Chapter 3: The Spirit Emperor's Yang Scheme, the Dark Truth, and the Family's Choice
Wenxiang Pavilion, just like the name, as soon as you enter, there is a gust of incense wind, coming to you. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Ruyan pointed out that all kinds of strange flowers and plants can be said to be everywhere. Even though it's autumn, it's still open.
Moreover, inside the attic, it is obvious that there is a magic circle. For example, the four seasons are like spring, in fact, it is also the temperature setting. In addition, there is the setting of the air flow rate, which is the speed of the wind. Sitting in the attic doesn't feel any different than going outside.
It can only be said that it is generous. The daily consumption of these formations alone would cost tens or hundreds of taels of silver. Not to mention, the amount of money spent when setting up these formations in the first place. It can only be said that the people in the city are really good at playing.
Soon, under the leadership of Cai Yan, Lin Yang came to a small room in the attic. Here, it can be described as a pavilion within a pavilion. It can only be said that the sky is clever. At this time, even Su Qing'er stayed outside with a very good look.
Seeing this, Cai Yan directly took out a book of Analects. Then, a light blue tone came directly to the Analects. Then, with a buzzing sound, the Analects inspired a light white light curtain, directly enveloping the three of them.
"Well, it's clean this time. With its protection, the spies will never be able to overhear our conversations again. Cai Yan gasped relaxedly.
"yes, those spies can drive people crazy. There are spies everywhere, and no matter what you do, there will be spies who will record your words and deeds. Shi Ah shook his head.
Since the birth of the Chosen One, the number of spies has directly multiplied. It's almost the same every day, and there are always a lot more spies every day than the day before. And the corpses of the spies who die every day add up to a circle around the earth.
In the beginning, Shi Ah always found out these spies who were staring at him one by one. After all, no one wants to live under the watchful eye of others all the time.
However, in the end, no matter how many were found, the number of spies on the second day increased instead of decreasing. By now, Shi Adu has gotten used to it.
"Yes, just now at the portal, there were more than a hundred spies on the bright side. There are at least twenty spies who are secretly cultivating to a high level. There were nine spies who followed us upstairs. At this time, there were also three spies hiding in the Wenxiang Pavilion. Lin Yang snapped his fingers and said one by one.
"By the way, is there any inside information about the division this time? For example, the truth of this matter, and the situation of the Chosen One? Lin Yang asked. Although the memory of the original body is there, but for the sake of insurance, Lin Yang thinks it is better to ask.
"So far, there are a total of one hundred and thirty-five Chosen ones who have come to the capital. It is estimated that after three days, there should be several Chosen ones. Shi Ah said.
After all, as Wang Yue's disciple, the last thing he lacks is this information. Even Dongchang and Jinyiwei, who have great powers, often cooperate with Wang Yue in terms of intelligence. To be exact, to work with those rangers.
"This separation, it's true. Moreover, three days later, the Son of Heaven will lead the cabinet scholars to summon all the Chosen ones in the palace. When the time comes, according to the contributions of the Chosen One, they will be sealed one by one. Cai Yan said with a little excitement.
Although in this high-martial world of the Three Kingdoms, due to Cai Yong's strong strength, Cai Yan has been a real top second generation since he was born. But despite this, there is still a bit of a gap compared to those nobles who have fiefs.
Even the Xun family, which claims to have obtained the true inheritance of Xunzi, the long-standing Yang family, and the powerful Yuan family, etc., these top families of the Han Dynasty, in fact, if they are really compared with the 28 generals of Yuntai and such powerful princes, they are still inferior.
After all, compared to the princes on the ground who have iron rice bowls, these families, even if they are powerful and dazzling at this time, have the day of destruction. Maybe one of the political struggles or sides will fail, and then the entire family will perish directly. This kind of thing doesn't happen once or twice.
Therefore, in addition to the royal family, the most powerful and noble in the Han Dynasty were actually those powerful princes with fiefdoms. How can the momentary glory of the family be compared with the long-term inheritance of the princes?
Therefore, in the face of the possibility of becoming a prince, even if it is just a lowest-ranking hereditary baron, it is enough to make the hearts of the major families excited.
"So, is there anything special about fiefdoms?" Lin Yang continued.
"The imperial court gave two choices, one was to directly choose a relatively small piece of land within the Han Dynasty that had been governed as a fief. This kind of life, born in safety, after all, is already governed, you just need to go and sit and collect money. Cai Yan said with a smile.
Hearing this, Lin Yang couldn't help but nodded. Indeed, not all of the Chosen are ambitious and bent on going to the frontier and expanding their territory.
If in the hinterland, choose a place that has been developed, governed, and regarded as a fiefdom. You don't need to worry about the attack of foreign barbarians all day long, you don't need to worry about all kinds of things in the territory all day long, you just need to enjoy the happiness comfortably, which is actually quite good.
If it weren't for the threat of the Black Lotus Prince, if it weren't for the troubled times in the future, Lin Yang might have chosen this way.
"Since there are two options, what is the second?" Lin Yang asked.
Hearing this, Cai Yan and Shi A glanced at each other, and then nodded. Sure enough, as expected, Lin Yang was ambitious, or very self-motivated and hardworking.
"The so-called second option is to go to the frontier and expand the territory. After that, the Imperial Court will provide different types of support according to the size of the individual's contribution. This support includes the army, including all kinds of materials, including money, etc., which can be described as all-round. ”
"Moreover, the same title, in the frontier, the area of the territory will be much larger. But in the same way, there are many desolations and dangers. Moreover, the support provided by the imperial court was limited, at most it was just a beginning. Later, you still need to invest in it. Shi Ah said.
Hearing this, Lin Yang couldn't help but nodded. Actually, both of these options are very ingenious.
If you are from a poor family, or even a pure poor person, eighty percent will choose the first path. Most of these people are not very ambitious, and the court is not worried about them.
And if you are ambitious, or your ability is really outstanding, or if your family is huge and you are a son of a family, you will naturally choose the second path. In this way, the resources of the entire family will be invested in the bottomless pit of operating the fiefdom.
Lin Yang, who has the memory of his original body, of course knows what a big pit it is to run a fiefdom. It's a huge pit that can be called a bottomless pit.
"Hehe, managing the territory, Your Majesty's trick is really too powerful, it can be described as a dignified and righteous way. Even if they knew the trap inside, how many people could overcome such a huge temptation? Lin Yang sneered.
Take out a map and draw a circle directly for you, and the land within the circle is your home, what a temptation is this? If the real estate company of the future generations, there is such an opportunity, it will definitely jump with joy.
Moreover, with the example of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai, it seems that running a territory is a very promising thing. So, the question is, is it really that simple?
In this regard, Lin Yang can only say two words - hehe!
In the memory of the original god, there are many small families that have just been formed for more than a hundred years, and they died directly on the road to success. For example, when the barbarians attacked, the territory went bankrupt directly, causing the family to go to hell with them.
The vast majority of medium-sized families have also lost a lot of money at this point, and they have just built their fiefdoms, and the heritage of the entire family has almost been exhausted.
It can be said that Emperor Ling's method is absolutely exquisite. All of a sudden, the threat of the incomparably inflated family was solved. If you lose money by operating your own territory, you can't blame the head of the court, right?
"Yes, this is a conspiracy, I didn't expect Fei Peng's vision to be so thorough. I don't think I would have thought of this if my father hadn't told me. Cai Yan said with palpitations.
She was originally very happy, but after being told everything by her father Cai Yong, she suddenly discovered that the truth of the matter was so dark. The so-called Chosen One, the so-called fiefdom, is just a conspiracy used by the Spirit Emperor to deal with the families.
But even if you see through it, what can you do? Could it be that after seeing through it, those families can resist the temptation of becoming princes on the ground?
You must know that in the memory of the original body, after that, hundreds of Chosen ones will appear almost every year, and then each Chosen One will hook up with at least one family, pull these families, and rush to the bottomless pit of the famous fiefdom.
There are very few who can really benefit from the fiefdom. Only those first-class families at the state level can have a glimmer of life, carry the investment in the early stage, and support the output in the later stage.
Only top families such as the Xun family and the Yuan family can really gain benefits in this wave of business territory. Then, he succeeded in transforming the family into a field prince.
However, the question is, how many families of this level are there? In this regard, Lin Yang could only say that Emperor Ling's scheming was too powerful.
"Hey, Feipeng, you are really amazing, you just learned the news, and you have seen it so thoroughly, you are really a genius." Shi Ah sighed to himself.
"By the way, if Feipeng plans to run the territory, Wen Ji and I can still help a little." Shi Ah continued.
