According to the battle plan, the two great elders will defend the city with 2,000 elite soldiers, and when the combined forces of the four major families gather in Hanoi City, the two dragon knights will each lead 500 elite soldiers to attack the lair of the four major families.

The young dragon lord is responsible for the surprise attack on Xianning Town, and the little dragon girl is responsible for the surprise attack on Hekou Town, so as to break the situation and make the four major families unable to echo from the end.

Xianningzi transferred the army, the giants and the Eight King Kongs out to attack Hanoi City, and the town of Xianning was very empty at this time. Even though Xianningzi's castle was impregnable, the young dragon lord flew directly to the castle on a dragon and dealt with the crossbowmen defending the city.

The giants and the Eight King Kongs were gone, and no one could help the Young Dragon Lord, and the defenders of the castle were quickly wiped out. Five hundred elite soldiers entered the castle to garrison, and Xianningzi's family became prisoners of the young dragon lord.

With the occupation of the castle by the Young Dragon Lord, the young and middle-aged men within a radius of dozens of miles gathered in Xianning Town. The young dragon lord opened a warehouse to release salt, and some of those young and strong people transported the salt back to their hometown for emergency relief, and some stayed to mention the young dragon lord to liquidate those salt tyrants in Xianning Town.

At the same time, the little dragon girl's surprise attack on Hekou Town was not very smooth, because Hekou Town was not like Xianning Town, where the young dragon lord could gather young people to attack together. The little dragon girl commanded the army to attack several times but were repelled by the defenders, and in desperation, the little dragon girl rode the dragon and flew directly to the fortress.

Just when the attack and defense were in full swing, Xiaolongnu appeared in the fortress with Yu Qiuzi's youngest son in her arms, followed by Yu Qiuzi's wife. Madame asked the defenders to lay down their weapons, and the more than 400 elite soldiers of the little dragon girl entered the fortress and surrendered the defenders' weapons.

At dusk, the Young Dragon Lord and Alanjiyi arrived on the dragon as scheduled and appeared in the sky above Hanoi City. At the same time, Xianningzi got the news that the lair was occupied. Xianningzi originally planned to take a desperate gamble and conquer the city of Hanoi in one fell swoop, but after learning that the town of Hekou had also been captured, dragons appeared in the sky again, so Mingjin withdrew his troops to preserve his strength.

Xianningzi also knew that it was impossible to resist the attack of the Royal Dragon Clan by relying only on the two towns of Chaoyang Town and Dugu Town, which were not connected from end to end. Now he can only gather the remnants of the soldiers and go to seek refuge in the powerful minister Gongsun Jingyang.

After convincing Zuo Qiuzi in Chaoyang Town and Xie Qiuzi in Dugu Town, Xian Ningzi offered the four major families to withdraw from Chaoyang Town and Dugu in exchange for their captured families. Since then, the raccoon dog has completely lost control of the Hetao region, and the Yulong clan has become the new lord of the Hetao region.

The war ended, and it happened to be the first day of the new year. Hanoi City was officially renamed the Dragon City, and the purple golden shield and golden dragon flag fluttered on the city's head, and the Dragon Kingdom was officially restored. With the support of the two Great Elders, the Young Dragon Lord became the monarch of the Dragon Kingdom.

The territory ruled by the Dragon Clan is named after the Young Dragon Lord's name, "Dragon Ryaka". Just like when the young dragon lord was born, the Dragon Relic and Princess Lea promised to the people, "There will never be a slave owner in the place of the dragon man". Therefore, the name of the young dragon lord "Dragon Wing" represents "the place of the dragon man".

Without the shackles worn by slave owners, the people under the rule of the Dragon Clan could pat their chests and shout with great pride, "We are all Dragons".

......

"Salt, like iron, is the lifeblood of the country," the Young Dragon Lord proposed in Parliament, "and there must be no more monopoly like Xianning." The right to mine and operate salt and iron must be managed by the state in a unified manner. For the people of the Royal Dragon Kingdom, they will sell salt and iron at a low price, and sell salt and iron from other countries at a high price, and make a profit to fill the treasury. ”

"The salt and iron official camp is naturally good," Wu Chengzi said, "but if it is sold to the locals at a low price and sold to foreigners at a high price, then the locals will buy a large number of them at a low price and then sell them abroad at a high price, wouldn't it be against the salt and iron official camp?"

"Say you're just a reckless man, you still don't believe it!" Wen Chengzi retorted to Wu Chengzi, "The Chinese people buy at a low price and sell at a high price, and everyone makes money, isn't that just what the young dragon lord wants!"

"That's right," the Young Dragon Lord affirmed, "only when the country is rich and the people are strong, will it be enough to dominate the world." The salt and iron government did not allow the people to buy and sell, but controlled the mining and management rights. Stabilize market prices and prevent local forces from monopolizing operations and shaking the foundation of the country. ”

"Every country has a different currency," Arangiyi asked, "but what currency is used as a standard to ensure the stability of market prices?"

"That's a good question!" Lord Shaolong gave a thumbs up, "Indeed, the currencies of all countries are different nowadays, and there is no fixed standard. Since our salt and iron are going to be sold abroad, then this is the time for us to set standards. ”

"How do you set this standard?" asked Alanjiyi.

"Minting coins," replied the Young Dragon Lord categorically, "mint our own currency of the Dragon Kingdom, and use our own currency as a reference standard for settlement. For example, a dragon sword forged by Dragon Crystal, after all other costs, sells for 150 silver in Setig, 120 silver in Chifenruo, and only 100 silver in our currency. This means that one hundred and fifty silver coins of Setig is equivalent to one hundred and twenty silver coins of Chifenruo, and it is also equivalent to one hundred silver coins of my dragon kingdom. On the contrary, one hundred silver coins from my Dragon Kingdom can be exchanged for one hundred and fifty silver coins from Tyge, and one hundred and twenty silver coins from Chi Fenruo. If he and Chifen want to trade with our Dragon Kingdom, they must refer to our monetary standards for settlement. ”

"In this way," Bunchengzi interjected in thought, "we pay for the goods of other countries with our coinage, and other countries use their gold and silver when they buy our goods. We then minted the gold and silver flowing into our own currency, and in this way, unconsciously, our currency became the standard of barter in the world. This one in and one out, which seems to be an equivalent exchange, actually puts the coinage in our hands. Mastering the right to mint money means mastering the pricing power of goods. The wear and tear of the currency can be borne by other countries, which is equivalent to the invisible collection of seigniorage. ”

"That's right," said the Young Dragon Lord, "we now have an abundance of dragon crystal weapons and salt, and the only thing we lack now is horses. In the past, we couldn't raise horses in the Qianlong Valley, but now we have occupied the Hetao Plain, and some places are raising horses. Therefore, the introduction of horses and the training of cavalry are the top priorities. Whether it is minting coins to exchange what is available, or cultivating fields to increase food production, the purpose is to make the Dragon Clan strong. If the Royal Dragon Clan wants to become strong, it is not enough to rely on two dragons, but also to have strong cavalry. ”

"Lord Shaolong thinks long-term," Alanjiyi interjected, "but although we have complete control over the Hetao region at the moment, Xianning Town is an important town for salt production, and the three towns of Chaoyang, Hekou, and Dugu are military fortresses, so it is impossible to defend them without reliable generals." ”

"I've taken this into account as well," the Young Dragon Lord replied, "it's just who you send to guard the town that matters. ”

Wen Chengzi analyzed, "Yan Feng has a stable personality and is cautious, and the young dragon lord can rest assured that Xianning Town will be handed over to him." ”

"What about the three towns of Chaoyang, Hekou, and Dusk Valley?" asked the Young Dragon Lord.

Wen Chengzi replied: "Hekou Town guards the southern gate of Yulong City, and it is also an important waterway port town, so it is most suitable for Zhanmeng to guard it." Chaoyang Town asked Rou Zhao to go to the town guard, and Dusk Valley Town let Qiang Yu go to the town to guard, and the rest were left in Dragon City for other arrangements. ”

"Okay, this matter will be done according to Elder Wen's wishes!" Lord Shaolong decided, "The last time we investigated, there was a loophole in the corruption of officials, which led to the rebellion of the four major families. This time the census, I will personally supervise. ”

"The young dragon lord doesn't have to bow down in person," Wen Chengzi said, "As a monarch, you should just find the main person in charge." If officials are corrupt, they should find someone who is in charge of picketing officials, and they should find someone who is in charge of finances for taxation...... Although there are no ...... yet However, in order to govern the grassroots well, in addition to the sacred values at the top level, there should also be middle-level organizations. Someone has to do things, someone has to take care of things, and someone has to picket and verify, both division of labor and coordination. In this way, the young dragon master only needs the main person in charge, and he doesn't have to bow down to choke himself enough. ”

"Top-level value...... Grassroots governance...... The middle-level organization ......," the young dragon master muttered.

"If you want to rule a country well, you need all three. Wen Chengzi emphasized again.

The young dragon lord had a flash of inspiration, "Now that the top-level value is there, and the grassroots level is also being governed, so there is a lack of middle-level organizations." ”

"Yes," said Wen Chengzi, "the Dragon Master clan has the world, and the Dragon Master is its official chief, so it is called the Dragon Master." The spring official Qinglong clan is in charge of the people, the summer official Yanlong clan is in charge of the soldiers, the autumn official Bailong clan is in charge of picketing, the winter official Heilong clan is in charge of water conservancy construction, and the Zhongguan Huanglong clan is in charge of government. The five senses are ruled together, and the world is peaceful, this is the middle-level organization. ”

"In this way, the Dragon Kingdom should also have five senses to govern. The Young Dragon Lord said excitedly as relieved.

"This ......," said Wu Chengzi, "the old man agrees. ”

Xiaolongnu also said, "Ah Lan will unswervingly stand behind the young dragon master." ”

"That's good," the Young Dragon Lord immediately knelt down on one knee, "I, the Imperial Dragon Lia, Elder Baiwen will govern the Taifu, and Elder Baiwu will govern the army for the Taishi, and I will ask the two elders to jointly assist me." ”

"Young Dragon Lord, please get up quickly......" The two Great Elders helped the Young Dragon Lord up.

Wen Chengzi said with a smile: "Even if there is no official lord Taifu to assist the young dragon master, the old man must be duty-bound." ”

"Elder Wen said everything the old man wanted to say," Wu Chengzi stroked his beard, "In the past few decades, the old man has worked hard for the Dragon Clan, and at the end of the day, will the old man still care about the official? As long as the old man does not come to the end of his life, how can he leave the young dragon master?"

"Two elders Gao Yi, please accept my worship. As soon as Lord Shaolong's words fell, the people were already kneeling on the ground.

The two great elders helped the Young Dragon Lord up with great satisfaction, and Wu Chengzi said: "The Young Dragon Lord's worship, I am afraid that the two of us can't afford it, but as the master of the Young Dragon Lord, we can afford this worship." ”

"For the appointment and dismissal of these five senses, can Taifu have a suitable candidate?" asked the Young Dragon Lord to Wen Chengzi.

"It's hard to say wow," Wen Chengzi replied, "The ten holy warriors are all martial, and only Yan Feng has both civil and military skills, so the old man arranged for him to be in Xianning Town to control salt." After all, governing government is not the same as going to the battlefield, and the rest of the people will need some time to study it. ”

"Don't let this happen!" the young dragon lord proposed, "Let them take turns first, whoever is looking for a position to do a good job, let him continue to work for a long time, and if he can't do well, he will try something else." They all cross the river by feeling the stones, and they are not afraid of planting and fighting, even if they are planted and fighting, they will get up again. ”

Wen Chengzi nodded, "Well, that's a good idea!"

After repeated scrutiny, the official position of the facial features was finally decided. The priest who pickets hundreds of officials, the Sima who is in charge of the military, the government and the military, the Sikong who is in charge of water conservancy construction, the Sikou who is in charge of the law and prison, and the Situ who is in charge of civil taxation.

The Young Dragon Lord invited Iron Hammer and Amu Shan from Qianlong and gave them a special task, which was to mint coins. At first, Iron Hammer and Amu Shan did not dare to take this hot potato, as a blacksmith and armor craftsman, he was afraid that he would be criticized for messing up the coinage.

In the end, with the encouragement of the young dragon lord and Wen Chengzi, with the cooperation of Amu Shan and the iron hammer, a model of the coin was made. However, several models borrowed from other coins were not adopted, and the final round coin with the Yinglong coat of arms was settled.

Phnom Penh is called the Golden Dragon, silver coins are called the Silver Dragon, and a gold dragon is worth ten silver dragons. In addition to gold and silver, the currency in circulation is minted from the wear-resistant "dragon crystal" iron ore. Dragon crystal is not only wear-resistant, but also heavier than other metals, so coins minted from dragon crystal are like ring-like rings.

Ten dragon crystal rings are worth one silver dragon, but one dragon crystal ring is worth ten copper coins. The casting process of the dragon crystal ring coin is exquisite, and the inside and outside of the ring are engraved with the dragon lia script, which is extremely difficult to counterfeit.

Due to the special quality of Dragon Crystal Iron Ore, most ring coins the same size as Dragon Crystal Iron Ore are lighter than it. It's as heavy as the Dragon Crystal Ring Coin, and it's made in a larger shape. Moreover, even if the Dragon Crystal Ring Coin is slashed with an iron sword, it will be intact, but the iron sword has a gap.

Therefore, the Dragon Crystal Ring Coin is extremely difficult to counterfeit, and the cost of counterfeiting is too high, and Dragon Crystal Iron Ore must be available.

The Young Dragon Lord first used the Iron Sword of the Dragon Wing to exchange a batch of horses from the nobles of the other vassal states, and then signed a non-aggression pact, and also reached an agreement on mutual exchange.

When some nobles get their hands on the iron-clad Dragonlia Steel Sword, don't mention how happy they are. A pact of non-aggression and mutual exchange was immediately signed.

In order to circulate the Dragon Crystal Ring Coin in various countries, the Dragon Nation merchants will display the Iron Sword Slashing Dragon Crystal Ring Coins. The result was remarkable, the iron sword was notched, and the Dragon Crystal Ring Coin was intact.

When people realized the importance of dragon crystal, they all used dragon crystal ring coins. It soon became the mainstream currency of several countries in the vicinity of the Dragon Kingdom, which also earned a lot of gold and silver for the Dragon Kingdom.

Due to the abundance of dragon crystals and salt, many countries are willing to exchange and trade with the Dragon Kingdom. But there are also some powerful princes who have their eyes on the fat of the dragon lair, and want to monopolize the scarce resources of the dragon lair.

The most important thing is that after the beginning of spring, the climate begins to get warmer. Gongsun Jingyang, the powerful minister of the Chang Dynasty, is gathering vassals loyal to him, intending to destroy the Yulonglia people in one fell swoop and monopolize this piece of fat in the Hetao region.
