Age of mythical princes

Chapter 444 Peace is over

Wei Guo
Ten years have passed since the Three Saints were sanctified, and the world has been at peace for more than 30 years.

However, the peace here refers to the overall peace. Although it looks calm on the surface, the undercurrent under the water never stops.Private assassinations, competition, and suppression among various countries have never stopped.

The big countries formed a technical alliance, exchanged what they had, and formed an economic alliance. While exchanging the materials they needed on a large scale, they also blocked and suppressed small countries. From time to time they went to small countries to carry out assassinations, and from time to time they bribed nobles and officials of small countries. This is a common thing.

The world has never been peaceful. It is just that many of the new generation and Baijia were born after 86 and were born in the most powerful country in the world like Yancheng, so they have the illusion that the world is peaceful.But an illusion is just an illusion, not the truth.

Over the past 30 years, the great powers have been working hard, and so has Weiguo.

Marquis Wei knew that Wei's goal was to defend the country.

Who put Wei and Wei next to each other? They were so close, and the feudal lords and minor princes in the middle had already been divided between Wei and Wei.

Today's Wei State, after completing negotiations with the small feudal lords and small princes, has instantly expanded its territory to [-] counties. Speaking of which, the Wei State opposite only has [-] counties. It seems that the two sides are almost the same.

Today, the Marquis of Wei received the news that the Wei State was mobilizing troops, and immediately called for the current ruler of the Wei State. The ruler looked like an elderly Confucian scholar, with a white beard two feet long, and his forehead was full of Wrinkles looks like an ordinary old man, holding a wooden stick in his hand and leaning on it when he walks.

This old man is very old and is known as Mei Gong.

Mei Gong and Kong Sheng were from the same era. He was a follower of Kong Sheng, a little fanboy, and one of the ancestors of Confucianism.When Baijia was more than 80 years old, he came to Weiguo, began to govern Weiguo, and began to carry out reforms in Weiguo.

Over the years, a large number of young Confucian students have come to Weiguo to carry out reforms and practice in Weiguo.

Duke Mei also respected the Marquis of Wei because the Marquis of Wei was willing to delegate power.

Therefore, although Marquis Wei was good at eating, drinking and having fun, even though Marquis Wei especially liked to play with women and eat delicious food, and even though Marquis Wei was extravagant, in Mei Gong's heart, Marquis Wei was a good monarch.

In Mei Gong's view, the most important thing to evaluate whether a monarch is a qualified monarch is his ability to govern the country. Personal morality is not actually important.

Just like Qi Huangong and the audience, Qi Huangong himself is a big bad guy who eats, drinks, whores, gambles and smokes, and is a complete fool.

But this foolish king has one advantage, that is, he delegates power to Guan Zhong and listens to Guan Zhong's words, so he becomes the overlord and a model of winning by lying down.However, success depends on Guan Zhong, and failure depends on Guan Zhong. After Guan Zhong died, Duke Huan of Qi could no longer do anything.In the end, there was even a tragedy where the corpses were left alone and the soldiers were fighting each other.

The same is true for the Marquis of Wei in front of me. Although Marquis Wei's personal ethics are not very good and do not meet the standards of a gentleman at all, Marquis Wei is willing to delegate power to himself as the ruler, and he manages the Wei Kingdom in an orderly manner. Therefore, later history books will evaluate him. Marquis Wei must be a wise king.

When Mei Gong was thinking like this, Wei Hou was also observing him.

Before Mei Gong came in, Wei Hou was lying on the beauty, and there were several beauties around him.Some are responsible for serving as pillows for Marquis Wei, some are responsible for pouring wine for Marquis Wei, some are responsible for dancing for Marquis Wei, some are responsible for playing and singing, and some are responsible for controlling magical instruments and adjusting the temperature, humidity, and spiritual energy content in the room. and a series of factors.

In short, with the gradual realization of Taoism into the concept of life, not only productivity has increased, but the level of luxury enjoyed by the nobles has also greatly increased.

In the past, the most noble nobles could do was kill tens of thousands of ducks or thousands of cows for one meal, and use a small part of each cow's favorite as a dish. This was already a very impressive and luxurious practice. .

But now, with the popularization of magical weapons, the level of luxury of nobles has suddenly risen to several floors. It is like riding a rocket. It is really something that only ordinary people can't imagine, and no nobles can do it.Poverty limits the imagination of ordinary people.

After Duke Mei came in, Marquis Wei sat up and said, "Sir, sit down and serve tea!"

Mei Gong sat down and took a sip of tea before waiting for Marquis Wei's order.

Marquis Wei handed over the collected information, and Duke Mei looked at the information. This was expected: "It seems that peace is finally coming to an end."

At this point, Mei Gong began to take stock of his family's assets for Marquis Wei, hoping to give Marquis Wei some more confidence.

After a look, only Wei Hou and Mei Gong were left around.

"Your Majesty, it has been more than 30 years since I came to Weiguo. Over the past 30 years, I have used Confucian magical powers and Taoism to reform Weiguo."

Confucianism is best at communicating between people and other living beings; Mohism is best at communicating about oneself, including communicating about one's own body, one's own spirit, and everything about oneself; Taoism is best at communicating various concepts, which is the so-called Tao or gods. .

Each of the three schools has its own strengths, but Confucianism does have many advantages in governing the country.

As long as you become an alchemist, you can communicate with several people, so that these people can be heart-to-heart and breathe the same fate.Warlocks can communicate with dozens of people, Taoist priests can easily communicate with hundreds, Taoist priests can communicate with thousands, and real people can communicate with tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.

It may seem like nothing, but anyone who has governed a country knows that when governing a country, the biggest problem in many cases is not that you cannot come up with good political orders, but that a good political order cannot be implemented at all and eventually turns into a bad one. Government decree.Sometimes, when the central government collects taxes, a common person will receive an additional ten cents a year, but when it comes to the local government, what the officials end up taking from the people is a hundred cents or more.

Government orders are not smooth and the top and bottom are not in one accord.

A village may have only a few hundred to a few thousand people, men, women, old and young.The village chief is an alchemist. He uses his magical power to obtain several deputy village chiefs who have a heart-to-heart connection with him, and each of these deputy village chiefs is responsible for one aspect.In this way, there will be no problems in the management of a village.

If a Confucian sorcerer becomes the village chief, he can use his magical powers to force the village chief below to have the same thoughts and will as himself!
A Confucian Taoist priest who serves as a county magistrate is a county magistrate who can ensure that every village chief listens to him and executes his will.Anyone who comes to such a county magistrate must give a thumbs up.

The people don't care whether the county magistrate uses magical powers on the village chiefs. As long as the people at the bottom live a good life, they won't care about these things.

Similarly, a Confucian Taoist priest can govern a county well.

After Mei Gong came to Weiguo, he first took his disciples and grandchildren to form a group and came to Weiguo. As soon as he came up, he served as the prefect of more than 80 counties.Then, Mei Gong began to write letters and call for friends. Finally, it took him five years to make the prefect of every county a Taoist priest.

After reaching this point, Mei Gong began to carry out drastic reforms.

Confucian alchemists serve as village chiefs, and one person convinces several deputy village chiefs who work together with him. This kind of control ability is enough to ensure that Mei Gong's decree can be clearly transmitted to every village.

With such administrative mobilization capabilities, you can successfully carry out reforms even if you are sitting in Mei Gong's position.

This is Mei Gong's truth, using Confucian magic to reason with you.

If you don't listen to the truth, then you can rely on my magical power!
After reading Magical Powers, you will understand my truth!

What Mr. Mei did was an eye-opener for many people. There were many who criticized Mr. Mei and many who learned from him.

In comprehensive governance, Mei Gong relied on his strong strength and strong ability to reason, successfully governed and defended the country, and successfully promoted reforms.

"In the past 30 years, all the materials we purchased from Yancheng have been discounted by [-]%."

"For more than 30 years, I have been thinking about what industry is most suitable for our country."

Hearing this, Marquis Wei seemed to have thought of something and sighed.

Mei Gong did not care about what the Marquis of Wei thought, but said directly: "We, the State of Wei, are bordering the State of Wei. Although the old minister has worked hard to reform, and even the old minister himself has become a real person because of the reform, the old minister must admit that we are not Wei. country’s rival.”

"Today, in the Wei Kingdom, there is only one great master, the old minister, but there are many real masters and first generations, dozens of them."

Since the creation of Qinglian became a saint, in just over 30 years, the first generation has appeared in piles.

Before the creation of Qinglian became a saint, the method of thunder tribulation had not been completely popularized.If you want to overcome the tribulation at that time, you have to build an altar, worship the Green Lotus of Creation, and then offer sacrifices, and finally you can overcome the tribulation.

After becoming a saint, there is no need for sacrifices or sacrifices. As long as you meet the conditions, you can directly overcome the tribulation.

By eliminating the intermediate steps, overcoming the tribulation becomes simple and clear.

Of course, the Heavenly Tribulation does not provide the minimum guarantee. If you fail to overcome the Tribulation, you may die directly. This is very common.

In the past, Creation Qinglian could at least guarantee that even if the tribulation failed, he would still be alive.

But even so, with the popularity of natural tribulations, many people who were not afraid of death went to survive the tribulations. Most of the people who were not afraid of death died, but those who survived made significant progress, and a large number of first generations were born!
"A large formation, with more than 30 first-generation people and more than 20 innate immortals. If you put this kind of strength 50 years ago, it would be a real big country and a powerful country in the world. If you put it 100 years ago, it would be comparable to Qi and Chu. , a superpower second only to Jin!"

"However, today, today, it can only be regarded as a middle power, a regional power, and the country's destiny is still beyond its control."

"We have become stronger, and Wei has become stronger. At this time, what industry should be suitable for us to defend our country?"

"Agriculture? This is not possible. Agriculture is the bottom line of Yancheng!"

Who doesn't know that agriculture is Yancheng's heart and soul. Yancheng may not care about other industries, but if it is agriculture, Yancheng can only suppress it openly.
