Whether it is improving farm tools, papermaking or movable type printing, as long as you have drawings and tutorials, there is no difficulty.
It only took half a month for the craftsmen to finish it, and the next step was mass production.
The next step is the key. They need to find a balance between farming and studying!
Compared with now, there cannot be too many fewer people farming. Otherwise, if there is a shortage of food, the consequences will be very serious!
At the same time, the number of scholars will increase significantly!
Otherwise, wouldn't it be in vain if they had been busy for so long?
Another point, their king is right, that is, the more scholars there are, the more political talents will emerge!
Then promote the development of Dashang’s national strength!
This is the focus of their next discussion.
……
The other side.
Xin Ruyin has also set off.
Along the way, she was extremely vigilant and flew cautiously into the chaos.
Months later, she finally reached the edge of chaos.
Looking at the chaotic energy with no end in sight, even though Xin Ruyin had been prepared for it, she was still hesitant now that things were coming.
After struggling for a long time, she gradually calmed down, activated the defensive formation she carried with her, and walked towards the chaos.
She prayed in her heart that this trip must go smoothly, but there must be no accidents!
In the chaos, the front, back, left, and right are all the same, with no direction at all.
If you don't have a goal, you will get lost quickly.
This is also one of the reasons why the Daluo Golden Immortals are unwilling to easily set foot in the chaotic world.
Fortunately, as soon as Xin Ruyin entered the chaos, she was guided somehow.
She immediately followed the guidance.
In the chaos, I couldn't feel the passage of time. I don't know how long it had passed, but Xin Ruyin finally arrived in front of Dachitian.
While saluting in the direction of Dachitian with a respectful look, she said respectfully: "Junior Xin Ruyin is the special envoy of Emperor Xin. I am here to ask the Supreme Saint to borrow the Kongtong Seal."
< br>
……
Within the Great Red Sky.
In the Eight Views Palace.
The Supreme Being, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon, suddenly opened his eyes.
His eyes penetrated the layers of barriers and landed on Xin Ruyin outside Dachitian.
After staring for a moment, he frowned and said to himself: "Strange, why can't I figure out her origin?
Did calamity cause chaos in heaven? Or are there other saints behind her? ”
The Supreme Being couldn't help but have various speculations in his mind.
After guessing, he was very confused about the Emperor's request to borrow the Kongtong Seal.
It's so good, why do you need to borrow the Kongtong Seal?
The Kongtong Seal is of great importance, as it can determine the fate of the human race. Under normal circumstances, he would not lend it out easily, not to mention that it is still a time of calamity.
As far as he knew, the current human emperor was almost exhausted. If he lent him the Kongtong Seal, it would be nothing more than causing trouble for his disciples!
So, after pondering, he decided not to borrow it.
So, he immediately gave Xuandu some instructions.
……
Outside the Great Red Sky.
Not long after Xin Ruyin finished speaking, a young man walked out of it and came to Xin Ruyin.
The young man's expression was indifferent, and there was an astonishing sense of oppression faintly on his body. Xin Ruyin was so frightened that she couldn't help but guess the identity of the other party.
This young man is naturally the Supreme Saint's only direct disciple, Master Xuandu.
After Xuandu saw Xin Ruyin, he immediately said in a calm voice: "The Kongtong Seal is of great importance and cannot be lent out easily. The current Human Emperor is not qualified to control the Kongtong Seal. Go back!"
After saying that, Xuandu turned around and returned to Dachitian without waiting for Xin Ruyin to respond.
Seeing the other party's attitude, Xin Ruyin knew that it was hopeless to borrow the Kongtong Seal this time, and it was hard to force him, so she immediately chose to leave.
Of course, the disappointment in her heart was inevitable.
After all, she had run so far in vain.
After sighing in her heart, she returned along the original path.
……
In the blink of an eye, it has been the fourth year of Emperor Xin's reign.
Three years have passed, and many major events have happened in the Shang Dynasty.
One: The imperial court improved agricultural tools for the people, which greatly improved the efficiency of farming!
Second: Dashang invented a new carrier for recording text - paper. Its cost is so low that even the common people can afford it!
Third: The imperial court invented movable type printing, which greatly reduced the cost of books! It has made many books popular and greatly increased the number of readers!
Fourth: The imperial court has successively opened one hundred schools in various places, and anyone who meets the age limit can study in the school.
Fifth: After entering the school, there will be two assessments every year. If you fail to meet the standards twice, you will be dismissed and go home to farm.
Sixth: Reform the army and promulgate a military merit system. Killing the enemy can change your destiny.
Seventh: Wen Zhong led his troops to attack the princes with evil intentions, and then returned to the court with his troops.
Eighth: Encourage commerce and promote trade.
Nine: Encourage childbirth. If you don’t give birth to a child, the court will give a certain amount of rewards.
No. 10: Establish an organization, the Black Bird Guard, which only takes orders from Emperor Xin. Its responsibilities include surveillance, intelligence, and assassination!
Part 11:……
In short, Di Xin has been extremely busy in the past three years.
In order to develop national strength, he has become exhausted mentally and has tried all kinds of measures!
Fortunately, he is now at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level. If he were still a mortal, he might have collapsed from exhaustion!
However, the good news is that it's all worth it!
These measures have achieved good results and are gradually moving towards Di Xin's expectations.
Some require long-term sustainable development, such as talent selection and population size.
And some effects are immediate, such as the improvement of productivity, the development of commerce, the atmosphere of the army, the establishment of the Black Bird Guard...
Speaking of which, Emperor Xin was inspired by Ao Yin when he promulgated the military merit system and established the Black Bird Guard.
Although Ao Yin said a few words, Di Xin thought of the benefits that these two measures could bring!
The former is foreshadowing the conquest of the world.
The latter is to prevent officials from becoming corrupt, unwilling to make progress, or even dragging their feet and becoming traitors during this large-scale reform!
Now that there are black bird guards, although Di Xin cannot clearly understand what the officials are doing, he can at least have a rough idea!
All the officials hated and feared the Xuanniaowei organization, but they were helpless and helpless.
All in all, everything is moving in a good direction.
……
In Di Xin's study.
While reading the memorial, Di Xin thought to himself: "Miss Xin has been away for three years, and I don't know when she will be able to return..."
He didn't know how far away the so-called chaos was from here, but he felt that with Xin Ruyin's cultivation level, no matter how far the distance was, three years should be about the same.
Then, Di Xin turned his hands and took out a large seal the size of a palm.
The material of this large seal is very rare jade.
It has been carefully crafted by master craftsmen.
The black bird, Dashang's totem, is carved on all sides. There are three big characters written below - "Seal of the Human Emperor"!
There is a mysterious stream of light rotating on the surface of the big seal.
The breath of mysterious birds lingers on it...
Di Xin played with the Human Emperor Seal and thought to himself: "Miss Xin, if you don't come back, this Human Emperor Seal will become a lucky treasure..."
The Emperor's Seal was carved three years ago.
Emperor Xin used Qi Yun to nourish him for three years.
It is transforming in the direction of Lingbao.
Di Xin predicts that in three or four years, it will truly transform into a spiritual treasure!
In the past three years, Di Xin has done so many things to promote the development of national power, and his power of luck has naturally improved!
With the blessing of these good fortunes, Di Xin's current strength is equivalent to that of the peak Taiyi Golden Immortal!
However, it is not that simple to break through to Da Luo.
Although it is only one step away, this step is like a chasm!
Emperor Xin guessed that if he could get the eight hundred princes to surrender completely, his luck would increase dramatically and he would be able to break through the Great Luo!
Nowadays, although the eight hundred princes are nominally under the control of Dachang, in fact they are independent in their own affairs. There are only a handful of people who can really listen to Emperor Xin.
They won’t listen unless it’s something that benefits them.
If there is no benefit, they will find various excuses.
Even most of the princes have the idea of replacing Di Xin!
They are just waiting for an opportunity!
There are only a handful of vassal states that really have Shang as their eldest brother!
More of a helpless choice!
Under such circumstances, the eight hundred vassal states could not provide much luck to Emperor Xin.
And if we can make them completely surrender and truly unify, then the power of luck will be much greater!
Therefore, reunification is a must!
Thinking of this, Di Xin began to think about his next plan.
……
The next day.
At the meeting.
Emperor Xin asked Wen Zhong: "Grand Master, pay more attention to the young people in the military camp to see if there are any talents that can be made useful in the future!"
Wen Zhong nodded in agreement when he heard the words.
After Di Xin pondered for a while, he asked again: "Grand Master, you once said that you worshiped the Jie Jiao. I heard that the Jie Jiao has the potential of thousands of immortals coming to worship. I wonder if the Grand Master can recommend some of your fellow disciples to come and serve me." Dashang works?
May I give them glory and wealth! ”
When Wen Zhong heard this, he immediately shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, most Qi practitioners don't like to be restrained, and all they want is to be free and at ease.
The so-called glory and wealth are like passing clouds to them, not worth mentioning.
Therefore, there is really nothing the veteran can do about it! ”
When Di Xin heard what Wen Zhong said, he immediately said with regret: "In that case, then I won't force myself."
Later, Di Xin said to Bigan: "Uncle, you must continue to urge the people to reclaim wasteland and increase food production as much as possible!
Gu will make a big move soon, and there can't be any problems with the logistics! ”
When Bigan heard this, he immediately smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, I have more than enough ambition but not enough power!
I have done more in these three years than in the previous ten years!
My body is almost exhausted.
The old minister feels that he doesn’t have many years left to live..."
When Di Xin heard Bigan's complaint, he immediately smiled and said: "My uncle's hard work over the years has been seen by Gu, but there are some things that Gu doesn't feel comfortable leaving to others!
Uncle, if you continue to persevere, when Gu's big things are accomplished, it won't be a problem for Gu to let you live another five hundred years!
In addition, uncle, if you feel that you are too busy, you can go to school and select some smart young people to be your assistants. This is also to cultivate reserve forces for Dashang! ”
When Bigan heard this, he smiled bitterly, shook his head, and then said: "Old minister, do your best!"
Finally, Di Xin set his sights on Shang Rong and said to him: "Shang Gong, domestic business development, economy and people's livelihood will be left to you!
Economic prosperity is also one of the fundamentals of the country! ”
Shang Rong nodded in agreement.
Seeing that he had almost finished talking, Di Xin immediately asked: "My dear friends, do you have anything else to report?"
After a few moments of silence, a figure walked out of the crowd, raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, you have been on the throne for three years. Although you have been busy with state affairs all day long, it is also a big thing to spread the branches and leaves of the royal family. Don't delay for a long time!
I beg your Majesty, for the sake of the royal family, to select a concubine to enter the palace to increase incense! ”
After hearing this, Emperor Xin looked at the minister who spoke calmly and asked: "What is your name?"
The man responded with an excited voice: "My name is Fei Zhong."
Di Xin said casually: "Fei Zhong, I'll leave this matter to you.
Remember, don’t rob or threaten!
If you do it well, you will be rewarded.
If it doesn’t work well, then you can come and see us! ”
Although Di Xin's voice was calm, it gave people an undeniable sense of oppression!
When Fei Zhong heard this, he felt nervous and quickly said yes.
He told himself that this was the key to his takeoff, and he must take it seriously!
The reason why Di Xin agreed to Fei Zhong's proposal was naturally not because he was greedy for beauty.
If he was really greedy for beauty, he wouldn't have delayed it for so long.
After all, this matter comes up every few months.
Di Xin was able to agree because he suddenly realized that maybe he really should have a few more children.
Otherwise, he may not be able to control the world he conquers in the future!
Let outsiders take care of it, but naturally he didn't let his son take care of it to reassure him.
At least that land will have the surname "Yin"!
……
As Di Xin's orders were gradually arranged, all the ministers were mobilized and performed their duties.
Dashang is undergoing an unprecedented transformation!
However, the surrounding vassal states are still ignorant about this and are still addicted to the thoughts and behaviors of the past.
And this is doomed that they will eventually be eliminated by the times!
……
There is a pass in Dashang territory called Chentangguan.
Li Jing of Chentangguan had three sons.
The eldest son Jin Zha, the second son Muzha, and the younger son Nezha.
The eldest son and second son won the favor of Li Jing. At a young age, they showed wisdom and talent far beyond their peers.
Li Jing had high hopes for them.
But the younger son Nezha has a naughty and mischievous personality, which makes Li Jing extremely unhappy.
Of course, the reason why Li Jing doesn't like Nezha is not only because of his character, but the most important reason is because of the weirdness of his birth!
Nezha was born with an egg, so Li Jing always thought he was a freak.
If Taiyi Zhenren hadn't appeared in time to stop Li Jing, Li Jing might have chopped Nezha into pieces!
But after Master Taiyi appeared, he directly accepted Nezha as his disciple.
And he was given the innate spiritual treasure Huntian Ling for self-defense!
It can be said that he loves him very much.
The reason why Taiyi Zhenren is like this is because he knows Nezha's footsteps.
Nezha is the reincarnation of the spiritual pearl in the palace of Nuwa Empress. He has extraordinary feet and is the perfect person to be the one to deal with the disaster on his behalf!
In the past, Yuanshi Tianzun told his disciples in Yuxu Palace that they could accept disciples so that the disciples could respond to the disaster on their behalf.
Over the years, the Twelve Golden Immortals have also been looking for suitable disciples.
Master Taiyi chose Nezha. (End of chapter)
