History of the Great Zhou Dynasty

Chapter 156 Summer Solstice·Five Elements Strategy (4,000)

Nuwa's inheritance is also known as "Luoshu".

Both "Luoshu" and "Hetu" have records of heavenly stems and earthly branches.

However, the two are different.

The "River Map" was created by Fu Xi. It represents the heaven and earth, the universe, and the five directions above and below. It measures the moments seen and tells the way of space. It is countless for heaven and earth.

"Luo Shu" was created by Nuwa. It describes the changes of the four seasons, the alternation of the sun and the moon, determines the unseen rules, and tells the way of time. It is for countless heaven and earth.

His "River Picture", Feng Yunyou, also cultivates the Tao and learns it.

As for the inheritance of Nuwa born in "Luoshu", Feng Yun guessed that there were ten heavenly stems and twelve earthly branches, totaling twenty-two.

What An Feng inherited was the Nv Chou line, one of the ten heavenly stems, also known as the witch path.

The ugly woman is one of the ten witches, and the witch doctor is Peng, who is just one of the ten witches.

His witch doctor is also called Zhu You.

Now Feng Yun has mastered Zhu Youzhong's art of banning poison.

In addition to the art of banning poison, there are also bans on external injuries, internal injuries, the five senses, the vagina, evil spirits, poisonous substances, spiritual consciousness, ghosts, and evil ways.

The ten techniques that make a witch doctor Zhuyou are one method.

Only by thoroughly mastering these ten arts and achieving the witch doctor Zhu You, will the other nine witchcraft methods of this ugly female witch be opened to Feng Yun and obtain the complete witchcraft of Nuwa.

This is what An Feng wants.

The needlework in An Feng's hands paused slightly...

He gently explained: "The art of Zhu You is complicated and requires multiple verifications. When An Feng was on the mission, he studied with the witches. Now, with his own research, he has only learned five categories. I hope he will not hinder Feng."

Jun."

This Nuwa witchcraft requires both Feng Yun and An Feng to master it in order to lead to the next stage. An Feng knew Feng Yun's learning speed, so he hesitated to say it at this time.

After saying that, he looked at Feng Yun, as if asking how much Feng Yun knew at this time.

Feng Yun was ashamed.

"You are allowed to go on this mission, but you are not allowed to study the methods of witch doctors."

"Now I have only mastered the art of Gu, but Patriarch Anfeng can rest assured that in the coming seasons, Baiyue will be recuperating and recuperating. Yun also has the idea of ​​​​leaving the inheritance of witch doctors for Baiyue, and the study of witch doctors will also be put on the agenda.

.”

An Feng nodded and chuckled.

"Feng Jun is knowledgeable and wants to be refined. He only has regulations. I just hope that An Feng will not be overtaken by Feng Jun and be ashamed of Emperor Wa."

An Feng continued to sew clothes. Because he was a newbie, his stitching was slow, but he was very serious and orderly. I admired it.

When Feng Yun saw this, he didn't bother him, but looked out the carriage window at the streets of Xunyang City.

The bright spring sun shone on Feng Yun's profile, his features were solemn and handsome, and his eyes reflected a little bit of light because of the sunlight, like a god.

An Feng quietly raised her eyes, the breeze blew her hair, stirring her thoughts.

He looked deeply, then lowered his head and smiled, taking advantage of the spring breeze to mend the clothes in his hands.

Zou Yan looked at it and felt strange, but he couldn't explain it. He could only follow Feng Yun's advice and took out the "Nuwa October Calendar" he always carried with him and studied it carefully.

Cross the wide loess avenue of Xunyang City and go straight to Xunyang Palace in the center.

Only a few people got out of the car slowly.

At this time, the witch had already brought the taxi in charge of affairs in Xunyang City and had been waiting for a long time.

Feng Yun raised his eyes and looked at the smiling witch.

"How is your trip, Mr. Feng?"

The question was not just about the journey from Aicheng to Xunyang, but about Feng Yun's mission to various countries, handling all the itinerary after Ai City, and after watching Baiyue's current development, he asked whether Baiyue's future actions would meet Feng Yun's expectations.

"Everything is fine."

The witch's smile deepened and she asked: "Master Feng, come into the palace quickly. This Xunyang City is waiting for you to preside over it."

The witch knows that after Feng Yun has dealt with the external crisis, he must carry out an internal cultivation policy, the main core of which is the inheritance of witch doctors, farming and military power.

Farming involves all the people.

Military power, generals command troops.

Only this inheritance needs Feng Yun to preside over the compilation.

Feng Yun nodded.

He will not hold all the power in his hands. The concentration of power in a short period of time is to unify the enemy. If he is in a tense state afterwards, he will not be able to do it. His country will also be depressed because of this atmosphere, which is not conducive to cultivating his voice.

, at the same time, he did not want the future of the Baiyue Kingdom to depend on him alone because of his high power, so as not to lose his tail.

He will leave this farming matter to the Otter Department of Agriculture.

Military important points will be handed over to the Black Panther Department, which is responsible for the war.

"After that, we still need to ask the witches to take care of it together. The witch doctor should be allowed to do it to the younger generation, not as good as the experienced witches."

The witch didn't refuse either.

"Ahem...it is the old woman's wish to continue to work for Baiyue."

Feng Yun frowned and realized that the witch was much older.

"Witch, are you tired from the winter and injured?"

The witch shook her head.

"It's normal for people to grow old eventually. I don't blame Winter. Old woman, if you don't do anything, you'll be tired before you go."

After the witch said this, she took Feng Yun into Xunyang Palace.

This palace has many halls. In addition to official duties, it is also used as a school palace.

Of course, the academy was still too far away for Baiyue at this time.

The people of Baiyue had no written characters, and even if they had the Jiuli phonetic alphabet, it would be difficult for them to learn it. Their schools mostly collected classics and taught witch doctors orally.

After arriving at the main hall, this is Feng Yun's residence, which is the main seat of Xunyang Palace.

"Fengjun, please rest first. I'm tired from the journey. I won't disturb Fengjun today."

The witch took An Feng away.

Feng Yun pushed open the palace courtyard. There was a main room and a side room. Zou Yan only went to the side room and put down his luggage. When he came out, Feng Yun was already packing in the main room.

There were many armored soldiers outside pushing the scrolls and placing them for Feng Yun.

"It's cold in winter, so take another quilt and send it to the side hall."

"promise."

No time to spare today either.

After spending a lot of time settling in, Feng Yun had some leisure time after eating in the evening. He could read a book and write down his thoughts with a pen, summarizing the knowledge of witch doctors...

in this way…

In the land of Baiyue, Feng Yun observed the people's sentiments, learned many ways, and developed Xuanjia thought. He pacified all ethnic groups internally and unified them into a country.

…

Now we finally have internal and external stability and can develop with peace of mind.

He completed his work on "The Kingdoms: Baiyue" and made clear his ambitions to implement the country's policies, thus proving that the Xuan family is feasible and that the Xuan family has sprouted!

…

Time passes, spring passes and summer solstice...

As Feng Yun continued to improve his national policy for Baiyue, the entire Baiyue was carried out in an orderly manner according to Feng Yun's arrangements, and the Jiuli and Ten Departments were also fully operational...

The popularity of the people has increased visibly. The part that was originally reduced due to the addition of Guai's people has become more stable because of Feng Yun's strict law enforcement and Tong Jun's criminal code.

The spring breeze has passed, the summer sun has risen, and the temperature has become hotter. In the dry heat, the entire Baiyue Kingdom has begun to move again, with great momentum.

You can see the golden fields between the fields.

The common people held bronze sickles, bone sickles, or stone sickles in their hands to harvest rice in the fields for use as granary grain.

In order to support the early development of the Baiyue Kingdom, Feng Yun promised that after working for the country for three years, he could rent the land as his own production based on the grain his household produced in these three years, and the production would be taxed at the base of ten and two.

.

It cannot be rented, and if it cannot be farmed, it must be nationalized and redistributed.

If your family has spare time, you can rent the land after review.

If you have the intention to open up wasteland, your farming performance also needs to be reviewed.

All the scholars, officials and ministers in the ten tribes of Jiuli have no land to live in. They all use grain as their salary, which can also be folded into copper shells to buy other things. Their people can also save grain into copper shells, so that the wealth of the country can be

Grain is completely linked.

The salary of the military personnel is not fixed, but it all depends on the total grain output of the year, including the state's tax revenue. The salary is based on the position, which can also be called the profit sharing in proportion.

Its proportions are clear to the people and are at the core.

This method allows scholars to share joys and sorrows with the people. If the country is poor and the people are poor, the scholars will also be poor, and vice versa...

In addition to farming, Feng Yun also set hunting rules, hunting zones, and seasons. It can also be called raising mountain animals and educating the people.

It also set up a market place and set a clear minimum price for goods to allow citizens to develop a sense of trading and circulate goods...

This is Feng Yun's Five Elements Policy "Mu Ce: Farming and Hunting Time", the way to nourish the country!

Feng Yun knew very well that only when the interests of the people are bound to the interests of the gentry, and the interests of the gentry and the people are bound to the interests of the country.

Only the nobles will respect the people and serve the people well.

The country will also protect the nation and people and facilitate their interests.

"Da da da!" In Xunyang City, a soldier galloped on horseback.

"Step aside!"

There is a bronze talisman on his waist, which is important. All the people around him gave way and did not dare to stop him.

"Is the national grain count out?" the people of Baiyue were discussing.

And this armored soldier stopped on horseback in front of Xunyang Palace.

He was running quickly, holding a roll of animal skin in his hand.

"The national food is out!"

Fengyun lived in the main hall of Xunyang, looking at the medical books he had received in the past three months from early spring to summer solstice, and nodded slightly.

Hearing the sound outside the palace, Feng Yun motioned to Zou Yan who was reading on the side.

Zou Yan stood up.

Feng Yun put down the medical book in his hand, and there were only two words "Zhu You" in it.

Next to "Zhu You", there are two books, "Huangdi Neijing" and "Shen Nong's Materia Medica".

On "Zhu You", the literary spirit is billowing, and with a gentle pressure from Feng Yun, it returns to simplicity.

"Master Feng!" As soon as the armored soldier entered the palace, he half-knelt in front of Feng Yun, holding up the animal skin in his hand.

"Master Feng, you did not disappoint. The amount of national food was astonishing. The king personally went to the scene to take notes. Everyone present was stunned and laughed endlessly."

"Please also ask Mr. Feng to take a look."

Zou Yan stepped forward to take the animal skin and handed it to Feng Yun.

Feng Yun took a look - three hundred thousand stones!

"Master, when you go to various countries as envoys, you can't get 10,000 from Han, 5,000 from Tong, 5,000 from Chu, 10,000 from Yangyue, a total of 30,000 shi, but we have 300,000 shi for our own cultivation!"

Zou Yan was amazed and felt that Feng Yun was too tired from traveling to various countries as envoys.

Feng Yun smiled.

"You, this is not the way food is viewed in this country. Could it be that you don't want to eat this food?"

Feng Yun muttered: "Look, in the first three years of Baiyue, due to the policies I implemented, I received half of the national tax, and after that I got two out of ten."

"That is to say, this batch of grain can bring the national treasury 150,000 dan."

Zou Yan nodded, but 150,000 stones is a lot. I have never seen Mr. Tong hesitate for so long for five thousand stones...

Feng Yun picked up a pen and wrote down the tax revenue under the animal skin - 150,000 shi.

Write again.

He also explained to Zou Yan: "In a country, the needs of the people do not need to be provided by the country, but the needs of soldiers must be divided into military pay."

"Military pay, one soldier is worth two stones a year."

"We in Baiyue have ten thousand armored soldiers in Ai, twenty thousand armored soldiers in Yao, and tens of thousands more in other places. They can be combined into a standing army of 40,000 armored soldiers. Their annual requirement is 80,000 stone, which is indispensable.

.”

"Now from 150,000 dan, only 70,000 dan are left."

Zou Yannana.

"Raising soldiers also consumes too much food, but it is indispensable."

Without soldiers, Baiyue would not be able to rest safely.

Feng Yun nodded, and then said: "After this year, Baiyue's troops will need to be cut down. Baiyue has 280,000 people and 20,000 standing troops, which is already a lot."

At this time, Feng Yun was very clear about the standing army of the Kingdom of Zhou Li, which was one in thirty. In other words, one out of every thirty citizens needed to join the army to maintain a country.

Take one of the fifteen Baiyue, which is already twice the size of the Kingdom of Zhou Li. Baiyue was also born of bravery, otherwise its people would have been in mourning.

"Excluding military pay, according to Baiyue's national policy, one of them is for the royal family, the third is for the salary of the nobles, and the fifth is for the national treasury."

"So, the national treasury actually only has thirty-five thousand dan left."

"And these are not unused, they are reserved. In other words, they will be slowly consumed as policies are implemented."

"Now that you are looking at the 30,000 shi, the food obtained from outside, do you still think it is too little?"

After Feng Yun recorded it, he sealed it with a seal.

Zou Yan on the side wrinkled his face.

"What a country needs is really..."

Based on this calculation, the 300,000 dan earned from farming was completely insufficient.

"Master, what can thirty-five thousand stones be used for?"

You know, Feng Yunke is still building cities everywhere, and the expenses are countless.

Feng Yun handed over the covered animal skin and said to the armor soldier who sent the message: "Take it to the Agriculture Department quickly and ask it to arrange taxation, salary, and treasury as soon as possible without delay."

"promise!"

Soldier A received the order and left with the order.

Zou Yan said: "Master Feng, why don't you transfer some salary, especially the salary from the royal family..."

Feng Yun shook his head.

"You can't mess with the rules, especially as the one who makes the rules. Whatever they are, they are the same. You can't do it in vain. Otherwise, the effect will be ineffective, people's hearts will be wandering, and the country will be ruined."

"Alas..." After Feng Yun dealt with the grain order, he took the animal skin and wrote down the instructions for summer sowing immediately after harvesting grain in the early summer.

"There is still too little arable land. The country was in chaos before it was too late, and the people were worried. Now that we have achieved results, it is time to expand farming."

"But you can't just farm and forget about hunting. Hunting is something without fighting, and it's the key to practicing martial arts."

"If the people are brave, then in wartime all the people can join forces and jointly destroy the enemy, so as to show the deterrence of Baiyue and prevent the enemy from invading."

This is the "Gold Policy: Act with Soldiers" in Feng Yun's Five Elements Policy; the gold master's edge... is the way to deter a country.

It is interdependent with "Mu Ce·Farming and Hunting Sometimes".

If there are soldiers to deter, the country will be safe, the country will be safe and the people will be able to grow crops, and there will be soldiers to grow grain and nourish the country. Together with other strategies, it will be in harmony with the alternation of the five elements, interdependence, and endless life...

"Da da da!"

"Report!"

Feng Yun nodded, and the guard outside the door gave way.

The first armored soldier hurriedly came to report: "Jun Feng... the leader of the Bao clan, died..."
