The not-so-big room was quiet and silent. Sitting on the soft sofa, Chen Hou felt uncomfortable all over. He didn't even have the heart to drink the tea in front of him. He had been sitting on his knees all these years. Where had he ever sat on such a "chair"? ?

He looked at the nose, nose and heart, and felt that everything here made him terrified.

Can an expert make this?

Those shelves that seem to be iron but not iron, the "cabinet" that can discharge water by itself, and the "lamp" that has no fire above the head, none of them seem to be human-powered.

Chen Hou was sitting on pins and needles, since he was brought here, he was the only one in the room, and he couldn't hear any movement or people outside.

The quietness made him feel flustered and at a loss as to what to do.

Since he succeeded to the throne, this is the first time he has left the royal city.

As the king of a country, he is the important weapon of the country, so he should not act rashly, so he appointed the prince before leaving the capital, and made preparations that he would not be able to go back.

After leaving the capital, he realized that he was just living in a dream of a prosperous age.

The people in the royal capital are all wealthy families, with domestic slaves and food reserves, which can be used by the children of the family to learn from teachers.

However, leaving the royal capital, the people are poor and destitute, guarding the fertile land but can’t eat enough, and the food officials are also miserable-there is no other country like them. It is obvious that the surplus food in the people’s homes has bottomed out, and the food officials have to come to the door to collect it forcibly Tax.

But Chen Hou has no other way, they can't beat it!They are not qualified to be tough.

The only way to keep the country of Chen is to be good at both sides and good at dancing with long sleeves.

Those big and powerful countries think that Chen Guo is obedient, so they will not attack Chen Guo. After all, although Chen Guo is rich in land, since they can get food with their hands, why send troops to fight?It is a waste of troops, not to mention that if it is defeated, it may not be able to increase production.

Zhao Guo attacked Lu Guo, and the food and grass were also sent by Chen Guo!

Chen Hou finally stretched out his hand to hold the tea bowl in front of him, he didn't drink it, he just quietly watched the tea leaves floating on the surface of the tea, and then sinking slowly.

Chen Guo also recruited talented people, but the scholars were unwilling to stay in Chen Guo for a long time. They all had an ambition to shock the world, and the small Chen Guo was not a place for them to display it.

Even the people of Chen Guo, someone once said that they would rather be a member of Zhao Guo than Chen Guo.

If the owner here is not a human being, he must ask the other party to come out of the mountain!

I don't know how long it took, after Chen Hou thought about everything he could think of, he finally heard the sound from the door, it was a very small "click" sound, like something precise turning.

Chen Hou subconsciously turned around, his body leaned back, he couldn't help trembling.

Soon, the door was opened.

With the slight shaking of the door frame, Chen Hou finally saw the owner here.

He didn't need to ask, he knew that this person must be the "master" who could give orders here.

The other party is very young, but in his weak years, just like the other men here, he has not grown long hair.

He is tall and tall, with clear eyes, striding like stars while walking, and a smile on the corner of his mouth, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.

Chen Hou let go of more than half of his defenses.

Chen Hou immediately stood up, raised his hands above his head, and saluted the young man in front of him: "Chen Ji, thank you benefactor for saving his life!"

He bowed deeply until the other party's voice sounded above his head: "You don't have to be polite, Marquis Chen, sit down."

He heard footsteps, and the other party had already walked past him, so Chen Hou stood up straight again and sat back in his original seat.

Looking at it this way, the other party seems to be younger.

Chen Hou looked at the other party, he opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

"You have a lot of questions." The young man held up the teacup with a smile, "But I can't answer you much. You just need to know that now that you are alive, so are your generals and soldiers."

The young man added: "You know, I like to collect precious treasures, and I like the Tianzi Sword very much."

Chen Hou understood immediately, and he tentatively said, "A master likes sharp swords?"

The young man shook his head slightly, Chen Hou saw him sitting on the soft chair with a leisurely posture, as if he had no bones, but it didn't make people feel that he was contemptuous, just that he was casual and natural, and this soft chair should sit like this.

But Chen Hou couldn't learn it, the chair still made him uncomfortable.

The young man smiled at him and shook his head again.

Chen Hou understood: "When I return to the royal capital, I will give all the treasures of the royal family to the master, in order to repay the master for saving his life."

Then he watched the smile on the young man's face widen.

Chen Hou breathed a sigh of relief, he was not afraid that the other party had plans, but that the other party had no plans.

"I have a question, I don't know if an expert can explain it?" Chen Hou put his posture extremely low, and he didn't look like a monarch of a country. Seeing that the other party was silent, he asked, "Although my country is rich in land, it is a gift from God." However, the soldiers and generals are few, and the people are struggling. I want to strengthen the country, but I can't do it..."

After Chen Hou finished speaking, he looked at the other party's face, but saw that the other party was abnormally calm, as if he didn't listen to his words.

Could it be that the other party is only good at organs and not in the world?

But these organs are beyond the power of manpower, who is this person?Or, is this person really human?

Chen Hou was taken aback by his thoughts, he looked at the tea bowl on the table in a panic.

Only then did he realize that this bowl was definitely not a pottery bowl, the surface was fine and smooth, and there was a cold light, before he started to use it, he felt a burst of coldness.

After an indeterminate amount of time, he heard the other party say: "It is by no means a one-time achievement to make a country strong. It takes several generations of Ming lords to strengthen it."

Chen Hou: "Although I dare not claim to be a wise king, I am willing to follow the example of the sages. In this life, I will be self-denying and diligent, and strengthen the country and secure the people."

Chen Hou stood up again and bowed deeply to the other party: "Please also teach me the master."

The man seemed to sigh: "Chen Hou sit down, teaching is not teaching, let me tell you a story."

The protagonist of this story is of course Qin.

Let's start with Shang Yang's reform.

"Slaves can also be officials?" Speaking of military merits, Chen Hou finally couldn't help asking, "If slaves become officials, the world will be in chaos!"

He couldn't believe it: "Take back the land of the public family and return it to the common people? If so, the country of Chen will be turned upside down immediately!"

The man laughed and said, "That's right, so when the new king came to the throne, he smashed Shang Yang in order to appease the princes."

Chen Hou couldn't help asking: "The method can be changed?"

The man shook his head: "No, although Shang Yang was torn apart by the car, Shang Yang's law has not been abolished."

Chen Hou: "Then why did Qin become stronger?"

The man nodded: "Qin is powerful because of this, and Qin soldiers are not afraid of the battlefield because of this. Everyone wants to make contributions."

Chen Hou was silent for a moment, and he took a deep breath: "Then the king of Qin is really a generation of wise kings."

Man: "His posthumous title is Duke Xiao."

"Don't talk about the military merits, just take back the land of the princes, I am afraid that Chen Guo will change a monarch immediately." Chen Hou said with a wry smile, "To tell you the truth, the land I have now is only Linzi. The next thing is to rely on the tribute from the noble family, how much they have, I don't know."

Chen Hou raised his head and found that the man looked at him with a little pity in his eyes, which made Chen Hou happy, and he immediately showed his weakness: "I don't know that the people of Chen Guo are living a difficult life now, guarding a large piece of fertile land without food. ,Ragged……"

As soon as he sniffed, although he wanted to show misery, but selling it, he really felt that he was miserable, the people were miserable, and Chen Guo was miserable. The more he talked, the more excited he became, and he actually cried.

The king of a country cried his nose and tears in front of Ye Zhou. Ye Zhou had no choice but to pass toilet paper to him first.

Chen Hou cried so much that he couldn't see anything clearly, and after taking the paper from Ye Zhou, he blew his nose.

Ye Zhou saw that he was going to take the paper from blowing his nose to wipe his tears again, so he quickly handed over several papers.

Now Ye Zhou can only wait for Chen Hou to cry enough.

Chen Hou cried for more than 20 minutes, and Ye Zhou didn't know how to persuade him during this period.

Finally, Chen Hou cried enough, he raised his head, Ye Zhou was almost amused by his red and swollen eyes, he quickly turned serious, and covered his face, Chen Hou said in a crying voice: "Admiral, if I follow suit, I don't know how to do it." Does anyone have a plan?"

There was Shang Yang in the state of Qin, and the public hated him. Although they might also hate Xiaogong, as long as there was the former, the public would think that killing Shang Yang would make Xiaogong change his mind.

But he doesn't have Shang Yang, if he goes back and uses Shang Yang's method, his father's family, and even his mother's family, will turn against him.

I'm afraid that at that time, his young son will really become the king of Chen Guo.

Ye Zhou: "If you want to follow suit, you must first hold the military power in your own hands. The people in the palace must follow your lead. Is there anyone in your family who hoards troops privately?"

Chen Hou sniffed: "Yes, but I don't know the real number, they keep it a secret."

He knew that Shang Yang's method was a good one. If it could be implemented, it might really make Chen Guo strong.

But the better the method, the greater the resistance. He was afraid that he would be murdered by his relatives before he could make Chen Guoqiang.

Ye Zhou: "..."

It seems that this monarch is a bit miserable.

Ye Zhou thought that there was not much difference between the monarchs of this era and the emperors of the feudal era, but it turned out that the difference was simply the difference between Xiaotupo and the Himalayas.

According to Chen Hou, the only place he can govern is actually the royal city, and only this city will directly pay taxes to him.

Moreover, this tax does not belong to him. After all, Chen Guo also needs to raise soldiers, and the food, grass and military salary of the soldiers must be paid from this tax.

The rest of Chen State is either the public clan—that is, the fiefdoms of other members of the royal family.

Either it is under the jurisdiction of the aristocratic family, and the aristocratic family is huge. Chen Hou doesn't know how much the tax they report to Chen Hou every year is different from the real tax.

Although it is a country, it is not close.

This is probably the disadvantage of the family world, the royal power is shared with the whole family, and the monarch is just the person sitting on the seat, not the real lord of a country.

Ye Zhou tapped his finger on the desktop: "Why don't we start with military achievements?"

"Get rid of slaves first, it is only valid for civilians and military households."

Chen Hou, who was crying like hell just now, held the paper he used to blow his nose, raised his head and asked Ye Zhou: "Master, what is this thing? It's actually lighter than a silk book, but it's so fragile."

Ye Zhou remembered that Chen Hou and the others probably don't have pens and paper, only wooden tablets and bamboo slips and carving knives.

Ye Zhou explained: "This is paper, not silk. It is made of grass and trees."

Chen Hou raised his head in a daze and asked, "Master, this paper can only be made so thin?"

Ye Zhou shook his head. He walked to the cabinet, took out an unwritten notepad from it, and then turned around and handed it to Chen Hou: "It's just thicker."

The supermarket also sells rice paper, but Ye Zhou is too lazy to get it now.

Chen Hou touched the pages of the book with trembling fingers, and asked softly: "Dare to ask the master, who made this paper?"

Ye Zhou sat down again: "Cai Lun."

Chen Hou raised his head and asked frantically, "I don't know where this person is?! Such a skilled craftsman, I, Chen Guo, will treat him with national courtesy!"

Ye Zhou: "This person is not here, not in this world."

Chen Hou looked regretful: "Is he no longer alive?"

"And this tea bowl." Chen Hou asked again, "I don't know what it is made of, it doesn't look like pottery."

Ye Zhou could only return: "It's also from the same vein as pottery. This is porcelain, also known as ceramics."

Chen Hou: "I don't know this table and chair..."

Ye Zhou got a little impatient when he was asked, but he still said patiently: "The tabletop is made of glass, mainly made of graystone shells, and needs to be forged at high temperature."

Chen Hou: "The shelf outside, I don't think it looks like iron, but I don't know what it is..."

Ye Zhou: "That's a steel frame."

Chen Hou's eyes lit up: "I don't know what steel is?"

……

Ye Zhou explained that his mouth was dry, and he had already downed two cups of tea. Chen Hou was like a curious baby, walking for a hundred thousand reasons. Ye Zhou had already started to feel dizzy just by explaining. With a smile on his face, he answered calmly.

Finally, Chen Hou asked all the questions he wanted to ask for the time being. Although he couldn't understand Ye Zhou's words, he knew that these things were made by manpower, and he said to Ye Zhou contentedly: "Thank you, master! Pointing out, a high-level person is noble and pure, without any secrets, cum admiration."

Ye Zhou: "Now it's snowing constantly outside, I'm afraid you will have to stay here for a while, if you want anything, just tell the people here."

It was only then that Chen Hou remembered why he was crying before, and he immediately leaned over, grabbed Ye Zhou's hand, and tightly clasped Ye Zhou's hand in his own sign language, and asked with piercing eyes: "Master, what are you doing?" Is it possible to come out of the mountain? I will reward you with the position of Prime Minister, as long as the expert is willing to help me strengthen the country, I will rule the country of Chen together with the expert!"

Ye Zhou: "..."

Xiangguo?Seems like a very high official?

Ye Zhou shook his head slightly: "I won't leave here, let alone go out of the mountain."

Chen Hou was taken aback, and he asked softly, "Why?"

Now Ye Zhou has a headache when he hears the words "I don't know" and "Why". He thinks that Chen Hou who is unconscious is the good Chen Hou.

Ye Zhou smiled at Chen Hou and said, "This kind of reason cannot be known to others, Chen Hou just needs to stay at ease."

Really didn't want to talk to Chen Hou any more, so Ye Zhou got up and opened the door of the lounge, and made a gesture of invitation.

Chen Hou understood what Ye Zhou meant, but he didn't want to leave. He looked at Ye Zhou with longing eyes. His steps were so small that they couldn't be regarded as walking, but could only be regarded as moving. He moved in front of Ye Zhou. His eyes were affectionate: "Sir, think about it carefully, if you go down the mountain, Chen Guo will also be your Chen Guo."

Ye Zhou can't wait to ask Chen Hou, are you so generous?We've only spoken a few words, and you're about to rule the Kingdom of Chen with me?

Am I too stingy, or are you Warring States kings too generous?

But Ye Zhou didn't ask. He watched Chen Hou leave the lounge, and then closed the door mercilessly under the other's reluctant eyes.

Finally sent this curious baby away.

Leaning his back against the wall, Ye Zhou let out a long breath of relief.

·

Chen Hou only felt that he had cried a lot, and he became energetic. Since no one stopped him from walking here, he felt around, and found everything strange, and sighed while looking: "So many strange things. A rare treasure, I fear it will be rare to see it again in the world.”

He walked around the shelf a few times, saw someone passing by, and immediately went up.

But seeing that it was a tall and slender woman with an extraordinary appearance, Chen Hou did not approach directly, but kept a distance, and asked quite politely: "Dare to ask this girl, what is this thing?"

Holding a children's toy in his hand, he asked curiously.

Chen Shu looked at Chen Hou as if he was looking at a monster.

She already knew from Cao'er that this man was a genius for asking questions, and she was impatient with dealing with this kind of person, so she quickly said: "I still have something to do, if you have any questions, go and ask him."

As he spoke, he pointed to Zou Ming who was receiving water.

"He knows everything, you go and ask him." Then Chen Shu ran away in a hurry.

Although Chen Hou felt that the other party's attitude was strange, he was not angry. Anyway, when the monarchs of various countries met before, anyone could show him face. If he was angry at other people's attitude, he would have died of anger many times.

So he walked in the direction pointed by the other party, stopped in front of the other party, and slightly cupped his hands: "This little brother, dare to ask what is this thing? What is the use?"

Zou Ming didn't know how capable Chen Hou was to ask questions, so he glanced at the things in Chen Hou's hand: "Children's mobile phones can only play music."

Chen Hou continued to ask: "Can this thing transmit sound?"

Zou Ming: "No, the music can only be played after the battery is installed."

Chen Hou tilted his head slightly: "What is the battery?"

Zou Ming: "..."

He didn't know how to explain it clearly, but looking at Chen Hou's eyes full of longing, Zou Ming tried his best to tell him in words he could understand.

After Chen Hou asked about the battery, he asked about the shell of the toy: "I don't know what it's made of, it doesn't look like anything I know."

Zou Ming explained plastic to him again.

Although Chen Hou still didn't quite understand, seeing Zou Ming explaining to him so earnestly, he felt that the other party was very amiable, so he asked: "I don't know my name, but I am the king of Chen Guo, Chen Ji."

Zou Ming had no expression on his face. He really wanted to kick this man out of the supermarket gate and let him fend for himself, but he still replied, "Zou Ming."

Chen Hou: "I don't know if there are words?"

Zou Ming: "No."

Zou Ming frowned: "I still have something to do, if you have any questions, you can ask others."

After finishing speaking, Zou Ming didn't give Chen Houwan a chance to stay, and strode away.

Soon, everyone in the supermarket was annoyed by Chen Hou, only the children didn't think he was annoying, but the children couldn't answer his questions either—they didn't even half understand it themselves.

Chen Hou was holding a child in his arms. He looked around and found no adults around before he asked the child in a low voice: "Let me ask you, which country are you from? If you answer me, I will give you something nice."

The child rolled his eyes: "What good thing?"

Chen Hou took out a jade hairpin from his bosom: "This thing is worth a hundred gold, I will give it to you."

The child glanced at Chen Hou, probably thinking that Chen Hou would not deceive him, so he said: "I am from the Liang Dynasty, but this is what my parents said, and I don't remember it myself."

Chen Hou was taken aback: "Da Liang Dynasty?"

"Then who is your king?"

He only thought that the child's accent was too strong, and he had misheard himself.

Child: "What is a monarch? An emperor? I don't know who the emperor is."

Chen Hou frowned slightly: "Emperor? Three emperors and five emperors?"

The child just learned this, and he nodded: "That's right, after the first emperor unified the six kingdoms, he stopped calling himself king and changed his name to emperor."

"The meaning seems to be, it seems to be, the merits and demerits of the three emperors, and the virtues of the five emperors."

Chen Hou murmured: "The Emperor..."

Chen Hou looked down at this child. This child was not like Chen, but he was not like Lu or Zheng either.

Chen Hou finally sorted out what was in his mind, he rubbed the child's head, put the child on the ground with a smile, and solemnly handed the jade hairpin into the child's hand, and said softly: "Go, go Play with your mates."

Watching the child run away, Chen Houcai finally returned to the tent along the way he came.

Originally, Chen Yan was still able to hold on, but seeing his own king waking up, he developed a high fever and lingered on the sick bed. Fortunately, he was taken care of by a doctor. Although he still can't get out of bed, he can already open his eyes and drink porridge.

When Chen Hou came back, he happened to see Feng Ling feeding porridge to Chen Yan.

Chen Yan was so fed that his face was flushed, and when he saw Chen Hou coming back, he immediately begged in a low voice: "Miss, please put the porridge aside, I have regained some strength and can eat by myself."

Feng Ling didn't say anything when she heard the words, she put the bowl aside and walked out, and she nodded slightly when she passed by Chen Hou.

Chen Hou also hurriedly turned sideways and returned his movements.

Seeing Feng Ling leave, Chen Hou sat beside Chen Yan after walking away.

The two looked at each other speechlessly, and Chen Yan coughed lightly: "Your Majesty... what did you find?"

Chen Hou nodded slightly, and said in a low voice, "I already know where this place is, and who is the owner here."

Chen Yan's eyes widened, and he struggled to sit up straight. He lowered his voice and asked in a low voice, "Where is this place? Who is the owner of this place? Your Majesty, please don't let it pass you by."

Chen Hou said softly: "This must be a fairy palace, and the owner here must be a fairy! It is definitely not some otherworldly expert."

Chen Yan choked for breath: "How does Your Majesty know?"

Chen Hou: "I met the owner here, and he told me a story. If he fabricated the Qin Kingdom in the story, how could he fabricate it so tightly? What's more, although he looks young, he is not rash. There are things, and people are friendly, without arrogance and coquettishness."

"I invited him out of the mountain as the prime minister, but he said he couldn't leave this place. There must be some reason for the bitter cold here."

"What's more, I asked the child here, and he said that he was a citizen of the Daliang Dynasty. There was no monarch in the Daliang Dynasty, only the emperor."

"How can a child make up the word emperor? Can he also say that the three emperors are better than the three emperors, and the five emperors are high in virtue?"

"After all these things, I thought that this place is a fairy land, and this house is a fairy house."

Chen Hou's eyes brightened: "Brother Yan! You are right, the road has turned around, and this is indeed my opportunity for Chen Guo!"

"I will treat the immortal as my own father, and serve him carefully, so that he can give me the law to strengthen my country!"
