Days are everlasting

Chapter 33 Lixin

In April of the first year of Xuanhou, exactly one month after Xuanhou Ji Bofu entered the country, a notice was posted at the gate of Kaiyi, the capital of Xuanguo.

Kaiyi was not called this name originally, but it was changed after Xuanhou became the kingdom.

There are rumors that Xuanhou originally proposed the name Xinyi for Kaiyi, but he thought the meaning was too clear, so he changed it.

All in all, Xuanhou tried his best to erase the traces left by his predecessor, Shen Bo, and even changed the name of the capital.

Wang Ping lives in a village about ten miles away from the town. Due to his ancestral connection, he is more knowledgeable than other people in the village.

This time, some people in the village went to the capital, and when they came back, they used the notices posted outside the city as talking points everywhere.

Right next to the notice stood a wooden pole, three feet high, only the size of a bowl, not too heavy. The content of the notice was that anyone who could move a log into the city would be rewarded ten gold.

Although the rewards were generous, no one dared to take any action.

After all, the new monarch has only been in the country for one month, and no one understands his temper.

In Zong Zhou's official propaganda, Xuanhou Ji Bofu was a good boy who voluntarily gave up the crown prince to his elder brother, but it is different in today's Xuanguo.

Xuanguo evolved from Nanshen. In order to let the people of Shenguo participate in the attack on Zong Zhou, Shen Bo demonized the king of Zhou and the current Xuanhou. According to the rumors, this is a villain with insidious means , in order to achieve the goal, use any means.

After Shen Bo's failure, he was cooked and killed, which cast a shadow over the people of Nanshen.

Most of the Shen army is composed of the people of Nanshen. Even if they just obey their orders, they can't escape the fact that they are "causing chaos"!

Nanshen changed to Xuanguo, and the people at the bottom were also worried about whether they would be settled by Qiuhou.

Therefore, even if the wood-moving bounty seems to be completely fine, they dare not act rashly.

In the palace city of Kaiyi, Ji Bofu sighed after knowing that although there was a lot of discussion outside, but there was no movement at all, alas, it was indeed the same as his script!

This is an allusion about Shang Yang's measures to win the trust of the people during the reform. Since there is no Shang Jun in this era, Ji Bofu "borrowed" without hesitation.

Like Shang Yang, Ji Bofu also encountered a difficulty.

In order to establish his prestige as soon as possible, he chose the best farming.

For Ji Bofu, who has Ji Gongyan's support and Nanshen's previous two generations of family background, money is not a problem at all.

Tall, rich and handsome is no longer enough to describe him, and silly Duosu is his current representative in the eyes of his subordinates.

He wants to spend money, however, even spending money is not so easy.

Plows can be made, and cattle can be bought. The problem is that there may be no farmers to get them.

After being explained by a special person, Ji Bofu realized that the first step he had to take was actually to gain the trust of the people.

Ah, after the explanation, I feel even more that Shen Bo, the monarch of Nanshen, should have been killed and swollen?

In the minds of the people of Shen Kingdom, Ji Bofu, who was forcibly popularized as a generation of great devil and pretended to be a white lotus in front of his father, said that he was so wronged that he would be snowed in June!

No way, Ji Bofu could only snatch Shang Yang's idea in advance and come up with an idea like Yimu Lixin.

No one moved the ten gold, so he continued to strengthen it.

Marx said it well, if capital has 50.00% profit, it will take risks; if it has [-]% profit, it will dare to trample on all laws in the world.

If you move a piece of wood, you can get more benefits than you pay, and there will always be someone who will stand up.

The bounty on the notice has been raised from ten gold to a hundred gold. Not only Wang Ping's village, but even more remote villages know the news.

After all, it is on the edge of the capital, and the news is always better than other places.

The new king has declared it clearly, and it seems to be very honest, and the news from Zong Zhou's side is not all praising him, it seems that he is not as bad as the former king preached.

Under such a mentality, many people were moved by the announcement of moving wood to get gold in the notice.

You know, it's already a reward of a hundred gold!

As a well-known "sage" in the village, Wang Ping received many people who came to him for advice.

It's really because the conditions are so good, and if it is placed in a farmhouse, even a quick-working peasant woman can do it!

Wang Ping, who has a surname and family name, can be associated with nobles in the eyes of the villagers. Although his family did live a noble life a few generations ago, there are still differences.

Wang Ping couldn't think of how Xuanhou could fool the people. If the villagers really wanted to try, he would not hesitate to give an affirmative answer, but those who came to ask him before were still not sure.

Recently, a person came to Wang Ping's house for the second time. When he saw this person, Wang Ping told him straightforwardly that he might as well give it a try.

In the palace city of Kaiyi, Ji Bofu, who finally waited for the brave warrior who volunteered, was very excited.

If it wasn't for the fear that people would recognize the "childcare" he arranged, he would have made the "Warrior" appear long ago!

Although he was just an ordinary farmer with only two hands, Shen Hua not only got the reward he deserved, but was also summoned by Ji Bofu.

After returning back, without his own bragging, people came to visit him one after another, even if they were old folks, but now Shen Hua has met Jun Shang, it's different!

During this period, surnames, surnames, first names, and numbers all need to be distinguished.During this period, "common people" was a title for nobles, and those who were common people were officials.

Shen Hua's grandfather was from Xishen, and was selected as one of the many guards of the first generation of Shen Bo because of his strong body. Unfortunately, he broke his leg. Fortunately, the first generation of Shen Bo gave him money, so he settled outside the city. The same surname as the name of the country.

In other words, people like Shen Hua who have a relationship with the former Shen Bo can be received by Xuanhou, and nothing will happen after receiving the reward, so it is naturally the same for other people.

Two and a half months after Xuanhou took office, the people of the country accepted the new monarch at an astonishing speed.

Just as others were eagerly waiting for what Bo Ji would do behind his suit, a new notice was issued outside the city gate.

Still a good thing, as before.

From Kaiyi, the capital, within a hundred miles, the method of farming cattle is practiced.Xuanhou will let people distribute plow tools to each household, and each household will receive a plow ox. The plow tools are free. Officials are inspected every year.

Within a hundred miles of the capital, the scope is not too large. As a pilot, it is still under control.

Ji Bofu: Ah, I am indeed smart and witty!

Although Ji Bofu put his main energy on this, other government affairs still need to be done. Anyway, the difference between plowing and ordinary farming can be seen soon.

In the second year of Xuanhou, the common people near the capital welcomed a bumper harvest of grain, and even the price of grain dropped a lot in a short time.

The bumper harvest of grain does not mean how high the grain yield per mu can be raised. After all, the yield of millet and wheat—the main grain crops in this period—is limited, but because there are cattle, Many barren fields have been opened up for farming. Compared with previous years, the number of acres that can be cultivated has increased by an unknown amount without increasing the workload.

All the officials in the court were delighted with this result. Ji Bofu is the new king, they are also new ministers, this place is the capital, if there are still people who miss Shen Bo, it will not be a good thing for anyone.

It is a good thing that Xuanguo has a good grain harvest, and it can be reported to Haojing as Ji Bofu's achievement in taking office as the new king.

This place is located in the southern border of Zong Zhou, and it is one of the few vassal states closest to Zong Zhou. According to the etiquette system, Ji Bofu is the kind of vassal who needs to reign once a year.

Ji Bofu deliberately waited until the results of the food statistics came out before preparing to go to Haojing, regardless of the fact that his father had sent several letters from home since the beginning of the first lunar month.

After failing to play the emotional card, Ji Gongzhen's next two family letters became resentful.

Ji Bofu really couldn't imagine what it would be like if the messenger in charge accidentally saw the content.

Fortunately, although Ji Gongzhen served Uncle Ji with a family letter, he still put a mud seal on the outside very strictly.

Ji Gongxuan's home letters always have a lot of words, sometimes a roll of bamboo slips is not enough, and the general bucket is not enough, but fortunately the number is not so large that you need to use a pocket.

The troughs and pockets are devices for protecting the contents of the bamboo slips. If the number of bamboo slips is small, use the troughs, and if the number of bamboo slips is too large, use pockets to put them together.

After it is installed, tie it with ropes outside, then fill the knotted place with glue, stamp it with a seal, and the confidentiality work is done.

Generally, official documents need to be conveyed so rigorously. Ji Gongyan took such strict confidentiality measures in the family letter to Ji Bofu. He can only say, father, you are the king of Zhou, as long as you are happy.

Although the father is a good father who loves his son, it is not good to let him stand alone all the time, so Ji Bofu, who finally realized his conscience and wanted to love his father, wrote a reply letter.

The general idea is that Dad, don't keep me in the dark, your son is better off outside, if you are too busy, you can make another person with my mother!

Ji Bofu didn't let his father take care of the prince in Haojing, it would be suspected of putting eye drops on Brother Cheap, and it would be bad for his reputation, so he could only drag his own mother into the water to satisfy the stupid father, who is rich and has nowhere to go Exuding fatherly love.

Ji·Young·Bofu said that was what he said, how could he expect his father's combat effectiveness to be so high, when he returned, the beauty mother had already been pregnant for three months.

In order to repay his son's concern and consideration, Ji Gongyan said at the suggestion of the Queen of Beloved, "Son, do you think we should take advantage of you in Haojing and let us arrange your marriage earlier?"

Ji Bofu: Beauty girl, I was wrong, I really shouldn't have suggested that stupid father let you have another one!

I don't want to get married, I'm still a child!

The author has something to say: The allusion of Mimi Lixin comes from the incident of winning people's trust before Shang Yang's reform.

In the Zhou Dynasty, 1 zhang = 10 feet ≈ 199cm ≈ 2m, 3 zhang = 6m. I calculated the size according to the wood in our school that is about three stories high (including the tree crown). It is really only as big as the mouth of a bowl, and two palms are enough. Close it up, it shouldn't be too heavy to move Orz

Regarding "common people", "Book Yao Dian" records: "Nine clans are in harmony, and the common people are equal." Kong Chuan: "Common people, hundreds of officials." Common people should be called "common people" or "common people"...

Daqin should be called Qianshou, I almost called 23333

Regarding food, millet and wheat are the main food in this period, and the yield is low!

Regarding the age of Ji Gongzhen, Sou Shen Ji said that he was born in the 33rd year of King Xuan, and died in 46 years. That is to say, Ji Gongzhen was 25 when he succeeded to the throne and 25 when he died... This is not scientific at all. !And if we calculate according to the time when King Xuan's Queen Jiang Hou married him, Jiang Hou was married in the 826th year of Duke Wu of Qi, that is, in 45 BC, which should be the second year of King Xuan, when Ji Gongxuan succeeded to the throne Should be [-] years old.

However...According to the records, King You was born in less than a month. King Xuan wanted to abandon him, but the minister advised him, saying that you have been on the throne for many years and have no children...According to the setting of Ji Yijiu and his mother fleeing Shen Kingdom together, He probably hasn't married a wife yet, or else Shen Guo led dogs to attack Haojing, and Ji Yijiu's wife and children would have to be taken with dogs, so Ji Yijiu should have been under twenty when he fled in the ninth year of King You.If Ji Yijiu is 20 years old, if you look back, Ji Gongyan will have to give birth to a baby in the 35th year of King Xuan, and if you push back, he should be born between the 15th year of Xuan Wang and the [-]th year of Xuan Wang.

Moreover, Zhou Xie Wang Jiwang, the same mother and brother of You Wang Ji Gongyan—it is said to be the second son of King Xuan—was born in about 794 BC, which is the 35th year of King Xuan. The age difference between the two of them should not be too big.

Therefore, when Ji Gongyan succeeded to the throne, when Zhou Wanghe met Baosi, he should be in his 20s to 30 years old, which is about the same as the modern marriage age.

The stupid author can finally rest assured that Bofu's baby's father is not an old and ugly old man [Hey! 】.Of course, the calculation of the stupid author may be wrong, but I don't care, I just set it like this [Nonsense · gif]
