Chapter 153 Old age and long life

After whipping Li Wei, Zhou Ming breathed a sigh of relief. How to deal with the traitor after the punishment became a problem that needed to be solved.

Li Changping, who was gnashing his teeth in hatred, advocated killing Li Wei and pretending that he had never given birth to this beast! Or lock him in a dark place for decades and let him have a taste of that!

Zhou Ming shook his head and rejected her two opinions on how to deal with it. The fundamental reason why Li Wei's character has become like this, and he has become a monster of power, is still related to the environment in which he grew up. The evil cloud above the Ming Dynasty Palace. , has devoured too many people's lives and confused too many people's minds. His son Li Wei is just one of the victims.

"Send him to a civilized country overseas and arrange for a few educators to brainwash him for a few years. If his mind can change, give him another chance. If he is still stubborn, exile him to A desert island, spending the rest of his life on a desert island..."

Zhou Ming's attitude towards all future generations is the same. If he performs well, he will praise him, but he will not praise him to the sky; if he does really badly, he will not beat him to death with a stick, but will give him another reward. Give it one or two chances to correct it.

If it is really hopeless and seeking death, he will not be merciful and will help him.

For example, in the overseas Wen Kingdom, eight of his descendants were exiled by him in more than twenty years. Three of the most heinous ones were hanged in accordance with the law. It was useless for anyone to plead for mercy.

In short, Zhou Ming’s point of view is: future generations are like wheat in a field. Those that grow well and have large and plump grains should be preserved for seeding; those that grow crookedly and do not produce fruit, but instead desperately compete for nutrients, should be eradicated in time. , prevent it from destroying the wheat field ecology.

In addition, Zhou Ming also discovered that human nature seems to be innate. Selfish people will always be selfish, and greedy people will always be greedy. If a person with a violent personality is given a chance to show off, sooner or later he will become violent and lawless... It is much more difficult to change these natures in people than to formulate laws with numerous items and strictly restrict them.

So, to what extent will Li Wei be reformed, and can he still be saved? It depends on his next performance, Zhou Ming will also make corresponding arrangements based on these performances.

After dealing with the deposed emperor Li Wei, who will be the new emperor has become a thorny issue before Zhou Ming and the Queen Mother Changping.

The Empress Dowager Changping hopes that one of her three sons named Xue will be chosen to change his surname to Li and succeed him as the new emperor. It doesn't matter if his abilities are mediocre. The key is to be obedient and not rebel against her!

The ministers and officials discussed it in private and came to the table one after another, demanding that members of the Li Zhou royal family with pure blood be made emperor. Although there were not many members of the royal family, they were killed by Wu Zhao, Empress Wei, and Li Wei. They are rare, but the ministers still found two suitable candidates for reference.

However, in the end, it was a little girl named Li Ruyue selected by Zhou Ming from among the four legitimate children of the deposed emperor Li Wei who ascended the throne despite all the differences.

A pretty, cute, and quite intelligent little girl who is only 9 years old.

The Queen, a young Queen.

Zhou Ming promoted such a character to inherit the artifact orthodoxy of Great Zhou.

Queen Mother Changping was surprised, but after hearing Zhou Ming's explanation, she nodded without objection.

The ministers and officials exploded, saying "ridiculous, ridiculous!", "Nine-year-old girl, do you want to make the whole world rebel?", "Withdraw this decision quickly and choose another king!", "If you insist on going your own way, I will resign and return home to be an old man in the farm"... These memorials are piled up like a mountain, but they are all like mud and cattle sinking into the sea, without a trace of feedback. However, Li Ruyue's enthronement ceremony is being prepared as usual, which is irreversible.

"My minister, Yao Chong, please resign, retire and return to his hometown..."

"My minister Song Jing is old and please resign..."

"Your Majesty Yang Jiuling, please return home to serve your mother..."

"minister……"

Nearly 70% of the civil and military officials in the DPRK resigned within a few days. Empress Dowager Changping all approved and returned the money.

"In "The Rebellious Empress Dowager and the Demon Prince Hua Xi", the one who rebels against the Empress Dowager Li has a promiscuous nature and is like a demon like his mother... The demon emperor Tian Zihua is a man who can bring chaos to the world with his writing..."

""Requesting the Pseudo Imperial Letter for Li Min", Li Min, the prince of Shouchun County, is the grandson of Emperor Zhongzong. He is the posthumous son of Prince Chongjun and is born into a noble family..."

Shortly after Queen Li Ruyue ascended the throne, slogans were everywhere and rebellions broke out everywhere. The voices of sworn crusaders could be heard everywhere in the ten states of the world. Countless magical magicians appeared, claiming that the great Zhou Dynasty was about to be exhausted, and the signs of troubled times were revealed. All over the ten states, The dragon energy rises, waiting for the true dragon to appear...

Amidst the rumors everywhere, countless heroes are eager to try, or raise their flags to rebel, and take direct action, fearing that if they raise their troops too late, the world's dragon spirit will be robbed by others.

However, these heroes, as well as hundreds of rebel armies and hundreds of rebel cities, quickly ceased their activities after hearing the loud noises of "chuchuchu" and "boom-boom-boom". In less than half a year, people lost their heads. They lost their heads, and those who were exiled to desert islands were exiled to desert islands overseas. All the rebellions were quickly put down, and hundreds of magical magicians and rumor spreaders were shot in public trials. After strict speech control, the world's rebellion and Voices of dissatisfaction are almost no longer heard in public.

It turned out that Zhou Ming had launched his "Big Block Plan" as early as the brewing of rebellions in various places. In the ten states of the world, each state secretly deployed a firearms division of 10,000 people, all equipped with repeating machine guns, to carry out close-range operations. After three years of material and ammunition preparation, the original intelligence personnel from Zihua Bookstore were gathered and organized, and they underwent a one-year training and were assigned to 1,000 intelligence stations all over the country. Almost every city with a population of more than 10,000 people had them. An intelligence station was set up, equipped with a radio station that could send signals to two hundred miles away, and a new intelligence network was established that basically covered the entire territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

This new intelligence network can even be so exaggerated that it can transmit a short message of 200 words to all parts of the country within three days.

Therefore, after rebellions broke out in various places, using the intelligence collected by the intelligence stations, the firearms divisions stationed in the ten states of the world immediately dispatched troops to exterminate them. Troops were dispatched according to the number of rebels. If the rebels numbered about 10,000, they would send a thousand troops. If the rebels number around 100,000, the entire division will be dispatched.

If the rebels only have a few hundred or thousands of soldiers, they can just send out a company-sized squad to carry out special beheading operations, kill all the leaders, and the remaining minions will disperse in a rush.

Therefore, during the half-year period during which the "Big Cap Plan" was effectively implemented, ten firearms divisions put down a total of 107 rebellions, killed 18,874 heroes, and captured 550,000 rebels alive. Basically, all the thorn heads were covered. Go down.

In order not to leave any future troubles, these prisoners were all shipped to the overseas Wen Kingdom and sent to deserted islands where the level of cultivation was not high to be cultivated. If they did not work, they would be whipped.

In addition, Zhou Ming also mobilized a team of civil servants from the overseas Wen Kingdom, with a number of tens of thousands of people. According to their talents, they were filled into the Great Zhou Dynasty and various states and counties to serve as capital officials, governors, county guards, etc. For county magistrate and other official positions, these outstanding talents should be used to replace those old-style officials who have resigned and refused to serve, or who have disobeyed the central government and acted in a submissive manner!

Yes! Although he created an overseas literary country, although he was worried about triggering the system's punishment mechanism, and although he was afraid that the game's ratings would be greatly reduced, Zhou Ming never gave up on his hope and efforts to achieve the highest achievements and obtain perfect evaluations.

Therefore, while he was studying abroad, he mobilized countless human, financial and intellectual resources, climbed the technological tree with all his strength, took charge personally, spent more than 20 years and conducted countless experiments, and finally developed yellow explosives and created a continuous fire bomb. Machine guns, produced internal combustion engines, invented wireless telegraphy... Finally, when he was nearly 60 years old, he found a way to intervene in and control the Great Zhou.

"Under what conditions will the system's punishment mechanism be triggered? There are just a few situations: first, the outbreak of a long-term, large-scale, and high-intensity war, resulting in a large population loss that cannot be restored in a short time; second, the economy During the Great Depression, social vitality declined, the mobility of all classes decreased, and there was a pool of stagnant water, and classes were seriously solidified; in Three, the prosperous age was interrupted, the number of celebrities became scarce, ideas changed drastically, and cultural conflicts became too intense, thus changing the original style of this era... …”

Of these three situations, Zhou Ming can find ways to avoid the first two, but Zhou Ming is not sure about the third point. Does this exist within the system's punishment mechanism? If it existed, then his game would definitely receive a very low rating! Difficult to pass.

Because once the holy way of science and education comes out and scientific truth becomes popular, any ancient society will become unrecognizable.

but……

After thinking about it carefully, Zhou Ming believed that there should not be a third penalty provision in the system rules. Even if it existed, the punishment would not be too severe, because in terms of reputation, if you want to get this copy, With high scores, except for the route of entertainment empire and science and education, other routes are not feasible.

Moreover, it is said in the introduction to the dungeon that Huazhang Huazhang and Cacai Zhang are written. If you follow the Entertainment Empire route, the system will not give you severe punishment. If these are all punishments, it is contradictory and there will be no punishment at all. Opportunities for players to get high ratings.

In the previous game, Zhou Ming used the injection mode and played the second mine detection experience as the [Jieduzhao's son]. The fundamental reason for the low score was still that guy. After taking over the world, he was violent and ruthless, killing innocent people indiscriminately. He was not allowed to hear any dissatisfied voice. Under the high-pressure rule, everyone was silent and extravagant. He conscripted a large number of people to work and built things. Just like the First Emperor, he turned the prosperous era of humanities into a It’s hell on earth, it’s strange that the system doesn’t punish.

In this game that Zhou Ming personally conducted, he tried his best to avoid these minefields and did not cause large-scale killings. He carefully carried out the layout and slowly changed the humanities of this era bit by bit. He also encountered fierce confrontations in the process, but he Still, try to weaken the intensity and compress the destructive power to a smaller level.

However, a war in the realm of ideas cannot be decided overnight. Which side the ruling class is sitting on will also bring about huge variables, and even bring about killings like religious wars.

Therefore, after ousting the "Super First Emperor" Li Wei, Zhou Ming supported a nine-year-old girl to ascend the throne, just to control this variable in his own hands, so that the emperor's butt would not be able to sit on his side.

Because those Confucianists, first of all, cannot tolerate a woman sitting on their heads, giving orders, and becoming the object of their "loyalty and filial piety". That is more uncomfortable than eating a fly. If they want to completely destroy science and education, they have to Psychologically, first go through the hurdle of kneeling and kowtowing to a woman.

In order to defeat Confucianism and prevent it from ever recovering, in the following decades, Zhou Ming spent countless resources and ordered people to build more than 3,000 "Gewu Primary Schools" in ten states across the country and implement nine-year compulsory education. , free desks and free books in the teaching building, and a nutritious lunch every day, allowing millions of new children to enroll in school every year. After graduating from elementary school, they can also take the "Gewu University" exam, and after finishing university, they can also participate in The annual civil service examination on geophysics is held to serve as an official in the court, and the admission rate is gradually increased.

Because of their superior talent base, the officials of the Gewu Sect gradually gained an absolute advantage in numbers in the court.

Faced with the "crowd tactics" of science and education, the Confucianists panicked and tried their best to establish "Confucian schools", which also provided free textbooks and nutritious lunches. However, their financial resources were limited. The Confucianists spent all their money and could only establish a "Confucian school". There are more than 300 "Confucian schools" with less than 10,000 new students enrolled each year, only one percent of those in science and education...

More than twenty years later, Confucianism weakened and lingered, and its social influence continued to decline. Those Confucianists began to pin their hopes on the eighty-year-old Wen Emperor Tian Zihua to die of old age soon. After his death, Fortunately, they offered some "loyal advice" to the adult Queen Li Ruyue to eradicate the cancer of science and education! If we don't take action earlier, when science and education become the norm, not only Confucianism, but also the emperor will be asked to hand over his power sooner or later and engage in such a "constitutional monarchy"...

However, another full forty years have passed. Among the old and new Confucianists, they are old, dead, and almost withered away. Among the few old Confucian students, they all hold their breath and carry on until they are ninety. At the age of 12, when he was about to endure the death of the saint, at the saint's birthday banquet celebrated by the whole world, he saw that man's face was red, his ears and eyes were clear, his beard and hair were all white, but his body was strong. When the scientific sage Tian Zihua celebrated his birthday, an old Confucian scholar suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, pointed at him and shouted: "Tian Zihua, why aren't you dead yet?!"

After shouting, the old Confucian scholar fell heavily to the ground, convulsed and died.

At the birthday banquet that was filled with screams, Zhou Ming just glanced at the corpse on the ground and said calmly: "You have been against me for more than fifty years, how could I die before you?"
