Time flies, the Great Shang Dynasty has spent a five-year period of peace, there is no major event, and there is no rebellion of the princes, every year the Great Dynasty will be the same court, but although it has been quiet for five years, the development of the court song is extremely fast.

And Sun Ming has also reached the age of twelve, much taller than his peers, and is now sitting in the apse of the council hall, sitting with Prime Minister Shang Rong, Wang Shu Bigan, and Taishi Wen Zhong, looking back on the development of the past five years.

"King Qiqi, today's latest statistics show that within the control of Chaoge, including the fiefdoms of the princes of the Seventy-two Roads, there are five million people, and newborn babies account for one-fifth of the number, and they can become Ding after ten years. Shang Rong said first.

Sun Ming estimated it, it is indeed a lot, even if there are 300,000 troops now, it is more than enough, but now so many additional troops may cause the reaction of the princes, but the increase in troops is inevitable, and Chaoge's army is somewhat insufficient. Among them, there are also some veterans who need to be retired, so they need to increase the number of troops by about 120,000, and the number of Chaoge's army reaches 200,000.

Thinking of this, Sun Ming looked at Wen Zhong, "Taishi, how is the army's weapon replacement?"

"King Qiqi, the steel weapon is strong, lightweight, and tough, and the armor has been changed, but when can the Three Treasures of War Horses be used? There are now 50,000 war horses, and some of them often damage their hooves. "Wen Zhong has always been obsessed with cavalry.

"Almost, the number of retired soldiers is insufficient, and then the number of 100,000 is increased, now Chaoge's actual control range is already very large, the number of troops is insufficient, and the expansion of 100,000 troops is also being cleaned up, and the cavalry must pay attention to secrecy and secret training. Sun Ming thought for a while and said. In fact, he can now let go of the development of cavalry, it is basically impossible for the princes to form cavalry, the three treasures of war horses need iron and leather, and it is not so easy to manufacture, and it is even more difficult to gather a large number of horses.

Sun Ming looked at Uncle Wang Bigan again, "Uncle Wang, how is the development of the Heavenly Crafts Academy now?

"King Qiyu, the glass is now mature, but whether it is transparent or colored, there is already a mature process, especially the transparent glass, which is plated with mercury, is the light that can shine on people. In addition, installing pulleys on crossbows and bows can be labor-saving and can increase power, but the cost is quite high. ”

"It doesn't matter, now the mall can be said to be making money every day, and Chaoge is rich in finance and taxes, making every effort to make it, and forming a big business arrow array. ”

The mall took a year to complete, then decorated and furnished, and Sun Ming began to attract investment. First of all, the royal caravan in charge of Wang Shubigan once again occupied a few shops, Sun Ming has been putting in some goods over the years, and at the same time the restaurant has also opened, and the restaurant is five stories high, the higher the price, even if the dishes are the same, but the people's hearts are like this, everyone wants to sit on the top floor to eat.

Then the caravans of the princes from all walks of life came, rented shops and began to sell special products from all over the world, and the mall was very prosperous for a while, and the specialties from all over the world gathered here, which was dazzling, and a large number of crazy purchases made the tax of Chaoge full. However, after that, it continued to decline, and slowly returned to normal, although it was not crazy at the beginning, but it was still a treasure land for daily progress.

The caravans of the princes got benefits here, saving distances and manpower, so that even if the tax was a little more, it was a big profit, but the transaction needed money, no longer in the form of barter, and Sun Ming introduced gold and silver ingots at this time for large transactions, and the people of Chaoge used copper coins to buy retail goods, which was very rich for life.

At the same time, because of the increase in land, especially the 20 acres of land per capita, coupled with the abundance of the aura of the flood and famine, the harvest scene every year made the peasants relatively rich, and Sun Ming purchased a large amount of grain for hoarding and selling, and some princes were also willing to come to Chaoge to purchase grain, instead of buying from the princes in various places as in the past. The fiefdoms of the princes of the Seventy-two Roads have now established seventy-two counties, and the administrators are county orders and are responsible for the management of civil affairs.

"Prime Minister, how is the grain stored?" asked Sun Ming.

"King, the grain is stored every year to save the new and remove the old, which has always ensured the abundance of the Chaoge granary, but if it goes on like this, sooner or later there will be too much food. "It's also a problem to have a lot of food, after all, these grains need to be purchased at the expense of the imperial court.

"Adjust this year's planting, each household must set aside land to plant some other crops, such as fruits and vegetables, the people's food is still too single, and the price of food is getting lower and lower, so they can't make any money, this can be enforced, they will naturally see the benefits after a year, but grain planting is still the focus, can not be planted in order to make money, this point officials around the country must grasp a little, per capita 20 acres of land, half of which must be planted with grain. ”

"Understood, King. ”

"Uncle Wang, the glass can be put on the market, the mirror is the key, but don't come out too much at once, and if you want to promote it, you can replace all the houses in the mall with transparent glass first, so that they will naturally see the benefits." ”

"Yes. ”

"Taishi, after the army's equipment is replaced, the military formation will start immediately, according to our design, the military formation drill, the training of new recruits must be completed as soon as possible, the cavalry and arrow formation are killer weapons, and the infantry phalanx cannot be ignored. ”

"Yes, my lord. ”

"Well, then go and get busy. Sun Ming has always believed that professionalism should be handed over to professional people to do, and he is responsible for the general direction, but some things still have to be guaranteed, such as military power, financial power, and personnel rights are all in his own hands, so as to ensure that there are no problems.

In the past five years, not only has Chaoge developed, but Sun Ming's own cultivation has also made rapid progress, going to Lingyun Island once a year for a few days of cultivation, and usually in Chaoge is to stabilize his cultivation.

Five years have allowed Sun Ming's cultivation to come to the realm of the Golden Immortal, before this year's Great Dynasty Meeting, Sun Ming needs to go to Lingyun Island to impact the Taiyi realm, and at the same time, the nine turns of Yuan Gong have been turned five times, and the hardships are not enough for outsiders.

Seeing off the three ministers, Sun Ming came to the harem again to see the Queen Mother, "How is the queen mother?"

"Wang Er doesn't need to worry, everything is fine with my mother, you have grown up slowly, you are also handy in handling court politics, and there are a lot of civil and military help, and you can be regarded as worthy of the ancestors of the great merchants, but Wang Er is still no successor, alas, I don't know when my mother will be able to hold her grandson?"

"Don't be anxious, the queen mother has time, I'm only twelve years old. "There is an algorithm among the people, even if he is born at the age of one year, and then there is a virtual age, so Sun Ming is now fourteen years old, but Sun Ming did not think so, but directly ordered it to be calculated in a normal way, so he is now twelve years old, otherwise the Queen Mother is likely to let him marry now.

Although Sun Ming definitely didn't listen, he didn't want to make his mother sad, and at the same time, in order to prosper the population, he directly ordered that men can only marry at the age of eighteen, while women can be sixteen years old, so as to ensure the increase in fertility and the health of the baby, and at the same time ensure that he will not marry too early.

Unable to stand the Queen Mother's wish for her grandson, Sun Ming escaped from here early and returned to his bedroom, this time he did not practice, but began to write, yes, it is writing, as early as when the paper was completed, Sun Ming wanted to speak.

Sun Ming studied traditional Chinese medicine, but the level of traditional Chinese medicine in later generations was not very high, so it is definitely not possible to write medical books, as for the "Thousand Character Text", "Hundred Family Names", and "Three Character Classic" are also not good, and now there is no basis for the appearance of these words, there are many allusions in it, and there is no such level as Sun Ming, who compiled himself, and Sun Ming's head has been as big as a bucket in the past few years.

I also read these things when I first studied medicine, after all, many Chinese medicine classics are ancient texts, although there are modern annotations, but I still need to understand more. Among them, Sun Ming's Lao Tzu also taught them the "Disciple Rules", which they had already forgotten, but after practicing, a large number of memories were also recovered, so the "Disciple Rules" became the only book that could be used as a speech.

At the same time, the text also needs to be reformed, hieroglyphs are not easy to write, some words are very similar, so it is very easy for people to confuse, and traditional Chinese characters are more perfect, although there are many strokes, but the structure is beautiful, and it is very valuable for calligraphy that is gradually becoming popular.

And what Sun Ming has to do today is to come up with a new text comparison, compare the text created by Cangjie with traditional characters, pick up the brush and start writing, the two sides add up to only 6,000 words, but there are more than 3,000 traditional characters, and a lot of annotations are needed. The introduction of the new script required a lot of time to learn, and Sun Ming was ready to start making it compulsory.

At the beginning, the villages were relatively close to the main road, or the main trunk of the main road, and a center was gradually formed between these villages, and this place was later used as a county seat, and Mongolian schools could be set up here at that time. Mengxue is very important for opening up the wisdom of the people, and at the same time, it is also of great significance to choose the best and become a reserve talent for future officials, and what they learn is the latest language, which is also conducive to the promotion of writing.

Wealth, popularity, prestige, Sun Ming gradually gathered all the things he needed to his side, increased his own aura, increased his own capital, and increased his hole cards. To find this site, please search for "6 Mao" or enter the URL:.
