Chapter 1550 Hearing that the grand master returned to the court, the princes of the world shared the court song

Thanks: brother '08a', brother 'I don't want to go to your heart sea' for the reward, thank you Xia Tian.

Time passed by like a fleeting horse, and five months passed in a hurry. The reform of the official system of the imperial court was basically completed step by step.

The Military Aircraft Department and the Sixth Department are both functioning according to their duties, and at the same time have achieved very good results. Compared with the past, the efficiency of handling government affairs has been greatly improved. The entire Wangji area can be said to have truly achieved smooth governance and harmonious people.

'Huang Shaohong' has also gained a lot of prestige because of this, and even faintly has the title of wise king and holy king among the people.

The reason why he is described as "Yinyin" is because there are very few people who call him Mingjun and Shengwang. It is not because his reform is not good, but because his reputation as a foolish monarch is too strong.

Especially after forcibly extorting the two future daughter-in-laws of Xibohou, the title of 'Huang Shaohong' as a faint king is even more prominent, far greater than his theory of a wise king and a holy king.

Even if some court ministers stood up and explained to the king, claiming to have seen the merits and virtues of "King Zhou" with their own eyes, it was also considered by the people to be a lie to flatter the king.

It stands to reason that the meritorious deeds from the heavens were witnessed by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. In his mind, from that moment on, even if he could not be named a holy king, he would still be no match for the Hunjun.

This situation made 'Huang Shaohong' feel a little wrong.

Fortunately, the potatoes planted in the first wave matured in more than three months, and the average harvest per mu shocked everyone.

Let me first talk about the concept of a thousand catties per mu. According to "Hanshu·Shihuozhi", during the period of King Zhen of Zhou, that is, during the Warring States Period, "Li Kui" of the State of Wei once said: "Today, one husband holds five families and governs a hundred acres of land. Take a stone and a half."

The "one stone and a half" here refers to the yield per mu, which means that a family of five who cultivates one hundred mu of grain and millet can produce "one stone and a half" of corn per mu on average in a year, which is equivalent to 180 jin of later generations. .

And this is under the premise that agricultural production has achieved significant development during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods.

In the current "King Zhou" period, agricultural production was even more backward, and the yield per mu was less than one hundred catties.

The output of potatoes has directly increased the world's agricultural output by more than ten times, and the sensation caused can be seen in general.

'Huang Shaohong' has already spread a hundred ways to eat 'potatoes', and the whole city is filled with the smell of potatoes.

(Huang Shaohong: Don’t write nonsense in summer. There are a hundred ways to eat potatoes. I have never eaten so many ways! Summer: Fried shredded potatoes.)

(Huang Shaohong: Wait, where did the Shang Dynasty cook? Summer: Well, boil shredded potatoes, boil potato sticks, boil mashed potatoes, cook shredded potatoes and potato sticks, boil shredded potatoes and mash potatoes, shredded potatoes + potatoes Strips + mashed potatoes, add water to the pot and boil, hey, I seem to say that there are fewer, and there are hundreds of combinations.”

(Huang Shaohong: Do you think these can all be called potato soup? Xia Tian: You can also understand it that way. Huang Shaohong: Damn!)

After proving that the potatoes are edible as 'Huang Shaohong' said, the prime minister 'Shang Rong' held the boiled potato soup and burst into tears:
"Your Majesty's merits are not weaker than the Three Emperors. From then on, our human race will not be famine-free."

'Bigan' also sighed:
"Yes, natural disasters continued in the past few years, and many people died of starvation. From now on, as long as one land has a good harvest, countless people in the disaster area can be saved. Your Majesty's merit is immeasurable, and your deeds are immeasurable!"

From the point of view of civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, although this is a "divine object descended from heaven", how could such a divine object fall without His Majesty's great merit?So this is all the work of His Majesty.

'Jiang Ziya' was smiling with his beard on the side. He felt that he had chosen the right one. This 'King Zhou' was the master. With his own assistant and this fetish 'Potato', how could the common people live and work in peace and contentment with Xiqi as their leader? Xing Yi said.

At this time, "Lao Jiang" no longer believed in the sage's words that "King Zhou" should be destroyed.

The prestige of "Huang Shaohong" among the people also reached its peak. Before the potato harvest, nine out of ten people said that he was a faint king, that he was fatuous and immoral.

But after the potato harvest, the situation has been completely reversed. Now nine out of ten people say that he is a holy king, and only one still thinks he is a foolish king.

'Huang Shaohong' didn't care too much. This foodie just thought it was too monotonous to cook and eat potatoes, so he spread the method of extracting meat oil from animal fat and squeezing soybean oil by hand, so stir-frying, folk diet was born. also began to enrich.

Potatoes have a good harvest, followed by corn and sweet potatoes. The yields of the latter two crops are also gratifying. Although they are the same as potatoes, they are far inferior to those of later generations, but with these three crops, the yields still far exceed the various grains and millets of today.

At this time, the prestige of 'Huang Shaohong' went further in the Wangji area, and the people's admiration for him had reached an unprecedented level. It is the "King Zhou" who can keep the people away from famine.

Some civil officials have even compiled history books, directly listing "King Zhou" as another holy king of the human race after the Three Emperors and Five Emperors.

The strange thing is that even in this situation where the reputation of 'Huang Shaohong' is in the sky, there are still a small group of diehards who spread the idea that he is a faint king, which is very puzzling.

'Huang Shaohong' didn't take these people's fart-like words to heart at all, but when he was free, he always took 'Shang Qingjun', 'Su Daji' and other concubines out of the harem for private visits. I always feel a little upset.

In addition, he felt that there must be tricks behind this, so he ordered the 'Qin Tianjian' to investigate whether there was someone behind it.

As a result, I don’t know if I don’t check it. I’m shocked when I check it. This Chaoge is full of secret works of various princes.

There are more than 100 spies from Xiqi alone. These people have formed a huge intelligence network in Chaoge City. Qi, every move of 'King Zhou' cannot be hidden from Xibohou's eyes.

Although the other princes were not as exaggerated as Xiqi, most of them also placed 'Bangba' inside and outside Chaoge.

After 'Huang Shaohong' listened to the report, he immediately ordered the city to be closed, and then ordered 'Wu Chengwang' to sweep out all these rats from house to house according to the 'register', which is the household registration of the Shang Dynasty.

For half a month, 'Wu Cheng Wang' led people to search through Chaoge City, and then tortured these 'Bang Qian', and registered them.

Afterwards, these 'Bangqiang' rosters were presented to 'Huang Shaohong' for royal viewing.

After reading "Huang Shaohong", I laughed. According to the roster of princes brought by the official department, there were more than [-] princes in the world during the "Shang Zhou" period. Thousands of five hundred princes have taken over.

He couldn't help sighing, as expected, what the next generation said was right, there will always be troublemakers who want to harm me.

Of course, although the [-] princes sent 'Bangcha', not all of them were hostile. They mainly used to investigate Chaoge's movements, understand the king's preferences, and other information collection work.

After torture and interrogation, there were hostile ones, eight hundred of them, and the rest were trying to please the King of Shang.

Those who have been committed to spreading the negative news of "King Zhou" are the "Bangqiang" of the eight hundred princes who are behind the scenes, among which the "Bangqiang" sent by Xibohou "Jichang" and Jizhouhou "Suhu" is the most.

This is the reason for the constant negative rumors about 'King Zhou'. With these people helping him to hype, he can't even keep a low profile, so he feels very helpless.

It is also worth mentioning that from the perspective of time, the "Jizhou Hou" obviously did not become hostile to Chaoge because the "King Zhou" forced him to donate his daughter, but it was premeditated more than ten years ago. .

'Huang Shaohong' immediately ordered people to kill all these 'Bang Qian's' for causing trouble, and ordered the beheading officer to read the crimes of these people in public. , how to allow others to spy.

A few days later, the grand master 'Wen Zhong' finally led the rebellious army and returned in triumph. 'Huang Shaohong' led all the civil and military officials out of the palace ten miles to Yuanmen to welcome the grand master in person.

The 'Grand Master Wen' saw Wang Qi from a distance, and knew that it was the King's personal arrival, so moved, he rode a 'Mo Qilin' from the army into the clouds, landed directly in front of Wang Jia, and got off his horse to worship:

"Wen Zhong pays homage to the king!"

'Huang Shaohong' saw 'Wen Zhong' with white hair and beard, three eyes on his forehead, and a sense of righteousness on his body, so he hurriedly stepped forward to hold him up, and said with a smile:

"The grand master made great achievements in suppressing the rebellion on his expedition to Beihai. He worked hard all the way, so don't be bound by common etiquette!"

'Wen Grand Master' was very moved when he heard the words, and said with a smile:
"Thanks to the grace of the heaven and the earth, the king of the people, Weifu, just wiped out the monsters in the North Sea, Wen Zhong dare not take credit for it!"

Meeting Grand Master Wen, the atmosphere was harmonious, which made 'Huang Shaohong' feel relieved.

Speaking of which, he had an unpleasant past with this avatar projection "Jiutian Yingyuan Leisheng Puhua Tianzun" in "Journey to the West".

'Huang Shaohong' invited 'Wen Taishi' to ride in the imperial chariot, but the Taishi refused, so he had to obey.

On the chariot, 'Master Wen' asked in a low voice:
"Your Majesty asked Kong to spread the message to the old minister, saying that the Marquis of Jizhou had objections. Is this really true?"

'Huang Shaohong' immediately told the story from letting 'Su Daji' into the palace, and told it all the way until 'Wu Chengwang' searched out the 'Bangba' of the world's princes in Chaoge City.

The meaning of "Huang Shaohong" is to show that "Jizhou Hou" has long been against him, not because of "Daji".

After finishing speaking, he also explained: "The grand master doesn't know, but the matter of Daji was originally a misunderstanding."

"Your Majesty's words are absurd!"

'Wen Zhong' stopped 'Huang Shaohong' first, and then said with a cold snort:

"The emperor let the minister die, and the minister had to die, so what if it was not a misunderstanding. Your Majesty let his daughter enter the palace, but to bestow favors. Instead of being grateful to Dade, the old man Su Hu even held resentment and took the opportunity to make trouble. Death cannot forgive the crime!"

"In addition, His Majesty did the right thing in allowing Shang Rong's daughter to enter the palace. If Shang Rong and Ji Chang dared to complain, the old minister would definitely raise the male and female whips and slaughter their clan!"

'Huang Shaohong' eyes lit up when he looked at 'Wen Zhong', loyal minister, great loyal minister, he was very pleased.

'Wen Zhong' suddenly said again:
"The princes of the world are full of wolves and ambitions. In fact, the old minister has noticed their rebellion many years ago, but there has been no evidence. Now that their rebellion has been revealed, I ask your majesty for permission. The old minister is willing to send troops immediately to intercept Jizhou Hou halfway, and then Slaughter the other princes who have objections one by one!"

'Wen Zhong' has such a fiery temper. When he heard that someone wanted to rebel, he didn't even join the Chaoge, so he immediately led his troops to kill Jizhouhou.

'Huang Shaohong' was relieved, and quickly stopped:

"Don't worry, grand master, I have subdued the general army of the world, and the great merchants are safe. As for the princes of the world, I have my own way to deal with it!"

When 'Wen Zhong' heard what 'Huang Shaohong' said, he even asked for a fight again and again. Seeing that 'King Zhou' insisted, he had no choice but to give up, and asked about the gods from heaven.

"I heard that the Valley of the Gods descended from the sky can produce a thousand catties per mu. I don't know if it is true or not!"

'Huang Shaohong' talked about the three kinds of crops, and said that today the palace will hold a banquet to welcome the grand master, and he can eat these three kinds of gods.

'Wen Zhong' was overjoyed after hearing this: "It turns out that the yield per mu is a thousand catties, and God bless me, a wealthy businessman!"

When 'Huang Shaohong' asked about the war in the North Sea, 'Wen Zhong' really praised 'Kong Xuan', saying that 'Yuan Futong' and other princes of Route 72 had the support of the North Sea Demon King and sent a group of North Sea monsters to mix with the rebels.

These monsters all have high magic power, without the help of 'Kong Xuan', it would take him at least ten years of work to completely put down the rebellion.

'Huang Shaohong' heard it strangely, and asked: "Beihai Demon King? I wonder if he has a name?"

'Wen Zhong' said: "I heard that it was a flood dragon who became a spirit in the prehistoric period, entrenched in the North Sea, and was called the Demon King!"

'Huang Shaohong' was startled when he heard the words, and asked: "Has the Demon King ever killed him?"

'Wen Zhong' shook his head and said:

"The demon king has a tortoise shell-shaped spiritual treasure body, which can resist Kong Xuan's five-color divine light and the old minister's five-element magic power. When he sees that the general situation is over, he flees away. , and stopped Kong Xianfeng from pursuing him!"

"Oh? There are treasures that can resist the five-color divine light?"

'Huang Shaohong' thought of the name 'Jiao Demon King', and suddenly his heart moved, could it be that treasure?
He thought in his heart, but praised 'Grand Master Wen' for his decisive handling, as it should be.

'Huang Shaohong' held a banquet in the palace to welcome 'Wen Taishi'. At the banquet, he first asked the servants to read the grand master's achievements and awards, but the grand master flatly rejected them.

'Wen Zhong' said that he was a minister of the former king Tuogu, and what he wanted was His Majesty's wisdom, the prosperity of the human race, and being able to be a king and devote all his energy to the human race is what he has been pursuing all his life.

'Huang Shaohong' also understood the meaning of Wen Taishi, 'Wen Zhong' is a monk, entering the court is part of his practice, what he seeks is the merit of protecting the human race, now he is the top of the people, if he accepts the reward and The heart of his practice does not match.

'Huang Shaohong' understood this, so he stopped talking about the award, and only had a chat with a few military planes and 'Wen Taishi'.

For this banquet, there are fried potato shreds made of potatoes, fried potato shreds, rhinoceros beef with potatoes, corn with pine nuts, charcoal roasted sweet potatoes, and a great harvest of rhinoceros, potatoes, corn and several other crops stewed together. The 'Wen Taishi' who ate it applauded again and again.

When the banquet was over and all the ministers went out of the palace to return home, 'Huang Shaohong' called 'Kong Xuan' to inquire about the 'Jiao Demon King'.

He used the saint talisman to create a barrier, and then asked directly:
"The Flood Demon King was originally the dragon that pulled the chariot of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi in the demon clan's Heavenly Court. Think about it carefully, it is used to resist your five-color divine light, but is it the 'Eastern Emperor Bell'?"

'Kong Xuan' was stunned, and after thinking about it carefully, he said: "I didn't think so at first, but now that I think about it, although it looks like a turtle shell, its breath is somewhat similar to that of the 'Eastern Emperor Bell Hammer'.

'Huang Shaohong' showed joy on his face:
"Don't think about it, it must be the Eastern Emperor's bell shell. That precious 'Dragon Demon King' has no blessing to recognize the master, and can only be used as a weapon. You go and kill him, and bring the bell shell back to me. This time I will Let Monkey, you two are shrewd and skilled fighters, plan ahead before you start, and you will be foolproof!"

Immediately after speaking, the 'monkey' was released, and the two war pets led away.

After 'Wen Taishi' returned, he began to dispatch troops and generals together with 'Wu Chengwang', and deployed them secretly to deal with possible changes in the princes.

As time went by, people from all over the world rushed to Chaoge one after another, and 'Huang Shaohong' ordered the vassal court to arrange the princes, and waited for the princes to gather and meet together.

On this day, the news came that the team of Marquis 'Su Hu' of Jizhou entering Chaoge from the north gate, and half a day later, the team of Marquis Xibo 'Ji Chang' entered Chaoge from the west gate.

What's interesting is that the tens of thousands of Jizhou troops that 'Jiang Ziya' had seen with his own eyes were nowhere to be seen. When he entered the city with 'Su Hu', there were only a thousand troops.

'Huang Shaohong' sent 'Old Pig' out to investigate at night. He searched thousands of miles around but found nothing. The tens of thousands of troops seemed to disappear out of thin air.

After receiving the reply from 'Old Pig', 'Huang Shaohong' who was in the room of 'Su Daji' couldn't help but smiled at 'Daji':
"My cheap father-in-law really has some tricks, and things are interesting!"

'Daji' wanted to intercede for her father, but when she was thinking about how to speak, she heard His Majesty say:
"Let's see how I will avenge you tomorrow!"
