The Strongest Virtuous Saint in the Great Antiquity

Although Yang Jian's proposal is whimsical, once it is realized, it will actually have a very decisive effect on the upcoming battle of Shang and Zhou.

In this era, the war still lingers on soldiers against soldiers, with generals and wars between the two countries, and the exchange of credentials, informing the enemy of the date and location of the war, and finally setting out the stage of a confrontation between chariots and horses.

This method of warfare will continue until the Spring and Autumn Period, and in the Warring States Period, because countries stand side by side and wars continue, such an upright and upright war is no longer suitable for the needs of various countries. Therefore, more cunning methods of warfare appeared.

The most famous of these is the emergence of Sun Tzu's Art of War, and Sun Tzu's Art of War is the first to propose the most suitable way for such things as war, that is, soldiers, deceitful ways, and war is to play tricks and tricks, who is so special with you Bright and upright!

History is written by the victors, as long as you can win, it doesn't matter what you make yourself look like!

Therefore, once Yang Jian's special forces are formed, coupled with some more advanced combat concepts, for future enemies, this army of only 2.5 people will become a reminder on the [-] battlefield...

Thinking of this, Song Yun couldn't help but look forward to it.

At this time, Nuwa happened to see the smile on Song Yun's face when she entered the house. She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Song Yunzi, why are you so happy?"

Song Yun came back to his senses, looked at Nuwa and said with a smile: "Of course it's a good thing. Don't worry, girl, everything is being implemented according to my plan now. We have a great chance of winning this battle."

After listening to Song Yun's words, Nu Wa chuckled softly: "From the moment I know you to now, I know that you have never fought unprepared battles. I have always been at ease with your plans."

In fact, from the very beginning, Nuwa was not too worried about this battle of conferring gods...

Song Yun was also stunned after hearing this, and then appreciated Nu Wa's heart is big enough. .

Chapter [-] Some of the pots are for the officials to carry

】 Chapter [-] Some of the pots are for the ministers to take back the most powerful sages in the prehistoric times Chapter [-] Some pots are for the ministers to take. There are also more than [-] princes and younger brothers, who are separately sealed in various corners of the Central Plains.

Among the more than [-] younger brothers, the four uncles in the south, south, north and west are second only to the eldest businessman.

Divided according to the society, the Shang Dynasty was the leader, and the four princes in the south, south, and northwest were the people who spoke to each region, and the two hundred junior princes under each of these four princes were their younger brothers.

The entire Shang Dynasty was maintained under such a system.

According to the regulations of the Shang Dynasty, every year, the four princes in the south, south, and northwest would send people to Chaoge to pay tribute. Business nation status!

As to whether the people who came to pay tribute were themselves or officials they sent, it was not particularly important.

However, in order to show their loyalty, the four of them usually come in person to show the importance they attach to the boss of the Shang Kingdom.

The time to pay the Sui Gong this year has come, and each uncle will make different plans according to their distance, and then arrive at Chaoge before the time to pay the Sui Gong, so as not to be late. 16

"General, it seems that there are suddenly more people going to and from Chaoge recently."

Zhang Guifang is now Yang Jian's number one horse boy and the deputy general of his army. Their army is currently training outside Chaoge City. The soldiers are training. Zhang Guifang looks curiously at Chaoge City. Long team.

Although Chaoge was the capital of the Shang Dynasty, there were a lot of people coming and going on weekdays, but there were still very few people like today, so Zhang Guifang asked this question.

Yang Jian glanced at the people who were lining up, and then said, "I heard General Huang say a few days ago that the time to pay the tribute is coming soon. These are the troops sent by the princes."

After listening to Yang Jian's explanation, Zhang Guifang suddenly said: "So that's the case, I'm just saying why there are so many people all of a sudden."

In this era of slavery, the annual tribute paid by the feudal lords not only includes currency and goods, but the most important ones are slaves, that is, people!

Otherwise, why are there so many people in line?

Of course, it is impossible for these slaves to enter Chaoge City. They are usually escorted by the princes to the barracks or the slave camp to be stationed. The person in charge will communicate with the army in the city and submit the number of slaves. Specialists are responsible for checking.

It seems to be simple, but the process is actually very cumbersome. In addition to the finances of dozens of other vehicles that the princes donate as tribute, it does take a lot of time to register...

Zhang Guifang seemed to be very curious about the properties that the lords paid tribute. Seeing that he still had the urge to take a look, Yang Jian said angrily: "These tributes belong to the king, what does it have to do with you? Hurry up and give them to me. Go to training!"

"If my expectations are not bad, there will be another war in the near future."

After hearing this, Zhang Guifang smiled helplessly and said, "Yes, General."

Then he followed Yang Jian towards the troops.

Their army is the most special of the entire Shang Dynasty army, because their commander and lieutenant are to train with their own soldiers...

A few days later, it will be the day of the great court meeting. On this day, the Emperor Yi will convene a hundred civil and military officials to discuss state affairs. Of course, this time the great court meeting also includes the matter of the feudal lords.

The people who came to Chaoge to pay the annual tribute this time were surprisingly unanimous, that is, the four princes themselves.

After discussing state affairs with Baiguan, Emperor Yi officially began to receive the offerings of the four uncles.

After the official in charge of etiquette informed Di Yi about the tributes presented by the four uncles this year, Di Yi smiled and said to them that your little brothers are very sensible, and I am very satisfied with the boss, and I will definitely take care of you more in the future. of.

At this time, the four uncles also expressed their loyalty in a timely manner, saying that they will unite around the Shang Dynasty with the boss as the core in the future, fully and thoroughly implement the will of the business boss, and firmly establish that what the boss says is the truth, and the boss's words are the truth. Will is our will, unswervingly safeguarding the authority of the business boss and centralized and unified leadership...

Anyway, this kind of grand meeting is such a rhythm.

According to past experience, after experiencing the business exchange between the boss and the younger brother, there is basically nothing major, but this year seems to be different...

After the Emperor Yi laughed and talked with his younger brother about the business exchange, he suddenly said: "Everyone, now the world is at peace, and there are few injustices, the widow and all the Aiqing discussed it, taking advantage of the fact that there is no war now, If you want to persuade you to teach farming and sang, and make farming more prosperous, what do you love ministers think?"

After listening to Di Yi's words, Shang Rong, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately walked out and said with his hands: "Your Majesty's words are reasonable, if the agricultural affairs are booming at this time, within three years, I will definitely make my court stronger. to grow."

Bigan also made a list and said: "Shang Xiang's words are good, but the population in the world is only that small. According to the current population ratio, it may be difficult if you want to promote agriculture."

After hearing this, Emperor Yi nodded his head and said, "Well, what Bi Gan said was also something that few people thought about."

Wen Zhong stood up and cupped his hands at this time and said, "Reporting to the king, this minister has something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not."

After hearing this, Emperor Yi couldn't help laughing and said: "The Grand Master is a few important ministers, what can't you say? Please tell me!"

Wen Zhong said solemnly: "The total population of our dynasty has remained unchanged. If the king wants to develop agriculture, he must reduce the number of soldiers, so there are 830 people who are missing. Therefore, the minister asked the king to set the upper limit of the number of soldiers and horses in the world. , and use the surplus soldiers for farming!"

Hearing Wen Zhong's remarks, those who didn't know the truth were suddenly shocked. Among the four princes, Chonghou Hu's face changed greatly, while the other three princes were not surprised at all.
