Legend has it that Emperor Wu Geng was originally a cloth cloth, because the perennial war of the empire in the previous dynasty made the people miserable and extremely poor. At that time, Emperor Wu Geng was full of poetry and books, fantasizing that one day he would be able to obtain a public name and make a contribution to the country. Unexpectedly, on the way to the city to catch the exam, he was unfortunately caught by the officer who conscripted the soldiers, and since then he has never imagined that he will become a small soldier.
Emperor Wu Geng was full of money at that time, but he had nowhere to go, and he was full of remorse. But during the march, Emperor Wu Geng also completely saw the true face of the empire's governance. Watching the people being killed by those bureaucrats one by one like livestock, Emperor Wu Geng's heart aroused anger. So he wants to change his fate, he wants to lead the persecuted people to stand anew and ask for hope for themselves to live.
The angry Emperor Wu Geng lived in the army, learning all kinds of killing techniques and governing the country for ten years, and slowly changed from a cloth cloth to a martial artist.
One day, Emperor Wu Geng traveled and patrolled with the team, and the places he passed were swept away by these troops. Emperor Wu Geng couldn't stand it, so he followed this group of sergeants to fight alone, and killed several people on the spot. But the lone tiger couldn't stand the wolves, and soon after, Emperor Wu Geng lost his strength. At this moment of crisis, a group of people from the rivers and lakes rushed out of the shadows and rescued Emperor Wu Geng from the group of soldiers.
Subsequently, Emperor Wu Geng, because of his courage and resourcefulness, was regarded as the eldest brother by this group of green forest heroes, and raised the flag to revolt together. Two years later, Emperor Wu Geng successfully broke into the palace and killed the faint monarch at that time. And was supported by the people, became Emperor Taizu, and named the country as the Wu Geng Empire, the country name "Wu Geng." ”
After Emperor Wu Geng ascended the throne, he vigorously developed the policy of peasant autonomy, issued housing and land and other sources of livelihood to the homeless people, and exempted them from national taxes for half a year. We have also adopted a unified policy of administering the armed forces, including political diplomacy and the political policy of advancing and retreating together in bilateral relations. The new way of governing the country proposed by Emperor Wu Geng at that time was greatly supported by the people of the country, and this policy was also destined to the long-term longevity of the current Wuyao Empire.
After Emperor Wu Geng ascended the throne, the invasion of the white race in Beiping, the economic reform in the west, the expansion of economic transmission in the south, and the occupation of the sea by the poor in the east.
One day, Emperor Wu Geng heard that in the East China Sea, sea beasts suddenly appeared, causing disasters and people's livelihood. So Emperor Wu Geng was furious and decided to personally lead his troops to strangle the sea beast. Unexpectedly, the sea beast is as fierce as the legend, its head is like a giant python, the body is like a fish's belly, it is several zhang long, and the tail has bone spurs, and it is called the python bone beast by the locals. However, this beast rarely appears, but every time it appears, it will definitely make the world change color, and the family will be ruined. When Emperor Wu Geng arrived, he felt that this beast was not owned by the human world and could not be reached by manpower, so he ordered all the strange people in the world to come here to help.
After a few more days, the sky and the earth suddenly changed color, and I saw that the sea was rough and the sea water was surging. At that time, Emperor Wu Geng was opening the altar to worship heaven and earth, and the sea beast flew out of the sea without any warning, and actually spit out a column of water and went straight to Emperor Wu Geng. At this moment of life and death, the sound of a phoenix chirping came from the south, resounding between heaven and earth. Then a fireball as hot as the sun fell from the sky and headed straight for the sea beast.
The fireball was so dazzling that it couldn't open anyone's eyes, and no one could see what kind of creature it was. After only a short time, the roar of the sea beast and the sound of the phoenix chirping filled the sky, and it was not long before everything returned to nature, and the sea beast disappeared with it.
Emperor Wu Geng felt that it was the gods who blessed him and the people, so he stayed here for a few more months. And in the past few months, Emperor Wu Geng has learned a lot about this lonely city. So on a peak in Phoenix Ridge, with a stroke of the pen, three big characters were written, which is now "Fenglan County." The word "Feng" in the south of the city and the magnificent "Lan" in the East China Sea are the names of the city, and it is called "the capital county" because Fenglan County is really a border fortress. Therefore, Fenglan County has also been passed down with this legendary story to this day, and has become an immortal legend for a hundred years.
At first, the group of green forest junjie who had saved Emperor Wu Geng later had their own home, some people chose to follow Emperor Wu Geng to become an official, some people chose to retire to the mountains, and some people chose to do business. Of course, this was all a personal decision of those people, and Emperor Wu Geng did not force it on them. Over time, the Wu Geng generation stabilized and became the division of the imperial clan. With the "Wu family" as the largest family in the empire, adhering to the will of heaven and inheriting the imperial hegemony.
After the disappearance of the sea beasts in Fenglan County, the economy, trade, diplomacy and military affairs gradually became regular, and new forces began to rise slowly. Among them, the most successful are the four families of "Xiao Hua Moxiang" who were canonized by the emperor himself. These four families occupy the four boundaries of Fenglan County and engage in different business operations. Respectively, the east "Hua", the south "Xiang", the west "Mo", and the north "Xiao" are the four mansions of Fenglan.
Donghua Province, located on the coast, makes a living from fishing, restaurants and transportation. Nanxiang Mansion, located in Nanjun, is mainly engaged in weaving, dyeing, tea planting, silkworm raising, and planting herbs. However, the surname of the main business of Xiangfu is not the surname Xiang, but the surname Tang. It's just that the ancestors made a living by raising flowers and planting herbs, and they were also called "the first fragrance in the independent world" by Emperor Wu Geng. Ximo Mansion is mainly based on aquaculture, and it is accurate to describe the Mo family in the sky and the sky. The Northern Xiao Mansion is mainly engaged in the production of excavated iron and bronze tools, and the generals in the empire are also full of talents, and they are deeply feared by the emperor, but fortunately, the Xiao family has no ambitions.
Fenglan County has four distinct seasons throughout the year, and the people live a prosperous life. The achievements made in the economy and foreign trade have achieved remarkable results. The annual tribute and tax payment accounted for one-eighth of the entire Wuyao Empire. The emperor came here every five years to worship the Phoenix Ridge Mountains outside Fenglan County, and many strange people and forces in the rivers and lakes also chose to come here at all. After all, legends are not very credible, and there are always people who are willing to believe in them.
However, the empire of the vast capital and county was bound to send bureaucrats to manage it. Although there are four provinces and large and small rivers and lakes forces located in this city, it is ultimately the land of the empire.
And this county eunuch's mansion is located in the most central location of Fenglan County. Its courtyard is wide open and closed, accessible in all directions, and can not only garrison soldiers but also store grain. However, the building is a little low-key, except for the city wall, which is quite high, there is no place for any gorgeous luxury. Compared with this prosperous Fenglan County, it is really a fly in the ointment.
"The capital county house" is also called the "city lord's house". "The lord of the city is a high-ranking official sent by the empire to live in the city, enjoying the treatment of a prince. The main duty of the city lord is to govern the security and guard of Fenglan County, and to protect the invasion of countries outside Fenglan County.
On weekdays, the gates of the City Lord's Mansion are wide open to show that they are open to the outside world and do not stop others, but today the gate of the City Lord's Mansion is tightly closed. On the dark red gate hangs a wooden sign that looks like it has been frozen, and on it is written in four large words: "No visitors".
