"Oh! Sister Li, tell me why we suddenly have an extra person here!" This beautiful woman in barbarian clothes looked at Liu Jixing who was standing calmly on the wooden plank in front of her. Although she looked young, she stood there proudly and upright. , He really does have a bit of a tiger-backed momentum.
What's more, the past few days of running around made Liu Jixing's skin look darker and healthier. Especially when Liu Jixing looked at her with a slight smile, her eyes began to be confused, as if she was wondering how this person came to be. While looking at Liu Jixing, he tilted his head and asked inside the room.
Seeing that Liu Jixing did not avoid her gaze at all, she couldn't help but look a little surprised at first, and then his eyes raised like crescent moons. This was a confident and charming smile. Her sincere and honest eyes were not at all afraid of Liu Jixing's strangeness. A pair of beautiful big eyes flickered, not shying away from Liu Jixing's rudeness. Instead, they boldly looked Liu Jixing up and down, seemingly not as reserved as the Han women.
Originally during the Five Dynasties, folk customs followed the bold and generous trend of the Tang Dynasty. It can be said that women's personalities and daily behaviors were sometimes freer than men's. For example, Guo Wei only married widows and married women throughout his life, and Guo Rong's Queen Fu took the initiative to marry after she lost her husband. This is not as popular as Neo-Confucianism in the Song Dynasty, and then excessive suppression of women caused women to become subordinate to men. That time period.
Because of the lack of men in this era, most women took the initiative to look for male husbands. Normally, it is natural to be accommodating to men, which has led to many women gradually becoming men's private property in order to depend on men for survival.
Liu Jixing also studied this issue in his spare time at Prince Xing's Mansion. If we follow the original development of history, the Song Dynasty unified the Central Plains in the following decades. Because the two emperors Taizu and Taizong suppressed military power, the Song Dynasty abandoned the military and focused on commercial, economic and agricultural development. Self-cultivation and recuperation allowed the population to gradually develop, because without the misery and tragedy of military wars, men were naturally like men in Jiaozhou in later generations, leading to the rise of men.
In the following dynasties, and even in the later generations of Liu Jixing's life, the remaining patriarchal ideas still dominated this woman's life. The ugliness of Chinese men can be seen from the transition from the Tang Dynasty, where women were powerful, to the Five Dynasties. After the Song Dynasty, where decades of wars in the Five Dynasties promoted economic development, men's power in society and life gradually skyrocketed.
After that, a group of so-called Neo-Confucianists appeared who indulged in debauchery, and gradually extended a set of perverse Neo-Confucianism theories. This was the beginning of the history of enslaving women for thousands of years.
The Five Dynasties was an era that inherited the past and ushered in the future. Although it lasted only a few decades, it experienced changes in several generations and experienced changes in political power such as kings, kings, Xi, and Li. It was common for fathers and sons to commit regicide and rebel against each other. The big fish ate up the small fish and the separatist regime snatched power, causing the people to be displaced or their families to be destroyed.
The era in which Liu Jixing lives today is already at the end of the Five Dynasties and several dynasties in terms of the entire Five Dynasties period. Later generations like to regard the five changing regimes of the Central Plains, namely the Later Liang, the Later Tang, the Later Jin, the Later Han, and the Later Zhou, as the dominant historical existence. Liu Jixing was living in this era, so he really disagreed.
Not to mention the Han Dynasty of the Southern Han Dynasty of the Liu family in Lingnan, the Liu family ruled Lingnan for sixty years starting from Liu Jixing's cheap uncle Xiang Emperor Liu Yin. Sixty years is enough to give birth to four generations, so many people in Lingnan have no awareness of the Central Plains at all. They only know that they live in the Han Dynasty ruled by the Liu family.
Not to mention Ma Chu and Wang Min who had been destroyed, Shuzhong and Southern Tang were not in the eyes of the Liu family in Lingnan. Because Shuzhong was only twenty years old, the Southern Tang Dynasty usurped power from Yang Wu. On the contrary, the political power of the Qian family of Wuyue has always been a scenic spot, and the Liu family has always respected it.
Because of the southward migration of culture from the north and even the Central Plains, the Liu family, who had always called themselves immigrants from the Central Plains, did not have enough respect for the previous dynasties of the Central Plains, but they had always had some envy and respect for the Wuyue Kingdom in the Jiangnan area. He believes that although the Qian family is not strong in combat power, it is one of the best separatist regimes left over from the Central Plains.
This kind of thinking of the Liu family naturally greatly affected the thinking patterns of future generations. Liu Jixing knew that the owner of his body loved Wu Yue Kingdom very much. To understand the true culture of the Five Dynasties, the Wuyue Kingdom is naturally the main one, while the Southern Tang Dynasty adjacent to it can only be used as a supplementary and partial reference.
However, Liu Jixing knew that part of the Liu family's prejudice against the Southern Tang Dynasty came from Liu Sheng's dissatisfaction with the Li family's capture of Yang Wu. Secondly, the Southern Tang Dynasty's military strength in various places had always been the strongest.
Spending a lot of money, Liu Jixing focused on searching for the culture belonging to the Five Dynasties in Wuyue Kingdom and Southern Tang Dynasty. Naturally, it can be seen that at this time, not only in terms of politics, population, culture, but also the daily life of the people, a completely different pattern occurred from the Tang Dynasty and even previous eras.
At this time, the people were tired, indicating the need for a strong unification. It is because of this longing for home that the war in the Central Plains was so simple in the next ten years. Liu Jixing also understood better that it was the voices of the common people that greatly affected the direction of people's thinking. Even the conservative thinking of men in the future began to crack from this time.
Liu Jixing, who came from later generations, has interpreted "Zizhi Tongjian" countless times, and has also read the old and new "History of the Five Dynasties" countless times. It can be said that the human nature, history, and historical truth of this era are fully understood. What's more, this era is indeed full of wars and chaos. Women are an important factor in increasing the population. Sometimes they are even the main force in life, so it is not surprising that women have the initiative.
The behavior of women in this era in life is completely a product of this era. Nowadays, there are many women everywhere in the Central Plains, but there are really very few men, because the separatist forces collect almost all the people's money in order to maintain their military power. Folks often have ten rooms and nine empty houses, or it is rare for ten households to have only one male.
In the past, Liu Jixing thought it was an exaggeration. Later, he privately visited the counties around Prince Xing's Mansion incognito, and found out that it was Lingnan, which was relatively peaceful. This phenomenon was not as miserable as described, so Liu Jixing adopted a new military service law as soon as he ascended the throne.
Of course, the reason why Liu Jixing was able to successfully implement the new military system was that he successfully understood the surrounding situation three months before he ascended the throne. When the new military service law was implemented, it not only greatly improved the benefits of military service, but also solved the problem of worries about military service. Although these problems cannot be solved in a year or two, the migration of refugees has undoubtedly helped Liu Jixing a lot.
Of course, there is another secret that few people know, that is, Liu Jixing has a women's army that no one else has, and the total number of soldiers has reached the conventional three thousand. The most important thing is that after each period of female soldiers receive certain training, they are secretly dispersed to various troops and intelligence agencies.
Liu Jixing's requirement is that in the future he can control his troops within a certain number of people and provide key forces for wars in his specific area. Now Liu Jixing is proud of the soldiers he has, because not only the strength of the soldiers is improving, but also female soldiers, as an emerging force, are exerting great power.
After experiencing his own era in later generations, and having the precedent of using less to defeat more like great men, Liu Jixing completely understood the truth. Only truly having an army of your own is the last word to truly have sovereignty.
The power of women cannot be ignored at any time. In this era, it seems to be extremely normal for women to fall in love with a man.
Compared with the true reality of the current era, the records of the present era in later generations are often less than one-tenth as authentic. Liu Jixing, who controls the secret party of the largest intelligence agency in the Central Plains, also knows the dynamics of political power in various parts of the Central Plains, as well as the structure of their current basic combat capabilities.
This is also the real reason why He Xiaoyao was able to successfully enter the Chu Territory and seize Yongzhou City easily. Without grasping actual information before taking action, the role played by the secret party was far greater than the actual role of the war itself.
Like a weapon in the hands of a giant, intelligence is too important in this era. Liu Jixing does not have that much energy to interfere with the development of grassroots intelligence in various places, but after he has given the basic requirements to various intelligence agencies, he hopes that the organization can complete it at all costs. This is also the meaning of the existence of intelligence agencies.
According to the survey of the population in various places and the replenishment of soldiers of the separatist forces in various places, Liu Jixing's consciousness was higher than that of the rulers of this era. I understand that the power of the masses is infinite. The impromptu investigation has been far more thorough and thorough than before the war, and it is also many times stronger.
Now Liu Jixing can proudly say that he has more detailed information about people in various places than the leaders of the separatist forces in various places. Although it cost countless manpower and material resources, Liu Jixing knew that the general collection of this kind of intelligence was worth it.
Nowadays, due to wars in various parts of the world, there has been a serious imbalance in the ratio of men to women. Even though Lingnan has been peaceful and peaceful for decades, there have been several major battles, large and small. Not to mention the people in the Central Plains region, the neighboring Southern Tang Kingdom, after decades of rule by Yang Wu, the ruler of the Southern Tang Dynasty, who intended to advance north, often launched wars in all directions.
Most of the refugees entering from the border this time came from the Southern Tang Kingdom. It is conceivable that this is the case for the Southern Tang Kingdom, which is as wealthy as Jiangnan, let alone other separatist countries. Therefore, the devastation of war in these years has also made ordinary women act much bolder than ordinary men in order to survive. This is also extremely normal.
Because this era is not an era of advanced technology in later generations. Communication at this time is extremely lacking and inconvenient. Not to mention that we are still in this war-torn era, even in the relatively peaceful times in ancient times, many people met once briefly, and maybe never saw each other again for life.
Therefore, there is a saying that meeting is fate. Chinese literati throughout history have left many exquisite chapters and poems on the meeting of men and women. There are many songs that Liu Jixing is familiar with. It is normal for men and women to love each other in this era, and the story can naturally be said to be vivid and vivid.
In addition, in this era where wars can happen at any time and there is a serious shortage of men, if a woman falls in love with a man, any normal person will not find it strange. At this point, it is a bit similar to the men and women who fell in love freely in the later generations of Liu Jixing. As long as she is a thoughtful person, after she has fallen in love with a man and understands that the man also likes her, she will usually obey and choose to follow him without hesitation.
When Liu Jixing was in Prince Xing's palace, he had naturally heard this kind of heart-stirring gossip, and he still had some fantasies and expectations for this kind of romantic encounter. What a beautiful encounter it was. Although there is no shortage of women around him now, this different feeling of love and the plot of the encounter still deeply stimulated Liu Jixing.
But now, due to their status and concerns about their own safety, they could not let themselves go out of the palace for a walk alone. Liu Jixing lost a lot of fun and had no chance to have this kind of feeling with others.
Although I had met Xiao Yuer by chance before, it was after all a period of contact. What was more important was that I needed Lao Wang to vigorously promote the consumption of seafood, so I could only think about this kind of beauty.
At this moment, when he saw the watery eyes of this barbarian woman smiling sweetly at him as if she could speak, his heart was already filled with tears, which made Liu Jixing straighten his back and look even more heroic.
With Liu Jixing's current identity and status, how could there be a shortage of beautiful women around him, but it is inevitable for men to have a liking for beautiful women of the opposite sex. Looking at the curious woman in barbarian clothes in front of him, although he felt a little funny, as a confident man, Liu Jixing was still a little proud of being looked at by a woman with such naked eyes.
But when I thought about the voice I just heard, although I was particularly surprised and happy, I felt a little relieved when I thought about the secret report I had received about her before. Although Liu Jixing was a little excited, he was even a little surprised. But looking at the beautiful barbarian woman in front of him, looking at him unscrupulously, Liu Jixing still felt a sense of pride in his heart, and even had a hint of mischief.
In a short period of time that day, Lingnan absorbed a lot of refugees from various borders and neighboring separatist forces who came to seek refuge or escape from famine. Not only did it accelerate the population growth, it also had a lot more natural resources. Soldiers and labor. Liu Jixing naturally understood the principle of taking from the people and using it for the people. He did not squeeze these refugees too much, but instead comforted and encouraged them.
In order to increase the population growth, warlords and towns in various places hope that everyone will start a family early. At Liu Jixing's age, many people already have two or three children. Although they are not very old in actual age, as the marriageable age has advanced, men of Liu Jixing's age are already considered the main labor force in many places.
Liu Jixing resettled the refugees who had migrated from various places and required them to live in designated areas. It gave these immigrants a secure sense of belonging, not only effectively managed these refugees, but also enabled the rapid development of Lingnan's agriculture and economy, as well as infrastructure and military strength.
In Liu Jixing's heart, and from the perspective of the officials in the small court, he naturally thought that the owner of his body was still young, but ordinary people would not see it that way. Seeing the look in the eyes of this barbarian woman, Liu Jixing instinctively made a gesture that men thought was the coolest.
His own intelligence agency is operating effectively, and he naturally grasps the dynamics and factors in various places, racing against time for his own cultivation and survival. Another important task is to understand the natural factors and habits of people in various places.
Because he understands that the population in the world is declining sharply, and in some places, many men are even starting families in their teens. A strong and strong man will be the main target pursued by a group of women. As for women, they have even less status in society and life. Either reduced to a reproductive machine and private property, or became a victim of war and interests.
The great impact of the times on women and families was particularly prominent in the Five Dynasties decades. But at this moment, Liu Jixing came from the later generations and experienced the open and enlightened life in the later generations. When he saw the look in this woman's eyes, he couldn't help but exclaim that he was in a bit too much.
Of course, Liu Jixing's true psychological condition is naturally not his true age. This young man has already experienced the life of later generations, and coupled with the corruption of his status in this life, he has a deep understanding of the look in this woman's eyes. He secretly said that this woman was no ordinary person. Her eyes looked charming and tender, but in fact she was a woman with a charming body.
If we use the words of later Liu Jixing era, this kind of woman is a natural beauty. However, it seems that her eyes are filled with affection, but in fact, this is a natural feeling in her body. It is not that she has a crush on someone when she meets them. Of course, this situation is not excluded, but it is very rare.
Liu Jixing is no longer a novice when it comes to women. In addition, Liu Jixing himself is already a practitioner because of his Taoist status, and he can be regarded as a relatively accomplished practitioner. Although Liu Jixing's state of mind was far from matching his own cultivation level, his vision was far beyond that of ordinary people, and he had long since noticed that her charming smile came from nature, rather than deliberately being interesting to him.
If any man thought that she was flirting with him, and if this woman in barbaric clothes had her own intentions, there was no telling how the man might have died. Because the clarity underneath her charming smile could not be seen through by ordinary men?
If you don't know countless women or have a certain level of determination, how can you escape from her charming hints.
This woman must be no ordinary person. Her bold behavior and eyes are beyond what ordinary women can do. If she was the original resident here, how could he easily mess with and tease her, let alone the familiar voice in the house.
Having been in this era for so long, and having some basic understanding of women's decorations in previous lives, Liu Jixing is obviously not a rookie who is ignorant of folk customs. Looking at the hair accessories on the head of this barbarian woman, I knew that although she looked young, she was actually already a woman.
Although Liu Jixing didn't have too many delusions about married women, seeing such a beautiful woman becoming a married woman did not make him jealous or sad. He was also curious about what kind of man she would marry!
Of course, Liu Jixing also knew that in a place where barbarians lived together, if he accidentally messed with someone's wife, it would immediately lead to a life-and-death struggle. Although Liu Jixing was not a person who was afraid of trouble in this life or in future generations, he also knew that there was no need to mess with him. Of course, if this was a girl, Liu Jixing would really want to tease her.
Not to mention the person sitting in the pavilion, he was thinking about a figure that he couldn't see clearly at all. Liu Jixing was not afraid of death, but thought that Xia Qinghou and Gao Yangyi had not shown up, and he was not familiar with the situation here, so there was no need to cause trouble for him first.
Thinking of this, Liu Jixing couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he saw the woman in barbaric clothes looking back and turning her head to look towards the small pavilion. The man who had been sitting motionless in the pavilion suddenly disappeared.
Where are the people!
This was the first reaction in Liu Jixing's heart. When he slowly turned around, Liu Jixing suddenly felt his whole body stiffen because he suddenly noticed that the man in gray appeared. As if he was no longer a creature in this world, he appeared again so suddenly. He was standing quietly on the plank road less than five feet away to his right. However, he still had his long hair hanging down and stood there with his hands behind his back and his back.
Elusive!
It was simply a shocking method. Although he didn't know the difference between him and Xia Qinghou or Gao Yangyi, Liu Jixing at least knew one thing. This man's skills were far beyond what he could understand.
Liu Jixing, who was surprised and uncertain, stood there motionless for a while.
"Xiu Niang, you are here to trick me again. Where are the outsiders here?" The gentle voice in the room came closer, and the door was completely opened, and a woman appeared from behind the barbaric woman.
