Krisna put down her chopsticks and walked downstairs without saying anything.
After several soldiers threw these people outside, Ran Jing listened to the footsteps, turned his head and asked in surprise, "Christina, why are you here?"
Krisna waved her hand, and several soldiers stepped back and said, "There were outsiders just now, and Yang Gan couldn't get angry. He asked me to come down, probably to give them a hard time."
"Break your legs?" Ran Jing asked tentatively.
"Otherwise, cut off the ears, otherwise Yang Qian may not be able to get rid of his anger."
"good."
After the two people discussed it, there were screams outside the mansion.
After the two went upstairs, Krisna said, "It's been taken care of."
Yang Qian slammed the wine bowl on the table and said with an unhappy look, "You bastard, you deserve to be disrespected by those who don't understand etiquette. How did you handle it?"
Krisna said, "Cut their ears."
Yang Qian was stunned, "I just want you to beat them up."
"Forget it, I've already cut it off, and I can't put it back." Krisna curled her lips, looking unconcerned.
Yang Gan shrugged with an indifferent expression.
King Xia Wen couldn't bear it any longer and asked directly, "This is the messenger from King Dong. By doing this, wouldn't you be confirming your discord with King Dong?"
Although King Xia Wen said this, his eyes flickered.
Yang Gan sneered and said with a smile, "Old Xia, stop pretending. With your knowledge, I don't believe you can't see that the county is a cancer of Xia State. If the county is not eliminated, the country will be in danger."
"This hidden danger is just like a secret disease in the human body, which is usually fine. For example, if two rangers with strong martial arts skills confront each other with swords, at a critical moment, one of the rangers will suffer from a secret disease, and it will be clear at a glance who is alive and who is dead. .”
In Yang Qian's eyes, Lao Xia is a businessman, and he does business on a large scale. A caravan of two hundred cars is already considered large.
A leader with such strength, whether in terms of vision or courage, is definitely far superior to ordinary scholar-bureaucrats, and it is impossible not to see the general trend of the world clearly.
There was no expression on King Xia Wen's face, and he was already applauding crazily in his heart.
"Damn it, Bugui is the son of a widower, I really mean it from the bottom of my heart, hahahaha~~!"
I don't know what's going on, but the more Ji Xi looks at Yang Qian, the more familiar he feels, but even if he exhausts his brain, he can't think of where he has seen him before.
But he couldn't bear it anymore. To put it bluntly, the princes in the county were all named Ji. They were also relatives, or very close relatives. The relationships were inextricably linked and the interests were intertwined.
"Wu'an Lord, I'm afraid I'm wrong. The county is protecting the peace of our Xia Kingdom. Once the king gives the order, they will lead their troops to serve the king."
Ji Xi looked proud. He came from Chaoxian. No matter how prosperous Yuntong is, he is still a border area. To put it bluntly, he is a country boy. No matter how awesome he is, he is just like that.
Yang Gan licked his lips, scratched his head, looked at King Xia Wen and asked uncertainly, "Your son?"
King Xia Wen pursed his lips and nodded silently.
"Oh, here, he looks very similar, but his brains are different. You won't hand over your family fortune to him in the future. With his pig brains, he might be ruined."
Ji Xi's face flushed and turned red.
"Pa~~!"
He slammed the table hard and said angrily, "You, you, you are a border lord, what do you know? Do you understand the country? Only by guarding one side can Daxia be consolidated forever."
As soon as this statement came out,
Yang Gan's expression changed several times, he burst into laughter, and kept patting his thigh.
"Hahahaha, no, sorry, I usually never laugh at others, I just can't help it, hahaha."
Yang Gan laughed so hard that he almost lost his breath. Mu Qing and Xiao Yu also covered their faces and laughed. Cao Wushuang flashed a sneer, the corners of his eyes slightly raised, and a look of disdain climbed onto his cheeks.
King Xia Wen's face was as dark as a stove at this time. His stupid son couldn't even see this. He was blinded by the benefits given by his relatives.
"The traitor~~!" King Xia Wen gritted his teeth and turned to look at Ji Xi. The murderous look in his eyes frightened Ji Xi so much that he pursed his lips and was speechless for a moment.
Seeing her own brothers being ridiculed, Manyin couldn't sit still. Ji Xi and Meng Heng were sent here, but she did nothing wrong, and Jun's father liked her very much.
The corners of Man Yin's mouth raised, her face tilted, and she said, "You said the county is a cancer? How can you see that?"
Yang Gan looked at Mu Qing and smiled, "Do you know?"
"I don't know much, so I'm afraid it's hard to tell."
"But it doesn't matter."
Mu Qing nodded and said with a smile, "Actually, when our Xia Kingdom implemented the county system, the enfeoffment system had already started to fall behind."
"It is undeniable that at the beginning, the enfeoffment system was really good and was conducive to stabilizing the order of the court."
"It strengthened the royal family's control over local areas, expanded the scope of its rule, and gradually organized transportation throughout the country."
"The state power has gradually changed from loose to strict, and it has also accelerated the prosperity of the country's economy."
"Papa papa~~~!" Ji Xi kept clapping, raising his head, with an expression like you are all here to praise me.
King Xia Wen covered his head with a look of despair. Why didn't he shoot this bastard on the wall back then? It would have saved him from being embarrassed everywhere. Even Mu and everyone could see through it. Shouldn't members of the royal family know about it? ?
"Haha, I haven't finished talking about this young master yet." Mu Qing pursed his lips and chuckled, feeling that this guy was just mediocre.
"I just talked about the advantages, now let me talk about the disadvantages."
"First, the county is relatively independent, with land management, administrative, military and coinage rights, and it is easy to form separatist forces."
After Mu Qing finished speaking, he glanced at Lao Xia and found that his brows were deeply furrowed, which proved that this person had indeed good vision.
"Secondly, the enfeoffment system reached its final stage, which intensified the disloyalty of various counties to the royal family and easily formed a strong local armed separatist regime."
"Third, historical records show that in the late Yanhuang Dynasty, as the vassal states became increasingly powerful, the royal power weakened, and the feudal system was destroyed. The rise of the vassal states at this time is an open challenge to the feudal system."
"Big countries annexed small ones, and countries with the same surname also fought with each other. The Emperors of Yan and Huang couldn't control it. In the last years, the Yan and Huang royal families completely lost their power of enfeoffment and were eventually destroyed."
Everyone couldn't help but nod. Mu Qing's analysis made sense and focused on the key points.
But Ji Xi's face gradually darkened, he was quite unwilling to do so, and said with a stern expression.
"They all have the same surname, how could it be like this?"
Cao Wushuang sneered, "It's okay to say two or three generations, but if we haven't seen each other for a long time, who will know you after three generations?"
"Do you think that now that the king goes to the Eastern Kingdom, the Eastern King will recognize him as his relative?"
Ji Xi was dumbfounded. Indeed, what they said was reasonable, and it was the kind of irrefutable reason.
He couldn't help but ask himself, although those relatives gave him benefits, they had never met each other, and they had no family ties. If King Dong killed him for profit, he probably wouldn't even blink an eye.
A wave of coldness ran into his tailbone, and he couldn't help but shiver.
King Xia Wen didn't even look at his son, so he simply omitted it. He looked at Cao Wushuang and asked, "Mr. Yi Cao, how should we crack it?"
Before he finished speaking, Qu Xiuwen winked at him crazily, and King Xia Wen suddenly reacted, showing a look of bitterness and hatred.
"I hope we don't start a fight. We merchants are most afraid of fighting. Once there is a fight, the business routes between Yuntong and Chaoxian will be cut off."
Cao Wushuang frowned and thought for a while, "I can't say for sure. If it were me, I would definitely need to prepare now."
"Why?"
"Do you think that only Yang Qian was invited to King Dong's birthday party?" Cao Wushuang raised his eyebrows and said coldly.
"Hi~~~!"
After the situation was exposed, everyone, even if they were vaguely aware of it, was shocked.
How many people did the Eastern King call and how many allies did he draw? This is really accurate
Be prepared to follow Chao Xian, hard steel.
Everyone was also interested and started discussing. Even though Qu Xiuwen and Xue Kang'an were from Chaoxian, in terms of information, Yuntong County had a hundred Chaoxians.
Finally, everyone's eyes were focused on Yang Qian.
After a while, Yang Qian said calmly, "Actually, I plan to attend King Dong's birthday banquet."
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was in an uproar. Only Zhang Yumeng's eyes kept wandering.
She felt that if Yang Qian wanted to participate, he must be doing some mischief. This guy was against the country, the clan, the aristocratic family, and he would never be merciful if he could bring them to death.
"Yang Gan, we just cut off the messenger's ear. This man said that King Dong was his uncle. Aren't you afraid that you will die?" Krisna said worriedly.
Yang Gan scratched his head and said helplessly, "So, I'm just going to let you beat them up. It would be better for you to cut off their ears."
"Huh, rude man, he's lucky not to kill him." Krisna looked dissatisfied, her eyes flashing fiercely.
She is not an idiot. She has offended people anyway, so it would be more cost-effective to kill her.
"Forget it, let's leave it like this for now. It's almost winter anyway. If we start a fight now, we'll be asking for death."
Seeing that everyone's food tables were empty, the servants quickly removed everything.
Yang Gan stood up and came to the balcony, where the cold wind howled slightly.
Ancient warfare has always tried to avoid fighting in winter. Fighting on a snowy day is equivalent to dancing on a tightrope.
First, I was afraid that my march would be blocked.
Secondly, there is no cotton yet. Not only are the soldiers afraid of freezing to death, but they are also covered in stinky sweat after marching. If they stop for a moment, wind evil can easily enter the body.
The third and biggest difficulty is that logistical supplies in winter are very difficult. Not only do we need to provide food, but we also need expensive medicines and heating supplies.
"In two days, I'm going to go to the grassland to inspect the construction of the city."
"By the way, Lao Xia, when you go back, you can bring back a batch of wool sweaters. They were just produced this year. They are a specialty of the grassland."
King Xia Wen asked doubtfully, "A woolen sweater?"
In his mind, a group of Huns looked like beggars, wearing tattered woolen coats.
King Xia Wen shook his cheeks vigorously, shook his head hurriedly and said, "No need, the courtiers are not used to wearing Huns' fur coats."
