Chapter Eighty-Eight: Three Years (I)
The deceased is like this, and it is another three years in the blink of an eye.
Dongqi Linzi Palace.
Prime Minister Zou Xuan finished dealing with the mountain of folds, breathed a sigh of relief, and reported to the Marquis of Qi Yueji on the throne about the recent government affairs of Eastern Qi. Seeing Yueji's absent-minded appearance, Zou Xuan smiled and said, "The king is missing that national teacher again?"
King Yueji was told that he was in his heart, and bowed his head and said: "Prime Minister don't want to laugh at me, I really don't know what Your Majesty thinks, you insist on letting me make his nameless identity the national teacher, and he also said that he wants to be promoted to the national teacher of the entire Great Shang......"
She suddenly thought that someone was teasing herself as a "national teacher" in those nights, and she actually had some fun, and her pretty face couldn't help but turn crimson, but fortunately, Zou Xuan was lowering his head and pondering something, so he didn't see it.
"Your Majesty is very human, and this move must have a deep meaning, which is not something that our wisdom can understand. Zou Xuan thought for a while, and said: "I think that at the beginning, when Your Majesty implemented the new policy in my Eastern Qi, the old minister thought that my country was finished like this, and he vigorously dissuaded him, but His Majesty was still resolute in his holy will, but he didn't expect it to have such a miraculous effect!"
Tsukihime's face showed a look of admiration: "Yes, Your Majesty has made an unprecedented initiative, set up Dongqi as a 'special economic zone', vigorously developed the fishing and salt industry, and implemented a land reform policy, freed slaves into farmers, and granted land to work. A few years ago, our people were still unable to have enough food and clothing, but now they are rich, it is like a dream, and I still think about it, and sometimes I still dare not believe that it is true. ”
Zou Xuan empathized: "Your Majesty promised to lead our clan out of poverty in just three years, and it has been realized in just three years, and our clan is sincerely grateful to the Son of Heaven, and even those rebellious patriarchs are happy and convinced. If our clan does not descend to the Great Shang, I am afraid that there will be no such prosperity for hundreds of years, and now it seems that it was the wisest decision to join the Great Shang back then. Nowadays, even in Donglu, there are many people who have fled to our country to join us......"
Zhang Zixing's new policy actually used the "special zone" of Dongqi as a testing ground for the feudal system.
There are too many drawbacks in the slave society, especially the development so far, it has become the biggest shackle to the further development of the productive forces, inhuman life and cruel exploitation and abuse make the slaves hate forced labor very much, they have to use sabotage, destruction of production tools, abuse of livestock and other methods to express resistance, there are also many bold direct choice to flee, many bankrupt civilians and small producers would rather live by charity than work for slave owners...... And the "New Deal" implemented by Zhang Zixing in the Eastern Qi Dynasty made the slaves who had been suffering for many years finally see the light of day.
The main content of the new policy was to divide the land of Dongyi, most of which was owned by the state, and a small part to the patriarchs of each ethnic group, and at the same time to remove the slaves of all ethnic groups, turn slaves into peasants, and give land. The condition was that the slaves had to complete the prescribed production tasks within one year, and if they could do so, they would be immediately freed, and if they were unable or unwilling to do so, they could become the private domestic slaves of the patriarchs.
In order to further increase the enthusiasm of the patriarchs and slaves, in Zhang Zixing's measures, the peasants who were freed could use the land they were given to cultivate their labor, and 20 percent of the labor income was handed over to the original patriarch, 20 percent was paid to the state tax, and the remaining 60 percent was owned by the peasants. The peasants' possession of the land is not permanent, but temporarily lasts for 30 years, and as long as the specified annual harvest tasks can be completed, this tenure period can be increased every year to benefit future generations; if it cannot be completed due to slackness or laziness, the tenure period of possession or even the resumption of the land shall be reclaimed, and if the harvest is failed due to natural or man-made disasters, it will be calculated separately.
In addition to the harvest of their own private land, the patriarchs also enjoyed 20% of the peasants' harvest, and their enjoyment of land and benefits was also limited by a time of 50 years. If these patriarchs, who were slave owners, could keep to themselves, obey the decrees issued by the state, and especially not exploit the peasants without permission and encroach on the peasants' land, then this authority could also be increased every year, and the state would have an additional reward every year. If you have special merits or battle medals, you can also reward more land area while adding years. On the other hand, the offense is subject to the deduction of the additional harvest years and the area of the land, and in the case of a felony, the entire land is confiscated at the same time as the crime.
To put it simply, as long as you are honest and obedient, you can basically enjoy these privileges forever, and if you don't listen, you have nothing.
For the slave owners who had enslaved the clan for many years, the new policy was undoubtedly the confiscation of their largest private property, slaves and land, which was naturally met with great resistance when it was first implemented two years ago, but the Eastern Qi was a defeated country, and Yueji and Zou Xuan used the garrison of the Great Shang to firmly control the situation in the country, and also set up a strict supervision mechanism, if there was a violation, the punishment was a serious crime.
After destroying several of the most rebellious archetypes, the patriarchs had to give in in in order to save their lives. But the economic benefits of this capitulation are staggering. With the power of freedom and land, the enthusiasm of slaves for production was unprecedentedly high, even the old, weak, sick and disabled were no exception, and Zhang Zixing adopted Jiang Ziya's strategy of "repairing the government, because of its customs, simplicity and courtesy, trade and industry, and the benefits of fishing and salt", so that the Eastern Qi Dynasty developed rapidly and gradually had the prototype of a rich country. You Hun, the "red-topped businessman" who was instructed by Zhang Zixing, also showed his strength in Eastern Qi, and the living standards of the upper and lower levels of Eastern Qi were greatly improved, and the patriarchs lived a luxurious life that they had only dreamed of before, and at the same time, they also understood the benefits of the New Deal, they only needed to keep to themselves, and they could continue to live this happy life, and a few people had to restrain their ambition and hatred under the control of force.
"This husband is good at everything, but he comes and goes in a hurry, and so do the four sisters, who only stay for a few days each time, and then go back to Chaoge...... Otherwise, next time I simply make some trouble for him in the country, or lie that the prime minister is critically ill, I should come to accompany me for a while......"
King Yueji's soft muttering failed to hide from Zou Xuan, who had exhausted his mana, and the prime minister of Dongqi, who had retreated to the gate of the palace, had a spasm in his facial muscles, and shook his head with a wry smile.
※※※※※※※※※※
On the Island of the Three Immortals.
The three Niangniang were sitting at the front of the cave, their faces no longer covered with the strange masks, and in front of them was a pink jade carved child, about six or seven years old, who was none other than Nezha.
Bi Xiao looked at this cute little apprentice with a smile and said, "Good apprentice, this time you came back from Chaoge, I wonder what strange things your lustful Heavenly Son Master taught you this time?"
Nezha pursed his lips and said disapprerovingly: "How can the fourth master say that the master is lustful again? The master said that lust is the true nature of a man, and he would rather be a real villain than a hypocrite. ”
Qiong Xiao frowned and said: "What the Son of Heaven said is not completely unreasonable, people in my generation should be free and uninhibited, but Nezha is less than seven years old, is it too early to teach him this?"
"It's called ...... That education in advance!" Bi Xiao shook her head and said with a smile: "Fortunately, Nezha only stayed in Chaoge for two months at a time, otherwise he would have been taught to be a little pervert by that guy." ”
The eldest sister Yunxiao showed a strange expression: "Sister, I don't think Nezha is anything, your words are invisibly influenced by the Son of Heaven, and it is an early education, and it is a pervert's ......"
"People just saw that Nezha said something interesting, so they copied it," Bixiao pouted her lips as she learned from Nezha, and found that she still liked this action a little, and turned to look at Nezha, and her body flew out lightly: "Good apprentice, what real skills have you learned in Chaoge this time?" Come, let the master test test you better, and make all you learn out, and you are not allowed to keep your hands!"
"Yes! Nezha walked out of the confrontation with Bi Xiao according to his words, he took out a golden spear from the magic weapon bag and put on an attack posture. Suddenly, Nezha's gaze froze in the sky behind Bi Xiao, as if there was something strange.
Bi Xiao was very curious in her heart, and she was thinking that there was something strange, she looked back at Nezha's gaze, but she didn't find anything, and suddenly Qiongxiao's voice came from her ears: "Sister be careful!"
Just when Bi Xiao was distracted, Nezha had spared no effort to launch a stormy attack, and for a while, all the magic weapons passed to him by Sanxiao were thrown out, and there were a few small balls that Sanxiao had never seen, but the power was amazing, and it could actually explode, and even the hard rocks on the ground were burst.
After the smoke cleared, Bixiao's figure appeared in the sky, holding several magic weapons thrown by Nezha in his hand, although he was safe and sound, he was also disgraced, so he was not embarrassed.
Bi Xiao floated down to the ground, threw everything with willow eyebrows, and twisted Nezha's powdery little face: "Okay, you little Nezha, you dare to sneak attack as a teacher, and even throw out the red flame gun! If it weren't for my sister's reminder, I would really be injured by you." ”
Nezha was in pain, but he didn't dare to resist, and said with a bitter face: "Fourth Master, you yourself said that I will do my best......"
"This time you are in Chaoge, and you learned this trick of scoundrel sneak attack?" Bi Xiao let go of his hand angrily, looked at the red marks on Nezha's face, and couldn't help but twist it again on the other side of his face, to pursue balance, I felt that the hand felt very good, and most of the anger in my heart was gone.
"The master taught that when you are against others, you should not take it lightly, and you must go all out as soon as you come up. "Nezha was afraid that Bixiao would twist it again, so he quickly covered his cheeks with both hands, "Master Zun said, many people who think they have the way, are too childish when facing the enemy, obviously have a powerful magic weapon, but they hide it at the beginning and don't use it, and even take the short and give up the long, take a long sword and people pretend to fight a few times, it is really invincible, and then cast a pressure box magic weapon to save face, it is really stupid. If you face such an enemy, even if your strength is weaker than the opponent's, as long as you have the right strategy, you can still defeat the enemy......"
After listening to Nezha's relayed Zhang Zixing's major theory on the "advanced combat concept", Sanxiao glanced at each other, and his face showed surprise. It is true that today's ascetics have this unwritten "bad" habit when they fight, and that the most powerful things are always left for last. If you follow Nezha's example, and take advantage of his unpreparedness to attack with all his strength at the beginning, then the opponent may not even have time to take out the powerful magic weapon and be destroyed.
"That's a bit too despicable. Bixiao wanted to take advantage of the situation to twist Nezha's little face again, but seeing that he was tightly protected, she had to knock on the top of his head.
Yunxiao pondered for a while, and sighed: "If it is just an ordinary fight, how can you have such worries when you really fight with your opponent?" Although His Majesty is a bit of a scoundrel, he can see everything and can do what others cannot, which really makes me admire, and in the future, when we face the enemy, we must be cautious, and if necessary, we can also preemptively use this strategy to win." ”
Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao nodded thoughtfully, after this incident, Sanxiao's curiosity and admiration for the Son of Heaven added a little more, and Qiong Xiao asked casually: "Apprentice, what else did your master say?"
"It's gone......" Nezha suddenly thought of something, and his expression looked a little unnatural.
What kind of character is Sanxiao, he immediately discovered his abnormality, Bi Xiao was the most anxious, so he naturally made the first difficulty: "Little apprentice, did you learn anything bad from that guy? The bursting ball should have been given to you by him to sneak attack me!"
Nezha was most afraid of this fourth master who twisted his face at every turn, so he put down his hands and covered his cheeks tightly, before he nodded, and shook his head desperately.
Yunxiao smiled disapprenosingly: "Sister Hugh is going to be difficult, although His Majesty is not informal, he is a careful person, especially for his shortcomings, and he will never take Nezha seriously." The small ball-like magic weapon just now did not have the slightest power fluctuation, and it actually had the power to burst the mountain stone, which was really rare, it must have been the talisman treasure he gave to Nezha, what did it have to do with sneaking up on you? You still restrain your mind and pass on the last three changes of the Shangqing Immortal Recipe to Nezha. ”
Bixiao was most convinced of this sister, and immediately put away her playful expression and nodded yes.
Nezha breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and subconsciously touched the magic treasure bag, which was hiding a good thing given to him by the master, a magic weapon that can take pictures of all images: a smart digital camera! At the same time, the "master zun" who has never given up on something also gave this little apprentice an extremely "most important" secret task, that is, to find an opportunity to use the camera to secretly take pictures of the true faces of the three masters without masks......
