My brother is so stable

Li Changshou went to touch the jug with a smile, but Wen Zhong was quick-sighted, and picked up the jug first, pouring wine for Li Changshou first.

"What is the prince asking for?"

"The army killed the victorious general before, and the generals wanted to go back to Chaoge City to file a complaint."

Zishou laughed at himself, revealing a bit of helplessness.

"My father ordered Su to lead the army, and Su had already stated the rules, ordering them not to take civilians as prisoners.

There are still some generals who take off the military uniforms of the dead enemy soldiers and put them on the young and strong bodies of the civilians, so as to pass the test in a foolish way.

He was killed to warn the hundred, so he drew his sword and killed the general.

However, if this matter goes back to Chaoge City and makes a big fuss, I am afraid that Shou will be quite passive, and the generals in the army and the family of military generals will probably attack Shou. "

Li Changshou thought for a while, and asked, "The rule about not taking civilians as captives was drawn up by the young master?"

Wen Zhong sighed: "That's right, it's indeed a disciple, cough, I drew it up."

disciple?

Aside from thinking about it.

It was also heard that Zhong continued: "Too many slaves is already a chronic disease of the merchants, and the foundations of the building are already floating.

Although there are fewer wars in the Shang Kingdom nowadays, and the slaves obtained through plundering are far inferior to those accumulated over the years, this is the first step that can be taken now.

Only by rejecting the style of plundering prisoners of war as slaves first, maybe those slaves who were originally captured by their ancestors can be restored to the status of normal civilians.

In this way, the Shang country can be young and strong, its soldiers and horses can be strong, and there will be a steady stream of talents available for various activities, and the country's strength will leap forward, just around the corner! "

"and then?"

Li Changshou asked with a smile.

Wen Zhong pondered a few times, and said again: "Are you asking?"

"Don't talk about other things, just talk about the country itself."

"Then, the Shang Kingdom can extend its national destiny and last for a long time..."

Li Changshou looked at Zishou and said with a smile, "The prince thinks so too?"

Zishou's eyes were full of light, and he said in a firm voice: "Young master's words, Zishou's ambition!"

Li Changshou sighed slowly: "Let's toast and drink together, and talk while drinking."

The three of them toasted and drank together, and after they drank the wine in one gulp, Li Changshou closed his eyes and put his hands in his sleeves, as if he had fallen asleep.

He was thinking, should he call 'King Zhou' tonight...

Although Li Changshou knew in his heart that even if he made a move to instruct Zi Shou, Zi Shou would not be able to resist the restraining power of the Dao of Heaven; but when a certain possibility was in front of him, Li Changshou still wanted to try it.

The point is, if you step back ten thousand steps, this matter will not have any negative impact on yourself.

And from another perspective, there are not many opportunities for me to influence 'Di Xin', and now 'Di Xin' is still a 'Prince Zi Shou', and the plasticity is still there.

"You are wrong."

"Wrong?" Wen Zhong was a little puzzled.

Zishou hurriedly said, "Could it be that there are other methods of rejuvenation in our Shang country?"

Li Changshou sighed: "The young master's words are reasonable, but his actions are too reckless. The prince must have studied the history of Shang, so you know why the power of Shang is gradually losing money?"

Zishou said:

"Zi Shou thinks about this kind of question every day for four reasons.

One is that before the ancestor Wencheng established the method of passing on the throne to the eldest son, there were often bloody battles for the throne, and the internal friction of the national power was too serious.

Second, the aristocratic families are becoming more and more stable, most of them don't think about making progress, they only think about enjoying themselves, and there are many people in the world.

The third is that there are too many slaves, which has become a hidden danger. The merchants are impetuous, and the wind of pleasure and extravagance is almost hopeless, and they gradually have no available talents.

The fourth lies in the princes.

During the civil strife among our merchants, the eight hundred princes cultivated their livelihoods, and many of them were ambitious.

Jiang Shi, who is about to get married with Shou, is Dong Bohou's daughter. I haven't met her yet, so I don't know the details. I have only seen portraits, but she will definitely become my queen.

This is the firm strategy of the father. "

Li Changshou put a piece of beef in his mouth, and said with a smile: "Prince, let's do a deduction.

If this time, you have the support of the king, and the killing of the general in the army becomes the beginning of your reform of internal governance, what will happen next?

Wen Zhong also thought about it together. "

So Wen Zhong and Zi Shou thought about it separately.

After all, Wen Zhong is a Qi refiner, he has lived for a long time, has seen a lot, and considers problems more comprehensively. He soon realized the seriousness of the problem, and his brows became a frown.

Zishou was still a little more angry, after thinking for a while, he said:

"There will be many veterans who oppose it."

Wen Zhong answered quickly: "Not only that, this matter involves more than just families of generals.

To solve the slave matter, it will inevitably touch all the current princes, nobles, families, and even the common people.

All the slaves need is a ration, but they can plow the fields, dig canals, and serve as servants in the family. They are born like this, and most of them have never thought of rebelling.

If we shoot directly... Hiss!

I'm afraid it will be a shocking change. "

Zishou said, "Is what the young master said a little too exaggerated?"

"Prince, I took it for granted before and didn't think carefully," Wen Zhong said with a gloomy face, "The matter of slaves must be dealt with later and with authority.

The matter of killing generals in the army this time must be covered up.

As we discussed before, it is absolutely unacceptable to argue about the harm of slaves to the country above the court! "

Li Changshou nodded with a smile.

Zishou showed anger, and said in a steady voice: "Why are you afraid of it? You should argue it!"
