Chapter 673

As the capital of Pingguo, the new city is not big, and the size of the Ming Dynasty is the county town. According to the "Emperor of Emperor Ming", there are four gates in the new city, namely the East Tiren Gate, the West Zunyi Gate, the South Li Gate, and the North Guangzhi Gate.

After leaving Guangzhimen, ten miles north, there is the "Nishan Archway".

Nishan is the wild place where Confucius' parents live together.

Why build the "Nishan Archway"?

In fact, it is to tell the Chinese people that everyone bears the responsibility of "educating the four barbarians". Confucius and his elders are all "born from wild alliances"

What is the so-called "wild mercy"? It can only refer to the wild man outside the Yan family's female city who was attracted by Shu Lianghe in the wild, causing her to get pregnant and give birth to a saint. As for this "wild mercy", what is the "wild mercy" method, it depends on their own understanding.

However, the construction of the "Nishan Archway" here is to encourage the Chinese and local people to intermarry. In order to spread civilization, to... well, to comfort the barbarians and return to Xia!

"The people of the country serve the king, and the people of the country live in the fields and farm, which is also in line with the Zhou rituals!"

When he rode a two-wheeled carriage to his fiefdom, he saw the natives working in the fields, and Liu Zongzhou said with satisfaction.

In the current Pingguo, people are divided into two categories. One is "nationals", which is the immigrants from the country. Whether they are kings and nobles or people, they are all "nationals". The other is "natives", which are local natives, who can be slaves or free people.

This point is similar to the Western Zhou Dynasty's division of "Chinese people" and "savages". "Chinese people" live in the city walls and are relatives who have followed the king to the four directions. They have the obligation to serve in the military. "Savages" live in the suburbs and are despised as natives who were originally conquered. They make a living by farming and have a low status, but they can organize their families and give them to "Chinese people" with their land rewards, and will not be killed arbitrarily.

Originally, using slaves was just about following the customs. However, after explanations by Liu Zongzhou and other great scholars, this matter became a "retro" system that followed the "Zhou rituals". Even great scholars occasionally experience "wild marriage". What if a great scholar was born who was worthy of the Confucius Temple?

Just as Liu Zongzhou sighed that he could see Zhou Li revival, suddenly, a gun sounded from a distance. From a distance, he saw several Chinese people holding muskets and shooting at people against the big tree.

"Liu San, hurry up, go and ask what's going on?"

Liu Zongzhou, who jumped out of the carriage, did not draw his sword, but took out a musket, the saint said that the six arts of gentlemen:: etiquette, music, shooting, imperial, book, and count. This shooting has long become a musket. No one would joke about his own life. As for the ancestral system... Now, there are really few people who care about it. Liu Zongzhou, holding a musket, shouted while walking.

"I am Liu Zongzhou, the head of the Ministry of Rites. What's going on here?"

"Reported to Lord Liu, we are all Chinese here, and we have always taken the locals to educate our slaves. But I never thought that today, the natives came to the door and said that our slaves are their escaped slaves. They dared to forcibly rob us slaves..."

"Oh, that's all right! Hurry up, take my waist card and ask the national army for support."

He fired a shot at the natives in the distance, and Liu Zongzhou shouted loudly.

"The natives are arrogant and do not know how to educate the king. I will wait for us to educate them!"

Muskets are both education!

It is unknown whether those natives have been educated, but when the news reached the palace in Xincheng, before Zhu Cilang could react, Cao Anguo clapped his hands.

"Master, this is a God-given opportunity! Please send your troops to attack the barbarians!"

Faced with General Cao's suggestion, Zhu Cilang hesitated.

"General Cao, is it... suitable now?"

For Zhu Cilang, who had been living here for four months, he was really happy now. His Majesty's feudal land was so large and fertile that he could never dream of. Although this place is overseas and there is no distinction between four seasons, here, as the king, he is indeed the king of a country. Even if Pingguo is the vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.

However, as a prince, he only needs to pay tribute once a year, from food, cloth, to jewelry and beauties. Of course, Your Majesty also has rewards. According to the rules of the country's fief, if the princes do not pay tribute on time, the title will be reduced at the least, and the country will be destroyed at the worst.

But this is not important. What is important is that, in addition, the court just ignores him, as long as he fulfills the obligations of the vassal states, he is in charge of all domestic affairs.

Even if this "country" of hundreds of miles is only equivalent to a county at most, but the king of a place is also a king. Because of this, he really doesn't want to break the current "time is quiet and peaceful".

But I am afraid that the years of peace will come to an end, but I am afraid that I will lose my country. After all, the country next to me... is quite small!

"Is the King willing to be the king of a mere hundred miles?"

Cao Anguo said excitedly.

"King, this native man has no less than ten thousand miles under his command. We want to open the border for the king and create a foundation for peace and prosperity for the country."

"Yes, General Cao, this native country has a population of nearly 10 million and is covered with tens of thousands of armor!"

"So what! The Han army is invincible. Although our country does not have ten thousand elite soldiers, there are three thousand tigers. What are you afraid of if he will do!"

As soon as Cao Anguo's words fell, someone outside the hall interrupted him urgently.

"Your Majesty, please think twice."

The one who rushed in was Xu Shiqi, the prime minister of the country. After learning that he had a conflict with the natives, he rushed over and happened to hear Cao Anguo's words.

"Your Majesty, you can't move your troops lightly. If you raise a war lightly, you may damage the foundation of Pingguo. Now that our country is first established, it is really not easy to start the war easily. Now it is time to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens!"

Xu Shiqi is the prime minister and an old minister who took the initiative to defect to King Ping. He followed his loyalty at the age of nearly 70, which has long made him famous at home and abroad. But as an old minister, what is his biggest characteristic?

It's stable!

Jian Zhen is just too stable!

This is probably the biggest feature of the ministers of the Pingguo country. Since there are old emperors and old ministers among them, there are also great scholars of the times, it is precisely because of this that they do not have much desire to make progress.

It seems that they are really satisfied with this thirty-mile country.

After a while, the six officials, households, etiquette, punishment, soldiers and workers rushed over, and their attitudes were very clear that they did not agree with starting the war.

"Now things should be turned into small things, and small things should be turned into small things. I think that people can send pedestrians to the local state, order the king to hand over the local people to cause trouble, compensate for the losses, and order all localities to protect the property of the people, so that the people can enjoy peace again..."

When Liu Zongzhou expressed his opinion there, Zhu Cilang turned his attention to the seemingly calm sages of the Dianzi King Xu. He was a juren from Yangzhou. When His Majesty was in Yangzhou, he joined the army and now he served as the fifth-rank vassal state, which is simply a useless person.

Even if he was a fifth-rank official, he represented the Ming Dynasty and the Emperor of Ming Dynasty! However, most of the time, he only talked about poetry, books and articles, and almost never expressed any opinions on the affairs of Pingguo, as if it did not exist.

But now, Zhu Cilang turned his attention to this vassal state because he represented the Emperor of Ming Dynasty!

"I don't know what suggestions do you have for the vassal state?"

"The king, as a vassal state, I should not interfere in the affairs of the Pacific State, but the Pacific State is also a citizen of the Celestial Empire. Pingguo is also a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty once said, "Those who violate my great power in the Great Ming Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away, and their entire family will be punished." If they do not kill all their entire family, how can they make the natives fear my heavenly power!"

Slap sex...

It seems like a casual word, but it only hits everyone with a fever. It's a hot thing!

His Majesty……

That's the emperor!

Even if the emperor said something casually, it would be a sign of the constitution. Just as Liu Zongzhou was about to speak, Wang Xu continued to say.

"The emperor appointed the king of the king and the princes to Pingguo, and gave the princes swords to the king. Since the emperor gave the princes swords to the king, he was to protect the people. Today, the people were bullied by the natives, and the king of the king held the princes swords to avenge the people. Only in this way can the emperor be defeated! He did not let down the princes' responsibility!"

The successive principles made Zhu Cilang feel red. He has been addicted to peace and happiness in just a few months. If this continues, it will be better. So he immediately stood up and said loudly.

"The word from the Dianfu Kingdom wakes up the dreamer. I am the king who serves as the emperor's herder. Today, the people are bullied by the natives. If I do not avenge him, how can I be worthy of the emperor's grace? Come and take my armor, and I will personally conquer the local barbarians!"
