The Star Empire's Changyuan City

Since Miao Qianren was named the king of Wei, the city has become the capital of the country. The city has also been revitalized, although three months ago it had experienced a major war. But under the governance of Chengji, the traces of the original war were swept away, and on the contrary, it was a little more energetic than before. Although it is not as prosperous as Moon City, it also has its own charm, and unpretentiousness may be another beauty.

The flow of people coming and going on the streets, the hawkers shouting, everything seemed so peaceful. Like the court, Changyuan Castle also holds court meetings every day, but there are only four or five people who attend the court meetings, most of them are rookies promoted by Chengji and Zuoqiao, and they all have their own understanding of governing the country. The most different point between the court meeting in Changyuan City and the court meeting above the court is that the court meeting in Changyuan City is quite casual.

Originally, according to the meaning of Chengsi, a palace was rebuilt to Weiwang, but it was stopped by Miao Qianren. According to Miao Qianren's words, it is such a big place, but it is a little empty. Therefore, Miao Qianren changed the original county order yamen of Changyuan City to Weiwangfu, and Miao Qianren's daily life was in this Weiwangfu, and the usual deliberations were also carried out in this Weiwangfu.

The Chamber of the Guard's Mansion

Miao Qianren sat in the middle, there were two people sitting on the left and right, the first one sitting was Chengsi, and the left bridge did not appear here. The rest of the people are the staff of this Wei Wangfu, and they help Chengsi to fight or something on weekdays.

Cheng Si was holding a scroll in his hand and said loudly: "This month, Changyuan City has collected 76,000 gold coins, an increase of 5,000 gold coins compared to last month. The total tax revenue of the Kingdom of Wei was 638,000 gold coins, an increase of 37,000 gold coins compared to the previous month. A total of 263,000 gold coins were spent on military expenses this month, and 177,000 gold coins were spent on various maintenance. The total revenue for the month was 274,000 gold coins, a total decrease of 22,000 gold coins compared to the previous month. ”

Miao Qianren frowned and said, "If you want to talk about taxes, the entire kingdom is a lot more than last month, why has the overall income declined?"

Chengsi said with a smile: "This is also a normal phenomenon, a country cannot be on the rise, and our total income has also reached a total of 270,000 gold coins." The overall economic ratio is more than 20% higher than that of the entire Star Empire. As for why it declined, the reason was that General Zuoqiao recruited another 10,000 sergeants, and in order to buy equipment, this month's military expenditure increased by more than 100,000 gold coins. ”

This is also the reason why Zuoqiao did not appear in the court, at this time he was reorganizing the soldiers and was busy training them. This is Miao Qianren underestimated Zuo Qiao, Zuo Qiao is not a weak scholar who can only talk on paper, he is also a fierce general when he fights on horseback. Therefore, Miao Qianren was relieved to hand over the entire 60,000 soldiers of the Patriotic Republic to him.

Miao Qianqian said: "Then next month's maintenance will be as high as this month?"

"I don't think so, the military expenditure of an ordinary army per 10,000 people per month should be about 30,000 gold coins, and if there are no special circumstances, the military expenditure next month should be about 180,000 gold coins. Chengji said.

Miao Qianren nodded and asked again, "Is there anything unusual this month?"

Chengsi said: "The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the trade with the Yuanling Dynasty in the west has increased a lot. But ...... said that the temple stopped.

Miao Qianren said: "But what's wrong?"

"More and more people are coming from the south this month, and most of them are just taking a break in the country, and they are continuing to go north. ”

When Miao Qianren heard this, he came to his senses, and asked, "Have you seen any clues to Lord Cheng?"

Chengsi said: "I have also sent people to inquire, but most of these people's strength is very strong, and they don't look like people from the Northern Regions Lingyuan in terms of speech and deeds." ”

"Then look for you, where did they come from?" Miao Qianqian said.

Chengsi pondered for a while and said, "Judging from their actions, their manners are moderate, and most of their cultivation is good. As far as I can tell, it's from the Seven Treasures. ”

"Seven Treasure Domain?" Miao Qianqian said with a deep groan, then his eyes lit up, "If it's a person from the Seven Treasure Domain, then it will be a little interesting, do you know what their purpose is?"

Chengsi frowned when he saw Miao Qianren acting like this: "His Royal Highness King Wei, you don't want to join in the fun, do you?"

Miao Qianqian also realized that he was a little out of shape, so he hurriedly returned to his normal expression and said: "I, I don't mean that, I just ask, I just ask." ”

Seitera said, "Since you don't mean that, I'll say it." Then Chengsi said, "At first, I was also curious about what they were going to do, so I sent a few scouts to investigate, but I found that these people stopped in various cities in the Yunmeng Mountain Range. Strange to say, for some reason, the cities that these scouts went to were under lockdown, and no one was allowed to go to the permafrost. And there is also an extremely strange phenomenon, that is, the powerhouses above the level of the Sword King who have gone to various cities in the Yunmeng Mountain Range have disappeared inexplicably. ”

"Missing, did you return to the Seven Treasure Domain?" Miao Qianqian asked.

Chengsi shook his head and said, "Maybe these scouts stayed there for too short a time, and they didn't find any clues. But as far as I can speculate, these powerhouses above the level of Sword King should not return to the Seven Treasure Domain. ”

Miao Qianren asked again: "How can you see it?"

"There are two reasons, the first is that these people have traveled a long way from the Seven Treasure Domain, but they have returned in a very short time, and such a long journey is a great loss even for a strong person at the level of the Sword King. The reason why they came to the Northern Regions Lingyuan should have been on the orders of their master or sect master, but if these sect masters didn't want them to come, why did they have to do it many times? Or if they disobeyed the master's order and went back by themselves, it would be even more impossible, in the sect forest in the Seven Treasure Domain, the relationship between master and apprentice was very clear, plus they respected their master and respected their master very much. Under normal circumstances, there are very few cases of disobedience to the teacher's orders. ”

"Could it be someone like their master or sect master, just let them escort those below the Sword King level to the Eternal Frozen Ice Plain?" Miao Qianren said.

Cheng Si nodded and said, "This should also be impossible, the Seven Treasure Domain attaches great importance to the experience of the disciples under them, and they think that if they blindly protect them, they will inevitably ruin these people." The matter of escort is certainly impossible. If the sects in the Seven Treasure Domain really wanted these disciples to go to the Frozen Ice Plain to experience the mentally retarded, they would only let them go by themselves. ”

When Miao Qianren heard this, he said, "What do you think of Master Cheng?"

Chengji frowned and said, "I think they might be dead." ”

"It's dead!" Miao Qianren shouted out, but he also realized his gaffe, calmed down slightly, and asked a few people except Chengsi to retreat, and then said to Chengsi, "Chengda, why do you think so?"

Chengsi said: "There is only one reason for this, according to the report of the scouts who came back, these people from the Seven Treasure Domain showed an extremely panicked state after the disappearance of those strong people above the Sword King level, but then they stabilized, but it was like they had no backbone. Like some headless flies. If those powerhouses above the Sword King level had been ordered to leave, this situation would definitely not have occurred. ”

Miao Qianren nodded, but didn't say anything. Seeing him behave like this, Chengsi said: "King Wei, I only ask you for one thing, and I ask you to agree." ”

Miao Qianren said: "Please speak." ”

"Don't lead people to the eternal frozen ice field, now that the country is being defended, the domestic situation has just improved, and the prince on the court side is also eyeing the country, the situation of the country is not as good as you see. The defense of the country still needs you to sit in the battle, plus the ice and snow on the permafrost ice field, there are countless spirit beasts, if you go, if there is an accident, how can the people of the twelve cities of the country live. Chengji said.

Miao Qianren said, "Isn't there still you?"

Chengsi said again: "Chengsi can withstand for a while, but it can't withstand for a lifetime." Chengsi is only a scholar, and he may have some talent in handling government affairs, but I don't know anything about military affairs. Please also promise Weichen that you will never lead people to the permafrost ice field. ”

Miao Qianqian thought about it for a while and said, "Okay, I promise you." Never going to take people to the permafrost. ”

At this time, Chengsi's face showed a relieved smile and said, "Since you agreed, then I will be relieved." ”

Miao Qianqian said, "Do you have anything else to do?" If not, then I'll rest for a while, I was tired to death after practicing all night last night. Saying that, Miao Qianren also stretched and yawned.

Seeing this, Chengsi said: "That Chengsi will retire for the time being, and please pay more attention to rest to King Wei." With that, Chengji withdrew from the chamber.

Early the next morning

Chengji came to the council hall very early, and this is also his habit. Just as he pushed open the door, he found that there was a letter on the chair where Miao Qianqian was sitting, and he secretly said that it was not good, so he walked up quickly and opened the letter, glanced up and down, and said with a face: "It's the way of this kid." ”

At this moment, Zuo Qiao also walked in, he had already finished the work of reorganizing the soldiers, and as for the daily training, it was okay to hand over the daily training to the generals below, so today he came to participate in the court meeting. Seeing that Chengsi had a cold face and held a letter in his hand, he walked over to Chengsi and said, "Lord Cheng, why are you so angry?

Who knew that Chengsi stuffed the letter into Zuoqiao's hand and said, "See for yourself where King Wei went." With that, he walked to the side and sat down.
