Chapter 30 Zen!

"I am in power, but I am destroyed by the world. Fortunately, my ancestors' spirits have survived in danger.

However, when I look up to astronomy and look down on the people's hearts, the number of spirits and spirits is over, my fortune depends on Ouyang.

In the past, the king had achieved the achievements of the divine martial arts, and now the king had bright virtues to meet his expectations. This is a clear and clear list of things, and it is clear that it is known.

When the great way is to follow, the world is the public and choose wise and capable. Therefore, Tang Yao did not use his sons to be private, but his reputation spreads to infinite.

I envy and admire him. Now he follows Yao Dian and abdicates himself in Ouyang Prime Minister.”

Above the grand ceremony, under the witness of envoys from various countries, Li Bingchang recited his abdication edict earnestly, and solemnly handed over items such as the imperial seal to Ouyang Bian, which completed the handover of a regime.

Sima Guang did not stand above the envoy of the Song Kingdom, and looked at Ouyang Bian on the Temple of Heaven with a complicated mood.

Of course, Sima Guang was unwilling to attend the ceremony because he did not receive any orders from the country. So when Ouyang Bian invited him to attend, his request was to attend the ceremony as an envoy of the State of Song.

Ouyang Bian did not make things difficult for Sima Guang, because he did not need the recognition of Song State. If Song State wants to admit it, it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t like to admit it. If a country is about to be silly, let him go.

Ouyang Bian valued Sima Guang. This scholar was a stubborn but not a bad person. He was even one of the few scholars with conscience in the Song Dynasty. In fact, Ouyang Bian wanted to overthrow the Song Dynasty, but he loved his motherland deeply, but he did not love the royal family of the Zhao family, but he loved China.

After the ceremony, there was a military parade.

In emerging countries, force is the best tool to intimidate other countries.

The arrival of these foreign envoys is to have good friends and to find out the truth. If Ouyang Bian shows weakness, someone will invade the Li family under the banner of standing up for the Li family.

Therefore, the highlight of the military parade is to show off your strength.

When as many as 200,000 cavalrymen entered from Mingde Gate and followed Zhuque Street to Zhuque Gate, Ouyang Bian took all the officials and foreign envoys to inspect the Zhuque Gate, and then the cavalry would go out from both sides of the Golden Light Gate and Chunming Gate.

The inspection of 200,000 troops lasted for a full day, and this was the speed of horses running in small steps.

Sima Guang frowned and looked at everything in front of him.

It would be fine if the abdication ceremony was held, but this military parade made him feel that something was wrong.

The Xixia army is numerous and extremely elite.

The elite not only refers to the strong horses, excellent armor and swords and guns they possess. The key is that the 200,000 troops were not at all confused during such an inspection. This not only reflects the good military discipline of the Western Xia army, but also shows the excellent training level of the Xia army.

There are naturally similar reviews in the Song Dynasty, but only a small number of Han generals were used to support the storefront. If you want to make the 200,000 troops have such a look, it is absolutely impossible.

The more Sima Guang looked at it, the more thrilling he became.

Based on his chat with Zhang Dun and others these days, he knew about the total strength of Xixia. Xixia originally had nearly 300,000 troops. Then this time, during the process of the six routes in Shaanxi in Daxia, about 150,000 Song troops were incorporated. In addition, Ouyang Bian's bank supervision guards had as many as 500,000 cavalry, and there were 500,000 troops in total!

Moreover, cavalry accounts for 40% of these 500,000 troops. The cavalry of this magnitude is already the most powerful cavalry among the three kingdoms of Song, Liao and Xia, and even the Liao Kingdom is not as good as that of the Liao Kingdom.

What made Sima Guang even more worried was that Xixia wanted to support so many armies, but it would not be possible to rely on Xixia's land. In addition, the six routes in Shaanxi were also in trouble. If Ouyang Bian wanted to maintain these armies, external expansion would be necessary.

So, where is the best and most fertile place?

There is no doubt that there is anything else besides the Song Dynasty.

Sima Guang was sadly discovered that with his understanding of the Song Dynasty and his understanding of Ouyang Bian, it may take less than ten years for the Song Dynasty to face a battle to destroy the country!

What made him even more desperate was that Ouyang Bian was different from the kings of Western Xia. He was a person who had learned the heart of the Song Dynasty. Moreover, Sima Guang didn't know who could fight Ouyang Bian in the Song Dynasty.

Basically, it can be said that Sima just grew up watching Ouyang Bian, and there is no need to doubt Ouyang Bian's peerless talent.

The Jiayou rule and the peaceful rule of the Song Dynasty were largely due to Ouyang Bian's ability. When Ouyang Bian was driven away from the center, the Song Dynasty was declining at a speed visible to the naked eye, which was obtained by Sima Guang's observation.

Now it seems that Ouyang Bian is not only a capable minister in governing the world, but also a hero in troubled times. It can be expected that he is also an ambitious monarch.

Sima Guang was unable to return to the Song Dynasty for the time being, but he was not in a hurry, so he simply calmed down and carefully recorded the Daxia Dynasty, which had changed its dynasty.

Sima Guang's prediction was correct. Not long after Ouyang Bian ascended the throne, he issued several laws.

The first part is the "Daxia Constitution". The first sentence of the general outline of the Daxia Constitution is that all powers of the Daxia Empire belong to the people.

Then it was determined that all ethnic groups in the country were equal, and then it was established that the basic economic system was established that adhered to public ownership as the main body and the common development of multiple ownership economies, and stipulated the legitimacy of business at the constitutional level.

Later, it was established that the land was state-owned, public property was sacred and inviolable, private property protection, etc., and other contents on education, economy, people's power, etc. were established.

In Sima Guang's view, this constitution contains too much of his expectations for a country. No country's constitution has ever raised the rights of the people and the protection of business and private property to such a height.

The role of this constitution is very obvious. After the promulgation of the Constitution, the Sixth Road in Shaanxi suddenly became quiet.

Of course, this has something to do with the deterrence of the military parade. After seeing the military power of Xixia, the landlords would either quickly pack up and flee to Song State, or accept their fate and wait for the Xixia government to evaluate and acquire their land.

There are more people who actively move closer to the Xixia government. They take the initiative to organize the land contract to the government and express their cooperation attitude. Of course, the government is relatively friendly to such big landlords. Not only will they award certificates of honor, but they will also give various feedback in the later stage.

The second code is the "Daxia Company Law".

This code provides detailed provisions on economic behavior and is a basic law to regulate corporate behavior.

Matters from the establishment of a company, shareholder qualifications, articles of association, shareholder responsibilities, shareholder rights, company supervisors, to company dissolution and liquidation, etc., shall be handled in accordance with the provisions of the Company Law.

This is a law that runs through small and medium-sized enterprises.

In other words, this movie really plays an important role in protecting merchants.

After the promulgation of this code, the entire Daxia Kingdom was filled with joy, and merchants ran and told each other. For a time, the Commerce and Trade Bureau under the Ministry of Revenue in Daxia had more applications for business licenses.

Sima Guang no longer had the prejudice of business in the past few years. Because of the prosperity and decline of business in the Song Dynasty, he had seen with his own eyes that the rise and decline of business had unparalleled significance for both the people and the court.

The subsequent civil law and criminal law promulgation made Sima Guang unable to help but have some expectations for the Xixia country.

From the legal provisions, Sima Guang saw Ouyang Bian’s emphasis on people himself. Between the lines, Sima Guang saw the country’s emphasis on the concept of being born equal.

Among these codes, human rights are advocated and protected. In the codes of Daxia, trafficking of people is not allowed, and slaves are not allowed. Whether it is merchants, farmers, or scholars, everyone is born equal.

This was quite impactful to Sima Guang, but he was not surprised that Sima Guang had long realized this from many Ouyang Bian's works.

Sima Guang couldn't help but think of a legend, which was the case of Chen Zhizhong during the Jiayou period, that is, the case of the little pomegranate.

Because a little slave, Xiao Polivier, was abused to death by Chen Zhizhong's concubine, Chen Zhizhong was dismissed from prescription. Later, Chen Zhizhong's concubine was sunk into a pig cage because she was not aware of her wife's morality.

Someone who had a good deal went to investigate and found that there were many suspicions. Some people also noticed that this little slave, Xiao Pozu, had a good relationship with Xiao Ouyang Bian at that time, and some people suspected that Ouyang Bian avenged Xiao Pozu.

But it would be fine to listen to such things. After all, who would help a little female slave take such a big risk? Ouyang Bian has a bright future, so how could he be so rash?

When Sima Guang heard about this, he just smiled. But now it seems that Ouyang Bian is not born with different ideas, so that thing may really be done by Ouyang Bian.

Sima Guang was very complicated about the concept of being born equal. He was a firm retroist. The difference between the four people of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce was the ideal he had always adhered to. In his opinion, if the difference was confused, the world might be in chaos.

Afterwards, a vigorous transformation of Shaanxi Sixth Road began.

This change was initiated based on several codes issued, which is a comprehensive change involving economy, politics, military, education, from the upper to the lower level.

This dazzled Sima Guang.

Economically, the implementation of the Company Law, and the concept of economic development-centered by the Xixia government, an economic change was rapidly unfolding, just as enthusiastic as Sima Guang had seen in the Song Dynasty before, and even more enthusiastic.

Not only did the previous businessmen actively participate in it, but also the previously conservative landlords also actively participated in it.

Ouyang Bian announced a world-wide project, which is to rebuild Chang'an City, so as to establish an economic belt with Chang'an City as the center and Hexi Corridor - Lingzhou Free Trade Zone - Qingzhou Industrial Park - Chang'an City!
