The female general was stunned, that this was actually the case. Then what to do with this confusing battle: "In this case, this battle was also started by your country. Many of our brave soldiers were killed and injured. Will your Excellency, the President, give us any help?"
What’s an explanation?”
"Explain? By killing the main person who provoked this incident, wouldn't this be an explanation for the daughter country? That is the number one general of our Xichang Kingdom!"
"The evil thief deserves to be killed, but you must compensate our casualties, as well as the material supplies we used here! Otherwise, I will report it to the queen, and we will never give up!"
Shi Yiyi bargained and said: "Now that Xichang Kingdom is undergoing changes, it is a difficult time, but we will not let the soldiers of the Daughter Kingdom sacrifice their lives in vain. You can rest assured that for the casualties of your country, I will pay according to the pension of Xichang Kingdom.
To Xichang! But it’s too much to ask for material compensation. Your army can’t be mobilized for more than a hundred miles. You’ve barely used any materials, so why do you want us to pay material expenses?”
"Also, you probably can't make the decision on these matters. In that case, please ask the king of your country to discuss it with me in person. Whether it's through correspondence or an interview!"
"Okay, in that case, I will report it to the king truthfully!"
After the two sides dispersed, Shi Yiyi led his army back to the capital. He originally brought 10,000 troops, but the number returned to the city was more than 30,000. Of course, most of them were defeated troops under General Chang.
This time, General Chang was completely defeated. The next day, Shi Yiyi ordered him to be beheaded in public. At the same time, he also strengthened publicity to the people to let those people know that the nationalization of land had only benefits and no harm to them. Instead, it wanted to take away the rich people.
land, because the rich occupy 90% of the land in the country.
In front of a piece of data, all the people turned their attention to the rich. They hoped that they could quickly hand over the land in their hands and wait for the court to release it to them.
This public opinion war was also a complete victory for Shi Yiyi. Originally, many of the wealthy landowners and court officials were doing small things, such as confusing the people, or saying that they wanted to take away the land in their hands.
But after Shi Yiyi's discussion, these far-fetched claims were self-defeating and untenable. Without the resistance of the common people, these rich and landlords would be nothing more than local chickens and dogs. Under the strict control of Jin Yiwei,
, many officials were imprisoned. No official dared to cheat.
The policy was carried out very thoroughly. Before the spring plowing, not only was all the land recorded, but it was also evenly distributed to civilians. During this period, another entrance census was conducted. This time, when I heard that land was going to be distributed, many invisible people were highlighted.
Come out. The population directly exceeds one million.
The spring plowing has been sown. Shi Yiyi also ordered the opening of warehouses to release grain to ensure that there will be no famine before this year's autumn harvest.
When she opened the houses of those wealthy businessmen and landlords, Shi Yiyi realized that poverty was relative. The people in this country were poor, which really didn't represent everyone. Just look at these wealthy businessmen and landlords and they were so rich.
But this is good, it can solve the urgent need in an instant. Of course, if these wealthy businessmen save more grain, it will not be enough for millions of people. So Shi Yiyi immediately ordered the formation of more than ten caravans to sell colored glaze to other countries. At the same time, he also
There will be a lot of food later. It doesn’t matter whether I exchange money now, the main thing is food!
As for the so-called colored glaze. Haha, everyone knows that it is just glass. For such a simple thing, Shi Yiyi still has it at his fingertips!
In this year, more than a dozen caravans have made a lot of money in several surrounding countries. They have no worries about food. If they go out to interview those people, many young people will burst into tears and say that this is the best life in their lives.
of a year.
The older ones will definitely say that they have never had such a good life in so many years. They can also really eat white rice.
Of course they eat white rice. I think of the days when they used to eat rice bran. As I said before, they rented the land from the landlord and the rent was 80%, so they could only keep 20% of the food.
How is it possible to feed a family with such 20% grain? Just change it to bran and other coarse food to survive. This is a portrayal of the vast majority of people.
Many people grew up eating coarse food such as bran and did not know what white rice tasted until they grew up. In the first year of Shi Yiyi's administration, the country underwent earth-shaking changes.
Public opinion has also reached an all-time high. The call for the throne is also rising day by day. Although there is still resistance to women being in power and being kings at first. After all, how can a woman be a king? This is common sense!
But they just know that this is common sense. It is not as extreme as the Han Dynasty. After all, they are next door to the Daughter's Kingdom. There are only women in it. And they are all women who cannot be underestimated, so they don't have a similar attitude towards women's status.
The big man is so low! The status of women here is generally pretty good!
During Shi Yiyi's one year in power, especially after the autumn harvest, the court only levied a 20% grain tax, which made the people all happy. They all clamored for Shi Yiyi to be crowned king of Xichang.
What kind of president, they have never seen or heard of it. They feel that this position is not safe. If Shi Yiyi leaves one day, or is rebelled, they will go back to the past.
In their impression, the king is the greatest. Shi Yiyi is such a capable and good person, how can she not be allowed to be the king?
By the way, here we also want to talk about the issue of compensation to the Daughter Kingdom. After some negotiation, Shi Yiyi just took two carts of colored glaze to the King of the Daughter Kingdom. Although the King of the Daughter Kingdom is already old, the glass products are really good.
It’s a woman’s favorite. Of course, the key is its value!
In fact, there is nothing ridiculous about the value of colored glaze in this world. After all, things are relatively expensive. As long as the output is controlled, the price of colored glaze can be kept high for a long time.
Modern people think that the ancients were stupid because they paid exorbitant prices for a piece of broken glass, which was just made of sand and gravel. Little did we know that in the future, people will also laugh at us with a diamond weighing two kilograms. It’s just a broken diamond, but it can be done.
Selling at sky-high prices, at what time have people been stupid?
In modern times, there are rumors of diamond scams. Although we don’t know whether they are true or not, this has not affected the price of diamonds at all. In another hundred or two hundred years, the situation mentioned before will definitely happen.
This is actually just a kind of luxury jewelry. It is not an antique in itself, so there is no need to be responsible for the future. It is impossible to say that the longer it is, the more valuable it will be.
Therefore, there was no psychological burden when buying colored glaze. The following year, Xichang International Trading was established. Fine wine, soaps, and perfumes began to be dumped overseas!
In the fifth year, Xichang International Trade alone recruited 100,000 ordinary workers. Many private enterprises came on the scene one after another. In the eighth year, Xichang's population reached 1.5 million, and the number of employed people reached 300,000.
Xichang became the richest country, and of course, the army did not fall behind. In the second year, Shi Yiyi began to reform the army and replaced it with batches of new weapons. In the tenth year, the army's standard weapons had
From spears and broadswords to rifles and cannons.
Although these rifles and cannons are not comparable to modern times, they are completely incomparable to those during World War II. But for a world that is generally still in the cold weapon age, they are enough to cope with everything.
It is almost impossible for those gods, ghosts and demons to participate in human wars. That would only cause boundless karma to them.
In ten years, Xichang's territory has tripled. Some of it was purchased with money. That's how rich Xichang is now. And some of it was because some countries used their brains to cede territory and pay compensation.
Xichang's army has fought many battles over the years. After all, when those countries see Xichang being so fat, who can't be tempted? But they obviously think too highly of themselves. They will win every battle! The opponent will kneel on the ground and call daddy!
But the Xichang army has never launched any aggressive war so far. Shi Yiyi likes development, but she does not like war and plunder.
"Father, my daughter is great! Look how much Xichang has changed in the past ten years. There are no more beggars on the streets."
Just as he was talking, a beggar walked over in front of him. He was unkempt and dressed in rags. He held a broken bowl in his hand and stretched it out to Shi Lei and the others: "Sir, please, I haven't eaten for three days."
Awkward!!
Shi Yiyi immediately frowned and asked, "You are only thirty years old and your limbs are intact. Why are you begging here?"
"I can't find a job..."
"Can't find a job? Even so, the court has given everyone a field to cultivate. Does anyone dare to usurp your field?"
"Yes! He is the chief of our village. He has occupied my land and I have no land left to farm."
"Okay, let me ask you again. Passepartout Company is recruiting migrant workers to build roads, so you should be fine. Textile factories are also recruiting migrant workers. Many companies are recruiting migrant workers. Don't tell me, they don't want you?"
"Hey, girl, I'm sorry to bother you!!" The beggar left quickly and dejectedly.
Shi Yiyi sighed and said: "Dad, you are right, there are always some idle people who want to get something for nothing. Will beggars never be eliminated?"
Shi Lei smiled: "There is no need to pursue absolute perfection in anything. Flaws cannot be concealed. Since such people want to be beggars, why bother with them?"
"But it bothers me to see them begging here like this! It really affects the appearance of the city! I must definitely put a stop to this kind of thing!"
Wang Zhaojun said with a smile: "Yiyi, these people are simply indolent. They don't want to do things, do you still want to force them to do things?"
"This is possible. I will introduce a law when I go back. If there are still healthy, young and strong people begging in the city, they will be sent to a labor camp! Force them to experience the hardships of working people!"
Shi Lei smiled and didn't take these things seriously. Looking at the new Xichang Kingdom, he sighed and said: "I really didn't expect you to be able to lead Xichang Kingdom to this point. It's really good. Then when I was the emperor, but
No one can do as well and outstandingly as you!"
"Dad was an emperor back then? Tell me about it!"
Wang Zhaojun also looked at Shi Lei expectantly. She had never heard Shi Lei talk about the past.
"That's another world. There are no gods, ghosts, and monsters there, only mortals, mostly people who practice martial arts. And the highest level is innate.
The Song Dynasty was very rich, but its military power was very weak. The people of the grassland rose up in the grasslands and were called Daliao. The people of the Daliao grassland had strong folk customs and often went to war with the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty had no temper and humiliated the Liao Kingdom to pay tribute every year.
.
Later, a tribe reappeared in the grassland and grew rapidly, named Dajin. The Song Dynasty and Jin Dynasty teamed up to destroy the Liao Dynasty. But Dajin was even more of a financial wolf. It invaded the Song Dynasty many times, and even directly broke into the capital of the Song Dynasty, and kidnapped two emperors, maids and concubines.
Countless, and many ministers of the DPRK and China.
King Kang established the Southern Song Dynasty, with Xiangyang as the boundary, and all the north fell into the hands of the Jin Kingdom. My father developed in Xiangyang at the beginning. He conquered the lord of Xiangyang City, held the military power in Xiangyang and repelled the attacks of the Jin Kingdom many times. He opened a literature hall and a martial arts hall, and cultivated politics.
and military talents. At the same time, the Military Scientific Research Department was established to develop weapons and equipment. However, the Song Dynasty teamed up with the Jin Kingdom to attack us many times.
However, the powerful weapons, good military literacy and the effective performance of the generals made both sides ineffective. In the end, my father raised troops from Xiangyang and went straight to the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, forcing the Southern Song emperor to retreat and formally establishing a new imperial court.
Next, we pushed all the way north, annihilating and annexing the Jin Kingdom. But there was not much achievement in the development of the country. It is not comparable to Xichang now!!"
Shi Yiyi chuckled: "Then I'm great! I'm amazing!"
"What are you talking about? Your father's national conditions back then are completely different from your current national conditions. Now your father used his absolute strength to directly help you gain absolute power. And how did your father get the right to fight like this back then?
I worked my way up slowly. Your father taught you all those tricks."
"Hahaha, it doesn't matter, how can my Shi Lei's daughter be mediocre! You are naturally the best in the world. But if you want to find a man worthy of my daughter, it will be difficult to find!"
"Dad, what are you talking about? I don't want to get married! My daughter will always be with her parents like this!"
"Don't be hasty, don't be hasty, my father and mother are reluctant to let you get married. But we have plenty of time. If we don't meet a satisfactory boy in one hundred years, we will wait three hundred years. If we don't meet him in three hundred years, we will wait one thousand years, three thousand years! I
I believe you will always encounter it!”
The family happily wandered around Xichang, looking at everything around them, and felt quite deeply in their hearts. There was a sharp contrast between the poverty in the past and the prosperity now!
The opposite is Aolai Country. Here, Shi Lei's incarnation has already ascended the throne. However, the country's name has not been changed, nor has it carried out major reforms. In the eyes of ordinary people, Aolai Country is still the same Aolai Country.
But no one knows. A total of 200,000 troops are practicing, and now they have all achieved considerable achievements. Although they are far from the heavenly soldiers and generals, they can never be compared with the ordinary armies.
