Chapter 909
Every year, the king of Zhou would cast a large number of these bronze wares as rewards to the princes of the world, or his officials.

Of course, when there is no major issue, they are usually given "gold" directly, that is, bronze, and let them cast it into various items by themselves.

"In the twenty-two year, Zheng Bo built a city in the Yang of the Xiangshui River, and sent tens of thousands of people and wild people, named Xiangyang..."

While these words were engraved on the bamboo slips, they also emitted light word by word, illuminating the twilight dreamland, like stars with bright colors.

This is the power of civilization. Civilization has opened up fields in this barren and ignorant place.

This is the unique power of the Zhou family!
The so-called Xia Shangzhong, Yin Shanggui, and Zhou Shangwen.

The literature advocated by Zhou people is civilization, or humanities.

It is not without reason that some people in later generations called the Duke of Zhou, who founded the entire Great Zhou world, the ancestor of the humanities.

In the Shang Dynasty, the kings of Shang claimed to be the sons of the Emperor of Heaven, and death meant returning to the heaven and the Emperor of Heaven.

Therefore, life is just a short journey, and as a king of Shang, he just governs the world on behalf of the Emperor of Heaven, so the biggest task is to please the Emperor of Heaven and the gods.

So they bloody slaughtered captives, cattle and sheep, burned a large amount of gold, silver, jade and silk, and sacrificed to the emperor and gods to win their favor.

After Zhou destroyed Shang, all kinds of messy sacrifices, especially human sacrifices, were cancelled.

Although Zhou Wang called him the Son of Heaven, he no longer relied on the power of ghosts and gods to rule, but began to rely on blood relatives to rule the whole world.

The people of Zhou established a complete set of patriarchal relations with blood as the link, and the relationship with the princes was determined by the blood relationship with the emperor of Zhou, and it became the link between the countries.

So on this land, the vassal states of the Ji family of the Zhou people, the Jiang family of the ally and marriage partner, and many younger brothers, Yong, Shu, Qiang, Wei, Wei, Lu, Peng, and Pu states.

Coupled with the Deng State, Song State, etc. formed by the conquered merchant survivors, a complete Tianxia system was formed.

These countries are all members of the Tianxia system established by King Zhou, and they can all be called Huaxia and Zhuxia.

And this does not include those barbarian Rongdi, and there are many savage tribes.

At this moment, Zheng Xiaoming is wandering in a muddy world on the edge of the dream, this is Guitu, and you can see the little fires, like a sky full of stars, distributed on the vast and dark land.

Every point of fire represents a country, a city in the Zhuxia system.

From a distance, it looks like a sky full of stars.

And the two most dazzling stars undoubtedly represent where Zong Zhou is and where Cheng Zhou is.

These are the two capitals of the Zhou people, just like the sun and the moon, and the fires of other civilizations exist around these two cities.

His eyes moved, and he looked towards himself, where Xiangyang was, and a flame began to ignite, like a dim star.

Only as the construction here is strong, will it shine and become stronger and stronger.

His eyes moved a little, and he saw another spark of civilization.

That is not quite the same as the fire of civilization under the patriarchal system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, another fire.Distributed like a long river.

This should belong to the civilization of the Chu people. The Chu people entered the Yangtze River from the upper reaches of the Han River along the banks of the Han River, and then relying on the banks of the Yangtze River, they continued to develop downstream and eventually formed a behemoth.

Of course, the power of the Chu people is still on both sides of the Han River and the Yangtze River. At most, it has only reached the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and has not yet developed to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

Therefore, the Chu people's cities are also on both sides of the Jianghan, and most of them are still on the south bank.

From the perspective of Guitu, it looks like a galaxy.

In the distance, there are also dots of flames, which are all civilizations that do not belong to the patriarchal clan system of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

More are not even considered civilizations, and are still in the barbaric stage of ignorance and uncivilization.

Even though people from Chu call themselves barbarians!However, it is actually a marginal member under the patriarchal system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and its civilization is also a branch of the so-called Zhuxia.

It's just because at the time of King Li, the people of Chu and Da Zhou had a complete falling out.Then Chu Xiongqu said the words of the famous I Barbarian!

Zheng Xiaoming's eyes quickly shifted from the fire of Chu people's civilization, and he soon found a dim star around him that did not belong to the Great Zhou Tianxia system.

This is a dark star, which represents the real barbarians.

This star is only two or three hundred miles away from Xiangyang, and it is much bigger than the surrounding "stars".

And those stars represent Zhuxia, several small countries under the patriarchal system dominated by the Great Zhou.

And this barbarian star is actually stronger than the surrounding small countries.

This made Zheng Xiaoming slightly surprised: "Why is there such a powerful barbarian country around here?"

A simple barbarian tribe cannot form such a star, which is the so-called spark of civilization.

This shows that the strength and civilization of this barbarian country have reached a certain level.

"How can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch?"

Zheng Xiaoming's heart skipped a beat, and he had already decided to attack this barbarian country.

Just when Zheng Xiaoming was about to attack this barbarian country, he heard Taishi Boyang's voice saying: "My lord, wait a minute!"

Zheng Xiaoming was slightly taken aback, seeing that Taishi Boyang, who had been writing hard in the real world, followed him back to the earth at some point, and couldn't help asking: "Why did Taishi stop me?"

Taishi Boyang said: "The country of the barbarians is the country of Lu Rong. I am not trying to stop the monarch, but I think that Qing Lang should lead troops to attack the country of Lu Rong. Qing Lang was sent by the king!"

Contrary to the common sense of many people, the Emperor Zhou's control over the vassal states is still quite strict.

Because the armies of all the vassal states are under the control of the "Qing" sent by King Zhou.

Even the chief civil servants in the vassal states were sent by the King of Zhou.

This is exactly the same as in the Han Dynasty, when the emperor of Han sent the prime minister to the country, and the Taiwei went to lead the state affairs of the vassal states.

The same is true of Zheng Xiaoming's Zheng Guo, whose subordinates are also controlled by Qing Lang sent by King Zhou.

However, because this era is still the era of tribal politics.

Big nobles like Zheng Xiaoming have people, even tribes, inherited from their parents.So it's really hard to say how much power these ministers and doctors can control in the princes' country!
The so-called Qing Lang's Qing and Tai Shi Boyang's Tai Shi are both official positions.And Lang, and Bo are the names of the two.

Because they both belong to the Ji family, their real names are Ji Lang and Ji Boyang.

Taishi is Sima Qian's Taishi Ling, who had a high status and great power in the Zhou Dynasty.Basically replaced the status of the wizard of the merchant.It also represents that humanities are better than witches.

And Qing is the official post sent by King Zhou to command the troops of the princes!
At this moment, Lu Rongguo's strength is not bad, but Taishi Boyang asked Qing Lang to lead his troops to conquer.There are many meanings in this!

Zheng Xiaoming glanced at Tai Shi Boyang for a few times, fell silent for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay!"
