Chapter 276
Hong Huang, Di Xin looked at the memorial in front of him, wrote the approval without changing his face, and then put it on the pile of already corrected memorials beside him.

Today's Dashang, although the technology brought by Emperor Xin from another world has enabled Dashang to realize the four modernizations ahead of schedule, there are still many shortcomings in other aspects.

The law, education, and princes are all obstacles that stand in front of Yin Shang.

"Your Majesty, the preliminary population census has been completed. The human race currently has a population of about 3000 million, of which 930 million are Yin merchants, and the four major princes have about 700 million. The remaining six hundred princes have a total of 500 million, and the rest are slaves. , about 800 million."

Yin Nian, who was on the side, produced the results of the preliminary population statistics, and Jiang Ziya was also credited for this. It was thanks to the method he invented that the statistics could be completed so quickly.

With the emergence of various natural and man-made disasters, the number of human races has decreased. Even the [-] princes of the Yin and Shang dynasties now only have [-] left.

Part of it was destroyed by some big monsters, and the land was annexed by neighboring countries, and some of them were because "the princes and generals have kindness".

At the beginning, Di Xin sowed the seeds called general souls, and later spread martial arts, and these seeds also began to take root.

As the saying goes, armed with a murder weapon, the intention to kill is self-inflicted. These people have obtained the inheritance of the general soul, and they are pretentious at first. Afterwards, they learned martial arts and stretched their muscles and bones, and quickly distanced themselves from ordinary people.

Although Yin Shang and the four major vassal states are recruiting them, there are still some people who would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, or stay in their hometown because it is difficult to leave their homeland.

Smart princes will naturally recruit them and promise huge profits, but there are still some princes who are greedy and want to kill people and seize treasures. Some people succeed, and others naturally fail.

And those who fail will naturally be retaliated against.

Compared with the destruction of the vassal states in the evil disaster, more vassal states were destroyed by these people.

They killed the king, but they did not get the support of the nobles, and the people feared them, and the old vassal states were destroyed by them, and the new vassal states could not be born, and even the surrounding vassal states were occupying their land under the banner of revenge. and the people.

This is the reason why two hundred vassal states were destroyed in this short period of time.

Put aside the chaos of the vassal states, even if Di Xin is a king, he can't intervene in this matter at will. After all, these vassal states have not yet reached the point where the people complained, and the background of these vassal states is chasing after the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. Whose family's ancestors practiced in the Fire Cloud Palace, and it was not convenient for Di Xin to intervene.

Other than that, it's slavery.

To be honest, Di Xin was really shocked when he saw that the number of slaves actually accounted for a quarter of the entire Yin Shang population.

One quarter means that there is one slave for every three people, and considering that there are more than three people in a family, it can be said that almost everyone has slaves around them.

Even though Dixin has repeatedly passed laws and other measures to improve the treatment of slaves, the number of slaves is still huge.

One is the people who were displaced due to wars and evil disasters, and the other is the descendant of slaves. In this era that pays attention to blood inheritance, they are naturally slaves.

Some slaves even had their parents, grandparents and grandparents all slaves, and the person who was demoted to slavery at the beginning was his wife, wife and grandfather.

Di Xin, who has received a modern education, naturally knows the shortcomings of the slave system, so he has been preparing for institutional reforms, and now that the monsters are attracted by the Eastern Emperor Bell, and the saints gather in the sea of ​​blood, this is his opportunity to do it.

"Call Bigan, Shang Rong, Fei Zhong, and You Hun to discuss."

"promise."

The palace servants withdrew from the hall and went to deliver orders.

A wisp of sandalwood rose, and in the main hall, several important ministers of Yin and Shang came here, and most of them had some guesses in their hearts.

After all, most of Yin and Shang's government orders had to go through their hands. In the past, they had already noticed Di Xin's tendency. This time they summoned all the ministers to come, it should be to make a decision.

"My dear friends, today I have to introduce two people to you."

Di Xin said, and soon some palace servants brought the two of them to the main hall.

Shang Rong glanced at the two of them, his eyes swept over the slave marks on their faces, and asked, "Dare to ask Your Majesty, what abilities do these two have?"

Di Xin pointed to the two of them and said: "This person's name is Liang. Liang was degraded to a slave because a nobleman hurt people on the street in order to save them. numerous."

Liang Yiyan pulled back the sackcloth on his body, revealing the dense wounds on his body.

"The other person, named Tian, ​​has been slaves since his grandfather's grandfather. Dare I ask, what is the crime of the newborn, and why are the ancestors slaves for generations?"

Di Xin looked at the ministers under his command, and there was a look of thought on their faces.

"This is the ancestral system. Slaves are prisoners of war and criminals. They are extremely vicious. If we practice benevolence, where will the laws of soldiers be placed?"

As a habit, Shang Rong was the first to stand up to object, and what he said was indeed reasonable, and everyone kept nodding.

The system of the Yin and Shang Dynasties is the national system. Those who live in the city are Chinese, while the villages in various places belong to the savages. The savages are not protected by the law, and if there is a war, the savages will be the first to attack.

If they offend the nobles, these savages will be easily turned into slaves by the nobles.

In addition, the slaves of the Yin and Shang dynasties were common people who made mistakes, and foreign captives. In this era, even if they wanted to educate, they were incapable and could only be used as slaves. Life.

If slavery was abolished, savages who did not understand the law and alien races who had blood feuds with Yin and Shang would definitely riot. The Battle of Muye has already proved this point.

Pinning hope on these slaves will definitely result in failure.

And the nobles will not allow Di Xin to do this, because it will weaken their strength.

The promotion of outsiders before has affected the power of the nobles in the court, and fortunately Di Xin is the king who can suppress the dissatisfaction of these nobles, but if slaves are used now, these nobles may be alienated from Di Xin, and they will not betray, but Don't even think about them working hard for Di Xin again.

If only some slaves are promoted and their slave status is abolished, the nobles will not refuse, but if the entire slave system is abolished, then no, even if it is the emperor Di Xin, the nobles have to express their non-violent non-cooperation.

Di Xin naturally knew this too, his brows were slightly frowned, but they soon relaxed.

"Everything in the world is subject to change. Now our big business is changing with each passing day, and various technologies are used. It is difficult for the Chinese and savages to govern the big business. They want to establish new laws, implement new policies, and open a new dynasty!"
