Chapter 104 This is a lie. Although the new country was just established,...
Although the new nation was newly established, it was not a state of complete disrepair. As early as the tenth year, Fuli had already begun to establish a court structure.
Since Shuzhong, which should not have been unified at this time, has already been unified, and the water conservancy projects that should not have been built at this time have also been completed, Fu Li is not going to follow history in terms of the official structure.
Besides, she didn't know what the court structure of Shu was like during the Shang Dynasty.
If possible, she would like to go all the way and directly jump back to the social system of her previous life.
But with the current productivity and education level of the people, it was obviously impossible. Relying on the cross-era knowledge she had gained from traveling through time, she could take slightly bigger steps, but not too big, as that would only lead to failure.
First of all, the slave society can be directly passed over. Fu Li, who grew up in the new era, absolutely cannot accept treating others as slaves.
The feudal system is more advanced than the slave system.
The feudal system is divided into two types: one is the feudal enfeoffment system, and the other is the feudal county system.
She was the first king of Shu and the founder of all systems.
Even more surprising was that, due to its rugged terrain and surrounding mountains, Shu was permanently isolated from the Central Plains. Neither the tribal leaders nor the people of Shu knew what the Central Plains was like.
What else is there to say? Just go ahead and establish a brand new feudal county system in one step.
As for the division of administrative regions, she planned to adopt a two-level system of counties and prefectures, following the system that she was most familiar with in later generations. She divided Sichuan's eighteen prefecture-level cities and three autonomous prefectures into twenty-one counties, each with a county under it.
Anyway, at this time everyone was unified by her since the tribal period. There was no such thing as ethnic minorities. Everyone was the same, so there was no distinction between autonomy and non-autonomy.
The Tibetan area also follows this pattern. There are seven prefecture-level cities and regions in total, which are divided into seven counties, each of which has its own jurisdiction.
If we consider the area of the territory, the Tibetan prefectures are much larger than those in Shu. However, the Tibetan area is vast and sparsely populated, and its economy is far less developed than that of Sichuan and Shu, so there is no need to divide it into smaller areas.
Since she arrived at the Jinjiang Department, she has been using pinyin to eliminate illiteracy and cultivate talents. Now, nearly twenty years later, talents of all sizes can barely support a set of court structures.
Of course, whether it is central or local officials, the positions cannot be fully filled. Otherwise, how can those who come later make progress?
The flood control project was completed, and Ji Meng gained a lot of merit, finally paying off the debt owed during the war between the witches and the liches.
She originally wanted to return to Zhangyuan to continue her seclusion, but was persuaded by Fu Li to stay and take charge of the Ministry of Works to accumulate more merits.
Ziyun, Taiyi Zhenren's second disciple, was also drafted into the Ministry of Works and became the Right Vice Minister. The group of people who had initially followed Ji Meng in surveying and mapping also joined the Ministry of Works.
As for the Dragon Clan members, Fu Li summoned them individually and assigned them to take charge of the Imperial Guards. Hong Xin was in charge of the Yulin Guards, while Ao Mo'ang, the Crown Prince of the West Sea, was in charge of the Luanyi Guards.
The two princesses of the North Sea chose to follow Ao Mo'ang, while the prince and princess of the South Sea chose to follow Hong Xin.
What surprised Fu Li was that Ao Aoyan, the second prince of the West Sea, did not follow his eldest brother, but chose to follow Hong Xin.
Upon learning of his decision, Fu Li wondered if the West Sea Dragon Clan understood the principle of "don't put all your eggs in one basket." But after carefully observing the two West Sea brothers' interactions, she realized she was overthinking it. Ao Yan simply refused to submit to Ao Moang.
Hong Xin was a perceptive person after all. She noticed her secret observation and told her directly that Mo'ang and Ao Yan were not born from the same mother. Mo'ang's mother was the princess of the North Sea, while Ao Yan's mother was the princess of the mermaid tribe of the East Sea.
The two princesses of the North Sea followed Mo'ang, and the second prince of the West Sea followed Hongxin. To put it bluntly, they chose to stand with their relatives.
Fu Li couldn't help but sigh, "This West Sea Dragon Clan is really chaotic!"
Hong Xin sneered, "Everyone says dragons are inherently lustful, but we royals can at least control ourselves. Only King Shu Ao Run of the West Sea is the most unbridled, and he has countless beauties in his Dragon Palace."
He already has four princes and five princesses, of whom only the third prince Ao Lie and the third princess Cun Xin are born from the same mother, and that's because they were twins.
In just a few words, the chaos in the Dragon Palace in the West Sea was described vividly.
Moreover, the discord between Moang and Ao Yan was already exposed. Fu Li didn't say it, but she had already decided in her heart that whenever she needed to use the dragon clan in the future, she would try not to use the West Sea if possible.
She said to Hongxin, "You can recruit some water creatures on your own. I have only one requirement, and that is that their transformation must be complete, with at least regular features. The Royal Guards are the face of the palace, and they should not be taken lightly."
"Yes," Hong Xin replied respectfully. After a moment's hesitation, she asked, "May I ask, Your Majesty, will you also instruct Brother Xihai to recruit the water tribe?"
Although there is no hatred between the two of them, there is also competition between them.
With the second generation of the Four Seas Dragon Clan following Fu Li, the business between Emei and the Dragon Clan is no longer limited to the East China Sea.
When four families eat from the same family, even brothers will gradually develop grudges. Moreover, the blood ties between the four sea dragon clans are actually very distant.
According to the human race, they were already outside the fifth generation. If not, there would be no need to rely on marriage to bind them.
Ten years ago, when online shopping became popular all over the world, they each formed their own sales teams and went to Mount Emei to promote their own treasures throughout the three realms of prehistoric times.
They are all dragons and live in the sea. Apart from the ice treasures that are unique to the North Sea, the products of the four companies basically overlap, making them real competitors.
Unconsciously, the friction between them increased and the tension between them became stronger.
In other words, the Four Dragon Kings are very shrewd and can maintain superficial peace when they need to unite against the outside world.
How could Fu Li not understand her thoughts? He immediately smiled and said with a straight face, "How is that possible? After all, I am the king of the human race. Of the two squads of guards, at least one must be composed of humans."
Hong Xin immediately understood and bowed again with a smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
As the two were talking, Ling Zhuzi strode in. Hong Xin quickly saluted: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to the Queen."
Being called "Queen" made Ling Zhuzi somewhat uncomfortable, but when he thought that the Queen was Fu Li, he felt secretly pleased.
So, he put on a stern face, bowed modestly and returned the greeting, saying calmly, "General Ao."
Hong was a well-behaved girl. When she saw the queen coming, she immediately took her leave and decided not to disturb the king and queen from spending time together alone.
Seeing Fu Li looking at him with a teasing expression, obviously seeing his previous embarrassment, Ling Zhuzi raised his eyebrows and said teasingly, "Now that you are the king, it feels great, right?"
"Of course." Fu Li didn't hide anything in front of him. "After so many years of hard work, we finally have a result. Who wouldn't be happy?"
Ling Zhuzi sneered and said, "Who would be unhappy?"
His face suddenly fell, and he almost told Fu Li directly: I am very unhappy!
Fu Li has been getting busier and busier these years. After becoming king, he has to shoulder the responsibility of the rise and fall of the country, and his life will only get busier. Will the two of them still have time to be alone together?
Fu Li rushed over without saying a word, wrapping his arms around Ling Zhuzi's neck and legs around his waist, putting all his weight on him. He lowered his head slightly, and they could hear each other's breathing.
"Lingzhuzi, good Lingzhuzi, I know you feel sorry for me and think I'm working too hard. But there are so many people in Shu, and they all trust me so much. I can't just abandon them, right?"
Ling Zhuzi's expression gradually softened, and finally turned into a helpless sigh: "I don't mean to blame you, it's just..."
"Just what?" Fu Li straightened her body and asked while rubbing his cheek.
Ling Zhuzi frowned and said, "It's just that from what I've observed over the years, you're not really suited to the immortal path, but rather the divine path."
The way of immortality emphasizes freedom, doing whatever one wants, and self-cultivation.
But Fu Li has a heavy sense of responsibility. She cannot bear to see the suffering of the people and always wants to do something for them.
If one cultivates the Way of Immortality, this is a burden, but if one cultivates the Way of God, it is perfect.
"Shinto?" Fu Li seemed to be thinking about something.
After a moment, she smiled casually: "Shinto is Shinto, after all, Shinto can also make people live forever, so it won't prevent us from staying together forever."
But Lingzhuzi was still unhappy, and said with a bit of disdain: "There's nothing wrong with Shinto, but if you enter Shinto, you will be driven by the Emperor of Heaven. Can you be happy with that?"
Of course Fu Li was not happy.
Having been a disciple of Jiejiao for so many years, Fu Li's thoughts have been more or less influenced by his fellow disciples of the three religions. He simply looks down upon the Heavenly Emperor established by the Taoist Ancestor.
The three saints of Xuanmen are the direct disciples of Daozu. They, the second-generation and third-generation direct disciples, are the disciples of Daozu from another generation and the direct descendants of Daozu.
As for the Emperor of Heaven and Queen Mother, to put it nicely, they are the registered disciples of the Taoist Ancestor, to put it bluntly, they are just two boys who attend to him.
That would be fine, after all, the strong are respected in the ancient times. The reason why the disciples of the three Xuanmen religions are so powerful is not because they are the direct descendants of the Taoist ancestors, but the most important thing is that they have profound cultivation.
If the Emperor of Heaven and the Queen Mother also have extremely high levels of cultivation, the Xuanmen disciples will naturally submit to them.
But their cultivation level is not even better than that of the three saints. Even the disciples of the three religions are much stronger than them.
In addition, Guangchengzi, Yuding Zhenren, Taiyi Zhenren and Yunzhongzi of the Xianjiao, and Jinling Shengmu, Zhao Gongming and Sanxiao of the Jiejiao, all have higher cultivation levels than them.
How can their disciples obey them?
However, even if she was dissatisfied, Fu Li would not say it out loud.
But she knew that the Emperor of Heaven had the Haotian Mirror in his hand, which could be used to spy on the yin and yang of the three realms except for the places where the saints were.
She still remembered a motto she had learned in her previous life: A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier.
Since she is suitable for the Shinto path, she must reach the peak of the Shinto path!
But before that, she would have to be subordinate to Haotian, so she naturally had to act cautiously from now on.
So, she kissed the corner of Lingzhuzi's lips and said soothingly, "I'm just seeking the Tao. Don't say such harsh words. What's the point of being driven or not? Since the Taoist Ancestor chose him to be the Emperor of Heaven, he must have seen his strengths. We haven't been with him before, so why jump to conclusions?"
At this time, the two were very close, and only Lingzhuzi saw her winking at him.
The two have been together day and night for many years, so there is no need to say much about their tacit understanding with each other.
Lingzhuzi immediately understood: This is a lie!
Then he will naturally cooperate with all his strength.
=====
In the ninth heaven, there is the Lingxiao Palace.
Seeing the two becoming increasingly intimate, the Emperor of Heaven withdrew the Haotian Mirror, his expression relaxed, and he suddenly smiled and said, "Among the direct disciples of the three religions, there are still some who understand things."
