As soon as the Yulong Newspaper came out, the whole country rushed to buy it.

People were talking about it.

"This female ghost is so scary."

"Sinister and cunning, a seducing evil spirit."

"The key is that someone wants to summon her soul. This is the most terrifying thing."

"Soul summoning array, death seeking array!"

Ordinary people will happily treat the stories in the supplement as just stories, but politicians will never treat them as simple stories.

Space in the Yulong Newspaper is very valuable. I heard that a short article in the "Life Section" that contains a soft advertisement for private goods can be sold at a price of one hundred taels per word. How is it possible to use an entire page to tell a strange story?

The Yulong Newspaper was not only sought after by the people of Yulong, but also by people from other countries. The reason was that the newspaper contained Yulong Country's latest policies and news, and they could get a lot of information from the newspaper.

Merchants can obtain business information to ensure they get the first chance to make money.

Politicians can obtain political information and ensure that they develop along with the Yulong Kingdom instead of being targeted by the Yulong Kingdom.

For example, regarding this issue’s supplement, people from other countries may not know about it, but people from Xiandou, Pyu, Nanzhao, Tubo, and Dongli understand it.

That is not a strange story at all, it is about their spirit-summoning formation.

The other four countries all felt that they had been fooled that spies were so rampant in their own country.

All of a sudden, various countries launched a campaign to destroy the soul formation.

Dongli Kingdom.

The emperor looked unhappy. Almost all the secret agents that they had planted in other countries after generations of hard work were pulled out.

Originally, Pyu was already in their grasp, and even the first batch of "immigrants" successfully arrived in Pyu territory and settled there. However, before they could even warm up their nest, they were all killed by that little girl from the Queen's Empire.

"Queen Jiang, are you really that bold? How dare you become an enemy of our Dongli Kingdom?"

Jiang is the surname of the Queen's empire.

The Queen's Empire's territory is not as large as Dongli's, and the entire country has a population of only 10 million. Yet, they led 100,000 soldiers to the Pyu Kingdom and killed all of Dongli's advance troops! !

"Your Majesty, Empress Jiang was originally a female doctor beside His Majesty An. Not only is she an expert in poison techniques, but she also has mastered new weapons." Prime Minister Dongli said, "We can't defeat her."

Yeah, I can’t beat it!!

Emperor Dongli was so angry that his eyes were about to pop out: "Is Emperor An crazy? How could he tell the secret of the new weapon to a foreign queen?"

Shuxia Sanjo said at the right time: "That new weapon is even more powerful than what is recorded in our secret history. The weapons of our ancestors can only burn the enemy, but their weapons can kill people with explosions."

"The ancestor's skills must have improved!" Songxia said, "Yulong's weapons were brought by Emperor Chen. Although he doesn't know us, the skills he knows are more terrifying than those recorded in history."

"If the ancestor comes back, the Queen's Empire and the Pyu Kingdom will be vulnerable!"

The ministers said excitedly.

Everyone said the same thing, and the crowd was excited: Please come in, ancestor, please come in, ancestor!

Emperor Dongli frowned and said, "But the ancestor is already the greatest emperor of Tiansheng Continent. Does he want to return to Dongli?"

Yes, what they want is for their ancestors to come back and help them conquer the world.

But now, the "ancestor" has a wife and children, and his status is far higher than that of Emperor Dongli. Can he become an adviser to Emperor Dongli?

This is just bullshit.

If we insist on welcoming the ancestor back, then there will be only one result: Emperor Chen will be the boss, and Emperor Dongli will abdicate.

The Shuxia family can only be a king of a different surname at best!!

No, how could the Shuxia family abdicate and let the wise man take over? Even the ancestor couldn't do that.

He is the ancestor, but not the ancestor of his family under the tree.

Matsushita Ichijo and Jurashita Sanjo suddenly thought of this and shut up.

A gust of sea breeze blew through the court, and the enthusiasm of all the civil and military officials for the ancestor suddenly subsided.

The ancestor has been found, but how should we place him?

Originally, they all just thought that the ancestor was a woman, and as long as she was willing to work for Dongli to unify the world, she could be crowned king, appointed prime minister, and become the ancestor, and she could choose whatever she wanted.

But he never thought about what would happen to the Shuxia family if the other party wanted the throne?

"Tie the old man here?" The three people under the tree said cautiously, "Now if we don't tie him here, there is no other way."

"He has a powerful weapon." someone suggested.

"He can't possibly carry new weapons with him. If we act fast enough, we can tie him up."

As long as we tie him up and ask him to offer his skills, we can keep him supported forever.

Emperor Dongli did not think that this was disrespectful to the "ancestor". They had done so much work, planted secret spies for generations, and so many good men had died in the Pyu Kingdom. What if the ancestor sacrificed himself?

It was decided to send Matsushita as the leader of a team to request exchanges with Yuanji Living Buddha.

At the same time, he followed the top killer to Dongli, preparing to knock Emperor Chen unconscious and tie him back.

Various details of Dongli Kingdom were discussed.

After discussion, the credentials were delivered.

In March of the fourth year of Yulong, Zhou Shaoyu looked at the application of Dongli Kingdom to come to Yulong Kingdom for Buddhist exchanges, and he wrote: Living Buddha Yuanji has gone on a journey and will not accept any visits!

Emperor Dongli:......

Panasonic was also dumbfounded. No, you are busy, can't you arrange for someone else to receive the reception?

Therefore, the King of Dongli sent another letter, hoping to arrange a match between the Dongli Go national players and the Yulong masters.

Yulong replied: Sure, which city in your country?

Emperor Dongli was so angry that he threw the memorial on the table. "We have nothing better to do than to invite you to compete? And we also need to entertain your chess players?"

Another month later, the letter from the Kingdom of Dongli arrived again, and this time it made no secret of the fact that: We would like to visit and study in your country.

This time I reply...I haven’t replied for a long time!

Zhou Shaoyu and Xie Zhaozhao were really busy, and all the officials in the court were also very busy.

The profits created by the reform and opening up of trade in Changhe Town, Lizhou, within one year, were higher than the income generated in the previous two years of Daqian.

The people of Lizhou are extremely rich, each living in a brick and tile house, and they have enough food and clothing and live a comfortable life.

Therefore, the court decided to open up five more states.

There is a lot of construction going on in Yulong Kingdom.

Busy, very busy, extremely busy.

I don't have time to deal with Dongli Kingdom.

The Yulong Newspaper now has an issue every three days, and the Yulong Newspaper Life Edition has been separated from the Yulong Newspaper to form an independent branch of the newspaper, headed by Zhang Yanyan.

On the day the branch was established, Xie Zhaozhao visited the newspaper office. He was very pleased to see Zhang Yanyan in high spirits and more than a hundred female editors.

The imperial decree was issued on the spot:

"The Ning Wangfei is appointed as the deputy editor-in-chief of Yulong Newspaper and editor-in-chief of Life Magazine, a fourth-rank official. All female editors of the newspaper are to be employed as court ladies in accordance with regulations."

This is the highlight moment for the female officials of Yulong Kingdom.

As long as the editors of a newspaper passed the examination, they could hold official positions ranging from seventh to fourth rank, and like all officials in other departments of the court, they had salaries and ranks.

The status of women in Yulong Kingdom has risen rapidly.

Girls are no longer "money-losing goods". Poor families are working hard to support their daughters' education, and this is also a way for a family to change their destiny.

After all, there are still only a few women who study, and if their academic performance is good, their chances of becoming an official in the court are higher than men. Not only will they get better treatment, but they can also marry into a good family.

Xie Zhaozhao was very excited when she returned to the palace from the newspaper office. However, as soon as she entered the palace gate, she suddenly felt dizzy and fainted.

Yuanyuanman was so scared that she quickly called the imperial physician.

Zhou Shaoyu was discussing matters with the officials in the court, and Xiu Ning hurriedly whispered something to Zhou Shaoyu.

"I have an urgent matter, Zuo Xiang, please take charge."

His Majesty the Emperor ran away in a hurry.

When he arrived at the bedroom, he saw the imperial doctors taking turns taking his pulse.

He came in with a very unhappy look on his face. He did not disturb the imperial physician, but just sat beside her, frowning as he watched the imperial physician take her pulse.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty. Your Majesty Emperor An is pregnant again."

Several imperial physicians gave good news.

"reward!"

Zhou Shaoyu was overjoyed, and Xie Zhaozhao was also very happy. Xiao Heng'er was already four and a half years old, and the couple had their second child. If everything went well, the baby would be born at the end of the year, and the two children would be exactly four years apart in age.

However, the fetus was unstable in the third month of pregnancy, so she kept a low profile and did not announce it to the public.

Therefore, only the imperial doctors and the servants in the palace were rewarded, and the news was blocked.

Now that the world is at peace and Zhou Shaoyu is in charge of the court, Xie Zhaozhao wants to take a break.

The next morning, she announced in the court: "Peace reigns throughout the country, and there are few wars. I will not hold court early for the time being."

As soon as she said this, the generals became a little anxious.

In the court, the military generals were already suppressed by the civil officials. If Emperor An did not attend court, would they be squeezed out of the court?

Xie Zhaozhao looked at them anxiously and said, "Although I won't attend the morning court, I have two important things to do."

She wanted to establish a comprehensive investigation department, headed by Zhou Lingyin, to conduct an accurate survey and census of the Yulong Kingdom's territory and population.

She had to get an accurate map of how big the territory was, especially since she was in charge of the territory.

We must also know the current population of Yulong Kingdom and the financial situation of people's families.

In recent years, the Yulong Kingdom has been focusing on developing its economy, and its national strength has become increasingly stronger. Wars have decreased, and the people have been able to rest and recuperate, and the population has increased exponentially.

Originally, the total population of Daqian was only 35 million. After the establishment of Yulong Kingdom, the population quickly grew to about 80 million.

Zhou Lingyin served as the Minister of General Affairs, a second-rank official.

A part of people was selected from the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Revenue to join the General Affairs Department.

The Comprehensive Survey Department has two responsibilities. First, to conduct a population census and classify the population by gender, old and young; at the same time, it also conducts a survey on houses and properties.

Knowing how many people you have, what proportions they hold, how much property you have, you can also have a clear idea of ​​how to deal with war and disaster relief.

Second, make detailed survey records of the territory and draw an accurate territory map.

Neither of these tasks can be accomplished overnight.

When Zhou Lingyin's appointment letter came out, Prince Kang, his wife, and Princess Qi (Princess Changping) all went to the palace to express their gratitude.

There was no other reason. When the Yulong Kingdom annexed Daqian, Prince Jing, at the instruction of Emperor Hui, took advantage of the relationship between the Princess of Qi (Princess Changping) and Xie Zhaozhao as the sister-in-law and sent people to assassinate Xie Zhaozhao twice.

In a rage, Xie Zhaozhao eliminated Prince Jing's forces and put him in jail.

The monopoly of the canal transportation by Prince Jing’s Mansion was revoked, and the fleet of Prince Jing’s Mansion was not allowed to launch on the canal, and no official pilots were issued for going out to sea.

Prince Jing was not released until Emperor Hui was on his deathbed, and he was forced to hear the confession of "Princess Yurong" with his own ears, which angered the deposed Crown Prince Zhou Jingrui and Emperor Hui to death.

Prince Jing held the empty title of prince, guarding a bunch of ships basking in the sun, without any official duties, and lived a hard life.

Zhou Shaoyu is a staunch wife slave, and Prince Jing's family is just left alone.

Zhou Lingyin felt ashamed, so he asked Li Yunmu to mediate and applied to Xie Zhaozhao for permission to go out to sea for exploration. Xie Zhaozhao agreed to let him take five large ships out to sea because of the friendship they had when they cooperated in Qingyuan Teahouse.

At the same time, Yunyang and Yunhe were sent on the journey. After more than two years of sailing on the sea, they returned with extremely generous rewards for the court.

When people are in high positions, their minds tend to be more open. Zhou Lingyin submitted sincerely to her, so she set up a department for him that had never existed in history and appointed him as a second-rank minister.

It can be considered a reconciliation with Prince Jing's Mansion.

Xie Zhaozhao withdrew from the court in order to take care of her pregnancy, but in the eyes of people who were not in the know, this was an extremely serious event.

"Reporting to His Majesty, Emperor An of Yulong State has been squeezed out of the court, and now Emperor An has become a concubine in the harem."

"Your Majesty, we have found out that Emperor Chen had died in Jiangnan on the Dragon Boat Festival six years ago when he was still the third son of the Gu family. The current Emperor Chen has returned to life through a corpse. He is indeed our ancestor!"

The spies from Dongli Kingdom reported to the King of Dongli.

Emperor Dongli is even more sinister. He has worked hard for hundreds of years to summon the soul, but what he summoned is not the original ancestor, but an ambitious ghost from another world, right?

Kidnapping? You can't even enter the Yulong border!

Invite? It's easy to invite gods but hard to send them away!

Where should they go from here?
