When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Chapter 324 Shang Wanghe

After Zihe entered the city, he started disinfecting them immediately.

The plague-stricken people were gathered outside the city, the houses affected by the plague were burned, and then people were rebuilt to build the houses. The related matters were naturally handed over to Zi Xun, who was closest to the Immortal Shang.

Then Zihe began to eliminate the subordinates of his former uncle Shang Wanggeng, arranged for his own people to be in power, and then rectified the nobles.

But the nobles didn't like him much. As soon as the city opened and others came, the nobles immediately fled from Yanshang City and ran to the fiefdom near Wangji to gather troops and horses to prevent Zihe from jumping over the wall in a hurry.

Zihe could not stop them from leaving. After all, the areas around Wangji were indeed the territories of nobles. Their families held heavy troops in the area and could easily resist Zihe, who had insufficient troops.

The reason why Zihe was able to besiege the city for so long was because these nobles were too lazy to get involved in the power struggle between Shang King Geng and Zihe. If there hadn't been a plague in the city this time, they wouldn't have been able to follow suit.

It is for this reason that Zihe could not kill King Geng of Shang, so he could only excuse him as a "plague" and lock him up to recuperate.

Then Zihe became a little anxious.

"What?! Are you going to be king now?" Zixun had just finished dealing with half of the plague spots in the city when he was summoned by Zi He.

Seeing his eldest brother impatiently preparing to become king, Zixun frowned and said, "No, now is not the time!"

"Why isn't it the right time?" Zihe also stood up dissatisfied. At 27 years old, he looked like he was in his 30s, but the excitement on his face gave people the feeling that he was still a teenager.

"And! Now is indeed not the time! Look at the nobles outside. The plague broke out recently. We should use this time to ask each noble to seal off their territory, and then take the opportunity to control the nodes between the nobles to prevent them from directly conflicting.

Also, spring plowing is about to begin, and now is the time when the harvest is dry!
We just ask the nobles to farm, so that they will not go out to migrate, and force them to use the food they save to feed their slaves.

When everything is completely stable in the summer and I have harvested grain in Qifang, I can take advantage of this time to make some adjustments.

Otherwise, once the plague spreads and causes heavy losses to the slaves of this group of nobles, with the few people we have, how do you expect to control them and not plunder?

Civil war may break out at any time!Shu Geng (Wang Geng of Shang) just couldn't control the nobles' plundering, so he could only urge them to fight against Dongyi, which led to constant internal strife in the royal family.

Now if you don't seize the time to strengthen your foundation and focus on becoming the king, they won't support you. It's useless for you to be the king! "

Zixun was not polite and went to the north. The Xin family's power control methods had a great impact on him.

Now is an opportunity to form nodes between each family's territory and divide each family's territory. By then, Zixun and his lineage can completely design a road network like the Xin family's, and control the transportation lines of each family in their hands. There is tax on this road.

It is used to raise troops, and then control most of the material exchange direction, suppress unconquered ministers, and cultivate his trusted nobles.

Then complete the replacement.

Instead of claiming the title of king without any foundation now.

Didn't you see that most of the nobles didn't say hello as soon as they entered the door, and immediately turned around and ran back to their fiefdom after opening the door?
If I approve of you, I'll meet you face to face at least once, and then I'll get to know you, and then I'll leave.

Therefore, in Zixun's view, it is a lucky chance that he controls Am Shang City now.

You have come here in 99 steps, and then if you don’t think about taking one step, just stop here. Aren’t you afraid that it will collapse like quicksand?

But Zihe said in a deep voice: "I know, but so what? As long as I am crowned king, they have to listen to me!"

"and……"

"Okay, you go and do your business." Zihe waved his hand and interrupted Zixun, "Our four brothers control a large number of troops, and with the support of the Hebei princes, I hope they don't dare to rebel! When I moved west back to Heluo, they moved away from here, didn't they just let me slaughter them?!"

Zixun was driven away.

After walking out of the palace, I couldn't help but take another look at the city. Why did I sit in this position? Zihe seemed to be a different person.

……

At the end of March, Zihe became king and was known as Yangjia in history.

After becoming king, Zihe's sacrifices were completed and he issued an edict requiring merchants in Dayi to pay tribute both internally and externally.

Then start talking about merit and giving rewards.

Zixun asked Ziyu to present a reward for the Youxin clan, thinking that the Youxin clan should be given the position of earl to appease this guy.

Then this content was returned.

Shang Wanghe said: "The Xin family is nothing but paying tribute to the frontier, so how can they contribute to this battle?"

The meaning is very clear. The credit for defeating Amshang is mine, not yours or yours. Don’t get confused.

Zixun did not have a seizure.

He just watched his brother's "big change in temperament" indifferently.

After the banquet and back to his station, Ziyu drove halfway and suddenly said: "Don't take it to heart. Now that Zihe has just won, it is normal for him to be complacent."

"Is it normal? If I hadn't seen Xinqu, I would think it was normal." Zixun suddenly raised his head and pressed his fingers on the shaft of the car, "Xinqu is very similar to the four of us brothers, they all raise the flag in times of crisis. Shu Geng The merchants from Dayi have almost been killed. How many tributary countries are left in the four directions?
We are also forced to have no choice. If we don’t raise the flag, the public clan will become bigger. Do you expect us to win the public clan?
However, we are different from him.

Xin Qu is ruthless and decisive, but more importantly, he can exercise restraint.

Restraint is so rare!Xinqu knew what he should do, how to act, and how to seek the best interests.

But Zihe didn't know that. He only cared about his own glory and thought that becoming king would solve all problems.

But is the problem solved?Not all here!
Look at today's banquet. How many noble families are here?Didn't they just send a few random people to send us away?

The crisis is all around us!But what?Have you and he faced the crisis?
Let me tell you, not many people will come to pay tribute this time. Xinqu may send people to pay tribute, but I believe it is more to deal with one or two.Now, the Xin family has grown to 5 people. If Xin Qu is given some time to develop, I can't believe that he still only has 5 people. "

Zi Yu said nothing, listening to Zi Xun's complaints.

Zi Yu knew very well why Zixun was in such a hurry. It was because the public clan was getting bigger and the royal family was weakening, and all parties were gradually closing the gap in bronze technology. When a party's size reached a certain level, craftsmen's industries would begin to appear.

Once the craftsman industry began to appear, the craftsmen would find ways to improve weapons at the request of some monarchs who were interested in external expansion.

This is the situation that Dayi merchants are facing now.

The merchants in Dayi look like they are in bloom, but in fact they are already in flames.

Especially the Dongyi people next door, their bronze smelting technology is basically on par with the Dayi merchants, but the Dayi merchants don't think they can equal them. After all, this group of people now supports 10 people to death, and they are scattered all over the seashore and swamps, because they hide in In these places, repairs are difficult.

But it won't work without repair, because if they don't repair it, they will send troops to Huaibei and affect the bronze trade route of Dayi merchants.

Therefore, why the capital must be moved to Amian and the town is here is largely because the bronze mines in the Heluo-Zhongtiao Mountain area and the bronze mines in the Nanyang-Hanshui Basin were blocked by Qilongrong at the same time. No, the Shang clan can't get the resources here.

Qi Longrong was a remnant of the Xia Hou clan, and their leader called himself Queen Xia.

This is a war between the previous dynasty and this dynasty, and the fight between the two sides is not over yet!
Originally, in the recent period, he could take the opportunity to control Wang Ji to increase his strength, but Zihe ignored this opportunity because he was patronizing the king.

Even Zixun felt that he did it on purpose!
There is an inexplicable disconnect.

Originally, they had a very good relationship before and had supported each other for many years...

"Then how long do you think Zihe can last?" Ziyu suddenly said again.

Zixun was stunned and looked at Ziyu coldly: "What do you mean?"

"Lu's father recently studied the "Book of Conduct" given to him by Xin Qu. I also read it. Xin Qu said to Lu's father: When you are in a high position, you should think more about it. Benefit me? Benefit others? Benefit the world? Don't be rich for yourself, don't be less. People can be slaughtered if they are relaxed and relaxed.

When you are in a mean state, you should act more and talk less!Do more!Train yourself!Think twice before acting, only by strengthening your body can you live longer, and by being sincere and cautious can you win. "

Ziyu said: "I feel the same way as you about Xinqu, he is terrible. He has his own set of rules for life, and he began to use this set of rules to teach everyone in the Xin family.

The "Book of Conduct" that Lu's father got was the earnest teachings of his elder brother, and it was also a very powerful book.

It's hard to imagine that Xin Qu was already senile when he was less than [-] years old.

Father Lu has been by your side recently, and he will do whatever you tell him to do. But recently he was in Mengshan, repelling the Juyi invasion, killing thirty people, surrendering 50, and returning more than a hundred.

Then, Ju Yi used the 50 surrendered people as internal agents and sent [-] troops, but Lu's father killed [-] of them.

Father Lu completely copied Xin Qu's tactics, pretended to accept these people, and then asked them to spread the news. In the end, he deceived more than 300 people. After killing them all, their heads were piled on the border of Juyi.

Now, Ju Yi has calmed down.

Lu's father executed 50 of the 20 people, leaving 30 people and made them naturalized people, and let them go back to fetch their families.

This time, 25 households and more than [-] people came back.This group of people should be loyal and advance and retreat together with the Lu family. "

After Zi Yu finished speaking, Zixun thought deeply: "So, you want me to learn what Xin Qu did?"

"When you are in a high position, you should think about the way to rule and divide; when you are in a lowly position, you should think about the way to live." Ziyu drove the chariot forward quickly, "Xinqu is a very interesting person. If you can't find a way out, you can Copy his method.

Geniuses do exist in this world, and of course there are wise men.

Do you still remember the "Suggestion Box" that Xinqu implemented in his own territory?

He is also listening to public opinion. Why can't you listen to public opinion and see how to change your situation?
Since Zihe wants to ensure that his position is not coveted, you can't get away for a while. It is better to suggest that Zihe implement a suggestion box system to let the local nobles express their needs and then deal with them based on the divination results.

First think of a way to gather all the nobles and stop them from conflicting.

If there is really a conflict, it will be a matter of divination results, and the loss will be Zihe's majesty.

He struggled a few times. If he wakes up, everyone will be happy. If he can't wake up, you don't have to worry about how to choose. That is Zihe's business. You can just make money and strengthen yourself.

Just like Xin Qu, he carried out the so-called peace according to the various forces in Shannan, but in fact it was just his peace. The Xin family could defeat the Mo family. In addition to Xin Qu's ruthlessness, the Xin family also took advantage of Shannan. After withdrawing and losing the Changxin clan, they established a strength of more than ten thousand people. Only then did they dare to clamor to delay the Mo clan's move south.

Otherwise, before this, who would have dared to believe that a tribe of several thousand people would dare to clamor for delay against 5 people?

Their tribesmen would use flight and fear, and the immediate response to Xin Qu's actions was crazy.

Therefore, your own strength is the most important. The stronger the power of the royal family, the greater your confidence in speaking.

Now even you have to arrange a position of Fang Bo for the Youxin family to appease him, but Xinqu of the Youxin family has only told us that he wants the land in Shannan so far, and has not sent us any remaining information. .

This hardship shows an attitude that Shannan belongs to him whether we give it to him or not. If you are not convinced, you can send troops to get it.

But we are certainly unable to do so and can only give him the necessary status and matching identity.

It doesn't matter to him if you don't give it, he will first let himself thoroughly digest the various tribes of the Guzhu clan, and then look for opportunities to strengthen himself.

The Xin family will only get stronger and stronger.

So, talk less, do more, practice yourself.Only by strengthening your body can you live longer. It can even kill us if we endure it. This is the most terrifying thing. "

Zixun still said nothing, but nodded slightly.
