Chapter 48 The News

Among all, Song Yu was the oldest, and had two dynasties, King Xiang and King Lie. Although the Xingong clans were headed by the three dynasties, the spiritual leader was still an old minister of the three dynasties. He was at the age of sixty and was at the age of seventy and did not exceed the rules. At the age of fifty, he was a little unwilling to see the destiny of heaven, but at the age of sixty. As for the seventy-year-old man like Song Yu, it was not a question of obedience or not, but a question of whether he became a essence or not.

Xiong Jing only felt the destiny at this time. Song Yu knew that the destiny was in Qin shortly after the end of the Changping War more than 30 years ago. Of course, this is not that he had seen the destiny of heaven before he was in his forties, but that his father had seen the destiny of heaven. This is the difference between having a father and not having a father. The former king passed away too early and his uncle wanted to seize the throne, so Xiong Jing had no chance to accept the teachings of his father. All the clans have their fathers, and the experience of their fathers has been passed down from generation to generation. When they were young, their descendants might have despised and disbelief, so they regarded it as the standard when they were old.

After the Changping War, the destiny of heaven was already in Qin. What if the restoration of the countries? So what if the new policy was implemented? If the Chu State cannot become another Qin State, it will not be able to compete with Qin State for the destiny. Can Chu State become another Qin State? Of course not! If Qin State does not sit idly and ignore it, nor will the prefectures of the county magistrates in Chu State. As a result, the new king ascended the throne and could only follow the trend.

Unexpectedly, after a lot of trouble, the Chu State became stronger. This was something that surprised Song Yu. He saw a new force changing everything and making the sluggish Chu State stronger again. When the Chu army invaded Guanzhong, he began to truly care about the new policies adopted by Chu State, he cared about the candidates for the Queen of Chu, and thought about the future world.

Unfortunately, in the battle between Daze, there is no need to think about these things.

The destiny of heaven cannot be violated. The world has been decayed to this day, but Wu and Yue can only practice Chu government, and the rest do not practice Qin government. Although Ba and Qiang can also practice Chu government, they are not connected to Chu and are easily defeated by the Qin people. What is the war? Isn’t the war fighting the Eastern and Wu and Yue tribes? If these tribes are destroyed, the Chu State will be destroyed.

The sea boats of Chu have already reached the world. Since the king said so well that the world is not done, why not move the whole country to Dongzhou? Moving to Dongzhou can not only avoid the Qin people, but also extend the country's prosperity. What's wrong with it? When the Chu people were not Chu people, their clan members also migrated everywhere. After becoming Chu people, they also moved eastward more than fifty years ago. Since they could move in the past, why can't they move now?

After Song Yu said that, Zhaoshu was still unhappy. Lan She pondered but didn't say anything. Qu Sui wanted to speak but stopped. Only Zi Mo said, "The king must not agree."

"If the king doesn't agree..." Song Yu smiled. "Why set up a separate palace in the south of the city?"

"This?" Zimo was a little surprised, and the rest of the people were also surprised. "The king set up a separate palace in the south of the city, so he married Mi Xuan for his wife."

"If I could destroy Qin, the king would naturally marry Mi Xuan as his queen. However, if Chu destroyed the country, why couldn't Mi Xuan avoid the East China Sea? In the future, the king's only descendant was better than the prince, and then restore the Chu State?" Song Yu still laughed, laughing at everyone's disgrace. "Don't forget, Mi Xuan has already held the seal of building the mansion and inspected it from time to time. The strength of our Chu State is all in building the mansion, and Mi Xuan knows how strong the Chu State is."

"..." Song Yu didn't mention the seal of the mansion. When everyone mentioned the eyes turned sharply, they tried their best to think.

It is common to reward concubines with gold, jade, brocade, and silk. It is indeed against the common sense to reward the seal of the building of the palace. In that place where the rumbling sounds all day long and the black smoke soars into the sky, a woman can inspect anything. If she had not accompanied the king, the court officials would not be willing to go. She would have to take a bath every time she went, and the water was gray and black that was washed down.

"Including the sea boats built this year, there are only two hundred. How many people are carrying 200 sea boats?" Lan She said. It was not that he was ignorant of the problem, but that he felt that it was not feasible to avoid overseas.

"Previously, Gongshujian once said that he could only build 170 sea boats with a large seal, and there would be no one after the construction." Zimo mentioned the incident from the winter of the previous year. At that meeting, he asked to build a mansion and build a sea boat at a quick time.

"This is the incident of the previous year. Last year, this year's great battle, and it is enough to build hundreds of sea boats. But..." Lan She was Zhu Ao, and he was on the rotation last year, and he was still clear about government affairs.

"How?" Except for Zhao Shu, everyone else looked at him.

"The wood has not dried up." Lan She said. "The sea boats built can only be used for a few years and will be destroyed after a few years."

"A few years?" Song Yu's heart was immediately relieved. "It's enough to take one year, why do you need to take several years? Lan Ao thought that if you build a sea boat quickly, how many can you build by the end of next year?"

"The big boat can build thousands of ships a year, and the sea boat can build hundreds of ships a year. However, even if there are thousands of sea boats, it can only carry 300,000 people." Lan She still shook her head. He calculated that it was a sea boat to carry 300 people. "And it should not be too far away. When it came to Hongyang, there were only 150 people in a boat."

"No. Merchants are trafficking in Indian female slaves. It is said that for a long time, they can hold five in one boat..." Zimo knocked on the Chu paper fan and talked about merchants trafficking in Indian female slaves. Seeing everyone staring at him, they still couldn't help but say, "However, they die too much."

"Thirty-hundred thousand people are enough!" Song Yu seemed to have not heard Zi Mo's words. "The palace, the royal family, the officials, the doctors, the honorary scholars, craftsmen, and the witches are only 300,000. This year, the sea boats can be built quickly, and the Dongzhou will be avoided next year and next."

The matter has been decided by Song Yu. He looked at everyone and added: "This matter must be up to the court."

When he finished speaking, Song Yi hurriedly rushed in. He did not avoid the people present and bowed, "Father, the king has come again."

"What news?" The king's previous news article only spoke about divination, but he did not expect that there would be news after this news.

Song Yi only knew that there was news, but he didn't know the content of the news, so his father could not answer the topic. Song Yu had to ask again: "Who is Xunyu?"

"Xun Yu..." Song Yi thought about it before answering. "Mr. Yin Dao, Gongshujian and others all have news, the Queen Mother and Mi Xuan also have news, and the rest seem to be all given to the Grand Sima Mansion..."

At the time of sunset, the pigeon man in Ying almost emptyed the pigeon cage. The person who believed in me was far from the people Song Yi said. Before he finished speaking, the voice of the official came from outside the Taimiao: "I dare to ask where the Taifu is..."

There was Xunwen for Song Yu, Xunwen for Zhaoshu and Lanshe, and Xunwen for Qu Sui. Only Zimo, Zhen Yin Wuxun. He could only pursed his lips and wait for everyone to finish reading and discuss.

"Father..." Song Yi was a junior. He looked at the pigeon news on his father's hand, but the words on it were very small and he couldn't see it clearly.

"The king ordered me to control public opinion. If Daze is defeated, the newspaper will mention it less and not mention it, so as to avoid turmoil among people. He also said that the Qin people should not be afraid of the five oars and big wings. I already have big wing gunboats. I should tell the people quickly to calm people's hearts." Song Yu held his news article, like a banner of victory. "He also ordered me to collect and copy the classics of all countries in the world, so as not to be burned by the Qin people in the future."

"The king ordered me..." Zhao Shu said suddenly, and finally Lan She said, "I will lobby each family and build more sea boats immediately. I will also order me to quickly count the number of students in the county and county schools in the middle school."

"The king asked," Qu Sui finally spoke. "Ask me, the ancestors, the land of the country, and the treasures of the palace, what else should I not be abandoned?"

The news for each person is separate. If you piece together this separate news for you, you can immediately judge the king's intention. Song Yu's judgment was completely correct, but it was a little different. It was not what he said about the royal palace, the princes, the doctors, the honorary scholars, the craftsmen, the witches, the king, the king, the Zhaoshu and others immediately counted the number of students in the school.

Enrolling in school at the age of eight and completing careers at the age of eleven, this is an elementary school. There are middle schools above primary schools, but the admission rate is only 50 and one is one. In addition to the expensive tuition, each student is required to prepare his own war horses, children and slaves. The State of Chu not only prohibits officials, but also prevents problems from happening, and prohibits officials' predecessors: scholars who have achieved success in their studies but cannot make a living.

A family that can pay ten gold tuition a year does not care about how their children make a living after they finish their studies. They do not have to worry about their livelihood. Only those who borrow money from their families and spend money to support their children in school will think that their children will become officials and become prime ministers and become successful. If this son is grateful, he must repay his old debts and supports his clans, and he will inevitably use his power for personal gain; if this son does not repay his kindness, he will be misconduct and be heartless. In the State of Chu, the common people should not take the path of studying, but should take the path of honoring the scholars and joining the army.

Elementary schools are not divided into noble and humble men and women. They enter at the age of eight, middle school people who are not rich will not enter, and college people who are not noble will not enter. Excluding poor middle schools and universities with small numbers, there were more than 200,000 students in Chu State before restoring Ying. In just three years of restoring Ying, only a few counties and towns in the old Ying Dynasty built school buildings, with only tens of thousands of students. Even so, this is already 300,000.

The sea boat is limited, so how can you pretend to be a noble person if you pretend to be a student? Song Yu's face changed immediately. He said unhappily: "How can this be done! Only transfer boys in the school, how can the country of Great Chu survive?"

"The Master Yin Dao also has news. Perhaps the number of boats built by the mansion is not a thousand." Zimo felt a chill. His righteousness is becoming less and less important, because the court officials are all righteousnesses.

"The king once said that he would not go to Dongzhou, but to the island. The island does not go once a year." Qu Sui also said. "This matter needs to be asked by Gong Yindao."

The candles in the Mingtang of Taimiao were lit, and everyone who felt the bone-chilling cold was discussing how to avoid Qin Yuhai; the fire was also lit up in the north of the city, and all the drawings of the large-wing gunboats that had been tested and built before were brought out. If the broken large-wing gunboat was far away in Shouying, Gong Yindao would have boarded the ship in the middle of the night to watch.

"The captain of the gunboat, the width of the ship, and the number of oars are no different from the large-winged warship," Gongshujian said without saying a word. The person who spoke was his nephew Gongshuling. "There is one fifteen kilogram cannon at the beginning and end, and within seventy steps, the boat will be broken."

"Then why not build it?" Gong Yindao asked anxiously.

"First, there was insufficient gunpowder at that time, and the boat army had guns but no medicine; second, the generals and soldiers of the boat army all said that I could hit the enemy boat, so why bother to do this?" Gongshuling explained. He didn't say anything about it. When fighting, the big-wing gunboats did not rush hard, but retreated sharply. They had to deliberately maintain a 70-step artillery distance from the enemy boat. The Chu army hated this way of combat.
