When I saw the health bar, I chose to blow up the world

It takes a certain amount of time for the big tripod to cook food, so the courtiers gathered in the tent chatted about some national policies.

Zhou Yuan's status as a good family member of the common people to the leader of Xinyuan has become one of the topics.

The Emperor of Wei also took the opportunity to ask some questions he wanted to know.

"Zhou Yuan, you have made a living in the countryside, so you should know the lives of the people in the countryside very well.

I wonder if the people in our villages and towns in Dawei are safe and peaceful and have enough food and drink? "

This question is very similar to what Prince Qi asked during the Xinyuan Spiritual Examination, "How is the military and administration of Qizhou and whether the people's lives are peaceful?"

But Zhou Yuan was not a son of a famous family like Cui Hong, and the situation in villages and towns was not as sensitive as the military and political affairs of various states.

Therefore, he did not shy away from the hard work of the rural people, but chose to speak out.

"Your Majesty, I was born in Qiaoxi Village. When I grew up, I entered the Jing'an Military Camp. Due to my military merits, I moved to the Huaizhou Camp and went to Beijing to take the imperial examination.

Therefore, what we see is a narrow view of the area and what we say may be biased. "

"But the Qiaoxi village where I live is really poor. I often eat rhubarb rice to satisfy my hunger, but I can't get enough.

When a family has a funeral, they also need the help of their neighbors to make the arrangements. "

Zhou Yuan's answer did not exceed the Wei emperor's expectations. He had many spies under his command and would not blindly believe that the Wei Dynasty was rich and prosperous.

The reason why he asked this question was because he wanted to see if Zhou Yuan was sincere.

The second is to use Zhou Yuan's mouth to tell the governors of various states that although the national power of the Wei Dynasty is prosperous, there is also room for improvement in local areas.

"Why is this so? But the land west of the bridge is barren and the people's harvest is not good."

"Your Majesty, that's not the case. Qiaoxi Village is built next to the Qingsha River, with abundant water resources and fertile land.

The reason for poverty is due to the large amount of taxes and exploitation by officials in the county. "

“There are a lot of taxes, which is an interesting statement.

Gentlemen, please listen, there are people helping us collect taxes, but we, the Wei Dynasty, have to live off the taxes of the people. "

The Wei Dynasty was not a feudal state in the traditional sense, but a centralized dynasty with abundant supplies.

What they lacked was only spiritual treasures, not all kinds of ordinary materials.

Therefore, the taxes in the Wei court were not heavy, with only two types: land tax and business tax.

“Your Majesty, calm down, this is the result of the corruption of the human heart.

If we want to correct this trend, we can only appoint spies from time to time to investigate and deal with it strictly in accordance with national laws. "

The court ministers all knew what the crux was, but it was indeed difficult to change.

The reason is simply that the prosperity of the Wei Dynasty is based on the attack on the secret realm, and the abundant resources will not flow to the people for free.

The various county government offices cannot benefit from the secret realm of the military fort, so they can only find ways to enrich their harvest.

"Hey, the wealth of the Wei Dynasty can only show off the military power, but it is difficult to care for the people."

The Emperor of the Wei Dynasty was not a saint who served the people wholeheartedly. He said this just to express the court's attitude to the governors of various states.

With this attitude and showing concern, the governors of various states will not let this matter continue to worsen.

"There are still solutions to domestic affairs, but the situation abroad is not optimistic."

The Emperor of Wei changed the topic and chatted with the courtiers about Wei's real worries.

Zhou Yuan could not speak about this kind of issue involving foreign countries, so he could only sit quietly and listen.

However, this also gained something, and he learned that the next move of the Wei Dynasty was to attack the Yu State in the northwest.

But the premise is to change the attitude of Chu State in the south so that it will not interfere in this battle.

"There is no need for regular meetings over there in Nanliang. They have lost all their faith in Buddhism, and there are natural dangers across the Hengjiang River and various tribes of the Shui tribe who are blocking me. They dare not offend me.

Only the Chu State is in trouble. Although it is composed of many large and small feudal states, its combat power cannot be underestimated. It can share the worries of the Yu State at any time and block the Wei army. "

"I intend to marry Princess Anren to the prince of Chu, sign an alliance with him, and then conquer the Yu Kingdom. What do you think?"

As soon as the Emperor of Wei finished speaking, all the courtiers expressed their opinions.

Some people disagreed and thought that the Chu State should be brought together with Nanliang to deal with it. The reason was that the Chu State and the Yu State both occupied the territory of the Wei Dynasty.

Although those lands were lost by the previous Dakang Dynasty, the Wei Dynasty inherited the country of Dakang and naturally wanted to claim back all its homeland.

Some agreed, thinking that the priority should be to defeat the Yu State, and then suppress the Yu State's troops to deter the Chu State together.

In short, no one said not to fight, they were just arguing about the method of fighting.

The opinion of the Governor of Huaizhou was to defend Chu with Liang and then attack Yu. Zhou Yuan was more inclined to this old leader in terms of personal emotions.

Amidst the debate among the courtiers, the meat in the Sifang Cauldron was finally stewed.

The Habayashi soldiers cut it up and placed it on a wooden plate. Then they placed a plate of salt and pepper on the corner of the wooden plate and presented it.

The Emperor of the Wei Dynasty took out a strange treasure pot with the sun and moon shining brightly, and asked his guards to hold the pot to distribute the wine.

The wine jug was only about the size of a human head, but the wine inside was extremely abundant. It continued to be packed into various wine vessels, but there was no shortage at all.

[Sun and Moon Pot], [Qiankun Wine]

Zhou Yuan, who could see the information about the items, saw how extraordinary they were through the names of the pot and wine.

"Everyone, please drink. This is the Qiankun wine brewed by the Sun and Moon Pot. It is better than most rare and precious spiritual wines. You must try it."

The Emperor of the Wei Dynasty was right. After Zhou Yuan drank the wine, he immediately gained two positive states: the sun and the moon nourished the spirit, and the universe absorbed the energy.

They can temporarily increase the divine attributes and air attributes respectively, and can increase the values ​​of divine attributes and air attributes for a long time.

Just when Zhou Yuan thought that today's military discussion was coming to an end and it was time to change to some lighter topics.

The woman in armor who had been kneeling behind the Wei Emperor suddenly spoke.

"Father, I am willing to go to Chu State."

"Why? But because of my will."

Well, Zhou Yuan originally thought that the armored woman was the concubine of the Emperor of Wei, but he didn't expect it to be Princess Anren who had been arguing before.

"No, this is my ambition, not my father's order.

My father once said that the people worship the phoenix in the hope that it will soar in the sky and bless all living beings, rather than soaring into the sky, forgetting its hometown, and never returning."

"Anren has received support from the Great Wei and is willing to continue my country's ambition and prosper my country."

The court officials obviously knew that Princess Anren was here, and were not surprised by Princess Anren's sudden speech.

"My daughter has high aspirations and should be a great success. But you will have your own children sooner or later after entering Chu. How will you deal with it then?"

"Father, if my son is the next crown prince of Chu, I will strictly abide by the doctrine of the mean and teach my son to form an alliance with Wei.

If my son is not the crown prince, I will do my best to help Wei and interfere with the monarch and ministers of Chu with the national strength of Wei."

"Very good, my son is talented and virtuous."

The Emperor of Wei was very satisfied with his daughter's answer. He did not ask his daughter to become a spy, but only asked her to have the awareness of maintaining relations between the two countries.

Therefore, he could accept abiding by the doctrine of the mean and maintaining an alliance; he could also accept helping Wei and influencing Chu.

"This is not a certainty. It depends on whether the king of Chu dares to let my princess of Wei enter his child's East Palace.

But we must also make preparations early. Does my son have any other requests?"

"No, everything should be as usual, so that the monarch and ministers of Chu will not have doubts."
