1818: The Strange Records of the North Abyss (Part II)
The country of Beiyuan is very strange.
The founding of the North Abyss was also due to a very dramatic reason.
Unlike Dongqing, Zhongzhao, Nansheng, and Xichang, although the power of the scholars was great, the royal family always restrained their growth and thought of various ways to weaken them. Beiyuan is different, not only let the Shi clan sit big, but also stupidly pass a system that is extremely beneficial to the Shi clan. In order to ensure the interests of the scholars, they also stipulated that the scholars could not be killed except for treason and murder.
With such a guarantee, the development of the Shi clan in Beiyuan can be described as a blowout.
As long as a man from the scholar clan is an adult, he can enter the officialdom and obtain an official position, which leads to the occupation of the positions of the government and the opposition with real power and oil and water, and the royal family has become a human-shaped stamping machine, and the political voice is terrifyingly weak.
In order to expand the influence of their families, some scholars have children.
As long as the family can afford it, they will die!
Anyway, when the child grows up, he will definitely be able to become an official, even if it is a petty official, there can be a qualitative change if there are more of them.
With this in mind, after decades of development, the group of scholars swelled to a terrifying number.
This also affected the inheritance rights and interests of the lineage, so it was clearly divided into the descendants and the concubines.
The concubine must be noble, and the concubine is a little higher than the commoner, but in front of the concubine, he is a servant slave.
Beiyuan seems to have adjusted the dynasty that has accelerated the twist, and the serious problem of land annexation has been exposed in just a few decades, and the interest groups led by the Shi clan are unable to fill the gaps, they eat too much, and the state tax revenue cannot be collected, resulting in an empty treasury, so that the country is poor and weak.
There is a saying that is widely circulated in Beiyuan -
The Emperor is just a broken doll in the hands of the scholars!
Indeed, the Shi clan led by the Beiyuan Yi clan took turns to govern and coup d'état, and the country of Beiyuan has never stopped.
I heard that there were as many as 20 coups d'état in a year, and the shortest regime lasted only half a day.
It is equivalent to the XX force just killed the hostile forces, and before they were complacent, they were secretly rubbed and stolen by latecomers.
The people of Beiyuan are also miserable.
In five years, the currency has been changed six times and the unit of measurement has been changed four times!
The most embarrassing thing is that the XX faction has just issued an ordinance, and the people below are busy implementing it, and four or five months have passed without seeing the effect.
The people of Beiyuan: "......"
There are 10,000 MMPs in my heart that I want to slap these Shabi faces!!
Finally, the Yi clan, the largest scholar clan in the Northern Abyss, stood out from the various factional battles and pushed the royal family to add their own dragon robes, and the people finally breathed a sigh of relief - I hope that the new emperor can be smarter and stop tossing - these people have refreshed the lower limit.
The first thing the Yi family did when he ascended the throne was to add a title to each descendant, hereditary replacement, and Yulu was according to the highest rank.
Illustrious for a while, the scenery is proud.
_(:з)∠)_
As mentioned above, in order to fight for more right to speak in the court, the scholars are alive and dead, even if they later beat the concubine into an inferior person, the number of descendants is still very large. According to a later world record statistical research, the patriarch of the XX nobles of the Northern Abyss had a total of 369 wives in his life. All year round, sleep one a day and wait for four to be dry.
The numbers for children are even more terrifying.
Four hundred and twelve sons, three hundred ninety-eight daughters!!
_(:з)∠)_ In order to increase the number of so-called children, their wives can have nine at the same time, and there is no limit to the number of concubines.
Although the Yi clan is not so terrifying, there are more than 100 descendants of the Yi clan.
In other words, in a place like Beiyuan, which is not well populated, there are more than 100 hereditary kings at once!
Each royal lord has the highest salary, where can the treasury be obtained?
After a small half a year's salary, he was so poor that he only had pants left.
In order to appease them, the new Beiyuan royal family could only find a way to squeeze some more oil and water from the people.
What the?
Lowering the king's rank and cutting their title?
No, they are all Yi people, they hold power in their hands, and if they are angry, they will wait to lose their heads in the middle of the night.
_(:з)∠)_
Anyway, the people are just ants, and ants want people to have such a big appetite, cut and sharpen!
The money in the pockets of the people is like a sponge, and the water can still be squeezed out.
The terrain of Beiyuan is northern, and it is only warm for a few months a year, and the rest of the days are cold, and the environment is harsh, and it is difficult for crops to survive.
The land produces little food, and in order to stabilize the national situation, the agricultural tax naturally cannot be high.
Even if the government only collects 20%, the people have to save money for a whole year to feed their families.
However, in order to appease the prince, the Yi clan repeatedly raised the taxes of the common people, and also added complex tax items to increase the revenue of the national treasury.
When the tax was at its heaviest, the government collected ninety percent of the agricultural tax, and the remaining one percent of the grain tax had to be exploited layer by layer.
In the territory of Beiyuan, countless people froze to death and starved to death.
In the years that Jiang Pengji has been fighting, Beiyuan has not coveted Dongqing's piece of fat.
They had also heard how rich and prosperous Maruzhou was, and they wanted to keep it for themselves in their dreams, but Beiyuan was so noisy, where did they get the financial resources to equip the military supplies? Today's soldiers are just poor people who have come in just to mix hot porridge. The real elite of the hardcover are all private soldiers raised by the Shi clan - they are the minions of evil ghosts in the mouths of the people - Beiyuan still wants to squeeze out troops to expand and invade her rear?
Jiang Pengji only gave them two words-
Hehe!
Before the Yi clan came to power, the barren Beiyuan could still muster more than 100,000 decent troops, which caused a certain amount of pressure on Jiang Pengji...... This is also the reason why she asked the official to let the soldiers not move to prevent Beiyuan from jumping out as a stirring stick at this time...... Now that the Yi family has been in power for nearly two years, the entire Beiyuan is already a broken doll that has been crippled, and Jiang Pengji's 250,000 soldiers and horses really look up to Beiyuan.
Tsk –
Outsiders thought that Jiang Pengji was killing chickens with a knife, but the official knew that she was bringing so many soldiers to kill the Beiyuan clan.
There are five countries in the world, and the number of scholars in the other four countries is not as large as that of Beiyuan alone.
The Beiyuan Shi clan is also particularly superstitious about blood, and the deformed "N Privilege Theory of the Shi Clan" is deeply rooted in the bone marrow.
A group of tumors!!
If she really absorbs it, she is afraid that she will have cancer.
When Feng Zhen told him that he had captured more than 100 refugees from Beiyuan, she was thoughtful.
The official gave way, "Actually...... Refugees had fled to Syracuse in the past, but the ministers had taken the liberty of deporting them. ”
Jiang Pengji smiled, "Can't be expelled?"
The officer gave way, "Give dry rations and send soldiers to send them away." If you are still stubborn, kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys, and if you can't do it again, kill them all!"
Although the people who fled in Beiyuan are pitiful, they cannot be allowed to invade their own territory and threaten the lives of the people in their territory.
When he arrived at the border, he heard that many refugees from Beiyuan had robbed the local people of money and food, killed people, raped and other evil deeds.
These people can't stay.
Those who didn't have time to escape, his wrists were much gentler, driving the Lord, and if he couldn't kill again.
If you were someone else, you would probably be scolded to death, but Qi Guanrang has always been concerned about these things for the sake of the overall situation.
He will not be soft-hearted to the people of the enemy country and put his own people in danger.
This group of people who fled and crossed the border also did not have to be merciful.
But—
Feng Zhen said, "It's just...... My lord, one of them claims to be your deceased. ”
Jiang Pengji asked, "What's it called?"
Feng Zhen replied, "Matthew." ”
Jiang Pengji immediately thought of a young man who was a little silent but had clear eyebrows.
The acquaintances in Langya Academy back then were indeed old friends.
"I remember Shaoyin said that the fertile land in Ma Xiu's house was invaded and plundered by bandits, and in order to avoid trouble, he had to go north at home......"
There has been no news for many years, and I never thought that I had gone to Beiyuan to avoid trouble.
