    Slowly opening his eyes, Xiao Hao looked at the endless light in the eastern sky and felt infinite emotion in his heart.  With the help of the changes in luck caused by the formal founding of the country to worship heaven and earth, Xiao Hao unexpectedly entered the third level of Purple Qi Dongsheng.  But the most important thing is that with this opportunity, many people around Xiao Hao have made a leap.  Xiang'er, Qingyue, Xiao Hao's parents, uncles, some relatives, and some generals, such as Han Sheng, Zhang Yun, and the widely respected Yang Qianjun who defected later, were all "forced" to be sent to the state of Purple Energy.  Become a master of Purple Qi Dongsheng.  For the human race of this era, the rising of purple energy means the Great Way to Heaven, and Xu Guo has once again become a legend.  On the front line, even in winter and early spring, Xu Kingdom is still using troops abroad!  While other countries were still paying attention to spring plowing, Xu Guo's offensive did not stop at all; because Xu Guo no longer adopted the traditional system of combining soldiers and civilians, but the innovative "volunteer military system."  The volunteer military system has made Xuguo's military strength unprecedentedly powerful, and every soldier is not a militia with complaints, and the country has a complete military merit and welfare system.  Under such circumstances, the general does not need to be afraid that the soldiers will run away halfway. The "miracle" of setting out with 100,000 soldiers and arriving at the target with only 30,000 soldiers will not happen (deserting was too normal in ancient times. Some troops even arrived at the front line after  There is not enough combat effectiveness).  The army's orders were smooth and the soldiers' discipline was perfect.  In Xu Kingdom, soldiers are no longer told to be loyal to the king, but to fight for everyone and fight for the future!  People are always selfish. Xiao Hao is not afraid of these things like others, but guides them in good faith and improves them appropriately. For example, in addition to self-interest, he also fights for the future. Everyone is a fighter.  , these recruits screamed in excitement. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out? away out were was was an unreasonable?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out? of? ?????? ?????????????????''''''''s' '' '©\'''''¡ª¡ª'''''' fashion through¡ª¡ª we're¡ª¡ªdefinitely not a militancy¡ª¡ªit's strictly calculated.  The number of attacking soldiers was not large, but with a few masters of the Purple Qi Dongsheng opening the way, the reputation of Xu Kingdom spread.  Let Xu Guo's army march forward with great success.  The well-disciplined Xu army will not have a "soldier" situation, but will open warehouses to release grain, punish evildoers, and even carve up part of the land. This has won Xu Guo widespread popularity.  In order to ensure the benefits obtained by the public base, these civilians burst into crazy fighting spirit.  In addition, the methods arranged by Xiao Hao also began to work.  When Song and Cai began to imprison merchants and civilians, they did not know that they were destroying their own future!  The influence of those big businessmen definitely exceeds the imagination of all nobles. Many businessmen have good reputations (better than the nobles are enough), and only need a word, a promise, and even various "promises" from Xu Kingdom.  Many soldiers rebelled.  Although soldiers are "scholars", they are also the lowest nobles and the most undignified nobles. According to the tradition of the nobility, after the nobles, they are civilians!  Unless they can make significant contributions or be appreciated by the nobles, their descendants will only become mud-legged people forever!  These nobles who face the final choice of life are more open-minded, even radical, and their vision is sharper because they are looking for a future for themselves.  In such a situation, these people will often be "excited" if Xu Guo makes a little promise!  As a result, Xu Kingdom inadvertently instigated many noble families to rebel!  Then using these nobles as a breakthrough point, you can easily achieve a major victory.  The promise made by Xu Guo is very simple. We will not accept nobles as a class in the future, but even as civilians.  You can live very well in Xuguo.  And this, for most people, is really enough!  When there are no nobles, it doesn't matter if you are not a noble. Xu Guo has proved his "promise" with facts.  Sometimes the promise is not high, but it is more credible.  On the other hand, Xu State continues to launch wars externally; but internally it is a different way of governance.  All the farmland was opened and seeds were planted by farmers amidst joyful songs and laughter; and the current prosperity of Xu Country is enough to ensure that every piece of farmland will have a bumper harvest!  It is guaranteed that even if the Xu Kingdom fights for years, the food and grass will be sufficient.  On the coast, the Han Zong Legalists and the Mohists worked together to expel the Hai Clan, Dragon Clan and other forces along the coast, making the 500-mile coastal area the territorial waters of the Xu Kingdom.  In this bustling ocean, the seafood caught every month accounts for almost 30% of Xuguo's food needs.  Under the golden finger guidance of Xiao Hao.  Under the leadership of Wang Fei, more than a dozen shipyards were established along the coast of Xuguo, and the shipbuilding industry was unprecedentedly busy.  Under simple guidance, plus some traditional skills.  There are now thousands of medium and large fishing boats along the coast of Xuguo, and even small fishing boats are found in every household.  At the same time, currencies, weights and measures, official language accents, writing, etc. all began to be unified.  In business, the National Bank was formally established to meet the requirements of the times, and its official name was: National Monetary Center; and various corresponding business systems and laws began to be improved, and a large number of screened talents selected from the private sector were filled into the Ministry of Commerce.  Operational day??, making Xuguo¡¯s business healthier.  Strong business already in just two years.  It has replaced the status of agricultural tax payment and contributed more tax revenue to the country.  In addition, a thing called "industry" began to rise.  Shipbuilding is only part of it.  Digging mountains, mining, damming rivers and building bridges, etc., are all changing rapidly.  Increasingly large and light carriages and generous invention rewards allowed the people to continuously improve their production tools.  With the instinctive desire for wealth and Xiao Hao's correct guidance, the power of capital began to rise.  The power of capital has shown great vitality as soon as it emerged. This power has become a powerful driving force for the development of Xuguo.  When Xuguo introduced its patent law in late spring, it pushed this power to the extreme!  Unprecedented enthusiasm broke out, and businessmen replaced most of the country's logistics and shouldered the army's logistics, allowing Xu Guo's soldiers on the front line to enjoy unprecedented treatment.  With enough to eat and drink, and no worries, the soldiers fighting for their dreams and ideals, as well as their own future, burst out with enthusiasm that shocked both the Han Zong Legalists and the Mohists.  Soldiers awakened one after another in the battle, and a few actually rose in purple energy!  Most of them became awakened warriors and elite soldiers. These elite soldiers continued to expand and attack, and the Song and Cai States were defeated steadily, with almost no ability to resist.  Thirty percent of the wealth seized in battle will be distributed to soldiers; the remaining 70 percent will be used as national wealth.  At this moment, there are roads of all sizes in the Xu Kingdom, and countless roads are under crazy construction.  In the past, the construction of the Great Wall Canal and the like was purely "export".  Just to build a channel for transporting gas and connecting it, it wastes people and money; but now in Xu Kingdom, the construction of roads is not just to transport gas, these roads have become the blood vessels of Xu Kingdom.  It transports wealth and breeds wealth.  Nowadays, with the road construction planned by the state, businessmen are frantically participating in bidding for roads, which is the source of wealth in this era!  In the past, only a few families were responsible for the construction of the avenue, but now the wealth they have earned has surprised countless people.  With the prosperity of business.  The profits from road construction have almost doubled.  Road construction has become the first recognized wealth market in Xu Kingdom.  The power of capital and people's own desire for wealth, happiness and freedom have become the driving force for Xuguo's flight.  If you look from the outside at this time, you can see that the land of Xu Kingdom is covered with a layer of sapphire-red light that can only be seen after the purple energy rises in the east.  ??The development of Xu State after it was officially founded and Xiao Hao officially ascended the throne has rapidly exceeded everyone's expectations, even leaving many traditional officials wondering what to do.  Lan Hai and others found Xiao Hao many times and could no longer handle the current government affairs; the Han Zong Legalists and Mohists were also at a loss. Under Xiao Hao's guidance, the sudden emergence of capital power caught everyone off guard.  And under such circumstances, Xuguo expanded externally and continued to improve internally.  All kinds of politics, things, etc. beyond people's imagination began to appear.  When we enter April.  Under Xiao Hao's guidance, an unprecedented ideological enlightenment movement broke out.  People began to think, think about heaven and earth, think about life, think about country, think about everything.  Driven by this ideological enlightenment movement and guaranteed by the health of the whole society, Xuguo himself actually held a scene where a hundred schools of thought contended!  "Civilians participated, businessmen participated, retired soldiers participated, officials also participated in person, and even slaves who had just gained free status, and some reckless men Xu Guo, in just a few months.  Become a stranger to everyone!  Countless officials had to retire sadly and really didn¡¯t know how to deal with it.  But then countless social elites took their places. A healthy country will never lack talents!  And the sudden outbreak of ideological enlightenment movement provided Xuguo with a large number of talents.  Eventually, the ideological enlightenment movement spread to every corner of society.  Schools, the military, the government, commerce, agriculture, the newly emerged industry People began to think about this. In Xuguo, a relatively pure land that has not been "polluted" by the thinking of nine-rate workers, people began to use new perspectives.  Examine magical powers, examine luck, and think about social life.  , thinking about the future.  The most important thing is that I suddenly no longer have the oppression of the feudal era.  After people find that they have blue sky and white clouds above their heads, they are eager to find their new position and meaning.  Xiao Hao is just providing simple guidance and precautions, without any specific interference.  The ideological enlightenment movement is the most important thing in Xuguo today, and it is related to the future development of Xuguo.  Xiao Hao did not use thoughts from another world to force people to accept anything. It was guidance, and only guidance.  Of course, we must be vigilant against dangerous ideas and even stifle them when necessary.  And the benefits of Xu Guo¡¯s previous killing of 11 masters of the Sun and the Moon are finally revealed at this time.When it comes out, people no longer worship it!  If you don¡¯t worship others, of course you have to think about yourself.  Countless people traveled and gave speeches, and a large number of books began to be published; with Xiao Hao's push behind the scenes, books began to be cheap and cheap beyond imagination!  Newspapers were also quietly launched. In just one month, newspapers became an important platform for the Enlightenment Movement.  But on the other hand, Xiao Hao also clearly realized that the Enlightenment was good, but if it was not controlled well, things could easily change. In the past society that had been suppressed for thousands of years, people's thoughts had actually been distorted.  , only this kind of ideological enlightenment can lead people out of the quagmire; but it is also because they have been suppressed for tens of thousands of years, and once they are liberated, their thoughts will often go to the other extreme.  And this requires Xiao Hao to grasp.  ??Also, Xiao Hao also has ideas about the economic crisis, the brother of capital.  But based on the situation of Xuguo and Dongsheng Shenzhou, it is estimated that there will be no need to worry about economic crisis within a hundred years.  In this new Xu Kingdom, all changes are rapid. Maybe people will find that the world has changed a lot as soon as they open their eyes.  However, under Xiao Hao's guidance, people did not go too crazy, but remained sober and rational.  "Drive" A team of carriages and horses rolled in from the north.  You can tell by looking at the decorations on the carriages and horses that they are not from Xu Guo.  This is Chen Guonan Gongzhi¡¯s team from the south!  After seven months of visiting and studying, Nangong Zhi finally decided to return.  Seven months, Nangong Zhi really doesn¡¯t want to go back, there is still a lot to learn here.  Butbut it's very helpless.  As the commander-in-chief of the north, he needs to go back; on the other hand, it is the most common drama in the palace, infighting!  Fight!  Even Xu Guo knew that there were rumors within Chen Guo that Nangong Zhi was going to treason.  Under such circumstances, even if he won the trust of King Chen, Nangong Zhi had to go back.  The most important thing is during these seven months.  Nangong Zhi has seen too many changes in Xuguo; and with the comparison, he can more clearly realize that the crisis of a new era is inevitable!  The Rising Sun is like the sun rising in the east. When he is still under the sea, he does not feel it; but when the rising sun rises in the east, it not only releases its own rays of light, but also illuminates the world and drives away the darkness. Darkness, and then  There is no ability to drive this radiant rising sun back into the darkness!  A fierce tiger is fine until it comes down the mountain; but once it comes down, it will definitely turn white and frightened.  This Xu country.  It¡¯s this tiger!  And only Nangong Zhi, who has lived in Xu Kingdom for more than half a year and paid attention to the changes before and after Xu Kingdom was officially founded, has a deeper understanding of this "tiger"!  If Chen Guo does not follow Xu Guo's footsteps, then the future prospects of Chen Guo will be worrying.  When Nangong Zhi heard that Xu Guo had won one victory after another on the front line, and heard that one easy and unimaginable battle after another, Nangong Zhi woke up with horror.  Under the so-called three-dimensional fighting method of Xuguo's political, social system, and all-round combat, the old feudal system is like a piece of rotten wood, which will fly into pieces and teeter on the rocks at the slightest poke.  Many times the so-called battle is when thousands of soldiers from the Xu Kingdom come to the city with flags high, and the gate opens automatically!  As an old general, Nangong Zhi is not afraid of war, whether it is a cruel war of attrition or a sudden encounter.  Even a fatal war cannot scare Nangong Zhi.  But Nangong Zhi is afraid of such a centrifugal battle!  Nangong Zhi was awakened from sleep countless times at night. The scene in his dream was this: a small group of soldiers from the Xu Kingdom arrived, and then the gate of the Chen Kingdom suddenly opened.  People rose up one after another. At this time, the monarchs, ministers and generals of Chen State did not know that their rear areas had rebelled!  Just like Xiao Hao said, this is a fire. Now this fire can no longer be extinguished, and has begun to start a prairie fire!  Now, as the ideological enlightenment movement of Xu State is unfolding in a mighty way, it has gradually had a serious impact on the surrounding countries.  Nangong Zhi even saw students from Chen State in Xuguo's school. They came to Xuguo to seek learning opportunities at the cost of one fortune coin and one thousand taels of gold a year.  For these foreign students who have paid expensive tuition fees.  Xu Guo actually treats everyone equally!  Yes, all are treated equally; after they paid all the tuition fees, Xuguo completely opened up their education that has now produced results to complete the training of these young people.  It is conceivable that when these young people return to Chen State, they will inevitably stir up troubles and make Chen State unstable.  In fact, Nangong Zhi really hopes that Xu Guo will not educate the students of Chen Guo so wholeheartedly; but the reality is Xiao Hao personally spoke, and the country should be governed in accordance with the law. Honor and credibility are equally precious. Once a promise is made, it must be implemented.  Of course, this is Xiao Hao's statement to the outside world; but as an old fox, how could Nangong Zhi not see Xiao Hao's deeper meaning? This bastard is cultivating elements of chaos in Chen's country!  "Two years at most, when these have passed Xu Guopei'sThe young people raised will return to Chen State and begin their struggle in life.  Although Xu Guo did not openly send troops to Chen Guo, they were able to cultivate so-called spokespersons in Chen's country!  What kind of pro-Xu Guo political power or even local political power should be cultivated!  By the way, after learning about these plans customized by the Xu Kingdom's internal military staff (for other countries), Nangong Zhi didn't follow anyone all night.  Now, Nangong Zhi had to prepare to return to Chen State quickly and prepare to use his knowledge in the past seven months to promote reforms in Chen State.  Nangong Zhi has already thought of how to reform the law, slowly and to a limited extent, to improve the status of civilians and businessmen, and slowly restrict the rights of some nobles, mainly those that are completely illegal, such as ridiculous rights, or even  Crazy things.  Nangong Zhi is also a veteran in playing politics, otherwise he would never be able to secure his current position.  Therefore, during these seven months, Nangong Zhi thought repeatedly and constantly studied Xu Guo's current thoughts. He really found a feasible way, which was to slowly figure it out and change in two aspects;  The upper class started to change from kings, royal relatives, and then nobles, while the lower class started from commoners and tried to gradually liberate some slaves.  Squeezing the middle layer toward the middle layer in both directions is always the most critical.  This method is slow and the most suitable for Chen Guo. The only disadvantage is that it takes time, which may be ten or twenty years.  But does Chen Guo still have ten years left?  Maybe when the Xu Kingdom is strong enough, even if the Xu Kingdom doesn't send troops, a few random provocations will be enough to cause chaos in the country!  And Xu Guo can provoke without leaving any trace, and no one can find a problem.  "Drive" Nangong Zhi was anxious and led the team to gallop.  Although the speed of the fifth team was seriously affected by the presence of carriages, the speed of the team was still very fast.  While riding the horse, Nangong Zhi looked at the surrounding environment. The road he was taking now was the road that connected Liguang City to Xishan Town and turned directly to Chen State.  Because the founding of the People's Republic of China was only a short time after all, the main road from Liguang City to Lizhou and then connecting Qinzhou and Chen was under construction.  But even after turning a corner, it is still a pleasure to run on such a road.  But looking at these avenues, Nangong Zhi seemed to see blood vessels, in which people's enthusiasm and the country's wealth flowed.  This is a ten-foot-wide avenue, divided into two sides, with each side being a five-foot-wide one-way passage.  Moreover, the five-foot passage is divided into three small roads, namely one-foot, two-foot, and two-foot. The central one with a width of one foot is the express passage, which is the express passage for fast horses in the post station; the rest are ordinary passages.  Because of the carriage, Nangong Zhi could only take the ordinary passage.  But every 20-50 miles there will be a large disk, which is a small square with a radius of 50 feet that suddenly expands in the middle of the avenue. Here you can change directions, switch roads, etc., and this is often the traffic of a major road.  hub.  Along the way, you can see countless large and small caravans moving on this avenue, some fast and some slowly. Moreover, the caravans here are very conscious and avoid the innermost fast lane, and the slowest ones are automatically on the outermost.  Walk along the road, and the faster one will pass in the middle.  Looking at this orderly society, all Nangong Zhizhi did was press his lips tightly and feel too much pressure!  In just three years, Xu Guo turned the mess left by Dali Wangting into the Pearl of the East; three years ago, everyone wanted to take a piece of meat from Dali Wangting, but now everyone is starting to fear it.  Xu Guo has already erupted.  There are also people selling fodder and cleaning roads next to the road. After all, there are three main types of fleets now: oxen, horses, and mules. Oxen are powerful, horses are fast, and mules are the cheapest.  Since it is operated by animal power, of course it requires gnawing grass, peeing, etc., which requires clearing the road.  But the surrounding villagers like this job very much. It is easy and can make a little extra money; and cow dung and the like are also very good fuel in rural areas.  Even in some rural areas, cow dung and horse dung are still used as building materials because they contain a lot of fiber.  Looking at the businessmen with bright smiles passing by, Nangong Zhi felt a lot of pressure in his heart.  The expansion of Xu Kingdom frightens Nangong Zhi because he doesn¡¯t even know how to stop it!  The upper echelons were supported by the Han Zong Legalists and the Mohists, and the West also had the Fengguo, Zajia, and Li Zong Legalists who followed suit; here, the opponents in these aspects were surprisingly consistent and jointly ignited the flames of the new era.  Strive for glory.  How should Chen Guo go in the future?  This heavy topic has always haunted Nangong Zhi.  (To be continued.)
