Every year, the king of Zhou would cast a large number of these bronzes as rewards to the princes of the world, or to his officials.

Of course, when there is no big deal, they usually just give them "gold", that is, bronze, and let them cast it into various items themselves.

"In the 22nd year, Uncle Zheng built a city in the Yangtze River of Xiangshui. He raised tens of thousands of civilians and named it Xiangyang..."

While these words were engraved on the bamboo slips, they also emitted light word by word, illuminating the dim dreamland, like stars with bright colors.

This is the power of civilization. Civilization has carved out a domain in this remote and ignorant land.

This is the unique power of Zhou Shi!

The so-called Xia Shangzhong, Yin Shanggui, and Zhou Shangwen.

The culture that Zhou people admired was civilization, or humanities.

It is not without reason that some people in later generations call Duke Zhou, who founded the etiquette and laws of the entire Zhou Dynasty, the founder of humanities.

In the Shang Dynasty, the Shang kings claimed that they were the sons of the Emperor of Heaven, and death meant returning to heaven and to the Emperor of Heaven.

Therefore, life is just a short journey, and being the King of Shang is just to govern the world on behalf of the Emperor of Heaven, so the biggest task is to please the Emperor of Heaven and the gods.

So they slaughtered the captives, cattle and sheep with blood, burned a large amount of gold, silver, jade and silk, and offered sacrifices to the Emperor and gods to gain their favor.

After the Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Shang Dynasty, these messy sacrifices were cancelled, especially human sacrifices.

Although the King of Zhou was called the Son of Heaven, he no longer relied on the power of ghosts and gods to rule, but began to rely on blood relatives to rule the entire world.

The Zhou people established a complete set of patriarchal relationships based on blood ties. They determined their relationships with the various vassal states based on their blood relationship with the Emperor of Zhou, and became the link between the various states.

Therefore, on this land, the vassal states of the Ji family of the Zhou people, the Jiang family as an ally and marriage partner, and many younger brothers, Yong, Shu, Qiang, Yao, Wei, Lu, Peng, and Pu kingdoms were formed.

Coupled with the Deng State, Song State, etc. composed of the remnants of the conquered merchants, a complete world system was formed.

These countries are all members of the Tianxia system established by King Zhou, and can all be called Huaxia and Zhuxia.

And this does not include the barbarians Rongdi, and many savage tribes.

At this moment, Zheng Xiaoming is wandering in a hazy world on the edge of the dreamland. This is the homeland, and he can see the dots of firelight, just like the stars in the sky, scattered across the vast and dark land.

Every bit of fire represents a country and a city in the Zhuxia system.

From a distance, it looks like a sky full of stars.

The two most dazzling stars undoubtedly represent the location of Zong Zhou and Cheng Zhou.

These are the two capitals of the Zhou people, just like the sun and the moon, the fires of other civilizations exist around these two cities.

His eyes moved and looked towards him. Where Xiangyang was, a flame began to light up, like a dim star.

Only as the construction here becomes stronger will it shine brighter and become stronger and stronger.

He moved his eyes slightly and saw another spark of civilization.

That is not quite the same as the fire of civilization under the patriarchal system of the Great Zhou Dynasty. In addition, the fire is distributed like a long river.

This should belong to the civilization of the Chu people. The Chu people started from the upper reaches of the Han River, entered the Yangtze River along both sides of the Han River, and then relied on both sides of the Yangtze River to continue to develop downstream, eventually forming a giant.

Of course, the power of the Chu people is still on both sides of the Han River and the Yangtze River. At most, it has only reached the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and has not yet developed to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

Therefore, the Chu people's cities are also located on both sides of the Yangtze River and Han Dynasty, and most of them are still on the south bank.

From here, it looks like a Milky Way.

Even further away, there are also dots of firelight, which are all civilizations that do not belong to the patriarchal system of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Most of them are not even considered civilized, but are still in the barbaric stage of ignorance and uncivilization.

Even though the Chu people call themselves barbarians, they are actually a marginal member of the Zhou clan system, and their civilization is also a branch of the so-called Zhuxia.

It was only because at the time of King Li, the Chu people and the Zhou Dynasty completely fell out. Then Chu Xiongqu said the famous words of "I am a barbarian!"

Zheng Xiaoming's eyes quickly shifted from the fire of Chu people's civilization, and he soon discovered a dim star around him that did not belong to the system of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

This is a dark star, representing the true barbarians.

This star is located only two to three hundred miles away from Xiangyang, and is much larger than the surrounding "stars".

And those stars represent Zhuxia, which are several small countries under the patriarchal system led by the Zhou Dynasty.

And this barbarian star is actually stronger than several small countries around it.

This made Zheng Xiaoming slightly surprised: "Why is there such a powerful barbarian country nearby?"

A simple barbarian tribe cannot form such stars, the so-called fire of civilization.

This shows that the strength and civilization of this barbarian country have reached a certain level.

"How can we allow others to snore on the side of the bed?"

Zheng Xiaoming's heart moved and he decided to take action against this barbarian country.

Just when Zheng Xiaoming was preparing to attack this barbarian country, he heard Taishi Boyang's voice saying: "Your Majesty, please wait!"

Zheng Xiaoming was slightly startled when he saw that Taishi Boyang, who was busy writing books in the real world, followed him and wandered back to his hometown. He couldn't help but ask: "Why did Taishi stop me?"

Taishi Boyang said: "The barbarian country is the country of Lu Rong. I am not trying to stop the king, but I think that Qing Lang should lead the troops to attack the country of Lu Rong. Qing Lang is sent by the king!"

Contrary to the common sense of many people, Emperor Zhou still had very tight control over the vassal states.

Because the armies of all the vassal states are under the control of the "Qing" sent by the King of Zhou.

Even the civil servant leaders in the princely states were sent by the King of Zhou.

This is exactly the same as in the Han Dynasty, when the emperor of the Han Dynasty sent ministers and lieutenants to direct the state affairs of the vassal states.

The same goes for Zheng Xiaoming's Zheng State, whose subordinates were also controlled by Qing Lang sent by King Zhou.

However, this era is still an era of tribal politics.

Great nobles like Zheng Xiaoming have people and even tribes inherited from their parents. So it is hard to say how much power these ministers and officials can control in the princes' countries!

The so-called Qing of Qinglang and Taishi of Taishi Boyang are generally official positions. But Lang, He Bo are their names.

Because both of them are also Ji surnames, their real names are Ji Lang and Ji Boyang.

Taishi is the Taishi Ling of Sima Qian. He had a very high status and great power in the Zhou Dynasty. He basically replaced the status of the merchant wizards. It also represented that humanities are better than magical wizards.

And Qing is the official position sent by the King of Zhou to command the troops of the vassal states!

At this moment, Lu Rongguo was very powerful, but Taishi Boyang asked Qing Lang to lead his troops to conquer. This has a lot of meaning!

Zheng Xiaoming glanced at Taishi Boyang for a few times, remained silent for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay!" If you like Futian in My Heart, please collect it: (https://www.myxls.net) Futian in My Heart is updated at search novel website speed
