couldn't help but be overjoyed, thinking that they and the others had indeed found a master who thought about the people, but they didn't know that Ji Chang was moved by San Yisheng's last sentence to show benevolence to all people in the world.

And San Yisheng hurried home after saying goodbye to the ministers.

When Ji Chang returned to the harem, he went to his mother Tai Jiang to inform Tai Jiang of what Tai Jiang Sanyi had played.

Tai Jiang said when he heard this: "My son has done an excellent job in this matter, and I have accumulated a lot of money and materials in the Western Zhou Dynasty, which is enough to support the recruitment of soldiers. As long as the name of my son's benevolence can be proclaimed, it is worth collecting less taxes. This San Yisheng is also a talent, you must reuse it. ”

Ji Chang said: "I know." ”

However, it was said that since San Yisheng got Ji Changken and began to adopt the policy of "91 and help", he began to operate day and night, and he was busy turning the pages and not taking care of food, almost not occupying two feet. When the people heard that Xibo was implementing the policy of "helping on September 1st", they all shouted that Xibo was merciful, and many people from other countries poured into Xiqi.

A year later, due to the enthusiasm of the people, and the influx of laborers from other countries, the taxes collected by Xizhou this year not only did not decrease, but increased slightly, Ji Chang was overjoyed when he heard the news, and thought of doing so, not only increased his benevolence, but also the taxes have not been reduced. It also attracted many people from other countries, inadvertently strengthened his own strength, weakened the strength of Yin Shang, and immediately promoted Yisheng to the doctor and the hundred officials.

Xibohou Ji Chang reduced the people's taxes, and after passing on the songs, Emperor Xin greatly appreciated it, and issued an edict calling it an example for the princes of the world, so that all the princes of the world could learn from Ji Chang. After Ji Chang received the edict, he laughed more than once, and his subordinates thought that the Lord was happy to be praised by the Son of Heaven.

But he didn't know that Ji Chang was happy that he had taken another step forward in his great cause. Because in this way, his prestige among the princes will be higher, and he will encounter less resistance when replacing Yin Shang in the future.

Moreover, when Di Xin saw that he collected less taxes, he would definitely think that the army under him was very small, and it would be beneficial for him to conceal his strength, and he would believe more in what he could do.

Just one thing to reduce taxes, but let him get so many benefits, how could Ji Chang not be happy. Moreover, the envoy of Emperor Xin was in front of him, and he expressed his joy, and the messenger would definitely send back the song to the Ming Emperor Xin, and Emperor Xin would hear that he had received his appreciation, so happy that he would think that he was a great loyal minister, and he would be more at ease with himself.

I can't help but say that Ji Chang is indeed treacherous, such a simple thing is just to get Di Xin's appreciation, but also to maximize the benefits, it is indeed extremely shameless and extremely treacherous.
