Chapter 10 No Trick Wins Trick 3
The sun shines on the earth, millions of acres of rice in the whole territory of Liaozhou are shining with golden light, yellow and clear rice, full of grains, swaying with the wind heavily, churning with rolling golden waves.
There are two rivers of life in Liaozhou, which have nurtured seven million people in Liaozhou and enabled them to live a comfortable and peaceful life. These two rivers were born from the same source. All from the west of the Jiangyuan County on the mountain of the stream confluence, out of the Jiangyuan County will be divided into two, one flows to the central Fulai County, across the entire Liaozhou through Nanning to the east of Guangjiang County and finally flows into the East China Sea, called the Chunsheng River, the other river flows to the southeast through the two counties of Haimen under the river into the South China Sea, called the Autumn Harvest River.
The two rivers are fertile for thousands of miles, and the grain is thousands of acres. Since there are abundant water sources up and down the two rivers all year round, there will be endless food in the land of Liaozhou every year. The common people are extremely wealthy.
Liaozhou has become a king, not only in Liaozhou, but even in the entire Tianwu Kingdom, there are endless legends about him becoming the king Zhao Xiu.
Liaozhou, located in the southernmost part of the Tianwu Kingdom, has been a barren land since ancient times. In the eleventh year of Tianwu, Emperor Tianqi issued a decree to crown Zhao Xiu as the king and fief Liaozhou. Then Zhao Xiu, who was only 12 years old, went to Liaozhou to govern. Since then, Liaozhou has embarked on an uphill road, and it is a thriving scene. Liaozhou has also changed from a poor and desolate place to a rich state that it is known for today.
However, only he knew that he had been assassinated no less than 100 times between the eleventh year of Tianwu and the fifteenth year of Tianwu.
In the fifteen years of Tianwu, there were two big jokes. In June of this year, under the capital of Chengwang Zhao Xiu, nearly 3,000 artists continued to emerge in the inland of Liaozhou almost in a month, distributed throughout Liaozhou. All of a sudden, Liaozhou has become the most desirable place for men in the world. Just when the forces of all parties focused their attention on Liaozhou, there was a news in Liaozhou that made the world laugh, and Zhao Xiu, the king of Cheng, spent a lot of money to build art in the whole territory because of his love for beauty, so as to summon the beauties of the world to gather in Liaozhou. What is surprising is that Zhao Xiu actually built the "Xianghua Building", which is known as the largest art in the martial arts country in the whole day, at the door of his own house
For a time, there was a limerick poem circulating in the streets and alleys of Liaozhou: "Nanning produces rich businessmen, and Tianwu becomes kings." Love money and beauty, build a thousand buildings overnight. The people of Liaozhou have speculated whether the princess of Chengwangfu is going to fry the pot, after all, the princess Chengwang only married into Chengwangfu in March of the same year. But as the people expected, King Cheng Zhao Xiu did not take a concubine, as if these two people were living a good life.
In July of the same year, another news came out in Liaozhou, in order to reclaim all the wasteland in Liaozhou into fertile soil, King Cheng of Liaozhou gathered a large number of people to recruit people from various states of Tianwu to go to Liaozhou to reclaim land. King Cheng scattered his family's wealth and transported tens of millions of catties of grain and placed them on all the roads leading to Liaozhou for those who could not eat to migrate to Liaozhou. In just three months, the population of Liaozhou has increased by more than 1.2 million.
In spite of the opposition of the officials in Liaozhou, he insisted on changing the only 50,000 Liaozhou troops in Liaozhou into a grain collection army, and the soldiers became peasants who specialized in cultivating and irrigating the fields for the people, building fortifications, and reclaiming the land. In this way, 50,000 soldiers put down their butcher knives, picked up farm tools, and went to farm!
For some reason, Zhao Xiu has never been assassinated again, perhaps in the eyes of the world, Liaozhou is like a peach that can be picked at will without any defense.
Liaozhou, Nanning.
The political center of Liaozhou. Nanning City is very lively, in Nanning City you will never only see Liaozhou locals, here you can see merchants from various states of Tianwu Kingdom, and even merchants from other countries.
The mansion of King Cheng was built in the center of Nanning City, the predecessor of the palace was the residence of the king of Nanshan in the former Shang Dynasty, and later Zhao Xiu expanded it, and it became the current huge mansion of King Cheng.
The Chengwang Mansion is divided into three courtyards, east, west and middle, and there is a huge garden in the south. There are numerous guards in the southeast and northeast corners and on the entire west side. There are watchtowers at the four corners of the guard camp, and except for the west courtyard, where the Wangfu and her dependents live, the palace is almost all under the watchtower's watch.
At this time, a man and a woman in Cuixiu Garden were walking one after the other, and the one walking in front was Zhao Xiu, the owner of the entire palace, and the one behind was of course the hostess Wang Miao.
"You go slowly, I can't reach you?" Wang Miao was wearing a white dress and chasing after Zhao Xiu with a flower on her head. Look at Zhao Xiu again, he is wearing a black cloth coat, which is very old. Wang Miao kept patting the ashes on Zhao Xiu's body with her hands.
"Oh, what are you doing with me? I'm about to go out and it's too late. Hey, what are you doing with this dress," Zhao Xiu's footsteps not only did not slow down, but became faster. Like a child, he walked and avoided Wang Miao's hand.
Zhao Xiu didn't get up until three poles in the morning, he was an idler, naturally it didn't matter, but he didn't know what was crazy, and when he came in the morning, he yelled at Wang Miao to find the most worn and old clothes for him to wear. But the whole Liaozhou knows that Zhao Xiu is very business-savvy, and the Tianxiang Chamber of Commerce he founded is making money every day, and he has become the largest chamber of commerce in Tianwu Kingdom two years ago.
"Your clothes are so dirty, can't you wait for me to wash them before you wear them?" Zhao Xiu's clothes Wang Miao never handed over to his subordinates to wash, and all the clothes were washed by Wang Miao himself. In fact, Zhao Xiu's clothes are only a few, worn over and through, as soon as Wang Miao wants to buy clothes for him, he gets angry and doesn't see Wang Miao for many months.
"What laundry? You're not tired, day by day, and besides, there's a reason why I'm dressed like this, and you pat the ashes off for me, do you know how much silver I've lost, no, it's a lot of gold. Zhao Xiu shook his head, blaming on his lips, but he was not angry in his heart.
While speaking, the two of them had already crossed the gate of Cuixiu Garden and walked towards Nianci Garden. Nian Ciyuan lives Zhao Xiu's closest relative, his mother Jiang Wanqing.
"Okay, okay, I won't shoot anymore, if you don't feel dirty, you can wear it out, you will get sick in the morning, and you won't eat breakfast, and you will go to your mother's place to have some breakfast before leaving, it's always okay." Wang Miao couldn't do anything about Zhao Xiu, he couldn't persuade anyone to get up.
Wang Miao and Zhao Xiu grew up together, they both know each other, so Wang Miao never works with him, he is silently paying, Zhao Xiu is not a fool, the more Wang Miao is like this, the less he tastes.
Zhao Xiu is really in a hurry, "I won't go to ask my mother for peace, you go on my behalf, I'll go out of the house later, don't say that I'm coming to the West Courtyard, the province won't give her an old man's peace when she comes, let her think blindly." ”
"How can you skip breakfast? It's not good for your health. Wang Miao really couldn't walk Zhao Xiu, so she had to trot two steps and said breathlessly.
