Chapter 27: Straw Bale General, Monarch of Cangguo

In front of a wasteland, there is this level.

The prince of Nacang was riding his horse in embarrassment, rushing towards the border city of Yan Kingdom.

The guards of the Yan Kingdom looked at the figure of Nadao and were about to shoot an arrow to intercept it, but they heard him say:

"Don't shoot arrows, I'm the prince of Cang, I have something important to enlighten the monarch of Yan Kingdom!"

The prince of Cang entered the city of Yan and handed over the jade pendant symbolizing the Cangguo Dynasty to the general who guarded the city.

The general was sure that it was correct, so he returned it to the prince of Cang, but he remembered that it was a group of envoys who went out of the customs before, why did he come back alone, and he was still so embarrassed.

The prince of Cang told the general of the city about the matter, and the general's face was shocked, he couldn't imagine that Xuan Li dared to turn his face against Cangguo, and dared to start a war with Cangguo!

After the prince of Cang finished speaking, he changed to a fast horse and planned to go to Cangguo quickly, but the general who guarded the city sent a team of cavalry to escort him away.

The general watched the Emperor Cang leave, and muttered in his mouth:

"This time may be the time for my Lou Xiao Fei Huang Tengda, and then I will see who dares to say that I am a straw bale general!"

This general's name is Lou Xiao, a young man, backed by the Lou clan of Shangzhu State, and commanded 30,000 soldiers in the border area of Yan State.

These armor soldiers are called armor thorn slaves, and they are young and strong slaves selected by the border army of Yan State, and they are not part of the Yan State.

Then Lou Xiao turned his head to the armor behind him and said, "Go and inform Shangzhu Guo, and then go to the Qiqi court." ”

In fact, the territory of Yan is not peaceful, and the domestic civilian uprisings are everywhere, and the monarch of Yan State is still intoxicated with beauty, so happy, likes architectural wonders, and thinks that the world is peaceful.

If you want to say that Cangguo is a sect in power, then Yan Guo is a wealthy family in power!

The Hubu Shangshu of the Yan State was often replaced because it could not meet the preferences of the Yan Guojun, until this Hubu Shangshu took office and obtained silver taels by squeezing the people.

The people were forced to breathe by the official taxes of the Yan State, so they revolted one after another, but unfortunately there were many uprisings that were suppressed because there were no martial arts masters.

However, there are also some successful uprisings, such often have a certain martial arts powerhouse, it is said that there are now five large rebel troops in the Yan Kingdom.

These five roads often have martial artists from the Rebirth Realm, and you must know that there are only a dozen Golden Body Realms in the Yan Kingdom.

Some of them are sect martial artists, and the Yan royal clan can only master eight Golden Body Realm martial artists, among which the highest martial arts cultivation is also the peak of the Golden Body Realm.

However, many of the Yan Guojin realm warriors were on the frontier, which led to several rebel armies slowly growing!

The main problem in Yan is the wealthy family.

This also led to the fact that the tax revenue of Yan State was getting lower and lower year by year, but the monarch of Yan State thought that it was corruption of the household department.

Yan Guo uses the Juntian system, but it is not the same system as Xuanli, which makes the family a cancer.

What is the Junda system?

It is to divide the land equally among the common people!

Then the people cultivated the land, and the Yan country collected taxes according to the population!

Taxes are collected for as many people as there are in the family.

It doesn't matter how much food is grown!

This kind of land system, if it does not encounter natural and man-made disasters, greatly promotes the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

The decades of prosperity established before the Tang Dynasty are inseparable from the Juntian system.

However, there is a huge drawback to the Junda system.

That's the privileged class tax exemption!

Some clan landlords, wealthy families, and the children of officials have the right to tax exemption.

In other words, no matter how much land these people owned, they did not have to pay taxes to the imperial court.

This privileged class has existed since ancient times.

Even the previous monarchs of the Yan Kingdom were helpless for the time being!

If that's all there is to it, that's fine.

After all, the privileged are in the minority.

The most in this world are still those ordinary people.

As long as they pay their taxes honestly, they will not be able to shake the country's foundation.

It's just that the Juntian system has been in place for hundreds of years!

In the past hundreds of years, the people who owned the land at the beginning have long since died.

The rest are the descendants of that people.

And these descendants, in these hundreds of years, perhaps for various reasons, could not afford to pay taxes, so they could only sell their land to the family landlords.

When the land is in the hands of the landlords, it becomes their own land, and they do not have to pay taxes to the state.

And so on and again.

The land is still in its original place.

But it became a duty-free zone for the family landlords.

The country's tax revenue is virtually missing.

This goes on for hundreds of years!

The taxes that the imperial court can collect are naturally getting less and less.

The less part all fell into the hands of the landlords of the family.

Xuanli was also at the beginning, but after Su Musha, all of them became land taxes, which were collected according to the land area.

The screen turns.

Nearly a day has passed, and the prince of Cang has also returned to Cangguo and arrived at the national capital, and the escorted Yan knights have also returned to Yan Country one after another.

The prince of Cang looked up, the huge city wall, the city gate engraved with two words "Huangcheng", this is the capital of the king of Cang.

King Cang didn't stop for a moment, and went directly to the Cangguo Palace.

Lord Cang went around and around in this Cangguo Palace, and I looked at the forbidden army guarding Cangguo and the forbidden army guarded by Xuanli was not a level apart.

I couldn't help but feel emotion in my heart, thinking of why my Cangwang clan has become such a field now.

When he arrived in front of the Tingxuan Pavilion where the monarch of Cangguo often rested, the prince of Cangguo arched his hand and said:

"Minister, Cangang has important things to enlighten the monarch."

This Cangwang Lord's name is Cangang, and he is also one of the only two remaining reincarnation realm martial artists in the Cangwang clan.

"Come in!"

An old voice came from inside.

Cang Ang was shocked, this is not the voice of the monarch of Cangguo, this is the voice of the ancestor of the Mountain Ghost Sect "Ghost Yi".

Cang Ang entered the attic and looked up, the dragon chair belonging to the monarch of Cangguo was sitting on the ghost, but Cang Yang, the monarch of Cangguo, was on his right.

Cangyang's age is younger than Luo Xuanli, and the power of Cangguo has been controlled by the three major sects, from the first-rank minister to the ninth-grade official, which has a sectarian relationship.

Among them, the Mountain Ghost Sect was the worst, buying and selling official positions wantonly, and snatching Yuan Shi and silver taels from the treasury of Cangguo.

Now he dares to sit on the dragon chair and let the monarch sit under him, this is to usurp the throne of my Cangguo.

Ghost Yi said to Cang Ang in his old voice, "Are you coming alone?" What about my sect's protectors? And did Xu Liuqing bring it back? ”

Cang Ang said tremblingly:

"No ......"

"Oh? Didn't catch it? ”

Ghost Yi was a little surprised, but he knew that the strength of the Dharma protector was more powerful than Ouyang Kan, didn't he catch it?

"No......... I am the only one in the group of emissaries who is alive, and he ...... Everyone else was killed by Xuan Liguo! ”

Cang Ang intermittently said everything he wanted to say.

Suddenly, a powerful coercion pressed Cang Ang into the ground, and he couldn't climb up.

"You're joking with me, aren't you?"

The old man's voice contained this thick murderous aura, as long as the cangang said "no", he would immediately crush him.
