A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 419 System Rules Nobles and Disgraced Officials

Wang Jing wanted to let the nobles and nobles go to the northern grasslands, but none of them was willing.

Most of these nobles had participated in the war in the North and knew the situation in the northern grasslands. No one was willing to let go of the wealth of the Central Plains and go to the north to herd sheep and suffer the cold.

In order to allow those nobles to go to the grassland, Wang Jing enfeoffed the prairie princely states, and even nobles who were willing to go to the grassland could be promoted to two levels of title, and the title would not be reduced for three generations.

However, those nobles were not moved at all. They would rather hold a title in the Central Plains with no more than a few hundred households in the city, rather than go to the grassland to become a prince.

Seeing this situation, Wang Jing was furious and prepared to forcibly move some nobles to the grassland.Just when he was about to do this, his younger brother Wang Hao stopped him.

"Master, these nobles have done no wrong and are unwilling to migrate. Now that you ask them to migrate to the northern grasslands, it is indeed too much."

"How can you be so greedy for enjoyment while serving your country?" Wang Jing said dissatisfied.

Wang Hao smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, you can't expect these nobles to be treated like members of the family."

Since Zijue, the Wang family's family tradition has been different from other families in the world, whether it is politics or issues towards the people of Xia.

The Wang family would open up the Western Regions and open up the northern grasslands for the prosperity of the Xia Dynasty, but not many others were willing to do so. Therefore, the royal family has been promoting these people and giving rewards to these people.

Rewards should be made from both honor and material aspects. If only material rewards are given, it will only cultivate a group of profit-seeking people. If only honor is given, honor will eventually turn into a joke.So honors and material rewards are necessary.

"Moreover, you are now forcing these nobles to go to the Northland Grassland. Even if those nobles finally take advantage of your power and agree to go, they will still have resentment in their hearts.

When the time comes, these nobles and nobles will be in the north, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away. As long as they have a slight second intention, or even if they do not perform their duties seriously, your plan will not achieve the desired effect. "

After hearing this, most of the anger in Wang Jing's heart disappeared.Yes, he cannot force others to have the same moral standards as his family.

In the Huai Kingdom, among the worlds described by various schools of thought, the world described by Confucianism was the favorite of the Wang family, but why did they not choose Confucianism but Legalism?

Almost everyone thinks that Wang chose Legalism because his ancestor Zijue was the founder of Legalism, but in fact this is only one of the factors, and not the main factor.

They do not choose Confucianism because they know that the moral bottom line required by Confucianism is too high.It's so high that even after 1000 years, they can't see any hope.

Compared with the high moral requirements of Confucianism, the moral requirements of Legalism are much lower. Coupled with the cooperation of laws, it is easier to achieve than the world described by Confucianism.

Coupled with the blessing of law, although the world described by Legalism is far inferior to Confucianism, it is the easiest to realize. At the same time, the world described by Legalism is also reasonable and fair in comparison.

This is the reason why the Wang family chose Legalism.

After all, compared to Legalism, whether it is Confucianism, Taoism or other schools of thought, Legalism is the easiest to implement, and at the same time it is relatively fair.

"Those nobles are unwilling to go to the northern grasslands and entrust the grasslands. What should we do now? Does Brother Hao have any ideas?" Wang Jing asked.

"Head of the family, the best way is to send the family's children to the Northland grassland, ennoble the family's children, and let them guard the Northland grassland on behalf of the princes for generations."

"However, the number of direct descendants of the family is limited, and the Northland grassland is vast. At least twenty direct descendants are needed to enfeoff. And if the direct descendants of the family are enfeoffed, it will be necessary to send corresponding Yulin guards and support with various resources, which is extremely expensive."

There are now more than a thousand direct descendants of the Wang family within five generations, one-third of whom are women and one-quarter of whom are children. There are about 200 of them who can truly become adults.

These people all have their own affairs now. Sending 20 people to the Northland grassland at once is also very stressful for the Wang family.

At that time, the Wang family also wanted to vigorously develop direct descendants and increase the number of direct descendants through continuous reproduction. However, after the ancestors worked hard to increase the number of direct descendants, the family soon discovered that something was wrong.

Everyone in the direct line of the Wang family had a premonition that if they continued to have children, the family heritage would be reduced.In fact, this is Zijue reminding his descendants.

Because each descendant will receive the effect of ancestor blessing when he is born, Zijue needs to pay more luck points for each additional descendant.

If the number of direct descendants continues to increase, the required luck value will also continue to increase. Now the number of direct descendants of the Wang family requires two thousand luck points for blessing. If the number of direct descendants of the Wang family increases, five thousand luck points will be consumed every year.

Obviously, this is a limitation placed on him by the system.Otherwise, Zijue could have allowed the family to continue to multiply and expand. In a few years, the number of direct descendants would reach an extremely astonishing number.At that time, Zijue can completely rely on the number of heirs to pass the level.Naturally, the system will not leave such loopholes, so the larger the population, the higher the luck that needs to be maintained, which means you can find a balance point by yourself.

Now Daqian was founded by the Wang family, so every year Zijue would receive a fortune value. Through the development of his descendants over the years, this fortune value has now increased to about [-].

When Da Qian rules the world, Zijue will receive [-] Lucks every year. When developing a territory, he will be given Luck Values ​​ranging from [-] to [-] according to the size of the territory, population, economy, belongingness, etc., and build a historical and cultural city. As long as the city exists , and can be obtained from one hundred to three hundred in the hands of Da Gan.There will also be compiled classics such as "One Hundred Schools of Thoughts".

In addition to these increases, there is also consumption of luck every year. Now deducting these decreases in luck, Zijue can now get about fifteen thousand luck every year.

It seems like a lot, but using a divine weapon of destiny consumes at least one thousand luck.The more advanced ones are three to five thousand.In addition, Zijue still has to prepare for the future, so he must leave enough luck.

Even if the Wang family's children will not have a large number of children, in a few decades, the population will exceed a thousand people, and the consumption of luck will be [-]. Of course, the upper limit of legitimate children will also be increased to [-].

Wang Jing thought about it for a while but still didn't agree with Wang Hao's idea of ​​enfeoffing his direct descendants to the grasslands of the North.So he asked: "Besides this method, is there any other way?"

"Yes!" Wang Hao continued: "If we don't need the clan members to leave the grassland, we can only rely on official posts."

Wang Jing frowned slightly: "If I send Liu Guan out of the town grassland, I'm afraid I won't be able to achieve the results I want."

"Every three years, there is a school examination. Some of these people can be selected to serve as officials in the Mobei grassland and as county officials. If they govern well, they will have the right to be promoted first. If they do not perform well, they will be promoted. Demoted."

"You can tell those scholars directly and let them make their own choices. At the same time, in order to prevent some people from wanting to return to the Central Plains and intentionally doing wrong things and being demoted, all demoted officials will not be promoted for five years. After five years, they will be promoted according to the merits of their work. If it still doesn’t work, I will be fired directly, never hired, or put in jail!”

"If you do well, you can be promoted to an extra level, and you will also get priority for promotion in the future." Wang Hao briefly described his method.

Wang Jing nodded slowly, indicating that he could accept it.

Although this method still has imperfections, it is acceptable.

The rights of stationed officials will also be reduced accordingly, and then the number of officials will be increased.If two more direct descendants of the clan are sent to the grassland to serve as official supervision, most of the problems will be solved by then.

While Wang Jing was discussing with the clan, Marquis Xu Zhan of Wucheng came to ask for an audience.Xu Zhan, Marquis of Wucheng, was the descendant of Marquis Wucheng, the founder of Daqian.

The Xu family has always been the closest to the Wang family in the royal family. When they were granted the title of Wuchenghou, the family's descendants have always kept a low profile. Now Xu Zhan is the fourth generation of Wuchenghou.

Although the Xu family of Wuchenghou has kept a low profile over the years, they have always been a decisive force in the court.

Xu Zhan entered the main hall, bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, when the First Emperor, he once praised his ancestors as the pillars of the country. He followed His Majesty the First Emperor to sweep across the world and dominate the world. I am vulgar and dare not compare with my ancestors, but I know that the king The ministers should complete the heavy burden given.

The trust given by the king cannot be betrayed by the ministers.

Although I do not have the abilities of my ancestors, I am still willing to contribute to Your Majesty and do my best to serve Your Majesty. Only in this way can I repay Your Majesty's grace.

Your Majesty needs someone to guard the grassland in the north. Although I am not talented, I am willing to go out to Shuofang to guard the grassland. If there is chaos in the grassland, I will step over my corpse first!
I am willing to die in retribution! "

Xu Zhan said loudly.

Hearing these words, Wang Jing was quite moved and said: "Wu Chenghou is such a loyal minister! Ministers like you are the pillars and pillars of my great work. If everyone is like you, this world will be prosperous." How can there be so many things?"

Then Wang Jing thought of other nobles and couldn't help but said: "Look at those nobles. They are all afraid to go to Mobei and are greedy for the wealth of the Central Plains. Are these people worthy of the ancestors who overcame all the difficulties and established the Daqian?"

"It's an act of honor!"

Wang Jing was angry from the bottom of his heart, and he even gritted his teeth when he spoke. The few people below looked at their noses, noses, and hearts without making any reaction. They could only listen to this kind of thing but not say it. If they said it, the world would be ruined. All the nobles and nobles were offended.

After losing his temper for a while, Wang Jing immediately said: "Since Marquis Wu Cheng is willing to share my worries, he should first serve as the Protector of Zhenbei!"
