Now that Xiqi has been pacified, it doesn't really matter who rescued Ji Fa, the most important thing is that he has now reversed the general trend in the world of Conferred Gods, and he will not dare to relax in the future.

Because the next step must be prepared. After all, the west, south, and north have been completely pacified, and the war between Jiang Hengchu and Baiyue should also stop.

Although Jiang Hengchu didn't directly rebel, but at the most critical moment, he actually attacked Baiyue, so if Ji Fa wiped out Da Shang, he would be considered a hero, after all, he contained Baiyue.

And if Ji Fa failed, the battle between him and Baiyue would be nothing more than a battle between princes, but who would have thought that now Li Zhi could easily turn the situation around.

Although Yue Linglong is the emperor's concubine, Jiang Hengchu's status is not simple, she is also the status of the head of the country. Some crimes should not be punished too severely. Now that he knows how powerful Li Zhi is, Jiang Hengchu has to weigh it carefully How should I go.

After Ji Fa died, Li Zhi led the army back to Chaoge. Chaoge was already cheering. Originally, many soldiers and residents were ready to fight, but they were still very relieved in their hearts.

The changes in the city, the advent of the steam age, brought convenience to the city, and also brought them full confidence. Of course, they were very happy after this victory, and every household spontaneously put up lanterns and festoons.

After discovering that Li Zhi had returned, the people in the city came out to greet him, knelt down on both sides, shouted long live, and felt very good looking at Li Zhi below, as expected, human beings have wars.

War brings pain to human beings. In war, many people will be trampled. They are all winners and losers. In history, King Zhou also had shortcomings, but he is definitely not a tyrant like the historical records, and he is quite talented.

The so-called wine pool and meat forest were all fabricated by the later Western Zhou Dynasty. Now Ji Fa's reputation for issuing edicts to the big merchants is not much, and those reputations in the world of the original gods are not considered in Li Zhi's opinion. What.

"Listen to women's words, don't pay attention to sacrifices, and use slaves."

These completely demonized King Zhou. In later generations, Daji was blamed for all the chaos in the country. In this way, King Zhou and Daji became eternal sinners and received eternal infamy.

But in any case, the winner is generally just.

Li Zhi won this battle, turned his fate around, and also blessed and protected King Zhou's reputation in this world. As for how Ji Fa wrote it, that was Li Zhi's concern.

It's what those historians should have written. In this era, the idiom of helping the tyrants to abuse should never appear again.

After everything subsides, the killings in the world should be over. Although a dynasty may not be eternal, there will always be a day of decline.

After this catastrophe, the people will definitely be able to live and work in peace and contentment for hundreds of years. This is also a meritorious deed. After returning to Chaoge's palace, Li Zhi quickly issued an edict.

Chapter 1558 It's time to deal with Jiang Hengchu

The edict was spread all over the world: the traitor Ji Fa died, the northern and southern armies surrendered, and at the same time the northern and southern armies were integrated, and soldiers and horses were dispatched to the northwest and south to accept the land and clear away the remnants.

Li Zhi is determined to take this opportunity to abolish enfeoffment and slavery. After all, both enfeoffment and slavery affect social progress. Huang Feihu was re-appointed as King Wucheng, and the object of his marriage was Bigan's daughter.

Official Yang Ren was restored to his post, and he bestowed the loyal and courageous ministers written by the emperor, like a gold medal to avoid death, and gave Yang Ren the elixir, which made Yang Ren's severed arm grow back again, and all the ministers who had meritorious deeds were rewarded .

Of course, those dead and wounded heroic souls set up heroic monuments to comfort those who died in the war. Li Zhi issued another edict, ordering Wen Taishi to be Marshal Pingdong, and went to the east to collect the rebellious souls. Power, the main target is actually Jiang Hengchu.

On the other hand, Jiang Wenhuan knew about this, and he wanted to be a vanguard officer for everything, because he had been suppressed all the time, and he felt very uncomfortable in his heart. His Jiang family had a reputation of being unfaithful, so he was willing to fight for the main battle this time. pioneer.

Li Zhi ordered him to go out together as the deputy marshal. This time the rebels failed in the Battle of Muye, and the recovered land began to be organized, with almost no resistance.

In the land recovered by the big merchants, except for some who voluntarily served as domestic slaves, almost all the slaves were released, and the land and property were also distributed. All these are the new policies originally proposed by Li Zhi.

Those slaves who got the land, those people who have been liberated, not only got the land and freedom, but also felt the dignity of being a human being, so they went to ask for the ID card of the big business.

In the direction of Chaoge, the power of faith poured into Li Zhi's body like flowing water. Although the power of faith was very good, Li Zhi found that it was not very helpful for cultivation.

Up to now, the power of faith in Li Zhi's body has reached a terrifying level, and countless powers of faith poured into his body mightily.

Not only that, Li Zhi also developed some economic policies.

At that time, Xiqi was suppressed by Li Zhi's economic tactics. At that time, Li Zhi developed national bonds. After Xiqi was fooled by Li Zhi, many slave owners and Western big families spent a lot of money to buy them.

This time Ji Fa was defeated and died, and now they can be said to have lost all their blood. All the conflicts were concentrated in Xiqi Ji Fa's family. Although Ji Fa was dead, there were still Ji Fa's brothers.

If Xiqi hadn't been controlled by the people sent by Huang Feihu, there would have been conflicts. After hearing so much news, Mrs. Taisu couldn't afford to fall ill and died immediately.

Not long after, the Great Merchant's army came to Xiqi, took direct control of Xiqi, and brought the emperor's will: Ji Fa was so rebellious that he violated the authority of the emperor as a rebel, and offended the prestige of the emperor. He killed his father and brother, imprisoned his biological mother, and now suppressed the rebels of Ji Fa's clan to Chaoge. After hearing it, he will be punished!

This imperial decree also announced that the Ji family that had been entrenched in Xiqi for many years was completely uprooted, and the army of Dashang also imprisoned Ji Fa's family, but the people of Xiqi were very relieved, because the emperor didn't even think about dealing with them. The people of Xiqi are innocent.

Not only that, but they also liberated their slave status and distributed the land. While the various places were under control, Wen Zhong and Jiang Wenhuan also began to rush to the east.

Chapter 1559 Centralization

At this time, Jiang Hengchu knew that Ji Fa had failed, so he immediately stopped using troops against Baiyue. After the battle of Muye, Jiang Hengchu knew that the Emperor was terrible. After he stopped marching this time, he hid directly at home.

Because he knew his own affairs, the emperor probably knew everything about him, but Jiang Hengchu couldn't escape. After the army of the great merchants went to the east to wipe out the princes, they finally pointed to the east.

The rest of the southern, western, and northern princes disintegrated, but Jiang Hengchu was the head of the four princes. Wen Zhong didn't attack at the beginning, but went to court first and then soldiers. .

In fact, besides the imperial decree, there is also a secret decree. If it was before, Jiang Hengchu was very happy to see his son, but now his son came as an imperial envoy, and when they met, he could only behave like a monarch and minister.

The two didn't know what to talk about.

Jiang Hengchu refused to go to court song on the grounds of illness, but made a decree, please present it to the emperor.

This decree analyzed the shortcomings of the princes, strictly speaking, the chaos in the world is just the old system of the princes, and it is the opposite of the traitor Ji Fa.

Now the rebels must not repeat the same mistakes. The emperor implemented the new policy and completely abolished the enfeoffment system. Jiang Hengchu also greatly appreciated this strategy, and was willing to hand over the power to Jiang Wenhuan and Wen Zhong to show his desire for reform and resigned from Dong Bohou's position.

After seeing the memorial, the emperor thought about it, discussed it with the officials, and finally combined with Jiang Hengchu's point of view, this time Ji Fa's rebellion confirmed the restructuring of the society. It's all very meaningful.

Directly let the big merchants successfully carry out reforms. Except for the perishing Ji Fa, the four princes headed by Jiang Hengchu were the four princes. After he proposed reforms, he gave up the position of princes, which had a great influence.

The most important thing is that Li Zhi's reputation in that battle in Muye was too great, everyone in the world admired him, and admired the Emperor, who would dare to resist?To resist is to die!

I didn't see that the Emperor Renmin destroyed a million troops with one sword, or recovered a million troops with one sword. The four powerful princes in the past were all wiped out and killed, or they voluntarily surrendered, and the remnants of those princes were also destroyed. Went out.

Now is the best time for reform. Under this premise, after some discussion, Li Zhi finally made a new deal and abolished the enfeoffment system.

First, abolish the enfeoffment system and divide the land into counties, counties, townships, and neighbors. Four families are the only neighbors, five neighbors are one treasure, five guarantees are one li, and five lis are one township.

The second is to abolish slavery, release all slaves, combine the New Deal and slavery, distribute land to farmers, and focus on the individual system, where individuals plant land and turn over national grain, which has served the country.

Third, reform official positions, set up three provinces and six departments, directly improve the three provinces and six departments, and implement them nationwide. Originally, Li Zhi used three provinces and six departments, the Zhongshu Province, the Menxia Province, and the Shangshu Province. Ministry, Ministry of Officials, Ministry of War.

The functions of the six ministries are different. For example, the Ministry of Officials is in charge of the transfer and assessment of officials across the country, etc. The Ministry of Households is in charge of household registration and taxes across the country. - Law, and the Ministry of Industry is in charge of water conservancy, transportation and Kit Kat.

What Li Zhi set up was somewhat similar to that of the Tang Dynasty, using many special systems and so on. In addition, he also customized a measure to punish corrupt officials, and the related punishment measures were imitated in the Ming Dynasty.

Chapter 1560 I am willing to serve Dashang for another 30 years

why?Because the Ming Dynasty relied on a Ming Dynasty law, there were no corrupt officials in the entire dynasty. This shows that the strict criminal law is definitely of great help to corruption.

The fourth point is to appoint virtuous people as officials, regardless of their background, set up an assessment system every year, and recruit useful people from all over the world, not limited to civil and military, and open schools.

Those schools were set up by Li Zhi and funded by the state. Regardless of one's background, one can study after paying a small amount of money, and the learning content is also very rich, such as arithmetic, literature, agriculture, business, etc. Have.

Sixth, seventh, eighth.

These reforms have brought about earth-shaking changes in the entire society, allowing the entire society to develop rapidly. In fact, when the New Deal was implemented, the layout of the feudal system to replace the slave-slavery system had been laid.

The most important thing is to establish an effective centralization of power. Now the centralization of power is represented by the system of three provinces and six ministries, which controls the power of the whole country, and at the same time allows officials to supervise and check each other to prevent courtiers from dominating the government.

And for those slaves and civilians, they have obtained more precious land and their freedom, and it is all the people who support these reforms.

With Li Zhi's current prestige and the control over the localities, the resistance to this reform is much smaller than the last time when the New Deal was implemented, and there is even a big difference. This time there is almost no obstacle.

Of course, there are still minor problems, which also make Li Zhi very painful and headache, but fortunately, Li Zhi has many useful civil and military ministers, and there are also those people who support him, and Li Zhi has insight and knowledge from the future .

These problems were gradually solved by him. Li Zhi appointed Yin Jiao as the prince and participated in current affairs on weekdays. Now that Shang Rong is getting old, Wen Zhong also wants to fade out. Fortunately, old man Bigan is getting more and more energetic. After all As an immortal body.

In Bigan's words: "I am willing to serve Dashang for another 30 years!"

Hearing these words, Li Zhi almost fainted. He didn't know if Dashang could survive for 30 years. Anyway, Li Zhi knew that, based on the blood energy in Bi Gan, it shouldn't be a matter of how many 10 years Bi Gan lived. question.

Under Li Zhi's special care, Bigan now has the strength of a prince-level blood family, and there are countless literati under him, like Yang Ren, they are all very talented people, even Huang Feihu and others among the generals are also Talented people.

They will all become the mainstay of the big business, like Fei Zhong and You Hun, under such a powerful supervision mechanism, they are greedy and cautious, and of course they dare not make any mistakes.

In fact, Li Zhi doesn't pay too much attention to corruption. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. You can be greedy, but at the same time you are greedy, you have to do things for the people, and you have to do things for the people. There is no conflict, you have done things well, and you are greedy for things that don't matter.

Li Zhi did not execute Ji Fa's family members, but demoted most of them to civilians and gave him land to make his living. This decision surprised Ji Fa's brothers. They thought it was a certain death situation, but now they are all grateful.

As for Taisu, Li Zhi thought about it, after all, Taisu was his own aunt, and it would be a good situation if she was granted a very high title directly.

Chapter 1561 Ask Jiang Ziya

Originally, according to Ji Fa's crimes, it would not be a big deal to copy and kill all the families and exterminate the ten clans, but the lenient benevolence of the Emperor made Ji Fa's relatives grateful, and Li Zhi found that among Ji Fa's brothers and sisters, the talented Several are indeed among them.

Ji Dan was also among them. Ji Dan was very talented in history. After Li Zhi realized this, he directly approached Ji Dan. .

In the early years, Ji Dan discovered that when Da Shang wrote the Four Letters of Merit and Virtue, many ideas in his heart were in line, and even more perfect, so he admired him, but because of Ji Fa, he couldn't do it.

After talking with Li Zhi all night long, Ji Dan finally surrendered to Li Zhi with great admiration, and Li Zhi also reused Ji Dan. Ji Dan found that in Renhuang, he didn't feel the jealousy like Ji Fa, but made him feel very jealous. is admiration,

In other words, a person with excellent mind and talent like Ren Huang doesn't need to be jealous of others at all, so he can make good use of his talents. For grades, check for a period of time first.

This kind of talent is also needed at the grassroots level. Of course, this kind of person will also be the target of promotion in the future. The famous Zhou Gong in history can be considered to have met Bole, and he was not buried in the end and showed his true talent. Ji Dan is indeed a usable person.

The disposal of the captives made Li Zhi think for a long time. Chaoge Muye was also a part of the original Conferred God World, and it was so peaceful now. However, in Jiang Ziya's mind, the scene of that one person fighting against a million troops was very clear.

Afterwards, the two places in the north and the south were unbelievable. In contrast, being caught by Huang Feihu and hearing the news of Ji Fa's death, he was completely numb: "Jiang Ziya, I ask you, are you a fairy?"

A voice appeared from Jiang Ziya's memory. This man also created a miracle, which also made Jiang Ziya suspicious of the saint. Didn't the saint say it?

Xiqi is the Holy Lord, and Ji Fa is the co-lord of the world. After destroying the Great Shang, he deserves the position of Emperor, and replaces the Great Shang as the number one in the continent. Now what?Even though Ji Fa is dead, Da Shang is still determined not to fall. Could it be that the sage has miscalculated?

If he hadn't given up the position of Prime Minister Chaoge at the beginning, Jiang Ziya thought in his heart, but he didn't dare to be negligent: "Your Majesty, the master said that criminals are born with a low life and cannot become immortals. They can only enjoy the wealth and honor in the world. Not a fairy."

Li Zhi continued: "In this case, why did the saint accept you as a disciple?"

Jiang Ziya shook his head, and then he heard Renhuang say: "I heard from a sage that the reason why Yuanshi Tianzun took you in is because you have a special destiny, and you are a person who can be conferred a god.

Therefore, he preemptively accepted you as his apprentice, making the list of gods fall into the hands of Chanjiao, otherwise, why would Yuanshi Tianzun take a fancy to you, a person who has no celestial fate? "

Jiang Ziya had heard about the matter of conferring the gods. Seeing that the Emperor knew so many secrets, and hearing the reason why Yuanshi Tianzun accepted his disciples, he remained silent.

"Jiang Ziya, I ask you, what do you think of the New Deal implemented by the widow?"

In this regard, Jiang Ziya said with admiration: "The new policy is really proposed by a man of God."

This is definitely not his intentional flattery. In all honesty, this Human Sovereign is really a wise king through the ages. This Human Sovereign entrusted him with great use as a sorcerer, and he actually chose to defect.

Chapter 1562 You and I Are Human After All

Li Zhi sighed: "Although I have won the conquest against the merchants, the people have also suffered from the conquest. What I hope is that the people will live and work in peace and contentment, that the war will no longer be chaotic, and that they don't have to sacrifice their lives for reasons under the law of heaven."

Jiang Ziya heard the word "Tiandao", his face was contemplative, thinking of the chaos caused by Xiqi this time, he was calm in his heart, and saluted sincerely: "Your Majesty is right, Your Majesty is wise!"

Li Zhi sighed suddenly and said: "Jiang Ziya, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart, the matter of conferring the gods has a lot to do with it, and it affects the whole body. Born out of interest.

You have to recognize the authenticity of anyone in any position. You can benefit this matter, otherwise it will harm you for thousands of years. You must maintain a fair heart and not have selfishness. "

How does the Emperor know so many things?Jiang Ziya became more and more astonished, and felt that Renhuang's words were contagious, which made him feel a sense of approval in his heart.

Li Zhi said to Jiang Ziya: "I just want you to remember one sentence, no matter what, you and I are human after all, real human beings."

After Jiang Ziya was shocked, he looked at Li Zhi's gaze again, and suddenly felt that it coincided with the thoughts hidden in his heart. He didn't know if it was these words, or he thought so himself.

Li Zhi talked eloquently, and after talking for a while, Jiang Ziya nodded endlessly. Li Zhi smiled slightly when he saw this: "The widow is appointing a virtuous minister. I knew before that you betrayed because of the sage. With your talent, you can be listed among the three provinces and six departments." hold an important position.

It's just that you still have the important task of enshrining the gods, so stay here temporarily, if you are willing to wait, after you are enshrined as the gods, you can choose an important position among the six departments in the three provinces. "

After Jiang Ziya heard these words, he was overjoyed, grateful in his heart, and thanked the Emperor directly. The Master Tongtian said that Jiang Ziya came out in response to the catastrophe. He is the man of destiny, and there is no way to replace him, otherwise it will affect Heaven.

Unless there is a magic whip, but it is hard to say whether the magic whip can be obtained now. Just in case, Li Zhi should do Jiang Ziya's ideological work first. Of course, Li Zhi still has to use those methods.

When Li Zhi returned to Tokyo, he saw Fei Lian and the others coming back. Fei Lian and the others knelt down on the ground and called their lord, Fei Lian was really smart. Li Zhi admired him for making Ji Fa and the others dizzy. In the end, he had to trust him so that Li Zhi's plan could be realized.

In the end, Ji Fa couldn't bear the blow and jumped down from the top of the tower. Li Zhi glanced at the woman next to Fei Lian, and nodded slightly. When the two were about to salute, they got up as soon as Li Zhi waved his hand.
