Is this a godsend?

"Buzz!" On the wooden watchtower, the archer fired an arrow and nailed to the ground an old wolf that was sniffing around the edge of the camp. This kind of old wolf is a semi-expelled individual of the wolf pack, very cunning, and is usually responsible for scouting and testing. Work.

"There are wolves!" Several young and strong men with long wooden poles pushed open the fence door, rushed out, and dragged in the twitching wolf corpse. Immediately, a warrior with a smile on his face came over with a bronze knife, and cut open the wolf's skin. , and then took out the internal organs, placed them on a small altar, and threw the rest into the pot to cook.

Send a bowl of meat soup to the little noble overseer.Although the old wolf's meat was sticky and astringent, in the eyes of people in this era, there is really nothing to be picky about. Having a bowl of broth to drink is already a very happy thing.

However, even with such defensive measures, it was still unable to prevent the beasts from running in. At night, the wolves began to retaliate and attack, biting a gap, sneaking in and killing two workers and wounding seven or eight people. Of course, they also left Several wolf carcasses.

In cities and villages of this era, it is not too uncommon. After all, tigers can take away people in Modu, let alone in such wild camps.

It is not a joke that there are few people but many beasts. This was something Confucius lamented in the Spring and Autumn Period, but now it is Shang, and there are still hundreds of years from the time of Confucius.

Compared with Shang's crude camp, Zhou's Tongguan has a prototype of a Muguan city. Ji Fa returned to his residence, a wooden house that was obviously much neater and wider, and the maid lit a brazier to disperse the An increasingly intense chill.

"Your Majesty, Xiqi Youxin" "Let's watch with me" Ji Fa had no time to rest, so he could only take the wooden slips, and suddenly his face became much uglier. He was named Jinbo, and the fiefdom was in Jindi, which is not unreasonable What, the next thing is to send a letter from Ji Chang to Zishou, and after getting the King of Shang's confirmation, the matter will be settled.

And this confirmation is just a process under normal circumstances, but now it is different. Shang started to build Hangu in the west of Jindi, which clearly means that he is planning to completely bring the entire Jindi into his ruling area. However, The nobles in Jindi did not respond.

Of course they didn't respond, they didn't feel that the Chamber of Commerce was plotting their place, on the contrary, Zhou's attitude of wanting Najin's land for his own use was obvious. There is no need to march into the barren lands to the west.

The king of Shang probably wouldn't be so easy to confirm, and this fiefdom also showed a bad message, that is, Ji Chang would not be able to hold on anymore, if Bo Yi Kao could not be resolved, and Ji Chang died, then Ji Kao would be As a legitimate heir, it is estimated that the king of Shang is also delaying time, waiting for Ji Chang to die.

Now it depends on whether Ji Kao died first or Ji Chang died first. The alchemist who was sent to poison Ji Kao before has not responded to the letter. Maybe it failed and they have to find another way.

"Brother, it is not suitable to be the Marquis of Zhou at this time." Ji Fa threw the wooden slip into the brazier. Ji Kao is indeed a good brother and very capable, but he is too conformist. At this critical moment, it is impossible to be King Shang, the opponent of the mad king, is also the main reason why Ji Chang intends to become a virtuous man.

Establishing a heir is for the sake of stability, and Shang needs this kind of stability. When Zhou is carrying out major events, what he needs is precisely not this kind of stability. Why not be an obedient minister of Shang for stability?Wouldn't it be more stable?

Gein, the rise of Zhou mostly depends on the mediocrity of the two generations of Ji Chang and the Shang king of the previous generation, and Zhou's counselors, except for one Guangchengzi of unknown origin, whether it is Lu Shang or others, are not young At first, Ji Chang wasn't worried, because veteran officials like Shang Bigan and Jizi were not young anymore.

However, now it seems that the new King Shang is far more intelligent than he knows, and can even be called crazy. He is brave and wise, but acts erratically. This kind of enemy is the most frightening.

Ji Chang thought that once he died, Ji Kao would be alone. Even with Lu Shang's help to resist Shang's aggressive attack, what then?

Ji Kao is nearly 10 years older than Shang Wang, and Shang Wang is still so difficult to deal with when he is still a young man. After 20 years, he will be tempered by time into a cunning and cunning shape. How can Lu Shang, who is difficult to see things, stand up?

Although Lu Shang actually lived to be more than 70 years old, he not only persisted until Emperor Xin's 30th sacrifice, that is, 21 years later, but also after that, he died after killing Wu Wang Jifa and pacifying Qi.

However, who could have predicted such a thing?

If Ji Kao is established as the heir, who should be established when Ji Kao dies?Ji Fa?At that time, Ji Fa was also very old and had been suppressed for 30 to [-] years. Whether he still had ambitions was a problem.

All the sons and daughters are useless, but what about the grandsons?As far as those born at present are either waste or infants, when the time comes, there will be a young master inside and a strong enemy outside, and I am afraid that if it is not Cheng Zhou, the clan will open the door and surrender directly.

The only thing that made Ji Chang and Ji Fa gratified was that King Shang didn't have a son yet, and his side was the master of Shaoguoyi, and the opposite side looked almost the same.

Modu, "vomit!" Jiang Yu covered her mouth violently. As a person who has been there, she knew that she was pregnant again. Vomiting.

The queen conceived again, which was a great joy. For the next three days, both Modu and Lutaiyuan held large-scale sacrifices and celebrations. The king of Shang with heirs and the king of Shang without heirs were completely different things.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty." The envoys from Huaiyi bowed respectfully. Their purpose of coming was very simple. Those barbarians from Chuyi got good rice and learned excellent farming methods, and went back happily. Naturally, they also came to try their luck. Well, if the King of Shang went crazy, what good things would he reward?

"These oranges are pretty good, I can order more in the future." Zishou raised the oranges in his hand. This kind of oranges can only be found in the south of Huainan. These days, the long-distance transportation of fruits is a nightmare. If the weather hadn't turned cold, they would not have been able to deliver them. Come.

"This..." These are wild oranges. Who would grow them? Although they are edible, the labor and harvest are completely out of proportion.

In addition, there are quite a lot of tributes from Huaiyi, such as various dried fruits, animal skins, grains, wine, jade and dried fish, etc., and the things in return are some simple bronze ritual vessels, jade and cloth. , can also be regarded as a relatively major trade model - tribute trade.

It seems that the tribute is cheap but the reward is rich, but in fact, this is not the case at all, the tribute is cheap but the amount is large, mainly various materials and raw materials, but the reward is a luxury, in other words, it is equivalent to Trade these luxuries, decorations and currency to buy these goods directly and make a fortune.

And the other party did not suffer, because cloth and other things were indeed what they needed, and bronze ritual vessels and jade vessels were also necessary tools for nobles or tribal leaders to worship their ancestors and pray for blessings.

As for the superficial meaning that future generations have learned, this kind of thing cannot be changed by Zishou. After all, people in future generations have their own interests, and it is useless for him to change it. After all, misinterpretation and selective understanding Very common, for example, the development and evolution of Confucianism is an example, how to become like Confucius wants to jump out and beat people.

"Go down."

"Your Majesty, I've heard all about it..." "Do you have any special products for alien beauties?" Zi Shou sat up straight, and saw the envoy's face become very embarrassed, "Oh, no, Is there any novelty in that?" There was no sign of it, so he leaned down again, nestling in the white fluff like a disabled person.

"There's nothing, it's hard for a widow to do."

"The king means..." The other party was a little confused. In this era, who can understand this kind of subtext? "Of course, it depends on your sincerity. Is there such a good thing as giving up a penny and expecting ten thousand in return?"

Now the other party understands that they dislike the lack of money. How much money can a barbarian who doesn't have to wear clothes for digging mud and lotus roots to eat for a living? I'm not afraid that King Shang's fees are expensive, but I'm afraid he won't charge money!

Regarding the matter of selling rice seeds, Zishou also added a layer of religious color. Only the rice seeds blessed by the King of Shang and the rice planted according to the ceremony given by the King of Shang can have a high yield. Therefore, to get wild rice seeds from Chu, Then mix it with the rice seeds left in his own field, and give it to these Huaiyi.

As for whether there is any aborted rice in these, I don’t know, it is right to use them as an experiment. As for what if the aborted and maintainer lines are mixed together to form the second-generation aborted rice, what should I do if there is no harvest?That is of course your insincerity, and God has condemned you.

Send this rice to the king of Shang, and it can only be planted if the curse above is removed.

When Chudi also started to grow rice, the rice planting will be even easier. Chudi will directly ask Chudi to pay the rice, and then sell a part of it to Huaiyi and Chuyi at a high price. How much rice can you sell for the rest of the rice, except for what Shang Wang's family eats?

Of course, it is like learning from 82 Lafite. Although only 1 jins of rice were produced, 10 jins of them can be sold every year. Therefore, even though only tens of thousands of catties of rice were produced, hundreds of thousands of catties of seeds were sold. normal~

To be honest, even a well-known businessman in this era may not be able to understand Zishou's brain circuit, especially this mysterious idea of ​​OEM sales - take something produced by others, and then sell it back, and ask others to take it. Ten times the amount of rice in exchange, is there still such an operation?

As for the collected aborted rice, Zishou plans to keep it to deceive people, and when the time comes to switch it to other rice seeds, it will be said that "the curse has been eliminated".

Whoever has the first signs is not ready to admit the OEM trade of King Shang. He can't let those who bought his own seeds have high yields, but he can make the grains that don't buy his own rice have no harvest, or randomly select a few lucky ones every day to get no harvest. Let them realize that their own breeding has no future!

"The monk (the United States) can touch it, but I can't touch it?" Man-made agricultural disasters and famines, thereby monopolizing food and seeds, are the traditional skills of the Yankee agricultural group, and the people of South America are deeply touched.

After the breeding is completely mastered by Shang, then these Chu Yi and Huai Yi will almost be in the shape of Shang, "I hate robbery the most, and I don't have any technical content. What do you think?"

"..." The envoy really wanted to throw the sentence "I've never seen such a brazen person" on King Shang's face. In the whole of the Central Plains, who the hell is driving the Four Seasons car, don't you know?

Of course, this does not mean that Shang Wang will not drive the four-season car. Those who want a car are only small-scale cars, especially those who did not buy their own seeds. , the yield exploded in an instant, further proving that those who don't buy Shang Wang's seeds will definitely lose their harvest.

"Huaifang's sincerity will definitely satisfy the King!"

"Then I'll wait for your sincerity~" Zishou expressed that he was waiting for their "sincerity".

In order for these messengers to further strengthen the fact that rice planting is the future, Zishou entertained them with a meal, rice, tofu, and green vegetables, which were quite good food in this early winter day.

After the reception, the next day, Dongyi's envoy came in without saying anything, and knelt down for Zishou, the kind of prostration, "Oh~ why do you do this great gift?" Zishou asked knowingly.

When the climate is getting more and more abnormal, this guy releases water during the wet season and stores the water during the dry season. After planting mushrooms, he puts the wood in the river, and then flushes the water, just like flushing the toilet. How do you let the downstream live?

They didn't even have a reaction, and they were swept away by the flood of wood and rocks. The earth dams and embankments they built immediately exploded, and then the fields were flooded.

But at this time, the upstream began to store water, the water flow slowed down, and then the merchant army on rafts and simple wooden boats rushed down. The long boat, like a Viking robbery, hit your fishing village, and then drove all the way along the waterway. In the past, burning, killing and looting were all-encompassing, which made it impossible for Dongyi to engage in production along the river.

However, with the irrigation system and planting level of this era, if the production was not along the river, the yield would be too low. However, these merchant troops did not go deep, and after a while, they burned the village, and then quickly ran away in wooden boats and the wind.

These guys only come down to rob when the southeast wind blows, go down the river, go up with the wind, highlight a motor force along the river, there are not many people, but they don't look for the army to fight, they specialize in catching your savage farmers, fishermen and craftsmen , ignite your fields and villages.

In addition, due to the vile things that Zishou did a few years ago, Dongyi is now devastated, a hell on earth.

"Your Majesty!" The messenger kowtowed, he couldn't live anymore! "How about allowing Dongyi to enclose you?" The so-called internal enclosing means that the whole family migrated to the Shang territory. Generally, all of them had to become savages, and a few could become nationals, and their slaves were all owned by the merchants.

Generally, it's not that they are forced to live, no one will choose to be attached, but now these tribes in Dongyi really can't survive, "Your Majesty, be merciful!"

"If you don't want to, then forget it."

"No, we are willing!" The envoy shuddered, and there was still a way out, if you give this vile thing a few times, it will really be over.

[PS]

New Emperor Hui II found out!

In the Shang Dynasty, chickens were raised on a large scale, and chickens were hatched in incubators, which means that feed can be obtained during the slack season.

Well, the scale should be at least 100, otherwise ten or twenty, it is really free-range for ordinary farmers, and they have to use feed instead of free-range (this size of chickens cannot be free-range). That year was about 7 Tons of feed.....[A chicken needs about 72 kg of feed]

It has to be corn grains. If you use vegetable leaves, you have to double them. Uh, I have raised them, and you have to prepare them for ten chickens in an hour, not to mention that I bought the vegetable leaves from the market, not myself. planted.

Secondly, not all eggs can be hatched. Scratching your head, that is the mother of the hen~ Fertilized eggs are needed. Where did the Shang Dynasty find a large number of fertilized eggs?

As for the issue of the poultry plague..... The bird flu was invented in the Shang Dynasty, and the country can really be eliminated. The antibiotics used in modern-scale chicken farming are in kilograms~_(:з」∠)_, this It is still a modern professional farm, clean enough, and the feed will be severely punished if it is not mixed with antibiotics.

Chapter 64 Flying Tiger

In Lutai Garden, the daily banquets deal with the government affairs by the way, and the harvested rice is only enough for the Shang Wang’s family except for saving seeds and rewarding part of the rewards for the barbarians in Chu and trading with Huaiyi. After all, he does not need to pay taxes to anyone. The output of this 100 mu (70 mu in modern times) is enough for him to eat.

What's more, it's not rice every day, there are other foods and ingredients. As a king of Shang, he doesn't lack non-staple food, so his daily rice consumption is much lower.Mixed leeks with vinegar, boiled tofu, salted meat sauce, various barbecue meats, greasy berries, pickled fish and radishes are the content of today's banquet, which is already very rich in this era.

Even if it is Mr. Xiqi, Ji Kao has to admit that in terms of food, the food here is indeed much better than at home. Of course, it is not surprising that Xiqi is so poor.

Zishou basically didn't drink alcohol in this era, which was completely different from other merchants, which became one of the main reasons why other merchants thought he was faulty. Merchants were famous for drinking alcohol, but this refers to nobles, and what they drink "Wine", Zishou can only say that there is not much difference between it and vinegar.

They are all made from all kinds of sour and inedible wild fruits and messy grass seeds. The serious wine brewed with vanilla and black beans is something dedicated to the gods. Even the king of Shang can't drink it casually. Sake is an important tribute to merchant kings from various countries, and it can only be taken out to drink a little on big days.

The content of today's banquet is very simple. It is to celebrate the pregnancy of Empress Jiang. Most of the nobles are also very happy about it. The king has descendants, which means that they have the next object of allegiance, instead of worrying about their position.

If it's a boy, he's the eldest son of the king. Naturally, he just needs to stand up without any brains. He doesn't need to think too much, as long as the king doesn't want to be too virtuous or not.

As a result, the topic quickly changed from whether it was a boy or a girl to the matter of the heir and the establishment of an heir. Looking at the nobles who were discussing very enthusiastically, he gave Ji Kao a look. The latter was stunned for a moment, and then he understood King Shang the meaning of.

After brewing for a few minutes, this guy began to cry sadly. At such a happy banquet, a guy who was talking and laughing just now suddenly started crying, which naturally attracted other people to ask.

"Young Master Kao, why are you crying?" Elai asked curiously, patting Ji Kao's shoulder with his hand, his voice was very loud, so other nobles also looked over, and then the Lutai Hall became quiet , only the cry of Ji Kao remained.

"I think of my younger brother and father, hey~" Ji Kao sighed, then stopped talking, just weeping, and at this moment, Zishou laughed, "Ji Fa is repairing the pass to the west of Hangu, to reorganize the army." He There is no need to say too many unnecessary things, because it is not that other nobles have never done protons, even those who have never done protons have sent protons or received protons, and they can understand what this means when they hear it.

That means that Ji Fa didn't take Ji Kao's life seriously at all, and even forced him to die. Immediately, many aristocratic sons who had been protons felt sorry for him, and Zishou didn't need to persuade him. , No need to explain, just tell this matter plainly, and people will naturally feel sympathy.

The same thing, on what occasion and in what way it is said, has completely different effects and meanings, just like "repeated defeats and repeated defeats" are actually the same thing, but the people who are listening It's another matter in my heart.

Especially those who also have the eldest son as a hostage, or those who have been hostages themselves, feel pity and vigilance. In this way, the news that the quilt was detonated in advance and the news released by Xiqi at that time will be completely different.

If there is no drama like today, then when Ji releases the news, Modu will definitely be outraged and ask Ji Ji to take a test. At that time, Zi Shou will not be able to kill him. He still has a lot of protons here. Sometimes I'm afraid that not everyone in the world will be rebellious.

However, on this occasion, if it is revealed in this way, it is not that Xiqi rebelled against the contract and killed the proton in response, but that Xiqi Jifa murdered his own brother and killed someone with a knife. No one is willing to be used by others, especially It is these proud nobles.

At that time, Ji Kao will not be forced to kill, but the anger of the crowd will force Ji Kao to rebel. Ji Kao also understands this, but he really doesn't want to die, especially in this way.

If it was Ji Chang who asked him to die for the benefit of Cheng Zhou, he might think about it and die heroically, but if he was forced to die for Ji Fa to succeed him, that would be a different matter—— It seems that actively being a death squad and being tied up as cannon fodder are the same thing, and there are completely two concepts in the mind of the person involved.

"It's really unreasonable!" Fei Lian slapped the table, "Using less to force the elders has fooled me as a fool. Your Majesty, I ask Wang Jun to move it!"

"Senior minister!"

"Do you really think this old man is a three-year-old child? How dare you plot against this old man?"

"Your Majesty, my subjects are willing to be the vanguard to capture and kill this arrogant and rebellious person!" The nobles pleaded for orders one after another. After realizing that Ji Fa was using their swords to force Ji Kao to kill, all of them were furious—cooperating with the black pot I'll carry it, and you get the benefits?Do we know each other so well?Or are you really taking yourself for a fool?

"..." Zi Shou glanced at him. He didn't collude with this guy. He didn't expect such cooperation to stir up the atmosphere with a single sentence.

"No, Tongguan is dangerous. Attacking it by force will cause heavy casualties, so don't act rashly." Zi Shou lightly declined this matter. Now it's just that Fei Lian's head is hot, and other nobles are also emotional. Now that he allows it, there will be no more What good.

It is easy to send out troops, but once frustrated, it is not so easy to retreat. Besides, I don't have any professional mountain infantry troops suitable for this matter. Hangu Pass has not been repaired, and I don't have Hangu as a backup. I want to attack Tongguan is not easy.

"Your Majesty!"

"It doesn't have to be like this, even if he poisons me, I'm still...after all, my younger brother." Ji Kao, with the self-cultivation of an actor, acted like a dispirited elder brother, "My younger brother His talents are far greater than mine, and my father has no choice but to establish him."

Hearing this, Chong Bohu, who was just pure and emotional, suddenly became sober, didn't you fucking say it earlier?In his eyes, Ji Kao is already Cheng Zhou's difficult heir to deal with. Now you tell me that Ji Fa is stronger than you?

It’s not that he’s so easy to believe, but it’s the matter of growing up as a young generation. If Ji Fa isn’t really better than Ji Kao, Ji Chang isn’t really a fool. Even if he is a fool, it means Ji Fa There must be many bright spots. Compared with Ji Kao who was the proton in Modu, this Ji Fa is a greater threat to Chongguo!

"No, how can you do something that violates ethics when you replace the elders with the younger ones? Your Majesty?"

"It's still the same sentence, no, Master Wang must not move lightly. Besides, next year we still need to attack the Northland and deal with the matters attached to the Dongyi. The Dongyi people, with their left lapels and human faces and beast hearts, need to be suppressed by heavy troops!" It is also an objective reason. The nobles on the east side sat down silently, filled with righteous indignation, but their own lives were at stake.

"I also invite the king and Kao to guard him, Kao wants to..." Ji Kao choked up as he said that.

"No," Zi Shou said indifferently, and then walked away, leaving only Ji Kao sitting alone in the corner of the hall, attracting sympathetic looks from the other nobles.

Compassion for the weak is one of the empathy of human beings, not to mention thanks to Fei Lian's assist, it also provoked anger towards Cheng Zhouji. No one likes being fooled by others, even if it is a real fool, realize that Everyone will be furious after this incident, let alone these noble people?

So the nobles came to say goodbye to Ji Kao one after another, with pity and sympathy in their eyes.Conversely, this also made the nobles unconsciously regard Ji Kao as an incompetent "weak person", so they would definitely not object to the king of Shang's decision to let Bo Yi Kao go back to inherit Cheng Zhou in the future, nor would he help Bo Yi Kao became suspicious, and he would not force Ji Kao to kill because of Ji Fa's news.

The fire shape is strict, and many people are afraid and avoid it; the water type is cowardly, and many people drown to death. When they subconsciously regard Ji Kao as a weak person, they will not take more precautions, nor will they demand that the King of Shang must kill it.

On the contrary, Ji Fa successfully provoked the anger of all Shang nobles and became the character with a strict fire appearance. Therefore, everyone knows that he is a threat. Therefore, it is a good thing to avoid him more on the surface. Increased Ji Fa's prestige, and made those small Fang kingdoms surrender and vassalize him.

But it also caused great vigilance to his neighbors and the princes who stood in Ji Kao. He can force his own brother to be killed today, so what else is he afraid to kill?

And Zishou didn't agree right away, it was also to let the bullets fly for a while, so that when Shang's nobles really received the information that Ji Fa sent out on their own initiative, the anger that was temporarily suppressed by reason today would explode exponentially--they still had to deal with it today. It may be thought that Zishou did it on purpose, and there is still a fluke mentality, but when that day comes, the blood pressure may not be able to be suppressed.

And at this time, these nobles will also pass on Ji Kao's pitiful appearance today, which will become the high blood pressure of some nobles in the Zhou Dynasty. Cooperating with you big businessmen are good people, and I am a traitor without a king and a father, right?This is an emotional impact, which is not enough to be the driving force for their rebellion, but it will make their thinking actively tilt towards this aspect.

Afterwards, it is only necessary to give enough benefits of betrayal, then all the nobles in Chengzhou will be rebellious this time, so it depends on whether Ji Kao has the courage to give this benefit.

In the harem of Lutaiyuan, "Huh~" Zishou was soaked in hot water, and Cheng Zhou's poisonous pustules were finally about to enter the stage of squeezing out, so there shouldn't be a Conferred God War, right?After all, it was not a war between Shang and Zhou, but a civil war between Cheng and Zhou. Shang was the one who just made soy sauce and waved the flag behind him.

And when the time comes, if Tongguan and Hanguguan are locked together, the land of Jin will be in his pocket, and if he can fight against the world with one corner, will Cheng Zhou still be able to shake the sky?As for the time, when the Conferred Gods War is chosen, it has nothing to do with me. Anyway, other forces don't look like they can fight for me to destroy the country.

"However, I have to prepare to post the recruitment list, so I can recruit wild people and strangers for my own use." Zishou thought that there might be no cut-off teaching here, so he didn't have the lineup of ten thousand immortals, so he had to manually create the lineup of ten thousand immortals.

Except for the old aristocrats and old priests who have to be disposed of sooner or later like Shang, there are hardly many reliable magic weapons and matching aliens on hand. After all, things like magic weapons are really not something that can be used casually. I have tried it myself Few of the captured ones could be activated.

Either the method is wrong, or the compatibility is wrong, especially for artifacts of this level, maybe the other party wants the divine sense, but I don't have it at all-you ask, what is it that Zishou doesn't have?Still want to ask?Of course it is Germany!

Divine weapons, if a virtuous person lives there, then it is normal for Zishou not to be able to activate any divine weapons. He has everything, so he is immoral.
