Chapter Thirty-Nine: The State? Country!

Ouyang Xiu sat on the grass and did not greet those victorious soldiers as enthusiastically as other civil officials, his expression was somewhat gloomy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Glancing at the blood stains left on the soldiers' bodies, he said to Gaga, who was guarding his side: "Are all the sources of income in the Hami Qingxiang Kingdom from robbery?" ”

Gaga, reluctantly retracting his gaze, said enviously: "Yes, we have some outputs of our own, but those outputs are too small to feed all of them, so the king said that temporary plunder is a means for us to feed ourselves." ”

Ouyang Xiu said to Ga Ga with a solemn expression: "Gaga, you must remember that robbery can feed a group of horse thieves, but there is no way to make a country prosperous, and a country that started by robbery but has no ability to support itself will not exist for long, this sentence is a big truth, you must remember." ”

Gagaku said suspiciously, "But the king said that every nation was built on the first bloodshed and plunder.

Only by raising enough wealth in the shortest possible time can the road be paved for the establishment of the state. ”

Ouyang Xiu said leisurely: "What is a country?

A complete country is composed of the people, land, autonomy and government, and the birth of a country will never be imposed on the people by external forces, but should be produced by the spontaneous recognition of the people themselves.

Nowadays, Qingxiang Country does not conform to this model, and through the deepening of his understanding of Qingxiang Country these days, the old man found that the establishment of Qingxiang Country was actually imposed on the people by Tie Xinyuan's personal will.

From the very beginning, he did not think of getting the people to agree with his authority spontaneously, but through coercion, inducement, and then subjugation of the original followers, and then to achieve his dream of becoming emperor.

And there is always an end to these two means of coercion and inducement, when a country becomes bigger and bigger, it is impossible for him to use these two means to curry favor and buy all the people, contradictions always exist, and sooner or later one day will erupt.

Once the contradiction really breaks out, Tie Xinyuan will not have a good end except for the death of the clan. ”

Ouyang Xiu's words were very profound, which was far beyond the scope of Gaga's understanding, Ouyang Xiu looked at Gaga's ignorant face, sighed, and refocused his attention on the extremely rich loot in front of him.

Ga Ga is not a good listener, these words should be said to Tie Xinyuan, but unfortunately, Tie Xinyuan will not be able to listen to these words.

After Ouyang Xiu carefully studied the situation of the Qingxiang Kingdom, he found that this country that had just been established could not be called a country, to be precise, it was still a tribe.

And it is a tribe that marauds for the purpose of plundering.

If it weren't for the Qarakhanid's invasion of the Uighurs, the Uighur king would not have been able to take care of the changes in Yizhou, and in normal times, the Uighur king would not have been able to give Tie Xinyuan any chance to sit on the throne.

Tie Xinyuan Jianguo has always been staggering on the blade, if there is a wrong step under his feet, the consequences are unpredictable.

What Ouyang Xiu couldn't understand the most was how Tie Xinyuan had come to this point, how he had accurately predicted that the Qarakhanid would invade the Uighurs, and how he had let the ambitious Khitans let Hami go unchecked.

How he went from being two lonely people to a race of millions of people.

None of Tie Xinyuan's actions are in line with common sense.

He would love to go to Hami to see for himself and solve these mysteries that were covered by clouds.

In fact, in Ouyang Xiu's heart, Qingxiang Country was not the biggest problem, and the change in Tie Xinyuan's heart was what worried him the most.

Qingxiang Country is just an insignificant existence, even if there is no Qingxiang Country, the Great Song Dynasty is still the overlord of the south.

With Qingxiang Country, it will just make the current situation in the Great Song Dynasty look better.

The Great Song Dynasty can conquer the Qingtang Dynasty, and if the timing is used well, it may not be able to take advantage of the chaotic situation in the Qingtang Dynasty.

However, there is no such possibility in Western Xia and Khitan, and even with the help of Tie Xinyuan, it is still an unattainable dream to defeat these two countries militarily.

If Tie Xinyuan is defeated in the Western Regions, then he can only return to the Great Song Dynasty, how likely is it that a person who has become accustomed to giving orders will bow down and become small?

A Song man like him, who has become a wolf, once he returns to the Great Song Dynasty, which is full of sheep, the consequences are unpredictable.

Ouyang Xiu's worries were justified, Tie Xinyuan had also been worried about Yiyun father and son, and Hu Runur's forbearance was exactly in line with his previous guess.

Ouyang Xiu didn't fail to see the broken corpses on the grassland, nor did he fail to see those numb women and children, all of which proved that there was no longer the concept of life in Tie Xinyuan's heart.

At this time, I am afraid that there is only the word profit in his chest!

Human lives have also become cold numbers.

When Ouyang Xiu was worried about Tie Xinyuan, Tie Xinyuan took Zhao Wan to fish by the Daoliu River.

In fact, fishing is already a bit of a beautification for both of them.

Tie Xinyuan's fishing method is very simple, light the sealed gunpowder jar and throw it into the inverted river, watch the jar explode, set off a column of water, and the water surface is full of unconscious rain, and then let the guards be responsible for fishing downstream.

Few people have been to the river for tens of thousands of years, and most of the grass-headed Tatars who come here happen to be non-fish-eaters.

Therefore, every time a powder bullet explodes, the harvest is extremely rich.

Tie Xinyuan pointed to the dense fish on the river and said to Zhao Wan: "Look, this is the consequence of unfair distribution.

Fishermen in Tokyo need to work a thousand times more to get a fresh fish......"

"That's not right! The Tokyo fisherman and the fisherman of the Daoliu River actually get the same, a fresh fish can be sold for 80 wen in Tokyo, and you don't want it for nothing in the Daoliu River. ”

"It's hard for you to deceive now, don't always be so smart in the future and look like I'm an idiot."

Tie Xinyuan threw the last gunpowder bullet in his hand into the inverted river, sat on the fluffy grass, and beckoned to Zhao Wan to sit in his arms.

Zhao Wanjiao fell into Tie Xinyuan's arms with a smile, looked up at his face and smiled: "Listen to my mother, she used to be very smart, and she has only become stupid since she gave birth to me, and I am estimated to be stupid after I give birth to a child." ”

Tie Xinyuan naturally poked his hand into Zhao Wan's arms, and sighed: "You refuse to give me this opportunity to make you stupid." ”

"After the steppe of the grass-headed Tatars, will you not come to your land? You can wait so many years, why can't you wait another month?

You'll get what you want.

By the way, we swaggered through Qingtang like this, those two women who always want to sleep with you won't be in danger, right? ”

Tie Xinyuan shook his head helplessly and said: "It shouldn't be, Brother Qiao took his wife to Lintao to pick up Wei Chi Zhuozhuo and them, at this time, Blind Felt will not want to offend Zhuoma, and this little face will still be given."

In addition, when we passed by Michuan City, the sweat spot guy was very wrong.

Not only did he desperately stuff his men into our ranks, but he didn't even seem to covet the goods we brought, which was very inconsistent with the character of the Qingtang people.

And, I don't know if you've found it, there are a lot of Song people in the sweat-spotted official village. ”

Zhao Wan said thoughtfully: "The maids in the official village seem to be all Song people, and they have good looks and demeanor.

Among them was an older woman who made tea the second best I had ever seen.

Even if there are not many such women in Tokyo, she has such skills, no matter which minister's mansion she can live well, how can she go to the remote Michuan? ”

Tie Xinyuan laughed and said: "Fu Bi really made a bloody investment in order to pass through the river, and even an elite like an official wife is willing to be sent to Michuan." ”

"Official's wife? What's going on? ”

Tie Xinyuan found that he had lost his words, and he didn't intend to hide it for the emperor, so he said directly: "The wife of the criminal official." ”

Zhao Wan's eyes immediately widened and she said in surprise: "You said that the woman I saw was the wife of an official?" ”

Tie Xinyuan said with a smile: "That's right, maybe there is a bear tattooed on people's buttocks, leopards, tigers and other things, all of them are meritorious heroes of the Great Song Dynasty, if there is really a leopard on the buttocks, you can be exempted from etiquette when you see your father, and you can enter and leave the inner courtyard of the palace!" ”

"You've seen it?" Zhao Wan quickly discovered the point in Tie Xinyuan's words.

"I haven't seen it, Meng Yuanzhi is common!"

Zhao Wan didn't mean to continue to investigate, thinking back to the graceful woman she had seen, she sighed and said, "Evil, in this way, can they still be called women?" ”

"Why not? There are also tigresses among the tigers.

Wanwan, don't be sad for those women, the phrase Zi Fei Yu An Zhi Yu is very suitable for you.

As far as I know, the appointment of the wives of officials as secret agents is all voluntary, although most of them have embarked on this path for the sake of their families.

I believe that many of them have now fallen in love with this status, and since ancient times, women have been kept in high-walled compounds, and it is difficult to access some areas that only men can access.

Now that there is such an opportunity suddenly, I will definitely work hard after being at a loss, which of those women did not come out after being selected by the secret spy department, and is responsible for monitoring the world.

Don't look at your father sitting in the Forbidden City, he should know what the dinner of a prefect in Lingnan is. “

"You said those women so badly, why didn't my father know about the nonsense that those concubines in the palace did?"

Tie Xinyuan patted Zhao Wan's face and smiled: "In this world, the person who doesn't like to be monitored the most is your father."

He believes that it is reasonable for him to send people to monitor hundreds of officials, and if hundreds of officials want to monitor him, it will be a big rebellion.

Therefore, your father's palace is the most unconstrained place in the world, and it is not surprising that one or two ugly things have happened.

Your father thinks the world is a country, but he thinks the Forbidden City is home, the state can monitor it, and home is a place for him to rest, if there are those spies everywhere, what else is he resting for! (To be continued.) )
