Chapter 650: The Lord of Shang and the Divine Beast Zhu Yan
Chapter 650 Shang Jun and the Divine Beast Zhu Yan
It is extremely difficult for a marquis country to reform the country, which has a country of hundreds or even thousands of years. The birth of a new system will touch the interests of the huge gentry class, which will inevitably cause backlash from the old nobles.
The Xi Kingdom was able to carry out reforms and reforms to the Yuan Mo Kingdom and Shanyuan Kingdom because Yao Yun had several elite troops who obeyed him and millions of people who supported the Xi Kingdom system. Therefore, no matter how the gentry in the two places resisted, it would be useless. Under the iron cavalry, the power attacked, and whoever dared to resist would search the house.
Mo and Shanyuan were unable to withstand the cavalry of Xiguo, let alone a bunch of scattered sand and a mob. Yao Yun and Xiguo's will are the laws of nature, and those who violate it will die.
However, the reforms and reforms of other princes are different. A powerful man with divine power cannot hold his collar up to lift himself up, and the same is true for a vassal state.
The power of the king comes from the gentry below. Most of the ministers who hold important positions in the court come from the gentry. The generals of the elite troops under his command are also from the gentry. Some remote towns and cities are also controlled by the gentry. People only know the gentry and the gentry and the gentry and the gentry and the gentry and the gentry do not recognize the king.
If the gentry below supports the king, then the monarch will give the order and the power of the whole country will be vast and unstoppable. However, if all the gentry betrays the monarch, then no matter how ambitious the monarch is, he will not be able to do anything even if the monarch is wise and powerful.
This is also the reason why many vassal states followed the reform of Xi's country, but the signs of people's death and political recession have not yet emerged.
The Izumo Kingdom is a powerful Fangbo Kingdom, and it is only one step away from the Marquis Kingdom. The old gentry in the middle of the country is deeply rooted in it, and the road to reform and reform is extremely difficult. For this reason, the Izumo Kingdom chose another place and moved its capital.
The advantage of moving the capital is that the new country has no complicated interest disputes between the old gentry, and the resistance to reform and the backlash has greatly decreased. Izumoto can make drastic reforms, land reform, slave reform, and vigorously select and reuse new talents...
After the new country has developed for a few years, Izumoto supported a group of emerging gentry who supported reform and reform. With enough strength in his hands, he had the strength of comprehensive reform and reform.
After several years of slow journey, great things can be accomplished!
After hearing about the "transfer of capital to reform" in Izumo Kingdom, Yao Yun was slightly surprised and asked: "Who is the one who led the reform in Izumo Kingdom?"
Sun Muyue said: "Report to the king, this person is Yun Zhonghe, the prime minister of the Izumo Kingdom."
"This person is good!"
Yao Yun nodded slightly. The reform of Izumo Kingdom was quite similar to that of Shang Jun of Qin in the previous era. Shang Jun had made changes twice, reforming the household registration system for the first time, establishing a military merit system, abolishing the system of the descendants and the family wealth system, etc. The focus of the second reform was to move the capital.
Of course, the reason for the Izumo Kingdom moving the capital was not only for reform, but also for the sake of reform, but for the Xi Kingdom to swallow the Mo Kingdom. After the Yamao and the two countries, the Xi Kingdom and the Izumo Kingdom bordered a large area. The capital was too close to the territory of the Xi Kingdom, so the Izumo Kingdom could not sleep at night.
Especially Bailihuang led his troops to guard the border of Izumo. His command "Phoenix Emperor" was advancing to the elite troops of the fifth-grade country. Although it was far inferior to the elite troops of the fifth-grade country of Chu Yue and Wu, it was still no problem to deal with the [Linghe Feather Guard].
Under the intimidation of the strong enemy, Izumo Kingdom moved the capital around Mengze Lake, and Xindu was across the lake from Wu and Yue countries. At that time, even if Xi Kingdom was facing the army, Izumo Kingdom would have backing up.
At the same time, Xindu's geographical location is more favorable than Yundu, with water and land routes, making it extremely suitable for development in Xindu.
The second elder Wu Tong: "King, did you say that Yun Kingdom can succeed in reforming the law?"
Yao Yun looked at the reforms and reforms of Izumo Kingdom over the past six months and immediately smiled: "If it is a Fang Bo Kingdom, the one who can succeed in the reforms of the Hou Kingdom, is probably the one who must be Izumo Kingdom. Yun Zhonghe is indeed a capable minister who can do great things."
The second elder, Bald Long and others were quite surprised that Yao Yun looked up to Yun Zhonghe so highly.
Yao Yun said this, but he felt quite sighing: "It's a pity for Yun Zhonghe. I wonder if he will repeat the mistakes of Shang Jun..."
At present, Yun Zhonghe's reforms are the most thorough and most likely to be successful, but because they are too "complete", he almost offended the interests of all the gentry of Izumo Kingdom to a greater or lesser extent.
In this way, he had two results. One was the failure of the reform and the destruction of the people, and the second was the unprecedented success of the reform. He gained supreme reputation and power, his achievements were high and his last days were desolate.
The best result is to retreat bravely and leave after the matter is done.
However, how many people in the world can retreat bravely, abandon wealth and glory, and abandon their foundation for hard work?
After discussing the situation in the southern desert again, Yao Yun focused on the country, especially farming matters everywhere. No matter when, agriculture is the foundation of the country.
Yao Yun, the native of Xiguo, was not worried, but Mo and Shanyuan counties did not know how the situation in the fields this year.
"What is the situation in Mo County and Shanyuan County? The supply of agricultural tools is complete, and the land is reclaimed?"
Yanzhe Aqi took the post at this time and reported: "Returning to the king, Xidu, Leave the city, Baima ironworks and farm tools factories were prepared and sufficient. The people of both places rented farm tools, distributed excellent varieties, and sent farmers who were proficient in farming to guide them. Now, the crops in Mo County and Shanyuan County are growing well. According to Tianwen's disciples, the yield of the two places is more than two stones per mu, which is another bumper year."
Sun Muyue also responded: "King, the grain yield per mu on both sides of the Chishui River is also expected to break through, from three to four stones to four or five stones."
When Yao Yun heard this, his eyes lit up: "Have you discovered something new in Tianwen Academy?"
Yanzhe Aqi said: "That is, Tianwen has a secret technique [Grievance Technique]. This secret technique can improve the seeds of hundreds of grains and make crops more productive. This year, with the efforts of a group of Tianwen disciples, the secret technique has made some breakthroughs."
"No, not bad, I'll go to Tianwen Academy on my own day and reward it." Seed breeding and cultivation are one of the only ways to increase grain output, and Yao Yun attaches great importance to it.
Just as everyone was talking, there was an urgent report from a soldier outside the Fenghuang Palace.
"Report! The king, Lord Hu Yi, came the extreme report. The Western Wilderness discovered the divine beast Zhu Yan. Emperor Mu told all the princes from the Western Wilderness to be careful! "
When the second elder Wu Tong heard this, he was shocked: "Zhu Yan, this is an ominous sign. This divine beast is born by devouring the killing energy. Every time the world is in the battle, this beast will appear. King, this beast appears in the Western Wilderness, and there may be wars in the west."
