Chang'an Changle Palace

Late night
"Your Majesty, it's time to rest earlier." Concubine Tang replaced the burning oil lamp beside the emperor, lit a new oil lamp, waved away the maids at the side, and personally brought hot tea for the emperor.

"These are the records sent by the counties of the counties and countries this year. I will fall asleep after reading them. You should go back first." The emperor's voice was very gentle, not at all as majestic as he was in the court. And I won't put on airs like I call myself, and concentrate on looking at the accounting book on the table.

These books record the population, fields, commercial markets, and financial conditions of various counties, counties, and even villages. They are an important basis for the Chang'an court to formulate relevant policies, but no relevant system has yet been formed. Only every few years or For more than ten years, when the emperor was free, he would order each county to report the situation in the county, and then adjust the taxation and other policies of each county according to the reported situation.

For the accounting books with no problems, the emperor will write words of praise in the bottom blank space to express his encouragement, while for the accounting books with problems, the local county government will check the population and acres again, and report to Chang'an again. Submit the book.

Looking at the accounting books submitted by the counties and states on the bamboo slips one by one, the emperor sighed and looked at the somewhat dark palace.

"Your Majesty?" Concubine Tang was very concerned.

"There are few virtuous officials in the counties and states of the world." The emperor shook his head. There were more or less problems with the records he read, but the problems were not too big. According to his understanding of these county officials, the local What kind of things happened can be roughly guessed.

Shaking his head, it was the turn of Liaodong County's accounting book, and after looking at it, he found that something was wrong.

"There was no catastrophe in Liaodong, nor was it harmed by the rebels of the Seven Kingdoms. How did the land and population decrease so much?" Feeling that something was wrong, the emperor ordered an eunuch to fetch the Liaodong account book ten years ago. After some comparison, he found that It's a big problem. Liaodong as a whole has tens of thousands of people and 30 acres of land less than ten years ago.

"Get the counting books of each county reported by Liaodong County this year." After discovering that there was a problem with the population and acres of land in Liaodong County, the emperor asked an eunuch beside him to fetch more detailed counties and counties of Liaodong County.

"Promise." The eunuch promised, and soon fetched the accounting books of the counties in Liaodong County.

Under normal circumstances, the emperor would not carefully read the counting books of the county. There are more than 1000 counties in the world, and it is impossible to read all of them. They can only look at the counties. Look at the reporting situation of various counties in this county.

After some review, the emperor finally understood that almost every county in Liaodong had problems. For example, Zhang’s family in Wen County, Liaodong reported only [-] mu of land in the accounting book, but a certain maid in the palace was from Wen County, Liaodong. The emperor once overheard this court lady talking about the Zhang family in Wen County, Liaodong, and her family kept three or four hundred servants.

Three or four hundred servants and maidservants, is this something a poor family with only a thousand acres of land can afford?

Another example is the Li family in Fangxian County, Liaodong, which reported [-] mu of land, but in the roster of Fangxian officials, more than half of them are surnamed Li. It can't be a coincidence, can it?If it is not a coincidence, is this the strength that a family with only [-] mu of land can possess?
There is also the Wang family in Dashi County, Liaodong, who is relatively honest, and actually reported [-] acres of land, but this Wang family in Liaodong seems to have heard of it before?

When I was looking through the records of Dashi County, the memory of the emperor a few years ago began to emerge, but the time passed too long, and it was very vague. I can't remember anything.

If you can't think of it, don't think about it anymore. When the time comes, arrange for the audience to go to Liaodong for a secret inspection on your behalf.

Thinking in this way, the emperor began to continue to review the accounting books of other counties.

On the side, Concubine Tang, who had learned to write a long time ago, watched the emperor put aside the accounting books of Dashi County, and was also thinking about it.

Their Tang family and the Wang family are considered good friends, and their elder brother Tang Daniu now lives in the Wang family manor, and is happy every day with his arms around the Wang family's maid, and the Wang family will send her various gifts every year. help.

Wei's North Korean column water estuary

A merchant ship flying the "Wang" flag sailed into the river from the sea, and the Korean natives along the coast were all panicked, thinking that it was the fleet of the Han Dynasty coming to crusade against North Korea.

Several Korean soldiers guarding this place hurried back to Wangxian City on fast horses, and reported to their king that there was a Han invasion.

"Ten years, a whole ten years! I'm finally going back to Liaodong! I don't know if the armies of the Seven Kingdoms have entered Chang'an City, maybe my royal family has become the hero of the new dynasty!" A 30-year-old man looked up to the sky and sighed, his face was covered with a beard full of vicissitudes.

He just went out to sea to look for King Taiyang of the Japanese Archipelago. This time he returned to Liaodong, passed North Korea, and planned to snatch Wei's North Korea by the way. Anyway, across the sea, Wei's North Korea couldn't go all the way to Liaodong to take revenge.

"If we do this, what if the king of Wei's North Korea attacks?" On the other side, the 27-year-old Wang Roujing is much less cute, and has a lot more motherly love than before. At this moment, she is holding her arms The arm of the man next to him was leaning on each other's body, caring very much.

"Don't worry, I've asked people to inquire about it before. The king of North Korea, Weiman, is critically ill. The whole country of North Korea is busy preparing for the funeral, and there is no time to guard against this place." Wang Taiyang smiled confidently, and then stroked the blue hair of the woman beside him and continued to add: "Besides, I'm just looting some Korean villages along the Lieshui River, and I won't go deep into the Wangxian City area, and nothing will happen."

"It's all here. Before returning to Liaodong, why don't you loot some Korean natives and go back to be serfs? Let's treat it as a meeting gift for cousin Taeho." Taking a deep breath of the air on the North Korean land, Wang Taiyang felt very comfortable After staying in the Yin Min Islands for too long, he felt that he was about to leave the civilized society, and was about to be assimilated by the Yin merchants who had a large number of people.

In the past ten years, they started from Liaodong, crossed the coast of North Korea, and led the development of the Yin people in the Yinmin Islands. After finally repairing the ship, they could sail far away, so they continued eastward and found a place between Sanhan and the Waren Islands. Oshima, and named it Amandashima.

The reason why it is so named is also because Yan used to be the capital of Yin Shang, and was later moved to other places by Pan Geng. At the same time, Yan was also the most important domestic vassal of Yin Shang, who resisted Dongyi for Yin Shang for more than a hundred years.

After that, they continued to sail eastward, and finally found the Japanese islands mentioned in the legacy of their ancestors.

It is said to be an island, but it is actually very vast. His ship sailed along the coastline of the Waman Islands for several months without finding the end, and finally had to return to the Yinmin Islands. specimen.

When recalling all the hardships in searching for the Japanese Islands, the ship finally landed. After the sailors dropped the anchor, Wang Taiyang put on his armor, rode off the ship on armored horses, and led ten soldiers and twenty Yin warriors ashore. .

"Soldiers of the royal family, put on your armor and land with me!"

"Brothers of the Yin people, hold on to the long spears in your hands and follow behind the soldiers."

Not far from where the boat docked was a North Korean village built by the river.

"￥#@%...#￥...￥#"

"#@%#￥...￥#...&%￥"

The North Koreans in the village panicked, and some clever ones had already run into the mountains and forests. Most of them were reluctant to part with the bottles and cans at home, and it was the first time they encountered robbers from the sea, so they were not vigilant and simply closed the doors and windows. After closing it, sitting tremblingly in the room, I thought I could be safe and sound.

"Kill the escaped ones first!"

Wang Taiyang took the lead and rushed forward on his horse to kill a Korean native villager who was trying to escape into the mountains.

"Uh-"

The strong native Korean man was pierced through the chest by a spear from the back, and immediately fell to the ground and died.

"%#￥%...#￥"

The village was full of incomprehensible wailing sounds. In order to prevent the Korean aborigines from hiding in the dark, Wang Taiyang also ordered his soldiers to set the whole village on fire, and forced the hidden Korean aborigines into the ground with fire and smoke. come out.

All valuable or useful things in the village were taken away, such as jade, grain, pearls, agate, animal skins, cloth, silk, silkworm babies, indigenous women, indigenous strong men and so on.
