"Song Guo? Why are you asking this?" Jing Yan frowned.
"It's nothing, it's just that I have never left Dalu Country, so I want to ask about the customs and customs of Song Country." Li Qi said with a smile.
"Yes, but we are still on patrol. Let's chat after we are stationed at night." Jing Yan replied.
Li Qi nodded, this result was what he expected.
After spending the past two days together, he already knew Jing Yan's character.
Exactly the same as the sword.
He is upright and stubborn, but not difficult to get along with. He is just too serious and not suitable to work with.
When faced with a person who doesn't lie, does things in a rigid manner, and doesn't know how to adapt, it is indeed easy to conflict with other people, and when conflicts occur, she is also very good at fighting.
No wonder others call her "Tiger Lady".
She seems to take everyone and everything seriously, putting all her seriousness into everything she encounters. She also devotes all her energy, love, and I don't know what else to practicing swordsmanship. , in short, she can even practice with a sword.
The two continued their patrol, and the whole day was uneventful. This time, there were no wild animals.
However, we met several mining teams.
The mining team looked at it from a distance at first, sizing up the situation of the caravan.
But after Li Qi showed up, they dispersed one after another.
It's easy to go into the mountains and become a thief, but you still have to weigh your strength.
Facing an advanced master, it would be unwise to take action. The two sides were not on the same level at all.
This is the benefit of spending money to hire Li Qi. It seems like nothing is going on, but in fact, there are dangers everywhere along the way. There is no one to protect them. With dozens of trucks and goods, something has happened long ago.
One peaceful day, Li Qi finished his meal, talked to Rabbit twice, and came to Jing Yan's carriage.
Jing Yan is practicing sword practice.
Be serious and serious, forgetting both things and myself. There is only one sword in your heart and in your hand.
Such concentration, such devotion.
No wonder Shen Shuibi would say that she would definitely be promising in the future. For such a person, with a little talent, it would be difficult to imagine that she would be promising.
Allowing Shen Shuibi to point out her weaknesses in person this time is equivalent to asking a fifth-grade expert to point out her progress. This is definitely a great opportunity for her, and it may not be impossible to advance to eighth-grade.
It's a good thing, it's a good thing to make a good relationship and invest in advance.
Li Qi's own guess was that he could not avoid the conflict between Dalu Kingdom and Song Kingdom. Now that he understood the situation and made connections in Song Kingdom, he would definitely come in handy in the future.
Li Qi waited for her to finish practicing this section, then watched her slowly sheath her sword, and then walked towards Li Qi.
"What do you want to ask? What's the situation in Songguo?" Jing Yan walked towards Li Qi and got straight to the point.
There was no greeting at all, and it was so straightforward that it gave Li Qi a headache.
I've been making excuses with people from all walks of life for a long time, and meeting someone so honest is really... not used to it.
However, this can be considered a good thing.
"It's not that mysterious. I just want to understand the customs and customs of Song State. I heard that you just finished the war with Tang State. What is the situation now?" Li Qi asked.
With that said, the two sat next to the bullock cart and started talking.
"Was there a war? It was three or four years ago. In fact, it was nothing. It had almost no impact on the common people. It was just that the high-ranking officials and the great witches were defeated. There was no movement at all." Jing Yan recalled it, and then Explained to Li Qi.
"...The war did not affect civilians?" Li Qi was a little stunned.
"The Tang Dynasty conquered the entire Song Kingdom in three days and defeated three states in one day. What impact can it have?" Jing Yan smiled bitterly: "Ninth-grade people like you and me are considered masters in the world, but in the Tang Army Here, there is only one captain, and there are hundreds in an army, and Tang State has more than one army? So at the beginning, the battlefield did not fall to the ground at all."
She raised her head, as if in fear or recalling, and said with emotion: "On that day, there were ten days in the sky, the moon eclipsed five stars, stars flew and fell, and the army became angry, gradually becoming like a mountain in the clouds, Dragons and tigers move across the sky, and there are countless visions.”
"One day later, everything returned to its original state. Except that the high-ranking officials were replaced by Tang generals, the great shamans were replaced by Taoist priests, and the original shamans were all changed into Taoist priests, there was no difference in anything else. There was no chaos within the Jing family. , still the same as always.”
Jing Yan's statement made Li Qi feel a headache.
This doesn't look like a battle of the same level at all...
However, in the eyes of Tang State, this is what Song State is.
In my own world, it seems to be similar. A special forces unit of a big country can easily overthrow the political power of a small country.
"After that, there will be no other changes in Songguo's governance?" Li Qi asked again.
"There have been changes... For example, we have severely cracked down on corruption and integrated all the discrete sects into the Songguo Taoist Alliance, which is under the unified jurisdiction of the official government and has established laws. Everyone must strictly abide by them, and those who violate them will be dealt with according to the laws. In order to establish authority for the laws, He even killed a sixth-grade mountain god."
"The God of Xiyue, one of the Five Mountains of the Song Kingdom, is a sixth-level Taoist with a body that stretches for five thousand miles. He does not obey the laws of the Tang Dynasty and does not regulate the earth's atmosphere according to regulations to benefit local farmers. Instead, he requires the people below to sacrifice humans and animals as in the past. He was killed on the spot by a Taoist priest, his mountain roots were shattered, and his body was refined into a 'Five Mountains Seal'."
"Then, the Taoist priest consecrated a heroic figure from the Tang Dynasty who died in the war as a mountain god, and gave him the seal of the Five Mountains. He received the local incense and became the new Xiyue of the Song Dynasty."
"After that, the officials of Song State governed the Qingming Dynasty, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Moreover, the government began to set up official schools. All children over six years old and under fifteen years old were required to attend school. Instead of being restrained and practicing, they were given rations. They needed to study for three years. The first In the first year, he studied writing, in the second year, he studied law, and in the third year, he studied rituals and music. Only in this way can he leave the official school."
"If there is a natural disaster, monks will come forward to deal with it. They will also adjust the climate to make the earth full of energy and good weather. If there is a disaster, military equipment will be immediately deployed to capture the evildoers and deal with them according to law."
"In addition, there are many utensils flowing in, which seem to be made by people of reason. They search for the principles of the operation of utensils day and night, and create many weird objects, such as the 'Mirror Flowers, Water Moon', which seems to be just a round mirror, but it can project images. Being able to see the scenery thousands of miles away, watch singing and dancing in the distance, or talk to the person holding the other half of the mirror, has become popular in Songguo, but it’s too expensive and I can’t afford it.”
"So, it has been three years. Songguo is probably much better than before." Jing Yan thought about it and answered truthfully.
Li Qi was stunned for a moment while listening.
I'm super!
This Tang country is too advanced!
You were promised to be the villain!
How can you be so civilized!
