Chapter 88: Three Years (1)

Chapter 88 Three Years (Part 1)

The deceased passed away like this, and in the blink of an eye, another three years have passed.

In the Linzi Palace of the Eastern Qi Dynasty.

Prime Minister Zou Xie breathed a sigh of relief after finishing the pile of papers, and reported the recent political affairs of Eastern Qi to Qi Marquis Yueji on the throne. Seeing Yueji's absent-minded look, Zou Xie said with a smile: "Your Majesty is missing that country again.

Master?"

King Yue Ji was told something that was on her mind. She lowered her head and said, "Prime Minister, please don't laugh at me. I really don't know what your Majesty is thinking. He insists on asking me to make that unknown person his national master.

Shang's national advisor..."

She suddenly thought that someone was teasing her with his status as "National Master" those nights, and he had a different taste for it, and her pretty face couldn't help but blush. Fortunately, Zou Qie was lowering his head and thinking about something, so he didn't see it.

"Your Majesty is a very human being. This move must have a profound meaning, which is beyond our wisdom." Zou Qie thought for a while and said seriously: "I think at the beginning, when your Majesty implemented the new policy in Eastern Qi, I thought our country would be like this.

It’s over, I tried hard to dissuade you, but His Majesty was still firm in his will, and unexpectedly it had such a miraculous effect!”

A look of admiration appeared on Yue Ji's face: "Yes, Your Majesty took an unprecedented initiative and established Dong Qi as a 'Special Economic Zone', vigorously developed the fishery and salt industry, and implemented land reform policies to release slaves as farmers and teach them to work in the fields.

.A few years ago, our tribe had difficulty in having enough food and clothing, but now we are actually rich and prosperous. It is like a dream. Even now, when I think about it, sometimes I still can’t believe it is true.”

Zou Qie felt the same way: "His Majesty promised to lead our clan out of poverty, and it has been realized in just three years. Everyone in our clan is sincerely grateful to the emperor, and even the unruly clan leaders are sincerely convinced. If our clan does not surrender to the great merchants,

I am afraid that there will be no such prosperous times for hundreds of years. Now it seems that joining the great merchants was the wisest decision. Now even many people from Donglu have fled to our country..."

Zhang Zixing's New Deal actually used the "special zone" Dong Qi as a test field for the feudal system.

Slavery society has too many disadvantages. Especially since its development, it has become the biggest obstacle to the further development of productivity. Inhuman life and cruel exploitation and abuse have made slaves hate forced labor. They have no choice but to resort to slow work, destruction of production tools, and abuse.

They resisted by raising livestock and other methods, and many boldly chose to flee directly. Many bankrupt civilians and small producers would rather live on charity than work for slave owners... And the "New Deal" implemented by Zhang Zixing in Dong Qi

"The slaves who have suffered for many years finally see the light.

The main content of the New Deal is to divide the Dongyi land, most of which is owned by the state, and a small part is owned by the chiefs of each ethnic group. At the same time, the slaves of each ethnic group are released from slavery, turned into farmers, and given land. The condition is that the slaves must

If the specified production tasks are completed within one year, as long as they can complete them, they will be freed immediately. If they are unable or unwilling to complete them, they can become private domestic slaves of the clan leaders.

In order to further increase the enthusiasm of the clan chiefs and slaves, among Zhang Zixing's measures, freed farmers can use the land given to them to cultivate and work. 20% of their labor income will be turned over to the original clan chief, 20% will be turned over to the national tax, and the remaining 60% will be returned to the family.

Farmers own the land. The farmers' occupation of the land is not permanent, but is temporary for thirty years. As long as the specified annual harvest tasks can be completed, this period of ownership can be increased every year to benefit future generations; if it cannot be completed due to sabotage or laziness, it will be reduced.

The period of possession and even the land resumption will be calculated separately if there is a bad harvest due to natural disasters or man-made disasters.

In addition to the harvest of their own private fields, each clan chief also enjoys 20% of the farmers' harvest. There is also a time limit for the number of years they can enjoy the land and treatment, which is fifty years. If these clan chiefs who are slave owners can keep their own laws and abide by

If the government decrees issued by the state prohibit the private exploitation of farmers or the occupation of farmers' land, then this authority can also be increased every year, and the state will also provide an additional reward every year. If there are special merits or military exploits, the number of years will be increased and the reward will be greater.

On the contrary, if you make a mistake, the period of enjoying the extra harvest and the land area will be deducted. If it is a felony, all the land will be confiscated when the crime is punished.

To put it simply, as long as you obey me, you can basically enjoy these privileges forever. If you don't, you will get nothing.

For the slave owners who had enslaved their tribesmen for many years, the New Deal undoubtedly confiscated their largest private property - slaves and land. Naturally, it was met with great resistance when it was first implemented two years ago, but Dong Qi was considered a defeated country.

, in addition, Yue Ji and Zou Xie used Dashang's garrison to firmly control the domestic situation, and also established a strict supervision mechanism. If any violation was committed, serious crimes would be punished.

After killing several of the most rebellious examples, the patriarchs had no choice but to surrender in order to save their lives. However, the economic benefits gained from this surrender were astonishing. With the power of freedom and land, the slaves' enthusiasm for production was unprecedented.

Even the old, weak, sick and disabled were no exception. In addition, Zhang Zixing adopted the historical Jiang Ziya's strategy of "reforming government according to customs, simplifying etiquette, promoting commerce and industry, and benefiting from fishing and salt", which made Eastern Qi develop rapidly.

The prototype of a prosperous country gradually took shape. You Hun, the "red-top businessman" who was instructed by Zhang Zixing, also showed his talents in Dong Qi. The living standards of Dong Qi have been greatly improved. While the patriarchs are living a luxurious life that they could only dream of before,

They also understand the benefits of the New Deal. They can continue to live such a happy life as long as they keep their peace. A few people have to curb their ambitions and hatred under the control of force.

"This husband is good at everything, even if he comes and goes in a hurry, the same goes for the four sisters. He only stays for a few days at a time and then goes back to Chaoge... Maybe next time I might just make some trouble for him in the country, or maybe...

If you lied that the Prime Minister is critically ill, he should come to stay with me for a while..."

King Yue Ji's soft murmur failed to hide from Zou Xie, who had recovered all his power. The Prime Minister of Dong Qi, who had retreated to the palace gate, had a spasm of facial muscles and shook his head with a wry smile.

Sanxian Island.

The three empresses were sitting in front of the cave, with the strange masks no longer on their faces. In front of them was a pink and jade-carved child, about six or seven years old, who was none other than Nezha.

Bixiao looked at this cute little apprentice with a smile and said: "My dear disciple, this time you came back from Chaoge. I wonder what weird things your lustful Master Tianzi taught you this time?"

Nezha curled his lips and said disapprovingly: "Why did the fourth master say that the master is lustful again? The master once said that lust is the true nature of a man. It is better to be a true villain than to be a hypocrite. Those who are sanctimonious on the surface but dirty behind the scenes.

It is the unworthy ones who are the most despised."

Qiong Xiao frowned and said, "What the emperor said is not entirely unreasonable. People of my generation should be free and easy-going, but Nezha is less than seven years old. Is it too early to teach him this?"

"This is called... that early education!" Bixiao shook his head and said with a smile: "Fortunately, Nezha only stays in Chaoge for two months at a time, otherwise he would have been taught to be a little pervert by that guy."

The eldest sister Yunxiao showed a strange expression: "Sister, I don't think Nezha is okay. Your words are invisibly affected by the Son of Heaven. It is an early education and a pervert..."

"I just copy what Nezha said because it was interesting," Bixiao imitated Nezha and curled her lips. She found that she liked this action a little bit. She turned to look at Nezha and flew lightly.

He came out and said: "My good disciple, what real skills did you learn in Chaoge this time? Come, let Master test you, and use all you have learned, don't hold anything back!"

"Yes! Fourth Master." Nezha followed the words and walked out to confront Bixiao. He took out a golden spear from his magic bag and assumed an attack stance. Suddenly, Nezha's eyes were fixed in the sky behind Bixiao.

, as if there is something strange.

Bixiao was very surprised and thought there was something strange. He followed Nezha's gaze and looked back, but found nothing. Suddenly, Qiongxiao's voice came to his ears: "Sister, be careful!"

Just when Bixiao was distracted, Nezha had spared no effort to launch a violent attack. In a moment, he threw out all the magic weapons that Sanxiao passed to him, and there were also a few small balls that Sanxiao had thrown.

It's something I've never seen before, but it's so powerful that it actually explodes and even the hard rocks on the ground are exploded.

After the smoke cleared, Bixiao's figure appeared high in the sky, holding several magic weapons thrown by Nezha in his hands. Although he was safe and sound, he looked disgraced and embarrassed.

Bixiao floated down to the ground, raised his willow eyebrows, threw everything away, and pinched Nezha's pink face: "You little Nezha, how dare you sneak up on me and even throw away the red flame spear?"

It’s out! If my sister hadn’t reminded me, I would have been hurt by you.”

Nezha was in pain, but he didn't dare to resist. He said with a bitter look on his face: "Fourth Master, you yourself said that I should do my best..."

"Did you learn this rogue sneak attack this time in Chaoge?" Bixiao let go of his hand angrily, looking at the red mark on Nezha's face, he couldn't help but pinch the other side of his face,

I tried to pursue balance, and it felt really good in my hand, and most of my anger was gone.

"The Master taught me that when facing an enemy, you should not take it lightly. You must go all out as soon as you come up." Nezha was afraid that Bixiao would pinch him again, so he quickly covered his cheeks with his hands, "The Master said, many people think they have

Taoists are too playful when facing the enemy. They obviously have powerful magic weapons, but they hide them without using them at the beginning. They even use a long sword to fight with others in a pretentious manner. If they are really defeated, they use it again.

It is extremely stupid to use magic weapons to save face. If you face such an enemy, even if you are weaker than the opponent, as long as you have a proper strategy, you can still defeat the enemy..."

After listening to Zhang Zixing's "Advanced Combat Concept" relayed by Nezha, Sanxiao looked at each other with surprise on his face. Today's monks do have this unwritten "bad" habit when fighting.

And the most powerful things are always reserved for the last. If you follow Nezha's example and attack with all your strength from the beginning while the opponent is unprepared, then the opponent may not even have time to take out the powerful magic weapon and be destroyed.

"This is too despicable." Bixiao wanted to take advantage of the situation and twist Nezha's little face again, but seeing that he was protecting him tightly, he had no choice but to hit him on the top of the head.

Yunxiao pondered for a while and sighed: "If it were just an ordinary sparring match, how could you have such worries when you are really fighting against your opponent? Although your Majesty is a bit of a rogue, he can see the subtleties and do things that no one else can. I really admire him.

From now on, we must be cautious when facing the enemy, and if necessary, we can be the first to win with this strategy."

Qiongxiao and Bixiao nodded thoughtfully. After this incident, Sanxiao's curiosity and admiration for the emperor increased even more. Qiongxiao asked casually: "Disciple, your great master also said

What happened?"

"No more..." Nezha suddenly thought of something and looked a little unnatural.

What kind of person is Sanxiao? He immediately discovered his abnormality. Bixiao was the most impatient, so naturally he was the first to attack: "My little disciple, did you learn any bad habits from that guy? He should have given you the exploding ball.

Attack me sneakily!"

Nezha was most afraid of this fourth master who was always sulking, so he lowered his hands and covered his cheeks tightly, nodded, and shook his head desperately.

Yunxiao smiled nonchalantly and said: "Sister, don't get angry. Although His Majesty is informal, he is a careful person, especially protecting his shortcomings. He will never seriously teach Nezha to bad things. The little ball-like magic weapon just now has no power at all.

The fluctuation has the power to explode rocks. It is really rare. It must be a protective treasure he gave to Nezha. What does it have to do with sneak attacks on you? You should calm down and pass on the last three changes of the Shangqing Immortal Technique to Nezha.

stop."

Bixiao was most convinced by this sister, and immediately put away her playful expression and nodded in agreement.

Nezha breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and subconsciously touched the magic bag, which contained a good thing given to him by the Master, a magic weapon that can capture all images: a smart digital camera! At the same time, he has been focusing on something.

The unwilling "Master" also gave this young apprentice an extremely "most important" secret task, which was to find an opportunity to use a camera to secretly capture the true faces of the three masters and empresses without masks...
