Chapter 549 It is relatively difficult for monarchs and subjects to argue
In the seventh year of King Zhou, there was a severe drought in the summer.
Except for Xiqi, in the kingdoms of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, there was no rain in March, strong winds continued, and yellow sand filled the sky.
When the autumn harvest is over, there is a trend of no harvest.
Hunger is unstoppable.
……
"His Majesty."
On the court hall of Chaoge City, the ruddy-faced courtiers finally couldn't help it, and shouted loudly.
"Nvwo Niangniang Temple wrote poems first, and the two sages of evil Western religions came later. Now Your Majesty has created an academy to teach me that the people of Yin and Shang only serve the king, relatives and teachers of heaven and earth, and do not respect the God of heaven, the golden mother of Yaochi, nor the righteousness of heaven. God, so that no rain fell for three months, and the wind swept the yellow sand and dust, flooding the lakes and rivers..."
"Your Majesty, please sin against yourself and sacrifice to heaven."
"Your Majesty, please sin against yourself and sacrifice to heaven."
"Your Majesty, please sin against yourself and sacrifice to heaven."
Important things have to be said three times. Even people in the Shang Dynasty understood this truth, but Wu Yan really didn't think of it.
Seeing the ministers shouting in unison, including Prime Minister Shang Rong and Ya Bigan, Wu Yan suddenly felt a little dull.
He can slap these people to death with a single slap, even without a slap, a cough can shock them to death.
Can it really kill?
I hope that after the completion of the main mission this time, there will be no more missions, villains, you can do whatever you want, why set these messy missions?
It is completely bound to oneself.
"I can issue an edict to sin against myself, or hold a ceremony to worship the heavens, or even withdraw my order to make the people believe in Western religion."
Wu Yan used a relatively formal self-proclaimed name. In fact, this self-proclaimed name was also created by Qin Shihuang, but in the Romance of the Gods, King Zhou called himself Zhen, so it is considered that this era has this self-proclaimed name.
"But..." Wu Yan stared at the officials indifferently, and asked, "Who can guarantee that after I do these things, everything will go smoothly?"
The ministers were speechless.
This statement cannot be guaranteed. Although they all know the reason for the severe drought in the world, it is because Wu Yan offended the Heavenly Court and the saints, but can the sinful imperial edict and the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven really calm down the anger of the heavenly court and the saints?
"Since it can't be guaranteed, don't mention this matter again."
Wu Yan began to talk.
Bigan came out and said: "Your Majesty, the edict of sin against oneself is small, and the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is also small, but the tens of thousands of people in my Yin and Shang Dynasties are big. Now it is the time of autumn harvest, but most of the fields will inevitably end up with no harvest. , Your Majesty, if tens of millions of people are all starved to death, it will be a sign that the Yin and Shang Dynasties will perish."
This is the truth.
A severe drought in the world, even if it is only for one season, is enough to affect tens of millions of people.And if this situation continues, in terms of the productivity of this era, at most three years, there will be no one in ten people in the world.
The total population, which Wu Yan thought was a bit strangely high, will return to the level it should have been during the Shang Dynasty in normal history.
But the mental outlook is quite different.
Except for those people on the banks of the great lakes and rivers, the people in other places either starved to death or migrated away.
And these people will also compete for the only resources, everyone will become more and more vicious, humanity will gradually disappear, and all actions are just for survival.
Even if Wu Yan still has more than 100 years of national destiny, this Yin merchant will die.
"Does Yaxiang have a good strategy?"
Wu Yan asked.
Bigan said: "The weather in Xiqi is good, the autumn harvest is worry-free, and the grain production in Xiqi is already rich, so you can order Xiqi to pay tribute to the grain and grass to save the world. At the same time, you can also order the relocation of the people near Xiqi to enter Xiqi for reclamation field."
It's a deal.
Use population to exchange food for Xiqi.
Otherwise, how could Xiqi be willing to hand over the grain so easily?
Wu Yan understood what Bigan meant, and noticed that the courtiers all had a tacit attitude, so he knew that these people had discussed it in advance.
I also blame myself for being a bit busy during this time, and neglecting to use the ability of Emperor Ziwei's heart to monitor these courtiers.
"I don't understand something, so please ask Yaxiang to clarify." Wu Yan was noncommittal about Bigan's proposal, and asked aloud: "Why is there drought everywhere in the world, but Xiqi is the only place where the weather is smooth?"
Bigan felt that his throat was a little dry, and said, "Because Xiqi respects heaven and saints."
Wu Yan laughed, and asked again: "Which saint is the saint who doesn't know Xiqi Zun?"
Bigan took a deep breath and said, "It should be the Taoist who guides and guides the Taoist."
Wu Yan asked: "Everyone, have you forgotten that I ordered the human race not to be respected, received, and accepted as holy?"
Bigan sighed in his heart, and said: "Your Majesty, what the old minister said is right, but it must be indisputable that Xiqi respects the Heavenly Court. A severe drought in the world means disrespecting the Heavenly Court, so that the Heavenly Court punished Yin and Shang."
Finally said this sentence ah.
Wu Yan got up from the throne, looked down at the officials below, and asked: "I said that readers of the human race should believe in the heaven, earth, king, relatives and teachers. The heavens will think that I disrespect the heavens and make my Yin and Shang suffer a drought for three months. Xiqi The land is only the land of the princes, and it is also under my rule, and should be respected by the heaven and earth, the relatives and teachers, but the heavens let Xiqi have good weather."
"My lords, how should Xiqi disobey the king's orders?"
"My lords, what is the reason for the heavenly court to interfere with our human race's affairs?"
"My lords, if one day, the heavenly court says that I, the Yin and Shang Dynasties, will be destroyed, Xiqi will be prospered, and Xibo Hou Jichang will have the appearance of a great emperor, what should I do?"
The court was completely quiet, and the courtiers looked at Wu Yan in horror.
Let alone Wu Yan, who is a king, in a place like the court, during the court meeting, in front of many courtiers, he personally said that Xibo Hou Jichang had the appearance of a great emperor, even if it was under the guise of the name of the heaven, it also showed that Wu Yan Yan thought that Xibohou would rebel in the future.
This is a really big deal.
What shocked them even more was that after hearing Wu Yan's words, they felt speechless.
It seems that this is the truth.
"The human world is my human race's human world, so the Heavenly Court should stay in the sky obediently."
When Wu Yan said these words, he raised his head to look at the dome of the palace, and his gaze seemed to look at the sky through it.
He didn't know whether Emperor Haotian was looking at him now, but he believed that Emperor Haotian would know what he said today.
There were also historians in the Shang Dynasty, and every word and deed of the emperor would be recorded, and the content of the court meeting would definitely be disseminated.
Even if he is protected by the power of humanity and the golden light of merit, a relatively weak saint like Emperor Haotian can't see himself with his sight, but he can always see other people and things.
"I remember this account."
Wu Yan looked up at the sky, and when he uttered threatening words, someone among the ministers was so frightened that he couldn't help but fell to the ground.
This is different from when Wu Yan offended the saint before.
Whether it is Empress Nusnail or the two saints of the Western religion, they are just saints. In the eyes of many people, they are just more powerful Qi trainers or gods.
But the heavenly court represents the heaven and the earth on a certain level.
A sage is also a person, otherwise he would not be called a sage, so people don’t need to be too afraid of a sage, but how can a person not be afraid of heaven and earth?
There can be no saints in the world, and the human race can still live well.
But what if there is no heaven and earth in the world?
"His Majesty……"
Shang Rong and the other veterans spoke out in a hurry, not knowing whether they wanted to stop Wu Yan from saying more harsh words, or wanted Wu Yan to take back what he just said.
But it doesn't matter anymore, because Wu Yan interrupted their words.
"It is my decree that all the people of our Yin and Shang Dynasties can enter Chaoge City. They can be escorted by soldiers along the way, provided with food and drinking water, and provided with real estate and fertile land for resettlement."
Wu Yan felt that Heaven was helping him.
Although the preparations for New Chaoge City are not yet complete, but the matter has come to this point, Wu Yan is not willing to wait any longer.
Because he knows very well that Heavenly Court, Western Teaching, and Interpretation of Teaching will not give him any more time.
Needless to say about the Heavenly Court and the Western Sect, the fact that none of the disciples have come to Chaoge City so far is proof of the teaching.
Can the disciples of Chanjiao despise the power of merit?
To say this is to look down on the disciples of Jiejiao. Quasi-sages like Daoist Duobao want the power of merit. How could Guangchengzi, who have been trapped in the Daluo Jinxian realm for many years, not want it?
They don't come because someone doesn't let them come.
Yuanshi Tianzun.
That being the case, then Wu Yan will build Xinchaoge city as soon as possible, and make Xinchaoge city become the important place and core place of the human race through a large number of relocated people.
Even now, there is no way to accommodate 2000 million people to survive, or even 1000 million people.
However, cities and towns can also be built around Xinchaoge City.
When the population gathers, civilization can flourish and develop. This is the best means when transportation and communication are inconvenient.
"No, Your Majesty."
As King Zhou's uncle, Bigan naturally hoped that Yin and Shang's national fortune would last forever. He also hated Xiqi very much. There are tens of millions, how can the power of Chaoge support a city? There are also fertile land and real estate...Your Majesty, don't be arrogant and do things that are wrong for the country."
The reason why the ancient capital city had a small population was not only because of the development level of science and technology and productivity, so that the capital city could not accommodate more people at the same time, but also because too many people would cause bad things.
It is impossible for a capital defense army like the Royal Forest Army to support tens of thousands of people, and the establishment of tens of thousands of people is already a giant. In this case, if the population of the capital exceeds one million, or even millions.
If there is a turmoil, or if there is a plan by someone with a heart, the capital will be broken as soon as it is broken, and it is impossible to defend.
People with kitchen knives and dung forks can also kill well-trained elite soldiers.
There is also the consideration of the epidemic situation. In ancient times, there was also an epidemic situation. As long as there are a few signs when there are many people, the result will be quite bleak.
"Did you forget that I have a Jujiao Immortal in Chaoge City?"
Wu Yan didn't want to explain too much to these courtiers, because he felt that the ideas of these people were too old-fashioned. It didn't mean that they were not smart and didn't fulfill their duties. It was just that the limitations of the times restricted their thinking patterns.
The level of the next generation of courtiers of the Shang Dynasty will be greatly improved.
So I used a more clean and neat method to solve this problem, looked down at the ministers and asked: "Masters, have you forgotten that when the Taoist priests and quasi-spirited Taoists of the Western religion want to take action against me, my future master?" Master Tongtian took action personally and taught them two?"
These words made the ministers quiet down a bit.
However, there are still many people who think that just the sage Master Tongtian and the immortals of the Jiejiao are definitely not the opponents of the Heavenly Court and the Western Cult.
It's normal to have this kind of thinking. After all, the leader of Tongtian religion is just a saint, and there are four saints in Tianting and Western religion combined.
Among the courtiers there were also qi practitioners, the absent Grand Master Wen Zhong was the Taiyi Golden Immortal's cultivation level, and was also a disciple of Jiejiao, so he knew part of these things.
Wu Yan saw the worries of the ministers, laughed, and asked again: "Did you forget that my future master is the Lord Tongtian, and there are two senior brothers?" , are all innate saints, and even disciples of Daozu Hongjun."
This is pure nonsense.
Moreover, the masters of these three innate sages are Hongjun Daozu's matter, which is not well known in the practice circle.
But since Wu Yan said it himself, how dare the officials not believe it?
Not to mention that some people would inquire who Hongjun Taoist ancestor was after the court meeting. When they knew that Hongjun Taoist ancestor was in harmony with the way of heaven, they would be shocked that the power behind King Zhou had completely overwhelmed the heaven.
Just saying that the names of Yuanshi Tianzun and Taishang Laojun were moved out by Wu Yan in the name of Tongtian Jiaozhu senior brother, it was enough to make the officials dare not argue with Wu Yan anymore.
Even Bigan and Shang Rong chose to keep their mouths shut.
They don't know what the immortal's means are.
The court meeting ended here, and Wu Yan's will was successfully delivered, and at the same time as it was passed on to the world, another problem arose.
"Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with drinking water. The water stored in Zhao Gongming's Dinghai Pearl is enough to feed hundreds of millions of people for billions of years." Taoist Duobao found Wu Yan and said bluntly: "But we really can't change food. , Using Taoism to promote the rapid growth of seeds will consume a lot of land, which is a matter of exhausting the water."
You can't change the food, and you still say you are a quasi-sage?
Wu Yan didn't ask the sages if they could directly produce food, but smiled confidently: "Brother Dao, don't worry, I have my own way to deal with it."
food?
Not to mention that the total population of this world is less than [-] million, even if it is multiplied ten times or a hundred times, Wu Yan can still support him.
