Journey to the heavens starting from the Conferred God - 601

“For the construction of Lutai, the 1 million Ding Zhuangs and craftsmen who have been levied before are enough to use, and the king has levied another 5 million Ding Zhuangs. Is it because he wants to shorten the construction time?”

“Ziya guessed well, the king said, build Lutai as soon as possible!”

Bi Gan said helplessly.

He really didn’t understand why Di Xin was so irritable that Lutai, which could be built normally in a step-by-step manner, couldn’t wait to build it in a few months.

“Shortening the construction time will inevitably squeeze Ding Zhuang, and the burden will be extremely heavy. The five million Ding Zhuangs levied at that time will probably suffer heavy casualties!”

Jiang Ziya was born at the bottom and naturally knew the ability of ordinary people to bear it.

Even if the people of Dashang are physically strong, they enter a mine or are expropriated for digging a river, it will not take long before their physical strength will be squeezed out.

If you don’t take a good rest, you will soon be exhausted.

A normal citizen, digging in a mine, does not have enough food supply, I am afraid that he will not be able to bear it for several months.

“Hey, the king will have an edict immediately, how can it be?”

Bi Gan has a seven-hole exquisite heart and is extremely intelligent, but he is an emperor and a prime minister. It’s okay if there is no formal edict, since there is an edict, he can only take it.

Otherwise, he, the emperor’s uncle, took the lead in disobeying the edict of the king and spread it out, which would be a huge blow to the reputation of the Dashang imperial family and the reputation of Emperor Xin.

As the minister of Tuogu and the representative of the Dashang imperial family in the court, he must put the overall situation first in everything.

Jiang Ziya pondered for a moment, and said: “Since the king has handed over the matter to the prime minister, the prime minister may as well take orders normally, and I will take care of the rest!”

“Build the deer platform and slowly supervise the construction according to the previous plan! If the king asks at that time, I will advise the king again!”

Bigan hesitated, he was very relieved of Jiang Ziya’s ability, so he nodded and said, “Then follow the method Ziya said! Delay as much as possible.”

Soon, Di Xin’s edict came to the prime minister’s mansion.

Bigan took the edict.

In the following time, Chaoge quickly became very lively. A large number of people, Ding Zhuang, were recruited and escorted to an open space in Chaoge East by the Jiashi.

This open space is where the future Lutai will be located. It’s very vast, with hundreds of miles.

Millions of Ding Zhuang are constantly pouring in.

Most of these Ding Zhuangs were slaves who had been promoted and released before, and some were ordinary people who had been forcibly recruited.

Countless young people gathered here.

On their faces, there was confusion and some anger at being forced to levy on them.

Especially those slaves who were released not long ago.

In their eyes, there was a wave of anger and resentment that was forcibly suppressed.

In their view, being expropriated to build Lutai is similar to what they did as slaves before, all of which are hard labor.

The king released them and promoted them to nationals.

They finally got used to the status of a Chinese and barely lived near Chaoge. Some people even found their daughter-in-laws to start a family, and saw a glimmer of hope for the future.

But the sudden enlistment destroyed this hope.

An inexplicable atmosphere passed through these Ding Zhuangs.

“The king renovated the government and promoted slaves. It was the way to bring disaster, and the king recruited so many Ding Zhuangs to do hard labor, already unable to win the people’s trust… there will be troubles in the future!”

Jiang Ziya noticed the atmosphere.

But no matter how strong he was, he could do nothing about this resentment.

All he can do is to arrange the rest time of these Ding Zhuangs as much as possible, and to do a good job of rotation to ensure the safety of the lives of these people.

As Lutai began to be built.

Many dignitaries in Chaoge City seemed to smell a breath, and they had a lot less contact with the princes of the Quartet.

They all know the role of Lutai.

The king is anxious to build Lutai, which means that Dashang is accumulating strength and is ready to send troops to expedition.

Sure enough, as the many powerful and powerful people in Chaoge expected.

Di Xin quickly promulgated the next series of decrees, and these decrees were aimed at the princes of the Quartet, especially Xibo Hou Jichang. Begin to directly restrict the development of Xiqi.

The business routes between Dashang and Xiqi were blocked by numerous barriers.

No armor, weapons, or resources such as grain and grass can enter Xiqi.

Chaoge seems to want to use this method to make Xiqi fall into decline.

However, Xiqi dominates the West. The two hundred western princes are all vassals of Xiqi. A closed loop has been formed. Even without the resources of Dashang, Xiqi can develop on its own.

It’s just that the speed of development has slowed down a bit.

It can be said that Xiqi is already full of wings, and ordinary means cannot do anything to it.

Seeing this situation, the number of decrees issued from the palace gradually decreased, and finally stopped completely.

But this kind of cessation, in the eyes of Chaoge’s discerning people, is a prelude to a storm.

…

Shouxian Palace!

Di Xin’s complexion was calm, without joy or anger, listening to the constant reports of Fei Zhong and Huang Feihu.

Among them, Fei Zhong reported the influence and effect of those recent laws.

As for Huang Feihu, what he reported was the trend of Xiqi’s forces.

“In that case, in a few months, the decree issued by Gu had no effect on Xiqi?”

Di Xin said.

Fei Zhong smiled bitterly, and said helplessly: “The time is too short for the king to forgive the sins. It takes five years and ten years for the king’s decree to take effect!”

“If you want Xiqi to decline immediately, ordinary means, I’m afraid it won’t work!”

When Di Xin heard this, he stood up and walked a few steps left and right.

“too little time……”

He sighed suddenly and said: “Why don’t you understand this truth, but time does not wait. Xiqi has been constantly weakened by the ancestors, and is still growing!”

“If you don’t suppress it as soon as possible, give him another ten years, I’m afraid Dashang will have the entire West belong to Xiqi!”

He stood still. Clenched fists.

“Since ordinary methods are not enough, there is only one way left!”

Di Xin’s gaze fell on Fei Zhong, and he said in a deep voice: “Fei Zhong, you can send an envoy to the Fourth Uncle Hou, saying that there is nothing important to call!”

“Dong Bohou just took over, so let’s not mention it for the time being. The other three uncles, let them come to Chaoge immediately!”

Fei Zhong’s complexion changed slightly, and he quickly took his orders.

Seeing that Di Xin had no other orders, he hurriedly bowed and left the palace.

“Flying Tiger!”

Di Xin’s eyes became softer, and he called out Huang Feihu below.

“If Ji Chang comes to the song, if he disobeys Gu’s order, it proves that his rebellious intentions are clearly revealed. I alone ordered you to be General Zhengxi and attack Xiqi on behalf of Gu!”

“The final commander!”

Huang Feihu’s voice was calm, without the slightest change. However, his eyes became sharper.
