Wei Wuhou

Chapter 734

The sun and the moon rotate, time flies, and two years have passed in a blink of an eye. After the first year, the second year, and the third year of Weihou, the time has come to the fourth year of Weihou.

In the past two years, the situation in the world is still turbulent.

In the south, the confrontation between Chu and Wu has reached its peak, and the two countries have indirectly used their national power to attack each other.

When two big countries fight, it is the surrounding small countries that will suffer, and those third-rate small countries will be destroyed even more...

In the west, after the defeat of the Xiongnu by the Wei State, the Qiang people in the northwest of the Qin State grew stronger, which caused a huge military deterrent to the Qin State, forcing it to devote all its energy to deal with it, and reduced its attack on the Wei State.

In the past three years, after marrying the princess of the Zhou family, Wei Guo himself acted like a loyal minister of the Zhou family, and even participated in every pilgrimage to the emperor.

Not only that, even the rebellion of Tang Guo and Xiao Guo, Wei Guo was not as furious as other countries imagined, but acquiesced to the establishment of this matter.

Wei Guo, which is in harmony with its neighbors, is naturally very strange, but it is also liked by everyone. Who doesn't want to live a peaceful life?
But peace is obtained by strength after all. The tranquility you think may be the gap between the butcher sharpening his knife!And this is often the reality.

In the past three years, the Wei State has made every effort to develop production, making up for the shortfalls left by the previous wars one by one, and the Wei State's national strength has reached an unprecedented peak.

Also in the past three years, Wei Wuji also made major personnel adjustments in the army. Among the more than 40 generals in Wei State, eleven were born in his direct line, and nearly half of the remaining thirty or so were born in poor families.

Not only that, Wei Wuji's iron weapon, which is Wei Wuji's great killer, has also been vigorously promoted by him in the past three years. Until now, the armored cavalry has been expanded to [-], and the [-] Wei soldiers have all changed their outfits, and their combat power has grown wildly.

After the Huns were defeated, Wei Wuji also ordered the Lingbei Camp to continue to attack them, and captured countless excellent war horses, which provided a major boost to the Wei cavalry.

Even Wei Wuji, who was an infantry soldier, in order to increase his mobility, Wei Wuji equipped each soldier with horses so that they could quickly reach the combat area.

Also within these three years, Wei Wuji had three more sons and two daughters, which is also a good sign for the longevity of the country!
The power of the country is gathering, and Vientiane is renewing. People of insight in the Wei state know at this time that the time to make a big difference is coming!

On the first day of February in the fourth year of Marquis Wei, the Great Court Meeting was held in Chengqian Palace!

In the solemn hall, the courtiers and officials gathered together, each of them lowered their heads, waiting for the arrival of the monarch with an almost pious expression.

Three years later, through a series of promotions, rewards and punishments, Wei Wuji has tamed all of them, regardless of whether they are from aristocratic or poor families, and they naturally respect the monarch.

"The monarch is here..."

Following the servant's stern shout, all the officials in the hall bowed down to the ground, and the mountain shouted: "I wait to pay my respects to your majesty!"

Wei Wuji, who was dressed in a crown suit, slowly rose to his seat surrounded by the servants and guards!
Stepping on the top of Danbi, Wei Wuji's steps are more powerful than before, and his whole person is more glorious and restrained, not angry and majestic!
After taking his seat, Wei Wuji glanced at the group of officials below, only to see a surrendered head!

Even though his emotions and anger are now invisible, seeing this situation, Wei Wuji's face has a smear of self-satisfaction.

Now his status in the military and government has surpassed his father who has been in power for more than ten years, and the status of the monarch is as stable as Mount Tai.

Cleaning up his face, Wei Wuji said in a deep voice, "Excuse me, gentlemen!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Amid the shouts from the mountain, all the ministers slowly stood up, but each of them still lowered their heads, showing a respectful expression.

This made Wei Wuji very satisfied, and then he listened to him: "Do you have something to do?"

The affairs of the Great Court Conference are all arranged in advance, Wei Wuji naturally knows that the courtiers have nothing to do, so the Great Court Conference is often just a meeting between the monarch and his ministers.

After waiting for a while for no one to answer, he heard Wei Wuji say: "Since you have nothing to say, I'm here to announce something today!"

When the monarch wants to announce something, everyone listens honestly, and even if there is any objection, they have to let the prime minister make suggestions after the court.

Afterwards, Wei Wuji said, "Yu Zhong, let's announce the edict!"

To be honest, when they heard the word Xuanzhao, most of the ministers in the palace were tense.

This made them recall that Zhaohou was at the great court meeting in 18 years, and the monarch issued an edict like this at the beginning, killing the heads of the Wu'an family.

After the servant Yu Zhong got the order, he took a step forward on Majesty Dan, and then held out the imperial edict, and said sharply: "The imperial edict..."

"A few people have heard that since ancient times, a family has been established with the land and the country has been served by the family... The prosperity of the country will benefit the family. It can be seen that the land is the most important thing for the family and the country..."

At the beginning of the edict, it talked about the importance of land to the family and the country...but it focused more on the importance to a family.

"Family inheritance, without land, is like water without a source, like a tree without soil... Families are separated, and the country is difficult to stabilize..."

After explaining for a long time, the courtiers were puzzled, and only heard Yu Zhong continue to read: "In order to avoid this disaster, an edict is issued today, and those who rank as Shaoqing or above, regardless of civil or military, will be based on their merits... ...everything can be given!"

As soon as this voice fell, the group of officials really exploded, and those with the rank of Shaoqing and above can all be given land!
You must know that among the ten ranks of titles in the Wei Kingdom, only the highest-ranking lord has a fief. Even if he is ranked as a high-ranking minister, he can only be granted the land with the extra grace of the monarch.

And if the edict is issued like this now, proclaiming that the world can bestow land regardless of whether it is civil or military, it will give everyone an incentive and solve the problem of family inheritance after winning the title.

Even if the descendants do not make great contributions, relying on the land left by the ancestors is enough to live a rich life.

Therefore, no matter all the officials present, they are now as if they have been beaten with chicken blood, even if they are members of the aristocratic family.

The benefits given by the monarch are too great, no one can resist the temptation of the land, as the imperial edict said, only the land can establish a family, and the family can last forever!

Wei Wuji was very satisfied with the reaction of the courtiers below. This can be regarded as a disguised form of military merit and noble system, but the previous vested interest groups are also included in it.

Now is the time to make great strides forward, Wei Wuji must integrate various domestic forces, and gather these forces in one place to accomplish great things.

The power of unification lies in the unification of thinking, and the best way to unify thinking is to give huge benefits, so that everyone can catch up with the interests ahead.

What Wei Wuji needed to pay was nothing more than an imperial edict, he didn't say where to give the land.

Moreover, the land he gave out still needs to be taxed, not to say that you can develop it yourself.

Of course, Wei Wuji doesn't plan to add these rules and regulations for the time being, otherwise it will dampen everyone's enthusiasm.

After the imperial edict was read out, Wei Wuji said slowly, "Masters, the country is upright and troubled, and it's time to make meritorious deeds..."

"From now on, regardless of titles and lands, all can be obtained by merit, and I will keep my word... I will never go back on my word!"

"Generals can lead their troops to kill the enemy, officials can promote production, and manage agriculture and mulberry... Anyone who benefits the country will be rewarded without hesitation!"

It has to be said that Wei Wuji's words were very encouraging, and all the ministers were full of enthusiasm, and all of them were high-spirited.

Of course, this is also due to Wei Wuji's training over the past three years. Those who are out of date are either demoted or dismissed.

Those who stand in the hall today are those who can and want to do things.

At this time, all the ministers bowed and said: "The ministers should be loyal to the affairs of the state and share the worries of the king..."

After three years of silence, the majestic tiger of Wei State will finally show its fangs again!
