Xu Ren opened the map, "This is the current situation around us. From north to south, they are:
The northern state of Deng is 3,800 li in radius;
The state of Cai in the north, with a radius of… only three rivers and a thousand miles, but the foundation is still there and cannot be underestimated;
To the northwest is the State of Zheng, which is four thousand li in radius;
The state of Chen in the west has a radius of 4,200 li;
To the southwest is the State of Qi, which is four thousand li in radius;
The state of Jin in the south is five thousand miles in radius;
The Liu State in the south had a radius of 3,200 miles.
These countries all have a history of more than a thousand years.
In addition, the current Xiao State is estimated to be around 1,200 to 1,300 miles; if Anyang is not counted, the Tang State is also around 1,000 miles.
Our Anyang is long and narrow from north to south, nearly 2,000 miles from north to south and about 700 miles from east to west. It can be said that the area is about 1,100 miles wide.
There is also the "Later Great Xia Kingdom" formed after the merger of Guangling County, Nanyang County, and Songzhou County, with an area of about eight or nine hundred miles.
In addition, we also have a Wuyang County in the central region, and about a quarter of its area is now in a no-man’s land.”
"Tsk..." Li Xian felt a little sad, "The once prosperous imperial capital has become a lawless area."
After analyzing the situation, Yan Ze'an looked at Li Xian and said, "Master, the series of impacts brought about by the demise of the Great Xia Kingdom have affected the stability of the eastern part of Yingzhou. The decline of the Cai Kingdom and the opening of its borders have spread this chaos to a radius of thousands of miles, and it is still spreading. It can be predicted that in five or six years at most, the eastern part of Yingzhou will be caught in an unprecedented melee. In the end, it is inevitable to redefine the borders, and there may even be a huge empire with a territory of thousands of miles like the central part of Yingzhou, the State of Zhao, and the State of Wei. What should we do?"
It was time for Li Xian to set the tone again. Yan Ze'an asked about expansion and hegemony.
Li Xian turned and left, "Let there be chaos, what does it have to do with us? Chaos is good, as chaos will give Anyang a chance to develop. Expanding territory is my father's business, and we just need to focus on business. Don't forget, our foundation is industry and commerce. If the East is in chaos, we will sell weapons to the entire East; if Yingzhou is in chaos, we will sell arms all over Yingzhou! When others occupy land with force, we use industry and commerce to control Yingzhou! Well, this matter has nothing to do with us for the time being, I'm going to sleep, I've been looking at bird seals for a long time, and I feel dizzy."
Until Li Xian's back disappeared, everyone opened their mouths and suddenly felt speechless; but at the same time they also agreed with Li Xian's statement, yes, the East is in chaos, what does it have to do with us! It's better to be in chaos, after the chaos, Anyang's industry and commerce will have a bigger market!
Back at the City Lord's Mansion, Li Xian was ready to rest. Xia Qingqing said hesitantly, "Husband, Xiao Tao is already sixteen years old."
"Oh." Li Xian responded in a daze, then fell to all fours with his eyes closed.
Seeing this, Xia Qingqing's hesitation immediately disappeared and she repeated, "Husband, my maid Xiao Tao is already sixteen years old."
"I know, I know, my beauty, it's time for us to play the game of goblin fighting."
"You..." Xia Qingqing put one hand on Li Xian's chest, feeling a little embarrassed and annoyed: "You... you really don't understand or are you pretending not to understand! A girl is an adult at the age of 16 and can... get married..."
