Chapter 548
Xiao Yuandu had been to Nanzhou in his previous life. At that time he was blind and was hunted down again. Lang Zhong surnamed Gu took him back and hid him tightly. He didn't have many daily contacts, so he had limited understanding of Nanzhou.

When he set foot on this land again, he came straight to Kaiwuzhou with something in his heart, and he didn't want to inquire about anything.However, along the way, I more or less heard a few things related to the situation and the royal family.

Nanzhou is sparsely populated and has a vast territory, with the sea as a barrier to the south and dangerous mountains behind it.

In those years when the Central State was in turmoil due to the barbarian invasion, the Southern State was able to stay away from disputes due to its remote location.

Although there were no wars that caused hungry people to carry their way and wander around, it failed to become a paradise in the troubled times. Due to the lack of water conservancy and lack of drought, a major famine broke out in Nanzhou.

The famine lasted for three full years, and the imperial court did not take any measures to relieve the disaster. It just sat and watched the people go from selling vends to killing each other for food.The royal family is still extravagant, the officials are still extorting and intimidating, the taxes are increasing year by year, and the sea area is occupied by the nobles and the common people are strictly prohibited from fishing.

In the end, it aroused public resentment.

In the first year of Fengxiang, the Shijia brothers gathered people in the county where they lived and took the lead in revolting.

All of a sudden, those who responded gathered, the whole country rebelled, and even the big families from all over the country joined in one after another.

The conquest lasted for several years, and with the help of God, the Shijia brothers insisted on fighting a bloody way in a situation full of heroes.

In the beginning, there were only dozens of followers. Because the two brothers were good at caring people's hearts, gave alms to encourage loans, respected virtuous people, and strict military discipline and awe-inspiring military administration. Wherever they went, the local people all rushed to support them. Attached, there are more than ten thousand families and more than one hundred thousand people who follow in ten months.

The brothers of the historians continued to annex the forces of all parties, and the big families from all over the country saw their success and joined them one after another, until one family became the dominant one.

At the beginning of the eighth year of Fengxiang, the Shijia brothers led an army into Zhulu City.The last king of Dayue was decapitated by his servants in the palace, and since then the kingdom of Dayue has been destroyed.The historian brothers who started from Liuli then established Dacheng, Shi Bi was the lord of the country, and the year was Jianchu.

Slightly different from Dayan's system of prefectures, prefectures and counties, Dacheng continued the system of Dayue without setting up counties, and counties under the prefecture.

There are 27 states in total, and the size of one state is actually equivalent to one county in Dayan.There are more than two hundred counties, one million households, and a population of more than five million.The strength of the land and water troops is not yet clear, and it should be quite a lot based on per capita calculations.

Due to suffering from the tyranny of Dai Viet and his experience in exile, Shi Bi strived to be light and simple in his rule, halved the tax, and reduced the number of tasks... It should be the new atmosphere of the new dynasty, but it is a pity that he died of a sudden illness after only one year in office .

Before he died, he left an oral order, saying that the country was established at the beginning of the dynasty, and the third son was weak and inexperienced. He was afraid that he would be taken advantage of by traitors and ruin Dacheng Sheji, so he appointed his younger brother Shi Can as the king of the country by name.

After Shi Yan succeeded his elder brother, he also diligently implemented the various government orders made by his elder brother, but his life was not long, only one year longer than his elder brother, so it was said that his son Shi Yinqi changed his reign name to Long Xi.

It has only been four years since the founding of the country, and it is not surprising that three heads of the country have been replaced one after another.

Bizarre and bizarre, as long as the succeeding ruler is wise, the people will not care about it. They have had enough of wars and want to live in peace.

However, the absurdity and cruelty revealed by the third ruler as soon as he ascended the throne immediately chilled the hearts of the people all over the country.

Shi Yinqi loves money and sex. Since he came to the throne, he has been playing with beauties all day long, disregarding state affairs and government affairs.

Likes and dislikes are capricious, people have minor faults and kill them to gain prestige, but the naughty children and flatterers around them are all made high-ranking officials.

Extravagant, often rewarded with huge rewards.Because he likes to raise horses, he specially built a green house for male and female horses to mate, and gave birth to foals and gave them food and titles.

Gold plates are used to store water for washing hands, precious stones are used to decorate drowning vessels, even the rare birds and animals in the garden of beasts are decorated with gold and jade treasures, and billions of dollars are spent to build seven-treasure chariots for the beloved concubine...

The list goes on and on.

Not enough, he still thinks that the palace city left by Dayue is not grand enough, so he needs to build and rebuild the palace.

Not only for myself, but also for my two concubines.

The entire project involved tens of thousands of people, and it was required to build high mountains inside the palace. The high mountains must be connected to the river, and there should be gorgeous courtyards around the river...

Although the palaces and gardens everywhere have been resplendent and beautiful, they are still unsatisfactory. They are repaired and destroyed repeatedly, and they are never tired of it.

Not enough money?Then let the wealthy family confess; or is it not enough?To increase taxes.

Officials dissuade?Either stick to blame or go to prison, or even sit on the whole family.

At that time, it was the hottest time of the year. Because of the tight construction schedule, the craftsmen did not dare to rest and rushed to work day and night, so many people died of heatstroke.

The common people were already tired of working, but after this incident, they were already full of sighs.

In the end, it was Concubine Qi Ying who came forward to stop the construction, extended the construction period, gave the craftsmen a fixed rest time, and prohibited construction after sunset. Only then did the public anger be calmed down, and the situation improved slightly.

But people are skeptical.

Even if he doesn't doubt it, he doesn't appreciate it—isn't the palace just for her and that curvaceous concubine?It's clearly false compassion!
Although there are countless beauties in the harem of the king, the king himself is extremely fond of the new and dislikes the old, and these two are the only ones standing tall.From the time when the lord of the country was still the heir of Jingdu Prince until now, he is still very popular, which can be seen from his appearance and wrist.

I heard that Concubine Qiying's dress is worth tens of thousands of pieces of cloth, and she only wears it for one day before throwing it away.

I heard that Concubine Grace can use thousands of taels of gold for one mirror stand.

I also heard that the death of the little prince and the queen's leaving the palace to practice are all related to the second concubine...

"Oh, disaster..."

"Poor queen..."

"Hush! Whisper is heard..."

"The monarch is not in the royal city..."

"If the monarch is not here, there is still Concubine Qi Ying who can cover the sky with one hand! It is said that the queen was driven away by her, so cruel..."

"The little prince was also killed by her?"

"Maybe..."

At the time of the first emperor, 500,000 Qin soldiers entered Nanzhou, intermarried and lived together with the local natives.Today's Nanzhou is mostly descendants of the Qin people, so the people are half able to speak Chinese.

It's just a mix of tunes, it sounds laborious.

Xiao Yuandu still understood roughly.

Seeing that his face was not good, the shop assistant asked why, he shook his head, turned around and left the mansion.

After taking the luggage and the silver gun, he returned to Nanke Xiaozhu.

It is still the bamboo building in Baoyachi.

Calamus reached out to take the bag and put it away for him.

He explained on his mouth: "My lady is going back to Miyagi to deal with some matters, and she will be back soon after thinking about it."

Xiao Yuandu remained silent, sat down, picked up the tea cup and drank it in one gulp.

Calamus came over to fill him up again.

Glancing at him, biting his lip, Chi asked: "I don't know how to kill him..."

Xiutu never stays around the Fifth Young Master, what's going on this time?He never showed up.

Didn't you come to Nanzhou?Or something happened.

Calamus has been thinking wildly since last night, and endured until now before asking.

Xiao Yuandu let out an oh, and drew a long tone: "He dragged his family..."

When Jiang Fosang came back, he found that Calamus was pale, and he smiled very reluctantly when he came out to meet her.

When asked her, she only said that she felt a little unwell, so Jiang Fosang asked her to go down and rest.

Calamus refused, and went to the kitchen to stare at the decoction.

When the medicine was delivered to bed, the two were cuddling together and talking on the couch.
