I'm The Emperor of All-Heavens

Chapter 842

Two years passed quickly.

On the Chaoyang mountain, Jiang Wenhuan and Boyi Kao celebrated their graduation with their classmates in the first phase of training.

In this age when education has not been popularized, the feelings of students are particularly sincere, and they are more reluctant to part with each other on the occasion of parting.

And no better than the noble children, Jiang Wenhuan and Boyi will return to their respective vassal states after they have gone down the mountain. The noble children of foam will stay and serve their country. It is still difficult to say whether they will be enemies or friends in the future.

They were filled with emotion and drunk. They didn't wake up until the next morning. They went down the mountain together. Instead of going home immediately, they went to foam city first.

Even if learning makes them happy, anyone who has lived in the mountains for nearly two years will inevitably miss the colorful world of the world of mortals.

However, it is still several miles away from the king's capital. A shocking color has emerged between the eyebrows of the two sons.

Because they couldn't tell whether it was inside or outside the city.

The bustling streets and rows of houses are the scenery of a big city.

But I didn't arrive!

They looked back from time to time, wondering whether they had inadvertently crossed the wall of foam city.

It's so prosperous outside the city. What's the scene inside the city?

So, when the moat was in the distance, it was as high as 30 feet, tortuous as waves, and the city wall that could not be seen at a glance was printed into their eyes, so they took a breath.

Is this still the foam city two years ago?

Indeed, today's foam city was officially renamed Chaoge and expanded to all directions. It not only expanded its scale nearly three times, but also extended its array. It has already taken the prototype of a magnificent city.

This is the credit of Mohism. After strategists and Confucianism, the third volume written by Gu Cheng is the way of Mohism.

Logically speaking, there are still hundreds of years before Luban was born. Many basic tools are missing, and the start of Mohism is bound to be slow.

Fortunately, because their children studied in his Majesty's military house, the major nobles naturally wanted to repay their kindness and contribute their slaves.

Facts have proved that manpower is the best tool. When hundreds of thousands of slaves built according to the Mohist way, the scale of Chaoge expanded at an unimaginable speed.

Of course, the price is that slaves fall from time to time and can't get up again.

Bo YIKAO looked at him from a distance, showing pity.

Once he paid no attention to these slaves at the bottom, but since he learned the essence of Confucianism in school, the thought of benevolence has won his heart.

What is "benevolence"?

Treat others with a kind of kindness from the heart!

"Benevolence" means a "person" and a "two", which means that two people become "benevolence".

Slaves are also human beings and should strive for human rights. This cruel situation must be changed. I believe the father who loves his people like a son will agree.

Jiang Wenhuan looked at the efficiency of all slaves, but there was no whipping around. He also showed the color of thinking. He grabbed a pedestrian and asked, "Why are they so hard-working?"

Seeing Jiang Wenhuan's luxurious clothes and extraordinary bearing, the Xiaomin dared not neglect it. He immediately said, "Your Majesty's grace, as long as these slaves can finish their work on time, they will count the work. If they accumulate ten work, they can burn the Dan book."

The Dan book is the slave book written in vermilion. Burning the Dan book is to get rid of the slave book and restore freedom.

Doing meritorious service for the slave owner or the country is a way to get rid of slavery, but it's really hard to go to heaven. It's just a thought.

But now the construction of the king's capital, although it is also hard work, at least there is a hope, so the slaves worked in full swing and high morale.

In addition to the slaves, there were supervisory officials at the scene, replacing the slave owners who used to beat from time to time with vines.

This is the change brought about by the way of Legalism in volume IV.

In this era, there are no so-called officials, some are only high officials.

The upper level is the princes, nobles and slave owners, the middle level is the ordinary civilians, and the lower level is the slaves.

The emergence of Legalists is the birth of official administration among civilians.

Choosing cadres from civilians to assist Shangguan in governance is only an initial effect and has caused a sensation.

"Your Majesty is really a holy king!"

This act of squeezing labor force will be criticized by thousands of people in future generations, but in this era, it has become enlightened and takes into account the interests of all aspects.

The children of nobles and slave owners received higher education and lived in more spacious and comfortable mansions. The price paid was only the freedom of a small number of slaves. It was a cost-effective business in any case.

Everyone has the opportunity to become an official, which means that civilians can also have power. Naturally, they don't care about the opportunity of the rise of slaves.

For the big business royal family, this not only reduced labor expenditure, reduced the cost of expanding the capital to the extreme, but also increased cohesion and attracted the upper class, which can be described as killing several birds with one stone.

Jiang Wenhuan was greatly inspired.

He has learned a lot of art of war. He knows how to train soldiers and improve combat effectiveness, but there is a huge limitation——

Neither the big merchants nor the 800 princes have a conventional army.

War requires weapons, grain and grass, and all kinds of materials. The same is true for training.

In this era of backward productivity, unless there is a war or the most necessary guard at the Royal Palace border, there is no regular army in other places. Jiang Wenhuan has learned all kinds of skills, but he is a bare rod commander. If he wants to implement his military training method, he can't do it with civilians.

For this point, as early as on Chaoyang mountain, he discussed with Boyi Kao and considered many new policies, but there were no small disasters until now.

Isn't what king Zhou has done now the best reform?

Their eyes were as bright as stars. They didn't want to stay any longer. They went to the post station to get the horses and went to their respective fiefs.

However, the two sons did not find that among the farmers who came and went, several eyes looked at each other and watched them leave.

The fifth volume is the way of farming. Like the farmers in the Qin Dynasty, the disciples taught by this school not only improve the agricultural benefits, but also the best eyes and ears. The expressions and actions of Boyi Kao and Jiang Wenhuan fell into their eyes and reported to them at the first time.

Gu Cheng, who got the news, nodded: "it seems that they finally understand the truth of applying what they have learned."

As a Confucian scholar, Bigan taught Boyi Kao. He admired Gu Cheng's methodical reform without causing any turbulence, but he was still worried about the development of the princes: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid Jiang Huanchu and Ji Chang will not let their two sons do it, but will use it!"

Gu Cheng smiled: "when the bud of progress is born, a single spark starts to start a prairie fire, and the obstacles of old-fashioned food will only be eliminated by the general trend."

He looked at Shang Rong standing on the other side: "how about preparing for war?"

Prime Minister Shang Rong replied, "Your Majesty, master Wen and King Wucheng have gathered 100000 troops at the border!"

"Very good!"

Gu Cheng slowly got up: "cut down on the nine barbarians in the East, expand our territory, and let the princes all over the world have a look. They can't keep up with the end of change!"
