This King Zhou is not stupid

"Wen Taishi, this statement is wrong."

Di Xin looked up to the sky and laughed loudly.

"I understand, I understand."

"What did your majesty understand?"

"Nine tails appearing in Shang, this is an auspicious sign!"

"This, the evildoer is in the world, can it always be called auspicious?!" Wen Zhong was dumbfounded.

'That's right, why did I become auspicious, and Empress Nuwa let me harm your country! 'Nine-tailed fox is also a little puzzled.

"This nine-tailed fox is not a demon, but a fairy beast, like Bai Ze and a phoenix bird. Back then, King Yu passed by Tushan and met a nine-tailed white fox. This nine-tailed fox is the daughter of the Tushan family. The appearance of Weihu from Xuanyuan's tomb means that Gu's merit is comparable to that of King Yu."

When Wen Zhong heard this, it was not bad, the nine-tailed fox was indeed different from ordinary monsters.

'Hey?Do I still mean to be so powerful? 'Nine-tailed fox doesn't even know that he is a fairy beast.

"Gu also understands why she lives in Xuanyuan Tomb. In the country of Qingqiu, there are nine-tailed foxes. If the king is not obsessed with sex, the nine-tailed fox will come. If the virtue reaches birds and beasts, the fox will have nine tails! You are right, there are people in Xuanyuan Tomb who will help revitalize my business!"

Both Jiuweihu and Wen Zhong were dumbfounded.

"Whether Empress Nuwa wants me to harm the country or assist the country, I'm a little confused. '

Wen Zhong thought about it carefully, and it seemed that he had heard about the daughter of Tu Shan and the Qingqiu Kingdom. However, Wen Zhong studied mostly the art of war and the way of governing the country, and didn't know much about history.

Just ask the ministers after you go back.

"Your Majesty, let's go back to Chao Ge first. If the Nine-Tailed Fox is really an auspicious sign, I will arrange for a matchmaker to be married and bring him into the Majesty's harem."

Chapter 34: Full tax exemption for one year, half tax reduction for three years

In the prime minister's mansion, Shang Rong is working with some civil officials to write the existing classics on paper, and then hand them over to others to print them into books for storage.

This will take time. The collection of books in the Shang Mansion alone is filled with countless shelves of bamboo slips and tortoise shells.

When Wen Zhong came to look for him, Shang Rong was still busy writing, so he didn't have time to see the old master.

"Nine-tailed fox? That's a sign of auspiciousness. King Yu's wife, the Tu Shan clan, is a nine-tailed white fox. There is also a classical record of the Qingqiu Kingdom. The land where Chi You was beheaded."

"It turned out to be true."

Wen Zhong really doesn't know much about ancient history. He has only practiced Taoism for 50 years.

Shang Rong is different. This old prime minister is a civil servant who has read and memorized all the classics of the Shang Dynasty, and he is also a veteran of three generations, so naturally he will not lie to him.

"Why does the grand master ask this question?"

"To be honest, my majesty and I went to the Fire Cloud Palace to meet the Three Sage Emperors. When we came back, the majesty said that there was a virtuous man waiting for him at the Xuanyuan tomb, so I went to the Xuanyuan tomb, but I saw a nine-tailed fox. I wanted to get rid of the demons, but the king said that the nine-tailed fox is an auspicious sign, and I have little ancient history, so I came to ask."

"what?!"

Shang Rong was so excited that his brush and ink got wet on the paper, so he stopped writing altogether, stood up and said, "There is a nine-tailed fox in Xuanyuan Grave! This is heaven, ah no, this is a sign of auspiciousness. It must be that Emperor Xuanyuan saw the great king's virtue , specially arranged."

Ever since it was known that the Heavenly Court was going to trigger the Conferred God War, the world's submission to the Heavenly Court plummeted.

As the head of the civil servants, Shang Rong naturally didn't have a good impression of Tianting.

"No, Your Majesty said that Empress Nuwa sent him to Xuanyuan Tomb."

"Wouldn't that be better!"

Shang Rong watched Di Xin write obscene poems in the Nuwa Palace with his own eyes, and the Nuwa Empress sent a nine-tailed fox to assist Di Xin. Does that mean that she doesn't blame Di Xin at all, but appreciates his intentions? ? !

It feels like you slapped the boss, and the boss gave you a beautiful assistant the next day and said 'good job', so the boss can blame you.

"Your Majesty's benevolence, Empress Nuwa sees it. Even the ancient righteous gods like Empress Nuwa think that what the king did is right, then the king is really right."

"I see. Can I marry the Nine-Tailed Fox?"

"That would be great,"

Wen Zhong no longer objected to Di Xin marrying Nine-Tailed Fox.

Shang Rong was even more excited and shed old tears again. "Your Majesty's morality is shocking. He first accepted the dragons from all over the world, and then took the auspicious nine-tailed concubine as his concubine. This is a sign of the prosperity of the Yin and Shang Dynasties!"

Thinking back a few months ago, Di Xin wrote obscene poems and tampered with totems without authorization, his heart was filled with chills.

But now...since Cao Bao, Xiao Sheng, and members of Jiejiao said that Xuanniao was ordered by the sky, and that the sky was going to destroy Shang Xingzhou, Shang Rong changed his attitude.

Tiger poison doesn't even eat its eggs, but Xuanniao deceives no one in the human race, it's too much.

Unless Xuanniao personally appears in the Yin Shang world now and bestows great blessings, if it is changed, it should be changed, and the Yin Shang will be reversed today!

------------

"Retire if there is nothing to do."

Below the white jade and gold steps, there are civil officials and military officials on both sides, and there are many more of them.

"The minister has a book to play."

A civil servant came out, holding Yahu and bowing his head, said: "Your Majesty, everyone knows about the catastrophe of conferring gods. People are terrified, and I sympathize with the people. I hope that Your Majesty will set up a platform to worship the sky to calm the wrath of the sky."

As soon as these words came out, the civil and military officials were angry.

The business is going to be destroyed this day, so why are you putting aside this euphemism?What about your integrity as a businessman!

Seeing that the ministers were about to beat up the civil servant, Di Xin said quickly, "I have thought about this matter, and I couldn't bear the misery of the people, so I went to Huoyun Cave to ask the Three Sage Emperors if they could seek peace."

"How will the Sanshenghuang reply?" Huang Feihu glared at the civil servant and asked as well.

"The great catastrophe of conferring the gods is a fixed number. The three religions cannot be refuted, and the human way cannot be avoided."

"This!" The civil servant was suddenly speechless. "I don't know, but I want to take back the preface. If you are just fighting against the sky, the human race must be hurt. I am also considerate of the people."

"Gu knows, forgive you for your innocence, but Gu has something to say!"

Di Xin stood up again, he always felt that sitting was not as domineering as standing.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with the God Conferred Tribulation, but..." Di Xin's tone sank.

"Why is it that no one in my human race doesn't know about such a big event! I don't know, my ministers don't know, and the people don't know! What does the heaven mean by this? Could it be that there is no one in my human race!"

This sentence ignited the dry firewood in the hearts of civil and military officials, and the fire burned in their hearts.

That's right, the Great Tribulation of the Conferred Gods, no one in the other race knew about such a major event.

"Alone as the emperor of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, he didn't know the matter of enshrining the gods. As the lord of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Xibohou didn't know the matter of enshrining the gods. What do you mean?!"

"I think back then, when Emperor Xuanyuan defeated Chi You, the gods helped him, and he respected the human emperor. Today, he first ignores the human race, then maliciously harms all people, and even sows dissension, letting the human race kill each other. What is the meaning?!"

The military officers clenched their fists, gritted their teeth and endured, the civil servants also trembled, and their blood boiled.

"If the Heavenly Court negotiates with Gu, the 360 ​​five righteous gods will be handed over to Gu, and there will be no dissatisfaction, but he will act like a villain behind his back, arrogant and bullying too much!"

"Heavenly Court, you are too deceitful!!!"

The civil and military officials on stage also shouted this sentence.

Even those loose immortals think that what they said is right, you counted the human race in the great catastrophe of the gods, but you didn't talk about it with the human race, only the disciples of the three religions.

Isn't that just calculating the human race?

"The princes of the four directions come out!"

The princes of the four roads came out one after another.

"Now that the Great Tribulation of Conferring the Gods is about to begin, our human race should promote education. The princes of the four directions need to establish a college with at least a thousand people in their capital to test the children's aptitude and register their names in the book. After graduating from the academy, students will be recruited every year, and the orphan will arrange teachers for you, and you will also recruit talents by yourself, and arrange training subjects according to the skills they are good at."

"The ministers and others will lead the decree." In fact, the princes of the four directions have long wanted to build a school, but Di Xin didn't say anything, so who would dare to build it.

"In addition, the major princes need to invest in the construction of cargo ships in Chaoge, and leave a space in the prince's city to build a long pavilion. They just want to open up trade routes for you. If you don't want to invest, you don't have to build it. I don't force it."

"Finally, I would like to say a happy event. Empress Nuwa chose a benevolent person for Gu to assist the king. This person is a woman, and Gu intends to accept her as a concubine. Moreover, this woman has a special status. Nine-tailed fox."

"Nine-tailed fox?!" Most of the ministers' eyes lit up when they heard the nine-tailed fox.

But there are also a small number of ministers who don't understand.

"My lord, the nine-tailed fox is a demon, right?"

"Ignorance!" Xibo Hou Jichang said: "The nine-tailed fox is a sign of auspiciousness. It has a great relationship with King Yu and Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor. How can it be said to be a demon!"

"Gu knows that she is not human, but this matter was arranged by Empress Nuwa, so there is nothing Gu can do about it."

This person set it up, as if King Zhou accepted the Nine-Tailed Fox reluctantly.

"If she is really a virtuous person, it will be of great benefit to the Shang Dynasty. If she is really a person who deceives the public with demonic words, she will be killed alone! One person may not be able to see clearly, but the eyes of hundreds of officials must be stronger than one person, so All the lovers have worked so hard to supervise Gu, Empress Jiang, please take care of her too, and don't let the concubines in the harem squeeze you out."

"It's a matter of duty." Empress Jiang is used to having women share King Zhou with her, but the Nine-Tailed Fox...she still has a grudge.

"Okay, I have decided on such a happy event. Starting from next year, the tax will be exempted for one year and halved for three years. The whole world will celebrate together, so that the people can recover from the inhumane act of Cheng Tianting as soon as possible."

"King Rende!!!"

"But Your Majesty, the tax is completely exempted, and the national treasury may not be able to bear it." There are still opinions among the civil servants on the measure of 'tax reduction'.

"It doesn't matter, there is only one way to fill the treasury."

'The imperial court does business by itself, so it takes the money back from the people. The point is to correct the people's customs now. 'Di Xin had already thought of a way to collect taxes.

"Today's matter, transcribe the notice, print ten thousand copies, and post it widely in every city, so that all the people will know. I hope that all the lovers will abide by their duties, and when they don't want to face foreign enemies, there are still people with private thoughts!"

"I will obey your orders."

Chapter 35: The Happy Life of Playing Foxes, Here I Come

Since the flying boat came into existence, it didn't take half a day for the major princes to travel between the capitals. The notices printed in Chaoge City were posted on the notice board before noon.

The four princes also gave orders when the flying boat passed by the capital to build a college and test the children's aptitude.

Like Chaoge, all children up to ten years old, regardless of gender, rich or poor, are exempted from food and housing, but the princes of the Four Routes feel that they are not at a loss.

After the notice was posted, the people became even more sensational.

"Thanks to the grace of the Empress Nuwa, the king accepts the bride, and a special blessing, tax exemption for one year, and half for three years."

The guard next to the notice had just finished part of what was written on the list, and the common people were very excited.

"One year tax exemption! Three years half!"

"Great King Rende, Great King Rende!"

Someone knelt in front of the notice, kowtowed and wept bitterly.

In this era when the land belonged to the country, the people who planted the fields had to pay taxes themselves, and they accounted for a lot of them. Dixin's move can be said to return this part of the grain tax to the farmers.

To put it simply, the land is equivalent to the farmer's own home this year, without spending a penny.

Now that the weather is good, the common people can think of the smiles on next year's harvest, and work hard.

"Although I don't know who this bride is, I will thank her."

"Thank you King, thank you bride, thank you Empress Nuwa!"

For a time, the praises of the people of the human race were endless.

In fact, even in modern times, this kind of situation still exists. Your game has a BUG. On the premise that it does not affect the continuation of the game, we players are ready to spray and make up for it. Well, we will treat it as if nothing happened.

Of course, if there is a problem with the basics, it will not work, and the basics of the people are to survive, eat enough and dress warmly, as long as it does not affect their survival, then they are very tolerant towards life.

The story is divided into two parts, and it is said that there are two mountain spirits and wild monsters on Dongfang Qipan Mountain, they are a peach spirit and a willow ghost, named Gao Ming and Gao Jue.

They each have a supernatural power, namely Clairvoyance and Shunfeng Ear.

The appearance is also quite strange, the eyes are as big as cowbells, and the ears of ghosts hang down to the shoulders.

"I saw that the people down the mountain were celebrating tax exemption."

"I heard that the people at the foot of the mountain are praising the king."

These two demons are not evil people, they are demons who absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, and the aura of heaven and earth to cultivate.

Gao Ming withdrew his gaze, puzzled and said, "Who is this great king? I saw him standing on a flying boat and flying over Qipan Mountain some time ago."

Gao Jue also retracted his ears, and said with a smile: "This king must be a man of gods, otherwise the people would not praise him every day."

"I saw that the officials in the city are still asking where there are capable people."

"I heard those officials say that the king wants to recruit capable people and strange people."

For a moment, the two looked at each other and had an idea in their minds.
