It is already the third year since the founding of Da Chu, and many stories have happened during this period.
The "One Tax Law" and "Qi Min Law" were thoroughly implemented, and the slaves who used to serve the aristocratic families were transformed into land-owning farmers, factory workers, and soldiers of the Chu State.
The aristocratic family's reforms and investments also promoted the development of handicraft factories and socialized division of labor. The improvement in efficiency made Chu's supplies more and more abundant. The aristocratic family lost the ability to threaten the regime with force, but increased its economic influence, officially transforming from a powerful power to a wealthy family.
The popularity of chambers of commerce has enabled the rapid development of Jingzhou, which was already the richest city in the world, and also promoted the integration of Jingzhou and Jiangdong. The unprecedented prosperity of commerce made the people of Chu State even doubt whether they had returned to the peaceful and prosperous times.
The medical school established by Ji Shu was a great success, and the people who benefited from it also promoted the rise of medicine in Chu State. Ji Shu used this to promote the establishment of a national school. The abundant treasury of Chu State provided support to provide three years of free education for children over 7 years old and under 10 years old, teaching them reading, literacy, and the six arts of a gentleman. At the same time, outstanding talents were selected to enter the higher education system. Higher colleges.
The college adopts the theories of various schools of thought and encourages students to think, debate, and study. Therefore, it also attracted some talents from various schools such as Legalism, Mohism, Taoism, Yin and Yang, etc. to pour into Chu, and the literary world of Chu gradually prospered.
Sun Ce also formally established an official selection system that combines the triennial imperial examination with college selection and merit examination. In the past three years, a number of talented rookies have emerged in Dachu, such as Bu Zhi, Ma Liang, Lu Meng, Ding Feng, and Zhu Ran.
In addition, there are some official matters, such as Mrs. Wu's offer to Sun Ce to be a concubine, but Sun Ce refused. As a result, Queen Qiao Xin personally recruited Wenpin's daughter Wen Yu into the palace to be Sun Ce's concubine; General Gan Ning passed by several After years of "journey", she finally married Ji Shu's sister Wang Qingyu in an eight-carriage sedan; Zhou Yu, the most beautiful man in Chu State, and his wife Qiao Wei finally gave birth to a son.
Many of these stories are the stuff of conversation among the people of Chu State after dinner. At this time, the Chu State had an army of 180,000, ranking only third among the Six Kingdoms. However, every Chu State person began to believe that the one who could unify the world must be Chu King Sun Ce.
······
The wooden wheels will cause the seat to feel a lot of bumps in slightly worse road conditions, making the comfort extremely poor.
The backwardness of technology makes parts wear very high, the qualification rate of finished products is too low, and the promotion is poor.
The metal processing technology is immature, the overall body is too heavy, and the practicality is not high.
Ji Shu watched the tricycle being built with a frown, and recorded the trial experience in a booklet. He does not know any advanced skills, but this does not prevent him from applying the knowledge of that era. What he is currently researching is a new means of transportation that can be accepted by the people.
"Oh, no. It's better to ride on horseback or in a carriage!"
Ji Shu lay down on the rocking chair he had just made not long ago as if giving up. The comfortable feeling made his depressed mood quickly dissipate. Not all knowledge can be applied to this era, because the technological level at this time is still too backward, and this is not the first time Ji Shu has failed.
It seems that it can only be kept in the palace for collection and left to the efforts of future generations. What proposition should I choose for the next experiment?
Ji Shu lay leisurely on the rocking chair and took a nap.
"Ziyuan, aren't you going to the palace to handle political affairs in the afternoon?"
I almost forgot about the main business if I took a nap at noon!
Ji Shu woke up with a start and saw Yueying approaching with a big belly, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her.
"Ouch, what are you doing out here? Why don't you just sit in the house and have a good time."
"If you tell me not to move all day, I'll turn into a pig! I'll go out for a walk."
"What's wrong with pigs? They're so cute!"
Yueying rolled her eyes at Ji Shu angrily and pushed him.
"Don't get down to business yet."
"Okay, okay."
Ji Shuying and Yueying rode on their horses and rushed to the palace. When he arrived at the main hall of the palace, he was indeed late, and Sun Ce could not even be found in the main hall.
Ah, second brother doesn’t care? Could it be that he also overslept?
Ji Shu stroked his forehead and asked the palace servants about Sun Ce's whereabouts. Only then did he learn that Sun Shangxiang wanted to build a female army and become a general himself. Sun Ce couldn't stand her teasing and promised that as long as Sun Shangxiang could defeat one of his generals, he would allow her to build a female army. At this moment, Sun Ce took everyone to the courtyard of the harem to host the competition between Sun Shangxiang and Zhou Tai.
What an idea! Ji Shu was dumbfounded.
In my impression, the status of women in ancient times was very low, and men had three wives and four concubines. Although Ji Shu had no intention of taking any trouble, he actually found that the status of women at this time was not as low as imagined. They can receive education and inherit family property equally. The Han Dynasty implemented a system of one wife and two concubines, with the exception of princes. The Qin Dynasty earlier had a monogamous system, and it did not seem that uncommon for women to serve as officials and generals.
But is it really okay to build a female army in this era? Even Ji Shu, who is known as the "Pioneer of Chu's Reform", is a little uneasy.
Ji Shu rushed to the place at a trot. Sun Shangxiang and Zhou Tai had just mounted their horses and started a duel. Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Zhao Yun and others looked back at Ji Shu and nodded, then focused their attention on the duel between the two. Ji Shu also hurriedly walked over to watch.
The deerskin boots are tightly clamped on the horse's belly, an exaggerated long bow and quiver are hung on the horse's back, the exquisite armor fits well, and the long pony tail is swaying in the wind. Sun Shangxiang's eyes were calm and focused, and the spear in his hand was pointed at Zhou Tai.
So heroic! It should be said that it is the transformation of women. A few years have passed, and the little girl back then has now become a slim girl.
The two horses ran towards each other, and Sun Shangxiang and Zhou Tai started a fierce fight.
Very strong! Both of them are very strong!
Ji Shu's eyes showed surprise. Zhou Tai's strength could definitely be said to be at the top of the first-class military generals, only slightly worse than those top famous generals, but Sun Shangxiang could actually fight with him to the point where he didn't want to go up or down.
As the saying goes, "The master leads the door, but the cultivation depends on the individual." Even though Ji Shu knew that she studied under Sun Ce, he never expected that Xiao Xiangxiang was so strong.
No wonder Bo Fu, a girl control girl, dared to let her compete with Zhou Tai.
Being unable to attack for a long time made Zhou Tai put away his contempt and began to use his true skills to press the bottom of the box. After all, he is the leading general of the Chu King's flagship Tiger Roar Camp. If he really loses to a woman, even if this person is Sun Ce's sister, it won't be very honorable, right?
However, in the face of Zhou Tai's stormy attack, Sun Shangxiang remained as steady as a rock. Like a hunter, she lies dormant and stares at her prey, waiting for the moment he reveals his flaws.
Today is different from the past, and Ji Shu couldn't help but secretly cheer from his current perspective.
Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong were not chosen as opponents, which shows that Xiangxiang already has the ability to identify strength. Between the remaining Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai, the relatively calm Jiang Qin was given up and the relatively emotional Zhou Tai was chosen, which also showed Xiangxiang's grasp of the chance of victory.
The two fought for sixty rounds, and Zhou Tai started to become a little impatient.
In fact, this is understandable. It’s not very honorable for a grown man to fight with a woman. The key is that you can’t win! Wouldn't it be more embarrassing if we lost the fight?
Spears crossed, and two horses galloped past.
Sun Shangxiang's eyes flashed, and instead of turning the horse around, he suddenly turned over on the horse. I saw her right foot supporting the bow body, her left hand pulling the bow string, and holding up the long bow. Her right hand quickly took out three arrows from the quiver and put them on the longbow the moment she pulled the string. Without any hesitation, the giant crossbow fired the arrow.
Three arrows were fired in unison, hitting Zhou Tai's shoulders and right leg respectively.
"good!"
Surprise burst out in Huang Zhong's eyes, and he couldn't help but cheer loudly.
But Zhou Tai hurriedly turned his horse around, lowered his head and was about to continue the charge. Suddenly, there were several blasts of wind in his ears, and he suddenly leaned back. Two arrows shot through the air. Zhou Tai's right leg felt pain and he relaxed, and he fell off his horse. Only then did he hear Huang Zhong's cheers.
