Is this a godsend?

This is also the reason why Dashang Tiantian and Dongyi have trouble getting along, because Dongyi produces bronze raw materials and salt, and also has bronze casting technology. To put it bluntly, in Zishou's view, the reason why Dashang is the co-lord of the world is because He has the de facto coinage right of this era, but Dongyi has the raw materials and salt linked to this currency.

Just like the meaning of the Middle East to the oil-linked dollar. Therefore, the merchants hammer Dongyi, just like the United States hammers the Middle East. It must be hammered. Even if you are beaten until you have only one breath left!

In addition to bronze wares, the jade materials produced by Dongyi will also be carved by skilled jade craftsmen in Modu into various jade plates, jade horizontals, even jade handles, jade cups and other jade wares, which are exported to various places. very big.

Jade, bronze, copper, gold, lacquerware, pottery, etc. were the main products of merchants at this time. They were really not very good at farming. In comparison, Zhou people and Chu people were better at farming than merchants. land.

But it is also because merchants are actually considered industrial countries in this era, relying on industrial output to play scissors to buy agricultural products, therefore, merchants' attitudes towards farming and food are much more rash, and this is also the root of merchants' drinking habits-food comes easily, but don't care much.

In a sense, the decline and collapse of the merchant alliance is also related to this economic model. The production of industrial products requires a huge number of slaves, while food and light industrial products rely on external imports, which is a bit like the Soviet Union. Once a corn head appears That's great fun.

And now Zishou found out that if he hadn't time-traveled, then Di Xin would probably be the corn head, the corn head without the nuclear bomb, and the disintegration speed is so fast, it's not surprising that he died in a day.

However, it is different now, because Zishou's forced agricultural reform has led to a slight increase in output. Although it is still not as good as industrial harvesting, it is still a little better than farming hard in the past. In addition, the new "Zhiguan" The production of dried mushrooms and umami mushroom powder has increased rapidly in foreign trade.

And here comes the question, how did the two idiots, Di Yi and Di Xin, hold the power that in later generations they can beat anyone they want and can't take care of themselves, but they are still playing crude and inefficient wars of conquest?

Zishou can only be attributed to the limitations of the vision of the ancients.

"From today onwards, sell rattan armor, bronze weapons, pottery, and dried mushrooms in large quantities to Chu, and ask them to exchange them with mud." There are many mountains and swamps in Chu, and there is plenty of swamp mud, and these mud can be produced into mushrooms by Zishou Do it, use it to feed your own people.

"Your Majesty?" Not to mention the subordinates, even Jiang Hou and Su Bing looked at Zi Shou with terrified eyes. Isn't the king's madness even more serious?Use these real money to buy mud?

"I use the things produced on my territory to exchange the mud for growing mushrooms," Zi Shou explained.

Because Zhizhi cultivates very delicious mushrooms, which can enhance the flavor after drying, mushroom powder has become popular in Modu at the moment, and merchants (true merchants) from all over the country will exchange the goods they bring.

For those savages who are reluctant to sprinkle salt on barbecue, when have they seen this kind of thing?Even Dongyi, who has a deep hatred and hatred, repeatedly provokes troubles at the border and sends people over to exchange salt for mushroom powder.

Therefore, when Zishou said that mushrooms are grown in mud, everyone understood, "It's just that, my lord, we build rivers and there is so much mud, why don't we use our own ones and have to go to Chu and Yong to buy them?"

Zishou looked at these idiots with the eyes of a fool, and the latter responded with the eyes of a lunatic. How could these idiots understand the wisdom of Guan Zhong hundreds of years later?

"Because we need mud to fertilize the field, I also want mushrooms, food, and I want them all. Do you have any opinions?" Zishou felt that explaining the economic war to them might as well be a little rough, and made a gesture of "I want everything".

"Uh, no, it's just the king, how much is suitable?"

"One cart of mud for one cart of dried mushrooms or a small bronze utensil." Zishou picked up a small bronze utensil on the table and gestured.

"When they have almost replaced it, replace two trucks of mud with one truck." By analogy, Chu people must do it. It's not that they don't produce mushrooms there, but most of them are difficult to distinguish whether they are poisonous or not, and the key is that their Mushrooms are not as delicious as Zishou.

And then again, digging mud for food is equivalent to digging soil for food, tools and luxury goods, so they must do it, not only do they do it, but they will exchange more tools instead of weapons for better digging, In order to move soil better and faster, and to ensure profit margins, their craftsmen will make more transport vehicles instead of chariots.

Their livestock will be used for digging and transporting soil instead of plowing the fields. Although agriculture will not be completely abandoned, for the nobles who own cattle and horses, they don't care how the serfs die in the fields at all, they only care about themselves Are there delicious meals and fine bronzes.

It is not necessary for the entire Chu land to be fanatical, only a small group of Chu lands are required to be fanatical.

"Afterwards, I allowed them to exchange vines and honey with slaves and fragrant wood from the south." Zishou is already considering the feasibility of artificial beekeeping, especially since there is a guy who can bloom flowers all year round, and honey is even more important Products of.

"Then these barbarians will take the initiative to help us fight other barbarians, and the dead are barbarians anyway."

And not only that, they also destroyed their own wetland silt, resulting in a decline in agricultural production, and at this time, the Chamber of Commerce sold food to them appropriately.

As for food, just use these commodities and fragrant wood to buy from the Western Zhou Dynasty. He has mastered the commercial roads of the world, and it is still a transportation hub in the place of the Fourth World War. If it is not used, it is really a loss.

then huh?Then when Zishou was ready to expand southward, the trade would stop.

Just like how Guan Zhong used white deerskin to punish people, he used mushroom powder and jade articles to punish people. I don’t believe that people in this era can still have the experience of experiencing economic crisis and tulip bubble. There are more people killed without seeing blood than the army.

But after a few hundred years, it will be more difficult to use this method to punish people, because as long as you are a civilized person, everyone has read "Guanzi" and "Spring and Autumn", and knows how Guan Zhong manipulates people so that they can't take care of themselves. Therefore, the success rate will be greatly reduced.

And people of this era?That would only make King Shang go mad again. Has he been going mad for a day or two?

No, then what is there to doubt?

As for whether it was the king of Shang who was going mad, or the tribal chiefs in Chu, it was hard to say.

"By the way, Shuqi, do a job. Go get in touch with the barbarians around Chengzhou, and allow them to buy weapons and dried mushrooms from big merchants, and exchange them with Chengzhou's wood and leather goods. Of course, the people of Chengzhou also Okay." Zi Shou thought for a while.

"When redeeming people, don't say what we did, just say that we couldn't bear to see the Zhou people captured. The Zhou people are the country of the king's in-laws. We, the big merchants, bought them back with money, and then...then let them go. go back."

"Your Majesty, why do we do this? Zhou people don't have tribute girls, and even tribute girls are not queens. Even if they are queens, there is no need for us to help them." Shuqi tried hard to persuade, in the eyes of people of this era , Zishou, this is his mother burning money, how beautiful is that Zhou girl?Before entering the palace, it began to harm the country and the people.

But Zishou can only tell him that it is enough not to talk too much and do things, and Cheng Zhou will cry and be grateful (Is it the kind of gratitude on Thanksgiving?.jpg).

In the end, it was useless for him to use the example of Huang Diwu's relatives, so he could only call him into the palace, and spent a whole day explaining to him what it means to kill with a borrowed knife in a way that this guy's intelligence can understand , What is killing and punishing one's heart, what is extreme pressure, and what is forced to stand in line.

Then finally, Shu Qi realized it, and soon, all the great nobles in Modu knew about this plan, but it took several days according to their intelligence and understanding.

Of course, they didn't plan to remind the people of Zhou, nor did they plan to chat with relatives of the people of Zhou. , really worthy of his "widow".

This cannot be called a "widow" (a person with widowed virtue), then no one can call himself a "widow".

Although the businessman understood it, the Zhou people couldn't understand it, especially the Zhou people's envoy in Modu couldn't understand it at all. In order to reassure him, Zishou brought the three sisters, White Fox, Jiang Hou, Zhong and Vegetable Man, to the stage, and even spent a lot of money in later generations. She was very thoughtful, and dressed up everyone, with skirts and clothes made of Joan's petals-although it will be broken in one day, it can be used as a temporary bluff.

Zishou explained the little confusion in Zhou people's big eyes in this way: "Naturally, it's because of the widow's illness."

"Ah!? Your Majesty is sick!" Zhou people didn't respond, and the other nobles were startled. Although everyone knew that the Majesty must be seriously ill, it would be too easy for him to admit it so directly?

"I'm lustful!" Zi Lili said bluntly, anyway, lust is not a serious disease in this era.

Even as a Shang king, he is not lustful and does not have many offspring, just like Di Xin, having two children and one wife is not worthy.

What's more, in this era, there is no entertainment or enjoyment. If you don't want to be a good-looking dog or a womanizer, Zishou feels that it is better to find a knife and kill yourself early.

In this kind of environment, people always find some spiritual sustenance, and his sustenance is quite normal, but as a modern person, he has received too much impact from ancient times, which has caused his spirit to be somewhat distorted.

Okay, let’s not talk about Zhou people now, even the businessman began to wonder if the sinister and vicious idea a few days ago was thought up by the king, maybe it was that guy Shuqi, and then he used the help of the king to send it out from time to time. The reason for the epilepsy spread, so that he would not be blamed.

Because Zi Shou once again proved to everyone that he was indeed mentally ill, and even the Zhou people believed that he had a serious brain illness rather than any conspiracy, so the Zhou people had no doubts.

The people of Zhou had no doubts, and the princes of the four fields had a lot of questions. However, facing a benevolent, righteous, propriety, wise and trustworthy man, he was a king of Shang who never touched a single word. Even Yousu, who seemed to have suffered the most damage, was embarrassed to ask.

It proves once again that Jiang Wen is probably really a world intangible heritage. When Zishou became a person who is benevolent, righteous, propriety, wisdom and trustworthy, no one pointed a gun at him. I have created Ji Chang who is a generous elder and a benevolent king.

People don't care about lunatics, especially lunatic Wu, who still goes crazy from time to time. It seems that lunatic Wu cares about himself and others, but a good old man who is usually timely and rainy is different.

The story of Sheng Mi En and Dou Mi Chou has not yet been heard. What they don't know is that once the Zhou people are captured and the merchant pays for the redemption, they will immediately forget the past oppression and oppression of the Zhou people by the merchants. Ji Chang is good, he will only remember that Ji Chang did not send troops immediately and did not redeem them.

What if Ji Chang sent troops?Those who fought were barbarians, and those who suffered were Xiqi's soldiers, so what does it matter to me, Dashang?

What if Ji Chang redeems them?The barbarian took Xiqi's money and food. They asked for jade, gourmet food, and fine wine, but they went to big merchants to buy them. In the end, Xiqi's money and food came into Zishou's hands.

So, with such a well-developed business way in hand, and still mixed up like this, Di Yi is really a brain sick, although the businessmen at that time may have different opinions on the question of who Di Yi or Di Xin has a brain. Otherwise, his Japanese name would not be Xin.

In the dead of night, when Zishou was rubbing the fox ears of Beast Ear Niang with his left hand, and feeling Jiang Hou’s abdominal muscles with his right hand, he would sometimes ask himself, is it a bit unethical for me to be able to squeeze a sheep from Xiqi?

But after thinking about it, I am already the king of Zhou. I am already a person with no way, and I am still a widow, a person with little virtue, a person who has no way or virtue. Why should I feel that I am immoral? It seems that I still have no conscience. Obliterate.

After thinking about it, Zishou decided to step up efforts in the future. Tomorrow, he will go to the Mengjin area to patrol the soil, and then supervise the construction of Lutai. He said to the outside world that it is a city specially built by the big merchants to welcome Zhou women. Look, Shang will give you Zhou This face, this arrangement is in place, right?

What face do you Ji Chang have to refuse or procrastinate?When the time comes, the army will overwhelm the border, send some of your own sons to the altar, then take your daughter home to have a baby, and then give your own country to your own sons, those princes of the four wilds, who can say that my son is unruly? ?

What's more, you, Ji Chang, have always been a good person who emphasizes etiquette and rules. Now that I, Dashang, have given you enough courtesy, even far surpassing the courtesy you should have, it's your turn, Ji Chang, to show it.

And Zishou made the netizen sailors of the later generations make a fuss, fearing that the world would not be chaotic, and saw that the funeral technology was not too big, and he put Ji Chang on the iron furnace to bake in all directions. His main national strategy is to make Cheng Zhou Gong angry, and to tell the truth about Ji Chang's marriage to his daughter.

Then let Jichang or Xiqi become the second stove to roast Erwuzai and the princes of Chengzhou on the fire, combined with the businessman's redemption of Zhou people, as long as Jichang doesn't respond at all, soon, Chengzhou The vassals will become loyal ministers of the great merchants.

why not?The matter of Zhou's daughter shows that the in-laws of the two countries relieved their psychological burden; in fact, the kindness and courtship eliminated their hatred for businessmen, and at the same time transferred it to hatred for Uncle Zhou. Cheng Zhou was not monolithic.

There are always nobles who can't do it. When the time comes to redeem people, they can provoke them casually, such as receiving Modu, rewarding them with some valuable things, and putting them back.

Except for a very small number of hard-core loyal ministers, the rest have to be shaken if they don't want to be shaken. After all, the things of the big merchants are really precious and exquisite. Therefore, the princes of Chengzhou changed from being on the opposite side to being in the middle.

In the end, Cheng Zhou must have had an adopted son who was very frustrated. He had a hundred sons, and Ji Chang, even a superman, couldn’t take care of everything. What’s more, the production conditions of this era simply don’t support raising a hundred sons like a real prince. .

Not to mention the Shang and Zhou dynasties, even in the Ming Dynasty, there was no difference between a concubine and a domestic slave, let alone a righteous son, you only need to come up with some real money at that time, and you may not be afraid of "Half life wandering without meeting the Ming Lord, if you don't give up... ..." people.

As a businessman, you should use money to fight economic warfare, and use money and food to kill the poor in Chengzhou. Of course, this is a guaranteed plan, because it is easy to cause Chengzhou to split, and Zishou will be bald in that case.

It is in his best interest to be in chaos without division, decline without collapse, but this approach is too advanced, and it is reckoned that future generations will definitely give him an ugly posthumous title.

However, he thinks that posthumous titles are for future generations to listen to. If the future generations are promising, whoever uses the ugly posthumous title will have a whole family in order. The history of the Ming Dynasty will understand.

A widow:

A widow, also known as a widow, is what the monarch calls himself to show humility.It originated from the Shang Ming prince Shou, who was called a person who received virtue, but he was humble and did not accept his virtue, so he often demoted himself as a person with few virtues. Since then, most kings have humbled themselves by this.

King Shang Ming:

Illuminating the four directions is called Ming, internal affairs and principles are called Ming, appointing virtuous and far-reaching people is called Ming, and protecting the people and the elderly is called Ming.

The princes of the pre-Qin period regarded the prince of Shang as the king of madness, and according to the historical data compiled later, he appointed the virtuous and talented, regardless of high or low; internally, he could have a harmonious family and coordinate several foreign relatives; Also content with its governance.Water conservancy projects such as the Dayi Canal were also built, which made the Central Plains rely on it for hundreds of years. Therefore, since the Han Dynasty, later generations have pursued the posthumous title of "Ming".

Chapter 21 Refining Qi = Drinking Northwest Wind?

Compared with the last sacrifice, the number of slaves sacrificed this time has been significantly reduced, and most of them are old and weak. On the one hand, there are no Li sacrifices this time. The timing of other major sacrifices coincided with each other. On the other hand, the number of slaves was obviously not enough, which led to the fact that there were not many slaves to be human sacrifices.

Although he is still not used to it, Zishou still looks away from these human sacrifices. In this era, it is not impossible to reform slavery and ban living sacrifices, but living sacrifices can be banned, but people cannot be saved, because a Very objective factors, if they are not sacrificed, then they can only be starved to death.

Compared with eating and drinking, sending away with a happy knife, starving to death is a greater human tragedy. This era is not modern. There are grain production areas everywhere. If there is no food, you only need to buy it with money. This The era, and even the next few eras: no food means no food, can't buy it, and it's impossible to get seedlings to produce a high yield immediately.

If you want to save these human sacrifices, the only feasible way is to hear a "ding" now, and then activate some kind of luck system, you can buy food, seeds, and technology, and then the person in charge of execution seems to be from They appear as if they grow out of thin air in the ground, and they can read and write, and they are loyal, and their brains are still online, so they will not misunderstand accidentally or intentionally.

Bureaucrats deliberately distort policies for personal gain. Until modern times, any thought or system cannot completely solve the problem. If you hope that Zishou can solve it at this time, it is better to give him some kind of system and then ignore everything. It is more scientific to impose policies based on objective factors.

In this era, the most important function of the so-called ideas understood by modern people is to allow him to grasp the context of history and lay the foundation for the inevitable day of innovation in the future. Apart from this, it is useless and even harmful no profit!

Because ideas cannot be turned into food, advanced ideas will not immediately become materials in the warehouse. What's more, ideas that do not meet the needs of the times and objective natural conditions are not advanced at all. They are either backward, fallacious, or Talk about wrong country!

Only when thought and practice can be integrated, and consciousness and matter match, can the so-called advanced thought be called advanced and play a role.

After the sacrifice, it is the traditional Chinese Valentine's Day in the true sense, Shangsi Festival. Of course, it is not called this name now, but simply Shangsi Day, which is the first Si day in March. To prepare for agricultural activities, the main activity is to bathe by the water, 袯 (bo) 禊 (xi), also known as Lan Tang to ward off evil spirits.

Simply speaking from the literal meaning, it seems that there is no taste of Valentine's Day in it. However, this is really Valentine's Day, why?Because on this day, both men and women have to go to the water to bathe, and in this era, there must be no swimsuits.

In addition, there is no ceremonial boudoir, and on this day, the herb soup (Lan Tang) used to soak clear water to get rid of evil has more or less ingredients of that kind.

So, when a large group of young men and women who have just grown up gather by the water to take a mixed bath, wash their bodies with hot water mixed with herbs and herbs, and remove the dirt accumulated on the cat's body throughout the winter, then in the evening, when the sky is dark , what will happen to a large group of men and women who are well-washed and have a coming-of-age ceremony is very logical.

On this day, it is also the time when girls who reach the age limit hold their coming-of-age ceremony. Basically, it means that a large group of girls and boys who are ready to marry or have children from the perspective of society are bathing by the water without restraint. .

Zishou used to feel that he came from the modern world, and he has been here for almost a year. He has never seen any big scenes, and he would blush at first, but now he can turn a blind eye to ordinary scenes.

But... He has never seen the scene on Shangsiri, and he has a deep understanding of the location and description of Guanju's poem. What is the so-called Yiren on the side of the water? A large group of Yiren, and then in the river section separated by a distance, a large group of teenagers and young people exude an atmosphere like a male dog in love.

Zi Shou scratched his head, could it be that is the mental journey of the oldest defeated dog or the oldest licking dog?

As a king, of course he also needs Lantang to bathe. However, he has his own bathing place, not only the bathing place, but also his own hunting ground and garden, which is the Forbidden Garden, which is about a thousand miles in radius and is very large.

There are springs, streams, woods, meadows, rich prey, and also planted fruit trees and ornamental flowers and plants. Although it is not as exquisite as the gardens of later generations, it has more natural flavor.

Dozens of slaves dragged the red-hot stones out of the charcoal fire in disgrace, and rolled them into the pool formed by the stream water with simple bone and wooden tools. The red-hot stones were excited by the cold water, bursts of steam .

This is the oldest artificial hot spring manufacturing method, and Zishou is on the other side of the pool. There is a wooden wall separating him from the slaves. Warm spring water is poured into the bath, and there are flower petals floating on the water surface and exuding a fragrance. leaves of grass.

Due to the consumption of manpower, material resources, and fuel, this kind of bathing, even the king of Shang, can only enjoy it before a large sacrifice.

"Your Majesty, what are you thinking about?" Jiang walked in barefoot and slowly sank into the pool. Due to the recuperation after giving birth, her body was obviously plump, and the original abdominal muscles on her stomach were almost invisible. The abdominal skin appears slightly loose.

"When will Zhou Zhou give in?" Although various campaigns and pressures are being launched little by little, it will take a lot of time. The pressure has not yet been fully transmitted to Xiqi, and Shuqi has not responded yet. Reluctance to fight with Zhou is also a problem. Although the plan is very thorough, there are too many points that are prone to mistakes.

"I'm afraid Uncle Zhou won't be able to withstand such a violent attack, Your Majesty is too hasty." Su Bi went into the water from the other side, his skin wetted by the warm water was slippery, and because of the hot water vapor, there was a layer of cuteness. Pink, really deserves to be a witch who can bring disaster to the country and the people!

She has a slender waist, plump thighs, long black hair coiled on the top of her head, revealing small and delicate ears, a pair of standard peach blossom eyes are slightly narrowed, and the corners of the eyes are drawn with pink flower juice. More like a fox.

"Ah, if the hair is wet, it's not very comfortable, so I didn't conjure up ears and tail." Su Bi is already used to the abnormality of the King of Shang, and what I'm afraid is the most annoying thing for another King of Shang is that she shows inhuman features , but, this guy Zishou... well, he's crazy, don't worry about it.

"Speaking of which, didn't you say that there are many strangers living in Modu? Jiang Shi, let them come to the palace one by one and describe what kind of abilities they have and what bloodline they come from. I can arrange them conveniently."

"My lord, most of the aliens inherit the status of their ancestors, and their own abilities are not strong" at least not as strong as their ancestors.

"However, there are always some who came here before and are still alive?" Zishou frowned. It is normal for future generations to lie on the merits of their ancestors and not think about making progress, but since they can squeeze people like Zhong out Go, as a radish occupying a pit, there is always something special about it.

"Well, I will arrange it later." Although the place is mainly dominated by the Niaoguan clan and the Lieshan clan, cronyism is not a bad thing in this day and age. After all, there is no country or national spirit in these days, or Only a little germination, blood relationship is the most reliable relationship.
