    After the decision was made that day, Emperor Yi ordered Wei Ziqi and Wei Ziyan to go to Wei Di to become marquises.

    Placed 1,800 years later.

    This is called the prince¡¯s vassal status.

    As for the specific fiefdom, Qiao Mu and Di Yi searched for a long time on a relatively hasty map, and finally found an unclaimed land.

    And the area is not big.

    A total of fifty or sixty square kilometers.

    The two people average one point.

    Each person has the power of several large villages.

    It was only then that Qiao Mu knew why his father-in-law did not let Bigan go to the fiefdom.

    And Emperor Yi refused to let Zi Qi go to the fiefdom.

    I really can¡¯t bear to leave them.

    The main reason is that the big merchants have almost no land to seal.

    You must know that Dashang has been enfeoffing the Great Shang for hundreds of years. Although the territory has expanded in recent years, the expansion is obviously not as much as the enfeoffment. This has resulted in less and less land within the Dashang territory that can be enfeoffed, and it is almost difficult to expand it.  Enfeoffment.

    The Shang Dynasty divided its ruling area into two parts: Ji Nei and Ji Wai. Among them, Ji Nei was the part directly ruled by the Shang royal family and was called Wang Ji. Ji Wai was the area where many kingdoms and tribes were distributed.

    Emperor Yi wanted to entrust his children.

    Then we can only find a place in Wang Ji.

    However, places like Wangji have either been enfeoffed by his great-grandfather, or have been enfeoffed by his great-grandfather. There is very little land left, and those nobles who already have land belong to his family.  side relatives.

    It¡¯s not good for anyone.

    Therefore, in recent decades, many sons of emperors have only titles and fiefs, but no fiefs.

    It¡¯s not an emperor¡¯s pick.

    There is really no place to seal.

    If it is entrusted to Waiji, other surrounding vassal states will be dissatisfied. After all, that is their territory. Although they are nominally dominated by the Shang Dynasty, if they really compete for territory with them, many tribes will immediately rebel.  .

    Di Yi can¡¯t hold it for the time being.

    This kind of situation actually happened in the later Zhou Dynasty. By the end of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Zhou royal family had actually no longer been able to seal it. If it continued like this, no other place would be owned by the Zhou royal family except the royal capital.  If it weren't for the fact that most of the great princes at that time belonged to the Ji family, and at the same time no one had the ability to swallow up the world, it is estimated that the Zhou royal family would not have been allowed to survive for hundreds of years.

    "Emperor, the power of the great merchants is getting weaker!

    Although it seems that the Dashang tribe has more and more manpower and is getting larger and larger, in fact Dashang's independent power is becoming weaker and weaker, and it has to rely more and more on other tribes.

    The actual scope of rule of some princes has exceeded the actual scope of rule of Dashang.

    ??If this continues, the tiger will not be able to swallow anyone.

    People have the desire to kill tigers!

    The scope of Ji Zhou's rule has exceeded the actual rule of Dashang, and Ji Chang's wife Taisi is from the former Xia and the queen of Xia. At the same time, their family is a priestly family, and they have a higher say in the priestly group than me.  many.

    We have to change.

    ¡°Otherwise, Dashang may not be able to survive for long.

    "We don't worry about the scarcity but the inequality. How come the predecessors were able to gain the title of marquis because of their merits, but now people can only get an empty title because of their merits?"

    There are no big businessmen with land enfeoffment.

    There is a problem with the foundation.

    Nothing will happen externally in the future.

    Things will also happen internally.  "

    After reading the very scrawled map, Qiao Mu deeply realized the difference in the current situation.

    No wonder the historical records all record it after Emperor Yi succeeded to the throne.

    The great merchants became increasingly weak.

    This is real.

    Di Xin later carried out drastic reforms, conquered the barbarians, and expanded the territory of the Great Shang, probably because he knew that he could not continue like this.

    Rather than waiting to die, it¡¯s better to fight.

    "It's a pity that there are too many things holding us back."

    It ultimately failed.

    "I know, in fact, my great-grandfather and others have already discovered this problem. If it weren't for the lack of land enfeoffment and the fact that the copper mines in the imperial capital became increasingly scarce in the past, my ancestors would not have had to move the capital so frequently.  .

    "However, moving the capital will not last long.

    My father didn¡¯t dare to have too many children.

    ??For fear that there would be no place to entrust them with.

      But in the end there was still no room for them.

    This is also the reason why I endured Bi Gan. If I want to drive him away, I have to give him a fief that suits his status. But where can I find a larger fief for him now?

    The big merchants couldn't help but make trouble.

    But there is nothing I can do.  "

    After listening to Qiao Mu¡¯s words, Emperor Yi also stretched out his hand to touch the rough map and sighed.

    There are some things that he doesn¡¯t know clearly.

    Even if he doesn¡¯t know clearly.

    His father and grandfather would also teach him.

    However, the current situation has become so bad that he doesn't know where to start.

    There is a heart that sweeps the couple.

    But what can you do if you don¡¯t have that strength.

    The current situation was destined as early as when his distant ancestor Tang divided the world.

    The current situation is that if he carries out drastic reforms, then the princes will inevitably rebel. If he does not change, it is estimated that he will not last long.

    It can be said to be a dilemma.

    And he is old and doesn¡¯t want to take risks.

    We can only place our hope on his son.

    ¡°So, you want Zi Shou to come?

    This situation is too difficult now. If you are not careful, it will turn everything upside down. However, we cannot place all our hopes on Zishou.

    That would be too difficult for him.

    Now if you want to break the situation, you must either destroy some princes or completely abolish all princes. No matter which one, you will definitely face the rebellion of many princes.

    Even if we can¡¯t help Zi Shou completely eliminate these difficulties, we can¡¯t hold him back too much.

    You have to at least make some preparations for him, right?

    At present, there should be around 300,000 to 500,000 slaves gathered around Wang Ji. Give me control of those slaves, and I will use them to work and train an army.

    They may be the key to breaking the situation.

    The number of slaves in Dashang should be no less than that of civilians, maybe even more than civilians. This is an extremely terrifying force. If they can be completely controlled, the world will be settled.  "

    Qiao Mu originally didn¡¯t expect that the situation in the Shang Dynasty had collapsed like this. Now she is a little worried that her ability is not enough, or that she may not have enough time.

    So, I decided to help out a little bit.

    Help him with some preliminary preparations.

    It also includes part of ideological education.

    While letting those slaves work, we should also provide them with certain ideological education and agree with them on the requirements for releasing their status.

    "Slave? It's no problem giving it to you.

    But are these slaves really useful?

    Many slaves are uncivilized savages.

    Or they were captured barbarians.

    Some of them can¡¯t even speak.

    It should be very troublesome to use.

    "Also, I don't care what you do with those slaves, what can I do to help you?"  "

    After listening to Qiao Mu¡¯s words, Di Yi felt that he had placed all his hopes on his son.

    He himself did nothing.

    It does seem a bit excessive.

    So I hurriedly asked again.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
