It is said that "the people are the foundation of the country, the foundation of the country is solid, and the country is peaceful." After Emperor Xin came to the throne, he worked hard to govern the country and bring prosperity to the country, benefiting the people and bringing honor to the late emperor. He reformed and abolished the old system of killing slaves, allowing slaves to engage in agriculture, animal husbandry, and handicraft production to create wealth for the country.
It also changed the slash-and-burn production method and implemented large-scale collective production. It began to use cattle to promote cultivation, sowing, soil fertilization, irrigation, drainage, and other complete agricultural farming technologies, which made the country's agricultural production develop rapidly. The Shang Dynasty once again reappeared in the prosperous era, and people's lives were stable and the princes from all over the world were deeply loved by the people.
In order to show the strength of the country, Emperor Xin built three city walls in Chaoge. Among them, the imperial city wall was fifty feet wide at the base, about three feet high, and four feet wide at the top. The outer ring is a city seven feet wide and two feet deep. The area of the second city wall was more than a square mile; the distance of the third city wall from the south gate to the north gate was 45 miles, which reflected the style of a large country with a territory of thousands of miles at that time.
At that time, Dongyi often invaded the land of Yin and Shang, harassed and robbed the common people, and the people from Wu Ding to Emperor Yi could not be completely subdued even though they attacked many times. In order to subdue the harassment of the southeastern barbarians, Emperor Xin Yi changed the conquest methods of his predecessor Emperor Yi and focused on military strategy.
With great talent and great strategy, he ordered all the princes in the world to select warriors with high martial arts skills, led by Huang Feihu, to conduct large-scale exercises in Li to show their strong strength to Dongyi, so that Dongyi no longer dared to act rashly in the face of the powerful Yin and Shang dynasties.
In order to expand the territory, Emperor Xin also sent Taishi Wen Zhong and Wucheng King Huang Feihu to lead troops to conquer all directions to continuously expand the territory. In the end, all the barbarians were defeated and all the guests were conquered.
The eight hundred town princes all came to the Shang Dynasty - there were four big princes leading eight hundred small princes. Dong Bohou Jiang Huanchu lived in East Shandong, South Bohou E Chongyu, West Bohou Jichang, and Bei Bohou Chonghou Hu; each town prince led two hundred small princes. A total of eight hundred towns belong to princes and merchants. Emperor Xin enjoys peace, prosperity and prosperity for all the people.
There is a proverb among the common people: "Di Xin's country is like an iron bucket."
At this time, people still ate with their hands. Emperor Xin felt that this was uncivilized and inconvenient, so he made two thin sticks out of wood to hold the food and deliver it to the mouth. He thought it was very convenient, so he made everyone in the palace eat like this.
Later, when a minister saw Emperor Xin eating with this kind of thing and came home, he made a pair of them, which was very convenient, so he let everyone in his family eat with this thing.
Then this kind of thing spread to the common people through the servants of the minister's family. When the people heard about this thing, they rushed to imitate it. Slowly, every family began to use this convenient and clean thing, which indirectly reduced the risk of viruses. However, it is a good thing that contact with people greatly reduces the chance of getting sick.
Di Xin's ability to become one of the Star Lords after his death may have something to do with this meritorious deed. Although Di Xin did not do it intentionally, those who were saved from contracting the virus and died benefited from him.
Qingxu left Wangwushan and traveled around after passing on the Shangqing Dynasty to Song Tianqi.
First find two disciples - Kong Xuan and Yuan Hong to inspect the progress of their cultivation. At this time, Kong Xuan has already experienced the intention of killing in the Yin Shang Army. Not only is he the first among the three generations of disciples, he is also the fourth quasi-sage in the entire Taoist sect. Qingxu was greatly pleased.
Although Kong Xuan's path to enlightenment for Qingxu's disciples was to kill three corpses, he had already used his own body to kill the evil corpses.
Although Yuan Hong is not as fast as Kong Xuan, he has also reached the realm of Xuanxian. Reaching the realm of Taiyi Xuanxian is also just around the corner.
During the trip, Qingxu went to the Biyou Palace and the caves of the junior brothers and sisters scattered across the four major continents, looked at their entry, inspected their entry, and warned them again not to go out unless they had nothing to do, so as not to offend the evil spirits of the catastrophe. Fall into disaster. If you have to go out for something important, invite your friends to avoid any unexpected events.
Then Qingxu hid in Chaoge and carefully observed Xin Shoude's actions, from when he was studying with Wen Zhong when he was a child to when he went to conquer Dongyi and so on.
And what Emperor Xin did after he succeeded to the throne was naturally seen in the eyes. The more he looked at Qingxu, the more puzzled he became. From what Emperor Xin did at this time, it can be seen that Emperor Xin was a man of great talent and ambition, determined to be famous throughout the world. How could the monarch who revitalized the Yin and Shang dynasties turn into a King Zhou who built palaces and wine pools, pampered women, imprisoned virtuous people, and harmed the loyal and good?
Moreover, the mistakes Di Xin made were similar to Xia Jieru's, and I'm afraid there was something fishy about them.
Even if he later became so overjoyed that he didn't want to listen to Fu Ni's blunt words, he would be like Tang Xuanzong in later generations. But he would not write obscene poems in Nuwa Temple to anger the saint.
Even a fool can't do such a thing, so what Di Xin did at this time didn't look like a fool. Moreover, given Emperor Xin's character, Emperor Xin could replace his eldest son Wei Ziqi as the crown prince as his non-eldest son. Presumably Di Xin does have some extraordinary qualities and he cannot be a fool no matter how he looks at it.
I think that the Nuwa Empress is the mother of the human race and the earliest saint who enjoys sacrifices in the human race. It is impossible that Emperor Xin didn't know the status of the Nuwa Empress and wrote obscene poems in the Nuwa Temple. There must be something wrong with it. You must read it carefully. Waiting to see what happened to Di Xin.
At this time, Xibohou Jichang, who was far away in Xiqi, was discussing some shady matters with someone in his mansion.
"My surname Ji comes from the bloodline of Emperor Ku, one of the five emperors who is the great-grandson of the Human Emperor Huangdi. I don't want to, but I can only exist as an auxiliary minister of the Shang Dynasty. My ancestors for several generations have all worked hard to overthrow the Yin Shang Dynasty and become the emperor."
"In recent years, the Eastern Yi and the Southern Barbarians have continued to cause rebellion. I thought that my Ji family's opportunity had come. Unexpectedly, Emperor Xin was a talented man who quickly quelled the rebellion. Moreover, the Yin Shang Dynasty now has Shang Rong, Bigan and others, and Huang Feihu is waiting for my Ji family. I don't know when I will succeed."
"My son, there is no need to worry that our whole Western Zhou Dynasty will get the opportunity sooner or later to overthrow the Yin Shang Dynasty and establish the Great Zhou Dynasty. At this time, it is not the best time to support the people with strong soldiers and horses. There is also the father of the Queen of the Palace, Jiang Huan, the Marquis of Dongbo and Chonghou of Beibo, Chu. The tiger has its wings and I am not an opponent for the time being in the Western Zhou Dynasty."
The voice paused for a moment and then said: "What I need to do now in the Western Zhou Dynasty is to cultivate myself, recruit talents, train the army, and when the time comes, I will raise an army to fight against business.
