I have Futian in my heart

Chapter 908 Ida
The labor force used in this is very large, and it is the heaviest coolie work.The kind that can easily kill you.

If there is not enough nutritional supplements, rest, it is absolutely normal to build a city and die a lot of people.

Fortunately, Zheng Xiaoming's status can guarantee food supply.

He has his own caravan, which can sell all kinds of goods from Zongzhou to Chengzhou in an endless stream, and transport a large amount of supplies...

You know, Zheng Xiaoming is no longer the original Zheng Boyou in history, but Zheng Boming.Now it is no longer the state of Zheng in history, but it has come to Xiangshui Zhiyang, why is it still called Zheng Bo?The country is also called Zheng Guo?

That was naturally because Zheng Xiaomingzong still had a fief on the outskirts of Zhou Haojing called Zheng.

Therefore, the city originally built by Zheng Boyou between Heluo and Zheng Guojian in history was called Xinzheng.

Therefore, the city that Zheng Xiaoming is now building in Xiangshui Zhiyang can also be called Xinzheng.

But Zheng Xiaoming felt that since the city was built in Xiangshui Zhiyang, it would be better to call it Xiangyang!
So now the newly built city is called Xiangyang.

This Xiangyang city cannot be built in one or two years, especially the city wall, which takes longer.

Therefore, to build a city in this era, the first thing to do is to build the Miyagi, which is the palace where the monarch lives.These palaces are all protected by city walls, called Miyagi.

Then wait for the palace city to be built, then build the inner city, and finally consider the outer city after the inner city is completed.

Of course, only a city with complete functions can be so organized. Most cities, even the capitals of some small countries, can build a palace city, and the inner city is already remarkable.

The palace city that Zheng Xiaoming chose is on the mountainside, facing the river, easy to defend but difficult to attack.

His army and subjects are now stationed on the plains below the Miyagi.

But now the biggest function of Zheng Xiaoming's army is to attack everywhere, attack the savages around, capture enough captives to be slaves, and build a city for himself.

You can't follow your own countrymen to do this kind of hard work, can you?

Of course, there are also some city-building slaves sent from surrounding countries.

In addition, it is necessary to delineate well fields around the city for slaves to cultivate.

These well fields are also called public fields, which nominally belong to the king of Zhou.Is it possible that the whole world is the king's land!

But in fact, because it was entrusted to Zheng Xiaoming, Zheng Bo, these public lands belong to Zheng Xiaoming...but this is also in name.In fact, it belongs to all citizens.

This is the well field system that later generations of Confucianism admired very much and always wanted to restore.Everyone has no private property, the world is for the public!

However, in fact, this well field is actually similar to the situation in ancient Greece and Rome in the West.The people of the country do not cultivate themselves, but drive slaves to cultivate.

Ida just doesn't exploit his own countrymen, but there must be someone to exploit.

It has to be said that the production level of public fields, that is, well fields, is still very high.At any time, intensive large-scale production is the best trend of agricultural development, and the small-scale peasant economy has no future.

The production efficiency of this kind of unified sowing and farming in Ida is still very high!
However, human nature is selfish, and everyone likes to benefit from the public for their own personal benefit, and poach the corners of the public.

In fact, in addition to the public fields such as well fields, there are also private fields.They were originally low-quality, small and scattered fields.

But now everyone, mainly the nobles at all levels, are trying their best to develop their own private land and divide the public land secretly.

So in fact, in this era, Ida has become somewhat difficult to move forward.In a few decades, the countries in the Central Plains will begin to carry out privatization reforms, divide the land, and begin to recognize private ownership of the land, but they need to pay taxes to the monarch.

This is from the well field system to the initial tax mu!
Now Zheng Xiaoming has done everything in one step, and is ready for the initial taxation.

However, during the construction of the city, it is more efficient to build a mine field.

When the city is built and settled down, the land and slaves will be directly distributed.

As for the emancipation of slaves or something, it is still early in this era.Half a step ahead is a genius, one step ahead is a madman.

Zheng Xiaoming doesn't want to be attacked as a lunatic!
However, you can’t do things like freeing slaves, but you can try to implement the county system in a covert manner to increase the scale of the monarch’s actual control over the land.

To avoid the embarrassing situation of having no territory, no money, and no manpower, like other monarchs, after decades.

At that time, it was the beginning of the troubled times in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the beginning of the collapse of rituals and music, lamented by Confucius!

Because by that time, the system that had maintained the Great Zhou’s strength had begun to decline in an all-round way, and it could no longer be controlled.

Zheng Xiaoming is lucky now, he traveled here on the eve of Zhou Li's complete decline.

In a few decades, after King You, even if he crossed over to become the King of Zhou, he would still be trapped in a city of sorrow, and there was nothing he could do!

As for the name of Prince Zhou, it is even more worthless.

The era of King Xuan was the last glorious era of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Of course, King Xuan was in a daze in his later years, and it doesn't matter if he has been defeated repeatedly.Then there is the legendary King You of the Fenghuo opera princes, and then King Ping Dongqian.

Da Zhou completely lost the core land of Zong Zhou, and Cheng Zhou was surrounded by vassal states, large and small. No one had money, so he could only watch himself weaken a little bit.

Of course, Zheng Boming's good grandson Zheng Zhuanggong also kicked Da Zhou, accelerating the decline of Da Zhou.

Of course, in this historical time and space, everything has changed because of Zheng Xiaoming's arrival.

Zheng Guo is no longer even near Cheng Zhou, and there should be no more "good grandsons" like Zheng Zhuanggong.

······
······
In the dead of night, Zheng Xiaoming seemed to be sleeping in the thatched hut where he lived temporarily, but he was actually wandering around the surrounding land in his dreams.

His movement alarmed Taishi Boyang, because Taishi Boyang had the same ability.

However, after Taishi Boyang saw clearly that it was Zheng Xiaoming, he stopped pouring in and began to carve characters on the bamboo slips with a carving knife.

What he recorded was the history of Zheng Guo's construction of the city.

In this era, less important documents would be written on bamboo slips with a brush.

The important ones will be engraved on the bamboo slips!
The most important ones, those that need to be passed on to future generations, and those that will be seen by future generations, must be engraved on bronze wares.Later generations will call the inscriptions inscribed on the bronzes found in the bronze inscriptions, which are the most important ancient documents.

The things recorded by Taishi Boyang now, after the city is built, a batch of bronze wares will be cast, engraved on those bronze wares, and then hidden in the ancestral temple, becoming the treasures of the ancestral temple worshiped by future generations.That is, the inscription on the bronze ware "forever treasured use".

This is the foundation of a country, and it can also suppress luck!
