Chapter 3093 Shameless Request

Lord Shang personally received the guardians of the sacred tree, and there were two Mahayana and county staff from the Shang family who were responsible for accompanying and receiving the imperial royal guardians.

Although Princess Xin Shu has been rectified and Prince Xin has also been punished, one code is the same. Ning County is the territory of the Xinhe Empire. They are the people of the empire. No matter how happy they are, they still have to do it. Give dignity to the imperial royal guardians.

The guardian of the sacred tree has a noble status, and no one dares to compete with him. When the fairy came to Ning County, it was natural for Lord Shang to entertain the fairy first, not to mention Prince Xin and the royal family. The guardians did not dare to make irresponsible remarks, even if the emperor of the empire was present, they did not dare to say a word.

When Chamberlain Huang and the royal family received Prince Xin, they fed him a handful of elixirs and sent him to Ruyi House to recuperate. They did not dare to enter the governor's house until Lord Shang led the gods. The Tree Guardian entered the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion and they walked inside.

The Sheriff’s Mansion is very wide and is divided into fifteen roads. The middle road in the middle is the main building of the Sheriff’s Mansion. There are five buildings in the courtyard. Enter the courtyard from the five-room gate with three lights and two darks. Beyond Yimen is the main hall of the Sheriff's Mansion.

The chief of a county is called a county governor, also called a county king, and his position is the same as the county king. The main building of the county government office is not called a mansion or a hall, but a palace-level standard.

Yunlan is vast, and the territories and customs of humans and beasts are different. Each empire also has its own system and code, but they all have the same purpose.

The buildings of each empire also have strict systems. The human race's imperial palace basically has nine eaves, the prince level has seven eaves, and the prince's and the governor's mansion of each county have five eaves.

The main buildings of the outstanding Duke’s Palace, General’s Palace and Prime Minister’s Palace also have five eaves.

The main buildings of various government offices and the residences of first-rank officials can only have triple eaves. The residences of county and town houses and other imperial officials can only have double eaves at most, and there are also gates. There are restrictions on size and number of door leaves, etc.

The number of rooms in the main buildings of the Royal Palace, Prince's Palace and County Sheriff's Palace also has specifications and grades.

The main hall of the Ning County Sheriff’s Mansion is 21 rooms wide, with a total of seven rooms connected to the front and rear colonnades in the depth direction. It has a raised beam structure, a five-story verandah roof with double eaves, and painted railings on the main hall. The eaves are magnificent.

There are nine-bay ear halls on the left and right sides of the main hall. The ear halls are more than twenty feet apart from the main hall, and are connected to the main hall by a long corridor.

The east and west side halls are each seventeen rooms wide, and the south and north side halls are each seven bays wide. The square atrium surrounded by the main hall and the side halls is paved with bluestone bricks.

There is a podium at the back of the side hall, which runs from the south wall of the gate all the way to the back wall of the fifth apse.

The main palace area is where the prince and his staff handle official affairsIn this place, the main palaces of the governor's palaces in the counties of the Xinhe Empire have a unified name - "Qin'an Palace".

The main hall of the third entrance hall behind Qin'an Hall is a triple-eaves main hall, with a width of 17 rooms and five ear halls from east to west.

The east and west auxiliary halls are each eleven rooms wide, and the south and north side halls are each attached with five rooms wide.

The main hall of the third main hall is called "Yin'an Hall". Every year, sealing or opening of seals, blessings, new county governor's appointment ceremony, etc. are all held in the main hall of the third main hall.

When county princes and officials encounter official matters that require the participation of counties, cities or monk families, they will also receive/meet with people from all parties in the side hall or main hall of the third hall, or in the third hall. Some internal business discussions.

The main hall of the fourth entrance is thirteen rooms wide, with five east and west ear halls each, eleven east and west side halls, and three ear halls each in the north and south.

The fifth main hall is the apse. The rules of the main hall and side halls are the same as those of the fourth main hall.

The fourth and fifth halls are the guest courtyards used by the county governor to entertain visiting officials at the county level and imperial officials and royal family during their inspections.

Under normal circumstances, county-level officials or court officials generally live in the back hall. If they are court officials or members of the royal family who represent the monarch, they will live in the fourth hall.

Prince Xin inspected the city on behalf of the monarch. The group came to the Sheriff's Mansion in Ning County and temporarily stayed in the fourth hall.

In addition to the main palace area on the middle road, there are seven east and west roads, which are important areas such as the grain warehouse, the bank warehouse, the equipment warehouse, the classics court, the prison room, the county governor's canteen, etc.

These areas all belong to the front area of ​​the County Sheriff's Mansion. There is a passage between the back wall of the front area and the back area. The back area is the residential area for the families of the County Sheriff's Mansion officials.

The layout of the Sheriff's Mansion is orderly, and you can see it clearly at a glance from high above.

The first courtyard of the Sheriff’s Mansion is slightly narrower, with a cross road in the middle. There are doors on the east and west walls leading to the podium at the back. Between the east and west walls and the podium, A narrow path was formed in between.

Huang Naijian and the royal family hurriedly entered the Sheriff's Mansion, walked west through the door on the west wall, walked around the main hall along the corridor, and then went to the rear of the Sheriff's Mansion to entertain the prince and princess. of the main hall.

Le Yun had taken a look at the general layout of the Sheriff's Mansion from the air. She was not interested in visiting the entire Sheriff's Mansion. She entered the Yimen, walked straight along the atrium, and then climbed the steps to the eaves of the main hall. , turned around and looked at the atrium in front of the palace.

The atrium is as wide as a square and can accommodate tens of thousands of people. If a banquet is held in the atrium, 6,000 tables for ten people are still more than enough.

After testing the area of ​​the square, Le Yun pointed to each corner and asked the Shang monks to place the talismans or talismans for the formation.Go down.

Shang Junjun and the monks from his family found the angle and exact location pointed out by the fairy, placed the talismans and talismans, and circled almost one-eighth of the total floor area.

After setting up the purification array, Shang Mahayana washed Princess Xin Shu’s three storage containers with clean water first, and then took the contents out to dry.

Princess Xin Shu’s three storage items are a bracelet and two rings. The bracelet is three thousand feet wide, and the ring is one thousand feet wide inside and one hundred feet wide inside.

In secular empires or immortal cultivating families, storage is also an important cultivation resource, and large storage is an even scarcer resource. There are also few private storages for monarchs or family heads. More than thirty thousand feet.

For most monks from cultivating families, only well-qualified Nascent Soul monks can get a house with a width of 1,000 feet. If you want to have a storage device with a larger space, then work hard to save it yourself. Spirit stones, and then if you have the opportunity, go to a refiner or a store that sells magic weapons to buy them.

Generally speaking, only magic weapon shops in big cities at the county level can have storage containers exceeding a thousand feet. There are very few magic weapon shops at the prefecture and county levels to buy and sell storage devices. If there are, they must It is a small storage device within fifty feet.

Even though the kings or royal families of certain empires may appear to be prosperous, they actually lack training resources and the competition within the royal family is very fierce.

Princess Xin Shu actually has a storage container three thousand feet wide and one thousand feet wide, which shows that her status in the royal family is extremely high.

Moreover, her supplies are very messy.

The Mahayana Shang family moved the items out of the storage containers and stacked them in piles. There were about 80,000 pieces of the best silk and satin from various places as tribute, and 900 boxes of gorgeous and exquisite brocade clothes. , 500 boxes/boxes of shoes and socks, jewelry, headdress, and accessories.

There are more than 3,000 boxes of fine pearls, gems and the Four Treasures of the Study.

Various types of concentrates used for refining weapons were piled into more than fifty hills. There were about 8,000 boxes of the best quality tribute fruits and spiritual plants from all over the empire, more than a hundred magic weapons, and more than forty Box of talismans and materials for making talismans.

There are also some ingredients, one hundred and fifty boxes of Lingbei Lingyu, more than 200 spiritual beasts, and fifty fifth to seventh level monster beasts, including three Only a seventh-level monster.

Princess Xin Shu also has a large number of the most indispensable cultivation resources for monks - spiritual stones and jade. There are about 130,000 pieces of various kinds of spiritual jade, about 80,000 pieces of low-grade spiritual stones, and more than 10,000 pieces of medium-grade spiritual stones. There are also more than a hundred high-grade spiritual stones and fifty thousand spiritual beads.

There are also more than 2,800 boxes of books, calligraphy and paintings, fans, various ornamental carvings, porcelain, clothes and other miscellaneous things that are considered fine products in the secular world.

A lot of items from storageThey were transferred out of the container and the ground circled for the purification talisman array was crowded.

The monks of the Shang family, as well as some government servants and attendants who had returned to the county governor's office in advance to perform their respective duties, also saw the items on the floor, and they were all dumbfounded.

Princess Xin Shu is so rich!

A princess like her has so many resources, the empire is so rich!

But the imperial family is obviously so rich, why does the monarch often send envoys to Ning County to cry out for poverty, buy a large amount of grain from Ning County, and never pay the grain payment?

There were a few minor officials who were on duty at the Sheriff’s Mansion. Because they had to guard the palace of the Sheriff’s Mansion, they did not go out to watch the excitement until the County Lord accompanied the Guardian Fairy of the Sacred Tree into the main palace area. I greeted you respectfully at the entrance of the palace, but I couldn't help it now.

"The monarch has so many spiritual stones to reward the princess. Why do the envoys who come to Ning County always say that the treasury has no money, and every ten days when they come to Ning County to transport grain, they are in arrears with grain and silver?"
< br />"That is, the empire comes to Ning County every ten years in the name of the empire to ask for food, but never gives food or silver. The debt is owed again and again, and I don’t know how many hundreds of years it has been delayed."

"Ning County has a lot of taxes. In addition to taxes and grain, we also need to borrow grain. We treat Ning County as if it is an inexhaustible money storehouse and grain storehouse."

"Obviously there is a lot of money The resources are rewarded to the princess, but there is no money to pay for food and silver. This is too much for bullying the people!"

The petty officials became more and more angry as they talked. Ningjun is also the territory of the empire. How can the country and the county squeeze Ningjun like this? Are the people of Ningjun the subjects of the empire?

The petty officials wanted to complain indirectly to the fairy, but Lord Shang could not bear to scold him and apologized guiltily: "This county also knows that everyone feels aggrieved. It is because of the incompetence of this county and the Shang family. He is good at flattery and flattery, and no courtiers in the empire speak for this county, which makes Ningjun become a thorn in the side of the courtiers."

"Junjun, we are not wronged, the most wronged is you!"< br />
"Jun Jun, you are the best Jun Jun. Under the governance of you and the previous Jun Juns of the Shang family, Ning County has prospered Chang'an for a long time, and all the people can live and work in peace and contentment."

The officials and government officials also complained about the county prince. The most aggrieved person was the county prince. The royal envoys came to ask for taxes, money and grain. It was the county prince who was always at the wheel, trying to keep the amount of rice and grain "sold" to the empire as low as possible to reduce loss.

Are Lord Shang aggrieved?

Of course he was aggrieved, more aggrieved than anyone else, but he had no place to express his grievances.

As a county magistrate, no matter how angry he is, Shang Junjun has to endure it and try his best to deal with the courtiers. He does not seek to gain welfare for Ningjun, but only wants to reduce the suffering of the people. loss.

Princess Xin Shu’s resources were all exposed to the sun, Le Yun threw a few talismansI went to the air to dry my belongings and heard the conversation between Shang Junjun and the government officials. I couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb: "How many years of grain and silver does the Xinhe Empire owe Ningjun?"

Shang Junjun He smiled bitterly: "The imperial capital is also afraid that Qian Ning County will have an excuse not to pay for food. He always pays for food every eight or ninety times. The total of these zeros adds up to about 100,000 yuan." We bought food and silver 256 times, which is equivalent to more than a billion spiritual stones."

, even if you are not struck by lightning, you will have no descendants!" Le Yun couldn't help but cursed, and gave a very kind suggestion:

"It is natural to pay back debts, whether it is the king himself or the courtiers. Come to buy grain, let them pay the grain and silver arrears in full before we talk about anything else.

Pay the grain and silver, and you will give the corresponding amount of rice and grain according to the grain and silver.

If the king of Xin Heguo is dissatisfied, let him come to this fairy in person to argue.

Fairies travel across the continent, obeying the rules of paying with one hand and delivering the goods with the other. They never dare to violate the principles of buying and selling. Where do they, the Xin family and the courtiers, have the confidence to defraud the people of their food?

They are also good luck. , I have not met this fairy, but if I meet this fairy, even if one person has nine lives, it will not be enough for this fairy to behead him."

The officials and officials were so surprised that they kowtowed in a hurry: " Thank you to the fairy for upholding justice for Ningjun! On behalf of the people of Ningjun, I would like to thank the fairy for your kindness! The kindness of the fairy will be unforgettable for you!"

"No need to salute, just get up." Le Yun He asked again: "This time when the crown prince of Xin Heguo came to Ningcheng, did he ask for rice and grain for free?"

Come to ask for food. This time the prince and princess are here, how could they not take the opportunity to rob!

Mr. Shang Jun took a deep breath: "I dare not deceive the fairy. On the first day he came to Ningcheng, Prince Xin told the king's decree and asked Ning Jun to collect 80% of this year's autumn grain. Get up and pay tribute."

Several petty officials and government servants suddenly changed their expressions. The empire wants 80% of Ning County's autumn grain? This is not asking for food, it is clearly asking for the lives of the people of Ning County!

"What a shameless and stupid king!" Le Yun burst into anger and shouted: "The royal family of the Xin family, the eunuch and Prince Xin, come here to see this fairy! ”

People regard food as their first priority.

No matter where you are, food is the lifeblood of the people. Even in the earth's modern technological society, farmers who mainly focus on agriculture must leave enough rations before selling food every year.

　The land in Yunlan is fertile and the grain yield is high, but the people are tall and eat a lot. The food intake of an adult man is about half to twice that of an adult man on earth.

The people in Yunlan Realm who make a living by farming also pay food tax on the food they grow. After paying the tax, their own members must keep at least 50% as food rations, and sell half of it at most. .

The king of the Xinhe Empire asked the people of Ning County to hand over 80% of the food. How could he care about the lives of the people? He was so shameless!

As a farmer's child herself, Leyun knew the importance of food to farmers. After hearing the shameless request of Lord Xinhe, she wanted to kill the foolish monarch.
