Is this a godsend?

Some people think that this rumor may come from the fact that Empress Jiang has no children, and the rest of the concubines spread it in the name of harming her in order to seek high status. Among all races, it is most suspected that it came from the person who had Su Shibin.

Dictionary Burst 2:

Civil officials, also known as Wenguan, in ancient times, merchants used special personnel to manage text and files, recorded in books made of wooden slips, and even detailed the location and ownership of each public toilet in the city, which is related to the amount of fertilizer needed for agricultural planting. How to allocate is a very important official position.

At first it was called "Book Officer" or "Toilet Officer". Later, because these special personnel would draw lines on the clothes on the back, which was very close to the numbers introduced from India, they were called Text Officers, and because they were in charge of writing. , and the toilet official in charge of fertilizer went out independently as "Feiyi" and was renamed "Civilian Official".

Extension: Feiyi, Shang called the person who managed toilets and fertilizers independently as "Fei", and Qin called it "Yi", which means the leftover arrow, and later generations collectively called it "Feiyi". This special management city The duties of residents' excretion and public health did not disappear until modern times.

History Burst 3:

Wen Zhong: Formerly known as Zhong, it is said that it was the beginning of civil servants. It created the civil service system and classified official positions by tattoos. It established the first effective and relatively strict professional bureaucratic system in Chinese history; not only that, but also established a system of official documents. Use different textures to distinguish the urgency of official documents.

Because its achievements are no less than that of Cangjie who created characters, and because most of the records on wood slips in the Shang Dynasty are described and defined grammatical formats, they are considered to be the beginning of literature.

There is also a wooden slip in the late Shang Dynasty. After Shang Emperor Geng succeeded to the throne, he was granted the title of Fei, and he was also called Fei Zhong. and died.

It is rumored that this man is one foot tall, tall and handsome, but gentle to others, big but not domineering, Zhou people praise him as a unicorn, and later generations also use qilin to describe a boy who is tall and healthy, with a gentle personality and outstanding intelligence.

There is another saying that she is a female official, but no corresponding unearthed documents have been found to record this. It should be mostly derogatory by Emperor Geng.

Chapter 18 A more serious chapter

"Boyang!" Zishou half-lyed on the bed, surrounded by white fluff, "I have something for you to do."

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" The young man at the bottom bowed his hands, as a noble who is loyal to the "Shang" group, not to the "Shang King", his expression is calmer than other nobles who saw Zishou many.

He doesn't care whether King Shang is a "crazy king", as long as his epilepsy does not endanger Shang's authority, then he has nothing to do with him. A little epilepsy is better.

You know, since the rumors spread, the princes who have been restless since Emperor Yi are now behaved, and those who usually flirt with the surrounding countries are the same, and even the surrounding barbarians know about it. It also became much quieter.

Even Dongyi, who had the worst deal with Shang, held a meeting quietly, and selected a "lucky guy" to bring a piece of salt from Qi Real Estate to inquire about news. Because Shang's transportation and trade are relatively developed, there are many visitors from all over the world. It is not a large-scale team, even Dongyi will not be attacked. [How developed is this trade?The output in Yunnan and Guizhou can be found]

Therefore, Boyang thinks that the king of Shang must be a bit insane. I hope his son will not go crazy so often, and Zishou also feels that he will not be called "Shang's epilepsy king" by later generations instead of "Shang's epilepsy king". King Zhou of Shang, right?After all, the posthumous title "Zhou" should not be able to be pinned on his own head now, but the nickname "Dian" that does not belong to the posthumous title is not easy to say.

"Let me ask you a question, did Zhou Hou (not a marquis, but a prince) have a hundred sons?"

"Well, Your Majesty, Uncle Zhou does have a hundred sons, but most of them are adopted sons. He adopts the sons of nobles who lost their fathers as adopted sons, raises and teaches them, so as to stabilize people's hearts." The means of the surrounding barbarians.

Taking the son of the leader of the barbarian tribe defeated by Zhou as a adopted son, and then using it as a vanguard to subdue the remaining barbarian tribes, to be honest, this method must be very effective once you hear it.

"Then does he have a daughter? Is it beautiful?" Zishou continued to ask, which made Boyang not know how to answer. Who cares about this question, or is it that the king is planning to marry Zhou Hou, but the other party has previously regarded Shang's clan The women are all back!

"This is what I think. The Western Zhou Dynasty could not completely eradicate the state, because then the barbarians would have no restraint." Especially when Cheng Zhou expanded to the point where he could not expand, he began to expand to Jin. This explains a message in disguise. The wild chickens that Manzi was easy to beat were all gone, and the rest were all lumped together.

If Chengzhou is destroyed at this time, it is equivalent to Song and Mongolia jointly destroying the Kingdom of Jin. Zhou people will deeply hate the merchant's stabbing in the back, and the ruling area will not be able to calm down in a short time.

To mobilize other princes and troops to defend against the barbarians' counterattack, it seems that they are operating in enemy-occupied areas on their own territory. Food and scenery have always been good.

In this era, there is no debate between Hua and Barbarians. It is normal for barbarians to move in and become civilized people. Isn’t that how Shang came here? Without Xiahou’s own death, they would not be able to overthrow Daxia in one fell swoop and become a new civilized person. .

Since the people at that time could support the merchants to enter the Central Plains, it is normal for the people of the Western Zhou Dynasty to choose to support the barbarians in the west to move into the Zhou land and fight the security war with the merchants after being abused by the merchant army.

But security warfare is not a good thing to fight. Brother, such a fortress in the United States has destroyed himself. Zishou doesn’t think he can still be richer than the Yankees and can afford this kind of thing.

"Your Majesty is wise!" This is what Bo Yang has been worried about all the time. For some reason, this epileptic king is always full of malice towards Cheng Zhou. He is afraid that he will suddenly go mad and fight Cheng Zhou. But does this and Uncle Zhou have a daughter? does it matter?

"However, Cheng Zhou was about to make a move, and Zhou Hou used the name of a hundred sons to win people's hearts. If things go on like this, the surrounding barbarians and princes will all obey his virtue, and his wings will become abundant, which will definitely become a serious problem for my big businessman!"

"The king is right" is true.

"Well, let's get to the point, Miss Zhou?"

"I don't know, I can send someone to inquire, but my lord, why is it so concerned with Zhou's appearance?"

"I think so," Zi Shou paralyzed on the fur, "Since we want tribute girls from princes, how can we lose Zhou Hou? If Zhou Hou doesn't want to, then I can personally ask the sixth division to hold his lord's head." , if he is willing, it will not only show his surrender to my Dashang, but he can also use this to intervene in Xiqi affairs in the future."

"Your Majesty's intention is..." The other party was at a loss, completely unable to understand what kind of plan it was. The schemes and strategies of this era could not support him to understand such a convoluted train of thought.

"If you don't give it to me, go and snatch it, snatch a child from my husband, and then raise him until he is 12 years old, and make him Zhou Hou." As for whether you like Zhou girl or not, it doesn't matter, anyway, she is a tool person, and asking whether she is beautiful or not is just to avoid yourself when the time comes Spit it out after seeing it.

"Being the prince of Shang and the son of a Zhou daughter, what's the problem with ruling Zhou? As for Zhou Bo's hundred sons..."

If there were really a hundred sons, it would be troublesome. Since most of them were adoptive sons, they would not be able to succeed to the throne. Some of them might be adopted children of barbarian leaders, and Zhou people would not obey them even more.

"Then let Zhou Hou's blood relatives and children die." Zi Shou said casually, and the faces of the nobles below were all distorted. This king is too crazy, right?What kind of bad embryo could come up with such a wicked way?

But Zishou thinks it's normal. Isn't that how P club games are played? You don't care whether I got married or snatched it back. As long as there are children who get the right to declare, I will send my father-in-law's family on the road neatly, isn't it? solved?

Whether to support the child of the barbarian leader or the grandson of the original Uncle Zhou is an easy choice for the nobles of this era, isn't it?

As a qualified Paradox player, Zishou can't play big villains, but petty villains are still possible. As for whether these nobles and descendants are beautified as "deficient and virtuous" or "dissolute" It doesn't matter if you don't have a limit, it's different from people in this era who pay attention to what happens after death. As a person who has died once, Zishou doesn't care what future generations think.

It doesn't matter even if his son's generation is extinct, since I'm already dead anyway, so what's the use of talking about it? .jpg.As long as the country is not bombed by yourself, in other words, as long as you are not the last king, it is fine.

After all, didn’t the posterity also say that a gentleman is evil, because all the evil in the world returns to him—as long as he is not the last king, then even if it is his own fault, it will be carried by future generations~.

As for whether such enfeoffment will lead to the chaos of the Eight Kings in the future, that son doesn't care. Anyway, it's his son's headache. Why did his father get so many brothers out? It's a bit of a sense of crisis, so he won't be addicted to sensuality, just like Zishou also had a headache why his father gave him a whole micro-Qi, it took almost a year to send it out, and it still hasn't been completely resolved.

Because Zishou was holding a scabbard, who was in favor and who was against, and the prestige of the mad king, no one opposed his plan. Bo Yang also felt that this move might not be conducive to the peace of the royal family of the Shang king, but it was indeed beneficial to the king of Shang. This country or the alliance, so they happily received the token scepter and went on an envoy for a week.

Now, the pressure is on Xiqi's side.

Of course Ji Chang has daughters, and there are quite a few of them. Although most of them are plain-looking, it is not impossible to choose a handsome and lovely one. Even if there are no biological daughters, the number of clan daughters is even greater.

But the problem is, who the hell wants to get the Chamber of Commerce to ask him to pay tribute to his daughter? This is completely putting Ji Chang on the fire. It means that the king of Shang thinks highly of you and gives you great honor, but you throw Shang's face on the ground and step on it.

Do you know who would be the craziest?

It's Chongguo, Yousu, and the Lieshan family, because they are the current and future father-in-laws of the king of Shang, but you say that the father-in-law of the king of Shang is not a dog, this is an insulting approach , even if the King of Shang doesn't want to hammer you for a whole week, the nobles below will still clamor to hammer you.

And here is the troublesome point. If this is the case, the other party is fighting against the enemy, and everyone's face will be lost.

For the princes and nobles of Chengzhou, it is that you, Ji Chang, are too stingy, and you don’t even want to have a daughter, but you want them to use their whole family to resist the soldiers of the merchant army. Then the scene of the battle of Muye and the merchant army will probably appear in Xiqi hits—shoots with the bow reversed, strikes with the spear—the moment he is hit in front of the head, he jumps back.

Then agree?It’s not okay to promise, you’re hooking up around here, intending to oppose the business, although the intention is not very obvious, but the second and fifth boys have already smelled the same smell and approached, and there hasn’t been any major conflict with the business, well, you go Became the father-in-law of Shang Wang.

It's as if the two countries are at war with each other, and one of the vassal countries under one of them is waving the flag and shouting, offending everyone who can be offended, and as a result, all the cruel words are finished. In the end, the two sides directly become a family. Guess who is the most embarrassing now?

In order not to make himself the most embarrassing one, as long as Ji Chang dared to agree, and even dared to think about it for a while, then the princes of Shang and even those barbarians he had managed to win over would sell him decisively.

Fortunately, there is no such thing as the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in this era, otherwise the princes of Chengzhou would shout with a Spartan face, "The ministers are about to fight to the death, why did your majesty surrender first?"

At this time, Ji Chang hadn't thought about inheritance rights and claims at all, and he felt that this Shang king didn't follow the routine at all, which was much more difficult than all previous Shang kings combined.

Although the Shang kings of the previous generations were stronger in national power and military power, the threat of Dongyi was relatively lower, and the princes of the four fields were more submissive, it was easy to guess what they would do and what they would do. Time and time again, he saved himself from danger, and with the help of the threat of barbarians, he became stronger and stronger.

But now this child, he doesn't play cards according to the routine at all, he is crazy!

Ji Chang originally thought that Shang Wang must be pretending to be crazy, or that the rumors were not true, and he was just purely tyrannical and innocent. Now it has been proved that he is not a tyrannical and innocent person, but is not a normal person at all!

Do normal people ever ask one of their two biggest threats?

A major symbol of the rupture of the relationship between Shang and Zhou is the return of Emperor Yi to his sister. This is the relationship and attitude that should exist between the rupture of this era and the relationship between Shang and Zhou.

It's as if the dragon slaying warrior took out a diamond ring instead of a dragon slaying sword when facing a giant dragon. Ji Chang was shocked by this divine unfolding.

No matter how serious it is, this matter cannot be dragged on obviously. A solution must be made. Ji Chang thought about the best solution for a long time, and felt that it could only be dragged on. Fortunately, he has enough children. , Call the clan women together, let the Shang envoy come over, and then choose slowly.

As for when to pick him, of course Ji Chang thought of a way to break the game when he was picked!

Anyway, it is impossible to refuse. If you refuse, Erwuzi will definitely be happy, but his loyal backbones will definitely not be happy if they are going to fight with the sixth master of Shang Wang; It's between Shang and Zhou, but Er Wu Zai will definitely jump back.

It can be said that you have to give up at least half of your strength anyway, and no matter which one you choose, within 30 to [-] years, if Cheng Zhou wants to fight against business, no one will support or support it. But, don't even think about it, but eight hundred princes may come to beat him unexpectedly.

Ji Chang was in a state of desperation, and his hair was falling out in handfuls, but Zishou put this matter aside. As a qualified P agency player, the government affairs of the Shang Dynasty were still very simple to deal with, and even some policies and practices , I used it without even thinking about it.

The advantages and disadvantages are invisible, but the nobles below generally believe that the king of Shang must have a serious brain disease, and the five elements are lacking in virtue, the gossip is lacking in heart, the appearance is only black, crazy and bad.

"There is no rain in the spring? Is there a severe drought?" Zi Shou thought for a while, and it seemed that the water level in the water was still very high.

Although the main river is about to stop flowing, and the groundwater has dropped a lot, causing the well water to become insufficient, but since he forbids this group of people to cut down the trees in the north, the sandstorm has stopped patronizing, and various pools and small The water level of the lake is still quite high.

"Forget it, it's just right if the flow is cut off." Zishou ordered to send slaves down the almost dry river to dig river mud to fertilize the fields, and then ordered craftsmen to build dams. Of course, there are no dams in later generations in this era.

However, it does not prevent Zi Shou from asking them to use the simplest solution, mining limestone from Chaogeshan, and then using coke to mix other materials and calcining at high temperature to see if they can get out cement, and then using stones and such things. Unreliable soil and cement built a high dam on the river.

The river was clear and shallow, even though it seemed to stop flowing because of the lack of rain, but when Zishou really built the dam, the upstream river continued to flow down, causing the water level to rise.

The nobles of Shang and the people of the country were naturally rejoiced, and held a Y party for three days and three nights to celebrate that the severe drought this year had been resolved in advance by the king, and the king was indeed father and son with God—but the Dongyi people in the lower reaches were numb.You fucking cut off all the rivers upstream, so what do Dongyi and the others rely on for food?

And what Dongyi doesn't know is that their problem may not be "Purchase (big) rent (employment) woman (business), why is there no water!?" He didn't even know if the cement mortar could withstand the water pressure when it was burned.

Because they can withstand it, they can still rely on groundwater, rain, and mountain springs to hang out. If they can't withstand it.... Ask, the upstream dam exploded, what happened downstream?

Especially Zishou, a rascal, built a dam on the edge of the Su family and the just-drawn Qi State. Not only did Dongyi go numb, but Wei Ziqi, who led people to farm here to prepare to bear the humiliation, was also numb.

The dam was so crudely built that Zishou felt that it might be finished at any time, it was stuck upstream of them, and now they felt the same pressure as Ji Chang. Don’t blow up this thing, there will be no water; blow it up, it’s worse than no water, You still don't dare to hit him, because you have Su Shi's face, if you dare to hit me, I'll dig the dam down.

"In addition to building the dam, mobilize all the unused slaves in Dongyi, use up the manpower in advance, and use it to build the canal. I want to build a canal that diverts water from the big river to Modu." Anyway, agricultural production within the radiation range can be guaranteed.

"But if the slaves are exhausted..."

"We have cut off the water, do you think Dongyi will have food next year?" Zishou said with a calm face, "It takes too much effort to fight and kill, and when the time comes, Dongyi people will take the initiative to beat us when they have no food to eat. And we only need to guard the city, harvest the food in advance, and when they are almost starved to death, go out and arrest people, and the job will be over. In this way, if there are slaves, there is no need to go to Dongyi's territory to be annoying, let alone them I will take the initiative to send the slave to the door."

Because they can't feed so many people, of course, Shang probably can't feed them either, but throw them all on the canals and dam construction sites, or exchange them for rice with the barbarians from Chu in the south.

"But, my lord, if Xiqi is there..." Da Shang is the upper reaches of Dongyi, but Xiqi is also the upper reaches of Shang!

"They can't repair it!" Because it is in the Shang area, because it is a large plain, the water flow has become gentle, and the water level has dropped severely, and some rivers even stop flowing intermittently. It is relatively easy to build a dam.

But what about Zhou?Their part is a big river that couldn't be more serious, Xiu!You fucking built a Yellow River dam on the most turbulent river to open my eyes?

[PS1]

Magic History Burst:

Cement dams in the Shang Dynasty:

A large number of dams were built during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and some kind of high-temperature calcined earthen cement materials were used. It can be seen that the design and construction of water conservancy projects in the Shang and Zhou dynasties had reached a very high level, especially in the Shang Dynasty. On the plain, almost every river has large and small dams.

According to archaeological findings, it may have encountered climate anomalies for more than ten consecutive years, repeated droughts and heavy rains, which greatly damaged agricultural production. Therefore, people at that time had to build a large number of water projects to divert the water flow. storage.

This set of irrigation and water conservancy system, which seems to be very advanced now, was used until the end of the Han Dynasty before it was seriously damaged due to the war.

However, judging from the large number of "mass graves" found around the river, the construction of this water conservancy system at that time consumed the lives of countless slaves, and may even have exhausted the human resources in East China and Shandong for a time. The fuse of a series of events such as the rebellion of King Qi during the period greatly consumed the power of Shang.

[PS2]

A true history that is more magical than a magical history:

The ancient city of Liangzhu 5100 years ago, the longest 5 kilometers long, 100 meters wide dam (wait how many meters wide do you say?), the construction technology is grass squares made of reeds, which are filled with blue plaster, soil and lime mixture , tamped into pieces of grass-wrapped square bricks.The dam body is laid vertically and horizontally in a staggered manner, supporting each other.

In places where the soil is soft, silt will be excavated, filled with gypsum and grass-wrapped silt, then piled with green silt, then reinforced with grass-wrapped bricks, and the top of the dam body will be covered with loess for compaction.

There will be slopes for unloading force on the water surface, and even means such as digging trenches and filling mud. From surveying and mapping to construction technology, it is very advanced.

And they have built 11 such dams, and only the external engineering volume is as high as 260 million cubic meters.

Not only that, but the city also uses extremely sophisticated construction technology. The width of the city wall is 40-60 meters, the masonry concrete structure, and there are six water gates. Boom all day.

[So, what happened in China then?Have this kind of giant engineering demand?Or is the hammer wonder a handicraft handed down from Chinese ancestors? 】

Chapter 19: The little girl who grows mushrooms?

:

After dispatching everyone to start large-scale water conservancy project construction and urging the coking workshop to produce more coke to burn more soil and cement, before filling the fox fur with the ones made by Su Bing (Zi Shou is sorry to ask inside Where did the fox velvet come from) the fluffy pillow was patted a little more fluffy, and he continued to be a useless person with nothing to do in the "oldest sofa".

"Your Majesty, Zhong Zi asked to see" and "let her in" to engage in water conservancy projects. As a pre-modern civil engineering dog, although Zi Shou's soul did not stay on the construction site, he also knew that such a large-scale project required various documents, surveys, and records. Little, and this requires the "living library" under the Qilin little sister to be responsible.

He even wondered if the girl had a computer in her head, and her document management ability in this area was very strong, but her real intelligence was almost at the level of an artificial mentally retarded person.

It didn't take long before I heard subtle footsteps. Compared with the footsteps of this era's chopsticks that creaked the strip wooden floor of his own palace, Zhong's footsteps were relatively light, and it might also be related to the meat balls on the soles of his feet and the Cat-like unloading joints are related to soft muscles.

"What's the matter?" Zishou put down the book in his hand, it is indeed much better than bone fragments, but it still does not support drawing something that makes people happy, and if it is made of cloth, it is too expensive to afford.

"My three sisters also came to see you for dinner." Zhong looked silly and happy, as if he didn't think there was any problem with dragging his family to the king of Shang to eat, well, the nobles of this era didn't think so either. What's the problem, don't talk about dragging your family to eat, like the earliest Zhou, it's common to drag your family to beg for food.

"Didn't you say that you need to repair things recently? They are all useful, but they eat a little too much."

"Oh!?" Zishou looked at the three people behind Zhong Zhong with a noncommittal face. It's normal that they are all women. The difference between women and men is not very big these days. They run around, and there is no such condition in the boudoir.

The first one is tall, at least 1.8 meters tall, except for no clothes, green hair, and a lot of vine-like decorations on the hair, no other human features can be seen, and the skin is a very healthy wheat-blonde , that is, the golden color of fully mature wheat is slightly brownish, with a very vigorous figure and solid muscles.

At first glance, it is the image of a classic female warrior in Japanese manga.
