After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

Li Chenan also looked at Su Meng at this time, with a look of surprise on his face.

It really is not that the family does not enter the house!

This girl Su Meng had a delicate appearance, but she just said such a fitting word.

This sentence was so good that Master Yuan was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his face.

After all, people are afraid of death, especially people like Yuan Shi who don't have any firm beliefs.

"Go ahead."

After receiving these two words from Li Chenan, Master Yuan seemed to have just come back from the gate of hell.

"Back to the Regent, the most important food for the desert people was the cattle and sheep grazed by various tribes."

"But as the population of the desert people grew, cattle and sheep gradually could not meet the needs of each tribe, so large tribes recruited men from many small tribes to form an army."

"There is only one thing these armies do, and that is... to rob neighboring countries."

"In the eyes of the desert people, no matter it is the Yue State, the Wu State, or the Ning State, they are all sheep raised by them!"

"Every autumn harvest time is when they set out to rob."

"The soldiers of the Xiushan tribe organized by the emperor also did this job at the beginning..."

When Wang Zhenghaoxuan heard this, he glared at Master Yuan again: "What the hell emperor?"

"How dare you call that traitor Yu Wenfeng the emperor in front of the emperor of Ningguo? Do you believe that I will put a pot on it and cook you alive?"

Master Yuan trembled again and said quickly: "Yes, yes, that thief is Yu Wenfeng!"

"When he was campaigning on the grasslands, he had a special cavalry for plundering and providing the stolen food to his army. This ensured his unification of the grasslands."

"But after the founding of the Huang country, under the persuasion of Prime Minister Zhong, the Huang people stopped robbing."

When Li Chenan heard this, he frowned slightly and asked, "Why is this?"

"Prime Minister Zhong said that since a country is established, it must look like a country."

"It seems too despicable to carry out plundering between countries. It will make other countries look down on it, and it may even cause other countries to unite to crusade against the deserted country."

"Prime Minister Zhong said that the barren country is short of food, so it needs to buy food from other countries through normal commercial exchanges between countries."

"But, but how much money do those desolate people in the desolate country have? When the desolate country was first established, the treasury didn't have many taels of silver."

"Prime Minister Zhong said that there are cattle and sheep in the barren country! He advocated bringing the cattle and sheep of those tribes back to the court, and using barter methods to exchange the cattle and sheep of the barren country for food from other countries."

"Yu Wenfeng adopted this method and asked Prime Minister Zhong to handle it. Prime Minister Zhong found a... a Central Plains man named Shen Wansi, who seems to be from Ning."

Li Chenan was surprised and asked:

"Wait a minute, who is this Shen Wansi? Does he have a brother named Shen Wansan?"

Master Yuan raised his head and looked at Li Chenan in astonishment. He thought carefully for a moment and shook his head:

"This... villain doesn't know."

"The villain only knows that this man went from Ning State to Yue State in his early years. He did a lot of business in Yue State, but the biggest business was food."

"Oh...just keep talking."

"Okay, from then on, the food of the Huang country relied on this person to sell it to the Huang country from the Yue country, exchange it for cattle and sheep, and then sell it to the Yue country."

"Beef and mutton are expensive, and food in Yue is cheap. This basically solves the problem of food for the barren people."

"Then, Prime Minister Zhong began to strictly order the desert people to stop nomadic herding, and asked them to put down their riding whips and start farming."

"Of course, not all pastures have been banned, but those who want to graze must apply to the court, pay a large sum of money, and obtain a grazing permit from the court before they can operate pastures."

"Those former tribal leaders had quite a wealthy family. They preferred grazing and eating beef and mutton, so they had to pay money to get the right to run pastures..."

"Prime Minister Zhong's move not only allowed the treasury of the deserted country to have money to maintain the operation of the court, but also allowed most of the deserted people to take root and start learning to farm."

"Of course, there are many other policies issued by Prime Minister Zhong, such as the household registration policy that has never been adopted by the barren people, such as the nationalization of pastures. Those who paid money do not own their own pastures as before, but adopt Lease method.”

"However, the fields opened by the wasteland people are owned by the cultivators, and no agricultural tax has been collected yet. The court will even distribute seeds to the wasteland people who have gone to the fields to teach them how to farm, etc." ˆ ˆ ˆ "In short, Now, under the leadership of Prime Minister Zhong, the desert country is learning from the countries in the Central Plains."

"Schools have been opened in many market towns in the wilderness, and most of the teachers they invite are from the Central Plains countries. The characters they know are also from the Central Plains, and the content they teach is also the Confucianism of the Central Plains."

Li Chenan asked again: "Yu Wenfeng has no objection?"

Master Yuan shook his head: "Huang Ren does not have complete writing, and what Yu Wenfeng learned was originally knowledge from the Central Plains."

"He does not reject Central Plains culture, and he also highly approves of Zhong Xiang's educational policies..."

"Yu Wenfeng has a very deep understanding of the history of the Dali Empire. He established the Huangguo at the suggestion of Prime Minister Zhong. He wanted to start from the Huangguo and unify the Central Plains, and recreate the Dali Empire thousands of years ago. A prosperous age."

"So he knew the importance of writing and the importance of the culture of the Central Plains. He even ordered the nobles of the Wild Kingdom to learn the culture of the Central Plains, saying that this would be the basis for future unification."

Li Chenan laughed.

It’s not that he thinks Yu Wenfeng is ignorant.

There is nothing wrong with what Yu Wenfeng did. The civilization of the Central Plains is extremely inclusive and advanced.

The Wild Kingdom is a country established by a barbarian nation. If the Wild Kingdom wants to have contacts with other countries, the whole country must learn the culture of the Central Plains.

Since Yu Wenfeng has such ambitions and wants to rule the Central Plains, he must not take over as a deserter.

What Li Chenan found interesting was the prime minister named Zhong Bo.

There is nothing inappropriate about his policy policies for the newly founded Desert Country, but they may lead to many conflicts within the Desert people——

The leaders of those tribes now surrendered at the feet of Yu Wenfeng.

But apart from those empty titles, not only did they get no actual benefits, they also lost a lot of money and more rights.

This is equivalent to weakening the power of those tribal leaders. Will this plant the seeds of imbalance in their hearts?

In any case, these policies of Prime Minister Zhong have really allowed this nation that was once a horse to settle down now.

They dismounted!

Put down the sword and bow!

Picked up the hoe!

I rolled up my trousers and got out of the field...

If cattle and sheep are exchanged for food, there will be less and less cattle and sheep without as many pastures as before.

They can no longer enjoy beef and mutton as before, and they will also start to drink porridge!

Their wildness and once strong combat effectiveness will be weakened unconsciously.

Maybe in a few generations, they won’t even know how to ride a horse.

So, is Uncle Zhong doing this good or bad for the country?

Li Chenan did not draw a conclusion.

He only knows that in a few decades there will be no more deserted people.

Looking at the sunset glow on the horizon, Li Chenan asked again:

"Do you know who sells the salt in the wilderness?"

Master Yuan shook his head: "Only Uncle Zhong knows about this."

"What kind of person is Uncle Zhong?"

There was a hint of admiration in Master Yuan's old eyes.

He pondered for three breaths before saying:

"He is an old man who is over sixty years old."

"He has extremely high wisdom and a very high status, but he lives the simplest life."

"Besides taking care of government affairs every day, he seems to have only one greatest pleasure."

"What kind?"

"...Fishing!" (End of Chapter)
