The 50th dragon scale (V)

"Your Highness, don't be angry."

Seeing that Linglong didn't speak, the beauty began to panic. She racked her brains to comfort Linglong, but so far, she couldn't say anything to comfort. The son-in-law really betrayed the princess. The beauty really didn't want to say good words to him.

Linglong blinked: "I'm not angry."

"Aren't you angry?" The beauty was slightly stunned. The expression just now didn't seem to be lifeless“ Your highness... What are you going to do? "

"Of course, it's to beat Da Xia down." Linglong stretched, "so that the son-in-law can understand that he can only be a son-in-law in his life."

Linglong's words are not for fun. The national fortune of the great Xia Dynasty is declining, the king of the Xia Dynasty is fatuous, and all princes have been eyeing. Just because of his reputation, no one wants to be the first bird. This time he sent envoys to the state of Jin because the king of Jin offered to be a pioneer - his sweetheart ran to Daxia. He was very worried. Naturally, he hated Daxia who kidnapped his sweetheart. Who knows that the envoys will never come back. In order not to lead the guard by their grandson, the kings thought it was a certainty to win Linglong. Who knows that they were easily killed. Now their lives are still in the hands of others!

The king of Xia is arrogant, extravagant, licentious and greedy for pleasure. If you want to say how cruel and tyrannical he is, it's no better than the king of Jin who always plays with his concubine and takes his ministers out to chop his head. The king of Xia can be called a messenger of peace. However, just because he was greedy for pleasure and followed the example of the upper authorities and the lower authorities, he made the whole court a perverse atmosphere. People with lofty ideals were excluded, and the small people who flattered them were important.

Not to mention anything else, just every year when the summer king goes out to spend the summer, he will build a new palace, which will not only waste people and money, but also the responsible officials will learn from each other and try their best to make money. When the National Treasury is insufficient, severe taxes are imposed. When the people could not pay taxes, they beat, smashed, looted and burned, not like officers and soldiers, but like robbers. In order to make up for the taxes, many young and middle-aged workers of other families bite their teeth and go down to the mountains and sea. Only to catch rare animals, they pick up beautiful mussels and pearls to offset the taxes and exchange a few mouthfuls of rice.

In this way, the king of Xia often raises a strange idea and collects a tax. In order to live, the people have to fight with their lives. I don't know how many people died in the mouth of beasts and buried in the belly of big fish. How many people are broken, broken and dead.

But the Xia king in the palace doesn't know. He never cares about this. He only cares about whether the pearls inlaid on his new king's crown tomorrow are big enough, whether the color is full and fresh, and what are the people? He is a king and should have enjoyed the worship of the world.

The emperor's son-in-law must have made the same idea. The king of Xia has long lost the support of the people. If one of the princes rises up, many people who can't live will respond one after another. However, it's not easy to be a leading bird. Everyone wants to be the one who watches the fire from the other bank, and no one is willing to end up.

Well, now they get what they want and don't end up.

The people's livelihood was difficult in the summer. Except for the nobles who entered the army by relying on the shadow of their ancestors, ordinary soldiers also lived a hard life. The grain, grass and military pay distributed from the military headquarters have to go through the hands of countless people. One bite and another bite - when they are distributed to the soldiers, there will not be much left. Because they haven't fought for many years, their winter clothes are filled with substandard rotten cotton, or reed flowers! It looks thick, but it doesn't keep warm at all!

Summer is hot, and many people in the army suffer from heatstroke. After reporting, even a decoction for relieving heatstroke must go through the procedure!

to war?

How?

Their weapons are old, they don't have safe and strong armor, and they are stupid generals who can only put on airs - what do they want to fight with the army of the Dragon kingdom? Did you go up to abuse food?

The army of the Dragon kingdom is composed of elite soldiers and good generals of various vassal states. The kings are eyeing the delicious fat meat of summer. They practice troops and horses in private to collect food and grass. Unexpectedly, Linglong takes advantage of the cheap!

It's not that none of them wanted to resist. It's just that the princess fell to the ground and died suddenly at the moment when she said hi. Other restless people didn't live for a few days. The rest of them slowly became honest. Anyway, they were trapped in the capital of the former Jin State and the Dragon state and couldn't leave. Frankly, they were hostages, but in exquisite words, they were called mascots.

Lofty sentiments and aspirations can be worn away. After being honest, the kings find that they are also doing well. Why have to fight with the great demon king? It is said that the princess is the reincarnation of a real dragon and protected by a divine dragon. They should not provoke ordinary people. After all, everyone wants to live well.

The king of Jin is still hanging on the tower! Half dead people are neither human nor ghost. They don't want to make the princess angry. At that time, their little brother will be cut off and put up in public. That's too miserable! Now it's not good to eat frozen melons and fruits, listen to the play and chat, and show loyalty to the princess again!

Most of the kings are mediocre, but they have ambition. Unfortunately, they don't have the strength to match their ambition. Some of them are smart enough and have been arrested by Linglong as a little secretary. She doesn't like looking at the folding. These people can look at the folding and report to her. They are still capable.

When the king of Jin was in power, he formulated many harsh laws and studied many tortures. The people would be beheaded if they made a little mistake. However, he was cruel and the people dared to be angry but not speak. Linglong abolished all his previous laws, then moved out a written law for reference to several obedient kings, and gave them half a month to formulate a new law.

She also ordered people to set up a special law popularization department to select literate and good talkers to go to various countries for publicity by cities and villages. The first thing to bear the brunt is to exempt all people from taxes for three years!

The common people don't care whether men or women are on the throne or what their status is. The tax exemption for three years alone is enough for many people to sing praises to Linglong!

So, what about the empty treasury?

The three-year tax exemption has completely reduced the burden on the people, but there must be war and military supplies! The ministers' salaries must be given!

Together, there are twenty vassal states, big and small. All countries have hundreds of civil and military officials. After the establishment of the Dragon state, they simply can't afford to raise such people. Linglong is also very talkative. They all have to take exams from the first senior official to the second senior official, and from the ninth junior official to the county official! Those who fail will be laid off!

Before attacking Daxia, we must deal with the government affairs of the Dragon Kingdom, otherwise she pretends to force a fire in the backyard. Who will be responsible? Do you want her to breathe again?

Not only that, Linglong also recruits female officials. As long as she has a skill, she will keep it for standby. If you don't say it's far away, you can say it's near. A bunch of beauties in the imperial palace of the king of Jin fought for the king of Jin. As a result, the king of Jin was cold. They lost their goal and couldn't fight any more. Most of these beauties are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, poetry and Fu. They are both talented and beautiful. Linglong gently tells them that she doesn't raise people for nothing. She either goes home to find a way out or works for her at her command.

The beauties agreed in tears.

According to their respective talents, they are assigned by special personnel to shine and heat in each post. Because the king of Jin likes a talented woman like tao yao who has many wonderful ideas. The beauties also study very hard in order to compete for favor. Although the king of Jin is cruel, people who are not favored can't live in the harem! They also have their own family and friends. They can't just bury themselves in the harem all their lives.

Those concubines who died in the king of Jin's bed, although they died, were rewarded by their families. It's better to fight for them than wither and grow old in the harem.

Who knows, once the weather changes, the king of Jin will be cold.

The beauties quickly took care of themselves and began to move towards a new life. It was like not dying for a man. Several beauties who had been pinched alive and dead at the beginning can now sleep in a bed!

Linglong doesn't stop them from looking for the second spring. Some beauties who have been killed by the king of Jin have the courage to meet him with their new husband, make a mockery, and then go home satisfied.

The king of Jin hung on the gate and saw his women wearing green hats one by one. He hated and despaired, but he had no desire to revenge Linglong in his heart, because he dared not. Even now he thought of his beloved Taoyao girl, and his heart did not regenerate feelings and feelings.

Compared with eternal despair, love doesn't seem so important.

Linglong sent someone to search the kings' coffers, and then did her favorite thing - copying the house!

The real noble family has been put in important position, and all the corrupt officials who are dead have been uprooted. No one knows how she recognized it. Instead, the people and kings increasingly believe that she is the reincarnation of a real dragon. Otherwise, why can no one escape the eyes of that pair of dragons? As long as she looks at them, she can know their past and present lives!

Linglong thinks they really think too much. She is hungry and sleepy. What a precious thing power is. She can't even bear to use it. How can she use it on these people? At least she has lived in the human world for so long. She only needs to look up and know whether what they say is true or false. She doesn't care about the past life and this life.

Such a style cannot be completed by any king. The opposition of all officials, the obstruction of aristocratic families, and the verbal and written criticism of scholars... Are all stumbling blocks on the road to change the Dynasty and return the generation. Many emperors will compromise because of this, but it's difficult to work here at Linglong.

She is the fiercest, so everything she says is right. No one is allowed to say no.

Strictly speaking, she is more like a tyrant than the king of Jin.

The people can say that the emperors who have lived forever in the long history can not compare with the tyrant who exempted them from taxes for three years and gave them a happy life.
