Fang Lita's succession as Lord Zhaochen is a blockbuster for the entire Eternal Heaven Kingdom.
Although the whole process was indeed reasonable and legal, after all, Fang Lita was Lord Zhaochen's own son, and this succession was also recognized by the royal family, but no matter how you looked at it, it was obviously suspected of taking advantage of loopholes. Fang Lita has been imprisoned by Yunyang for a long time, and the executives appointed are all from the Yunyang family. At this time, it is meaningless to argue about the rationality of the process. Anyone can see that Zhaochen is already It has completely turned into Yunyang's back garden.
The strange thing is that everyone can see it, but no one territory is willing to jump out and say it.
Everyone is watching.
The Royal Family will admit that this change of power is already very strange. The three top-ranked territories of Xiqin, Nanchu, and Lingwu have also remained silent together. This made all the territories have a bad feeling, the rain is about to come, and Zhaochen's incident may be just the beginning, it seems that the top-ranked territories are going to join forces to make a big news.
Sure enough, not long after Lide returned to Yunyang, the prime minister in white, Umi, issued an announcement:
"Eternal Heaven Kingdom has subdivided thirty-six territories since its establishment. The original intention is to strengthen local governance capabilities, so that widows, widows, and lonely can have their own care."
"It has been passed down for thousands of years, and the development of each territory is uneven. The stronger the strong, the nobles have a hopeful field; the weaker the weaker, the people have no place to stand."
"The power of the world, divided for a long time, must be united, and only the virtuous live there. I have visited Tiancheng, Shangtai, Qingquan and other territories, and what I saw and heard was shocking. The red land is thousands of miles away, the people are cut off, and the bones are cooked, and the sons are eaten. In the sky Vultures linger around, and skeletons can be seen everywhere on the ground."
"This situation runs counter to the good expectations of the Eternal Heaven Kingdom when it was founded. Martial arts are divided into high and low, and territories are divided into high and low, but how innocent are the people who died of hunger and cold? Starting today, the 15 territories where the situation is particularly serious , earnestly develop and take into account people's livelihood, if there is still no effect after half a month, then the surrounding territories will be replaced."
This announcement looks very long, but it actually has the same meaning after careful study: Brothers who are at the bottom of the Huihui exam, pay attention, if you don't work hard, you will be expelled!
But the question is, can hundreds of years of evils be solved in half a month
Even Yunyang, where Lide is present, took two full years to grow from weak to strong. There is probably only one way to solve the problem of food and clothing for the people for half a month, and that is to cut off all the nobles in the territory and distribute all their property to the common people.
But if any lord dared to do this, let alone half a month, his head would be hung on the city gate in at most three days.
So the real purpose of this announcement is to inform those powerful territories that they are ready to carve up the fat in front of them. The royal family gave everyone a half-month buffer time very fairly, and then allowed large-scale territorial attacks. The cruel forest law of survival of the fittest is coming soon.
Winners take all, losers lose all.
Of course, for Yunyang, the vicissitudes of the outside world don't seem to be that important. Their top priority is to completely digest Zhaochen who just swallowed. The blitzkrieg against Yunhai has already gained momentum. Without knowing Yunyang's current real strength, there is no territory willing to come and touch this bad luck for the time being. This is the last time of peace for Yunyang.
Regarding Zhaochen's governance policy, Heyue and Lide also have different views.
Li De, who had just returned to Yunyang, took a hot bath to wash off his exhaustion, and then listened to He Yue's report on the specific details of taking down Zhaochen. He Yue put a few pieces of information and the first-planned policies in front of Lide. Lide briefly glanced at them, then neatly coded them up, and returned them back intact.
Lied did not sign, indicating that these plans are problematic in his eyes.
He Yue sat quietly, staring into Li De's eyes, waiting for him to speak. Sure enough, Lid coughed lightly and asked:
"Are you going to copy Yunyang's policy?"
He Yue was silent for a while, then said:
"Zhaochen is suffering too much. Serious illness should be treated with strong medicine. At least the people and army over there must be stabilized before making arrangements."
Lid shook his head:
"I can't approve your policy. You should go back and think about it."
This is Lide's rare policy to call back to Heyue, and Heyue bit her lip lightly as she looked at the document written after staying up all night.
After a long time, He Yue held the document in her hand and asked again:
"Why?"
Lide looked at the sky outside, and it was already evening. Lide sat up, brushed his wet hair with his hands, and said to He Yue:
"Let's go, accompany me out to eat something, and talk while eating."
He Yue put down the document in her hand, and she seemed to withdraw from her work temporarily, with a gentle smile on her face, she said quickly:
"Okay. This time I treat you, congratulations on your return from danger."
When Lide left Yunyang, he had his last meal with Heyue; now that he has returned to Yunyang from Yunhai, he also had his first meal with Heyue. For those who are interested in paying attention to Yunyang politics, this is a strong signal that Heyue is still the most important internal affairs chief assistant, and her power has not declined half a bit because of Fei Lin's appointment as Zhaochen's internal affairs chief assistant .
Instead of taking Heyue to Zhenweilou, Lide took him to an ordinary roadside stall, ordered two bowls of haggis soup, and then took Heyue to find a table to sit down. Before the soup was served, Li De did not open his mouth, but squinted his eyes to look at the bustling night scene of Lingyun City. This place is still a bit worse than the sea of clouds he had been to just now, and there are many caravans coming and going, but Lide thinks it is good.
The prices here are quite reasonable. Everyone who has worked hard all day can come to have some dinner or supper, enjoy a moment of peace, and then go to their poems and distant places.
After the soup was served, Lide took a sip and felt a warm current flow into his limbs.
"Let's talk about the conclusion first."
Lide looked at He Yue and raised three fingers:
"People in Zhaochen can only take 30% of our preferential policy at most. That is to say, if a person in Yunyang can earn three gold coins for a year of hard work, the people in Zhaochen can only earn about one gold coin."
Heyue's hand holding the bowl stopped in the air, then slowly put it down, and said to Lide:
"But they still can't get enough to eat."
Lide smiled, took a bite of the oil-soaked shortbread, and responded lightly:
"But you can't starve to death."
He Yue took a sip of the mutton soup depressedly, but did not refute.
Lide took another bite of the shortbread and said to He Yue:
"Are you sure you want to treat?"
He Yue nodded, and Lide immediately raised his hand to call the waiter. He ordered a plate of roast lamb with scallions, a plate of lamb belly, a roast leg of lamb, and two pots of kumiss. He didn't seem to be polite to He Yue at all. . When the dishes were served, Li De's soup was almost finished, and his whole body was warm.
He poured himself a glass of wine, and also poured a glass of wine for He Yue, and then said to He Yue:
"Of course, there is another way for them to feed and clothe themselves and make their family life rich."
Lide raised his glass, touched He Yue, and drank it down.
He Yue didn't drink, but was waiting for Li De's answer.
Lid put down the cup, let out a breath, and said with a smile:
"...Join the army. Use their bodies as my barrier in Yunyang."
