Prehistoric six ears against the sky

Chapter 104
On the day of succession, Emperor Xin held a banquet for the officials. Wang Shu Bigan recommended the daughter of Dongbo Hou Jiang Huanchu. The Queen Mother nodded in agreement and ordered Dongbo Hou Jiang Huanchu to teach his daughter well.Sun Ming didn't express any opinions. Only Wang Shu Bigan and the Queen Mother can make decisions about this kind of matter. He has no autonomy in matters of marriage.

Eight hundred princes left Chaoge together, and Chaoge returned to calm. The common people were very curious about the king who had just succeeded to the throne. How could a six-year-old child become a king?

The name of Sun Ming's genius has long been spread throughout Chaoge, and it is the same in the surrounding area under the control of the royal power, and Sun Ming began to perform the duties of the king for the first time, the first court meeting after he ascended the throne.

The first court meeting did not deal with any matters, but the prime minister Shang Rong and the grand master Wen Zhong reported on their work respectively, one was the specific situation of the people's livelihood in the Shang Dynasty, and the other was how the armed forces of the Chaoge army were.

Sun Ming sat on the throne with his young body and listened carefully. First of all, Grand Master Wen Zhong reported on the military equipment of the army. This is relatively less in content. After all, the armies of the princes are not under the control of Grand Master Wen Zhong. , although nominally the commander of Chaoge, but in fact the armies of the princes listen to the princes, and when you say rebellion, he also rushes after listening.

Sun Ming is very dissatisfied with this point. The combined strength of the eight hundred princes is much greater than that of Chaoge, but the strength of dozens of princes alone is not Chaoge's opponent, but no matter how many troops there are, there will be no strength. This is the main reason why Xiqi can win in the end. There are too many rebellious princes.

The power of centralization is too weak, and Sun Ming still has a long way to go if he wants to change this situation, especially after Fengming Qishan, Xiqi rebelled, and his followers were like a cloud. Defeated, of course, this is the prehistoric place, and there are ascetics fighting inside, the Master Tongtian was besieged and defeated by the Four Saints, and traitors also appeared in the last Ten Thousand Immortals Formation.

After listening to it, Sun Ming had a clear understanding of the power in his hands. Ordinary things in the world cannot be measured by spells and supernatural powers. If he does it himself, then the sage will definitely do it, and the unlucky ones will still be mortals. Sun Ming is not worried about being able to solve problems with ordinary power.From the beginning of the world to the present, although Sun Ming has stayed in the prehistoric world for countless years, he has never forgotten that he is from the developed era of the earth, and the amount of knowledge is not comparable to that of people in this era.

Even a sage can't match the knowledge possessed by Sun Ming, but there is a problem. Sun Ming studied Chinese medicine, and technology is not his strong point. Don't you know how to refine weapons?If it doesn’t work, try using the method of refining. Anyway, ascetics have magical methods, and there must be unexpected results. At the same time, the experiment is also convenient and fast. The divine sense can draw blueprints. Thinking of this, Sun Ming didn’t speak, and continued to listen to Wen Zhong’s words .

The current weapons are all supported by bronze, they are very heavy, and they are not sharp at the same time, so they are not easy to polish. The application of bows and arrows is not very high, and the main problem is the manufacturing technology.At the same time, there are heavy weapons such as chariots and charging cars. It is not practical to say that heavy weapons are used. The battle formation is just drawn by war horses. There are spikes protruding from the center shaft of the car, and the effect of charging is very ordinary.

The charging car is just a wooden plank in front, which is full of sharp knife points, and the charging car is pushed by people at the back. It is very heavy, barely considered a sharp weapon, and the manufacturing cost is not low.

There are no established cavalry. After all, there are no three treasures of saddles, stirrups, and horseshoes. Cavalry training is too difficult. , then forming an army of cavalry, this kind of combat power is almost doubled, but now is not the time.

After Wen Zhong finished speaking and retreated, the generals nodded their heads. Chaoge's military strength has a lot to do with Wen Zhong. Although he is a cultivator, he is very outstanding in military affairs and invincible .

Prime Minister Shang Rong began to report on the people's livelihood, and Sun Ming also understood after talking about it. For the current Chaoge, the people's livelihood is only controlled by the royal family's land, while the princes are not under their control. The princes from all over the country have their own territories. Although it is generally not large, it is basically a city, and then radiates out. It is estimated to be the size of a county in later generations, and it is a poor county with a small population. The minimum is tens of thousands, and the maximum is no more than 20.

If it weren't for the fact that the princes have too much water, Sun Ming would like to send troops to level them all now. If he concentrates power in his own hands, he doesn't like power, but he wants to develop people's livelihood, so he must have enough power, otherwise it is equal to In vain.

Commerce is not very developed. Generally, the princes have their own caravans, and they travel between the princes for trade. The transaction is basically based on barter. The current currency is not common, and the princes have minted coins. It can only be circulated within its own range, which affects the circulation of commodities, and every time the tribute is also a local specialty, such as the seaside, the tribute of pearls and corals, and the attacking medicinal materials and animal skins of the backers, such a variety There are many kinds of strange things in the treasury of the palace.

Sun Ming knew that even if Nuwa didn't send a vixen to disrupt Chaoge, the Shang Dynasty wouldn't last long. The description of King Zhou was that when Di Xin was young, he was gifted and intelligent. It is also strong, and very powerful. It is inevitable that such a king wants to take back the power in the hands of the princes.

The princes did not want to lose their rights, which caused a lot of conflicts, and then the two sides went to war, and Di Xin lost.Of course, the specific history is unknown, anyway, the victor has already written down the history, so let's just look at it.

Not to mention the legends and history, Sun Ming knows that if he wants to take back the power of the princes, there must be a battle. He needs to prepare early to develop and strengthen Chaoge's power, and finally defeat all the princes and complete the battle directly. Unification, and then promote the social system forward, strengthen the centralization of power, and the Shang Dynasty will also be changed into an empire, so as to complete the general trend of heaven, but the small trend is up to you.

Thinking of this, Sun Ming raised his eyes and looked down, Shang Rong just finished speaking, "Gu has already understood that the current situation of our Shang Dynasty is not very good, and we need to make some changes. I wonder if all the Qing family are willing to contribute?"

"I'll follow your majesty's will." The current ministers are all good, loyal to the royal family, and capable, but their vision is not as broad as Sun Ming's.

"Very good, Uncle Wang, is the land in front leveled?" Sun Ming nodded in satisfaction, and then asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it has been completed, but is it really going to the palace?" Bigan asked hesitantly.

"It won't stop. The national strength is not strong, and it's useless to cultivate it. I will push the dynasty to the top and build an even more magnificent palace." Such a powerful momentum is like a vast ocean.Momentum is not magical power. Sun Ming has fought for countless years, and aura has penetrated into his bones. The three laws of war, force, and will are all known for their powerful aura.

Wen Zhong has never been in contact with the law, he can't see anything, he only knows that the king has great ambitions, "I am willing to help the king achieve great things."

"Okay, that's it for today. The Grand Master, Prime Minister, and Uncle Wang stay here. The rest of the court will retreat." Sun Ming waved his hand, and today's court meeting is over. This is the usual practice, and the first court meeting will not deal with official business.

Sun Ming left the three of them behind and led them directly into the apse. The political hall was also divided into front and back, with the court meeting in the front and small-scale discussions in the back.There is a low table here, and Sun Ming has no love for this kind of small table, but he didn't invent any fancy tables and chairs, it's not the time, these are just small things, let's talk about it later.

"Leaving the three of you, Gu wants to talk about Gu's plan. You must not speak to outsiders." The four sat down, and Sun Ming spoke immediately.

"Please don't worry, Your Majesty." He said inwardly, but he was puzzled in his heart. The king is only six years old. He has just heard about the government affairs, and now he has a plan?What plan?

"After listening to what you said, my Shang Dynasty is about to perish!" I was going to hear about the plan, but Sun Ming spoke coldly, and suddenly said this, scaring the three ministers almost to their knees.

"Where did your majesty say that?" Wen Zhong asked hastily.

"The royal family's rights cannot go beyond Chaoge." Sun Ming's Chaoge refers to the scope of control. Of course, there is not only one city, but there are also a large number of passes in the surrounding area.

"This..." The three of them looked at each other in blank dismay. Isn't this always the case?
"You guys are looking too close." Sun Ming shook his head, and then continued: "Although the eight hundred princes obeyed my Shang Tang, they are a king in their own territory, and there is no difference between them and me. If so, it’s just that the territory is relatively small. If one day I want to take back their rights, they will definitely rebel together. In this way, my king is nothing more than a bigger prince.”

"Please make it clear, Your Majesty." The three of them knelt in their seats, then straightened their upper bodies, and faced Sun Ming with their hands clasped in fists.

"Well, the princes rule in their respective territories. We all know that they make their own laws, but they are all for the sake of the court in name. There are no good things like this, and all the bad things are on my head. At the same time, the eight hundred princes Each has soldiers, although the number is not large, but if a hundred princes are to unite in the future, then the force will be more than that of Chaoge, so isn't this a huge hidden danger?" After finishing speaking, Sun Ming looked at Wen Zhong, this kind of thing Wen Zhong The most clear.

Wen Zhong nodded after listening, "That's true, but is the king too worried? There are many princes who are loyal to the royal family."
