Wu Sheng also returned to Mangdang Mountain, and his offensive strategy against the Jiuzhen Department was suspended. The huge benefits gained in the Dushan Division gave him a bit of indigestion and he had to come back to adjust.
The population increased by seven thousand, the land doubled, and a large number of seizures made everyone under his command eager to return home. Not only his own disciples, but also Yuan Sima wanted to return to Yongguo immediately.
To put it bluntly, morale is gone.
In fact, it doesn't matter to let his disciples return to Mangdang Mountain. After all, from the beginning, the two sworn brothers Dao Nanshe and Huang Feilong were helping. Ah Nuo only joined later, not to mention Yuan Sima, Jin Wuhuan and others. .
But the problem is that the three village leaders also have no intention of going south again. The tribe needs to digest the newly added territory and population. There are too many things involved, which are all waiting for them to go back and deal with them. They all unanimously confessed to Wu Sheng, which means that the tribe is stable. Come to help later, and then help Wu Sheng investigate the case.
Since everyone was eager to share the fruits of victory, Wu Sheng simply gave everyone a break and announced that he would go back to celebrate the New Year and meet again at Mangdang Mountain next spring and summer.
The only one who wanted to stay was Master Dongsun. Wu Sheng understood his thoughts and simply asked him to stay in Xiuyun Mountain temporarily and pay attention to Zhu Zhen's movements.
By the end of the year, Mangdang Mountain had been initially reorganized, and the Changting Pavilion, which represented the feudal boundary of Wu Sheng, was moved eighteen miles north. The Nanguan in the south had already taken shape and could not be moved. It could only be moved to a dangerous mountain pass twenty miles further south. The pass was rebuilt and named Nanxiaguan, and the original Nanguan Village was renamed Nanshanguan.
During this southern expedition, we acquired more than fifty four-horned oxen, more than 300 mountain boars, more than 5,000 goats, and more than 100 ferocious tiger dogs. Half of them were given to the retainers, and half were given to two men. For the people of Country A, the Chinese New Year has not yet come, and the smell of meat is everywhere in Mangdang Mountain.
Especially on the 23rd, Wu Sheng, under Lu Fang's strong suggestion, killed a pig in front of the main peak manor to sacrifice the ancestors of the Shen family - according to the rules, he was not qualified to kill three animals.
According to Lu Fang, the Kingdom of Shen has been destroyed. Among the people of the Shen family that he has ever heard of, Doctor Shen is the most prominent, so he should take on this responsibility. Just like Lu Fang, if he wants to show his surname, he must start from now on. Revise your family tree and inherit your heritage.
At this point, there was no choice but to make up a bunch of names of Shen's ancestors. The top one directly wrote the name of Shen Gongbao. Lu Fang didn't know who Shen Gongbao was, but since Alchemist Shen said yes, that was good.
Two days later, Wu Sheng left Mangdang Mountain in a four-horned ox cart. According to custom, the officials of the Qing Dynasty need to pay tribute to the monarch every year and pay tribute. This is their tax.
But the monarch exempted Wu Sheng, who went to Mangdang Mountain to open up wasteland, so Wu Sheng only brought a cart of Baiyue specialties as a gift, which was a jar of spiritual wine brewed with snakes, scorpions, centipedes, spiders, clams and other poisonous substances.
Wu Sheng returned to China and received high-level treatment in Shangyong, similar to a coach who won a great victory after going on an expedition. Outside the city, he boarded the ceremonial chariot sent by the monarch, which was pulled by three horses - this was the highest regulation for a high official. He grabbed the rope on the chariot and stood solemnly. This is called "standing at attention and holding the ribbon."
After standing at attention, the ceremonial chariot drove into the city gate. The city suddenly became noisy. The armor commanders of each army took out their war drums and beat the jubilant drum music. The Chinese people spontaneously gathered by the road and burst into bursts of cheers and singing according to the rhythm of the drum music. , to pay high respect to this doctor who has won them a lot of benefits and glory.
The ceremonial carriage passed through the streets and alleys until it arrived at the palace gate. Qingyu led the officials to stand in front of the gate and thanked Wu Sheng. Wu Sheng quickly jumped out of the car and bowed to the monarch and the officials. Then he was tightly held by Qingyu and entered the palace hand in hand.
After more than 30 years of moving to the country, this was Dayong's first achievement in expanding the country. Not only did the territory double, the population also increased by 30%, countless seizures were made, and the national strength greatly increased.
After the meeting between the monarch and his ministers was over, Qingyu took out two edicts and asked Wu Sheng: "I plan to promote a group of national scholars and nationals. What do you think?"
After Wu Sheng read it, he said to Qingyu: "This edict should be the beginning of the resurgence of Dayong. I would like to congratulate you!"
The first edict was to ask the ministers of each family to submit a list of newly elected disciples. The monarch would grant the status of a national scholar. Each year, up to three senior officials could apply, two middle officials, and one junior official. Of course, Wu Sheng was an exception. This edict is equivalent to opening the door for people to be promoted to national officials.
The second edict is to evaluate the village chiefs in the savage villages. As long as they meet the standards of paying the monarch's taxes every year, the whole family can be promoted to nationals, and the village will elect a new village chief. In this way, more than 30 households of Chinese people can be added to the country every year, setting it as a first-class household. This edict opened the way for savages to be promoted to the people of the country.
Qingyu also took out a map and showed it to Wu Sheng. He planned to build a new city wall outside the city and expand it beyond the outer city. The newly added Fang Jia every year would be moved into the outer city and classified as the First A and Second Jia of the attached city... in order. Sort it out.
"After the promulgation of my edict, refugees from all over the country will surely flock to Dayong, so I will take out the land and build more savage villages. After a few years, there will be more savage villages, and the number of new villages will increase every year. Many people believe that in ten years, Dayong will become a country of hundreds of times!" Qingyu was very excited.
Breaking the inherent shackles of class and letting talented people at the bottom rise to the top was a strategy that Qingyu had set when he was a young master. Now that he has been on the throne for a year, and after his position is stable, he has finally taken this step in a substantial way.
Wu Sheng was also happy for him and boasted: "Your Majesty is truly enlightened, and I will congratulate you. It will not take ten years, maybe five years, for me to become a country of hundreds of chariots."
Qingyu hurriedly asked: "What do you mean by your words?"
Wu Sheng pretended to be angry and said: "Why do you only care about your homeland? Why do your generals and ministers forget about it? You must know that Mangdang Mountain is also your land, and the people of Mangdang Mountain are also your subjects! Could it be that you don't want your ministers anymore?"
Qingyu grinned widely and apologized to Wu Sheng: "I was wrong, please don't be upset!"
Wu Sheng then said: "After the demise of the Dushan tribe, a large number of Dushan tribesmen poured into Mangdang Mountain to seek protection from Dayong. Your Majesty, you must not forget them. Now there are two nationals in Mangdang Mountain. Your Majesty also just said forget……"
Qingyu hurriedly said: "It's my fault!"
Wu Sheng added: "I plan to follow the emperor's edict and implement this policy in Mangdang Mountain. People with meritorious service and talent will also be selected as nationals. Within five years, I can appoint ten armors for you. In this way, Isn’t it just ten times more?”
Qingyu was very happy: "Then I will give you the top ten!"
Wu Sheng struck while the iron was hot: "There are already two armors in Mangdang Mountain, but we still haven't got a chariot."
Qingyu said: "I will immediately ask Gong Yin to build a chariot. Within the year... no, I will allocate it from the treasury. I will allocate the chariot to you first!"
A chariot is an important weapon of the country. It is forbidden to own a chariot privately without the permission of the monarch. Asking for a chariot is the main purpose of his return to the country. Otherwise, he and Zhuo Wuzi have such a good relationship, and he would have paid Zhuo Wuzi for help. Built a car.
After achieving his goal, Wu Sheng excused himself from the palace and returned to Yongrentang. There was an endless stream of visitors coming to his door, which immediately put him in a social crisis.
