After the immortal disappeared
Chapter 1918 The seeds of disaster
Panlong City's move is called "being generous to others".
Xianyou was destroyed, and the people of Xianyou certainly had no good impression of Panlong City's army, and even hated it. But no one could refuse the food and money issued by Panlong City's army.
You can refuse, but the share that belongs to you will be taken away by others immediately.
People hate losses and would rather never get it.
Panlong City used the power of destroying the country and killing the king to do these things smoothly, and then the army clapped its hands and left, as if it was disdainful of Xianyou.
From Xianyou to the surrounding countries, everyone was stunned and couldn't understand what Panlong City was doing.
The territory that was finally conquered, just say no?
For a while, all countries, from the royal court to the local, from officials to the people, had different opinions.
Some said that Panlong City looked down on Xianyou and sent troops to destroy the country just for revenge;
Some said that Panlong City retreated because of the power of Beijia;
Some said that the leader of Panlong City suddenly fell ill and was unable to take care of everything, so Panlong City had to retreat...
But no matter what, the basic fact is that Panlong City really let Xianyou go. And of course, most people don’t know that Beijia’s army is heading to the east line of Yuheng City.
Ten days later, this Beijia army stopped and then detoured north to other places, no longer approaching the east line of Maohe Plain.
The overwhelming battle turned into a small episode.
It’s rare that Panlong City is so sensible, so Beijia will give it a favor and not beat it.
In fact, the leaders of Panlong City, centered on Zhong Shengguang, also understand that the Beijia army never conceals its whereabouts, and even marches slowly. The expected more than a month is just enough time for Panlong City to think and make concessions.
This is the ultimatum.
If you are not sensible again, Beijia will definitely bring down thunderous wrath!
This is a small tacit understanding between the two forces.
This time, Panlong City retreated and took care of Beijia's face.
Even if they are already hostile, this game is like dancing a duet, sometimes you have to advance, sometimes you have to retreat, and sometimes you have to advance and retreat.
It is not just being tough to the end.
But looking at this war, is Panlong City really at a disadvantage? Beijia's most loyal vassal was destroyed, and it lost an important means to threaten Panlong City, but it has not yet taught Panlong City a real, bloody lesson.
Xianyou was destroyed... and it was destroyed, just like that?
Baling has always hated Xianyou because it was too high-pitched, which showed that he was not loyal enough to Beijia.
After Panlong City withdrew its troops, Xianyou returned to the hands of its own people.
But after the war, Xianyou no longer had a stable ruling foundation.
King Xianyou is dead, the most talented third and fourth princes all died in battle, and the second prince was assassinated in Lingshan in Beijia. Then according to the principle of succession, the fifth prince should have ascended the throne.
But Panlong City designated the sixth prince to take over, which is a mess.
The sixth prince is not a peaceful and non-competitive person. How can he spit out the fat meat in his mouth?
The temptation he faces is the same as Panlong City, which just conquered Xianyou, but Zhong Shengguang is willing to give up, but the sixth prince will never hand over power!
So the royal court soon became chaotic, and more than two princes were involved.
After Panlong City conquered Xianyou, all the powerful and wealthy people were dismissed, and their assets were confiscated. Now the new team is reorganized, which is a strategy for employing people. Everyone is anxious to start from scratch, and the competition for position is endless.
And the new administrative team has just started, and the problems it faces are the most direct and rough:
There is no money and food in the treasury.
Officials need to receive salaries, and the army needs to eat food and wages.
Everything that depends on the state and the bureaucracy also costs money.
If a country wants to run normally from top to bottom, it can't do it without money, grain and materials.
But where is the money and where is the grain?
Some of it was taken away by the Panlong army, and the rest was all in the hands of the people.
Therefore, before the battle for the throne was over, Xianyou began to buy grain from the people.
It also wanted some face, so it was called "buying", but the treasury and the local tyrants were emptied, so where was the silver? So what did Xianyou use to exchange the food in the hands of the people?
Gold notes that were minted and issued.
But it is not a currency in essence, but a bond, an IOU voucher for the state to borrow money from the people. It is called "gold notes", which seems to be more noble than silver.
In short, the state buys grain and gives IOUs to the people.
No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one book, one bar!
When he first heard the news, He Lingchuan wanted to applaud them. There are still smart people in Xianyou. This kind of trick of getting something for nothing has long been common in another world, and it works, because the IOU itself is really valuable.
However, he also knows that this set has little effect in Xianyou and it is difficult to promote it.
Because Xianyou now has no credit.
The prerequisite for the normal issuance, circulation and use of bonds is to have strong credit as endorsement.
He Lingchuan's Yangshan Chamber of Commerce also issued silver notes in the Flashing Gold Plain, and there are many people willing to use them.
Why? Yangshan's reputation is outstanding.
And the gold notes issued by Xianyou now have no strong official endorsement, what is the difference between them and waste paper? It is just a fig leaf for the word "robbery".
The common people are not stupid and are unwilling to sell grain.
The grain tax officials and local officials are unable to collect taxes on the left and right, and the pressure on them is getting greater and greater. So what should we do in the end?
In order to complete the task, we have to make the people suffer.
It’s because these peasants are so ungrateful. Since they won’t listen to our gentle persuasion, we have no choice but to use force.
Officials have two mouths, and if the upper mouth can't be fed, how can the lower mouth be well-fed and well-clothed? What kind of dream is that?
At this time, the gentry and local tyrants who were forced to divide their property before also stood up and said that since the grain had been robbed and their face was gone, why not just rob the money as well? It's just a matter of convenience. There's no need to waste time twice.
Hehe, they saw clearly who took their money before. After the Panlong Army left, they had to take the money back.
For a while, the rural order collapsed and the people were boiling with resentment.
The war against Panlong City has lasted for more than ten years, and the Xianyou people have also borne high taxes for this. Unexpectedly, after the destruction of Xianyou, Panlong City distributed all the money and grain to them, and patted their butts and left.
What kind of noble character is this?
After the Xianyou royal family took back the territory, they neither benefited the people nor won their hearts. Instead, they began to levy heavy taxes, steal, and cheat!
The difference was obvious.
At this time, if someone told the common people that Panlong City was not kind in giving them money and food, they would spit in his face:
"Then you robbed my money and food, which is purely for my good?"
There were even radical remarks among the people, hoping that the Panlong Army would come back again.
If these officers and soldiers could use their energy to bully the common people to resist foreign enemies, Xianyou would not be destroyed.
