Sun Ming shook his head, "The Taishi thinks too much, is he loyal? The current princes are loyal, but what about their heirs? Are each of them loyal? What if half of them are not loyal? This kind of thing is not thought of like this, and for the government decree, such a dispersion of power is also a disadvantage, how can a good national policy be conveyed to every people? Does it rely on the princes?"

Prime Minister Shang Rong said at this time: "The king is reasonable, it is true that he cannot rely on the princes, but ...... If they want to take back their rights, there will inevitably be a backlash. ”

"What the prime minister said is not wrong, so this kind of thing can't be anxious, first of all, we don't have enough officials to govern so much land, so it takes time to cultivate, and this matter needs the prime minister's help. ”

"The old minister is duty-bound. ”

"The second is the army, which requires the contribution of the Taishi, the army needs to change, I can't look down on the current combat effectiveness, and when the time comes, I will have the law to strengthen the army, and the specific implementation will require more attention from the Taishi, and it needs to be strictly kept secret, and the princes cannot get the news within five years. ”

"The old minister must do his best. Wen Zhong was puzzled, the soldiers he led were already the most powerful in the Shang Dynasty, how could they be promoted again?

"The third point is intelligence, knowing oneself and knowing that the other side will not be defeated in a hundred battles. As soon as Sun Ming said this, the eyes of the three ministers lit up, but Sun Ming didn't care about their thoughts at all, but continued: "Uncle Wang is responsible for collecting intelligence, not only military, but also the political affairs, specialties, terrain, commerce, etc. of the princes' territories, I have to know everything, I can form a caravan first, and all the things in the palace treasury can be traded, I want gold, silver, copper, and iron." ”

"Yes, but Your Highness, these metals are smelted, most of them are ores, isn't it a loss in exchange for this?" The productivity of the Shang Dynasty was low, even if it was a flood famine, but Sun Ming was not worried, smelting was not difficult at all, it was not that he really knew how to be so skilled, but that he could refine weapons. It was not that he wanted to use his mana to refine the weapon himself, but that he could understand the melting point of these metals through the refining tool.

The ore contains a large number of other elements, and the melting point of various substances can be understood through the refiner, although it can not be too detailed, but there is no problem with an understanding, and when the time comes, it is also feasible to smelt by looking for burning materials.

"It doesn't matter, I'm free to use it and use it, just trade it directly, those rags are useless in the treasury, take it to trade, remember, don't be too anxious, you can reach it within five years." ”

"Yes. ”

"This is my initial plan, this is just a general overview, the specific actions need to be improved step by step, you can know it yourself, and then give me cooperation in the court. In addition, can the princes of the Taishi have the image of rebellion?"

"Back to the king, it is common for princes to rebel, but not recently. Wen Zhong replied.

"Well, if there is another rebellion of the princes, after the subsidence of the land, it will no longer be divided and will be returned to the central government. ”

"The king, if you don't divide the feudal feuds again, things will not be easy to do, and it will easily cause dissatisfaction among the princes. Prime Minister Shang Rong said.

"It's okay, if you're dissatisfied, you're dissatisfied, it's a good thing that someone rebels, if they don't rebel, then how can I have an excuse to take back the fief?" Sun Ming smiled disdainfully, the three ministers who saw it were terrified, this king was actually looking forward to the princes rebelling, it was really going to the old people, and there might not be anyone who came later!

"Think twice, once the princes rebel, I'm afraid the country will be shaken!" Shang Rong still wanted to persuade him, "The king can wait for the plan to be completed and take his time." ”

"Hehe, you think too much, I am a boiled frog in warm water, the rebellion of the princes will not break out at the same time, once it breaks out at the same time, I will be in danger. And now the princes are not aligned, and there are many reasons for the rebellion, most of them are too much under the rule, and the people's grievances are boiling, so they can only transfer this resentment to Lone's body, think about it yourself, is it the case every time?"

"This ......" thinks about it, who wants to rebel if there is no problem with the territory of the general princes? And those who rebel first attacked the neighboring princes, and then the princes asked Chaoge to send troops to help, and finally won the battle, and the territory was divided by the surrounding princes. Sun Ming just can't get used to this, I sent a large army to the song, and in the end the benefits were taken away by you? Why didn't such a good thing come to his head?

"Therefore, this kind of thing can't continue to be laissez-faire, otherwise the strength of some princes will expand rapidly, so sooner or later Chaoge will not be able to control them, just like the four princes, although their strength is not as strong as Chaoge, but it has also reached our two, and if this continues, the four princes can confront the royal family. This is also something that I have no objection to marrying Dong Bohou, at least one can win support for the royal family, and Dong Bohou can talk about it last. ”

"The king is wise. The three ministers were convinced.

"You don't need to worry, we will slowly take back the land of some princes, and then Chaoge's strength will continue to grow, and when the princes react, Chaoge will no longer be afraid of their union, and some princes are a little wiser, then they will not confront Chaoge, take the initiative to return the rights, and they can also report wealth and wealth, or enter the court as an official, in fact, our resistance is very small. ”

Sun Ming still didn't say a word, if Xiqi rebelled in the future, then naturally the princes could be allowed to crusade, and Chaoge's army would not move, or it would be conquered from another direction, so that the resistance would be less, which was the general direction of the plan.

"Okay, that's the plan, the prime minister will go and find some craftsmen for Lone, that's all for today, you all go. At the end of the small meeting, the three of them were puzzled about Sun Ming's request for a craftsman, but this was not a problem.

Sun Ming's plan is huge, if you want to reverse the situation and wrestle with the saint, it is not enough to rely on your own cultivation, because it is inevitable that the affairs of the human race are best solved in the way of the human race, and the saints and disciples need to block the outside, it is impossible for them to decide the fate of the human race, this momentum must be suppressed, otherwise the human race will not be able to reflex itself in the future, this war is unprecedented, and Sun Ming may not be able to unite with Tongtian, and then we will have to see the situation, only when Tongtian is forced to go nowhere, he can take action。

And if the human race wants to develop and build a strong empire, then it needs to develop productive forces, the three ministers have already left, but Sun Ming's thoughts have not stopped, but the servants have already walked in with food at this time.

"Your Majesty, it's time for meals. The servant whispered.

Only then did Sun Ming see that there was already a lot of food in front of him, grains, meat, vegetables and fruits, there were many types, but the methods were monotonous, most of them were boiled and sprinkled with some salt, and although the color of the salt was the best, it was just like that, and it couldn't be compared with refined salt.

"In the future, if the fruit is served after the meal, you don't need to put it on the table directly, you can serve one kind of grain rice at a time, two dishes of meat, and two courses of green vegetables are enough, understand?" Sun Ming finished speaking and began to eat, but the servants did not know why, but what the king said, he had no right to refute.

After a lunch, then eat some fruit, and then Sun Ming took a nap here, and came together in the afternoon, the servants came to report, the craftsman had come, the carpenter, the blacksmith, and the bricklayer all had it, Sun Ming nodded, and walked out of the council hall directly, and saw more than a dozen craftsmen, who should all be good hands.

"See the King. "The craftsman will salute.

Sun Ming found a craftsman to naturally do something, especially smelting, first let the blacksmith find metal ore, at this time, non-experienced craftsmen can't distinguish the type of ore. The four metals of gold, silver, copper, and iron are the focus, and after the four metals are taken, Sun Ming first has to experiment, while the carpenter is the main tool, and the Quyuan plough is a necessary big killing weapon.

Although Sun Ming has never planted the land, the result of this kind of plough is too simple, and it is naturally clear after reading it once, and Sun Ming is even more intensive in refining the way of refining, so it is natural. The way of refining weapons is not only the prohibition above, but also the structural problem of the spirit treasure, just like a physical and mechanical engineer, the key to it can naturally be seen at a glance.

Bricklayers naturally need them to build kilns, and then prepare to burn bricks, this Sun Ming is a bit of a layman, but craftsmen are more wisdom, don't underestimate them, practice makes perfect, some things have been handed over for a lifetime, even if they can't say what the principle is, but it is still very feasible to let them do it.

Sun Ming just said a rough idea, and the rest can be left to the craftsmen to study by themselves, this kind of thing always needs to be experimented, anyway, Sun Ming is not in a hurry now.

Now the most important thing is the manufacture of the Quyuan plow, so that a lot of manpower can be saved, more land can be reclaimed, so as to develop agriculture as much as possible, increase the output of grain, and have food in the hands of the heart is not panicked, even if the iron smelting is not yet a clue, but the bronze is also available, after all, it is metal, and it can still break the soil of the wasteland by putting it on the Quyuan plow.

The carpenters' work was the easiest of all, and it was only a simple wooden structure assembly, and the experiment was completed in three days, and the carpenter happily came to the palace with the zigzag plow.

The plough is light, a cow can be pulled, and a child can lead the cow, but now the cattle are without nose rings, and there are not many of them, to the number of horses, training children can be pulled away, especially pack horses and horses are very docile. The difference is in endurance, but because it is cheap, two horse-drawn plows, an adult and a child, can open up twenty acres of land a day.

In this spring, even if a farmer cultivates 100 acres of land, it is not a problem, but it is a little laborious to take care of the land in the back, but it is 50 acres after subtracting half, so that it can be opened up as much as possible, anyway, the flood is big enough, this is not the earth, and the land is still intact, and it has not been divided because of the battle of the saints.
