Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 438 Competing in the Central Plains ([-])
Three years later

Spring of the 150th year of Marquis Yan (360)
Yandu
boom!
boom!
boom!
The 150th anniversary of the founding of the Yan Kingdom is also the 120th birthday of Yan Houxue, and the entire Yandu is full of joy.

If you listen carefully, you will find that the sound of firecrackers is clearer and louder than that of decades ago, which shows that Yan State has made new progress in the research of gunpowder.

Yan Houxue has thinning white hair on his head, his face is full of wrinkles, and he still needs the support of Gong'e when he walks.

She is 120 years old, but she looks like a 60-year-old woman, and she has to say that she is well maintained.

The country of Yan has been able to develop steadily for so many years, and it is inseparable from Yan Houxue's long lifespan.

Yan Houxue's greatest contribution to the country of Yan is that she does not mess around, develops the economy honestly, does not expand casually, and does not consume national power.

Many monarchs like to make troubles in their later years, but Yan Houxue still led the nobles to deal with daily affairs day after day in his later years, not seeking merit, but seeking to be innocent.

Her teeth have fallen out, and she can only rely on drinking boiled milk and hot porridge to maintain her body functions.

Participating in Yandu's National Day is not only the native Yan people, but also those dignitaries who immigrated to Yan from the Central Plains, such as Ran Min's son Ran Zhi.

"Governing a big country is like cooking small fish. The Marquis of Yan governing the country has the shadow of Huang Lao's learning!" After knowing what Yan Houxue has done in recent years, Ran Zhi compares it with those long-lived sage kings in ancient times. The conclusion is that Zhou Wenwang is not as good as it is.

Yan Kingdom seems to have no Mingjun, but in fact, almost every generation has Mingjun, only occasionally a few monarchs are outrageous, and others are working hard for the development of Yan.

This is the supreme kindness like water, you don't usually feel his strength, but when you feel it, he has already defeated you unconsciously.

Just looking at a certain monarch in a certain period of time, you can’t tell what kind of wise monarch it is, but from the perspective of people of later generations, looking at hundreds of years or thousands of years as a span, you will find that this is a well-deserved wise monarch.

For example, Yan Houxue in front of me, just looking at her rule in a certain period of time, she can't tell anything at all. She develops the economy day after day, does not expand much, and has no great achievements.

But in the long history of thousands of years, you will find that this is an important monarch who led the country of Yan to move forward steadily, making the urban economy of the country flourish, and more inventions and creations also began to appear during this period.

In order to increase the serf population of the royal family, he did not hesitate to risk his life and personally went to the Central Plains to plunder the second-generation patriarch.

In order to turn the crisis into peace for the Wang family, and for the stable development of the Wang family, the three generations of patriarchs exhausted themselves to death.

Four generations of patriarchs who fought for the reputation of the royal family.

In order to increase the acreage of the royal family, he did not hesitate to risk being beheaded by the court, but also forcibly occupied the five generations of landowners.

In order for the Wang family to have money and develop, they would not hesitate to take the risk of being accused by everyone, but also corrupted the six generations of patriarchs.

Etc., etc.

Looking at these people alone, they don't seem to be very good, they are some kind of Mingjun, but when you look at them as a whole across the long river of history, you can find that they are the real Mingjun.

Even the survivors of Fen VI of the old Qin people are nothing more than that.

Only the survivors of Wang Jiafen's 24th life have achieved today's achievements.

Su Jun, who is 60 years old, has long been accustomed to life in Yandu, and has no nostalgia for the Central Plains.

Happy here, don't think about Jin!

Yan Houxue's grandson, Tai Shihu, is also 60 years old, but he is still alive and well, and is Yan Houxue's designated heir.

During the celebration, Tai Shihu was eating meat and drinking, when a palace lady handed over [Yan Bao].

This is the official newspaper of the Yan Kingdom, but due to the high cost of handwriting, only nobles and wealthy businessmen can afford it for the time being.

[Yan Bao] is divided into two sections, namely [Domestic] and [International].

The [Domestic] section mainly talks about the recent development of Yan Kingdom, where gold and silver mines have been discovered, which guild has made a lot of money, which guild has lost everything, which nobleman expressed what opinions, which nobleman did what Matters that affect the country's plans.

such as:

"An open-pit gold mine was discovered [-] miles south of Lanfang City, and the government of Yan State is urgently protecting the gold mine."

"Recently, in the spice sea area, another medium-sized spice merchant ship was robbed by the Xingfan Pirates. According to reliable sources, the spices from this merchant ship have been smuggled to the Nanhai County area of ​​Jiaozhou in Jin State. The merchant ship belongs to Taiyin City Lord, and The Taoyuan Guild operates as an agent, and the Lord of Taiyin asked the Taoyuan Guild to compensate for the loss of the merchant ship."

"The most wanted criminal - Feng Tianzun (code name), the leader of the Xingfan Pirates Organization, has raised his bounty to five thousand gold. The president of the Taoyuan Guild promises that as long as Feng Tianzun is arrested, he is willing to betroth his youngest daughter."

"A gangster in Wuci City colluded with Feng Tianzun and openly praised Feng Tianzun outside the city hall for robbing the rich and helping the poor. He has now been arrested and imprisoned."

"The famous explorer Lu Yu claimed that he could reach Rome by sailing eastward. After a medical examination, the explorer Lu Yu suffered from a mental illness."

The [International] section is not so detailed, but simply explain what changes have taken place in the Central Plains and the barbarian regimes adjacent to Yan.

such as:

"Goguryeo is at war with Buyeo, and the situation is unknown."

"Khitan and Xi had military conflicts, and the two sides were at war."

"There was a coup d'état in Qin State, the tyrant Fu Sheng was killed, and the new king Fu Jian came to power, and voluntarily removed the title of emperor, and proclaimed himself a minister to Jin State."

"A poor family named Wang Meng in the Qin State was reused by Fu Jian. He put forward three suggestions for the reform of the Qin State."

"The political situation in the state of Jin is unstable, and Huan Wen is engaged in a war of words with the family."

"Emperor Murong Jun of the Murong Yan Kingdom ordered: Conscript 150 million troops, ready to rule the world."

"Emperor Murong Jun of the Murong Yan Kingdom ordered: Check the population of the Guandong field."

"The officials of the Murong Yan State who were responsible for checking the population of the Guandong fields have now been wiped out by a group of mysterious rangers."

"Huan Wen, the heavyweight minister of Jin State, said: Give me 20 years, and I will give you back a strong Jin State."

"Liang State and Qin State have been at war for several months, and the high-level leaders of the two sides decided to negotiate a truce."

Seeing these news, Tai Shihu frowned slightly.

Conscription 150 million?Is Murong Yanguo crazy?To this point of militarism?

If Murong Jun really wants to recruit 150 million soldiers, the Central Plains will be in chaos again, with refugees everywhere. At that time, the Yan Kingdom in Liaodong will be able to take the opportunity to gain more population.

However, just as Yan Guo in Liaodong was still immersed in the joy of the celebration.

Yecheng
Murong Jun died of illness suddenly, and his son Murong Wei came to the throne, leaving Murong Wei with four auxiliary ministers during his lifetime.

It may be that the four auxiliary ministers are more stable, otherwise why generations of monarchs left four auxiliary ministers on their deathbeds.
