Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 1121
Chapter 1133

Kong Fu was completely dumbfounded at this time, he who was always calm, was completely confused, smart as him, now, he has realized that he was cheated by Wang Jian.Does he dare to blatantly oppose Ran Ming, the gentleman father?This is the code of ethics of Confucianism. If you oppose Ran Ming, don't you just slap your own mouth?Moreover, this time is not the era when Confucianism was the only one.At this time, the Legalists and Mohists, who have already left the mountains, still wish that Confucianism would confront the emperor?

At this time, Confucianism is not the only choice for Ran Ming to rule the country. Law, Mohism, Yangyang, and Zongheng are all waiting to see it as a joke. If the emperor is really evil and let Ran Ming learn from Qin Shihuang and ban Confucianism, then Kong Fu is a sinner of Confucianism through the ages.

Kong Fu and a group of Confucian ministers were sweating profusely, and many people even asked the women in Wang Jian's family directly in their hearts, "Can you be more tricky?"

Who made Ran Ming's appetite for territory never stop?Occupying the Western Regions created by the Han Dynasty was not satisfied, and continued the Western Expedition, and got Anxi, which was defeated by the Tang Dynasty more than 300 years in advance.As for the Indochina Peninsula, this place has not been completely conquered by Chinese dynasties. However, Emperor Jiaqing of the Manchu Dynasty allowed Vietnam to split out under the bewitching of the French. Of course, the Manchu Qing did more than this.

However, Wang Jian's words gave Ran Ming a reminder that all dynasties in China have formulated national policies according to the nine service system.For the barbarians, it is a role that can be used. For example, the Qiang, Yue, Li, and Liao in the Han Dynasty belong to this category.Barbarians are hostile to the country, and there is no possibility of communication.The Xiongnu are in this category, and they can fight hard when they seize the opportunity, and they can be killed directly.Town, this is actually hard to say, what Wei Guo exercised in the indigenous tribes of Nanyang is actually the town (ie suppression) of the Zhou Dynasty. The distance is far enough that you can play with mud in your home.If you dare to be presumptuous, I will send troops to beat you.Feudal states, in fact, the feudal states of the Zhou Dynasty were very fucked up, and the feudal states of later generations were even more fucked up.The state of Wei has been changed.

Ran Ming didn't formally propose Wei's nine-serve system, but he was already sketching the outline in his heart.The Wang Ji of the Wei State is not centered on thousands of miles, but is based on the 23 states of the Jin Dynasty, including Jiaozhou, Youzhou, and Liangzhou.Waiting for service is like Tingzhou, Chuzhou, Xinzhou, Pingzhou, Yingzhou, Yizhou, Jinzhou and the three south-central states.Such areas were newly annexed in the Wei Dynasty. In order to maintain the rule, the original native tribes will be given certain powers, and the important officials of the Wei State will be included in the feudal lands.

As for other barbarians, barbarians, towns, and vassals, Ran Ming didn't think about it, because it was unnecessary, because the relationship between countries was not static, like Ming Taizu, he listed Japan as a country that would not be conquered, and Japanese pirates ran rampant around the south of the Yangtze River.This is actually wrong. It depends on the performance of these countries and tribes that Wei Guo should adopt the same treatment as barbarians, barbarians, towns, and vassals.

Ran Ming's idea of ​​governing the country is to be a sage inside and a king outside, with Confucianism in one hand and Sun Wu in the other hand, with a smile on the face of the Shang Jun, and his feet stepping on white steps.

Pengcheng, the seat of Xuzhou, has been the key to the North, the gateway to the South, a battleground for military strategists, and a gathering center for merchants since ancient times. It has always been the political, economic, and cultural center of the Huaihai region.In history, Pengcheng was famous all over the world because the Chu tyrants established their capital here.

At this time, the Kingdom of Wei became an important commercial city because Ran Ming granted the title of King Pengcheng, and because Pengcheng was close to the hub of the north-south canal of Wei State.When the American delegation arrived in Pengcheng, it was already night in Pengcheng.

In the era without electric lights, as long as it was night, most of the cities were plunged into darkness.But because this is a commercial center, there is no sleep at all.

When Hirst saw the brightly lit city for the first time, he felt extremely shocked.Although Qu County is prosperous, it is just a newly emerging county. Compared with the thousand-year-old capital, Pengcheng, it seems to have no foundation.Pengcheng was originally the frontier of the North-South confrontation in history, so the city wall was built very tall and strong, and various city defense facilities were complete.

Hearst suddenly knelt on the streets of Pengcheng and said in stammering Chinese: "I have finally come to the kingdom of heaven and saw the prosperity of the kingdom of heaven."

The Wei official who accompanied him laughed and said: "Pengcheng is a fart compared to Yecheng for a country bumpkin who has never seen the world!"

After passing Pengcheng, you will enter the North China Plain, which is the Huanghuaihai Plain, which is the largest plain in eastern China and the most important grain-producing area.The North China Plain has a flat terrain, numerous rivers and lakes, convenient transportation, and a developed economy. It has been the political, economic, and cultural center of China since ancient times. The population and cultivated land area of ​​the plain account for about one-fifth of China.

Of course, during the Zhou Dynasty, the eastern part of the North China Plain was already under the rule of Dongyi and Huaiyi.Dozens of tribes, large and small, lived on the North China Plain, and they have merged into the Huaxia nation.The American delegation left Pengcheng along the Tongji Canal.Enter Liang County.

Later generations have always believed that it was Yang Guang in the Sui Dynasty who directly built the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. In fact, this view is also wrong.The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is a project of successive dynasties. It was built in various dynasties, and it was not truly connected until the Yang Guang period.An important part of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is the Tongji Canal, and the predecessor of the Tongji Canal is the Bian River, and the predecessor of the Bian River is the famous gap in history.The chasm was successfully excavated during the Warring States Period, and it was a large-scale water conservancy project in the Central Plains at that time.This ancient canal, which is more than 1000 kilometers long, had actually been flowing for more than [-] years during the Yang Guang period.Standing on the wheel boat of the Tongji Canal, looking at the endless wheat fields on both sides, the American delegation was too shocked to speak.

To say that American species resources are indeed very rich, whether it is sweet potato, jicama, potato, cassava, pumpkin, peanut, sunflower, pepper, tomato, kidney bean, lima bean, Western apple, pineapple, custard apple, guava, Nearly [-] kinds of plants such as avocado, cashew nut, cocoa, American ginseng, papaya, upland cotton, and tobacco were spread to China.It can be said that this is a gift of nature to America.However, as an American who owns countless high-yield crops, because there is no mature planting method, the yield is low and there are even countless famines. This is not to say that it is a great irony.However, in the time travel novels at the end of the Ming Dynasty, potatoes and corn were used as panacea, which could solve the famine problem in the Ming Dynasty.In fact, this is also an ideal idea.

Since Columbus discovered America in 1492, Europeans have been paying attention to this so-called "New World".After the successful colonization of the Americas, American crops were first transplanted to Europe, and then to China.However, at the beginning, the yields of potatoes and corn were not high. When the potatoes of later generations reached tens of thousands of catties per mu, this was the result of hard work of more than ten generations of cultivation.It took nearly 300 years from the time when these American crops were introduced to China and became the mainstream agricultural products in China.

The planting technology of the Americans is even more backward, almost the same planting method as the Nanyang natives. Anyway, the growth cycle of potatoes and corn is very short, coupled with the humid climate and warm weather in Central America, they can still complete self-sufficiency most of the time. of.When the food of the Americans is not enough to eat, the Americans will reduce the population in their own way.The most important method is the very barbaric and bloody "blood sacrifice". When a blood sacrifice is rare, thousands of people will be killed, and sometimes tens of thousands of people will be killed. In this way, for thousands of years, the population of America has always been controlled. In a very dangerous situation, the result was that the Americans slowly disappeared from the peoples of the world.

In fact, China has experienced this kind of massacre by Western colonists several times. Whether it is the rise of the Mongol Empire (according to statistics, nearly 2000 million people were massacred), this massacre is unprecedented and has been recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records Record.It is estimated that more than 700 million people died directly in the massacre in China.Together with Central Asia, West Asia and Eastern Europe, a total of about 4000 million people died.If the population of the Han people was still [-] to [-] million at that time, it is estimated that the Han people were also exterminated at that time.However, at that time the population of the Han people had exceeded hundreds of millions, more than half of them had been killed, and the race had not yet been wiped out.As for the entry of the Qing Dynasty, the massacre was even more heinous, but because of the huge population base of the Han people, it was impossible for them to be wiped out directly like other small tribes and nationalities.

The May wheat has begun heading and pollinating, and there is an alluring sweetness in the air.Wei Guo's agriculture already has quite advanced technology, first of all in the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests.It turns out that China has always lacked control methods for fungi and aphids in history, and can only rely on the sky to harvest.However, when Ran Ming focused on supporting the development of agricultural science and technology, the Taoist alchemists of Wei State prepared more than [-] kinds of chemical pesticides. Such pesticides can alleviate the damage of wheat by diseases and insect pests to a certain extent, and can also reduce the reduction of wheat production.This is the third high-incidence period of wheat take-all. Take-all is a devastating disease on wheat, causing clusters or large areas of plants to die, reducing the number of effective ears, number of grains per ear and thousand-grain weight, resulting in serious yield loss.The light ones will reduce production by [-]%, and the severe ones will reduce production by more than half, or even no harvest.

These farmers are seeing a bumper harvest, but the take-all disease of wheat is also getting worse.Numerous agricultural officials and technicians have entered the rural fields to help farmers prepare pesticides and deal with pests according to the severity of the disease in each area.

Some people spray pesticides, while others use the heading period to irrigate the water-deficient wheat fields.Farther away, groups of people were setting up huge waterwheels by the river, and officials were patrolling around on horseback. The constant flow of horse-drawn carriages made the American delegation feel ashamed of it.

When did those city-states in America have such a busy farming scene?These American representatives have different minds?Corn is the staple food of Americans. In fact, the taste of corn is not good. It is good to eat it once in a while. If you eat it every day, it will be a very heavy burden on the stomach function.In fact, the same is true for wheat. In the past, wheat was not used to be ground into flour for steaming steamed buns and making noodles. Instead, it was directly put into a pot and boiled with water, and finally boiled into wheat porridge.

But at this time, Wei Guo abandoned the habit of making wheat porridge. It turned out that people didn't know that the flour tasted good and was easy to digest, but they had too little food and were reluctant to waste the wheat bran.Now, with the increase of grain income in Wei State, the per capita disposable grain has increased, and people have begun to change their living habits.Wheat porridge has completely withdrawn from the lives of the common people. In some places with large river drops, huge hydraulic stone mills have been built to grind flour.The flour was used for food, and the bran was used for livestock.Anyway, the industrious Han people would not waste a grain of grain.

With the increase of Wei State's grain production (a large part of the grain comes from looting), which caused the rise of Wei State's breeding industry, in an ordinary village, there are pigs running everywhere, chickens and ducks squeaking, these livestock And poultry farming, part of it will be sold for money, and part of it will enter the food and drink of the people.

At this time, the High Priest of the Feathered Snake God has been fascinated by the various instruments that appeared along the Tongji Canal in the Wei State. These instruments that exude ancient oriental wisdom are not only simple, but also practical.

The news from the American delegation will be sent to Ran Ming's case immediately through the news channel of the Royal Secret Service. After the performance of these American delegations, Ran Ming can draw a conclusion.In fact, the American delegation was very little affected by the Chinese civilization. If it wasn't for their intelligence to degenerate, then it was the survivors of the Shang Dynasty who had encountered an accident.But this is not Ran Ming's concern.

Politics is like a urinal. When it is needed, it must appear where it is needed. When it is not needed, it can be thrown away and discarded.From the bottom of his heart, Ran Ming didn't want to pull Americans into the big family of the Chinese nation, but for the sake of ruling, this emotion must be discarded.

There is a saying that the emperor is ruthless, not that the emperor has no emotion, but because, with emotion, there will be too many ties, and with these ties, it is impossible to realize one's intention step by step.In order to unify, Qin Shihuang burned the books of the six languages, and burned any written records that did not belong to the Qin Dynasty. For historical inheritance, doing so was a very serious mistake, but for an emperor, doing so was the most in line with Qin's interests.If Qin Shihuang hadn't had a heart of stone, I am afraid that China would still be like India, with more than 180 ethnic groups, more than 200 languages ​​and more than 100 scripts, and thousands of beliefs, and the whole country would be a mess.

In the history of the Central Plains, whether it was Qin Shihuang or Tang Taizong, they were all heartless people.Only ruthless they created the great cause of creation.Ran Ming shook his head, trying to get all the emotions out of his head.

It was already late at night, but the Taiwu Hall was brightly lit, and there were many people. Ran Ming held an enlarged cabinet meeting. Not only all the cabinet members participated, but even the officials above rank five in Ye City also participated.
