A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 585: The End of the Great Work, a New Beginning

Liu Yu agreed to the alliance, and then both parties swore an oath on the bank of Luoshui. After the oath, Wang began to hand over all Luoyang's military and political affairs and civil affairs to Liu Yu.

At the same time, Luoyang Academy and other departments were also handed over to Liu Yu.

After a brief inventory of Luoyang, Liu Yu discovered that Luoyang was actually so wealthy.

This place is only the size of a county, but the annual taxes, money and food are actually comparable to that of a state. Moreover, after acquiring Luoyang, there was Luoyang Academy, a craftsman supervisor, and a large number of books.

With these things, Liu Yu can cultivate talents on his own, and also obtains a large number of craftsmen, and the production of various instruments has directly reached a higher level.

As for the Yulin Guards in Qianshi, they also began to leave Luoyang. Some of them went to Huai'an to serve as the guards of the Marquis of Huai'an, and some of them went to Liuqiu Island. These were all agreed upon in the covenant.

Liu Yu did not breach the contract, and neither did the Qianshi. At the same time, the land of Luoyang was also preserved.

Without the obstruction of the cadres, Liu Yu led his army directly into Guanzhong, wiped out Guanzhong and Longxi in one fell swoop, and then moved south to Bashu. It only took two years to complete the unification of the country.

Because he was worried that the land of Luoyang would be attached to the former dynasty, Liu Yu did not establish his capital in Luoyang and proclaimed himself emperor, but instead established his capital in Guanzhong and proclaimed himself emperor.

After the Qian royal family swore an alliance with Liu Yu, they sent a message to the Western Regions. The Wang family was the strongest in the Western Regions, so the Lord of Tianci City came forward and submitted a letter to Liu Yu saying that he would surrender.

So Liu Yu still adopted the Western Region Protectorate during the Qian Kingdom, but Liu Yu re-confessed the vassal states that were previously enfeoffed by the Qian Kingdom, split them up, and weakened these vassal states.

But these are not worth mentioning. As long as the Central Plains court stabilizes, it will soon recover.

In fact, the Western Region has a vast land, a much smaller population than the Central Plains, and an extremely complex ethnic composition. In addition, there are a large number of deserts and vast seas, and the distance is far away. According to the Central Plains model, it is impossible to implement it.

However, although Liu Song was established, its territory was still smaller than that of Daqian. The Western Region had not yet been included in the territory, Liaodong had not yet become a vassal, and there was some chaos in the south.

At the same time, due to the long-term wars in Guanzhong, many people died, and it was already somewhat damaged. Liu Yu transferred the population from Luoyang, Central Plains, and Hebei to supplement Guanzhong. At the same time, he dispersed the population of Luoyang to Longxi, Hebei, and Qingxu Prefecture.

The population has been reduced by more than half, and the contradiction between man and land has disappeared. In addition, this group of people are all outstanding people who founded the industry. After Liu Song stabilized, it immediately glowed with vitality.

After all, the simplest official document delivery would take half a year to go back and forth. If it were based on the Central Plains system, it would be impossible to govern here.

Liu Yu only thought for a moment before agreeing, so he sent people to rebuild the Western Region Protectorate and took control of the Western Region with the cooperation of the Wang family.

Liu Yu proclaimed himself emperor in Guanzhong and founded the Song Dynasty, with the reign name Yongchu.

The new Song Empire rose rapidly like the rising sun. After more than ten years of turmoil in Daqian, the people suffered heavy casualties, and the world's population increased from 130 million at the peak of Daqian to about 60 million.

The people of Luoyang were dispersed and the population of Guanzhong was enriched.

Liu Yu sent people to the Western Regions. Originally, he also wanted the Western Regions to follow the model of the Central Plains. However, after truly understanding the Western Regions, Liu Yu personally vetoed this decision.

In fact, the Wang family did not value these vassals. What they valued was Tianci City.

Tianci City is the foundation of the Wang family in the Western Region.

As for overseas places, Wang Jing didn't mention it at the time, and Liu Yu didn't ask, so both sides ignored overseas. Although the Wang family has always encouraged overseas expansion in Daqian, until now, only the royal family has vigorously expanded overseas. After all, the navigation technology of this era was very poor. Once encountered in a storm, it was basically a matter of death.

Those powerful people who went overseas to open silver mines at that time never thought of establishing a foothold overseas. They just arrested people, worked hard to mine, and then transported the silver back. I don't care about overseas lands at all.

The same is true for Liu Yu.

In addition, the royal family monopolized and relocated craftsmen who could build ocean-going ships, and the newly born Song Empire was unable to develop the ocean.

After the collapse of the Great Qian Dynasty, Wang Jing finally became the last Emperor Qian Dynasty. Naturally, he would not be praised in history books, but because of his actions, he would not be disparaged. He is probably a posthumous title.

When Da Qian was at its peak, the Wang family controlled the world and received more than 17,000 to 19,000 good fortunes every year.

Then with the decline of Daqian, the luck obtained also dropped. By the time of Wang Jing, only three or four thousand luck could be obtained every year.

When Daqian collapsed, luck plummeted again, with only one thousand and five left.

Of course, 500 of the 1,500 fortunes are from Liu Yufeng's Marquis of Huai'an, and the remaining 1,000 fortunes are half provided by Ryukyu Fuso and half from the Western Regions.

Zijue's luck protection for the Wang clan every year is one thousand points of luck. Of course, the value fluctuates slightly. The protective jade pendant for his direct descendants costs 500 points of luck each. But this protective jade pendant can be recycled.

If the protective jade pendant has never been used in a lifetime, it will not be consumed, and its protective jade pendant can be directly transferred to a new jade pendant.

Coupled with some other expenses, the Wang family's fortune can be considered to be balanced. If they save some, there will still be a little surplus.

Although it is far less than the period of the Great Qian Dynasty, during the Great Qian Dynasty, the harvest of luck was much greater, and there was also more to be consumed. Star observatories in prefectures and counties all over the world were built every year, which amounted to 3,600 points of luck in one year.

Now that the Wang family no longer needs this luck, the new Song Empire can only rely on itself.

As for the Wang family taking away the Jiuding of King Huai and the Jiuding of King Yu, not many people know about it. In fact, the Wang family also left a set of imitation King Yu Jiuding in Luoyang. Of course, the Jiuding King Huai is gone.

As for whether Liu Yu knew that King Yu's Jiuding was an imitation, no one else in the world could tell the difference except the Wang family.

After all, this Jiuding has always been in the Ancestral Temple, and only the Wang family has seen it. In the past, the Zhou royal family had seen Jiuding, even the bones and dregs were gone.

Whether this Jiuding is King Yu's Jiuding or not is naturally decided by the Wang family.

In addition to the Nine Tripods of King Yu, the Jade Seal of the Chuan Guo is also in the hands of Liu Yu. With the Jade Seal of the Chuan Guo, the presence of the Jiuding of King Yu is of little significance. After all, it was placed in the Ancestral Temple. Except for the emperor and a few people, no one else could see it.

In the cave world, as Daqian's luck beam collapsed, the First Emperor, Wang Luo, felt a little disappointed. Zijue didn't care, and said calmly: "The destiny of Daqian is over, and there will be a time for recovery in the future!"

"The descendants have worked hard for four hundred years, and have accumulated three hundred years of dynasty destiny. If they are willing, when the Liu Song destiny ends, they can let the descendants build it again."

"Old Ancestor, three hundred years is still a little too little. Let's accumulate some more. It's best to wait a thousand years before we start."

"Greedy!" Zijue smiled, shook his head slightly, and then fell asleep.
