It's been a day since the Jinling City military camp was stationed, and to be honest, the Qiu Empire really deserved to have today's decline!

The soldiers who have meritorious service to the country, do not reward them at the first time, and use military merits to stimulate the domestic people to be loyal to the country, but no, the Qiu Empire only focuses on the gate lord clan, and ignores the people at the bottom, even if such a country can be strong for a while, after all, it still can't escape the strange circle of feudal dynasty prosperity and decline.

To be honest, Liu Wuben still had a trace of expectation for the Qiu Empire, but the court's performance of treating meritorious teachers made this expectation disappear.

I don't care, for Liu Wu, who can't be idle, he will never stay in the barracks like this, no, take Guo Jia, Zhou Yu, Dian Wei, Xu Zhu, Liu Xiong and a group of six people and set off.

Originally, Liu Wu wanted to take Xun Yu with him, but Xun Yu said: "When the army first arrived in Jinling City, everything should be based on stability. ”

Xun Yu's words moved Liu Wu to hear it, and with this touch, Liu Wu happily embarked on the road of Jinling City.

Jinling City, where the imperial capital of the Qiu Empire is located, is the most prosperous place in the Qiu Empire.

Ten people side by side are spacious blue brick and stone roads, of course, this is limited to five miles outside Jinling City.

Liu Wu's military camp was not far from Jinling City, and at the same time, for unnecessary trouble, Liu Wu and the others did not wear military uniforms to Jinling City, but wore ordinary clothes.

But even ordinary clothes can hardly hide the heroic spirit exuded by Liu Wu, especially Zhou Yu, who is a beautiful man among beautiful men.

To tell the truth, Liu Wu was a little jealous of Zhou Yu's appearance, it was really a rare little fresh meat!

For this reason, Liu Wu looked at Zhou Yu and teased: "Gong Jin, I don't think you should stand with us." ”

Hearing what Liu Wu said, everyone looked at Liu Wu and Zhou Yu in confusion, and Zhou Yu was also confused, so he asked, "Why did the lord say this?" ”

Liu Wu exaggeratedly covered his face and exclaimed: "Standing with such a beautiful man with a good demeanor, how can you let us ordinary-looking people live......"

Seeing that the lord who is not usually like this suddenly came in a way, everyone suddenly couldn't react, but after tasting it, Guo Jia and they all looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Haha......"

"Haha...... The lord is really interesting......"

"Haha......"

Liu Wu was right, when they walked on this road, from time to time, passers-by frequently turned back, and some women covered their faces when they saw it, secretly letting Zhou Yu go......

Jinling City as the imperial capital is located, the five major gate valves occupy a lot of it, the autumn empire is to the left, so the west area of Jinling City is inhabited by the five major gate valves headed by the imperial eunuchs.

The people who live in the western district of the city are either rich or noble, and ordinary people have no chance to enter the western district of the city, and the southern district of the city is a densely populated place, and there is a wharf in the south of the city, so the business is very prosperous.

If you want to see the strength of a country, you can deduce it from the living conditions of the people in its territory.

What makes Liu Wu unable to complain is that he can understand that you have to pay taxes when you go to the city, and it is a bit excessive for you to pay taxes when you go out of the city, and what is even more excessive is that the things you buy also have to be taxed according to the proportion.

This is really crazy to think about money, otherwise it would be impossible for the government to collect taxes so frequently, and there are many taxes that are not necessary to pay, but in order to collect huge taxes, the government of the Qiu Empire is also angry and can collect it!

Liu Wu and the six of them went into the city to pay the city tax and paid 600 copper plates, a total of 100 copper plates per person, and this 100 copper plates were enough for one person to eat in Jinling City for a day.

(The tax collected into the city is paid by people outside Jinling City, and if you want to go far in the Autumn Empire, you must bring your identity credentials, similar to the current ID card.) ）

To be honest, the people living in Jinling City are under a lot of pressure, because they wake up every day with taxes on their heads, although the taxes are not much, but there are more than one million people living in Jinling City, which adds up to a lot of taxes.

Therefore, the people of Jinling City toiled every day to earn these taxes.

The Qiu Empire is located in the south of the Yangtze River, in the land of Xuzhou, Yangzhou and Jiaozhou, and not to mention the distant Jiaozhou, Xuzhou and Yangzhou have a mild climate, and it is not an exaggeration to call them the land of fish and rice.

The above has created a prosperous commercial atmosphere in the Qiu Empire, coupled with the fact that the Qiu Empire has recently laid down the land of Jingnan, which makes the Qiu Empire's defense line will form a system.

In this way, the foundation of the Qiu Empire is relatively thick, looking at the crowd in front of him, Liu Wu couldn't help but feel some emotion in his heart: "In the final analysis, the Qiu Empire is the Qiu Empire, even if its power is firmly controlled by the five major lords, it can't hide its relatively prosperous business." ”

Guo Jia has been observing Jinling City in front of him, looking at the prosperous business, Guo Jia sighed with emotion: "It seems that it is necessary for us to come to Jinling City to check this time, even if the upper echelons of the Qiu Empire appear to be corrupt, and the power is in the hands of a few people, so that the children of the Han family have no future, but even then, this Qiu Empire is not an existence that can be manipulated at will." ”

Guo Jia's words to Dian Wei and Xu Zhu are tantamount to playing the piano to the cow, but it made Liu Wu, Zhou Yu, and Liu Xiong fall into deep thought, and Zhou Yu even said: "Feng Xiao is right, if the lord wants to get the realm he wants, there will definitely be a long way to go, and the foundation under the lord is really small compared to a country!" ”

After experiencing the intrigue between the clan lords before, Liu Wu thought that a country like the Qiu Empire was already corrupt, and he could bring it down with just a light push.

But in fact, although the Qiu Empire is already corrupt, after all, it was once a behemoth, and if you want to really overthrow it completely, you still need to be fully prepared.

Although there are many hidden dangers hidden in the territory of the Qiu Empire, it is a hidden danger after all, and if it cannot be exposed, the hidden danger is not enough to make the Qiu Empire fatal.

After Liu Wu heard what Guo Jia and Zhou Yu said, the corners of his mouth raised slightly and smiled: "Things are not as complicated as you think, and they are also not as simple as I think, we must know how to judge the environment we are in by the situation around us, and we can't just rely on the changes in one city and one place to determine the environment of the entire Qiu Empire." ”

Liu Wu's statement made Guo Jia and Zhou Yu nod their heads after hearing it, but it was that Liu Wu was right, what the real situation was like, only those who have experienced it know.

We can't just rely on our imagination to put it into reality, that is, we are irresponsible to ourselves, and we are also irresponsible to others.
