Chapter 1080 The reason for the outbreak of the Conferred God Tribulation is completely different from the original plot

Half a year later, Zhang Guifang and others, who were followed by Yi Heng'e to pacify Dongyi, returned in triumph and brought back news that Dongyi had been completely controlled by Hou Yi Heng'e.

King Zhou was overjoyed, and immediately decreed that Dongyi should be established as the state of Qi, and Houyi could be named the king of Qi. He also sent a minister who was a disciple of Confucianism to Dongyi to assist Houyi with a decree to develop Dongyi.

The only thing that makes King Zhou feel a little pity is that he doesn't know what happened in the past six months. Hang'e, who had been honest with Hou Yi, became Hou Yi's queen. Wang was disappointed.

But after all, he is not the King Zhou in the original plot, and he can't do anything to rob, so he has to suppress his disappointment at the moment. Fortunately, there are also understanding, virtuous and virtuous women such as Hu Xianer and Queen Jiang, who can bring His endless comfort.

Hu Xian'er at this time is different from the nine-tailed fox possessed by Su Daji in the original plot. Although she has the talent of charm, she only uses it to add fun in the boudoir pleasure, and never actively charms King Zhou, making him only interested in it. Own obsessed.

She and her two sisters only did their duty as wives, relieved the pressure for their man, soothed the spirit, and maintained the harmony of the harem so that King Zhou didn't have to worry about the harem at all.

After the establishment of the Qi State, Hou Yi appointed the people sent by King Zhou as ministers, and developed and constructed in full accordance with King Zhou's will. He not only vigorously developed the fishing and salt industry, but also implemented land reform policies, freeing slaves as farmers and granting them to work in the fields.

In just two years, the various ethnic groups in Dongyi have changed from being in a difficult situation of food and clothing to a state of prosperity. Everyone in Qi State is grateful to King Zhou.

Even the unruly and rebellious leaders of various ethnic groups who had to surrender because of force were all sincerely convinced, and secretly rejoiced in their hearts that they surrendered to Houyi in the first place.

There are too many disadvantages in the slavery society, especially today, it has become the biggest shackle for the further development of productivity. The inhuman life and cruel exploitation and abuse make slaves hate forced labor very much.

They had no choice but to resort to passive sabotage, destruction of production tools, abuse of livestock and other methods to express resistance, and many boldly chose to flee directly. Many bankrupt civilians and small producers would rather live on charity than work for slave owners. .

Although the big merchants had abolished slavery, it was limited to the big merchants. The Dongyi kingdoms and the princes of all parties were still in the old system, and the new policies implemented by King Zhou in Qi made the slaves who had been struggling for many years finally see the dawn.

The main content of the New Deal is to divide the Dongyi land, most of it will be nationalized, and a small part will be owned by the lords of the small princes.

The condition is that the slaves must complete the prescribed production tasks within one year. As long as they can complete them, they will be freed immediately. If they cannot or are unwilling to complete them, they can become private domestic slaves of the lords.

In order to further increase the enthusiasm of the lords and slaves, in the measures of King Zhou, the freed peasants could use the land given to them for farming and labor, and [-]% of the labor income would be turned over to the original lords.

30% is turned over to the state tax, and the remaining [-]% is owned by themselves. Farmers' land occupation is not permanent, but temporarily for [-] years. As long as the stipulated annual harvest tasks can be completed, this occupation period can be increased every year to benefit future generations.

If it cannot be completed due to passive sabotage or laziness, the occupation period will be reduced or even the land will be taken back. If the harvest is poor due to natural disasters and man-made disasters, it will be calculated separately.

In addition to the harvest of their own private fields, the lords of various ethnic groups also enjoy 50% of the farmers' harvest. Their enjoyment of land and treatment is also limited to [-] years.

If these lords who are slave owners can keep their own place and abide by the decrees promulgated by the state, especially not to privately exploit the peasants or occupy their land, then this authority can also be increased every year, and the state will have an additional reward every year.

If there are special meritorious service or meritorious service, more land area can be awarded while the additional number of years is increased.

On the contrary, if you make a mistake, you will have to deduct the extra harvest years and land area. If it is a felony, all the land will be confiscated at the same time as the crime.

In short, as long as you are honest and obedient, you can basically enjoy these privileges permanently. If you don't listen, you will get nothing.

For the slave owners who have enslaved their people for many years, the New Deal undoubtedly confiscated their largest private property, slaves and land.

When it was first implemented two years ago, it naturally received great resistance, but Qi was considered a defeated country. In addition, Houyi and Heng'e used the large merchant garrison to firmly control the domestic situation, and set up a strict supervision mechanism. Any violation shall be punished as a felony.

After destroying several of the most prominent models of resistance, the lords had no choice but to surrender in order to save their lives, but the economic benefits obtained from this surrender were astonishing.

With freedom and the power of the land, the enthusiasm of the slaves for production was unprecedentedly high, even the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled. The policy of "benefit" made Qi develop rapidly, and gradually took the embryonic form of a prosperous country.

The standard of living in Qi State has been greatly improved, and while the lords are living a luxurious life that they only dreamed of before, they also understand the benefits of the New Deal.

They can continue to live this kind of happy life as long as they keep their own law and order. Under the control of force, a few people have to curb their ambition and hatred.

The new policy of land reform was a great success in the Qi State, and King Zhou made up his mind to promote it throughout Dashang, including all the vassal states, but in doing so, it planted the seeds of disaster for the rebellion of the vassals.

The general trend of the world cannot be changed, and the Great Tribulation of the Conferred Gods will inevitably erupt, but the reason for this eruption is completely different.

In the original plot, it was because King Zhou was desolate and tyrannical, and was bewitched by evil spirits, so that the world was in chaos and the people were in dire straits. He was finally attacked by the princes with righteous troops, which kicked off the prelude to the catastrophe of conferring gods.

But now, it is because of King Zhou's new policy, which benefits the country and the people, but shakes the interests of the princes.

Which reform and innovation in history was not accompanied by war?But once King Zhou's new policy is successfully implemented, it will be a great blessing to all people in the world.

Longde Palace.

King Zhou sat on the throne, quietly looked at the civil and military officials under the hall, and asked indifferently: "Do you have any objections? If there is no objection, starting tomorrow, the new policy will be fully implemented in Dashang territory."

The senior doctor Zhao Qisu was famous for his direct remonstrance, after thinking about it, he finally gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, I have this memorandum. Your Majesty pardons the slaves and grants them land. This is an act of great mercy."

"However, as far as the ministers of the brachio stock in the court and the generals as far as the border, they are fundamentally shaken and suffered heavy losses. Your Majesty has chilled the hearts of a group of courtiers because of being a lowly slave. Wouldn't it be a waste of money? Please think twice, Your Majesty."

Zhao Qi took the lead, and many ministers immediately jumped out to second the proposal. Of course, opponents also immediately came forward.

"The doctor's words are wrong!"

It was Fei Zhong who came out to object first. In the original plot, Fei Zhong, Youhun and the others are really treacherous villains. , and made a great contribution to ruining the foundation of Dashang.

But now, Fei Zhongyouhun and the others are Confucian disciples whose roots are Zheng Miaohong, and they are brothers with Shang Rongbigan and other loyal ministers.

Although they only learned Confucianism and the way of governing the country due to their aptitude, they did not learn the method of practice, but they are also ministers of great merchants with righteousness.

Only Fei Zhong shouted with awe-inspiring expression: "Don't you see that Qi State was still a barren land in the past, and the New Deal has only been implemented for two years, and the success achieved is obvious to all. Now Qi State has leapt into a prosperous country."

"Even Donglu, which has been run by Dong Bohou for many years, is inferior. Many Donglu people even disregarded strict orders and moved their families to Qi."

"If our Dashang implements the New Deal throughout the entire territory, it will not only save the suffering slaves in the world, but also make our Dashang national power several times stronger, and the world will be prosperous. This is indeed a holy act."

Fei Zhong's appearance was immediately seconded by You Hun and others.

Looking at the situation in front of the Xuanguang mirror, Xiao Peng suddenly felt dumbfounded. The notorious treacherous ministers in the original history were actually supporting the new policy that benefited the country and the people, while those loyal ministers were opposing it. ...It feels so nonsense!

Fei Zhong and others are not weak, Zhao Qi's side is not small, Mei Bo is also a bold guy, and even loudly reprimanded Fei Zhong: "Although Qi has achieved a little success with the new political system, it is after all a matter of governance. How can the barbarian's law be copied and used by my great merchant?"

"Don't confuse the king here, and harm the country and the people. Then the world will be in chaos, and I will regret it."

Regarding Mei Bo's high-profile, You Hun, who is also in Fei Zhong's camp, did not show any weakness, and responded: "Me Bo is alarmist, so bold."

"Your Majesty once said in the past that Dongyi has changed its name to Qi, and it is one of the vassal states under the jurisdiction of the Dashang. It will always serve the Dashang. From then on, there will be no distinction between merchants and barbarians. What is your intention in saying this? Please rule him alone. Alarmism, the crime of secession."

Mei Bo was at a loss for words, but King Zhou was not in a hurry to punish him, but asked Wen Taishi, prime ministers Shang Rong and Ya Bigan, "The three ministers are ministers under my arm, what's your opinion?"

"Your Majesty is the King of Kings. The old ministers and generals are deeply favored by the King, and they dare not forget that my Great Merchant soldiers are all men of iron and blood. They are loyal and loyal, and they should only obey His Majesty's holy will."

Hearing that the grand master's words expressed the military's intentions, Shang Rong also agreed, and all the ministers felt cold when they heard it.

Bigan even said: "This matter is no small matter. If it is popularized in the whole world, it will be quite difficult. Moreover, the situation of each country is different, so it is better to adapt to local conditions."

"Your Majesty, you can first implement the New Deal in the territory under your jurisdiction, and then revise it according to its progress, and call the four princes to come to the court to discuss the implementation of the laws in various places."

What Bigan said was no longer a matter of "agreement or disagreement", but the details of how to develop and implement the New Deal.

Seeing that the three important ministers agreed, and knowing that the general situation was over, they had no choice but to second their proposals. Only Zhao Qi and Mei Bo and a few stubborn old-fashioned people still insisted on "the law of the ancestors cannot be abolished" or "the foundation of the country cannot be shaken".
