Looking at the young general who had left before and now came back, Izanaga's face was a little pale, although after knowing the identity of the other party's Sui people, his psychological side had an extra layer of luck, a big country that can be called a country of etiquette, their army should not kill innocents at will! However, when he saw the other party stretching out his hand to point at him, his heart still beat a few times suddenly, and a kind of fear arose in his heart, an instinctive fear. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hey, don't point it, don't you see it, it's all scared of others, and then you will be scared to death if you point out people, and then you will pay my army for food and grass and oil money, ah no, it's the cost of travel and labor!"

Qin Qiong also laughed after speaking, while Luo Cheng showed a disdainful expression and muttered in a low voice: "Being scared to death so easily, what kind of king should you be, which of our Great Sui kings didn't fight the world from horseback!" ”

Qin Qiong ignored him, pointed at Izanaga, and motioned for him to come over.

He understood this gesture Izanagar understood, but his heart was even more scared, although the expression on Qin Qiong's face looked kind and harmless, but he always felt that there was a secret under the gentle face of the other party, this was an intuition, he was very sure!

Qin Qiong saw him stand up, but he didn't dare to come over hesitantly, so he beckoned to him again, when he was encouraging him, Luo Cheng on the side was angry, and rushed over directly, stretched out his hand to pinch Izanaga's neck, and carried him over with one hand like carrying a chicken, Qin Qiong looked angry and funny, and shook his head.

"You're the king here?"

Just as Iza's face was as dead as ashes, and he was thinking about how he would be killed next, he suddenly heard a voice that was not very skillful, but barely understood.

"Yes, yes, I am, I am the king here, general, don't kill me, I have a lot of financial reports, I will give them to you, give them all, just ask you not to kill me!"

Izanagar felt as if he had been on a trip to the Onimon Gate, and the other party only asked about his identity, and he poured beans into a bamboo tube and gave them all the answers.

Qin Qiong felt bored, he originally met a captive with an advantageous identity, and he was ready for interrogation, but he met a soft bone, and the things he prepared were useless, this is good, it is already over, the words he prepared, both soft and hard, and even learned what Liu Zhi said, made a sword and gun sword formation to prepare the other party to taste a little powerful, but the result was not used, it was really disappointing.

called a document and asked him to prepare to record the news that he would ask about later, and then Qin Qiong continued to speak: "Okay, you say, where are your treasures hidden, how many of them are, what kind of financial reports are they, gold and silver jewelry or silk silk or what kind of curios?" ”

His speech speed is not fast, in fact, he can't speak very quickly, his Japanese language is not very fluent, in fact, for a beginner, it is actually very good to be able to speak to this level, and he himself is very satisfied.

"I said I said, I said all, my treasures are hidden in five places, and they are in ......"

After Qin Qiong asked about his treasure, he asked how much money was still in their country's treasury, how much grain was still in the granary, and how many registered people were in the household, but what surprised him was that although the other party was the king of a country, he actually reacted to these things without knowing anything, Qin Qiong thought at first that his question was not standard enough, and he couldn't understand what he said, so after confirming it again and again, The other party still had a stupid expression, even saying that he didn't know, and it didn't look like he was lying, Qin Qiong even lit up his sword, suggesting that the other party should not be clever, otherwise be careful with his head.

As a result, Izanagar was so useless that he fainted in fright, uh, now it's okay, the most critical person fainted, who should he talk to if he wants to ask about things next?

And just when he felt that things were a little tricky, a person in the crowd suddenly said: "General, I am the prime minister of Zhusi Kingdom, and I know what you want to ask!" ”

Qin Qiong looked up and saw a short stature, with thief eyebrows and rat eyes, in short, a very obscene guy, his first impression of this person was not very good, and he really didn't like it in his heart.

The Sui and Tang dynasties can even be said to be since the Qin and Han dynasties, before the imperial examination system was thoroughly popularized, the officials and people everywhere were recommended, called filial piety, and then they had to get the recommendation of high-ranking officials and nobles, and push up layer by layer, so the officials at this time basically had to have three elements: first, the first and most important point is to look good-looking, to look like Zhou Yu and Zhou Lang to be a talented and suave person, if it is like Pang Tong, then I'm sorry, Pang Tong's ending has said everything, People are visual animals, first of all, you can see the height of a person from the appearance, good-looking, others like it at a glance, and if you don't look good, even if you have talent, you will be expelled if you don't have the opportunity to show it.

And the second element is that you have to be able to speak, eloquence must be good, and be able to speak well in order to gain the appreciation of others, at this time, as an official, they are all self-promotion, people who can speak well, often others will have a better impression of you, eloquence is also a kind of ability, Zhuge Liang's tongue is regarded as a classic, in fact, because of his outstanding eloquence, it is very remarkable to learn people, but if you can't show your ability yourself, it's useless.

And the third element is your talent, good looks, good-looking, which will make others have a good impression of you, will be close to you, and eloquence, good speech, this will be after the other party approaches you, understand your ability, and wait until others discuss with you a little deeper, this time is the time to test your talent, if you don't have real materials, then even if you have the two things before, at most you can only be a small official, want to take on important responsibilities, it is estimated that it is difficult, unless it is a back road.

The Sui Dynasty did not have the imperial examination system, although it was not entirely filial piety, but it was similar, and young and capable talents were selected from the family to be used, so the family chaebol strength in the Sui and Tang dynasties would be so great, like the Guanlong Group and the Hedong clan, these things were simply a force that could shake the country in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and in the Song Dynasty, there were very few big families, and the big families that could affect the foundation of the country were basically gone.

Why? The reason is that the cold family began to take scholars, that is, the imperial examination system, starting from the imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty, but anyone who has the talent to read can enter the officialdom through the imperial examination system, the imperial examination system in the Tang Dynasty is not vague, so sometimes it is possible to cheat, the big family has strong financial resources, and the starting point of education is higher than others, so even if the imperial examination is opened, they also have a great advantage, and the children of these wealthy families are basically in high school every year.

However, with the formation of the Anshi Rebellion and the division of feudal towns in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the power of the major families was greatly impacted, and after the Song Dynasty, papermaking and printing technology were further improved, making books and knowledge more acceptable to everyone, and the Song Dynasty was a development system that emphasized literature and light martial arts, which made the literary style of the Song Dynasty prosperous, and the rules that were conducive to the openness of speech, such as not being convicted of speech, not punishing doctors, etc., made the status of the literati in the Song Dynasty greatly improved, and the bloody nature of martial arts was gradually weakened. Therefore, the foreign wars of the Song Dynasty were basically less victories and more defeats, and those twists and turns of the literati made the Chinese officers of the army control the generals, and the phenomenon of lies, misreports, concealments, and omissions in the military reports began to appear, and the victory rate of the Song army in the military reports of the Song Dynasty was quite high, but once it was time to fight, the Song army could not defeat anyone, and it took only one year for Jin to destroy the Northern Song Dynasty, and Zongwang's East Route Army was only 670,000 people, but it defeated nearly a million troops of the Song Dynasty before and after, and drove straight into the realm of no one, It simply created a miracle in the history of warfare, if it weren't for the Jurchens who were not good at attacking cities, Bianliang City would have been taken in 1126.

However, one of the advantages of emphasizing literature over military force is that the strength of the scholar clan has risen, and the big families like the Sui and Tang dynasties that can shake the country's foundation have become almost non-existent.

Far away......

After Qin Qiong saw Noda Ogasa, she was quite disliked by his appearance, most people who look obscene are also obscene in their hearts, but since the other party knows some information, it is useful for the time being, and he is not good to cut people directly because others are obscene!

Waved to Noda Ogasa and motioned for him to come over, Noda Ogasa had seen this action twice before, and he knew very well that the other party was calling him over, so he hurriedly lowered his head and trotted all the way over, smiling at his face, looking like he was waiting to be sent, and he was very deferential.

Qin Qiong is a martial artist, seeing that the other party is a literati and looks obscene, at this time he still looks like a traitor, he is really disgusted in his heart, almost pinching his nose and saying, "What's your name?" What position do you hold in Zhusi Country, tell me all the useful information you know, General Ben is useful! ”

Noda Ogasa hurriedly nodded and said: "What the general said is that the small one is called, the small one is called Noda Ogasa, and he is the prime minister of the Bamboo Country, which is equivalent to the Shangshu left servant of the Celestial Empire!" ”

Qin Qiong raised his eyebrows, this guy still has an understanding of my Great Sui system, and does he still know that Shangshu Zuo Servant shot? You must know that the author who wrote this book can't figure out what Shangshu Zuo Servant is doing, but he knows, it's amazing!

In the Sui and Tang dynasties, the post of Shangshu Province has always been vacant, but in fact, the matter of Shangshu Province, the general commander of Shangshu Province, is in charge of the same power as Zhongshu Ling and Shizhong, and the left servant is the prime minister.

In ancient times, the left was honored, and the reason was that there were two explanations, and it was not known which one was right.

The first explanation is that because the human heart is on the left, and the ancient people believed that the wisdom of the human mind must be completed by the heart to think, so there is a saying that the heart is more than the stem, and the more the heart knows, the smarter the person, so the ancient respect for the left.

Another theory is that because the emperor and the ministers sit opposite each other, as long as the emperor is not left-handed, when he raises his hand, he must raise his right hand, so the person he points to is probably the person on his right, and on the minister's side, it is on the left, so the person on the left is more likely to be pointed, and over time it has formed the habit of respecting the left.

looked this obscene guy up and down again, and I didn't expect him to be a prime minister, but even if he was a prime minister, he was just the prime minister of a small country, and there was nothing unusual about it, he was just a prisoner on the street.

"Prime Minister Noda, tell the general, how much grain and grass you have in Zhusi Country, how many people there are, and how much money you have in the treasury!"

Qin Qiong leaned back on a rockery and looked at Noda Ogasa lightly, making the latter feel like a man on his back, in short, a feeling of discomfort.

"Oh, okay, okay!"

Noda Ogasa took out a scroll from his sleeve and opened it carefully, this is a scroll carved with fine cloth, I don't know what words are written on it, Qin Qiong glanced at it and found that he didn't know it, so he didn't continue to look at it, waiting for Noda Ogasa to read it out, he was not afraid that the other party would tell a lie, anyway, he actually had a special translator here, although his Japanese language was not good, but after all, there were more reliable people around, so he was not worried.

"At present, there are a total of 89,676 stone of grain in the treasury of Zhusi State, and there are 2.45 million mu of cultivated land in the country, including 1.63 million mu of paddy fields and 820,000 mu of dry land, and there are a total of 42,300 households in the country, and the state treasury currently has more than 265,780 yuan of money......

Listening to these numbers read out by Noda Ogasa, Qin Qiong frowned slightly, this country should look not small, why is the population so small, and the grain is so small, and the area of cultivated land is a lot, more than two million mu, but how can the treasury only have less than 90,000 stone of grain and grass, 90,000 stone of grain, which is only enough for 20,000 people to eat for a year, that is to say, if you bring 40,000 or 50,000 people back from here, then Jeju Island should pay for it to sell grain to these people to eat, even if it is to settle them down quickly, It will take at least half a year for the newly reclaimed land to be harvested, which is completely too late.

"Why is there so little food? Ben will see that the number of troops in your city will not be less than 20,000, so many sergeants, so little food, how do you maintain it, say quickly, don't lie to Ben general, Ben General's patience is not very good! If you provoke me, I will kill all of you princes and ministers, and raid your homes, and see if you dare to hide them! (To be continued.) )
