I have Futian in my heart

Chapter 906
Although King Li of Zhou was very unbearable in the history books of later generations, he appointed Duke Rong Yi to implement a "patent", that is, to monopolize the mountains, forests, rivers and lakes in the name of the country, and not allow Chinese people to enter hunting and fishing.

In the end, he was rioted by the people of the country and was driven to Yidi, and only then did the famous Zhou Zhao Gonghe in the history books come into existence.

In short, what King Zhou Li recorded in the history books is a complete villain.

However, in reality, from the eyes of the Great Zhou royal family, what King Li did was not wrong, he just offended the "Chinese people", that is, the middle and lower noble groups, and was kicked out of power by the Chinese people. .

Because according to the regulations since ancient times, flat land and cultivated land belong to all the emperors, nobles, and even all the people of the country.

However, the mountains, rivers and forests belong to the emperor's private property!
The Shanglinyuan and other systems of the emperor in the Han Dynasty all continued this point.

In the West, there is a similar system, that is, all forests belong to the lord.Only with the permission of the lord, the common people can enter and hunt.

But in Dazhou, there are too many mountains, rivers and forests, and it is impossible to guard them.The so-called private property of King Zhou is already empty talk.It has already been hunted and fished by countless Chinese and savages.

In the era of King Li, because most of the land between Zong Zhou and Cheng Zhou had already been enfeoffed, it was difficult to entrust the nobles with any more land.And because of the reduction of land and no financial resources, we can only reiterate that the mountains, rivers and forests are privately owned by the king of Zhou, and the people of the country have to pay taxes when they enter.

In this way, King Li accumulated a large sum of money and launched several large-scale wars against the Siyi.Especially for the conquest of E and Huaiyi, they are all aimed at controlling the copper mines, and they are definitely not simple militarism.

Of course, the king was defeated and the king was defeated. In the end, King Li was kicked out of power by the people of the country because of his military failure.But it is definitely not because of any patent tyranny.

It was in the thirty-seventh year, that is, after he had been the king of Zhou for thirty-seven years, that King Li was kicked out of power by a coup, and the coffin was finalized.

Therefore, even Zheng Xiaoming, the son of King Li, would never dare to say a good word about King Li at this time.

And the biggest reason why King Li was kicked out back then was probably because of the captured land of E State, and the copper mines such as Tonglu Mountain were finally taken away by the people of Chu State.

Hearing this, Qing Lang also smiled and said: "Taishi don't worry! Although Chu people are good at water warfare, they are not good at land warfare. If they dare to attack me, let them taste the power of my chariot!"

In this era when there is no more mobile cavalry, the most powerful land warfare is the chariot.

What, why is there no cavalry in this era?
Because of archaeological findings, the horses of this era have very small carrying capacity.

It may take hundreds or thousands of years to breed a horse that can be ridden.

So in this era, not only were there no war horses, but even nomads.

Archeology has found that the emergence of nomads was much later than most people imagined.

The first time that the civilization of the Central Plains really encountered the threat of nomadic civilization, it will be the time when the Xiongnu in the middle and late period of the victory!

The reason why the Chu people were able to snatch Tonglushan and other places from the Zhou people in the end was that Edi was too far away from the core area of ​​the Great Zhou like Zong Zhou and Cheng Zhou.

Another important factor is that the place is suitable for Chu people's boat divisions and infantry to fight.

On the contrary, it is difficult for Da Zhou's chariot to exert its combat effectiveness in such a dense water network!

But now Xiangshui Zhiyang is different. If Chu people dare to invade, let them taste the power of chariots!
And to be honest, this place is not too far from Cheng Zhou.Once critical, it is easy to wait for the support of Cheng Zhou's Eighth Division.

Under Zheng Xiaoming and Qing Lang's explanation, the Tai Shi finally felt relieved, and said: "If the people of Chu are willing to negotiate, then we can give a little bit more benefits!"

Zheng Xiaoming shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Chu people are greedy, once we show weakness here, Chu people will definitely open their mouths like a lion!"

It's okay to benefit Chu people, but not too much, lest they spoil their appetite.

At this time, someone suddenly came to report: "Zeng Bowen sent an envoy to see the king!"

Zheng Xiaoming was taken aback for a moment, then laughed: "Please!"

Taishi Boyang also laughed when he heard the words, and said: "Zeng Guo is a great country in the Eastern Han Dynasty, a descendant of Nangong, I am afraid that he is also here to give gifts when he comes here this time!"

Zeng Guo is also one of the concubines of Hanyang, and one of the so-called four friends of King Wen of Zhou Wen. Later, after assisting King Wu to destroy the Shang, he was entrusted to Zeng to protect the most important route of Jin Daoxi.

That is to say, the copper ore and tin ore mined in Tonglu Mountain and other places in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River were transported back to Zongzhou and Chengzhou.

Therefore, Zeng State was also one of the most important vassal states of the Zhou Dynasty.

Well, historically this is a vanished country that is almost never documented.

It wasn't until the unearthed and excavated later that it was discovered that this Zeng country was the country of Eastern Han recorded in the history books, and Sui was the big Sui country.

Of course, Zheng Xiaoming doesn't know history.Uh, he had read history books at the end of the Han Dynasty, but he hadn't read the records about Zeng Guo.

It wasn't until we came to this period of historical time and space that we realized that there was such an important big country.

Soon, Mu Zai, the son of Zeng Guo, who could also be called Sui Guo, walked in, followed by others. After seeing Zheng Xiaoming, he hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

Zheng Xiaoming didn't dare to be negligent, and returned the gift.

That young master Mu laughed and said: "I heard that Uncle Zheng is here, my father specially sent me to pay a visit. He also gave me a small gift, and I hope that Uncle Zheng will not dislike him."

Talking about asking someone to offer a map, they actually offered two cities.

Although the Zeng State was far away in Zengdi, hundreds of miles away from Xiangshui Zhiyang, it developed all the way to a place not far from Xiangshui Zhiyang, and built several stronghold cities.At this moment, it was directly sent up as a gift.

Not only that, but also a large number of bronze wares and bronze ore were sent along with the city.

Zeng Guo is the most important node in the south of the Da Zhou Jin Dao Tin, and there are naturally a large number of bronze wares and bronze ore in the country.And for the bronze casting technology, it has reached a place that can be described as uncanny workmanship. '

The first is a set of bronze tripods and guis, with a total of seven small bronze tripods and six bronze guis.

The so-called emperor has nine tripods and eight cups, and princes have seven tripods and six cups.

This is a set of gifts for princes.

Of course, this Zeng Bo is rich and powerful, once he makes a gift, it must not be just seven tripods and six cups.In addition, there is actually a complete set of chimes.

The so-called Zhongming Dingshi is nothing more than that.

Dinggui are used for eating, and chime bells are of course used for playing music.

This is the treatment that only the top nobles can enjoy in this era.

However, this is not the end. After the tripod and the chimes, the real treasures at the bottom of the box were lifted up.

The last thing is often the most valuable thing.

The last thing presented was a moiré copper bar made by the lost wax method.
