Chapter 305: Abandoning the Car to Protect the Pawn?
Xijian City is extremely important to Li Huaitang. Strategically speaking, taking Xijian City means that he has two towns, the two cities are not far from each other, and they form horns with each other, and the strategic room for maneuver has increased greatly, and again, Xijian City is in the west of Ningyuan City, which is the most convenient passage for Ningyuan City to go to Zhaowu countries in the west, occupying Xijian City, not only dredge the trade route and reduce the tax burden of merchants, but also expand the influence of Ningyuan City. Tactically, the entire territory where Xijian City is located is a big granary, and the grassland near Ningyuan City has reached its carrying limit, and more food must be raised in order to raise more people and more war horses, and Xijian City is Li Huaitang's timely rain.
Li Huaitang is most concerned about the resumption of the operation of the newly occupied Xijian City, and he knows that the first thing to do is to stabilize the hearts of the people, and gradually let most of the residents of the Xijian City through stability, so that the Xijian City can bring him greater benefits, and continuing to create benefits is the king.
After the ceremony of entering the city, Li Huaitang immediately summoned the noble merchants of the whole city to the palace in the name of the 'female' king.
There are nearly 300 magnates in the whole city who are fortunate to be invited, and there are basically few who can escape the sharp eyes of the wind lurking here, and the nobles who did not come have already entered the list of exterminated clans, such as the relatives of Asilan Dagan, the family of Chechnya, and the family of the Four Great King Kongs, etc. For the enemy, Li Huaitang's principle is very 'sexual', and the one who should be killed will not be missed.
In the palace hall, Liu Shangyue sat on the throne of the king of a country for the first time, and faced so many powerful people trembling in front of her for the first time. Li Huaitang stood on her left side, majestically glancing at the "VIPs" who had been forcibly invited.
"Congratulations, from now on, Bahanna has the first 'female' king, a beautiful and kind 'female' king."
Li Huaitang's gaze moved to Liu Shangyue, and he 'revealed' a faint smile to her.
The crows were silent, there was a big palace, more than 200 people, and no one responded.
"Do you have an opinion?" Li Huaitang asked coldly, the threat was strong.
"No, no, no."
Everyone hurriedly expressed their attitude, and their heads shook like a 'wave' drum. Comments? Who dares! The monarch and his family of important ministers have been ruthlessly purged as 'chickens' who respect monkeys, and how dare these monkeys hit the knife.
"What are the consequences of you neglecting the monarch so much?"
Hearing this, everyone immediately understood, "Whoa" knelt on the ground, shouting "Long live the 'female' king" and "'female' king spare" and other frightened words.
Liu Shangyue had never seen such a scene, and she didn't know how to deal with it, so she looked at Li Huaitang with a pleading gaze.
Li Huaitang said: "Get up, Her Royal Highness the 'female' king will let you get up and talk back." ”
There was another 'messy' thank-you, and Liu Shangyue wanted to laugh when he heard it. She didn't expect that these powerful and wealthy businessmen, who are usually sanctimonious and invincible in front of others, would have such a servile side.
"Her Royal Highness the 'Female' King invited you here today, not to see your sincerity and fear, but to make an appointment with you in three chapters."
Li Huaitang changed his face and tried his best to make himself look less terrifying, but he didn't notice that there were few people in the hall who dared to look at him.
"Chapter 3?"
More than 200 people in the main hall looked at each other, and the discussion was buzzing.
Finally, a weak voice flew out of the crowd: "I don't know which three chapters?" ”
Li Huaitang said word by word: "Those who violate the law will be investigated, all those who abide by the law will be punished, and the law will be enforced by notarization." ”
"Law? What law? Can we take a look? Several nobles boldly asked Li Huaitang.
"Yes, of course." Li Huaitang snapped his fingers, and the two soldiers in front of the hall took out a roll of white linen paper and unfolded it in front of everyone.
"This? Is it a Datang script? "Some businessmen recognized the dense words on the paper, looked at Li Huaitang in surprise, and doubted that this powerful general was a military general of the Tang Dynasty.
"You have a lot of knowledge, then please read it to them!"
Li Huai, the merchant who recognized the Tang Dynasty characters, nodded. The reason why he used Tang language was because of complexity and simplification, and for the sake of the clarity and effectiveness of military and government orders, all order documents were written in Tang language, so as to avoid mistakes, omissions and words that did not reach the meaning after translation.
In fact, the development and growth of a civilization, it is unthinkable that there is no main common language, and Li Huaitang, who has suffered deeply, intends to turn Bahana into the Tang Dynasty, well, to be precise, it should be Ningyuan City, Ningyuan City's current proclamations are all in the Tang Dynasty, and the language is also based on the Tang dialect. A new initiative of the Ningyuan City People's Ministry of Parliament to build a college in Ningyuan City is also Tang Yan.
The businessman, who was encouraged by Li Huaitang, opened his mouth to read the white linen paper that was unfolded by the two soldiers: "General Principles, before the law, everyone is equal......
Through the mouth of the merchant, all the dignitaries understood the content on the white linen paper, and the expressions of the people were different, some were unbelievers, some were disdainful, and some were worried.
Li Huaitang didn't care about it, and said: "These legal provisions are all formulated by the Council of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of Ningyuan City, representing the name of Ningyuan City, and it is in line with the interests of most people. In Ningyuan City, these legal provisions have been engraved on the boulders in the central square of the city, and everyone learns and accepts them. ”
"That's right," Liu Shangyue finally broke the posture of being a virgin and opened her mouth to express her support for Li Huaitang, "I, Bahanna, am willing to follow the example of Ningyuan City and print this article in front of the 'gate' of the palace as well, and from now on, the residents of Bahanna and the residents of Ningyuan City will be treated equally, and they will abide by this law." ”
Everyone looked at Li Huaitang, they knew that the throne of the 'female' king was built on the great strength of this general, and they were waiting for the general's statement.
Li Huaitang smiled slightly and said: "I am the husband of His Royal Highness the 'female' king, husband and wife are one, regardless of you and me, the will of the 'female' king is my idea." ”
Because of the previous agreement, although Li Huaitang was suspected of taking advantage of it, Liu Shangyue was not easy to argue, her pretty face was flushed, and her eyes wandered very ostrichically, away from Li Huaitang's playful expression.
"I will assure you in the form of a proclamation, and to the whole city, that as long as you keep the law, your life will be safeguarded and your interests will be protected. But if anyone dares to challenge the law, you will bear the consequences, and I will do it! ”
"If you find the law harsh, I allow you to leave and find your ideal paradise, but once you stay, you must obey it unconditionally."
"The management of the country of Bakhana will always open the door to you, and in a few days, there will be a proclamation telling you how to be elected, and the chosen ones will have the opportunity to contribute your wisdom to the country of Bakhana......"
As Li Huaitang said, the law is the masterpiece of the Ningyuan City Civil Ministry, and it is the result of a compromise of the interests of all parties, and the residents of Ningyuan City can accept it, and Xijian City will not be an exception.
More than 200 aristocratic and wealthy businessmen are now saying that it is meaningless, and in the era of panic and war, life and property are more important than anything else, and it does not matter who is the actual ruler, the important thing is that the ruler can give them a stable environment. Moreover, the general has already stated that they also have the opportunity to become a member of the ruling group, which is an ideal that many of them dream of.
After reaching a consensus with the most influential magnates in the city, Li Huaitang then issued a proclamation to the whole city to collect the hearts of the people.
The day after the announcement was issued, a goodwill banquet was held in time, and hundreds of representatives of the residents of Xijian City were invited into the palace.
The banquet started very cold, but wine can strengthen people's courage, Li Huaitang persuaded several rounds of wine, and the atmosphere gradually became lively, and several wealthy businessmen took the initiative to toast Liu Shangyue and Li Huaitang, who were sitting together on the main seat.
"Your Royal Highness, the honorable 'female' king, we toast you with a glass, and wish you a youthful 'spring' and grow old with the general."
Liu Shangyue smiled and said, "The concubine is not good at drinking, so if you taste it, you will stop at it, and let the general drink this cup for me." ”
"Okay, if you are a husband, you will block this cup for the lady!"
Li Huaitang refused to suffer a loss, and took advantage of his mouth by drinking alcohol.
"Admiral, massive!" The wealthy businessmen applauded in unison, and then persuaded three cups in a row, while Li Huaitang did not refuse to come, and drank non-stop.
After a few rounds of drinking, a wealthy merchant said: "I wonder when the general will return to Ningyuan City?" ”
"Oh? Want to chase me? ”
"No, no, no, no." The rich merchant hurriedly shook his head, "We're just worried, if the general leaves Xijian City, this, if the army of Shiguo comes, what will we do?" ”
The wealthy businessmen looked at Liu Shangyue intentionally or unintentionally, and then at Li Huaitang, waiting for Li Huaitang to give them a reassurance. After all, if there is another military disaster, no one can guarantee whether the new victors will plunder or slaughter the city, according to what they know about Yi Wei, this seems to be difficult to avoid, and Liu Shangyue, the beauty herself, is the princess before Yi Wei, and she is the magnet of Yi Wei's army.
Li Huaitang said with a smile: "Yi Wei is not a problem, although rest assured, as long as they dare to come, they will not be able to go back, you must have confidence in Her Royal Highness the 'Female' King." ”
"Yes, yes, yes." The businessmen laughed, but they couldn't hide their worries.
Another cow drink......
Liu Shangyue didn't like this kind of excitement, so she left under the pretext of the banquet, and she hid in a house to rest, but unexpectedly heard the conversation between two wealthy businessmen passing by outside the 'door'.
“…… Alas, I think we will either go to Zhezhi City or Ningyuan City, and we can't stay here. ”
"Yes, Yi Wei may not be terrible, but he is standing behind him is a Tuqi Shi person, but it is not easy to mess with, the future of Xijian City is worrying, there is a way to be a gentleman or not to stand under the dangerous wall, it is better to leave early."
"Well, I'm going to go to Ningyuan City."
"What? Going to Ningyuan City? Do you think that Ning Yuan City can block the iron hooves of the Tuqi Shi people? ”
"Hehe, you don't understand this brother, let's not talk about the business opportunities and strong city defense of Ningyuan City, just talk about the general's move, I will accept it!"
"What's the trick?"
"If I'm not mistaken, the general will withdraw to Ningyuan City in the near future, leaving our 'female' His Majesty the King in Xijian City, hehe, there is a university among them."
"Learning?"
"Yes, let me tell you, the general is abandoning the car, what a 'female' king, the general set up this 'female' king is simply a superfluous move, its purpose is just to give the beauty to the Tuqi Shi people without 'showing' their voices, in this way, the first beauty of Xijian City and Zhaowu will become the contradiction between Yi Wei and the Tuqi Shi people, hehe, as long as there is a crack between them, the threat to Ningyuan City will naturally be greatly reduced, and Ningyuan City will not have to worry about it."
"High, high, is high!"
