The news of Tang Jiu coming out of retirement didn't cause a stir in the other countries.
After all, Tang Jiu was only famous in the small town. In the entire continent, he was only a corner of the iceberg.
Although the people of the other countries did not know about Tang Jiu, their scouts had found out something earth-shattering.
That was that the new emperor of the Great Zhou had personally gone to the small town to invite a young man to come out of seclusion.
And wear the seal of the prime minister.
This was an extremely ridiculous thing, because the Central Plains was a world with a very strict hierarchy.
For thousands of years, the hierarchy had produced generations of nobles, and they had once touched the ceiling of the feudal dynasty.
It formed a political system with blood ties as the link, allowing the rights of the aristocratic class to be passed down from generation to generation.
They had long occupied the position of the ruling class of the country, and their generous treatment made ordinary people unable to catch up.
Therefore, it was impossible for an ordinary commoner to be conferred the title of Marquis.
However, after the scouts investigated from many aspects, they found out that Tang Jiu was only the sect master of a small sect.
Therefore, this matter quickly became a joke that spread among the six countries.
Just like the rumors said, the new emperor was young and frivolous when he ascended the throne. He suddenly grasped the supreme ruling power of the entire country and would definitely do something incomprehensible.
In the end, Song Changling was just too young in the eyes of the nobles of other countries. He was just a child!
None of the princes and generals of the six states took this matter to heart.
Only a woman of the Great Tang had keenly noticed this.
Liu Xing looked out of the window, her beautiful eyes sparkling with starlight, and her expression was a little cold.
He exuded a cold and aloof aura that kept people a thousand miles away.
"Princess, this is the news from our scouts.”
A man in black handed over a portrait.
Liu Xing glanced at him and sighed, then smiled bitterly in her heart.
"It really is him!"
"Looks like we'll have to be opponents in the future.”
There was nothing she could do about the competition between the two countries!
Liu Xing was a little disappointed at the thought of this. She bit her lip and waved her hand in frustration, sending her subordinate flying.”
The subordinate was dumbfounded.
Following that, the newly appointed Prime Minister of the Great Zhou announced some policies.
The imperial examination system was used to select talents, reward them for farming and fighting, and receive titles according to their military achievements.
Abolish the aristocratic system.
Limit land annexation and abolish all privileges.
At the same time, he would take back the political power, financial power, and military power. He would use the division of power to maintain the central power.
Reorganize the army, strengthen rural governance, and maintain social order.
Build a global military reserve.
At the same time, it would improve the overall quality of the army and weaken the privileges of the nobles and officials.
They also roped in cultivation sects, introduced talents, and nurtured cultivators.
Of course, this was only an additional method. A truly powerful country could only be strong if its millions of people were strong.
Within a year after the new policy was introduced, two vassal kings rebelled in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Because it touched the interests of the high-ranking officials and nobles, the officials forced the abdication on that day. However, both the vassal kings and the officials forced the abdication to be suppressed.
Changing policies was not something that could be done overnight. It needed time to prove right or wrong.
On the observation platform of the Great Zhou Imperial Palace.
Tang Jiu looked at the scenery in the distance and narrowed his eyes slightly, enjoying the cool night breeze.
The young man beside him had already changed his appearance. He looked a little old, but his eyes were still determined.
"If it's as you say, I'm afraid I won't be able to see the glory of our Great Zhou unifying the six countries.”
Tang Jiu smiled slightly and did not answer the Emperor's question.
Song Changling sighed." What I want to do is not just to unify the six countries!”
"Unfortunately, life is short…"
The Patriarchs of the three religions had set a rule that the emperors of the mortal world could not cultivate or live forever.
Therefore, even though Song Changling was the emperor, his lifespan was actually the same as that of an ordinary person.
In just a few decades, it had only been 30,000 days.
"I'm just giving a rough estimate," Tang Jiu said after some thought."Maybe it won't take too long."”
"I want to get rid of you for one thing.”
Song Changling suddenly looked serious.
"Please speak, Your Majesty," Tang Jiu said.
Song Changling said," If I can't see the day when the Great Zhou unifies the six states, then I hope that you can bury my body at the highest place in the Central Plains.”
Tang Jiu was slightly taken aback.
"Your Majesty, can you tell me the reason?”
Song Changling sighed sadly." Sigh…I can't bear to part with this beautiful land!”
He looked into the distance, his eyes burning with flames.
They were unwilling to accept the fact that fate was too short and that they could not unify the six states.
Tang Jiu nodded and agreed." Alright, we'll do as Your Majesty says."”
In fact, the development of the Great Zhou's plan to unify the six countries had already far exceeded Song Changling's budget.
In a short ten years, the Great Zhou's national strength had rapidly increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The economic, military, and political reforms pushed the Great Zhou Dynasty forward.
Of course, in these ten years, there were still natural disasters in various parts of the Great Zhou Dynasty. After all, this was not something that could be interfered with by human power. Compared to other countries, the scale of the natural disasters in the Great Zhou Dynasty was almost negligible.
Ever since that commoner prime minister came to the Great Zhou Dynasty, such a saying had been circulating among the six states.
The imperial examination system, the military merit system, and a series of other systems attracted talents. Not only did they attract talents from the Great Zhou Dynasty, but they also attracted talents from other countries.
Only when talents flowed in and gathered, and society continued to develop, could it attract more talents. This cycle formed a good cycle.
By the time the other countries wanted to follow suit, they had already been left far behind by the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Those who had mocked Song Changling's absurdity back then were also slapped in the face by reality and were speechless.
His choice was indeed correct.
Tang Jiu's contributions were obvious to everyone, so the other countries were thinking of ways to rope him in, or they could directly launch sneak attacks and assassinations.
The Great Tang had sent out an observation team in the name of an emissary to the Great Zhou Dynasty to learn about the system. The leader of the group was the Eldest Princess of the Great Tang, Liu Xing.
On this day.
Liu Xing was wearing a fiery red robe.
However, under the reflection of her face, even the bright-colored silk would appear dull.
Her face was as white as jade, and her face was as beautiful as the sun. His eyebrows were as long as a painting, and his eyes sparkled like a galaxy. It was as if there was no trace of the mortal world.
Such a face was rare in the Northern Lands, and even in Jiangnan, which was rich in beautiful women, it was probably very rare.
Liu Xing was the eldest princess of the Tang Empire and was known as the most beautiful woman in the world.
Not to mention the surrounding officials, even the high and mighty Emperor Song Changling was stunned.
At this moment, Liu Xing was even more polite in the imperial court. She had a sense of propriety and showed the elegance of a great country.
The Great Tang truly lived up to its reputation as a great nation of the Central Plains.
The court session soon ended. Liu Xing ran straight to Tang Jiu's residence.
The Prime Minister's residence was naturally close to the Imperial Palace. It was protected by the imperial guards, and there were two cultivators in the Form Synthesis Realm who lived with Tang Jiu.
Liu Xing walked briskly. She didn't expect Tang Jiu, who was already the prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, to still live with such a low rent. However…this was in line with his style.
Liu Xing couldn't help but smile, and then she was stopped by the Royal Guards.
After revealing his identity, he was allowed to enter.
Of course, Liu Xing's attendants were not allowed to enter the Prime Minister's residence.
"F * ck, you old man, why don't you keep your word?”
"Hurry up and give me the green onions."
Tang Jiu's voice sounded.
The Body Integration Realm old man on the other side cried and said," These are the mushrooms I picked today. I still need them to make mushroom and cabbage dumplings!”
Tang Jiu snatched it from her." But it's mine now!”
Another Body Integration Realm old man said," That's right, that's right. If you're willing to bet, you'll lose. Oh right…can you bring me along when you eat dumplings?"”
These two Body Integration Realm cultivators were ordered to protect Tang Jiu. At the same time, their other identity was the Imperial Advisor of Great Zhou.
Hearing the creaking sound of the door opening, Tang Jiu turned his head and looked over.
He saw a woman in red standing at the door, smiling at him.
At this moment, he felt as if he had returned to more than ten years ago.
Staring at that face, Tang Jiu was stunned for a moment before a smile appeared on his face.
"Hey, you came at the right time. We're preparing to make dumplings tonight! Do you want to join us?"
Liu Xing was truly the most beautiful woman Tang Jiu had ever seen. She pursed her lips and giggled, as if time had stopped.
Then, she strode over." Alright, you're in charge of making the bags, and I'll be in charge of eating!”
