Chapter Ninety-Three: The Middle Tang Dynasty
"Zhongtang is finally here."
In the Southern Chu National Teacher's Mansion, Ji Jiashu was sitting in his study, the morning light shining in from the window hit the secret report in front of the table, and the young man said lightly while looking at the secret report on the table.
"Tomorrow is the banquet of Jixia and the engagement banquet of the son, and it will only arrive today," there was a crisp sound of porcelain colliding on the table, and Ji Si complained while bringing the brewed tea to the table, "The Tang people are too unanxious." ”
On the other side, Wang Zhong, who was sorting out the books for Ji Jiashu, also pouted when he heard this, "That's it, our subordinates are still talking about whether the Tang people are not coming!" ”
The Beginner Ceremony is such a grand event, which is related to the development of the cultivation power of the entire country in the future, and a strong country like Southern Chu and Eastern Wu is still preparing early, and the cultivators of other small countries have even entered the city in advance to travel around, not to mention the cultivators who have to participate in the screening of the upper four palaces, they came even earlier.
Danyang City started to be overcrowded a month ago.
However, among the cultivators from all over the world who were busy early, there was one exception for people from one country.
That's the Zhongtang people.
Ji Jiashu could only shake his head when he looked at the secret report on the table.
The importance of the Chinese and Tang Dynasty people to the primary canon...... It can probably be said to be the lowest in the whole continent.
And this year, not only did they not enter the city in advance, but even the main team led by his stepson arrived at the card point. Even Nan Chu, who had held several elementary ceremonies, didn't expect it. Seeing that the primary ceremony was coming, but he didn't even see the shadow of a Zhongtang person, Nanchu had no way to ask where the Zhongtang convoy was going.
It is customary for the six countries to participate, in case there are fewer countries at the opening ceremony, it is still a little unlucky, if it is not for the fact that the Zhongtang convoy can arrive before the last day, Ji Jiashu estimates that Nanchu will have to send someone to find it quickly.
Zhongtang is a neighbor of Southern Chu, it stands to reason that it is not far away, and the line newspaper received by Ji Jiashu wrote that it was not too late for the Zhongtang convoy to set off, but it was a stagnant move when it was windy and rainy, and it was the slowest of all the convoys.
It can be said that it is very in the style of the Tang Dynasty.
Looking at the indignant Wang Zhongji Si, Ji Jiashu smiled and said, "The people of the Tang Dynasty have always been like this, and they are not much worse in previous years. ”
He still remembered that when he participated in the Beginner Ceremony, Zhongtang almost didn't catch up with the Beginner Ceremony.
Other countries participating in the Beginner Ceremony have to prevent them from grabbing cultivation resources, but Zhongtang doesn't have to worry about it grabbing, what he is worried about is that it won't come.
Zhongtang, a country that is committed to making everyone worry about whether they will see it in the next session.
"But this Zhongtang doesn't pay so much attention to the Beginner Classics, isn't he worried that his country won't be able to produce powerful cultivators?" Ji Si asked suspiciously.
"Worried?" Ji Jiashu smiled, "Zhongtang doesn't rely on these. ”
The reason why this style of casual practice can be formed is naturally related to the national conditions of the Tang Dynasty itself.
Wang Zhong and Ji Si's eyes widened when they heard this.
Ji Jiashu could fully understand the reaction of the two little boys.
Because the national conditions of China and Tang are indeed very special on the whole continent.
On the Shanhai Continent, the strength of a cultivator is an extremely important part of a country's strength. Without a strong practitioner, it is almost impossible to achieve victory in a foreign war, and it may even lead directly to the destruction of the country.
At that time, Qin was able to unify the whole land and overthrow the royal families of all countries and replace them with obedient princes, and the powerful cultivation and military force led by the great priest Lin Shubai behind him almost played a decisive factor.
Because of this, now that the empire is shattered and the princes have proclaimed themselves kings, all countries are desperately trying to improve the strength of their cultivators so as not to be annexed by other powers.
But the path taken by Zhongtang is completely different.
Ji Jiashu looked at Ji Si and Wang Zhong and smiled, "There was no army in the Middle Tang Dynasty, and the cultivators basically entered the dart game in the Middle Tang Dynasty. ”
China and Tang are a country with little military strength.
But on the other hand, Zhongtang is the richest country on the Shanhai Road.
As a central country sandwiched between the former Qin, Southern Chu, and Eastern Wu, the Sino-Tang Dynasty is rich in minerals, extremely prosperous trade, and academically developed, and is the academic and trade capital of the entire Shanhai Continent.
In one sentence, the national conditions of China and Tang can be summed up, that is, the soldiers are weak and there is a lot of money.
Such a country is generally a big fat in the eyes of a powerful country, and no matter how you look at it, it should be annexed first, but Zhongtang has been able to maintain its style to this day.
The main reason is that the country of China and Tang has always been a vassal of a powerful country.
The people of the Tang Dynasty are not good at war, but they are good at business, and they tend to use money to solve wars.
In other words, it is to be very knowledgeable. It is a plant that sends money to whichever country is strong, and it is the fattest wall grass on the Shanhai Continent.
Twenty years ago, the royal family of the Tang Dynasty was the first country to submit to Emperor Taizu of Qin, and in the unification war of the Qin Empire, the Tang Dynasty provided a large amount of military expenditure to the Qin State.
And just after Emperor Ying died, and the young and great commanders died one after another, Zhongtang immediately sent a large amount of money to Nanchu.
Ji Jiashu narrowed his eyes.
It can be said that the style of wall grass is brought into full play.
The Middle Tang Dynasty can't raise the strongest cultivators, but it will always follow behind the strongest cultivators.
The reason why other countries do not annex it is actually that the Chinese and Tang people are too good at making money, and after annexation, they may not be able to make as much money as they do now.
The Chinese and Tang people are also aware of their own advantages, never expand their military strength, but only devote themselves to business and learning, their own culture is rich, there are many classical books, and the classics about the secrets of cultivation are also hidden in it, if it is destroyed in the war, it is really a big loss for the cultivation world.
What's more, China and Tang have always been demanding from powerful countries, and keeping such a country is actually keeping a pocket that can make money.
Zhongtang sent money to Nanchu, and Nanchu would also shelter one or two.
"Anyway, it's enough to come," Ji Jiashu said lightly. Originally, Zhongtang came to participate in the primary ceremony, which was to fill the scene.
I have to say that Zhongtang did a good job in the scene.
"Zhongtang's stepson this year is Song Qian," Ji Jiashu looked at the information in his hand.
Song Qian.
This name always makes Ji Jiashu think of sending money.
Of course, in order to maintain Chunhuajun's image, he just thought about it in his heart.
"Qionghua sent all her nephews, this sincerity is very good," Ji Jiashu said.
The current monarch of the Middle Tang Dynasty is Song Deming, and his younger brother Song Zhai, the king of Yuyang, is very knowledgeable and is one of the six princes of the Warring States period, Qiong Huajun.
Song Qian, the stepson of the Middle Tang Dynasty, is the nephew of Song Zhai, Qionghuajun, Ji Jiashu once had a relationship with him, although he is not as good as his uncle, Song Qian is also a real royal family. If it weren't for the fact that Qin Stepson was Yingxun before this year, Song Qian's identity would be the highest.
"The main reason is to attend your engagement banquet," Ji Si said proudly, "The concierge has received a lot of congratulatory gifts from the Tang Dynasty. ”
Speaking of engagement......
Ji Jiashu clenched the information in his hand slightly, looked up at Ji Si and asked, "She...... What are you doing today? ”
