Chapter 1224 (1/2)

In serious history, the first emperor Ying Zheng abolished slavery. After unifying the Central Plains, he changed slavery into a feudal system and centralized power at the same time.

In the Fengshen romance, King Zhou of Shang Dynasty also had the idea of centralization. Unfortunately, he was charmed by Daji and did many inhumane things without success.

However, one thing is certain that King Zhou of Shang Dynasty had no idea of abolishing slavery.

It's a big kill.

On the day when Yun Haodong abolished slavery, the fortune of the imperial court of the great Shang Dynasty soared fivefold out of thin air.

Think about it. How many nobles are there?

Slaves and ordinary people are the group with the largest population base. Abolishing slavery only damages the interests of the nobility, and it is a great kindness to the people all over the world.

Because they no longer have to worry about losing the war in military service and being demoted to slavery, nor do they have to worry about making any mistakes, they will be eliminated as civilians and reduced to slaves.

Even some corrupt officials think this is a good thing.

If too many corrupt officials are found, they will often affect the whole family, and the men, women, old and young of the family will be demoted to slaves!

On the night of the promulgation of the decree, a group of court ministers came to master Wen's house all night

”Master Wen, your Majesty's rash abolition of slavery has caused an uproar. Once we can't handle it well, the nobles in Chaoge and the nobles in the princes may riot at any time!”

Shang Rong, Minister of rites and music, said anxiously.

On the contrary, he believes that the decree issued by his majesty will benefit the world, that is, if he takes too big steps, it will easily lead to riots.

Many nobles are nobles because they have many slaves and fields. They can grow, produce, sell food and accumulate wealth only by giving them a mouthful.

But now your majesty has just ascended the throne and wants them to release slaves. Who will plant thousands of acres of land in that family?

Can I have someone?

How much does it cost!

The dissatisfaction of nobles and businessmen is entirely related to interests.

”Now that your Majesty's decree has been issued, we can't take it back. We ministers can only find ways to calm the riots and restore peace in the world.”

As a truncated immortal, Grand Master Wen inherited the concept of equality of all living beings, the founder of Tongtian cult. From the beginning, she despised slavery and just abolished slavery, which can not be decided by a minister.

Even if he is in a high position, it is difficult to make it happen.

Now, his majesty has issued a decree in person, and Wen Zhong naturally won't sing a different tune. What he wants to do most now is to pick out a few pricks and let those who oppose benevolent government see someone's means.

”Wen Taishi, although we have a lot of troops, 800 princes and nobles in various countries have a lot of troops. Your Majesty's abolition of slavery is their root. Maybe we just put out the fire and there was a fire over there.”

Fei Zhong, an uncle and cousin of Zishou, advised him, ”grand master, I don't think the decree should directly affect 800 Marquis countries, but carry out reform in the dynasty song. After handling it here, spread the decree outward and carry out comprehensive reform by boiling frogs in warm water.”

Wen Zhong shook his head and said, ”although this plan is good, your majesty can't wait, otherwise he won't announce the abolition of slavery.”

”This...”

The Bigan, who has seven tricks and exquisite heart, can naturally see that his majesty, without Xu xutuzhi's patience, directly announced the abolition of slavery in order to take strong medicine for a serious illness.

Shang Rong, Fei Zhong and other ministers thought for a while, but did not think of a complete plan.

Helpless.

They can only try their best to put out the fire for his majesty according to master Wen's ideas and deal with the pricks selected to incite the aristocracy to resist.
