"Do you know Tu Yuanguo?"

Xin Lin asked rhetorically.

"I know, my third brother has been to Tuyuan Country, which is a frontier country, although the population is not large, but the strength is very strong, the strength is strong, the strength is equivalent to ten Dragon Teng countries, so I wonder, how can you provoke them."

Murong Ziyue was half puzzled, half worried.

"Speaking of which, I was about to ask you, what is the lord and what is the subject country, I have been hearing you mention it, but I don't know what it means."

Xin Lin has heard the word "host country" mentioned several times.

However, after searching through various books, as well as the books taught by the Academy, there was no relevant information.

"As for the lord and the vassal state, in fact, it has not existed since ancient times, but has gradually formed on the mainland in the past three hundred years. There is no record in some official history books, and they are all conventions between countries. ”

Murong Ziyue didn't mention this matter earlier, because she didn't want Xiao Xin Zhuo and Xin Lin to have too much psychological burden.

can think about it, Xiao Xin Zhuo is the seventh prince of Longteng.

Earlier, it was nothing when he was not taken seriously.

But Xiao Xin Zhuo's talent is good, and his mother and concubine are gradually favored by Emperor Longteng, and soon after, he is bound to be involved in the core battle of the royal family, and it is a good thing to tell her about the dispute between the lord and the subject country as soon as possible.

Murong Ziyue said that she asked Xin Lin to help find a pair of pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

She held a pen in her hand and drew on a blank piece of paper.

"On the mainland, there is not only one country in Longteng, but there are no less than a hundred large and small countries. The entire continent is divided into five regions: east, west, south, north, and middle. Different continents are interconnected and isolated from each other. Longteng is located in the East Continent, on the northwest side of the East Continent, in the entire East Continent, there are a total of thirty-four countries, among which the three largest countries are also the three strongest countries, which are respected as the main country, that is, the monarchy. The remaining thirty-one countries or regions are called vassals. ”

Murong Ziyue's pen and ink sketched and soon depicted the general appearance of the Eastern Continent in front of Xin Lin and Xiao Xin Zhuo's eyes.

Xin Lin sighed secretly, worthy of being a scholar Ziyue, concise and to the point, she looked at the map of the Eastern Continent, and noticed that Tuyuan Country was also located on the Eastern Continent, and the tower probably occupied about 20% of the territory of the entire Eastern Continent.

The other two main countries are the Shengri Kingdom and Fuzhou Kingdom, as for the territory of Longteng, it looks very small on the Eastern Continent, less than one-tenth of the Tuyuan Kingdom, similar to a small country like Longteng, there are dozens of them on the Eastern Continent.

Murong Ziyue hadn't explained yet, Xin Lin had probably understood the status gap between Long Teng and Tu Yuanguo.

No wonder, the death of Chu Tianyi's father and daughter spread widely in Zixiao City, and she also specially reminded Captain Yang.

But a morning passed, and there was still no response from the palace.

Chu Tianyi's father and daughter were also unlucky, and they died in vain, but this can be regarded as evil and evil retribution.

"There is a difference between monarchs and ministers, the status of the lord of the Eastern Continent is very high, and the status of the vassal state is low, and every year, the vassal state has to pay half of the tax to the lord country. If they do not, the subject will be annexed by the lord. The kings of the vassal country, although they are also kings, but when they see the kings of the lord country, they are a lot shorter. Not only that, but the status of the subjects of the lord country is also slightly higher than that of the subject state, and this situation has lasted for nearly three hundred years in the Eastern Continent. ”

Murong Ziyue said eloquently.
