"I, our Xia Kingdom, is it possible that we only have such a small territory?"
Shi Yuanji was a little confused. The maps that your Majesty usually showed to everyone belonged to the Xia Kingdom, which meant the entire Central Plains.
Now in the entire map, the Central Plains is just a relatively ordinary place. Outside the Central Plains, there are still large tracts of land.
The moment Yang Qian turned around, his eyes were as bright as stars, like a hammer hitting Shi Yuanji hard.
What a vision this was, Shi Yuanji felt that even if he spent his whole life working hard, he would still not be able to reach the height of Junshang.
Arriving in front of Shi Yuanji, Yang Gan looked at him curiously and circled three times in a row.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, if you are not fighting, you are raising people. People are so fat. Old Shi, can you still ride a horse?"
Shi Yuanji touched his nose awkwardly, not knowing how to answer this.
But Yang Qian's temper got worse.
Seeing Shi Yuanji's appearance, Yang Qian became furious and patted his stomach hard.
"You ask me to tell you what you're good at. Aren't our Xia women pretty? We're looking for Hun women instead."
Shi Yuanji felt pain immediately, holding his stomach and feeling overwhelmed. Although his stomach was full of fat, these few palms from the king were like hitting a cow from across the mountain, reaching the stomach with one palm.
Shi Yuanji knelt on the ground with a face of pain and begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you once said that if someone wants to marry a Hun woman, as long as there is no problem with the Hun woman, then you will do your best to facilitate it."
Yang Gan sneered and said, "Hun women are wild and untamable after all. According to the Huns' rules, women are just goods for trading, but some women in high positions hold power and are good at calculations."
"Not being naturalized is always a scourge. The education, culture, and customs they received since childhood are completely different from those of the Central Plains. If they rashly integrate into the hinterland of Daxia, they will always be a hidden danger."
"That's why you want to be naturalized. It's a good idea for you to find four Hun women. They are all former nobles. To put it bluntly, their thoughts are deeper than yours. Moreover, all four Hun women have not been naturalized. education.”
The more Yang Qian talked, the angrier he became and couldn't help but give Shi Yuanji a kick.
"You are such a pig, you really piss me off."
"You didn't feel anything was wrong. Did these four women submit to any of your requests? Moreover, the four of them seemed to have no conflicts at all."
Seeing Shi Yuanji holding his stomach and thinking deeply, Yang Qian said, "Since ancient times, there has been a kind of wind that is the most deadly to people. Do you know what it is?"
Shi Yuanji said blankly, "Armor-removing wind?"
Yang Qian said with deep approval, "It's more powerful than the armor-removing wind."
Shi Yuanji couldn't help but widen his eyes. "Is there anything more powerful than the armor-removing wind? Could it be a waterspout?"
"Ada~~~!"
Yang Qian flew up and kicked Shi Yuanji out.
"What the hell, you have such a stupid brain."
"The most powerful wind, more powerful than a waterspout, is the pillow wind."
Yang Qian grabbed Shi Yuanji's collar and said viciously, "Four women are performing a show, talking in your ears every day, and you don't feel anything?"
"Now, go back to your camp right away, reflect on it for me, and then give me a report."
Shi Yuanji felt like he was being pardoned and ran outside quickly. When he got outside, he realized that his whole back was soaked with sweat.
Although he ran out, he was still uneasy. At this time, Ran Jing came out, leaned on the railing, and smiled.
"What? Are you so scared?"
Shi Yuanji looked at the visitor, smiled bitterly and said, "General Ran, this, Your Majesty's aura is so terrifying, it scares me to death."
"I, I just played with a few Hun women. Your Majesty asked me to reflect on it. What should I do? Will it give you a bad impression?"
Shi Yuanji was terrified. He was not an ambitious person. He always liked to be content with the status quo. If he had ambitions, he might not be in this position long ago.
Seeing Ran Jing's half-smiling look, Shi Yuanji knelt down on one knee.
"General Ran, help."
Ran Jing sneered, "You are so courageous, you dare to touch an unnaturalized Hun woman privately."
Ran Jing bent down and said, "Once these women trap you in Wenrou Township, let's make a conspiracy. Not to mention that all the slaves are quietly released, even if 10% of the slaves are released, it will be a catastrophe for us, Yuntong."
"When the time comes, let alone killing you once, even if I kill you ten thousand times, you will still be responsible."
Hearing such remarks, Shi Yuanji was so frightened that he fell to his knees and kept kowtowing.
"General Ran, can you save General Mo's life?"
Ran Jing frowned and helped him up, sighing deeply and saying, "You always like to stay in a corner."
"But, since you hold an important position, you must do your job well."
"Your Majesty is a nostalgic person. If I really want your head, do you think you will survive today?"
Shi Yuanji's eyes suddenly lit up, like a traveler in the desert who saw an oasis.
"Please give me some instructions, General Ran."
Ran Jing smiled and said, "If I were in your position, first of all, I would do some self-examination and see if these four Huns women really have bad intentions. If not, then of course I would be generous and there would be no need to hide." .”
"Second: You have more than 800,000 slaves, which shows how much your Majesty values you. We, Yuntong, have developed so rapidly. It can be said that other counties cannot develop as fast as we do in one year, even if they take decades."
"So, slaves are the key. If I were you, let's decentralize power, such as management by a hundred people, management by a thousand people, management by ten thousand people, management by a hundred thousand people. In this way, we can avoid suspicion and minimize hidden dangers. .”
Ran Jing paused, then smiled and said, "As for the third question: should you lose weight? When I saw you before, General Shi was quite tall. Now, look at you, what do you look like?"
"Your Majesty, you started out as a martial artist. If you were fat, others wouldn't say anything. But now you have trouble even mounting a horse. What can I say about you?"
After being told by Ran Jing, Shi Yuanji suddenly felt happy. It turned out that it wasn't that the emperor didn't trust him, but that the things he carried were more important than he thought. If he valued himself so much, he could never hold the emperor back.
When he thought about the seven or eight million slaves losing control, Shi Yuanji was sweating profusely and panicking.
At this time, two people carrying medicine boxes came from not far away and said, "Hello."
"See General Ran, General Shi."
Ran Jingqi asked, "Are you from the Medical Department of Xinhuo Academy?"
One of the middle-aged men smiled and said, "That's right, I'm here to take Sir Shi's pulse on your orders."
After saying that, before the two of them could react, he took Shi Yuanji's arm and started diagnosis and treatment.
The two looked at each other in surprise, and both saw a hint of doubt in each other's eyes.
After a long time, the doctor stroked his beard and nodded, "Does General Shi like greasy food and sweets?"
Shi Yuanji nodded and said, "What the doctor said is true, but I used to like eating it, and it didn't seem to have any impact on my body."
The doctor smiled and said, "General Shi doesn't know something. You used to like to eat because you often exercised your body and practiced martial arts, so this way of eating has no effect on you at all."
"This is now. It seems that you haven't exercised your body or practiced martial arts for a long time, so you have become obese. If you keep it for a long time, you might get diabetes."
Shi Yuanji was shocked. He knew the disease, and it was a disease of wealth and wealth, which was very troublesome.
"Doctor, is there anything you can do?"
The doctor smiled and said, "Simple."
After saying that, the medicine boy next to him opened the medicine box and lifted it left and right, turning it into a small table with high legs.
The doctor splashed ink on the small table, and after a while, a prescription was handed to Shi Yuanji's hand.
"General Shi, you only need to take this medicine for ten days. As for what you eat, you don't have to eat too much. You just need to exercise more and practice martial arts more. If you continue like this, you may not live long. Even if you live for a long time, you will not be able to survive." It’s uncomfortable to live.”
Shi Yuanji immediately handed over
"Thank you, doctor."
After the doctor packed up his things, he left without looking back, and a word came from afar.
"If you want to thank me, thank you. Otherwise, who would have traveled several miles to check your pulse at this late hour?"
Shi Yuanji's eyes suddenly turned red. He didn't expect that the Lord would care about him so much.
Your Majesty once said, don’t look at what others say, no matter how beautiful they say, you should look at how they do it.
Words and expressions can deceive people, but the results of actions cannot deceive people.
Shi Yuanji received your concern.
After bidding farewell to Ran Jing, he just rode a horse and led his soldiers towards the slave camp in the distance.
Ran Jing came to Yang Gan and said, "Your Majesty, I have already told Shi Yuanji."
At this time, the fifth floor had been cleared, and Yang Qian was sitting on the sofa, with his legs crossed and a cigarette between his fingers, looking happy.
Yang Gan nodded.
"Yes, Shi Yuanji has never had second thoughts about me, and his position is very important. Once problems arise, we will be passive."
Ran Jing frowned and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you let Gu Weiqi and Jing Huai handle this matter?"
Yang Gan shook his head and said, "The number of people in the slave camp will only increase. Then it will not be a problem of management. Even if tens of thousands of people die, I won't feel bad."
"For people in this position, whether they can manage well or not is secondary. The most important thing is that they have no ambition."
"If you are too ambitious, more than 800,000 slaves, not to mention equipped with swords and guns, even armed with wooden sticks, will be a big disaster."
For Yang Gan, the more than 800,000 slaves who had their military morale taken away could not cause any big disturbance at all, and tens of thousands of cavalry were enough to defeat them.
However, after defeating them, who will do the work? While there are slaves now, why don’t you enjoy a wave of infrastructure benefits?
To be honest, the corvee thing must be eliminated sooner or later. As I said, if you have food and drink, plus the pacifier theory, who will rebel?
Even if they rebel, only a few people will. Even if they rebel, where will they find soldiers?
We all have a family business and our own preferences, so why should we rebel with a few strangers?
On the contrary, at that time, if someone wants to destroy such a life, the people of Guizhou will be the first to refuse.
