In the hinterland of the Central Plains, the capital of Dahao is guarded by four stops and eight passes: Cheng Hao.

The newly repaired palace is covered for ten miles, and the pure black palace wall reveals the atmosphere of slaughter.

Within the high walls, the buildings are closely arranged, and all but the central axis avenue are narrow paths.

In these gray-black houses, there lived important ministers of the country, who controlled a huge dynasty in this dark city.

In the very center of the city, there is a majestic hall standing on a three-step platform!

The whole body of the hall is pitch black, like a black hole that devours people, and after staring at it for a long time, people's souls seem to be sucked in!

On the main entrance of the main hall hangs a black and shiny plaque, on which are written three large characters full of sharp strokes:

"Yonghao Palace!"

As an extremely centralized dynasty, this hall was the center of power of the dynasty, and every major decision was transmitted to the rest of the dynasty from here.

Yonghao Hall is surrounded by open space, and there is only one avenue that runs through the north and south before and after, in order to highlight the supremacy of the main hall.

The civil and military officials had to come to the Yonghao Hall every day through the back central axis avenue, and they were usually presided over by the "Dazai", the chief of the hundred officials.

In the first two years of Dahao's establishment, Ying Hao led the country with great interest, but it was not easy to rule a dynasty, he was busy for two years, resting for less than an hour every day, and barely let the dynasty pass the most dangerous period.

After that, he didn't do it, except for the most important things, everything else was handed over to the "Dazai" who was in charge of state affairs.

And Ying Hao transformed the Yiling Mountain Treasure Land near the palace as his cultivation dojo, which consumed a lot of financial and material resources.

This is not the end, he also searched the world for natural treasures, used them for cultivation, and personally created a "secret armed force"!

Now seventy-five-year-old Ying Hao, under the accumulation of massive resources, is already a master of the sixfold God Refining Realm, and he has been regarded as a peerless Tianjiao in the past hundreds of years.

And the dynasty is also in good order under the rule of its subordinates. They have invented and improved more than 10 kinds of agricultural production tools, and have also compiled detailed seasonal agricultural books, which have indeed greatly increased agricultural productivity.

At the same time, the Dahao Dynasty integrated various resources in the Central Plains, unified deployment, and produced some important materials. For example, it has developed eight major iron ore mining areas, set up iron-making and iron-making institutions, and produced various iron farming tools for civilian use while producing weapons and armor needed by ordinary armies, and unscrupulously popularized iron farming tools throughout China

They did not impose restrictions on iron farming tools, but they cracked down on private ironsmithing workshops with great vigour to ensure an absolute monopoly on production technology and productivity.

In addition, another important measure has also played a major role in promoting the development of agricultural productivity, that is, large-scale breeding of cattle.

In the era of the Great Shang Dynasty, it was forbidden to slaughter cattle, even old and weak cattle. Because there were not too many ploughing cattle at that time, there was only one in several families.

Recognizing the role of cattle farming, Innocon Group has built more than 100,000 large-scale cattle breeding bases and hundreds of small cattle farms of more than 10,000 yuan in the Central Plains.

In the same way, official monopoly measures were adopted, and all private cattle raised by the private sector were confiscated.

In order to produce a sufficient amount of cultivated cattle, Incornesco Group uses unconscionable breeding techniques.

They find a grass with a short growth cycle and a high yield, plant it on a large scale, and then use it as feed for cattle.

The daily task of the cows is to eat and mate.

As a result, hundreds of bulls die every day.

Of course, this method of losing one's conscience is indeed very effective, and now the number of cattle cultivated in the territory of the Dahao Dynasty can not only meet the needs of agricultural production, but also have a large surplus to supply the catering industry.

It's just that the price of beef is high, more than ten times that of pork!

From an objective point of view, the material wealth of the Central Plains under the rule of the Dahao Dynasty has greatly increased, and at the same time, it has also led to the improvement of the total fortune of the dynasty.

If the ruling class can take care of the living conditions of the people by the way, then the rule of the Dahao Dynasty can be said to be rock-solid and difficult to shake.

However, herein lies the puzzling.

When Ying Hao delegated power to the court in Jianhao for three years, he set up an unchangeable political platform: highly centralized power, heavy taxes and heavy punishments!

As a result, in this era of great material wealth, the vast majority of wealth was paid into the treasury through various taxes, and the people naturally lived in poverty.

Moreover, under the high pressure of various severe punishments and laws, ordinary people are panicked, and they live in fear all day long, physically and mentally exhausted.

It is precisely because of this that the Xiqi Ji clan was able to gather a group of people and live tenaciously until now.

At that time, the Xiqi dragon spirit was born and the national fortune was growing, and the Ji family gathered the hearts of the people, united all the countries to cut down the country, and went straight to the suburbs of Chaoge.

The trajectory of the Heavenly Dao even has the trend of the Great Zhou Dynasty merchants, but to everyone's surprise, a descendant of Dongyi, Ying Hao, rose strongly and overturned the six-hundred-year-old merchants to the ground overnight.

After that, he defeated the Great Zhou coalition army with some seemingly low-end combat power and established the Dahao Dynasty.

After that, Ying Hao worked hard and exhausted to initially stabilize Dahao's rule in two years.

When Dahao's dominance stabilized, Ying Hao withdrew his hand to deal with the high-spirited Xiqi Ji Great Zhou State that year.

More than 30 years have passed, and the dragon fortune of the Great Zhou Kingdom has almost exhausted itself, but it has always been followed and supported by some low-level people who are overwhelmed by the burden of Dahao, so it has been surviving and has never been extinct.

Like a venomous snake that has been seriously injured for a day and has not died, lurking in a dark corner, waiting for the opportunity to launch a fatal blow!

Those who have the same idea are also Dayi merchants......

……

In the thirty-sixth year of Jianhao, according to the Ganzhi year, this year is the year of Xinwei.

It's April now, and spring is back in the land, and it's time for farmers to work, and tens of millions of farmers are doing a lot of farm work in the fields.

For some reason, during these three days, the weather suddenly becomes hot and dry, like in the middle of summer, and then returns to normal at night.

On April 14, people worked hard for a long day under the scorching spring sun, sweating profusely, and crawled out of the ground to prepare for dinner.

While walking with his head drooping, he complained about the strange weather.

"It's spring, it's such a big sun, and it's not going to let people live!" a man in his thirties wiped the sweat from his face and said a little irritably.

"Alas~ I've lived for so many years, and it's the first time I've seen such weird weather, shouldn't there be something big going to happen!" The fifty-year-old man with a hoe on the side was faintly worried.

"Hmph, big deal, if something big happens, kill all the evil old men, and kill all the things of the day!" the middle-aged man cursed viciously.

The "things of the day" he refers to are the Dahao Dynasty. The ruling class did not allow any unfavorable remarks to appear, and if anyone said a "no" word from the Dahao Dynasty, there was no discussion about killing them.

Therefore, the people avoid Dahao, and obscure and ironically call it "a thing every day".

"Shhh

"Cut!" the man disagreed, and said, "Now even the landlords are very dissatisfied with those damned people on the top, how can they care about us grass people!"

"That's what I said, but Bao Buqi was caught that day, and you can't go around without food!"

"Can't eat? I can't eat enough now, I wish I could go around! But how can I not eat!"

"Alas......" Seeing the arrogant appearance of the middle-aged man, the old man sighed helplessly and stopped speaking.

Call~

A gust of wind blew on the flat ground, kicking up a large cloud of dust, and the peasants walking on the dirt road in the fields were so embarrassed by this strange wind that a few people were even blown down in the fields because they did not stand firm.

Airplanes~

The sunlight, which had been very dazzling just now, suddenly dimmed, and suddenly turned from noon to evening.

It was overcast, and a cool breeze swept away the previously hot air.

"Ahh

"Is it haunted?"

"Run!"

The men were stunned by this strange sight, and ran home with strange screams.

The sky was still getting dark, the wind was getting stronger, and the hot air did not block the coolness.

The feeling of sudden chill made people shiver, and the atmosphere became even more terrifying.

"Run, haunted!"

"Oops!" a man ran so flusteredly that he accidentally fell to the ground, screaming in fright: "Pull me!

In a panic, his legs were not very obedient and he could not stand up immediately.

The fear in his heart magnified several times at once, and all kinds of cranky thoughts came to his mind at once: "I was dragged by a ghost! The ghost is going to drag me away! I'm going to eat me!"

"Don't!" he was stupefied by his imagination, tears and snot, crying and crying, "Help!

The instinct to survive made him desperately "struggle", and finally "got rid of the ghost claws" and got up.

"Ahh

He screamed exaggeratedly, venting the fear in his heart, his hands fluttered like a man in the water, and his running posture was also crooked, and he couldn't even run in a straight line.

As the sky gets darker and darker, the atmosphere becomes more and more oppressive, the wind howls angrily, and the turbidity waves emptilate.

A black curtain opened from the western part of Huaxia, covering Xiqi Zhouyuan, and in the blink of an eye, it covered the new capital Chenghao in a short time.

Dahao Palace, viewing rooftop.

Taishi, who was in charge of monitoring the celestial phenomena, was standing in front of various primitive sky-observing instruments with more than a hundred subordinates at this time, trembling.

The sun on the sky dome was already a corner at this time, as if a piece had been bitten off by something.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, it should have been the time when the sun was shining and the yang energy was at its strongest, but there was a piece missing from the sun, causing the sky and the earth to change color and become darker and darker.

The incomplete place expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the infinitely bright sun was swallowed up little by little!

Everyone shuddered from the bottom of their hearts.

What is the eclipse of that hot, dazzling, supreme being?

Disheveled!

Ying Hao, who was cultivating in Wang Ji, immediately rushed over when the sun changed.

The Taishi official was about to salute, but was directly interrupted by Ying Hao.

"What's going on?"

Ying Hao asked in a low voice.

“…… Your Majesty, this is ...... Eclipse!" replied the Grand Historian tremblingly.

"Eclipse?"

In the 600 years of the previous dynasty, there were two solar eclipses, and less than half of the area was eroded by the sun, but after just a cup of tea, it returned to normal, and the eroded parts were restored. ”

As a Taishi who once observed the sky, he was familiar with the main celestial phenomena of the previous dynasties.

However, the celestial phenomena are really complex and unpredictable, and the sky-watchers of all dynasties have continuously observed and summarized, and have only mastered some celestial knowledge that has rules to follow and a short period, and such celestial phenomena as solar eclipses and lunar eclipses have not summarized the laws at all.

However, judging from the relevant historical data, every time such a vision that shakes the heavens and the earth, there will be chaos, and natural disasters always cause disasters!

Airplanes~

The black curtain covered the palace, and the boundless darkness shocked everyone's hearts, and even Ying Hao felt depressed and a little tight.

The yin wind shuttled between the dark high-walled palaces, and the murderous aura of the palace became even stronger, wanting to compete with the darkness.

After a hundred breaths, under the eyes of everyone, the sun of endless brilliance was completely swallowed......

Under the dome of heaven, the land of Shenzhou, the heavens and the earth are plunged into chaos and darkness!

"At three o'clock in the afternoon, like the middle of the day, this Dahao is also. ”

Staring at the sun behind the dark shadow in the sky, Ying Hao said to himself:

"Evil shadows shade the sun, eclipse visions, omen of death?!"

At the same time, the Dayi merchants in the east.

King Wu Geng looked at the eclipse sun in the sky with his hands, and said with a light smile: "Tianzhao Hao is dead!"
