Chapter 3: The Future

Yun Yi turned around and walked away from Gentle Township into the study, his arms propped up on the desk, his hands and ten fingers crossed on his chin, and his deep gaze stared into the distance, Yun Yi wanted to think about how to go in the future.

If Yun Yi is still the same Yun Yi as before, he doesn't need to think about this problem, the previous Yun Yi only needs to be able to paint and practice martial arts every day, but the current Yun Yi is Yun Yi who inherits the memory of his previous life, in the novel, every traverser has a heart that is unwilling to be ordinary, of course Yun Yi also has, Yun Yi is not satisfied with the identity of a small nobleman now, and wants to be the king and hegemon.

However, Yun Yi in his previous life was just an ordinary person, when Yun Yi became a member of the traversers, Yun Yi didn't know what to do in the future, after all, the protagonist in every novel either has a protagonist halo or an incomparably powerful golden finger, and Yun Yi doesn't know if he has the protagonist's aura, nor does he find out what gold finger he has on his body, except for the complicated memories of his previous life.

If they take a wrong step, both Yunyi and Yunhua Yun's clan may be ruined, and if they die, they will have nothing.

After thinking about it for a long time, Yun Yi did not have a bright road to heaven in his heart.

Yunyi's Yunhua Yun clan is one of the hundreds of thousands of families in the Dali Empire, more than two hundred years ago, the ancestor of Yunhua Yun was a personal soldier around the founding emperor of the Dali Empire, in a major war, the emperor was seriously injured, the ancestor of the Yun family used his body to block the oncoming arrows, so that the emperor escaped with his life, and the ancestor of the Yun family exchanged his life for the glory and wealth of future generations.

The son of the ancestor of the Yun family is not the same idle person, his superb military talent makes him stand out, leading the army to fight for the emperor in the south and the north, and has made great achievements, after the founding of the Dali Empire, the ancestor of the Yun family was awarded the first-class viscount by the emperor by virtue of his merits, so that today's Yunhua Yun clan appeared.

It has been 218 years since the founding of the Dali Empire, and the Yunhua Yun clan has also been inherited for 218 years, during which the empire has experienced several turbulences, and the ancestor of the Yun clan has been protected by Mingzhe, so that the Yunhua Yun clan has been inherited steadily.

The current emperor of the Dali Empire inherited the throne at the age of 12, and now 52 years have passed, and after reigning for so long, several children, including his eldest son, have entered the earth before him.

The family family and even the emperor should follow the primogeniture inheritance system, which is conducive to the inheritance of the family and the empire, and the family in the Dali Empire can maintain this system, but in the succession to the throne, the primogeniture inheritance system has been broken several times, and the current emperor is the second son of the first emperor.

This also led to almost every time the emperor of the Dali Empire was handed over, it would cause greater or smaller turmoil in the empire, and every time a family was implicated and wiped out, the emperor could uproot a big family that had been inherited for hundreds of years with a casual word.

Even if the Yunhua Yun clan does not participate in the battle for the throne, it may be implicated, and such things have happened many times.

Now that the old emperor is 65 years old, I am afraid that time is running out, and another battle for succession has been launched in secret.

Two lives, Yun Yi didn't want to see his life in his own hands, coupled with the unwilling ordinary heart in his chest, Yun Yi decided to rely on his own efforts to make the family stronger, and even one day, Yun Hua Yun clan can also learn from Zhao, Luo, and Ji three families, and replace the Fang family (emperor's surname).

Yun Yi set the first goal in his life, not to be the king and hegemon, nor to pour wealth into the world, but to strive to make the Yunhua Yun clan stronger, and finally be able to control the fate of himself and his family.

Of course, if you want to make Yun's development and growth, its foundation is built on money, so Yunyi's first step is to make Yun's make more money, and the next step is to transform money into Yun's strength.

In the Dali Empire, only the first-class nobles have fiefs, according to the level of the title of a county to a county as a fief, if before the Dali Empire, the nobles' fiefs can be directly called the county, the county, in the county, the nobles hold quite high power, but now the Dali Empire has no such title as the county and the county, and the power of the nobles has been greatly weakened.

At that time, the ancestors of the Yun family were awarded the title of first-class son by virtue of their merits, and with the title of first-class son, they could have obtained a relatively wealthy county as a fief, but the ancestors of the Yun family did not choose those rich counties as the Yun fief, but chose a piece of land that no one wanted as the Yun fief, this land is now Yunhua County, Yunhua is the ancestor of the Yun family, which means that the Yun family is prosperous and rich.

Yunhua County has two characteristics, one is that it has a large area, with a radius of 200 li, which is more than ten times the area of an ordinary county, accounting for almost one percent of the total land area of the Dali Empire; The second is that Yunhua County is close to the sea, and the salt industry can be developed by the sea, and in this era, the salt industry is definitely one of the most profitable industries.

But the shortcomings of Yunhua County have stopped others: the land is vast and sparsely populated, with a population of only a few thousand; There are many mountains and forests and many barren lands in the territory; It is possible to develop the salt industry, but the salt industry is controlled by the empire, and the restrictions are very large, and you can make money, but you don't make too much.

Other nobles would rather choose a small but rich land as their fief than a barren land like Yunhua County, and finally Yunhua County became the fief of the Yun family.

Since then, the Yun clan has taken root in Yunhua County, and in more than two hundred years, the population of Yunhua County has increased from several thousand to more than 90,000, and three cities have been established on this vast land: Yunhua (County) City, Linhai City, and Chenyang City, and the grain produced in Yunhua County is enough for the whole county to eat.

Choosing the vast and barren land of Yunhua County as a fief, the Yun clan had a considerable weakness: the channels for obtaining money were very simple, and the income from selling salt accounted for more than eighty percent of the total income, and once something went wrong here, it would deal a huge blow to the Yun clan.

In the barren land of Yunhua County, it is difficult for the Yun family to find other ways to make money, but now it is different, Yun Yi has the knowledge of another world in his mind, and finding a new way of wealth for the Yun family is a very simple thing for Yun Yi, and there are countless riches buried under the land of Yunhua County, waiting for Yun Yi to discover.

However, there is still a problem that Yun Yi needs to solve, although Yun Yi is the patriarch of the Yun Hua Yun clan, but Yun Yi does not have any patriarchal power in his hands, and now the Yun family's big and small affairs are mainly in charge of Yun Yi's third uncle Yun Yuankai.

The Yun Yi who lived in his own world before has completely disappeared, and if he wants to guide the Yun clan forward, Yun Yi must gain the power of the patriarch.

Note 1: There are three tiers of knighthoods, the fifth rank is the prince and the son, and the third rank is the first class hereditary replacement, the second class hereditary demotion, and the third class life.

Note 2: Yunhua County covers an area of 35,000 square kilometers, which is the same as Hailan Province.

Note 3: The background of this book is similar to that of ancient China, the population density is similar to that of the peak of the Han Dynasty, the total population of the Dali Empire is only 47 million, the population of a county is about 300,000, the population of a county is about 30,000, and the population of Yunhua County is not too small.
