Volume 12 Chapter 57 The reason for the outbreak of the Great Tribulation of the Gods is completely different from the original plot

Half a year later, Zhang Guifang and others who pacified Dongyi returned triumphantly and brought back news that Dongyi had been completely controlled by Hou Yi'e.

The king was overjoyed, and immediately issued an edict to establish Dongyi as the state of Qi, canonize Hou Yi as the king of Qi, and sent a minister who was a minister under Confucianism to go to Dongyi to assist Hou Yi with a decree to develop Dongyi.

The only thing that made King Su feel a little pity was that he didn't know what had happened in the past six months, and that Chang'e, who was originally unapologetic to Hou Yi, became Hou Yi's queen, which disappointed King Xu, who originally wanted to include Hou E in the harem.

But after all, he is not the king of the original plot, and he can't do anything to take it by force, so he has to put down the disappointment in his heart at the moment, but fortunately, there are empathetic, virtuous and virtuous women such as Hu Xian'er and Queen Jiang, who can bring him endless comfort.

At this time, Hu Xian'er is different from the nine-tailed fox who possessed Su Daji in the original plot, although she has a talent for charming, she only uses it to add interest in the pleasure of the boudoir, and never takes the initiative to charm the king, making him only obsessed with himself.

She and her two sisters only do their duty as wives, relieve pressure for their men, soothe their spirits, and maintain the harmony of the harem, so that the king does not have to worry about the harem at all, which can be described as a rare virtuous concubine.

After the establishment of the Qi State, Hou Yi appointed the people sent by the King of Zhou as the prime minister, and developed and built in full accordance with the will of the King of Zhou, not only vigorously developing the fishing and salt industry, but also implementing the land reform policy, freeing slaves as farmers and granting them land to work.

In just two years, the various ethnic groups in Dongyi have changed from the dilemma of having enough food and clothing to become rich, and the whole country of Qi is grateful to the king of Zhou.

Even the leaders of the various ethnic groups who were unruly and had to surrender due to force were happy and convinced, and secretly rejoiced in their hearts that they had surrendered to Hou Yi at the beginning.

There are too many drawbacks in the slave society, especially since it has developed so far, it has become the biggest shackle to the further development of the productive forces, and the inhuman life and cruel exploitation and abuse make the slaves hate forced labor very much.

They had no choice but to resist by means of passive sabotage, destruction of production tools, and abuse of livestock, and many of them boldly chose to flee directly, and many bankrupt commoners and small producers preferred to live on handouts rather than work for slave owners.

Although the Great Shang has abolished slavery, it is only limited to the Great Shang, but the Dongyi States and the princes of all parties are still the old system, and the new policy implemented by the King of Qi in the State of Qi has finally seen the light of day for the slaves who have been suffering for many years.

The main content of the new policy was to divide the land of Dongyi, most of which was nationalized, and a small part was owned by the small princes and lords, and at the same time, the slaves of all ethnic groups were relieved of their slave land, and slaves were turned into peasants, and land was given.

The condition was that the slaves had to complete the prescribed production tasks within one year, and if they could complete them, they would be immediately freed, and if they could not complete or were unwilling to do so, they could become the private slaves of the lords.

In order to further increase the motivation of the lords and slaves, the freed peasants were allowed to use the land they were given to work in the land, and 20% of the income from their labor was handed over to the original lord.

Twenty percent of the land is paid to the state tax, and the remaining sixty percent belongs to oneself, and the peasants' possession of the land is not permanent, but temporarily for 30 years, and as long as the specified annual harvest task can be completed, this period of possession can be increased every year, benefiting future generations.

If it cannot be completed due to passive slacking or laziness, the tenure of possession shall be reduced or even the land shall be recovered, and if the harvest is failed due to natural or man-made disasters, it shall be calculated separately.

In addition to the harvest of their own private land, the lords of each clan also enjoyed 20% of the harvest of the peasants, and their enjoyment of land and treatment was also limited by a time of 50 years.

If these slave lords were able to keep to themselves, obey the decrees issued by the state, and especially not exploit the peasants without permission and encroach on their land, then this authority could also be increased every year, and the state would have an additional reward every year.

If you have special merits or battle medals, you can also reward more land area while adding years.

Conversely, the offense is subject to the deduction of the additional harvest years and the area of the land, and in the case of a felony, the entire land is confiscated at the same time as the crime.

In short, as long as you are honest and obedient, you can basically enjoy these privileges forever, and if you don't listen, there is nothing.

The New Deal undoubtedly confiscated the largest private property, slaves, and land for the slave owners who had enslaved the people for many years.

When it was first implemented two years ago, it was naturally met with great resistance, but Qi was a defeated country, and Hou Yi and Chang'e firmly controlled the domestic situation with the garrison of Dashang, and also set up a strict supervision mechanism, and if there was a violation, it would be punished with a serious crime.

After destroying a few of the most rebellious archetypes, the lords had to give in to save their lives, but the economic benefits of this surrender were staggering.

With the power of freedom and land, the enthusiasm of slaves for production was unprecedentedly high, even the old, weak, sick and disabled were no exception, and the king of Qi adopted the policy of "repairing the government, because of its customs, simplifying its manners, trade and industry, and benefiting from fishing and salt", so that the Qi country developed rapidly, and gradually had the prototype of a rich country.

The standard of living of the upper and lower levels of Qi has greatly improved, and the lords have understood the benefits of the New Deal while living a luxurious life that they had only dreamed of before.

They only need to keep to themselves and continue to live this happy life, and a few people have to restrain their ambition and hatred under the control of force.

The new policy of land reform was a great success in the Qi state, and the king of Zhou decided to promote it throughout the territory of the Great Shang, including all the vassal states, but this laid the foundation for the rebellion of the princes.

The general trend of heaven and earth is unchangeable, and the Great Tribulation of the Gods will inevitably break out, but the cause of this outbreak is completely different.

In the original plot, it was because of the desolation and tyranny of the king of Zhou, and the bewitchment of demons, so that the world was in chaos, and the people were not able to make a living, and finally they were attacked by the princes with the righteous army, which opened the prelude to the catastrophe of the gods.

And now, it is because of the new policy of the king of Zhou, which benefits the country and the people, but shakes the interests of the princes.

What time in history has the law reform not been accompanied by war? However, once the new policy of the king is successfully implemented, it will be a great blessing to all the people of the world.

Longdeok Hall.

The king sat on the throne, quietly looked at the civil and military ministers under the main hall, and asked lightly: "Can the ministers have any objections?" If there is no objection, from tomorrow, the new policy will be fully implemented in the territory of Dashang. ”

Doctor Zhao Qisu is famous for his direct advice, and after thinking about it, he finally gritted his teeth and played: "The king, the minister has a song, and the king amnesties the slaves and grants the land, which is a merciful act." ”

"But as far as the ministers of the central court and the generals of the border passes, they were fundamentally shaken and suffered heavy losses, and the king was cold in the hearts of his courtiers because of his humble and hard servants. ”

Zhao Qi was the first bird, and many ministers immediately jumped out to second, and of course, opponents also immediately came out.

"Doctor Shang's words are wrong!"

The first one to come out against it was Fei Zhong, in the original plot, Fei Zhong and You Hun were really treacherous villains, flattering and bullying, and came up with many bad ideas for the king of Zhou that caused social turmoil, and colluded with Shen Gong Leopard Daji and others, and made great contributions to the burial of the big business foundation.

However, now, Fei Zhong and You Hun are Confucian protΓ©gΓ©s with strong roots, and the relationship with loyal ministers such as Shangrong Bigan is that of senior brothers.

Although they only learned Confucianism and the way of governing the country due to their qualifications, they did not practice the method of cultivation, but they were also ministers of the big businessmen with righteousness.

I only heard Fei Zhong shout with an awe-inspiring expression: "You don't see that the country of Qi was still a barren land in the past, and it has only been two years since the implementation of the new policy, and the success achieved is obvious to all, and now the country of Qi has become a rich country." ”

Even Donglu, which has been run by Dongbohou for many years, is inferior, and many Donglu people even ignore the strict orders and move their families to Qi. ”

"If the whole territory of our Great Business implements a new policy, it will not only save the world's suffering slaves from dire straits, but also make our Great Business National Strength several times stronger, and the world will be rich, which is really a holy move. ”

Fei Zhong's appearance was immediately seconded by You Hun and others.

Xiao Peng, who was in front of the Xuanguang Mirror, looked at this situation, and suddenly had a feeling that he couldn't cry or laugh, the notorious traitors in the original history were actually supporting the new policy for the benefit of the country and the people, but it was those loyal ministers who were opposed, this is really ...... It's a!

Fei Zhong and the others are not weak, Zhao Qi's power is not small, and Mei Bo is also a bold guy, and he even reprimanded Fei Zhong loudly: "Although the Qi State has achieved a little success as a new political state, after all, it is the law of governing the people, how can it be copied for the use of my big business?"

"You will be here to confuse the king, mislead the country and the people, and then the world will be in chaos, and there will be no regret. ”

?? Regarding Mei Bo's high profile, You Hun, who is also in Fei Zhong's camp, did not show weakness and shot back: "Mei Bo is alarmist and bold. ”

"The king once said that Dongyi has been renamed Qi, and that it is one of the vassal states under the jurisdiction of the Great Shang, and that it will always serve the Great Shang, and that there will be no difference between the merchants and the people from now on. ”

Mei Bo was speechless for a while, and the king was not in a hurry to punish the crime, but asked Wen Taishi and Prime Minister Shang Rong and Yabigan: "Sanqing is my minister, what do you think?"

"The king is the respect of the king, the old ministers and the generals are deeply favored by the king, and they dare not forget, my great merchant soldiers are all iron-blooded men, loyal, and only the king's holy will is obeyed. ”

Wen Taishi's words expressed the meaning of the military, and Shang Rong also agreed, and when the ministers heard it, their hearts suddenly cooled.

Bigan even said: "This matter is not trivial, if it is popularized in the world, it will also be difficult, not to mention that the situation in different countries is different, it is better to adapt measures to local conditions." ”

"The king may first implement a new policy in his jurisdiction, revise it according to its progress, and summon the four princes to the court to agree on the laws to be implemented in each locality. ”

What Bigan said is no longer a question of "agreeing or disagreeing", but the details of how to carry out and implement the New Deal.

Seeing that these three important ministers all agreed, the ministers knew that the general trend had gone, so they had to second, only Zhao Qi and Mei Bo and a few other old stubborns who were old and stubborn still insisted on their own views with "the law of the ancestors cannot be abolished" or "the foundation of the society cannot be shaken".
