Chapter 644: The beginning of the country and top-level design
Chapter 644: The Early Years of the Nation and Top-Level Design
As the ice and snow melted and spring blossomed, the emerging overlord of Xi Kingdom woke up from hibernation and began to vigorously manage the newly conquered land.
Under the escort of the two elite divisions [Yu Shen Army] and [Fenghuang Division], the implementation of the national policy progressed rapidly and steadily according to the original plan.
Anyone who dares to act like a chariot will be shattered to pieces.
The original policies of the Xi Kingdom, such as land reform, household registration, and the new slave policy, began to be fully implemented and implemented on the newly laid foundation.
Today, the Xi Kingdom has already become the focus of the Southern Wilderness Kingdoms. The Xi Kingdom has made drastic changes in Mo and Shanyuan, and other vassal states did not dare to show weakness and began to imitate and learn in "all kinds of ways".
From the art of farming to various production technologies, and then to the system of the Xi Kingdom, all countries began to follow the Xi Kingdom.
Countries continue to send elites to various parts of the Xi Kingdom, hoping to learn the skills of the Xi Kingdom to strengthen the country.
All kinds of changes naturally fell into the eyes of the senior officials of Xi State. For this reason, the ministers of Xi State began to worry that other vassal states had secretly learned the strategies of Xi State to strengthen the country and harmed the interests of Xi State.
There are many people who think this way. The second elder Wu Tong, the second elder Long and the Yanzhe Ah Qi all have this hidden worry.
Especially Yanzhe Ah Qi, as the Minister of Industry and the Vice President of Tianwen College, he has many departments under his jurisdiction involving many secrets, and every technology is extremely precious. If others steal it, it will cause great losses to Xi Country.
The most obvious example is the magical skill of building roads and bridges [earth and stone skills]. This secret skill is the core of the Xiguo's great roads and connected roads, and cannot be easily revealed.
"Your Majesty, the secret arts of runes such as [Earth and Stone Magic] and the efficient machine arts of looms are the intangible wealth of the Xi Kingdom. Now that the Xi Kingdom has attracted much attention and is being spied on by all parties, I think we should step up the investigation.
Its supervision is to prevent others from stealing it!" Yanzhe Ah Qi was very worried about this and was worried.
Yao Yun nodded slightly. After these years of development, Xiguo has accumulated countless technologies for production, from building roads and bridges, making salt and sugar, leather manufacturing, steel manufacturing, cloth and silk, etc., Xiguo has
It is comprehensively ahead of the other countries in the world, which is a major boost to the rapid rise of the Xi Kingdom in recent years.
Regarding Yanzhe Ah Qi's concerns, Yao Yun naturally paid attention to them and immediately graded various technologies one by one across the country, blocking certain important rune secrets and production technologies and prohibiting their outflow.
The second elders, Wu Tong and Long Erye, were quite worried about other countries learning from the Xiguo system and carrying out large-scale reforms.
"Your Majesty, the strength of the Izumo Kingdom is only one step away from that of the Ichigo Kingdom. If they learn the system of the Xi Kingdom to become a powerful nation, the Izumo Kingdom will take off in one fell swoop."
"Second Elder, what do you think is the strength of Xiguo's system?" Yao Yun did not answer, but asked rhetorically.
"Where is the strength?" The second elder Wu Tong was stunned. After thinking for a moment, he felt it was a bit difficult to describe. Then he looked at his disciple Sun Muyue, the Prime Minister beside him, and said: "Muyue, as the Prime Minister of the Xi Kingdom, you
Tell me, what is the strong point of Xi State’s system?”
The teacher did not dare to disobey the order, so Sun Muyue immediately stood up and said: "Yes~ but my disciple is not very talented and has little knowledge. I still ask your Majesty and Master for advice. I believe that the Xi Kingdom is fundamentally different from other vassal states in three points.
First, the well fields were abandoned and the fields were equalized. The people had their own fields, and each one worked hard and worked hard;
Secondly, after the slave system was reformed, the slaves had the hope of promotion, and each of them worked extra hard, no worse than the common people;
Among them, Tianwen College, where a hundred schools of thought contended, the king once said that education prospers a country. Since the Xi Kingdom created paper, the elementary schools of Xi Kingdom have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Among them, Tianwen College is the most popular. A hundred schools of thought contend, and every year it trains students.
Countless talented people, officials who govern a country, skilled craftsmen, and spiritual practitioners, are constantly emerging."
As the Prime Minister of the country, Sun Muyue has a high level of knowledge. Although she was not able to enumerate all the advantages of Xi Country, she could still get to the point and her eyes were quite vicious.
Land reform, slaves, and education are indeed the secrets of the rise of the Xi Kingdom.
"You're right, Prime Minister," Yao Yun commented.
The second elder, Wu Tong, was worried: "Your Majesty, I heard that since the spring of this year, Izumobo has delegated power to the Prime Minister Yun Zhonghe and made great efforts to reform the law. Do you think he will follow our Xiguo's example, succeed in reforming the law in one fell swoop, and then be promoted?
Among the feudal lords, fight against us!"
Compared with the worries of the second elder Wu Tong, Yao Yun was very relaxed when he heard the news: "If Izumo Country's reform is successful and its national power is greatly increased, it is not a big deal to be promoted to a feudal state. However, reform and innovation are not that easy.
Just wait and see, there are so many vassal states that are learning from us, and from an individual perspective, those who can succeed are very rare, not even one out of ten."
The second elder, Wu Tong, was a little surprised by the bald dragon: "Your Majesty, why are you so sure?"
"It's hard to get back. Most of the vassal states have been in power for hundreds or even thousands of years. During these long years, they have already formed their operating methods. Reform and innovation are bound to touch the interests of many people. The greater the pace of reform and innovation, the backlash will be
The greater the power, if any prince copies the system of Xi State and acts more radically, I am afraid that the country will be in turmoil."
Yao Yun has thousands of years of historical experience, has seen the rise and fall of countless dynasties, and has witnessed countless failed or successful reforms. He has long been accustomed to strange things.
Reform and revolution requires bloodshed and sacrifice, and requires changes that change the day. The best reform and innovation is in the early days of the country. Once it develops, vested interests are complicated, and reform and innovation are difficult.
The last time he was in an era, people had some objections to some of the practices of the founder of the country. As time went by, when the dynasty jumped over the traps and moved towards the top of the world, many people
Realizing the necessity of land reform, de-dependence and other measures in the early days of the Kingdom, I began to rejoice in Taizu's foresight.
When Yao Yun took over the Xi State, the Xi State was first established and various systems were not perfected. Yao Yun was aware of this, so even if the Second Elder and others did not agree with the slave reform and land reform, he still implemented it forcefully.
The land reform was okay, but the Xi Kingdom was poor and destitute. Apart from the second elder and a few old guys, the only remaining Qi Refiner was his retainer Cang Man. There was no major conflict of interest and Yao Yun could use it as he pleased.
The most difficult thing was the slave reform. Under normal circumstances, the princes exploited the slaves and squeezed out their labor surplus to cultivate the royal fields for the emperor, raise the army, and maintain the operation of the country.
Treating slaves preferentially and motivating slaves put a lot of financial pressure on Xi State. Yao Yun needed to find ways to get money and food from other places to maintain the operation of Xi State.
Fortunately, the country of Xi was rich in well salt and had a fairly stable income, which allowed Yao Yun to survive the crisis in the early days of the country.
This process was difficult. The second elder and others could not understand it at first. Yao Yun needed to be able to maintain it alone because he knew that if the top-level design of Guochu went astray, once the operation continued, it would be extremely difficult to turn around and innovate.
Already.
The second elders Wu Tong, Bald Long, Sun Muyue, Yanzhe Aqi and others listened to Yao Yun's story, and they all felt very sad immediately.
The second elder Wu Tong smiled with emotion: "Back then, I really didn't understand why the king carried out the slave reform, but he still didn't stop it, otherwise he would have become a sinner of the Xi Kingdom, and then he would not be able to see the emperor!"
