Chronicles of Heaven

Chapter 704: Wu Kingdom (2)

Views:

The Wu Kingdom is changing slowly but firmly, like spring breeze turning into rain.

First of all, the terrain around Tieding Mountain City has changed.

Originally, during the Great Martial Kingdom, Tieding Mountain City was the only mountain within a million miles around. The surrounding fields were flat, and only this square and strange-shaped mountain stood majestically, like a monster entrenched, with majestic momentum.

Nowadays, Tieding Mountain City is surrounded by high mountains and protruding peaks, and there are beautiful scenery everywhere.

The beautiful mountains and waters collected by Yin Yang Taoist, Five Elements Taoist and Canghai Taoist from Yuzhou and other places, under the careful design of Ma Liang, a master of painting, are like a beautiful picture of mountains and rivers, presented around Tieding Mountain City.

The earth veins were suppressed underground by Yuan Qilin with his great magical power, forming an excellent Feng Shui array. The new earth veins gradually connected with the original earth veins around Tieding Mountain City.

The land lines of Juzhou are all covered within a million miles. The area around Tieding Mountain City was already extremely abundant in the energy of heaven and earth. It was like a holy land for cultivation. Now, the concentration of energy of heaven and earth has increased several times.

Yuan Qilin proudly boasted that with the Feng Shui array he had arranged, the ground around Tieding Mountain City would grow faster. The cultivation environment here would become better and better in the future, and it would have the magical effects of prolonging life and increasing fortune and wealth.

In the future, not long after, even a stubborn stone can be nourished by the rich energy around Tieding Mountain City and turn into a peerless jade. It can also breed spirituality, and it is even possible to embark on the path of cultivation and transform into a human form.

Within the territory of Wu Kingdom, the children of various powerful families and wealthy families have been distributed in all directions, replacing the original officials of the Kingdom of Wu Kingdom.

Under their leadership, new cities were built on the land of the Great Martial God that originally seemed a bit lonely and empty, and well-planned villages and towns were also built.

In each of the crude mines and crude shacks, groups of slaves walked out in confusion and fear.

They were assigned to villages, towns, and neighborhoods in the city.

They gathered together in confusion, listening to the lectures given to them by the grassroots officials.

From now on, they are no longer slaves.

They can be well fed and clothed like the nobles of the great Martial Kingdom.

They can live in spacious houses like those noble people, without huddled in mines, crowded in grass huts, or crowded in underground shacks. When it rains, they have a roof to protect them; when the wind blows, they have walls to block the wind; when it snows, they have a charcoal stove to keep warm.

They can walk in the middle of the street like those nobles, and will not be killed by a random knife or simply trampled to death by carriages and horses because they accidentally blocked the nobles' way.

Everything they do in the future will be properly rewarded. Every basket of ore they dug out, every basket of herbs they picked, every tree they felled, every grain they harvested, as long as they shed their sweat, they would receive reasonable compensation.

They no longer have to worry about their children being snatched away and played with by the nobles just because they are too handsome and beautiful.

They do not need to strangle their newly born children out of despair for survival.

They don't have to be as dull as tools, driven by overseers to do numb and hard work.

They do not need to live together like wild beasts, but can form a fixed family, have a fixed spouse, understand their own blood heritage, understand their ancestors, and understand their descendants.

They can live more clearly and soberly.

Their identity information was registered in an orderly manner, the slave brand was removed from their bodies, they were given surnames, names, and identity badges.

The first thing those friendly officials taught them was to remember their geographical location, their new surnames, and their new names.

They are from Wu State, a certain state, a certain county, a certain city, a certain neighborhood... Or they are from a certain township, a certain town, a certain village, so and so.

The first batch of people of the Wu Kingdom who had completed the registration were confused and ran outside the city and village under the leadership of the smiling officials. Vast tracts of land, countless mountains, forests and fisheries, countless mines and medicinal fields, these things all belonged to the noble people of the past.

These officials took them to measure the land, and fairly assigned them farmland, medicine mountains, fisheries, pastures, mines, and workshops according to their skills...

These allocated things belong to them. As long as they work hard and don't lose their fortune, these assets will be theirs from now on. According to the "Civil Law" of Wu State, these assets can be passed down from father to son, and from son to grandson, from generation to generation.

These new people of the Wu Kingdom were at a loss.

Starting from countless generations of ancestors, starting from countless years ago, they have only one thought in their minds - 'I belong to such and such a master'!

They have never had the concept - 'such and such belongs to me'!

'mine'!

This word is so unfamiliar, even a little scary.

But the real things, the newly distributed clothes, the new houses, the food in the warehouse, the large livestock and poultry in front of them, these real things were all registered one by one by the sweaty officials.

These things are their legal property.

It's all theirs.

All of them, 'mine'!

My house, my land... my village, my city... my wife and children, my elders!

The energetic Kong Chengqi came with countless descendants and disciples in high spirits.

They all have magic power and supernatural powers, so building a school shouldn't be too easy for them.

Those children of school age were required to attend school around the clock, and all expenses were paid by the Wu Kingdom government—Wu Kingdom inherited all the assets of the Kingdom of Great Wu, so this expense was just a drop in the bucket.

Those adult citizens, after their daily work, spend some time every day going to night school to learn some of the most basic things.

At least, first get to know their new surnames, first get to know your own names, first learn to write your own names.

Kong Chengqi was almost crazy with excitement.

These people of Wu Kingdom are completely blank sheets of paper, a complete desert of knowledge. Being able to write freely on this white paper, being able to sow seeds at will in this desert... Teaching is addictive.

Being able to become a country's 'Master of the World' makes Kong Chengqi infinitely happy!

Countless enlightenment books were printed and then sent in all directions, ship by ship, to cities and villages.

In the school and in the fields, the sound of stuttering reading could be heard everywhere.

Those younger generations who were educated, literate, and then Kong Chengqi, those disciples and disciples, carefully taught these new people of the Wu Kingdom what loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness were, and what human ethics and morality were.

Tell them what the 'leader of all spirits' is.

Tell them what is the difference between man and beast.

To completely transform a country, things are complicated and hectic.

Busy but energetic, Wu Guo is changing slowly, little by little, like a corpse that has been lying stiff for countless years, slowly recovering with a little bit of heat and a trace of vitality.
