Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The new capital of Xu State is undergoing rapid reorganization. It is impossible to complete all the construction in a hurry, but at least the planning of the urban area and the construction of various government departments must be completed, especially the palace.  Although Xiao Hao strongly disliked the ancient palace that harbored so much filth and evil, as a symbol of the feudal era and a symbol of power, Xiao Hao had to stay in the palace.  In this era and in this context, Xiao Hao has to bow to tradition in many things.  To be honest, no modern person would like a place like the Royal Palace. Underneath the magnificent appearance of the Royal Palace, there are dark inner halls, and the lighting in those ancient buildings is poor.  Not to mention how many innocent souls there were in these palaces. Xiao Hao felt that living in such a place would be haunted.  In another world, the most haunted places are those ancient palaces, and these places are precisely the places that refuse scientific inspection!  Those places such as private houses that are haunted can be inspected by various scientists, and the government supports them; but those places such as palaces that are haunted must be inspected absolutely!  This made Xiao Hao feel a little psychological shadow towards the palace.  Just want to gain a foothold in this world, sometimes you really have to respect tradition, Xiao Hao can only temporarily succumb to the power of tradition.  However, because all the things were distributed and under the guidance of the principle of governing the country according to law, Xiao Hao was very relaxed and would wander around when he had nothing to do.  Xiao Hao will not do anything like incognito and private interviews with idiots. This is really something that cannot be done, as it will shake the foundation of the country.  As an emperor, he is a symbol of openness and aboveboardness. Every time Xiao Hao goes out, he does so openly and honestly, because he is afraid that others will not know.     today.  Xiao Hao took Yun'er and the two of them for a walk in the market, followed by the Danxin masters provided by Han Zongfa and Mo Jia, and two Yuanshen masters provided by Shushan to protect Shushan.  Xiao Hao is now the most important "investment" of the three companies, and this investment has now brought huge profits to the three companies!  Not only did Han Zong¡¯s Legalists and Mohists complement each other, they also gained new ideas and future here in Xuguo.  The explosion of ideas gave both companies a new growth.  Not to mention Shushan.  A good mountain area was taken directly from Yingzhou Secret Realm. The entire mountain gate has been relocated, and some old people are left to guard the original place.  Along the way, Xiao Hao greeted the people around him familiarly. Many people here were originally from Haizhou, and many of them knew Xiao Hao.  Yun'er grabbed Xiao Hao's sleeve and looked around calmly.  The entire Xu Kingdom was in a state of prosperity.  People have genuine smiles on their faces.  At this time, a person chased behind Xiao Hao. This person was Xiao Hao's new servant. He was a young man about the same age as Xiao Hao. Under Xiao Hao's strong opinion, Xu Guo canceled the strange eunuch.  set up.  And Xiao Hao is not planning to build a big harem, that is asking for trouble.  On the other hand, Xiao Hao began to use female officials to make up for some of the management loopholes caused by the vacancy of eunuchs.  In fact, the reason why eunuchs were so popular in ancient times was not only to manage the inner palace. The most important thing was to create a buffer between the emperor and ministers, so that everyone could save a little face for each other; when the conflict was really serious  , just kill the eunuch.  Therefore, the imperial court needs eunuchs, and even high-ranking officials need a certain amount of eunuchs as lubricants.  But the existence of eunuchs is a deformed state of the world.  Xiao Hao used two methods to replace the existence of eunuchs.  The first is to use female officials, let women manage some things, and take the opportunity to let women stand out; secondly, use some inspected sons of officials at all levels who are about to become officials to serve as ministers for a period of time.  It usually lasts only a few months, which is considered a different kind of reward.  And because the country is governed according to law, we are not afraid of these people pretending to be powerful in the future; after all, one will be replaced every few months, and if there is too much of something, it will be worthless.  Right now, there are five assistants around Xiao Hao, each helping with different matters.  "What's the matter?" Xiao Hao's majesty has initially been revealed.  "Your Majesty, there is a problem with the capital city renovation. Please go back and discuss it." "Oh, okay." Xiao Hao had to turn around.  Pulling the pouting Yun'er back.  The opportunity to play alone today was ruined!  ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Xiao Hao was surprised to find that all the officials of the Shangshu Province and most of the officials of the Ministry of Rites were gathered here when he came back.  In addition to these, there are many relevant officials present.  Most of the senior officials of Xu Kingdom are here now.  Xiao Hao was really surprised by this situation, extremely surprised.  "Your Majesty, there is a problem with the capital's renovation." The businessman representative responsible for the capital's renovation stood up.  Yes, Xiao Hao actually delegated the renovation of the capital to businessmen!  But it must be said that when it comes to the transformation of this capital city, the merchants are united. All the merchants know that if this matter goes wrong, the future will be ruined.The country still doesn¡¯t know how to treat businessmen.  At least, there will definitely be countless terms and restrictions!  "Let's talk. It's not a problem to alarm most of the officials, the entire Shangshu Province and the Ministry of Etiquette." Xiao Hao rubbed his brows, and he had been worrying about more and more things recently.  "Your Majesty, as required, we expanded the city. But there was a problem when building the temple. Because according to regulations, the altar of earth needs to be built three miles outside the city. And now that we have demolished the city wall, there is no longer a 'city'  Landmark; in addition, due to the expansion of the city, the south of the city is a swamp, and the Temple of Earth cannot be built. The Temple of Earth symbolizes the solid destiny of the country and must be built on a solid place, and there are strict requirements. " Xiao Hao was speechless in surprise.  Are there so many things to pay attention to?  It really gave Xiao Hao a headache.  But we have to pay attention, this is already another world, and these things are really paid attention to here.  No wonder so many people have been alarmed by the construction of the small Temple of Earth.  "Can't you use magical powers to change the terrain?" Xiao Hao was speechless.  "No!" Tu Yong stood up at this time, "Anything related to sacrifice must be natural, otherwise it will have no origin." "Okay. Does it have to be three miles away from the city? Can it be further away?  , cross that swamp?" "No! This swamp is very wide, and it is unlucky to have a swamp in the middle, because the swamp means there is no road!" "Otherwise," Xiao Hao suddenly said.  A joke of a world.  "Since it must be three miles away, let's name a street specifically. The name of the street is 'three miles', or 'three miles away' or something like that. Is this feasible? If necessary, we can also add magical powers to the name."  "Huh?" Such a ridiculous idea is not offensive here.  On the contrary, it makes people start to think carefully!  "This is a good idea, maybe it can actually be implemented." Lan Hai actually spoke first.  Don't tell me, many people actually agreed!  "Then give it a try! I'll make arrangements." After Tu Yong finished speaking, he led his people and businessmen to leave. Xiao Hao didn't need to worry about the rest.  Now that there is a feasible method, Xiao Hao can continue playing.  As a result, Xiao Hao has not spoken yet.  Yun'er pulled Xiao Hao and dragged her away. The little girl was very angry. She promised to play with me today, so you have to be reasonable.  "Haha" Han Changling and others could only smile slightly when they saw this situation.  In the past, these people would definitely scold Xiao Hao for not doing his job properly; but seeing that Xiao Hao now manages Haizhou in an orderly manner.  He also began to slowly think about and accept Xiao Hao's many small problems and problems.  As long as you don't make big mistakes, it doesn't matter if you keep making small mistakes.  Xiao Hao and Yun'er continued to play, but they didn't know that the name of the famous "Sanli Long Street" in the future had already been determined. A street that was actually only a little over a mile in length was named "Sanli".  The whole Xu Kingdom actually accepted the matter; and the function of the altar has not been weakened!  The New Year finally arrived, and everyone started celebrating in Xishan Town.  In less than three years, Haizhou developed into the Xu Kingdom, and a small squire of the Xiao family developed into the royal family.  It even received the full support of Han Zong's Legalists and Mohists; in addition to these, medical experts have also begun to slowly lean towards Xuguo, and the rest with business as their tentacles are also beginning to move closer to Xuguo.  Linglong Pavilion, the most representative among the hundreds of works, has officially laid its foundation in Xuguo. Ye Baoge of Linglong Pavilion represents Linglong Pavilion and sits in Xuguo.  The military strategists have opinions on Xu Guo.  But the military warriors have no objection!  The relationship between the military strategist and the military martial arts family is no longer the same as before; there are hundreds of military martial arts families, large and small, and now the military martial arts family to which Wu Dingyue belongs has extended an olive branch to Xuguo.  Xu Guo's staff setting has made many military strategists excited. Maybe they can completely get rid of the big hat of military strategist in this way.  And this is the second reason why military strategists don't want to see Xu Guo.  Generally speaking, Xiao Hao and Xu Guo have received a lot of support and offended many factions; there is no way around this, even if the gods come, they cannot cover everything.  Sometimes if you want to gain something, you must lose something.  But no matter what.  Xu Guo had a good year this year.  People cheered and merchants could walk freely on the land.  Broad roads connect every city in Xu Kingdom.  Common people also have money to buy some new things.  In addition to these, people from all genres came to watch.  All schools want to know about this rapidly rising Xu Kingdom; see what kind of secrets there are that can allow the Han Zong Legalists and Mohists to unite and support the growth of this country without any barriers.  But compared to Xu Guo¡¯s happiness,??The surrounding countries are not so happy!  Just before the end of the New Year, Song State lost a state again. After only a month of fighting, Song State actually lost two states!  In the north, Cai Guo also lost two states!  The most important thing is that almost all the area lost by the two countries was occupied by businessmen and civilians.  "Rebellion!" The king of the Song Dynasty was furious. "Detain all the merchants and ransack their homes! In addition, all civilians are not allowed to leave their villages, otherwise they will all be killed on the spot!" Not surprisingly, Cai Guo in the north  The same approach was taken.  Only in the south of Chen State, Nangong Zhi sent a special envoy to report his findings and put forward suggestions to the emperor.  The result was that Chen State actually opened up for business!  He also saw the explosive growth of his neighbor, which made Chen Guo think for a long time and finally began to change his mind.  They also began to encourage commerce, encourage agriculture, restrict nobility, and began to learn from Xu Guo.  At the same time, many people from the Za family and the Li Zongfa family passed on the information detected in the Xu Kingdom to their own family schools. Later, the Feng Kingdom under the leadership of Li Ziyu in the west actually wanted to learn reforms and the like.  Colleagues, many distant countries have also been more or less affected by Xu Guo.  The vast majority of them use what seems to be the simplest and most direct method, which is to suppress businessmen!  But the smart ones began to learn the reforms, or at least imitate them; of course, a large number of countries continued to sit back and watch the changes.  In a word, the political environment here in Xuguo has caused changes in the entire human world; it¡¯s just that more people don¡¯t know what this change represents!  "Come. General Nangong, please take a seat, you're welcome." Lan Hai led Nangong Zhi into the lobby, where many senior officials from the Xu Kingdom had already arrived. This was the first day of "work" after the New Year.  Everyone is ready to discuss their political ideals, etc., and various issues in a relaxed banquet atmosphere.  This is also a place and occasion specially prepared by Xiao Hao for everyone to communicate with each other, understand each other, and even resolve grievances.  Since everyone is an official in the same dynasty, it is inevitable that there will be some problems, and Xiao Hao must try his best to solve these problems.  As the representative of Chen State, Nangong Zhi, the first representative of Chen State who was preparing to formally establish diplomacy with Xu State, was also invited to the banquet.  Sitting side by side with the blue ocean.  It's actually a relaxed environment for communication.  Here everyone is sitting on low stools of the same height, drinking the same wine and eating the same dishes, even Xiao Hao is no exception.  Today, thousands of representatives of civilian businessmen came to participate in this grand event.  Xiao Hao picked up the wine glass.  Signaling to everyone around: "Everyone can speak freely, don't worry about anything. Even if you point at my nose and scold me today, I won't care! There is no need to talk nonsense today, just say what you want to say directly, and you won't be tired of beating around the bush every day."  " "Ha" The atmosphere became heated for a while.  "Your Majesty, the foreign minister congratulates your majesty. However, the foreign minister has a little doubt, and please give me some advice." Nangong Zhi, an old fox, will look for opportunities.  "Let's talk." Regarding these old foxes, Xiao Hao was very sensible and did not go around in circles with them.  Otherwise, it is very likely that you will be transferred into it.  Being straightforward is the best approach.  "Thank you, Your Majesty. The Foreign Minister has been thinking about a question recently, and that is why Your Majesty does not prohibit outsiders from learning the various political policies and methods of Xu Kingdom? Even in schools, various things are opened. So that many people can  Get those secrets easily? " "Oh there are so many problems. Let's talk about politics first. Commander Nangong, do you think your Chen country can really become stronger by imitating us?" "Yes!"  There was no hesitation about this.  "Okay, then let me ask you the most fundamental question. Do you, the king of Chen State, and all the officials of Chen State, etc., really want to see the businessmen strong and the common people rich?" "This at least  I am willing, and so is our king." Nangong Zhi hesitated.  The answer is also to avoid the important and take the easy.  "Then let me ask you the second question. Which class does your king represent? Is it a noble? Or a commoner?" "Aristocrat!" This point.  Nangong Zhi did not hesitate.  Anyone who is engaged in politics cannot even understand his own position.  That is definitely not a qualified politician.  "But Commander Nangong, you have to be clear. Businessmen, civilians and nobles are not in the same system. To put it very rudely, the butt determines the head! Whether you are rude or not, no matter how you change, your natural political status has already determined whether you will  There will be complete consideration for civilians and businessmen! In everything you do, you will ultimately consider yourself! In any decision or policy, the first thing you have to consider is your own profit, and the second is your own profit.  Businessmen and civilians, and neither do you.The so-called abolition of slavery laws will be made public. Because too many noble interests are involved, you cannot and cannot do this.  " "I" Nangong Zhi was stuck for a moment. What Xiao Hao said was really deeply rooted in people's hearts, and Nangong Zhi, a smart man, really couldn't refute it. " Let's talk about our Xu country.  In the Xu Kingdom, except for a few nobles who surrendered, our entire political system is representative of the common people.  As we all know, our Xiao family can be said to have a humble beginning, even humble, because Haizhou was previously a well-known hometown of bandits!  Nowadays, many of our departments, except for personnel from the Han Zong Legalists and Mohists, are basically all talents selected from civilians.  ??Fundamentally, we are a political system represented by civilians.  We don¡¯t even need to deliberately think about civilians, businessmen, etc.; because when we think about ourselves, we will naturally think about the people of the world!  If we want to increase taxes, we must get more taxes from merchants and farmers; and the best way to avoid depleting the land is to make merchants and farmers rich.  This is one piece.  Not the slightest contradiction.  But you are different, your subjects are aristocrats.  If you want to bypass the nobles and directly manage the common people, it will harm the interests of the nobles.  This fundamentally shakes the foundation of your rule.  So I dare to say that your changes will either end in vain or lead to national turmoil.  I believe your king also understands this.  But he still can't change anything!  Because a little change means shaking the foundation of the entire country. ?? Our country of Xu can achieve such development in accordance with the saying: If you don¡¯t destroy it, you won¡¯t establish it; if you don¡¯t destroy it, you can establish it!  If you want to truly complete the reform, you have two ways to go.  The first way is to establish a new government, as we did.  Overthrow the corrupt rule of the aristocracy.  I think you will never do this, and you have already begun to defend businessmen, civilians, and people in the world.  The second way is to debone!  You complete the complete changes yourself; the royal family gives up everything in the past, and even takes the initiative to raise the butcher knife.  Completely imprison the nobles in the country and surrender the royal power.  So, Commander Nangong, do you think what I said is right?  " Nangong Zhi's face became more and more ugly as Xiao Hao spoke, and finally turned pale. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Xiao Hao, his eyes filled with fear, unprecedented fear, "You did it on purpose!  "    "Yes.  On purpose!  As long as you learn from Xu Guo, your foundation will be shaken!  And if you don¡¯t learn from Xu Guo, your slaves, civilians, businessmen, etc. will learn from us!  This is a fire.  A fire is already burning!  A single spark can start a prairie fire, and now it has already started a prairie fire!  The moment Xu Guo truly stands up, it's time for you to make a choice.  So, I am not afraid of you learning, because this is poison!  For any aristocratic politics, Xu Guo's politics is poison.  And it is an inevitable poison.  Or, you can scrape the bones yourself.  Or let the common people roar and overthrow you, and let the nobility completely become a symbol of history.  Don't think you are very powerful.  I can tell you that the Feng Kingdom in the West has already burned the same flame with the support of the Zajia and Li Zong Legalists, and the East is us!  There are nine schools in the world, and now there are four powerful schools: Confucianism, Legalism, Mohism, and now among these four schools, even Confucianism has begun new attempts.  The politics of the aristocracy is coming to an end.  "Nangong Zhi's hands have begun to tremble, but he still tries to stay calm, "Then Fengguo in the West is also learning from you?  And it is developing very well and will definitely be your enemy in the future.  " Xiao Hao was full of confidence: "No, since I asked him to learn, how could there be no method?  To put it bluntly, Xu Guo is a teacher and Feng Guo is a student.  Students want to make a splash?  Disaster!  Since he studies with me, he will always be able to eat dust behind me.  In the end, they will understand that everything they do is just as my wedding dress!  And I¡¯m not afraid of them knowing these words, because they can¡¯t go back.  " Nangong Zhi lowered his head and thought, while the businessmen and civilian representatives in the yard, as well as a large number of officials from Xu Kingdom, etc., were cheering and celebrating. Xiao Hao looked around with a smile. What he just said was not just for Nangong Zhi, but also for Nangong Zhi.  You can tell it to your own people. After hearing Xiao Hao's words, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became lively. The banquet ended in a happy atmosphere, and Xiao Hao's speech at the banquet quickly spread to Zai Xu.  The country aroused countless support; but when these words spread, it became a nightmare for the surrounding countries. They suddenly found that they were really on the edge of a cliff, or they could let others completely overthrow their rule!  In front of the top leaders of every country, some sneered and some were helpless.? Some panic, and some even say they want to destroy the Xu Kingdom.  But as long as the rulers with some knowledge heard Xiao Hao's words, they all sighed in agreement.  And Nangong Zhi is even preparing to recruit a group of talents from Chen Guo in Xu to return home and try to reform.  Time passed day by day, and finally in the late first month of the first month, Xu Kingdom officially moved its capital to Liguang City. Dali Royal Court completely became history, and Xu Kingdom was officially established.  Then Xiao Hao was busy with a series of things such as offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, getting married, establishing a queen, etc. without even touching the ground.  When in February, Xiao Hao hugged Qingyue with her hair tied up, listening to the national anthem in the morning sun and watching the slowly rising national flag, Xuguo began to develop vigorously.  The national flag and national anthem also appeared in this world for the first time. As soon as they were displayed, they exploded with powerful power; making the entire Xu country unite as one.  The national flag is a burning sun in the blue sea and sky.  The national anthem is adapted from folk material.  It¡¯s just that Fairy Qingyue officially became the queen of Xu Kingdom, and I don¡¯t know how many people shed tears.  (To be continued)
