Biao Wanzi retreated in despair.

She didn't understand that for a woman, isn't gentleness, virtuousness, and deference virtues? Yang Xiu didn't touch anything, why did the princess praise Yang Xiu?

Biao Wanzi doesn't understand, and it is not a patent for women to demand a person with virtue; In the same way, judging a person by his ability does not belong to men alone.

Not only her, but the vast majority of people in this era do not understand this.

Fortunately, the atmosphere of Zhaoguo is quite open, and Yang Xiu's actions are not strictly speaking.

There's a reason for that, too.

Zhaoguo has been fighting wars for many years, and needs a population, and the mainstream doctrine is Legalism, and practicality is the first. Therefore, a woman's second marriage and third marriage are all good things and virtues, and widowhood is a big mistake; The second is that men go to war, and it is not uncommon for women to support a family.

If you say to the women of Zhaoguo, women should be chaste, from the beginning to the end, and they should be gentle and obedient, the other party can smack your face, a woman is not at home, the whole family must drink the northwest wind, and the rotten Confucians can only hug their heads and run away, feeling that only women and villains are difficult to raise.

The Confucian state of Chen is different, relying on the sea, fighting few wars, and the country is rich, so Confucian scholars can naturally talk nonsense and point fingers. It's not enough to restrain the women of the country, and it is not the first time that the two border powers, Zhaoguo and Zhuguo, have no etiquette and no rules, and the people are rude.

But they can say so with their mouths, but they have never won a war, and the six eastern countries often unite against Zhao, and the first rout is often Chen's army.

Of course, even in Zhaoguo, the upper class society has the most restraints on women, but it is also the least, depending on whether you have the ability or not.

If you have the ability and status, you will naturally do what you want, and if you don't have the ability and status, you can only be controlled by others.

But Yang Xiu ......

Thinking of this, Yin Ji sighed silently again.

She has the heart to help Yang Xiu, but she doesn't know how Yang Xiu will choose.

For Yang Xiu, taking charge of the Lei family is the biggest victory she can get in the first half of her life. And all this is by virtue of her step-by-step scrambling from a very young age, little by little, which is where her heart and soul lie.

Not only that, Yang Xiu's only son is the future head of the Lei family.

Yin Ji wasn't sure if Yang Xiu would be willing to let go.

But if Yang Xiu can't let it go......

No matter how optimistic Yin Ji is about Yang Xiu, she will not say a word more.

After all, on the issue of Haoqiang, she and Yin Changying's positions are completely identical.

Haoqiang, it shouldn't exist.

For Zhaoguo, of course, the common people should be self-cultivated farmers, and the cultivators have their own land, and it is best to pay taxes and serve the country. The system of farming and warfare is the national policy of Zhaoguo. But what the families and the powerful like to do most is to constantly annex the land and turn the people into their own slaves.

Yin Ji can tolerate criminals being assigned to work as coolies, but she can't tolerate the powerful family changing tricks, letting the people sell their sons and daughters and become slaves.

She knew that the family would definitely not relent, so let these people all eat the consequences and taste what it was like to be a slave.

Thinking of this, Yin Ji subconsciously raised her head and looked in the direction of the imperial capital.

It's been seven days, and Yin Changying hasn't replied yet.

If it was usual, at most three days, the reply should have arrived, why was it delayed for so long this time?

Could it be that something went wrong with Yin Changying's side?

Yin Ji was a little worried when she thought of Yin Changying's terrifying power attributes, she was afraid that Yin Changying's strength would get out of control. Once something happens to him, it will be equivalent to a nuclear bomb explosion, and the entire Lulong City will be wiped out.

She wanted to write a letter back and ask, but after thinking about it, does this look like she is inquiring about Yin Changying's situation? Spying on the king, it seems to be taboo?

But if you don't ignore it, there is always something hanging in your heart.

Yin Ji hesitated for a while, but still wrote a short letter to his family, greeting Yin Changying's situation throughout, and then took out the spare trap bird, injected the compound power of "wind" and "water", and released it.

After doing this, Yin Ji's heart was completely settled, let go of her spiritual power, and used the power of the "wind" to sweep all the miles within a radius of fifty miles.

Then, she found that instead of being called Chen County, this place should be renamed "Leijiawu".

Chen County is located in the south of the mountains, from the foot of the mountain to the halfway up the mountain, the buildings at the foot of the mountain are extremely shabby, that is, rows of bamboo houses or grass houses, less than half a person high. The hole in the door of the house was accessible only to a three-year-old standing child. Adults can only climb in like dogs if they want to enter.

Yin Ji thought that this was for slaves to sleep on, but she was furious in her heart, and secretly said that the criminals in Annan County who were responsible for repairing the river still had a bamboo house and a big shop to sleep in, and you actually slept in a dog house for slaves here?

As a result, she soon discovers that the truth is worse than she thinks!

These fragile houses, which fall down when the wind blows, have little shelter from the wind and rain, and are extremely humiliating, are actually for those who are responsible for repairing houses, weaving, making clothes, growing vegetables, raising chickens and ducks, and cooking...... In short, it is specially used for rough labor in the service of the Lei family!

As for where the slaves sleep...... If you sleep casually in a mine, can you still expect to have a house?

In stark contrast to the houses at the foot of the mountain, the mountainside is lined with rows of stone houses covered with thick animal skins and high courtyard walls, which are built like military fortresses, which can be called easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Yin Ji glanced at it, and didn't want to look at it again.

Looking at it again, she is afraid that she will not be able to help but wipe out all the heroes now.

Although she has the ability to arrest them all, she doesn't have enough people to clean up the mess.

The problem of Fan County is not the twelve surnames, even if there are no twelve families, there will be new heroes, because the environment of Fan County is too bad, the land is barren, and it does not produce much food, and people cannot survive without holding together. And once the group is held, the existence of Haoqiang is inevitable.

If you want to completely cure this problem, you must rely on the imperial court to contribute money and efforts.

If nothing else, at least the road has been built first.

When the road is open, other things are convenient, but the road is different, and everything has to be talked about.

Yin Changying is not yet in power, although he has a strong control over the court, and he also knows the affairs of the court, but he is not justified enough.

Such a major matter as building a road, he can't decide it alone now. It is necessary to put it in the court to talk. And the princes of the imperial court will definitely not agree to build a road in Fanjun.

Building roads, especially mountain roads, is undoubtedly an extremely labor-intensive thing in this era.

In fact, Yin Ji didn't quite agree.

She herself wanted to use the power of witchcraft to cultivate, but she knew very well that once Yin Changying knew that she was wasting time and energy on this kind of thing, she would definitely recall her immediately.

This is also the reason why Yin Cheng used Sun Qing to test.

If she can find a set of effective ways to stimulate the awakening of witches, make witches in batches, and use witches as special jobs, it will be much easier to build roads, and there will be no need to kill so many people.

It is precisely because there is no particularly good solution at present, so Yin Ji endured her anger and no longer looked at the situation in Chen County, but instead went to "see" the cinnabar mine separated by a few mountains.

As soon as the power of the "soil" penetrated deep into the ore vein, Yin Xi's expression immediately became solemn.

The mine is about to collapse again!
