Chapter 761: The Sovereign Castle (Part 2)

"He actually dared to do it."

Among the crowd of onlookers, many were shocked when they saw that the imperial guards really dared to do it to the Turks in the entire courtyard, and secretly cursed the Tang King as a madman and unscrupulous.

Of course, there were also people who cheered for Shen Fei and the imperial guards and loudly cursed the Turks. The arrogance of the Turks and other foreigners had long made many people in Luoyang dissatisfied. However, for various reasons, when these foreigners did not make too much trouble, most of the upper class were trying to smooth things over.

Just like what the Confucian family said to Shen Fei before, to show the bearing of a great country, a small country with few people does not know etiquette, does my great country also not know etiquette, after all, the other party is a foreigner.

Being friendly to the outside world and fierce to the inside is a major characteristic of Confucianism. Even if this friendliness sometimes reaches the point of flattery, anyway, as long as the loss is not his interests, it doesn't matter if some people are killed or injured.

"Too hard is easy to break, nothing more." There are also some conceited people in the crowd, who shook their heads in disappointment. As the saying goes, a big country will perish if it is warlike. It is impossible to govern a country too hard. Some seemingly weak actions may not be bad strategies.

If other foreigners leave Luoyang because of the loss of lips and teeth, it will not be a good thing for Luoyang. Business is indispensable for the prosperity of Luoyang. Although foreigners are a little arrogant in Luoyang, it cannot be denied that they have contributed to the prosperity of Luoyang and brought exotic goods.

The so-called closed-door policy, no one would mention it in this era. Only some idiots in later generations would come up with such an idiotic and ridiculous way to maintain their rule.

Shen Fei is naturally even less likely to have such an idea. If these Turks had not made too much trouble this time, he would not have dealt with it in this way.

Considering the situation of the whole country, it is impossible for Shen Fei to kill those foreigners who came to the Central Plains, such as Tuli of the Turks, Fuqian of Tuyuhun, Qu Ao of Tiele, and the disciples sent by Bi Xuan to hunt down Ba Fenghan.

Even if Qu Ao sent his son Ren Shaoming to the Central Plains to make trouble, he couldn't do it openly. After all, Qu Ao was an important minister of the Tiele King. Once he took action, the impact would be great, and it was even possible that Tiele and the Central Plains would go to war.

He was not afraid of going to war, but the difference between standing on the national position and the personal position was very large. Even if he was very strong, he couldn't split himself into thousands of people after all, not to mention that his plan was to make China rise as a whole, not to rely on his personal rise.

As the leader of a force and a king of a generation, if he needed to deal with everything personally, he could be said to be the most failed king.

Just like the navy basically won't send generals to deal with weak pirates, it is impossible for national leaders to deal with the streets and learn to fight.

"The existence of law is to stabilize the country and ensure national security. The law of heaven and earth must be implemented without laziness, even if there is no country to rely on. There are laws to follow, and laws must be followed. Discipline must be strictly enforced, and violations must be investigated."

Looking at the theme of the new Tang Daily, Shen Fei nodded with satisfaction. Killing those Turks who made trouble, although according to the opinions of Qianqian, Dugu Feng and others, it was a bit impulsive, but Shen Fei did not regret it. If he had no power, forget it. Since he had power, he would naturally not allow such a thing to happen.

And it was just the right opportunity to promote the concept of rule of law, indicating that he was not targeting the Turks, but those who violated the law. Under the premise of not violating the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty welcomes guests from any country.

For this article, Shen Fei did not use other people, but took the content that Han Fei had published in the Qin Daily and used it. Of course, some of the content was slightly rewritten, such as adding some modern legal concepts.

"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers, the freshly-published Tang Daily."

Two days later, the newsboys who had undergone simple training were freshly published. These newsboys were basically orphans who had lost their parents. After becoming the King of Tang, Shen Fei immediately began to pay attention to those orphans who had lost their parents, and immediately established several orphanages to adopt these orphans.

There were too many orphans caused by the war, so Shen Fei had to let those slightly older children come out to do some simple work. If this situation were placed in modern society, it would be hiring child labor, and I am afraid that people would criticize it, but in this era, it is charity and favor.

Fortunately, the Yinkui Sect also has some experience in this regard, and the establishment of the new orphanage was very smooth. In fact, the Demon Sect had secretly established a corresponding orphanage to adopt those children. Although the Demon Sect did not have good intentions, it was mainly used to select disciples suitable for becoming the Demon Sect, which is somewhat similar to Ji Wuye's Hundred Birds.

Of course, the newsboys Shen Fei chose were not too young. They were basically thirteen or four years old, and the youngest was only about eleven years old.

"Newspaper, what is that?"

Looking at the newspaper boys selling newspapers everywhere, this new profession, coupled with the fact that newspapers are something they have never heard of, immediately made many people curious and want to see what newspapers are. In addition, newspapers are not expensive, so naturally they don't mind spending money to buy them.

"Rule of law is the foundation of national security."

"The Tang Dynasty will establish six gates from now on to be responsible for pursuit, arrest of thieves and other related matters."

The first issue of Datang Daily did not have much content. After all, this is not a new newspaper. Even if the content is small, people will not worry about buying a fresh newspaper. After all, in this era, no one will sue Shen Fei for monopoly.

"Six Gates, I want to completely separate the army from the local area, and separate the military and political affairs. It is a very good idea, but I am afraid that this will offend everyone in the world."

Song Shidao couldn't help but gasped when he read the content about the six doors in the newspaper, and immediately fell silent. If ordinary people saw this, at most they would think that another department would be responsible for arresting criminals, and they would report the case later. There is no need to go to the government office, but to Liumen.

However, for someone like Song Shidao, he could clearly see the content hidden inside, which made him extremely frightened in his heart.

There is a big difference between ancient local officials and modern times. That is, modern officials are only responsible for urban development, planning, people's livelihood, etc. The military has no right to dictate. Even if soldiers commit crimes, there are military courts. Disposal.

But in this era, it was normal for local officials to be in control of the military and government. It was okay in peaceful times, but once it entered a period of chaos, the situation was different. Just like Wang Shichong, if he could not control the army in Luoyang, how could he have the courage to rebel? .

Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is the aristocratic family. The reason why the aristocratic families in this era are so powerful is not because they control the army. Look at the Li clan, who can easily pull out an army of nearly 100,000 people.

With such a powerful army, it is easy to change dynasties. If the emperor cannot satisfy the interests of the family members, then change him. This is how Yang Guang fell.

Throughout history, before the Ming Dynasty, it was impossible for peasant uprisings to eventually conquer the world. The so-called struggle for the world was just a game for the aristocratic families.

Just like Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms, he did not become the emperor until his death. Why, didn't Cao Cao want to? This is of course impossible. The key is that at that time, Cao Cao being emperor could not satisfy the family members, and the family members were opposed. Even if Cao Cao is very powerful and cannot ignore those aristocratic families.

Looking at Cao Pi, why did he become the emperor so easily after Cao Cao's death? Wasn't it because he agreed to Chen Qun's nine-level Zhongzheng system, and then all obstacles disappeared automatically, and he became the emperor very smoothly.

What is the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System? To put it simply, how big an official you can be depends on how powerful the power behind you is. It does not give any chance to poor families.

Of course, if a poor family takes refuge in a noble family, that's a different story.

"Uncle Lu, brother, what's wrong with you?"

After Song Yuzhi read the newspaper, they looked at each other, and the two people, who were silent at the same time, immediately asked. Compared to Song Lu and Song Shidao, Song Yuzhi was much slower, and naturally he did not see the hidden content in it, that is To deprive the family of control over the army.

From the perspective of the overall situation of the world, there is no doubt that once this goal is achieved, it will be of great benefit to the world. But the problem is Song Lu and Song Shidao. They are members of the Song clan. From a standpoint, they and Shen Fei are the same. Naturally hostile attitude.

"It just depends on my father's decision."

Song Shidao sighed softly as he spoke. From the bottom of his heart, Song Shidao actually agreed with Shen Fei's strategy. I have to say that in this regard, he is really not a qualified heir to a noble family. Looking at Li Shimin, this one is A qualified heir to a noble family.

In the original work, even if Li Clan is so deeply penetrated by the Demon Sect, Li Shimin's first consideration is Li Clan's interests, which is to capture Luoyang and kill Kou Zhong and his young commander's army.

This is not inconsistent with Li Shimin's desire to weaken the power of the family members after he ascended the throne and became the emperor. This was a decision made from different standpoints. As an emperor, he naturally did not want the family members to override him. After all, he was thinking of Li Shimin. The Tang Dynasty has been passed down for thousands of generations. When they grow old, they learn from Ying Zheng and want to live forever.

"Your Highness, you have offended all the members of the family this time. In my turn, I will offer three sacrifices and summon the blue-eyed white dragon to attack." In the palace, Hanhan was playing a card game with Shen Fei. , said slowly while playing a card skillfully.

"It's not all of them. Not everyone can understand the meaning inside. And even if they are all offended, do you think I will care? I give up." Shen Fei looked at the card he had just drawn in his hand, Looking at the cards on the virtual desktop, he felt helpless. He didn't have the ability to print cards like a certain Yu-Gi-Oh.

"That's true. It seems that my worries are in vain. Then please continue to play your game, Your Highness. I'm going to practice. Please hurry up and meet that master concubine Xuan." Huanwan said and left with a smile. .

"They've all gone to practice. It's a pity that I'm still busy."

Playing cards with Hanhan was a bit of a break from Shen Fei's busy schedule. Considering that they would probably be together forever, Shen Fei did not deliberately hide technological things from Hanhan and Dugufeng, and even gave him the martial arts he had collected. He took out some, and of course he did not skimp on the spiritual water made from the Real Person Pill, the Immortal Gathering Pill, the Blood Bodhi, and the Water Spirit Pearl. If he could advance the two of them to Grand Master, it would be a lot easier for him.

As a result, Dugu Feng immediately fell in love with the Holy Spirit Sword Technique and went directly to practice it, while Huan Huan studied Tai Chi and Onmyoji.

Huanwen's receptive ability is very strong. After all, she only needs to know how to use it and what the effects are. It's not like scientists need to know the principles.

"Qing'er has met His Highness." After Huan Huan left, Bai Qing'er walked in. For Bai Qing'er, Shen Fei naturally would not let her know many things like he did to Huan Huan and Dugu Feng. However, he had to admit that thanks to Bai Qing'er, he felt a lot more relaxed. He was worthy of being the person who would be able to found the Jade Girl Sect later on.

Perhaps in terms of the quality of the disciples she taught, Bai Qing'er was far inferior to Huan Huan, but in terms of quantity, she greatly surpassed her. Even Hou Xibai died in her hands later.

Zhu Yuyan doesn't like Bai Qing'er as a disciple very much. She only knows that her practice is a girl's mental method, not a demon's method. However, this is normal. After all, Bai Qing'er was not adopted by Hanhan since she was a child, but from the Demon Sect. Recommended by other sects.

But for Shen Fei, it doesn't matter. It's enough to be talented, work hard, and not violate his code of conduct. After all, he is not qualified to be picky at this stage.

"sit down."

"yes."

Bai Qing'er was not polite. After these few days of contact, Bai Qing'er had already understood Shen Fei's behavior, and then began to report what Shen Fei had told her without any nonsense.

Since he could not find anyone else for the time being, Shen Fei had no choice but to hand over some matters to the Yin Kui Faction, such as the establishment of orphanages, paper mills, glass factories, etc., all of which were handed over to the Yin Kui Faction. .

Although there is paper in this era, it is expensive due to various reasons such as craftsmanship. As for printing, let alone movable type printing, there is no woodblock printing. There are no Mohists, public losers and other sects that are good at mechanical arts, science and technology. Development has almost stagnated, and the so-called books are mainly copying.

"I've worked hard for you during this period. Why don't I have anyone trustworthy under me now?" Facing Bai Qing'er, Shen Fei didn't mind exposing his shortcomings. The education from modern times has destined Shen Fei and the king of this era. There is a very big difference.

"It is an honor for Qing'er to be able to work for His Highness. By the way, the whereabouts of Xu Xingzhi that Your Highness wants to know is currently in Luoyang City."

"This is great, let's go."

After hearing the whereabouts of Xu Xingzhi, Shen Fei stood up immediately. Finally, a master of internal affairs came. Wang Shichong had many military talents. For example, Yang Gongqing and Zhang Zhenzhou were all rare military talents, but In terms of domestic affairs, no one is good at it.

Of course, being able to do so refers to calculating according to his ideas. If you look at Wang Shichong's internal affairs subordinates according to the concepts of this era, they are still qualified.

"The person who dominates the Villa, so that's it. His name is somewhat similar to that of Duzun Castle, but it's a pity that he doesn't have the strength."

Hearing Bai Qing'er talk about the origin of Xu Xingzhi, Shen Fei immediately remembered something. Because of his appearance, Bai Qing'er had to do the things that were originally done by Huan Huan, so he originally dominated the Villa's staff. Xu Xingzhi ran away immediately.

Also because of Shen Fei's appearance, Shuangyong's action trajectory was quite different from the original work. As a result, Du Fuwei's Jianghuai Army obtained Jingling.
