"Lord Shang, why do you say that?"
"Your Majesty is extremely wise, and your horizons far exceed ours. This road construction is for the benefit of the people, so how can it be related to the dukes?”
Yang Ren asked.
He had a straightforward personality and did not understand those tricks.
He didn't understand. It was clearly an act to build roads and benefit the people, so why did he have to attack the dukes?
"Building roads is originally an act that benefits the people, but Your Majesty... The person who used it is wrong!"
Shang Rong sighed faintly.
"The road construction project is huge. Just the slaves of Ziqi, Bigan, and the others are just a drop in the bucket. Your Majesty…They would definitely recruit slaves from other places to build roads!”
"In that case…Would the various dukes, who had so many slaves, be willing to give up a large number of slaves?”
"You have to know that nowadays, people represent the army!”
"The various dukes have long had disloyal intentions. Naturally, they will not offer their slaves to the king!”
Shang Rong said lightly.
These people…
He was still too short-sighted.
He couldn't care less about the king's intentions.
He still needed this old man to give him more advice. Otherwise, he would definitely be like that hothead and directly go up to persuade him.
In that case…
Wouldn't that hinder the king's grand plan?
"That's right. Since the various dukes won't offer slaves to the king to build the road, how should we build the road? I'm afraid that the king's plan will be in vain before it can be implemented, right?”
The other officials asked.
That's right.
The dukes would definitely not give their slaves to you.
You said that the king built the road to deal with the dukes, but without people, how could you repair it?
"Yes, the various dukes will definitely not offer slaves to the king, but if... What if those slaves came by themselves?"
Shang Rong asked with a smile.
It attracted the puzzled gazes of the other officials.
"According to my judgment…Your Majesty, I'm afraid you'll have to abolish all rituals of human sacrifice!”
"In that case, the various dukes will naturally not agree. This... This is the king's plan to lure the snake!"
" But now, the status of slaves in society is miserable. I heard that King Zhaoge forbade all rituals that use living people as sacrifices, but they can still have a good job and don't have to worry about their lives anymore…"
"The slaves in the territories of the various dukes are still swarming over.”
Shang Rong said with a smile, his eyes filled with shock.
This was…
This was all the King's intentions that he could figure out.
He knew that this was not all.
Therefore…
He felt even more reverence for Zishou!
Every step had its own meaning and purpose.
It was simply terrifying!
"This matter is absolutely unacceptable!"
Yang Ren said without thinking.
If the king ordered the abolition of all rituals that used living people as sacrifices, then the corresponding…
They would be the vassals of the world, the nobles of various places, and those who had a huge reputation outside of Zhaoge…
Wuzu!
At that time, the influence of the two forces would be earth-shattering!
As a subject, it was natural...
Do something to dissuade him.
He was not against the abolition of the ritual of using living people as sacrifices, but he felt that it was difficult to operate this matter, so it was better to plan slowly…
"Yes... As a subject, he naturally couldn't stand by and watch the king stand under a dangerous wall. He had to dissuade him!”
Shang Rong sighed faintly.
There was a hint of worry on his aged face.
Their conversation was overheard by Shang Qingjun, who was outside the courtyard walls.
For a moment…
Shang Qingjun's eyes gleamed.
He hurriedly ran out of the Prime Minister's residence.
....
In the harem.
Zi Shou rested his head on Daji's voluptuous thigh and fell into deep thought.
Now, the only thing he could harvest was the fatuous points of the commoners who had delayed the sowing season and waited for the autumn harvest.
With Xi Qi, that was equivalent to a basic salary.
Other than that, there was nothing else.
There were also some plans that had yet to hatch.
For example, Daji, who had suddenly died, was a demon concubine.
And the punishment was too heavy, like digging his heart out.
"These two…Perhaps they could join forces and cause a wave of trouble!”
Zi Shou suddenly muttered in his heart.
The king listened to the slanderous words of the demon concubine, wantonly massacred, and the punishment was too heavy…
This fishing boat could create a wave!
What they needed to harvest now were the nobles and Wuzu, who had a huge influence in other places besides Zhaoge.
Zishou's eyes lit up one after another.
"Perhaps, I can give an order to abolish all rituals that use living people as sacrifices. If that happens, it will definitely arouse the strong opposition of the dukes and Wuzu!”
Human sacrifice, human sacrifice, human sacrifice!
The bad habits left behind by the three primitive societies!
A person's death was a symbol of a feudal lord's status.
When a duke died, the more slaves were buried with him, the more noble his status was. Even in the netherworld, he would have a large number of people to serve him.
It was said that when Ji Chang's father, Ji Li, died, Ji Chang buried more than two thousand slaves with his father!
More than 2,000 people were alive!
In some aspects, it even became a symbol of the various dukes and nobles competing for status.
If you don't have as many slaves as I do, then your status is inferior to mine.
If he ordered the abolition of human sacrifice, he would definitely be resisted by the various dukes.
The officials in the court would probably try to dissuade him.
This was a plan to harvest fatuous points!
Moreover...
The removal of the human sacrifice was targeted at the Wuzu group.
This group was simply a f * cking cult.
They had always used the lives of living people to worship the gods.
Once the sacrifice of living people was banned, the Wuzu community would also rise up to resist.
This was another wave of fatuous value income.
When King Wu Ji Fa attacked the Shang Dynasty, one of King Zhou's crimes was that he did not pay attention to sacrifices!
The more Zishou thought about it, the brighter his eyes became.
He was prepared to take advantage of this wave to do more things.
Then, he would wait for a large amount of fatuous points to enter his account.
The feudal lords and Wuzu would oppose the prohibition of human sacrifice, and this was a definite thing.
This order would probably be difficult to carry out in their territory.
But he could do it in Zhaoge.
The dissuasion of the civil and military officials was nothing to worry about.
As a result, a large number of slaves from the feudal vassals 'territories would probably leave and come to Zhaoge.
So...
A large number of people participated in the road construction. Once there were more people…
His own opera could also be brought up!
Reaping the fatuous points of a wave of slaves.
then...
Among them, he would choose a group of outstanding ones and promote them to officials!
In this way, another wave of fatuous points that did not need to be paid by noble relatives arrived…
The light in Zishou's eyes flashed one after another until…
A furry tail flashed past his eyes, and the thoughts in his mind finally stopped.
Zishou raised his head and saw one.
Fox Eared Lady!
"Great King, it's late. It's time to rest ~"
