The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Chapter 631 : Take a step forward!

“Boom boom boom…”

The rapid knock on the door awakened Yan Linglong who was sleeping. She raised her head and looked at the dark sky outside the window. She realized that something was happening and shouted, “Come in!”

A female guard pushed in and hurriedly said: “Your Majesty, report from the palace, your Majesty was assassinated and killed!”

“What are you talking about?” Yan Linglong asked with a shocked expression without feeling drowsy.

The female guard repeated it again, and said: “His Royal Highness, this should be true. No one dares to lie about this kind of thing! It is said that the assassin is a super master, and is very familiar with the structure of the imperial palace, as well as the guards of the Forbidden Army. Very clear, it seems to have been planned for a long time.”

“Super-grade master!” Yan Linglong frowned. There were only a few super-grade masters in the whole world, who were all famous warriors. It was really unexpected that they came to assassinate Yanxifeng this time.

“Really dead?”

After muttering to herself, Yan Linglong fell into deep thought.

After all, he was a real brother. Yan Linglong was surprised if he said he died, and the death of Yanxifeng was too sudden, which somewhat disrupted her plan.

But now is not the time to think too much, she immediately got up and dressed, and then quickly entered the palace.

Entering the palace, after Yan Linglong personally confirmed, she believed that Yan Xifeng was dead, and her head was chopped off. How could she not die.

It was only a few months after Yanxifeng ascended the throne, and he was assassinated and became the fastest emperor in the history of Yan.

Although the emperor was dead, he couldn’t get rid of it. As the princess of the town, Yan Linglong immediately supported the overall situation. She first ordered the imperial army to invite the three important ministers, Shang Shuling, and Zhong Shuling, as well as the generals of the guard army outside the city.

Three important officials with the power of the prime minister rushed to the palace. When they heard that the emperor was assassinated and killed, they thought that Yan Linglong had usurped the throne. They were so scared that the hearts of the three were frightened. Finally, Yan Linglong explained the situation and suggested that the prince should ascend the throne. Wei Zhongchen served as Taishi, Taifu, and Taibao, enjoying the ranks of Wanshi, and the golden seal of purple ribbon.

The clever Yan Linglong did not choose to listen to politics. Because Yanxifeng was assassinated and she had a major suspicion, she suggested that the three highest officials of the three provinces directly put the title of San Gong to assist the new emperor, so as to alleviate her suspicion. After her son sat on the throne, after the situation subsided, Yan Linglong could enter the court, even if the curtain was closed.

When the three important ministers heard this arrangement, their hearts were fierce, and then they looked at each other and made a decision.

The next thing is to announce the world, the new emperor ascends the throne, Yanxifeng’s burial, and so on.

……

It has been several days since Xiao Rui got the news.

Yan Xifeng is looking for death by himself and **** it, let him go to **** to find his father, and the two can continue their grievances again. Now the country of Yan has ushered in a new emperor, Yan Changqing, who is only three years old, has Yan Linglong’s support, and the country of Yan must be close to Daxia, and Xiao Rui does not have to worry about the safety of the south.

Don’t worry about the South, because the country no longer exists and has become Yingzhou, so don’t worry about the coastal areas. The West is blocked by the Qijiang River, but you must beware of the Qin State.

The Great Wall is being built on the eastern section of the northern border, blocking the Yuan army and blocking them in the north, and there are Yue Fei and Li Cunxiao in it, which is not a big problem.

There are mountains and rivers in the middle, so there is no need to worry about natural dangers.

Only the western section is left without mountains and rivers. It is the bordering terrain of sandy land and grassland, so the gate of the border line that stretches for five to six hundred miles is opened.

That area is very desolate, and the people living in it are also very poor. The two states of Ganzhou and Suzhou that used to belong to the Qi state are now part of the territory of Daxia. After these two states go south, you can directly enter the fourteen states of Anxi.

As Qijiang blocked Qin’s ambitions, he was bound to go north from the 16th county of Dongqi, bypassing the grassland, and then directly into the two states of Ganzhou and Suzhou, and continue to attack south, and could enter the big city. Anxi fourteen prefectures in summer. If you attack east, you can enter the fourteen states of Anbei.

And don’t forget, the Mongolian tribes have also moved west.

Therefore, there is bound to be a battlefield for the three countries. For this reason, Xiao Rui re-activated the ever-victorious Hou Tian Boyuan and Zhenyuan Hou Han Ming, letting them sit in Ganzhou and Suzhou to prepare for the future war. At the same time, let the prisoners go to Ganzhou and Suzhou to build cities there as barriers.

There was another opportunity for Xiao Rui to come and be useless. It was rewarded by the system when Zhang Ruoxi gave birth to a son for Xiao Rui.

So after arranging the military affairs in Ganzhou and Suzhou, Xiao Rui immediately started to descend.

This time, the arrival speed was very fast. It did not come to civil servants or military generals, but items came. It was an improved plow cart that could increase the speed of farming.

Xiao Rui had some hope, but he couldn’t help it.

However, Qin’s actions were as expected by Xiao Rui, and he couldn’t cross the river, so he went northward and detoured. Emperor Qin decreed to Meng Yi to rectify two hundred thousand soldiers and horses, bypass the grassland, and occupy Suzhou in Daxia first.

Suzhou is located in the northwest corner of Daxia’s territory. It is mainly occupied, and you can go south and east, which is equivalent to directly tearing open Daxia’s defenses. Then Qin’s soldiers and horses can use Suzhou as their base one after another, and begin to destroy Daxia!

It has to be said that Qi Huang has a wishful thinking.

Let alone whether Meng Yi’s 200,000 army can take down Suzhou, whether the Mongolian Ministry on the grassland will let him go around is still unknown.

So Xiao Rui didn’t worry, and just watched the changes. Now Da Xia was not afraid of any violations.

Ten days later.

Yan Changqing (Xiao Qiye) formally ascended the throne, and under Yan Linglong’s suggestion, sent Daxia a letter of credence, hoping that the two sides would cooperate in depth and deepen the covenant. With the help of Daxia, sweet potatoes have been planted in flood-prone areas in Yan State and a bumper harvest has been achieved.

After thinking about it again and again, Xiao Rui agreed to deepen the cooperation between the two parties, and later sell potatoes, corn and cotton to the country of Yan, and send people to pass on planting experience, so that the new crops will be harvested in the land of Yan.

And time, unknowingly, came to August, ushering in the autumnal equinox.

This year, Daxia also encountered severe natural disasters such as floods, droughts, torrential rains, and typhoons, affecting one-third of the state capitals, and even the fourteen states of Anxi were affected to varying degrees.

The people’s grain harvest is only one-third of what they were ten years ago, or even less. If there are no new crops, and the years are so unfavorable, how will the people live?

Fortunately, the people have new crops.

The harvest of new crops made up for the shortfall in the harvest of grains, and even the output has surpassed the harvest of rice. Now there is no need for the imperial court to vigorously propagate, the people will know what to grow.

Yes, potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes do not taste as good as rice, but in the face of disasters, it is thankful to be able to eat enough. What do you expect to eat?

Therefore, it can be predicted that in the future, the planting structure of the people will be dominated by new crops, supplemented by grains.

If you look farther, Daxia’s five-grain harvest will be reduced, and the same is true in other countries!

Needless to say, the country of Yan, Qin was affected by drought and locusts, and the people’s harvest dropped sharply to one-third. Emperor Qin had to reduce or exempt taxes, but don’t forget that many people are rented land, and the country can exempt them. National taxation, but the dignitaries will not exempt the people from taxation!

After paying taxes on only one-third of the remaining food, the man in charge may only last for two to three months when looking at the only remaining food in the family. Then, looking at the people in the family, each one has no hope in his eyes and is full of despair. The man in charge couldn’t stop crying.

This situation is not one family, but countless families.

On the other hand, those rich and powerful, Yinggeyan Dance is extremely luxurious, and he really complied with that sentence:

While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone.

The distant State of Wei also experienced the same experience as the State of Qin.

As for the Yuan Kingdom, because of the different systems, their resulting plan was that the big tribes would eat the small tribes. As for the small tribes if they could survive, they would survive, and they would perish if they could not.

Under the endless grassland, I don’t know how many people were buried.

And all of this was under Xiao Rui’s control.

Since ancient times, he had to rely on the right time and place to fight, but now Xiao Rui is relying on disasters. Under the circumstances, Daxia has become the most prosperous country in the mainland of China.

So Xiao Rui had to hold on and continue to wait.

And then, Xiao Rui began to focus on the work of reorganizing the state. This is the guarantee of Daxia’s future overall planning, and it is a major event. Xiao Rui worried that it would be difficult to rely solely on the household department to be responsible, so Xiao Rui personally intervened.

During this period, the Ministry of Households and the Cabinet have finalized the entire plan, including which states will be removed and which regions will be merged into, and have reorganized and confirmed the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of each state.

Then, after Xiao Rui personally reviewed and approved Hong Enzhun, the cabinet quickly drafted the imperial decree and promulgated it.

At the same time, the state officials in the 14th Anbei prefectures were re-planned. In the past, in order to stabilize Qimin, the old Qi officials were reused, but now Qimin already knows how good the new crops are and what Daxia’s Well, the mood of resistance has diminished a lot.

Taking advantage of the withdrawal of the state, the planning of the fourteen states of Anbei is also just right.

The relocation work is proceeding in an orderly manner, and the weather has also begun to turn cooler.

Xiao Rui set his sights on the coal mine franchise again, and after discussing with several cabinet scholars, he prepared to take a step forward and fully liberalize the number of franchise operations, no longer there is a quantitative limit.

But the franchise cannot be cancelled , even if it is a piece of white paper, it is also a useful piece of white paper. The coal mine must be under the control of the court, and the coal mine needs to be audited, managed, and taxed.

There is no longer a limit on the number. People can obtain qualifications as long as they mine in accordance with the requirements of the court, but if they want to evade taxes, the punishment is very cruel.

Only in this way can the mining of coal mines be fully liberalized to ensure coal production.

Of course, in order to avoid excessive coal mine prices and illegal businesses maliciously hoarding and raising prices, Xiao Rui specifically asked the Ministry of Households to establish a new department, similar to the China Construction Department of the Ministry of Industry, called the Price Department, which specializes in auditing market prices. , Especially the strict control of items related to the people, such as salt prices, grain prices, coal prices, cotton prices, and so on.

Relying on the imperial government’s macro-control, coal production has risen and coal prices are under control. The prices of coal mines will drop rapidly, so that the people can warm up in the cold winter.

With the memory of his previous life, Xiao Rui worked hard to impart knowledge that would benefit Da Xia, quietly watching Da Xia grow stronger.

It won’t be long before Daxia stood up and swept across the country, the highlight moment of domination.
