Chapter 859: Ma Weicheng's election bribery incident

Ji Ya muttered the response of the two: "Heavy agriculture and suppress business...... Yangshi Xinggong...... Heavy Agriculture...... Suppressing business ......"

The latter is good to say, education cannot be left behind, not only a large amount of money investment, but also from the flow of people to absorb talented people. Ten years of trees, 100 years of people. It only takes time to see results. In terms of industry, Ji Ya's trip to the capital brought back a large number of craftsmen and documents, and the revitalization of industry will certainly not become empty talk.

First of all, the fertile land in the Ganliang region is limited, most of which is the desert Gobi, and there is also a part of the grassland area. With the exception of a few oases, most of the fertile arable land was concentrated in the Aman River valley, which was controlled by several large cities in the Ganman Alliance, such as Ulantia and Yuxiucheng. It is almost impossible to be heavy on agriculture.

It is also unrealistic to suppress business, because agriculture is lacking, so there are many bandits, mercenaries, and merchants in the northwest region, and it is impossible to effectively control them.

And even if she is unwilling, Ji Ya has already borrowed a lot from Deroy City and Huadu, and it seems that it is impossible to completely sever the relationship in a short period of time.

Seeing Ji Ya frowning, Meng Mengda said: "Your Highness, suppressing merchants does not mean suppressing commerce, try to see that the Great Zhou has a decree to ban the sea." In fact, it is necessary to have an officially approved instrument to trade in the sea, otherwise it will be punished as a crime of smuggling. Look at the salt and iron franchise of the imperial court for thousands of years, as well as the royal ticket number that connects the world. It's not that Da Zhou doesn't know how to use capital, but he just wants to hold capital in his own hands. ”

In fact, there are some things that Monmonda is not suitable to say to Ji Ya, after all, in terms of background, he belongs to the sweet and cool Battelle people, and Ji Ya is not the same way, and some of the points are best to stop, otherwise it will be harmful to the interests of his own clan. It's just that Ji Ya has always been kind to Monmonda, and has found precious books for him many times, so he can be regarded as repaying the favor.

Ji Ya understood what Monmonda meant. If you want to rule Ganliang, you must not only have your own army, but also have your own economic power, whether it is Droy City or the Chamber of Commerce in Huadu, you can't rely on it. For a moment, she thought of the Yayunle Chamber of Commerce, maybe she could find Haole from Huadu to help.

……

Ulantia

The most powerful city-state in the Ganliang region, with more than 540,000 settlers, relied on the fertile land of the Aman River and the trade network that linked the four directions, raising the strongest army of 50,000 in the Ganman Alliance. Even in the Great Zhou Dynasty, in addition to the royal capital and the flower capital that has risen in recent decades, there are few cities that can be compared.

As the ruler who had just taken over the city for a few years, the youth of Duchang, the Great Khan of the Ganman Alliance, became the biggest weakness of the government.

His grandfather, the old hero Itel, fought all his life, and even the Great Zhou Taishi Demon Yunhai looked at him differently, and no one was unconvinced. And his father, the second Khan Tsarchi, is also a figure with both martial arts and means. When the old hero Itel was alive, he was already quite prestigious. Not only did it lay a strong foundation for the Ganman Alliance, but it also participated in resisting the invasion of the demon clan ten years ago.

It's different here in the third generation of Duchang, he is too young, even born after the establishment of the Ganman Alliance, so that he didn't participate in the most difficult and dangerous days, but now he is sitting on a big position. Not to mention some of the other cities in Ulantia, even the former allies of his grandfather and father, they don't respect him too much, except for the use of force, I'm afraid it's just some incense.

It's just that this place is not as chaotic as the Great Zhou, and the Ganliang region completely explains what it means to die like a lamp going out. If you take advantage of the chaos and use your father's inheritance to act slowly, in a decade or two, you may really be able to turn the Ganman Alliance into the Ganman Kingdom. It's just that Du Chang, who obviously feels the pressure, is also eager to show that he is not losing to his ancestors. The more you move, the more you offend people. That's why he was called the 'impulsive and reckless' young Khan.

I already felt the urgency of time, and Ji Ya, the great god, fell from the sky again, and Du Chang's heart was really like pressing a boulder.

Looking out of the window, you can see the huge onion-shaped dome in the distance, the delicate red walls, and the geometric patterns that are full of aesthetic repetition. The beautiful Ulantia and the great Ulantia have been developed by our parents for hundreds of years and built for more than 30 years. Is this really the end of it?

Just as Duchang was frowning at Ji Ya's arrival, a young man with brown curly hair hurriedly walked into the main hall: "I've seen the Great Khan." ”

Du Chang smiled: "What's wrong my friend, why are you in such a hurry?"

The young man hurriedly asked, "I heard that you have detained the envoy from Lanzhou?"

Du Chang's face sank, and then he said: "Hassan, you are my most cherished friend, I also know the rules of the temple, I will not hide it from you, but will you come to help me?"

The temple of Tia was the place where the city-states worshipped their goddesses, and the priests in the temple possessed incredible power. But according to the rules, they will not intervene in mortal wars. Even if two cities or clans are at war, as long as the temple does not intervene, then no one is allowed to attack the temple and the clergy. Therefore, many of the defeated tribal leaders would send their sons and daughters to the temple for refuge, but from then on they became clergy, vowing to renounce their hatred and go to asceticism, and the victors could not be hunted down. If you break your oath and seek revenge, not only will you be punished, but the temple you will also be taken in.

Hassan's family has been temple priests for generations, and not only has a strong Lei Ling cultivation of his own, but also has a lot of books. Because they have not yet been ordained to become a true priest. So he doesn't have to be completely under the jurisdiction of the temple, if he is willing to come out to help his friends, Duchang will give him an excellent treatment.

Hassan knew that his friend was a man with a heart, and that a princess had fallen from the sky, and this fire must have been brewing in his heart. He asked, "What are you going to do?"

Duchang didn't answer, but just handed over a parchment scroll in his hand, and after Hassan read it, his hands trembled: "Do you know what the consequences of this reply will be?"

"It's not a reply, it's a ......"

Listening to his friend's answer, Hassan was stunned: "You really want to do this!?"

Du Chang nodded: "So will you help me......?"

Hassan knew that there was a difference between a letter and a reply, and that it would not only be shown to his opponent, but would also spread throughout his own forces, so there would be no turning back.

Hassan finally nodded: "I'll come and help you......"

Du Chang smiled, he didn't guess wrong: "Thank you, my friend." ”

The two have been friends for more than 20 years, and he knows Hassan's character too well. As a descendant of a clerical family, Hassan was not only knowledgeable but also had his own standards. When a friend is rich, he cannot be approached. Stand with your friend when he is in danger.

Now that the decision has been made, Hassan said: "In that case, start preparing for war, Great Khan." And the matter of Mawei City cannot be delayed, it must be resolved before the war begins. ”

Du Chang nodded and said, "I will send someone to solve it as soon as possible." Copy this document and distribute it everywhere, cut off the nose and one ear of the messenger from Lanzhou, and give him a copy of the document to get out!"

Seeing Duchang doing this, Hassan knew that he could not persuade him, and it seemed that war was inevitable.

……

Mawei City, a city in the eastern part of Ganliang

In the evening in a courtyard, several border people in fancy clothes gathered, led by an old man with a white beard.

The old man had Ji Ya's message in his hand, and he asked, "What do you think?"

Someone said, "In my opinion, this is a good opportunity! Ulantia has used force to interfere in the election of my city of Mawei without authorization, which is a rule that has been broken for hundreds of years." ”

Another person catered to: "That's right, Burke of Mawei City is canonized by the imperial court, and the three of them are together." There is no reason for others to interfere, and the two Great Khans of the previous generations have never put their beaks, so why should Duchang Xiao'er interfere?"

There are more than 30 cities in the Ganman Alliance, and each place has its own rules. However, as the head of a city, Burke used to be approved by the Golden Book of the Great Zhou Imperial Court, but the candidate can be determined according to the actual situation.

Some cities are relatively small and can be elected by the whole city. Some cities are controlled by families, which can be passed on from father to son. Other cities are designated by the upper generation.

The city of Mawei is jointly managed by three tribes, and everyone agrees to meet every five years, and each of the three tribes elects one person, and the whole city votes for Burke. No successor shall be eligible for re-election. However, one of them has been scandalized because of his lack of integrity, and he has not produced a Burke for twenty-five consecutive years. So he rushed to the doctor and asked the Great Khan Duchang to intervene with a lot of money. Due to the power of the Great Khan, the other two clans had to bow their heads and admit it, but this incident also caused a rift in the Ganman Alliance, which had lasted for more than 20 years. Later, it was called the 'Ma Wei City Election Bribery Incident' in the history books.

In fact, these three are not really good people, but one of them has a scandal, and the other two take advantage of the fire to rob and want to make the three-legged tripod equal. Twenty-five years have not been called for people, and it is no wonder that they will go to foreign help.

It's just that no matter how the three families fight each other, it's Ma Weicheng's own business, and Duchang came to intervene for the sake of fairness and justice. I'm afraid that the briber promised a lot of benefits.

This matter has also become a rift in the alliance, if you can interfere with him today, you will be able to deal with me tomorrow, and many cities have begun to have a grudge against the Ganman Alliance.

Originally, this bitter fruit could only be chewed and swallowed, but coincidentally, Ji Ya came to Ganliang at this time, which also brought hope to some small cities, including Ma Wei City. No matter how powerful your Ganman Alliance is, it's just a non-governmental organization. The Burke of every city is sealed by the imperial court, what right do you have to appoint and dismiss? Now that Ganliang has a feudal lord, look how you still make waves!

Other cities may still be waiting, but Ma Weicheng, who is already suffering from skin pain, has decided to defect to Ji Ya. At least two-thirds of the whole city defected, as long as she could keep the original rules of Ma Wei City, who would not be a servant!

……

Just a month after the messenger was dispatched, a guest arrived in Lanzhou. It was the eleventh disciple of the Northland Sword God, chasing the wind and chasing the wind Xin Zhitong. He also brought twenty disciples of the Dragon Sword Sect with him this time.

Ji Ya saluted and said, "Uncle Xin." ”

Xin Zhitong didn't dare to shout: "You are now the princess of Liang Kingdom, I don't dare to accept your gift." ”

"Uncle Shi laughed, I don't know that Uncle Shi is here to ......"

"That's the case, I heard that you are interested in going west?"

"Well, I've sent messengers to communicate with all sides, and it's not necessarily going to be a real fight. ”

Xin Zhitong shook his head: "I know better than you here, if you want to solve all disputes without blood, it is impossible." "He is a border citizen himself, so he naturally knows this place.

Immediately, he explained his intention to Ji Ya, one is that because of Ji Ya's existence, the momentum of the Dragon Sword Gate in the clouds is not weak, and since he has relied on Ji Ya's might, he naturally has to reciprocate. Therefore, twenty elite disciples were selected, whether they were used as escorts or charging into battle, if they could make meritorious contributions, Ji Ya would not hesitate to have a good future.

The second is Xin Zhitong's private affairs, he himself is a native of Kulimu City in the Ganman Alliance. Once the war burns to his hometown, I don't know how many people will die, so he is ready to follow Ji Ya. If there is a war, he will try to persuade the city of Kurim to surrender.

It is naturally best not to fight, Ji Ya also wanted to learn more about the border people from Xin Zhitong, so he asked someone to settle the disciples of the Dragon Sword Sect first, and led Xin Zhitong to the command room, Meng Mengda and Zhu Ye Qingrou were there, and a few people had just sat down, but someone came to report that the messenger who went to Ulanthia had returned......
