"I really found that Zixiao never seemed to worry about Beiyuan—"
Feng Zhen squinted his eyes, and rubbed the ears of the iron-eating beast with his broad palms, as if asking casually.
"In other words, Zixiao couldn't open his hand after eating Ding Beiyuan Yi's. Is this also the result of your stargazing day and night?"
Only then did Wei Ci look up from the pile of books, but the brush in her hand never put it down.
Feng Zhen stared at his face tightly, as if unwilling to let go of any strangeness.
Wei Ci said with a calm and authentic expression, "Master said, the secret must not be revealed."
Fengzhen: "… "
If Confucius was alive, wouldn't Wei Ci die of anger
"Since when did you say this? Taoism only talks about heaven-"
Feng Zhen couldn't wait to throw the iron-eating beast in his arms on Wei Ci's face, this person was really getting more and more angry.
As everyone knows, Wei Ci can't disclose it at all, and can only be vague.
"Beiyuan is a very interesting country."
Feng Zhen looked bewildered.
interesting
Where's the fun
As everyone knows, Wei Ci's evaluation of Beiyuan is to the point, this country is really too strange.
Beiyuan destroyed the country, not the lord or other princes tossing, they killed themselves.
In the previous life, Wei Ci lived in seclusion in Bianzhou, Zhongzhao, but he was in Taoyuan, and his heart was secular, and he could never let go of the world.
The five kingdoms of the world, Dongqing, Nansheng, and Zhongzhao, these three kingdoms are in full swing.
After His Majesty unified the three giants, she took care of Beiyuan and Xichang.
It took more than ten years to unify the Three Kingdoms, but it took less than a year to clean up Beiyuan and Xichang.
It's not that His Majesty is too strong, it's just that the internal situation of the two countries is too strange.
Let's talk about Xichang first. Xichang is the weakest in military force and the smallest in land area among the Five Kingdoms.
The troubled times came, and the five kingdoms collapsed.
Xichang, the guy at the bottom of the five countries, has become the country with the most princes and the most tragic sacrifice in wars.
According to incomplete statistics, there were no less than 300 uprisings in Xichang, and there were no less than 100 "feudal lords" with names and surnames.
As for the Xichang royal family
The emperor was so poor that even the emperor wanted to farm the land, the queen farmed and weaved to earn pocket flowers, and the former concubines were sold into the fireworks and willow alleys to earn money.
The most powerful princes in the territory, but they do not govern half the state, and the youngest princes only have one village.
That's right -
A village!
With hundreds of people in hand, he dares to call himself a prince!
Xichang died because the forces were scattered and the people were unbalanced.
Crisp as paper-
These words came from the mouth of Fu Wang, the coach of the expedition to Xichang.
What's the funniest thing about it
After Xichang was destroyed, Fu Wang captured the members of the Xichang royal family, and the emperor even offered his three sons to his majesty as male favorites.
[The three sons of the sinner, although they are not young, are all knowledgeable and reasonable. The appearance and temperament dare not compare with the noble son of the noble family, but the ancestors of the sinners used to be in the line of the Daxia royal family, and their bloodline is noble. The three of them fell in the family path, and they were once famous in the imperial capital—]
Humph-
In front of all the officials in the court, the prince of the subjugated country sneered and uttered slander, so angry that Wei Ci couldn't swallow for days.
Your Majesty's dragon body is precious, how dare such a villain dare to think about it
The grumpy General Dian Yin couldn't bear it, and he kicked the man with a dislocated shoulder.
If it wasn't for Fu Wang, Li Yun and others to stop him from killing Dian Yin, this guy would have gone to see the King of Hell long ago.
In the end, His Majesty also fined Dian Yin Ban Yue's salary with a smile, and then rewarded him with a box of gold and silver jewelry.
Originally, I wanted the Xichang royal family to be wealthy ordinary people, but after this happened, they were all cleaned up.
Beiyuan's national strength is only stronger or weaker than Xichang, but His Majesty's time to recover Beiyuan is shorter than Xichang.
This has to mention that Beiyuan, who is famous for his "death", is truly a "wonderful flower" among the five kingdoms in the world.
Before the collapse of the Five Kingdoms, the Beiyuan royal family had already declined, and several major gentry were basically in power in turn, constantly fighting each other for power.
After the collapse, the struggle for power changed more frequently.
In a year, there have been no less than 20 coups d'état, and the shortest duration is only half a day.
The Yi family had the last laugh, destroying the royal family, and adding the dragon robe to the throne as the emperor.
Almost every Yi family's direct line has been crowned a king, and the salary is based on the highest level.
However, this situation did not last long, and Beiyuan quickly became chaotic.
Feng Zhen mentioned earlier that Beiyuan is on the north side, only a few months of the year are warm, and other days are cold.
The harsh environment makes it difficult for crops to survive.
The food produced by the land is small. In order to stabilize the national conditions, the agricultural tax in Beiyuan is naturally the lowest among the five countries, and the government only collects 20%!
In this era, the agricultural tax is already very low, but the people are still lingering on the line of food and clothing.
Turning around to talk about the Yi family, the emperor enthroned dozens of kings and dukes, and the salary expenditure was extremely terrifying.
The treasury could not support it, and the phenomenon of arrears began to appear, and the various princes and dukes made trouble!
In order to appease everyone, they had to raise agricultural taxes and set up complicated tax collection projects, thereby increasing the revenue of the national treasury and distributing royal salaries.
When the tax is heaviest, the government even collects 90% of the agricultural tax, and the remaining 10% of the grain tax has to be exploited layer by layer.
In Beiyuan territory, countless people died of freezing and starvation.
Hearing that His Majesty's iron hoof was about to enter the country, the people from all over the country actually took action to open and close the narrow pass, open the gate of the city, and the soldiers defending the frontier fortress disappeared. If Xichang is as crisp as paper, then Beiyuan is probably air, right
Counting the time, the Yi clan is now fighting for power with several other gentry.
Regime changes are like the change of the sun and the moon, and coups are frequent like a joke.
The Yi family coveted Cangzhou Racecourse, but if they kicked the iron plate, they couldn't really send heavy troops to press the border.
Wei Ci knew this, but she didn't dare to gamble.
After all, Beiyuan's national strength is still strong now, and it was not as crisp as air by the Yi Shi.
Wei Ci was not surprised when he heard that Beiyuan Yi's messenger arrived at Yumen Pass and was summoned back.
Wei Ci's calmness aroused Feng Zhen's attention, so he had the test just now.
As everyone knows, Wei Ci is an old cucumber with green paint.
Where can an old driver who has been driving for decades with a license be told by him
"I heard from the lord privately that she wants to do something to Xu Pei next. Zixiao, don't you think this is too rash?"
"Where did you get in?"
Feng Zhen said while licking the cat, "Xu Pei has some kindness to the lord, if he doesn't handle it well, he will be criticized."
If Jiang Pengji really accepted Xu Fei's request for help, and used this reason to fight against Xu Pei's two armies, she would definitely be criticized, right
In the Huangshui League, Xu Pei once supported Jiang Pengji, and this bond was much deeper than Xu Fei's.
Wei Ci had a smile in her eyes, "If Xu Pei can't hold back first, then you can't blame the lord for not remembering the old feelings."
Feng Zhen's expression stiffened.
How could he forget
What is your master best at
Do something!
Even though the teacher is unknown, she has the ability to make "unknown" into "famous".
