"Madam, why doesn't this child cry or make trouble?"

"Si'er, don't be mute!"

Listening to the conversation between the middle-aged couple on the side, the corners of Li Ping'an Yuanshen's mouth twitched a few times.

His previous plans were quite good.

I just didn't expect that I would have complete consciousness since I was a child. This experience is really strange.

Then, our Majesty the Emperor of Heaven let out a loud cry.

In fact, he just yelled at the top of his lungs and then kicked his arms and legs hard to prove that there was nothing wrong with the body that the fellow Taoist Houtu had made with his own hands.

Then, two blurry figures appeared in Li Ping'an's sight.

When they got closer, Li Ping'an could barely see their appearance clearly with his baby's eyes.

The man's face was not outstanding, he was of medium height, with many wrinkles on his forehead. He was wearing quite luxurious clothes. Although he was still in his prime, he had a few silver hairs on his head.

The woman looked younger than the man, with a graceful and noble face. If she were a few years younger, she would be the most beautiful woman in the country. Unfortunately, human youth is fleeting. Her eyes were a little tired, and she lowered her head and gently kissed Li Ping'an.

Hug him.

Li Pingan stopped crying and felt the subtle connection of blood.

He was still muttering in his heart that there were not many servants in King Wen's house this week, so he noticed that his little body was a little tired and sleepy.

Anyone who is born frequently knows that this is always the case when they are born.

Li Ping'an yawned and quickly let this new body fall asleep.

After confirming that there was no problem here, Li Pingan's ray of soul simulated the state of a mortal soul and began to sleep in the newborn's body.

Then……

The first day of Ji Dan's life came to an end.

Li Ping'an's body woke up in Heaven, and his immortal consciousness looked at the various places in Heaven that were operating at full strength.

He suddenly had nothing to do.

I wanted to go and play with Ning Ning, but I found that Ning Ning was raising a baby with Long Ji, Li Yiqing, and Li Yingying had a nice little memory beside them.

She wanted to go to Yaochi to talk about life, but saw that Yaochi was punishing several fairies. It was hard for him to show up, lest Yaochi would think that he was beating her up.

Go find the master...

He had just said a solemn farewell to the master, and the master had begun to practice in seclusion, so it would be a bit unsightly to disturb her.

Li Ping'an simply cultivated and understood Taoism, and made some efforts and accumulation for the next breakthrough that would come in who knows what year or life.

Babies naturally sleep a lot;

Nowadays, it is impossible for Zhou State, a vassal state of the Great Shang Dynasty, to have such a thing as milk powder, so there will inevitably be embarrassing moments when babies are fed breast milk.

Li Pingan is not a pervert.

He used magic to set an 'alarm clock', and when he was hungry, he would kick his legs and cry out twice. This ray of soul would cut off contact with the body and take the initiative to fall asleep, relying on the body's instinct to eat and drink enough.

Just like that, the hundred days passed quickly.

He, the fourth son of the Xibohou Mansion, was finally carried out of the house by Si Xin, and met the officials of the Zhou Kingdom who came to congratulate him.

There is a saying that Li Ping'an's first impression of the Xibohou Mansion was actually...

Shabby.

Really shabby.

The Xibohou Mansion is built on a flat plateau, with only two structures: the front courtyard and the backyard. There are seven or eight large houses in the backyard and six or seven side rooms. There are basically people living in each big house. The front courtyard is also a place for political discussions.

.

There is a main hall ten feet long and wide in the front yard. The whole main hall is a wooden structure with four slightly protruding cornices.

In the backyard, except for the main house where Si Xin, the lady lives, is made of wood, the houses on the left and right are made of earth and stone, and the windows are all narrow.

It focuses on poverty.

Li Ping'an didn't understand this.

Although the Southern Continent’s common people did not popularize the soulless arts like the Eastern Continent’s common people, the overall productivity was low;

However, in the Shang Kingdom and even the vassal states surrounding the Zhou Kingdom during this period, tall buildings and high pavilions and gardens could be seen everywhere.

——There are too many slaves in various places. There is no need to build the palace, so why not let them have the strength to rebel?

It is unjustifiable to say that Xibo Hou Jichang cared about the people and did not waste money.

Li Ping'an's celestial knowledge swept away and found that there are many high platforms in Xiqi City. The homes of some generals are much more grand than the Xibohou Mansion. Moreover, not far behind the Xibohou Mansion, there is a garden that has been repaired. The gardens have been repaired everywhere.

It is very exquisite, and the dance pavilion has all the necessary elements. There are already several children and beautiful women living in it.

Does the old house in Xibohou have good feng shui?

Li Ping'an didn't quite understand. Little Ji Dan, who was only a hundred days old, could only lie in her mother's arms and look left and right.

He had just fallen asleep that day when he heard the conversation between Si Xin and Ji Chang before going to bed, and heard some dissatisfaction from Si Xin.

Si Xin said: "Husband, you don't want to be extravagant. This is a good thing. However, the new mansion has been built, but you just let the beautiful concubine and a few concubines move in. You and I will live in the old mansion here."

"My husband is really partial."

Ji Chang, who was soaking his feet in hot water, said with a smile:

"Madam, the new mansion has been repaired. Once it is repaired, you don't have to live in it.

"Why do we need to build a new mansion?

"Every two years, envoys will come to Chaoge City. After they come, they must have a place to stay, and the new mansion is built for them.

"When the king's envoys arrive, arrange some beauties for them and give them some jade and treasures."

Si Xin sighed: "Husband, you obviously hate them very much..."

"How can Madam say such a thing?"

Ji Chang frowned and said:

"The late father and the late king were just provoked by a bitch and misunderstood each other. Although the late father was mistakenly killed by the late king, it was because of the excessive crusade and excessive warfare in the Zhou Kingdom. It was not the fault of the late king.

"Now that I have succeeded to the throne, I must always be alert to the mistakes of my late father. How dare I complain against the current king?"

Si Xin sighed: "This is with me, at home. Why do you have to be so careful?"

"This is what I mean."

Ji Chang's voice became much gentler. He lowered his head and hugged Si Xin. The water in which he soaked his feet was already a little cold, but he didn't even notice. He just stared out the window in a daze.

Was my late father accidentally killed by the late king?

Li Ping'an's little Yuan Shen made some calculations with his fingers, and then he knew the whole story.

There is no need to start talking about this matter from the beginning of the world.

The Zhou Kingdom originated from a branch of the Qiang people.

What is Qiang?

In the written description of the Shang Dynasty, most of the nomadic peoples in the vast lands in the west, north, and northwest are called Qiang.

The Qiang in the west, the barbarians in the east, the barbarians in the south, and the Han in the north have been the main enemies of the Shang Kingdom since ancient times.

The Qiang tribe does not yet have its own cultural system, and its ancient writing has been lost. The conflict between the nomadic people and the farming people has caused deep resentment between the two sides, and they have been fighting against each other for years.

The merchants were called eight hundred vassal states, but this number was actually a lot more. In order to resist the tribes from all directions, they supported four major vassals in the four directions of east, west, south, and north.

These four princes were formed sooner or later.

The Jiang family of Dongbohou was the most powerful, had the deepest background, and was closely related to the Shang royal family. He was called the head of the eight hundred princes.

Today's Dongbohou is Jiang Huanchu, who has the greatest prestige.

The E family of Nanbohou and the Chong family of Beibohou also both made their fortunes earlier, and they are families that have stood on the land of Dashang for hundreds of years.

Xibo Houji's family has only been rich for a short period of time. Although Zhou Liguo is far away, it has always been a small country, and he has some "inferiority" because he is of Qiang origin.

Every time the princes gathered, the leader of the Zhou Kingdom could only sit in the most remote seat.

Ji Chang's father, Ji Li, was the youngest among the brothers and was also called Ji Li. He was considered the greatest contributor to the rise of the Zhou Kingdom.

Before Ji Li succeeded to the throne, Zhou had already received an important errand from Shang.

[Capture the Qiang people and send them to Chao Ge as human sacrifices for sacrifice.]

Not everyone can do this job.

Most of the Qiang tribes are very ferocious.

The Ji family, who were born among the Qiang people, were very familiar with the terrain and climate outside the Northwest Territories. They had an "infantry formation" to restrain the Qiang people's cavalry.

It was by relying on this job and successfully completing dozens of missions to capture the Qiang people that the Ji family became the most capable generals in the eyes of the King of Shang.

After Ji Li succeeded to the throne, he took the initiative to join the Shang Dynasty as a general and was loyal to the Shang King Wu Yi.
