Chapter 1 To Xianyang

1,300 years ago, a 270-year war broke out between humans and demons, and the populations of both sides were reduced by eighty percent. Historical records can no longer discern the cause of the outbreak of the war, but we only know that during that 270-year war, the two continents were devastated, and there were countless wastelands and corpses everywhere.

When both humans and demons were unable to sustain the war, the elves finally stood up and held peace talks between the two sides. Finally, in the Helga Mountains of the Tianfeng Continent, representatives of the human race and the demon race signed a peace agreement representing the peace and communication between the two races - the Helga Agreement.

After that, the Thousand Souls Spirit Realm finally walked towards the Great Peace Era again. While wars are not gone forever, wars of extermination between races no longer exist. Humans and demons began to trade with each other, intermarried, and slowly developed into the current situation.

The war of the entire Thousand Souls Realm is gone. But where there are people, there is fighting, and the internal war between humans and demons has not stopped.

On the human side, two hundred and seventy years of bitter war brought the "Xia Dynasty", a powerful dynasty that unified the entire continent at that time, into the grave, and Narence, an important minister of the Xia Dynasty and known as the Duke of Zijin, took the opportunity to overthrow the rule of the Xia Dynasty and establish the Zijin Dynasty.

Later, Nalens implemented racial rule in the Zijin Kingdom, because the Xia Dynasty was dominated by the Yan people before, so Nalens was afraid that the Yan people would return to the country, so he carried out a strong suppression of the Yan people, and at the same time raised the identity of all the European tribes. In the first hundred and fifty years of the founding of the Zijin Kingdom, the Yan people were reduced to the lowest slaves, living a precarious and dark life.

For a full hundred and fifty years, countless heroes of the Yan clan rose up to fight against the tyranny of the Zijin Kingdom, but just after the end of the Hundred Years War, the Jiuxiao Continent was famine and starvation everywhere, what force was used to resist the Zijin Imperial Family, which controlled most of the resources of the entire continent at that time?

Until the second emperor of the Zijin Kingdom, when Bonaparte came to power, the Jiuxiao Continent finally recovered a little bit of vitality after more than 170 years of recuperation, and at this time, the hero of the Yan people, Yun Zheng, was born.

Yun Zheng was born in Xianyang City, which was originally the most difficult area of the Zijin Kingdom, on the surface, the Zijin Kingdom established the Duwei Mansion here, but in fact, it is the same as the current Anduma, it has been in the Sanzhi zone for a long time, and there are barbarians everywhere (some of the few tribes who are not educated and only want to live in the most primitive way are actually still humans, both the Euro and the Yan people, but they do not recognize their bloodline, and call themselves the barbarian gods, so they are called barbarians) to kill people and rob.

The Purple Gold Kingdom exiled a large number of Yan people here, leaving them to fend for themselves while resisting the harassment of the barbarians.

Yun Zheng was born in this place, he showed incomparable command ability and cultivation talent when he was a teenager, and when he became an adult at the age of eighteen, he was already a platinum first-class powerhouse, and he was in the limelight for a while. The Purple Gold Empire was worried that he would become a scourge and recruited him into Beijing, and in the middle of the road, a Yan tribe who came to contact him risked his life to inform Yun Zheng, telling him that entering Beijing was a trap to kill him.

Yun Zheng disappeared into the embassy and went to the Zijin Imperial Capital alone, secretly investigated, found evidence that the Zijin Kingdom wanted to kill him, and made it public. But after he killed the killer sent by the Zijin Kingdom, he drifted away. returned to Xianyang City, which was only a small town at the time.

A year later, Yun Zheng rebelled and called on all the Yan people to fight against the iron-blooded policy of the Zijin Kingdom, and there were countless responses for a while.

After that, Yun Zheng led the Yan people to fight against the Zijin Kingdom, and on the other hand, he showed his powerful diplomatic means, won over the barbarians, and let them use it for his own use, and at the same time personally sent the elves to the Elf Clan, using the Helga Agreement as a breakthrough to let the Elves envoy to the Zijin Kingdom and recognize the status of the Yan people, thus getting the opportunity to build a country.

And at the time of this envoy, Yun Zheng and the princess of the Golden Elf Clan, Xue, met and fell in love. Xue Li overrode public opinion, married Yun Zheng, and returned to Xianyang with Yun Zheng, and began the arduous road of founding the country.

After 20 years of struggle and resistance, 800 years ago, Tianwu was founded.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Yun Zheng did not stop, he carried out reforms in the country, abolished the traditional clan and tribal structure, innovated the military system, and used military merits to judge the knights, raising the royal power to the limit at that time. Unify the country's weights and measures, merge the land into 31 counties, abolish the boundaries of the old Japanese closed areas, and allow the people to own private land, which is directly taxed by the state.

At this point, the Tianwu Kingdom can already confront the Zijin Kingdom head-on, and the slogan of the Nine Xiao Army's martial arts out of Xianyang appeared at this time. At that time, when the two countries clashed, as long as the difference in strength was not more than doubled, it was always the Tianwu Kingdom that won, and there was even a miraculous record of the Tianwu Kingdom destroying the 100,000 troops of the Zijin Kingdom with 20,000 troops.

At that time, the internal problems of the Zijin Kingdom were also becoming more and more serious, and the unbalanced rule of the human race would only cause disaster. And the regime built on top of the catastrophe will only collapse. At that time, the Zijin Kingdom had come to an end, as long as the Tianwu Kingdom increased its strength, maybe it could completely kill the Zijin Kingdom and unify the Jiuxiao Continent.

But for some reason, Yun Zheng stopped attacking at that time, and instead extended an olive branch to the Zijin Kingdom.

The Zijin Kingdom happened to be the third emperor Thomas ascending the throne, and he changed his previous attitude towards Tianwu and began to cooperate with Tianwu, and at the same time secretly planned the "Shenluo Plan" that later led to the founding of the HRE Kingdom.

After that, the Nine Howls Continent finally stopped the all-out war, and only local small wars were carried out intermittently.

And a hundred years later, people know what Yun Zheng and Thomas, who stopped the war at that time, left behind future generations.

A human continent that has regained its vitality and is re-powerful, and can talk to the elves and demons on an equal footing.

Five hundred years ago, Yun Zheng's life ended, and Xue lived in seclusion in Xianyang.

Later generations chased Yun Zheng's nickname: Yun Qin Emperor.

At the beginning of March, Tang Dou and his entourage stepped into the capital of Tianwu Emperor, Xianyang City.

Because it is really not suitable to publicize such a thing as the strange emperor running away alone, so when the army entered the city, there was no line to greet the emperor at all, only the prime minister Li Wei waited with a vote of ministers on the side, ostensibly waiting for Sun Nansong, the marshal, to return to the country, but in fact he came to stare at Zhengde.

After the strange appearance of Zhengde, the prime minister didn't say a word, grabbed the goods and ran, and even directly covered the mouth of the goods with his hands, for fear that this guy would make some trouble.

Sun Nansong was also relieved when he saw Zhengde being taken away by Li Wei, and said to Tang Dou beside him: "Di Renjie, I will ask Yuanzhi to help you arrange a place to live." I hope you focus on the overall situation, please give me some time about Xiangru! ”

Marshal of a country, the god of the Tianwu Army begged so softly, Tang Dou could only nod: "Don't worry, Lord Marshal." Since I am a brother to His Majesty, I have to think about him. The most important thing now is the casualty of the Tianwu army, and the guy who is pretending to be His Majesty. That's a big deal! ”

When Sun Nansong heard Tang Dou's words, he was somewhat relieved: "Don't worry, after dealing with these things, I will definitely find a way to make my eldest brother and Xiangru recognize each other!" ”

After that, he called Lu Yuanzhi and asked him to buy a residence for Tang Dou and the others, while he returned to the camp with the army. There are still a lot of troubles waiting for him, this marshal can be empty in three months, even if the Tianwu Kingdom is extremely efficient.

"Brother Tang, are you really going to wait for Marshal Sun to deal with Xiangru's affairs?" Sha Yunyue knows Tang Dou too well, this is not like Tang Dou's style at all.

Tang Dou lowered his eyes and looked at Xiangru, who was sleeping sweetly in his arms, and whispered softly: "Look at her." Just a kid who doesn't understand anything. How much did she suffer, how much did she suffer? What does the Heavenly Martial Kingdom have to do with me? What does peace on the mainland have to do with me? I want justice. I don't move now, I'm waiting to see the reaction of the Sun family, I promised you to give them one more chance. Hopefully they won't let me down! ”

Sha Yunyue shook his head, knowing that Tang Dou could not be persuaded at all in this regard, and it was already the greatest achievement to let this guy not directly enter the Sun family, and if he wanted to completely follow the will of the Sun family, let alone Tang Dou, even Sha Yunyue himself could not accept it.

Being kind-hearted does not mean not having a temper. The relatively irrelevant Sun family, Sha Yunyue will naturally get along day and night, and she has long been regarded as a little Lori like her own sister.

Lu Yuanzhi quickly found the right place. As the confidant of the god of war, Lu Yuanzhi's energy in Xianyang City is still very large, an ordinary residence, but just a sentence.

"Everyone, please!" Lu Yuanzhi personally took Tang Dou and his entourage to the residence, which was not without the meaning of surveillance, obviously because the marshal was afraid that Tang Dou would suddenly turn around and kill Sun's house.

Tang Dou and his entourage followed Lu Yuanzhi through the streets and alleys, heading towards their destination.

Xianyang City is generally a hollow structure, which is divided into inner and outer cities.

The entire city of Xianyang is built on Weishui, the largest river in the region. The inner city is mainly composed of Xianyang Palace in the north of Weishui and Xingle Palace in Weinan, across Weishui, relying on the Wei Bridge as long as 288 to connect the traffic on both sides of the strait, forming a magnificent palace group, and the scale is not worse than the Zijin Imperial Capital and Yanjing.

The two palaces are magnificent, all of them are high-platform buildings, there is the upper choke of the sky, the lower pressure of Li Shu that kind of lofty and broad, magnificent, there is a faint image of the king of the world.

The outer city is more than ten times larger than the inner city, and it is a county town inhabited by civilians, with developed commerce, frequent travel, and a wide variety of goods, and good quality and low prices. There is very little trade between the Tianwu Kingdom and the Zijin Kingdom, but there is a lot of trade with the Shenluo Kingdom, but the real largest foreign trade is with the Elf Clan.

When Tang Dou and the others passed by the market in the east of the city, they saw many special animals of the Tianfeng Continent, as well as meat, skin, tendons, horns, fat, and other by-products for sale. And the most famous fruits of the elves are also found in the market, these things are extremely rare in Zijin and Shinra, and only nobles have the opportunity to eat them. In the past, it was the blessing of Tokonstantin and Blizzard, and Tang Dou could buy it for Xiao Lori, but now it is easy to take it in the market.

Of course, the price is still not low, but for the local tyrant Tang, as long as the little Lori eats happily, money is not a problem at all.

Nibbling fruit all the way through the market, the cute and well-behaved appearance of the little Lori is deeply pleasing, and a chubby fruit shop owner directly gave the little Lori a small basket of blue fruits, which is also a specialty of the elves.

According to Lu Yuanzhi's introduction, Xianyang has two types of operations: private and government, and the government has set up organs and officials to manage market trade to supervise and promote the development of commerce. For example, the salt and iron officials, the "workshops" and "craftsmen" who manage the handicraft industry, and the officials such as Situ, Sima, Sikong, and Zhitian determine the specifications, quality, or direction of production of products.

From this point, you can see the difference between Tianwu and Zijin Shenluo. Zijin and HRE are only privately owned, and the government only controls the most important three kinds of materials: iron, salt, and grain, and everything else is developed by the market itself. In fact, this kind of market economy is much more advanced than Tianwu's economic mode, but the problem is that there is a prerequisite for this kind of market economy, that is, it cannot be overly involved by the departments that formulate laws and regulations.

However, Zijin and HRE are led by the royal family, and a large number of nobles are involved in the market, which seems to be a market economy on the surface, but in fact, it is the royal family and the aristocracy that account for most of the share, so that the space of real private operators is constantly compressed.

Up to now, the markets of Zijin and HRE have been divided into three parts, the royal family, the nobility, and the Great Chamber of Commerce. And what ordinary people want to run is almost impossible.

And Tianwu's way looks primitive, but it is more energetic. In the Tianwu Kingdom, like Blizzard, a large chamber of commerce like Constantine was greatly suppressed, and the way for the royal family to intervene in the market was the official business, and among the nobles, if the nobles with official positions wanted to intervene in the market, they could do it in an official way, although they were protected in many ways, but they would pay high taxes. If there is no official position, then it can be involved in the private sector, and the tax is low, but it is still higher than the private sector.

Private and small chambers of commerce are strongly protected by the policy, and at the same time, the tax is the lowest, which vigorously protects the interests and living space of these real private entrepreneurs.

At the same time, Tang Dou also learned that the Tianwu Kingdom was the only country among the three major countries that achieved "no tax on agriculture", which made Tang Dou quite surprised that when Emperor Yunqin formulated this national policy, it once made Tang Dou think that the other party was also a traverser like himself.

You must know that in the country of Tang Dou's previous life, it was not until the 21st century that the agricultural tax was really abolished, ending the situation that the agricultural tax was the main body of national taxation for thousands of years, and opening a new situation.

Walking slowly all the way, Lu Yuanzhi finally took Tang Dou and them to their destination.

A typical courtyard house, which is in Xianyang City's current pattern of every inch of land, but even if you have money, you may not be able to live in such a courtyard.

"Good guy, I'm also a housekeeper!" Tang Doule looked at the courtyard, rubbed his hands, glanced at the two rows of maids and servants standing, and smiled like a rich man. (To be continued.) )
