Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 909

Since King Wu defeated Zhou and established the Great Zhou Dynasty, the state of the Zhou royal family has lasted for more than 500 years.

Prince Heng believes that the power of the Zhou family is exhausted, and the state of Wu can completely replace it.

After all, Emperor Zhou had already been moved to Xianyang by Qingji to settle down, which was equivalent to house arrest.

Jiuding was also placed in the Taimiao of Wu State.

In terms of form and national power, Qingji is fully capable of abolishing Zhou and standing on his own, and unifying the world.

Why didn't Qingji agree with Tian Heng's proposition, but followed the trend?

This made Prince Heng puzzled.

Since King Ping of Zhou moved to the east, the authority of the Son of Heaven has plummeted, princes competed for hegemony, and people's hearts were scattered.

The hearts of scholars in the world are no longer biased towards the Zhou family, but gradually return to Wu, or to other vassal states.

Such a Zhou family has long existed in name only.

Regarding Prince Heng's confusion, Qingji just smiled and said, "Wu Heng, after all, you still haven't understood Tian Heng's sinister intentions."

"But most of the hearts of the people today belong to Wu. My great Wu also has absolute national power, which can force the princes not to act rashly."

"But, so what?"

After a pause, Qingji said again: "Tian Heng encouraged the widow to make the widow the emperor, and Wu Guo took the Zhou family and replaced it. On the surface, it will be of great benefit to Wu Guo, and it will make the world unified and the world will be convinced." .”

"It's just, Wu Heng, have you ever thought about it? The widow has become the co-lord of the world in name, and Wu's formal unification of the world will not become the second Zhou family?"

"The widow is the co-lord of the world, and if the princes keep their own place, why do the widow send troops to attack them? If the name is not correct, the words are not right, and things cannot be done."

"Tian Heng wants to stabilize the widow and the country of Wu, probably because he wants to kill the widow."

"This is the first thing. Second, from the perspective of the situation, if the Wu Kingdom replaces the Zhou family, it is bound to implement a system of enfeoffment, which will weaken the national strength of Great Wu and further increase the power of other countries."

"What is the use of such a formal unity?"

After all, it's not that Qingji doesn't want to further unify the world.

Rather, like the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, it has never been a "big unification" in the true sense.

At least the Queen of Xia, the King of Shang, or the Son of Heaven, they are all just "co-lords of the world", not the supreme and one-of-a-kind monarchs.

The most obvious feature is that my vassals' vassals are not my vassals.

In the early days, the emperor of Zhou could control the princes, but he could not directly control the officials of the princes.

This is not what Qingji wants to see.

……

The next day, Qingji was still in the imperial garden, admiring the flowers with Queen Ji Kui.

Zheng Dan suddenly ran over excitedly, and said to Qingji: "Your Majesty, my concubine saw a lot of strange people just now."

"who?"

"Their complexion is pitch-black. If you don't look carefully, it's really hard to identify them. They are human."

"Adan, you should be talking about black people."

"Black person?"

Qingji suddenly remembered, didn't the Persians dedicate three hundred black slaves to him yesterday?

These black slaves are very different from other Kunlun slaves.

After all, the Kunlun slaves in the state of Wu are basically yellow people from Southeast Asia.

It is said that the blacks were all captured by the Persians from the African continent.

As tribute to the Persians, the black slaves were still stranded in the palace at this time, and Qingji did not arrange a place for them, so they were temporarily detained.

Qing Ji, who came on a whim, went to the place where the black slaves were held, accompanied by Queen Ji Kui, Zheng Dan, and a group of eunuchs.

On a school yard in Xianyang Palace, a group of black slaves stood together in fear.

Their dark complexion, black wavy or curly hair, dark eyes, and broad flat noses are features that are obvious from where they come from.

"My lord, I don't know how you want to deal with these slaves?"

The order of CRRC Mansion, Jiao Hua, asked.

Before Qingji could speak, the queen Ji Kui beside him said, "Things are rare and precious. We have never seen slaves with this kind of skin color in Huaxia. If the king sells them, they will definitely sell for a good price."

Does this mean that Qing Ji is regarded as a slave trader?
Qingji is a little bit ironic.

Having said that, isn't Qingji the biggest slave trader in the world right now?
Many years ago, the number of Kunlun slaves in Wu State had exceeded one million.

I haven't counted it yet, otherwise I really don't know how many Kunlun slaves, including men, women and children, are in the territory of Wu...

"Dirty is dirty. After all, they are tall and well-raised. They must be good at doing coolies."

Zheng Dan said something.

Qingji thought about it, and said, "No need. The treasury is not short of money, and the widows don't think much of it."

"These three hundred black slaves were all castrated."

"..."

For a moment, everyone present suspected that something was wrong with their ears.

Castration?

Castrate these black people?

What a hatred!

No, no.

It should be an honor for these black slaves.

Queen Ji Pao asked rather puzzled: "Your Majesty wants to keep them in the palace and act as eunuchs?"

"Do not."

Qing Ji shook his head and said: "These black slaves, I want them to be weaved together with the Kunlun slaves and serve as labor for my Great Wu."

"This... Your Majesty, is only serving as a slave, so there is no need to castrate it, right?"

"Queen, you don't understand. If these black slaves mate with Kunlun slaves or our Wu women, the offspring must have the same skin color as them. I don't know how many generations it will take to change. "

Qing Ji said indifferently: "Furthermore, among them, there are many criminals who are evil in nature and lazy to work. If they do something beastly to the women of the Kunlun slaves, wouldn't they reproduce their offspring?"

Isn't that harmful to people?
Qingji knew their inferior nature very well.

Generally speaking, black people are generally tall.

Their ancestors had better genes, and they grew tall and mighty from behind. However, due to the lack of food, they were not very healthy. They were tall but thin.

For example, the black slaves in front of Qingji looked like bamboo poles, they were as hungry as skinny bones, as if they would fall down when the wind blows.

As slaves, blacks are still very suitable objects.

For thousands of years, countless empires have risen and fallen, but on the vast land of Africa, these natural black warriors have not established any powerful empire...

Being uncivilized is one thing, and geographical environment, malnutrition, and lazy personality are another.

In Qingji's plan, Kunlun slaves with the same skin color as the Chinese people, who were slightly dark, or white people from foreign countries, could still be assimilated by Wu.

But for black people, it may be hard to say.

To be on the safe side, Qing Ji absolutely cannot tolerate the fact that there are black people on the land of Wu who will reproduce.

Castrating them is the most straightforward way.
