Chapter 1004

"Li Yuanming, step down!"

"Li Yuanming, step down!"

...

A mighty voice echoed in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion. It is unknown who said the word 'step down' at first, but now it has been accepted by the majority of the people of the Shang Dynasty.

Standing on the high platform, Li Yuanming looked at the mighty parade in front of him and listened to the neat voices of the people, but he gave a knowing smile.

Maybe the people hate him right now, but his hard work during this period of time has finally achieved brilliant results. The Shang Dynasty survived the crisis and succeeded in "crossing the catastrophe"; the Shang Dynasty further sublimated into "Shang".

It is not the Shang Dynasty, nor the Shang Dynasty. There is only one word—Shang.

The seemingly simple change of name means the historical transformation and progress of the human race. Business is not only a country, not just a collection, it is a nation, but also a dream.

After a while Li Xian appeared; after several months of 'cultivation', Li Xian's complexion has improved a lot.

After Li Xian came to power, Li Yuanming turned around and put the seal in Li Xian's hands. This symbolizes that Li Xian took back the rights in Li Yuanming's hands.

This simple, grand, and even more significant ceremony made countless people cheer and shout long live the virtuous king.

But on this high platform, Li Xian asked Li Yuanming with his eyes - do you regret seeing these cheering people?

Li Yuanming's eyes were full of smiles—the people chose me, and I did not disappoint this country, these people, and this nation. I, Li Yuanming, have deserved such great achievements in my life. What's more, this is not life and death.

Li Xian gave Li Yuanming an encouragement, looked away, and turned to the audience. Yan Ze'an walked up to the high stage amidst the cheers of the crowd, Li Xianxiu took out the seal and put it in Yan Ze'an's hands. From today onwards, Shang's prime minister will be Yan Ze'an.

Li Yuanming's tenure as prime minister was actually only a short half a year.

Yan Ze'an held up the seal, and the people shouted again. The rights of "business" have achieved a peaceful transition and a seamless handover.

Seeing such a scene, business elites and smart people all stared. The prime minister system seems to have an alternative meaning-a head of state who makes mistakes can also be punished!

This is the real "the son of heaven breaks the law and the common people are the same crime". In other countries, although there are such remarks, it is rare and it is an extravagant hope; but here, this is not just a statement, but has been paid. Various implementations.

When Li Yuanming stepped down and Yan Ze'an took over the seal, it also heralded the advent of a brand new 'national form' and a brand new era.

From this day on, there is a system called 'Constitutional Monarchy' in this world, which officially takes root and thrives.

Amidst the endless cheers, soldiers from the newly formed gendarmerie came to the stage and took Li Yuanming away; while Yan Ze'an gave a generous speech.

"An age of freedom has come, an age of dreams has come, an age of democracy has come."

"The same country, the same nation, we have a common dream and a common pursuit."

"All people are united, all will support the sky!"

...

A series of speeches pushed the atmosphere to the climax.

Finally, Yan Ze'an said loudly: "Today, the 'Shang Clan' is officially established. Those who offend our Shang Clan will be punished no matter how far they are, and will be defeated no matter how strong they are!"

"Shang clan, Shang clan, Shang clan..."

A mighty sound swept across the earth. After surviving the 'Earth Tribulation', 'Shang' went one step further, the tyrannical aura seemed to cover up the scorching sun in the sky, and his strong confidence seemed to shake the world.

At that moment, in Shang's Temple of Heaven, the golden light of luck soared into the sky and pierced into the sky; a little bit of innate merit and holy energy formed a burning flame, circling around the pillar of luck soaring into the sky, beautiful and more beautiful. It is extremely holy; the circling flames of meritorious holy energy seem to form a coiled dragon.

Countless people looked up, were shocked, and even more excited.

Under the Temple of Heaven, Ling Zhifeng looked at this miraculous beam of light with great excitement, and the corners of his mouth trembled excitedly - the next step is the catastrophe. After the catastrophe, the Shang Dynasty... bah bah... Shang is about to ascend the whole country !

Yan Ze'an also looked at the soaring light of luck at the location of the Temple of Heaven; the light of luck pierced the roiling evil spirit over Yingzhou, and even began to dispel the evil spirit; a pure, intoxicating blue sky appeared, and this blue sky was no longer The gray sky is not a sky with a little red light, but pure blue, as clear as crystal.

Suddenly, dots of white clouds appeared in the sky above Shang. In the cloudless sky of Yingzhou, those dots of white clouds were so beautiful, even holy.

"There are clouds, there are clouds! It has been at least three years, and I finally see clouds. Is the drought going to pass?"

The people are even more excited and excited, everything seems to be moving towards a better future.

White clouds rolled in the sky, gradually more and more white clouds appeared, and then a large piece of white clouds floated from the eastern sea, more and more white clouds, gradually, the white clouds turned into dark clouds, covering the sky.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning pierced the sky, followed by rolling thunder and lightning. The pouring rain fell with a bang.

"It's raining! It's raining!" The people cheered. They opened their hands and mouths to welcome the long-awaited rain.

There were bursts of thunder, and the dark clouds rolled and spread, and the rain clouds in the sky were like waves, sweeping across the entire sky of Shang crazily; then, stop!

Heavy rain swayed on the land of Shang; however, outside of Shang, it was a sunny day - such a sunny day has lasted for three years.

In the territory of Shang, countless people rushed out of their houses, and the pouring rain drenched their hearts. The drought is over, at least in Shang's territory, the drought is over.

With the heavy rain falling, there is also relatively abundant aura and recovery of luck.

This heavy rain lasted for three days, the dry river roared again, some buds appeared in the dry and cracked fields and mountains, some small animals began to be busy, and fish appeared in the river...

A piece of vitality.

The changes in quotient spread to the surroundings at an unimaginable speed.

At this time, the state of Yue has declined, and the land area that can be controlled is less than ten thousand miles. The army is severely lacking, the supplies are almost exhausted, and the morale of the people is exhausted; while at high altitude, the planes from the merchants are still circling and bombing.

At this time, Qingyun Kingdom is also fragmented, and it has been working hard for several years. Once it returns to the pre-reform, it is even more difficult than before. The territory that used to exceed 50,000 miles has shrunk to about 10,000 miles; there used to be a population of hundreds of millions, but now there are less than 30 million left, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled. Drought, lack of materials, continuous wars, and the impact of the economic crisis, etc., have exhausted the last sliver of life in this country.

The frenzied war in the previous period, coupled with the departure of the Lingyun faction, caused an extreme shortage of masters in Qingyun Kingdom.

Changlin State, the country that wanted to take advantage of the fire to loot it, has also suffered heavy losses and bruises all over its body. In fact, the countries around Shang, even the inland countries of Yingzhou, have suffered heavy losses in this economic crisis.

These countries feel that they can get rid of the "(former) Shang Dynasty" and do it alone, but they don't know the laws of industry and commerce and so on. If it is an era of peace, if it is an era of good weather, it will be fine for all countries to cut off their ties with the Shang Dynasty.

However, under the current environment, the overall arid environment in Yingzhou, they fell out with the Shang Dynasty, but the Shang Dynasty took advantage of the economic crisis to fight against the generals, which eventually led to the collapse of fragile industries and commerce in various countries. Without the support of industry and commerce, the running of various countries has returned to its original state, or even worse.

Among the countries around 'Shang', the better one is probably Hunan. The geographical location of Xiang Country is very superior, with abundant water and grass. Even though Yingzhou has experienced a severe drought for three consecutive years, there are still large tracts of fertile land in Xiang Country.

Not only fertile fields, but many. Most of them asked the queen of Xiang Kingdom, the deputy head of Baihua Valley, and the peerless Fenghua Hua Jieyu to plant a large number of flowers. According to Hua Jieyu, under the premise of ensuring sufficient food, the remaining land would rather grow flowers than food.

This strategy has continued to the present.

But today, the Xiang State intelligence department suddenly received an urgent information from 'Shang' - Shang is going to send troops to attack Xiang State!
