Chapter 148 Founding a Nation
The first day of October.
Luoyang City was full of guests and friends. As the first anti-Qin pioneer and the leader of the anti-Qin group.
Although Wang Buxu did not have much communication with other princes, according to the rules, after Zhang Liang confirmed the title of king and the date, he sent envoys to inform the princes of the world.
This is a very important process. If the king-proclaiming ceremony lacks the support of these princes from all over the world, the entire ceremony will be overshadowed.
At the same time, the persuasiveness will not be that strong.
And Wang Buxu's achievements in the anti-Qin war did not allow such an embarrassing situation to occur.
Of course, they don't dare.
Qin Ting's face can be withheld, and any prince's face can be withheld, but Wang Buxing's face cannot be withheld, and he dare not withhold it.
Therefore, after receiving the news, the princes of the world hurriedly selected envoys to come to Luoyang, waiting to participate in the king-proclaiming ceremony on the first day of October.
Early this morning, Wang Buxu's three thousand personal guards put on new military uniforms.
The background color is red, and they are covered with carefully woven leather armor, with daggers slung around their waists. Those responsible for standing guard hold weapons in one hand and stand at their respective positions.
Early in the morning, before dawn, the envoys who came to watch the ceremony and the civil and military ministers under Wang Buxu got up together and went to the Luoyang Palace to wait.
The king-proclaiming ceremony is not simple at all. In fact, no one knows the process. Most of them refer to ancient systems.
At the right time, Wang Buxu, who was also wearing a red robe, slowly walked out under the protection of Zhang Buyi and others.
Zhang Liang stood on the side of the high platform, took out the book he had prepared in advance and read it loudly.
At this point, the first step to becoming king is completed.
Wang Buxu's king-proclaiming ceremony was a little different from other people's. To a certain extent, he referred to some of Chen Sheng's king-proclaiming procedures on that day, but it was more solemn and formal than Chen Sheng's king-proclaiming ceremony.
The rituals of other kings only have a certain reference significance, because if their rituals are used as a reference, there is one procedure in the whole process that cannot be followed.
Wang Buxian started his own business, rather than taking over the throne from his ancestors.
As for saying that you believe in atheism, you can only say that it is wrong, and it is completely wrong.
China should be the first country in the world that has faith and theism.
It's just that they believe in their own ancestors, not some gods that have nothing to do with them.
After the first book-making was read out, in addition to confirming that the king would be crowned king, the country's name was also determined to be Han, the capital was Luoyang, the flag color was red, etc.
Wang Buxu sat on the throne like a puppet, looking at the dense crowd below and Zhang Liang working hard to read out the writings one after another.
Then Wang Buxu summed up a fact.
The more grand, important, and historic the ceremony is, the more boring, boring, and lonely it is.
No, from the beginning to now, more than half an hour has passed, and Wang Buxu hasn't said a word.
"At the beginning of the business, the king once said to treat the fallen and injured soldiers kindly. Now that the business has just begun, I will follow the king's instructions to discuss this resettlement method and ask the king to take a look." Zhang Liang took out a bamboo slip and said respectfully.
Handed it over.
The bodyguards who had been prepared long ago took the bamboo slips and handed them to Zhang Buyi, who then spread them out on the cases in front of Wang Buyi.
This process has been reversed in order. According to the ancient system, there has never been any precedent, but most of them are announced at the last moment of the ceremony.
But Wang Buxu believed that the arrangements for those who died in the battle and were injured should be understood first, so that those who were alive would not be confused.
So, the order just changed.
Wang Buxian read it carefully. He already knew the content, but he still had to read it carefully, otherwise he would not pay enough attention to it.
"Accurate!" Wang Buxu finally got a copy of the lines, then picked up the seals on several cases and stamped them.
Although they didn't know what was on the bamboo slips, the representatives of the princes in the audience were beating the drum in their hearts.
Are there additional rewards for soldiers who died in battle?
This is so uncomfortable...
The bamboo slips returned to Zhang Liang's hands, and the process continued. Zhang Liang opened the bamboo slips, faced the audience and began to read loudly.
"It has been more than a year since I started my business, and now it has just been completed. I dare not forget the sacrifices of all the soldiers... Six thousand one hundred and seventy-seven people were killed in the battle. His father and his mother were exempted from tax when they reached fifty. His sons, his daughters, and his sons
For minors, the salary is ten dan per year. For unmarried girls, the salary is 6 dan per year. The wife will be exempted from taxes until three years after remarrying. Twenty thousand, two hundred and thirty people seriously injured will be exempted from taxes. The government will arrange them to work for a period of time and receive compensation according to their work.
!”
'boom……'
The audience immediately became lively, and discussions broke out.
This is simply going to turn upside down...
Among the princes in the world, who dares to have such courage?
"It's not King Chen again, is it?" Cao Shen stood in the crowd, so as not to be conspicuous, and whispered to the people next to him.
"He has the strength!" Xiao He shook his head and rejected Cao Shen's view.
"Looking at the current strength, what if we are defeated in a battle? Tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of people are killed and wounded in battle. This happens every year. I'm afraid even Qin Ting can't support it!" Cao Shen still thinks that his opinion is okay.
"You can afford it!" Xiao He glanced at Cao Shen and replied in the affirmative with a worried look on his face.
"How can you afford this?"
"Just talking about Xingyang County, which has completed the distribution of cultivated land, do you know how much official land there is?" Xiao He asked.
Cao Shen shook his head. How could he have the time to pay attention to this?
"In the entire Xingyang, one out of three is official land. If wasteland is opened up, in three to five years, the number of official fields will exceed the amount of land distributed to the people..."
"..."
Now it was Cao Shen's turn to be confused. There were so many official fields?
Wang Buxu's method has aroused a lot of discussion in various places, especially in areas not controlled by Wang Buxu. Many local powerful people have put pressure on their respective bosses.
So far, judging from the known situation, all the big bosses have compromised and repeatedly promised not to do anything to him like Wang Buxu.
In order to obtain such a guarantee, these powerful landlords had to shed blood again, giving the big bosses another hearty meal.
As for the Han Kingdom where the king is not hungry...
Well, the soft and hard ones are gone, and the rest can only choose to accept it silently.
Wang Buxu is not only courageous, but also very tough.
He dared to do things that the princes in the world did not dare to do.
Not only did he do it, he also made the people under his rule surrender.
The local tycoons did not dare to speak out anymore. They were clearly arranged by Wang Buxu, and the people below received benefits, so they were naturally willing to support Wang Buxu.
Xiao He sighed helplessly, shook his head and said: "Hey, Pei Gong is in trouble, the world is in trouble..."
Zhang Liang did not stop the commotion in the audience. The people who came here were all the highest quality people at the moment, so Zhang Liang waited for a while, then turned to Wang Buxu again and took out another bamboo slip.
When everyone in the audience saw Zhang Liang turning around, they consciously stopped talking. Unconsciously, they were deliberately making people look bad. In this situation, no one would dare to say anything even if you were killed.
Chapter completed!
