    "I can be your teacher, but what I teach may still threaten your rule, and even indirectly affect your life safety. Even so, are you willing to keep learning?"

    "Are you willing to dedicate your life to the people of this land?"

    This is the time to test the reaction and the art of speaking. King Gudea, as a just shepherd, thought of the scene when he was elected to wear this title. Although this title was given to him by the nobles, it was originally passed down  When he got up, he appeared in the villages and among the people.

    So he said firmly: "I am both the king and the people."

    "I will make Lagash a paradise."

    "Umia! I will remember your teachings forever!"

    Concubine Zai nodded: "Very good, according to our etiquette. If you are a teacher, you have to hand in two pieces of jerky."

    King Gudeya immediately went to pick it up in person. Dried meat is a standing item, and it is available in the barracks. So after he came back, he completed the ceremony of apprenticeship.

    At the same time, suggestions were immediately made on the loading:

    "From Lagash to Daxia, the most convenient place to pass is here"

    A red circle is circled on the map, which is the land of Elan. Through Elan's control area and influence area, one can find a passage in the vast desert and directly reach the Sun Mountains.

    Elam is in the east of the Mesopotamian Plain, in the southwest of the Land of Great Xia, just stuck at the throat of trade.

    But it is a pity that although Lagash is considered to be among the Sumerian city-states and has recovered relatively well, it is still not enough to attack Elan. Of course, Elan has just recovered from the decline.  Even if there is a big war, it will also be seriously injured.

    It¡¯s still too early to talk about trade and commerce, but there is a difference between having an agreement and not having an agreement. Having an agreement can prove that you have agreed with us on this matter. If you go back on your word in the future, we can learn from you.  .

    This is just a route. Gudea believes that it can be used as a neutral zone, which can also promote many surrounding civilizations and tribes to settle and trade here, forming a stronghold group.

    Of course, this population development and trade plan is set as a 30-year plan.

    That is to say, from the time this route was developed until it was fully possible to carry out long-distance trade between the two parties, the time was controlled within 30 years.

    "Silk Road."

    This is the most suitable ancient road for silk to be exported to Central Asia in the ancient Han Dynasty.

    This is a magnificent feat. Of course, it is foreseeable what the Great Han will look like after thirty years. By then, the railway may have already been laid to the Western Regions, and it may even lead directly to the land of Daxia, and the population will begin to expand rapidly.  , perhaps even this Mesopotamian plain will be affected by cultural radiation.

    When the steel from the east comes to this ancient land, it may have a different spark from the people here.

    Thirty years, the population expansion is predictable, it will rise from one million to tens of millions, there is no doubt about it, and in order to feed more people, Hongzhou is already building long-distance boats, perhaps getting rid of the merchants of the adult country  We can find high-yield starch crops such as sweet potatoes from outside the South China Sea.

    These grains are also a prerequisite for ensuring a population explosion.

    After confirming the Silk Road plan, Yan Zai began to teach Gudea "the way of being a king"!

    On the fifth day of Yuzai's visit to Lagash, King Gudea officially announced the news to the people of Lagash in an extremely solemn and solemn manner.

    Crossing a thousand mountains and hundreds of rivers, from the majestic Sun Mountains, further east where the sun god Utu was born, one of the three kings of the east visited the ancient land of Mesopotamia and will  Take a sojourn in the victorious city of Lagash!

    Moreover, the King of Gudea also officially announced that he became a student of the King of the East and was willing to dedicate his life to learn the advanced system and save the entire Mesopotamian plain.  The king recited it and advertised it widely.

    ¡¾I am both the king and the people.  The king is the people, and the people are also the king. It is the people who created the new city of Lagash!  ¡¿

    This sentence aroused violent repercussions from all walks of life in society, because the word "people" does not represent class divisions. The nobles thought that Gudea was ambitious, so they wanted to learn from the past king and carry out drastic reforms.  So as to take away the interests of their aristocratic class?  In that case, if the investigation is clear, Gudea will be regarded as a traitor, and he will no longer be a just pastor.??

    The middle class, as well as the lower class, feel more deeply about this sentence.

    The current city of Lagash was originally rebuilt on the ruins of the ancient city. It not only carries the past, but also bears the future. The reforms that have been carried out since the time of King Urbaba have finally blossomed in the generation of King Gudea.  As a result, Lagash also became the first city-state to emerge from the Dark Ages.

    This is the king's distribution of credit to every citizen. Although these bottom-level people have not received any tangible benefits, this sense of participation is recognized by the king

    Then everyone seems to have become the uncrowned king, and they firmly believe that everything they do is contributing to the construction of Lagash.

    This kind of emotion is called "you have honor".

    The benefits are obvious. The latter sentence was told to Gudeia by Yu Zai and asked him to add it.

    A simple sentence unites the bottom and middle people of the entire city-state. This is cohesion, so if an enemy invades Lagash, everyone will fight hard.

    All it takes is one sentence.

    And when the nobles went to ask Gudea, Gudea also told them tactfully that of course the nobles and priests are also part of the people.

    So, the nobles thought they understood that the words of King Gudea were just looking for a vocabulary that included everyone. They put down their guard and returned to their respective mansions to continue enjoying and working.

    Gudea exhaled.

    He knows that that sentence is still just a general empty phrase, and the people may feel excited about it, but this excitement will disappear completely after a large number of increasingly sharp social contradictions arise.

    Therefore, it is necessary to create some benefits so that the people at the bottom and the middle class will stand up and support him as the king, and use it to counteract the gradually bloated and inflated aristocratic rights.

    This is the first lesson of the way of being a king that Gudeya learned here!

    The way to be a king must first save the people!

    No one will support a king who has lost his rights, but if the people support him, even if the nobles abolish the king, as long as he is still alive, the people will follow him to establish a new city-state!

    "The way to be a king is to save the people first! If you hurt the people to serve yourself, it is like cutting your thighs to eat your belly, and you will die when you are full!"

    "If the world is to be safe, one must first straighten one's body. Before one's body is upright, the shadows will be disturbed, and there will be chaos at the top and chaos at the bottom!"

    Gudeya has been able to speak some oriental sentences for a short time during the few days of communication with Yu Zai.  He thought it was his dream, or something like divine language.

    He also wanted to carry out a complete legislative act, and he wanted to borrow from the East's "Hammer".

    Although there have always been ancient laws here in the past, there is no particularly perfect code because the only official and earliest "Ulu Kajina Code" has died with the death of the king, and everything has been erased  It was lost, leaving only the laws cited in other clay tablets. It was these scattered laws that made Lagash reborn in the hands of King Gudea.

    It was the capitulation nobles of that era who erased this code of law. They opened the gates of the city-state for the Elamites and the Akkadians.

    Now, Gudea is already the twelfth king of the city-state of New Lagash. After a hundred years, many people and things have deviated from their original intentions.

    If one wants to become a king extolled by the ages, the opening of the Silk Road is an important link, and it is imperative to change the political system of Lagash and clear up these bloated national tumors within 30 years  matter!

    Never repeat the same mistakes, the lessons learned from the past, the teacher of the future, this is also a vocabulary learned from the mouth of Yan Zai!

    How can politics be done well with you bunch of insects!
