Chapter 7 Strange brother, I want to die(2/3)
The court no longer had to worry about collecting food, and the people gradually began to have enough food and clothing.
If there is a natural disaster, most people will have food stored at home.
Moreover, the government also has reserved grain and will appropriately distribute grain to the victims according to the disaster situation.
The people have food and clothing, so they will naturally live and work in peace and contentment. The corresponding bandits and bandits are also far less.
There have been a lot of scholars.
When the treasury is full, the country will naturally become stronger.
By now, the equipment of the Dayan army has been replaced several times, and its combat effectiveness has been several times stronger than before.
There has been no war on the border for many years, and even if there is one, it is just a small friction.
After all, with the current national and military strength of Dayan, no country dares to provoke easily unless it doesn’t want to live anymore...
This is a realistic example.
Decades ago, Japan was watching the sky from a well and thought it was invincible in the world, so it even launched a large-scale attack on Dayan.
As a result, the emperor was angered at that time.
At the order of the emperor, Dayan attacked the warships and sent 100,000 elite troops to defeat the Japanese country, and finally kneeled down and surrendered.
Now, although it is still Japan, it has become a vassal state, paying tribute every year, and never dares to have a second thought and live like a grandson.
There are also small countries in the north and west who also took the initiative to pay tribute in order to obtain the protection of the Great Yan Dynasty.
In short, the Great Yan Dynasty today can be said to be like a giant standing in the east of the world, which has led many small Western countries to come to pay tribute.
When the throne was passed to Emperor Chengqi, the world was peaceful and the people lived and worked in peace.
Of course, this is only relative.
Even in a peaceful era, there will inevitably be robbers, bandits, demons and monsters.
Emperor Chengqi was not content with the status quo.
Although he has no ambition to surpass his ancestors, he is not willing to be ordinary. He has been thinking of ways to continue to develop and make the Dayan Dynasty stronger.
Therefore, when I heard Mo Ziming return, I was naturally surprised and couldn't wait to meet him to listen to some teachings.
After Mo Ziming arrived in the capital, he realized that the city was decorated with lights and colors, as lively as a festival.
Moreover, it can be seen that such a formation was specially prepared to welcome him.
In the palace.
An eunuch stumbled into the imperial study room, and he was so angry that he reported: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Duke Wen Ding has arrived in the capital..."
If this was the case before, I would never dare to be so reckless if I borrowed the eunuch's ten courage.
For big things, you have to be careful, for fear of angering the emperor.
But this time, he couldn't help but feel excited. At the same time, he knew that the emperor would never blame him, and he might even be rewarded.
Sure enough, when he heard the report, Emperor Chengqi, who was reading a book, immediately stood up and looked surprised: "Hurry, go out of the palace and prepare to welcome Duke Wen Ding."
"Abide by the order!"
"Hahaha, I will definitely be rewarded if I look back."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The eunuch was full of joy and hurried away.
Throughout history, few people have been able to enjoy the treatment of the emperor leaving the palace in person.
Generally speaking, in most cases, a general made great contributions and returned in triumph, the emperor would make an exception and go out of the palace to greet him.
Not long after, Emperor Chengqi appeared outside the palace gate surrounded by a group of guards.
The Empress Dowager, Empress, Imperial Concubine, as well as a group of princes and princesses...
This scene is unprecedented.
Even those generals who have made great contributions can only be welcomed by the emperor. But now, even the empress dowager, queen, prince and son have appeared.
Of course, in addition to Mo Ziming's contribution to the Da Yan Dynasty, the more important reason may be his other special identity.
In the eyes of the people, he is already like an immortal.
On the other hand, Mo Ziming did not plan to go to the palace as soon as possible.
At the same time, Qin Song, Lu Buping, Xin Jiuniang, Hongxiu and Yingning also made an appointment to meet him together.
Finally, I cut the street on the halfway to the Duke's Mansion.
As soon as they met, Qin Song and Lu Buping looked excited and ran over quickly like children...
Speaking of which, the two have changed a lot. They were young men in their 20s back then. After more than a hundred years, they looked like middle-aged people in their forties.
But Mo Ziming still looked more than thirty.
Of course, this cannot be compared.
Qin Song and Lu Buping are not serious immortal cultivators, because they have no spiritual roots.
However, with Mo Ziming's spiritual pill and a dual cultivation method passed on to them, they finally gave the two the art of immortality.
If you have nothing to do, meditate and practice some conventional breathing methods, it is probably not a big problem to live for a thousand years.
Now, the two have long stopped serving as officials in the court.
However, he still holds a title similar to an advisor and enjoys the salary and benefits of the court.
"Haha, Brother Qin, Brother Lu!"
Mo Ziming clamored, and he accelerated his pace to move forward.
"Brother Mo, you have been leaving for more than a hundred years, I miss you so much..."
Qin Song showed his true feelings, his eyes were red, and he was a big hug when he stepped forward.
"Huh? Xiao Yingning?"
Xiaoqing looked at Yingning beside Xin Jiuniang with a steady look... This girl has grown up, and she looked like a 14 or 15-year-old girl back then, but she has not yet grown up.
Now, it looks like it is almost eighteen or nineteen, so watery and so well-behaved.
"Sister Xiaoqing, hehe..."
Xiao Yingning still loves to laugh, and she laughs while running, leaving behind a string of silver bell-like laughter.
"Haha, look, she was the first to greet me..."
Xiaoqing is not unlucky.
"Sister Bai... Hey, this sister..."
Yingning ran closer, and couldn't help but slow down, looking at Tushan Yaya with a look of surprise.
After all, she is a fox.
Tushan Yaya is the king of the fox clan and the descendant of the nine-tailed fox. Naturally, she gave Yingning an invisible pressure and awe.
"Little sister, your name is Yingning?"
It seems that Tu Shan Yaya also likes Yingning very much, so she smiled and pinched Yingning's pink face.
"Yeah... sister, you... are you... Tianhu?"
This little girl is quite smart and vaguely guessed Tushan Yaya's identity.
However, the heavenly fox she mentioned usually refers to the thousand-year-old fox demon, which means the strongest one in the fox clan.
The nine-tailed fox is generally called the nine-tailed heavenly fox.
Because, how could those who can cultivate the Nine Tails be ordinary people? They have at least a thousand years of practice.
"Haha, you're smart..."
Xiaoqing also reached out and pinched Yingning's face.
Who made this girl look so pink and tender, and her face is easy to pinch?
Bai Suzhen smiled and said, "Yingning, her name is Tushan Yaya, and she comes from Tushan..."
"Ah? Tu... Tushan?"
Yingning was shocked.
After all, she is a fox clan and naturally pays more attention to the legend of Tushan than others.
The Tushan clan is the ancestor of the fox clan and the king of the fox clan. It has always been a legend, including her mother.
"Well, that's right, Tushan, in a very far place, across the boundless sea..."
"I have met Mr. Mo."
At this time, Hongxiu and Xin Jiuniang both walked to Mo Ziming and saw a greeting, and then walked towards Bai Suzhen and others to see the greeting.
Hongxiu and Xin Jiuniang have always been close friends and talk about everything, and are as close as sisters. After all, they are both fox tribes and it is easy to find the same topic.
