According to the Dafeng Geographical Records, Yunzhou spans 60,000 miles and is rich in resources, including agriculture, sericulture, porcelain, herbs, etc.Before Emperor Wuzong rose up, Yunzhou's wealth was ranked among the top five in Dafeng's prefectures.
The official road is far away, winding towards the horizon, with black soil fields on both sides and rolling mountains in the distance.
The sunlight had just risen, and the low temperature of last night remained in the air. The team of more than 100 people slowly moved forward on the official road.
The horse's hooves were clattered with wheels.
In the early years of Yuanjing, Yunzhou's total population reached 5 million.Then, the Yellow Book was fabricated every ten years, and the population gradually decreased sharply. In the 30th year of Yuanjing, Yunzhou had a population of more than 3.5 million.Now is the 36th year of Yuanjing, and there are four more years to rebuild the Yellow Book. I wonder how many people there are left in Yunzhou?
Governor Zhang lifted the curtain and said with emotion.
The population has shrunk by 1.5 million in 30 years, which is very terrifying, and the real population reduction will only be more than this.Because Yunzhou's land is fertile and there is no need to consider famine without natural disasters.
In other words, if the population is reproduced normally in 30 years, the population can grow steadily.
...From 5 million to 3.5 million, it is not a simple subtraction. In fact, the population reduction is at least doubled... Xu Qi'an exclaimed a national curse: What the hell.
Governor Zhang looked at him and continued: Half of the lost population was because of the heavy taxes, and he abandoned his land and became a refugee, or went to the city to make another way to make a living, or became a bandit. These people were not recorded in the yellow book.
Furthermore, the bandits are seriously in trouble, and burning, killing, robbery, which makes it worse.Sometimes, in order to supplement labor, the bandits in the village will take the initiative to go down the mountain to rob the people.Haha, of course, the bandits are not in the yellow book.
Xu Qi'an looked into the distance silently, listening to Governor Zhang's words in his ears, and analyzing in his heart.
...There were still five million people in the early years of Yuanjing. In the tenth year of Yuanjing, the population still shrank. By the 30th year of Yuanjing, there were no more people, and the number was really even greater... Yunzhou took a sharp turn in the past twenty years, and it was almost the beginning of Emperor Jing’s practice of Taoism...
Because Emperor Dafeng is obsessed with practicing Taoism, the Witch God Sect feels like there is an opportunity to take advantage of?
The Witch God Cult has been planning for more than 20 years and will never make small fuss. The countries led by Dafeng and the Witch God Cult must have a battle.
As he thought about it, his head tilted and he almost fell asleep.
You are not in good spirits.Governor Zhang looked at him and frowned: What's wrong?
The governor remembered that Xu Qi'an had been obedient throughout the journey and did not linger in the Jiaofangsi, so he should not be so deficient and exhausted.
Xu Qian turned his head and smiled bitterly at the governor: It’s nothing, he just became a time management master.
This was the eighth day when he couldn't sleep. His brain was raking pain, and his blood vessels seemed to explode. During the meal this morning, he even had a slight hallucination, thinking that Xu Lingyin was snatching his meat bun.
The eyes were covered with bloodshot and the circles were black and blue, which reminded Xu Qi'an of living in a blessed society of 996, and occasionally experiencing a 007, which was also so miserable.
There are two days left, and after these two days, I should be able to advance to the God Refining Realm.You can't let yourself fall asleep, otherwise you will fail... Why do you feel your heart beat so hard...
Xu Qi'an took a deep breath, took off the water bag and poured it on his head, so as to stimulate his body and cheer up his spirits.
……
A caravan of 300 people was trekking on the official road, and flat carriages were pulling goods. Under the tarp was covered with silk, tea, porcelain and rouge powder produced in Yunzhou.
There are some specialties from Yunzhou, such as snake salinity inkstones, yellow crystal stones, etc.
The owner of the caravan was a man with a flesh-faced face, named Zhao Long. He was also a famous hero in Yunzhou's early years, and he was both black and white.
I was tired of licking blood from the knife, and relying on the reputation I made in my early years and my connections, I started a caravan business.
He can always manage the copycats along the way, leave Yunzhou steadily, disperse the goods everywhere, and make a lot of money.
Over time, many businessmen are willing to spend a lot of money to join Zhao Long's caravan and seek peace.
Zhao Long's caravan has developed to this day and has evolved into a half-business and half-armor.
Yang Yingying was the part who hid under this big tree to enjoy the shade, but she left Yunzhou as a scattered person and spent twenty taels of silver to ask for protection from the caravan.
After all, a weak woman like her could not leave Yunzhou independently. Maybe one day she would be robbed by bandits on the official road and become the wife of the village.
With her appearance, she is more than enough to be a wife in the village.
Yang Yingying was originally a woman from the Yunzhou Jiaofangsi. She was also a courtesan when she was young. Later, she had the honor to meet a good man and redeem her for her. She was kept in the yard and became an outdoor room.
After thirty years, my appearance has not diminished, but my figure has become more plump, which has added to the charm of a mature woman.She has a pair of bright almond eyes, and she looks at people with full eyes.
Yang Yingying, who was riding on the horse, noticed the hot gazes of the surrounding bodyguards, couldn't help but tighten her cloak and buried her head lower.
At first glance, her hands were protecting her plump breasts to avoid being desecrated by the eyes of some men. In fact, she was protecting an object in her arms.
It was this object that forced her to leave Yunzhou.
A stunner looked at Yang Yingying's back with a drooling look on his horse, with his skirt pressing against his body, and his tight buttocks were so attractive.
The strong bodyguard caught up with Yang Yingying and grinned: Beauty, play with the uncle tonight.All the money you earned during this trip belongs to you.What about ten taels of silver.
Yang Yingying ignored him, did not respond or refused, and just pretended that he was not the same person.
The escort said a few more words, and saw that the beauty ignored him and left cursed.
Several stints who were familiar with him burst into laughter and ridiculed him.But everyone has disappointment in their eyes.This woman doesn't get into the water, and they don't have a chance either.
A few corpses with human lives flashed in their eyes. If this kind of water-spirited woman who had not met Boss Zhao, she would have been eaten by others and would not even have bones left.
Zhao Long, in front of the caravan, raised his hand and made a gesture. The studs immediately drew out their weapons, as if they were facing a great enemy.But only half of the knife is unsheathed, which is an unwritten rule for warding.
Everyone is seeking wealth in the world. Unless the strength of the two sides is very different, they will not fight to the death.What's more, Boss Zhao has always been a bit weak in the underworld, otherwise he would not have been able to make such a deal.
Seventy or eighty people jumped out of the dense forest on both sides of the path, with bright swords and spears, and more than twenty cavalrymen broke out on the fork road, all of whom were strong and strong.
Zhao Long was a little puzzled. He had to walk this road several times every year. He knew exactly which section of the road needs to be processed and which mountain needs filial piety.
When did such a group of scissor bandits appear in this forest? Zhao Long pressed his hand and signaled his subordinates to be calm. He rode his horse forward for a short period of time and said loudly:
In Zhao Long, what path did your friends do you have before...
As he got closer, he suddenly realized something was wrong. The group of bandits had military crossbows hanging around their waists and holding standard long swords in their hands. These were all military equipment.
Zhao Long has heard that some big villages do not lack military supplies, including swords, swords, crossbows, and even muskets, all of which are top bandits, and they should not appear here.
……
Ning Yan, you look like a sick man who has been hollowed out by a woman.Song Tingfeng and Xu Qi'an went hand in hand and took the opportunity to joke and mock him.
Xu Qi'an glanced at him and said lightly: I have a friend who asked me if I have any pills for Si Tianjian to strengthen the yang and nourish the kidneys.
Song Tingfeng's smile froze.
My friend is Zhu Guangxiao, Guangxiao Ah. You all have a fiancée, why bother to work so hard?Song Tingfeng turned the blame on Zhu Guangxiao.
Zhu Guangxiao looked at him silently, but felt unwilling to accept it, and retorted: I am from Xiangxiyu, you have a look of ugly food. Every morning, the girl who sleeps with you can't get out of bed.
You don’t know how to control yourself and you’re deficient.
The martial artist has a strong body and strong energy, but even the Bull Demon King will plow from late to early every day. As the days go by, the qi and blood will be deficient.
I'm awesome.Song Tingfeng was dissatisfied and smiled proudly: Only the girls from the Jiaofangsi can cooperate with me as much as possible, even though they were tired of resisting it.
Tingfeng Ah...
When Song Tingfeng heard Xu Qi'an calling him, he turned to look over: What are you doing?
It’s not that you are powerful, but that others can tolerate your insignificance.
You get out.
While laughing and scolding, Jiang Luzhong, who led the team, said in a deep voice: There is a smell of blood in front of you, everyone is ready.
clang... The sound of the blade being unsheathed was uniform, and the Hu Ben Guard and the Dageng man drew out the sword at the same time and took off the military crossbow.
Progress!Jiang Luzhong rushed out with a horse's belly.
The governor's team instantly entered a marching state, with extremely fast speed and orderly manner.
After marching for ten minutes, a dense forest appeared in front of him, and the wind brought a strong smell of blood.
The moment he entered the dense forest, sharp arrows shot from both sides, attacking the running Khagenren and the Hu Ben Guard.
Jiang Luzhong raised his hand and pressed it down. The rain of arrow hit the invisible air wall and fell powerlessly.
He waved his hand and said: Hu Ben Army, enter the forest to kill the enemy.
While speaking, Jiang Luzhong looked forward, hundreds of corpses were corpses on the official road, and blood stained the ground.The horses were unable to escape the vicious hand, and the cargo transported by the caravan was scattered all over the ground.
He immediately analyzed the situation... Because he smelled the smell of blood in advance, he ordered the team to rush forward. When the group of scissor bandits heard the sound of horse hooves, they had no time to retreat, so they ambushed in the forest.
Fierce battles came from the dense forest. The Hu Ben Guard was one of the five guards in the capital. Although he was not as brave and good at fighting as the imperial guards, he was far better than the local army.
The number of people on both sides is not much different, with arrows and blades intertwined, and they fought back and forth.
Jiang Luzhong was stunned, a little surprised, and turned his head to look at Xu Qi'an: Ning Yan, have you ever killed someone?
Killed one, seriously injured one.Xu Qi'an looked at the caravan with corpses all over the ground and reported his achievements casually.
Jiang Luzhong sneered: A boy with no hair.
People burst into laughter.
Except for Xu Qi'an, a rookie who joined the fight for less than two months, everyone else is a warrior who has experienced many battles and does not blink.
Jiang Luzhong pointed at Linzi and said: Go, practice your hands, kill at least ten people.
Xu Qian withdrew his gaze and slowly breathed: OK!
