Getting something for nothing is an emotion that is easily fermented.
After being used to getting things for free without spending money for a long time, everyone is naturally unwilling to ask them to spend money to buy them.
But if I want to resist, I have no reason.
After all, taking grain for free is a government order, and spending money to buy grain is also a government order.
Even if the price is increased by 10%, the grains produced by the government are cheaper than those brought by traveling merchants.
In other words, the grain is still the same grain, but now you need to spend money to buy it.
Since there are only two ways to go now, everyone will naturally want to start businesses without capital at first.
Such as robbery!
Their plan was very good, and this was a job that could be completed using only physical strength.
The things they snatch back can also be sold to others.
And the only thing they have to think about is: Who to rob!
This is a big problem.
Dachang is adjacent to the Three Kingdoms.
Mongolia is a nomadic people, and even their residences are temporary tents.
They are the only ones left poor.
Every autumn and winter, Mongolia would send troops to attack Zhen and Zhao in order to grab stuttering...
Mongolians live in groups based on tribes.
Although the number of each tribe is not large, they are all brave and good at fighting.
If you rush to grab things from Mongolia, the most likely outcome is that you will have your legs broken by the other party and become their slave.
Although Xixia is a small country, the country is extremely wealthy.
However, since Xixia has been able to survive in the cracks of the five countries until now, its strength cannot be underestimated.
If they fight against Xixia, they will most likely be carried back sideways.
Speaking of Tubo...
Forget it, the food eaten by the people in that shabby place felt shabby, otherwise the Tubo people wouldn't often appear at the border looking for trouble.
What they did not do was seek some food from the people of Chang State.
Grabbers...
Haha, I have a customs clearance document issued by the imperial court.
As long as you hold a document in hand, you will be regarded as a citizen of Dachang.
If they dared to take action, they would probably end up being hung up in a string at the city gate.
After discovering that the side door was impassable, everyone was alerted to find that their country seemed to be much weaker than the surrounding countries.
If one day there is an outbreak in neighboring countries, they may become lambs to be slaughtered.
This realization is very scary.
If only the emperor's order told the people: "Our situation is very dangerous, we need to be prepared for danger in times of peace, stay vigilant at all times, and work hard to strengthen ourselves."
Everyone will just listen to these words as a joke.
But when people discover the country's crisis themselves, a strange but intense emotion appears in them - a sense of national responsibility.
Current facts prove that their country is already much weaker than other countries.
How to make yourself stronger has become a huge problem.
After half a year of inner turmoil, everyone's mood finally stabilized and they began to actively look for a way out.
Even if they are really faced with running away, they must have physical strength, otherwise they will not be able to run.
From passively waiting for county government subsidies at the beginning to actively seeking a way to survive on their own, they have experienced a sublimation of self-awareness.
He has no skills, he can't even beat the opponent during robbery.
Here, the people have begun to work hard to enrich themselves.
On the other side, a new batch of tribute envoys have entered the border of Dachang.
Jin Qing was actually very confused. After a year, Dachang had not yet been tricked into subjugation by her.
I heard from the tax officer that this year’s tax revenue was actually 30% higher than last year.
Jin Qing scratched his head in confusion, unable to figure out the key to it anyway. This is unscientific!
Similarly, the envoys who had just entered the territory of Dachang were also secretly shocked, how could the people of Dachang be so strong!
Something happened to the envoy group that went to Beijing last year. When they were taken back, they were already dying. They rested for a long time before they recovered.
I would rather resign than come to Dachang again this year.
Therefore, they had the opportunity to go on a mission.
Before leaving, we naturally want to learn from our seniors.
The message he got was: stay away from the envoys in Kucha and bring more money.
Everyone originally thought that the situation of Dachang State should not be much different from theirs, except that the territory was larger and the number of troops was larger.
But looking at it today, the situation in Dachang was completely different from what they imagined.
Logically speaking, Dachang, like them, should be a land full of yellow sand.
But they actually saw the regular farmland at the end of the yellow sand, as well as a large number of livestock.
There seems to be no lazy people in Dachang, everyone is working hard.
When they passed by, the people looked at them and the carriage they brought with alert expressions.
The messengers had a feeling that these figures were evaluating something.
Just like that, under the gaze of the people of Dachang, he came to Kyoto with trepidation.
An even more shocking thing happened: how could the officials of Dachang be so strong.
The people in Kyoto are all pretending to be military households. Why are they so powerful?
After the envoys had settled down, the etiquette officer turned around to leave, but was unexpectedly stopped by the Pei envoy: "Sir, can I ask you about the art of governing your country?"
Although this request was inappropriate, he was really curious about the changes in Dachang.
When other envoys who had just walked out of the door heard what he said, they quickly gathered around and wanted to hear it too.
The etiquette officer and the officials behind him looked at each other, and then looked across the crowd at Fugui standing in the distance.
Fugui and Wangcai nodded solemnly to them, and in less than a moment of burning incense, he took a basket of rolling pins and sent it to the etiquette officer: Let's do it!
The etiquette officer took out the most convenient one from the box, weighed it in his hand, and then looked at the envoy: "Teaching by words is worse than teaching by example. Since you are so curious, let's have a thorough chat!"
Fugui stayed away from the battlefield, hiding in the distance and sticking his head out to watch the excitement.
Hiss, it really hurts to look at it.
Time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, it has been three years since Jin Qing came to this world.
Thinking of his original dream, Jin Qing looked at Amu with more kindness in his eyes, and even tried to give Amu a loving smile: "Child, you can take over. Are you happy or surprised?"
As everyone knows, just when Jin Qing was about to tell Amu the good news, Amu came over to say goodbye to her.
At that time, Jin Qing's heart was like thousands of horses galloping, and it finally boiled down to one sentence: Nani!
Looking at Amu who was kneeling on the ground to resign, Jin Qing felt his back molars itching: "What did you say you were going to do!" What kind of place did she think she could come and leave whenever she wanted? !
Amu's body knelt straight: "Getting married, my father arranged a marriage for me back then. But after my father's accident, my father's tribe fell into the hands of others. I fled alone and have not returned for many years. Home. But I asked and the girl is still waiting for me."
As Amu spoke, his eyes remained on Jin Qing's face.
He was very grateful to his aunt for her kindness, but the girl had been waiting for him, and it was his responsibility to go back and marry her back.
Jin Qing was a little stunned when he heard this: "How old are you!"
