Chu Yao was surprised and asked, "Did the Lord find out too?"
Shen Tang was confused by his question.
What does "she also discovered" mean
Shen Tang never deliberately hides her expression and thoughts in front of people she knows and trusts. Chu Yao knows from her reaction that they are talking about different things. He doesn't keep her in suspense and tells the story openly.
"Earlier at Yonggu Pass, a new barrier appeared after the border barrier was broken, and the flag on the wall was 'Kang'."
The two armies fought and the situation was chaotic.
Not many people pay attention to this detail.
I noticed it, but didn't think much about it.
Except for Chu Yao and other literati.
Shen Tang frowned: "Kang? What do you mean?"
Although she knew about the battle of Yonggu Pass, Chu Jie and his men only described the general situation of the battle between the two armies, the strength of both sides, and the deployment of the military formations, without mentioning these details. She only knew that with Wu's help, a new border barrier was raised.
But I didn’t know that there are some rules for the flags above.
Chu Yao smiled bitterly upon hearing this and said, "Then we need to ask why the Lord chose this name for the country. Why are you asking Yao instead?"
Shen Tang: “…”
Shen Tang was stunned: "When did I decide on this?"
This is totally unfair.
She was just a makeshift team, with only one acre of land, which was a long way from the "country", and the name of the country was even more distant and unattainable. Why was she thinking about this? But Chu Yao didn't look like he was joking.
Chu Yao and Shen Tang looked at each other for a while.
After a moment, she rubbed her brows and said, "Forget it, it's not important. The border barrier reappeared because of Wuyou, and Yan An's way of writing is like that... Just put all this on him. There will be no evidence against him, and it can also help him restore some reputation."
She couldn't reveal herself at this stage.
Slow development is the way to go.
Why is it "Kang"
If you have the ability, go and ask Yan Xingning.
Chu Yao nodded slightly: "That's fine."
This can be considered as a small reward for Yan Xingning.
"Is this all Wuhui wants to say?"
She figured it wasn't that important.
There is no need for Chu Yao to make the trip in person.
Chu Yao shook his head.
His real purpose was to prove something.
He made an extremely bold request.
"Yao is offended. I would like to borrow the Lord's national seal to have a look."
He had been tossing and turning for a while, thinking for a long time, and finally he found in the corner of his memory the possible source of the country's name "Kang" - in the bandit camp outside Xiaocheng, the lord once jokingly named the village - work together to achieve a well-off society.
If so, that would be interesting.
This means that the country’s name was decided at that time!
The answer he wants may be on the national seal.
Chu Yao consulted the classics.
I found that most founding rulers have solid territory and a stable population, and have accumulated enough national fortune. They offer sacrifices to the gods before the founding of the country, and then they can decide on the "national name". My lord is strange, he decides on the national name first, and then gathers national fortune.
The order is completely reversed.
So far, there is no harm.
Shen Tang: "Of course you can."
As the thought moved, the palm of my right hand became hot.
A familiar sword appeared out of thin air. Nine golden dragons in different postures hovered on the hilt, exuding invisible majesty.
In the blink of an eye, it transforms into an exquisite national seal.
Chu Yao bowed slightly, stretched out his hands to take it, and closed his eyes to sense it for a moment. That mysterious look aroused Shen Tang's curiosity. But after a few breaths, Chu Yao suddenly opened his eyes, raised his hand and waved, shouting - "Open."
The national seal turned into flowing light and became a scroll with a golden dragon pattern on a white background, which gently fell into his palm. The two ends of the rope of the scroll were decorated with seals with the words "Wen" and "Wu" respectively.
Shen Tang: “…”
Can this thing be played like this
It was also Chu Yao’s first time and he was not very experienced.
“This is the roster,” he explained.
Shen Tang: "Roster?"
She craned her neck to look over curiously.
Chu Yao untied the string and slowly opened the delicate scroll. On it were rows of words, with the names of Chu Yao, Qi Shan and others listed. Each name was followed by their current position and a string of strange numbers.
only-
"What does this logo mean?" She found that there was a small totem pattern behind everyone's name. Qi Shan, Chu Yao and other scholars had the same one, while Gong Shuwu, Xian Yujian and others had another one. "Is this to distinguish between civil and military officials?"
Chu Yao's answer also confirmed her guess.
"Um."
Shen Tang muttered: "It's quite interesting."
Then he asked, “What about this number?”
"The literary and military fortunes that each person receives are also known as 'salary'."
The national border barrier has been built, and the entire territory is the country.
A steady stream of national fortune will converge on the national seal. National fortune is a good thing, and it concerns every aspect of a country.
For example, national destiny can be transformed into literary destiny and military destiny.
The civil and military officials in the opposition relied on their own cultivation to absorb the energy of heaven and earth, while the civil and military officials in the court could enjoy "salary", that is, literary fortune/military fortune. The national seal would be distributed in order according to the merits and official positions of the officials.
The practice is more efficient and the results are better.
For example, national destiny can change and reverse the weather and climate within the country to a certain extent, but it requires a huge amount of national destiny.
Shen Tang: "Then this scroll is..."
In simple terms -
It is the “Roster of Civil and Military Officials”.
It will allocate literary/military fortune for each month according to each person's official position and contribution, and the records are detailed and clear.
There are two modes: automatic operation and manual operation.
Just to give an example -
If Shen Tang is unfair in rewarding and punishing, and favors someone very much, he can give all the literary and military fortunes from the transformation of national fortune to one person, but he will bear the consequences himself. This is also an important reason why the talents of the royal family descendants are not very poor, and their strength will not be very weak - the king has the right to favor his own bloodline. National fortune is money, it is easy to spend but difficult to earn.
Basically every country is in deficit.
The slightly better scenario is that the market can barely break even.
Once a natural disaster occurs and is not managed in time, the country will fall into a vicious cycle of national fortune loss, national fortune deficit, and natural disasters, and the country will be destroyed. In addition to the king, only the most trusted confidants have the opportunity to read this small scroll.
Shen Tang didn't care either.
If Chu Yao wants to see it, let him see it.
only-
Chu Yao looked at his master's scroll.
He was surprised: "There is a surplus..."
Shen Tang was speechless: "... I was also quite surprised."
The private treasury was in deficit, but the national treasury was in surplus.
She secretly complained that this thing is just like fund stocks. If you don't operate it blindly, the probability of profit is greater than loss.
"But isn't this too long? Who is this?"
Shen Tang thought that the team was just a few people, and he could finish reading it in a few glances. Unexpectedly, this scroll seemed to have no end, and more and more unfamiliar names came into view. However, the numbers behind these names were not big.
"Isn't this a righteous cause? His master is not me..." Shen Tang saw a familiar name with his sharp eyes.
Chu Yao looked at the list and murmured, "It is as expected."
When he was on the battlefield, he discovered that something was not right with the strength of Zhao Feng's troops - although in the past two years they were not simply farming, but combining farming with fighting, and their strength would improve, but such a large increase revealed some indescribable weirdness.
Zhao Feng thought it was because of the wine, but Chu Yao thought there were other external factors. Then he thought of the country name on the border barrier and wondered if the Lord's national seal had a list? Perhaps he could find the answer from it.
I borrowed it and read it, and it was true.
"Why is he up there?"
Chu Yao closed the scroll and smiled helplessly: "Didn't the lord say before that women in the world cannot practice literature or martial arts because there are no women in control of the national seal? This principle also applies to the present. It's not that martial warriors can't practice through farming, but the people who control the national seal don't approve of this method. They think that weapons should be used on the battlefield, and farming is just a way for common people to survive..."
Shen Tang sincerely recognized the efforts of Zhao Feng and others.
It's not that he didn't get his share of military luck, but he only earned it daily, and the amount was not large, so he took the path of steady and long-term success.
All of this was earned through hard work.
"My lord, this is a good thing."
It can be used to appease the two brave warriors transferred from Yonggu Pass. On the surface, the two had no complaints, and they took over the work seriously from Zhao Feng, learning the experience of farming, building kangs, repairing roads and building bridges, but it is hard to say whether they are really convinced in their hearts.
Chu Yao was also worried that this would become a hidden danger.
Now it is confirmed that it will not delay cultivation and can also improve the efficiency of rebuilding Longwu County, which should be able to shut them up completely.
"My lord, you can now rest and recuperate in peace."
From the outside, her soldiers are addicted to farming and their fighting power is slack, but in fact, they are quietly growing and will be able to raise a strong army in a few years. Managing the family assets and accumulating fighting power are both possible, and at the critical moment, they can give the enemy a "surprise"!
Isn’t it beautiful
"I had anticipated that Dayi would resign. Our foundation is weak. Without his and his help, the reconstruction of Longwu County will be difficult and prone to chaos. With this, we can rest assured."
Before getting the answer, Chu Yao had already made the worst plan - if his guess was not confirmed, he would have to use some special means to keep Zhao Feng for another year or two.
Now, everyone is happy, that's the best.
