Martial Arts: I am in the Ming Cult and I am building a dynasty

But Yang Zhao was not afraid. Every person who could enter the core of the Sui Dynasty had his true spirit incorporated into the Huangji Zhenshi Bell, and Yang Zhao himself possessed absolute military power enough to suppress the world.

Therefore, there is no risk even if civil and military affairs are combined and military and political affairs are integrated.

And after the military and political affairs were unified and turned into the House of Representatives.

Yang Zhao then removed the Censorate, which was responsible for inspecting civil and military officials, from the ranks of civil servants and made it an independent department.

In the future, the Tianyan Division will be composed of a large number of upright civil servants, upright military officers, shadow guards, and even people with a great reputation among the people.

The only role of these people is to monitor the whole country.

Wherever there are shortcomings or injustices, the people from the Tianyan Division can intervene in the investigation unconditionally, and they even have the right to directly enter the palace to make reports.

The Tianyan Division became a sword hanging over the House of Representatives.

Outside of the Tianyansi, Yang Zhao split up the financial power of the court and separated some financial power from the Ministry of Revenue, and set up a special department to conduct a census and dispatch of financial property in order to control the Tianyansi.

The Finance Secretary is then controlled by the Council of State.

Subsequently, a relationship of circular supervision and restraint was formed among the three parties.

With someone constantly urging them to do so, the Council of State, the Department of Heavenly Words, and the Department of Finance must constantly improve their respective performance.

In this way, the entire court will be dragged along and move continuously upwards.

This system.

The moment Yang Zhao finished speaking, the entire court fell into dead silence.

As the court officials continued to hang out in the court, even the military generals who were not very sensitive to politics, all sensed the strong malice under this system.

His Majesty is watching with a whip, and he wants everyone in the court to roll up.

All civil and military officials are in this circle where the three elements interact and restrain each other.

It’s okay if you don’t want to roll.

As long as you stop working hard, it will become the "performance" of those behind you.

It becomes someone else's 'performance', and your rank and treatment are downgraded, so naturally you can't blame others.

Today, the rank and treatment in the Sui Dynasty are very attractive.

Not to mention the already generous salaries of various resources, as well as the earning of additional resources that can only be participated in after the grade reaches a certain level.

The power of national fortune brought by the ninth-rank official position of the Sui Dynasty alone is enough to make anyone crazy.

All-round blessing of longevity, aptitude, fortune, combat power, and cultivation.

If an official rank in the court reaches the third grade, even the Martial Saints will drool at it. If it reaches the second grade, even those at the ceiling level of Martial Saints will fight for it.

As for the first rank in the court and many specially awarded honorific titles, even the most powerful people in the world would be tempted by them.

This is because of lack of ambition and laziness and thus losing rank.

I’m afraid that the ancestors in the family will jump out of their coffins and kill people.

All of a sudden.

Everyone in the court was wailing in their hearts.

We are truly blind. Why should we try to stop His Majesty's grand plan?

What's wrong with spending money?

The money in the national treasury is kept there and cannot be used to make children, so it is spent to strengthen the imperial court.

Isn't it just that when the treasury is out of money, the court has to run more tightly?

The worst that can happen is that we'll be tense for a few years.

Now it’s okay, don’t even think about being lazy anymore.

People are lazy.

During the five years that Yang Zhao was emperor, the dynasty became increasingly prosperous.

The government is peaceful and the people are harmonious, the world is prosperous, and there is even an extremely powerful army to guard the border.

An extremely comfortable environment will breed laziness.

The accumulation of this inertia became an obstacle to Yang Zhao's progress, so Yang Zhao put a steel knife on each person's neck.

Even people like Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui were reprimanded by Yang Zhao.

It's all over.

After being disciplined by Yang Zhao, all civil and military officials quickly adjusted their mentality.

Until then.

Yang Zhao just continued to look at Yuwen Kai and said, "My dear Yuwen, regarding the matter of combining the three formations into one and promoting it throughout the world, you can contact the Council of State."

"All the gold and silver you need are ready. If you find any difficulty, just let me know."

Regarding the changes in the court.

Yuwen Kai didn't care, and even looked at the civil and military officials with disdain, saying: "Your Majesty, it is best for the court to do its best."

"But this project is too huge, apart from the necessary employment of civilians."

"In many dangerous and critical places, a large number of slave warriors are needed to build."

Yuwen Kai's words were quite elegant.

What the other party actually meant was that all those who participated in the construction of the many key points where the three formations were combined into one must die.

So this requires a group of cannon fodder that can be used at any time.

After hearing Yuwen Kai's words, there was another round of discussion in the court.

Civil officials and the like showed a little compassion.

Military generals and the like came here with great excitement.

To get prisoners, slaves, death squads, and cannon fodder, there needs to be enough war.

Gao Shilian, one of the most prestigious leaders among the civil officials, raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "May I ask Master Yuwen, how many slaves are needed for this project?"

Yuwen Kai said casually: "Within three years, we need to have one million slaves, and then increase them every seven years!"

hiss.

As soon as Yuwen Kai finished speaking, the entire court was filled with gasps.

Li Jing poked Chen Zhibao and said, "Old Chen, why do I feel that Yuwen Kai is more like a butcher than you?"

Chen Zhibao: “…”

The civil and military officials were in chaos, and even Yang Zhao was stunned by Yuwen Kai's words.

The other party meant that this project was only used to cast the key points of the formation, and the number of people buried with it would be at least tens of millions.

Even if the people killed and used were all foreign barbarians from outside the Sui Dynasty, it was still shocking enough.

At this moment, many civil servants spoke out again.

Gao Shilian, Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others all said, "Your Majesty, this matter needs further discussion. Too much slaughter is really against the harmony of nature and is not the right way."

Although the generals felt a little chilly after hearing this, they thought about it carefully.

There are tens of millions of them, scattered among millions of soldiers of the Sui Dynasty, and each of them has only a dozen or so.

Then, Li Jing, Yue Fei, Chen Zhibao and others said in unison: "Your Majesty, we petition to expand outward, and we will definitely be able to capture prisoners..."

Chapter 813: The resistance of the civil officials of the Sui Dynasty, the advancement of both civil and military affairs

In order to build the core array that combines the three arrays of the entire Sui Dynasty, all those who participated in the construction must be killed, leaving no trace of trouble.

Because the combination of the Heaven and Earth Formation, the Three Enclosures Formation, and the Zhoutian Formation will be the foundation for the future inheritance of the Great Sui Dynasty.

If the Sui Dynasty could go one step further, it would be upgraded to a dynasty of destiny.

People like Yang Zhao, the concubines, and even many civil and military officials may become immortal and stay in the world forever.

This secret, which concerns the long-term existence of the Sui Dynasty, cannot be taken too seriously.

But there is no doubt that this act of beheading the builders is not much different from the cruel burial practices in imperial mausoleums.

Even more than ten million slaves were needed to build the core array of the Sui Dynasty's three-array combined formation.

Therefore, the debate on this matter suddenly became extremely fierce.

After Yang Zhao's wave of suppression and intimidation, those slightly lazy civil officials now naturally dare not openly oppose the general development path pointed out by Yang Zhao.

However, these civil officials still had many suggestions on the construction method.

Massacre tens of millions, or even more.

This is even more terrifying than the bad influence caused by Bai Qi, the butcher of the Qin Dynasty.

The butcher Bai Qi's massacre of Zhao caused hundreds of years of internal division in the entire Qin Dynasty. Even now, when the Sui Dynasty is at its peak, there are still survivors of the Six Dynasties who are trying every means to resist and assassinate the Qin Emperor Ying Zheng.

There is no doubt that this is destined to become a hidden danger of the collapse of the Qin Dynasty.

Similarly, if the Sui Dynasty continued to capture and exterminate the surrounding ethnic minorities, it might cause the entire Kyushu ethnic minorities to become hostile to the Sui Dynasty.

You know, in the Yuan Dynasty in the north, even though it was in a state of division with each dynasty acting on its own, it could still be called the second dynasty in the world.

It really aroused the hatred of the common enemy among those ethnic groups.

This will undoubtedly lead to those ethnic minorities constantly gathering under the command of Temujin of the Yuan Dynasty, forming extremely strong centripetal force and cohesion.

By then, the Yuan Dynasty will become a terrifying existence that will make all the Han dynasties in Kyushu tremble.

This is a fact that is very likely to happen, not something to be prepared for.

Because of the massacre by Chen Zhibao on the northeastern border of the Sui Dynasty, and the continuous external sweeps by the legion commander under Yue Fei's command after he was stationed there.

Some small grassland tribes have begun to gather towards the Yuan Dynasty further north.

Even the king of Goguryeo had submitted letters of surrender to the Yuan Dynasty several times.

If it were not for the control of the Sui Dynasty, the Eastern and Western Turks would still be powerful today and would have almost broken with the Yuan Dynasty, blocking the Yuan Dynasty's path to the south.

In addition, Yang Guang's blood demon clones and blood demon puppets continued to cause chaos within the Yuan Dynasty.

Perhaps the current Yuan Dynasty has already taken advantage of that small trouble in the northeastern grasslands of the Sui Dynasty and directly sent its army south to start a war with the Sui Dynasty.

Similarly, the customs of the ethnic groups in the southwest of the Sui Dynasty were very different from those of the Han people.

If all these people were arrested and slaughtered as foreigners, it would arouse their resistance and hatred. The Shiwan Mountains, and even powerful enemies in the Western Regions such as Persia and Sindhu in the southwest, would take the opportunity to extend their minions deep into the southwestern region of the Sui Dynasty, posing a huge hidden danger.

This is how a dynasty develops.

Even if the Sui Dynasty had reached its peak power in this area, it was impossible to conquer all living beings by sheer force.

Cultural invasion, ideological transformation, and integration of customs.

In a sense, this is the powerful weapon that can truly conquer those alien races completely.

This dispute between the civil and military officials of the Sui Dynasty lasted for nearly half a month.

As a result, even Yang Zhao was unable to enjoy himself or give up, and had to appear in the court continuously to control the overall situation in the court and prevent the situation from deteriorating to the level of confrontation between civil and military officials.

Finally, after more than half a month of arguing.

It was Lu Miaozi and Huang Yaoshi, who led the Tiangong Workshop and urgently invented and manufactured a puppet that could be used to do physical labor, that finally settled the biggest dispute between the civil and military officials of the Sui Dynasty.

This puppet invented by Tiangongfang combines some of the technologies brought by Zhang Liang and others from the Mohist School of the Qin Dynasty.

He also deceived and abducted some members of the Gongshu clan from the Qin Dynasty, and relied on the special inheritance of Gongshu family to successfully create it.

Compared to burying those large numbers of construction slaves.

If this kind of puppet can be produced in large quantities, it will be able to replace a large part of the slaves and complete more than 70% of the basic work.

In this way, the number of slaves required for the three-array integration project would be greatly reduced.

If necessary, this number can at least be controlled within three million.

If it's just the early stages, you won't even be able to spend a million.

The construction period was extended to ten years.

With the annual consumption of three or four hundred thousand slaves, it would not seem so cruel.
