Four hundred and eighth chapter ninety-four: or jump in the abyss
Yuzhou, Dengzhou Prefecture.
Adjacent to the East China Sea, the Jingwang Xingyuan of Ninghai Prefecture has replaced Shanyang City as the new center of power.
The paper-cut characters "囍" still remain on the wall, giving the study a strong festive atmosphere.
Zhou Jinghuan and Duan Zhiyin, who wore her hair in a woman's bun and wore an elegant palace dress with light green pigments, sat opposite each other.
The desk is filled with documents sent from various counties in Dengzhou Prefecture.
At this time, if the spiritual warrior opens his Dharma eyes, he will look at the only surviving second prince in the direct line of the Great Yan royal family.
You can see that dragon energy surges above his head, transforming into a black and gold water dragon that gradually sprouts claws.
Baring teeth and dancing claws, swallowing clouds and puffing out mist, the purple air is thick, and it already has a somewhat soaring atmosphere.
It corresponds to "94: You may jump into the abyss, no blame!"
The current state is difficult to maintain. You can choose to take advantage of the situation and jump to the sky, or you can sink back into the abyss. It all depends on the timing.
Obviously, when the Great Yan Luck Golden Dragon completely collapsed, he also had a share, and as the only remaining seedling, his share was still quite large.
Of course, this also means that he has the heaviest karma debt!
If you have the idea of maintaining the status quo alone, you will only die without a burial place.
"Husband, the dragon energy in the mansion has reached its current limit. With the help of Nie Chenghuang, the dragon energy center has been completely moved and stabilized in Ninghai Prefecture.
The radiation range expanded to nearly a hundred miles at sea.
Within this range, all kinds of monsters and monsters on the sea will be strongly suppressed, and the security of sea trade will be greatly improved, even if there is a war, it will not be hindered.
In addition, the results of inspections and inspections of fields in each county have also been reported.
Thanks to our dredging of rivers and water conservancy projects since last year, and the presence of my aunt, the Dragon King of the Zhuohe River, the production of these nine counties and one state has not been significantly reduced.
It is expected that the corns planted in spring will be harvested by the end of August.”
Duan Zhiyin, who has now become the chief steward of Dengzhou Prefecture, is reporting to Zhou Jinghuan on various important matters that have been carefully selected.
And looking at the way she is dressed now, it is clear that she has already made good things happen with Zhou Jinghuan, who is nearly 30 years old, and has become a married woman.
In fact, they got the news from Wang Yuan as early as a month or two ago.
Knowing that the Jiaomen and the Nine Soldiers will make big moves in Yunjing City, the days of stability may not last long.
Simply, the wedding was completed under the auspices of the elder Qingyan, which also calmed the minds of a large group of subordinates.
Zhou Jinghuan was good at everything, but he still had no heirs, which was really a big worry for his ministers.
Moreover, according to the etiquette system of Dayan, the prince can marry one main concubine and two side concubines.
Zhou Jinghuan is much better than his brother-in-law.
Not only did he marry Duan Zhiyin, a talented and talented girl, but also Xie Yanji, the youngest daughter of the Xie Tian Hakka family who could dance in the palm of her hand, also married into Prince Jing's palace.
These two concubines, both civil and military, simply enjoyed all the blessings of the people of Qi.
As for the question of who was cheating and who was cheating, Zhou Jinghuan did not find it difficult. Xie Yanji, who had a straightforward and informal personality, took the initiative to give in and become the side concubine.
During his lifetime, the old man of the Duan family was a supervisory censor with the power to supervise the army and the Qing army. He often dealt with Xie Tianke, the commander-in-chief of the army, and had a good personal relationship.
The children of the two families have known each other since childhood, so there is naturally less intrigue between them.
Zhou Jinghuan nodded, picked up the teapot and diligently helped his princess add a cup of tea:
"Thank you for your hard work, Zhiyin. Are there any other difficulties in domestic affairs?"
Duan Zhiyin was not polite and skillfully took out an account book from a pile of documents.
"The resources required to maintain the combat power of the five [Tao soldiers] we have in our hands are huge. It would be okay if there is no war, but once the war starts, the consumption will increase immediately.
We must prepare for a rainy day and prepare at least three months' surplus before we can be sure to successfully capture several surrounding areas.
Moreover, their tens of thousands of family members were all sent back by their brother-in-law, and they needed to be carefully accommodated.
It’s no better than those refugees who have nothing, and their expenses are no less small.”
"Well, it's easy to handle. I just need to find Wang Xiaoyuan for some support."
He saw the girl raising a finger and tapping her cheek, looking at him with a half-smile.
Zhou Jinghuan scratched his head and said sarcastically:
"Ahem, don't you just have to call that shady guy "brother-in-law" a few times?
What does it matter if a man can bend and stretch?
That is to say, I, Zhou Jinghuan, have a good sister to protect me. Even if someone else were to call him grandpa, they would never be able to pluck out a single feather from this iron rooster.
I rely on the mountain to eat the mountain, rely on the sea to eat the sea, it is my own ability to rely on my brother-in-law to eat my brother-in-law!"
The more this guy talked, the more he felt it made sense, and his face actually became smug.
“It’s really nice to have a rich brother-in-law!
Besides, when I don’t ask for help, I will still be my brother-in-law’s only cousin.”
Duan Zhiyin, who has become a householder and knows how valuable food and rice are, also nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice. Apparently she could no longer agree with her husband's words.
With such a brother-in-law, what more could I ask for?
After talking about business, Zhou Jinghuan took his wife’s hand:
"By the way, why haven't you worn the bracelet your sister gave you?
There are also the golden hairpins of Empress Wende of the Great Zhou Dynasty and clothes sewn from crocodile silk. When we got married, Shopkeeper Tao must have given you several cartloads of treasures, right?"
Duan Zhiyin put down the account book and shook her head with a smile:
“Everything has been sealed and stored in storage.
I still know when to do something.
Although the current situation in Dengzhou Prefecture is far better than that in other parts of China in Chi County, people all know that the current world is difficult.
Drought, famine, plague, and military disasters will come at any time, and the hard days that require tightening the belt are still long.
What would they think if the common people and soldiers saw that there was not even a shadow of this great cause, and that the family members of their lord began to wear gorgeous clothes and beautiful ornaments?
How can we share the joys and sorrows with us and overcome the difficulties together?"
"Even if the emperor did not do well, there is nothing wrong with setting an example and practicing frugality.
Unless the [Yu Fu Lei Shu] mentioned by my brother-in-law is applied on a large scale and the era of productivity explosion really comes, spending money can boost the economy.
I also want to encourage my husband to take the lead in spending money.
But in today's era where every year's property has an upper limit, every point our expenses are reduced will allow others to use one more point.
My husband is the only legacy of the royal family, so I should pay more attention to it."
Seeing that his princess is so considerate, what can Zhou Jinghuan say?
"A good wife will never encounter misfortune!"
There has never been a royal family in history with such a large population as that of Dayan, and everyone has a title and salary.
In order to support them, the entire Great Yan Dynasty has long been overwhelmed.
Their annual taxes, money, and grain and rice were all fixed, and at first the people could still afford it.
But when the number of these dragon sons and grandsons increases, but the treatment does not decrease, the burden on the people will naturally become heavier and heavier.
For example, by the Jianming Dynasty, Junzhou's annual food income was less than 1 million shi, but after calculation, the salary of the princes surnamed Zhou required a full 1.92 million shi!
Even if all the people don't eat or drink, it won't be enough to feed them.
Of course, the Great Yan royal family has naturally become a sinful man who preys on the common people.
Compared with those corrupt officials, the public resentment is stronger.
Since the fall of ancient dynasties, most of the old royal families have been rejected by humanity and the people. They are burdened with the great cause and effect of the people. The backlash from all sides is particularly brutal, and most of them rarely end well.
There is no doubt that the experience of the Great Yan royal family will only be more dangerous than that of previous dynasties.
Although this is not Zhou Jinghuan's fault, the karmic debt industry does not care about this.
If you don’t want to be implicated, you must first not benefit!
While he enjoys the benefits brought by his status, he also has to bear the consequences of debt backlash.
If we want to change the existing impression in the minds of the people, we must start from the details now.
After all, the requirements for being a king and being a monk are different.
call--!
At this moment, a strong wind suddenly whipped up in the courtyard, and a petite figure wearing black armor and a graceful figure fell from the sky.
He folded the black wings behind his back and walked into the study.
He picked up Zhou Jinghuan's teacup on the table and drank it all in one gulp as if drinking wine.
Concubine Xie Yanji breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the two of them and said quickly:
"Just now 'Taibai Jingtian' appeared in this world, many powerful forces in several houses around us immediately started to make moves.
In particular, the Dongchang Prefecture City God, who has been subdued by his brother-in-law, has just reported to us that a branch of the side sect "Demon Master Tao" in the territory has raised a rebel flag.
It is said that there are evil spirits in the army, and Gongqiu County, which was originally under the rule of the imperial court, collapsed at the first touch.
Moreover, after they broke through the county seat, they immediately took the refugees and attacked everywhere, and a partial army was about to enter our rule."
Zhou Jinghuan's face became solemn, knowing that what was supposed to come finally came.
Without hesitation, he waved his hand:
"Send the order, send out troops, and defeat the thieves!"
About the same time.
Everyone who had finished their mission in Yunjing City had returned to Pengxuan Cave Heaven and began to divide the spoils.
In the Ziwei Heavenly Palace, Wang Yuan wiped his hands excitedly and caught a silver-white mirror thrown by [Da Siming].
Round, round button, round button base, plain edge.
The seat is decorated with a circle of inscriptions, which read clockwise: "Guangzheng follows people, good for new and long life", with small nails spaced between each word.
Two circles of mysterious patterns divide the back into an inner and outer circle. The inner circle is composed of four spirits: green dragon, white tiger, red bird, and Xuanwu. They are arranged around the mirror button and interspersed with mountain patterns and cloud patterns.
The outer ring is divided into twelve grids, with lifelike twelve zodiac signs and moiré patterns placed in each grid.
This is one of several strange objects born from the corpse of the old Buddha: [Four Symbols and Twelve Yuanchen Daylight Realm].
The ability is simple and crude.
——Adjust the speed of time within a radius of one mile, with an upper limit of ten times!
It was also the breeding artifact that Wang Yuan had dreamed of!
Chapter completed!
