It was a full month before the officials from all over the country reported the statistical results, and then Li Ying, the future candidate for the 'Hubu Shangshu', reported that the entire income of Liangshan this year was a full 2,237,500 taels of silver!

This is still the net income after deducting all the military salaries, building castles, building chariots and ships, preparing armaments, cultivating fields, and so on, and the people are also well fed and clothed, and the people are attached to them.

Therefore, officials at all levels have written to suggest that Du Jia be the king, which is justified, and even Wang Lezhi, Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng and others have taken turns to advise.

After all, for most scholars, they attach great importance to their reputation, one is a thief, the other is an official, the two seem to have similar actual power, but the status in their minds is very different, as long as Du Jia is the king, they can be officials logically.

Of course, they won't say that, but say that after officially becoming the king, it is equivalent to having a name and becoming a prince all the way, so that more talents can be attracted to defect, especially those who read, and now the nine prefectures and nearly 100 counties under the rule of Liangshan are on the right track, and the demand for officials at all levels is also increasing.

Du Jia also made up his mind after thinking about it again, on this day he recruited all the core personnel under his command, and then slowly drew a circle along the map on the middle table along all the prefectures and cities that now belong to Liangshan, including Shuibo Liangshan itself and Dongting Lake, everyone didn't know what he was going to do, they all watched intently.

Then Du Jia smiled slightly, pointed to the 'circle' and said: "Everyone, in the past few years, with the joint efforts of the brothers, we have actually controlled such an area, these days many brothers are suggesting that I be the king, I weigh it and feel that it is indeed time, from today I will officially start to call the king, this circle is our domain, our country name is Tang, I hope to be able to restore the glory of my Tang Dynasty." ”

The choice of 'Tang' as the national name Du Jia has long been considered, as a later generation, he is naturally familiar with the entire Chinese history, although he is not a professional in history, but the song of the dynasty still knows.

"Xia Shang and Western Zhou, Eastern Zhou is divided into two sections, Spring and Autumn and Warring States, one unification of Qin and Han Dynasty, three points of Wei, Shu and Wu, two Jin Dynasty before and after, the Northern and Southern Dynasties stand side by side, Sui and Tang dynasties are passed on, after the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, the dynasty is over."

Among them, except for the two ancient slave countries of Xia and Shang, because at that time they could only rely on oracle bone inscriptions to record history, the information was really limited, and the productivity at that time was also very low, and it was really difficult to comment on the merits and demerits, and the rest of the dynasties can be divided into five grades according to the comprehensive strength of culture, governance, martial arts, reputation, etc.

Among them, the worst is naturally the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, these two complete troubled times, at that time were foreign invasions from all directions, the country was in chaos, today you are king, tomorrow I rebel, there is not even a unified regime, the people do not want to live and work in peace and contentment, even the minimum life safety is not guaranteed, especially some completely uncivilized barbarians even retain the habit of cannibalism, at that time the people of the Central Plains are called two-legged sheep, women are even more miserable, at night by all kinds of abuse, during the day may have changed the amount of food, In this era, it can not be called a 'human' life.

Slightly better than this is the Warring States, the Qin Dynasty, the two Jin Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty, these dynasties, they are all war-torn years without exception, during the Warring States Period, it was Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, Qin Seven countries took turns to annihilate and annex hundreds of small countries around them, and finally the remaining seven brothers pinched each other; Although the Qin Dynasty has the first emperor Yingzheng such an eloquent emperor, the impact on later generations is huge, but its contemporary people will never think like this, just fought a lot of battles and easily pacified the six countries, before a few days later, the Qin Shi Huang began to toss again, repair the Great Wall, repair the Afang Palace, repair the Qin Emperor's mausoleum - this is a shocking project, it is easy for Qin Shi Huang to die and replace a more ridiculous Qin II Hu Hai up, together with Zhao Gao than his father can toss, But he didn't learn any of his father's merits, so the only second emperor of the Qin State who was so strong died, making the dream of Yingzheng's descendants to be emperors for thousands of generations come to naught.

As for the great mountains and rivers left by the two Jin Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, it is possible to make a difference, but the feng shui of the Sima family has been exhausted by Sima Yi's grandfather, and the descendants behind are more stupid than the other, as well as the Jin Hui Emperor who has left a name for the ages, "why not eat minced meat", his IQ and the current keyboard warriors on paper have a fight, and it is self-evident how hard the lives of the people are.

As for the Yuan Dynasty, hehe, many people have been fooled by some experts who call it 'the largest in the history of the territory', that's right, the Mongols are indeed very capable of fighting and like to expand, if it weren't for the sudden accidental death of Genghis Khan several sons to compete for the position of the Great Khan, it would be impossible to make Europe be trampled flat, even if it was divided into several khanates, all of them were mighty, and they all existed for many years.

But first, this is a Mongolian affair, not a matter of our Chinese clan, and people don't recognize you, and even Outer Mongolia has split off; Second, the other side of the Mongols' good warfare is extreme cruelty, when the Mongols besieged the city and attacked the country, they would first persuade them to surrender, if they did not surrender, once the city was broken, it would be slaughtered, regardless of men, women and children.

Then you say that I can live if I surrender, right? Hehe, I can only say that you are too naïve, the policy pursued by the Mongols towards the surrendered country or city is like this, first of all, women and craftsmen or people with special skills stay as slaves, and secondly, men who are higher than their ox cart wheels will be killed, in other words, only children can live, of course, they are also slaves.

It is precisely because of this that Mongolia was able to almost sweep the Eurasian continent with a population of more than one million, ruling dozens of times the population with them, so don't always say that they can fight, in fact, it was our ancestors who were conquered, trampled and ravaged back then!

And after the Yuan Dynasty entered the Central Plains, it forcibly divided all the people into four classes, Mongols, Semu people (ethnic minorities), Han people (Han people in the north), South people (Han people in the south), the barriers between the various classes are strict, and the four castes in India are quite similar, at that time the ancestors of our Han people are basically in the ranks of the latter two ruled classes, how difficult their lives are can be imagined, at that time the first two classes even if they kill the people of the latter two classes will not be questioned, at most compensation horses, cattle and sheep is good, it can be seen that the status of the latter is low!
