Chapter 3: Concubine De
After the complicated welcome ceremony was over, Mo Wuregret got up and stood beside Liu Chen, at this time, Wu Tong no longer knew where he had gone, this is Canglan County, and it is the privilege of King Canglan and Princess Canglan to enjoy the worship of the people, even if Wu Tonggui is the young master of the Sword Sect, he cannot trespass here.
"Lord Wang, give an edict, this is your first time returning to the fiefdom, according to the custom, after the return ceremony, you should issue the first edict!"
Facing people's expectant gazes, Liu Chen leaned sideways to Mo Wuregret, lowered his voice and asked, "What edict?
"When Lord Martial God came to Canglan County, this city had just been built, and the first edict of the Lord at that time was, 'All those who have worked hard for the construction of Canglan County will enjoy the household registration of Canglan County forever!'" Mo Wuxian stroked the beard on his chin and smiled: "After Lord Sword God succeeded to the throne, the first edict was about commercial matters, according to the scale of the Qinhuai River, Fengyue Hutong was built in Canglan County to increase the popularity of the city. When the Sword Saint succeeded to the throne and followed the advice of Princess Bliss, Canglan County dismissed the armies of Zhongzhou and Yunzhou to assist in the defense, and officially had Canglan County's own city guards. ”
"How many families do we have in Canglan County?" Liu Chen already had a plan in his heart, and then asked with a smile: "Shinong Industry and Commerce, what is the ratio?"
"Returning to the prince!" Mo Wuregret stretched out his hand to take the roster from the hands of the small officials in the audience, and explained eloquently while flipping through it: " As of the thirteenth year of the Apocalypse, Canglan County has a total of 120,000 households, including 8,000 gentry, 52,000 farmers as their business, 30,000 craftsmen, 19,000 all businessmen, and less than 1,000 traditional nobles, the headquarters of the city guards are taken from the children of Canglan County, with 4,000 cavalry, 8,000 infantry, 3,000 crossbowmen, and a total of 276 civil and military officials at all levels in the city, all of whom are from Tianji Pavilion......
"In addition, Canglan County is the largest waterway transportation hub in central Kyushu, where transportation and fishing are the largest economic pillars, followed ......by agriculture and commerce."
"Hmm!" Liu Chen nodded, then called Xu Yuyao, who was standing quietly in the distance, and immediately whispered a few words in the girl's ear.
Hearing Liu Chen's words, Xu Yuyao hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted her silver teeth, under the gaze of the people in the city, she stood at the front of the high platform of the square, and felt that everyone's eyes fell on her, Xu Yuyao looked a little flustered, and just when he was at a loss, Liu Chen's light cough came from behind.
"In the thirteenth year of the Apocalypse, the edict of the king of Canglan County!" The gentle voice resounded in the square, and everyone knelt on the ground again, as if worshipping, seeing this situation, Xu Yuyao's heart quietly rose a burst of heroism, and then even the voice no longer trembled," As of today, the king of Canglan County has entered the city, all the people who hold the household registration of Canglan County, regardless of occupation, whether they are noble or low, are exempt from paying taxes for ten years, and the recruitment of government soldiers has also been changed to a voluntary registration system.
On the high platform, the clear and moving voice with the wind spread far away, people simply can't believe their ears, since ancient times, the emperor succeeded to the throne is only exempt from part of the miscellaneous taxes for three years, exempt from all taxes for ten years, this is simply unheard of, especially this pension system, is a historical precedent, the human race perennial war, resulting in a lot of old people have no place to rely on, white-haired people send black-haired people are everywhere, since then, the old, weak, sick and young of Canglan County are led by the palace to support the support of all nobles, this time, the cohesion of the entire Canglan County instantly reached its peak。
"The princess is holy!"
"Long live the princess!"
"Princess, you are our reborn parents!"
“......”
After being silent for a long time, the crowd suddenly erupted into cheers, and people left tears excitedly, dedicating all the praises in the world to Xu Yuyao on the high platform, listening to the praise of the people, Xu Yuyao's eyes were hot, and they were moist in an instant, and the simple people were always the loveliest people.
"Damn!" Liu Chen had a black line in his head, listening to people's praise, he turned his head to look at Mo Wuregret with a wry smile on his face and said, "Why do they all thank the princess, but not me?"
"Because...... Because ......" Mo Wuregret struggled for a long time, and then he drooped his shoulders and said helplessly: "Everyone thinks that the prince is afraid of guilt, so such a thing is ...... It must be the opinion of the princess...... Belch...... That's it. ”
"Concubine De!"
"Concubine De!"
People began to affectionately call Xu Yuyao 'Concubine De', you must know that this title, in the history of Canglan County, is still the first one, a total of more than 80 Canglan princesses, more than ninety percent of the concubines have no title, according to the tradition of Canglan County, the title of the princess can only be sealed by the people, the word 'De' is already the highest praise for the new princess!
As the fifth titled princess in the history of Canglan County, Xu Yuyao at this time was even more surprised in her heart, quietly turned around, and glanced at Liu Chen with affection, Xu Yuyao's heart was as sweet as drinking honey, "Brother Chen still likes me, this kind of treatment, Beigong Fu's ugly monster can't enjoy it at all, hum!"
On the way back to the palace, Xu Yuyao hummed a little song all the way, and the mood was very beautiful, along the way, people saw her bow first, and then asked the king of Canglan County, Liu Chen's tongue was bitter, and there was a feeling of lifting a stone to hit his own feet, he just didn't want to accept people's thanks, he didn't want to see someone thanking him to Dade, but he didn't think about it, all the benefits were taken up by Xu Yuyao, if the little fat girl who was far away in the barren mountains knew, he didn't know how to end it.
As soon as he thought of the little chubby girl, Liu Chen looked at Xu Yuyao with a hint of guilt in his eyes, "I can't give you all the love, so give you everything you can give!"
"Done?" Coming to the backyard of the palace, Liu Chen looked at Wu Tong, who was lying under the grape trellis with his eyes closed, moved a chair and sat beside him, and listened to him complain sullenly: "Now you let Xu Yuyao gain power, we will have a hard time in the future, I said that you are such a big head, there is no way to take her?
This palace has some history, after the two kings of Canglan County after the martial god moved in, they did not change the pattern of this mansion, according to the current scale, as the palace of the first king in the world, it seems a little small, and it is also a little old, Liu Chen didn't pay attention to Wu Tong, just looked at the furnishings in the backyard, not like in autumn, the flowers and plants here seem to be a little springy.
The well-behaved and sensible maids waited until Liu Chen sat down, and the stone table beside him was full of tea and snacks, and when the young master of the Sword Sect spoke, the group of girls bowed their heads in an orderly manner and walked out, the princess Niangniang entered the mansion, and all the maids and grandmothers in the palace went to the front hall, and met this Concubine Niangniang, who had a title as soon as she entered the city, compared to it, our Canglan County King was actually left out in the cold.
