The king behind the empress

Chapter 93 Teaching "Changing"

Hearing Yang Weishang's strange tone, Mo Zizai felt that things might be different from what he imagined, so he didn't speak, quietly waiting for Yang Weishang's answer.

"Those barbarians, living in Tianzhu Mountain, rarely go down the mountain, and never intersect with the tribes of the grassland, so before they appeared, let alone the land of the Central Plains, even the grassland people rarely knew about them."

"Until the end of the Great Qian Dynasty, the cold disaster swept across the world, and Tianzhu Mountain was also greatly affected, so the barbarians on Tianzhu Mountain came out in full force."

Speaking of this, Yang Weishang said with a heavy tone: "Hundreds of thousands of barbarians are like locusts. Wherever they go, no matter whether they are humans or animals, they are all reduced to rations."

"In just over ten years, the grasslands were completely occupied by them. As for the millions of nomads who used to live on the grasslands, they basically disappeared."

"Millions of people, both humans and animals eat?"

Mo Zizai's face became ugly. He knew about the uncivilized and even cannibalistic barbarians at first, but at first he thought it was a prejudice or misunderstanding of the barbarians in the Central Plains. After all, all the firearms were made in Dazhou No matter how backward the grassland barbarians adjacent to the Great Zhou were, they wouldn't be so far behind.

Now it seems that he was wrong. Those barbarians who came out of Tianzhu Mountain should be a group of savages in essence.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the disgust in his heart, and asked in a deep voice, "What happened next?"

"If you have a good one, you want to have a better one, and those barbarians are no exception. After they occupied the grassland, they set their sights on the Great Zhou, which was not long after my country was founded."

Yang Weishang's tone was a little quiet, and he continued to narrate: "It's just that they also know the strength of my Great Zhou, so they united hundreds of barbarian tribes to nominate a barbarian emperor, and then mobilized 20 young and strong to form a team. An army, come together to attack my Great Zhou."

"A head-to-head confrontation, 20 barbarians against my 100 million Dazhou."

"As a result, the 20 barbarian army was completely annihilated, and the barbarian emperor was beheaded on the spot by Taizu. The barbarians were once again broken up into tribes, and they were never united again."

"And the price I paid in Dazhou was that nearly 100% of the 20 million army was lost in battle, and only more than [-] people survived."

"Terrible victory."

Hearing this, Mo Zizai was silent for a long time. 100 million beat 20, and 80 people were actually lost in battle.

You must know that the Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty was not the god of sorghum river chariots. The land and mountains of the Great Zhou Dynasty were fought down with both hands. In addition, the strength of the army during the founding period was also at its peak. With a battle loss of 1:4, how strong are these barbarians?

"Thank you, Mr. Ge, for your explanation. I will take the barbarians to heart."

"It's good that the prince knows it well."

Seeing that Mo Zizai obviously listened to it, and was not as self-willed as before, Yang Weishang was very relieved, "But you don't have to worry too much, my lord."

"Hundreds of years have passed since that time. Not to mention the fact that the barbarians are now fragmented, even their individual strength is far from what it was back then. In addition, my Da Zhou's armor has also been upgraded several times. They want to fight with 20 I have 100 million, which is basically impossible."

"Personal strength is not as good as before?"

Mo Zizai asked with some doubts, "What's the reason?"

"I don't know."

Yang Weishang shook his head and said: "According to the records, those barbarians back then were amazingly gifted. It seems that they were born with physical training. As long as they are adults, they can reach the ninth-rank body quenching state. As for the eighth-rank refined refinement and seventh-rank bone-forged , That’s why the battle was fought so hard back then.”

"It's just that with the passage of time, those barbarians seem to be degenerating. Now ordinary people of the barbarians rarely have the Ninth-Rank Body Tempering Realm, let alone the Eighth-Rank Refining and Seventh-Rank Bone Forging."

"Regression?"

Mo Zizai rubbed his eyebrows. If there is any difference between the barbarians now and before, it is that their residence has changed from Tianzhu Mountain to the grassland. Could it be that there is something wrong with Tianzhu Mountain?
He kept this conjecture in his heart, and if he had time in the future, he could go to Tianzhu Mountain to have a look.

"By the way, Mr. Ge, are those barbarians still cannibals?"

Hearing Mo Zizai's question, Yang Weishang hesitated for a moment, then said tactfully, "Most of them don't eat people anymore."

"Oh, I see."

Mo Zizai nodded silently. Most of the meaning of non-cannibalism is that there are still cannibals. It seems that when they become stronger in the future, it is necessary to go to the grassland to educate them.

Of course, because of Mo Zizai's insufficient cultural level, the transformation of enlightenment is basically equivalent to the transformation of melting.

It is very reasonable to teach the "transformation" of the barbarians and solve the cannibalism at the root.

"I know this matter well in my mind. Is there anything else you want to say, Elder Ge?"

"There are really some."

Seeing that Mo Zizai wanted to leave, Yang Weishang asked a very important question, "I wonder how the prince plans to raise food?"

Mo Zizai must know about such a major event as the household department not being able to buy disaster relief food, so he wanted to ask Mo Zizai for his opinion.

"Food and grass."

Mo Zizai didn't pay too much attention to this issue, and said lightly, "Let Qian Ge Lao raise the grain. I'll talk to him later. I believe in his ability."

When saying this sentence, Mo Zizai put the emphasis on the word "believe". It is obvious that the word "believe" in his mouth is a verb.

Naturally, Yang Weishang could hear what Mo Zizai meant, so he couldn't help but smiled wryly, and said, "My lord, Qian Min can't decide this matter alone. Even if you... believe him, he won't be able to buy too much food."

"I know, I didn't expect the Ministry of Households to purchase all the grain."

Mo Zizai nodded slightly, and said flatly: "The Ministry of Households only needs to buy a part, and good-hearted people will help to collect the rest."

"..."

Yang Weishang was a little speechless. Although he didn't know who the kind-hearted person Mo Zizai was talking about, judging from his behavior style, there must be a new unlucky guy.

"Forget it, my lord, you just know what's in your heart."

Yang Weishang originally wanted to remind Mo Zizai of the problem of food and grass, but it turned out that Mo Zizai had a thorough understanding of the problem and seemed to have a solution.

"It's just that the old minister still has an unfeeling request. I hope that when Yu Zhisi puts down the rebellion in the future, he can bring my son Yanzhang with him."

"Yang Yanzhang?"

Mo Zizai didn't go around in circles, and asked directly: "What is his cultivation level now?"

"Return to the prince, my son is a physical cultivation, seventh-rank bone forging state."

Yang Weishang couldn't help showing a smile on his old face when he said this, but in order to prevent Mo Zizai from misunderstanding Yang Yanzhang's hidden cultivation, he quickly explained: "Actually, he is the late emperor's disciple, and the late emperor's intention is to hide his cultivation. .”

"The first emperor felt that the king of Bei'an might not be stable, so he wanted to train Yanzhang to take over the defense of the northern border, but he didn't expect this accident."

"..."

It was Mo Zizai's turn to be a little speechless. The speed of physical training was much slower than that of true qi practitioners. The level [-] bone forging realm was comparable to the ghost state of true qi warriors in terms of the difficulty of cultivation alone.

And Yang Yanzhang seems to be less than thirty, well, another cultivation genius.
