Chapter 640: The monarch is a strong national policy, and the minister praises the country!
Chapter 640: The king plans to strengthen the country, and the ministers praise the country!
The birth of the Xi Kingdom’s holy place of cultivation [Qiyun Hall] once again caused a sensation in the Southern Wilderness.
Many qigong practitioners who once looked down upon the Xi Kingdom's summoning order and claimed that they would never go to Xi Kingdom to seek employment, after hearing the news, changed their minds and embarked on a journey to join Xiyun Hou.
In the past, there was a shortage of talented people in the Xi Kingdom, and Qi refiners could be reused and take on important positions. With the rise of the Xi Kingdom, they soared into the sky, breaking through the shackles of their own qualifications and status, and entering the upper circles of Zhu Xia.
Nowadays, the country of Xi is famous all over the world. The hegemony of one side has a solid foundation and talents from all over the world are pouring in. At this time, the roles are reversed. It is not that the country of Xi is seeking talents, but that the talents are trying their best to join the country of Xi.
Talents, merchants' money, resources, these flowing wealth are like tides, pouring into the emerging Xi Kingdom from all directions. The cold winter is coming, but it still cannot stop the vitality of Xi Kingdom.
It can be expected that when spring comes next year, Xi Kingdom will be in a completely different scene.
The people of the Xi Kingdom or the people of the Southern Wilderness who were among them were illiterate and did not have enough vision. They did not have much intuitive feelings about the various changes. They just felt that the Xi Kingdom was bigger and more lively than before.
However, in the eyes of the princes from all sides, the changes in Xi State and its vigorous development in the future were really astonishing.
In addition to being surprised and envious, the princes from all sides also paid more and more attention to Qi Xi's experience in governing the country.
Although Xi Kingdom developed quickly in the past, it did not reach the level of a hegemon, and it did not have the ability to create the [Qi Luck Hall]. However, today's Xi Kingdom has presented a brand new strategy to the world to become a powerful country, opening the door for the world's princes.
A new world.
How did Xi Kingdom become powerful?
The princes from all sides of the Celestial Dynasty began to pursue the answer. Some sent the leaders of their clans and the pillars of the country, unwilling to travel thousands of miles to Xigu to learn from the system, army, commerce, agriculture, etc., and found out that they were discussing the Xigu Kingdom.
The secret of the country’s rise.
As a result, when the snow was falling, countless people came to Xi Country from all the way from foreign lands, making the cold winter loneliness become lively and prosperous.
Birds are flying across thousands of mountains, but there are still people walking on the snow.
It can be seen that no matter what era, there is never a shortage of people who seek to make progress and pursue a better life.
"My dear friends, how can we strengthen our country?"
The snow is falling heavily and the north wind is howling. At the Divine Crane Hall in Yundu, Izumo Kingdom, Izumo Bo is lazily wrapped in fur clothes and asking the ministers for advice.
If on a normal day, the emperor asks for advice on how to strengthen the country, the ministers below him will certainly talk endlessly, talking about everything from the king's wise appointment to the morals and etiquette, one after another.
However, when asked about policy today, what Uncle Izumo wanted to hear was naturally not "quiet talk", but a strategy for strengthening the Xi Kingdom that had undergone earth-shaking changes in just five or six years.
The Izumo Kingdom is adjacent to the Xi Kingdom, and many of the ministers in the palace have traveled to the Xi Kingdom. When the mystery of the rise of the Xi Kingdom was mentioned, the ministers were extremely active and dared to report what they saw and heard to the king.
"Your Majesty, to make a country strong, it is necessary to have a strong army. The country of Xi was able to become strong in just a few years and cultivate two powerful elite divisions. The reason is nothing more than the good military merit system of the country of Xi. It is said that the country of Xi
Establish twelve levels of military merit to encourage army generals to fight bravely against the enemy;
Wei Chen believes that the reason why the Xi Kingdom is so strong depends on its military merit system;
Our country, Izumo, is prosperous, our country is rich and our people are strong. Looking at all the great uncles in the Celestial Dynasty, there are not many who can compete with me, Izumo. I, Izumo, are only one step away from being the overlord. If I, Izumo, can learn from the military system of Xiguo, I will inspire
The lieutenant generals in the army may be able to create a fifth-grade elite division. At that time, the luck will greatly increase, and they will be promoted to the ranks of the princes in one fell swoop, and the [Qi Luck Hall] will be opened!"
A minister stood in front of him and spoke in front of Izumobo and other ministers, thinking and saying something very insightful.
Uncle Izumo didn't pay much attention to it at first. As he listened, he felt it was very reasonable. He was so lazy that he became energetic and sat upright. Izumo Country has a good foundation and is only one step away from being the overlord.
Haruka, if this military merit system is really effective, maybe this is the way out for Izumo Country.
"Okay, what a military merit system. I wonder how Xiguo's military merit system inspires its soldiers and makes them a powerful and elite division?" Izumo Guo leaned forward slightly, looking like he was listening.
The Minister of Izumo was very excited when he saw the king's interest: "I would like to inform you, your Majesty, the military merit system of the Xi Kingdom is twelve turns and twelve turns of Ce Xun. It is judged by military merit and not by birth. Therefore, even if you are a commoner, if you are
For military merits, one can also receive meritorious services and be rewarded with wealth, silk, and land. If one achieves great achievements, they will also receive fiefs and fiefs. After the two kingdoms of Shanyuan and Mo were overthrown, many generals of the Xi Kingdom received fiefs. It was so generous.
Only then can the army of the Xi Kingdom become the masters of tigers and wolves!"
As soon as he heard "fief", most of the joy on Uncle Izumo's face disappeared. The military merit system sounded reasonable at first, but if he didn't expand the territory, where would he get the land to reward the soldiers?
Did he come out of Uncle Yun's land?
Uncle Izumo shook his head regretfully. The Izumo Kingdom was not a Xi Kingdom. It had insufficient foundation and did not dare to expand at will and open up new territories. This military system seemed beautiful, but in fact it was unrealistic.
"What Ai Qing said is very true. Do you have any high opinions?"
At this time, another minister came out and saluted:
"Your Majesty, I personally visited several cities in the Xi Kingdom, especially the three most prosperous cities of Xidu, Licheng and Chishui. I visited several times and what I saw and heard along the way was eye-opening and I benefited a lot from it.
During the period, Xi Kingdom attached great importance to farming and people's livelihood. My king, you don't know something. The art of farming is unparalleled in the world and no one can match it. When you walk in Xi Kingdom, you can see endless fertile fields, plains, hills, and water everywhere.
Streams, all the wasteland that can produce food has been reclaimed, and the people in the country are very smart and hard-working..."
Izuyun Bo nodded slightly: "Farming is the foundation of a country. The fact that Xi Country can be so prosperous and powerful is indeed outstanding. Shanyuan Country needs to learn the farming techniques of Xi Country."
"Your Majesty, I believe that Xi State is not only unique in the art of farming, but its livestock breeding is also one of the reasons for the rise of Xi State. Every household in Xi State raises pigs, sheep, ducks, chickens, and fish in ponds.
Shrimp, even if Xi Kingdom does not go into the mountains to hunt, the people of Xi Kingdom still have meat to eat. As a result, the people of Xi Kingdom are much stronger than other countries."
Uncle Izumo's eyes lit up: "Oh, there is another matter?"
"Your Majesty, I think this is a trivial matter. The real strength and prosperity of the Xi Kingdom lies in its prosperous commerce. Merchants from all over the world gathered in the Xi Capital, and the scene was comparable to the imperial capital. Various goods of the Xi Kingdom were sold well in all the countries in the world, and the world's wealth was everywhere.
They all fell into the pocket of Xi State. It was precisely because of the huge wealth flowing into Xi State that Xi State was able to mature and rise quickly, making the country strong, the people rich, and the army and horses strong."
"Hey, that's wrong. Your Majesty, your emphasis on business harms farmers. In my opinion, the reason why the Xi Kingdom has been able to rise quickly is that it attaches great importance to water conservancy. In the past few years, the Xi Kingdom has built dozens of dams, covering hundreds of thousands of acres.
Irrigation of fertile fields means that the country of Xi will have abundant harvests every year, making the country strong and its people prosperous."
"Your Majesty, I believe that the secret to the rise of the Xi Kingdom lies in building roads. There is a popular saying in the Xi Kingdom that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads..."
.......
I heard the ministers praising Xiguo in various ways. Although everything they said was very reasonable, Uncle Izuyun always felt that something was wrong. They all sounded beautiful, but they seemed to miss the point.
At first, Uncle Izumo listened with great interest, but gradually he became depressed. He coughed and said: "Quiet, dear sirs, your opinions are all reasonable, but on paper, someone has hit the nail on the head.
