"These reforms will help our Shang Dynasty to become more powerful and make people live better. Why can't they be implemented? I think it's because these systems have shaken your interests. I'm going to revise this reform today!" Di Xin stood up and said sharply .
"Your Majesty, this law is absolutely unacceptable. Prime Minister Shang is right, how can the law of the ancestors be changed easily, this shakes the foundation of the country!" Bigan also knelt down to advise.
"Uncle Emperor, I've made up my mind on this matter, and no one can stop me! Prime Minister Su and I have finalized these reforms, just wait and see the results!" Di Xin waved his hand, this is the explanation he gave.
But this explanation can't calm the restlessness of the officials and the princes at all.
Di Xin didn't care too much, he got up and left, leaving all the ministers looking at each other in blank dismay, anyway, I have issued the decree, let you say it!
"The witch is wronging the country! The witch is wronging the country!" After Di Xin left, Shang Rong was filled with grief and indignation, tears running down his face.
The rest of the ministers were also talking about it.
After the ministers dispersed, within half a day, Di Xin's deeds in the palace were spread to the market, causing an uproar.
"Is there something wrong with your majesty? Why did you issue such a decree? Tax reform? No serfs are allowed. Isn't this going to cut off our people's way of life?"
"I've heard! These demonic words were all made by Su Xiaoli who entered the palace. I think she is a demon girl who will bring disaster to the country!"
"It's not just her, the rest are not much better! A group of goblins are officials and important ministers. Can this society not be chaotic?"
"It really makes no sense!"
Where do the common people know good or bad, they also follow what others say.
What's more, these news were released by those high-ranking officials, who specifically picked out the bad things to say, in order to arouse public anger and make Di Xin take back his life.
This rumor is getting more and more outrageous.
At this moment in Chentang Pass, Li Jing also received a report sent by a fast horse. When he finished reading it, Li Jing frowned.
"What are you doing, Your Majesty! You actually want to use the law of your ancestors. Daoist Taiyi once said that Nezha was the vanguard of conquering merchants. Could it be that the Shang Dynasty is really going to be in chaos?"
But even if Li Jing was worried, it was useless.
In addition, the four princes of the southeast, northwest and north also gathered in one hall.
"Gentlemen, what do you think of the king's move to move the ancestral system?" Xibo Hou Jichang had a kind face, showing benevolence and righteousness.
"We are ministers of the Shang Dynasty, and we respect the emperor first. If the king wants to change the system, I will listen to it." Dong Bohou Jiang Huanchu said.
His daughter is Empress Jiang from the harem, and naturally flocks to the King of Shang.
The other two princes did not speak or express their opinions.
Seeing this, Ji Chang said: "You should know, I know a little bit about gossip, and I figured out that there may be a big change in business, and this time the king wants to change the system, which shows the problem. And the king is likely to attack our princes. Everyone be careful."
There was a strange look in the eyes of the other three princes, but Ji Chang had an obscure smile in his eyes.
Royal study.
Di Xin, Su Xiaoli and Yang Jiao are all inside.
"Sister, although the new system we are studying is good, it is definitely not well accepted by the common people. Now there is a lot of scolding in the public. I am afraid that some people will have objections and be too impatient." Wang Xiaoxian worried.
Chapter 213 Three Mountain Pass
Although Wang Xiaoxian doesn't understand politics, it doesn't mean she can't see anything.
The officials in the palace objected, and the princes were silent, which can explain the problem.
Now they are reduced to witches.
"I know about these problems, but Grandpa Chen told us to be quick. We are not fighting with ministers or princes, but with heaven!" Di Xin said in a deep voice with his hands behind his back.
"Grandpa said that the prosperity of the people is suffering, and the death of the people is suffering, it is they who suffer!" Su Xiaoli sighed, and then said: "Today I met the princes of the four directions, the king must pay attention to Ji Chang!"
"Ji Chang?" Di Xin narrowed his eyes, and said, "Xibo Hou Ji Chang has a good reputation and has a good strategy in governing his territory. Small!"
"Grandpa once asked me, who is more terrifying in this world, the real villain or the hypocrite! What do you think, my lord?" Su Xiaoli smiled.
"Hypocrite!" Di Xin replied.
"That's right, the real villain dares to come out, but the hypocrite stabs the knife in the back and makes people hard to guard against. If Ji Chang is really benevolent, then he can govern Xiqi well? The so-called kindness does not control soldiers, righteousness does not control wealth, and love does not stand up , Kindness is not an official! His benevolence and righteousness are just pretending to be seen by others." Su Xiaoli said coldly.
"He has acted like this for decades, so it can be seen that this person has a big plan! We have to guard against it!"
Di Xin was moved by it, and pondered for a moment: "This person cannot stay!"
However, Su Xiaoli shook his head, and said with a smile: "I heard from my grandfather that Xibohou is the key against the sky. He is a man of fate, and he cannot be killed. After killing him, the situation will be more difficult to control. Grandpa also suggested that we should look for opportunities first." Lock up Ji Chang for eight or nine years!"
Di Xin responded immediately: "Okay!"
Then he asked again: "What about the other princes?"
"Let them go back. Let's follow the plan step by step. We must not make any mistakes. This is related to the rise of humanity." Su Xiaoli said solemnly.
Di Xin nodded heavily.
On the second day, Di Xin announced that he would measure the cultivated land.
This immediately attracted a backlash from the scholar-bureaucrats.
Measure arable land?
Cultivated land has always been the main source of tax revenue. Which of the literati and landlords did not lie to themselves about the amount of arable land?
This is tax evasion. As a result, the king of Shang wants to measure and calculate the land. Isn't that just cutting their flesh?
This kind of thing is definitely opposed.
In the hall, I don't know how many scholar-bureaucrats spoke out about various abuses. The prime ministers Shang Rong and Bigan also tried their best to dissuade Di Xin, but no one could persuade Di Xin.
In order to measure the land, Di Xin also allowed Su Xiaoli to directly call the Yulin Army to thoroughly investigate the conditions of the cultivated land around Chaoge.
This is even more remarkable.
Those scholar-bureaucrats had no choice, so they released the news to the people again, and said that if the king was allowed to measure the land, then the tax would have to increase several times in the future.
As a result, the people became even more excited, and what's more, a group of people knelt at the gate of the palace, begging Di Xin to take back his order.
Looking at this scene, Di Xin let out a long sigh.
"Throughout the ages, the common people are the most easily deceived group of people. If you can read some books, why are you here!"
"My lord, now papermaking and movable type printing are almost completed, and there will be no shortage of paper and classics in the future." Yang Jiao said.
"My lord, I have already cultivated high-quality crops, and with the addition of the chemical fertilizer urea I extracted, the crop harvest will be at least three times higher in the future. As long as the land measurement is completed, it will be the cultivation period." Wang Xiaoxianhui reported.
This is also the fundamental reason why Di Xin wanted to measure the land as soon as possible.
"Your Majesty, my medical book has also been compiled and disassembled. From now on, all doctors will be divided into specialized categories, and women can also study medicine." Hu Ximei said on the side.
And Su Xiaoli is not here, she is in front of a group of Imperial Forest Army.
And beside her was Wu Cheng Wang Huang Feihu.
"This tool, called a tape measure, was created by Dean Yang. The method is very simple. You only need two people to work together to measure one side. Come out and demonstrate." Su Xiaoli said.
As a result, there was no movement in the Royal Forest Army, and Su Xiaoli looked at Su Xiaoli with disdain.
They have also heard about this right-hand woman, and most of them are promiscuous with the king day in and day out to confuse the crowd.
"Come out and demonstrate." Su Xiaoli continued.
At this time, a frivolous voice came from the crowd: "The mission of our Imperial Forest Army is to protect the king, not to measure any land."
"King Wu Cheng, Your Majesty said that today the Imperial Forest Army will be handed over to me to command. What should we do with such people who talk nonsense?" Su Xiaoli said coldly.
The expression of the soldier who spoke changed slightly.
"The person who spoke just now, drag him out to hit fifty big boards!" Huang Feihu waved his hand helplessly.
In fact, Huang Feihu also felt that Di Xin's arrangement was inappropriate.
Especially when he heard that the Imperial Forest Army was going to be handed over to this right minister in front of him, he felt even more uncomfortable.
But Huang Feihu is definitely a loyal person, so he would not disobey Emperor Xin's order, otherwise he would not be standing here.
After that person was dragged out, Su Xiaoli said again: "Then King Wu Cheng, what should people do if they don't obey orders?"
Huang Feihu's complexion changed slightly, he was leading the Imperial Forest Army, if everyone was punished by Su Xiaoli, his prestige would definitely drop.
Fortunately, Su Xiaoli said at this time: "I think you have something important to do at this time, so let's expose this matter for the time being. If anyone refuses to obey the order, he will be executed!"
When he said cut, Su Xiaoli felt cold all over his body.
Even Huang Feihu's hairs stood on end.
Because he just felt the majesty of iron and blood, but this kind of majesty should be possessed by the kind of people who have been fighting for a long time.
He didn't know that in order to sharpen Su Xiaoli and enhance her ability as a commander, Chen Xuan had let her fight tens of thousands of times on the human battlefield!
Even a general like Huang Feihu is a younger brother in front of Su Xiaoli when it comes to leading troops in battle.
"Did you hear Prime Minister Su's order? Let me move!" Huang Feihu snarled, and the soldiers started to learn the tape measure, but of course they were very reluctant.
When Huang Feihu and Su Xiaoli led a group of people to start measuring the land, Chen Xuan appeared at Sanshan Pass.
"That kid Kong Xuan seems to be the chief soldier at Sanshanguan, so let him do some work next." Chen Xuan murmured as he walked.
Sanshan Pass, like Chentang Pass, is one of the five passes of the Shang Dynasty. It is an important fortress pass, and it also has a garrison of [-] troops.
Walking in, it is similar to a town.
Chen Xuan slowly arrived at the gate of Sanshan Pass.
I thought to myself, what would happen if Kong Xuan saw him?
As a result, when he arrived at the gate of the general's mansion, there was a young girl standing there, looking him up and down.
"May I ask what's the matter?" Yang Chan asked.
After leaving Chentang Pass, Yang Chan followed Kong Xuan to Sanshan Pass, but life was a bit boring.
The Taoist who appeared suddenly, with wicked eyebrows and mouse eyes, looked around, he didn't look like a good person!
Chapter 214
Although Chen Xuan used to live next door to the Yang family, Yang Chan, the youngest daughter of the Yang family, was quiet and didn't move around very often.
Now that a thousand years have passed, and Chen Xuan is dressed as a Taoist priest, it is normal for Yang Chan not to recognize him.
Of course, the Eighteenth Women's University has changed, not to mention that Yang Chan has disappeared for 1000 years, and Chen Xuan didn't recognize Yang Chan for a while.
"This is the place where Kong Xuan's little bird lives! Let Kong Xuan come out to see me!" Chen Xuan waved his hand and smiled.
"I said long, why are you swearing!" Yang Chan continued.
Although she has not been with her senior brother for a long time, Yang Chan still likes her senior brother very much, and she doesn't like others to speak ill of Kong Xuan.
"What curse, isn't Kong Xuan just a little bird in my eyes?" Chen Xuan was not angry either.
"Then you come with me." Yang Chan rolled his eyes twice, and then said: "The person you are looking for is not here, he is in the back mountain!"
"Then take me there." Chen Xuan said.
This little girl still wants to lie to him?
Chen Xuan wants to see what tricks this girl has.
Under the leadership of Yang Chan, Chen Xuan came to a forest.
"That priest! You go ahead first, I'm a little tired and take a rest, I'll catch up with you right away!" Yang Chan said slyly.
"Okay!" Chen Xuan responded with a smile, and Yang Chan's eyes showed a smug look.
After Chen Xuan left, she took out the spirit treasure that had concealed her breath last time, and turned it into a ray of light.
First, I dug a hole in front, arranged a magic circle, and hid it. In front of the hole, I took out a rope and made a noose.
At this time, Yang Chan thought for a while, and found another water bag.
"That Taoist is so hateful, he dared to scold my senior brother. Why don't we fill it with dung water and pour it all over his head?" Yang Chan immediately shook her head, as if thinking of the tragic death of the real Taiyi in the cesspit.
"Forget it, it's too disgusting, just use clean water!"
But she added something to the water, and then she took out a hornet's nest and hung it on a tree.
Only then did Yang Chan clap her hands and smiled.
