Liang Jingxuan hesitated.
The King of Liang patted his shoulder and said, "King Zhou of Shang was the last human sovereign since ancient times. At that time, the power of the Shang Dynasty was weak, and the nobles and old forces were domineering and enslaved the commoners. Faced with this situation, King Zhou of Shang carried out drastic changes. He gave many benefits to the country and the people."
"First, he encouraged merchants and farmers, and developed agriculture for the people."
"Second, he weakened the power of the nobles."
"Third, he abolished slavery."
Which of these three items was tyrannical?!
"In the middle period of King Zhou of Shang's rule, the strength of the country had already stabilized. At this time, King Zhou of Shang began to expand again. At that time, the territory of the Shang Dynasty expanded to the areas of Shandong, Anhui, and Jiangsu. It could be said to be a great contribution."
