Mu, in the most ancient times, was recommended by Shun, and twelve of them were born.
These twelve people represent twelve powerful tribes, who guard the four directions of southeast, northwest and govern the four directions on behalf of the common master.
"The sage is one, he is the shepherd of the world, he upholds the great road, he is the shepherd of heaven and the people, he obeys the will of heaven and obeys the people."
"Indeed, the official position of Mu is inferior to that of the princes and has less power, but it can effectively manage the place. So, what is the need for the princes to exist?"
The Qi Master Conference was still going on in Hongzhou. The war in Lingnan ended like a thunderbolt, and the news was passed back to the land of Hongzhou. Then there was a discussion on whether the position of "prince" should continue to exist.
.
The princes were demoted to shepherds, half of the title of king was cancelled, and the size of the city-state and the upper limit of the number of people that could be mobilized were limited.
Although the princes in this era were not produced by the "feudal system", but were powerful leaders in various regions who were appointed princes by the Communist Party leader, in fact it was just an honorary title, but the idea of "abolition of princes and the establishment of village communities",
It spread like wildfire in the hearts of many wise men.
Zhuxia is a huge and vast alliance.
They had never thought or heard that such a huge land could one day be united.
"It ends at Fuluo Penglai in the east, Sanwei Quicksand in the west, Beihu Nanhai in the south, and the grassland desert in the north."
"It is impossible to manage such a huge land!"
"The alliance of Zhu Xia may only be a flash in the pan in the long river of history. Let's take a guess, how long will it last? Is it ten years or twenty years? It won't even last the first five years?"
"I can't imagine how to control such a huge and vast land! Even if we use pontoons to connect rivers and seas, even if we build roads to every corner of the world, the intensity of control will not increase much. Only the prosperous ones will
In terms of commerce and trade, even if the title of princes is abandoned now, won't those 'herders' in various lands become new 'princes' in the future?"
So someone stood up, faced everyone, and put forward his own opinions:
"So! Today's Zhuxia cannot use the past methods to control it! I believe that the establishment of 'Mu' is just the beginning of a new system. After Mu, we must keep up with the appropriate control policies, otherwise this alliance will soon be destroyed
collapse!"
"There must be strong constraints! The three-king system may not work, so there must be a peak."
"What are you talking about? Do you want an absolute emperor to be born in the world and everyone to worship him? Isn't this what we used to call the despised family world!"
"No, I mean, the culmination of options and abilities is the same."
"There is nothing different! The most unpredictable thing in the world is the people's hearts. You said that everyone should supervise the new emperor, but if the new emperor allows those who supervise to gain benefits, then those who supervise will support the new emperor.
Emperor, if the world is different, will there be a family world?"
The man who was speaking on the stage was kicked off by the scholars and sages around him. He muttered but still insisted on his own thoughts, and was dragged away for debate to reverse his wrong idea.
Someone pointed at the man who was taken away and explained to others: "I have heard the exact description of this kind of person in Hongzhou. People who want to make contributions will often assist an outstanding person they like."
The young man stood on the podium, saluted the people around him, and then expressed his thoughts:
"But human greed is endless. After seeking the position of righteousness, one must seek the position of a great leader. After seeking the position of a great leader, one must seek the position of a shepherd. After seeking the position of a shepherd, one must seek the princes and the three
The position of king!"
"The so-called 'Cong Long Zhi Gong' describes this kind of person! Because he can realize his ambitions and let everyone in the world see that he is a capable person, so once such a person is discovered, he must be stopped
His behavior changed his thinking and made him understand the benefits and harms brought about by this matter!"
"Everyone! Thought is an extremely powerful weapon! It controls people's behavior, extends people's desires, shows people's strength, and develops people's wisdom! It can help us look at the stars in the sky and the changes in the world. It also
To become a butcher's knife that kills thousands of people, all it takes is an idea, a reason to start a war, and a greedy person!"
"You don't know how to use thoughts to kill people! Because thoughts will hide behind the appearance of desire, greed, and cruelty, and use extremely high intelligence, trickery, and power to achieve the goals they want to achieve!"
"And sometimes, thoughts will slip from one extreme to another!"
The words of this new man who came to power aroused bursts of applause from the surrounding people. Even some experts and sages who preached in other places came here and listened to this man's arguments and thought that what he said was very reasonable.
"You have your own thoughts! Your words are very sharp! What is your name?"
Fuxi and Huangdi noticed this young man. Huangdi's lecture on chemistry had ended, and Fuxi's lecture on governance policies had also ended. The Qigong Master Conference lasted for a whole month. The lecturers not only promoted their own ideas, but also
Will listen to other people's ideas.
"I know you. You listened carefully in my class and completed the ideological questions I assigned excellently."
Fuxi recognized this man and had attended his course before, and was immediately very happy.
"Yes, I am from the Danyang family, my name is Mengtu, and I am from Ba."
Thoughts like stars were born in Hongzhou and spread in all directions. Its momentum is as unstoppable as the fire that burns the mountains and fields in spring.
Someone asked Yuan Zai what he thought of the future system, and Yuan Zai just smiled.
Pastoralism is a governance process that must be experienced. No matter how powerful a country or city is, the area it can directly rule and influence is ultimately limited. Even if more strongholds and roads are created to deepen communication with each other, people's hearts are ultimately good.
changing.
So, don’t be afraid and keep moving forward. The system will progress with the progress of the times and continue to develop and improve.
"The birth of the Zhuxia Alliance is different from the alliances in the past. Give me another ten years, and you will understand what I said, the meaning and reason of all this."
From the clan blood society of the Stone Age, to the age of all nations in the age of emperors, to the theocratic patriarchal slavery society, to the agricultural society with improved agricultural production, the final place we arrived at was the industrial society.
As production relations change, the organizational structure of society also changes.
It doesn't matter, there are so many policy cards, there is always one that suits us.
Even the smallest tribe hopes to be strong and prosperous.
Because all powerful things are weak in the beginning, the existence of the system is to make weak things become strong and to make powerful things become stronger.
Of course, if the system is not appropriate, something powerful may collapse, so you must be careful when choosing cards.
Many Qi refiners stayed in Hongzhou and did not leave. They became permanent residents of Jixia Academy. This is a good thing for many people, especially it improves the country's culture and cultural heritage, and Jixia Academy.
The reputation of the Lower Academy gradually spread, and it became a holy place respected by sages in the new era.
Here, you can learn all the knowledge in the world, from astronomy to geography, as difficult as mathematical calculations, as dangerous as chemical alchemy, and even learn card-playing skills here to dominate the wizarding world and become a duel king.
And playing cards is not just for entertainment. For wizards, at least the higher your ranking in the card playing world, the easier it is for you to receive divination work from others, and the price offered by the other party is also higher.
Therefore, when a wizard wants to take on the job of fortune telling, the payer will often check the wizard's level on the player's ranking column.
On the highest level, Gugu's name is clearly written.
"The strongest fortune teller is actually a little yellow chicken?"
"Don't underestimate that chicken. The most magical animal here in Hongzhou is the chicken. Not only can you see chickens playing cards, you can also see flying chickens holding swords, and you can even see internal combustion engines emitting fire and smoke.
Chickens, as well as white-haired chickens, and even colorful old hens that ward off evil spirits.”
A passerby in Hongzhou pointed to a steam tractor in action not far away. The tractor was driven by a red-feathered chicken.
In addition, the prosperity of Jixia Academy is only unfriendly to one type of people: primary school students.
Yan Rong and other primary school students expressed strong dissatisfaction with this because their workload has increased too much!
There are also new changes in Hongzhou, one of which is the addition of a huge shipyard.
Obviously, the large ships manufactured by this shipyard do not seem to be used to sail large rivers.
"We need to build a lot of boats so that river trade with the Baiyue region can begin. These boats are not used to sail in small rivers, but they need to be able to withstand the bumps of the waves in the sea."
In ancient times, the Yue people often went boating on the sea and were well versed in the nature of water. After Dayu controlled the floods, he dug and connected rivers in the Central Plains, forming an ancient water conservancy trade network.
So people in Huainan and Huaibei could come and go freely through the water network. Of course, this water conservancy network could no longer be used in the late Xia Dynasty. Large areas of rivers dried up and faded into land, and many connected places were no longer accessible.
Connected.
The flood season has faded, and flood control has achieved great results in recent years. Moreover, traveling by water is much more convenient and faster than traveling by land.
Moreover, a large number of shipbuilding is for the arrival of the Age of Discovery. Only a powerful and large fleet can maintain the rule of the Xia and overseas territories. For this reason, it is necessary to find the correct route. This is not what Dijiang can do.
It's been done.
You don’t need to worry too much when flying in the sky. There are strong wind feathers to block the storm, and you can come and go freely anywhere in the world. However, if you really want to turn a piece of land into your own territory, you must emphasize the commonality of culture and morality.
The commonality of etiquette and law.
Force is only a prerequisite for cultural integration. It is absolutely impossible and impossible to succeed just by using force to rule.
Yu Zai drew a map, which marked some overseas situations in the eastern region, which aroused the admiration of many Qigong practitioners in Jixia Academy. Although people from overseas often come to China, everyone has no idea about the situation outside the sea.
, there is still only a vague concept.
The opening of the Age of Discovery must have a guiding factor. At the earliest, there were only two factors. One was new territory, and the second was tons of wealth!
However, in ancient times, silver was not particularly valuable. Today, the mainstream metals that can be exchanged for Taobei are copper and gold.
Japan has a large number of silver mines, but this does not arouse the interest of people in the current era. The establishment of Zhuxia and such a huge territorial scope have made most people say "enough is enough"!
Therefore, now that Yu Zai proposes to build large ships, it is limited to trade with various overseas countries in the East China Sea region.
The adult kingdom of Bogu Mountain, the overseas Yanjang Kingdom, Doshu Kingdom, Hanyan Kingdom, Shijiu Kingdom, and the Sharren Kingdom in the South China Sea
At least this trade circle has been formed, and the initial purpose of shipbuilding has been achieved. As for the large number of ships going to sea a hundred years later, is it because of the discovery of the New World, the urgent need for certain resources, or the impulse of some people?
Greed, then, who knows?
Yu Zai has formulated the work and business priorities for the next few years at Laoyoufang. Shipbuilding is part of the work, and it does not require too many manpower. The important thing is to accumulate experience, and provide certain subsidies and discounts to improve shipbuilding.
The threshold of craftsmanship can prevent a large number of people from going to shipbuilding to get benefits, and at the same time ensure that those who stay will at least have certain technical capabilities.
"Then, to connect the north and south, the construction of bridges is necessary for small rivers. As for large rivers, at their current level, there is no way to build strong bridges on them. The hydrological environment in ancient times was different from that of later generations."
Of course, it is extremely difficult to build a huge bridge across the river with ordinary manpower. Even if divine power is used, it is still a huge project. After all, where can we find so many local wizards?
But Yu Zai can look for foreign aid.
The giants of the adult country are very good helpers, and they are also very close to here. After "Li Kui" capsized at sea, he was still able to swim to the shore with his bare hands, which is enough to show the ferocity of these giants.
If you want these giants to help, you just need to tell them that all products in the Hongzhou Small Commodity Wholesale Market are now on sale at 50% off.
Yuzai left Hongzhou and began to look for a geographical environment that could build a large bridge. At the same time, he sought help from the giants of the adult country.
The summer wind gradually subsides. Of course, the south is not particularly sensitive to autumn. After all, the north has four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter, while the south only has spring, summer and winter.
The years are changing rapidly, with new populations, new facilities, and new trade routes.
