Emperor Chu's tone revealed a bit of helplessness: "Although our dynasty has a huge territory and population, the tax revenue that can really be used for national construction and war is far from enough. During the decades of my reign, at least

More than a dozen counties are completely perfunctory and resemble a separatist government."

"In fact, the lack of the most basic food collection alone makes our army unable to fight for a long time, let alone deal with possible large-scale famines. In order not to show cowardice in front of the outer court, Yingdu made several public appearances.

The large granary that has not been opened is already empty, and all of it is used to make up for the losses of the war."

"With the national treasury empty, the large number of troops stationed in the garrison are heavily dependent on supplies from other counties and cannot sustain themselves. Therefore, they are shackled by local clans and it is difficult to send large armies to eliminate these cancers. This is a vicious cycle." Zhao Qing.

Interface:

"By controlling local resources, the powerful clans further weakened the authority and strength of the central government. As a result, the power of local counties and counties expanded even more, sinking the entire Chu Dynasty into a deeper and deeper quagmire. The only way to do this was through centralized mass production.

, can we solve this dilemma..."

Having said this, Zhao Qing once again switched to another topic: "However, in my opinion, the biggest problem of the Chu Dynasty at present is probably the matter of establishing an heir and establishing a prince. Your Majesty's delay in establishing a prince is not only related to the future of the Chu Dynasty

, and it is one of the sources of many current turmoils.”

"As His Majesty's life is coming to an end, many forces in the DPRK are ready to take action. The supporters of each prince will only become more divided and opposed, and even have the idea of ​​​​colluding with other DPRKs to plot evil. This is undoubtedly a very serious hidden danger and cannot be used to establish an heir.

Stirring turmoil and repeated delays.”

Hearing people from other dynasties gesticulating about the ownership of the country's throne, Chu Qifeng beside him was also shocked. Many thoughts flashed through his mind, and then he waved his fingers very fast, setting up several layers of wind barriers covered with talisman lines to block the attention of others.

Sight and hearing.

Some nearby wood flew up one after another. The wind blades carried by the runes in mid-air were accurately cut and spliced, and placed in the area where the four people were. In the blink of an eye, a beautifully carved pavilion was built.

China has even set up many restrictions.

Can this be said on the table? Xia Mi also raised his head and looked around at the routes suitable for tactical retreat. Suddenly, a wisp of the blind dragon's vitality appeared in his hand, which could be used to call the opponent and let him

It quickly moved into the city to support.

"Of course I understand the truth, but the position of the crown prince has been vacant for a long time. It is really because my sons are so unsatisfactory. Now there is not even one who has reached the seventh level of cultivation. The one with the highest level is actually the proton Li who is located in Qin Changling.

Lingjun' is completely unable to take on important tasks."

Emperor Chu had obviously thought about this for a long time, and immediately replied: "In ancient times, if the emperors were far inferior to the important ministers in the court, their actions in all aspects would be strictly restricted, and most of them would become puppet kings, which would in fact bring disaster to the country.

Yuan, how can I make the same mistake again?"

"In recent years, I have practiced secret techniques internally and sought elixirs externally to forcefully prolong my life, just in the hope of giving birth to the final miracle."

"So that's it." Zhao Qing thought secretly in his heart, thinking that among the seventeen princes and twenty-three princesses of the Chu Dynasty, none of them could enter the Seventh Realm. There were also rumors that many of them were crazy, stupid, and physically disabled.

I can roughly guess the reason for this.

She thought for a while and asked: "Among the important weapons of the Chu State, are there any invisible rays that can emit deadly invisible rays, causing the body to fester and make it difficult to recover? It is similar to the killing effect of Zheng Xiu's Starfire Comet Tail Sword.

But it doesn’t necessarily contain the energy of the stars.”

"There is indeed such a thing, called the 'Eclipse Dzi Bead'."

Emperor Chu was stunned for a moment, then replied: "This talisman was jointly made by several holy hands of our dynasty for more than a hundred years. It is obtained from the essence obtained after smelting a piece of bright yellow luminous rock. It is brittle in texture, quite heavy, and has

Similar to the death characteristics of the vitality of stars."
