Li Zhi appeared and sensed that the sky outside was already dark.

Pang Cry rushed over and looked around him: "I can't see the change, but I always feel that something is wrong with my brother!" ”

Li Zhi said curiously: "It's just that you have taken a Awareness Pill, just an Awareness Pill to assist in comprehension, you can also detect changes in your breath?" ”

"That's right, that's it! It should be a change in breath, and there seems to be more kind eyebrows and kind eyes on my brother's body, no, a sense of calm like water! ”

"I think it's better for me to be fairy! Okay, let's gossip, did you do something wrong again, and gave me eye medicine in advance? ”

"Oh, my brother is really wise, and he can even try it on at a glance! That's amazing! ”

"Come less, have nothing to do, and be courteous, already full of treachery!"

"It's just... It is... That..."

Pang Ti's expression suddenly twisted, and he opened his mouth to smutter, unable to say the complete meaning for a long time.

The old ancestor who was sitting far away beckoned to Li Zhi, and Li Zhi pretended to glare at Pang Zhi viciously.

As soon as he turned around and walked away, Pang Qi, who hung his head slightly, stuck out his tongue at Li Zhi's back, and carefully followed from a distance.

When he came closer, the old ancestor smiled and said:

"That's the case, Cry Er and Lin'er had a good time, so they rode on its back and ran around, I don't know if it was Da Qing or Xiao Qing, they flew forward to provoke the two of them, so somehow, people and cars rushed into the magic tree bush and trampled on a few magic trees!"

In fact, there is no need for Li Zhi to investigate, and he already knows a rough idea, at this time, Grandma Li and Yu Ran are fiddling around the magic tree.

The reason why Pang Qi rarely showed embarrassment was because Li Zhi had always regarded the Demon Tree as a treasure, and he had always instructed the Fire Qilin and the four little ones to go around in front of the Demon Tree.

In fact, in the future Chaoyuan Secret Realm space, if you want to be filled with spiritual energy, the Demon Tree's ability to spread and regenerate is very important.

Under the premise that the aura in the current prohibition cannot be provided with a larger area of spiritual display, there is no doubt that the Demon Tree can derive spiritual connotations for the secret realm one step earlier.

They are like aura seeds, after they mature in the forbidden spiritual environment, they will be transplanted outside the ban, and then a few spirit stones will be buried in the roots, which can make them spiritually regenerate and affect the secret realm aura a little bit.

Li Zhi smiled slightly when he heard this, turned around and beckoned Pang Qi: "What's the matter, as for being so careful, just a few trees, I can still eat you?" ”

Pang Qi borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and arched the chest of Gong Li with his head very interestingly, but when the head of the mantis turned, he caught a glimpse of the fire unicorn that was hiding behind the rock not far away.

So she was furious, pointed her finger at it, and chased after it while shouting: "It's all you, you made a mistake and hid and snickered!" ”

Yes, the fire qilin is baring his teeth quite humanely at the moment, and the eyes on his eyebrows are really shining with a smile.

"It, it will laugh?" Li Zhi was surprised.

The old ancestor said: "Yes, this little thing is getting more and more energetic, not only laughing, but also pretending to cry, and the two long eyebrows are drooping down, it's really like that!" ”

Li Zhi stepped forward, grabbed the ancestor's hand, and sensed the functions in her body: "The ancestor is still used to staying here?" The aura environment is indeed of great benefit to your old body, stay for another month or so, and you will be able to take the Snow Lotus Pill! ”

Snow Lotus Pill is an excellent way to replenish the body's depleted essence and rejuvenate aging muscles.

Although the yang energy in the snow lotus has become much gentler because of the neutralization of other medicinal materials, it is by no means something that a hundred-year-old man like the old ancestor can afford.

Therefore, the purpose of bringing her here is to let the old man have an extra wisp of spirituality in his body, so that he can integrate with the spirituality in the Snow Lotus Pill, so that the original medicinal power will become more and more round and moist.

"Good boy! It's good to stay here, I've been worried about it with you, Grandma Li, and when we go back, we won't be able to adapt to it for a while. The Old Ancestor's tone has always been so amiable.

"You can come in here at any time, and you can't go back to the outside world, after all, a big family is worried about it, and when the old people decide to come down, they will all come in."

The Old Ancestor nodded: "Although I am not a pure cultivator, I am also familiar with the way of self-cultivation, and I know the difference between the cultivation world and the cultivation realm!" Let's talk about it at that time, you and Yu Ran have both gone to the cultivation realm, and I will follow to see how far you can finally develop! ”

With that, she stood up, "Let's go, go help them, Yu Ran is not well, I can't help, you are a strong laborer!" ”

......

Returning outside, the three of Xin Jingshan were already waiting under the grape trellis.

The temperature in Guangzhou, as long as it is not rainy in winter, there is no problem to stay outside.

Of course, this refers to ordinary people, such as cultivators of the level of Xin Jingshan, who can stay on the top of the snow-capped mountain for a night and be unscathed.

Li Zhi took out three Qiankun bags and threw them to the three of them: "Brother Jingshan's is only my personal gift, and the number of two of the two brothers Xiang Wen and Yichun will be included in the thirty-six." ”

Si Xiangwen and Xing Yichun didn't feel any dissatisfaction at all, but felt very grateful to Li Zhi for thinking about the two of them.

Although they were in the same third-level master realm, among the four sects, there were more than thirty-six people at the third-level peak alone.

Coupled with the eighteen Grandmaster Realms they knew, as well as the core disciples in their respective sects, in terms of seniority, they were far from enough.

Li Zhi didn't know that the strength of the three major sects was so terrifying, and he explained the way to use it to the three of them, and went to the other table to speak.

At that table were the wives of the four older princes, accompanied by Rigaya and Fatuma.

The latter two were Sulu maids and governesses of Afifa, who kept them with him, mainly for the purpose of translation.

The names of the four ladies are Hassan, Eliham, Djemani, and Hailiye, corresponding to Mahdi, Adan, Mehammad, and Mansur respectively.

The Abdul royal family group is the highest in Mahdi's status, and among the female dependents, of course, Hassan is the leader.

They were also part of the shopping team early in the morning, but unfortunately they were all in their forties, and after running around for several days, Hassan and Eliham couldn't bear it at first, and the other two of course had to accompany them back.

After an exchange, Mansour's wife Helier asked about yesterday: "Mansour told me last night that he would change his position when he went back, and he planned to come to Datang!" ”

Hassan apparently already knows, and at this point to express her approval:

"The eighth brother's temperament has changed greatly along the way, I agree with his idea, if Mahdi refuses to help, I will personally ask the emperor's eldest brother to come forward!"

Li Zhi smiled:

"In fact, it doesn't matter if the position is not a position, the change of the eighth uncle's temperament is the most important, and if he can be freed from the extremely depressing job environment, he will have at least twenty or thirty more years of life, not to mention that Datang has me and Afeifa, and there is no problem in buying a street for him to operate!"

Helier's eyes lit up, and then dimmed again:

"Mansur won't agree, their twelve brothers have different personalities, but one thing is the same, that is, in everything they do, the first thing to consider is the interests of the family!"

Her words can be interpreted in multiple ways, with Li Zhi's understanding of the royal family, another interpretation of the family's interests is to fight for power.

But when I said it at this time, I was echoed by the other three ladies, and obviously they all thought it was a positive evaluation.

And Helier's next words also prove this:

"Mr. Li, you also know that the structure of the Arab Empire and the Tang Dynasty is different, the competition between the tribes is very fierce, and one negligence is likely to cause the imperial power to fall aside, and their brothers can only wait to be overthrown if they are not united!"

It is true that the centralism of the Umayyad dynasty was relative, and the power of the caliphate was far from the absolute dictatorship of the Eastern monarchs.

His power was largely constrained by the governors of the provinces and the councils of Arab tribal elders.

The Umayyad Arab Empire was essentially a loose political union of many tribes, ethnicities, religions, and classes, of which the caliph was merely the common leader.

The Arab Empire, with the exception of the Arabian Peninsula, was overwhelmingly the original dependency of the Byzantine and Persian Empires.

The feudal system had long been established in these regions, and after the Arab conquest, the existing feudal production relations were preserved and developed, and combined with the traditional Arab system, thus forming a distinctive Arab feudal system.

After the establishment of the Umayyad Dynasty, the occupied state-owned lands of the Byzantine and Persian Empires, the lands of the royal family and high-ranking bureaucrats and nobles, and terra nullius were confiscated as spoils of war and returned to all Arab Muslims represented by the caliphate.

The Arab Empire was vast, ethnically complex, and populous.

The Arabs were a minority as rulers, and their cultural standards lagged far behind those of the other peoples who were governed.

In order to overcome this weakness in Arab rule, the Umayyad dynasty actively encouraged non-Arab peoples to convert to Islam and promised equal treatment with Arab Muslims.

However, although the conquered peasants were allowed to keep their original land on the condition of paying taxes, more land was given to members of their own family, as well as to other Arab nobles, as income from the rent, called "Qatay".

Katay landlords generally did not live in the countryside, but in towns or in the capital, Damascus. They were forcibly dependent on peasants and slaves for their farming, charged high rents, and enjoyed a generous annuity from the state.

Qatay was also granted to the ordinary peasants of the Arab tribes, but not as land for rent income, but as their means of production and subsistence.

As a result of the permission to transfer or buy and sell, Katay later became de facto private property.

A larger Muslim private estate than Katay'i was called "Daia", and privileged people such as the Umayyad family and the governor held a large Dahia.

Mosques and some charities also occupy a considerable amount of land, known as "Wakov".

Wakov is not allowed to transfer, mortgage or buy. According to Islamic law, Muslims were exempt from all taxes on land except for religious tithes, and the taxes of the empire were mainly levied on the peasants.

The indigenous people who did not convert to Islam and still maintained their original beliefs, the Arabs called them "Dimi". Dimi people had a lower social status, they had to pay all taxes, including land and poll taxes, and were not allowed to hold public office or oppose Muslims.

The vast majority of the conquered peasants were the producer class, who rented the landlords' land, paid high rent of 1/3 or even 1/2 of the harvest, and other taxes.

The majority of them, the Dimi people, were in a particularly difficult situation, as they were forced to wear a sign around their necks with their names and addresses on them, so that they would not abandon their farming and flee.

In addition to paying an additional poll tax to the peasants, the Dimi were subject to various restrictions in their lives, such as not being allowed to ride horses, not to hold weapons, and even to have special rules on clothing and hairstyles, and their actual status was equivalent to that of serfs.

The cruel exploitation and ruthless oppression of the people will arouse the strong hatred and resistance of the broad masses of the people.

The various social contradictions of the empire, especially the class contradictions, the contradictions between nationalities, and sectarian struggles, were always high, and the strong nationalist sentiments inspired them to aspire to free themselves from Arab rule.
