Starting from crossing the Fengshen

Chapter 345 Choosing a Concubine

Yin Qi smiled and said: "No need to doubt, we do have so much inventory."

Yin Qi's more than 500,000 weapon refiners were all placed in a canyon a hundred miles east of the city, protected by formations. Even Wen Zhong and the others had not entered.

Everyone in the world only knows that there is Yin Qishe's weapon refining base.

Ninety percent of the Yin and Shang dynasty's various magical instruments came from there.

Yin Qi has no public plans for the new weapon refining method yet, so he did not take Wen Zhong and the others there.

Wen Zhong took a deep look at Yin Qi, and then realized that he had still underestimated him.

The same is true for Shang Rong and Bigan.

No wonder Yin Qi had the confidence to say that he would abolish the feudal system and complete the centralization of power. He was indeed confident.

Wen Zhong said seriously: "The king has already thought about it carefully, and I should obey it."

"it is good!"

Yin Qi said: "After the year, I will give you the specific details of the reform, and your Military Aircraft Department can implement it seriously."

Wen Zhong nodded and expressed no opinion.

Shang Rong and Bigan did not speak, because they were generally not allowed to interrupt in the military.

Yin Qi looked at Shang Rong and said: "First Assistant, after the year I plan to establish a bank, which will be under the Ministry of Accounts, but will be directly responsible to me. The functions of the bank are: 1: absorbing people's savings and giving interest; 2: providing benefits to the society We provide low-interest loans to all walks of life to help them tide over difficulties; three: settle business settlements."

Banks were a new thing, there were no money banks in this era, so Shang Rong was confused about what Yin Qi said.

But he agrees with the second function, low-interest lending.

The loan sharks in this era are really loan sharks. Basically, if you get involved, your family will be ruined.

Shang Rong nodded and said, "Okay, Your Majesty."

Yin Qi finally said: "There is one more thing. I am planning to abolish slavery and the burial system. What do you think?"

After Emperor Yi was buried and Yin Qi was buried with pottery figurines, it was basically not difficult to abolish the sacrificial burial system.

But in order to abolish slavery, Yin Qi made three full years of preparations.

He encouraged the development of commerce in order to guide the nobles to shift their attention from land to commerce.

With a more profitable business, they will naturally not cling to the fields.

Farming is where the most slaves are needed.

And because of the promotion of Tai Chi rice, there will definitely be no famines in the future, so the grain business will naturally be difficult to do, and it may even be impossible to sell it.

If that's the case, what's the need for so many fields?

Shang Rong pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, I think it is feasible. Although there will be some resistance, with the national strength of our great merchant, we can easily quell these resistances."

Wen Zhong and Bigan both nodded, thinking that the time was ripe.

They themselves also own huge industries, and the output of the fields has long been ignored.

Yin Qi smiled and said: "Okay. Since the three of you agree, let's implement it next year."

…………

Kunlun.

Yuxu Palace.

Yuanshi Tianzun woke up from his mind wandering in Taixu. His mind moved slightly, and countless information poured into his mind.

"Ok?"

He frowned slightly and found that three years had passed, and the fortunes of the Yin and Shang countries were actually booming, and even the fortunes of the human race were rising steadily.

In today's Yin and Shang Dynasties, the national destiny has reached an unprecedented peak.

According to his calculations, if there are no accidents, the fate of the Yin and Shang Dynasties will last at least three thousand years.

Three thousand years, what a joke!

Compared with the long life of Yuanshi Tianzun, three thousand years can be said to be a blink of an eye, it's not that we can't wait.

However, he didn't want this frustration.

He, a great saint, has already plotted against a mortal, but it has no effect. Instead, the country's destiny is getting more and more prosperous. Isn't this a slap in his face?

Thinking of this, he snorted coldly, stretched his fingers towards the void, and captured Xiao Yanzhi.

Xiao Yanzhi quickly kowtowed: "Meet the saint!" Yuanshi Tianzun looked cold and said in a cold voice: "I asked you to charm the human emperor, why haven't you entered the palace yet?"

Xiao Yanzhi trembled all over and said quickly: "The sage has a clear lesson. That Emperor Qi never left the palace, did not choose women, and even rejected many beauties sent by the princes. This little maid really has no chance to enter the palace."

Yuanshi Tianzun also knew that Xiao Yanzhi was not lying, but he was also disappointed with her ability.

He said coldly: "Nie Zhan, you can't handle this matter. Emperor Qi has been on the throne for three years and still has no heirs. Don't you know how to confuse some ministers and ask them to submit a petition to Emperor Qi for a draft?"

Monasticism and Taoism are passed down through lineage, while the human world emphasizes bloodline inheritance.

Having no heirs is a big deal.

No matter how beautiful Emperor Qi is, he still has no access to the harem, and the officials will never agree.

Xiao Yanzhi's eyes lit up and he hurriedly knelt down and said, "The saint is wise."

"Okay, you can go back. I'll give you ten years, and you'll be deceitful and shameless."

Yuanshi Tianzun waved his hand and sent Xiao Yanzhi away.

…………

Time flew by, and soon it was the third year of Emperor Qi's reign.

At the Lantern Festival Meeting, Yin Qi announced measures such as reforming the military system, abolishing slavery and the burial system, and establishing a bank. There was basically no resistance.

Just when he was about to announce his resignation, Chen Xu, the Minister of Rites, stepped forward.

He bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"allow!"

Although he disliked Chen Xu very much, Yin Qi never touched Chen Xu in order to maintain his character and show his own strength.

And Chen Xu is indeed capable of running the Ministry of Etiquette in such an orderly manner that he cannot find faults.

Chen Xu said loudly: "The king has been married for eight years and has three concubines in the harem, but so far nothing has come out. For the sake of the country and the country, I sincerely ask the king to choose concubines to enrich the harem."

Yin Qi was also startled.

As an immortal, he has a long life and is not in a hurry to have an heir, so he doesn't care too much about whether he has any heirs and just lets nature take its course.

However, the higher the life level, the harder it is to have children.

He is a fairy, and if he wants to have children, he really doesn’t know when he will have one, so casting a wide net is a strategy.

"Your Majesty, I second the proposal."

"Please also ask the king to choose a concubine, enrich the harem, and secure the foundation of the country!"

"Your Majesty, what the Minister of Rites says makes sense!"

……

The ministers all agreed.

Even Wen Zhong, Shang Rong and Bigan all gave advice.

You must know that Yin Shou got married later than Yin Qi. Now his eldest son is three years old and his younger son is also born.

The ministers begged, but Yin Qi could only agree "reluctantly", nodded and said: "In that case, let the matter be left to the Ministry of Rites. The number of concubines selected should not exceed the limit in the Book of Rites."

"The Book of Rites" stipulates that the Queen's Palace has one queen, four concubines, nine concubines, twelve concubines, fifteen beauties and talented people, twenty-four Baolin, and twenty-four imperial concubines. Thirty-seven women were recruited.

There are also female imperial guards without rank, a total of one hundred and twenty people.

As for the three thousand beauties in the harem, it is impossible for ordinary emperors to do this.

Who can bear it?

Chen Xu said happily: "Yes, Your Majesty."

After three years, he had already changed his view of Yin Qi, and he only had loyalty in his heart.

In fact, it’s okay to be disloyal.

With Yin Qi's current prestige, Yin Shou can't make any waves at all. He is still concentrating on practicing in the mansion and basically no longer interacts with officials in the DPRK.
